Neil Diamond Album

Melinda was mine
'Til the time
That I found her
Holding Jim
And lovin' Him

Then Sue came along
Loved me strong
That's what I thought
Well me and Sue
That died, too

Don't know that I will
But until I can find me
A girl who'll stay
And won't play games behind me
I'll be what I am
A solitary man
Solitary man

I've had it to here
Bein' where
Love's a small word
Part-time thing
Paper ring

I know it's been done
Havin' one
Girl who loves you
Right or wrong
Weak or strong

Don't know that I will
But until I can find me
A girl who'll stay
And won't play games behind me
I'll be what I am
A solitary man
Solitary man

Don't know that I will
But until I can find me
A girl who'll stay
And won't play games behind me
I'll be what I am
A solitary man
Solitary man
Solitary man

I should have known
You'd bid me farewell
There's a lesson
To be learned from this
And I learned it very well
And now I know
You're not the only starfish in the sea
If I never hear your name again,
It's all the same to me

And I think it's gonna be all right
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shinin'
Like a red rubber ball

You never cared for secrets I'd confide
For you I'm just an ornament
Somethin' for your pride
Always runnin', never carin'
That's the life you live
Stolen minutes of your time
LyricsWere all you had to give

And I think it's gonna be all right
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shinin'
Like a red rubber ball

The story's in the past
With nothin' to recall
I've got my life to live
And I don't need you at all
The roller coaster ride we took
Is nearly at an end
I bought my ticket with my tears
And that's all I'm gonna spend

And I think it's gonna be all right
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shinin'
Like a red rubber ball
Whoa, oh,
Oh I think it's gonna be all right
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shinin'
Like a red rubber ball

Para bailar la bamba
Para bailar la bamba se necesita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia y otra cosita
Y arriba y arriba
Y arriba y arriba y arriba ire

Por ti sere, por ti sere
Yo no soy marinero
Yo no soy marinero, soy capitan,
Soy capitan, soy capitan

La Bamba, la bamba, la bamba, la bamba

Para bailar la bamba
Para bailar la bamba se necesita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia pa mi pa ti
Ay y arriba y arriba
Y arriba y arriba y arriba ire por ti sere,
Por ti sere, por ti sere
Yo no soy marinero
Yo no soy marinero, soy capitan,
LyricsSoy capitan, soy capitan.

La Bamba, la bamba, la bamba, la bamba

Para bailar la bamba
Para bailar la bamba se necesita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia pa mi pa ti
Ay y arriba y arriba
Y arriba y arriba y arriba ire por ti sere,
Por ti sere, por ti sere
Yo no soy marinero
Yo no soy marinero, soy capitan,
Soy capitan, soy capitan.
La Bamba, la bamba, la bamba, la bamba

Do it, while your soul's still burnin'
Don't hide the yearnin' away
Say what you want to say
'Cause if you let her go,
You'll always know you blew it
Go to it and do it
Yeah,
Do it, yeah

Tell her, just how much you love her
And that no other
Could do what she does to you
'Cause if you take your time
You're gonna find you blew it
Go thru it and do it
Yeah, do it,
Yeah, do it

[Instrumental]

'Cause if you take your time,
You're gonna find you blew it
Go thru it and do it
Yeah, do it.
Do it, go and do it

Lyrics(Oh I don't believe it)

I saw her walking on down the line
You know I saw her for the very first time
A pretty little girl standing all alone
Hey, pretty baby, can I take you home
I never saw her, never ever saw her

(Oh here we go again)

My baby does the hanky panky
My baby does the hanky panky

A pretty little girl standing all alone
Hey, pretty baby, can I take you home
I never saw her, never ever saw her

Monday, Monday
So good to me
Monday morning,
It was all I hoped it would be
Oh, Monday morning
Monday morning couldn't guarantee
That Monday evening
You would still be here with me

Monday, Monday
Can't trust that day
Monday, Monday
Sometimes it just turns out that way
Oh, Monday morning
You gave me no warning
Of what was to be
Oh, Monday, Monday
How could you leave and not take me

Every other day
Every other day,
LyricsEvery other day of the week is fine, yeah
But whenever Monday comes
But whenever Monday comes
You can find me crying all of the time

Monday, Monday
So good to me
Monday morning
It was all I hoped it would be
Oh, Monday morning
Monday morning couldn't guarantee
That Monday evening
You would still be here with me

Every other day
Every other day
Every other day of the week is fine, yeah
But whenever Monday comes
But whenever Monday comes
You can find me crying all of the time
Monday, Monday
Can't trust that day
Monday, Monday
Turns out that way
Monday, Monday

I said, Hey Hey Hey, Hey Ya
I said, Hey, Hey Ya Ya

Well come on everybody
Make a trip with me
Down from Mississippi
Down to New Orleans
They got the honeysuckle
Blooming on a honeysuckle vine
Love is bloomin' there all the time
Down from Mississippi
Down to New Orleans

You know that any Southern Belle
Is a Mississippi Queen

Hey Hey Hey Hey Ya
Hey Hey Ya Ya

Well come on everybody
Take a stroll with me
LyricsWe gonna listen to the music
With a Dixieland beat.
They got the magnolia blossoms fill the air.
If you ain't been to heaven
You ain't been here
Now all the French moss hangin'
From a big oak tree.
Down from Mississippi
Down to New Orleans.

