Oh how you tried to cut me down to size Telling dirty lies to my friends But my own father said give her up don't bother The world isn't coming to an end (he said:) Walk like a man Talk like a man Walk like a man my son No woman's worth Crawling on the earth So walk like a man my son Walk like a man Fast as I can Walk like a man from you I'll tell the world: forget about it girl And walk like a man from you |

Can't Take My Eyes Off You (1967)
You're just too good to be true. Can't take my eyes off you. You'd be like Heaven to touch. I wanna hold you so much. At long last love has arrived And I thank God I'm alive. You're just too good to be true. Can't take my eyes off you. Pardon the way that I stare. There's nothing else to compare. The sight of you leaves me weak. There are no words left to speak. But if you feel like I feel, Please let me know that it's real. You're just too good to be true. Can't take my eyes off you. I love you, baby, And if it's quite alright, I need you, baby, To warm a lonely night. I love you, baby. Trust in me when I say: Oh, pretty baby, Don't bring me down, I pray. Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay And let me love you, baby. Let me love you. You're just too good to be true. Can't take my eyes off you. You'd be like Heaven to touch. I wanna hold you so much. At long last love has arrived And I thank God I'm alive. You're just too good to be true. Can't take my eyes off you. I love you, baby, And if it's quite alright, I need you, baby, To warm a lonely night. I love you, baby. Trust in me when I say: Oh, pretty baby, Don't bring me down, I pray. Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay ... And let me love you, baby Let me love you ... You're just too good to be true |

December 1963 (Oh, What A Night) (1975)
Oh, what a night! Late December back in '63. What a very special time for me, As I remember what a night! Oh, what a night! You know, I didn't even know her name, But I was never gonna be the same. What a lady! What a night! Oh, I ... I got a funny feeling when she walked In the room. Yeah! Oh my! As I recall it ended much too soon. Oh, what a night! Hypnotising, mesmerising me. She was everything I dreamed she'd be. Sweet surrender, what a night! Oh, what a night! Why'd it take so long to see the light? It seemed so wrong, but now it seems so right. Sweet surrender, what a night! I felt a rush like a rolling bolt of thunder Spinning my head around and taking my body under. Oh, what a night! |
