Davy Jones (1971)

If a man can give a penny
For another person’s thoughts
Then a man can spend a little more
In thanks for all he’s got

If a man can give a valentine
For another person’s heart
Then a man can give a bit more love
And he has got to start

On the road to love
On the road to love
The road to love that winds and bends a good man’s mind

If a man can give the time of day
To a stranger he knows not
Then a man can give a moment more
In thanks for all he’s got

If a man can give a damn about
Things he only knows in part
Then a man can give a little life
And he has got to start

On the road to love
On the road to love
The road to love that winds and bends a good man’s mind

On the road to love
On the road to love
Love that leads to joy for all mankind

On the road to love
On the road to love
The road to love that leads to joy for all mankind

On the road to love
On the road to love
Love that leads to joy for all mankind

On the road to love
On the road to love
The road to love that winds and bends a good man’s mind

On the road to love
On the road to love

(How about me?) I could love you day and night
(How about me?) I will always treat you right
(How about me?) Now I feel so good to know that you’re mine

(How about me?) Take my hand and feel secure
(How about me?) No more worries any more
(How about me?) I’d make you happy all of the time

You’re shopping around in the city
Looking for the famous Mr. Right
Somehow, I don’t think you’ll have success
Too many girls have tried
And no one’s perfect in this world
But don’t look so upset
’Cause if you want someone to love
Don’t take another step

(How about me?) I could love you day and night
(How about me?) I will always treat you right
(How about me?) Now I feel so good to know that you’re mine

(How about me?) Take my hand and feel secure
(How about me?) No more worries any more
(How about me?) I’d make you happy all of the time

It’s hard to find that certain someone
Who makes you feel so good
{But don’t you bet your far a fierce heart}
With your neighborhood
Now you’re a young girl, and you can’t see
The wood for the trees
Now see the boy who’s standing here
And listen to me, please

(How about me?) I could love you day and night
(How about me?) I will always treat you right
(How about me?) Now I feel so good to know that you’re mine

(How about me?) Take my hand and feel secure
(How about me?) No more worries any more
(How about me?) I’d make you happy all of the time

(How about me?) I could love you day and night
(How about me?) And I will always treat you right
(How about me?) Now I feel so good to know that you’re mine

(How about me?) Take my hand and feel secure
(How about me?) No more worries any more

Singing to the music
Dancin’ to the song
’Cause I believe in music
And I believe in love

I’m singing to the music
’Cause I believe in love
And when it comes to your sweet lovin’
I just can’t get enough

It’s lonely in this great big world
But since you’ve came along, you’ve got me

Singing to the music
I’m dancin’ to the song
I’m singing to the music
And dancin’ to the song
’Cause I believe in music
And I believe in love

Dancing to the music
’Cause I’m a believer in love
I’m walking in the sunshine, girl
But that’s not the way it was
Just a nameless face on a nowhere street
But now the world’s my own, you’ve got me

Singing to the music
And dancin’ to the song
Singing to the music
And dancin’ to the song
’Cause I believe in music
And I believe in love

I been in love so many times
But I would always leave her
But since you came into my life
Now I’m a true believer

You’ve got me singing to the music
And dancin’ to the song
’Cause I believe in music
And I believe in love

Singing to the music
And dancin’ to the song
’Cause I believe in music
And I believe in love

Singing to the music
Dancin’ to the song
’Cause I believe in music
And I believe in love

Singing to the music
Dancin’ to the song
’Cause I believe in music

With the cloud above her head
Here comes Rainy Jane
If she stops you, man, she’ll bore you
With her sad refrain

It’s the same old story
We’ve heard a thousand times before
She’ll tell you how he broke her heart
And then the tears will start for

Hey, Rainy Jane
You’ve got to stop your crying sometime
Come on, Rainy Jane
It’s up to you to make your own sweet sunshine

Jane, you’re just the shadow
Of the girl you used to be
Once you used to live for life
But now you live for sympathy

It’s true your heart’s been broken
And you’ve got the right to cry
But if you’re gonna keep it up
The sunshine’s gonna pass you by

