SinceThe70s Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 New Orleans queens Sure know how to schmooze it Maybe for some that seems alright When I step out, strut down with my sugar She'd best not talk like Barry White Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Beard Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 You can dance-every dance with the guy Who gives you the eye, let him hold you tight You can smile-every smile for the man Who held your hand neath the pale moon light  But don't forget who's takin' you home And in whose arms you're gonna be So darlin' save the last dance for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinceThe70s Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 The old folks say that ya gotta end your date by ten If you're out on a date and you bring it home late it's a sin There just ain't no excusin', you know you're gonna lose and never win I'll say it again  And it's all because your mama don't dance and your daddy don't rock and roll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I'm never gonna dance again Guilty feet have got no rhythm Though it's easy to pretend I know you're not a fool  Should've known better than to cheat a friend And waste the chance that I've been given So I'm never gonna dance again The way I danced with you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinceThe70s Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 What if I say I'm not like the others? What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? You're the pretender What if I say I will never surrender? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Oh yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh) Pretending I'm doing well (ooh ooh) My need is such I pretend too much I'm lonely but no one can tell  Oh yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh) Adrift in a world of my own (ooh ooh) I play the game but to my real shame You've left me to dream all alone  Too real is this feeling of make believe Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal  (While I love Freddie Mercury, when I Googled the lyrics for this song, his version, not The Platters far supireor version was the one listed with lyrics.)

row_33 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Day after day I'm more confusedYet I look for the light in the pouring rainYou know that's a game that I hate to loseI'm feelin' the strain, ain't it a shame  Oh, give me the beat boys, and free my soulI want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Beard Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 You got a smile so bright You know you could have been a candle I'm holding you so tight You know you could have been a handle The way you swept me off my feet You know you could've been a broom The way you smell so sweet You know you could've been some perfume  Well you could've been anything that you wanted to And I can tell The way you do the things you do The way you do the thing you do, ah baby The way you do the things you do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Beard Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 At first I was afraid, I was petrified Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong And I grew strong And I learned how to get along And so you're back From outer space I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face I should have changed that stupid lock, I should have made you leave your key If I'd known for just one second you'd be back to bother me Go on now, go, walk out the door Just turn around now 'Cause you're not welcome anymore Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye Do you think I'd crumble Did you think I'd lay down and die? Â Oh no, not I, I will survive Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive I've got all my life to live And I've got all my love to give and I'll survive I will survive, hey, hey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 (edited) Never too soon to be throughBeing cool too much too soonToo much for me too much for youYou're gonna lose in time  Don't be afraid to show your friends that you hurt inside, insidePain's part of life, don't hide behind your false prideIt's a lie, your lie  If you see me getting mighty if you see me getting highKnock me downI'm not bigger than life   Edited June 9, 2019 by Gugny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
