Pretty woman, walking 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 see
Pretty woman
That you look lovely as can be
Are you lonely just like me
Wow

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 walking back to me
Yeah, she's walking back to me
Oh, oh, Pretty woman

Hello, may I have this dance with you?

How have you been, girl?
Hold me, and then girl
just let me look at you.
Tell me, now, is it true?

Oh, did you break up?
No chance to make up.
I hate to take up all your time,
but tell me.

Oh, no it won't be repeated.
You mean to tell me he cheated?
Oh, what a fool he's been
Though he is, my best friend

I hate it this way,
But I've waited for this day.
I've always wanted
You to be my girl.

Be my girl, you're my girl.
I still don't believe it
he played around on you.
When all the time he knew
I loved you too

With your big eyes,full lips,
High cheek bones,
And ev'rything about you, girl.
Personality girl,
Gimme a chance, come on,
Let's dance,some
Dance the night awa--y;

You're my girl.you're my girl, you're my girl.
Baby doll, baby, baby, hold me tight.
Be mine tonight, say it's alright.
And I will never, ever let you go, oh...
Be my girl, be my girl,
you're my girl.you're mine,
you're my girl.

My Lovely woman child
I found you out running wild with someone new
You've been untrue, And everybody knows we're through

But I can't say goodbye to you, No matter what you do
My heart won't let you go, Although I know you go
With someone new, I think of you

I think of how you kiss, Your tenderness
With all of this, I miss the way you say goodnight

Bittersweet, your kisses, When my heart still misses
The way that things used to be, But I know you're strong for
Other arms you long for, And you can never come back to me

Not just for yesterday, tonight or tomorrow
Ah, but forever
I'll hear you say goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight turned out to be a lie
And I can't help it if I cry
Goodnight my love, Sleep tight my love
Goodnight

. . .


When shadows fall, the day is done
The mountain tops hide the setting sun
The magic of the night is here, for all young lovers far and near

Nite life, ooh la la la, stars coming out to play
Nite life, rah rah rah rah
See how they light the milky way
At the end of day, mmm nite life

Nite life, aye aye aye aye look at the moon above
Nite life, ma ma ma ma, it's time to fall in love
Yeah, so come on, mmm nite life

Nite life, no need to be blue
The moon and the stars are belong to you
Nite life is so much fun when you're in love, and love is young

Nite life tra la la la, laughing and painting the town
Nite life, ha ha ha ha, it's just a merry go round
When the sun goes down, mmm nite life

. . .

I get so ooh sentimental
Darling when it comes to you,
I'm just too ooh sentimental
And its breaking my heart in two.

I said a-hey,hey now
at the end of the day now,
I get carried away now
thinking of you,ooh

How you looked that night,
you kissed goodbye just right,
then turned away
and I miss you night and day.

Hey,a-hey, hey now,


at the end of the day now,
I get carried away now,
thinking of you, ooh

who holds you tight?,
I wonder where you are,
are you alright
for you know, I still love you,

But I'm just so sentimental,
Baby because of you,
Yes I'm just too sentimental
and it's,breaking my heart in two...

. . .


I'm a poor peasant boy, I'm a dirt farmer's son
And I feel like a king when I know that my work is all done.
For at twilight I know, there's a place I must go
To sing my song of love for one who waits all alone.
Yo te amo Maria, Maria amor, yo te amo Maria, Maria mi amor.

Oh the beautiful sights, of the great city lights
Where most people must run to try to have fun, not for me.
For this woman of mine, is much sweeter than wine
And I spend all the time I can find with my Marie.
Yo te amo Maria, Maria amor, yo te amo Maria, Maria mi amor.

Oh the joy of my life, will one day be my wife
And we'll spend all our days watching the world roll on by.
When her time comes to fly, to that home in the sky
I pray the angels above will love her as much as I.
Yo te amo Maria, Maria amor, yo te amo Maria, Maria mi amor.

. . .


Written by Orbison/Melson.

Wonder how long it will take.
For this heart of mine to break
There's I watch you walk away.
This was to be our wedding day.
I won't hear the choir sing.
While I hold your golden ring.
Might as well throw it away.
With my dreams of wedding day.
Oh,Oh,Oh,Oh.Oh,Oh,Oh,Oh.

Oh to hold you in my arms again.
I watched my whole world fade away.
On this our wedding day.
Who was right and who was wrong,
Makes no difference when you're all alone.
As I watch you walk away.
Goodbye darling, goodbye wedding day.

. . .


There's a place I call Sleepy Hollow
Where I go when you're not around
There's a brook running clear in the meadow
I lose my blues in it's sound

The wind and the trees from the hollow
Whisper secrets of life in my ear
When I lay down in their shadows
I dream that you're still here

The bubbling babbling brook is your laughter
The wind blowing softly,your touch
I've found the one thing I'm after
Your love, your love means so much

Until you say that you love me
And make all my dreams come true
I'll go down to my Sleepy Hollow
And dream my dreams of you
I'll go down to my Sleepy Hollow
And dream my dreams of you

. . .


(Pitney)

Oh it's been 22 lonely blue days without a word from you
and 44 million more tears I've cried since you walked through that door
The sun never reaches my doorstep each empty day seems to be the same
You've broken your vow but I still love you now, oh this love of mine is a one way losing game

And it's been 22 lonely blue days without a word from you
and 44 million more tears I've cried since you walked through that door
The dreams that we share are gone forever but I still have a little hope in my heart
Is this the way it ends? Are we to be both friends? Oh I can't go on if we're to be apart

And it's been 22 lonely blue dayswithout a word from you
and 44 million more tears I've cried since you walked through that door

yeah 22 days since you walked through that door
ah 22 days since you walked through that door
yeah 22 days since you walked through that door
mmmm 22 days since you walked through that door

. . .


If heartaches brought fame
In loves crazy game
I'd be a legend in my time

If they gave gold statuettes
For tears and regrets
I'd be a legend in my time

But they don't give awards
And there's no praise or fame
For a heart that's been broken


over love that's in vain

If lonliness meant world acclaim
Everyone would know my name
I'd be a legend in my time

If lonliness meant world acclaim
Everyone would know my name
I'd be a legend in my time
