There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
It is a special one, it's never seen the sun
It only comes out when the moon is on the run
And all the stars are gleaming
It's growing in the street right up through the concrete
But soft and sweet and dreamin'

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
With eyes as black as coal that look down in my soul
And starts a fire there and then I lose control
I have to beg your pardon
I'm going to pick that rose and watch her as she grows in my garden

I'm going to pick that rose and watch her as she grows in my garden

(There is a rose in Spanish Harlem)
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la
(There is a rose in Spanish Harlem)
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la
(There is a rose in Spanish Harlem)

I, I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
Is all right with me
'Cause you make me feel so brand new
And I want to spend my life with you

Since, since we've been together
Loving you forever
Is what I need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue

Let's, let's stay together
Lovin' you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad

Why, why some people break up
Then turn around and make up
I just can't see
You'd never do that to me (would you, baby)
Staying around you is all I see
(Here's what I want us to do)

(repeat to fade):
Let's, we oughta stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

And now the marriage vow is very sacred
The man has put us together now
You ought to make it stick together
Come on, come on and stick together
You know we made a vow to leave one another never
But now you never miss your water till your well is dry
Come on now baby give our love a try
Let's stick together, c'mon, c'mon let's stick together
You know we made a vow to leave one another never
Then if you're stuck for a while consider our child
How can it be happy without its ma and pa
Let's stick together, c'mon, c'mon let's stick together
You know we made a vow to leave one another never

It's so easy to fall in love
It's so easy to fall in love
People tell me love's for fools
Here I go breaking all the rules

Seems so easy
Yeah, so doggone easy
Oh it seems so easy
Yeah where you're concerned
My heart can learn
It's so easy to fall in love
It's so easy to fall in love

Look into your heart and see
What your lovebook has set aside for me

It seems so easy
Yeah, so doggone easy
Oh it seems so easy
Yeah where you're concerned
My heart can learn
Oh it's so easy to fall in love
It's so easy to fall in love

It seems so easy
Oh so doggone easy
Yeah it seems so easy
Oh where you're concerned
My heart can learn
Oh it's so easy to fall in love
It's so easy to fall in love
It's so easy to fall in love
It's so easy to fall in love
It's so easy to fall in love
Oh-ooh It's so easy to fall in love

Funny how a lonely day, can make a person say:
What good is my life
Funny how a breaking heart, can make me start to say:
What good is my life
Funny how I often seem, to think I'll find another dream
In my life
Till I look around and see, this great big world is part of me
And my life
This is my life
Today, tomorrow, love will come and find me
But that's the way that I was born to be
This is me
This is me

This is my life
And I don't give a damn for lost emotions
I've such a lot of love I've got to give
Let me live
Let me live

Sometime when I feel afraid, I think of what a mess I've made

Of my life
Crying over my mistakes, forgetting all the breaks I've had
In my life
I was put on earth to be, a part of this great world is me
And my life
Guess I'll just add up the score, and count the things I'm grateful for
In my life
This Is my life
Today, tomorrow, love will come and find me
But that's the way that I was born to be
This is me
This is me

This is my life
And I don't give a damn for lost emotions
I've such a lot of love I've got to give
Let me live
Let me live

This is my life
This is my life
This is my life

I'll be working my way back to you babe
With a burning love inside
Yeah I'm working my way back to you babe
And the happiness that died
I let it get away
Been paying every day

When you were so in love with me
I played around like I was free
Thought I could have my cake and eat it too
How I cried over losing you
See I'm tired and I
I ain't about to go living my life without you
Hey, every day I made you cry
I'm begging girl 'till the day I die

I'll be working my way back to you babe
With a burning love inside
Yeah I'm working my way back to you babe
And the happiness that died
I let it get away
Been paying every day

I used to love to make you cry
It made me feel like a man inside
If I had been a man in reality
You'd be here baby loving me
Now my nights are long and lonely
And I ain't too proud babe, I just need you so
Girl but you're too proud and won't give in
But when I think about our love again

I'll be working my way back to you babe
With a burning love inside
Yeah I'm working my way back to you babe
And the happiness that died
I let it get away
Been paying every day

My road is kinda long
I just gotta get back home
Oohh I'm really sorry for actin' that way
I'm really sorry oohh little girl
I'm really sorry for telling you lies
For so long ohh please
Forgive me girl come on (give me a chance)
Won't you forgive me girl hey (lets have romance)
Oohh forgive me girl (lets start again)
Come on forgive me girl
I want you over and over and over and over again

I'll be working my way back to you babe
With a burning love inside
Yeah I'm working my way back to you babe
And the happiness that died
I let it get away
Been paying every day

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in twelve-thirty flight
Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards
salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say: "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for
you"

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that
I've become

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

[Instrumental break]

Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

Though I’ve tried before to tell her
Of the feelings I have for her in my heart
Every time that I come near her
I just lose my nerve
As I’ve done from the start

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
It’s a big enough umbrella
But it’s always me that ends up getting wet

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

I resolve to call her up a thousand times a day
And ask her if she’ll marry me in some old fashioned way
But my silent fears have gripped me
Long before I reach the phone
Long before my tongue has tripped me
Must I always be alone?

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio, he moved a million hearts in mono.
Our mothers cried and sang along and who'd blame them.
Now you're grown, so grown, now I must say more than ever.
Go Toora Loora Toora Loo-Rye-Aye
and we can sing just like our fathers.

Come on Eileen,
I swear (well he means) At this moment you mean everything,
With you in that dress my thoughts I confess verge on dirty
Ah come on Eileen.

These people round here wear beaten down eyes
Sunk in smoke dried faces they're so resigned to what their fate is,
But not us, no not us we are far too young and clever.
Remember Toora Loora Toora Loo-Rye-Aye
Eileen I'll hum this tune forever.

Come on Eileen, I swear, well he means
Ah come on let's take off everything,
That pretty red dress Eileen (Tell him yes)
Ah come on let's, ah come on Eileen, please.

The hottest songs from Dexy's Midnight Runners

(I’ve) hung around with big shots
Never knew love was in the sights
I guess I missed the target
Caught up in a different line of fire

But I know since I’ve been aiming
For the sweetness in your soul
Your name is on the bullet
And it’s gettin’ ready to explode
There’s been a change inside my life
And I just wanna let you know

I’ve got my finger on the trigger
Love is in control
I’ve got my finger on the trigger
I ain’t lettin’ go

Bass line:
Baby, let’s have some fun
A won’t cha be my, my
Number one

Mama used to tell me
Girl, you better load your gun up right
She said ya, ya gotta come out smokin’
Hit it with your best shot every time
Well I didn’t understand her
’til you walked right into range
I saw your love at twenty paces
And I new I’d won the game
You better raise your heart up high
Or love will blow you right away

I’ve got my finger on the trigger
Love is in control
I’ve got my finger on the trigger
I ain’t lettin’ go
I’ve got my finger on the trigger
Love is in control
I’ve got my finger on the trigger
I ain’t lettin’ go

Leave off that safety catch
There ain’t no risk
We’re gonna have some fun
I’ve got cha, love’s begun
So stay with me
Until the mornin’ sun

You’re superbullet number one

Bass line:
Baby, let’s have some fun
A won’t cha be my, my
Number one
There’s been a change inside
My life
And I just wanna let you know

I’ve got my finger on the trigger
Love is in control
I’ve got my finger on the trigger
I ain’t lettin’ go
I’ve got my finger on the trigger
Love is in control
I’ve got my finger on the trigger
I ain’t lettin’ go...
