TO EACH HIS OWN

You say some day, oh baby let's get away

Me, I'll stay at home, to each his own

That bird on a wire leave something to be desired

This bird hasn't flown, to each his own

Where in the world would you ever incur

Such incongruous statements as incongruous as that

You write every day, how many words I can say

Me I telephone, to each his own

To each his own

I'm not a prude by any means

But nudity upon the screens has reached a point

Where acting is now secondary

It's now no longer what you wear

But what you are prepared to bear

The point being that the more you show

The bigger you'll be

To each his own

Of ever moment I cherish alone

It amazes me how easily I'm scared of that

You say someday, oh baby let's get away

Me, I'll stay at home, to each his own

To each his own

I'm not afraid to say right now

That if I had to milk a cow

I'm sure I'd do a damned good job of doing it

I've always been a real dab hand at this dab hand

On the other hand, forgive me for the pun

But I just couldn't resist it

OUR OWN BABY

We both know each other for well over a year

During which time we've shed many a tear

 But throughout it all one thing is clear

 I still love you, love you, love you, love you

 You more than hold the key to my happiness

Therefore, I suggest, why don't we get together

 Once and for all, who knows baby

Next year a stork might call

 Present us with a beautiful sight to see

Our own baby

All my life I never asked for very much

Never felt the need to take what I could touch

My ambition was without any fuss

To be happy, happy, happy, happy

Well judging by the time

I'm having with you

I'd say it's come true

Now why don't we get together

Once and for all

Who knows baby next year a stork might call

Present us with a beautiful sight to see 

Our own baby

We'll give it everything that money cannot buy

We'll take it with us everywhere we go and why

Because we love it

That's right

I may not be as handsome as a king

But looks aren't everything

Now why don't we get together

Once and for all, who knows baby

Next year a stork might call

Present us with a beautiful sight to see

Our own baby

 Our little one

 Our own baby

It's bound to be a son

 Just like his father before him

WHAT'S IN A KISS?

What's in a kiss?

Have you ever wondered just what it is

More perhaps than just a moment of bliss

Tell me what's in a kiss?

What's in a dream

Is it all the things you'd like to have been

All the places that you haven't yet seen

Tell me what's in a dream

I know it's really rather stupid of me

But I honestly don't know

Every time I try to find a solution

I'm surprised at how quickly I become so slow

What's in a kiss?

Have you ever wondered just what it is

More perhaps than just one moment of bliss

Tell me what's in a kiss?

And any time you need a light refreshment

Baby you can count on me

I am your very own delicatessen

Well equipped to supply you with your every need

Well what's in a kiss?

Have you ever wondered just what it is

More perhaps than just one moment of bliss

Tell me what's in a kiss?

Tell me what's in a kiss?

Tell me what's in a kiss?

_{_________________________________________}

AS LONG AS I CAN

I don't want to live forever

I just want to live as long as I can

I don't want to live forever

I just want to live as long as I can

I just want to live as long as I can

I don't know if you don't know me

I don't know if you do or not

I don't know if you don't know me

You might do and then again you might not

You might do but then again

You might not you might not

And I've seen so many peculiar incidents in my life

Like the time a fella got married to a fella

He called his wife

(Did they make a handsome couple?)

Well how are we to know

What happens when they want a child

Isn't that what keeps a marriage alive?

