Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
The secrets that you keep.
I’ve only got myself to blame.
I played a losing game.
I lie awake and call your name
All I own is just a picture in a broken frame
It seemed so hard for me to share
It’s even harder now that you’re not there (now baby)
Chorus
I’m losing sleep over the secrets that you keep (Oh baby)
I’m losing sleep over the secrets that you keep.
I lie awake at night not knowing where you are
You know it don’t seem right that you could be so far away from me.
Oh oh the secrets that you keep
Since you’ve been gone our worlds have grown apart.
Now I don’t know what’s in your head or in your heart.
Those little things you kept so secretly.
They don’t mean much to you but they mean so much to me.
So won’t you give me just one more chance.
I’m the fool who broke up our romance.
We used to have so many plans
And then I went and let you slip right through my hands.
I’ll go on searching ’til I find
A way to get you back and make you mine (until then)
Chorus
I’m losing sleep over the secrets that you keep
I’m losing sleep over the secrets that you keep
I’m losing sleep over the secrets that you keep
I’m losing sleep over the secrets that you keep
Repeat to fade

Got myself a crying, talking, sleeping, walking, Living Doll.
Gotta do my best to please her just ’cos she’s a Living Doll.
I gotta roving eye and that is why she satisfies my soul
Got my one and only walking, talking, Living Doll.
Take look at her hair, it’s real
You don’t believe what I say just feel.
Gonna lock her up in a trunk,
So no big hunk can steal her away from me.
Got myself a crying, talking, sleeping, walking, Living Doll.

Got my one and only walking, talking, Living Doll.

One night with you, is what I’m now praying for.
The things that we two could plan, would make my dreams come true.
Just call my name, I’ll be there right by your side,
I want your sweet helping hands,
My love’s too strong to hide.
Always lived, very quiet life, yeah.
But I never did no wrong.
But now I now that life without you has been too lonely too long.
One night with you, is what I’m not prayin’ for.
The things that we two could plan, will make my dreams come true.

Well she comes from Tallahassee
She got a hot, wide chassis
Maybe looks a little trashy
But to me she’s real classy
Yeah my Tallahassee Lassie

Well she’s rompin’ to the drag

Drove me to the shag
Drops the bunny hop
Well she dances to the bop

Some people like to rock
Some people like to roll
But moving and a-grooving gonna satisfy my soul
Let’s have a party.
Whoa, let’s have a party

I was born in a bunk.
Mummy died and my daddy got drunk.
Left me here to die or grow.
In the middle of Tobacco Road.
Grew up in a rusty shack,
All I had was hanging on my back.
Only you know how I loath
This place called Tobacco Road.
But it’s home.
The only life I’ve ever known.
Only you know how I love you,
Tobacco Road.
I’m gonna leave and get a job,
With the help and grace from above.
I'll make some money get rich I know,
And bring it back to Tobacco Road.
’Cos it’s home
The only life I’ve ever known
Only you know how I love you
Tobacco Road.
Break
I’m gonna leave and get a job,
With the help and grace from above.
I’ll make some money get rich I know,
And bring it back to Tobacco Road.
Bring dynamite and a crane
Blow it up start all over again
Build a town I’ll be proud to show
Keep the name of Tobacco Road.
’Cos it's home
The only life I’ve ever known
I despise you ’cos you’re filthy
But I love you ’cos you’re home.

All my love, all my kissing,

Oh Boy,
When you’re with me, Oh Boy.

All my life, I’ve been a waiting,
Tonight there’ll be no hesitating,
Oh Boy,
When you’re with me, Oh Boy.

All my life, I’ve been a waiting,
Tonight there’ll be no hesitating,
Oh Boy,
When you’re with me, Oh Boy.
The world will see that you were meant for me.

Ooh, wahh
Ooh, wahh
I love how your eyes close
Whenever you kiss me
Or when I’m away form you I love how you miss me
I love the way you always treat me tenderly
But darling most of all I love how you love me.
I love how your heart beats
Whenever I hold you
I love how you think of me w
Without being told to
I love the way your touch is always heavenly
But darling most of all I love how you love
I love how your eyes close
Whenever you kiss me
Or when I'm away form you I love how you miss me
I love the way you always treat me tenderly
But darling most of all I love how you love me.
I love how you love me
I love how you squeeze me, tease me, please me,
I love how you want me
I love how you love me
Ooh never stop loving me

On the isle of Fillalilla
Out Hawaii way
A hula maiden gay,
Strolled by on moonlit bay.
There come to court her over the water
From a savage Zingazulu land
A bolo chieftain grand
Sang her this way.
Chorus
And he sang
Hula, Hawaii Hula
Smile on your zing gang a zula.
Moonshine above on your sweet jungle love.
For you my bolo is swinging
For you my love song I'm singing
Come be my hula hula love.
But the chieftain from the peaceful Fillalilla land
Would not give him her hand
Her lover took his stand
Through the rattle of the battle
As she heard his sweet voice calm and true
They fled in his canoe
Over water blue.
Chorus
Written by Buddy Knox (Macmelodies/KPM)
I’m so young and your so old
This my darling I’ve been told
I don’t care just what they say
’Cos forever I will pray
You and I will be as free as the birds up in the tree
Ooh please stay by me Diana
Thrills
I get when you hold me close
Oh my darling you're the most
I love you but do you love me
Oh Diana can’t you see
I love you with all my heart
And I hope we'll never part
Ooh please stay by me Diana
Oh my darling
Oh my lover
Tell me that there is no other
I love you with all my heart
Only you can take my heart
Only you can tear it apart
When you hold me in your loving arms
I can feel you giving all your charms
Hold me darling, hold me tight
Squeeze me darling with all your might
Ooh please stay by me Diana
Oh my darling
Oh my lover
Tell me that there is no other
I love you with all my heart.
Only you can take my heart
Only you can tear it apart
When you hold me in your loving arms
I can feel you giving all your charms
Hold me darling, hold me tight
Squeeze me darling with all your might
Ooh please stay by me Diana
Ooh please, Diana.
Ooh please, Diana.
Ooh please, Diana.
