Album details

The Secrets That You Keep

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

The secrets that you keep.

I’ve only got myself to blame.

I played a losing game.

I lie awake and call your name

All I own is just a picture in a broken frame

It seemed so hard for me to share

It’s even harder now that you’re not there (now baby)

Chorus

I’m losing sleep over the secrets that you keep (Oh baby)

I’m losing sleep over the secrets that you keep.

I lie awake at night not knowing where you are

You know it don’t seem right that you could be so far away from me.

Oh oh the secrets that you keep

Since you’ve been gone our worlds have grown apart.

Now I don’t know what’s in your head or in your heart.

Those little things you kept so secretly.

They don’t mean much to you but they mean so much to me.

So won’t you give me just one more chance.

I’m the fool who broke up our romance.

We used to have so many plans

And then I went and let you slip right through my hands.

I’ll go on searching ’til I find

A way to get you back and make you mine (until then)

Chorus

I’m losing sleep over the secrets that you keep

I’m losing sleep over the secrets that you keep

I’m losing sleep over the secrets that you keep

I’m losing sleep over the secrets that you keep

Repeat to fade

Living Doll

Got myself a crying, talking, sleeping, walking, Living Doll.

Gotta do my best to please her just ’cos she’s a Living Doll.

I gotta roving eye and that is why she satisfies my soul

Got my one and only walking, talking, Living Doll.

Take look at her hair, it’s real

You don’t believe what I say just feel.

Gonna lock her up in a trunk,

So no big hunk can steal her away from me.

Got myself a crying, talking, sleeping, walking, Living Doll.

Gotta do my best to please her just ’cos she’s a Living Doll.

I gotta roving eye and that is why she satisfies my soul

Got my one and only walking, talking, Living Doll.

Break

Take look at her hair, it’s real

You don’t believe what I say just feel.

Gonna lock her up in a trunk,

So no big hunk can steal her away from me.

Got myself a crying, talking, sleeping, walking, Living Doll.

Gotta do my best to please her just ’cos she’s a Living Doll.

I gotta roving eye and that is why she satisfys my soul

Got my one and only walking, talking, Living Doll.

One Night

One night with you, is what I’m now praying for.

The things that we two could plan, would make my dreams come true.

Just call my name, I’ll be there right by your side,

I want your sweet helping hands,

My love’s too strong to hide.

Always lived, very quiet life, yeah.

But I never did no wrong.

But now I now that life without you has been too lonely too long.

One night with you, is what I’m not prayin’ for.

The things that we two could plan, will make my dreams come true.

Break

Always lived, very quiet life, yeah.

But I never did no wrong.

But now I now that life without you has been too lonely too long.

One night with you, is what I’m not prayin’ for.

The things that we two could plan, will make my dreams come true.

Tobacco Road

I was born in a bunk.

Mummy died and my daddy got drunk.

Left me here to die or grow.

In the middle of Tobacco Road.

Grew up in a rusty shack,

All I had was hanging on my back.

Only you know how I loath

This place called Tobacco Road.

But it’s home.

The only life I’ve ever known.

Only you know how I love you,

Tobacco Road.

I’m gonna leave and get a job,

With the help and grace from above.

I'll make some money get rich I know,

And bring it back to Tobacco Road.

’Cos it’s home

The only life I’ve ever known

Only you know how I love you

Tobacco Road.

Break

I’m gonna leave and get a job,

With the help and grace from above.

I’ll make some money get rich I know,

And bring it back to Tobacco Road.

Bring dynamite and a crane

Blow it up start all over again

Build a town I’ll be proud to show

Keep the name of Tobacco Road.

’Cos it's home

The only life I’ve ever known

I despise you ’cos you’re filthy

But I love you

’Cos you’re home.

I Love How You Love Me

Ooh, wahh

Ooh, wahh

I love how your eyes close

Whenever you kiss me

Or when I’m away form you I love how you miss me

I love the way you always treat me tenderly

But darling most of all I love how you love me.

Whenever I hold you

Without being told to

I love the way your touch is always heavenly

But darling most of all I love how you love

Whenever you kiss me

Or when I'm away form you I love how you miss me

I love the way you always treat me tenderly

But darling most of all I love how you love me.

Hula Love

On the isle of Fillalilla

Out Hawaii way

A hula maiden gay,

Strolled by on moonlit bay.

There come to court her over the water

From a savage Zingazulu land

A bolo chieftain grand

Sang her this lay.

Chorus

And he sang

Hula, Hawaii Hula

Smile on your zing gang a zula.

Moonshine above on your sweet jungle love.

For you my bolo is swinging

For you my love song I'm singing

Come be my hula hula love.

But the chieftain from the peaceful Fillalilla land

Would not give him her hand

Her lover took his stand

Through the rattle of the battle

As she heard his sweet voice calm and true

They fled in his canoe

Over water blue.

Chorus

Diana

I’m so young and your so old

This my darling I’ve been told

I don’t care just what they say

’Cos forever I will pray

You and I will be as free as the birds up in the tree

Ooh please stay by me Diana

Thrills I get when you hold me close

Oh my darling you're the most

I love you but do you love me

Oh Diana can’t you see

I love you with all my heart

And I hope we'll never part

Ooh please stay by me Diana

Oh my darling

Oh my lover

Tell me that there is no other

I love you with all my heart

Only you can take my heart

Only you can tear it apart

When you hold me in your loving arms

I can feel you giving all your charms

Hold me darling, hold me tight

Squeeze me darling with all your might

Ooh please stay by me Diana

Oh my darling

Oh my lover

Tell me that there is no other

I love you with all my heart.

Only you can take my heart

Only you can tear it apart

When you hold me in your loving arms

I can feel you giving all your charms

Hold me darling, hold me tight

Squeeze me darling with all your might

Ooh please stay by me Diana

Ooh please, Diana.

Ooh please, Diana.

Ooh please, Diana.
