Baby oh baby
Tell the man at the ticket stand that you've changed your mind
Well let me run on out and tell the cab to keep his meter flying
Cause if you say goodbye to me babe you're gonna break my mind

Break my mind
Break my mind
Well I just can't stand to hear the big jet engines whine
Break my mind
Break my mind oh lord
Well if you leave you're gonna leave a babbling fool behind

Baby oh baby
Well let me take your suitcase off of that scale in time
Just tell the man that you suddenly developed a thing about high flying
Cause if you say goodbye to me you know you're gonna break my mind

Break my mind
Break my mind
Well I just can't stand to hear the big jet engines whine
Break my mind
Break my mind oh lord
Well if you leave you're gonna leave a babbling fool behind

Break my mind
Break my mind
Well I just can't stand to hear the big jet engines whine
Break my mind
Break my mind oh lord
Well if you leave you're gonna leave a babbling fool behind
Well if you leave you're gonna leave a babbling fool behind

Well since she put me down I 've been out doin' in my head
I come in late at night and in the mornin' I just lay in bed

Well, Rhonda you look so fine (look so fine)
And I know it wouldn't take much time
For you to help me Rhonda, Help me get her out of my heart

Help me Rhonda. Help, help me Rhonda

She was gonna be my wife, And I was gonna be her man (Oh Rhonda)
But she let another guy come between us, And it shattered our plans, (Oh Rhonda)

Well, Rhonda you caught my eye (caught my eye)
And I can give you lotsa reasons why
You gotta help me Rhonda, Help me get her out of my heart
Help me Rhonda yeah,Get her out of my heart

The Platters

Only you can make, ALL, this world seem right
Only you can make the darkness bright
Only you and you alone can thrill me like you do
And fill my heart with love for only you,

Only you can make, ALL, this change in me
For it's true you are my destiny
When you hold my hand I understand the magic that you do
You're my dream come true, my one and only you ]

[ repeat ]

(one and only you)

Well, you can't be my lovin' baby
You ain't got the style
I'm a-gonna get some real gone love
That'll drive a cool cat wild
I wanna move, move on down the line
Gonna get me a gal, then I go out on the town
Well, I wanna move on down the line
I'm gonna get me a gal, make some time
She can't be square, she can't be slow
And when she starts a-struttin' she's gotta go
I'm gonna move, move on down the line
Well, I'm in love, have been all the time

Yeah, I'm gonna show you ain't so hot
I'm gonna get what you ain't got
She'll be sweet, won't do me wrong
She'll be cool and twice as gone
We're gonna roll on, roll on down the line
I'm gonna get some love, lovin' that's truly fine
Well, I wanna move on down the line
I'm gonna get some lovin, truly fine
A love that'll be twice as gone
And when she starts a-struttin' she's gotta go
I wanna move on, move on down the line
Well, I'm gonna do right, do right all the time
I'm gonna do right, do right all the time

They say the best things in life are free
But you can give them to the birds and bees
I need money, that's what I want
That's what I want, yeah that's what I want

Money don't get everything, it's true
Though what it won't buy I can't use
I need money, that's what I want
That's what I want, that's what I want

Your love gives me such a thrill
But your lovin' don't pay my bills
I need money, that's what I want


That's what I want, yeah that's what I want

Well gimme money, I want some money
Whole lotta money, I want some money
That's what I want, yeah that's what I want

I need some money, hey hey
I want some money, yeah yeah
Whole lotta money
I want some money, hey hey
Whole lotta money, that's what I want

I want some money

When I Stop Dreaming that's when I'll stop loving you

The worst that I've ever been hurt in my life
the first time I ever have wanted to die
was the night when you told me you loved someone new
and asked me if I could forget

When I stop dreaming that's when I'll stop loving you

You may teach the flowers to bloom in the snow


you may take a pebble and teach it to grow
you may teach the raindrops to return to the sky
but you can't teach my heart to forget

When I stop dreaming that's when I'll stop loving you
Key change
When I stop dreaming that's when I'll stop loving you

You've got the loving touch that I need so much
You've got the loving touch that I need so much
No matter how I try your love I couldn't buy
Cause I need so much of your love

