The Trouble Is
Written at age 16 circa 1961
Right at first when I went with you
I tried to break your heart in two
But now I just don't know what to do
Now I've fallen in love with you
The trouble is... Your kisses are oh so sweet
The trouble is... My heart skips each time we meet
The trouble is... I just don't know what to do
Now I've fallen in love with you.
Now I've fallen in love with you.
Each time I look into your eyes
I nearly leap into the skies
I just can't think clearly - can't you see?
Now I know you're the girl for me.
The trouble is... Now you've spoiled all my plans
The trouble is... Now I must be your man
The trouble is... I can't think clearly - can't you see?
Now I know you're the girl for me
Now I know you're the girl for me
You are so lovely and so fine
I want you to be mine all mine
I just don't know really what to do
Now I've fallen in love with you.
The trouble is... The sweet things you always say
The trouble is... I want you more each day
The trouble is... I really don't know what to do
Now I've fallen in love with you.
Now I've fallen in love with you.
Make Room for the Lonely
Written at age 16 circa 1961
Move over buddy now don't look so blue
My baby just left me and I'm going to join you
She said she'd always be true
Just like your baby told you.
So, make room for the lonely
Make room for the lonely
I'm lonely now she's been untrue
I'm lonely now she's made me blue
I remember when your girl left you, you looked so blue
Cause mine made me so happy I forgot about you
But now she's gone I see...
Just what lonely can be.
So, make room for the lonely
Make room for the lonely
How I long for her sweet caress
I'm lonely for her tenderness
There are lots of girls like yours and mine
And they'll attract you with their eyes so pretty and fine
They force us to hide behind the door
Of loneliness forever more.
So, make room for the lonely
Make room for the lonely
I'm lonely now she's been untrue
I'm lonely now she's made me blue
The Hustler
Written at age 21 circa 1966
He's the guy we all know
He likes to put on a show
He's got all the girls in town
Man, this guy, he gets around.
He's got a little black book
And I'd like to take a look
In the pages I would see
If he's got a girl for me.
The hustler's on his way
Here he comes
Here he comes
The hustler's on his way
The hustler's on his way
The hustler - the hustler's on the move
The hustler - the hustler's in the groove
The hustler the hustler's in the mood of things
You'd better bring you sweetest smile
For a while...
The hustler is the friend of all
And this guy he has a ball
He'll show you all around
He'll teach you how to clown
The hustler's on his way
Here he comes
Here he comes
The hustler's on his way
The hustler's on his way
The hustler - the hustler's on the move
The hustler - the hustler's in the groove
The hustler the hustler's in the mood of things
You'd better bring you sweetest smile
For a while...
The Me Of Yesterday
Written at age 17 circa 1962
Every time I come around you say
Oh, no, here he comes
Every time I go to town you say
Oh, I've got to run
Well, go and run,
Go and run
Go and run away
Because you're running
From the me of yesterday
Every time I come within your sight
You want to step aside
Every time you see me in your eyes
You want to go and hide
Well, go and run,
Go and run
Go and run away
Because you're running
From the me of yesterday
Don't judge me by the kind of a guy I used to be
Don't let your head rule over you so fully
Don't judge me that way
I'm a new man today
Don't judge me by what remains of yesterday
You can never find the truth that way.
Every time I come within your touch
You think its too much
Every time you have some bad luck
You say that's enough
Well, go and run,
Go and run
Go and run away
Because you're running
From the me of yesterday
Don't judge me by the kind of a guy I used to be
Don't let your head rule over you so fully
Don't judge me that way
I'm a new man today
Don't judge me by what remains of yesterday
You can never find the truth that way.
Songs of Love
Written in my early Twenties
Singing songs of love my dear
Ever wishing you were here
Singing songs of love for you
And I'll always cherish you.
Singing songs of hope and faith
You come to me by the hand of fate
I'll always sing my songs for you
Songs of love, ever true
Singing songs of love... love
Love and hope and all these things
You can be my everything
Singing songs of love... love
Love and hope and tenderness
We can have togetherness
You and me.
Words that rhyme with your name
Words that set my heart aflame
Singing songs of love for you
And I'll always cherish you.
