There Goes My Baby lyrics - Ben E. King

(Bo-bo) (doo-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo)
(There she goes) (doo-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo)
(There she goes) (doo-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Bo-bo) (doo-doot-doo-doo)
(Bo-bo) (doo-doo-doo-doo)

There goes my baby
Movin' on down the line
Wonder where, wonder where
Wonder where she is bound?

I broke her heart
And made her cry
Now I'm alone, so all alone
What can I do, what can I do?

(There goes my baby) Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
(There goes my baby) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(There goes my baby) Whoa-oh-oh-oh
(There she goes) Yeah! (There she goes)

I wanna know if she loved me
Did she really love me?
Was she just playing
Me for a fool?

I wonder why she left me
Why did she leave me
So all alone
So all alone

I was gonna tell her that I loved her
And that I need her
Beside my side
To be my guide

I wanna know where is my (doo-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo)
Where is my baby? (doo-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo)
I want my baby (doo-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo)
I need my baby

Yeah, whoa-oh-oh
(There goes my baby)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
(There goes my baby)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

Dance With Me lyrics - Ben E. King

Dance with me...
Dance with me...
Dance with me...
Dance with me...

Dance with me
Oh...Hold me closer, closer and closer
Much closer
While the music plays
Mmm...darling dance with me
Oh...hold me tighter tighter and tighter
Much tighter while the rhythm sways

Mmm...put your lips to mine
While the music plays
We're no longer strangers
Now we're more them friends

Dance with me, dance with me
Closer, closer and closer
And maybe we'll be lovers
When the music ends

Dance with me, dance with me
Closer, closer and closer
And maybe we'll be lovers
When the music ends
Darling won't you please
Darling won't you please
Darling won't you please

This Magic Moment lyrics - Ben E. King

This magic moment
So different and so new
But like any other
Until I kissed you

And then it happened
It took me by surprise
I knew that you felt it too
By the look in your eyes

Sweeter than wine
Softer than the summer night
Everything I want I have
Whenever I hold you tight

This magic moment
While your lips are close to mine
Will last forever
Forever till the end of time

Sweeter than wine
Softer than the summer night
Everything I want I have
Whenever I hold you tight

This magic moment
While your lips are close to mine
Will last forever
Forever till the end of time

Magic moment...

Save The Last Dance For Me lyrics - Ben E. King

You can dance
Every dance with the guy
Who gave you the eye
Let him hold you tight

You can smile
Every smile for the man
Who held your hand
'Neath the pale moonlight

But don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin'
Save the last dance for me

Oh I know
That the music is fine
Like sparkling wine
Go and have your fun

Laugh and sing
But while we're apart
Don't give your heart
To anyone

But don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin'
Save the last dance for me

Baby don't you know I love you so?
Can't you feel it when we touch?
I will never, never let you go
I love you oh so much

You can dance
Go and carry on
Till the night is gone
And it's time to go

If he asks
If you're all alone
Can he take you home
You must tell him no

'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin'
Save the last dance for me

'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin'
Save the last dance for me

Save the last dance for me
Save the last dance for me

I Count The Tears lyrics - Ben E. King

Na, na, na, na, na, na late at nite
Na, na, na, na, na, na late at nite

I have counted everyday since you've been away
It seemed like a thousand years
And at na, na, na, na, na, na, late at night
Na, na, na, na, na, na late at night
I'll sit and count the tears

I have counted all your lies all your alibis
I'm a guy believes just what he hears
And at na, na, na, na, na, na, late at night
Na, na, na, na, na, na, late at night
I'll sit and count the tears

She's gone and found somebody new
He may be happy now but soon
He'll be counting everyday that she's been away
It'll seem like a thousand years

And at na, na, na, na, na, na, late at night
Na, na, na, na, na, na, late at night
He'll sit and count his tears
He'll sit and count his tears
He'll sit and count his tears
He'll sit...and count his tears

Spanish Harlem lyrics - Ben E. King

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem

It is the 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 dreaming

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem

With eyes as black as coal
That looks 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)...

