Runaway lyrics - Del Shannon

As I walk along, I wonder
A-what went wrong with our love
A love that was so strong

And as I still walk on, I think of
The things we've done together
While our hearts were young

I'm a-walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery

I wonder
I wah-wah-wah-wah-wonder
Why
Why, why, why, why, why
She ran away

And I wonder
Where she will stay
My little runaway
A-run, run, run, run, runaway

I'm a-walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery

And I wonder
I wah-wah-wah-wah-wonder
Why
Why, why, why, why, why
She ran away

And I wonder
Where she will stay
My little runaway
A-run, run, run, run, runaway
A-run, run, run, run, runaway
A-run, run, run, run, runaway

Running Scared lyrics - Del Shannon

Just running scared
each place we go
So afraid that he might show
Just running scared,
what would I do
If he came back and wanted you?

Just running scared
feeling low
Running scared
you loved him so
Just running scared
afraid to lose
If he came back,
which one would you choose?

Then all at once he was standing there
So sure of himself, his head in the air
My heart was breaking,
which one would it be?
You turned around walked away with me

Hats Off To Larry lyrics - Del Shannon

Once I had a pretty girl
Her name it doesn't matter
She went away with another guy
Now he won't even look at her

Hats off to Larry
He broke your heart
Just like you broke mine
When you said we must part
He told you lies,
Now it's your turn to cry-cry-cry
Now that Larry's said goodbye to you

I know this may sound strange
I want you back, I think you'll change
But there's one more thing I got to say

Hats off to Larry
It may sound cruel
But you laughed at me
When you said we were through
You told me lies,
Now its your turn to cry-cry-cry
Now that Larry's said goodbye to you

(Marie's The Name) His Latest Flame lyrics - Del Shannon

A very old friend came by today
'Cause he was telling everyone in town
About the love that he just found
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

He talked and talked and I heard him say
That she had the longest blackest hair
The prettiest green eyes anywhere
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burning
I wished him luck and then he said goodbye
He was gone but still his words kept returning
What else was there for me to do but cry

Would you believe that yesterday
This girl was in my arms and swore to me
She'd be mine eternally
And Marie's the name of his latest flame

I Wake Up Crying lyrics - Del Shannon

(originally by Cliff Richard)

I wake up crying
After tossin' and turnin'
And a-yearnin' the whole night long
Pretty baby since you went away
I haven't spent a happy day

I wake up crying
After sobbin' and sighin'
And a-wonderin' just what went wrong
Pretty baby I was good to you
Why'd you go and make me blue

I need your arms to hold me tight
I need your sweet lips to kiss me goodnight
I'm so unhappy on my own
Don't don't leave me sad and lonely

I wake up crying
After tossin' and turnin'
And a-yearnin' the whole night long
Pretty baby please come back to me
Save me from this mesery
Oh baby won'tcha save me from this mesery
Please baby won'tcha save me from this mesery

So Long Baby lyrics - Del Shannon

I see you're laughing and
A-telling everyone in town
That you've made a fool of me
Well go ahead and talk some more
'cause, baby, I don't care no more
You don't bother me at all

'cause I got news for you:
I was untrue too
And I don't care what you say
So go and laugh some more
'cause baby I don't care no more
I got another lover of my own

Step by step you put me down
Always calling me a clown
If you ever go away
Promise that you'll stay
Far, far, far away from me

Now that we played our game
I guess we're both to blame
We tried to break each other's hearts
You had one jump on me
But I jumped twice, you see
It's over now, be on your way

So long, baby, be on your way
I had a ball, you thought I'd fall
You had one jump on me
But I jumped twice, you see
It's over now, be on your way

So long, baby, be on your way
So long, baby, be on your way
So long, baby, be on your way

Runaround Sue lyrics - Del Shannon

Here's my story, it's sad but true
It's about a girl that I once knew
She took my love then ran around
With every single guy in town

Yeah I should have known it from the very start
This girl will leave me with a broken heart
Now listen people what I'm telling you
A keep away from a Runaround Sue

I might miss her lips and the smile on her face
The touch of her hair and this girl's warm embrace
So if you don't want to cry like I do
A keep away from-a Runaround Sue

Ah, she likes to travel around
She'll love you and she'll put you down
Now people let me put you wise
Sue goes out with other guys
Here's the moral and the story from the guy who knows
I fell in love and my love still grows
Ask any fool that she ever knew, they'll say
Keep away from-a Runaround Sue

Yeah keep away from this girl
I don't know what she'll doe
Keep away from Sue

She likes to travel around
She'll love you and she'll put you down
Now people let me put you wise
She goes out with other guys

Here's the moral and the story from the guy who knows
I fell in love and my love still grows
Ask any fool that she ever knew, they'll say
Keep away from a Runaround Sue

Stay away from that girl
Don't you know what she'll do now

Hey! Little Girl lyrics - Del Shannon

Last night I walked through the streets of my town.
I saw the shadow of a girl I had known.
And through the shadows I could see many tears,
And so I walked up and I said,

"Hey, little girl,
Let me fix your broken heart.
I'll replace each broken part that's gone.
Because I know I could try,
Hey, little girl, my heart's been broken too."

"Do you remember last September
When I met you at a dance?
You were with a guy named Joe
And all at once he said you had to go.
I never even caught your name!"

"Hey, little girl,
I've been searching everywhere,
Here, there, everywhere for you
Because I have cried for you
Hey, little girl, I'm so in love with you!"

"Hey, little girl,
I can see that he was mean.
He shattered all the dreams you had.
So come with me and see
Hey, little girl, I'll make all your dreams come true!
Come, little girl, I'll make all your dreams come true!"

Hey Baby lyrics - Del Shannon

Hey hey-ey, baby, I wanna know-o-o if you'll be my girl
I said hey hey-ey, baby, I wanna know-o-o if you'll be my girl

When I saw you walking down the street,
I said that's the kind of girl I'd like to meet.
She's so pretty, Lord, she's fine.
I'm gonna make her mine all mine

I said hey hey-ey, baby, I wanna know-o-o if you'll be my girl

When you turned and walked away
That's when I wanna say
Come on, baby, give me a whirl.
I wanna know if you'll be my girl.

I said hey hey-ey, baby, I wanna know-o-o if you'll be my girl

When you turned and walked away
That's when I wanna say
Come on, baby, give me a whirl.
I wanna know if you'll be my girl.

