The Smithereens

Before this dance is through I think I'll love you too
I'm so happy when you dance with me

I don't wanna kiss or hold your hand
If its funny try and understand
There is really nothing else I?d rather do
'Cause I'm happy just to dance with you

I don't need to hug or hold you tight
I just wanna dance with you all night
In this world there's nothing I would rather do
'Cause I'm happy just to dance with you

Just to dance with you is everything I need
Before this dance is through I think I'll love you too
I'm so happy when you dance with me

If somebody tries to take my place
Let's pretend we just can't see his face
In this world there's nothing I would rather do
'Cause I'm happy just to dance with you

Just to dance with you is everything I need
Before this dance is through I think I'll love you too
I'm so happy when you dance with me

If somebody tries to take my place
Let's pretend we just can't see his face
In this world there's nothing I would rather do
I?ve discovered I'm in love with you
'Cause I'm happy just to dance with you

My mind is filled with thoughts of you
I think about the days of two
I search the room but you're not there
Your perfume lingers everywhere
But it's

Only a memory
Of what our love was going to be
Only a memory
Broken bits of you and me
Only a memory
Only a memory

In a world of pain I have no peer
You fade away and disappear
And now I have to learn the game
Where no one wins or takes the blame
But it's

Only a memory
Of what our love was going to be
Only a memory
Now that we are history
Only a memory
Only a memory

But it's
Only a memory
Of what our love was going to be
Only a memory
Broken bits of you and me
Only a memory
Only a memory

Why should it matter if I cry
I sit around and wonder why
Now I feel much too weak to live
And I've got nothing left to give
Now it's

Only a memory
Of what our love was going to be
Only a memory
Broken bits of you and me
Only a memory
Only a memory
Only a memory

She had hair like Jeannie Shrimpton back in 1965
She had legs that never ended
I was halfway paralyzed.
She was tall and cool and pretty and she dressed as black as coal
If she asked me to I'd murder, I would gladly lose my soul.

Now I lie in bed and think of her
Sometimes I even weep,
Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep.

Well she held a bass guitar and she was playing in a band
And she stood just like Bill Wyman
Now I am her biggest fan.
Now I know i'm one of many who would like to be your friend
And I've got to find a way to to let you know I'm not like them.

Now I lie in bed and think of her
Sometimes I even weep,
Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep.

Got your number form a friend of mine who lives in your home town.
Called you up to have a drink,
Your roommate said you weren't around.
Now I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friend
And I've just got to find a way to to let you know I'm not like them.

Now I lie in bed and think of her
Sometimes I even weep,
Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep.
Behind the wall of sleep.
Behind the wall of sleep.
Behind the wall of sleep.

She told me sunday
baby it's over
we can't go on this way.
I really love you,
but I love him too.
She said take care, ok.

I never really
thought that she'd leave her
whole home and family.
I've got my own life,
you've still got your wife,
she whispered tenderly.

Please don't look my way
when you see me on the street.
We will still be
strangers when we meet.

All throughout this troubled time.
times I've wish that you were mine,
spend my nights and daysthinking of you.

Sometimes lie awake at night,
think of you and it's alright,
spend my nights and days thinking of you.

She told me sunday,
baby it's over
we can't go on this way.
I really love you
but I love him too.
She said take care, ok

Please don't look my way
when you see me on the street.
We will still be
strangers when we meet.

Please don't look my way
when you see me on the street.
We will still be
strangers when we meet.

Some other guy now
Is taking my love away from me, oh now
Some other guy now
Is taking away my sweet desire, oh now

Some other guy now
I just don?t wanna hold my fun, oh now
I'm the lonely one
As lonely as I can feel alright

Some other guy
Is sipping up the honey like a yellow dog, oh now
Some other guy now
Has taken our love just like a hog, oh now

Some other guy now
Has taken my love away from me, oh now
I'm the lonely one
As lonely as I could be alright now
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh no

Some other guy
Is making me very, very mad, oh now
Some other guy now
Is breaking my padlock off my pad, oh now

Some other guy now
Took the first girl I ever had, oh now
I'm the lonely one
As lonely as I can feel alright

Oh, no, no, no
I'm talking to you right now
Hey, yeah

I don't wanna spoil the party so I'll go
I would hate my disappointment to show
There's nothing for me here so I will disappear
If she turns up while I'm gone please let me know

I've had a drink or two and I don't care
There's no fun in what I do if she's not there
I wonder what went wrong, I've waited far too long
I think I'll take a walk and look for her

Though tonight she's made me sad
I still love her
If I find her I'll be glad
I still love her

I don't wanna spoil the party so I'll go
I would hate my disappointment to show
There's nothing for me here so I will disappear
If she turns up while I'm gone please let me know

Though tonight she's made me sad
I still love her
If I find her I'll be glad
I still love her

I've had a drink or two and I don't care
There's no fun in what I do if she's not there
I wonder what went wrong, I've waited far too long
I think I'll take a walk and look for her

Well, come on pretty baby won't you walk with me?
Come on pretty baby won't you talk with me?
Come on pretty baby give me one more chance
Try to save our romance

Slow down
Baby now you're movin' way too fast
You gotta gimme little lovin', gimme little lovin'
If you want our love to last

Well, I used to walk you home baby after school
Carry your books home too
But now you got a boyfriend down the street
Baby what you're tryin' to do?

