The Monkees Album

by Jeff Barry and Andy Kim

Oh my my, I could love you forever.
Oh my my, I only wish that I could.
Oh my my, I could love you forever.
Oh my my, girl you feel so good.

You, you make my heart sing.
You make my life worthwhile.
I feel such there's so much to discover
To uncover it is gonna take a while.

Oh my my, I could love you forever.
Oh my my, I only wish that I could.
Oh my my, I could love you forever.
Oh my my, girl you feel so good.

I think of us together
It takes my breath away.
Up to the sky I go flying
"Oh my my" is all I can say.

Break

Oh my my
Oh my my my my
Oh my my my my my my
Oh my oh my (oh my oh my oh my my my my my my)

You, you make my heart sing.
You make my life worthwhile.
I feel such there's so much to discover
To uncover it is gonna take a while.

Oh my my, I could love you forever.
Oh my my, I only wish that I could.
Oh my my, I could love you forever.

Oh my my, I could love you forever.
Oh my my, I only wish that I could.
Oh my my, I could love you forever.
Oh my girl you feel so good.

I got a ticket on a ferry ride.
I got a ticket and it hurts inside.
I wonder if she knows
That I don't really want to go, oh no
I still love her so.

I got a ticket on a ferry ride.
I got a ticket and it hurts inside.
I never though the day
Would come when I would say good bye this way
Wanted so to stay.

I got a ticket on a ferry ride.

I still love her so.
Don't really wanna go.

I got a ticket on a ferry ride.
I got a ticket and it hurts inside.
I wonder if she knows
That I don't really have to go, oh no
I still love her so.

I got a ticket on a ferry ride.
I got a ticket and it hurts inside.
I got a ticket on a ferry ride.
I got a ticket and it hurts inside.

I got a ticket on a ferry ride, ah.
I got a ticket on a ferry ride (repeat).

You're so good to me, I'm hooked on the things you do
You're so good to me, tell me what can I do for you
Can I take you for a walk? Can I take you for a talk?
Can I give you love, love, love, all of my love, love, love
I'll give you love, love, love
You haunt me so I know I'm awake

You're so good to me, I'm hooked on the things you do
You're so good to me, tell me what can I do for you
Can I kiss you?  ????
Can I give you love, love, love, all of my love, love, love
I said love, love, love
I tell you what, she gets all that I got

You're so good to me, I'm hooked on the things you do
You're so good to me, tell me what can I do for you
Let me give you love, love, love,
All of my love, love, love, holy smoke, oh darling

You're so good to me, I'm hooked on the things you do
You're so good to me, tell me what can I do for you
You're so good to me,
You got me hooked on the things you do
You're so good to me, tell me what can I do for you

I held you tight, and we fell, life took a breath
Made me weep, blanket kissed your lips
And I know that it tasted just like it felt
I'd never see all this happen to me
But it feels like love, makes me weep like love
And it tastes just like it's got to be love
Oh it's in the air, I feel it everywhere
I'm so happy 'cause I know it's got to be love
No two ways about it, it's got to be love

I look at you, and it looks like it when you talk
Oh it sounds like it deep inside
All my thoughts and my heart say it's so
Still I've got to be sure 'cause I've been fooled before
But it looks like love and it sounds like love
And my heart tells me it's got to be love
Oh it's in the air, I feel it everywhere
I'm so happy 'cause I know it's got to be love
No two ways about it, it's got to be love

It's Got To Be Love

I held you tight and it felt like it
Took a breath made me weak like it
Kissed your lips and I know that it tasted just like it felt
I've never seen all this happen to me
But it feels like love
Makes me weak like love
And it tastes just like it's got to be love
Oh it's in the air I feel it everywhere
I'm so happy 'cause I know it's got to be love
No two ways about it, it's got to be love
I look at you and it looks like it
When you talk, oh it sounds like it
Deep inside, all my thoughts and my heart say it's so
Still I've got to be sure 'cause I've been fooled before
But it looks like love
And it sounds like love
And my heart tells me it's got to be love
Oh it's in the air I feel it everywhere
I'm so happy 'cause I know it's got to be love
No two ways about it, it's got to be love...

Acapulco sun, leaving work undone
Dream about the nighttime till she comes
She'll take my hand and walk with me
Down along the sea
Hear the pretty song she sings for free
She sings songs of love so sweet (oh so sweet)
And the words she's saying are so simple and complete
"I love you, truly do."

Acapulco sun, tells me she's the one
Dream about the sunset till she comes
She'll take my hand and walk with me
Down along the sea
Hear the pretty song she sings for free
She sings songs of love so sweet (oh so sweet)
And the words she's saying are so simple and complete
"I love you, truly do."