I said hey hey-ey, baby, I wanna know-o-o if you'll be my girl

Dream Baby lyrics - Del Shannon

Sweet dream baby
Sweet dream baby
Sweet dream baby
How long must I dream

Dream baby got me dreamin' sweet dreams the whole day through
Dream baby got me dreamin' sweet dreams night time too
I love you and I'm dreaming of you but that won't do
Dream baby make me stop my dreamin', you can make my dreams come true

Sweet dream baby
Sweet dream baby
Sweet dream baby
How long must I dream
Dream baby got me dreamin' sweet dreams the whole day through (dream baby)
Dream baby got me dreamin' sweet dreams night time too (dream baby)
I love you and I'm dreaming of you but that won't do (dream baby)
Dream baby make me stop my dreamin', you can make my dreams come true

Aw, sweet dream baby (dream baby)
Yeah, yeah, sweet dream baby (dream baby)
Sweet dream baby (dream baby)
How long must I dream

Sweet dream baby (dream baby)
Sweet dream baby (dream baby)

She Thinks I Still Care lyrics - Del Shannon

(She thinks I still care)

Just because I asked a friend about her
Just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just because I'm not the happy guy I used to be
She thinks I still care

Just because I haunt the same old places
Where the memory of her lingers everywhere
Just because I rang her number by mistake today
She thinks I still care

But if she's happy thinking I still need her
Then let that silly notion bring her cheer
Oh, how could she ever be so foolish?
Oh, where did she get such an idea?

Just because I asked a friend about her
Just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just because I saw her then went home to pieces
She thinks I still care

Cry Myself To Sleep lyrics - Del Shannon

The party's over, everybody go home
I'm sorry but I'd like to be alone
'Cause every time I see her I have to weep
I'm gonna cry myself to sleep

I threw this party, never thought she'd come back
All she wants to do is see me cry
And when I see her I just have to weep
I'm gonna cry myself to sleep

Cry y-y-y-y-y
Cry y-y-y-y-y

Did you notice how she danced with every guy but me
She loves to see me in misery
I used to be her little buttercup
But now she comes around just to break me up

So everybody won't you please go home
The party's over and I'd like to be alone
And when I see her I just have to weep
I'm gonna cry myself to sleep

Cry y-y-y-y-y
Cry y-y-y-y-y

Did you notice how she danced with every guy but me
She loves to see me in misery
I used to be her little buttercup
But now she comes around just to break me up

So everybody won't you please go home
The party's over and I'd like to be alone
'Cause when I see her I just have to weep
I'm gonna cry myself to sleep

The Swiss Maid lyrics - Del Shannon

One time a long time ago
On a mountain in Switzerland, yo lo lo lo
There lived a fair young maiden
Lovely but lonely, oh oh oh oh

Day after day, she'd pine her heart away
Yo lo lo lo lady yay
But no love came her way

One day, her papa said, "Some day we'll go down to the village
In the valley, there you'll meet a nice young man, he'll ask for your hand
Then you'll be happy"

But every day she grew unhappier
On a mountain in Switzerland, yo lo lo lo
Every day a little bit lonelier
Which way to turn and which way to go

Day after day, she'd pine her heart away
Yo lo lo lo lady yay
But no love came her way

Some say the maiden's dream never came true
She never got to go to the valley
If she did or not, I really don't know, oh oh oh oh
Did she die unhappy?

I'd rather think she found her love
Wouldn't you rather think she did find love?
Somewhere, some way
Yo lo lady yay, yo lo lady yay

Go Away Little Girl lyrics - Del Shannon

Go away little girl, go away little girl,
I'm not supposed to be alone with you
Oh I know that your lips are sweet
But our lips must never meet
I belong to someone else, and I must be true

Go away little girl, go away little girl
It's hurting me more each minute that you delay
When you are near me like this,
You're much too hard to resist,
So go away little girl before I beg you to stay

Go away, please don't stay
[?]
When you are near me like this
You're much too hard to resist
Go away little girl
Call it a day little girl
Go away little girl before I beg you to stay
Go away

Little Town Flirt lyrics - Del Shannon

Here she comes, that little town flirt
You're falling for her and your gonna get hurt
Yeah, I know it's so hard to resist
The temptation of her tender red lips
But you can get hurt, hur-hur-hurt
Yeah, you can get hur-hur-hur-hur-hurt
Foolin' around with that little town flirt

Here she comes with that look in her eye
She plays around with every guy that goes by
Yeah, I know she's gonna treat you wrong
So your heart just better be strong
'Cause you can get hurt, hur-hur-hurt
Yeah, you can get hur-hur-hur-hur-hurt
Foolin' around with that little town flirt

I know how you feel, you think her love is real
You think this time she'll be sincere
But you'll think you gotta paper heart
When she starts to tear it apart
That's when she'll let you go
Whoa whoa whoa

Here she comes, just look at that style
She's looking at you, giving you that smile
But I know she's gonna treat you wrong
So your heart just better be strong
'Cause you can get hurt, hur-hur-hurt
Yeah, you can get hur-hur-hur-hur-hurt
Foolin' around with that little town flirt

You bette run and hide now, boy
You better pass her by now, yeah boy
You better run away now, yeah

Two Kinds Of Teardrops lyrics - Del Shannon

There are two kinds of teardrops (two kinds of teardrops)
That I know you can cry (two kinds of teardrops)
One is known as lonely teardrops (two kinds of teardrops)
That come when lovers say goodbye

I know the last lover you had
He let you down and treated you bad
I know he made you cry, oh yeah
I know he made you cry
Those lonely teardrops

But there's another kind of teardrop (two kinds of teardrops)
That I know you can cry (two kinds of teardrops)
And they're known as happy teardrops (two kinds of teardrops)
That come from feeling good inside

I'll make you cry those tears of joy
I'll mend the heart he nearly destroyed
I'm gonna make you cry, but don't worry
I'm gonna make you cry
Those happy teardrops

I know your little heart has suffered in vain
He hurt you over and over again
But he won't hurt you any more, so
Just forget the lonely past
And the romance that didn't last
And dry those lonely teardrops from your eyes
(from your eyes)

Kelly lyrics - Del Shannon

Kelly and I meet secretly
We stay out of sight
When we're in each others arms
We know it isn't right

We are so in love
But he loves you too
How can I tell my best friend
That I'm in love with you

He's told me of your sweet caress
And of your lovely eyes
Just how long can we go on
Telling him all these lies

We are so in love
But he loves you too
How can I tell my best friend
That I'm in love with you

Oh, Kelly, please, please tell me
We gotta find a way
Tell me what can we say
Oh Kelly

He's coming home tomorrow
He's been gone so long
We could get away tonight
To run would be so wrong

We are so in love
But he loves you too
How can I tell my best friend
That I'm in love with you

Oh Kelly, please, please tell me
We gotta find a way
Tell me what can we say
Oh Kelly

Oh Kelly
Oh Kelly
Oh Kelly

From Me To You lyrics - Del Shannon

If there's anything that you want,
If there's anything I can do,
Just call on me and I'll send it along
With love from me to you.

I've got everything that you want,
Like a heart that is oh, so true.
Just call on me and I'll send it along
With love from me to you.
I got arms that long to hold you
And keep you by my side.
I got lips that long to kiss you
And keep you satisfied, oh.

If there's anything that you want,
If there's anything I can do,
Just call on me and I'll send it along
With love from me to you.
From me, to you.

