The Monkees Album

(She) She told me that she loved me,
And like a fool I believed her from the start,
(She) She said she'd never hurt me,
But, then she turned around and broke my heart.
Why am I standing here Missing her and wishing she were here?
(Hey) She only did me wrong,
(Hey)I'm better off alone.
(She) She devoured all my sweet love,
Took all I had and then she fed me dirt,
(She) She laughed when I was crying,
It was such a joke to see the way it hurt.
Why am I standing here Missing her and wishing she were here?
(Hey) She only did me wrong,
(Hey) I'm better off alone.
And now I know just why she keeps me hanging 'round, (Hanging 'round) She needs someone to walk on so her feet don't touch the ground, (Don't touch the ground)
But, I love her! (Love her)
I need her! (Need her)
I want her! (Want her)
Yeah!, (Yeah), Yeah!, (Yeah) Yeah!-Yeah!-Yeah!-Yeah!-She!
Why am I standing here Missing her and wishing she were here?
(Hey) She only did me wrong, now,
(Hey) I'm better off alone.
(She)Why am I missing her?
(She) I should be kissing her!
(She) Why am I missing her?
(She) I should be kissing her!

When love comes knockin' at your door
Just open up and let it in
It's gonna be a magic carpet ride
So little girl now don't you run and hide

I know that you've been hurt before
But don't you be afraid no more
Throw off the chains that bind and leave the past behind
When love comes knockin' at your door

When love comes knockin' at your door
(I know that you're afraid of lovin' me)
Just open up and let it in
(But girl don't fight it and you'll see)
It's gonna be a magic carpet ride
(That lovin' me will make you high)
So little girl now don't you run and hide

You'll see a rainbow every day
(Cause baby I, I know that you've been hurt before)
The sun will shine in every way
(But don't you be afraid no more)
Throw off the chains that bind and leave the past behind
No need to worry anymore
When love comes knockin' at your door
At your door...
At your door...
At your door...

Mary, Mary, where're you going to?
Mary, Mary, can I go too?
This one thing I will vow you,
Id' rather die than to live without you.
Mary, Mary, tell me truly,
What did I do to make you leave me?
Whatever it was I didn't mean to,
You know I never would try and hurt you.
What more, Mary, can I do,
To prove that my love is truly yours?
I've done more now,
Than a clear-thinking man would do.
Mary, Mary, it's not over,
Where you go, I will follow,
âЂ?Til I win your love again,
And walk beside you, but until then,
Mary, Mary, where're you going to?
Mary, where you going to?

I know about the guy who treated you so bad
He took your love and then just walked away
I know that you have got a reason to be sad
But help is on its way

Hold on girl, be a little bit stronger
Hold on girl, wait a little bit longer
Hold on girl, help is on its way

I know you feel as though your world is at an end
But you don't have to live with yesterday
I promise you the sun is gonna shine again
And help is on its way

Hold on girl, now that we are together
Hold on girl, things are gonna be better
Hold on girl, help is on its way

I promise you the sun is gonna shine again
And help is on its way

Hold on girl, be a little bit stronger
Hold on girl, wait a little bit longer
Hold on girl, help is on its way

She knows her mind alright, your Auntie Grizelda
She says she knows my kind, she might, maybe so
Oh yeah, she's raised you right, your Auntie Grizelda
You only know the things she wants you to know

I know she's having a fit
She doesn't like me a bit
No bird of grace ever lit on Auntie Grizelda

You can't begrudge her style, your Auntie Grizelda
She couldn't budge a smile and do it for free
So righteous making fudge, your Auntie Grizelda
So proper judging others over her tea

You look just like her you do
I know by looking at you
That you've been listening to your Auntie Grizelda

Oh no, don't look at me like Auntie Grizelda
It takes much more to be someone of your own
You've got to make it free from Auntie Grizelda
Or just like her, you'll have to make it alone

I know she's having a fit
She doesn't like me a bit
No bird of grace ever lit on Auntie Grizelda

