CALIFORNIA DREAMIN’
02:58

All the leaves are brown
And the sky it’s gray
I've been for a walk
On this winter's day
I'd be safe and warm
If I was in L.A.
California Dreamin'
On such a winter's day
Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
Well I got down on my knees
And I pretend to pray
You know the preacher digs the cold
And he knows I'm gonna stay
California Dreamin'
On such a winter's day
All the leaves are brown
All the leaves are brown
And the sky is gray
And the sky is gray
I've been for a walk
I've been for a walk
On this winter's day
On this winter's day
If I didn't tell her
If I didn't tell her
I could leave today
I could leave for L.A.
California Dreamin'
California Dreamin'
On such a winter's day
California Dreamin'
On such a winter's day
California Dreamin'
On such a winter's day

LIKE TO GET TO KNOW YOU

But I'd like to get to know you
Yes I would
But I'd like to get to know you
If I could
But I'd like to get to know you
Finally I've found
Searching all around
Just was not the answer
One I thought was true
Looked a bit like you
I figured I'd might chance her
But I'd like to get to know you
Yes I would
But I'd like to get to know you
If I could
But I'd like to get to know you
Hardly need to say
She went on her way
Said it was all over
Well it's been some time
And I guess that I'm just meant to be a rover
But I'd like to get to know you
Yes I would
Yes I'd like to get to know you
If I could
Well I can't promise that I'll spend a day with you
I can't promise that I'll find a way with you
I can't promise
No, I can't promise that I'll love you
But I'd like to get to know you
Yes I would
Yes I'd like to get to know you
If I could
Know you, know you, know
I'd like to get to know you, know you, know
I'd like to get to know you, know you, know
I'd like to get to know you, know you, know

DO YOU BELIEVE IN MAGIC
02:28
|

|
Do you believe in magic in a young girl's heart?
How the music can free her whenever it starts
And it's magic if the music is groovy
It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie
I'll tell you about the magic that will free your soul
But it's like trying to tell a stranger about a rock 'n' roll
If you believe in magic don't bother to choose
If it's jug band music or rhythm and blues
Just go and listen it'll start with a smile
That won't wipe off your face no matter how hard you try
Your feet start tapping and you can't seem to find
How you got there so just blow your mind
If you believe in magic come along with me
We'll dance until morning till there's just you and me
And maybe if the music is right
I'll meet you tomorrow sorta late at night
And we'll go dancing baby then you'll see
How the magic's in the music and the music's in me
Yeah, do you believe in magic
Yeah, believe in the magic of the young girl's soul
Believe in the magic of a rock 'n' roll
Believe in the magic that can set you free
Ahh, talking about magic
(Do you believe like I believe?) Do you believe in magic?
(Do you believe like I believe?) Do you believe believe?
(Do you believe like I believe?) Do you believe in magic?
(Do you believe like I believe?)

You didn't have to be so nice
I would have liked you anyway
If you had just looked once or twice
And gone upon your quiet way
Today I said the time was right for me to follow you
I knew I'd find you in a day or two
And it's true
You came upon a quiet day
Ooh
You simply seemed to take your place
Ooh
I knew that it would be that way
Ooh
The minute that I saw your face
Ooh
And when we've had a few more days
When we've had a few more days
I wonder if I'll get to say
Wonder if I'll get to say
You didn't have to be so nice
Be so nice
I would have liked you anyway
Would have liked
Today I said the time was right for me to follow you
I knew I'd find you in a day or two
And it's true
You didn't have to be so nice
Didn't have to be so nice
I would have liked you anyway
Would have liked you anyway
If you had just looked once or twice
Once or twice
And gone upon your quiet way
Quiet way

CALIFORNIA GIRLS
03:42

Well the East coast girls are hip
I really dig those styles they wear
And the Southern girls with the way they talk
They knock me out when I'm down there
The Mid-West farmer's daughters well they make you feel alright
And the Northern girls with the way they kiss
They keep their boyfriends warm at night
I wish they all could be California girls
(I wish they all could be California)
I wish they all could be California girls
The West coast has the sunshine
And the girls all get so tan
I dig a French bikini on a wild island doll
By a palm tree in the sand
I’ve been all around this great big world
And I’ve seen all kinds of girls
Yeah, but I couldn't wait to get back to Oshkosh
Back to the cutest girls in the world
I wish they all could be California girls
(Wish they all could be California)
I wish they all could be California girls
Yeah I dig the girls
I wish they all could be California girls
(Girls, girls, girls yeah I dig the)
I wish they all could be California girls
(Girls, girls, girls yeah I dig the)
I wish they all could be California girls
(Girls, girls, girls yeah I dig the)
I wish they all could be California girls
(Girls, girls, girls yeah I dig the girls)

DON’T WORRY BABY
02:46
|
|||
|
Well it’s been building up inside of me
For oh I don't know how long
I don't know why
But I keep thinking
Something's bound to go wrong
But she looks in my eyes
And makes me realize
And she says "Don't worry baby"
(Don't worry baby)
Don't worry baby
Everything will turn out alright
(Don't worry baby)
Don't worry baby
(Don't worry baby)
I guess I should've kept my mouth shut
When I started to brag about my car
But I can't back down now because
I pushed the other guys way too far
She makes me come alive
And makes me wanna drive
When she says "Don't worry baby"
(Don't worry baby)
Don't worry baby
Everything will turn out alright
(Don't worry baby)
Don't worry baby
(Don't worry baby)
She told me "Baby, when you race today
Just take along my love with you
And if you knew how much I loved you
Baby nothing can go wrong with you"
Oh what she does to me
When she makes love to me
And she says "Don't worry baby"
(Don't worry baby)
Don't worry baby
Everything will turn out alright
(Don't worry baby)
Don't worry baby
(Don't worry baby)

FEEL A WHOLE LOT BETTER
02:36
|

The reason why
Oh I can say
I have to let you go, babe
And right away
After what you did
(After what you did)
I can't stay on
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better when you're gone
Baby for a long time
(Baby for a long time)
You had me believe
(You had me believe)
That your love was all mine
(That your love was all mine)
And that's the way it would be
But I didn't know
(But I didn't know)
That you were putting me on
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better when you're gone
Ah when you're gone
Now I gotta say
(I gotta say)
That it's not like before
(It's not like before)
And I'm not gonna play
(And I’m not gonna play)
Your games any more
After what you did
(After what you did)
I can't stay on
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better when you're gone
Ah, when you're gone, ah when you gone, ah when you gone

MY BACK PAGES
03:00
|

|
Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rolling high and mighty traps
Countless fires and flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I
Proud 'neath heated brow
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
"Rip down all hate," I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull, I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now
My guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now
In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
My existence led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that

TELL HER NO
02:31

And if she should tell you "come closer"
And if she tempts you with her charms
Tell her no no no no no no no no
No no no no no no no no
No no no no no
Don't hurt me now for her love belongs to me
And if she should tell you "That I love you"
And if she tempts you with her charms
Tell her no no no no no no no no
No no no no no no no no
Don't take her love form my arms
No no no no no
Don't hurt me now for her love belongs to me
I know she's the kind of girl
Who'd throw my love away
But I still love her so
Don't hurt me now, don't hurt me now
And if she should tell you "I love you"
Just remember she said that to me
Tell her no no no no no no no no
No no no no no no no no
Don't take her love from my arms
No no no no no
Just leave her now for her love belongs to me

I'm so tired
Tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
So tired
Tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
I was a lonely soul
I had nobody till I met you
But you keep-a me waiting
All of the time
What can I do?
It's your life
And you can do what you want
Do what you like
But please don't keep-a me waiting
Please don't keep-a me waiting
'Cause I'm so tired
Tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
So tired
Tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
I was a lonely soul
I had nobody till I met you
But you keep-a me waiting
All of the time
What can I do?
It's your life
And you can do what you want
Do what you like
But please don't keep-a me waiting
Please don't keep-a me waiting
Why do you keep-a me waiting
Please stop keep-a me waiting
'Cause I'm so tired
Tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
So tired
Tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
For you
For you
