Inside a killer, thriller tonight, yeah

And although you’re free, I know you’re havin’ fun  
Oh, but to me and in my heart, you’ll still be the only one  
Because you, oh, you made my heart stand still, yeah  
Just for your own personal thrill, thrill, yeah

I looked at your face every day  
But I never saw it 'til I went away  
When winter came, I just wanted to go (wanted to go)  
Deep in the desert, I longed for the snow  
You’re still the one that makes me laugh  
Still the one that’s my better half  
We’re still having fun and you’re still the one

You’re the only one for me, I’m the only one for you  
Baby, can’t you see, you’re still the only one?  
Each and every night I pray, hoping there will come a day  
When baby, you’ll believe you’re still the only one

Don’t, don’t break the spell,  
It would be different and you know it will,  
You, you make loving fun,  
And I don’t have to tell you you’re the only one.

One is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do  
Two can be as bad as one

But I just can’t convince myself  
I couldn’t live with no one else  
And I can only play that part  
And sit and nurse my broken heart

So lonely  
So lonely  
So lonely  
So lonely

Only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely  
You showed me the way to leave the past and all its tears behind me  
Tomorrow may be even brighter than today  
Since I threw my sadness away  
Only yesterday

Just yesterday morning, they let me know you were gone.  
Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you.  
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song,  
I just can’t remember who to send it to.

@Rebo Well played!

Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river  
You can hear the boats go by, you can spend the night beside her  
And you know that she’s half-crazy but that’s why you want to be there  
And she feeds you tea and oranges that come all the way from China  
And just when you mean to tell her that you have no love to give her  
Then she gets you on her wavelength  
And she lets the river answer that you’ve always been her lover

And the rain let up  
And the sun came up  
And we were gettin’ dry  
Almost let a pick-up truck  
Nearly pass us by  
So we jumped right in  
And the driver grinned  
And he dropped us up the road  
And we looked at the swim  
And we jumped right in  
Not to mention fishing poles

Well now, take down your fishing pole  
And meet me at the fishing hole  
We may not get a bite all day  
But don’t you rush away  
What a great place to rest your bones  
And mighty fine for skipping stones  
You’ll feel fresh as a lemonade a-setting in the shade

Whether it’s hot, whether it’s cool  
Oh what a spot for whistling like a fool

Felt a pang late one afternoon  
I was fishin’ off Muir beach  
With Larry LaLonde  
I grabbed a tuna salad sandwich  
And I started to chew  
Pretty soon Ler’s yellin

Fish on  
Fish on

In the morning,  
Laughing happy fish heads,  
In the evening,  
Floating in the soup,

Fish heads fish heads,  
Roly poly fish heads,  
Fish heads fish heads,  
Eat them up yum

You gone fishin’  
Well there’s a sign upon your door  
Gone fishin’  
You ain’t workin’ anymore  
There’s your hoe out in the sun  
Where you left a row half done  
You claim that hoein’ ain’t no fun  
You ain’t got no ambition

_Gone Fishin’. Bing Crosby_

Lazy bones, sleepin’ in the sun,  
How you ‘spect to get your day’s work done?  
You’ll never get your day’s work done sleepin’ in the noon day sun.

I go out to work on Monday morning  
Tuesday, I go off to honeymoon  
I’ll be back again before it’s time for sunny-down  
I’ll be lazing on a Sunday afternoon
