Medley I - Live At The London Palladium/1976

A-one, a-two, a-one, two, three, four

Woo, these are songs we recorded back in 1960-something-or-other

I think it didn't go much further back

Honey, you do me wrong but still I'm crazy about you (thank you)

Stay away too long and I can't do without you

Every chance you get you seem to hurt me more and more

But each hurt makes my love stronger than before

I know flowers grow from rain

But how can love go from pain?

Ain't that peculiar?

A peculiar ality

Ain't that perculiar baby?

Peculiar as can be

Oh, baby, oh

Oh baby, ah baby

And you're a wonderful one

You're wonderful, baby

In you there is a rare quality

Your love, baby, it means the world to me

For me, you're always concerned

And you ask nothing, baby, in return

You're really more than I deserve

From my heart I mean these words

You're a wonderful one, oh, baby

You're so wonderful

You're so divine

You're my wonderful one, ah baby

Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah, oh

Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah, ooh

I try to put my arms around you

Because I wanna hold you tight

Every time I reach for you, baby

Try to kiss you, you jump out of sight

Oh, I've got news for you

I've got plans for two

I'm a stubborn kind of fellow

Got my mind made up to love you

Oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah, ah baby

Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

You are, ah baby, my pride and joy

And I love you, I love you, darlin'

Like a baby boy loves his toy

You've got kisses sweeter than honey

I work seven days a week, give you all my money

That's why you're my pride and joy, oh

You're my pride and joy, baby

I'm your baby boy

Oh, my father, yeah, ooh

Darlin', I love you

Little darlin' I need you

Little darlin' I want you

Little darlin' I've got to have you

And if it means giving up my life

I'm going to give it up (give it up), give it up

There's always one who loves more than the other

I don't mind, oh, don't mind

I'm willing to pay the price

Have your love at any sacrifice

Darlin', I love you

Little darlin', I need you

Little darlin', I want you

Little darlin', got to have you, oh

Oh

I bet you're wonderin' how I knew

'Bout your plans to make me blue

With some other guy you knew before

Between the two of us guys

You know I loved you more

It took me by surprise I must say

When I found out yesterday

Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine

Not much longer would you be mine

Oh, I heard it through the grapevine

Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind

Honey, honey, ow

Yeah, baby, that's what I heard

Oh sugar, woo, woo

Wait a minute, I need a ride

I'm going to Chicago, that's the last place my baby strayed

(Hitch hike) Hitch hike, baby (Hitch hike)

I'm packin' up my bags, gonna leave this old town right away

(Hitch hike) Hitch hike, baby (Hitch hike)

I've got to find that girl if I have to hitch hike all around the world

(Hitch hike)

Chicago City Limits, that's what the sign on the highway read

(Hitch hike) Hitch hike, baby, woo (Hitch hike)

I'm gonna keep movin 'till I get to that street corner 6th and 3rd

(Hitch hike) Hitch hike (Hitch hike)

Gonna find that girl if I have to hitch hike all around the world

Hitch hike (Hitch hike), ah, hitch a ride (Hitch hike)

(Hitch hike, hitch hike) Hitch hike, baby, wow

Oh, you, you I see in my mirror in the mornin'

Instead of seein' me

I see you, I see your face

And inside me is a growing need for your embrace

In the light of day, though our faces meet

Someone there might see, so we never speak

'Til the dark of night, while the moon is new

When we whisper words of love in our secret rendezvous

Somethin's wrong I know, girl, I love you so

I love you, need you, baby, wow

You, oh baby

I'm too busy thinking about my baby

I'm too busy thinking about my baby

I ain't got time for nothin' else

I ain't got time to think about the weather

Or what makes a flower grow

Too busy thinking about my baby, oh baby

I ain't got time to do no studying

I don't have time to do no birdy watching

I'm too busy thinking about her, and I love her

How sweet it is to be loved by you

How sweet it is to be loved by you, oh now baby

How sweet it is to be loved by you, baby, ah baby now

Ow, oh, how sweet it is, oh baby

It's so sweet loving you

When somebody loves you, ah, it's so sweet

When somebody loves you, it's so sweet

When somebody needs you and loves you, it's so sweet

That's why you say, ah, how sweet it is to be loved by you

Ooh, it's so doggone sweet now, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, ow

You know, ladies and gentlemen

We're gonna take this time to tell you how sweet it is to be loved by you

You see, you stuck by me all these years

And that's been a long time, twelve or thirteen years, maybe fourteen

It won't be so long time, the next time, if the Lord willing

How sweet it is to be loved by you

You love me, I think you love me

But I wanna tell you I know I love you

I think you love me, I know you love me

When I say it, oh baby

How sweet it is to be loved by you

How sweet it is to be loved by you, baby

You've been wonderful

How sweet it is to be loved by you, you, and you, and you

Woo, how sweet it is
