Cruising With Ruben & The Jets

Darling, darling, please hear my plea
God only knows what your loving does to me

Cheap thrills in the back of my car
Cheap thrills, how fine they are
Cheap thrills up and down my spine
I need it, I need it, 'cause it feels so fine, now

Cheap thrills all over the seat
Cheap thrills, your kind of lovin' can't be beat
Cheap thrills up and down my spine
I need it, I need it, 'cause it feels so fine, now

Cheap thrills
Cheap thrills
Cheap thrills
Cheap thrills

Cheap thrills, I can't wait another day
Cheap thrills, you gotta try to sneak away
Cheap thrills up and down my spine
I need it, I need it, 'cause it feels so fine

Cheap thrills
Cheap thrills
Cheap thrills
Cheap thrills

Cheap thrills set fire to my soul
Cheap thrills, like a story untold about
Cheap thrills up and down my spine
I need it, I need it, 'cause it feels so fine

Cheap thrills
Cheap thrills
Cheap thrills
Cheap thrills

Cheap thrills in the back of my car
Cheap thrills, how fine they are
Cheap thrills up and down my spine
I need it, I need it, 'cause it feels so fine

Cheap thrills all over the seat
Cheap thrills, your kind of lovin' can't be beat
Cheap thrills up and down my spine
I need it, I need it, 'cause it feels so fine

Cheap thrills
Cheap thrills
Cheap thrills
Cheap thrills
Cheap thrills
Cheap thrills

Stars in the sky
They never lie
Tell me you need me
Don't say goodbye

Love, love of my life

Stars in the sky

When I won your love
I was very glad
Every happiness in the world
Belonged to me
Then our love was lost
You went away
Now I shed my tears
In lonely misery

I know now
You never really loved me
Oh, it hurts me now to think
You never really cared
I sit and ask myself a thousand times
Try and find
What really happened
To the love
That we shared

How could I be
(How could I be)
Be such a fool
(Such a fool)
How could I be
Be such a fool
How could I be
(How could I believe)
Be such a fool
(All those lies)
How could I be
(You told me)
Be such a fool
How could I be
(How could I be taken in)
Be such a fool
(By your)
How could I be
(Sweet face)
Be such a fool

You spoiled our love
You ruined my life
I'm so tore down
I'm a terrible disgrace

But there will come a time
You'll regret the way
Ah, you treated me
As if I was a fool and didn't know
The many times you lied
About your love for me
Someone is gonna know
Your love is just a show

How could I be
Be such a fool
How could I be
Be such a fool
How could I be
Be such a fool
How could I be
Be such a fool
How could I be
Be such a fool
How could I be
Be such a fool
How could I be
Be such a fool
How could I be
Be such a fool
How could I be . . .

When I'm dancing with Deseri
(Oo-ooo Deseri)
All the boys are jealous of me
(Deseri)
I'm as happy as I can be
Oh, Deseri

I'm as happy as I can be
(Oo-ooo Deseri)
Whenever I'm with Deseri
(Deseri)
She saves her lovin' just for me
Oh Deseri

I will never be untrue
I will never ever make her blue
She'll never sigh, cry, sit and pine
We will share a love divine
Deseri is mine

I'm as happy as I can be
(Oo-ooo Deseri)
Whenever I'm with Deseri
(Deseri)
'Cause she saves her lovin' just for me
Oh Deseri

De—
(Deseri oo-ooo)
Deseri, the first day we met
(Deseri oo-ooo)
I'll never forget
(Deseri oo-ooo)
I saw you walking down the street
My heart skips a beat
(Deseri oo-ooo)
(Deseri)
I told you of my love for you
(Deseri oo-ooo)
(Deseri)
But there's nothing . . .
(Deseri oo-ooo)
Nothing you would do
(The one for me)
I said, please hear my plea
(Deseri oo-ooo)
(My-y Deseri)
Come dance with me
(Deseri oo-ooo)
(Please, hear my plea)
(Deseri oo-ooo)
Oh Deseri . . .
(Deseri oo-ooo)
(Come along with me)
You came
(Deseri oo-ooo)
(Aa-aah Deseri)
We went to the dance that night
I held you so tight
(Deseri oo-ooo)
(My-y Deseri)
(Deseri oo-ooo)
And I know . . .
(My-y Deseri)
That our love will last . . .
(Deseri oo-ooo)
Thru the years
(Deseri . . .)
For ever, holding each other, for cram & for dorssn.

Got no place to go
No love left for me to give

Why should I pretend I like
To roam from door to door
I guess that I'll just kill myself
I just don't care no more

I'm not satisfied
Everything I tried
I don't like the way
Life has been abusing me

Who would care if I was gone?
Who needs me to care for them?