Stand By Me lyrics - Ben E. King

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No, I won't be afraid
Oh, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me

So darlin', darlin'
Stand by me, oh, stand by me
Oh, stand, stand by me
Stand by me

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me

And darlin', darlin'
Stand by me, oh, stand by me
Oh, stand now, stand by me
Stand by me

Darlin', darlin'
Stand by me, oh, stand by me
Oh, stand now, stand by me
Stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble
Won't you stand by me?
Oh, stand by me
Won't you stand now?
Oh, stand, stand by me

On The Horizon lyrics - Ben E. King

On the horizon out where the ocean greets the sky
On the horizon I saw a ship go sailing by
This was the ship that I'd often dreamed of
A ship made of gold with a golden sail above
This was the ship that I dreamed would someday bring my love

On the horizon out where the lonely seagulls cry
On the horizon my ship of dreams came sailing by
Sailing to me with this cargo so rare
It kept comin' closer and closer I swear
Closer and closer 'til I woke up and found you there

Oh, on the horizon, the horizon, the horizon

Amor lyrics - Ben E. King

Amor, Amor, Amor,
This word so sweet
That I repeat
Means I adore you.
Amor, Amor, my love,
Would you deny
This heart that I
Have placed before you?
I can't find another word with meaning so clear;
My lips try to whisper sweeter things in your ear.
But somehow or other nothing sounds quite so dear
As this soft caressing word I know.

Amor, Amor, my love,
When you're away,
There is no day
And nights are lonely.
Amor, Amor,
My love, make life divine,
Say you'll be mine
And love me only.

Amor,
Amor,
Amor,
Naci de t,
Naci de m,
De la esperanza.
Amor,
Amor,
Amor,
Naci de Dios,
Para los dos,
Naci del alma.
Sentir que tus besos anidaron en m,
Igual que palomas mensajeras de luz.
Saber que mis besos se quedaron en t,
Haciendo en tus labios la seal de la cruz.
Amor,
Amor,
Amor,
Naci de t,
Naci de m,
De la esperanza.
Amor,
Amor,
Amor,
Naci de Dios,
Para los dos,
Naci del alma.

Young Boy Blues lyrics - Ben E. King

Every time I kiss somebody new, I
Make believe I'm kissing you but
I can't kid my aching heart 'cause
My heart know we're still apart and

Each night is like a thousand years
I can't lose these young boy blues

I wanna cry when I hear your name, but
If I cry, I feel ashamed, so
I let my pride be my guide and then
I keep those tears inside, so

Each night is like a thousand years
Since I lost these young boy blues

Don't know where to go
Don't know what to do
I'm so lonesome and lonely
Since I lost you

Every time I kiss somebody new, I
Make believe I'm kissing you but
I can't kid my aching heart 'cause
My heart know we're still apart and

Each night is like a thousand years
I can't lose these young boy blues
Each night is like a thousand years
I can't lose these young boy blues

Each night is like a thousand years

Here Comes The Night lyrics - Ben E. King

Here comes the night
See the stars in the sky
Shining up above
Night of love
Darling, just you and I

And here comes the night
How I thrill to your kiss
Music fills the air everywhere
Night of magic and bliss

Think of the moments
The hours and hours
That we were apart
Moments and hours that kept
Bringing showers of
Tears to my heart

And here comes the night
Like the others before
But tonight's divine
You are mine once more

Think of the moments
The hours and hours
That we were apart
Moments and hours that kept
Bringing showers of
Tears to my heart

And here comes the night
Like the others before
But tonight's divine
You are mine once more

Here (comes the night)

Don't Play That Song (You Lied) lyrics - Ben E. King

Don't play it no more
Don't play it no more
Don't play it no more
No, no, no, no, no, no, no

Don't play that song for me
It brings back memories
Of days that I once knew
The days that I spent with you

Oh no, don't let it play
It fills my heart with pain
Please stop it right away
I remember just what it said

It said, ("Darling, I love you") You know that you lied
("Darling, I love you") You know that you lied
("Darling, I love you") You know that you lied
(Hoo) You lied (hoo) You lied, lied, lied, lied

Remember on our first date?
You kissed me and you walked away
You were only seventeen
I never thought you'd act so mean

But baby, you told me you loved me
You told me you cared
You said, "I'll go with you darlin'
Almost anywhere." but baby you know that

("Darling, I love you") You know that you lied
("Darling, I love you") You know that you lied
("Darling, I love you") You know that you lied
(Hoo) You lied (hoo) You lied, lied, lied, lied

Don't play it no more
Don't play it no more
Stop it baby
No, no, no, no, no, no, no

Don't play it no more
Baby please, don't play it baby
Don't play it no more
No, no, no, no, no, no, stop it, baby

("Darling, I love you") You know that you lied
("Darling, I love you") You know that you lied
("Darling, I love you") Yes baby, you lied

How Can I Forget lyrics - Ben E. King

I want to know, know, know, know, know
(How can I forget)
I've got to know, know, know, know, know
(How can I forget)
How could I forget
(Forget her)

When I was lonely, she chased away
The little girl chased away all of my blues
When I was down and out
She went somewhere and bought me
She brought me a brand new pair of shoes

