You're Free to Go Lyrics
You're free to go, darling
I'll break the ties that bind
Somehow the dreams we planned have gone astray
You're free to go, darling So ease your worried mind I'll never stand in your way
There's no ring of shining gold So strong that it can hold A heart when it longs to be free
The lips are cold, darling That once said yes to me The tender glow is gone, I know You're free to go

Oh, you said you was my baby
Now I know that you're my baby
But it seems to me you got rovin' eyes
If you wanna be my baby
Then you gotta be my baby
You can't keep your finger in two different fire
I remember how you pleaded
When you told me that you needed
My lovin' I believe it without a doubt
So if you wanna be my baby
Then you gotta be my baby
And you gotta leave 'em kissin' cousins out
Oh, when you're high steppin' I'm a crawlin' low I get suspicious and I'm a gonna tell you so If you wanna be my baby Then you gotta be my baby And be nobody's baby but mine
Now I heard there was another
So I went and asked your mother
If anybody hung around 'sides me
She gave me no satisfaction
So now I can't take no action
But I think that I'll just hang around and see
If you wanna be my baby
Then you gotta be my baby
And you gotta come to me and tell me so
If you're gonna be my baby
Then you gotta be my baby
I'm tired of waitin' round so let me know

You Done Me Wrong Lyrics
Well you tell me that you care
But now you're gone, you got me cryin'
No use denyin', you done me wrong
If I could look inside your heart
Then maybe I would know the reason
Why you are leavin' me all alone
Well you know it's not so When you say it's right, you know you lie I didn't do one wrong thing to you
Won't you tell me baby Why you went and left me here so lonely? I miss you only for I love you
If I ever make you sad
So you'd be mad and love to hurt me
And desert me for so long
Well you're telling everyone
What you done you think it's funny
Well listen honey you done me wrong

Well, tomorrow I'll be twice as blue
I'm so low I could die over you
I should have known that you'd never be true
Yes, I know why I want to cry, it's over you

Que sera, sera Lyrics
When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother, What will I be?
Will I be pretty? Will I be rich?
Here's what she said to me:
Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be
When I grew up and fell in love
I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead
Will we have rainbows, day after day
Here's what my sweetheart said:
Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be
Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother, what will I be?
Will I be handsome? Will I be rich?
I tell them tenderly:
Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be
Que sera, sera

Treasure of Love Written by: Joe Shapiro, Lou Stallman
Treasure of Love Lyrics
A treasure of love, is easy to find
It's waiting for you, if your heart isn't blind
A treasure of love, is not very far
It glows like fire and it shines, like a star
It's stronger than diamonds and worth more than gold This is a treasure that never grows old The treasure of love is found on no chart To find where it is just look in your heart

The Green Door Lyrics
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

I'm still, still, still, still
I'm still in love with you
And still, still, still, still
I can't love someone new
No one can take your place
No one ever will, oh, my darling
I love you, love you still
And still, still
I miss your magic touch
Still, still
I need you, oh so much
No one shares my embrace
No one ever will, oh, my darling
I love you, love you still
(I still love you)
Why did you have
To go and grieve me?
Come back, my darling
And never leave me
Still, still, still, still
My heart still aches for you
Still, still, still, still
Until it breaks in two
No one can take your place
No one ever will, oh, my darling
I love you, love you still

I Got the Blues for You Lyrics
Baby with the big box Tell me where your next stop I got the blues for you
If you don’t mind baby

Right after my mind
Half the drinks the beers

Break down you want no more
Everyone it’s funny honey
Tell me why you running baby

Tell me now what is it
What drag go to your head
I was the your hoping came
Make it all long
Baby you got a maid

Ready Teddy Lyrics
Ready, set, go man go
I got a girl that I love so
I'm ready, ready, ready Teddy I'm ready, ready, ready to rock and roll
Going to the corner, pick up my sweetie pie She's my rock and roll, baby, she's the apple of my eye
All the flat top cats and all the dungaree dolls Are headed for the gym to the sock hop ball The joint is really jumping, the cats are going wild The music really sends me, I dig that crazy style
Going to kick off my shoes, roll up my faded jeans
Grab my rock and roll, baby, pour on the steam
I shuffle to the left, I shuffle to the right
Going to rock and roll to the early, early night

Woke up this mornin' feelin' low
Where my loved one used to live,
She ain't there no more
Poor me, why such bad luck put on me
Poor me, I'm living in misery
What I'm gonna do is hard to tell
I'm not gonna kill myself
Though I might as well
Poor me, why such bad luck put on me
Poor me, I'm living in misery
All I do, all day long Fall down on my knees and pray She'll come back home
Poor me, why such bad luck put on me Poor me, I'm living in misery
