GERRY AND THE PACEMAKERS Lyrics
YOU'RE THE REASON
(Edwards/Henley/Imes/Fell)
You're the reason I can't sleep at night
Well, I lay here at night, I toss and I turn,
I知 lovin' you so, how my heart yearns,
And baby, you're the reason I don't sleep at night.
Well, I知 walkin' the floor, I知 feeling so blue,
Smoke cigarettes, and think of we two,
Oh baby, you're the reason I can't sleep at night.
I'm bettin' you're not losin' sleep over me,
But now then if I'm wrong don't fail to call,
Come over and keep me company.
Sometimes I go for a walk, look at the moon,
Strum my guitar, sing out of tune,
Oh baby, you're the reason I don稚 sleep at night.
Well, I知 walkin' the floor, I知 feeling so blue,
Smoke cigarettes, and drink all day, too,
Strum my guitar, look at the moon,
I知 losing my sleep over you
Oh, I'm bettin' you're not losin' sleep over me,
But now then if I'm wrong don't fail to call,
Come over and keep me company.
Sometimes I go for a walk, I look at the moon,
strum my guitar and sing out of tune,
Baby, you're the reason I can't sleep at night.
Well I said, I知 walkin' the floor, I知 feeling so blue,
Smoke cigarettes, and drink all day, too,
Strum my guitar, look at the moon,
I知 losing my sleep over you
you're the reason Whoa-a you're the reason
you're the reason I don稚 sleep at night.
WHY OH WHY
You passed me by
Oh, you made me sigh
Oh why, oh why, oh why?
You call my name
You池e drivin me insane
Oh why, oh why, oh why?
What is this certain thing about you
That makes my poor heart feel this way?
You came along and I was captured
That was my lucky day
You call my name
You池e drivin me insane
Oh why, oh why, oh why?
-Solo-
Well, you call my name
You池e drivin me insane
Oh why, oh why, oh why?
Oh why, oh why, oh why?
Oh why, oh why, oh why?

A SHOT OF RHYTHM AND BLUES
Let痴 have a little bit of rhythm Woo!
And a little bit of blues now
And now the swingin bass guitar one time
And what you got called rhythm and blues
So, if your hands start a-clappin'
And your fingers start a-poppin'
And your feet start a-movin' around
And if you start to swing and sway
When the band starts to play
A real cool way out sounds
And if you get to can't help it and you can't sit down
You feel like you gotta move around
You get a shot of rhythm and blues.
With just a little rock and roll on the side
Just for good measure.
Get a pair of dancin' shoes
Well, with your lover by your side
Then you know you're gonna have a lot of pleasure!
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
You start to dance and sing
Untill chills don稚 come up on you
And if the rhythm finally gets you and the beat gets you too
Well, here's something for you to do Come on!
I need a shot of rhythm and blues
With just a little rock and roll on the side
Just for good measure
Get a pair of dancin' shoes
Well, with your lover by your side
Then you know you're gonna have a lot of pleasure!
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
If you start to dance and sing
Untill chills don稚 come up on you
And if the rhythm finally gets you and the beat gets you too
Here's something for you to do
Here's something for you to do
One time!
Get a shot of rhythm and blues
Hey! rhythm and blues now!!!
REELIN AND ROCKIN
Sometimes I do, then again I think I don't.

MAYBELLINE
(Chuck Berry)
Maybelline, why can't you be true?
Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true?
You gotta start a-back doing the things you used to do
As I was motivatin' over the hill
I saw Maybelline in a coup de ville
A Cadillac a-rollin' on the open road
Nothin' will outrun my V8 Ford
The cadillac doin' 'bout ninety-five
She's bumper to bumber rollin' side by side
Maybelline, why can't you be true?
Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true?
You gotta start a-back doing the things you used to do
The Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford
The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more
It then got cloudy and it started to rain
I tooted my horn for a passin' lead
The rain water blowin' all under my hood
I knew that was doin' my motor good
Maybelline, why can't you be true?
Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true?
You gotta start a-back doing the things you used to do
Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true?
Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true?
You gotta start a-back doing the things you used to do
- Solo
Maybelline, why can't you be true?
Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true?
You've started back doing the things you used to do
The motor cooled down, the heat went down
And that's when I heard that highway sound
The Cadillac a-sittin' like a ton of lead
A hundred and ten a half a mile ahead
The Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' still
And I caught Maybelline at the top of the hill
Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true?
Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true?
You gotta start a-back doing the things you used to do
DON'T LET THE SUN CATCH YOU CRYING
(Marsden - Marsden - Chadwick - Maguire)
Don't let the sun catch you cryin'
The night's the time for all your tears
Your heart may be broken tonight
But tomorrow in the morning light
Don't let the sun catch you cryin'
The night-time shadows disappear
And with them go all your tears
For the morning will bring joy
For every girl and boy
So don't let the sun catch you cryin'
We know that cryin's not a bad thing
But stop your cryin' when the birds sing
It may be hard to discover
That you've been left for another
But don't forget that love's a game
And it can always come again
Oh don't let the sun catch you cryin'
Don't let the sun catch you cryin', oh no
Oh, oh, oh
YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE
(R. Rodgers - O. Hammerstein II)
When you walk through the storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of the lark
Walk on, through the wind
Walk on, through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
I'M THE ONE
(Marsden)
I'm the one who cares about you
I'm the one who'll always be true
'Cause I know, yes I know-oh-oh
That I, I love you so
I'm the one who'll be by your side
I'm the one with arms open wide
'Cause I know, yes I know-oh-oh
That I, I love you so
You're the reason I'm livin'
Please don't break my heart in two
'Cause the love that I am givin'
Will always be with you
I'm the one who needs your tender touch
I'm the one who needs your love so much
'Cause I know, yes I know-oh-oh
That I, I love you so
You're the reason I'm livin'
Please don't break my heart in two
'Cause the love that I am givin'
Will always be with you
I'm the one who needs your tender touch
I'm the one who needs your love so much
And so, so I know-oh-oh
That I, I love you so
I'LL BE THERE
(Darin)
Don't you, don't you worry darlin'
Don't you know I'll be there
I'll be there when all your dreams are broken
Answer your unspoken prayer
When the little things you're doin'
Don't turn out right
Don't you worry darlin', I'll be there
I'll miss you, and in my dreams I'll kiss you
Then wish you luck on your new affair
So baby if you need me
All you have to do is call me
And don't you worry darlin', I'll be there
There whenever you need to know
That there is someone who cares
So if your new love isn't your true love
Don't you worry darlin', I'll be there
------ piano solo ------
There whenever you need to know
That there is someone who cares
So if your new love isn't your true love
Don't you worry darlin', I'll be there
Don't you know I'll be there
Don't you, don't you worry darlin'
Don't you know I'll be there I'll be there
I LIKE IT
(Murray)
I like it, I like it
I like the way you run your fingers through my hair
And I like the way you tickle my chin
And I like the way you let me come in
When your mama ain't there
I like it, I like it
I like the words you say and all the things you do
And I like the way you straighten my tie
And I like the way you're winkin' your eye
And I know I like you
You know I like you
Do that again
You're driving me insane
Kiss me once more
That's another thing I like you for
I like it, I like it
I like the funny feeling being here with you
And I like it more with every day
And I like it always hearing you say
You're likin' it too You're likin' it too
I'm askin' you
What do you wanna do
Do you agree
That the world was made for you and me?
I like it, I like it
I like the funny feeling being here with you
And I like it more with every day
And I like it always hearing you say
You're likin' it too You're likin' it too
Whoa-oh, I like it
Are you likin' it too ?
HOW DO YOU DO IT?
(Murray)
How do you do what you do to me?
