He don't
hang around
with the gang no more
He don't do the wild things
that he did before
He used to act bad
Used to, but he quit it
It make me so sad
Cause I know that he did it
for me
(Yes he did now)
And I can see
(It's still in the streets)
His heart, out in the street
He don't
comb his hair
like he did before
He don't wear those dirty old
black boots no more
But he's not the same
Somethin about his kissin
That tells me he's changed
I know that something's missing
inside
(mumble mumble)
Somethin's died
(It's still in the streets)
His heart, out in the street
He grew up on the sidewalk
Streetlight shinin above
He grew up with no-one to love
He grew up on the sidewalk
He grew up running free
He grew up and then he met me
He don't
hang around
with the gang no more
Gee, he doesn't smile like
he did before
I wish I didn't care
I wish I'd never met him
They're waitin downstairs
I know I've got to set him
free
(mumble mumble)
He's gotta be
(Out in the street)
His heart is out in the street
He don't hang around with the gang no more
(Out in the street)
He don't hang around with the gang no more
(Out in the street)
He don't hang around with the gang no more
(Out in the street)

The night we met I knew I needed you so
And if I had the chance I'd never let you go
So won't you say you love me?
I'll make you so proud of me
We'll make 'em turn their heads every place we go
So won't you, please (be my, be my baby)
Be my little baby? (My one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darlin' (be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now (my one and only baby)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
I'll make you happy, baby, just wait and see
For every kiss you give me, I'll give you three
Oh, since the day I saw you
I have been waiting for you
You know I will adore you 'til eternity
So won't you, please (be my, be my baby)
Be my little baby? (My one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darlin' (be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now (my one and only baby)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
So come on and, please (be my, be my baby)
Be my little baby? (My one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darlin' (be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now (my one and only baby)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Be my little baby? (My one and only baby)
Oh-oh-oh (be my, be my baby)
Oh (my one and only baby)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh (be my, be my baby)
Oh-oh-oh (My one and only baby)
Oh (be my, be my baby)

[Verse 1]
I was on my way to school when a fellow I did meet
Took me by the hand and he told me I was sweet
[Chorus]
And I knew by the way that he spoke
He was a bad motorcycle, voon-voon-voon
Yes, I knew by the way that he spoke
He was a bad motorcycle, voon-voon-voon
[Verse 2]
As we walked on along, he asked me for my phone
He told me his name and I told him the same
[Chorus]
And I knew by the way that he spoke
He was a bad motorcycle, voon-voon-voon
Yes, I knew by the way that he spoke
He was a bad motorcycle
[Bridge]
Girl, I'm not jivin' 'bout a thing
He knew just what's happening
He had my heart just a-bumpin'
Girl, he was really sayin' something
He had my heart upon a shelf
Girl, he was really something else

[Verse 3]
As I went home to sit down to wait
He called me at eight, not one minute late
[Chorus]
And I knew by the way that he spoke
He was a bad motorcycle, voon-voon-voon
Yes, I knew by the way that he spoke
He was a bad motorcycle, voon-voon-voon
[Verse 3]
As I went home to sit down to wait
He called me at eight, not one minute late
[Chorus]
And I knew by the way that he spoke
He was a bad motorcycle, voon-voon-voon
Yes, I knew by the way that he spoke
He was a bad motorcycle, voon-voon-voon
[Outro]
He was a bad motorcycle, voon-voon-voon
He was a bad motorcycle, voon-voon-voon
He was a bad motorcycle, voon-voon-voon
Ooh baby love, my baby love
I need you, oh how I need you
But all you do is treat me bad
Break my heart and leave me sad
Tell me, what did I do wrong
To make you stay away so long
'Cause baby love, my baby love
Been missing ya, miss kissing ya
Instead of breaking up
Let's do some kissing and making up
Don't throw our love away
In my arms, why don't you stay?
Need ya, need ya
Baby love, ooh, baby love
Baby love, my baby love
Why must we seperate, my love
All of my whole life through
I never loved no one but you
Why you do me like you do?
