Lobo Platinum Collection Lyrics
1.I'd Love You To Want Me

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

When I saw you standing there
I bout fell out my chair
And when you moved your mouth to speak
I felt the blood go to my feet.

Now it took time for me to know
what you tried so not to show
Now something in my soul just cries
I see the want in your blue eyes.

Baby, I'd love you to want me
The way that I want you
The way that it should be
Baby, you'd love me to want you
The way that I want to
If you'd only let it be.

You told yourself years ago
You'd never let your feeling show
The obligation that you made
For the title that they gave.


2.Don't Expect Me To Be Your Friend

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

I stopped sending flowers to your apartment
You said you aren't home much anymore
I stopped dropping by without an appointment
Cause I'd hear laughter coming through your door

Sometimes late at night you'll still call me
Just before you close your eyes to sleep
You make me vow to try and stop by sometime
Baby that's a promise I can't keep

I love you too much to ever start liking you
So let's just let the story kinda end
I love you too much to ever start liking you
So don't expect me to be your friend

I don't walk down through the village or other places
That we used to go to all the time
I'm trying to erase you from my memory
'Cause thinking of you jumbles up my mind
You always act so happy when I see you
You smile that way you take my hand and then
Introduce me to your latest lover
That's when I feel the walls start crashing in


3.How Can I Tell Her

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo
Artist:Lobo

She knows when I'm lonesome, she cries when I'm sad
She's up in the good times, she's down in the bad
Whenever I'm discouraged, she knows just what to do
But girl she doesn't know about you.

I can tell her my troubles, she makes them all seem right
I can make up excuses not to hold her at night
We can talk of tomorrow, I'll tell her things that I want to do
But girl how can I tell her about you.

How can I tell her about you
Girl please tell me what to do
Everything seems right whenever I'm with you
So girl won't you tell me how to tell her about you.

How can I tell her I don't miss her whenever I'm away
How can I say it's you I think of every single night and day
But when is it easy telling someone we're through
Ah girl help me tell her about you.


4.Stoney

Lyrics:Lobo/Billy Meshel
Music:Lobo/Billy Meshel

I've known her since we both were kids,
I recall the silly things we did
She would want to ride up on my back
To keep from stepping on a crack
I didn't think of it back then
But even when she did not win
She was happy just to play
Stoney likes to live out everyday

Stoney, happy all the time
Stoney, live is summertime
The joy you find in living everyday
Stoney, how I love your simple ways

The times when no one understood
Seems that Stoney always would
We walk for hours in the sand
She would always try and hold my hand

Now I don't recollect the time
I fell in love with this old friend of mine
Or when I first saw in her eyes
What she tried so not to hide.


5.Me And You And A Dog Named Boo

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

I remember to this day
The bright red Georgia clay
And how it stuck to the tires
After the summer rain
Will power made that old car go
A woman's mind told me that so
Oh how I wish
We were back on the road again

Me and you and a dog named boo
Travellin' and livin' off the land
Me and you and a dog named boo
How I love being a free man

I can still recall
The wheat fields of St. Paul
And the morning we got caught
Robbing from an old hen
Old McDonald he made us work
But then he paid us for what it was worth
Another tank of gas
And back on the road again

I'll never forget the day
We motored stately into big L.A.
The lights of the city put settlin'
Down in my brain
Though it's only been a month or so
That old car's buggin' us to go
We've gotta get away and get back on
The road again


6.Let It Be Me

Lyrics:Mann Curtis
Music:Gilbert Becaud
Artist:Lobo/Nannette Bohannon

I bless the day I found you,
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you, let it be me
Don't take this heaven from one,
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever, let it be me
Each time we meet love,
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
what would life be
So never leave me lonely,
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always let it be me
Each time we meet love,
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
what would life be


7.Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow

Lyrics:Gerry Goffin/Carole King
Music:Gerry Goffin/Carole King

Tonight you're mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow

Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure
Can I believe
The magic of your eyes
Will you still love me tomorrow

Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun

I'd like to know
That your love
Is a love I can be sure of
So tell me now
And I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow


8.Rock And Roll Days

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

I've seen a lot of things change in many ways
Since I was a boy back in the rock and roll days
Back when a bust was a six-pack of cold beer.
Marciano, he was champ the band all played through one amp
And the biggest thing was getting rubber in second gear

I love the rock and roll days
And I love all the good old ways
We used to do things in our crowd
I love the rock and roll days
And I love all the good old ways
We used to do the same things that we do now.

