Bay City Rollers Album

I can't sleep nights
wishing you were here beside me
can't help feeling
that's the way it ought to be
you know we could run away
But i couldn't bear
to hear the things they'd say, oh no
*chorus:
baby let's pretend that tonight we'll live forever
if we close our eyes and believe it might come true
baby let's pretend we could always be together
but for now just let me spend the night with you
somehow, someday
things are gonna be so different
don't cry, some way, I promise it'll be alright
so now that we're all alone
i couldn't bear to leave or take you home, oh no
*chorus*
so take me now, my love can't wait
we're almost there now darling, darling
hold me, hold me, hold me
*repeat chorus*

Baby it's good to see your face again
It's been some time I've missed you so
Those lonely years go by and look how much you've changed
What's happened to the girl I used to know?
Oh you're a woman
and you know what love is for

You say you don't need me you're not a little girl anymore
Oh you're a woman I can see it in your eyes
So I'll turn and walk out thru' the door
Can't stand to hear your woman lies no more.

You'll nevep know how many tears I cried
Those lonely nights I'd lie and think of you
I know that I was wrong
and look how much I've changed
What's happened to the girl that I once knew?
Oh you're a woman
and you know what love is for
. . .

I get my kicks from rock and roll
A 12 bar boogie gonna bless my soul
Wanna dance to that rhythm
Get down to that rockin' beat
I don't wanna play no heavy jazz
With high class music
And its stuffed shirt nights
'Cos I wanna be a rock 'n roll star
And make my money out of playin' guitar
*Cos I'm a rock and roller
I'm gonna rock it, gonna roll all over
I'm gonna shake it to the midnight stroller,
And rock the night away
*repeat
I don't wanna play no Memphis soul
I don't want funk - just rock and roll
Gonna dance to the rhythm get down to that rockin' beat
Make my name in the headline news
There I'm busted singin' the blues
I must find myself a rock 'n roll band,
I'll play my music just as fast as I can
*chorus
Okay people,
Get your rockin' shoes on
Stroll us with the
Rock and roller,
Rock and Roller
yes I'm a rock and roller
Yes I'm a rock and roller
*chorus

I don't know what it is that makes me love you so
I only know I never want to let you go
Cause you started something
Oh can't you see
Ever since we met you've had a hold on me
Its happens to be true
I only want to be with you

It doesn't matter where you go or what you do
I want to spend each moment of the day with you
Look what has happened with just one kiss
I never knew that I could be in love like this
It's crazy but it's true
I only want to be with you

You stopped you smiled at me
And asked me if I cared to dance
I fell into your open arms
I didn't stand a chance

Now listen honey
I just want to be beside you everywhere
As long as we're together honey I don't care
Cause you started something
Oh can't you see
Ever since we met you've had a hold on me
Its crazy but its true
I only want to be with you

Its crazy but its true
I only want be with you!

You stopped you smiled at me
And asked me if I cared to dance
I fell into your open arms
I didn't stand a chance

Now listen honey
I just want to be beside you everywhere
As long as we're together honey I don't care
Cause look what has happend after just one kiss
I never thought that i could be in love like this
Its crazy but its true
I only want to be with you

No matter what you do
I only want to be with you

Its crazy but its true
I only want to be with you!

We Want Rollers
We Want Rollers
We Want Rollers
We Want Rollers
We Want Rollers
We Want Rollers

When we walk down the street,
See the people who stop and stare and say
Haven't I seen that face somewhere a long time ago?

When we walk down the street,
See the stranger who says, "Why, Hi,"
With a, "How you going, Buddy,
When you walked on by I thought I'd say hello."

They say
Haven't I seen your face before
Weren't you the boy that used to live next door,
Weren't you on television ev'ry night
Haven't I seen you round?

We don't wanna be
A yesterday's hero
yesterday's hero
that's all we'll be

We don't wanna be
A yesterday's hero
A yesterday's hero
is all that we're be gonna be
If we don't get together,
Make a new plan and be constantly better,
All that we'll be if we don't get together now.

When we walk down the street,
If you know me, then pass me by,
If you wonder what I'm doing don't ask me why,
I don't read the news

When we walk down the street,
If you're sorry then don't feel bad,
If you followed my story, I'm just as glad
You ain't in my shoes

Because
Haven't you seen my face before,
Yes, I was the boy who used to live next door,
Yes, I was on television ev'ry night,
Haven't you seen me round?

We don't wanna be
A yesterday's hero
Yesterday's hero
that's all we'll be

We don't wanna be
A yesterday's hero
A yesterday's hero
is all that
we're be gonna be
If we don't get together,
Make a new plan and be constantly better,
All that we'll be if we don't get together now.

