Rick Nelson
Chorus:
There'll never be anyone else
But you for me
Never ever be
Just couldn't be
Anyone else but you
If I could take my pick of all the girls I've ever known
Then I'd come and pick you out to be my very own
Chorus
A heart that's true and longs for you is all I have to give
All my love belongs to you as long as I may live
Chorus
I never will forget the way you kiss me
And when we're not together
I wonder if you've missed me
'Cause I hope and pray the day will come when you belong to me
Then I'm gonna prove to you how true my love can be
Chorus
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm mmm, mmm, mmm mmm, mmm, mmm
It's late (It's late)
We gotta get on home
It's late (It's late)
We've been gone too long
Too bad (Too bad)
We shoulda checked our time
Can't phone (Can't phone)
We done spent ev'ry dime
It's late (It's late)
We're 'bout to run outta gas
It's late (It's late)
We gotta get home fast
Can't speed (Can't speed)
We're in a slow down zone
Baby, look at that clock, why can't it be wrong?
If we coulda left home at a quarter to nine
Woulda had fun and plenty of time
We got started just a little bit late
Hope this won't be our last date
Look up (Look up)
Is that the moon we see?
Can't be (Can't be)
Looks like the sun to me
It's late (It's late)
I hate to face your Dad
Too bad (Too bad)
I know he's gonna be mad
It's late (It's late)
We gotta get on home
It's late (It's late)
We've been gone too long
It's late (It's late)
We're 'bout to run outta gas
It's late (It's late)
We gotta get home fast
Can't speed (Can't speed)
We're in a slow down zone
Baby, look at that clock
Why can't it be wrong?
If we coulda left home at a quarter to nine
Woulda had fun and plenty of time
We got started just a little bit late
Hope this won't be our last date
Look up (Look up)
Is that the moon we see?
Can't be (Can't be)
Looks like the sun to me
It's late (It's late)
I hate to face your Dad
Too bad (Too bad)
I know he's gonna be mad
It's late (It's late)
We gotta get on home
It's late (It's late)
We've been gone too long
(It's late)
I said, "Hello Mary Lou
Goodbye heart
Sweet Mary Lou
I'm so in love with you
I knew Mary Lou
We'd never part
So hello Mary Lou
Goodbye heart"
You passed me by one sunny day
Flashed those big brown eyes my way
And ooh I wanted you forever more
Now I'm not one that gets around
I swear my feet stuck to the ground
And though I never did meet you before
I said, "Hello Mary Lou
Goodbye heart
Sweet Mary Lou
I'm so in love with you
I knew Mary Lou
We'd never part
So hello Mary Lou
Goodbye heart"
I saw your lips I heard your voice
believe me I just had no choice
Wild horses couldn't make me stay away
I thought about a moonlit night
My arms about good an' tight
That's all I had to see for me to say
I said, "Hello Mary Lou
Goodbye heart
Sweet Mary Lou
I'm so in love with you
I knew Mary Lou
We'd never part
So hello Mary Lou
Goodbye heart"
I'm a travelin' man and I've made a lotta stops
all over the world
And in every port I own the heart of at least one lovely girl
I've a pretty senorita waitin' for me down in old Mexico
And if you're ever in Alaska stop and see my cute little Eskimo
Oh my sweet fraulien down in Berlin town
makes my heart start to yearn
And my China doll down in old Hong Kong
waits for my return
Pretty Polynesian baby over the sea I remember the night
When we walked in the sands of Waikiki and I held you oh so tight
Oh, I'm a travelin' man
Yes, I'm a travelin' man
Yes, I'm a travelin' man
Woe, I'm a travelin' man
I'm a travelin' man and I've made a lotta stops
all over the world
And in every port I own the heart of at least one lovely girl
I'm a travelin' man and I've made a lotta stops
all over the world
And in every port I own the heart of at least one lovely girl
Oh my sweet fraulien down in Berlin town
makes my heart start to yearn
And my China doll down in old Hong Kong
waits for my return
Pretty Polynesian baby over the sea I remember the night
When we walked in the sands of Waikiki and I held you oh so tight
Oh, I'm a travelin' man
Yes, I'm a travelin' man
Yes, I'm a travelin' man
Woe, I'm a travelin' man
I went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends
A chance to share old memories and play our songs again
When I got to the garden party, they all knew my name
No one recognized me, I didn't look the same
But it's all right now
I learned my lesson well
You see, ya can't please everyone
So ya got to please yourself
People came from miles around, everyone was there
Yoko brought her walrus, there was magic in the air
An' over in the corner, much to my surprise
Mr. Hughes hid in Dylan's shoes wearing his disguise
But it's all right now
I learned my lesson wel
You see, ya can't please everyone
So ya got to please yourself
Lot-in-dah-dah-dah, lot-in-dah-dah-dah
Played them all the old songs, thought that's why they came
No one heard the music, we didn't look the same
I said hello to "Mary Lou", she belongs to me
When I sang a song about a honky-tonk, it was time to leave
But it's all right now
I learned my lesson well
You see, ya can't please everyone
So ya got to please yourself
Lot-dah-dah-dah (Lot-dah-dah-dah)
Lot-in-dah-dah-dah
Someone opened up a closet door and out stepped Johnny B. Goode
Playing guitar like a-ringin' a bell and lookin' like he should
If you gotta play at garden parties, I wish you a lotta luck
But if memories were all I sang, I'd rather drive a truck
But it's all right now
I learned my lesson well
You see, ya can't please everyone
So ya got to please yourself
Lot-dah-dah-dah (Lot-dah-dah-dah)
Lot-in-dah-dah-dah
An' it's all right now, learned my lesson well
You see, ya can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself
