Talk, it’s only talk
Babble, burble, banter, bicker bicker bicker
Brouhaha, balderdash, ballyhoo
It’s only talk
Back talk
Yakety yak (don’t talk back)
Don’t tell me what to do
Don’t tell me what to say
Woah-hoah! Shut up, you talk to much!
Woah-hoah! Pay the man oh yeah!
Put a dime in the box, play the song about New Orleans
I love rock ‘n’ roll,
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby.
I got a little change in my pocket going jing-a-ling-a-ling
Want to call you on the telephone, baby… give you a ring
But, each time we talk I get the same old thing:
Always, “No huggy, no kissy, until I get a Wedding Ring”
My honey, my baby, don’t put my love upon no shelf
She said, “Don’t hand me no lines, and keep your hands to yourself”
If you can’t rock me, somebody will.
Rock me gently
Rock me slowly
Take it easy
Don’t you know
That I have never been loved like this before
I’ll stand here and remember
Just how good it’s been
And I know I’ll never love this way again
This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I left behind
Another prop has occupied my time.
How do you sleep?
How do you sleep at night?
'Cause in my dreams
It’s always there
The evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair !
The stairs creak as I sleep,
it’s keeping me awake
It’s the house telling you to close your eyes
I lay awake and watched until the morning light
Washed away the darkness of the lonely night
In the evening, When the day is done
I’m looking for a woman, but the girl don’t come
So don’t let her, Play you for a fool
She don’t show no pity baby, she don’t make no rules
Oh, you don’t see me crying
Oh, you don’t hear me sighing
I won’t cry, I won’t cry
No, I won’t shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
Said said
Said I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
Oba, ob-serving the hypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have had, oh good friends we’ve lost along the way
In this bright future you can’t forget your past
So dry your tears I say
No woman, no cry
Youre gonna cry, cry, cry, cry
Ninety-six tears