Acapulco sun, leaving work undone
Dream about the nightttime till she comes

Whoa!
I tell ya she's a heart breaker and ya can't tell me she ain't, (hey, hey)
There's a little devil in her under all that powder and paint, (hey, hey)
And she can hang you up every night
And get you so uptight
She's the 99 pounds (99 pounds)
I say 99 pounds (99 pounds)
She's the 99 pounds and some kinda dynamite

I tell ya half a tin of sugar ain't half as sweet as her (hey, hey)
She can change it, rearrange it, 'til you don't remember what you were (hey, hey)
And it don't even pay to fight
'Cause she don't know wrong from right
She's the 99 pounds (99 pounds)
I said 99 pounds (99 pounds)
She's the 99 pounds and some kinda dynamite
Whoa!

And while she may look like an angel but she's made outta TNT (hey, hey)
She's a little bitty of babe of explosivity (hey, hey)
And when she hold ya tight
She's some kind of outta sight
She's the 99 pounds (99 pounds)
I say 99 pounds (99 pounds)
I say 99 pounds and some kinda dynamite
I say 99 pounds (99 pounds)
I say 99 pounds (99 pounds)
62 inches (62 inches)
I say 99 pounds, (99 pounds)...

Oh tell me, love, and tell me truly
Do you believe this is forever?
Well I tell you, love, that I believe you
Oh, when you tell me that you will leave me never

Oh tell me, love, that all my words are a waste
Oh tell me, love, are my lips to your taste?
'Cause I want to please you, I want to please you
And tell me, love, do you know you amaze me?
You keep changing for the better with every passing day
Well, I'll tell you, love, sometimes it kinda scares me
I've got to keep on getting to you, so you don't get away

Oh tell me, love, that all my words are a waste
And tell me, love, are my lips to your taste?
'Cause I want to please you, I want to please you
And tell me, love, please tell me, love, tell me, love

I'm like a toy balloon
And someone cruel has cut the string
I'm drifting out of sight
My head's too light to find a thing
Oh baby, life is like a cartoon movie
Being with you makes it groovy
Everything you do is new to me

And do you feel it too?
Do you find another joy in every little thing you do?
Oh do you feel it too, do you find the only thing
That matters now is me and you?

I can't believe my ears
You know I hear such crazy sounds
Each time I talk to you
And walk with you I'm off the ground
Oh baby, love is great, you just can't top it


Got the ball we mustn't drop it
Girl there ain't a thing can stop it now

And do you feel it too?
Do you find another joy in every little thing you do?
Oh do you feel it too, do you find the only thing
That matters now is me and you?
Tell me baby

Oh baby, life is like a cartoon movie
Being with you makes it groovy
Everything you do is new to me

And do you feel it too?
Do you find another joy in every little thing you do?
Oh do you feel it too, do you find the only thing
That matters now is me and you?

I one went with a belly dancer (Lum do dee ally day)
One around I didn't stand a chance a (Lum do dee ally day)
I, I, I love you better
I, I, I love you better

Then I went with a gospel singer (Lum do dee ally day)
She tried to wrap me around her finger, now (Lum do dee ally day)
But I say
I, I, I love you better
I, I, I love you better

Ha, ha, ha, lum do dee ally day.
Ha, ha, ha, lum do dee ally day.

I once went with a history teacher (Lum do dee ally day)
I really tried but I couldn't reach her (Lum do dee ally day)
I, I, I love you better
I, I, I love you better

Well, let me tell you now
I, I, I love you better
I, I, I love you better

Ha, ha, ha, lum do dee ally day
Ha, ha, ha, lum do dee ally day

There were some that I can't remember (Lum do dee ally day)
Think I went with Miss November (Lum do dee ally day)
But I say
I, I, I love you better
I, I, I love you better.

I can see you when the moon is shining bright
I can feel you when the moon is out of sight
Whisper softly, well it sounds so nice
All alone in the dark, all alone in the dark

I can hear the words you whisper when you're near
I can feel them tickle softly in my ear
Kiss me softly while there's no one here
All alone in the dark, all alone in the dark

You know this darkness makes me see
That you're the only one for me
You know this darkness makes me see
And this time's the only time
We can make our feelings ryhme
With all the things we could not say

I can see you when the moon is shining bright
I can feel you when the moon is out of sight
Whisper softly, well it sounds so nice
All alone in the dark, all alone in the dark
All alone in the dark