I wish I knew
If I knew how you do it to me
I'd do it to you
How do you do what you do to me?
I'm feeling blue
Wish I knew how you do it to me
But I haven't a clue
You give me a feeling in my heart
Like an arrow passin' through it
Suppose that you think you're very smart
But won't you tell me how do you do it?
How do you do what you do to me?
If I only knew
Then perhaps you'd fall for me
Like I fell for you
------ piano solo ------
You give me a feeling in my heart
Like an arrow passin' through it
Suppose that you think you're very smart
But won't you tell me how do you do it?
How do you do what you do to me?
If I only knew
Then perhaps you'd fall for me
Like I fell for you
When I do it to you
IT'S GONNA BE ALL RIGHT
(Marsden)
It's gonna be all right, all right, all right
It's gonna be all right
The day you came my way
I knew I would stay
Close by your side
To keep you staisfied
It's gonna be all right, all right, all right
It's gonna be all right
When you look at me I
In your eyes I can see
The love that grows each day
That's why I've gotta say
It's gonna be all right, all right, all right
It's gonna be all right
Never thought I'd find a girl like you
Now I have, I know I'll never be blue
It's gonna be all right, all right, all right
It's gonna be all right
Every time we meet
My heart skips a beat
And now you're here to stay
You'll always hear me say
It's gonna be all right, all right, all right
It's gonna be all right
------ twelve-string guitar solo ------
Never thought I'd find a girl like you
Now I have, I know I'll never be blue
It's gonna be all right, all right, all right
It's gonna be all right
Every time we meet
My heart skips a beat
And now you're here to stay
You'll always hear me say
It's gonna be all right, all right, all right
It's gonna be all right It's gonna be all right
It's gonna be all right
It's gonna be all right
FERRY 'CROSS THE MERSEY
(Gerry Marsden)
Life goes on day after day
Hearts torn in every way
So ferry 'cross the Mersey 'cause this land's the place I love
and here I'll stay
People they rush everywhere
Each with their own secret care
So ferry 'cross the Mersey and always take me there
The place I love
People around every corner
They seem to smile and say
We don't care what your name is boy
We'll never turn you away
So I'll continue to say
Here I always will stay
So ferry 'cross the Mersey 'cause this land's the place I love
and here I'll stay
and here I'll stay
Here I'll stay
CHILLS
(Goffin - Keller)
(chilly, chilly, wah-wah-wah-wah)
(chilly, chilly, wah-wah-wah-wah)
Chills, runnin' up and down my spine
Well I get them every time
That I feel your lips on mine
(chilly, chilly, wah-wah-wah-wah)
Chills, colder than the morning glow
Creepin' down inside my soul
'til I lose my self-control
Whoa, what a feelin'
It's like a roller-coaster ride
You say you love me
Then my heart starts a-poundin' inside
Let me tell you 'bout Chills,
colder than the morning glow
Creepin' down inside my soul
'til I lose my self-control
Oh, what a feelin'
It's like a roller-coaster ride
You say you love me
Then my heart starts a-poundin' inside
Let me tell you 'bout Chills,
colder than the morning glow
Creepin' down inside my soul
'til I lose my self-control (chilly, chilly, wah-wah-wah-wah)
Chills, runnin' up and down my spine
Whoa-oh-oh, Chills
Whoa-whoa-whoa, I've got chills
AWAY FROM YOU
(Marsden - Chadwick)
When I'm away from you
No wonder I feel blue
Without your love (without your love)
Without your charms Want you in my arms
I dream about you every night
Hopin', waitin' for you to write
Until at last (until at last) I find,
can't get you off my mind (off my mind, can't get you off my mind)
If you only knew
How my poor heart yearns for you
Then darling you'll be
Ever true and faithful to me
So when I'm by your side
Please remember how I cried
For your love (for your love)
For your charms
Want you in my arms (in my arms, want you in my arms)
If you only knew
How my poor heart yearns for you
