Look out now, love has done you wrong
You can be weak, you can be strong
But if you go on you can't look back, dont look back
For you'll never be sixteen again

It might be easy to stop and cry
And let the rest of the world roll by
But if you run for the golden sun, run now, run
For you'll never be sixteen again

Oh no, you'll never be sixteen again, you'll never be sixteen again


No no no no, don't be lonely, there'll always be new romance
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, love is only a win, lose or draw game of chance

And you'll never be sixteen again
Remember the rainbow always follows the rain
True love may be just around the bend
So make time your friend, hearts take time to mend
And you'll never be sixteen again, someday you won't regret, and you'll forget
Ah, but you'll never be sixteen again
Oh no, you'll never be sixteen again, oh no, you'll never be sixteen again

Well thanks a lot thank you
Now I'm the talk of the town
Of all the fools they drink to
I am the king of the clowns
I play the lonely joker
I take what fun I can find
I laugh when things aren't funny
I throw away my last dime
You're not mine so I waste my time in pantomime.
It's pantomime.

I'm ready for lonely fun times, yeah
Loud music may dull my mind
Black coffee and electric sunshine
Get set for this pantomime.


I-ay-ay-ay cry inside cause you're not mine
I-ay die-ay-ay-ay inside cause you're not mine
I pantomime.

Laughing when I feel like crying
Crying when I feel like dying
You're not mine so I waste my time in pantomime
Bring on the girls and the parties, yeah
Guitars and drums beating time
Be merry, be gay and hardy, yeah
I'm set for this pantomime.

Written by Roy Orbison/Bill Dees

Hey boys, gather round boys, the money's right
Go down to low town for me tonight
Walk onto forty four and knockon that big black door
Lay some money on that man
And get the very best table you can

Well,there's a soul band's wailing behind the beat,
And they cook when the blue lights spin.
There's a “go-go girl�? yeah,
She works it out,now.
Look when you walk in,
Yeah, yeah, yeah,yeah.
Everybody knows
To see her dance,now
My TwinkleToes.

Twinlke Toes you move and you go,
And you know you do it right.
Up and down,now you dance around, now.
You're look in good tonight,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Come on, come on now.
Twinlke Toes,
Dance on and on, now.

Yeah, but Twinkle Toes,
I know you're trying
To hide your broken heart;
You act so gay.
Yeah,behind the smile,
I know you're crying.
Your big great lonely eyes
Give you away.
Hey, hey,hey.
Hey, hey ,hey.

Twinkle Toes,
You know you must hang on, girl.
Hnag on tight;
Don't let your feelings show.
Twinkle Toes,
You know you must dance on,girl.
If you work it right,
They'll never know.

Twinkle Toes,
It's tough to forget,
But every thing's all right.
Yeah, Twinkle Toes,

(Orbison-Dees)

Teardrops tell me that I'm losing you
Lost and lonely and I'm losing you
Dreams remind me that I'm losing you
Heartaches find me and I'm losing you

If you could forget that love affair
I wonder
If you could how much would you still care

It's no use now for I'm losing you
No excuse now yes I'm losing you
I love you much more than yesterday
In sorrow
I love you less than tomorrow
I love you with all my love today
But I guess I threw your love away
I'm losing you
What can I do?
I don't want to but I'm losing you.

Coffer cafe's dizzy with city lights, concrete sidewalks busy with friendly fights
But that's alright baby, it's alright come go with me and you will see city life, city life
Loud paper boys yelling yesterday's news, a pedlar man selling what you can't use
That's alright baby, it's alright come go with me, you will see city life, city life

I need you when the sun goes down, you pick me up when you're around
Come on, come on now, we can have a good time, this town ain't much unless you're here with me
It's like a woman, crazy just like a puppy, lazy
Just like a pretty jealous wife, I can't get free from city life

Secluded bars humming behind the scenes, hot wild guitars strumming, promising dreams


That's alright baby, it's alright come go with me and you will see city life, city life
I don't want to be alone, stay with me now, don't go home
It's a date, we'll stay out late and party, city lifes okay when you're with me

It's like a lion sleeping just like a willow weeping,
A melting pot for fun and strife can't get away from city life
City life baby, city life, it's alright baby, it's alright city life, city life....

. . .


We walk in shadows, we talk in shadows
We date in shadows dark and cold

But wait, it will be alright
Wait, baby hold me so tight
I hate to break your loving heart in two
But wait, I can't stay away from you.