From me.
To You.

Just call on me and I'll send it along
With love from me to you.

I got arms that long to hold you
And keep you by my side.
I got lips that long to kiss you
And keep you satisfied, oh.
If there's anything that you want,
If there's anything I can do,
Just call on me and I'll send it along
With love from me to you.

Two Silhouettes lyrics - Del Shannon

I was walking to my baby's house late tonight
(I was walking, late tonight)
And when I got there the shades were all drawn tight
(the shades were all drawn tight)
And then I saw two shadows appear,
And all the rain seemed to turn to tears
And I'll never forget, this night in the rain
When I saw two silhouettes

Then the shadowed lips seemed to say I love you
(seemed to say I love you)
And it looked to me that they said the same thing too
(Liked they said the same thing too)
I never thought that I could cry
But it's the rain just a falling from my eyes
And I'll never forget, this night in the rain
When I saw two silhouettes (two silhouettes)

Two silhouettes on the window shade
Has caused each dream I had to fade
I started walking up to your door
Turned around,(turned around)
What's the use, (what's the use)
You don't love me anymore

Then I saw the two shadows kissing tenderly
(Saw them kissing tenderly)
I couldn't bare watching you kissing him
Instead of me (kissing him instead of me)
As I wandered on through the rain
I don't think I'll ever be the same
And I'll never forget, this night in the rain
When I saw two silhouettes

Sue's Gotta Be Mine lyrics - Del Shannon

Sue, why don't we go away
(go away)
Sue, we could leave today
(leave today)
Sue, what would your daddy say
(daddy say)
Sue, will he see things our way
(our way)

Come on, baby, we'll fund us a preacher man
In time your daddy will understand
Sue, who cares what people say
(people say)
Sue, let's leave today
(leave today)
I'll find us a secret hide-away
I'll get a job and I'll work everyday
Sue, you gotta be my baby
(be my baby)
Sue, you gotta be mine
(all the time)
Sue, you gotta be my baby
(be my baby)

Handy Man lyrics - Del Shannon

Hey girls, gather round
Because of what I'm puttin' down
Oh, baby, I'm your handy man
I'm not the kind that uses pencil or rule
I'm handy with the love and I'm no fool
I fix broken hearts, I know I really can

If your broken heart needs repair
I'm the man to see. I whisper sweet things
You tell all your friends, and they'll come running to me
Here is the main thing I want to say
I'm busy twenty four hours a day
I fix broken hearts, I know I really can

Hey girls, gather round
Because of what I'm puttin' down
Oh, baby, I'm your handy man
I'm not the kind that uses pencil or rule
I'm handy with the love and I'm no fool
I fix broken hearts, I know I really can

If your broken heart needs repair
I'm the man to see. I whisper sweet things
You tell all your friends, and they'll come running to me
Here is the main thing I want to say
I'm busy twenty four hours a day

Do You Wanna Dance? lyrics - Del Shannon

Well do you wanna dance and hold my hand

Oh baby do you wanna dance?

Well do you wanna dance under the moonlight
Kiss me baby all through the night

Keep Searchin' (We'll Follow The Sun) lyrics - Del Shannon

No one will understand what I've gotta do
I've gotta find a place to hide with my baby by my side
She's been hurt so much, they treat her mean and cruel
They try to keep us far apart, there's only one thing left we can do

We gotta keep searchin', searchin', find a place to hide
Searchin', searchin', she'll be by my side
If we gotta keep on the run, we'll follow the sun-ah, whee-ooh
Follow the sun-ah, whee-ooh

Doesn't matter, doesn't matter what people might say
She's mine, and I'm gonna take her anyway

Gotta keep searchin', searchin', find a place to stay
Searchin', searchin', every night and day
If we gotta keep on the run, we'll follow the sun-ah, whee-ooh
Follow the sun-ah, whee-ooh

We gotta keep searchin', searchin', find a place to hide
Searchin', searchin', she'll be by my side
If we gotta keep on the run, we'll follow the sun-ah, whee-ooh
Follow the sun-ah, whee-ooh
Follow the sun-ah, whee-ooh
Follow the sun

I Go To Pieces lyrics - Del Shannon

When I see her comin' down the street
I get so shaky and I feel so weak
I tell my eyes to look the other way
But they don't seem to hear a word I say, and I

Go to pieces and I want to cry
Go to pieces and I almost die
Every time my baby passes by

I tell my arms, they'll hold someone new
Another love that will be so true
But they won't listen, they don't seem to care
They reach for her but she's not there, and I

Go to pieces and I want to cry
Go to pieces and I almost die
Every time my baby passes by

I remember what she said when she said
"Goodbye baby, we'll meet again, soon maybe
But until we do, all my best to you"
I'm so lonely, think about her only

I go to places that we used to go
But I know she'll never show
She's hurt me so much inside
Now I hope that she is satisfied 'cause I

Go to pieces and I want to cry
Go to pieces and I almost die
Every time my baby passes by

Stranger In Town lyrics - Del Shannon

Me and my baby been on the run
So very long
Her folks sent a man to get us
They say we've done wrong

So we run, yeah we run, yeah we run
From the stranger in town

Stranger in town, he's out to get me
Stranger in town wants me and my baby

He follows me to every town
And if he gets me he'll bring me down

So we run, yeah we run, yeah we run
From the stranger in town

I'm not afraid of what they'll do to me
I'm just afraid they'll hurt my baby
We don't care if we run forever
Just as long as we're together

Stranger in town, I think we've lost him
Stranger in town, can't let him bring us in

Another town, one more mile
And we'll be free for a while

And we'll run, yeah we'll run, yeah we'll run
From the stranger in town

Stranger in town, stranger in town
Stranger in town, stranger in town

Break Up lyrics - Del Shannon

Don't try to fool me with tears in your eyes
I know it won't be long
I can feel it when we kiss
You'll soon be gone

I can tell there's something on your mind
You're just not the same
I can hear it in your voice
When you speak my name

We're gonna break up, break up, break up
I'm losing you

I can see things I never saw before
You keep hurting me more and more
Oh there's so much that I wanna say
But the right words don't come my way

We're gonna break up, break up, break up
I'm losing you

I can see things I never saw before
You keep hurting me more and more
Oh there's so much that I wanna say
But the right words don't come my way

We're gonna break up, break up, break up
I'm losing you

Break up, break up, break up
Break up, break up

"Rock On!" (1991)

Walk Away lyrics - Del Shannon

Every time I have to lie it tears me apart
Every time I see you cry
It takes a piece of my heart
I know that I said never never walk away from you
I know that I said I'd always be there my whole life through

I got to walk away, walk away
There's nothing left that I can do but walk away
Walk away
Slowly turn my eyes from you and walk away

Every time I make believe it hurts more and more
There was a time I couldn't see, now I know for sure
I know that I can't help it if it hurts you when I say goodbye
Don't know why it has to be the way it is, I tried and I tried

I got to walk away, walk away
There's nothing left that I can do but walk away
Walk away
Slowly turn my eyes from you and walk away

Walk away, Walk away

I got to walk away, walk away
There's nothing left that I can do but walk away
Walk away
Slowly turn my eyes from you and walk away

Walk away.

