Lyrics


1. 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 nickles, saving dimes
Working 'til 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 nickles, saving dimes
Working 'til 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 tide
Oh, some sweet day
Gonna take away
This hurting inside
Well or (Will ??)
I'll never be blue
My dreams come true
On Blue Bayou


2. BE MY BABY

The night we met I knew I needed you so
And if I had the chance I'd never let you go

So won't you stay and love me
I'll make you so proud of me
We'll make them turn their heads
Every place we go

So won't you be (be my be my baby)
Be my little baby (my one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darling (be my be my baby)
Be my baby now (my one and only baby)

So won't you be (be my be my baby)
Be my little baby (my one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darling (be my be my baby)
Be my baby now (my one and only baby)

I'll make you happy baby
Just wait and see
For every kiss you give me
I'll give you three

Oh since the day I saw you
I have been waiting for you
You know I will look for you
Till eternity

So come on and be (be my be my baby)
Be my little baby (my one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darling (be my be my baby)
Be my baby now (my one and only baby) (x3)


3. IN MY ROOM

There's a world where I can go
And tell my secrets to
In my room
In my room

In this world I lock out
All my worries and my fears
In my room
In my room

Do my dreaming
And my scheming
Lie awake and pray
Do my crying
And my sighing
Laugh at yesterday

Now it's dark and I'm alone
But I won't be afraid
In my room
In my room


4. HURT SO BAD

I know you
Don't know what I'm going through
Standing here looking at you

Well let me tell you that it hurts so bad
It makes me feel so sad
It makes me hurt so bad to see you again
Like needles and pins
People say "you've been making out okay
He's in love don't stand in his way"

Well, let me tell you that it hurts so bad
It makes me feel so sad
It's gonna hurt so bad if you walk away

Why don't you stay and let me make it up to you
I'll do anything you want me to
You loved me before
Please love me again
I can't let you go back to her
Please don't go
Please don't go

Please don't go
Please don't gooooooooo
Hurt so bad
Come back it hurts so bad
Don't make it hurt so bad
I'm begging you please

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, ooooooooh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oooooooh
Come back it hurts so bad
Come back it hurts so bad
I'm begging you please
Oh
No
Noooooo


5. TELL HIM

I know something about love
You gotta want it bad
If that guy's got into your blood
Go out and get him
If you want him to be
The very part of you
Makes you want to breathe
Here's the thing to do

[Chorus]
Tell him that you're never gonna leave him
Tell him that you're always gonna love him
Tell him tell him tell him tell him right now

I know something about love
You gotta show him
And make him see the moon up above
Go out and get him
If you want him to be
Always by your side
If you want him to
Only think of you

[Chorus]

Ever since the world began
It's been that way for men
And women were created
To make love their destiny
They why should true love be
So complicated oh

I know something about love
You've gotta take him
And show him what the world is made of
One kiss could prove it

If you want him to be
Always by your side
Take his hand tonight
Swallow your foolish pride

[Chorus]


6. ANGEL BABY

It's just like heaven
Being here with you
You're like an angel
Too good to be true
But after all I love you I do
Angel baby, my angel baby

When you are near me
My heart skips a beat
I can hardly stand on
My own two feet
Because I love you I love you I do
Angel baby, my angel baby

Ooh I love you, ooh I do
No one could love you like I do
Ooooo
Ooo Ooo Ooo

Please never leave me
Blue and alone
If you ever go
I'm sure you'll come back home
Because I love you I love you I do
Angel baby, my angel baby

Ooh I love you, ooh I do
No one can love you like I do
Ooooo
Ooo Ooo Ooo


7. DEDICATED TO THE ONE I LOVE

While I'm far away from you my baby
I know it's hard for you my baby
Because it's hard for me my baby
And the darkest hour is just before dawn

Each night before you go to bed my baby
Whisper a little prayer for me my baby
And tell all the stars above
This is dedicated to the one I love

Life can never be
Exactly like we want it to be
It makes me happy
Just knowing that you love me
There's one thing I want you to do
Especially for me
And it's something that everybody needs

Each night before you go to bed my baby
Whisper a little prayer for me my baby
And tell all the stars above
This is dedicated to the one I love


8. JUST ONE LOOK

Just one look and I fell so hard
In love with you Oh Oh

I found out how good it feels
To have your love Oh Oh

Say you will, will be mine
Forever and always Oh Oh

Just one look and I knew
That you were my only one Oh Oh

I thought I was dreaming
But I was wrong Oh yeah yeah
Ah but I'm gonna keep on scheming
Till I make you, make you my own

So you see I really care
Without you I'm nothing Oh Oh
Just one look and I know
I'll get you someday Oh Oh

Just one look
That's all it took hah just one look
That's all it took woah just one look
That's all it woah baby you know I love you baby
I'll build my world around you come on baby


9. OOH BABY BABY

I did you wrong
My heart went out to play
And in the game I lost you
What a price to pay
I'm crying
Ooh baby baby
Ooh baby baby

Mistakes, I've know I've made a few
But I'm only human
You've made mistakes too
I'm crying
Ooh baby baby
Ooh baby baby

I'm just about at
The end of my rope
But I can't stop trying
I can't give up hope
'Cause I'll be here
Someday I'll hold you near
Whisper I still love you
Until that day is here
Ooh I'm crying
Ooh baby baby
Ooh baby baby
Ooh baby baby
Ooh baby baby
Oo-oo-oo-ooh


10. HEAT WAVE

Whenever I'm with him
Something inside
Starts to burning
And I'm filled with desire
Could it be the devil in me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be

It's like a heat wave
Burning in my heart
Can't keep from crying
It's tearing me apart

Whenever he calls my name
Soft, low, sweet and plain
I feel, yeah yeah
Well I feel that burning flame
Has high blood pressure got a hold on me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be

It's like a heat wave
Burning in my heart
Can't keep from crying
It's tearing me apart

Sometimes I stare into space
Tears all over my face
I can't explain it
Don't understand it
I hadn't ever felt like this before
Now that funny feeling has me amazed
I Don't know what to do
My head's in a haze

It's like a heat wave
Burning in my heart
Can't keep from crying
It's tearing me apart

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah oh oh (heat wave)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
oh (heat wave)

Don't pass up this chance
This time it's true romance
Heat wave
Heat wave
Heat wave
Oooh heat wave
