Dolenz, Jones, Boyce & Hart (1976)

And now it begins
Needles and pins
I see what your eyes are revealing
I, I feel it too

And it seems so right
To hold you tonight
We’re lost in that magical feeling
I, yes, I’m in love with you

Oh, right now
We’re alone together now
This is our forever
Girl, I want you to be
So in love with me
Right now

[break]

And now that you’re here
Incredibly near
The promise of sweet surrender
I, yes, I, I need you now

Oh, right now
Not last night or tomorrow
Now, while there’s love in our hearts
Oh, girl, we’ve waited so long
And the feeling’s so strong

Just let go, oh oh oh
And let love have its way
Right now

Na-na na-na
Na na-na na na
Na na-na na na
Na-na na-na na na
Na-na-na na-na na na
Na na-na na na

As I look back on my life and times
My pleasures have been few
And my only happy memories
Are when I remember you

I loved you
The moment I saw you
Before I crossed the crowded room, my heart adored you
And all you said was, “I’m glad to meet you”
And the earth moved all around me
Love had finally found me

I loved you
My heart wrote you a letter
And every time I saw you on the street, I knew you better
Oh, but you know, I was only dreaming
Deep within, my secret splendor
I’m sure you don’t remember

Once upon a time, I met a girl who had the prettiest blue eyes
But after all the times I’ve tried
And all the times I cried
Those pretty blue eyes would never notice me

And if they ever give awards for the loneliest story
Well, I’d be there when they give them out
And I’d win without a doubt
But there’s no fame
For tears and pain
And love that don’t work out

I love you
And I’m glad that I said it
Nothing you can say or do could make me regret it
And though my arms may never hold you
Still I wrap my love around you
Thank God above I found you

Na na-na na, na-na na, na-na na-na na na
Na na-na na, na-na na, na-na na-na na-na-na
Na na-na na, na-na na, na-na na-na na na
Na na-na na, na-na na, na
Na na-na na, na-na na, na

Once upon a time, I met a girl who had the prettiest blue eyes

You and I

After all the spotlights and the flowers
After all the parties and goodbyes
There was something in the air
Something that we realized
We would always share

And it was you and I and promises not broken
And it was you and I and magic memories
After all was said and done, they never understood
How we always made it
And we knew we always would

Now it seems that we are still together
When all the others never made it through
Someday, they’ll learn our secret way
But it isn’t such a secret
And it isn’t hard to do

’Cause it’s just you and I and promises not broken
Now it’s just you and I and magic memories
After all was said and done, they never understood
How we always made it
And we knew we always would

’Cause it was you and I and promises not broken
’Cause it was you and I and magic memories
After all was said and done, they never understood
How we always made it
And we knew we always would

(You and I) You and I
(You and I) You and I
(You and I)

Mmmmm

Each time we have a quarrel
It almost breaks my heart
’Cause I am so afraid
That we will have to part

Each night, I ask the stars up above
Why must I be a teenager in love?

One day, I feel so happy
Next day, I feel so sad
I guess I’ll have to take
The good with the bad

Each night, I ask the stars up above
Why must I be a teenager in love?

I cried a tear
For nobody but you
I’ll be the lonely one
If you should say we’re through

If you wanna make me cry
That wouldn’t be so hard to do
And if you should say goodbye
I’d still go on lovin’ you

Each night, I ask the stars up above
Why must I be a teenager in love?

[break]
Da na-na na-na…

Why must I be a teenager in love?

I cried a tear
For nobody but you
I’ll be the lonely one
If you should say we’re through

If you wanna make me cry
That wouldn’t be so hard to do
And if you should say goodbye
I’d still go on lovin’ you

Each night, I ask the stars up above
Why must I be a teenager in love? (Oh, tell me why)
Why must I be a teenager in love? (Oh, tell me why)
Why must I be a teenager in love? (Oh, tell me why)
Why must I be (Why must I be?) a teenager in love? (Oh, tell me why)
Why must I be (Why must I be?) a teenager in love?
Why must I be (Why must I be?) a teenager in love?
Why must I be (Why must I be?) a teenager in love?
Why must I be (Why must I be?)
Why must I be (Why must I be?)
Why must I be (Why must I be?)
Why must I be (Why must I be?)

