2) Crying
I was all right for a while
I could smile for a while
But I saw you last night
You held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say, "Hello"
Oh, you wished me well
You couldn't tell
That I'd been crying over you
Crying over you
Then you said, "So long"
Left me standing all alone
Alone and crying, crying
Crying, crying
It's hard to understand
That the touch of your hand
Can start me crying
I thought that I was over you
But it's true, so true
I love you even more
Than I did before
But darling, what can I do?
For you don't love me
And I'll always be
Crying over you
Crying over you
Yes, now you're gone
And from this moment on
I'll be crying, crying
Crying, crying
Yeah, crying, crying
Over you
I could smile for a while
But I saw you last night
You held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say, "Hello"
Oh, you wished me well
You couldn't tell
That I'd been crying over you
Crying over you
Then you said, "So long"
Left me standing all alone
Alone and crying, crying
Crying, crying
It's hard to understand
That the touch of your hand
Can start me crying
I thought that I was over you
But it's true, so true
I love you even more
Than I did before
But darling, what can I do?
For you don't love me
And I'll always be
Crying over you
Crying over you
Yes, now you're gone
And from this moment on
I'll be crying, crying
Crying, crying
Yeah, crying, crying
Over you

4) In Dreams
A candy-colored clown, they call the sandman
Tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper
"Go to sleep, everything is all right"
I close my eyes, then I drift away
Into the magic night, I softly say
A silent prayer like dreamers do
Then I fall asleep to dream my dreams of you
In dreams, I walk with you
In dreams, I talk to you
In dreams, you're mine, all of the time
We're together in dreams, in dreams
But just before the dawn, I awake and find you gone
I can't help it, I can't help it if I cry
I remember that you said goodbye
It's too bad that all these things
Can only happen in my dreams
Only in dreams, in beautiful dreams
In dreams, I walk with you
In dreams, I talk to you
In dreams, you're mine, all of the time
We're together in dreams, in dreams
But just before the dawn, I awake and find you gone
I can't help it, I can't help it if I cry
I remember that you said goodbye
It's too bad that all these things
Can only happen in my dreams
Only in dreams, in beautiful dreams
Tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper
"Go to sleep, everything is all right"
I close my eyes, then I drift away
Into the magic night, I softly say
A silent prayer like dreamers do
Then I fall asleep to dream my dreams of you
In dreams, I walk with you
In dreams, I talk to you
In dreams, you're mine, all of the time
We're together in dreams, in dreams
But just before the dawn, I awake and find you gone
I can't help it, I can't help it if I cry
I remember that you said goodbye
It's too bad that all these things
Can only happen in my dreams
Only in dreams, in beautiful dreams
In dreams, I walk with you
In dreams, I talk to you
In dreams, you're mine, all of the time
We're together in dreams, in dreams
But just before the dawn, I awake and find you gone
I can't help it, I can't help it if I cry
I remember that you said goodbye
It's too bad that all these things
Can only happen in my dreams
Only in dreams, in beautiful dreams
5) It's Over
Your baby doesn't love you anymore
Golden days before they end
Whisper secrets to the wind
Your baby won't be near you anymore
Tender nights before they fly
Send falling stars that seem to cry
Your baby doesn't want you anymore
It's over
It breaks your heart in two, to know she's been untrue
But oh, what will you do?
When she said to you, there's someone new
We're through, we're through, we're through
It's over, it's over, it's over
All the rainbows in the sky
Start to weep and say goodbye
You won't be seeing rainbows anymore
Setting suns before they fall
Echo to you that's all, that's all
But you'll see lonely sunset after all
It's over, it's over, it's over
It's over
Golden days before they end
Whisper secrets to the wind
Your baby won't be near you anymore
Tender nights before they fly
Send falling stars that seem to cry
Your baby doesn't want you anymore
It's over
It breaks your heart in two, to know she's been untrue
But oh, what will you do?
When she said to you, there's someone new
We're through, we're through, we're through
It's over, it's over, it's over
All the rainbows in the sky
Start to weep and say goodbye
You won't be seeing rainbows anymore
Setting suns before they fall
Echo to you that's all, that's all
But you'll see lonely sunset after all
It's over, it's over, it's over
It's over
6) Love Hurts
Love hurts, love scars, love wounds and mars
Any heart not tough or strong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud, holds a lot of rain
Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts
I'm young, I know, but even so
I know a thing or two, I learned from you
I really learned a lot, really learned a lot
Love is like a flame, it burns you when it's hot
Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts
Some fools think of happiness, blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves, I guess
They're not foolin' me
And I know it isn't true, I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie, made to make you blue
Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts
Ooh ooh, love hurts
Any heart not tough or strong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud, holds a lot of rain
Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts
I'm young, I know, but even so
I know a thing or two, I learned from you
I really learned a lot, really learned a lot
Love is like a flame, it burns you when it's hot
Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts
Some fools think of happiness, blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves, I guess
They're not foolin' me
And I know it isn't true, I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie, made to make you blue
Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts
Ooh ooh, love hurts
7) Oh, Pretty Woman
Pretty woman, walkin' down the street
Pretty woman, the kind I like to meet
Pretty woman, I don't believe you, you're not the truth
No one could look as good as you, mercy
Pretty woman, won't you pardon me?
Pretty woman, I couldn't help but see
Pretty woman, oh, you look lovely as can be
Are you lonely just like me?
Pretty woman, stop a while
Pretty woman, talk a while
Pretty woman, give your smile to me
Pretty woman, yeah yeah yeah
Pretty woman, look my way
Pretty woman, say you'll stay with me
'Cause I need you, I'll treat you right
Come with me, baby, be mine tonight
Pretty woman, don't walk on by
Pretty woman, don't make me cry
Pretty woman, don't walk away, hey okay
If that's the way it must be, okay
I guess I'll go on home, it's late
There'll be tomorrow night, but wait
What do I see?
Is she walkin' back to me?
Yeah, she's walkin' back to me
Oh, oh, pretty woman
Pretty woman, the kind I like to meet
Pretty woman, I don't believe you, you're not the truth
No one could look as good as you, mercy
Pretty woman, won't you pardon me?