So tell me, tell me, tell me
(How can I forget)
How, how, how, how
(How can I forget)
How could I forget
(Forget her)

Yesterday she left for somebody new
My friends all say forget her
Go out and do the same they do

But how when her kisses still lingers on my lips
And my cheeks, ask for her finger tips
Since she's been gone, I can't sleep at night
And since she's been gone, I can't eat or bite

Oh, so tell me, tell me, tell me
(How can I forget)
How, how, how, how, how
(How can I forget)

How can I forget
(How can I forget)
I wanna know how can I forget
(How can I forget)

And I've got to know, I've for got know
How can I forget
(How can I forget)
I've got to know somebody help me forget my baby, baby, baby
(How can I forget)

How can I forget, forget, forget
(How can I forget)

I (Who Have Nothing) lyrics - Ben E. King

(originally by Joe Sentieri)

I, I who have nothing.
I, I who have no one
Adore you, and want you so
I'm just a no one
With nothing to give you but love
I love you.

He, he buys you diamonds
Bright, sparkling diamonds
But believe me
Dear when I say
That he can give you the world
But he'll never love you the way
I love you.

He can take you any place he wants
To fancy clubs and restaurants
But I can only watch you with my nose
Pressed up against the window pane.

I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Must watch you
Go dancing by
Wrapped in the arms of somebody else
When Darling it's I
Who loves you.

Supernatural Thing - Part I lyrics - Ben E. King

Your love, your love - supernatural thing
Your love, your love - supernatural thing, oh babe
Your love - supernatural thing, oh babe
Your love, your love - supernatural, mmh babe

When we touch, give me such a funny feeling in my brain
I'm so possessed by your love, sometimes I don't even know my name
When we kiss, you know you make me hot
I break out sometimes in little bitty green spots
You give me, give me all you got
Don't stop it, baby, 'cause I need a lot

Your love - love's a supernatural thing, oh woman
Your love, your love - supernatural thing, mmh

Say, interplanetary, extraordinary love
Interplanetary - what you say - extraordinary
Hey - supernatural - I like it - supernatural
Listen, interplanetary, oh, extraordinary love
Interplanetary - I like it - extraordinary
Now when you love me - supernatural - oh baby - supernatural

You give me cosmic feeling, every time that I squeeze you
Your love's so electrifying, so satisfying, Lord knows I ain't lyin'

Your love - supernatural thing, oh woman
Your love - Lord, it's a supernatural thing, what you say

Say, interplanetary, extraordinary love
Interplanetary - what you say - extraordinary
Hey - supernatural - I like it - supernatural
Listen, interplanetary, oh, extraordinary love
Interplanetary - I like it - extraordinary
Now when you love me - supernatural - oh babe - supernatural

Listen, interplanetary, oh extraordinary, ooh
Interplanetary - I like it - extraordinary
Surely I like it - supernatural - baby - supernatural
One more time, doo doo doo...

Do It In The Name Of Love lyrics - Ben E. King

Do it, do it, you can do it
Do it in the name of love

(Do it) baby (do it)
I like to see you
(Do it in the name of love)

Oh, woman, why don't you (do it)
I'd like to see you try (do it)
Why don't you do it
(Do it in the name of love)

My mama told me a long time ago
Remember, in love
There's no easy road

You've got to give more than you get
You never know what to expect

Hey, sometimes you're up (up)
Sometimes you're down (down)
Sometimes you whole word will
Come crashing down (crashing down)

Oh, love can be
No more than you make it
Hang on in there
And you're gonna make it
Just get your strength
From the Lord above

Hey, do it (do it) do (do it)
Do it in the name of love
(Do it) oh, yeah (do it)
Why don't you do it
In the name of love (do it)

You've got to work (work)
Fight (fight)
Try with all your might
Get your strength from
The Lord up above, oh, oh, hey
Do it in the name of love

(Do it) and I'd like to see you try
(Do it) why don't you
(Do it in the name of love)

I'd like to see you try (do it)
Why don't you (do it) oh, no, no
(Do it in the name of love)

There's temptations all around
Don't you let it get you down

Think about your woman
(Think about your woman)
Think about your man
(Think about your man)
Keep it together
Stay hand in hand
(Hand in hand)

Sometimes you cause
Each other so much pain
And then again
You're sweet as sugar cane

You've got to show
What you give for each other
Then you will succeed as lovers

Just get your strength from
The Lord up above (Lord above)
And do it, do it
Do it in the name of love

(Do it) yeah, hey, hey (do it)
Why don't you do it in
The name of love (do it)