If you ever get to old England
She is a lady, so treat her well
And please remember, we once were lovers
Oh, how I miss her now that she is gone

If you ever sail to Jamaica
And you are lying in Kingston Bay
And if you can see those smiling faces
Then just remember, she used to be your slave

Sail, sail on, sailor
Sail, sail on by
Sail, sail on, sailor
Sail, sail on by

If you ever drift near Tahiti
And the deep blue waters call out your name
Then hoist your main sail, sail right on by her
She doesn’t need you, she has all she could want

Sail, sail on, sailor
Sail, sail on by
Sail, sail on, sailor
Sail, sail on by
Sail, sail on, sailor
Sail, sail on by
Sail, sail on, sailor

It always hurts the most in the morning
I don’t know why
I don’t know why
And it always starts without any warning
I start to cry
I start to cry

Every time I see something that you wore
I pick it up and throw it out the door
I keep trying to hide this feeling they call blue
But the more I do, the more I think of you

And it always hurts the most in the morning
I don’t know why
I don’t know why
And it always starts without any warning
I start to cry
I start to cry

You told me that you loved me, but you lied
When I found out, I locked my door and cried
I tried to cover up by telling jokes
But the joke’s on me, and that’s what hurts the most

And it always hurts the most in the morning
I don’t know why
I don’t know why
And it always starts without any warning
I start to cry
I start to cry
I start to cry

[break]

When I asked you not to leave, you were cold as ice
It isn’t nice to have to ask for something twice
So now I’m lying here upon my floor
As your footsteps follow you right out my door

And it always hurts the most in the morning
I don’t know why
I don’t know why
And it always starts without any warning
I start to cry
I start to cry

And it always hurts the most in the morning
I don’t know why
I don’t know why
And it always starts without any warning
I start to cry
I start to cry

Yes, it always hurts the most in the morning
I don’t know why
I don’t know why
And it always starts without any warning

Alright! Alright!

Something is waiting in the wings
There is a power gathering
There was a torch upon the wind
There is a starbird coming in
Burning bright

Oh, moonfire
Thunder is your drummer tonight
And up on your mountain is a light
And up on your mountain is a moonfire
It’s a moonfire

Alright!
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah ah-ah

Blessings unto the world of man
A child shall be born unto them
Just as the prophet prophesied
The seventh son will have a second sight
Burning bright

Oh, moonfire
Thunder is your drummer tonight
And up on your mountain is a light
Up on your mountain is a moonfire
Is a moonfire

Oh, moonfire
Thunder is your drummer tonight
And up on your mountain is a strange light
Up on your mountain is a moonfire
It’s a moonfire

Ah-ah ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah ah-ah

You didn’t feel that way last night
Don’t you remember?
You didn’t feel that way last night
Don’t you remember?

Staying home alone tonight, looking in my mirror
I’m talking to myself, trying to see things a little bit clearer
You took me on a magic carpet ride
Then you told me that you couldn’t decide

You didn’t feel that way last night
Don’t you remember?
Don’t you remember? (The way that it felt)
Don’t you remember? (I stood and you knelt)
Don’t you remember? (Two candles who melted)

In the passion and the fire
And the love and desire
All the hugging and the kissing
Took us higher and higher

[break]

You took me on a magic carpet ride
Then you told me that you couldn’t decide

You didn’t feel that way last night
Don’t you remember?
(You didn’t feel that way last night)
Don’t you remember?
No (You didn’t feel that way last night)
Hey (You didn’t feel that way last night)
No (You didn’t feel that way last night)
Don’t you remember?

I plopped down in my easy chair and turned on channel two
A bad gunslinger called Salty Sam was chasing poor sweet Sue
Trapped her in the old sawmill, and he said with an evil laugh
“If you don’t give me the deed to your ranch, I’ll saw you all in half!”

And then he grabbed her!
And then?
He tied her up!
And then?
He turned on the buzz saw!
And then? And then?
“What seems to be going on here?”

And then along came Jones
Tall, thin Jones
Slow walkin’ Jones (Slow talkin’ Jones)
Along came long, lean, lanky Jones

Commercial came on, so I got up to get myself a snack
Should have seen what was goin’ on by the time that I got back
Down in the old abandoned mine, sweet Sue was a-havin’ fits
“If you don’t give me the deed to your ranch, I’ll blow you all to bits!”

And then he grabbed her!
And then?
He tied her up!
And then?
He lit the fuse to the dynamite!
And then? And then?
“That’s not cricket, old chap.”

And then along came Jones
Tall, thin Jones
Slow walkin’ Jones (Slow talkin’ Jones)
Along came long, lean, lanky Jones

[break]

I got so bugged, I turned it off and turned on anther show
There was the same old shoot ’em up and the same old rodeo
Salty Sam was trying to stuff sweet Sue in a burlap sack, he said
“If you don’t give me the deed to your ranch, I’ll put you on the railroad track!”