I don't want to live forever

I just want to live as long as I can

I don't want to live forever

I just want to live as long as I can

I just want to live as long as I can

I just want to live as long as I can

I just want to live as long as I can

As long as I can

And I've seen some how can I put this

Funny things in my life

Like the time a woman said sorry to a man

She stabbed with a knife

And in view of all of this nonsense

I think it's only fair

To point out that despite its faults

England still has HP sauce

I don't want to live forever

I just want to live as long as I can

I don't want to live forever

I just want to live as long as I can

I just want to live as long as I can

I just want to live as long as I can

I just want to live as long as I can

As long as I can

As long as I can

As long as I can

As long as I can

DOING WHAT I KNOW

Sometimes I think I don't know what I'm doing

But I always end up doing what I know

Sometimes I think I don't know what I'm doing

But I always end up doing what I know

And It's amazing when you think of it

How many people smoke

Despite the risks that are involved

There's really very little hope

Without them we just couldn't cope

Couldn't cope, neither could we

Sometimes I think I don't know what I'm doing

But I always end up doing what I know 

Doing what I know, doing what I know

Sometimes I think I don't know what I'm doing 

But I always end up doing what I know

Sometimes I think I don't know what I'm doing

But I always end up doing what I know

Have you ever wondered

What would happen in a third world war 

No sooner would it have begun

Than it would be all over

Just look over your shoulder, your shoulder

It's above your knees

Sometimes I think I don't know what I'm doing

But I always end up doing what I know

And what I know, may not I know be a great deal

But what I know nobody can take

Nobody can take, nobody can take away from me 

No, no, no, away from me, no, no, no

I am doing what I know, doing what I know

Sometimes I think I don't know what I'm doing

But I always end up doing what I know

Away we go doing what I know

Away we go doing what I know

Away we go doing what I know

_{_________________________________________}

CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF YOU

There's nothing in the world that I'd like more

Than to be left standing outside your door

Where perhaps I might be, asked to come in

There I could very easily demonstrate

What now appears to be my fate

You see I'm hooked on something

And it's not heroin

 I just can't get enough of you

No I can't get enough, what am I gonna do

I've tried every trick in the book that's going

Now I've decided that they're not worth knowing

My predicament is as simple as this

I'm not satisfied and the reason is

I just can't get enough of you

My experience of life so far

Has been to say the least not the least bizarre

I mean I work for a living, eight hours a day

I don't smoke or drink except for a little wine

The friends that I have are the genuine kind

I think I'm fairly rational in a moderate way

Yet I can't get enough of you

No I can't get enough, what am I gonna do

I've had other woman but they don't move me

You're the only one that can see right through me

What you've got I can't explain

Other than to tell you I have one complaint

I just can't get enough of you

I just can't get enough of you

No I can't get enough, what am I gonna do

Like Oliver Twist said when he asked for more

I happen to like what you gave me before

My condition is rather unique

I'm suffering from the world's first lovely disease

I just can't get enough of you

No I can't get enough of you

I just can't get enough of you

_{_________________________________________}

TOO LONG

I've been outside my window looking in for a change

And what I've seen let me tell you

Isn't the least bit strange

My landlady she puts her head into my room

Her nose must be as long as the handle of a broom

But you, you amaze me when you suddenly show up

Protesting your innocence and proclaiming your love

But it's been too long, since you went away

Too long, you know there's no chance you staying

Too long, baby, but you should know that

After seven whole years you still want me back

It's been too long baby, take my advice

You can walk out on me once but you can't do it twice

If life is what you make it then you'll have to agree

In my life I've had more that a lifetime's misery

It's not that I'm complaining, you know I wouldn't do that

But in our firm when there's trouble, it's me who gets the sack

But you, you amaze me with your big blue eyes

You thought me seeing you would be nice surprise

But it's been too long, since you went away

Too long, can't you hear what I'm saying

Too long, baby, why won't you be told

Sure I cared about you once but that was long ago

It's been too long baby, go ahead and cry

You can walk out on me once but you can't do it twice

But you, you amaze me when you suddenly show up

Protesting your innocence and proclaiming your love

But it's been too long, since you went away

Too long, can't you hear what I'm saying

Too long, baby, but you should know that

After seven whole years you still want me back

It's been too long baby, take my advice

You can walk out on me once but you can't do it twice

Go on back to the life that you said you had found

Don't bother me with your ups and your downs

Oh I don't understand how someone like you

Turns up like this out of the blue

Too long, baby, why won't you be told

Sure I cared about you once but that was long ago

It's been too long baby, you heard what I said

It's as if you were returning from the dead

Too long baby

_{_________________________________________}

I'LL NEVER LET YOU GO

