I wonder my darling... Where are you again tonight? Are you holding someone else real tight? Baby, I wonder...
My heart, my heart is aching I believe that I'm a fool to let it go on breaking. Maybe I wake up and find now that I'm mistaken Oh but right now I wonder...
I've been through Lover's Lane And I'm living life just the same I've been travelling nowhere faced And what I wanna know, what I wanna know is will it last?
Oh oh I wonder, I wonder my darling Will you think of me? Will you think of me again tonight?
Or are you holding someone else real tight? Oh yeah-he-he baby I wonder...
I've been through, I've been through Lover's Lane And I'm livin' life, livin' it just the same I've been travelling, been travelling nowhere faced And what I wanna know right now, what I wanna know is will it last?
I wonder, I wonder, I wonder, I wonder my my my my my my my darling Will you think of me? Will you think of me every day? Although I may be a million miles away Right now I wonder
Although I, although I may be a million miles away Baby, baby, I wonder
Skylark Have you anything to say to me? Won't you tell me where my love can be? Is there a meadow in the mist Where someone's waiting to be kissed?
Skylark Have you seen a valley green with spring? Where my heart can go a journeying Over the shadows and the rain To a blossom covered lane
And in your lonely flight Haven't you heard the music in the night? Wonderful music, faint as a will o' the wisp Crazy as a loon, sad as a gypsy serenading the moon
Oh skylark I don't know if you can find these things But my heart is riding on your wings So if you see them anywhere Won't you lead me there?
Oh skylark I don't know if you can find these things But my heart is riding on your wings So if you see them anywhere Won't you lead me there?
The crowd sees me out dancing Carefree and romancing Happy with my someone new I'm laughing on the outside Crying on the inside Cause I'm still in love with you
They see me night and daytime Having such a gay time They don't know what I go through I'm laughing on the outside Crying on the inside Cause I'm still in love with you
No one knows it's just a pose Pretending I'm glad we're apart And when I cry, my eyes are dry The tears are in my heart
My darling, can't we make up? Ever since our breakup Make believe is all I do I'm laughing on the outside Crying on the inside Cause I'm still in love
Baby, I need your good lovin' Got to have your love right now, baby So come and fill my empty arms And make my life worthwhile
Because I'm not livin', baby, I only exist I'll never laugh, I'll never smile no more Don't care if I stay like this, because
Without the one you love, life is not worthwhile Without your love, my dear, I'm like a fatherless child So come and fill my empty arms And make my life worthwhile
When I feel the hurt comin' on I stop and cry like I'm cryin' (Right now) People ask why would a grown man cry I drop my head and I sigh and reply
Without the one you love, life is not worthwhile Without your love, my dear, I'm like a fatherless child So come and fill my empty arms And make my life worthwhile
(Baby, I need your good lovin') Sometimes I feel like a wanderer (Got to have your love right now) Searching for peace within
(Baby, I need your good lovin') I need you my darling (Got to have your love right now) Like a lost soul needs a friend
So come and fill my empty arms And fill my empty life
(Baby, I need your good lovin') Nobody knows the emptiness I feel (Got to have your love right now) And I feel it
(Baby, I need your good lovin') Nobody knows the loneliness I feel (Got to have your love right now) And I feel it because
Without the one you love, life is not worthwhile Without your love, my dear, I'm like a fatherless child So come and fill my empty arms And make my life worthwhile
This bitter earth What fluted passed What good is love That no one wants to share And if my life is like the dust That haunts the rose Tell me what good am I Heaven only knows Well I found it can be so cold Today oh And before you know it Too soon you've grown old But while a voice within me cries Someone may answer my call And this bitter earth May not be so bitter after all
Drinkin' again Thinking of when you loved me Having a few Wishing that you were here
Making the rounds Buying a round for total strangers Just being a fool 'Cause I keep hoping, hoping, hoping you'll appear
Sure I can borrow a smoke I can sit here all night and tell these jokers some jokes But who wants to laugh, who's gonna laugh at a broken heart Oh, my heart is aching, I swear it's breaking
And I'm drinking again Thinking of when you loved me And I'm tryin' to get home With nothin', nothin' but a memory
Yes, I'm dying to get home Dying to get home And I got nothin' but a bottle of beer And just my memory
baby we got to have us a little talk go have to pack up my things i'm gonna walk you say a dollar goes from hand to hand but before i see you go from woman to woman i'd rather drink muddy water sleep out in a hollow log yes i would
i love you baby but you just won't be fair i don't believe you know how to be on the square now go on and have your fun if you must but before i'll have another man that i can not trust i'd rather drink muddy water sleep out in a hollow log yeah do you rehearsal for rather not dare to harris.
