Lyrics

I Saw Her Standing There
02:56
Also available on:
Tiffany - Tiffany (1987) (as I Saw Him Standing There)
Well, she was just seventeen, you know what I mean.
And the way she looked was way beyond compare.
So, how could I dance with another,
Oh, when I saw her standing there?

Well, she looked at me and I, I could see
That before too long I'd fall in love with her.
She wouldn't dance with another,
Oh, when I saw her standing there.

Well, my heart went zoom
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine!

Oh, we dance through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long I fell in love with her.
Now I'll never dance with another,
Oh, since I saw her standing there.

Well, my heart went zoom
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine!

Oh, we dance through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long I fell in love with her.
Now I'll never dance with another,
Oh, since I saw her standing there.
Oh, since I saw her standing there.
Oh, since I saw her standing there.
Misery
01:50
You've been treating me bad, Misery.

I'm the kind of guy
Who never used to cry,
But now you're treating me bad, Misery.

I've lost you now I'm sure,
I won't see you no more.
It's gonna be a drag, Misery.

I remember all the little things we've done.
You'll remember and you'll be the lonely one, lonely one.
Please come back to me,
'Cause ev'ryone can see
Without you I will be in misery.
Anna (Go to Him)
02:58
You called and asked me girl
To set you free, girl.
You say he loves you more than me
I would set you free,
Go with him,
Ah, go with him, ah ...

Anna, girl, before you go now
I want you to know now
That I still love you so
But if he loves you more
Go with him.

Ah, all of my life
I've been searching for a girl
To love me like I love you.
Oh, now, but every girl I've ever had
Breaks my heart and leaves me sad
What am I, what am I supposed to do oh, oh, oh, oh.

Anna, just one more thing, girl
You give back your ring to me
And I would set you free,
Go with him.

Ah, all of my life
I've been searching for a girl
To love me like I love you
But let me tell you now about every girl I've ever had
Breaks my heart and leaves me sad
What am I, what am I supposed to do oh, oh, oh, oh.

Anna, just one more thing, girl
You give back your ring to me
And I would set you free,
Go with him,
Go with him,
Ah, go with him.
You can go with him, girl.
Go with him.
Chains
02:27
Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains
And they ain't the kind that you can see
Woh! It' chains of love
That got a hold on me, yeah!

Chains, well, I can't break away from those chains
Can't run around 'cause I'm not free
Woh! Those chains of love
Won't let me be

I wanna tell you pretty baby
I think you're fine
I'd like to love you, but darling,
I'm imprisoned by those

Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains
And they ain't the kind that you can see
Woh! It' chains of love
That got a hold on me, yeah!

Please believe me when I tell you
Your lips look sweet
I'd like to kiss them
But I can't break away from all of those

Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains
And they ain't the kind that you can see
Woh! It' chains of love
That got a hold on me, yeah!

Chains! Chains of love, chains of love
Boys
02:28
I've been told when a boy kissed a girl
She takes a trip around the world
Yeah-hey (pap shuba), hey-hey, hey-hey
Yeah, she said you do

My girl says when I kissed her lips
She get a thrill through her finger tips
Yeah-hey, hey-hey, hey-hey
Yeah, she said you do

Well I talk about boys (yeah-yeah boys)
Don't you know I mean boys?
Well I talk about boys now
Ah, boys!
Well I talk about boys now
What a bundle of joys

Well I talk about boys now

Ask Me Why
02:28
I love you
Can't you tell me things I want to know
And it's true
That it really only goes to show
That I know, that I, I, I, I
Should never never never be blue

Now you're mine
My happiness still makes me cry
And in time
You'll understand the reason why
If I cry it's not because I'm sad
But you're the only love that I've ever had

I can't believe, it's happened to me
I can't conceive of anymore misery
Ask me why, I'll say I love you
And I'm always thinking of you

I love you
Can't you tell me things I want to know
And it's true
That it really only goes to show
That I know, that I, I, I, I
Should never never never be blue

Ask me why, I'll say I love you
And I'm always thinking of you
I can't believe, it's happened to me
I can't conceive of anymore misery
Ask me why, I'll say I love you
And I'm always thinking of you
You, you, you
Please Please Me
02:03
Last night I said these words to my girl
I know you never even try girl
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Please, please me, oh yeah, like I please you

You don't need me to show the way love
Why do I always have to stay love
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Please, please me, oh yeah, like I please you

I don't want to sound complaining
But you know there's always rain in my heart
I do all the pleasing with you
It's so hard to season with you
Oh yeah, why do you make me blue

Last night I said these words to my girl
I know you never even try girl
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Please, please me, oh yeah, like I please you

Baby It's You
02:38
It's not the way you smile,
That touched my heart.
It's not the way you kiss,
That tears me apart. Oh! Oh!
Many, many, many nights roll by,
I't sit alone at home and cry over you,
What can I do? I can't help myself
'Cause baby, it's you.

You should hear what they say about you,(cheat! cheat!)
They say they say you're never, never, ever been true.(cheat! cheat!)
It doesn't matter what they say,
I know I'm gonna love you any old way,
What can I do, when it's true?
I don't want nobody, nobody
'Cause baby, it's you.

It doesn't matter what they say,

Don't leave me alone,
Come on home
'Cause baby, it's you.
Do You Want to Know a Secret
01:59
You'll never know how much I really love you
You'll never know how much I really care

Listen, do you want to know a secret
Do you promise not to tell, whoa...
Closer, let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear

I'm in love with you

Listen, do you want to know a secret
Do you promise not to tell, whoa...
Closer, let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear

I'm in love with you

I've known the secret for a week or two
Nobody knows just we two

Listen, do you want to know a secret
Do you promise not to tell, whoa...
Closer, let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear

I'm in love with you
A Taste of Honey
02:05
Winds may blow o'er the icy sea,
I'll take with me the warmth of thee,
A taste of haney,
A taste much sweeter than vine.

I will return, I'll return,
I'll come back for the honey and you.

I'll leave behind my heart to wear
And may it e'er remind you of
A taste of honey,
A taste much sweeter than vine.

I will return, I'll return,
I'll come back for the honey and you.

He ne'er came back to his love so fair
And so she died dreaming of his kiss.
His kiss was honey,
A taste more much better than wine.

I will return, I'll return,
I'll come back for the honey and you.
There's a Place
01:53
There there's a place
Where I can go
When I feel low
When I feel blue;
And it's my mind
And there's no time
When I'm alone.

I I think of you
And things you do
Go 'round my head
The things you're said
Like I love only you.

In my mind there's no sorrow
Don't you know that it's so
There'll be no sad tomorrow
Don't you know that it's so.

There oh there a place
Where I can go
When I feel low
When I feel blue;
And it's my mind
And there's no time
When I'm alone.
There's a place,
There's a place.