You've got to work (work)
Fight (fight)
Try with all your might
Get your strength from
The Lord up above
(From the Lord above) oh

Do it in the name of love
(Do it) why don't you try (do it)
Do it, do it, do it
(Do it in the name of love)

Hey, honey
Why don't you try (do it)
You can do it (do it)
Why don't you
(Do it in the name of love)

(There's) No Place to Hide lyrics - Ben E. King

Your heart used to shelter me from all harm
Your strength used to comfort me in any storm
When things were too much to bear
You were there by my side
Now, you're gone, I can't go on

Oh, darlin', darlin (Darlin', darlin')
There's no place to hide (No place to hide)
No place to hide (No place to hide)

With you by my side I felt like a king (Like a king)
With you by my side I could do anything (Anything)
Then you turned your back on me
Somethin' deep in me died
'Til you come on back to me

Oh, darlin', darlin' (Darlin', darlin')
There's no place to hide (No place to hide)
No place to hide (No place to hide)

When you turned your back on me
Somethin' deep in me died
'Til you come on back to me

Oh, darlin', darlin' (Darlin', darlin')
There's no place to hide (No place to hide)
No place to hide (No place to hide)

No place to hide (No place to hide)

Because Of Last Night lyrics - Ben E. King

Last night
I will always remember
How you held me so tight
I could see
You never want to let me go
And there you stood
Dressed in all of your splendor
I couldn't help but surrender
To you
I could see no other way

Not after last night
(Last night was a good night)
(Last night was a best night)
Not after last night

Oh, darling

Believe me
(Last night)

Last night
Our whole world came unraveled
Now there's no way I'd ever
No, girl
Give my heart to someone else
And your smile
Your smile
Was so sweet and so gentle
I bet you knew I'd surrender
To you
Ooh, forever and always

Because of last night
(Last night was a good night)
(Last night was a best night)
Because of last night

My lady
(Last night)
Oh-ooh
(Last night was a good night)
(Last night)

Last night
We really did talk a lot
We talked
Last
Fixed all that's been going on
But not a single word
Can compare
To the joy you've given me
Girl, you made me see
Certain I'm all wrong
I'm all for you

All night, all night, all night
Being wrapped up in your arms
While the room reeked of your charm
I could see
Oh, that I was yours for life
And there was I
Girl, after all of that spendor
What could I do but surrender
To you
God knows forever and always

Not after last night
(Last night was a good night)
(Last night was a best night)
Not after last night
(Last night)
(Last night)
Not after last night
(Last night was a good night)
Oh, baby

My darling
(Last night)
Believe me

Because of last night
(Last night was a good night)
(Last night was a best night)
Oh-oh, last night
(Last night)
(Last night)
Because of last night
(Last night was a good night)
I said, my baby
(Last night was a best night)
I said, my darling
(Last night)
I said, my lady
(Last night)
Because of last night
(Last night was a good night)

Come Closer To Me lyrics - Ben E. King

Come closer to me so I can see heaven in your eyes
Come closer to me so I can be close to paradise
Thrill me with your kisses, let me learn what bliss is
Kiss me once and then we'll kiss and kiss again
And life will be divine
Come closer my dear so I can hear music in my heart
I've waited so long to hear the song that your love will start
Darling, I'll adore you live my life just for you
All I ask is this please give me one

More kiss and say that you'll be mine
Hacer why vá ter más, why más, why más, pero mucho más
Viver sole assím, assím, assím como queirás tu
Darling, I'll adore you live my life just for you
All I ask is this please give me one
More kiss and say that you'll be mine
Viver sole assím
Viver sole assím
Come closer to me

Don't Take Your Sweet Love Away lyrics - Ben E. King

Girl, since the day I found you
I want to keep my arms really tight around you
A cold world used to hate me
You lit the fire that burns inside me
I need you to guide me
Please hear when I say

Don't take your sweet love away, oh baby
Don't take your sweet love away, uhm
'Cause I want you girl, I need you girl more and more every day, baby
Don't take your sweet love away

I want you to demand me
Just be my sweet little girl and hit me
Your understanding is not a foolish notion
I'll give you tender love and devotion as deep as the ocean
If you'll just stay, stay with me, girl

Don't take your sweet love away, I'm here when I beg you
Don't take your sweet love away, uh
'Cause I want you girl, I need you girl more and more every day
So, don't, don't take your sweet love away, oh no

I'm in need of your loving
Don't, don't take your sweet love...