Then darling you'll be
Ever true and faithful to me
So when I'm by your side
Please remember how I cried For your love (for your love)
For your charms Want you in my arms
IT'S HAPPENED TO ME
People tell you that you can't find love
Or you'll never find your turtle dove
Don't believe a word of what they say
'Cause when I met you, my love
I knew, I knew it had happened to me
It's happened to me
You can tell by the way I walk
Or even tell it when I talk
& I'm so proud it's plain to see
'Cause when I met you, my love
I knew, I knew it had happened to me
It's happened to me
I don't mind telling everyone
I'm proud to say you're my only one
(x2):
So if they you that you can't find love
Or you'll never find your turtle dove
Don't believe a word of what they say
'Cause when I met you, my love
I knew, I knew it had happened to me
It's happened to me
It's happened to me
PRETEND
(Douglas/Parman/LaVere/Belloc)
Pretend you're happy when you're blue
It isn't very hard to do
& you will find happiness without an end if you'll pretend
Remember, anyone can dream
& nothing's bad as it may seem
The little things you haven't got could be a lot if you'll pretend
Bridge:
You'll find the love you can share
one you can call your own
Just close your eyes, you値l be there
You'll never be alone
& if you sing this melody
You'll be pretending just like me
Well, what's mine, it can be yours, my friend
So why don't you pretend?
(instrumental)
(repeat bridge)
(repeat verse 3, then repeat its last line twice)
HALLELUJAH, I LOVE HER SO
(Charles)
Well, Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know
She's my baby and I love her so
Every morning when the sun comes up
She brings me coffee in my favorite cup
And I know, yes I know,

In the evening when the sun goes down
And there ain't nobody else around
She kisses me, and then she holds me tight
She says: 践ey, baby, everything痴 alright

YOU'VE GOT WHAT I LIKE
Your smile can make the darkness turn to light
Your eyes make gold & silver not so bright
Your hair's as soft as a summer night
You've got what I like
You say the things I always want you to
You walk just like an angel out of the blue
& when you hold me, my life starts anew
You've got what I like
(x2):
You've got the kind of lips I long to kiss
& when we go on dates now, endless bliss
You make a desert island come to life
You make the whole wide world seem free from strife
You are the one I'm gonna make my wife
You've got what I like
You've got what I like
You've got what I like
SHOW ME THAT YOU CARE
Please, please be mine all of the time
& try to show me that you care
I, I'll be true, true just to you
As long as you show me that you care
(x2):
I'll make you happy in my arms
But you must shower me with charms
Day after day, I'll love you, come what may
As long as you show me that you care
As long as you show me that you care
IT'S JUST BECAUSE
Do you ever stop & think why I love you?
Do you ever stop & think why I think of you?
It's just because, it's just because
It's just because our love is true
Do you ever stop & think what makes me feel this way?
Do you ever stop & think why I love you more each day?
It's just because, it's just because
It's just because our love is true
Bridge:
When I'm with you, the things we do
Mean so very much to me
Do you ever stop & think when our love will end
Is it just a passing phase? No, it will never end
It's just because, it's just because
It's just because our love is true
(instrumental)
It's just because, it's just because
It's just because our love is true
(repeat bridge)
(repeat verse 3)
It's just because our love is true
YOU YOU YOU
What makes me love you this way?
Oh what makes our love grow each day?
What makes the sun shine so brightly?
It's you, you you you
Who tells the flowers when to grow?
Oh & who melts away the winter snow?
Whose love for me will always soar?
It's you, you you you
When I'm feeling sad & blue
& I don't know what to do
I think about our love & you
Who turns the nighttime into day?
