The sooner you give, the sooner you get to have
A love of your own
The longer it takes, the better you come to know
A love of your own, ooh
Now don’t you be afraid, to give your heart
You never know till you try it, yeah
Don’t deny it to yourself
Don’t be afraid, just walk right on in
The door is standing open, you know I’m always hoping
The sooner you give, the sooner you get to have
A love of your own
As far as you go, you’re never too far behind
A love of your own
Now don’t you be afraid to shoot the moon
You’ll never know till you try it
Don’t deny it to yourself
Don’t you be afraid to change your tune, ooh
The offers always open, you know I’m always hoping
You know I’m always hoping
For, A love of My own, to shelter me from the cold
A love of My own,
A love of My own you never too far behind
A love of your own
You’ve got to keep looking till you find
A love of your own
A love of your own
You’ve got to keep looking till you find
A love of your own

If you see me walkin’
down the street
And I start to cry
each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by
Make believe that
you don’t see the tears I
Just let me grieve in private
’cause each time I see you
I break down and cry


Walk on by
Walk on by
Walk on by


I just can’t get over losin’ you
And so if I seem broken and blue
Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride
that’s all that I have left
So let me hide the tears and
The sadness you gave me
When you said good-bye


Walk on by
Walk on by
Walk on by

I used to wake up at night
With this song going through my mind
Tried so hard to write is all down
But the melody was hard to find
Then one night about a week ago
I was passing a nightclub door
I heard something
that made me turn around
I had to go inside for more

It was the same feeling
a different song
Thought I’d heard it before
but it must be wrong
Same beat – Just a different groove
Whatever it I,
makes you want to move, move, move

Those people were dancing a new thing
Going crazy before my eyes
I felt the shivers come over me
Knew I had to take a run outside
I went back home and turned my radio on
the D.J. had just begun
He said this song is a mystery to me
But I know it has to be a number one

It had the same feeling
a different song
Thought I’d heard it before
but it must be wrong
Same beat – but a different groove
Whatever it is,
makes you want to move, move, move

I thought it was the same old thing,
but as I listened
something changed,
now everywhere I go it keeps on
haunting me
it was that same feeling
To find out what the secret is,
is easy said but hard to do
I leave it up to you to solve the mystery
It was the same feeling

I don’t have much to say
Thought I’d call you up anyway
Just to try to show you the way
That I feel today
I miss you, baby

I sure am on the road
I don’t need to say much more
Just the same old well – known stranger
That I was before
It seems like yesterday now

Daddy’s all gone
Only half way home
He’s holding on to the telephone
Saying please don’t let the show go on

There’s a bus every other hour
There’s even the midnight train
But that don’t leave me the power
To see your face again
It’s not that simple

You see there’s a room full
of smiling faces
There’s a man standing by the door
Say it’s time to change our places
And get down on the floor
Kill ’em, baby

Daddy’s all gone
He’s just half way home
He’s holding on to the microphone
Singing please don’t make the show go on
