 Are we really happy with this lonely game we play? Looking for the right words to say Searching, but not finding understanding anyway We're lost in this masquerade Both afraid to say we're just too far away From being close together from the start We tried to talk it over but the words got in the way We're lost inside this lonely game we play Thoughts of leaving disappear each time I see your eyes And no matter how hard I try To understand the reason why we carry on this way We're lost in this masquerade instrumental break We tried to talk it over but the words got in the way We're lost inside this lonely game we play Thoughts of leaving disappear each time I see your eyes And no matter how hard I try To understand the reason why we carry on this way We're lost in a masquerade We're lost in a masquerade And we're lost in a masquerade

Here I am just sittin' around With an old piano in a vacant room And the same old feelin's come again So uncertain, hurt, and scared I thought I grew but here I am again I should've seen the train'd be passin' through I thought I knew And I can't make music No, I can't make rhyme No, I can't do anything to take me away this time To take me away this time I know it's an old cliche to say I feel I'm gonna die And I hear it's gone out to cry So I'm gonna say some kind words to you I'd like to wish you luck and hope That life will be with someone else Just like I thought it would be with me But I can't see And I can't make music No, I can't make rhyme No, I can't do anything to take me away this time I can't make music And I can't make rhyme No, I can't do anything to take me away this time

When I was young I'd listen to the radio Waitin' for my favorite songs When they played I'd sing along It made me smile Those were such happy times and not so long ago How I wondered where they'd gone But they're back again just like a long lost friend All the songs I loved so well Every sha-la-la-la, every wo-oh-wo-oh still shines Every shing-ling-a-ling that they're starting to sing so fine When they get to the part where he's breakin' her heart It can really make me cry just like before It's yesterday once more shooby-doo-lang-lang, shooby-doo-lang-lang Lookin' back on how it was in years gone by And the good times that I had Makes today seem rather sad So much has changed It was songs of love that I would sing to them And I'd memorize each word Those old melodies still sound so good to me As they melt the years away Every sha-la-la-la, every wo-oh-wo-oh still shines (oldies, oldies, but goodies) Every shing-ling-a-ling that they're starting to sing so fine All my best memories come back clearly to me Some can even make me cry just like before It's yesterday once more Every sha-la-la-la, every wo-oh-wo-oh still shines Every shing-ling-a-ling that they're starting to sing so fine

Well, she got her Daddy's car and she cruised to the hamburger stand now Seems she forgot all about the library like she told her old man now And with the radio blastin' goes crusin' just as fast as she can now And she'll have fun, fun, fun till her Daddy takes the T-Bird away Well, you knew all along that your Dad was gettin' wise to you now And since he took your set of keys you've been thinkin' that your fun is all through now But you can come along with me cause we got a lot of things to do now And we'll have fun, fun, fun now that Daddy took the T-Bird away

Why does the sun go on shining? Why does the sea rush to shore? Don't they know it's the end of the world Cause you don't love me anymore? Why do the birds go on singing? Why do the stars glow above? Don't they know it's the end of the world? It ended when I lost your love I wake up in the morning and I wonder Why everything's the same as it was I can't understand, no I can't understand How life goes on the way it does Why does my heart go on beating? Why do these eyes of mine cry? Don't they know it's the end of the world? It ended when you said goodbye Don't they know it's the end of the world? It ended when you said goodbye

 The street was deserted late Friday night We were buggin' each other while we sat at the light We both poppped our clutch when the light turned green You should have heard the whine from my screamin' machine I flew past La Brea down to Crescent Heights And all the Jag could see were my six tail lights He passed me at Doheny and I started to swerve But I pulled her out and there we were at Deadman's Curve Deadman's curve is no place to play. Deadman's curve! (spoken) Well, the last thing I remember, Doc, I started to swerve, and then I saw the Jag slide into The curb, I know I'll never forget that horrible sight, When I found out for myself, that everyone was right Won't come back from Deadman's curve! Deadman's curve is no place to play Deadman's curve, you best keep away! Deadman's curve, I can hear them say: Won't come back from Deadman's curve!

 Johnny Angel, Johnny Angel, Johnny Angel, Johnny Angel You're an angel to me Johnny Angel how I love him How I tingle when he passes by Everytime he says "hello" my heart begins to fly Johnny Angel, how I want him He's got something that I can't resist But he doesn't even know that I exist I'm in Heaven, I get carried away I dream of him and me and how it's gonna be Other fellas call me up for a date But I just sit and wait I'd rather concentrate on Johnny Angel cause I love him And I pray that someday he'll love me And together we will see how lovely Heaven will be And together we will see how lovely Heaven will be

They say that you're a run-around lover Though you say it isn't so But if you put me down for another I'll know, beleive me, I'll know Cause the night has a thousand eyes And a thousand eyes can't help but see If you aren't true to me So remember when you tell those little white lies that The night has a thousand eyes One of these days you're gonna be sorry Cause your game I'm gonna play And you'll find out without really tryin' Each time that my kissed stray that The night has a thousand eyes And a thousand eyes will see me through And no matter what I do I could never disguise all those little white lies cause The night has a thousand eyes So remember when you tell those little white lies that The night has a thousand eyes!

 Our day will come and we'll have everything We'll share the joy falling in love can bring No one can tell me that I'm too young to know I love you so and you love me Our day will come if we just wait awhile No tears for us, think, love, and wear a smile Our dreams have magic because we'll always stay in love this way Our day will come Our day will come Our day will come

 One fine day you'll look at me And you will know our love was meant to be One fine day you're gonna want me for your girl Your arms I long for will open wide And you'll be proud to have me right by your side One fine day you're gonna want me for your girl instrumental One fine day you're gonna want me for your girl One fine day, woah, yeah
