My True Story

Aaron Neville My True Story Lyrics
1.Money Honey

(Verse)
You know, the landlord rang my front door bell,
I let it ring for a long, long spell,
I went to the window, peaked through the bar,
Tell me what was on the old man's mind.

(Chorus)
Money, honey,
Money, honey,
Money, honey,
If you wanna stay here with me.

(Verse)
I scream and I scream and I'm so hard pressed
I call the woman that I love best.
I finally reached my baby by half past three
I said I like to do what you want with me.

She said
(Chorus)
Money, honey,
Money, honey,
Money, honey,
If you wanna get along with me.

(Verse)
She screamed and said what's wrong with you?
Just stay home, problem is stay trough
I said, tell me, baby, face to face,
How could another man take my place?

She said
(Chorus)
Money, honey,
Money, honey,
Money, honey,
If you wanna get along with me.

(Verse)
I learned my lesson and now I knew
They saw me shining, with me blue.
When my day come and where my day go
But though I say how I love 'em so.

I want the
(Chorus)
Money, honey,
Money, honey,
Money, honey,
If you wanna stay here with me.


2.My True Story

(Verse)
There is the story that I must tell
Of two lovers that I knew well.

(Chorus)
Now they must cry, cry, cry
Their blues away.
Now they must cry, cry, cry
Their blues away.

(Verse)
Her name was Sue Ann,
His name was Earl.
His love was Loraine,
Such a wonderful girl.

(Chorus)
Now they must cry, cry, cry
Their blues away.
Cry, cry, cry
Their blues away.

(Bridge)
Love will make you happy
And love will make you cry
Love will make your tears fall
When your lover says goodbye.

(Chorus)
Now they must cry, cry, cry
Their blues away.
Cry, cry, cry
Their blues away.

(Verse)
The story been there
And it was no lie,
Names have been changed here
To protect you and I.

(Chorus)
We must cry, cry, cry
Our blues away.
Cry, cry, cry
Our blues away.

And we must cry, cry, cry
Our blues away.
Cry, cry, cry
Our blues away.


3.Ruby Baby

(Verse)
I have a girl and Ruby is her name
She don't look at me but I love her just the same.

(Chorus)
Ruby, ruby, how I want you,
Like a ghost I'm gonna haunt you
Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine?

(Verse)
The next time I'll see you
Give you my whole cries.
I'm gonna steal you away from all those guys.

(Chorus)
From the Sunday, the day I met you,
I've been in bed, I'm gonna get you
Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine?

(Verse)
I got a girl and Ruby is her name
And I need a girl just to set her hall of fame.

(Chorus)
Got some other money, too
I'm gonna give it all of you
Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine?
Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine?
Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine?


4.Gypsy Woman

(Verse)
From nowhere, through a caravan,
Around the camp fire light,
A lovely woman in motion
But hair as dark as night.
Her eyes were like that of a candle doll
But it returns me with love.

(Chorus)
She was a gypsy woman
She was a gypsy woman.

(Verse)
She danced around and round
To a guitar melody.
And from far her face was all a glow
How seen a chat in me.
Oh, how I'd like to hold her,
And kiss and forever whisper in her ear

(Chorus)
I love you, gypsy woman,
I love you, gypsy woman.

(Bridge)
All through the caravan
She was dancing with all men
Waiting for the rising sun,
Everyone was in heaven.
I hate to see the lady go,
Knowing she will never know
That I love her, I love her.

(Chorus)
Gipsy woman, she was a gipsy woman
Gypsy woman, gypsy woman.

(Bridge)
All through the caravan
She was dancing with all men
Waiting for the rising sun,
Everyone was in heaven.
I hate to see the lady go,
Knowing she will never know
That I love her, I love her.

(Chorus)
Gipsy woman, she was a gipsy woman
Gypsy woman, gypsy woman.


5.Ting A Ling

Well now I'm just a poor young boy
And these girls 'bout to drive me wild
Yeah I'm just a poor young boy
And these girls 'bout to drive me wild
Yeah I-I'm just a poor young boy

And it's a real fine way to be
Yeah I-I'm young and I'm free-ee
And it's a real fine way to be
I want a fine young girl that is so nice and free

The way they laugh, the way they sing
Makes my heart go ting-a-ling

Makes my heart go ting-a-ling
The way they laugh, and si-i-ing
Makes my heart go ting-a-ling
Ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling

The night we met I knew I, I needed you so

You don't remember me, but I remember you.
It was not so long ago, you broke my heart in two.

Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart,
Caused by you, you.

If we could start anew I wouldn't hesitate
I'd gladly take you back and temper hand of fate.

Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart,
Caused by you, you.

Longest, I will catch you,
And longest night of talk.
When you found the one you love
She filled your heart with joy.

And temper hand of fate.

Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart,
Caused by you, you.

You don't remember me,
I remember you
Like it was just yesterday,
I remember you
Cause you played me for a fool.


9.Under The Boardwalk

(Verse)
Oh, when the sun beats down and burns the tore up on the roof
And your shoes get so hot, you wish your entire feet were
fireproof.

(Chorus)
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea
On a blanket with my baby it's where I'll be.
Under the boardwalk, I ever saw,
Under the boardwalk, to be having some fun,
Under the boardwalk, people walking above,
Under the boardwalk, to be falling in love,
Under the boardwalk, boardwalk.

(Verse)
And in the back you hear the tappy sound of the carousel
You can almost test the hot dogs and French fries they sell.

(Chorus)
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea
On a blanket with my baby it's where I'll be.
Under the boardwalk, I ever saw,
Under the boardwalk, to be having some fun,
Under the boardwalk, people walking above,
Under the boardwalk, to be falling in love,
Under the boardwalk, boardwalk.

11.This Magic Moment / True Love(Medley)

This magic moment, so different and so new,
Like any other until I kissed you.
And then it happened, it took me by surprise
I know you felt it, too, by the look in your eyes.

Sweeter than wine, softer than a summer night,
Everything I wanna have is when I pull you tight.

This magic moment, your ear close, close to mine
Will last forever, forever, till the end of the time.

Magic, magic, magic, magic.

Sweeter than wine, softer than a summer night,
Everything I wanna have is when I pull you tight.
This magic moment while your lips are close to mine
Will last forever, forever till the end of the time.

Magic, magic, magic, magic.
Magic, magic, magic, magic.

If you cry, my heart will break
Darling, that you moving I can take.
And if I saw a tear fall from your eye
Darling, don't you know that I would die?

True love, true love, true love, true love.

If you cry, I don't know what I'd do
Darling, I am so in love with you.
And if I heard that I had caused you pain
My tears will pour like the rain.

True love, true love, true love, true love.


12.Goodnight My Love(Pleasant Dreams)

Goodnight, my love, pleasant dreams
Sleep tight, my love, may tomorrow be sunny and bright
And bring you closer to me.

Before you go, there's just one thing I'd like to know,
Is your love still warm for me or has it gone cold?

If you should've wake in the still of the night,
Please, have no fear.
I'll be there, you know I care
Please, give your love to me, dear, only.

Goodnight, my love, pleasant dreams
And sleep tight, my love, may tomorrow be sunny and bright
And bring you closer to me.

If you should wake in the still of night,
Please, have no fear.
I'll be there, you know I care
Please, give your love to me, dear, only.

Goodnight, my love, pleasant dreams
And sleep tight, my love, may tomorrow be sunny and bright
And bring you closer to me.
