MA-ME-O-BEACH

Ma-Me-O-beach

The kind of place

That I like to be

Running on the sand

Or just

Lying in my baby’s arms

I can’t swim

But I like the sea

So I’m going down

To Ma-Me-O-beach

I’m taking my babe

Gone in the water

While I’m sunning on the floor

I hear you call me in

But I’d drown for sure

Don’t mean

Maybe

Some like the tan

But they don’t like the sun

Me I’m brown enough

In fact

I’m over done

Turn me over

Pretty girls are there

If you’re good with the chat

All kinds of games

If you fancy that

Some like to swim

Some like to watch

Some come to make up

the crowd

And that’s a fact

FRIENDS

It’s been so long

Since I’ve seen you

My old friend

I remember your eyes

How they would shine

Those crazy times

When you and I

Fooled around

I remember the time

You fell in love

Didn’t know how

To say

Goodbye

To your baby

And you made me take

The goodbye note

Around

And that little girl

She cried

And cried

And she asked me it

I knew

Exactly why

You'd gone

I told a lie

I said you felt

She’d be much happier

With someone else

But then

You’d do the same

For me

Remember when

We stayed out late

We’d cause a fight

But we would never stay

To the end

I loved you then

I love you still

You know I think

I always will

You’re a good friend

A good friend

To me

Who was it

Who came for me when I

Was Stranded in the bad man’s land

Who was it

Who put up bail for me

When I was

So desperate to get out

Who believed with me

That I was not guilty

Who gave me beer when

I was thirsty

And who gave me twenty-five dollars to

Hold

IS IT TOMORROW YET

My baby say that the time is

A coming soon

But did not say

If it was in the morning

Or the afternoon

If we don’t meet today

I think tomorrow may

Bring a surprise

Before my eyes

Is it tomorrow yet

I’ve got to do my best

For my babe

I’ve been losing time

Has the clock spun ‘round

Did I sleep too late

Have I missed too much

Have I missed much

Have I missed much

I wanna see my baby

I wanna see my baby

Is it tomorrow yet

Can’t count the times we’ve met

And we’ve been

Going our different ways

Tomorrow I know we’ll be going

The same way

Don’t know ‘bout yesterday

And we may not meet today

Under this sky

But I’d like a surprise

Is it tomorrow yet

I’ve got to look my best

For my baby

This time I’m keeping track

There’ll be no looking back

No more maybe

Must be tomorrow today

Must be tomorrow today

Here’s my baby

TURN OUT THE LIGHT

Up and down

And all around

I’ve been looking for

You

In and out

And all about

I’ve been reaching for

You

I’ve got to tell you baby

Now my

Mind is made up

Things have looked bad

But now

Some years later

We still

Turn out the light

I’m gonna

Hold you

So tight

And when you wake up

From some

Peaceful sleeping

Just look over here

And I'll get you dreaming

Turn out the light

I’m gonna

Love you tonight

Many lovers

Have come and gone

Some I miss

And some

I don’t

Some were handsome

But none were plain

My good fortune

I suppose

I wanna tell you baby

Since I

Took up with

You

I mostly think of love

And that means you

Let’s turn out the light

I wanna hold you so

Tight

WHEN YOU KISSES ME

I’m trying to set

Your heart on tire

I wanna be

Your one desire

Cos’ when you kisses me

Make me feel so

Nice inside

Make me feel

So good

I wanna tell the world

I’m glad I found you

I’m a lucky girl

With you to hold me

Cos’ when you kisses me

Make me feel so

Nice inside

Make me feel

So good

Like my baby

There’s no other

You can tempt me

But

You won’t hold me

Oh my darlin’

Don’t you worry

No false promise

Ain’t no lie

I may look over my shoulder

But I will

Never leave your side

Both day and night

You fill my dreams

Who should I thank

For all you bring

Cos’ when you kisses me

Make me feel so

Nice inside

ALL THE WAY FROM AMERICA

You called all the way from America

And said

Hang on to love

Girl

But the weeks

And the months

And the tears

Passed by

And my eyes couldn’t

Stand the strain

Of that promised love

All the way from America

You called all the way from America

And said

I’ll soon be home girl

But the years

And the tears

And the fears

Passed by

And my heart couldn’t

Stand the pain

Of that promised love

All the way from America

All the way from America

I stayed all alone

And I waited ‘round

For you to knock at my door

But the knock never came

And no ring at all

And now I sit

And wonder

Why

You made that

First call

All the way from America

I don’t believe I’ll stay here

I don’t think I want to wait here

Anymore

And if you search for me baby

Better bring some more love

Than you declared

All the way from America

FEELING IN MY HEART (FOR YOU)

I have lost in love

I have lost in love

That’s twice today

Now you’re on my mind

What will I find

Will you be kind

To me

I won’t be afraid

I won’t be afraid to love

This time

Gentle

Yet firm

Darling I’m yours

Hold me tonight

Cos’ I

Got a feeling

In my heart for you

Got a feeling in my heart for you

I got a feeling in my heart

For you

I got a feeling in my heart

That’s true

Oh I

I

IIIII

Got a feeling in my heart for you

I

Got a feeling in my heart for you

Never leave

Your side

I will never turn my back on you

This feeling’s no lie

It’s just you and I

Hold me tonight

Cos’

I

Got a feeling in my heart for you

I

Got a feeling in my heart for you

SIMON

He’s from Ohio

Lives with his mother

He loves the woman

Who loves his brother

What can he do now

As she walks across the floor

Here comes his brother

Walking sideways

Through the door

Was the same at school

He played the fool

Or took a back seat

While Simon ruled

He played by himself a lot

And people called him shy

His mother said

Be more friendly

And he would ask her

Why

Has Simon

Got to be more friendly

And do I have to be like him

And mother said

No son

Gotta be yourself

Be more like I tell you

Be like me

Be like I tell you

Be like me

Now when Kathleen

Came on the scene

He saw her first

And then Simon spoke

He took her to places

That completely

Turned her head

Gave her practical things

Like

Diamonds for her neck

Has Simon got to be so friendly

Sometimes he makes me want to

Kill

Look at ‘em dancing

While he’s standing by the wall

There’s gonna be trouble

When the time to leave is called

And Simon won’t be feeling friendly

He’ll be lying too close to the floor

And mother said

Oh son

That’s not like you

You gotta be more like I tell you

Be like me

Be like I tell you

Be like me

I NEED YOU

Late

At

Night

I feel so lonely

Here’s a body next to mine

But I’m feeling cold

And baby

In the morning light

When I look in some

Stranger’s eyes

It’s then I know that

The need in me

Is really

For your paradise

I dance

I sing

But there’s something missing

Every night a different name to call

But you know

When I hold ‘em tight

I always give the game away

I try so hard

To make it right

But it always ends up the same

You know

I need you

I need you

Like I needed you

The first time we kissed

I need you

And I need you now

And I can’t resist

Standing by your door

In case you leave

I miss you mostly in the night

And I miss you

All through the day

I hate myself for hurting you

Yes I know I drove you clean

Away

You know I need you

But now I need you
