Don't know much about history,
Don't know much Biology.
Don't know much about a science book,
Don't know much about the French I took.
But I do know that I love you,
And I know that if you love me, too,
What a wonderful world this would be.
The moon belongs to everyone
The best things in life they're free
Stars belong to everyone
They cling there for you and for me.
Let me tell you 'bout a place
Somewhere up a New York way,
Where the people are so gay,
Twistin' the night away...
Oh my baby's coming home tomorrow
Ain't that good news, man, ain't that news?
Baby's coming home tomorrow
Ain't that news, man, ain't that news?
At first I thought it was infatuation
But woo, it's lasted so long.
Now I find myself wanting
To marry you and take you home.
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
Folks say that you've
Found someone new
To do the things I used to do for you.
Just call my name,
I'm not ashamed,
I'll come running back to you.
It's summertime and the living is easy
Fish are jumping and the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich and your mama's good-looking
Hush, little baby don't you cry.
Cupid draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me
For me...
Cupid please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me.
Yeah, come on & let the good times roll
We're gonna stay here till we soothe our souls.
If it take all night long.
If you ever change your mind
About leaving, leaving me behind
Baby, bring it to me, bring your sweet lovin'
Bring it on home to me
Yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah).
Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody,
I have some money 'cause I just got paid.
How I wish I had someone to talk to,
I'm in an awful way.
I was born by the river
In a little tent.
And just like the river,
I've been running ever since.