I got to walk away
There's nothing left that I can do but walk away
Walk away
Slowly turn my eyes from you and walk away

I got to walk away, walk away
Walk, Walk, Walk away
Walk away.

Who Left Who? lyrics - Del Shannon

Every time I see her
She tries to bring me down
She knows when to cry
And she knows exactly what to say
She turns the truth around
And makes it sound
Like I'm the one to blame
But I'm not the one, who introduced her to her latest flame
And I'll always remember that night
She said we were through
When she's not with him she forgets
Who left who

She don't really want me
But she don't want me to be free
Her pride can't stand the thought
Of someone else lovin' me
She still wants control
Of a love that she let go
When she said goodbye
She says I'm to blame
For all the pain
That she feels inside
But I'll always remember that night
She found someone new
When he's not around she forgets
Who left who
Who left who

All alone to sing the blues
And who told who
They found somebody new
And I'll always remember
Who broke my heart in two
When he's not around she forgets
Who left who
When he's not around she forgets
Who left who
Who left who

Are You Loving Me lyrics - Del Shannon

I lay here every night
You're dancing in my sleep
You walk into a room
And I can hardly speak
Don't you know what I've been thinking
If you don't know I'll tell you now
When you speak I hear angels singing
I can see it when I look into your eyes.

Than I wanna hold you
I wanna be with you
I'm in love with you
Are you lovin' me too?

I don't know
What it is but when you
Started comin' around
I took one look at you
Now my feet ain't touchin' the ground
I think you know what I've been feelin'
Do you feel the same way too
Do you feel the way my heart is beatin'
Can't you see it when you look into my eyes?

Than I wanna hold you
I wanna be with you
I'm in love with you
Are you lovin' me too?

I know there's something in your heart to me
You know you can't deny the things you see
So come to me
Than I wanna hold you
I wanna be with you
I'm in love with you
Are you lovin' me too?

Than I wanna hold you
I wanna be with you
I'm in love with you
Are you lovin' me too?

Than I wanna hold you
I wanna be with you
I'm in love with you
Are you lovin' me too?

Calling Out My Name lyrics - Del Shannon

There's trouble in paradise
With her love you pay such a price
She must be all alone again she's calling for me

She doesn't turn me all the time
When I need her she's got a busy line
She must be all alone again she's calling for me
What else could it be

I know she's
She's calling out my name
I know she's
She's never gonna change her ways
She's always treat me the same
And she knows it's true
What am I gonna do

I could go so far away
But I know I couldn't stay
Knowing that she's all alone again
Calling for me

She's dangerous to my heart
I shoulda known it from the start
She must be all alone again she's calling for me
What else could it be

I know she's...
And there is nothing I can do

I know she is...

I Go To Pieces lyrics - Del Shannon

When I see her comin' down the street
I get so shaky and I feel so weak
I tell my eyes to look the other way
But they don't seem to hear a word I say, and I

Go to pieces and I want to cry
Go to pieces and I almost die
Every time my baby passes by

I tell my arms, they'll hold someone new
Another love that will be so true
But they won't listen, they don't seem to care
They reach for her but she's not there, and I

Go to pieces and I want to cry
Go to pieces and I almost die
Every time my baby passes by

I remember what she said when she said
"Goodbye baby, we'll meet again, soon maybe
But until we do, all my best to you"
I'm so lonely, think about her only

I go to places that we used to go
But I know she'll never show
She's hurt me so much inside
Now I hope that she is satisfied 'cause I

Go to pieces and I want to cry
Go to pieces and I almost die
Every time my baby passes by

Lost In A Memory lyrics - Del Shannon

Lost in a memory
Of days gone by
I look at her picture and still wonder why
So young and so foolish
I let her go
I wonder if she thinks of me
Or if she knows
That I'd like to hold her (hold her)
And lay her down again (lay her down)
And tell her over and over what I should've said way back then
They say you can't, bring back yesterday
I'd like to try, does she feel the same way
I'm lost in a memory

Maybe somehow someway, I'll find her
And I'll hear her say that she needs me too
Words of an old song that we used to play
Bring back old memories of a cold rainy day
So young and so foolish
I let her go (let her go)
I wonder if she thinks of me
Or if she knows
That I'd like to hold her (hold her)
And lay her down again (lay her down)
And tell her over and over what I should've said way back then
They say you can't, bring back yesterday
I'd like to try, does she feel the same way
I'm lost in a memory
Where could she be
I'm lost in a memory
Where could she be
I'm lost in a memory
Where could she be
I'm lost in a memory
(Where can she be) Where could she be
I'm lost in a memory
Where could she be

I Got You (The Bird's Song) lyrics - Del Shannon

When the world
Gets me down
And I can't seem to find, my way around
Your love
Is standing by
You always know what I'm feeling, deep inside
Love, is what I do
Just as long as you got me
And baby I got you

When the world
Gets you down
And you can't seem to find, your way around
My love is standing by
And I'll be there if you need me, at your side
'Cause love is what I do
Just as long as you got me
And baby I got you

To some love comes and it goes
But we gotta love that's so strong
It's like a love nobody knows

'Cause love is what I do
Just as long as you got me
And baby I got you
Just as long as you got me
And baby I got you
Just as long as you got me
And baby I got you
Just as long as you got me
And baby I got you
Just as long as you got me
And baby I got you
Just as long as you got me
And baby I got you

What Kind Of Fool lyrics - Del Shannon

What kind of fool (do you think I am?)
What kind of fool (do you think I am?)
What kind of fool (do you think I am?)

What kind of fool do you think I am
You think you can go on seein' him
Darling after we had made our plans
Ya said I'll be your number one man

What kind of fool (do you think I am?)
What kind of fool (do you think I am?)

What kind of fool did you think I'd be
You said you really really love me
Darlin' you run around all over town
You built me up and then you let me down

What kind of fool...

I won't be your second choice
I got to be your number one
Oh I ain't gonna love you at all

I won't be your...

What kind of fool...