Hey, Rainy Jane
You’ve got to stop your crying sometime
Come on, Rainy Jane
It’s up to you to make your own sweet sunshine

You can change the weather
No one loves a rainy day
Come, let’s get together
Clouds will clear up
When you cheer up
Take each rain drop
Make the rain stop

Hey, Rainy Jane
You’ve got to stop your crying sometime
Come on, Rainy Jane
It’s up to you to make your own sweet sunshine

Hey, Rainy Jane
You’ve got to stop your crying sometime
Come on, Rainy Jane
It’s up to you to make your own sweet sunshine

Hey, Rainy Jane
You’ve got to stop your crying sometime
Now come on, Rainy Jane
It’s up to you to make your own sweet sunshine

I’m drifting down the street
Asking of all I meet
Don’t you know me from somewhere?
Hazel eyes and curly hair
Have you seen me anywhere?

Look at me
I’m blending into a wall
And I wonder if I’m really here at all

Time goes by, so do I
But no one blinks an eye
Mirrors aren’t reflecting me
Laws aren’t protecting me
No one’s expecting me

On the edge
I feel like I’m goin’ to fall
And I wonder if I’ll ever land at all

Loneliness comes and stays
Torturing nights and days
People stare but cannot speak
Hearts are strong, but tongues are weak
Maybe all our minds are meek

Look at me
I’m fading into the floor
And I wonder if I’m living any more

One day, I was walking home, I was thinking of her
I would’ve felt lost, but she told me some things of which I wasn’t aware
Well, she told me she was kind of shy (Kind of shy)
Until I opened up her lie
And now that she feels the way that I want her too

Say it again
Say you love me again
Baby, say it again
I’ve heard it before
But I’ll hear it some more
So I waited for when you say

Say it again
Say you love me again
Baby, say it again
So if I’m away
Don’t forget what to say
Baby, say it again and again and again

(Ba, ba-ba ba ba, ba)

First days weren’t how I imagined how lovin’ should be
I told her to wait just to see if her love brought her closer to me
And when I start to look around (Look around)
I realize-a what I found
And now she just says the things that I want her to

Say it again
Say you love me again
Baby, say it again
I’ve heard it before
But I’ll hear it some more
So I waited for when you say

Say it again
Say you love me again
Baby, say it again
So if I’m away
Don’t forget what to say
Baby, say it again and again and again

(Ba, ba-ba ba ba, ba)

Say it again
Say you love me again
Baby, say it again
I’ve heard it before
But I’ll hear it some more
So I waited for when you say

Say it again
Say you love me again
Baby, say it again

Come and listen while I sing my song
You may be busy, but it won’t take long
I’ve got a few things that I’d like to say to you

I’ve done some thinking ’bout the way I feel
Thought I’d let you know my love is real
I’m not so good with words, but I know you’ll understand

I really love you
I like the way that you make me laugh
I like the things you do
All the little things you do
When you smile, I feel fine
Just to know that you are near
Makes me high

I’ll put it to you in a simple way
Can’t keep it locked inside another day
Every time you leave me, girl, all I do is cry

So make it easy on me, let me know
If you feel the same, just tell me so
I wanna be with you and keep you by my side

I really love you
I like the way that you make me laugh
I like the things you do
All the little things you do
When you smile, I feel fine
Just to know that you are near
Makes me high

I really love you
I like the way that you make me laugh
I like the things you do
All the little things you do
When you smile, I feel fine
Just to know that you are near
Makes me high

I really love you
I like the way that you make me laugh
I like the things you do
All the little things you do
When you smile, I feel fine

(Ba, ba-ba ba)
(Ba-ba ba, ba-ba ba)

It’s been a long day
And the skies are gray
Hurry I do, ’cause I’m coming to you, smile away
Never can disguise the feeling
That my love for you is real
And that turned on happy glow inside
It makes me wanna sing

Love me for a day and then tomorrow
Though the time that we have now, we only borrow
Love me for a day and let tomorrow find a way
To keep us near forever and a day

