HAVE YOU EVER BEEN LONELY ? (Peter DeRose - George Brown)
_________________________________________________________________
Have you ever been lonely ?
Have you ever been blue ?
Have you ever loved someone
Just as I love you ?
Can't you see I'm sorry
For each mistake I've made ?
Can't you see I've changed dear ?
Can't you see I've paid ?
Be a little forgiving,
Take me back to your heart.
How can I go on living
While we're apart ?
If you knew what I've been through
Then you'd know why I ask you
Have you ever been lonely ?
Have you ever been blue ?
Mother ! ! !

HEARTBEAT (Bob Montgomery - Norman Petty)
_________________________________________________________________
Heartbeat, why do you miss when my baby kisses me ?
Heartbeat, why does a love kiss stay in my memory ?
Riddle-dee-pat, I know that new love thrills me
I know that true love will be-e-e-e-e-e
Heartbeat, why do you miss when my baby kisses me ?
Heartbeat, why do you skip when my baby's lips meet mine ?
Heartbeat, why do you flip, then give me a skip beat sign ?
Riddle-dee-pat, and sing to me love's story
And bring to me love's glory-ee-ee-a-ee
Heartbeat, why do you miss when my baby kisses me ?

I GAMBLED MY HEART (Buddy Holly - Bob Montgomery)
_________________________________________________________________
When you love someone
And then you found you've lost
Why must a true heart be left to pay the cost
Why must a heart that has been true
Be broken and sad, so empty and blue
I gambled my heart and I lost it to you
Now I'll spend my life wondering why I love you
Someday you'll know why I'm so blue
When you've gambled your heart
And you've lost it too
Why must it be the one you want most of all
They'll build you up and then let you fall
They'll lead you on, you'll think that they're true
They'll love you then leave you so empty and blue
I gambled my heart and I lost it to you
Now I'll spend my life wondering why I love you
Someday you'll know why I'm so blue
When you've gambled your heart
And you've lost it too

I GUESS I WAS JUST A FOOL (Buddy Holly)
_________________________________________________________________
I thought that I could forget
Even try to tell myself we never met
Though you try you can't deny
The beating of your heart
Though you try you can't deny
The true love when it starts
I guess that I was just a fool
I guess I'll go on loving you
Even though I know my love will never do
Though you try you can't deny
The beating of your heart
Though you try you can't deny
The true love when it starts
I guess that I was just a fool

I'M CHANGING ALL THOSE CHANGES (Buddy Holly)
_________________________________________________________________
I-I-I should have reconsidered all those things I said I'd do
So now I'm changing all those changes
That I made when I left you
Sweetheart I'm changing all those changes
That I made when I left you
Because I made those changes when I thought you were untrue
A-but now you're gone I've found I'm wrong
And there's a-nothing I can do
Except to change up all those changes
That I made when I left you
I-I-I didn't stop to thi-ink, I just left without a care
And now I know I'm wrong and I can't find you anywhere
I should have reconsidered all those things I said I'd do
So now I'm changing all those changes
That I made when I left you

I'M GONNA SET MY FOOT DOWN (Buddy Holly)
_________________________________________________________________
We-ell, you say you're mine, but baby you don't show it
You better fly right, for before you know it
I'm a-going to set my foot right down on you
I wanna stop your struttin', baby, 'til you say you're through
I'm gonna turn you around and put you upside down
If that don't stop your runnin' around
I'm a-going to set my foot right down on you
I wanna stop your struttin', baby, 'til you say you're through
A-well, you tell me this a-and you tell me that
How come your dog bites me instead of that other cat
I'm a-gonna set my foot right down on you
Gonna stop your struttin', baby, 'til you say you're through
Well, you say you're mine, but baby you don't show it
You better fly right, 'cause before you know it
I'm a-going to set my foot right down on you
I wanna stop your struttin', baby 'til you say you're through
I wanna turn you around and put you upside down
If that don't stop your slippin' around
I'm a-going to set my foot right down on you
I wanna stop your struttin', baby, 'til you say you're through
A-well, you tell me this and then you tell me that
How come your dog bites me instead of that other cat
I'm a-gonna set my foot right down on you
I wanna stop your struttin',
baby 'til you say you're through

