I Gotta Move (Davies)
I don't wanna get left behind
Gonna love my baby all the time
If I don't wanna get left alone
I gotta move on down my baby's home
And if my baby isn't there
I'm gonna fill my gap and comb my hair
Gotta move, gotta move
Gotta move, gotta move
All my life I've had to move
Always failed to stay in school
As I move down this very long road
Sometimes I wished I'd stayed at home
Where I'm going no one knows
Only know I gotta go
You gotta move, gotta move
Gotta move, gotta move
I don't wanna get left behind
Gonna love my baby all the time
If I don't wanna get left alone
I gotta move on down my baby's home
And if baby isn't there
I'm gonna brush my boots and comb my hair
I gotta move, gotta move
I gotta move, gotta move

To see my baby
That's enough
I'm going home
It's all right

Tired of Waiting for You (Davies)
I'm so tired
Tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
I'm so tired
Tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
I was a lonely soul

Do what you like
But please don't keep-a me waiting

Come on Now (Davies)
Come on now
Come on, let the music get you movin'

See the clock, it's gettin' late now
Get you coat and fix your face
So come on now (baby come on now)
Well come on now
Well it's getting late and we better go
(It's getting late and we better go)

Look for Me Baby (Davies)
(Look for me baby)
Well you can search high and low if you want
But you won't find me
(Look for me baby)
Well, you search the mountains
Look in the sea
Look all around the world
But you won't find a love
A love like mine
You'll be low
And cry misery[?]
'Cause you got no love
(Look for me baby)
In your desperation
You're going to look for someone else
Well now, search the mountains
Search the sea
Look around the world
But you won't find me
(Look for me baby)
You'll be looking for me
(Look for me baby)
Well now, I've never felt so sad
I've never had it so bad
You'll search the oceans
But you won't find me no more
You'll be looking for me
(Look for me baby)
Well you can search high and low if you want
But you won't find me
(Look for me baby)
Well you can climb the mountains
And swim in the sea
Look all around the world
But you won't find a love
A love like mine
You'll be low
And cry misery
'Cause you got no love
(Look for me baby)
In your desperation
You're going to look for someone else
Well now, search the mountains
Search the sea
Look around the world
But you won't find me
(Look for me baby)
You'll be looking for me
(Look for me baby)
You'll be looking for me
(Look for me baby)
You'll be looking for me
(Look for me baby)
Got My Feet on the Ground (Davies)
I wanna lot out of life, but I know my limitations
Guess I want a lot of things and got my inclinations
Got my feet on the ground, and I'm standing on my own
I don't need no one
I don't need no one
I've learned a lot out of life, watchin' other folks mistakes
Funny things that they can get for finding out too late
I got my feet on the ground, and I'm standing on my own
I don't need no one
I don't need no one
Well I don't need nobody else
All I need's a single ticket
When I travel on my own
Not afraid to be alone
I got my feet upon the ground, and I'm standing on my own
When I travel far and wide
And looking for a four leaf clover
Don't mind if I can't find it, got no chip upon my shoulder
Got my feet on the ground, and I'm standing on my own
I don't need no one
I don't need no one
Well I don't need nobody else
All I need's a single ticket
When I travel on my own
Not afraid to be alone
I got my feet upon the ground, and I'm standing on my own
When I travel far and wide
And looking for a four leaf clover
Don't mind if I can't find it, got no chip upon my shoulder
Got my feet on the ground, and I'm standing on my own
I don't need no one
I don't need no one
(repeat)
Naggin' Woman (Anderson/West)
You know you keep on naggin' babe
Complaining I'm living in sin[?]
The reason you keep on naggin'
Is because you found another man
Well keep on naggin' woman
Naggingest woman in this land
Well, the minute you stop your naggin'
You're gonna find another man
You know you got me to the play of the pain[?]
Oh honey, why can't you just trust me[?]
You got me anywhere anyone
You baby just can't be beat
So stop your naggin' woman
Nagging me right off my face
Well baby if you weren't naggin'
Honey you'd be so sweet
You know you keep on naggin' babe
Complaining I'm living in sin[?]
The reason you keep on naggin'
Is because you want another man
But keep on naggin' woman
Naggingest woman in this land
Well, the minute you stop your naggin'
Baby, you're gonna find another man
All right, for sure...
Nothin' in the World Can Stop Me Worryin' (Davies)
Met a girl, fell in love, glad as I can be
Met a girl, fell in love, glad as I can be
But I think all the time, is she true to me?
'Cause there's nothing in this world to stop me worryin' 'bout that girl
I found out I was wrong, she was just two timing
I found out I was wrong, she just kept on lying
Now she tries to tell the truth, and I just can't believe
'Cause there's nothing in this world to stop me worryin' 'bout that girl
Tell me who can I turn to, just who can I believe?
Tried to put her out of my mind, she'll only cause me grief
I love that girl, whatever she's done, you know it hurts me deeply
'Cause there's nothing in this world to stop me worryin' 'bout that girl
I know she's been with other fellas, why does she keep on lying?
It hurts me so when she says nothing, I really feel like dying
I ache inside until I think[?], I know it's just my pride
'Cause there's nothing in this world to stop me worryin' 'bout that girl
'Cause there's nothing in this world to stop me worryin' 'bout that girl
Wonder Where My Baby Is Tonight (Davies)
Well I wonder where my baby is tonight
I wonder where my baby is tonight
I wonder where my baby's gone
Hope she'll do no wrong
Lookin' for my baby, she's not around
I wonder where my baby is tonight
I wonder what on Earth's my baby's doin'
If she's not at home there's trouble brewin'
If she really loves me she'll believe in what I say
Tryin' hard to find out where my baby is tonight
If she's not at home I'd better go
Well I only know I wanna see my baby
Went to call for her but she is gone right out of sight
Looking for my baby
She's not around
I wonder where my baby is tonight
Well I wonder where my baby is tonight
I wonder where my baby is tonight
I wonder where my baby's gone
Hope she'll do no wrong
Lookin' for my baby, she's not around
I wonder where my baby is tonight
I hope that everything's gonna be all right
Well I wonder where my baby is tonight

