Lyrics

Ooh, I bet you’re wondering how I knew
About you’re plans to make me blue
With some other guy that you knew before.
Between the two of us guys
You know I love you more.
It took me by surprise I must say,
When I found out yesterday.
Don’t you know that…

(Chorus:)
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine.
Oh I heard it through the grapevine,
Oh and I’m just about to lose my mind.
Honey, honey yeah.

I know that a man ain’t supposed to cry,
But these tears I can’t hold inside.
Losin’ you would end my life you see,
Cause you mean that much to me.
You could have told me yourself
That you love someone else.
Instead…

(Chorus)

People say believe half of what you see,
Son, and none of what you hear.
I can’t help bein’ confused
If it’s true please tell me dear?
Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy you loved before?
Don’t you know…

(Chorus)

You come on like a dream, peaches and cream,
Lips like strawberry wine.
You’re sixteen, you’re beautiful and you’re mine. (mine, all mine)

You’re all ribbons and curls, ooh, what a girl,
Eyes that sparkle and shine.
You’re sixteen, you’re beautiful and you’re mine.
(mine, all mine, mine, mine)

You’re my baby, you’re my pet,
We fell in love on the night we met.
You touched my hand, my heart went pop,
Ooh, when we kissed, i could not stop.

You walked out of my dreams, into my arms,
Now you’re my angel divine.
You’re sixteen, you’re beautiful, and you’re mine.

You’re my baby, you’re my pet,
We fell in love on the night we met.
You touched my hand, my heart went pop,
Ooh, when we kissed, i could not stop.

You walked out of my dreams, into my car,
Now you’re my angel divine.
You’re sixteen, you’re beautiful, and you’re mine.

You’re sixteen, you’re beautiful, and you’re mine.

You’re sixteen, you’re beautiful, and you’re mine.

All mine, all mine, all mine.

All mine, all mine, all mine.

All mine, all mine, all mine, all mine, but i do.

You are mine!

What shall we do with the drunken sailor?
What shall we do with the drunken sailor?

I dont know why I love her like I do
All the changes you put me through
Take my money, my cigarettes
I havent seen the worst of it yet
I wanna know that youll tell me
I love to stay
Take me to the river, drop me in the water
Take me to the river, dip me in the water
Washing me down, washing me down

I dont know why you treat me so bad
Think of all the things we could have had
Love is an ocean that I cant forget
My sweet sixteen I would never regret

I wanna know that youll tell me
I love to stay
Take me to the river, drop me in the water
Push me in the river, dip me in the water
Washing me down, washing me

Hug me, squeeze me, love me, tease me
Till I cant, till I cant, till I cant take no more of it
Take me to the water, drop me in the river
Push me in the water, drop me in the river
Washing me down, washing me down

I dont know why I love you like I do
All the troubles you put me through
Sixteen candles there on my wall
And here am I the biggest fool of them all

I wanna know that youll tell me
I love to stay
Take me to the river and drop me in the water
Dip me in the river, drop me in the water
Washing me down, washing me down.

I wonder how your feeling
There’s ringing in my ears
And no one to relate to ‘cept the sea
Who can I belive in
I’m kneeling on the floor
There has to be a force who do I phone
The stars are out and shinning, but all I really want to know…
Oh won’t you show me the way
I want you …show me the way
Well, I can see no reason
You living on your nerves
When someone drops a cup and I submerge
I’m swimming in a circle
I feel I’m going down
There has to be a fool to play my part
Well someone thought of healing, but all I really want to know…
Oh won’t you show me the way (everyday)
I want you …show me the way
I want you day after day
I wonder if I’m dreaming
I feel so unashamed
I can’t belive this is happening to me
I watch you when you’re sleeping,and then I want to take your love
Oh won’t you show me the way (everyday)
I want you …show me the way
I want you day after day
Oh won’t you show me the way (everyday)
I want you …show me the way
I want you day after day

I’ve got this feeling down deep in my soul that I just can’t lose
Guess I’m on my way
Needed a friend
And the way I feel now I guess I’ll be with you ’til the end
Guess I’m on my way
Mighty glad you stayed

I’m stuck on you
Been a fool too long I guess it’s time for me to come on home
Guess I’m on my way
So hard to see
That a woman like you could wait around for a man like me
Guess I’m on my way
Mighty glad you stayed

