I Was A Lover , A Leader Of Man

Ah, ah, ah, ah ..

I was a lover , a leader of me

All of the women I knew were my friends

I was so happy ,my feet on the ground

I didn't know I was on the way down

'cause you don't feel the same

It's only a game , it's only a game , it's only a game

 

Ah, ah , ah , ah ..

I had a billion or two in the bank

I gave to charity , ain't got no thanks

You gave me all that a woman could give

Less you're affection , I don't want to live

'cause you don't feel the same

It's only a game , it's only a game , it's only a game

 

(break)

'cause you don't feel the same

 

I was a lover , a leader of me

All of the women I knew were my friends

I was so happy , my feet on the ground

I didn't know , I was on the way down

'cause you don't feel the same

It's only a game , it's only a game , it's only a game

 

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...

 

 

Follow The Wind

I'm so weary from holding this load

But it's only , love for you, that I walk this lonely road

I must follow the wind , follow the wind

And the wind will take me hold before the cold

 

Ev'ry stay I have counted

Each flower I have seen

But the place where I'm going , there's no grass as green

I must follow the wind , follow the wind

And the wind will take me home where I can dream

 

In the hour I am lonely, you're love will be mine

I will stay in your arms dear, until comes the time

I must be on my way for my home is anywhere

I have no time to stay , I have no time to care

I must follow the wind , follow the wind

As the wind gently blows in my hair

 

(break)

 

I must follow the wind , follow the wind

As the wind gently blows in my hair

I must follow the wind , follow the wind

As the wind gently blows in my hair

 

 

Claustrophobia

I'd like to be the one to see your loving mind at the start

But I get claustrophobia 'cause there's too many boys in your heart

I'd like to know how far you'd go to use those lips of wine

But I get claustrophobia 'cause there's too many boys on your mind

 

Oh, one ,two, three and now there's me

You practice to deceive

You lead me on , another one

I've got no room to breathe

 

So byebye you who can't be true ,I'm leaving you behind

'Cause I get claustrophobia 'cause there's too many boys on your mind

 

(break)

I get claustrophobia 'cause there's too many boys on your mind

 

Oh, one, two, three and now there's me

You practice to deceive

You lead me on , another one

I've got no room to breathe

 

So byebye you who can't be true , I'm leaving you behind

'Cause I get claustrophobia 'cause there's too many boys on your mind

Too many boys on your mind

Too many boys on your mind

 

 

Take Hold Of That Star

Take hold of that star , I give to you

And tell me that you love me

Just as I love you la la la la

Take hold of that star , and put it in your locket

And tell me that you love me

Just as I love you la la la la

 

I'd give you the moon, or the sun

or the starlights with a love so true

And if it rains, I'll give you a rainbow too

 

Take hold of that star and put it in your locket

And tell me that you love me

Just as I love you la la la la

 

I'd give you the moon , or the sun

or the starlights with a love so true

And if it rains , I'll give you a rainbow too

 

Take hold of that star and put it in your locket

And tell me that you love me

Just as I love you la lala lala lala

la lala lala lala

la lala as I love you

 

  

Could It Be

Look at me , I don't know what I'm doin'

ever since I looked at you

How did I get this crazy feelin'

Could it be , I'm in love with you

 

Ever since I saw you in the moonlight

I've had this feeling through and through

Since that time , I haven't done a thing right

Could it be , I'm in love with you

 

Golly gee , I don't know where I'm goin'

I'm tryin' to make you see

Oh boy, I got to make her fall in love with me , oh

 

Night after night , I'm always dreamin'

Why don't you make those dreams come true

Can't you see how much I really love you

Why don't you learn to love me too

 

(break)

 

Golly gee , I don't know where I'm goin'

I'm tryin' to make you see

Oh boy, I got to make her fall in love with me

 

Night after night , I'm always dreamin'

Why don't you make those dreams come true

Can't you see how much I really love you

Why don't you learn to love me too

Love me too

Love me too

 

 

To Be Or Not To Be

You build me up , you let me down

How can I love , you give me no ground

To be or not to be , to be ore not to be

Am I gonna have you for me

 

One little light I saw before

The light in your eyes, I don't see no more

To be or not to be , to be or not to be

Am I gonna have you for me , Well

 

(break)

 

Give me a chance . Make up your mind

Give me romance . Tell me you're mine

To be or not to be ,well, to be or not to be

Am I gonna have you for me , Well

 

(break)

 

Well, to be or not to be

Well, to be or not to be

To be or not to be

Am gonna have you for me

Cherry Red

Where are you

Cherry red , sweeter than the honeycomb

Sweeter still when we're alone

Cherry red, my cherry red

 

Turquoise green , greener than the deeper sea

Greener still when she's with me

Cherry red , my cherry red

 

I wonder why (wonder why)

The stars that night shine big and bright for me

I wonder why (wonder why)

She's true to me the way that she will always be

 

Cherry red , sweeter than the honeycomb

Sweeter still when we're alone

Cherry red , my cherry red

 

(break)

 

I wonder why (wonder why)

The stars that night shine big and bright for me

I wonder why (wonder why)

She's true to me the way that she will always be

 

Cherry red , sweeter than the honeycomb

Sweeter still when we're alone

Cherry red, my cherry red

 

 

All Of My Life

There are times that I should go away

to think of you and I

For it isn't only now ,I need your love

All of my life , all of my life

 

In the night time when I lie awake

and think of you in my heart

For it isn't only now , I need your love

All of my life , all of my life

 

Oh wouldn't you believe me if I told you

that I love you , and I do

Ev'ryone believes me when I tell them

Why don't you , why don't you

 

When I think of things that ought to be

and I feel your hand in mine

Yes it isn't only now , I need your love

All of my life , all of my life

 

La......

All of my life , all of my life

 

Oh wouldn't you believe if I told you

that I love you , and I do

Ev'ryone believes me when I tell them

Why don't you , why don't you

 

When I think of things that ought to be

and I feel your hand in mine

Yes it isn't only now , I need your love

All of my life , all of my life

All of my life

All of my life

All of my life

 

 

Don't Say Goodbye

Please believe me , I will never be untrue

And don't believe the jealous lies they told to you

Oh no , don't go , don't make this poor boy cry

I'll be true , I beg of you , don't say goodbye

 

Now don't you know I love you more than I can say

And it would mean my life if you should run away

Oh no , don't go , don't make this poor boy cry

I'll be true , I beg of you , don't say goodbye

 

You just won't listen to my pleas

You want me beggin' on my knees

 

So sit right down and listen while I beg , you see

I'll never be untrue , so please believe in me

Oh no , don't go , don't make this poor boy cry

I'll be true , I beg of you , don't say goodbye

I'll be true , I beg of you , don't say goodbye
