Well don't you know I can't take it,
I don't know who can.
I'm not goin' to make it,

Oh, I can't sleep at night, but just the same,

I call your name.

You gotta gimme little loving

Ow, if you want our love to last.

Well I used to walk you home baby after school,
Carry your books home, too.
But now you got a boyfriend down the street,
Baby what're you trying to do ?
You'd better slow down.

Well you know that I love you, tell the world I do,
Come on pretty baby, why can't you be true ?
I need you badly, baby, oh so bad,
The best little woman I ever had,
Slow down !

13. MATCHBOX
(Carl Perkins)

I said I'm sitting here watching matchbox hole in my clothes
I said I'm sitting here wondering matchbox hole in my clothes
I ain't got no matches but I sure got a long way to go.

I'm an old poor boy, I'm a long way from home
I'm an old poor boy, and I'm a long way from home
I've never been happy, cause everything I ever did was wrong.

Well, if you don't want my peaches, honey please don't shake my tree
If you don't want any of those peaches honey, please don't mess around my tree
I've got news for you baby, leave me here in misery, all right!

Well let me be your little dog till your big dog comes
Let me be your little dog till your big dog comes
And when your big dog gets here, watch how your puppy dog runs
Well I said I'm sitting here watching matchbox hole in my clothes
I said I'm sitting here wondering matchbox hole in my clothes
I ain't got no matches but I sure got a long way to go.

14. I FEEL FINE
(Lennon/McCartney)

Baby's good to me, you know
She's happy as can be, you know
She said so
I'm in love with her and I feel fine.

Baby says she's mine, you know
she tells me all the time, you now
She said so
I'm in love with her and I feel fine.

I'm so glad that she's my little girl
She's so glad she's telling all the world
That her baby buys her things you know
He buys her diamond rings, you know
She said so
She's in love with me and I feel fine.

15. SHE'S A WOMAN
(Lennon/McCartney)

My love don't give me presents
I know that she's no peasant
Only ever has to give me
Love forever and forever
My love don't give me presents.

Turn me on when I get lonely
People tell me that she's only fooling
I know she isn't.

She don't give boys the eye
She hates to see me cry
She is happy just to hear me
Say that I will never leave her
She don't give boys the eye.

She will never make me jealous
Gives me all her time as well as loving
Don't ask me why.

She's a woman who understands
She's a woman who loves her man.

She is happy just to hear me
Say that I will never leave her
She don't give boys the eye.

16. BAD BOY
(Larry Williams)

A bad little kid moved into my neighborhood
He won't do nothing right just sitting down and looks so good
He don't want to go to school and learn to read and write
Just sits around the house and plays the rock and roll music all night
Well, he put some tacks on teachers chair
Puts chewin' gum in little girl's hair
Hey, junior, behave yourself !

Buys every rock and roll book on the magazine stand
Every dime that he get is lost to the jukebox man
Well he worries his teacher till at night she's ready to poop
From rocking and a-rolling spinning in a hula hoop
Well this rock and roll has got to stop
Junior's head is hard as rock
Now, junior, behave yourself !

Going tell your mama you better do what she said
Get to the barber shop and get that hair cut off your head
Threw the canary and you fed it to the neighbors cat
You gave the cocker spaniel a bath in mother's laundramat
Well, mama's head has got to stop
Junior's head is hard as rock
Now, junior, behave yourself !

17. YES IT IS
(Lennon/McCartney)

If you wear red tonight
Remember what I said tonight
For red is the color that my baby wore
And what is more, it's true
Yes it is.
Scarlett were the clothes she wore
Everybody knows I'm sure
I would remember all the things we planned
Understand, it's true
Yes it is, it's true, yes it is.

I could be happy with you by my side
If I could forget her, but it's my pride
Yes it is, yes it is
Oh yes it is, yeah.

Please don't wear red tonight
This is what I said tonight
For red is the color that will make me blue
In spite of you, it's true
Yes it is, it's true, yes it is.

18. I'M DOWN
(Lennon/McCartney)

You telling lies thinking I can't see
You don't cry 'cos you're laughing at me
I'm down (I'm really down)
I'm down (down on the ground)
I'm down (I'm really down)
How can you laugh when you know I'm down ?
(How can you laugh ?) When you know I'm down !

Man buys ring, woman throws it away
Same old thing happens every day
I'm down (I'm really down)
I'm down (down on the ground)
I'm down (I'm really down)
How can you laugh when you know I'm down ?
(How can you laugh ?) When you know I'm down !

We're all alone and there's nobody else
You still moan: "Keep your hands to yourself"
I'm down (I'm really down)
I'm down (down on the ground)
I'm down (I'm really down)
How can you laugh when you know I'm down ?
(How can you laugh ?) When you know I'm down !

Don't you know that I'm down ?
(I'm really down)
