Lyrics


1. YOU ARE MY ONE DESIRE

You are my one desire
You set my heart on fire

Your eyes, your lips and your smile
They make my life so worthwhile

You'll never know, how much I love you
If you will be my own, I will be true

You are my one desire
You set my heart on fire

You'll never know, how much I love you
If you will be my own, I will be true

You are my one desire
You set my heart on fire


2. BLUE DAYS- BLACK NIGHTS

Blue days, black nights
Blue tears keep on fallin' for you dear, now you're gone
Blue days, black nights
My heart keeps on calling for you dear and you alone

Memories of you make me sorry
I gave you reason to doubt me
But now you're gone and I am left here all alone
With blue memories, I think of you

Blue days, black nights
I didn't realize I would miss you, the way I do
And now somehow I know I will pay
For the times I have made you blue

Memories of you make me sorry
I gave you reason to doubt me
But now you're gone and I am left here all alone
With blue memories, I think of you


3. MODERN DON JUAN

Well, I ain't nothin' but a man in love
I ain't nothin' but a man in love
The girls they say I'm their only one
They even say I'm a modern Don Juan

Well, there ain't but a-one thing puzzlin' me
I got a girl and she can't see
I want only to make her mine
Well, she thinks I'm just handing her a line

Oh, I love her so
I'll never, ever let her go

Well, ain't nothin' but a man in love

Oh, girl on my mind
Please come back to me
I love you with all my heart
With you I want to be
I want you to be near me
Is that too much to ask?
Oh, girl on my mind
Please say you will be mine

You are the one and the only
You are mine to have and to love
No one could ask for more
You're mine to adore
Girl on my mind

You are mine to have and to love
No one could ask for more

7. THAT'LL BE THE DAY

Well that'll be the day when you say goodbye
Yeah, yes that'll be the day when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave me, you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die

Well, you gave me all your loving
And all your turtle doving
All your hugs and kisses
And your money too, well

You know you love me, baby
Still you tell me maybe
That somebody, well
I'll be through

Well, that'll be the day when you say goodbye
Yeah, yes, that'll be the day when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die

Well, that'll be the day when you say goodbye
Yeah, yes, that'll be the day when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die

Well, when cupid shot his dart
He shot it at your heart
So if we'll ever part
And I'll leave you

You say and hold me
And you tell me boldly
That some day well
I'll be through

Well, that'll be the day when you say goodbye
Yeah, yes, that'll be the day when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die

Well, that'll be the day
Well, that'll be the day

9. I'M CHANGING ALL THOSE CHANGES

I-I-I should have reconsidered all those things I said I'd do
So now I'm changing all those changes
That I made when I left you

Sweetheart I'm changing all those changes
That I made when I left you
Because I made those changes when I thought you were untrue

A-but now you're gone I've found I'm wrong
And there's a-nothing I can do
Except to change up all those changes
That I made when I left you

I-I-I didn't stop to thi-ink, I just left without a care
And now I know I'm wrong and I can't find you anywhere
I should have reconsidered all those things I said I'd do
So now I'm changing all those changes
That I made when I left you


10. DON'T COME BACK KNOCKIN'

Well, I found you're a rover
And it's made me blue
Like a talent scout
You want some love that's new

Don't come back knockin'
At my heart's closed door
For I won't be home
Don't call an' knock no more

Well, when you went away
And left me all alone
While you played around
I waited at home

Don't come back knockin'
At my heart's closed door
For I won't be home
Don't call an' knock no more

You had all my heart
It was your very own
You weren't satisfied
Now, I'll go on alone

Don't come back knockin'
At my heart's closed door
For I won't be home
Don't call an' knock no more

Oh, let's really knock it this time boys

Well, pity those with hearts
So empty and cold
To never know true love
A treasure to hold

Don't come back knockin'
At my heart's closed door
For I won't be home
Don't call an' knock no more


11. MIDNIGHT SHIFT

Well, if you see old Annie, better give her a lift
'Cause Annie's been a workin' on a midnight shift
If Annie puts her hair up on her head
Paints them lips up bright, bright red

Wears that dress that fits real tight
Starts stayin' out 'til the middle of the night
Says that a friend gave her a lift
Well, Annie's been a workin' on a midnight shift

If she acts a little funny, seems a little strange
Starts spendin' your money for brand new things
Tells you that she wants to use the car

Never explains what she wants it for
Brother, there just ain't no 'Ifs'
'Cause Annie's been a workin' on a midnight shift

Well, early in the morning when the sun comes up
You look at old Annie and she looks kinda rough
You tell her, ‽Honey, get on out of that bed”

She says, ‽Leave me alone, I'm just about dead”
Brother, there just ain't no 'Ifs'
'Cause Annie's been a workin' on a midnight shift

If you got a good mama that's stayin' at home
You'd better enjoy it 'cause it won't last long
When you think everything's all right

She starts slippin' round in the middle of the night
Brother, there just ain't no 'Ifs'
'Cause Annie's been a workin' on a midnight shift