Ever since the day I saw you come my way

I knew that you were mine

Nothing could prevent it, heaven must have sent it

Oh and what a find

From my head to my booted seams

I'm living my wildest dreams

Now I think you know

I'll never, never let you go

How can I express the misery 

I get the minute you're away

No sooner have you gone when everything is wrong

And nothing is OK

Oh I may not be a superman

I'm hardly the type that can

But I think you know

I'll never, I'll never let you go

Love may not be as good as it may seem

Often it's a sad affair

But for everyone that hits the rocks

There's two that really get somewhere

Ever since the day I saw you come my way

I knew that you were mine

Nothing could prevent it, heaven must have sent it

Oh and what a find

There's so much that I want to say

And if I can find a way

I think you know

I'll never, I'll never let you go

No, no, I'll never let you go

Never, never let you go, never, never let you go

Never, never let you go, never, never let you go

Never, never let you go, never, never let you go

Never, never let you go, never, never let you go

_{_________________________________________}

WHAT YOU SEE WHAT YOU GET

You don't know me, I don't know you

We're like strangers coming out of the blue

We call each other by different names

My name is Tarzan baby, yours could be Jane

Looks like rain, I think there could be snow

These days somehow you just never know

The weather bureau are finding it hard

Yesterday's sunshine caught them off their guard

What you see is what you get

What you are is what you expect, you expect

Oh, I've no secrets to keep from you

Not that that's something I wouldn't do

We all have secrets that we keep to ourselves

Mine is what I love to, but I'm afraid I can't tell

What you see is what you get

What you are is what you expect, you expect

What you see is what you get

What you are is what you expect, you expect

What you see is what you get

What you are is what you expect, you expect

_{_________________________________________}

JUST AS YOU ARE

Now you may not be the world's

Most beautiful, glittering glamorous star

But you're all in the world that I'll ever need

And I love you just as you are

Now Sophie Loren and yourself have in common

Really nothing whatsoever so far

But then who needs biggies when with a pair like Twiggy's

I love you just as you are

When you do away, even for a day

I would like it to be known

That I wish that you could stay

Now the day we got married

You'll remember I carried you

Over the threshold of Mooney's bar

Where in between every round

You fell flat out on the ground

Still I love you just as you are

 I love you just as you are

Not to mention Mick and you brother Vic

Who I hear have settled have down after two years in the nick

Take it away Semprini

When you do away, even for a day

I would like it to be known

That I wish that you could stay

So you may not be the world's

Most beautiful, glittering glamorous star

But you're all in the world that I'll ever need

And I love you just as you

Love you just as you are

 I love you just as you are

_{_________________________________________}

CAN'T GET YOU OUT OF MY MIND

You know what's right baby, I know what's wrong

Turn off that light baby and I'll turn you on

There's no denying and I've got to concede

You're casting a spell of some kind

It's breaking my heart every time we're apart

I just can't get you out of my mind

Don't be like that baby, be like you are

Don't wear that hat baby, it looks like a scarf

People go hungry for something to eat

It happens I'm told all the time

I don't know for a fact, all I do know is that

I just can't get you out of

No I just can't get you out of

I just can't get you out of my mind

We'll make the headlines as the world's greatest pair

Taylor and Burton they had better beware

We'll make each other happy too

Don't say you don't think so

Don't make me have to go

Don't leave me in a spin

Make me your everything, everything, everything

You'd make a man like me so happy I know

And I'd do my best to make you happy also

We'd make each other happy too

Don't say you don't think so

Don't make me have to go

Don't leave me in a spin

Make me your everything, everything, everything

Where there's a will baby, must be a way

Where there's a match on, what can I say

Two things mean more to me than anything else

And both are just one of a kind

When were playing away, even during a game

I just can't get you out of

No I just can't get you out of

I just can't get you out of my mind

No matter what you say, no matter what you do

There's got to be a way, a way to get to you

_{_________________________________________}

FOREVER WONDERING

I woke up late this morning

That's the second lime this week

If my boss finds out I'm late again

He's sure to make me leave

Is there no end to my worries

I'm forever wondering

My girlfriend's name is Susan

We got engaged last march

She was killed while getting off a bus

At the top of marble arch

What did she do to deserve this

I'm forever wondering

Let me say that right away

Whatever you might think

I am not about to lose my mind

Although I might feel that way inclined

I'm not the type, no head for heights

You think you got your troubles

Well just take a look at mine

Must be the first pedestrian

To receive a parking fine

Is there no-end to my worries

I'm forever wondering

I'm forever wondering

How can you sit there and say things like

Boy you're looking good

When I feel like something the cat brought in

Not that I don't like cats why I think

Yours would look great on a curry plate

I've got this slight infection

Thought was in my head

When I asked my doctor what it was

He said " I don't know myself"