I've got the world at my fingers and it stands at my feet
I can fly to the moon or I can sleep in the street
there's nothing in this world I couldn't do
I get all that I want just by the wave of a hand
There's nothing on earth that won't obey my command


and now I find that all I need is you

Repeat chorus

I could give the world for you to hold and you know I could
Everything I'd touch would turn to gold and you know it would
But I need something else that's only yours for the giving
I need something else to make my life worth living

Repeat chorus 2 times

I peeped in to say good night
When I heard my child in prayer
"Send for me, some scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for my hair"

All the stores were closed and shuttered
All the streets were dark and bare
In my town no scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair

Through the night my heart was aching
Just before the dawn was breaking


I peeped in and on her bed
In gay profusion lying there
I saw ribbons, scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair

If I live to be a hundred
I will never know from where
Came those lovely scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons for her hair

She come from Kansas City, lookin' mighty pretty
She's as sweet as Kansas City wine
Oh, it's such a pity, she won't wanna kiss me
She won't hang her love out on the line
No, she won't hang her love out on the line

A mystery to me, she's not what you see
She's a strong, mighty woman who loves to disagree
If I could just talk to her
I know that I could fool her
But she won't hang her love out on the line

She don't care for nothin' she holds onto her lovin'
I wonder if she'd ever change her mind?
I'll fall in behind her, hopin' that I find her
When she hangs her love out on the line
When she hangs her love out on the line


A mystery to me, she's not what you see
She's a strong, mighty woman who loves to disagree
If I could just talk to her
I know that I could fool her
But she won't hang her love out on the line

I'd take her lovin', I'd take her lovin'
I'd take her lovin' anytime
I want her lovin', I need her lovin'
but she won't hang her love out on the line
she won't hang her love out on the line
she won't hang her love out on the line
No,she won't hang her love out on the line
she won't hang her love out on the line

I took a black cat, (a cave bat) threw 'em in a pot pot, pot pot pot pot
I took a green snake, (a blue snake), tied 'em in a knot knot, knot knot knot knot
I took the dog's paw, (a calve's jaw) hung 'em on the line line, line line line line
I took a horse hair, (a green bear) made a crazy sign sign, sign sign sign sign

I'm casting my spell on you, casting my spell on you, casting my spell on you
You'll never never be untrue, yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah,yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
I took a ghost too, an old shoe, put 'em in the ground ground, ground ground ground ground
I took and old dish, a dried fish, made a crazy sound sound, sound sound sound sound

I took in a goose egg, a frog leg, put 'em in a sack sack, sack sack sack sack
I got a Hindu, (a tattoo) a genie on my back back, back back back back


I'm casting my spell on you, casting my spell on you, casting my spell on you
You'll never never be untrue, yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah,yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

I took a black cat, (a cave bat) threw 'em in a pot pot, pot pot pot pot
I took a green snake, (a blue snake), tied 'em in a knot knot, knot knot knot knot
I took the dog's paw, (a calve's jaw) hung 'em on the line line, line line line line
I took a horse hair, (a green bear) made a crazy sign sign, sign sign sign sign

I'm casting my spell on you, casting my spell on you, casting my spell on you,you'll never never be untrue,
Casting my spell on you, casting my spell on you, casting my spell on you, you'll never never be untrue,

A light shone in the night somewhere ahead
Blue turned into green, then it was red.
And, stirring the night, loud music played
The light I saw in the night was a penny arcade.

“Step up and play�?, each machine seemed to say
as I walked round and round the penny arcade.
“Just ring the bell on the big bagatelle
and you'll make all the coloured lights cascade�?.

And music played in the penny arcade.
Yes, it played and it played, played all the time
“Roll up and spend your last dime!�?

At first I thought it a dream that I was in.
Lost , lost in a sea of glass and tin.
But no, so dipping my hand in the back of my jeans,
I grabbed a handful of coins to feed the machines.

“Step up and play�?, each machine seemed to say
as I walked round and round the penny arcade.
“Just ring the bell on the big bagatelle
and you'll make all the coloured lights cascade�?.

“Step up and play�?, each machine seemed to say
as I walked round and round the penny arcade.
“Just ring the bell on the big bagatelle
and you'll make all the coloured lights cascade�?.

“Roll up and spend your last dime!�?
Roll up and spend your last,
roll up and spend your last,
roll up and spend your last dime!�?
