Tommy James And The Shondells Album

I was so downhearted, baby, till I met with you.
Oh, you took me, took me, out of the blue.
You shook me, shook me, out of the blue.

Out of the blue into your arms,
Oh, I came out of the blue, leavin' the pain behind.
Just as if the rain was fallin', you came into view.
Oh, you took me, took me, out of the blue.
You shook me, shook me, out of the blue.

Out of the blue into a love,
So real, yeah! Out of the blue, how very strange it feels.
Everything was so unproven, till you pulled me through.
Oh, you took me, took me, out of the blue.
You shook me, shook me, out of the blue.

[doo doo-doo doo doo, doo-doo doo doo]
You passed my way, I asked your name.
And since that day I'm not the same.
I fell so hard for you, for every little part of you.

Oh, out of the blue into your arms,
Oh, I came out of the blue into your love just in time.
Everything was so unproven, till you pulled me through.
Oh, you took me, took me, out of the blue
You shook me, shook me, out of the blue.

Out of the blue, baby, you took me out of the blue
Out of the blue, baby, you shook me out of the blue

Gettin' together is better than ever
Gettin' together

I am so happy, baby
Now that you are my lady
We can hold hands together
Every day, come what may
I promise you I'll always
Give you my lovin' always
You can depend on me girl
All the time, rain or shine

You're gonna love it
I'm gonna love it
Day time, night time
Your time, my time

Gettin' together is better than ever
Gettin' together never felt like this before
Gettin' together is better than ever
Gettin' together

You bring me new excitement
I never knew what night meant
We got a thing together
very few ever knew
You can be sure of one thing
All of the love that I bring
I'm gonna keep you happy
All the time rain or shine

You're gonna love it
I'm gonna love it
Day time, night time
Your time, my time

Gettin' together is better than ever
Gettin' together never felt like this before
Gettin' together is better than ever
Gettin' together

Gettin' together is better than ever
Gettin' together never felt like this before
Gettin' together is better than ever
Gettin' together

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 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)

Something is happening inside me.
Something is starting to excite me.
Think I'm on the edge of disaster.
I think I feel my heart beating faster
Every time I look at you;
Every time I see you looking, too.

Chorus
Love's closin' in on me and I can feel it.
Love's closin' in on me and I can feel it.
Love's closin' in on, yeah, it's closin' in on
Love is closin' in on me.

Seems as if I'm losin' control of
Feelings inside I'm trying not to show; love
Could be a groovy situation.
I get a new sensation
Every time I look at you;
Every time I see you looking, too.
repeat chorus


Every time I look at you;
Every time I see you looking, too.
Love's closin' in on me and I can feel it.
repeat until fade out

"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

(Real girl, real girl)
Real girl (real girl),
real girl (real girl).

You are unique, unlike the girls I've known, (real girl),
Incomplete, and nothing on their own.
Now I know what I was searchin' for.
Real girl ((Real girl, real girl)

Your shining hair that sways as we walk by, (real girl),
Turned up nose and eyes so big and shiny
Makes me feel so proud that you are mine

Chorus:
You turn me on.
You're someone so fresh and so new.
Don't ever change, 'cause you're real
And I'd know I'd be lost if you do.
You're a real girl (real girl).

Other girls are put on and untrue, (real girl),
You're sincere in everything you do.
Don't you stop, just stay the way you are.

repeat chorus

You are unique, unlike the girls I've known, (real girl),
Incomplete, and nothing on their own.
Now I know what I was lookin' for:
You're a real girl (real girl).

Real girl (real girl).

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

[No lyrics]

You can't laugh. You can't cry.
You're actin' kinda funny and you don't know why.
'Cause your heart keeps beatin' like a big, bass drum.
And the beat's gettin' stronger, and it's so much fun.
And you keep on singin', but the words are wrong.
And you can't stop laughin', baby, what's goin' on?

Chorus
It's only love tryin' to get through.
It's only love tryin' to get through.
It's only love tryin' to get through.

You can't run. You can't hide.
No matter what you do, you're on a ten-cent ride.
Goin' up, down, baby, and it's so much fun.
And your heart keeps beatin' like a big, bass drum.
And the beat's gettin' stronger, and it just won't quit.
Better hold on, baby, 'cause you know that it's

I saw her walking on down the line.
You know I saw her for the very first time.
A pretty little girl standing all alone.
Hey baby, can I take you home?
I never saw her, never really saw her.