Hey Hey Hey Hey Ya
Hey Hey Ya Ya

Well let's go everybody
Take a trip with me.
Down from Mississippi
Down to New Orleans.
They got the honeysuckle
Blooming on a honeysuckle vine.
They got love bloomin' there all the time.
You know that any Southern Belle
Is a Mississippi Queen.
Down from Mississippi
Down to New Orleans.

Well ,come on,
You got it
We gonna dance, going to New Orleans.
That's the place
I said, come on
Come on, come on, come on

Someday, baby
It's gonna be alright
Someday, maybe, but baby, not tonight
There's a gleam in your eyes
That's for some other guy not for me now
He'll be kissing the lips
That I just get to kiss in my dreams now

But someday baby, yeah (uh huh)
Someday love
Someday, baby
It's gonna be just me
One day baby, well, you just wait and see
Girl, you'll open your eyes
And then you'll realize what I'm sayin'
I've got lovin' to give for as long as I live
He's just playin'

But someday baby, yeah (mmmmm)
Someday love
Someday baby, someday love
Someday baby
Someday love

Oh no, no, no, no
Baby, something's wrong
Oh no, no, no, no
That old time fire is gone
It's not so much the things you say, love
It's what you don't say I'm afraid of.....

I got the feelin' I'm hearin' goodbye
Don't have to say it
It's there in your eyes
Oh why, oh my

Oh no, no, no, no
You don't smile the same
Oh no, no, no, no
Like you been hidin' pain
I love you so much, I could taste it
But girl, your eyes tell me it's wasted

I got the feelin' I'm hearin' goodbye
Don't have to say it
LyricsIt's there in your eyes
Oh why, oh my
Oh no, oh no no

Oh no, baby I got the feelin'
I'm hearin' goodbye
I got the feelin' that I'm gonna die,girl
I got the feelin'
Oh yes I do girl
I got the feelin'
That I'm losin' you

Matter of fact, you're on the right track
My future looks bright and blue.....
Didn't take long to see I was wrong
That I still got it strong for you

I'll come running, yeah
If you want me to
I'll come running, yeah
'Cause I'm done in, yeah, without you

I'd give my last shirt
To take back the words
That brought all that hurt upon her
Both made mistakes
Had some bad breaks
But we've got what it takes to go on

I'll come running, yeah
If you want me to
I'll come running, yeah
'Cause I'm done in, yeah, without you

I'll come running, yeah
If you want me to
I'll come running, yeah
'Cause I'm done in, yeah, without you

Love's a thing that needs wants to thrive on
Then it grows
At least that's what I've been told
You can't love someone
If you find that all you get in return
Is a heart that's cold

They say you need love to love
You gotta have love to love
They all say it works that way
But if it's true
Why do I love you

Seems like you keep tryin' to break me
You do things designed just to make me cry
And I've heard if warm lips don't touch you
Love won't grow no matter
How much you try

They say you need love to love
You gotta have love to love
LyricsThey all say it works that way
But if it's true
Why do I love you

They say you need love to love
You gotta have love to love
They all say it works that way
But if it's true
Why do I love you

Why do I love you
Like I do

Baby loves me yes, yes she does
Oh, the girls out of sight, yeah
Says she loves me yes, yes she does
Oh, gonna show me tonight, yeah

Chorus:
Hey, she got the way to move me Cherry
(She got the way to groove me)
(She got the way to move me)
Cherry baby

Alright

Tell your Mama girl I can't stay long
We got things we gotta catch up on
Mmm, I know you know what I'm sayin
Can't stand still while the music is playin

Alright

Ain't got no right no, no you don't
Ahh, to be so exciting
Won't need bright lights no, no we won't
Oh, gonna make our own lighting

Chorus:
Hey, she got the way to move me Cherry
(She got the way to groove me) Cherry baby
(She got the way to move me) Alright
(She got the way to groove me)

No, won't tell a soul where we gone to
Girl we do whatever we want to
Ahh, I love the way that you do me
Cherry baby you really get to me

Repeat chorus to fade....
