DON'T COME BACK KNOCKING

(Buddy Holly - Sue Parrish)

Well, I found you're a rover and it's made me blue

Like a talent scout you want some love that's new

Don't come back knocking at my heart's closed door

For I won't be home, don't call an' knock no more

Well, when you went away and left me all alone

While you played around I waited at home

Don't come back knocking at my heart's closed door

For I won't be home, don't call an' knock no more

You had all my heart, it was your very own

You weren't satisfied, now I'll go on alone

Don't come back knocking at my heart's closed door

For I won't be home, don't call an' knock no more

(Oh, let's really knock it this time boys!)

Well, pity those with hearts so empty and cold

To never know true love, a treasure to hold

Don't come back knocking at my heart's closed door

For I won't be home, don't call an' knock no more

DOOR TO MY HEART

(Bob Montgomery)

I'll open the door and let you find me

The door to my heart, your love behind me

But you were not willing to just step insi-i-ide

Now the door to my heart i-is still open wide

I hoped you would enter and stay there with me

When I opened the door to let your love come in

Now you've shunned my ho-o-ope, my love and my pri-i-ide

But the door to my heart i-is still open wide

Now you've shunned my ho-o-ope, my love and my pri-i-ide

But the door to my heart i-is still open wide

DOWN THE LINE

(Buddy Holly - Bob Montgomery)

Well, my ol' car's a-rollin' down the line

Thoughts of my baby runnin' through my mind

She's a-waitin' for me, I gotta be on time

I gotta go, go, go, go, go, go, go

Well, the white marker's flying off the road below

Man, I'm a-really flyin' low

My baby's waitin', I can't go slow

I gotta go, go, go, go, go, go, go

Well, a big policeman pulled alongside a-me

He said, "Boy you ain't quite as fast as me!"

I showed him a picture of that baby of mine

He said, "Boy you gotta roll on down that line !"

Well, my ol' car's a-rollin' down the line

Thoughts of my baby runnin' through my mind

She's a-waitin' for me, I gotta be on time

I gotta go, go, go, go, go, go, go

Repeat from the beginning

Roll on down the line

DROWN IN MY OWN TEARS

(Ray Charles)

Wet rains the tear into my eyes

when I began to realize

I cried so much since you been gone

I guess I'll drown in my own tears

I've really cried just like a child

My poor little tears are running wild

If you don't think you'll be home soon

I guess I'll drown, oh-yeah, in my own tears

I know it's true, into each life

Well, some rain, rain must fall

Clouds over here without you

It keeps a-rainin' more and more

Why can't you come on home

oh-yes, so I won't be all alone

If you don't think, you'll be home soon

I guess I'll drown in my own tears

Oh don't let me drown in my own tears

EARLY IN THE MORNING

(Bobby Darin - Woody Harris)

Well! you're gonna miss me

Early in the morning, one of these days, oh yeah

Well, you're gonna want me

Early in the morning

When I'm away... hey!, hey!, don't ya know

Yes, you'll be sorry for the times I cried

You'll be sorry for the times you lied

Well, you're gonna miss me

Early in the morning, one of these days, oh yeah

Well, you know a rolling stone (rolling stone)

Don't gather no moss (gather no moss)

And you cross your bridge (cross your bridge)

When it's time to cross (time to cross)

Well, you broke my heart (broke my heart)

When you said goodbye (said goodbye)

Now the milk is spilt but, you're gonna cry!

Yeah, early in the morning

You're gonna know, that I was right

Oh, yeah!, yeah!, early in the morning

When there's nobody

To hold you tight... oh, oh, oh!!

Well, you're gonna want me want me bad

You're gonna miss the best man you ever had

Yes, you're gonna miss me

Early in the morning, one of these days, oh yeah

You'll miss the best man you ever had

Yes, you're gonna want me

You're gonna miss me a-one of these days, yeah yeah yeah

EVERYDAY

(Charles Hardin - Norman Petty)

Everyday it's a-gettin' closer

Goin' faster than a rollercoaster

Love like yours will surely come my way

A-hey, a-hey-hey

Everyday it's a-gettin' faster

Everyone said, "Go ahead and ask her"

Love like yours will surely come my way

A-hey, a-hey-hey

Everyday seems a little longer

Every way love's a little stronger

Come what may

Do you ever long for true love from me

Everyday it's a-gettin' closer

Goin' faster than a rollercoaster

Love like yours will surely come my way

A-hey, a-hey-hey

Everyday seems a little longer

Every way love's a little stronger

Come what may

Do you ever long for true love from me

Everyday it's a-gettin' closer

Goin' faster than a rollercoaster

Love like yours will surely come my way

A-hey, a-hey-hey

Love like yours will surely come my way

FLOWER OF MY HEART

(Bob Montgomery - Don Guess)

Do you think of me darlin'

While we're many miles apart

Oh please be true to me my darlin'

For you are the flower of my heart

Many nights I've sat alone

And I've worried over you

But I'll never worry dear

If your love is true

Please come back to me my darlin'

For I can't live while we're apart

Come back, come back to me my darlin'

For you are the flower of my heart

Many nights I've sat alone

And I've worried over you

But I'll never worry dear

If your love is true

Please come back to me my darlin'

For I can't live while we're apart

Come back, come back to me my darlin'

For you are the flower of my heart

FOOL'S PARADISE

(Sonny Le Glaire - Horace Linsley - Norman Petty)

You took me up to heaven

When you took me in your arms

I was dazzled by your kisses

Blinded by your charms

I was lost in a fool's paradise

Good and lost in a fool's paradise

When you told me that you loved me

I gave my heart to you

And I wondered if there could be

Any truth in love so new

I was lost in a fool's paradise

Good and lost in a fool's paradise

The whole world was my kingdom

And your love the gem in my crown

Then I saw you glance at a new romance

And my love came tumbling down

Though you treat me kind-a coolish

And may never let me know

That you think I'm being foolish

Because I love you so

I'll still get lost in a fool's paradise

Lost with you in a fool's paradise

Though you treat me kind-a coolish

And may never let me know

That you think I'm being foo-oo-oo-lish

Because I love you so

I'll still get lost in a fool's paradise

Lost with you in a fool's paradise

GIRL ON MY MIND

(Don Guess)

Oh, girl on my mind

Please come back to me

I love you with all my heart

With you I want to be

I want you to be near me

Is that too much to ask?

Oh, girl on my mind

Please say you will be mine

You are the one and the only

You are mine to have and to love

No one could ask for more

You're mine to adore

Girl on my mind

Please say you will be mine

You are the one and the only

You are mine to have and to love

No one could ask for more

You're mine to adore

Girl on my mind

Please say you will be mine

GONE

(Smokey Rogers)

Now you're gone

The sun, the moon, the stars in the sky

Know the reason why-y I cry

I'm all alone, I know I'm wrong, now you're gone

Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh what I'd give

For the lifetime I've wasted

The love that I've tasted

I know I'm wrong, I'm all alone now you're gone