Don't Ever Change (Davies)
Don't ever change
Don't ever change from the way that you are now
If you ever change
I would be sad 'cause I wanted you just as you are
Don't you ever change now
Always be the same now
No, don't ever change from the way that you were
Last night
Don't ever change
What can you prove if you're changing your ways to me?
Please don't ever change
Please don't be blind 'cause I need you can't you see?
Don't you ever change now
Always be the same now
No, don't ever change from the way that you were
Last night
Don't ever change
Don't ever change, I'd be sad
And I would cry
If you leave me
Don't ever leave me
Don't ever change
Don't ever change from the way that you are now
If you ever change
I would be sad 'cause I wanted you just as you are
Don't you ever change now
Always be the same now
No, don't ever change from the way that you were
Last night
Don't ever change
Don't ever change
So Long (Davies)
So long, so long
Now I'm on my way
So long, so long
See you all some day
Don't know where I'm heading for
Turn my back and walk away
Don't think about what's left behind
Otherwise
Think about the good times
Think about the people you love
Think about the sun that is gone
And there ain't no use me talking 'bout the things we used to do
So long, so long
I'm better by myself
So long, so long
Don't need nobody else
If I fade from people's hearts
I'm glad I left them far behind
There's one thing that holds me still
I'm thinkin'
The memory of your kiss
The memory of your sweet caress
The memory of you love that is gone
And there ain't no use me talking 'bout the things we used to do
So long, so long
Got no time for tears
So long, so long
Got music in my ears
Got no time for Muswell town
Gonna look around now
My old town was good to me
But oh...
Guess I'll say so long now
Don't even say a word
I'll turn my back and walk away, but oh...
The day that I've seen everything I promise to return
So long, so long
Now I'm on my way
So long, so long
See you all some day
So long, so long
Now I'm on my way
So long, so long
You Shouldn't Be Sad (Davies)
Can't you see (can't you see)
Can't you see by the look in my eyes
Can't you see (can't you see)
Can't you see I'm in paradise
I feel all right
I feel okay
'Cause I'm in love (I'm in love)
And you shouldn't be sad
People say (people say)
That love can do funny things
But I say (but I say)
I'm gonna take what the future brings
I feel all right
I feel okay
'Cause I'm in love (I'm in love)
And you shouldn't be sad
No, you can't be sad my darling
If you say you love me too
Well, it seems that all the good things I've done
Done it all for you
Done it all, done it all for you
Can't you see (can't you see)
Can't you see by the look in my eyes
Can't you see (can't you see)
Can't you see I'm in paradise
I feel all right
I feel okay
'Cause I'm in love (I'm in love)
And you shouldn't be sad
I'm in love
And I know, and I know,
And I know, and I know
That you shouldn't be sad
Something Better Beginning (Davies)
They said this was the last dance
The lights went dim as I looked round the floor
Then I saw you standing there
Then I walked up to you and I asked for this dance
The band had started to play
I held you hand and I sighed
Is this the start of another heart breaker
Or something better beginning
Something better beginning
Something better beginning
I never thought I'd love like this until I met you
I found something I thought I'd never had
The only time I feel all right is when I'm with you
I wonder how long it will last
I walked you home in the night
The moon shone bright as we walked hand in hand
I've known this joy once before
But it came to an end just as it had began
Each step that I took with you
Brought one thing closer to my mind
Is this the start of another heart breaker
Or something better beginning
Something better beginning
Something better beginning
