Tommy James And The Shondells Album

Oh
Now I don't hardly know her
But I think I could love her
Crimson and clover

Ah
I wish she'd come walking over
Now I've been waiting to show her
Crimson and clover
Over and over

Yes (Da-da, da-da, da-da)
My, my, such a sweet thing (Da-da, da-da, da-da)
I want to do everything (Da-da, da-da, da-da)
What a beautiful feeling (Da-da, da-da, da-da)
Crimson and clover (Da-da, da-da, da-da)
Over and over

Crimson and clover, over and over
Crimson and clover, over and over
Crimson and clover, over and over
Crimson and clover, over and over
Crimson and clover, over and over
Crimson and clover, over and over

I work for the father of Kath-a-leen McArthur,
So respectable, so refined.
I tend to the garden, I then clean the yard
And straighten up the "No trespassing" sign.
Oh, they've got a fishing yacht and a limousine,
And a very lovely daughter, Kath-a-leen.

In a house that's fit for twenty, there they sit with plenty,
Independently, high society.
Every morning when I meet her, I tip my hat to greet her
"Well hello, Kathleen, how are you today?"
Kathleen, so serene, Daddy's unaware
Of the mask you wear, and the love we share.

Yes, I work for the father of Kath-a-leen McArthur,
So respectable, so refined.

Hello banana, I am a tangerine.
Is it a dream? Oh, no! I don't think so, but
My head is spinning, I am a carousel.
Don't-cha hear the bells ringin' in my ear?
And I haven't any troubles,
'Cause the friendly, friendly bubbles wash them away.

I am so mellow, I am a jello man.
Yes I am and nothing touches me.
Oh, no, I think it's over
For the fire's gettin' lower, I'm fallin' down.

Hello banana, I am a tangerine. (repeat and fade)

Do something to me, I've got to find love in a hurry.
C'mon, do something to me, help me to ease all the worry.
Do something to me, I've got to find love in a hurry.
C'mon do something to me, help me to ease all the worry.

Whenever you're near me, you give me a lovin' feelin'
But, baby, you keep concealin' what I want to know,
What I want to know.
Do something to me, I've got to find love in a hurry.
C'mon, do something to me, help me to ease all the worry.

It should be so easy.
You got me where you want me, baby.
You love me till you get me crazy, c'mon!

Do something to me, I've got to find love in a hurry.
C'mon, do something to me, help me to ease all the worry.
(repeat until fade out)

Look over yonder
What do you see?
The sun is a-risin'
Most definitely
A new day is comin', whoo-hoo
People are changin'
Ain't it beautiful, whoo-hoo
Crystal blue persuasion

Better get ready
Gonna see the light
Love, love is the answer, whoo-hoo
And that's all right
So don't you give up now, whoo-hoo
It's so easy to find
Just look to your soul (Look to your soul)
And open your mind

Crystal blue persuasion
Mm-hmm
It's a new vibration
Crystal blue persuasion
Crystal
Blue persuasion

Maybe tomorrow
When he looks down
On every green field, whoo-hoo
And every town
All of his children
In every nation
There'll be peace and good
Brotherhood
Crystal blue persuasion
Yeah

Crystal blue persuasion, aha
Crystal blue persuasion, aha
Crystal blue persuasion, aha (Oh)
Crystal blue persuasion, aha
Crystal blue persuasion, aha
Crystal blue persuasion, aha
Crystal blue persuasion, aha

Oh, the night is slipping away, femme jolie, femme jolie
And there's still so much left to say, femme jolie, femme jolie
Oh, we haven't got time, 'cause I'll be gone in the sunshine.

Oh my love, you've been good to me, femme jolie, femme jolie
I could love you so easily, femme jolie, femme jolie
Oh, what can I do now? Then I'm tellin' you now.

I'm only sugar on Sunday, I'm leavin' on Monday,
Only got one day to love me, yeah.
Sugar on sunday, I'm leavin' on Monday,
But I'll be your man tonight.

And the night is never to wait, femme jolie, femme jolie
Love me now, before it's too late, femme jolie, femme jolie
But we haven't got time, I'll be gone in the sunshine.

I'm only sugar on Sunday, I'm leavin' on Monday,
Only got one day to love me, yeah.
Sugar on sunday, I'm leavin' on Monday,
But I'll be your man tonight.

Oh, sugar on Sunday, I'm leavin' on Monday,
Only got one day to love me, yeah.
(repeat until fade out)

Now, now, now, I know how you feel inside,
Someone you love took you for a ride,
You better tell him it's all over,
Girl, you know that I'll be standin' by, yes, I will.
Better hear what I say, uh-huh,
Breakaway.

Baby, you know he ain't no good for you,
That he don't love you the way I do.
Can't you see you'll get hurt now?
That he can't give you love that he don't have? No, no.
Girl, it's better this way, come on,
Breakaway, baby.

Now, now, if you ever need a helping hand,
Turn around, baby, here I am.
Now, I've been lovin' you such a long time,
Watchin' you throw your sweet, sweet love away, uh-huh.
Better hear what I say, uh-huh,
Breakaway.

Hey!
Come on baby.
You got to hear me, babe, come breakaway.
You got to hear me now, so breakaway!
C'mon, yeah!
Hey!

Roamin' down smokey roads,
I'm roamin' down lonely roads.
I came back to take a look at my childhood,
But all I found was a big stack of plywood,
And a whole bunch of people I don't even know, uh-huh.

Roamin' down smokey roads,
I'm roamin' by lonely roads.
Ain't it funny how you wanna come back again,
To the old home town that you left when you were ten,
And maybe even bump into an old time friend?
(Spoken) Ain't nothin' here for me.

Roamin' down smokey roads,
Mm, I'm stollin' down smokey roads.

I'm alive!
And I see things mighty clear today, I'm alive!
I'm alive!
And I'm breathin' clean, fresh air today, I'm alive!

I'm alive!
Who cares if my hair is a little bit long, I'm alive!
I'm alive!
And I'm doin' my thing and singin' my song, I'm alive!

I'm real!
I can see and touch and taste and feel and I'm alive!
I'm a man!
And I'm red and yellow and black and tan, I'm a man!

Oh
Now I don't hardly know her
But I think I could love her
Crimson and clover

Ah
I wish she'd come walking over
Now I've been waiting to show her
Crimson and clover
Over and over

Yes (Da-da, da-da, da-da)
My, my, such a sweet thing (Da-da, da-da, da-da)
I want to do everything (Da-da, da-da, da-da)
What a beautiful feeling (Da-da, da-da, da-da)
Crimson and clover (Da-da, da-da, da-da)
Over and over

Crimson and clover, over and over
Crimson and clover, over and over
Crimson and clover, over and over
Crimson and clover, over and over
Crimson and clover, over and over
Crimson and clover, over and over