Oh it's you, you you you
It's you, you you you
I'LL WAIT FOR YOU
I'll wait for you through rain or shine
I'll wait for you 'cause I know you're mine
& though you're far away, you know I'll always say
I'll wait for you 'cause I know you're mine
I'll wait for you every day
I'll wait for you when you're away
'Cause when you're near me with your hand in mine
I know I'll wait till the end of time
Bridge:
I know you're never far away from me
No matter where you go
I'll do my waitin' till you're back to me
Because I love you so
(repeat verse 2, then repeat its last line twice)
GIVE ALL YOUR LOVE TO ME
Love me till the end of time
Till the seas run dry
Till the flowers forget to bloom
Till the sun don't shine
While there's people here on earth
While there's stars above
All I beg of you, my dear
Give me all your love
Give me all your love all of the time
As the wind that blows evermore, evermore
Till the moon has lost its glow
In the heavens above
All I beg of you, my dear
Give me all your love
Give me all your love all of the time
As the wind that blows evermore, evermore
Give me all your love
WALK HAND IN HAND
(J. Cowell)
Walk hand in hand with me
Through all eternity
Have faith, believe in me
Give me your hand
Love is a symphony
Of perfect harmony
When lovers such as we
Walk hand in hand
Be not afraid, for I am with you all the while
Lift your head up high & look towards the sky
(x2):
Walk hand in hand with me
This is our destiny
No greater love could be
Give me your hand, walk with me
DREAMS
Now dreams can be such funny things, they also can be sad
The dream I had the other night made me feel so bad
I saw my baby with a guy whose face I couldn't see
& when he turned around, it wasn't me
Dreams can be the answer to many people's prayer
But to me the other night, they only brought despair
If I could only see his face again
I might've known where my baby could've been
If dreams come true, as they sometimes do
Then I'll be afraid to dream again
In case she's with another & he's my friend
So I hope when I'd awake out of that dream I'd find
Nobody had taken her & I'd have peace of mind
But a dream last night I was out of luck again
So I suppose that everything's the same
Yes a dream last night I was out of luck again
So I suppose that everything's the same
LA LA LA
Now I'm gonna try & find a girl
Who will make me feel so good
& when I do, I'll sing this song
& I know I'll love her like I should
I'll sing:
CHORUS:
La la la la, la la la la la la la la
La la la la, la la la la la la la
Whenever I am lonely, girl
& I ain稚 got no place to go
I don't sit around & mope all day
I get up & here's what I say
I say:
(chorus)
You get no fun out of hangin' around
Or moanin' every day & night
It's so much better if you take it off
You cannot sit & fuss & fight
Well let me hear you now:
(chorus)
If you got your troubles just like all the other guys
Don't be a jerk like them, my friend
Just shout this & your mouse & hide
Let's shout:
(chorus)
La la la la la
GIRL ON A SWING
(R. Miranda)
I stand out of sight & watch as the light
From the sun shines through her hair
From yonder she came, I don't know her name
Still I love that girl on a swing
CHORUS:
Girl on a swing, swing high
Girl on a swing, swing low
Take all the hate from the world that we're in
Girl on a swing, swing high
Girl on a swing, swing low
& you can cast all your troubles to the wind
She comes with the light then goes with the night
Oh my heart just yearns, but then comes the dawn & she returns
(chorus)
FOOL TO MYSELF
I've been a fool, yes a fool to myself
To think that you were mine, I never thought you'd be so wild
You played around with everyone anytime at all
I thought you were bein' friendly when you took them home to tea
I've been a fool, yes a fool to myself
I've been a fool, yes a fool to myself
When I used to ring you & you said you were ill in bed
I should've realized, yes you were ill but in your head
There's only one thing left for me to say, it's this, my friend:
I've been a fool, yes a fool to myself
I've been a fool, yes a fool to myself
Life, I know, is not a dream
A dream of your A T
But must you go & try to make some kind of monkey out of me?
If this life you're livin' suits your temperament & your face
I'm ever tryin' to change it, I will leave you in disgrace
There's only one thing left for me to say, it's this, my friend:
I've been a fool, yes a fool to myself
I've been a fool, yes a fool to myself
