You're Not Laura

After you've gone
I'm still hanging on to your aura
I look where you stood
And wish that you would come back again
But you're not Laura
Oh yeah
All right
Feels so good
Feels so right
After you've gone
Still hangin' on to your last words
I think what you said
Over in bed and it makes me
Pleasantly disturbed
Oh yeah
All right
Feels so good
Feels so right
After you've gone
I'm still hanging on to your aura
I look where you stood
And wish that you would come back again
But you're not Laura

Dear Abby, dear Abby, I got one for you
I'm stuck in a cartoon like a monkey in a zoo
A friend said, "I like you when you are yourselves"
And his face turned inside out
And he stood on his head
And he asked me what that story was all about
The story of the monkey man and the undertaker's assistant
Well, I said
"Well, buddy, that's a sad story, 'cause it is born of pain"
He said, "Well, tell me that story anyhow
You know I'd like to hear how you broke your heart"
And was so sincere

Dreams Come True
01:57
|

|
My own true love
Confetti in her hair
The moon like a painted balloon
Stood behind her
Silhouetting her figure
She said she couldn't stand people
Who gave up trying
Dreams come true
Dreams come true
Dreams come true
Dreams come true
Come to my house
"Well said," I said
And stood on my head
Lovesick to my stomach
I had some more to say
But I forgot it
But I had this funny feeling
And I never lost it
Dreams come true
Dreams come true
Dreams come true
Dreams come true
Come to my house
Dreams come true
Dreams come true
Dreams come true
Dreams come true
Come to my house
At my house
Everyone was arguing
It was horrible
So I stepped outside
And the sun was shining
And the sky was blue
And it was beautiful
And my baby was standing there
And she said
Dreams come true
Dreams come true
Dreams come true
Dreams come true
Come to my house

Mean to Me
01:23
|
|||
|
You're mean
You're mean to me
Why must you be mean to me?
Gee, son, it seems to me
You love to see me cryin'
I don't know why I stay at home
Each night when you say you'll phone
You don't and I'm left alone
Singing the blues inside
You treat me coldly
Each day in the year
You always scold me
Whenever somebody's near
Dear, it must be great fun to be mean to me
You shouldn't for can't you see
What you mean to me?

Goodbye, sweetheart

Love Defined
02:36
|
|||
|
Love is patient and kind
Love is not jealous or boastful
It is not arrogant or rude
Love does not insist on its own way
It is not irritable or resentful
It does not rejoice at wrong
But rejoices in the right
Love bears all things
Believes all things
Hopes all things
Endures all things
Love never ends

To make you mine
Oh, oh, I love you so
With all of my heart
My hope, that'll never be apart

Love to hear that organ music
Love to hear it play
I could sit and listen to it all day
But i wouldn't feel so blue
If I had my own way
Your nobody til’ somebody loves you
Tombstone hormones never relax
Old feelings never die
I wish i could cry
Love to hear that organ music
Love to hear it play
I could sit and listen to it all day
But i wouldn't feel so blue
If I had my own way
Your nobody til' somebody loves you

Just like before
We could be together again
Don't ever forget
Aways remember
Cause for all you know
We could be together again
Together again

But he made a mistake
At the wedding... wedding

And there's lots of friends to have - yeah yeah yeah
You don't have nothing to do
Go downtown to see what's happening at the zoo
When you're right in the middle of a crowd
And you want to just yell out loud and you do
When you're looking out a window
And you're dreaming on a cloud
Don't you ever feel like
You just want to yell out loud
When you're thinking about nothing but it's something
But you don't know what it is
When you're smiling at the sky
Don't you ever wonder why
And there's a lot of things to see
And there's a lot of friends to have - yeah yeah yeah

Every night I hope and pray
'Dream lover will come my way
'Girl to hold in my arms
And know the magic of her charms
Because I want
A girl
To call
My own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
Dream lover, where are you
With a love, oh, so true
And the hand that I can hold
To feel you near as I grow old
Cause I want-
A girl-
To call-
My own
I need a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
Someday, I don't know-how
I hope you'll hear my plea
Some way, I don't know-how
She'll bring her love to me
'Lover, until then
I'll go to sleep and drеam again
That's the only thing to do
Till my lover's dreams comе true
Cause I want-
A girl-
To call-
My own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone

If I Kissed You Once

Now I've lived some years
And I've cried some tears
And I writ' some songs
And I writ' some songs
And I walked some miles
And I wore a smile
If I kissed you once
I kissed you a thousand times
Now I may be proud
But I can't help but be
Cause I got this memory
Inside of me
Now I know what's gone
And I know what's not mine
But if I kissed you once
I kissed you a thousand times
And if I kissed you once
I kissed you a thousand times
Yessir if I kissed you once, I kissed you a thousand times. Hehehe. Yessiree, if I kissed you once, a thousand times, hehe

I Give Up
02:55
|
|||
|
I give up, I give up
I tried real hard but now I give up
Now the sweat's run down to my sock
Nothing left but a box in the ground
No one's immune to burglary
When you stole my heart
I was charmed - at first
But then I realized I was dying of thirst
In the desert of love
Like a trooper with super-duper patience
I waited until everything had dried up in my wishing well
And it's been hell, believe me - that
A farmer in the dell, plagued by a bat
And your mysterious smile magnificently re-created
In my mind for quite some time
And I hung on, hoping for a miracle
Or a medal for my emotional - bravery, yes
Just like Davy Crockett at the - Alamo
When that bullet hit him he knew he had to go
So, I give up, I give up
I tried real hard
But now I give up

Yeah, the joke was on me
And I wore it with pride
'Cause you've got a
Funny sense of humor

You were all, my all
All I wanted to do
And every time I try to think
I think of you
Last song for you
Last song for you
I did you wrong
I put you in so many songs
Exploited your beauty
And I bragged a lot
I was proud of what I had
