So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin'
'Cause she knew what she was doin'
And I know'd love was here to stay
When she told me to
walk this way, talk this way, walk this way
talk this way,
Uh, just gimme a kiss!
Like this.
doctor jimmy and mister jim
when i'm pilled you don't notice him,
he only comes out when i drink my gin.
you say she's a virgin.
i'm gonna be the first in.
her fellah's gonna kill me?
oh f**king will he.
i'm seeing double
but don't miss me if you can.
there's gonna be trouble
when she choses her man.
what is it? i'll take it.
who is she? i'll rape it.
got a bet there? i'll meet it.
getting high? you can't beat it.
Fantasy could never be so giving
I feel free, I hope that you are willing
Pick your feet up, and kick your feet up
Dance with me
Let it lift you off the ground
Starry eyes, and love is all around
I can take you where you want to go

Hey there, you with the stars in your eyes
Love never made a fool of you
You used to be too wise
Hey there, you on that high flying cloud
Though she won't throw a crumb to you
You think some day she'll come to you
Better forget her
Her with her nose in the air
She has dancing on a string
Break it and she won't care
I've got the world on a string
I'm sitting on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger
What a world, what a life - I'm in love
I've got a song that I sing
I can make the rain go
Any time I move my finger
Lucky me, can't you see - I'm in love

Oh, the music of life seems to be
Like a bell that keeps ringin' for me
And from the way that I feel
When that bell starts to peal
I would swear I was falling
I could swear I was falling
Why, it's almost like being in love!
It seems like yesterday
You and I first loved this way
But now I know how love can grow
With each and every day
As we lay at midnight's hour
And feel love's hidden power
So strong and bold as life unfolds
The mystery to me
Baby baby, Falling in Love
Im Falling in love again...
Baby baby, Falling in Love
I'm Falling in love again
Broadway Legend Joined: 12/31/69
I have a feeling, it's a feeling,
I'm concealing, I don't know why
It's just a mental, sentimental alibi
But I adore you
So strong for you
Why go on stalling
I am falling
Our love is calling
Why be shy?
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love?
Our hearts are made of it
Let's take a chance
Why be afraid of it
sometimes i ask myself why even bother
when it goes in one ear and right out the other
out on a limb out on the edge no matter what they say
the pleasure of pain day after day,
day after day
love kills
and it hurts me to see you this way
love kills
and it kills me to treat you this way
each day we rise with the sun in our room
needles and pills lead us right to our doom
looking like the tail end of a hurricane
death warmed over the rear end of destruction
love kills
and it hurts me to see you this way
love kills
and it kills me to treat you this way

Didn't I make you feel like you were the only man, yeah,
An' didn't I give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can ?
Honey, you know I did!
And each time I tell myself that I, well I've just had enough,
But I'm gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough.
I said come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby,
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah.
Hey! Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, yeah.
You know you got it if it makes you feel good,
Oh yes indeed.
well i'm finding it harder
to be a gentleman every day
all the manners that i've been taught
have slowly died away
but if i held the door open for you
it wouldn't make your day
you think that i care
about me and only me
when every single girl needs help
climbing up a tree
well i know it don't take much
to satisfy me
maybe it's whatever's in my head
that's distracting me
but if i could find emotion
to stimulate devotion
well then you'd see
Some sweet talkin’ mama with a face like a gent
Said my get up and go must a got up and went
Well I got good news, she's a real good liar
'Cause the backstage boogie set your pants on fire
Sweet emotion

My nerves are all a-jangle,
Emotions in a tangle.
I'm underneath a cloud-
And overwrought.
Do you know how it feels
To be head over heels
Having you in my every thought?
I was fine, doing swell.
Everything was going well.
Now it's all been shot to hell,
Can someone volunteer?
How did I end up
Feeling like this
On the edge of an abyss
Out of sorts and in a stew?
Why is it I'm
Spending my time
Teasing, taunting, testing you?
the life you lead sets all your nerves a-jangle
your love affairs are in hopeless tangle
though you're a child, dear
your life's a wild typhoon
in lives of leisure
the craze for pleasure
steadily grows
c*cktails and laughter
but what comes after?
nobody knows
you're weaving love into a magic pattern
you crawl from room to room
poor little rich girl
don't drop a stitch too soon
I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
From up and down and still somehow
It's clouds' illusions I recall;
I really don't know clouds at all.

