**Blue Bayou**

I feel so bad, I got a worried mind,
I'm so lonesome all the time
Since I left my baby behind,
On Blue Bayou

Saving nickels, saving dimes,
Working till the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times,
On Blue Bayou

I'm going back someday,
Come what may,
To Blue Bayou

Where the folks are fine,
And the world is mine,
On Blue Bayou

Where those fishing boats
With their sails afloat,
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise
Through sleepy eyes,
How happy I'd be

Gonna see my baby again
Gonna be with some of my friends
Maybe I'll feel better again
On Blue Bayou

Saving nickels, saving dimes
Working till the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times
On Blue Bayou

I'm going back someday,
Come what may,
To Blue Bayou

Where the folks are fine,
And the world is mine
On Blue Bayou

Where those fishing boats
With their sails afloat,
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise
Through sleepy eyes,
How happy I'd be

Oh that boy of mine by my side,
The silver moon and the evening time

Oh, some sweet day,
Gonna take away
This hurtin' inside

Well I'd never be blue,
My dreams come true
On Blue Bayou

**Oh, Pretty Woman**

Pretty woman, walkin' down the street
Pretty woman the kind I like to meet
Pretty woman... I don't believe you...you're not the truth
No one could look as good as you---mercy

Pretty woman..won't you pardon me
Pretty woman..I couldn't help but see
Pretty woman...that you look lovely as can be
Are you lonely..just like me---!!GGRROOWWLL!!

Pretty woman stop awhile
Pretty woman talk awhile
Pretty woman give your smile..to me

Pretty woman yeah, yeah, yeah
Pretty woman look my way
Pretty woman say you'll stay...with me-ee
Cuz I need you...I'll treat you right
Come with me baby...be mine tonight

Pretty woman...don't walk on by
Pretty woman...don't make me cry
Pretty woman...don't walk away, hey...OK
If that's the way it must be...OK
I guess I'll go on home...it's late
There'll be tomorrow night..but wait!
What do I see?
Is she walkin' back to me?
Yeah, she's walkin' back to me,

Oh, oh, pretty woman

**Only the Lonely**

Dum-dum-dumdy doo-wah,
Ooh yay, yay, yay, yeah
Oh, oh oh oh oh ooh-ah-ah,
Only the lonely, only the lonely


Only the lonely
Dum-dum-dumdy doo-wah
Know the way I feel tonight
Ooh yay, yay, yay, yeah
Only the lonely
Dum-dum-dumdy doo-wah
Know this feeling ain't right
Dum-dum-dumdy doo-wah

There goes my baby....there goes my heart
They're gone forever....so far apart
But only the lonely know wh-y-y I cry
Only the lonely
Dum-dum-dumdy doo-wah,
Ooh yay, yay, yay, yeah
Oh, oh oh oh oh ooh-ah-ah,
Only the lonely, only the lonely

Only the lonely
Dum-dum-dumdy doo-wah
Know the heartaches I've been through
Ooh yay, yay, yay, yea
Only the lonely
Dum-dum-dumdy doo-wah
Know I cry and cry for you
Dum-dum-dumdy doo-wah

Maybe tomorrow,
A new romance
No-o-o more sorrow,
But that's the chance

You've got to ta-a-a-ake,
If your lonely..heart breaks

Only the lonely
Dum-dum-dumdy doo-wah