Down Home lyrics - Ben E. King

Down home... Oh, down home
There used to be rivers and trees
Fresh bread every single morning
And sweet magnolia in the breeze
Oh, fishing lines and young dreams

Oh, I hear them calling to me
But there's no way to get down home
Cause down home's just a memory

Wish I could leave this big town
City living ain't living to me
But there's no way to get down home

No you can't retrieve it
Cause once you leave it

Oh, down home's just a memory
Down home... Oh, down home

Ecstasy lyrics - Ben E. King

The magic of your kiss is holding you like this is ecstasy (ecstasy)
The love that you have given makes this life I'm livin' ecstasy (ecstasy)
Never let me go, let that love light show
Ah.. take me by the hand and lead me to the land of ecstasy (ecstasy)

The first time that I saw you, you showed me the door to ecstasy (ecstasy)
Now I just keep prayin' that you're always thinkin' ecstasy (ecstasy)
Oh, but don't you go away for a single day
Come on and take me by the hand and lead me to the land of ecstasy (ecstasy)

Travel up and down much never have I found such ecstasy (ecstasy)
Now dear that I know you every where I go thru ecstasy (ecstasy)
Kiss me dear and then.. oh, kiss me once again
Come on and take me by the hand and lead me to the land of ecstasy (ecstasy)

Fever lyrics - Ben E. King

Never knew how much I loved you
Never knew how much I cared
When you put your arms around me
I get a feeling that's so hard to bear

You give me fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning
Fever all through the night

Sun lights up all the daytime
The moon lights up all the night
I light up when you call my name
And I know you're gonna treat me right

You give me fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning
Fever all through the night

Romeo loved Juliet
Juliet, she felt the same
When he put his arms around her
He said Julie baby, you're my flame
You give me fever

You give me fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning
Fever all through the night

And I say
Now people listen to my story
Here's the point that I have made
Chicks were born to give you a fever
Be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade

You give me a fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you're pulling me tight
Fever early in the morning
Fever all through the night

First Taste Of Love lyrics - Ben E. King

Mmm, the very first time you kissed me
It was so thrilling
What made it so great was
I knew that your heart was willing

I never thought that I'd give love a try
Then you came a walking by
And gave me my first taste of love

Mmm, the very first time you held me
It was so nice
I finally found this place they call paradise

Oh, I was such a sad and lonely guy
Then you came a walking by
And gave me my first taste of love

Your lips upon my lips
Your arms around my waist
How can I forget that first date

Mmm, so keep your
Head on my shoulder
Stay real close, baby, don't let go

Don't think of tomorrow
Let's live for tonight
Because I love you so

You see that love light
Gleaming in my eye
Swear it's gonna never die
'Cause I've got my first taste of love

You see that love light
Gleaming in my eye
Swear it's never gonna die
'Cause I've got my first taste of love

Swear it's never gonna die
'Cause I've got my first taste of love
Swear it's gonna never die
'Cause I've got my first taste of love

Forgive This Fool lyrics - Ben E. King

Pardon me for being so cruel
Acted like a silly fool
What I'd done I can't undo
Girl, I'll make it up to you
I can't face this lonely day
Knowing that you gone away
Emptiness I feel inside
Please don't cast our love aside

(Forgive me) forgive me
(Forgive this fool) begging you to forgive this fool
(Forgive me) forgive me baby
(Forgive this fool) ooh
(Forgive this fool and being untrue)

Somehow I got on the wrong turn
If you'd only take me back
When temptations comes along, I won't be weak girl I'll be strong
All I need is another chance, this time I'll be a different man
If you let me start anew, I'll spend my life making up to you

(Forgive me) forgive me
(Forgive this fool) I hate to beg you baby forgive this fool
(Forgive me) pleading to you girl
(Forgive this fool) ooh
(Forgive this fool and being untrue)

I can't stand to hear you say goodbye
'Cause you'll never say hello again
Oh, to see you in another arms
And your love's no longer mine to claim
Take down the fence around your heart
Girl don't keep our love apart

Such misery since you've been gone
Can't find the strength to carry on
Help this lonely heart of mine
Say you'll give me peace of mind
You are right and I was wrong
Trust in me let's get along, forgive me (forgive me)

Come on darling, just come on and forgive this fool
Begging you baby just for a long time (forgive me)
Come on darling forgive me, just forgive this fool
(Forgive this fool, been a fool) oh baby, begging you
Just say that you forgive this fool

Begging you baby just two times, come on love forgive this fool
If I ask you just three times, come on love forgive this fool
If it would be forever, come on love and forgive this fool
Let it be forever

Frenesi lyrics - Ben E. King

It was fiesta down in Mexico
And so I stopped a while to see the show
I knew that Frenesi meant 'please love me'
And I could say Frenesi

A lovely senorita caught my eye
I stood enchanted as she wandered by
And never knowing that it came from me
I gently sighed Frenesi

She stopped and raised her eyes to mine
Her lips just pleaded to be kissed
Her eyes were soft as candle shine
So how could I resist

Um, without a heart that I could call my own
Oh, greater happiness I've never known
Cos' her kisses are for me alone
Who wouldn't have said 'Frenesi'?

