LOVE ME TENDER
Love me tender, love me sweet
Never let me go
You have made my life complete
And I love you so
Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfil
For my darling I love you
And I always will
Love me tender, love me long
Take me to your heart
For it's there that I belong
And will never part
Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfil
For my darling I love you
And I always will
Love me tender, love me dear
Tell me you are mine
I'll be yours through all the years
Till the end of time
Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfil
For my darling I love you
And I always will
END TITLE VERSION:
If my dreams could all come true
Darling, this I know
Happiness will follow you
Everywhere you go
Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfil
For you know that I love you
And I always will
(Love me tender, I love you)
(And I always will)

WE'RE GONNA MOVE
Well, there's a leak in this old buildin'
Yes, there's a leak in this old buildin'
Well, there's a leak in this old buildin'
We're gonna move to a better home
We got no pane (We got no pane)
In this old window (We got no pane)
We got no pane (We got no pane)
In this old window (We got no pane)
We got no pane (We got no pane)
In this old window (We got no pane)
We're gonna move to a better home
Well, there's a hole in the roof where the rain pours in
A hole in the floor where it runs right out again
Well, there's a leak (There's a leak)
In this old buildin' (Well, there's a leak)
Well, there's a leak (Yes, there's a leak)
In this old buildin' (There's a leak, yes, there's a leak)
Well, there's a leak (There's a leak)
In this old buildin' (Let 'er leak)
We're gonna move to a better home
Well, there's a crack across the ceilin'
Yes, there's a crack across the ceilin'
Well, there's a crack across the ceilin'
We're gonna find us a better home
Well, we've gotta stove (We've got a stove)
Without a chimney (We've got a stove)
We've gotta stove (We've got a stove)
Without a chimney (We've got a stove)
What good's a stove (We've got a stove)
Without a chimney (We've got a stove)
We're gonna move to a better home
Pullin' down window shades is no use at all
The kids and the neighbours can peek right through the wall
Well, there's a leak (There's a leak)
In this old buildin' (Well, there's a leak)
Well, there's a leak (Yes, there's a leak)
In this old buildin' (There's a leak, yes, there's a leak)
Well, there's a leak (There's a leak)
In this old buildin' (Look out below))
We're gonna move to a better, move to a better
Move to a better home

LET ME
Whenever I dance with the girl I love
My head goes round and round
When she's close to me
I can't stay on the ground
Whenever I dance with the girl I love
I never have a care
All night I'm so light
I walk a-right on the air, the air, the air
Oh, let me, a-honey let me
Let me do what you know I love to do
Please take another chance and let me
Let me have another dance with you
Whenever I feel those pretty arms
A-reaching round about
That feeling goes to my toes
And all the lights go out, go out, go out
Whenever I see those eyes of blue
Smilin' up so shy
I'm in such a spin
I take right off and fly
So, let me, a-honey let me
Let me do what you know I love to do
Please take another chance and let me
Let me have another dance with you
So let me dance in the arms I love
Thrill me through and through
I'm so drunk with love
And all I see is you
I never hear the music play
I never see the crowd
Only you and me
Dancin' on a cloud, ooh cloud, ooh cloud
Oh, let me, a-honey let me
Let me do what you know I love to do
Please take another chance and let me
Let me have another dance with you

POOR BOY
They call me poor boy, poor boy, poor boy
But I ain't lonesome and I ain't blue
'Cause I could never be a poor boy
As long as I’ve got a dolly like you
Ain't got a crust, ain't got a cent
Can't buy a jug, can't pay the rent
I got a heart full of dreams and a lot of memory
And that's enough for me
They call me poor boy, poor boy, poor boy
But I ain't lonesome and I ain't blue
'Cause I could never be a poor boy
As long as I’ve got a dolly like you
Can't buy a house, can't buy a lot
Ain't got a bean, ain't got a pot
But what I got is a heart full of lovin' memory
And that's enough for me
They call me poor boy, poor boy, poor boy
But I ain't lonesome and I ain't blue
'Cause I could never be a poor boy
As long as I’ve got a dolly like you
Don't have a pig, don't have a cow
I don't have a horse to pull the plow
But what I got is a heart full of lovin' memory
And that's enough for me
They call me poor boy, poor boy, poor boy
But I ain't lonesome and I ain't blue
'Cause I could never be a poor boy
As long as I got a dolly like you
I got a dolly like
I got a dolly like you
