The Stylistics

Betcha By Golly Wow

There's a spark of magic in your eyes
Candyland appears each time you smile
Never thought that fairy tales came true
But they come true when I'm near you
You're a genie in disguise
Full of wonder and surprise

And betcha by golly, wow
You're the one that I've been waiting for forever
And ever will my love for you keep growin' strong
Keep growin' strong

If I could I'd catch a falling star
To shine on you so I'll know where you are
Order rainbows in your favorite shade
To show I love you, thinking of you
Write your name across the sky
Anything you ask I'll try, 'cause

Betcha by golly, wow
You're the one that I've been waiting for forever
And ever will my love for you keep growin' strong
Keep growin' strong

Betcha by golly, wow
You're the one that I've been waiting for forever
And ever will my love for you keep growin' strong
Keep growin' strong

Betcha by golly, wow
You're the one that I've been waiting for forever
And ever will my love for you

Break Up To Make Up

Tell me what's wrong with you now, tell me why I
Never seem to make you happy though heaven knows I try
What does it take to please you? Tell me just how
I can satisfy you woman, you're drivin' me wild

Break up to make up, that's all we do
First you love me then you hate me
That's a game for fools
Break up to make up that's all we do
First you love me then you hate me
That's a game for fools

When I come home from workin', you're on the phone
Talkin' about how bad I treat you, now tell me I'm wrong
You say it's me who argues, I'll say it's you
We have got to get together or baby, we're through

Break up to make up, that's all we do
First you love me then you hate me
That's a game for fools
Break up to make up, that's all we do
Yeah, first you love me then you hate me
That's a game for fools

Break up to make up, that's all we do
Yeah, first you love me then you hate me
That's a game for fools

Break up to make up, that's all we do
First you love me then you hate me
That's a game for fools

You Are Everything
Today I saw somebody
Who looked just like you
She walked like you do
I thought it was you
As she turned the corner
I called out your name
I felt so ashamed
When it wasn't you
Wasn't you

You are everything
And everything is you
Whoa-oh, you are everything
And everything is you
Whoa-oh, you are everything
And everything is you

How can I forget
When each face that I see
Brings back memories
Of being with you
I just can't go on
Living life as I do
Comparing each girl to you
Knowing they just won't do
They're not you

You are everything
And everything is you
Whoa-oh, you are everything
And everything is you
Whoa-oh, you are everything
And everything is you

I'm Stone In Love With You

If I could I'd like to be
A great big movie star
Overnight sensation
Drive a big expensive car
I would buy you everything
Your little heart desires
These things I do
'Cause I'm stone in love with you
(Stone in love with you)

If I were a business man
I'd sit behind a desk
I'd be so successful
I would scare Wall Street to death
I would hold a meeting for
The press to let them know
I did it all
'Cause I'm stone in love with you
(Stone in love with you)

I'm just a man, an average man
Doing everything the best I can
But if I could, I'd give the world to you

I'd like to someday be the owner of
The first house on the moon
There would be no neighbors
And no population boom
You might say that all I do
Is dream my life away
I guess it's true
'Cause I'm stone in love with you
I guess it's true
'Cause I'm stone in love with you
I guess it's true
'Cause I'm stone in love with you

You Make Me Feel Brand New

My love, I'll never find the words, my love
To tell you how I feel, my love
Mere words, could not explain

Precious love, you held my life within your hands
Created everything I am
Taught me how to live again

Only you came when I needed a friend
Believed in me through thick and thin
This song is for you
Filled with graditude and love

God bless you
You make me feel brand new
For God bless me with you
You make me feel brand new
I sing this song 'cause you
Make me feel brand new

My love, when ever I was insecure
You built me up and made me sure
You gave, my pride, back to me

Precious friend, with you I'll always have a friend
You're someone who I can depend
To walk a path that sometimes bends

Without you, life has no meaning or rhyme
Like notes to a song out of time
How can I repay
You for havin' faith in me

God bless you
You made me feel brand new
For God bless me with you
You made me feel brand new
I sing this song for you

