Sam Cooke - Win Your Love For Me Lyrics

Sam Cooke - Win Your Love For Me Video

Wooah ooo little girl

How happy I would be

If some miracle could win your love for me

 

Wooah ooo little girl

How happy I would be

If some miracle could win your love for me

 

Win your love for me

 

Manys the day I've longed for you

To hold you in my arms

Manys the night I've cried for you

And for your many charms

 

If you'd only come to me my heart wouldn't be full of sorrow

But now all I can do is hope and prey that you will come to me tomorrow

 

Wooah ooo little girl

How happy I would be

If some miracle could win your love for me

 

Win your love for me

 

To me you are so beautiful

Beautiful as a song

Whenever I look at you my heart beat like the tom tom

If you'd only come to me

This torch I wouldn't have to carry

And if everything goes right

To the church we'll go to marry

 

Wooah ooo little girl

How happy I would be

If some miracle could win your love for me

 

Win your love for me

Sam Cooke - Another Saturday Night Lyrics

Sam Cooke - Another Saturday Night Video

Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody

I got some money 'Cause i just got paid

How I wish I had someone to talk to

I'm in an awful way

 

I got in town a month ago, I seen a lotta girls since then

If I could meet 'em I could get 'em but as yet I haven't met 'em

That's why I'm in the shape I'm in

 

Here another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody

I got some money 'Cause I just got paid

How I wish I had someone to talk to

I'm in an awful way

 

Another fella told me he had a sister who looked just fine

Instead of being my deliverance, she had a strange resemblance

To a cat named Frankenstein

 

Here's another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody

I got some money 'Cause I just got paid

How I wish I had some chick to talk to

I'm in an awful way

 

(Here it is another weekend and I ain't got nobody

Man if I was back home I'd be swinging

Two chicks on my arm

Aww yeah

Listen to me huh)

 

It's hard on a fella, when he don't know his way around

If I don't find me a honey to help me spend my money

I'm gonna have to blow this town

 

Here it's another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody

I got some money 'Cause I just got paid

How I wish I had some chick to talk to

I'm in an awful way

 

(chorus to fade)

Sam Cooke - When A Boy Falls In Love Lyrics

Sam Cooke - When A Boy Falls In Love Video

I've heard them say love was a wonderful things

Something you couldn't hide on a shelf

But for me they no longer have to explain

Because I know for myself

 

He awakens each morn with a smile on his face

When a boy is in love

And the world to him is a beatiful place

When a boy is in love

He's up and he's gone

There's no breakfast for him

Cause he lives on the love of his sweet little gem

The days not through, though it's not very long

Before he must talk to his girl on the phone

That's how it is when a boy falls in love

 

His girl's voice on the phone brings him wondrous delight

When a boy is in love

If there's been any darkness, it all fades from sight

When a boys in love

He can hardly wait til the moment they meet

For he knows when he sees her his day will be complete

When they're finally alone and he kisses her lips

The world sings a love song and his heart turns a flip

That's how it is when a boy falls in love

 

At the end of the day the time comes they must part

The strings of regret tear away at his heart

And late in the night as he sleeps on his bed

Visions of her sweet song, how they dance in his head

And before you know he is buying a ring

To capture forever that sweet darling thing

That's how it is when a boy falls in love

That's how it is when a boy falls in love

Sam Cooke - Fool's Paradise Video

I often think of the life I've led

And oh, it's a wonder I ain't dead

Drinking and gambling, staying out all night

Living in a fool's paradise

 

My mother told me, and Father told me too

Said my child, it'll all catch up with you

Drinking and gambling, staying out all night

Living in a fool's paradise

 

Though I've learned my lesson

Like all fools I've met

Oh, I've learned things in this life

That I haven't forgotten yet

 

My father told me, Mother said it right

Said my son, you're ruining your life

Drinking and gambling, staying out all night

Living in a fool's paradise

Oh, yeah, living in a fool's paradise

Sam Cooke - I'm Gonna Forget About You Lyrics

Sam Cooke - I'm Gonna Forget About You Video

I didn't sleep a wink all night long

Waitin' by my telephone

You said you'd call me 'bout a quarter to ten

But you went and stood me up again

 

I don't know what you're gonna do, but

I'm gonna forget about you, yeah

 

I'm gonna take your picture off my wall

And then I'm goin' out and have a ball

Too many fishes in the deep blue sea

For me to let you make a fool of me

 

I don't know what you're gonna do, but

I'm gonna forget about you

 

Please don't tell me that you're sorry

Don't give me the same old line

I know for a fact if I took you back

You'd make me lose my mind, baby

 

And if I lost it, it would be my fault

So I think it's time we called a halt

I've had as much of you as I can stand

Instead of me mistreat some other man

 

I don't know what you're gonna do, but

I'm gonna forget about you

 

Baby, I'm gonna take your picture off my wall

Then I'm goin' out and have a ball

Too many fishes in the deep blue sea

For me to let you make a fool of me

 

I don't know what you're gonna do, but

I'm gonna forget about you

 

Yeah, forget about you baby

I'm gonna forget about you

I'm gonna forget about you, baby

I'm gonna forget about you

Stealing kisses, precious kisses

You should be ashamed, I trust in you

Stealing kisses, someone's kisses

Starting a romance that wasn't meant for you

And I live each golden moment

With his love in my heart