She stopped and raised her eyes to mine
Her lips just pleaded to be kissed
Her eyes were soft as candle shine
So how was I to resist

Um, without a heart that I could call my own
Oh, greater happiness I've never known
Because her kisses were for me alone
Who wouldn't have said 'Frenesi'?
Who wouldn't have said 'Frenesi'?
Um, who wouldn't have said 'Frenesi'?

Granada lyrics - Ben E. King

(originally by Frank Sinatra)

Granada
I'm falling under your spell
And if you could speak
What a fascinating tale you would tell

Of an age
The world has long forgotten
Of an age
That weaves the silent magic in Granada today

The dawn in the sky
Greets the day with a sigh for Granada
For she can remember
The splendor that once was Granada

It still can be found
In the hills all around as I wander along
Entranced by the beauty before me
Entranced by the land full of sunshine and flowers and song

And when day is done
And the sun starts to set in Granada
I envy the bliss of the snow clad serenada
For soon it will welcome the stars
While a thousand guitars play a soft Habanera
The moonlight Granada will live again
The glory of yesterday, romantic and gay

He Will Break Your Heart lyrics - Ben E. King

He don't love you like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
He don't love you like I love you
He's try-in' to tear us apart

Fare thee well, I know you're leavin'
(I know you're leavin')
For the new love that you've found
The handsome guy that you've been dating, whoa
I got a feelin' he's gonna put you down 'cause

He don't love you like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
He don't love you like I love you
He's try-in' to tear us apart

He uses all the great quotations
Says the things I wish I could say
Whoa, but he's has so many rehearsals
Girl, to him it's just another play but wait

When the final act is over
And you're left standing all alone
When he takes his bow and makes his exit
Girl, I'll be there to take you home

He don't love you (and he never will) like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
Oh, he don't love you, girl, like I love you
He's try-in' to tear us apart

Whoa, he don't love you

I Can't Break The News To Myself lyrics - Ben E. King

From January to March I'll tell the world
The icy winds make me cry
From April Fools Day to June I'll tell the world
My tears are rain - Oh, what I lie

I just can't tell the world
I can't tell them that I've lost you
Oh, no I can't
'Cause I can't break the news to myself

Oh, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no

From July to September I'll tell the world
The burning sun has me down
From October thru December I'll tell the world
We don't date 'cause I'm snow bound

No, I can't tell the world
I can't tell them that I've lost you
Oh no, I can't
'Cause I can't break the news to myself

No, I can't
No, I can't

Oh, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no

No, I can't tell the world
I can't tell them that I've lost you
Oh no, I can't
'Cause I can't break the news to myself

It Ain't Fair lyrics - Ben E. King

People all around me
But I don't even have a friend
Lord knows I've been trying
But I just can't win

Everything I do
Seems to turn out wrong
Sometimes I wish
Oh, I wish I never was born

Talkin' 'bout teardrops
Nobody, nobody knows
Talkin' 'bout long, lonely nights
I've had more than my share
Just ain't fair
Just ain't fair

Some folks got it easy
They live the life of love and play
Lord knows I've got to struggle
Got to struggle to make my way

One of these days, y'all
Gonna reach the top, yes I will
I know I can make it
'Cause these tears won't let me stop

Talkin' 'bout teardrops
Nobody, nobody cares
Talkin' 'bout long, lonely nights, listen
I've had more than my share
It just ain't fair
It just ain't fair
It just ain't fair
You know it ain't fair

Nobody to call my own (it just ain't fair)
Just stay at home (it just ain't fair)
Listen to my own (it just ain't fair)
No, it ain't fair (it just ain't fair)

Katherine lyrics - Ben E. King

Katherine
I heard his mother
Talking about you
Saying how cute you are
Oh, but for her son, girl, you'll never do

And here's one more thing I've got to let you know
If he decided to ever let you go

Girl, just call me when things get rough
They say you'll never be good enough
I hope you'll never be good enough for him
But you're good enough for me
Katherine

They say wedding plans
Have already been made
I can hear his mother say
"Oh I'd love to put off until a later day"

And if he don't seem interested at all
Dial my number I'll be waiting on your call

Girl, you'll never be good enough
They say you'll never be good enough
I pray you'll never be good enough for him
But you're good enough for me