I get this need
Ooh, ooh, need to hold you
Once again, my love
Feel your warm embrace, my love
Don't throw our love away
Please don't do me this way
Not happy like I used to be
Loneliness has got the best of me
My love, my baby love
I need you, oh how I need you
Why you do me like you do
After I've been true to you
So deep in love with you
Baby, baby, ooh till it's hurtin' me
Till it's hurtin' me
Ooh, baby love
Don't throw our love away
Don't throw our love away
See the way he walks down the street
Watch the way he shuffles his feet
My, he holds his head up high
When he goes walking by
He's my guy
When he holds my hand, I'm so proud
'Cause he's not just one of the crowd
My baby's always the one
To try the things they've never done
And just because of that, they say
He's a rebel and he'll never ever be any good
He's a rebel 'cause he never ever does what he should
But just because he doesn't do
What everybody else does
That's no reason why I can't give him all my love
He's always good to me
Always treats me tenderly
'Cause he's not a rebel, oh no no no
He's not a rebel, oh no no no, to me
If they don't like him that way
They won't like me after today
And I'll be standing right by his side
When they say
He's a rebel and he'll never ever be any good
He's a rebel 'cause he never ever does what he should
But just because he doesn't do
What everybody else does
That's no reason why we can't share a love
He's always good to me
Good to him, I try to be
'Cause he's not a rebel, oh no no no
He's not a rebel, oh no no no, to me
Oh! (He's not a rebel, oh no no no
He's not a rebel, oh no no no
He's not a rebel, oh no no no
No no no
Seems like the other day
My baby went away
He went away 'cross the sea
It's been two years or so
Since I saw my baby go
And then this letter came for me
It said that we were through
He found somebody new
Oh, let me think, let me think, what can I do?
Oh no, oh no, oh no no no no no
(Remember) walkin' in the sand
(Remember) walkin' hand in hand
(Remember) the night was so exciting
(Remember) smile was so inviting
(Remember) then he touched my cheek
(Remember) with his fingertips
Softly, softly we'd meet with our lips
Whatever happened to
The boy that I once knew?
The boy who said he'd be true
Oh, what will happen to
The life I gave to you?
What will I do with it now?
(Remember) walkin' in the sand
(Remember) walkin' hand in hand
(Remember) the night was so exciting
(Remember) smile was so inviting
(Remember) then he touched my cheek
(Remember) with his fingertips
Softly, softly we'd meet with our lips

Mm--"Is she really going out with him?
"Well, there she is, Let's ask her"
"Betty, is that Jimmy's ring you're wearing?"
"Mm-hm"
"Gee, it must be great riding with him"
"Is he picking you up after school today?"
"Mm-mm"
"By the way, where did you meet him?"
"I met him at the candy store
He turned around and smiled at me
You get the picture
"Yes, we see"
That's when I fell for the leader of the pack
My folks were always putting him down
They said he came from the wrong side of town
They told me he was bad but I knew he was sad
That's why I fell for the leader of the pack
One day my dad said find someone new
I had to tell my Jimmy we're through
He stood there and asked me why, but all I could do was cry
I'm sorry I hurt you, the leader of the pack
Do do
He sort of smiled and kissed me good bye
The tears were beginning to show
As he drove away on that rainy night,
I begged him to go slow, whether he heard,
I'll never know Look out! Look out! Look out!
I felt so helpless, what could I do
Remembering all the things we'd been through?
