Elvis Presley : Almost in Love
歌词
1. Almost In Love
(L. Bonfa - R. Starr)
Your lips were made for kisses so tender
I'm almost in love tonight
When we are close, my heart says surrender
I'm almost in love tonight
And here under the spell of evening
I long to hold you tight
Heaven is near, why think of tomorrow
I'm almost in love tonight
It may be just the spell of evening
I long to hold you tight
Heaven is near, why think of tomorrow
I'm almost in love tonight
(Love Tonight)
Almost in love
2. Long Legged Girl (With A Short Dress On)
(McFarland / Scott)
Alright
I've been thumbin' rides travellin' light
Walkin' streets till past midnight
Trampin' roads, trails and lanes
Scalin' cliffs and fields and plains
Searchin' till the early dawn
For that long legged girl with the short dress on
Ridin' trucks, bikes and skis
Sailin' lakes and brooks and seas
Drivin' wagons, cars and jeeps
Walkin' on stilts in ten foot leaps
Searchin' till the early dawn
For that long legged girl with the short dress on
And everywhere I go she's been and gone
She's fine, it's just too bad she's the travellin' kind
So fine, I just can't rest till I make her mine
Well I've been from Maine to Tennessee, Mexico and Wahkiki
Rain or shine, sleet or snow
Searchin' high and I'm searchin' low
'Cause everything depends upon
That long legged girl with the short dress on
The long legged girl with the short dress on
3. Edge Of Reality
(Giant / Baum / Kaye)
I walk along a thin line darling
Dark shadows follow me
Here's where life's dream lies disillusioned (disillusioned)
The edge of reality
Oh I can hear strange voices echo (echo)
Laughing with mockery (mockery)
The borderline of doom I'm facing (I'm facing)
The edge of reality
On the edge of reality she sits there tormenting me
The girl with the nameless face
On the edge of reality where she overpowers me
With fears that I can't explain
She drove me to the point of madness (madness)
The brink of misery (misery)
If she's not real then I'm condemned to (condemned to)
The edge of reality
(Reality) reality, ...... (reality) reality, ...... (reality) reality, ...... (reality) reality,
(Reality) reality, ......ha.... (reality) reality, ...... (reality) reality, ...... (reality) reality
4. My Little Friend
(Shirl Milete)
My warped and worried mind resorts
To wand'rin' off to ponder things I never talk about
A pretty girl I used to know but wouldn't know if we met face to face
And defying ev'ry logic known
I wish the time machine could take me back again
To the wonder of my first love, the old folks tease me 'bout
Referring to her only as my little friend
Somewhere far away and maybe not so far away
A child has grown into a woman of the world
I assume just knowing that she knew so much of life at such a tender age
I learned from her the whispered things the big boys at the pool hall talk about
The thrill and disappointment, fear and shame that first love brings
But oh, how I thought I loved my little friend
The fragrance of the green grass mingled with the scent of love and womanhood, oh hoh
The moonlight night I kissed and cried and swore I'd never touch another girl
But time moved fast and I moved on and I loved others time and time again, oh hoh
But with each time I thought of her and always gave a little more
A symbol of rememberance for my little friend
Oh-oh-oh a symbol of rememberance for my little friend
Oh-oh-oh a symbol of rememberance for my little friend
Oh-oh-oh a symbol of rememberance for my little friend
5. A Little Less Conversation
(Strange / Davis)
A little less conversation, a little more action please
All this aggravation ain't satisfactioning me
A little more bite and a little less bark
A little less fight and a little more spark
Close your mouth and open up your heart and baby satisfy me
(Satisfy me) Satisfy me baby (Satisfy me)
Baby close your eyes and listen to the music
Dig to the summer breeze
It's a groovy night and I can show you how to use it
Come along with me and put your mind at ease
A little less conversation, a little more action please
All this aggravation ain't satisfactioning me
A little more bite and a little less bark
A little less fight and a little more spark
Close your mouth and open up your heart and baby satisfy me
(Satisfy me) Satisfy me baby (Satisfy me)
Come on baby I'm tired of talking ..........
Grab your coat and let's start walking ........
Come on, come on (come on, come on)
Come on, come on (come on, come on)
Come on, come on (come on, come on)
Don't procastinate, don't articulate
Girl it's getting late, you just sit 'n wait around
Satisfy me baby (Come on, come on, come on, come on) ...Satisfy me baby (Satisfy me) (Come on, come on, come on, come on) Satisy me baby (Satisfy me)
Satisfy me (Come on, come on, come on, come on) Satisfy me baby (Satisfy me)
Satisfy me (Come on, come on, come on, come on) Satisfy me baby (Satisfy me)
Satisfy me (Come on, come on, come on, come on) Satisfy me baby (Satisfy me)
Satisfy me (Come on, come on, come on, come on) Satisfy me baby (Satisfy me)
6. Rubberneckin'
(Jones / Warren)
Stop (stop), look and listen baby that's my philosophy (yes it is now)
It's called rubberneckin' baby but that's all right with me
Stop (stop), look and listen baby that's my philosophy (yes it is now)
It's called rubberneckin' baby but that's all right with me
Some people say I'm wasting time, they don't really know
I like what I see I see what I like yeh, it gives me such a glow, hey yeah yeah
The first thing in the morning, last thing at night
I look, stare, ev'rywhere and I see ev'ry thig in sight, hey hey hey
Stop (stop), look and listen baby that's my philosophy (yes it is now)
It's called rubberneckin' baby but that's all right with me (it's alright)
Some people say I'm wasting time yeh, but I don't really care
I see what I like, I like what I see, yeh, it gives me such a glow-ow-ow
Sittin' on the back porch I'm all by myself
Along came Mary Jane I'm with somebody else, hey hey hey
Stop (stop), look and listen baby that's my philosophy (yes it is now)
It's called rubberneckin' baby but that's all right with me, hey yeah yeah yeah
Hey, hey, hey baby that's all right with me (yeah yeah yeah)
That's rubberneckin' baby but ........
