Ooh wee baby, goodness gracious,
the way I love you is contagious
Ooh wee baby, can't you see I'm in love with
you
So come on baby don't be stubborn,
just for you I got a little lovin'
Ooh wee baby, can't you see I'm in love with
you
Well your kisses taste so sweet,
they thrill me right off of my feet
I'd walk a mile just to see you smile
Thinking 'bout you nearly drives me wild
Come on babe don't be stubborn,
just for you I got a little lovin'
Ooh wee baby, can't you see I'm in love with
you
Well your kisses taste so sweet,
they thrill me right off of my feet
I'd walk a mile just to see you smile
Thinking 'bout you nearly drives me wild
Come on babe don't be stubborn,
just for you I got a little lovin'
Ooh wee baby, can't you see I'm in love with
you
Yes I'm so in love with you
Baby I'm so in love with you
Ooh wee baby, can't you see I'm in love with

I can't believe in what I've seen
I been forsaken, I been deceived
Cast aside and left behind
I can't believe my own eyes
I been waiting for the glory, of the coming of
the Lord
I heard a lot of stories, but all my prayers have
been ignored
I been waiting in the wings, between the ocean and
the shore
But this time I'm leaving to stay, I'm walking
away
I seen the red sky in the morning
I seen the low tide slipping away
I do believe I'll take warning,
taking my leave to stay
Chorus
Like an angel afraid to fly
Like the last lonely rose hung on the vine

Lie to me and tell me everything is all right
Lie to me and tell me that you'll stay here
tonight
Tell me that you'll never leave,
and I'll just try to make believe,
that everything you tell me is true
Lie to me, go ahead and lie to me
Lie to me, it doesn't matter anymore
It could never be what it was before
If I can't hold on to you,
leave me with somethin' I can hold onto,
for just a little while won't you let me be
Anyone can see,
that you love him more than me
But right now, baby, let me pretend,
that our love will never end
Lie to me, go ahead and lie to me

Her name was Louise,
she came from Mississip'
She had a way with her walk,
her gown was really hip
I met her on the corner,
she was looking mighty fine
Well I knew right when she kissed my lips,
she was mine
She loved me in the morning,
she loved me noon and night
She dressed just like a pretty girl,
the girl was out of sight
Her name was Louise,
and you know she aimed to please
Louise
Well I met her on the street one day,
I saw her with my eyes
She looked and said hello to me,
I thought I would die
Next morning when she left me,
a smile upon my lips
She kissed me and she said good-bye,
I watched her crazy hips
She loved me in the morning,
she loved me noon and night
She dressed just like a pretty girl,
the girl was out of sight
Her name was Louise,
and you know she aimed to please
Louise
Well now a year has past,
she's been seeing other guys
I never thought a pretty face,
could tell so many lies
The guys that she's been seeing,
all have her on their minds
But by the time she's done with them,
they all look so satisfied
She loved me in the morning,
she loved me noon and night
She dressed just like a pretty girl,
the girl was out of sight
Her name was Louise,
and you know she aimed to please
Louise

I got my baby's love now,
know she's got mine
I got my baby's love now,
know she's got mine
Well I sit around and stare at her
Oh man, oh man, she sure look fine
My baby's eyes are as clear as the bluest
sky
My baby's eyes are as clear as the bluest sky
If the world were like my baby,
the good Lord sure would be satisfied
Looked at other women,
changed my mind
Compared to my baby,
they're a dozen for a dime
My baby sure look fine
Her sweet shinin' smile,
can turn black dirty water into wine

I keep drinking malted milk, tryin' to drown my

Come on fix me that malted milk, until I, till I
change my mind
Well my door lock keep on turnin', I think

Well my door lock keep on turnin', I think there're
spooks round my bed
I got a warmer feeling that, the hairs are standing
on my bed
Malted milk, malted milk, keep on rushing to my
head
Malted milk, malted milk, babe, keep on rushing to
my head
I got a funny funny feeling, that I'm talkin'
all out my head
I got a funny funny feeling, that I'm talkin' all
out my head

Yeah I'm tired of sighing, tired of worrying you

But I made up my mind baby, what I'm gonna do
I got my clothes in a matchbox, I'm gonna forget
about you
But I tried to tell you many times, but I never
could do it
You believe me baby, this time I'm through
I got my clothes in a matchbox, I'm gonna forget
about you
Now when things get harder, yeah, and rough on
you
Don't try to get me back now baby, 'cause baby I'm
through
I got my clothes in a matchbox, gonna forget about
you

You lay me down, whisper in my ear
Well, it may be my name you call,
but it's his name I hear
You promised me through thick and thin
You told me you loved me, you told me a lie,
because you love him
And I'm missin'; your love every day
I'm missin'; your love every way
Though you're here with me,
I'm still missin'; your love
And when we talk, you look into my eyes
You're talkin'; to me but baby I can see,
he's on your mind
And I'm missin'; your love every day
I'm missin'; your love love every way
Though you're here with me, baby, I'm missin'; your
love,
I reach out for you and you turn away
It takes all I can do to make it through the
day,
and I'm missin'; your love
And I'm missin'; your love every day,
missin'; your love every way
Though you're here with me,
I'm still missin'; your love

Can't wait to get back home
where the sun is always
nice and warm
Can't wait to get back home
where the sun is always
nice and warm
You know it's freezin' out here
and that howlin' wind sends a nasty chill through
my bones
Oh you know I
shivered myself to sleep last night
the cold won't let me be
That's when I woke up and realized that
this ain't no place for me
and I can't
can't wait to get back home
where the sun is always nice and warm
You know it's freezin' out here
and that howlin' wind sends a nasty chill through
my bones
Some good old friends got together
and they took me away
from this cold old alley babe
to a warm place I could stay
oh I can't
can't wait to get back home
where the sun is always nice and warm
I'm so happy to see you all
and that old nasty chill is gone