Rockin' Roll Baby
Tootsie roll soul and doodle-white shoes
Papa's sure proud of his little bitty rockin' roll baby
Singin' at the age of two
He can hardly talk but he sure knows how to sing the blues

Little Joe never sings out of tune
Always in key, he's a soulful little rockin' roll baby
Papa loves the way you do
Never heard a boy sing the way my little Joey do

He was born in a theater in Bluefield, West Virginia
His ma and I were travelin' on the road
I worked hard all that summer as a fill-in for the drummer
One-night stands weren't easy for little Joe

Bought a new house in Beverly Hills
Papa made it big and he did it for his rockin' roll baby
A little bit of rhythm and blues
Got a funky walk in his little orthopedic shoes

He was born in a theater in Bluefield, West Virginia
His ma and I were travelin' on the road
I worked hard all that summer as a fill-in for the drummer
One-night stands weren't easy for little Joe

Hey There Lonely Girl

Hey there lonely girl, lonely girl
Let me make your broken heart like new
Hey there lonely girl, lonely girl
Don't you know this lonely boy loves you?

Ever since he broke your heart
You seem so lost
Each time you pass my way
Oh how I long to take your hand
And say "don't cry, I'll kiss your tears away"
Hey, hey, hey...

Lonely girl, my lonely girl
Let me make your broken heart like new
Hey there lonely girl, lonely girl
Don't you know this lonely boy loves you?

You think that only his two lips
Can kiss your lips
And make your heart stand still
But once you're in my arms you'll see
No one can kiss
Your lips the way I will
The way I will

Hey there lonely girl, lonely girl
Let me make your broken heart like new
Hey there lonely girl, lonely girl
Don't you know this lonely boy loves you?
Don't you know this lonely boy loves you?

Stop, Look, Listen (To Your Heart)

You're alone all time
Does it ever puzzle you
Have you asked why
You seem to fall in love and out again
Do you ever really love, or just pretend

Why fool yourself
Don't be afraid to help yourself
It's never too late, too late to...

Stop, look, listen to your heart
Hear what it's saying
Stop, look, listen to your heart
Hear what it's saying
Love, love, love

Though you try, you can't hide
All the things you really feel
This time decide that you will open up, let it in
There's no shame in sharing love you keep within

Why fool yourself
Don't be afraid to help yourself
It's never too late, too late to...

Stop, look, listen to your heart
Hear what it's saying
Stop, look, listen to your heart
Hear what it's saying
Love, love, love

Have You Seen Her

One month ago today
I was happy as alark
But now, I go for walks
To the movies... maybe to the park
I have a seat on the same old bench
To watch the children play
You know, tomorrow's their future
But for me, just another day
They all gather 'round me, they seem to know my name
We laugh, tell a few jokes... but it still doesn't ease my pain
I know I can't hide from the memories
Though day after day I've tried
I keep saying, "She'll be back..."
But today again I've lied

Oh... I see her face everywhere I go
On the street and even at the picture show
Have you seen her?
Tell me have you seen her?
Oh I hear her voice as the cold winds blow
And the sweet music on the radio
Have you seen her?
Tell me have you seen her?

Why, oh why did she have to leave and go away?
Oh, I've been used to havin' someone to lean on
And I'm lost, baby I'm lost

Have you seen her?
Tell me have you seen her?
Have you seen her?
Tell me have you seen her?

She left her kiss upon my lips
But left the break with in my heart
Have you seen her?
Tell me have you seen her?

Oh I see her hand reaching out to me
Only she can set me free
Have you seen her?
Tell me have you seen her?

Why, oh why did she have to leave and go away? oh yeah
Oh, I've been used to havin' someone to lean on
And I'm lost, baby I'm lost

Have you seen her?
Tell me have you seen her?

As another day comes to an end
I'm lookin' for a letter, or something
Anything that she would send
With all the people I know
I'm still a lonely man
You know, it's funny
I thought I had her in the palm of my hand

Have you seen her?
Tell me have you seen her?

Have you seen her?
Tell me have you seen her?

