golden_ann Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Great song by Elvin Bishop about not being real and ended up getting caught up! What are other favorites out there that would fit along these lines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 The Spinners' "Working My Way Back To You Girl" is a lot like that, and around the same era. Great song: I'll keep working my way back to you, babe With a burning love inside Hey, I'm working my way back to you, babe And the happiness that died I let it get away Do-do, do-da, do (Been paying every day) Do-do, do-da, do When you were so in love with me I played around like I was free Thought I could have my cake and eat it too But how I cried over losing you See, I'm down and out But I ain't about to go living my life without you Hey, every day I made you cry I'll pay and, girl 'Til the day I die I'll keep working my way back to you, babe With a burning love inside Yeah, I'm working my way back to you, babe And the happiness that died I let it get away Do-do, do-da, do (Been paying every day) Do-do, do-da, do Oh, I used to love to make you cry It made me feel like a man inside If I had been a man in reality You'd be here, baby, loving me Now my nights are long and lonely And I ain't too proud, babe I just miss you so Girl, but you're too proud And you won't give in But when I think about all I could win I'll keep working my way back to you, babe With a burning love inside Yeah, I'm working my way back to you, babe And the happiness that died I let it get away Do-do, do-da, do (Been paying every day) Do-do, do-da, do (Yooooou, you, babe) My road is kind of long (Yooooou, you, babe) I just gotta get back home Whoa, I'm really sorry for acting that way I'm really sorry Ooh, little girl I'm really sorry for telling you lies For so long Oh, please, forgive me, girl Come on (give me a chance) Won't you forgive me, girl Hey (let's have romance) Ooh, forgive me, girl (let's try again) Come on, forgive me, girl I want you over and over And over and over again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Yes, a great song. Mickey Thomas, later of "Starship" does the lead vocal. His rendition of "Sara" is just so beautiful also. Here's a couple of from the 60s that might qualify. Falling (Roy Orbison) .................................... I'm falling, I'm falling Falling in love with you Baby, Come closer closer to me, And listen listen so carefully Remember all the nights that I told you that I loved you It wasn't true,I used you,And you were just someone new To thrill this lonely heart of mine I was lying all the time Pretending to be falling in love with you But it's different now, I've kissed you now So forgive me forgive me somehow Hold me tight for tonight, Then tell me true If you still love me, Say that you love me Don't leave me now Now that I'm falling for you I'm falling, I'm falling Falling in love, Falling in love with you XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX I Should Have Known Better (Beatles) .................................... I should have known better with a girl like you That I would love everything that you do And I do, hey hey hey, and I do Whoa-oh I never realised what a kiss could be This could only happen to me Can't you see, can't you see That when I tell you that I love you oh You're gonna say you love me too oh And when I ask you to be mine You're gonna say you love me too So I should have realised a lot of things before If this is love you gotta give me more Give me more, hey hey hey, give me more Whoa-oh I never realised what a kiss could be This could only happen to me Can't you see, can't you see That when I tell you that I love you oh You're gonna say you love me too oh And when I ask you to be mine You're gonna say you love me too You love me too You love me too You love me too...