In school they all stop and stare
I can't hide the tears, but I don't care
I'll never forget him, the leader of the pack
Ooh, the leader of the pack now he's gone
the leader of the pack now he's gone
the leader of the pack now he's gone

When I was a little girl
I had a rag doll
Only doll I've ever owned
Now I love you just the way I loved that rag doll
But only now my love has grown
And it gets stronger, in every way
And it gets deeper, let me say
And it gets higher, day by day
And do I love you my oh my
Yeah, river deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby
When you were a young boy
Did you have a puppy
That always followed you around
Well I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy
No I'll never let you down
'Cause it grows stronger, like a river flows
And it gets bigger baby, and heaven knows
And it gets sweeter baby, as it grows
And do I love you my oh my
Yeah, river deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby
I love you baby like a flower loves the spring
And I love you baby just like Tina loves to sing
And I love you baby like a school boy loves his pet
And I love you baby, river deep, mountain high
Oh yeah you've gotta believe me
River deep, mountain high
Do I love you my oh my, oh baby
River deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby
When I say I'm in love, you best believe I'm in love, L-U-V!
Here comes my guy walking down the street
Look how he walks with a dancing beat (da-da-da-da-da)
Thick wavy hair, a little too long (da-da-da-da-da)
All day long he's singing his song
And when I see him in the street
My heart takes a leap and skips a beat
Gonna walk right up to him
Give him a great big kiss, mwah!
Tell him that I love him, tell him that I care
Tell him that I'll always be there
Well, what color are his eyes?
I don't know, he's always wearing shades
Is he tall?
Well, I've got to look up
Yeah? well I hear he's bad
Hmm, he's good-bad, but he's not evil
Tell me more, tell me more
Big bulky sweaters to match his eyes (tell me more)
Dirty fingernails (tell me more)
Oh boy, what a prize (tell me more)
Tight, tapered pants, high button shoes (he's so cool)
He's always looking like he's got the blues (he's so cool)
And when I see him in the street
My heart takes a leap and skips a beat
Gonna walk right up to him
Give him a great big kiss, mwah!
Tell him that I love him, tell him that I care
Tell him that I'll always be there
Is he a good dancer?
Whaddayamean, is he a good dancer?
Well, how does he dance?
Close, very, very close!
Little boy, you probably don't know it
But on the night we met you stole my heart away
Little boy, can't help it if I show it
But I wish that you could love me too
Just as much as I love you
Yes, I know you would see that you were meant for me
Little boy, please let me be your little girl
Little boy, I hope you do believe me
'Cause it would break my heart if you should walk away
Little boy, just say you'll never leave me
And I'll give my heart and soul to you
Then you'll see our love is true
Yes, then I know you'll see how much you mean to me
Little boy, please let me be your little girl
I just want to go every place that you go
And do everything that you do
I just want to know everyone that you know
And spend my whole life loving you
Down, down, down, down, be, doo, be, doo
Down, down, down, down, be, doo, be, doo
He lives in my neighborhood
When he walks by, he looks so good
Wanna get to know him (ooh)
(Oh yeah)
Wish that I could show him (ooh)
(I care)
I wanna love him so bad (down, down, down, down, be, doo, be, doo)
You know it's drivin' me mad (down, down, down, down)
'Cause when I look in his eyes
I can see it, paradise
So I can't help it (ooh-ooh)
I wanna love him so bad
(Love him so bad)
I know his name, his name is Jim
I can't be blamed, for lovin' him
I could make him happy (ooh)
(Oh yeah)
If he'd only let me (ooh)
(Oh yeah)
I wanna love him so bad (down, down, down, down, be, doo, be, doo)
You know it's drivin' me mad (down, down, down, down)
'Cause when I look in his eyes
I can see it, paradise
So I can't help it (ooh-ooh)
I wanna love him so bad
(Love him so bad)
I could make him happy (ooh)
(Oh yeah)
If he'd only let me (ooh)
(Oh yeah)
I wanna love him so bad (down, down, down, down, be, doo, be, doo)
You know it's drivin' me mad (down, down, down, down)
'Cause when I look in his eyes
I can see it, paradise
So, I can't help it (ooh-ooh)
I wanna love him so bad
(Love him so bad)
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Down, down, down, down, be, doo, be, doo) I wanna love you so bad
(Down, down, down, down, be, doo, be, doo) yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Down, down, down, down, be, doo, be, doo) you know it's drivin' me mad
(Down, down, down, down, be, doo, be, doo) yeah, yeah, yeah
Spring in the air (filled with love)
There's magic ev'rywhere
When you're young and in love
Life seems to be (just a dream)
A world of fantasy
When you're young and in love
Each night seems just like the Fourth of July
When stars spangle the sky
The moon at night (shines so bright)
Seems to shine twice as bright
When you're young and in love
Ooh, dreams can come true (try a dream)
If you believe they do
When you're young and in love
Though many teardrops are bound to fall
True love can conquer all
When you're, when you're young and in love
(Trust and you'll find)
Ooh, ooh yeah
(There's no mountain you can't climb)
When you're young and in love
Though many teardrops are bound to fall
True love can conquer all
When you're, when you're young and in love
(Young and in love)
So in love
(Young and in love)
Oh, yeah
(Young and in love)
I'm in love with the prettiest boy in the USA
Hey, what'd ya say? Hey, what'd ya say?
