  I’ve Been Hurt (Whitley)
Recorded by John Farrell & Freedom - Release RL556 (1970)
I’ve been hurt, hurt, hurt, yes I’ve been hurt.
I’ve been hurt, like I’ve never been hurt before.
Cos you cheated, cheated, cheated, cheated on me
Cos you told me a load of lies.
And you lied - you lied to me,
Leave me alone little girl
Cos I’ve been hurt.

What’s happened, happened, happened, happened last night.
I saw you with another guy holding you tight.
And you lied – you lied to me
Leave me alone little girl
Cos I’ve been hurt

I’ve been hurt, hurt, hurt, yes I’ve been hurt.
I’ve been hurt, hurt, hurt, yes I’ve been hurt.

  Dark Circles (Ken Stewart)
Recorded by Gerry & The Ohio, Pye 7N17185 (1966)
Dark circles all around your eyes,
Because you cut me down to size.
And now you know that wasn’t right
You couldn’t sleep a wink last night.
You sat there crying in the blue,
Behind the locked door of your room.
But you can’t lock me from your heart,
It’s time we made another start.

Dark circles all around your eyes,
Making you feel sorry for the lies you told me.
Dark circles giving me a sign,
That you really love me after all.

Love can be everything that’s nice,
And then you’re walking on thin ice.
Sometimes it’s like a hurricane,
Or softer than the evening rain.
So dry your eyes and come to me,
Right by my side where you should be.
How much I care you’ll never know,
I’d fall apart if you should go.

Dark circles all around your eyes,
Making you feel sorry for the lies you told me.
Dark circles giving me a sign,
That you really love me after all.

That you really love me after all.
That you really love me after all.

  The Entertainer (Swarbrigg)
Recorded by The Times, Parlophone (1972)

You sing your way from coast to coast,
Sometimes you freeze, sometimes you roast.
You can disguise them coloured lights,
You watch the loves, you watch the fights.
You’re up for sale, sometimes you buy.
But if they won’t, you don’t ask why,
Sometimes you laugh sometimes you cry.

Cos you are an entertainer,
You know that you have got just what it takes.
Yes you are an entertainer
Someday you’ll get the breaks.
La la la la la, la la la la la,
La la la la la, la la la la la.

A smiling face amongst the crowd,
Can make you feel a little better.
Can make feel it’s all worthwhile,
A lifetime’s work for just a smile.
Your night is day, your day is night,
You live by artificial light.
But someday soon it’s gonna be all right.

Cos you are an entertainer,
You know that you have got just what it takes.
Yes you are an entertainer
Someday you’ll get the breaks.
La la la la la, la la la la la,
La la la la la, la la la la la.

Forget the year that you were born,
If it ain’t there it won’t come sudden.
You’re getting younger every day,
A girl she told you yesterday.
And if you comb your hair back far,
You’ll look a lot like Ringo Starr.
But you know who you really are.

Yes you are an entertainer.
You know that you have got just what it takes.
Yes you are an entertainer
Someday you’ll get the breaks.
La la la la la, la la la la la,
La la la la la, la la la la la.

  Our Love Will Go On (Coulter)
Recorded by Butch Moore & The Capitol

Everyone is talking ‘bout the way you’re going on
They’re saying that our love affair has been and gone.
They’re telling me that you have found somebody new
But honey tell me, our love will go on.

You had told me once, our love would stand the test of time
I planned our lives together thinking you were mine.
Now idle gossips say’s it’s over and we’re through
But honey tell me, our love will go on.

Life would be so empty, without your tender smile
I need you by my side, your hand in mine…oh oh,
I can’t go on without you, even for a while,
I will live you ‘till the end of time.

Now I ask you darling, is it yes or is it no?
Ease my worried mind and tell me it isn’t so.
You were meant for me and now the future’s up to you.
So honey tell me, our love will go on.

Life would be so empty, without your tender smile
I need you by my side, your hand in mine…oh oh,
I can’t go on without you, even for a while,
I will live you ‘till the end of time.

Now I ask you darling, is it yes or is it no?
Ease my worried mind and tell me it isn’t so.
You were meant for me and now the future’s up to you.
So honey tell me, our love will go on.

  One Kiss For Old Times Sake (Young/Resnick)
Recorded by Murty Quinn & The Miami
(originally recorded by Eddie Arnold)

One kiss for old times sake
Just like it used to be.
One kiss for old times sake
Could bring you back to me.

If you give me a chance
To love you one more time.
Then feel my lips on yours
Could change your mind.

Then you would know how much
I want you, I need you, I love you
Oh! My darling, please grant me this.


One kiss for old times sake
Just like it used to be
One kiss for old times sake
Could bring you back to me.

If there’s a spark of love
Still left from our romance.
You owe it to your heart
To give me one more chance.

Oh! Can’t you see how much
I want you, I need you, I love you
Oh! My darling, please grant me this.