When I Had You lyrics - Del Shannon

I just stopped to say goodbye
Another day’s gone by
And I’d like to get some things I left behind

I could say that I’m alright
I can make it through tonight
Without you but you know that ain’t true
I know you found someone new
And I ain’t blamin’ you
Cause I’m the one that threw it all away

I never had it so good
But I never did things the way that I should
I never had it so good
Baby when I had you
When I had, when I had
Baby when I had you

Long empty days, long lonely nights
I would give anything, to make things alright
I never had it so good
But I never do things the way that I should
Ooh I never had it so good
Baby when I had you
When I had, when I had
Baby when I had you

I never had it so good
But I never do things the way that I should
I never had it so good
baby when I had you
When I had, when I had
Baby when I had you
I never had it so good

Let's Dance lyrics - Del Shannon

I'm sick and tired of being tied down,
It's good to see this old pace
Seems like a hundred years or more
Since I've seen a different face

Well it wouldn't be so bad
If she'd leave me alone
But she's never satisfied at all
So I packed my guitar and threw it in my trunk
Gonna have myself a ball

Let's dance, let's dance, let's dance the night away
I don't care if I ever get home
Keep playing those good old songs
Let's dance, let's dance, pass the bottle around
Let's bring up the sun when the morning comes
Lets dance all night long
Rock on!

Well it wasn't long ago that I settled down
To a life I thought was fine but all her friends and mine slowly changed my mind,
and I'd rather be free single any old day and to sit home and dry her tears
It's great to see everyone here, let's dance the night away

Let's dance, let's dance, let's dance the night away
I don't care if I ever get home
Keep playing those good old songs
Let's dance, let's dance, pass the bottle around
Let's bring up the sun when the morning comes
Lets dance all night long
Rock on!

And The Music Plays On lyrics - Del Shannon

Sitting here as lonely as the sky without the sun
Another busy signal as I call the one I love
My arms they keep on reaching out, for things that should be there
She told me when I left she told me that she'd always care
Two days I've been waiting, to talk with her again
It must be a broken line or she's talking to a friend
Cause I swear, I swear I heard her say
If you need me baby I'll be there

And the music plays on and on and on
The music plays on and on and on
Our love was strong, was strong, it was strong
When the music played on

Wonder if I'll ever, be with her again
Seems I'm in the middle and just can't find the end
Maybe I'll just light up another cigarette
Poor me all the wine you got, maybe I'll forget
All the plans we made and all the things we used to do
All the lies she told me, me pretending to be true
But I swear, I swear I heard her say
If you need me baby I'll be there

And the music plays on and on and on
The music plays on and on and on
Our love was strong, was strong, it was strong
When the music played on

And the music plays on and on and on
The music plays on and on and on
Our love was strong, was strong, it was strong
The music plays on and on and on
The music plays on and on and on
The music plays on and on and on
The music plays on and on and on
The music plays on and on and on

Broken Promises lyrics - Del Shannon

Tonight you're leavin'
And it's goodbye.
Our fool in loves not strong.
How will I tell my heart that.
Broken words, broken promises.
Cause broken hearts.

I really love you.
And I still do.
Our love was make believe.
And now I plainly see that.
Broken words, broken promises.
Cause broken hearts

Don't you remember?
Things you once said.
Can't you forget him.
Take me back baby.
I'll be instead.

But you said you're sorry.
It has to end.
You put on quite a show.
And now I really know that.
Broken words, broken promises.
Cause broken hearts.

Broken words, broken promises
Cause broken hearts...

Cheap Love lyrics - Del Shannon

There you are standin' with those teardrops in your eyes
Tellin' me you're sorry for things you've done
I've heard that same old story so many times before
I know what you're doin' and I know where you're stayin' at night

I don't want your cheap love
I don't want you comin' around
Don't you know that you're cheap love
Someday it's gonna tear you down
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down

Here I am waiting like a fool I've always been
Hopin' maybe someday you will change
The same old lies you tell me are the same old lies you live
I know what you're doin' and I know where you're sleepin' at night

I don't want your cheap love
I don't want you comin' around
Don't you know that you're cheap love
Someday it's gonna tear you down
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down

I don't want your cheap love
I don't want you hangin' around
Don't you know that you're cheap love
Someday it's gonna tear you down

I don't want your cheap love
I don't want you comin' around
Don't you know that you're cheap love
Someday it's gonna tear you down
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, hey

Crime Story lyrics - Del Shannon

As I walk along I wonder what went wrong
With our love, a love that was so strong
And as I still walk on, I think of the things we've done
Together, while our hearts were young

I'm a walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me to end this misery
And I wonder. I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder why
Ah-why-why-why-why-why she ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway, run-run-run-run-runaway

I'm a walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me to end this misery
And I wonder. I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder why
Ah-why-why-why-why-why she ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway, run-run-run-run-runaway

I'm a walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me to end this misery
And I wonder. I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder why
Ah-why-why-why-why-why she ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway, a-run-run-run-run-runaway
A-run-run-run-run-runaway

Daydreams lyrics - Del Shannon

I sit here all alone, tears in my eyes, seeing shadows of you,
But it's only, only a daydream that I dream.
They say we're through,
It must be so, but I'm still thinking of you.
But it's only, only a daydream that I dream of you.

It was only yesterday, you were in love with me,
Now alone am I to dream, dreaming of only you.
I'm so lonely can't fight these tears making memories of you.
But it's only, only a daydream.
Oh it's only, only a daydream that I dream of you.

Don't Gild The Lily, Lily lyrics - Del Shannon

Listen to me, Lil'
And to what I've got to tell ya
I've been through the mill
And I don't want to sell ya
But the game of love
Is hard to understand
So here's some good advice
Never overplay your hand

Don't gild the lily, Lily
Don't let him know he's your only thrill
Even though he knocks ya silly
When he looks at you with his eyes of blue
Don't gild the lily, Lily
Don't overdo on the sweet talk too
If you act a little chilly
He'll be hangin' round warming up to you

Oh Lil', I know what I say
Cause I've been through the mill
So don't gild the lily, Lil'
Oh Lil', I know what I say
Cause I've been through the mill
So don't gild the lily, Lil'

Don't gild the lily, Lily
Don't let him know he's your only thrill
Even though he knocks ya silly
When he looks at you with his eyes of blue

Oh Lil', I know what I say
Cause I've been through the mill
So don't gild the lily, Lil'
Oh Lil', I know what I say
Cause I've been through the mill
So don't gild the lily, Lil'

Happiness lyrics - Del Shannon

I hope you're happy with someone new
Although I love you, I'm wishing you happiness
And all my love to you
I thought you loved me
I thought you cared
And then he came along and broke up our affair
But happiness, this is my wish to you

Although I know you're his
What can I do but sit here thinking how I love you?
Treat him gentle and don't be cruel
And he'll always live you and give to you
Happiness, this is my wish to you

Happiness, this is my wish to you
To you
To you

Hey, Good Lookin' lyrics - Del Shannon

Hey, good lookin',
Whatcha got cookin'?
How's about cookin'
somethin' up with me?
Hey, sweet baby,
Don't you think maybe
We could find us a brand new recipe?

I got a hot-rod Ford and a two-dollar bill
And I know a spot right over the hill.
There's soda pop and the dancin's free,
So if you wanna have fun come along with me.

Hey, good lookin',
Whatcha got cookin'?
How's about cookin'
Somethin' up with me?

