Tommy James And The Shondells Album

"Children, behave"
That's what they say when we're together
"And watch how you play"
They don't understand

And so we're running just as fast as we can
Holding on to one another's hand
Trying to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
As we tumble to the ground and then you say

I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound

Look at the way
We gotta hide what we're doing
'Cause what would they say
If they ever knew

And so we're running just as fast as we can
Holding on to one another's hand
Trying to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
As we tumble to the ground and then you say

I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound

I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now

Look at you, look at me,
Look at all the things you doubt now.
That's not how love should be,
Baby, let it all come out now.
Some people say there are games you should play, but it's not true.
Don't waste your time; there's no rhyme; love is blind so we got to
Trust each other in love
And we can't stop believing for a single day.
We got to trust each other in love.
Oh, take my hand, can't you see it's the only way?

Look at me, look at you,
If you open up your eyes, girl.
You will find love is true
And it has no room for lies, girl.
When you're in love there are things to think of that you can't do.
Don't be in doubt; talk it out; that's about all you can do.
Trust each other in love
And we can't stop believing for a single day.
We got to trust each other in love.
Oh, take my hand, can't you see it's the only way?

Trust each other in love
And we can't stop believing for a single day.
We got to trust each other in love.
Oh, take my hand, can't you see it's the only way?

Chorus
What I'd give to see your face again,
Feel the warmth of your embrace again,
Put my arms around your waist again.
It's so hard to be in love!

I remember how it used to be
And now it seems there's nothing left for me,
Just your picture and a memory,
And you're never coming back.
Chorus

If you only knew the misery,
The sleepless nights that have been haunting me,
Tears that fill my eyes so I can't see
'Cause you're never coming home!
Chorus

Repeat chorus and fade

Baby let me down;
She used to talk with me, but baby let me down.
She was such fun to be with,
Parting words she'd never make a sound.
I kinda think baby let me down, baby let me down.

Baby let me down;
She used to bring me up, but baby let me down.
I guess it's just my tough luck,
Has never been a thing I found,
And so I think baby let me down, baby let me down.

Baby let me down;
She was my closest friend, but baby let me down.
I never thought she'd end,
It has been so long since she's been 'round,
I kinda think baby let me down, baby let me down.

Baby let me down, baby let me down. (repeat until fade out)

All by your self,
standing alone,
no company.
Wiping a tear,
off of your eye.
So broken up,
where could he be?

Oh I knew that he would leave you in the end,
So I hung around and acted like a friend,

Oh I can't bear,
to see you,
Standing there
alone and crying
no one cares that,
love is dying,
hard for you

Run run baby run to me
now is not the time to be strong
Run run run baby run to me
(Just let it happen)
Run baby run

Oh how it hurts,
Nothing but pain
That's all you feel,
What a surprise
Now that he's gone,
You allways thought
his love was real

Oh I knew that he would leave you in the end
So I hung around and acted like a friend

You mean so much to me
That I cant bear
to see you crying
Living in a world
that's dying
hard for you.

Run run baby run to me
Now is not the time to be strong
Run run run baby run to me
(Just let it happen)
Run baby run

Run run baby run to me
(Run baby run)
Run run run baby run to me
(Run baby run)
Run run baby run to me
(Run baby run)
Run run run baby run to me
(Run baby run)
(Fade out)

I see you standing in the alleys and the hallways
(Wait a second)
You're gone now
I run to touch you, but you vanish through the doorway
And, oh, how
Hard it is to live without you
I love everything about you
Now I know you're really gone
But my imagination is so strong
That I see you coming into view
And your face is telling me that you
Oh, yeah, oh, want to be by my side
Oh, yeah, oh, now it's finally time
(Wait a second)

Mirage, that's all you are to me
Mirage, something I only see

So I keep walking through the alleys and the hallways
Where are you?
I keep remembering the kissing in the doorways
The car, too
How it all comes back to me
The movies every Saturday
The place we used to go to eat
I want so much to have it like it used to be
That I see you coming into view
And your face is telling me that you
Oh, yeah, oh, want to be by my side
Oh, yeah, oh, now it's finally time
(Here it comes again)

Mirage, that's all you are to me
Mirage, something I only see

Just a mirage, that's all you are to me
Just a mirage, something that I only see
Just a mirage, that's all you are to me
Just a mirage, something that I only see

I like the way, you call my name
It sounds so nice
I could never explain
I like the way, you hold my hand
It lets me know that you understand
I like the way, you wanna kiss me
And I like the way, you always miss me

I like the way (I like the way)

I like the way, you come around
To cheer me up, whenever I'm down
I like the way, you make me feel
The love we have, is so very real
I like the way, you wanna kiss me
And I like the way, you always miss me

I like the way (I like the way)

I like the way, we kiss goodnight
It feels so good when you're holding me tight
I like the way, you wanna kiss me
And I like the way, you always miss me

I like the way (I like the way)

I like the way
Oh I like the way
I like the way
Oh I like the way
(fade)

I'm goin' out West where I belong,
Where the days are short and the nights are long.

Chorus
Well, they walk and I walk,
They twist and I'll twist,
They shim and I'll shim,
They fly and I'll fly.
Well, they're out there having fun
In the warm California sun.

I'm goin' out West, out on the coast
Where the California girls are really the most.
repeat chorus

The girls are frisky in old Frisco,
A pretty little miss wherever you go.
repeat chorus

You may be right, you may be wrong, girl.
I've been hurtin' much too long, girl.
You know, I think I've finally reached the end,
You keep tellin' me that guy's just a friend.
We've been all through it and you'll do it again.
Don't stand there tellin' me, girl, that you're so sorry
Baby, baby, I can't take it no more.
Baby, baby, I can't take it no more.

You build me up, you let me down, girl.
I'm not the kind to fool around, girl.
If this guy really means so much more
Than all the happiness that we had before,
Just go ahead, girl, and walk out the door.
You know I can't go on, I'd rather see you gone.
Baby, baby, I can't take it no more.
Baby, baby, I can't take it no more.

Baby, baby, I can't take it no more.
Baby, baby, I can't take it no more.
repeat until fade out

I can't help laughing at the fool I've been
And should I see you out with him, oh yeah,
I'll keep on laughing 'cause it's funny now.
It used to make me cry, but

Chorus
Gone, gone, gone is all my love for you
And the love that is gone, gone, gone has found someone new.
Ooo, baby.

The word in town is that I still love you
And, girl, we know this isn't true, oh yeah,
You got a new love, at least be good to him.
I hate to leave you girl, but
repeat chorus until fade out

You know you make me wanna
Come on now, come on now,
Come on now, come on now.
Oh, let's shout now,
Hey, let's shout now,
Oh, let's shout now,
Hey, let's shout now.
Say you will, say it right now.
Baby, say you will, come on, come on.
Say you will, say it again.
Say you will, come on now.
Say that you love me.
Say, say that you need me.
Say, say that you want me.
Say you want to please me.

Come on now, come on now,
Come on now, come on now.
Repeat and fade