Oh, Katherine

They may never understand I love you
Place nobody else right here above you
Ooh

Katherine
I heard his mother talking about you

Love Me, Love Me lyrics - Ben E. King

Love me, love me, love me, love me
Love me, love me, darlin' dear
Love me, love me, love me, love me
Love me like I love you

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me, tell me, darling, do
Ahh, that you love me, love me, love me, love me
Love me like I love you

Mmm, when you kiss me, kiss me, kiss me, kiss me
Kiss me, kiss me, darling dear
Ah, you say, say, say
Say the words I've longed to hear

Oh, c'mon and hold me, hold me
Hold me, hold me, dear
Just love me, love me, love me, love me
Love me, love me, my darling dear

Ahh, mmm, I love you
Mmm, mmm, and I love you
Just love me, love me, love me, love me
Love me, love me, my darling do

Love me, love me, love me, love me
Love me, love me, darlin' do
Love me, love me, love me, love me
Love me like I love you

Oh, c'mon and hold me, hold me
Hold me, hold me, dear
Just love me, love me, love me, love me
Love me like I love you

C'mon, love me, love me, love me, love me
Love me like I love you
Love me, love me, love me, love me
Love me like I love you

Lover's Question lyrics - Ben E. King

Does she love me, with all her heart
Should I worry, when we're apart
It's a lover's question, I'd like to know.

Does she need me, as she pretends
Is this a game, well then will I win
It's a lover's question, I'd like to know

I'd like to know when she's not with me
If she's still true to me
I'd like to know when we're kissing
Does she feel just what I feel,
And how am I to know it's really real.

Oh, tell me where, the answer lies
Is it in her kiss or in her eyes
It's a lover's question I'd like to know.

I'd like to know when she's not with me
If she's still true to me
I'd like to know when we're kissing
Does she feel just what I feel,
And how am I to know it's really real.

Oh, tell me where, the answer lies
Is it in her kiss or in her eyes
It's a lover's question I'd like to know.

Made For Each Other lyrics - Ben E. King

Now, that we won
I'll never ever be the same again
This is perfection (This is perfection)
You're making it all so (aaaah)
You know we'll make it through the night
Right, from the start
You knew just how to fill this lonely heart
A pure confection (A pure confection)
Sweetness of your (hmmm hmm)
I've never felt like this before

Made for each other (Made for each other)
You and I (You and I)
Made for each other (Made for each other)
We're flying high (We're flying high)

I'm not afraid to show
I want the world to know I'm by your side
By your side

And, so you'll see
We, two, have got the perfect harmony
A true reflection
Of all you gave to me
You know I'll always be with you

Made for each other (Made for each other)
You and I (You and I)
Made for each other (Made for each other)
We're flying high (We're flying high)

I'm not afraid to show
I want the world to know I'm by your side
I'm by your side
(Made for each other)
(You and I)
(Made for each other)
Oh you and I, we're flying high (We're flying high)

I want the world to know
I'm not afraid to show I'm by your side
I'm by your side

Made for each other (Made for each other)
You and I (You and I)
We're made for each other (Made for each other)
We're flying high (We're flying high)

I want the world to know
I'm not afraid to show I'm by your side
I'm by your side

(You and I are)
Made for each other (Made for each other)
Just you and I (You and I)
Made for each other (Made for each other)
We're flying high (Flying high)

I'm not afraid to show
I want the world to know that I'm by your side
I'm by your side

We're made for each other (Made for each other)
(You and I)
Hey babe, (Made for each other)
(We're flying high)

I want the world to know
I'm not afraid to show I'm by your side
Oh, I'm by your side

(You and I)
(Made for each other)
(You and I)
(Made for each other)
(We're flying high)

I want the world to know
I'm not afraid to show I'm by your side
One man on by your side
One man on by your side
One man on by your side
One man on by your side

Moon River lyrics - Ben E. King

Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way

Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
Were after the same rainbows end, waitin' round the bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river, and me

(Moon river, wider than a mile)

(I'm crossin' you in style some day)
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way

Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after that same rainbows end, waitin' round the bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river, and me

Perfidia lyrics - Ben E. King

To you
My heart cries out "Perfidia"
For I find you, the love of my life
In somebody else's arms

Your eyes are echoing "Perfidia"
Forgetful of the promise of love
You're sharing another's charms

With a sad lament my dreams are faded like a broken melody
While the gods of love look down and laugh
At what romantic fools we mortals be

And now, I know my love was not for you
And so I take it back with a sigh
Perfidious one, Goodbye

With a sad lament my dreams are faded like a broken melody
While the gods of love look down and laugh
At what romantic fools we mortals be