You better slow down
Baby now you're movin' way too fast
You gotta gimme little lovin', gimme little lovin'
If you want our love to last

Well, you know that I love you, tell the world I do
Come on pretty baby why can't you be true?
I need your lovin? baby, oh so bad
The best little woman I ever had

Slow down
Baby now you're movin' way too fast
You gotta gimme little lovin', gimme little lovin'
If you want our love to last

If I fell in love with you would you promise to be true
And help me understand
'Cause I've been in love before and I found that love was more
Than just holding hands

If I give my heart to you, I must be sure from the very start
That you would love me more than her
If I trust in you, oh please don't run and hide
If I love you too, oh please don't hurt my pride like her

'Cause I couldn't stand the pain
And I would be sad if our new love was in vain
So I hope you see that I would love to love you
And that she will cry when she learns we are two

?Cause I couldn't stand the pain
And I would be sad if our new love was in vain
So I hope you see that I would love to love you
And that she will cry when she learns we are two
If I fell in love with you

This is the house we used to live in
This is the place I used to know
This is the house we used to live in
Where I felt I could always go

House that we used to live in
House where I left my heart
House that we used to live in falling apart

This is the house we used to live in
This is the place that I once knew
This is the house we used to live in
Where I once shared my life with you

House that we used to live in
House where I left my heart
House that we used to live in falling apart

A house is not a home
And when you live alone you'll find
That it's much harder than
So much harder to believe

House that we used to live in
House where I left my heart
House that we used to live in falling apart

Our house was not a home
And we both felt alone it seems
It is empty now
Worn and broken like our dreams

This is the house we used to live in
This is a place in our green town
This is the house we used to live in
One look before they tear it down

House that we used to live in
House where I left my heart
House that we used to live in falling apart
Falling apart

House we used, used to live in

As I write this letter
Send my love to you
Remember that I 'll always
Be in love with you

Treasure these few words till we 're together
Keep all my love for ever
P.S I love you
You, you, you

I 'll be coming home again to you, love
Until the day I do, love
P.S I love you
You, you, you

(Repeat 2 times)

I love you
'Cause you tell me things I want to know
And it's true
That it really only goes to show
That I know that I
Should never, never, never be blue

Now you're mine
My happiness makes me cry
And in time
You'll understand the reason why
If I cry, it's not because I'm sad
But you're the only love that I've ever had

I can't believe
It's happened to me
I can't conceive
Of any more misery

Ask me why
I'll say I love you
And I'm always thinking of you

I love you
'Cause you tell me things I want to know
And it's true
That it really only goes to show
That I know that I
Should never, never, never be blue

Ask me why
I'll say I love you
And I'm always thinking of you

I can't believe
It's happened to me
I can't conceive
Of any more misery

Ask me why
I'll say I love you
And I'm always thinking of you
You
You

I've got somethin' to say that might cause you pain
If I catch you talkin' to that boy again
I'm gonna let you down and leave you flat
Because I told you before, oh you can't do that

Well, it's the second time I've caught you talkin' to him
Do I have to tell you one more time I think it's a sin?
I think I?ll let you down and leave you flat
(Let you down)
(Gonna let you down and leave you flat)
Because I told you before, oh you can't do that

Everybody's green ?cause I'm the one who won your love
But if they'd see you talking that way they'd laugh in my face

So please listen to me if you wanna stay mine
I can't help my feelings, I'll go out of my mind
I think I?ll let you down and leave you flat
(Let you down)
(Gonna let you down and leave you flat)
Because I told you before, oh you can't do that

You can't do that, you can't do that
You can't do that, you can't do that
You can't do that

Everybody's green ?cause I'm the one who won your love
But if they'd see you talking that way they'd laugh in my face

So please listen to me if you wanna stay mine

I think I?ll let you down and leave you flat
(Let you down)
(Gonna let you down and leave you flat)
Because I told you before, oh you can't do that

Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Imagine I'm in love with you
It's easy 'cause I know
I've imagined I'm in love with you
Many, many, many times before

It's not like me to pretend
But I'll get you, I'll get you in the end
Yes I will, I'll get you in the end
Oh yeah, oh yeah

I think about you night and day
I need you and it's true
When I think about you I can say
I'm never, never, never, never blue

So I'm telling you my friend
That I'll get you, I'll get you in the end
Yes I will, I'll get you in the end
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Well, there's gonna be a time
When I'm gonna change your mind
So you might as well resign yourself to me
Oh yeah

Imagine I'm in love with you
It's easy 'cause I know
I've imagined I'm in love with you
Many, many, many times before

It's not like me to pretend
But I'll get you, I'll get you in the end
Yes I will, I'll get you in the end
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah

There, there's a place where I can go
When I feel low, when I feel blue
And it's my mind and there's no time
When I'm alone

I think of you
The things you do go 'round my head
The things you said like I love only you

In my mind there's no sorrow
Don't you know that it's so
There'll be no sad tomorrow
Don't you know that it's so

There, there's a place where I can go
When I feel low, when I feel blue
And it's my mind and there's no time
When I'm alone

There's a place, there's a place
There's a place, there's a place
There's a place, there's a place

Oh, oh, you've been good to me, you made me glad when I was blue
And eternally I'll always be In love with you
And all I gotta do is thank you girl, thank you girl

I could tell the world a thing or two about our love
I know little girl only a fool would doubt our love
And all I gotta do is thank you girl, thank you girl

Thank you girl for loving me the way that you do, way that you do
That's the kind of love that is too good to be true
And all I gotta do is thank you girl, thank you girl

Oh, oh, you've been good to me, you made me glad when I was blue
And eternally I'll always be in love with you
And all I gotta do is thank you girl, thank you girl
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
