I just got out my little red book The minute that you said goodbye I thumbed right through my little red book I wasn't gonna sit and cry And I went from A to Z I took out every pretty girl in town They danced with me and as I held them
* All I did was talk about you Hear your name and I'd start to cry There's just no getting over you... oh, no...
There ain't no girl in my little red book Who could ever replace your charms And each girl in my little red book Knows you're the one I'm thinkin' of Oh won't you please come back Without your precious love I can't go on Where can love be I need you so much
*Repeat
Oh won't you please come back Without your precious love I can't go on It's haunting me I need you so much
All I did was talk and talk about you Hear your name and I'd start to cry There's just no getting over you All I did was talk and talk about you There's just no getting over you... oh no
What the world needs now is love, sweet love It's the only thing that there's just too little of What the world needs now is love, sweet love, No not just for some but for everyone.
Lord, we don't need another mountain, There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb There are oceans and rivers enough to cross, Enough to last till the end of time.
What the world needs now is love, sweet love It's the only thing that there's just too little of What the world needs now is love, sweet love, No, not just for some but for everyone.
Lord, we don't need another meadow There are cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine Oh listen, lord, if you want to know.
What the world needs now is love, sweet love It's the only thing that there's just too little of What the world needs now is love, sweet love, No, not just for some but for everyone.
What do you get when you fall in love A guy with a pin to burst your bubble That's what you get for all your trouble I'll never fall in love again I'll never fall in love again
What do you get when you kiss a girl You get enough germs to catch pneumonia After you do, she'll never phone you I'll never fall in love again I'll never fall in love again
Don't tell me what it's all about 'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out Out of those chains those chains that bind you That is why I'm here to remind you
What do you get when you give your heart You get it all broken up and battered That's what you get, a heart that's shattered I'll never fall in love again I'll never fall in love again
Out of those chains those chains that bind you That is why I'm here to remind you
What do you get when you fall in love? You only get lies and pain and sorrow So for at least until tomorrow I'll never fall in love again I'll never fall in love again I'll never fall in love again I'll never fall in love again
Now I have nothing, so God give me strength 'Cause I'm weak in her wake And if I'm strong I might still break And I don't have anything to share That I won't throw away into the air
* That song is sung out This bell is rung out She was the light that I'd bless She took my last chance at happiness So God give me strength, God give me strength
I can't hold onto god give me strength When the phone doesn't ring And I'm lost in imagining Everything that kind of love is worth As I tumble back down to the earth
* repeat
God if she'd grant me her indulgence and decline I might as well wipe her from my memory Fracture the spell as she becomes my enemy Maybe I was washed out like a lip-print on his shirt See, I'm only human, I want him to hurt I want him I want him to hurt
Since I lost the power to pretend That there could ever be a happy ending
There was a song I remember Said “What the world needs now…”
Where is the love Where did it go Who broke our hearts Cause we need to know Where are the dreams That we once knew? Please explain Please explain
Where is the love Where did it go Who broke our hears Cause we need to know Where are the dreams That we once knew? Please explain Please explain
The sun and the moon are crying The stars and our hearts Crying Please explain The fathers and mothers crying Sisters and brothers crying Please explain Please explain
The sun and the moon are crying The stars and our hears Crying
Stop the clock Make it stop Where'd it go? I don't know Stop the clock Make it stop Where is that world Where did it go?
When I was a young boy Twelve years old Growing up in New York city I could ride the subway by myself And never, ever be afraid Where did it go?
And tell me what happened to that world I knew Is it really gone? How did we wind up in this place instead Is it really gone?
Now I have a boy who's twelve And a girl who's nine And a son in college And I worry all the time Worry 'bout their future What will it bring? 'Cause nobody is safe these days Where did it go?
How do we get back to that other place? There's gotta be a way How do we un-do a thousand mistakes? See there's got to be a way
I've been hoping for a better day It's a long time coming, but I wait anyway 'Til the dark clouds have all blown away And the sun shines again
I keep trying, I've been holding on Though the days are empty in a world that's gone wrong Life's a miracle or a foolish tale I don't know, go ask Shakespeare
Love's the answer, like I said before It's the one thing needed, maybe now even more Love's the secret we've been looking for 'Til the sun shines again
So I keep hoping and I'm holding on There's a cold wind blowing, but I know love is strong There will come a day when sorrow is gone And the sun shines again
I keep hoping for a better day It's a long time coming, but I wait anyway Life's a miracle or a foolish tale I don't know, go ask Shakespeare