Meanwhile...
It's a rip in the bustle and a rustle in the hay
And I'll pitch the quick fantastic,
With flings of confetti and my petticoats away up high.
It's a very short way
From the fling that's for fun
To the thigh pressing under the table.
It's a very short day
Till you're stuck with just one
Or it has to be done
On the sly.
In the meanwhile,
There are mouths to be kissed
Before mouths to be fed,
And there's many a tryst
And there's many a bed,
There's a lot I'll have missed
But I'll not have been dead
When I die!
And a person should celebrate everything
Passing by.
You say I don't have a leg to stand on
So it's a good thing I've got two
But if I had only one leg to stand on
That's exactly what I'd do.
No one can say there's a right or wrong way
Everyone's got their own advice
So am I back to where I started
After all I've sacrificed?
it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
it don't matter, anyhow
an' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
if you don't know by now
when your rooster crows at the break of dawn
look out your window and I'll be gone
you're the reason i'm trav'lin' on
don't think twice, it's all right
it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
that light i never knowed
an' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
i'm on the dark side of the road
still i wish there was somethin' you would do or say
to try and make me change my mind and stay
we never did too much talkin' anyway
so don't think twice, it's all right
it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
like you never did before
it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
i can't hear you any more
i'm a-thinkin' and a-wond'rin' all the way down the road
i once loved a woman, a child i'm told
i give her my heart but she wanted my soul
but don't think twice, it's all right
Time passes much too quickly when we're together laughing
I wish I could sing it to you, oh no
I wish I could sing it to you
Mostly I'm silent
Never think about words to say
When I kiss you, I feel a thousand different feelings
The color of chills all over my body
And when I feel them, I quickly try to decide which one
I should try to put into words, oh no
Try to put into words
Mostly I'm silent
Only the beginning of what I want to feel forever
I'm gonna live forever. I'm gonna learn how to fly.
I feel it comin' together. People will see me and cry.
I'm gonna make it to heaven. Light up the sky like a flame.
I'm gonna live forever. Baby, Remember my name.

Perpetual anticipation is good for the soul but it's bad for the heart
It's very good for practicing self-control
It's very good for morals but bad for morale
It's very bad, it can lead to going quite mad.
It's good for reserve and learning to do what one should
It's very good for having to wait....
Perpetual anticipation's a delicate art
Playing a role, aching to start
Keeping control while falling apart....
you must leave now, take what you need, you think will last.
but whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast.
yonder stands your orphan with his gun,
crying like a fire in the sun.
look out the saints are comin' through
and it's all over now, baby blue.
the highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.
take what you have gathered from coincidence.
the empty-handed painter from your streets
is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets.
this sky, too, is folding under you
and it's all over now, baby blue.
Guess I got what I deserved
Kept you waiting there
Too long my love
All that time without a word
Didn't know you'd think,
That I'd forget
Or I'd regret
The special love I had for you
My baby blue
Who's sorry now
Who's sorry now
Whose heart is aching
Breaking each vow
Who's sad and blue
Who's crying to
Just like we’ve cried over you
Right to the end
Just like a friend
We tried to warn you somehow
You've had your way
Now you must pay
We're glad that you're sorry now

And here's to the girls who just watch--
Aren't they the best?
When they get depressed,
It's a bottle of Scotch,
Plus a little jest.
Another chance to disapprove,
Another brilliant zinger,
Another reason not to move,
Another vodka stinger.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!
I'll drink to that.
