Was she told when she was young  
That pain would lead to pleasure?  
Did she understand it when they said  
That a man must break his back to earn his day of leisure?  
Will she still believe it when he’s dead?

Don’t touch me, please  
I cannot stand the way you tease  
I love you though you hurt me so  
Now I’m gonna pack my things and go  
Tainted love (oh-oh-oh-oh)

My friends, know what’s in store  
I won’t be here anymore  
I’ve packed my bags  
I’ve cleaned the floor  
Watch me walking  
Walking out the door

When your rooster crows at the break of dawn  
Look out your window and I’ll be gone  
You’re the reason I’m a-traveling on  
But don’t think twice, it’s all right

Well, it’s all right  
Riding around in the breeze  
Well, it’s all right  
If you live the life you please  
Well, it’s all right  
Doin’ the best you can  
Well, it’s all right  
As long as you lend a hand

And I said, ‘Damn, girl, can’t you see  
That I’m breakin’ my back  
Just tryin’ to keep my head above water  
And it’s turnin’ me wild?’

Wild thing you make my heart sing  
You make everything groovy, wild thing

Wild thing, I think I love you  
But I wanna know for sure  
Come on, hold me tight, I love you

_Wild Thing. The Troggs_

When I’m feelin’ blue  
All I have to do is take a look at you  
Then I’m not so blue  
When you’re close to me  
I can feel you heart beat  
I can hear you breathing in my ear

Wouldn’t you agree  
Baby, you and me got a groovy kind of love

I get frightened in all this darkness  
I get nightmares I hate to sleep alone  
I need some company a guardian angel  
To keep me warm when the cold winds blow  
I can feel you breathe  
I can feel your heart beat faster

And ride with us, young bonny lass  
With the angels of the night  
Crack wind clatter, flesh rein bite  
On an out-size unicorn  
Rough-shod winging sky blue flight  
On a cold wind to Valhalla

Goin’ up to the spirit in the sky (spirit in the sky)  
That’s where I’m gonna go when I die (when I die)  
When I die and they lay me to rest  
I’m gonna go to the place that’s the best

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat  
They’re ridin’ hard to catch that herd but they ain’t caught 'em yet  
'Cause they’ve got to ride forever in the range up in the sky  
On horses snorting fire; as they ride hard, hear them cry

Yippie-i-ay Yippie-i-oh  
Ghost riders in the sky

Riders on the storm  
Riders on the storm  
Into this house, we’re born  
Into this world, we’re thrown  
Like a dog without a bone  
An actor out on loan  
Riders on the storm

'Cos I love you, love you, love you, love you  
Even though you make me freeze  
And you say I’m only just a dog  
Who can’t control his fleas  
And I love you, love you, love you  
On the roofs and on the floor  
And I really can’t believe  
That we have never met before

If only I could have a puppy  
I’d call myself so very lucky  
Just to have some company  
To share a cup of tea with me  
I’d take my puppy everywhere  
La-la, la-la, I wouldn’t care  
But we would stay away from crowds  
With signs that said “No dogs allowed”  
Oh, weee  
I know he’d never bite me  
Whoa, whoa-whoa, lo-do-do-do, po-doo  
Weee  
I know he’d never bite me  
Whoa, whoa-whoa

Maria carry a rifle  
Maria carry a dog on her back  
That dog is hit again  
That slow dog is hit again  
With his see-thru skin  
The kind of skin you can see through

He’s shot again  
He’s shot again  
He’s shot a-a-a-a-a-a  
He’s shot again  
He’s shot again  
He’s shot a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a

I had an old dog whose name was Blue  
You know that Blue was mighty true  
You know Blue was a good old dog  
Blue treed a 'possum in a hollow log  
You know from that he’s a good old dog

I have a dog who’s name is Spot, sometimes he’s white sometimes he’s not.  
Whether he’s white or whether he’s not, there’s a patch on his back that makes him Spot.  
He likes a bowl an’ he likes a ball, doesn’t care for a cat at all.  
Bites the postman on the ass, never ever lets the milkman pass.

One fine day with a woof and a purr  
A baby was born and it caused a little stir  
No blue buzzard, no three-eyed frog  
Just a feline canine little CatDog.

Okay, stranger  
You don’t know me and I don’t know you  
But I’m telling you this and it might be true  
There’s only one thing gets a cowboy down  
It’s the kind of trouble that we’ve got in this town

Frog trouble  
(Frog trouble, frog trouble, hmm-mmm)