The only bikes back there were Schwinns
The only pigs were the bad wolf's friend
And going to the outdoor movie was something neat
Messing around then was not big
That's the one thing I did not dig
I was lucky to get as far as the back seat.

(Erbee/Goozewyn/B. Stom/Umbertios) Big Lift Music, Holland

Down the way where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top

10.A Simple Man

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

Where do butterflies go when it rains?
Who goes around & tucks in the trains?
What makes a teddy bear like to sleep?
Why do we all make promises that we can't keep?

Where do puppy dogs go when their sad?
And what do elephants say when their mad?
Who do you tell if you don't have a friend?
Why do we open our mouths and stick our foot in?

These are the things that bother me,
Not a lot of things across some sea,
I don't even have a master plan,
I guess that I am just a simple man.

Where do robins sleep on the road?
And how can a little ant carry that load?
Why write words that we have to erase?
Why does everyone have more than one face?


11.There Ain't No Way

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

The dirty rain is falling
I hear the wind a calling me away
The motel sign is flashing
And in my mind I'm crashing what to say.
What to say

The words they started flowing
And passions started growing like years ago
The wine made my mind crazy
But now I'm not so hazy I gotta go
I Gotta Go

The love we made today
It was just a foolish way
To try to bring back yesterday there ain't no way.

The dirty rain is falling
And in my mind it's calling me away
I'm staring at the ceiling
I can't let that feeling make me stay.
I Just Can't Stay


12.It Sure Took A Long Long Time

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

I'm sure it might have grown old
Like most young things usually do
and dangling a line to try and find your mind
For that I can't blame you.

Now I'm not questioning your motives
For all the silly things you've done
Now you're coming round putting yourself down
Telling me I always was the one

It sure took a long time to miss me
A long time for you to come around
A long time to find what was wrong
It sure took a long, long time.

The magic that we had together
Seems so much stronger than before
What did I learn to make the love return
O girl I've got to learn some more.


13.Faithful

Lyrics:Billy Aerts
Music:Billy Aerts

I never wanted anyone before
Half as much as I want you
I finally found what I've been searching for
My whole life through

You're the answer to the prayers I've prayed
More than I've ever dreamed of
So I give to you my heart today
And pledge my eternal love

I'll be faithful, faithful till the end
I'm so thankful that heaven
Chose to send you
And this love will last forever
Forever I'll be true
And be faithful to you

You're my one and only one you see
There's just no one to compare
I'll hold and keep you close to me
Way beyond our golden years

Our two hearts will always beat as one
One thing you can know for sure
I promise that I'll never let you down
Your trust in me's secure


14.I Long To See My Home / Yellow River

I Long To See My Home
Written:Lobo

I'm so tired of being so alone
So scared I'm sick inside
I long to see my home
On yellow river

Yellow River
Written:Jeff Cristy)

So long boy you can take my place,
Got my papers got my pay
So pack my bags and I'll be on my way
To yellow river

Put my guns down the war is won
Fill my glass high the time has come
I'm going back to the place that I love
Yellow river

Yellow river yellow river
Is in my mind and in my eyes
Yellow river yellow river
Is in my blood it's the place I love
Got no time for explanation got no time to lose
Tomorrow night you'll find me
Sleeping underneath the moon at yellow river

Cannon fire lingers in my mind
I'm so glad that I'm still alive
And I've been gone for such a long time
From yellow river

I remember the nights were cool
I can still see the water pool
And I remember the girl that I knew
On yellow river