Oh, I’m leaving on that midnight train tomorrow
And I know just where I’m going
I’ve packed up my troubles and I’ve thrown them all away
‘Cause this time little darling
I’m coming home to stay

I’m stuck on you
I’ve got this feeling down deep in my soul that I just can’t lose
Guess I’m on my way
Needed a friend
And the way I feel now I guess I’ll be with you ’til the end
Guess I’m on my way
I’m mighty glad you stayed

Got a flip-top pack of cigarettes in her pocket
Feeling good at the top
Shopping in sharp shoes
Walking in the sunshine town feeling very cool
But the butchers and the bakers in the supermarket stores
Getting everything she wants from the supermarket stores
Apples and oranges
Apples and oranges

Cornering neatly she trips up sweetly
To meet the people
She’s on time again
And then
I catch her by the eye then I stop and have to think
What a funny thing to do ’cause I’m feeling very pink
Apples and oranges
Apples and oranges

I love she
She loves me
See you
See you

Thought you might to know
I’m the lorry driver man
She’s on the run
Down by the river side
feeding ducks by the afternoon tide
(quack quack)
Apples and oranges
Apples and oranges
Apples and oranges

When April showers
may come your way
They bring the flowers
that bloom in May

So when it’s raining,
have no regrets

Because it isn’t raining rain,
you know
It’s raining violets

And when you see clouds
upon the hills
You know they’ll bring crowds
of daffodils

So just keep looking for a bluebird
and listening for his song
Whenever April showers
come along.

And when you see clouds
upon the hills
You know they’ll bring crowds
of daffodils

So just keep looking for a bluebird
and listening for his song
Whenever April showers
come along

It’s not everyday
that i find a person quite like you
perfect every way
i finally found the nerve to confess that it’s you - that i want
i don’t care if i act a fool
i would damn near beg for you !
put aside, all my pride
so don’t keep me hanging here
cause this girl is falling stupid for you..
stupid for you..

the proper thing to do
is for me to act like a lady and wait
for you to make the first move

but i don’t think you’re getting the point
that it’s you - that i want
i don’t care if i act a fool
i would damn near beg for you
put aside, all my pride
so don’t keep me waiting here
cause this girl is falling stupid for you!
oh, oh stupid for you

why’s it always feel like i am
chasing love when nothing’s there
and here i go just making the same mistake…

i’ve fallen stupid for you..

Theres a girl
Who sits under the bleachers
Just another day eating alone
And though she smiles
There is something she’s hiding
And she cant find a way to relate
She just goes unnoticed
As the crowd passes by
And she’ll pretend to be busy
When inside she just wants to cry
She’ll say…

Chorus

Take a little look at the life of Miss Always Invisible
Look a little closer, I really really want you to put yourself in her shoes
Take another look at the face of Miss Always Invisible
Look a little harder and maybe then you will see why she waits for the day
When you’ll ask her her name

In the beginning, in the first weeks of class
She did everything to try and fit in
But the others they couldnt seem to get past all the things that mismatched on the surface
And she would close her eyes when they laughed and she fell down the stairs
And the more that they joked
And the more that they screamed
She retreated to where she is now
And she’ll sing…

Chorus

Take a little look at the life of Miss Always Invisible
Look a little harder I really really want you to put yourself in her shoes
Take a little look at the face of Miss Always Invisible
Look a little closer and maybe then you will see why she waits for the day that you will ask her…her name

And one day just the same as the last
Just the days spent in counting the time
Came a boy who sat under the bleachers just a little bit further behind

A light shines off in the distance
A pale flickering glow
How many times do I have to dream that I could be there
The time is here and she won’t be waiting for me to find the easy way out
I’ve lost count of the days that were wasted

There’s an answer in the sound of a train
There is wisdom past the bridge on the bay
There’s a lifetime through the fog, in the rain
there’s a beauty in walking away

I float on the streets that are empty
take the path that the wind only knows
Tonight is the last time that I’ll ever be here

There’s an answer in the sound of a train
there is wisdom past the bridge on the bay
There’s a lifetime through the fog, in the rain
there’s a beauty in walking away

It’s never quite simple, it’s never that safe
it never seems perfect until it’s too late
It’s never the right time to find a new way

There’s an answer in the sound of a train
there is wisdom past the bridge on the bay
There’s a lifetime through the fog, in the rain
there’s a beauty in walking away