And then he grabbed her!
And then?
And then he tied her up!
And then?
And then he threw her on the railroad track, WHAT A JERK!
And then?
“Excuse me, but your train is blocking my driveway.”

And then along came Jones
Tall, thin Jones
Slow walkin’ Jones (Slow talkin’ Jones)
Along came long, lean, lanky Jones

’Cause I’m savin’ my love for you

I heard your best friend say
You’ve been upset all day
Well, I don’t doubt it that you’re takin’ it hard
It’s an emergency, you shout “Rescue me”
Call out the Navy and the National Guard

I’ll take you away from it all
We will have each other if we stumble or fall
Ooh-wee, you and me
Makin’ up, makin’ out, makin’ love

Since you’ve been afraid, you built a barricade
Now you been hidin’ out and layin’ low
Don’t need the FBI, ’cause I’m a super spy
And I will find you anywhere you go

Saving my love
Saving my love
Saving my love for you

Saving my love
Saving my love
Saving my love for you

[break]

Ooh, I remember the feelin’
It had me rockin’ and reelin’
It took me high as the ceiling
Yes, I remember the feelin’

When I saw you sittin’ in the grass
Walked up and asked you for your autograph
Thought I was crazy, but it made you laugh
And I knew I was halfway there

How was I to know way back in June
That I’d fall in love with you so soon?
But in the summer sun the feelings grew
And there was nothing I could do

And I remember the feelin’
It had me rockin’ and reelin’
It took me high as the ceiling
Yes, I remember the feelin’

Yes, I remember the feelin’ (Ba ba-da da-da)
[???] rockin’ and reelin’ (Ba ba-da da-da)
And all the kisses we were stealin’ (Ba ba-da da-da)
Yes, I remember the feelin’

It was so nice to be in love with you
Everything we did was so brand new
Life to us was like a fantasy
I love you, and you love me

Me and you, you and me
Thought that’s the way that it would always be
Me and you, you and me (Come on)
Thought that’s the way that it will always be (“Come on, Bobby, let’s all do”)
Me and you, you and me
Thought that’s the way that it would

I remember the feelin’ (Ba ba-da da-da)
It had me rockin’ and reelin’ (Ba ba-da da-da)
It took me high as the ceiling (Ba ba-da da-da)
Yes, I remember the feelin’

That seems like only yesterday
When I believed that love was here to stay
Guess I was wrong to ever think that way
I turned around, and you were gone

But I remember the feelin’ (Ba ba-da da-da)
It had me rockin’ and reelin’ (Ba ba-da da-da)
It took me high as the ceiling (Ba ba-da da-da)
Yes, I remember the feelin’

Yes, I remember the feelin’ (Ba ba-da da-da)
It had me rockin’ and reelin’ (Ba ba-da da-da)
It took me high as the ceiling (Ba ba-da da-da)
Yes, I remember, I remember, I remember, I remember

Yes, I remember the feelin’ (Ba ba-da da-da) Woo!
It had me rockin’ and reelin’ (Ba ba-da da-da)
It took me high as the ceiling (Ba ba-da da-da)
I remember the feelin’

Yesterday, my heart was lonely, down to my last beat
Too unsure and insecure to get back on my feet
It seems lovin’ made a fool of me
Every time I fell
When I looked up, and there you were
I lost my head, and well

It was a sweet heart attack
Like a train rolling down the track
You got my heart to start, and you took my breath away, and now I want it back
Sweet heart attack

Before you came, love was just a four-letter word
Pretty lies and alibis were all I ever heard
Drowning in my sorrow, goin’ down for the last time
It’s sink or swim, and you jumped in
And ooh, you blew my mind

Oh, what a sweet heart attack
Knocked me flat on my back
You broke my heart at the start, and you took my breath away, and I never want it back

Heartaches, I just can’t take ’em
Heartaches, I can’t seem to shake ’em
Heartaches, no matter what I do
Darkness all around me
Danger, it should have found me
Then I looked around, and there was you

[break]

You broke my heart at the start, and you took my breath away, and now I want it back
Sweet heart attack

(Sweet heart attack)
(Sweet, sweet heart attack) Sweet heart attack
(Sweet heart attack)
(Sweet, sweet heart attack)
(Sweet heart attack)
(Sweet, sweet heart attack)
(Sweet heart attack)
(Sweet, sweet heart attack)