I'm free and I'm ready,
So we can go steady.
How's about savin' all your time for me?
No more lookin',
I know I've been tooken[?]
How's about keepin' steady company?

I'm gonna throw my date-book over the fence
And find me one for five or ten cents.
I'll keep it 'til it's covered with age
I'm writin' your name down on every page.

Hey, good lookin',
Whatcha got cookin'?
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me?
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me?
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me?
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me?

I Can't Believe My Ears lyrics - Del Shannon

I can't believe my ears,
You're telling me we're through,
With a smile on your lips,
And a gleam in your eyes,
You're breaking my heart in two,

From your look,
I didn't know,
That your words would hurt me so,
I'm gonna cry,
Cry, cry, cry,
Cry my life away,
'Cause I love to watch you talk, talk, talk,
But I hate what I hear you say,

I can't believe my ears,
You really put me down,
I thought I was so high,
On the stairway to love,
But I'm way down on the ground,

You're such a diplomat,
With your words you lay me flat,
I'm gonna cry,
Cry, cry, cry,
Cry my life away,
'Cause I love to watch you talk, talk, talk,
But I hate what I hear you

I Can't Fool Around Anymore lyrics - Del Shannon

I threw away my date book today
Cos I won't need it anymore
Cos I'm gonna marry a girl named Teri
So I can't fool around anymore

My friends say don't throw your life away
There's plenty other pretty girls around
But I don't care, we make a lovely pair
And I can't fool around anymore

I never thought I'd ever get caught
But I'm so glad I did
Cos now I see she means more to me
Than any other girl ever could

So I'm gonna marry my girl named Teri
No matter what the others say or do
I'm tired of fooling 'round
I'm gonna settle down
So I can't fool around anymore

I'm tired of fooling 'round
I'm gonna settle down
Si can't fool around anymore

I've played around all the spots in town
Had a different date every night
But starting today, our love's here to stay
And we both wanna get wed

So I'm gonna marry my pretty girl Teri
And we're going on a honeymoon
I'm tired of fooling 'round
I'm gonna settle down
Can't fool around anymore
Can't fool around anymore
can't fool around... anymore
Anymore
Anymore
Anymore

I Don't Care Anymore lyrics - Del Shannon

You're leaving me you say that we are through.
I can't believe that you found someone new.
But now I plainly see, love's not meant for me.
Go ahead and go, walk out the door, cause darlin', I don't care anymore.

I finally thought that I had found, the girl for me.
But you're just like the others, you turned your back on me

I've always thought that you were meant for me
I always thought that love just had to be.
Love's one thing I can't win, I'll never try again.
So, go ahead and go, walk out the door, darlin', I don't care anymore.

Before you go there's just one thing I ask
a kiss from you, it's gonna be my last.
This is the end, you see, love's not meant for me.
So, go ahead and go, walk out the door, darlin', I don't care anymore.

Darlin', I don't care anymore...

I Think I Love You lyrics - Del Shannon

I know she’s the prettiest girl I’ve ever seen,
Just like seeing someone on a movie screen,
She’s rich and she lives in high society,
I keep saying ‘no, that’s not the life for me’,

She says she loves me and her life is filled with pain,
I want no part of it,
But I’d better explain,

I think I love you,
I think I love you,
I think I love you,
Love you,

She took me home to see her Father,
Lately she says she hasn’t seen her Mother,
Living behind a fence so high no one can see,
I keep saying ‘no, that ain’t the life for me’,

She says she loves me and her Father can give me many things,
She doesn’t understand,
They’re just immaterial things,

I think I love you,
I think I love you,
I think I love you,
Love you,

It would be easy to fall into the trap,
If she could only see that’s not where it’s at,

But I think I love you,
I think I love you,
I think I love you,
Love you.

I Wish I Wasn't Me Tonight lyrics - Del Shannon

I wish that I was another guy,
Tonight my baby's gonna say goodbye,
She doesn't know I already know,
A friend of mine just called and told me so,

Oh,
I wish I wasn't me tonight,
Oh,
I wish I wasn't me tonight,

I wish that I could find a way,
To turn tonight back into day,
I'm not a split personality,
But if I were, I'd send the other me

Oh,
I wish I wasn't me tonight,
Oh,
I wish I wasn't me tonight,

Here she comes and her arms are reaching out to me,
But nothing's changed,
She's gotten like she used to be,

Well now I think I'm beginning to understand,

The boy is jealous, it's plain to see
He's trying to take my baby from me,
If he could see her in these arms of mine,
Then he would know he's wasting his time,

Oh,
I'm so glad I'm me tonight,
Yeah,
So Glad I'm me tonight,
Yeah,
I'm so glad I'm me tonight.

I Won't Be There lyrics - Del Shannon

You treat me mean and cruel,
I'm such a fool for you,
You say you're gonna leave,
Darling please don't set me free,

Maybe someday you'll want me
And when you really want me,
You'll turn around,
I won't be there,

I know the boy you're dreaming of tonight,
It just don't quite seem right,
That he's your guy,

Oh why,
Don't you think it over,
Before you say it's over,
Forget he ever held you tight,

He's only going to break your heart in two,
Oh it just can't be true,
That he's your guy,

You left me once before,
To go with him,
Then he left you,
You came back to me again,

Maybe someday you'll miss me,
And when you really miss me,
You'll turn around,
I won't be there,

You'll love me for a while then set me free,
What is my destiny,
If he's your guy,
If he's your guy,
If he's your guy

I'll Always Love You lyrics - Del Shannon

This is the beginning,
The start of something I can't stop,
And I will always need you,
till trees don't grow,
till streams won't flow,
I'll always love you,

Maybe sweetheart,
Someday soon,
We will walk,
Side by side,
Then my darling,
You will know,
And you'll, you'll realize,

That I will always need you,
I swear it's true,
No one else will do,
I'll always love you

I'll Be Lonely Tomorrow lyrics - Del Shannon

Tonight you're in my arms,
Tell me that you love me,
Tomorrow I'll be gone,
Falling across the sea.

The joy I feel tonight,
Is turning in the sorrow,
So down and let me hold you close tonight,
I'll be lonely tomorrow.

While I'm in your arms,
Kiss me tender lit,
Whisper in my ear,
That you love me complete.

I wish that time,
Was something we could borrow,
Down and let me hold you close tonight,
I'll be lonely tomorrow.
Promise, that you'll wait for me,
And tell me,
Your love will always burn,
And take, the dreams we had together,
We'll still be here, darling,
When I'll returned.

I'll miss you so my love,
But I'll always got the past,
How I wish somehow,
We could make this moment last.

I know that time,
Is something we can't borrow,
So down and hold me close tonight,
I'll be lonely tomorrow.
Tomorrow...

I'm Gonna Move On lyrics - Del Shannon

I've been in this town, I guess too long
Too many parties and too many songs
Ain't got no job ain't got no gold
The Sheriff's coming so I better go.