Auntie Grizelda
Auntie Grizelda

I I I I I'm not your stepping stone
I I I I I'm not your stepping stone

You're trying to make your mark in society
You're using all the tricks that you used on me
You're reading all those high fashion magazines
The clothes you're wearin' girl are causing public scenes

I said
I I I I I'm not your stepping stone
I I I I I'm not your stepping stone

Not your stepping stone
Not your stepping stone

When I first met you girl you didn't have no shoes
Now you're walking 'round like you're front page news
You've been awful careful 'bout the friends you choose
But you won't find my name in your book of Who's Who

I said
I I I I I'm not your stepping stone
I I I I I'm not your stepping stone

Not your stepping stone
Not your stepping stone

Look out, here comes tomorrow,
That's when I have to choose.
How I wish I could borrow someone else's shoes.

Mary, oh what a sweet girl,
Lips like strawberry pie.
Sandra, long hair and beat girl,
Can't make up my mind.

I see all kinds of sorrow,
Wish I only loved one.
Look out, here comes tomorrow,
Oh how I wish tomorrow would never come.

Told them both that I loved them,
Said it, and it was true.
But I can't have both of them,
Don't know what to do.

I see all kinds of sorrow,
Wish I only loved one.
Look out, here comes tomorrow,
Oh how I wish tomorrow would never come.

(Spoken)
Mary, I love you.
Sandra, I love you.

Well I see all kinds of sorrow,
Wish I only loved one.
Look out, here comes tomorrow,
Oh how I wish tomorrow would never come.

(Spoken)
I love you, darling.
I love you.

Girl, you look mighty good to me
And I know that you got to be
The kind of girl I could love

You've got the sweetest pair of eyes
And your kiss would be paradise
The kind of girl I could love

You do something to my soul that no one's ever done
If you're looking for true love, let me be the one

Girl, deep in my soul I'm sure
And my heart has no doubt that you're
The kind of girl I could love

Girl, you look mighty good to me
And I know that you got to be
The kind of girl I could love

They'll be birds singing everywhere
And the wind will be blowing through your hair
I'll look into your eyes and wait for the prize
Your lips kissing mine with a love that is real
And you'll look so young and fair

On the day we fall in love, you and me
On the day we fall in love, you'll see

There'll be rainbows reaching across the sky
And we'll both be so happy, we'll cry
We'll walk hand-in-hand, in snow or in sand
Whether roses are blooming or snowmen stand by
Time will stop for you and I

On the day we fall in love, it will be
On the day we fall in love, you'll see

And if the lines that I say fall apart
It's because I won't know where to start
But you'll understand when I say them to you
'Cause they'll come straight from my heart

On the day we fall in love, you and me
On the day we fall in love, you'll see
You'll see
You'll see

Sometime in the morning
A simple thought had occurred to you and you hold her
And tell her all the things you never told her
Your love has shown me things I never thought I could see
I didn't know
It could be done so easily
Now I know
You're where it is for me

Sometime in the evening
You're sitting there by the fireside and she'll touch you
And you'll realize how much you never knew before
How much you couldn't see
You didn't know
It could be done so easily
Now you know
She's all a girl could be

Now in her child-like eyes
You see the beauty there
You know it was always there
And you need no longer wear a disguise

Sometime in the morning
You'll just reach out and she will be there
Close as the summer air

Sometime in the morning
She will be there
Sometime in the morning
She will be there

Every face that I see
Is all wrapped up in frowns
And unfortunately
It kind of gets me down

Laugh
'Cause the music is funny
Yeah the bass sounds off beat, ain't that neat
Laugh
(Ho ha ha ha)
When you lose all your money
(Ho ha ha ha)
Or you can't find your shoes
(Ho ha ha ha)
To cover your feet
(Ho ha ha ha)

It's not so hard to see exactly what I'm after
Sometimes a tear should fall
But I require giggles and chuckles

Laugh
(Ho ha ha ha)
When you keep it a secret
(Ho ha ha ha)
And it seem to've been known
(Ho ha ha ha)
By the rest of the world

Laugh
(Ho ha ha ha)
When you go to a party
(Ho ha ha ha)
And you can't tell the boys
(Ho ha ha ha)
From the girls

Every face that I see
Is all wrapped up in frowns
And unfortunately
It kind of gets me down

Laugh
(Ho ha ha ha)
At the things that are wrong
(Ho ha ha ha)
If you think it's a song
(Ho ha ha ha)
Then laugh
(Ho ha ha ha)

I thought love was only true in fairy tales,
Meant for someone else, but not for me.
Oh, love was out to get me,
That's the way it seemed,
Disappointment haunted all my dreams.