I'm in love with the prettiest boy in the USA
(Hey, what'd ya say) I said, hey
But his mama bought a dog
Just to keep little me away
Hey, what'd ya say? Hey, what'd ya say?
You know, he barks when he sees me (big bad bull dog, that)
Howls every time I touch his hair (big bad bull dog, that)
Big bad bull dog, that big bad bull dog
You know he barks when he sees me (big bad bull dog, that)
Howls every time I touch his hair (big bad bull dog, that)
Big bad bull dog, that big bad bull dog
And every time I shoo him
(He tries to bite a leg) but I don't care
Big bad bull dog, that big bad dog
You know, his mama keeps that dog chained (big bad bull dog, that)
Out on the porch all night
Big bad bull dog, that big bad bull dog
You know his mama keeps that dog chained (big bad bull dog, that)
Out on the porch all nigh (big bad bull dog, that)
Big bad bull dog, that big bad bull dog
You know he barks like a charm but then
He don't bite (big bad bull dog, that big bad dog)
Ah-ah (big bad bull dog, that)
Oh, yeah (big bad bull dog)
Alright (that big bad bull dog, that)
Okay (big bad bull dog, that)
Alright (big bad bull dog)
Don't bite (that big bad bull dog)
Okay (that big bad bull dog)
Ah-ah (that big bad bull dog)
Alright (that big bad bull dog)
Some other guy may give me diamonds and pearls
The kind of things that mean so much to some girls
But in the long run, baby, it's love that really counts
Believe me, it's love that really counts
And baby, after loving you
I'm here to say that no one else will do
Who cares if you don't show me Paris or Rome?
As long as you are here, I'm happy at home
'Cause in the long run, baby, it's love that really counts
Believe me, it's love that really counts
When other loves have come and gone
This love of ours will soon go on and on
So take me in your arms
And darling kiss me like only you know how to do
It's love that really counts, love that really counts
I'm tellin' you

It's Love That Really Counts lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc
A closet full of glad rags
All tucked away in a bed that's swank
Two sedans and the latest sports car
Plus a lot of money in the bank
Baby, just give me you in a love affair made for two
Don't make no mistake about which one I would take
You're the one (you're the one)
You're the one (you're the one)
You're the one (you're the one)
The only one (the only one)
An all-expense-paid trip around the world
To see the sights I've read about
To travel 'round the world for 'most any girl
Would be a guess beyond a doubt
But if I had to choose between the trip and you
There would be only one thing that I could do
I don't have to come out and say my choice
You can tell by the sound of my voice that
You're the one (you're the one)
You're the one (you're the one)
You're the one (you're the one)
The only one (the only one)
To go to parties and to dances
And to be the belle of every ball
To have the guys line up for chances
Beggin' me to dance with one and all
Now give me just your romance
You don't even have to know how to dance
I don't need those other guys
You can tell by the look in my eyes that
You're the one (you're the one)
You're the one (you're the one)
You're the one (you're the one)
The only one (the only one)
You're the one (you're the one)
You're the one (you're the one)
You're the one (you're the one)
The only one (the only one)

You're the One lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC
I was walkin' down the street
And it was gettin' mighty late
Well, the truth of the matter is
This poor girl had been abandoned by her date
When, from out of nowhere
Came this music loud and clear
Let me see, from over there (No, from over there)
Over there? (Yeah)
Well, I open up the door
And much to my surprise
The girls were wearin' formals
And the boys were wearin' ties
And I feel that I should mention
That the band was at attention
They just stood there, oh, so neat
While they played their swingin' beat
So I grabbed this little boy
Who came struttin' 'cross the room
And I say "What's that?"