I'M LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO LOVE (Buddy Holly - Norman Petty)
_________________________________________________________________
Stayin' at home, waitin' for you
Just won't get it 'cause you say we're thru
Well I'm lookin' for someone to love
I'm lookin' for someone to love
Well if you're not here
But baby, I don't care
Because I'm lookin' for someone to love
Playin' the field all day long
Since I found out I was wronged
Well I'm lookin' for someone to love
I'm lookin' for someone to love
Well if you're not here
But baby I don't care
'Cause I'm lookin' for someone to love
Caught myself, thinkin' of you
You can't love me and an other one too
Well I'm lookin' for someone to love
I'm lookin' for someone to love
Well if you're not here
But baby I don't care
Because I'm lookin' for someone to love
Drunk man, street car
Foot slipped, there you are
Well I'm lookin' for someone to love
I'm a-lookin' for someone to love
Well if you're not here
But baby I don't care
Because I'm a-lookin' for someone to love
I'm lookin' for someone to love
I'm lookin' for someone to love
I'm lookin' for someone to love
I'm lookin' for someone to love

IT DOESN'T MATTER ANYMORE (Paul Anka)
_________________________________________________________________
There you go and baby here am I
Well you left me here so I could sit and cry
Golly gee what have you done to me
Well I guess it doesn't matter anymore
Do you remember baby last September
How you held me tight each and every night
Oh baby how you drove me crazy
But I guess it doesn't matter any more
There's no use in me a-cryin'
I've done everything and now I'm sick of trying
I've thrown away my nights, wasted all my days over you
Now you go your way baby and I'll go mine
Now and forever 'till the end of time
And I'll find somebody new and baby
We'll say we're through and you won't matter any more
There's no use in me a-cryin'
I've done everything and now I'm sick of trying
I've thrown away my nights, wasted all my days over you
Now you go your way baby and I'll go mine
Now and forever 'till the end of time
And I'll find somebody new and baby
We'll say we're through and you won't matter any more

IT'S NOT MY FAULT (Ben Hall - Weldon Myrick)
_________________________________________________________________
It's not my fault
If you're not falling in love with me
It's not my fault
If our future love you can't see
I should have known I could never win your hand
I know I can't hold your heart with just a wedding band
I'm just a fool in your broken chain of hearts
Each one is falling now and I can't hold the parts
I guess you want one of those on to be free
It's not my fault
If you're not falling in love with me

IT'S SO EASY (Buddy Holly - Norman Petty)
_________________________________________________________________
It's so easy to fall in love
It's so easy to fall in love
People tell me love's for fools
So here I go breaking all of the rules
It seems so easy
(O-o-oh) So doggone easy
(Mm—mm-mm) It seems so easy
Where you're concerned
My heart has learned
It's so easy to fall in love
It's so easy to fall in love
It's so easy to fall in love
It's so easy to fall in love
Look into your heart and see
What your love book has set apart for me
It seems so easy
(O-o-oh) So doggone easy
(Mm—mm-mm) It seems so easy
Where you're concerned
My heart has learned
It's so easy to fall in love
It's so easy to fall in love
We-ell it's so easy
(Mm—mm-mm) So doggone easy
(Mm—mm-mm) It seems so easy
Well, where you're concerned
My heart has learned
It's so easy to fall in love
It's so easy to fall in love

IT'S TOO LATE (Chuck Willis)
_________________________________________________________________
It's too late, she's gone
It's too late, my baby's gone
Wish I had told her she was my only one
But it's too late, she's gone
It's a weak man that cries
So I guess I best dry my eyes
Guess I will miss her more than anyone
But it's too late, she's gone
She's gone, yeah she's gone
She's gone, my baby's gone
She's gone, yeah she's gone
Where can my baby be?
I wonder does she know
When she left me it hurt me so
I need your lovin' please don't make me weep
And tell me it's not too late
I need your lovin' please don't make me weep
And tell me it's not too late
