[No lyrics]

Buck Ram

Oh-oh, yes I'm the great pretender
Pretending that I'm doing well
My need is such I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no one can tell

Oh-oh, yes I'm the great pretender
Adrift in a world of my own
I've played the game but to my real shame
You've left me to grieve all alone

Too real is this feeling of make-believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

Yes I'm the great pretender
Just laughin' and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around

Too real is this feeling of make-believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

Yes I'm the great pretender
Just laughin' and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around

Love hurts, love scars
Love wounds and mars
Any heart not tough
Nor strong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud, holds a lot of rain
Love hurts
Love hurts

I'm young, I know
But even so
I know a thing or two
I learned from you
I really learned a lot, really learned a lot
Love is like a stove, burns you when it's hot
Love hurts
Love hurts

Some fools rave of happiness
Blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves, I guess
But they're not foolin' me

I know it isn't true, know it isn't true
Love is just a lie made to make you blue
Love hurts
Love hurts
Love hurts
...

(Words & music by Boudleaux & Felice Bryant)

She wears my ring to show the world that she belongs to me
She wears my ring to show the world she's mine eternally
With loving care I placed it on her finger
To show my love for all the world to see
This tiny ring is a token of tender emotion
An endless pool of love that's as deep as the ocean
She swears to wear it with eternal devotion
That's why I sing, because she wears my ring

She swears to wear it with eternal devotion
That's why I sing, because she wears my ring

This tiny ring is a token of tender emotion
An endless pool of love that's as deep as the ocean
She swears to wear it with eternal devotion
That's why I sing, because she wears my ring
That's why I sing, because she wears my ring

Written by Orbison/Melson.

Wonder how long it will take.
For this heart of mine to break
There's I watch you walk away.
This was to be our wedding day.
I won't hear the choir sing.
While I hold your golden ring.
Might as well throw it away.
With my dreams of wedding day.
Oh,Oh,Oh,Oh.Oh,Oh,Oh,Oh.

Oh to hold you in my arms again.
I watched my whole world fade away.
On this our wedding day.
Who was right and who was wrong,
Makes no difference when you're all alone.
As I watch you walk away.
Goodbye darling, goodbye wedding day.

Our summersong lingers on in my memory
Since you've been gone from me
Summer's come again, and again I'm alone
Wish you were near when I hear our summersong

Our summersong lives on and on and on
Inside of me, and it will, yes
Until you return to me

Oh, when the leaves fall away from the trees
I'll still be blue all winter long
And I'll sing our summersong and dream of you
I'll sing our summersong and dream of you

Orbison/Melson

Roy Orbison/Joe Melson

Loneliness is the worst thing in the world
To be alone all the day long
No ring on the phone, yeah this is wrong
Low down loneliness

This loneliness, I must confess
Yes it's a mess of this loneliness
Low down loneliness, loneliness all around
Loneliness, you have found me loneliness

Oh loneliness, all of the time
Such loneliness, you're so unkind
Low down loneliness
Loneliness everywhere
Loneliness, I've got more that my share

Oh loneliness, my destiny
Yeah loneliness, was I born to be
In low down Loneliness? Loneliness

Orbison/Melson

Come a little closer
Don't you tell me "no sir"
Let's make a memory

Come on now
Come on and give me your kiss now
What are you gonna miss now
Let's make a memory, a memory
Let's make a memory
Make a memory

Yes let's make a memory together
One that will last and last forever

Sweet baby
Baby hold me tight then
Squeeze with all your might then
Let's make a memory

Come on now
Just have a little fun for
What do you think we're young for?
Let's make a memory
Make a memory

Yes let's make a memory together
One that will last and last forever

Come on now
Let yourself let go now
Don't let love grow cold now
Let's make a memory

Sweet baby
Forget about the past now
We've got a love that'll last for
Now and forever we will be
Making memories....
Making memories

When shadows fall, the day is done
The mountain tops hide the setting sun
The magic of the night is here, for all young lovers far and near

Nite life, ooh la la la, stars coming out to play
Nite life, rah rah rah rah
See how they light the milky way
At the end of day, mmm nite life

Nite life, aye aye aye aye look at the moon above
Nite life, ma ma ma ma, it's time to fall in love
Yeah, so come on, mmm nite life

Nite life, no need to be blue
The moon and the stars are belong to you
Nite life is so much fun when you're in love, and love is young

Nite life tra la la la, laughing and painting the town
Nite life, ha ha ha ha, it's just a merry go round
When the sun goes down, mmm nite life

Just runnin' scared each place we go
So afraid that he might show
Yeah, runnin' scared, what would I do
If he came back and wanted you

Just runnin' scared, feelin' low
Runnin' scared, you love him so
Just runnin' scared, afraid to lose
If he came back which one would you choose

Then all at once he was standing there
So sure of himself, his head in the air
My heart was breaking, which one would it be
You turned around and walked away with me.