Now listen just a minute while I sing this song,Don't you worry baby it won't take long.I'm just about ready to draw the line,So don't be surprised if I leave this time.
Well I'm goin' north and I'm goin' southDon't want no more of your lyin' mouth.I'm hittin' the road, gonna ring some bells,Better know I can do it well.
CHORUS:Midnight train, ramblin' ramblin'All night long I'm gamblin', gamblin'Been losin' all my money and it really is funny, umm badda dum.Midnight train, ramblin' ramblin'Al night I'm gamblin', gamblin'Well tell you what baby, well you better be movin' on.
Well I really don't know where I'm goin' for sure,Ain't gotta map, it ain't no tour.Just headin' out to the open sky,Who knows, might even die.
Well don't you worry your pretty little head'Cause you never gave a dang what I did or said.That's why I'm packin' to leave this placeCan't stand to look at your cheatin' face.
CHORUS
Well you treated me like a little boyAnd played around like I was a toy.Guess you thought I'd have the blues,Look whose cryin', guess you lose.
CHORUS (twice)It's about that time, better be movin' on

Midnight Train (version from "Missing Links, Vol. 3")
1: Well I'm an angry man, I sing an angry song,Tell you honey it won't be long,Well I'll pack my bags, get outa here,With my guitar and a case o' beer.Well I'm goin' north and I'm goin' south,Tell you honey, better shut you're mouth,Well I'll kick your head from here to hell,You better know I can do it well.
CHORUS: Midnight train, ramblin', ramblin',All night long I'm a-gamblin', gamblin',Losin' all my money well it really is funny, hon.Midnight train, ramblin', ramblin',All night long I'm a-gamblin', gamblin',Tell you what'n baby well you better be movin' on.
2: Well I really don't know where I'm goin' for sure,Ain't got a map, and it ain't no tour,I'm just headin' out for the open sky,Who knows? Might even die.Well don't you worry your pretty little head,I never give a damn what I did or said.That's why I'm packin' to leave this place,Can't stand look at your cheatin' face.
CHORUS: (repeat)
3: Well you treated me like a little boy,And you played around like I was a toy.I guess you thought I'd have the blues,Look who's cryin', guess you lose.
CHORUS: (repeat)
CHORUS: Midnight train, rambling, rambling,All night long I'm gambling, gambling.Losing all my money, well it really ain't so funny, hon.Midnight train, rambling, rambling,All night long I'm gambling, gambling.Tell you what'n baby, well you better be moving on.

I never thought it peculiar
That you never gave me a smile.
I wasn't socially suited
To make it worth your while.

Oh no and I never thought it peculiar
That my heart always beat like a drum.
Each time I would see you walk by me
You were as pretty as they come.

So I sent some flowers to your doorstep.
And wrote on the card "I love you."
I don't know why but I do know that I
Had a feeling that you liked me too.

So I never thought it peculiar
When you stopped to ask me the time.
And I don't think it's terribly peculiar
That now, little girl, you are mine.

So I sent some flowers to your doorstep.

So I never thought it peculiar
When you stopped to ask me the time.
And I don't think its terribly peculiar
That now, little girl, you are mine.
That now, little girl, you are mine.
That now, little girl, you are mine.

Time and time again
naughty girls get me in trouble
when I fly too high
something's bound to burst the bubble

You say this is love
wonder if you're feeling lonely
tell me if you please
is this for this evening only

Or will it be for long, long time
or just a passing fancy
will it be for a long, long time
I feel as though it can be

I'll just what and see
what tommorow has to bring me
a love that is oh-so-true
or another girl who's free and easy

(Interlude)

So, I'll just wait and see
what tommorow has to bring me
a love that is oh-so-true
or another girl who's free and easy

Time and time again
and again...

You could make it all so easy. (Aaah)
Girl you know just how to please me. (Aaah)
Don't you do it if you think you got to. (Aaah)
Don't you do it cause you think you ought to. (Aaah)

Ooh, do it in the name of love.
If you really want me that's reason enough.
Do it in the name of love. (do it in the name)
Do it in the name of love.

Baby, ain't it good to go together? (Aaah)
I swear it feels just like forever. (Aaah)
Hmmm don't be scared and don't you worry, no (Aaah)
It's all right, there's no hurry.(Aaah) Oh no.

Ooh, do it in the name of love.
If you really want me that's reason enough.
Do it in the name of love. (do it in the name)
Do it in the name of love.

Do it in the name of love.
If you really want me that's reason enough.
Do it in the name of love. (do it in the name)
Do it in the name of love.

If you really want me that's reason enough.
Do it in the name of love. (do it in the name)

She's my lady
She's my girl
She's my woman
She is my world

She's what I want
She's what I need
She's what I got, lord
She's just my speed

She's my daytime
She's my night
All through the darkness
She is my light

She is a dream, she is
And everything real
She is my heartbeat
She's how I feel

She's a song
Without an end
She's my lover
And my best friend

Oh, deep in the night, all right, all right
I whisper her name
I say lady, lady
Lady Jane

Lady Jane, Lady Jane, Lady Jay-a-ane, Lady Jay-a-a-ane, Lady Jane...