(Spoken:
Ladies and gentlemen
the Bay City Rollers
Everybody move back, move back please, here you go, back, back)

We don't wanna be
Yesterday's hero
Yesterday's hero
No, no

We don't wanna be
Yesterday's hero, no
yesterday's hero
No, no

We don't wanna be
Yesterday's hero
Yesterday's hero
No, no

Lisa, one more time for old time's
sake
Come save me, from this crazy world
I'm in
My dreams are weak and falling
into this
Hole inside my bed
Where the pieces of this life we put
together
Oh can't you see it in my eyes
Lisa, you're the dancer to the song
Without your music
All the words just seem so wrong
And like a picture you keep fading
Your colors running dry
Save the pieces of this life we put
together.
Oh Can't you see it in my eyes?
Oh won't you save a place for me tonight,
Find a space for me and light
this corner of my lonely life
Lisa, my beginning and my end
I need ya
You're my lover and my friend
My future would be brighter if you'd
only answer yes
And help me put these pieces back
together
Can't you see it in my eyes
And won't you save a place for me
tonight
Find a space for me and light
this corner of my lonely life
solo
Can't you see it in my eyes
Lisa, One more time for old time's sake
Lisa, save me from this world I'm in
Lisa, my beginning and my end
Lisa, you're my lover and my friend
Lisa, Lisa
Lisa, Lisa
fade out

Well it's been building up inside of me for
Oh, I don't know how long
I don't know why, but I keep thinkin'
Something's bound to go wrong
When she looks in my eyes
And makes me realize
When she says
*Chorus*
Don't worry baby, don't worry baby
don't worry baby
everything will turn out alright
Don't worry baby (don't worry baby)
don't worry baby (don't worry baby)
I guess I should have kept my mouth shut
when I started to brag about my car
But i can't back out now because
I pushed the other guys too far
she makes me come alive
and makes me want to ride
when she says
*repeat chorus)
She tells me
"Baby when you leave today just
Take along my love with you
And if you knew how much I love you baby
nothing could go wrong with you"
Oh what she does to me
when she brings love to me
and she says
*repeat chorus*

Are you cuckoo? are you?
Are you cuckoo? Me too
Are you cuckoo, are you?
Are you cuckoo? Me to
Are you coo? Are you coo?
You think of it
you build it up
You tear it down
(Are you cuckoo)
You think you're a groove
Know how to move
But look like a clown
(are you cuckoo)
Without a doubt
When you get out
He's taking your place
(Are you cuckoo)
A guy that is slick
Who can be quick
Who's got a good face
(Are you cuckoo)
But what's in his head
Might as well be lead
Repeat chorus
Look at the kid
All that he did
Is taking effect
(Are you cuckoo)
Then there's a guy
He's getting high
He's gonna crash
(Are you cuckoo)
I gotta be quick
To stop his chick
Spending his cash
(Are you cuckoo)
While he stood to look
She came and took
Repeat chorus
Making it rhyme
Keeping in time
You can't relax
(Are you cuckoo)
Write a new line
Work overtime
To pay your tax
(Are you cuckoo)
Stand in the queue
We'll see to you
If you're a success
(Are you cuckoo)
You're in the hat
Just think of that
Same as the rest
(Are you cuckoo)
But you know fate
Can't come too late
Repeat chorus
Hi Charlie, Welcome back Charlie,
Are you cuckoo Charlie? Me too!

I'm hoping you'll write a letter
i tried to make a call uh uh
just to see how you're feelin'
if you're missin' me
i wanna cry yeah
and I gotta let you go
but there's on who needs to see you
and i've really gotta know
*chorus*
girl, what i mean is what i say
all the cheatin' that i did
was in your head
girl, ah did you believe those lies
and can't you see
we're wasting all this time
i hope you need me
but you don't want to know
or stand his love i have inside
(just ask no questions)
I'm trying to face it
this pain just seems to grow
and maybe try and see it my way
are you still too young to know
*repeat chorus*
my love, what i mean is what i say
i just gotta let you go
my love, i tried to tell
i gotta let you know
my love, but you don't want to know

I phoned the local station
I kinda like the things they're playing
So I settled down to listen nice and easy.
The DJ plays our kind of music
He's asked us folk to choose it
But it all adds up to another
night without you.

Now and then he takes a phone-in
And anyone who's feeling lonely
Can call him up
And make a little conversation
And in the night there's music playing
Soft behind the words he's saying
Would I like to make a dedication

This song I wanna dedicate to you
And to everyone who feels the way we do
As long as you're a part of me
The song will play on endlessly
I hope my dedication's getting through

I'm standing in this lonely city
There's not enough to keep me busy
And we can't meet til I can take
a short vacation
You'll never know how much I love you
Lying here thinking of you
And all I got is a late night music station

This song I wanna dedicate to you
And to everyone who feels the way we do
As long as you're a part of me
The song will play on endlessly,
I hope my dedication's getting thru
Dedication playing just for you.

This song I wanna dedicate to you
And to everyone who feels the way we do
As long as you're a part of me
the song will play on endlessly
I hope my dedication's gettin' thru
Dedication's playing just for you