And he say: "Sophisticated boom, boom"
It's been long overdue
Sophisticated boom, boom
We been nee'in' somethin' new
Sophisticated boom, boom
Now stand up straight and tall
Like your back's against the wall
Take two steps forward (Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom)
And shake your hips (Boom, boom)
It's been long overdue (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
That's not very sophisticated (Sophisticated boom, boom)
We been needin' somethin' new, (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I do think she's blowin' her cool (Sophisticated boom, boom)
Now stand up straight and tall
Like your back's against the wall
Take two steps forward (One-two, forward)
(Boom, boom, boom, boom) Now shake your hips
Boom, boom (Oooh, oooh, ooh, ooh)
(Oooh, ooh, ooooh)
As I stand alone on this moonful night
for the first time I feel alone in life.
As I watched the moon kiss the starlit sky
I feel the need for your lips to press close to mine.
For so long I been afraid to love,
but right now I feel the need for love
and you, you have the love the love I need
to comfort me oo and I'm ready for love
truly ready for love your wonderful
sweet sweet love right now I'm ready for love.
I've tried to shield my heart from love's tender touch
'cause to lose in love would hurt so much;
but as I softly walk in my solitude
I searched my heart and found there's a need for you.
And for the first time I feel alone,
'cause I need a love to call my own;
and only you, you have the love the love I need
to comfort me oo and I'm ready for love
I'm truly ready for love you know I'm ready for love
your wonderful sweet sweet love
I'm ready right now I'm ready right now.
Something wonderful has come over me
and filled this heart of mine with ecstasy
I'm glad I finally opened up my eyes
and pushed the fear of love, the fear of love aside;
and for the first time I feel alive
I have the touch of love deep down inside.
And just as soon as I see your smiling face
I'll rush into your warm embrace.
Right now I'm ready for love,
I'm truly ready for love,
you wonderful sweet, sweet love
right now I'm ready for love
you know I'm ready for love,
I'm truly ready for love,
your wonderful sweet, sweet love
right now I'm ready for love
you know I'm ready for love,
I'm truly ready for love,
your wonderful sweet, sweet love
I'm Ready for Love lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC
I'm gonna hide if she don't leave me alone
I'm gonna run away
Don't!
'Cause you can never go home anymore
Listen, does this sound familiar?
You wake up every morning, go to school every day
Spend your nights on the corner, just passing time away
Your life is so lonely, like a child without a toy
Then a miracle, a boy, and that's called "Glad"
Now my mom is a good mom and she loves me with all her heart
But she said, I was too young to be in love
And the boy and I would have to part
And no matter how I ranted and raved, I screamed, I pleaded, I cried
She told me it was not really love but only my girlish pride
And that's called "Bad"
Never go home anymore
Now if that's happened to you, don't let this
I packed my clothes and left home that night
Though she begged me to stay, I was sure I was right
And you know something funny?
I forgot that boy right away, instead I remember
Being tucked in bed and hearing my mama say
"Hush, little baby, don't you cry
Mama won't go away"
Mama!
And you can never go home anymore
Mama!
No, I can never go home anymore
Do you ever get that feeling and wanna kiss and hug her?
Do it now
Tell her you love her
Don't do to your mom what I did to mine
She grew so lonely in the end
Angels picked her for a friend
And I can never go home (never) anymore
And that's called "Sad"