He let me out of jail just yesterday
said "Get a job or be on my way"
Working never did agree with me
It tires you down and you can't be free.

So I'm gonna move on (I'm moving on)
I'm gonna move on (I'm moving on)
It's been fun but I've gotta run
I'm gonna move on.

We had a big party one Saturday night
Someone get drunk and he started a fight
I got thirty days in the county jail
I didn't have money couldn't post my bail
So I'm gonna move on (I'm moving on)
I'm gonna move on (I'm moving on)
It's been fun but I've gotta run
I'm gonna move on.

Maybe some day I'll settle down
Find a wife and we'd coming along
But until I'll do I'll be on the run
going to parties and-a having fun.

I'm gonna move on (I'm moving on)
I'm gonna move on (I'm moving on)
It's been fun but I've gotta run
I'm gonna move on.
[x2]

Jody lyrics - Del Shannon

Jody, I miss you so
More than you ever know
And I'll wait for Jody
Each year, you go away

I count the lonely days
'Til you return in June
The leaves begin to fall
The summer I'll recall
Next year, we'll be alone
Forever together

I'll write you every day
I'll buy a ring in May
And I'll wait for Jody
Jody, Jody, Jody, Jody, Jody

Kaw-Liga lyrics - Del Shannon

Kaw-Liga, was a wooden Indian standing by the door
He fell in love with an Indian maid over in the antique store
Kaw-Liga, just stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer "Yes" or "No".

He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tomahawk
The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he'd talk
Kaw-Liga, too stubborn to ever show a sign
Because his heart was made of knotty pine.

[Chorus:]
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga, he never got a kiss
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga, he don't know what he missed
Is it any wonder that his face is red
Kaw-Liga, that poor ol' wooden head.

Kaw-Liga, was a lonely Indian never went nowhere
His heart was set on the Indian maiden with the coal black hair
Kaw-Liga, just stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer "Yes" or "No".

[Chorus]

Then one day a wealthy customer bought the Indian maid
And took her, oh, so far away, but ol' Kaw-Liga stayed
Kaw-Liga, just stands there as lonely as can be
And wishes he was still an old pine tree.

[Chorus]

Kicks lyrics - Del Shannon

Girl, you thought you found the answer on that magic carpet ride last night
But when you wake up in the mornin' the world still gets you uptight
Well, here's nothin' that you ain't tried to fill the emptiness inside
But when you come back down, girl
Still ain't feelin' right

(And don't it seem like)
Kicks just keep gettin' harder to find
(Oh, you don't need kicks, girl)
And all your kicks ain't bringin' you peace of mind
(You just need help, girl)
Before you find out it's too late, girl
You better get straight

No, but not with kicks
You just need help, girl
Well you think you're gonna find yourself a little piece of paradise
But it ain't happened yet, so girl, you better think twice
Don't you see no matter what you do
You'll never run away from you
And if you keep on runnin'
You'll have to pay the price

(And don't it seem like)
Kicks just keep gettin' harder to find
(Oh, you don't need kicks, girl)
And all your kicks ain't bringin' you peace of mind
(You just need help, girl)
Before you find out it's too late, girl
You better get straight

No, you don't need kicks
To help you face the world each day
That road goes nowhere
I'm gonna help you find yourself another way

(And don't it seem like)
Kicks just keep gettin' harder to find
(Oh, you don't need kicks, girl)
And all your kicks ain't bringin' you peace of mind
(You just need help, girl)
Before you find out it's too late, girl
You better get straight

(And don't it seem like)
Kicks just keep gettin' harder to find
(Oh, you don't need kicks, girl)
And all your kicks ain't bringin' you peace of mind
(You just need help, girl)
Before you find out it's too late, girl
You better get straight

Lies lyrics - Del Shannon

Why do people tell lies,
Just to see others cry,
They tell you I've been untrue,
If you believe them,
You're believing lies,

Oh darling, believe what I say,
Don't let your heart get away,
Don't listen to gossip that's going round,
If you believe them,
You're believing lies,

Don't believe a word they say,
They're trying to get things their way,
If you believe every word you hear,
You'll wind up with only tears,

I know things look out of hand,
But if you just understand,
I'll clear things up if you just wait,
If you believe them,
You're believing lies,

Don't believe a word they say,
They're trying to get things their way,
If you believe every word you hear,
You'll wind up with only tears,

I know things look out of hand,
But if you just understand,
I'll clear things up if you just wait,
If you believe them,
You're believing lies,
If you believe them,
You're believing lies,
If you believe them,
You're believing lies.

Maybe Tomorrow lyrics - Del Shannon

(originally by The Everly Brothers)

I know we'll love again
Maybe tomorrow
I don't know where or when
Maybe tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow

You say, you say you're gonna cry
Because they've made us say goodbye
Our love will stand their test of time
Our ages won't be there to draw the line

I know we'll love again
Maybe tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow

You say, you say you're gonna cry
Because they've made us say goodbye
Our love will stand their test of time
Our ages won't be there to draw the line

I know we'll love again
Maybe tomorrow
I don't know where or when
Maybe tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow

Misery lyrics - Del Shannon

When your with somebody new Mi-i-isery.
Doin' things we use to do Mi-i-isery.
I remember every kiss we use to share.
It's hard to believe that you don't care.
When I turn around and your not there.
When I turn around and your not there.
Misery Oh Misery

When I sit alone at night Mi-i-isery.
How I long to hold you tight Mi-i-isery.
If this is the price I have to pay.
I don't want to live another day.
I just can't go on this way.
But I just can't go on this way.
Misery Oh Misery.

When your with somebody new Mi-i-isery.
Doin' things we use to do Mi-i-isery.
I remember every kiss we use to share.
It's hard to believe that you don't care.
When I turn around and your not there.
When I turn around and your not there.
Misery Oh Misery

My Love Has Gone lyrics - Del Shannon

Tonight you said that we were through
I've lost again and it is you
I walk alone and think of things, we've said and done
Our love has flown, like spring it came and now has gone

Do you remember summer days
Walks on the shore and ?date café?
It's winter now, and like the leaves, these tears are falling for you
I've lost your love, now I must face this world alone

And soon the night skies turn to dawn
And still my memories linger on
You're world goes on it's true, but my world stopped when I lost you
Here comes the dawn, my life my love, now are gone

My Wild One lyrics - Del Shannon

They call you a wild one
Yeah the wild one
But I will always love you
Everybody I know calls you the wild one
They say you're mean and cruel
And you're always on the run
They say that I'm too blind to see
And I'm gonna be so lonely if I fall in love
With such a wild one

Even mom and dad
Feel the same way
They say to let you go
You're gonna break my heart some day
You're a loose one, I know
But I can't let you go
I'll always be in love
With my wild one

They never really try to know you
They don't see to stand your ways
But I'll always be beside you
No matter what they say
And if I give you time
I believe you'll change
All your funny little ways
That make you seem so strange

So let 'em call you the wild one
I don't really care
It doesn't bother me
Cause we got a love to share
You're a little wild I know
But I can't let you go
I'll always be in love
With my wild one
Yeah my wild one
I will always love you
So let them call you the wild one

Out Of Time lyrics - Del Shannon

You don't know what's going on
You've been away for far too long
You can't come back and think you are still mine.