Then I saw her face,
Now I'm a believer.
Not a trace,
Of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love,
I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried.

I thought love was more or less a giving thing,
Seems the more I gave, the less I got.
Oh, what's the use in trying,
All you get is pain,
When I needed sunshine, I got rain.

Then I saw her face,
Now I'm a believer.
Not a trace,
Of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love,
I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried.

Oh, well, all right.

Love was out to get me,
That's the way it seemed,
Disappointment haunted all my dreams.

Then I saw her face,
Now I'm a believer.
Not a trace,
Of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love,
I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried.

Yes, I saw her face,
Now I'm a believer.
Not a trace,
Of doubt in my mind.
Said, i'm a believer, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Don't listen to Linda
She said all those things before
She's just a pretender,
And though you couldn't love her more
She'll lead you on, and then one day
She'll say you'll have to part
Don't listen to Linda
She'll only break your heart.

Don't listen to Linda
If you want some good advice,
Just try to remember,
She did it once, she'll do it twice
There's more to her little games,
Than your eyes can see,
Don't listen to Linda,
Or you'll end up like me.

You'll never understand her
All the presents you could hand her,
Could never be enough, oh no,
So, don't underestimate her,
'Cause sooner or later,
The goings gonna start to get rough.

Don't listen to Linda,
Don't believe the things you hear.
You'll end up, contender,
For the "Loser Of The Year".
I've said everything I can
To try and make you see
Don't listen to Linda,
Or you'll end up like me.

By Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart

People come and people go
Movin' fast and movin' slow
I'm in a crowd yet I'm all alone
The road is long the road is rough
I do believe I've had enough
I'm gonna turn around and head for home.

And I hope you're there
And you still care
And if you do,
I'll spend my life with you.

I've had all the time I need
To rearrange my mind and lead
The life I thought I wanted yesterday
I played a game that couldn't last
And now some mem'ries from the past
Have turned my thoughts around a different way.

And girl, I find
You're still on my mind.
And if you want me to
I'll spend ny life with you.

(Instumental)

And girl, I find
You're still on my mind.
And if you want me to
I'll spend ny life with you.

If you think I want the life you choose to live
I don't think I want the love you've got to give
If you think my goals could be so trivial and small
Then, I don't think you know me at all

Born between the covers of your fashion books
You think you can make it, girl, on just your looks
But you could never bring me up
Between us stands a wall
No, I don't think you know me at all

Believing in the promise painted in your smile
I've chased what I was running from, girl, all my life
I've known you a hundred times in memories I recall, but
I don't think you know me at all
I don't think you know me at all.

Look out, here comes tomorrow,
That's when I have to choose.
How I wish I could borrow someone else's shoes.

Mary, oh what a sweet girl,
Lips like strawberry pie.
Sandra, long hair and beat girl,
Can't make up my mind.

I see all kinds of sorrow,
Wish I only loved one.
Look out, here comes tomorrow,
Oh how I wish tomorrow would never come.

Told them both that I loved them,
Said it, and it was true.
But I can't have both of them,
Don't know what to do.

I see all kinds of sorrow,
Wish I only loved one.
Look out, here comes tomorrow,
Oh how I wish tomorrow would never come.

(Spoken)
Mary, I love you.
Sandra, I love you.

Well I see all kinds of sorrow,
Wish I only loved one.
Look out, here comes tomorrow,
Oh how I wish tomorrow would never come.

(Spoken)
I love you, darling.
I love you.