(Ba-ah, ba-ba ba)
(Ba-ba ba, ba-ba ba)

It’s been a long time
Since this heart of mine
Was given a whirl, and you came along, girl, happy day
Still and all I can recall
Words to me expressing love
Is now for both of us
But there might come a day you turn and go

Love me for a day and then tomorrow
Though the time that we have now, we only borrow
Love me for a day and let tomorrow find a way
To keep us near forever and a day

Love me for a day and then tomorrow
Though the time that we have now, we only borrow
Love me for a day and let tomorrow find a way
To keep us near forever and a day

Love me for a day and then tomorrow
Though the time that we have now, we only borrow
Love me for a day and let tomorrow find a way
To keep us near forever and a day

(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)

You can find me any time at all (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
All you do is look around the corner of the garden wall (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)

I’m sittin’ in the apple tree
Lookin’ for a star
I’m sittin’ in the apple tree
I wonder where you are

I can see to the other side of town (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
And I can see the whole wide world if I turn around (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)

I’m sittin’ in the apple tree
Lookin’ for a star
I’m sittin’ in the apple tree
I wonder where you are

(Ba ba-ba, ba ba, ba-ba, ba ba, ba-ba, ba ba)

Oh, I feel like I am floating through the air
Oh, I wouldn’t change places, not even with a millionaire

I’m sittin’ in the apple tree
Lookin’ for a star
I’m sittin’ in the apple tree
I wonder where you are

Ba ba-ba, ba ba, ba-ba, ba ba, ba-ba, ba ba
Ba ba-ba, ba ba, ba-ba, ba ba, ba-ba, ba ba
“Hey! Get out of that tree!”
Ba ba-ba, ba ba, ba-ba, ba ba, ba-ba, ba ba

(Da-da da-da da da, da da da)
(Da-da da-da da da, da da da)

No tomorrow
Only now
You want to cry
But you forgot how

Don’t you think it’d be better
If you’d say come on right now?

Take my love
Oh yeah

(Da-da da-da da da, da da da)

You see no days
Only nights
You don’t know who
Turned out the lights

Don’t you think it’d be better
If you’d say come on, all right?

I need your love
Oh yeah

Don’t you think it’d be better?
Don’t you think it’d be good?
Don’t you think it’d be better?
Don’t you know that it would?

Face up, girl
We’re all alone
But you can try
To make it home

Don’t you think it’d be better
If you’d change your mind at home?

Take my love
My love
My love
Oh yeah

Da-da da-da da da, da da da
Da-da da-da da da, da da da
Da-da da-da da da, da da da
Da-da da-da da da, da da da

(Hoo, hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo hoo-hoo-ooh ooh-ooh)

Seems like you’ve been growing up
Right before my eyes
Changing just a little bit
As every moment flies

A little older every day
More a woman every way
Now I know it’s time for me
To take you in my life and make you stay

Pretty little girl, I’ve been waitin’ for you
And it seems such a long, long time
Pretty little girl, I’ve been waitin’ for you
And now I’m gonna make you mine

Can’t believe the time has come
When you’ll be mine, love
I’ve been waiting patiently
While all the years have flown

Seems like only yesterday
We were children still at play
Now the world belongs to us
As childhood days of longing fade away

Pretty little girl, I’ve been waitin’ for you
And it seems such a long, long time
Pretty little girl, I’ve been waitin’ for you
And now I’m gonna make you mine

(Hoo hoo-hoo, hoo hoo-hoo, hoo hoo-hoo, hoo hoo-hoo)

Pretty little girl, I’ve been waitin’ for you
And it seems such a long, long time
Pretty little girl, I’ve been waitin’ for you
And now I’m gonna make you mine

Pretty little girl, I’ve been waitin’ for you
And it seems such a long, long time
Pretty little girl, I’ve been waitin’ for you
And now I’m gonna make you mine

Pretty little girl, I’ve been waitin’ for you
And it seems such a long, long time