You're out of touch, my baby
My poor discarded baby
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time.

Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
You are left out, out of there without a doubt
'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time.

The girl who wants to run away
Discovers that she's had her day
It's no good your thinking that you are still mine

You're out of touch, my baby
My poor unfaithful baby
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time.

Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Yes you are left out, out of there without a doubt
'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time.

You thought you were a clever girl
Giving up your social whirl
But you can't come back and be the first in line, on no.

You're obsolete, my baby
My poor old-fashioned baby
I said baby, baby, baby you're out of time.

Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Yes you are left out, out of there without a doubt
'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time.

Sing a song.

Baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Baby, baby, baby, you're out of time.

You don’t know what’s going on
You’ve been away for much too long
But you can come back and...

You're out of touch, my baby
My poor discarded baby
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time.

Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Yes you are left out, yes you are,
I said you’re left out of there without a doubt
'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time, alright.

I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

Sea Of Love lyrics - Del Shannon

(originally by Phil Phillips)

Come with me, my love
To the sea, the sea of love
I want to tell you oh how much I love you

Do you remember when we met?
That's the day I knew you were my pet
I want to tell you how much I love you

Come with me
To the sea
Of
Love

Do you remember when we met?
That's the day I knew you were my pet
I want to tell you oh how much I love you

Come with me
To the sea
Of
Love

Do you remember when we met?
That's the day I knew you were my pet
I want to tell you oh how much I love you

Show Me lyrics - Del Shannon

Since I've been away, I've heard a lot of people say
They tell me that you've been playing around
It just can't be true, the things they say you do
But baby, I just gotta know for sure

You gotta show me that you've been true
Show me, nobody else will do
Tell me things will be the way they used to be
Show me, show me

They all say, that put me down
I don't think you'll ever roam around
Would you break me down
Would you play around

Show me, we'll never have to part
Show me, you'll never break my heart
Tell me things will be the way they used to be
Show me, show me

You gotta show me that you're always true
Show me, nobody else will do
Tell me things will be the way they used to be
Show me, show me

You gotta show me that you're always true
Show me, nobody else will do
Tell me, things will be the way they used to be
Show me, show me

Tell me, you'll never break my heart
Show me, we'll never have to part
Tell me, things will be the way they used to be
Show me, show me

Tell me that you're always true
Show me, nobody else will do
Tell me, things will be the way they used to be
Show me, show me

Sister Isabelle lyrics - Del Shannon

Far off in the distance I can hear the bells
Inside the church, there stands a girl I knew so well
As I get closer I can feel the chill
She's changing her name from Laura to Sister Isabelle

Isabelle, can you hear the words I say?
Isabelle, can you hear me while a-frame?

I can still remember the night she said goodbye
She said we'll meet again someday in a place under the new sky
But why have I stopped singing? I no longer hear the bells
She's changed her name from Laura to Sister Isabelle

Isabelle, am I really, really gonna lose you?
Isabelle, does he need you more than I do?

Isabelle, am I really gonna lose you?
Isabelle, does he need you more than I do?

Isabelle, no, no, Isabelle
Isabelle, no, no, Isabelle
Isabelle, am I really gonna lose you?

Sugar Shack lyrics - Del Shannon

There's a crazy little shack beyond the tracks
And ev'rybody calls it the sugar shack
Well, it's just a coffeehouse and it's made out of wood
Espresso coffee tastes mighty good
That's not the reason why I've got to get back
To that sugar shack, whoa baby
To that sugar shack.

There's this cute little girlie, she's a'workin' there
A black leotard and her feet are bare
I'm gonna drink a lotta coffee, spend a little cash
Make that girl love me when I put on some trash
You can understand why I've got to get back
To that sugar shack, whoa baby
To that sugar shack, yeah honey
To that sugar shack, whoa yes
To that sugar shack.

Now that sugar shack queen is a'married to me, yeah yeah
We just sit around and dream of those old memories
Ah, but one of these days I'm gonna lay down tracks
In the direction of that sugar shack
Just me and her yes we're gonna go back
To that sugar shack,
Whoa uh oh
O that sugar shack, yeah honey
To our sugar shack

Yeah, yeah, yeah, our sugar shack

Swiss Maid lyrics - Del Shannon

One time a long time ago,
On a mountain in Switzerland,
Yo lo lo lo,
There lived a fair young maiden,
Lovely but lonely,
Oh oh oh oh.

Day after day,
She'd pine her heart away,
Yo lo lo lady ya,
But no love came her way.

Some day papa said,
Some day we'll go,
Down to the village in the valley,
Then you'll meet a nice young man,
Ask for your hand,
Then you'll be happy

Every day she grew unhappier,
On a mountain in Switzerland,
Yo lo lo lo,
Every day a little bit lonelier,
Which way to turn and which way to go

Day after day,
She'd pine her heart away,
Yo lo lo lady ya,
But no love came her way.

Some say the maidens dream,
Never came true,
She never got to go to the valley,
If she did or not,
I really don't know, Oh oh oh oh.
Did she die unhappy?

I'd rather think she found her love,
Wouldn't she be better if she did find love?
Somewhere,
Some way.

Yo lo lo lady ya
Yo lo lo lady ya

The Answer To Everything lyrics - Del Shannon

Don't ask me a mountain of questions
When there is only one answer to it all
Do you love me, really love me as I love you
It's the answer to everything if you do

Don't give me a million excuses
When I am waiting with my arms open wide
Do you love me, really love me as I love you
It's the answer to everything if you do

If there is someone else
Some other place
Who holds your heart
Tell me now, truthfully
Before we start

Don't act like you misunderstand me
When there is simply no mystery to it all
Do you love me, really love me as I love you
It's the answer to everything if you do

The Green Door lyrics - Del Shannon

Midnight, one more night without sleeping,
Watching till the morning comes creeping.
Green door, what's that secret you're keeping?

There's an old piano
And they play it hot behind the green door;
Don't know what they're doing
But they laugh a lot behind the green door.
Wish they'd let me in
So I could find out what's behind the green door.

Knocked once, tried to tell them I'd been there;
Door slammed, hospitality's thin there.
Wonder just what's going on in there.

Saw an eyeball peeping
Through a smoky cloud behind the green door;
When I said "Joe sent me"
Someone laughed out loud behind the green door.
All I want to do
Is join the happy crowd behind the green door.

Midnight, one more night without sleeping,
Watching till the morning comes creeping.
Green door, what's that secret you're keeping?

Green door what's that secret you're keeping?

Green door!