15.Back Bay

Lyrics:Kent Lavoie
Music:Kent Lavoie

Out of work I took a job as a
Hand on a boat
In a town called Matlache
On my first day off I was
Sitting drinking beer
At a bar called the dock of the bay

When in walked a woman
That every man eyed
But her eyes stayed right on me
The guy next to me he
Whispered real low
There's more to her than you can see

She comes from the back bay
Better stay away
She lives up on the back bay
And then he moved on away

Well she came and sat down
And the hours flew by
And the beer flowed just like the tide
The sun went down and the moon came up
And there was fire in her eyes

She took me for a ride in the white moonlight
In a boat like I've never seen
As the bay flew by the sky was alive
I was seeing things that I've never seen

She said you're going to the back bay
You're gonna see my ways
Cause there's magic on the back bay
You might even want to stay

Well I woke in the morning to
Her house boat rocking
Eye to eye with an old brown hound
There was fresh mullet frying
And strange birds crying
And no one else for miles around

I saw her standing there with
The breeze in her hair
I knew I never wanted to leave
I saw all my things around I
Knew she'd been back into town
And already mad the move for me

She said you're moving to the back bay
You're gonna see my ways
You're gonna love it on the back bay
And you're always gonna stay


16.Dream Lover

Lyrics:Bobby Darin
Music:Bobby Darin

Every night I hope and pray
A dream lover will come my way
A girl to hold in my arms
And know the magic of her charms

Cause I want
A girl to call my own
I want a dream lover
So I won't have to dream alone

Dream lover where are you
With a love that's oh so true
And a hand that I can hold
To feel her near as I grow old

Someday I don't know how
I hope she'll hear my plea
Some way I don't know how
She'll bring her love to me

Dream lover until then
I go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do
Till all my lover's dreams come true


17.It Doesn't Matter Anymore

Lyrics:Paul Anka
Music:Paul Anka

There you go and baby here am I
You left me here so I could sit and cry
Golly gee what have you done to me
I guess it doesn't matter anymore

Do you remember baby last September
When I held you tight each and every night
Whoops a daisy how you drove me crazy
I guess it doesn't matter any more

There's no use in me crying
I've done everything and I'm sick of trying
I've thrown away my nights
And wasted all my days
Over you

You go your way baby
And I'll go mine
Now and forever till the end of time
I'll find somebody new
And baby we'll say we're through
And you won't matter any more


18.Don't Tell Me Goodnight

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

Lying there beside me
With your head resting on my arm
Your body feels so warm
And your hair smells
Like a Sunday morning

I feel you moving closer
And I know what you're gonna say
But girl there's just no way
I'll ever like what you'll be saying

Don't tell me goodnight
It makes me feel so empty inside
And if only I could
I wouldn't sleep at all

Don't tell me goodnight
Just let me drift off slowly away
And dream of you

You reach out and you touch me
Just to let me know you're there
And I can feel your hair
And somehow I don't
Feel like sleeping


19.The End Of The World

Lyrics:Arthur Kent/Sylvia Dee
Music:Arthur Kent/Sylvia Dee

Why does the sun go no shining
Why does the sea rush to shore
Don't they know it's the end of the world
Cause you don't love me anymore

Why do the birds go no singing
Why do the stars glow above
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when i lost your love

I wake up in the morning
And I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand
No I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does

Why does my heart go on beating
Why do these eyes on mine cry
Don't then know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said good-bye


20.My First Time

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

I was a inexperienced boy who just turned fifteen
She was a worldly woman exactly my same age
And I had heard the stories going around about her
Ah what I heard put my young blood into a rage

So I asked to take her out one Friday evening
Scared to death I'd find what I was looking for
And when she got into my car She sat close to me
Then reached right out and firmly locked my door

My first time
Going through my mind
Was this is my first time
My first time
Please be kind this is my first time

Then she suggested we drive out somewhere into the country
Then she suggested we climb into the back seat
But when she asked how long I thought that I could last there
Ah I had to confess it was all over for me

You see this is my first time
I was so blind
This is my first time
My first time
You were so kind
My first time

My first time
It was so fine
My first time