I promise you I'll be with you tomorrow night
I have to wait until the time is right


Yeah wait a little longer now
Wait a little stronger now
Wait a little longer now for me
Oh what you do to me
Wait now until I am free

Yeah Yeah Yeah wait a little longer now
Wait a little stronger now for me
Wait, come on come on girl
Wait, try to be strong girl

. . .


Your life begins when teardrops start, a broken toy, a broken heart
All of these things are just a part of growing up
From kiddie cars to walking shoes from lullabyes to lonely blues
Somehow you never quite get used to growing up
Yeah Yeah you're growing up, yeah Yeah you're growing up
It's good to know you're growing up.

The wheel of fortune takes a spin
Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win
But you must play the game again


Drink another cup,You're growing up.
Yeah Yeah you're growing up, yeah yeah you're growing up
It's good to know you're growing up.

Heeeeey eeeeey now little one you're growing up
Heeeeey eeeeey now little one you're growing up.
To be a man, to be a woman to understand, takes a lot of growing, growing up
You'll live to learn, you'll learn to live, you'll give to love your love to give
And when you're wise enough you'll know, you're growing up

. . .


Where is tomorrow? an island of dreams. Where is tomorrow? flying on golden wings,tomorrow.
Where is tomorrow? the end of time. Where is tomorrow.you're no longer mine.
Tomorrow, tomorrow.I'll get over you. Tomorrow,tomorrow.when tomorrow comes, Then I'll stop loving you,tomorrow.

Where is tomorrow? tomorrow is gone. Gone losting stardust,hiding from the dawn. Tomorrow,tomorrow.tomorrow.
I long for tomorrow.I'll be strong tomorrow. I want cry for you tomorrow. Where is tomorrow? Where is tomorrow? Tomorrow.

. . .


(Written by Orbison/Dees.)

I could find another girl to kiss m, I could find another girl to miss me.
I could find another girl who wants to be true, but I'll never get over you.
I got over Marie Lou.I got over Suzie Q, I got over Connie too.
I get over losing you to somebody new, but I'll never get over you.

No I'll never get over you, ah ah, oh no, ah ah.
No I'll never get over you oh no, my heart tells me so.
I don't know just what there is about you, but I know that I can't live without you.

I could find another girl to flirt with, I could find another girl to hurt with.
I could find another girl almost like you, but I'll never get over you.
I got over Linda Lou, I got over Peggie Sue, I got over Betty too.
I got over losing you to somebody new, but I'll never get over you.
No I'll never get over you oh no, ah ah ah, oh no.
No I'll never get over you, oh no, my heart tells me so.
No I'll never get over you...

Going back to Gloria,the girl I'm dreaming of.
Going back to Gloria,Gloria my love.
Forget about the letters that i wrote to you.
Forget about the many things we used to do.
I don't want you to cry,but I must say goodbye.
So long you're on your own.
Going home,going back to Gloria.

Going back to Gloria, the girl I'm dreaming of.
Going back to Gloria, Gloria my love.


I'll keep on pretending that I never cared
And everytime we'll meet I'll act like you're not there.
I will write no more letters.I'll make no more calls.
I can't meet you anymore.
Going home,Going back to Gloria.

Going back to Gloria, going back to Gloria.Gloria.
Going back to Gloria.the girl I'm dreaming of.
Going back to Gloria,Gloria my love, Gloria my love.

Well you can act like a monkey, shake your hands do the limbo till you can't stand,
Well you can mash your potata, hippy hippy shake, but the beats' still wild and your feet still ache
I say it's just another name for rock and roll everybody, everybody sing
It's just another name for rock and roll, rock and roll

Well you can do the duck, walk your dog down the street, loop the loop to a swingin beat,
You can twist and shout and do the stomp, a chase a chicken on a pony romp ah but
It's just another name for rock and roll everybody, everybody sing,
It's just another name for rock and roll, rock and roll

Well they all try to shake it another way, but they rock, they roll just the same


They only call it by another name and I don't care what they say, woah,oh,oh

Down in the jungle where the tree tops are steep, they get the fever for a bongo beat,
They do the ubangie stomp, the safari hop, do the monkey until they drop

Ah but it's just another name for rock and roll everybody,everybody sing
It's just another name for rock and roll, everybody,everybody sing
It's just another name for rock and roll everybody,everybody sing.......