And now, I know my love was not for you
And so I take it back with a sigh
Perfidious one, goodbye
Goodbye

Baby, baby, baby
Goodbye

Quizas, Quizas, Quizas (Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps) lyrics - Ben E. King

You won't admit you love me
And so how am I ever to know?
You always tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
A million times I've asked you
And then I ask you over again
You only answer
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

If you can't make your mind up
We'll never get started
And I don't wanna wind up
Being parted, broken-hearted
So if you really love me
Say yes, but if you don't dear, confess
And please don't tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

If you can't make your mind up
We'll never get started
And I don't wanna wind up
Being parted, broken-hearted
So if you really love me
Say yes, but if you don't dear, confess
And please don't tell me

Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

River Of Tears lyrics - Ben E. King

It seems that I just can't win
I've been hurt time and time again

Every time I give my heart somebody tears it all apart
Through the years, lord knows I must have shed a river of tears
I tried to be fair in every way
I'd even ignored, yes, I have, things that people say
Oh, still I'm lonely and all alone
I've got no one I can call my own
Through the years I know I must have shed a river of tears

A river of tears, oh, how I yearned, yeah

Tears that flow

Somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong
Isn't there anyone I can depend on
Through the years I know I must have shed a river of tears
A river of tears, oh, how I've yearned, yes, I have
Tears that flow' oh, how I've yearned
Talkin' 'bout, talkin' 'bout a river
Talkin' 'bout a river

Show Me The Way lyrics - Ben E. King

If I had to swim a river
Or climb a mountain tall
I do anything you ask
Anything at all

No river
No mountain
Can keep us apart
Show me the way (Ooooo)
Show me the way, to your heart

I would gladly cross a desert
To prove my love is true
I would sail the stormy sea
Just to be with you

No desert
No storm
Can keep us apart
Show me the way (Ooooo, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Show me the way, to your heart

If you ask for a palace
I'll build you two
If you ask me for dew
I'll bring stardust to you
Only you

And, if all you're asking is love in all its care
I will pledge true love to you
Love beyond compare

My darling
I need you
Why must we be apart?
Show me the way (Ooooo)
Show me the way, to your heart

Souvenir Of Mexico lyrics - Ben E. King

She was standing there before me
With a star shining above her
I took one look in her dark eyes
Ah, and I knew that I would love her
Told her I'd love her forever
That I'd never leave, no, never
Then she gave me her heart
Ooh, ooh

Souvenir of a-Mexico

When I kissed her, I was shakin'
Such a kiss I've never tasted
Though I've kissed many before her
All my kisses, they were wasted
I never felt a perfection
Never knew such sweet affection
But kisses straight from the heart
Ooh, ooh-hoo

Souvenir of a-Mexico

Tropical light with the moon shining bright
Holding her in my arms
Ah, the soft summer breeze
Sing a song through the trees and the palm
Yeah

The next a-morning
We went walking, mmm
Through the hills where I first met her
With a tear in her eyes
She told me "Boy, it's best for you
It's best for you to forget it", mmm
'Cause she made a vow to her mother
Vow that she would wed another
Now I'm left with a broken heart

Ah, souvenir of a-Mexico

Sway lyrics - Ben E. King

(originally by Pedro Infante)

When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me, oh, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more

Like the flowers bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, oh, sway with me

Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes can see only you
Only you have that magic technique
When we sway I go weak

I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, come on and sway me now

Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes can see only you
Only you have that magic technique
When I sway, I go weak

I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make the rhythm as only you know how
Sway me smooth, come on and sway me now
Make the rhythm as you know how
Sway me smooth, come on and sway me now

Sway lyrics - Ben E. King

What a difference a day makes
Twenty-four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain

My yesterday was blue, dear
Today I'm a part of you, dear
My lonely nights are through, dear
Since you said you were mine

What a difference a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss

It's heaven when you
Find romance on your menu
What a difference a day makes
And the difference is you

My yesterday was blue, dear
Today I'm a part of you, dear
My lonely nights are through, dear
Since you said you were mine

What a difference a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss

It's heaven when you
Find romance on your menu
What a difference a day makes
And the difference is you
And the difference is you, baby
And the difference is you
And the difference is you, you, you, you
And the difference is you
Come on, baby
I said, and the difference is you...

Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow lyrics - Ben E. King

(originally by The Shirelles)

Tonight you're mine, completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow
Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure
Can I believe the magic of your sighs
Will you still love me tomorrow
Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun
I have to know that your love
Is a love I can be sure of
So tell me now, and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow
Tonight you're mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow
