Personality

Over and over
I tried to prove my love to you
Over and over
What more can I do
Over and over
My friends say I'm a fool
But over and over
I'll be a fool for you
`cause you got personality
Walk, personality
Talk, Personality
Smile, Personality
Charm, personality
Love, personality
And of Cause you've got
A great big heart
So over and over
Oh, I'll be a fool to you
Now over and over
What more can I do
Over and over
I said that I loved you
Over and over, honey
Now it's the truth
Over and over
They still say I'm a fool
But Over and over
I'll be a fool for you

Come Into My Heart

I've never heard a name, as quite as sweet as yours
I never saw eyes, as quite as bright as yours
I've never found love that cant grow old
And that is why, and that is why, I love you
So come on
You better come on step right on to my heart
You better come oooonn, to my heart
e'en a heart, as good and pure as yours
I've never seen a smile as true and bright as yours
I've never found love that can't grow old
And that is why, that is why, I love you
So come on
You better come oooon to my heart
Just sitting here thinking with a you on my mind
Don't go no where I'm worried all the time
Come on
You better come on come on into my heart
You better come ooonne into my heart

Stagger Lee

The night was clear and the moon was yellow
And the leaves came tumbling down
I was standing on the corner
When I heard my bulldog bark
He was barkin' at the two men
Who were gamblin' in the dark
It was Stagger Lee and Billy
Two men who gambled late
Stagger Lee threw seven
Billy swore that he threw eight
Stagger Lee told Billy
I can't let you go with that
You have won all my money
And my brand new stetson hat
Stagger Lee went home
And he got his forty-four
Said, I'm goin' to the barroom
Just to pay that debt I owe
Go Stagger Lee
[Instrumental Interlude]
Stagger Lee went to the barroom
And he stood across the barroom door
He said, nobody move
And he pulled his forty-four
Stagger Lee, cried Billy
Oh, please don't take my life
I've three little children
And a very sickly wife
Stagger Lee shot Billy
Oh, he shot that poor boy so bad
Till the bullet came through Billy
And it broke the bartender's glass

Carry Me Home

Hey baby, come on and carry me home
Hey baby, come on and carry me home
I'm the oobie, doobie daddy
Please don't leave me alone

Hey baby, don't you want a man like me?
Hey baby, don't you want a man like me?
Well, I'm still young
Heavenly twenty three

Hey baby, don't I satisfy?
Hey baby, don't I satisfy?
See I'm a man
I sure don't have to lie

Hey baby, gee, that's killing me
Hey baby, ooh, you're killing me
I'm the oobie, doobie daddy
Giving you this loving free

Misty

Look at me,
I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree
And I feel like I'm clinging to a cloud
I can't understand,
I get misty just holding your hand.

Walk my way,
And a thousand violins begin to play
Or it might be the sound of your hello
That music I hear,
I get misty the moment you're near

You can say that you're leading me on
But it's just what I want you to do
Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost
That's why I'm following you.

On my own,
Would I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my right foot from my left,
My hat from my glove,
I'm too misty, and too much in love.

Question

What is the price of happiness?
How can I find me love?
Where could I sell my heartache?
And what do I pay for love?

Where could I get me a good nights sleep?
To trade off my trouble and pain
How long does it take to realize
That love is a priceless thing?

Oh I know, you can't buy love
If you're rich with diamond and gold
But heartaches will come around freely
And knock on anybodys door

What is the price of happiness?
How can I find me love?
Where could I sell my heartaches?
And what do I pay for love?

I know, you can't buy love
If you're rich with diamond and gold
But heartaches will come around freely
And knock on everybodys door

I know you can't buy love
If you're rich with diamond and gold
But heartaches will come around freely
And knock on anybodys door

What is the price of happiness?
How can I find me love?
Where could I sell my heartaches?
And what do I pay for love?
What do I pay for love?
A what do I pay for love?
A what do I pay for love?

Lawdy Miss Clawdy

Oh, now lawdy lawdy lawdy, Miss Clawdy,
girl, you sure look good to me.
Well, please don't excite me, baby,
tho' it can't be me.

Because I give you all my money,
girl, you just won't treat me right.
You like to ball in the morning,
don't come back until the night.

I'm gonna tell my mama, lawd, I'm gonna
tell her what you been doing to me.
I'm gonna tell everybody that I'm
down in misery.

Well, now lawdy lawdy lawdy, Miss Clawdy,
girl, you sure look good to me.
You just wheeling and rocking, baby,
you're just as fine as you can be.

Well, so bye bye bye bye, baby,
girl, I won't be trouble no more.
Goodbye, Clawdy, oh darling,
down the road I'll go.