you promised me you were gonna be coming on through i work all day and walk just like a fool for you my kisses are sweet as they can be but before i see you make a stone fool out of me i'd rather drink muddy water yes i'd rather drink muddy water i'd rather drink muddy water oh o o o o yes i would ooh i'd rather drink muddy water yeah yeah yeah yeah yes i would show me the way way way way way down to that place i can find that muddy water i'll go ahead and turn it on off i say i'd rather drink muddy water i'd rather drink muddy muddy muddy water sleep out in a hollow log
I wish I didn't love you so, my love for you should have faded long ago. I wish I didn't need your kiss, why must your kiss torture me as long as this. I might be smiling by now with some new tender friend, Smiling by now with my heart on the mend, But when I try, something in my heart says no. You're still there, I wish I didn't love you so.
If ever I would leave you, it wouldn't be in summer Seeing you in summer, I never would go Your hair streaked with sunlight, your arms red as flame Your face with a luster that puts gold to shame
And if I'd ever leave you, it couldn't be in autumn Just how I'd leave in autumn, I never, never would know I've seen how you sparkle when fall nips the air I know you in autumn and I must be there
Oh would I leave you running merrily, merrily, merrily through the snow? Or on a wintry evening when you catch the fire's glow?
If ever I would leave you, it wouldn't be in springtime Knowing how in springtime I'm bewitched, bewitched, bewitched by you so Oh, no, not in springtime, summer, winter, or fall If ever I would leave, leave you at all
Without a word of warnin' blues walked in this mornin' and circled 'round my lonely room.
i didn't know why i had that sad 'n lonely feelin' until my baby called and said we were through, hooo.
for yesterday this time i sang a lovesong but today ... i'm singing the blues.
Hmmmm...
strikes me kinda funny how love can be this way we were lovin' 'til last night honey, yeah. i'm alone again today
and it strikes me kinda funny how fate can be unfair that i come right on the losin' end in every, every love affair!
yes it must be, it must be meant for me that i should be the one, be the one to always lose, hooo.
for yesterday! yesterday this time i'd sing a love song whoaoohhh! yeah, but right now - im singin the blues! who-o-oh ye-he-heah! -- today i sing the blues
Oh pitiful Feel so sorry for me Pitiful It's pitiful Feel so sorry for me Though you dont' love me you see You still won't set me free Oh set me free
I wonder why I wondered why you do me like you do I wonder why you do me like you do When you know that I love you baby And you know I wouldn't do it to you No no
It looks like it makes you happy Just to see me cry Please have mercy on this Vacant heart of mine You're trying to see how mean you can be I would do my dog better that the way you do me
Pitiful Feel so sorry for myself Pitiful Feel so sorry for myself When you know that you dont' want me baby But you aint' gonna let me have nobody else now are ya
고등학생 때는 용돈을 받으면 대전의 교보 핫트랙스에 가서 테이프를 고르는 게 일이었다. 그 때 샀던 테이프 중 아레사 프렝클린의 Love songs가 있었는데 몇 번 듣지 않고 내버려뒀다. 머라이어 캐리의 1집 당시 뮤직비디오를 보면 그녀에 대한 존경심을 표시하면서 아레사의 방식으로 Don't play that song for me를 시도해보았다고 말하는 장면이 나온다. 무슨 클럽 공연같은 데에서 그 노래를 부르는데 머라이어가 겸손했던(ㅋㅋ) 1,.....