Why should I just sit and watch
While the others smile?
I just wish that someone cared
If I was happy for a while

I'm not satisfied
(I'm not satisfied)
Everything I tried
(Everything I tried)
I don't like the way
(I don't like the way)
Life has been abusing me

I'm not satisfied
(I'm not satisfied)
Everything I tried
I don't like the way
(Everything I tried)
Life has been abusing me
(I'm not satisfied)
I'm not satisfied
(Everything I tried)
Abusing me . . .
(I'm not satisfied)
I'm not, I'm not satisfied
(Everything I tried)
I'm not satisfied
(I'm not satisfied)
I-I-I . . .
(Everything I tried
I'm . . . )

Oh, Jelly Roll Gum Drop, got my eyes on you
Baby don't you know now
Jelly Roll Gum Drop, got my eyes on you
The way you do the bop
Like a spinning top
The Pachuco Hop
And the L.A. Slop
You make a street car stop
At the soda shop
And my eye-balls pop
When I see my
Jelly Roll Gum Drop, got my eyes on you
Mama don't you know now
Jelly Roll Gum Drop, got my eyes on you
The way you boogie all night
You're my heart's delight
You know I wish I might
Get a tiny bite of your
Jelly Roll Gum Drop, I wanna, I wanna
(Bop bop bah, Bop bop bah)
Jelly Roll Gum Drop, I wanna, I wanna
Jelly Roll Gum Drop, I wanna, I wanna Jelly Roll
Got to have it

Sha-la-la-la, Sha-la-la-la
Lemme have . . .
(Cough, cough, cough)
Got to have it . . .

Jelly Roll Gum Drop, got my eyes on you

For you, I could do anything
For your love, my heart cries
Take my heart, my love my everything
For so long I've needed your love

Oh, when, when you first came to me
I-I-I-I-I doubted your love
But now you mean everything to me
And each day I love you more

For you, I could do anything
For your love, my heart cries

For so long
(Take my heart)

You surely must be trying
To break this heart of mine
I thought you knew I loved you
And we'd share a love so fine

But later that night
(You threw a) padlock on my door
(My) clothes out on the street
('Cause you) don't want my love no more

And I cryyyd
I-I-I cryyyd
Oh, I cried
(I cried)
My heart out
Cried
(I cried)
My heart out
Later that night

You surely must be trying
To break this heart of mine
I thought you knew I loved you
And we'd share a love so fine

But later that night
(You threw a) padlock on my door
(You threw my) clothes out on the street
('Cause you) don't want my love no more

And I cryyyd
I-I-I cryyyd
I cried
(I cried)
My heart out
Cried
My heart out
Later that night

(Spoken)
Don't go baby, don't put me out on the street. You threw my best sharkskin suit out on the lawn, right on top of some dog waste (I hold in my hand three letters from the stages of your fine, fine, super-fine career . . . ) and my best white shirts with the Mr. B collar laying all over the front lawn. Where's my cuff links? Lemme back in dere. Dere? Ha!

"Huffa puffa, Huffa puffa
There's no room to breathe in here"

"That's all right honey. You can come out of the closet now"

You didn't try to call me
Why didn't you try?
I'm so lonely
No matter who I take home
I keep calling your name
And you
I need you so bad
You're the one, babe

Tell me, tell me
Who's loving you now
'Cause it worries my mind
And I can't sleep at all
I stayed home on Friday
Just to wait for your call

And you didn't try
You didn't try
You didn't try
You didn't try to call me
Why didn't you try?
I'm so lonely
(I'm so lonely)
No matter who I take home
I keep calling your name
And you
I need you so bad
You're the one, babe

Tell me, tell me
Who's loving you now
'Cause it worries my mind
And I can't sleep at all
I stayed home on Friday
Just to wait for your call

I can't say what's wrong or what's right
All you've gotta do is call me, babe

You make me feel so excited, girl
I've got so hung up on you
From the moment that we met
That no matter how I try
I can't keep the tears
From running down my face
I'm all alone in my place

You didn't try to call me
You didn't try to call me
You didn't try to call me
You didn't try to call me
You didn't try to call me
You didn't try to call me
You didn't try to call me

Fountain . . . of . . . love!

One . . . two . . .

It was September, the leaves were gold
That's when our hearts knew that story untold
We were young lovers
(We were young lovers)
Strolling near
The fountain of love
Fountain of love
Fountain of love
(Fountain of love)
Fountain of love

Do you remember, I held you so near
Our love's glowing ember so precious and dear
We were young lovers
(Lovers)
Strolling near
The fountain of love
Fountain of love
Fountain of love
(Fountain of love)
Fountain of love

We made a wish
(Lo-o-o-o-ove)
And threw in a coin
And since that day
(Lo-o-ove)
Our hearts have been joined
So all you young lovers
(Lo-o-o-o-ove)
Wherever you are
The fountain of love is not very far
We'll go on dreaming of that golden day
And remember the fountain is not far away

We were young lovers
(Lo-o-o-overs)
Strolling near
The fountain of love
Fountain of love
Fountain of love
Fountain of love

(Spoken)
(Lo-o-ove)
We made a wish and threw in a coin
(Lo-o-ove)
And since that day, our hearts have been joined
(Lo-o-ove)
So all you young lovers wherever you are
The fountain of love is not very far

Fountain of love, oooo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo (wee-oo)
