I met you once, I loved you twice
That's the way this tale begins
I played my hand, I rolled the dice
Now I'm paying for my sins
I got some bad addiction baby
It's you yeah yeah that's right
And I feel you taking over me
Could luck be a lady in here tonight

[Chorus]
My odds are stacked
I've never been a gambling man
I've never had the winning hand
But for you I'd lose it all
My odds are stacked
I've never been a gambling man
I've never had the winning hand
But for you I'd lose it all
(Baby I'd lose it all)

Baby
Oh could you be the queen of hearts
Or the devil in disguise
With every move
I'm blinded by those diamonds in her eyes
I got some bad addiction baby
It's you yeah yeah that's right
And I feel you taking over me
Could luck be a lady in here tonight

[Chorus]
My odds are stacked
I've never been a gambling man
I've never had the winning hand
But for you I'd lose it all
My odds are stacked
I've never been a gambling man
I've never had the winning hand
But for you I'd lose it all

I'm raptured in your sweet lovin'
But it feels just like a curse
(It feels just like a curse)
You're beneath my skin I start tremblin'
With this love so dangerous
Place your bets I want you place your bets
Why don't you just place your bets on me?

[Chorus x2]
My odds are stacked
I've never been a gambling man
I've never had the winning hand
But for you I'd lose it all
My odds are stacked
I've never been a gambling man
I've never had the winning hand
But for you I'd lose it all

Yeah yeah yeah
But for you I would lose it all

Come back my love, don't go away

You said goodbye, I wonder why,
All because of those silly lies

So come back my love, don't go away.

Well I want you to know

I need your love so badly

Oh oh oh oh ooh
You stole my heart with your sweet loving eyes
It didn't take me long to realize
And then I knew you were the girl right for me
I only wish that I could make you see
I was your Romeo and you my Juliet
I was the one that you said you'd not forget

Look at the state I'm in, Carolyn
You're the one that I'm missing
You're with him, my Carolyn
When it's me you should be kissing
Oh Carolyn, do-do do-do do-waaa

Now I see you with him and it hurts deep inside
You've got me drowning now in the tears I've cried
I know I'm the one it's a matter of time
And girl I'll wait for you, I'm gonna make you mine
I was your brighter day and you my starry night
Come back to me girl, we can make it right

Look at the state I'm in, Carolyn
You're the one that I'm missing
You're with him, my Carolyn
When it's me you should be kissing
Oh Carolyn, do-do do-do do-waaa

I thought that everything you said was true
I was a fool 'cause I believed in you
But now I know that you lied,
You lied, you lied, you lied, you lied

So can't you see the state I'm in, Carolyn
You're the one that I'm missing
(The one that I'm missing)
You're with him, my Carolyn
When it's me you should be kissing

Look at the state I'm in (state I'm in), Carolyn (Carolyn)
You're the one that I'm missing
(The one that I'm missing)
You're with him, my Carolyn (oh baby)
When it's me you should be kissing
Oh Carolyn

(Aaaa-aaaaa) Do-do do-do do-waaa (Oh baby)
Do-do do-do do-waaa (Baby yeah)
Do-do do-do do-waaa (I miss you yeah)
Do-do do-do do-waaa (My Carolyn)

Dum dum dum
Oh oh oh oh (the longest) for the longest time
Oh oh oh (the longest) for the longest time

If you say goodbye to me tonight
There would still be music left to write
What else could I do?
I'm so inspired by you
That hasn't happened for the longest time

Once I thought my innocence was gone
Now I know that happiness goes on
That's where you found me and
When you put your arms around me
I haven't been there for the longest time

Oh oh oh oh (the longest) for the longest time
Oh oh oh (the longest) for the longest time

And that voice you're hearing in my heart
Ain't the greediest miracle of all
It's how I need you
And how you needed me too
That hasn't happened for the longest time

Maybe this won't last very long
But you feel so right
And I could be wrong
Maybe I've been hoping too hard
But I've come this far
And it's more than I hoped for

Who knows how much further will go on?
Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone
I'll take my chances
I forgot how nice romance is
I haven't been there for the longest time

I had second thoughts all this time
I said to myself hold on to your heart
Now I know the woman that you are
You're wonderful so far
And it's more than I hoped for

I don't care what consequence it brings
I have been a fool for lesser things
I want you so bad
I think you ought to know that
I intend to hold you for the longest time

Oh oh oh oh (the longest) for the longest time
Oh oh oh (the longest) for the longest time
Oh oh oh (the longest) for the longest time
Oh oh oh the longest, for the longest time

Ba dom, Ol' fashioned love
(Dom, ba dom) Ol' fashioned love,
(Ba dom dom dom) Ol' fashioned love,
(Ba dom) Ol' fashioned love.

You caught my eye the moment you were dancing to my favourite song.
I know it's kinda crazy I've been staring at you all night long.
Come over here a minute, I wanna know you secret, so would you
start talking to me?
I wanna get to know you, so baby I can show you how it's supposed to be.

I wanna be your lover, give you that good ol' fashioned love
No other, will ever come between us.
I'll hold you tight and I'll do you right
And I'll love you like no one can.

I see you looking over, and I'm feeling I've been nothing to you
I get a little closer 'cause I think I should be making a move.
I'm standing right beside you but you don't seem to notice,
No you just don't have a clue.
'Cause if I was your man, I'd treat you like no other can,
What do I have to do.

To be your lover, give you that good ol' fashioned love
No other, will ever come between us.
I'll hold you tight and I'll do you right
And I'll love you like no one can.
Like no one can (Ohhh)

Like no one can.

Oh, let me tell you straight from the heart
I will be the one to love you right,
So let's begin tonight.

No other, will ever come between us.
I'll hold you tight and I'll do you right
And I'll love you like no one can.

I'll hold you tight and I'll do you right
And I'll love you like no one can.

Ohhh, yeaaa yee, some good ol' fashioned love
Good ol' fashioned love.

Blue blue blue
Blue moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Blue blue moon
You knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for

And then suddenly appeared before day
The only one my arms could ever hold
I heard somebody whispered "Please adore me"
And when I looked
The moon had turned to gold

Blue moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

And then suddenly appeared before day
The only one my arms could ever hold
I heard somebody whispered "Please adore me"
And when I looked
The moon had turned to gold

Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Without a love of my own

Have I told you lately that I love you?
(Love you, love you)
Could I tell you once again somehow?
Have I told with all my heart and soul (soul)
Now I adore you? (adore you)
Well darling (darling), I'm telling you now
(Telling you now)

Have I told you lately that when I'm sleeping
Every dream that I dream is you somehow?
Have I told you why nights are long when you
Are not with me?
Well darling, I'm telling you now
(Telling you now)

My heart would break in two if I should lose you
I'm no good without you anyhow
And have I told you lately that I love you?
Well my darling (darling), I'm telling you now
(Telling you now)

My heart would break in two if I should lose you
I'm no good without you anyhow
And have I told you lately that I love you?
Well my darling, I'm telling you now
(Telling you now)
Well my darling, I'm telling you now
(Telling you now)

Have I told you lately that I love you?
Could I tell you once again somehow?
Have I told with all my heart and soul?
Well darling, I'm telling you now

Have I told you lately that I love you?
Well my darling, I'm telling you now

So have I told you lately that I love you?
Well darling, I'm telling you now

Have I told you lately that I love you, baby?
Yes, I do

In the still of the night
I held you, held you tight
'Cause I love, love you so
Promise I'll never let you go
In the still of the night

I remember that night in May
The stars were bright above
I hope and I pray to keep
Your precious love

Well before the light
Hold me again
With all of your might
In the still of the night

So before the light
Hold me again
With all of your might
In the still of the night

In the still...of...the night

Don't make me over
Now that I'd do anything for you
Don't make me over
Now that you know how I adore you
Don't pick on the things I say
The things I do
Just love me with all my faults
The way that I love you,
I'm begging you

Don't make me over
Now that I can't make it without you
Don't make me over
I wouldn't change one thing about you

Just take me inside your arms
And hold me tight
And always be by my side
If I am wrong or right
I'm begging you

Don't make me over
Don't make me over
Now that you got me at your command

Accept me for what I am
Accept me for the things that I do
Accept me for what I am
Accept me for the things that I do

Now that I can't make it without you
I wouldn't change one thing about you

Just take me inside your arms
And hold me tight
And always be by my side
If I am wrong or right
I'm begging you

Don't make me over
Don't make me over
Now that you got me at your command

Accept me for what I am
Accept me for the things that I do
Accept me for what I am
Accept me for the things that I do

Goodnight, sweetheart, well it's time to go,
Goodnight, sweetheart, well it's time to go,
I hate to leave you, but I really must say,
Goodnight, sweetheart, goodnight.

Goodnight, sweetheart, well it's time to go,
Goodnight, sweetheart, well it's time to go,
I hate to leave you, but I really must say,
Goodnight, sweetheart, goodnight.

Well, it's three o'clock in the morning,
And baby, I just can't do right,
Well, I hate to leave you, baby,
I don't mean maybe, because I love you so.

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do

Goodnight, sweetheart, well it's time to go,

Goodnight, sweetheart, well it's time to go,

Goodnight, sweetheart, goodnight.

Well your mother and your father,
They won't like it if we stay up too late
Well, I hate to leave you, baby,
I don't mean maybe, you know I hate to go.

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do

Goodnight, sweetheart, well it's time to go,
(Do-do-do-do-do)
Goodnight, sweetheart, well it's time to go,
(Ba-do ba-do)
I hate to leave you, but I really must say,
Goodnight, sweetheart, goodnight.

Why do fools fall in love?
Why do birds sing so gay?
And lovers await the break of day
Why do they fall in love?

Why does the rain fall from up above?
Why do fools fall in love?
Why do they fall in love?

Love is a losing game
Love can be a shame
I know a fool you see, for that fool is me
Tell me why, oh why, tell me why
Why do they fall in love?

Why do fools fall in love?

Why do birds sing so gay?
And lovers await the break of day
Why do they fall in love?

Why does the rain fall from up above?
Why do fools fall in love?
Why do they fall in love?

Why does my heart skip a crazy beat?
For I know, it will reach defeat
Tell me why, oh why, tell me why
Why do they fall in love?

Why do fools fall in love?