Is there no end to my worries

I'm forever wondering

I'm forever wondering

I'm forever wondering

I'm forever wondering

I'm forever wondering

_{_________________________________________}

THE NICENESS OF IT ALL

It's the niceness of it all

Baby it's the niceness of it all

Whether you are close to me or far

It doesn't matter in the least

As long as I can be with you

Any time I need to

Like the baby that's just starting to grow

It's the niceness of it all

That makes me love you more and more

And it's the niceness of it all

Baby, it's the niceness of it all

That makes me write to you and say how much

I've missed you over the weeks

That makes me call you on the phone

Whenever there's a chance to speak

And even if there's only time to say hello

It's the niceness of it all

That makes me love you more and more

I don't know what's come over me

I've hardly touched a drink

My mother thinks it's marvellous

He's off the road to sin

She thinks you're just the tonic that I need

And who am I to argue after all isn't that what I believe

It's the niceness of it all

Baby it's the niceness of it all

If I can't be with you for a week then a day will have to do

I won't say that that's enough

But then beggars can't be choosers

And besides if nothing else at least I know

It's the niceness of it all

That makes me love you more and more

Every time I see a shadow I think what a blessing it must be

Not to have to talk with fingers

Not to have to look with nothing to see

You try living your life to the full confined to a chair

Try and hide your loneliness when no one is there

It's the niceness of it all

That makes me love you more and more

It's the niceness of it all

What I like

What I need

_{_________________________________________}

THAT'S A FACT

I could dance all night

I could shake with delight

It's as simple as that and that's a fact

I could squeeze your hand

I could give a command

It's so good to be back and that's a fact

You can be as cool as you like

You can be as wrong as you are right

It don't matter much to me

Either way it's free

I could dance all night

I could shake with delight

It's as simple as that and that's a fact

One and one are two, that's a fact

The sky above is blue and that's a fact

Put it in the act

You got a little woman and she's aware of that

All right, right, right

I could dance all night 'til I'm whacked

And that's a fact

All night until I'm whacked

You can be as cool as you like

You can be as wrong as you are right

It don't matter much to me

Either way it's free

I could dance all night

I could shake with delight

It's as simple as that and that's a fact

One and one are two, that's a fact

The sky above is blue and that's a fact

Put it in the act

You got a little woman and she's aware of that

All right, right, right

I could dance all night 'til I'm whacked

And that's a fact

All night until I'm whacked

I could dance all night 'til I'm whacked

And that's a fact

_{_________________________________________}

I'LL BELIEVE IT WHEN I SEE IT

You gave your love so tenderly

Said there could be no one but for me

And all the time you had it planned

To spend your weekend with another man

What kind of love do you call this

I cannot live my life on promises

You say your lesson has been learned

It's over now as far as you're concerned

Well I'll believe it when I see it

I'll believe it when I see it

If I can't have you when I want to

Then I might just as well be dead

I don't think I can live my life

Sharing you with someone else

You told our children on the phone

How much you hated leaving them alone

Yet for the past few weeks or so

You never phoned them just to say hello

You disappointed me so much

Does it surprise you that I bear a grudge

In spite of promises you broke

You still insist that there's a ray of hope

Well I'll believe it when I see it

I'll believe it when I see it

If we can't survive and live our lives 

The way we both intended to

We might just as well stop right now

What good would going on do

(I'll believe it when I see it)

Oh, you know I try to understand

(I'll believe it when I see it)

'Cause that's the kind of man I am

(If I can't have you), if I can't have you

(When I want to) oh when I want to,

(Then I just might as well be dead)

Oh, I might just as well be dead

I don't think that I can live my life

Sharing you with someone else

(I'll believe it when I see it)

Baby, baby, what else can I do

(I'll believe it when I see it)

You don't know how much

I'm in love with you,

(If we can't survive), if we can't survive

 (And live our lives), oh and live our lives

(The way we both intended to)

The way we both intended to

We might just as well stop right now

What good would going on do