Pretty woman, oh, you look lovely as can be
Are you lonely just like me?
Pretty woman, stop a while

Yeah, she's walkin' back to me
Oh, oh, pretty woman
8) Only the Lonely
(Only the lonely) Know the way I feel tonight
(Only the lonely) Know this feelin' ain't right
There goes my baby, there goes my heart
They're gone forever, so far apart
But only the lonely know why
I cry, only the lonely
(Only the lonely) Know the heartaches I've been through
(Only the lonely) Know I've been untrue
There goes my baby, there goes my heart
They're gone forever, so far apart
But only the lonely know why
I cry, only the lonely
Only the lonely
Only the lonely
But only the lonely know why
I cry, only the lonely
Only the lonely

They're gone forever, so far apart
But only the lonely know why

(Only the lonely) Know I've been untrue
There goes my baby, there goes my heart
They're gone forever, so far apart

I cry, only the lonely
Only the lonely
Only the lonely
But only the lonely know why
I cry, only the lonely

9) Running Scared
Just runnin' scared, each place we go
So afraid that he might show
Yeah, runnin' scared, what would I do
If he came back and wanted you?
Just runnin' scared, feelin' low
Runnin' scared, you love him so
Just runnin' 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?
Then you turned around and walked away with me
So afraid that he might show
Yeah, runnin' scared, what would I do
If he came back and wanted you?
Just runnin' scared, feelin' low
Runnin' scared, you love him so
Just runnin' 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?
Then you turned around and walked away with me
10) You Got It
Every time I look into your lovely eyes
I see a love that money just can't buy
One look from you, I drift away
I pray that you are here to stay
Anything you want, you got it
Anything you need, you got it
Anything at all, you got it
Baby
Every time I hold you, I begin to understand
Everything about you tells me I'm your man
I live my life to be with you
No one can do the things you do
Anything you want, you got it
Anything you need, you got it
Anything at all, you got it
Baby
I'm glad to give my love to you
I know you feel the way I do
Anything you want, you got it
Anything you need, you got it
Anything at all, you got it
Baby
Anything you want, you got it
Anything you need, you got it
Anything at all
I see a love that money just can't buy
One look from you, I drift away
I pray that you are here to stay
Anything you want, you got it
Anything you need, you got it
Anything at all, you got it
Baby
Every time I hold you, I begin to understand
Everything about you tells me I'm your man
I live my life to be with you
No one can do the things you do
Anything you want, you got it
Anything you need, you got it
Anything at all, you got it
Baby
I'm glad to give my love to you
I know you feel the way I do
Anything you want, you got it
Anything you need, you got it
Anything at all, you got it
Baby
Anything you want, you got it
Anything you need, you got it
Anything at all
