1963 That boy took my love away He’ll regret it someday But this boy wants you back again That boy isn’t good for you Though he may want you too This boy wants you back again Oh, and this boy would be happy Just to love you, but oh my That boy won’t be happy Till he’s seen you cry This boy wouldn’t mind the pain Would always feel the same If this boy gets you back again This boy, this boy, this boy
I call your name But you’re not there Was I to blame For being unfair?
Don’t you know I can’t take it? I don’t know who can I’m not gonna make it I’m not that kind of man
Don’t you know I can’t take it? I don’t know who can I’m not gonna make it I’m not that kind of man
Oh, I can’t sleep at night Since you’ve been gone I never weep at night I can’t go on
Oh, I can’t sleep at night But just the same I never weep at night I call your name
Oh, I can’t sleep at night But just the same I never weep at night I call your name I call your name I call your name
I want to tell you My head is filled with things to say When you’re here All those words, they seem to slip away When I get near you The games begin to drag me down It’s alright I’ll make you maybe next time around But if I seem to act unkind It’s only me, it’s not my mind That is confusing things I want to tell you I feel hung up but I don’t know why I don’t mind I could wait forever, I’ve got time Sometimes I wish I knew you well Then I could speak my mind and tell you Maybe you’d understand I want to tell you I feel hung up but I don’t know why I don’t mind I could wait forever, I’ve got time I’ve got time, I’ve got time

Turn off your mind, relax and float down stream It is not dying, it is not dying Lay down all thought, surrender to the void It is shining, it is shining That you may see the meaning of within It is being, it is being That love is all and love is everyone It is knowing, it is knowing That ignorance and haste may mourn the dead It is believing, it is believing But listen to the colour of your dreams It is not living, it is not living Or play the game existence to the end Of the beginning, of the beginning Of the beginning, of the beginning Of the beginning, of the beginning Of the beginning, of the beginning