You'll Never Get To Heaven (If You Break My Heart)

Mother told me always to follow the golden rule
And she said it's really a sin to be mean and cruel
So remember if you're untrue
Angels up in heaven are looking at you

You'll never get to heaven if you break my heart
So be very careful not to make us part
You won't get to heaven if you break my heart

I've been hearin' rumors about how you play around
Though I don't believe what I hear, still it gets me down
If you ever should say goodbye
I'd feel so awful the angels would cry

You'll never get to heaven if you break my heart
So be very careful not to make us part
You won't get to heaven if you break my heart, oh no


If you break my heart, if you break my heart

I can hardly wait for the day when we say I do
It's a day I dreamed of so long now comin' true
You will promise to cherish me
If you break your promise the angels will see

You'll never get to heaven if you break my heart
So be very careful not to make us part
You won't get to heaven if you break my heart

La, la, la, la, la, la, laaaaa, la, la, la, laaaaa, la, la, la, laaaaa
La, la, la, la, la, la, laaaaa, la, la, la, laaaaa, la, la, la, laaaaa
La, la, la, la, la, la, laaaaa, la, la, la, laaaaa...

Didn't I Blow Your Mind This Time

I gave my heart and soul to you girl
Didn't I do it baby? Didn't I do it baby?
Gave you the love you never knew girl
Didn't I do it baby? Didn't I do it baby?

I tried so many times and that's no lie
It seems to make you laugh each time I cry

Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I?
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I?

Listen
I thought that heart of yours was true, girl
Now didn't I think it baby? Didn't I think it baby?
But this time I really needed you girl
Didn't you know it baby? Didn't you know it baby?

Ten times or more, yes, I walked out that door
Get this thing through your head, there'll be no more

Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I?
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I?

Didn't I do it baby? Didn't I do it baby?
Didn't I do it baby? Didn't I do it baby?

Ten times or more, yes, I walked out that door
Get this thing through your head, there'll be no more

Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I?
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I?
I got to leave you baby!
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I?
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I?

Peak-A-Boo

Every single day
As you pass this way
I know just what to say
But I can't find the words to tell you
Each and every day
My love grows and grows
More than before
So maybe I'll just say....

Oh, peak-a-boo
Guess who's watching you
Oh, peak-a-boo
Guess who's loving you
Oh, peak-a-boo
Guess who's watching you

Can't you realize as you pass me by
The love that's in my heart
So what's keeping us apart?
Even though I know I will win your heart
I'll wait just one more day just to see you

Oh, peak-a-boo
Guess who's watching you
Oh, peak-a-boo
Guess who's loving you
Oh, peak-a-boo
Guess who's watching you

I'll wait just one more day just to see you

Oh, peak-a-boo
Guess who's watching you
Oh, peak-a-boo
Guess who's loving you
Oh, peak-a-boo
Guess who's watching you

Could It Be I'm Falling In Love

Since I met you I've began to feel so strange
Every time I speak your name (that's right)
You say that you are so helpless too
That you don't know what to do
Each night I pray there will never come a day
When you up and take your love away
I pray you feel the same way too
And I what it is I feel for you, ooh

Could it be I'm falling in love (with you baby?)
Could it be I'm falling in love (oooh)
Could it be I'm falling in love with you, with you, with you, with you

I don't need all those things that used to bring me joy
You make me such a happy boy
And honey you'll always be the only one for me
Meeting you was my destiny
You can be sure I will never let you down
When you need me I'll be around
And darlin' you'll always be the only one for me
Heaven made you specially

Could it be I'm falling in love (with you baby)
Could it be I'm falling in love (ooh)
Could it be I'm falling in love with you, with you, with you, with you

And darling you'll always be the only one for me
Heaven made you specially

Could it be I'm falling in love (with you baby)
Could it be I'm falling in love (I wanna know now baby)
Could it be I'm falling in love with you, with you, with you, with you
Could it be I'm falling in love
Could it be I'm falling in love
Could it be I'm falling in love
Could it be I'm falling in love
Could it be I'm falling in love
Could it be I'm falling in love

Star On A TV Show

Why I love you so

Racing along with the sun
If you were a song then the country would sing along
Baby you'd be number one
If you were the news you'd be the latest
What I'm trying to say is baby you're the greatest