7. Clean Up Your Own Backyard
(B. Strange - S. Davis)
Back porch preacher preachin' at me
Actin' like he wrote the Golden Rules
Shakin' his fist and speechin' at me
Shoutin' from his soap box like a fool
Come Sunday mornin' he's lyin' in bed
With his eyes all red from the wine in his head
Wishing he was dead when he oughta be
Headin' for Sunday school
Clean up your own backyard
Ah don't you hand me none of your lines (Allelujah!)
Clean up your own backyard
You tend to your business, I'll tend to mine
(Clean it up Mister, clean it up Mister)
Drugstore cowboy criticisin'
Actin' like he's better than you and me
Standin' on the sidewalk supervisin'
Tellin' everybody how they ought to be
Come closing time 'most ev'ry night
He locks up tight and out go the lights
And he ducks out of sight and he cheats on his wife
With his employee
Armchair quarterback's always moanin'
Second guessin' people all day long
Pushin', pullin' and hanging on in
Always messin' where they don't belong
When you get right down to the nitty-gritty
Isn't it a pity that in this big city
Not one little bitty man'll admit
He could a-been a little bit wrong
Clean up your own backyard
Ah don't you hand me, don't you hand me none of your line (Allelujah!)
Clean up your own backyard
You tend to your business, I'll tend to mine
(Clean it up Mister, clean it up Mister)
Clean up your own backyard
You tend to your business, I'll tend to mine
8. U.S. Male
(words and music by Jerry Reed)
Now, I'm a U.S. MALE 'cause I was born
In a Mississippi town on a Sunday morn
Now Mississippi just happens to occupy a place
In the southeastern portion of this here United States
Now that's a matter of fact, buddy
And you know it well
So I just call myself the U.S. MALE
That's M-A-L-E, son. That's me!
Now I said all that to say all this
I been watchin' the way
You been watchin' my miss
For the last three weeks you been hot on her trail
You're kinda upsetting this U.S. MALE
You touch her once with your greasy hand
I'm gonna stretch your neck like a long rubber band
She's wearin' a ring that I bought her on sale
And that makes her the property of this U.S. MALE
You better not mess with the U.S. MALE my friend
The U.S. MALE gets mad, he's gonna do you in
If you know what's good for yourself son
You better find somebody else son
Don't tamper with the property of the U.S. MALE
All right, all right...now let me tell it like it is
Through the rain and the heat and the sleet and the snow
The U.S. MALE is on its toes
Quit watchin' my woman, 'cause that ain't wise
You ain't pullin' no wool over this boy's eyes
I catch you 'round my woman, champ
I'm gonna leave your head 'bout the shape of a stamp
Kinda flattened out, so you'll do well
To quit playin' games with this U.S. MALE
Sock it to me one time
All right...now I'm gonna tell it like it is son
I catch you messin' 'round with that woman of mine
I'm gonna lay one on ya. You're talkin' to the U.S. MALE
The AMERICAN U.S. MALE...
9. Charro
(Strange,Davis)
With eyes that hide the man within
You see behind the eyes of other men
You've lived and died and come to life again
And now you're standin' alone at the crossroads of your mind
You've left your yesterdays behind..
But which road leads you to tomorrow?
Charro...
You've turned your back on yesterday
Betrayed a man who swore he'd make you pay
For when you left you took his bride away (Note: or "pride"?)
You know he'll never let you break away so easily
You'll have to fight, before you're free
But how much more time can you borrow?
Charro...
Now in a single moment your past grows dim
One thought goes racing across your mind
You ride to meet the woman you stole from him
Oh no!...Charro don't go!...
Charro don't go!!... (Charro don't go)
There's something hanging in the wind
Your past is catching up and closing in
You've been halfway to hell and back again
And now you laugh in the devil's face with your last breath...
You'll run a race with life and death...
But will you live to see tomorrow?
Charro... (Charro)
10. Stay Away Joe
(Weisman / Wayne)
Ho jump down, spin around, let's have a party
Look who's back, Stay Away Joe
Chock taw, chick a shaw, going to drink a hardy
Welcome back, Stay Away Joe
Stay Away Joe they call me
Stay Away Joe oh yeh!
But if you need me call me
Hoop and a holler and I'll be there
Ho!
Who keeps turnin' up like a bad penny
Take one guess, Stay Away Joe
Always findin' trouble a-plenty
Oh my yes, I reckon you know
Ho!
When two lips are right for the pickin'
Who crops up (Stay Away Joe)
I love 'em and leave 'em a-screamin' 'n a-kickin'
Gidde up look at him look at him go
Hey!
