The Beach Boys Best Of The Beach Boys Vol. 3 Lyrics
1.God Only Know (Vol. 3)

I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it

God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me

God only knows what I'd be without you

God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Well life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me

God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows
God only knows what I'd be without you

4.Girl Don't Tell Me (Vol. 3)

Hi little girl, it's me
Don't you know who I am?
I met you last summer when
When I came up to stay with my grand
I'm the guy-uy-uy who
Left you with tears in his eyes
You didn't answer my letters
So I figured it was just lie

Your hair's getting longer and your shorts
Mmm they sure fit you fine
I'll bet you went out
Every night during ol' school time
But this ti-i-ime I'm not gonna count on you
I'll see you this summer
And forget you when I go back to school

Girl Don't tell me you'll write-ite-ite
Girl don't tell me you'll write-ite-ite
Girl don't tell me you'll write me again this time

Hi little girl, it's me
Don't you know who I am?
I met you last summer when
When I came up to stay with my grand
Said I'm the guy-uy-uy who
Left you with tears in his eyes
You didn't answer my letters
So I figured it was just lie

Girl Don't tell me you'll write-ite-ite
Girl don't tell me you'll write-ite-ite
Girl don't tell me you'll write me again this time

Girl don't tell me you'll write me again this time


5.Do It Again (UK Vol. 3)

It's automatic when I
Talk with old friends
The conversation turns to
Girls we knew when their
Hair was soft and long and the
Beach was the place to go

Suntanned bodies and
Waves of sunshine the
California girls and a
Beautiful coastline
Warmed up weather
Let's get together and
Do it again

With a girl the lonely sea looks good in moonlight
Makes your nighttimes warm and out of sight

Been so long
(Hey now hey now hey now hey now hey now)
(Hey now hey now hey now hey now hey now)

Well I've been thinking 'bout
All the places we've surfed and danced and
All the faces we've missed so let's get
Back together and do it again

Ow!


6.The Warmth Of The Sun (UK Vol. 3)

What good is the dawn
That grows into day
The sunset at night
Or living this way

For I have the warmth of the sun
(Warmth of the sun)
Within me at night
(Within me at night)

The love of my life
She left me one day
I cried when she said
'I don't feel the same way'

Still I have the warmth of the sun
(Warmth of the sun)
Within me tonight
(Within me tonight)

I'll dreams of her arms
And though they're not real
Just like she's still there
The way that I feel

My love's like the warmth of the sun
(Warmth of the sun)
It won't ever die
(It won't ever die)


7.Catch A Wave (UK Vol. 3)

Catch a wave and you're sitting on top of the world

Don't be afraid to try the greatest sport around
Everybody tries it once
Those who don't just have to put it down
You paddle out turn around and raise
And baby that's all there is to the coastline craze
You gotta catch a wave and you're sittin' on top of the world

Not just a fad cause it's been going on so long
All the surfers going strong
They said it wouldn't last too long
They'll eat their words with a fork and spoon
And watch 'em they'll hit the road and all be surfin' soon
And when they catch a wave they'll be sittin' on top of the
world

Catch a wave and your sittin' on top of the world

So take a lesson from a top-notch surfer boy
Every Saturday boy
But don't treat it like a toy
Just get away from the shady turf
And baby go catch some rays on the sunny surf
And when you catch a wave you'll be sittin on top of the world

Catch a wave and you'll be sittin' on top of the world
Catch a wave and you'll be sittin' on top of the world
Catch a wave and you'll be sittin' on top of the world

9.Let Him Run Wild (Vol. 3)

When I watched you walk with him
Tears filled my eyes
And when I heard you talk with him
I couldn't stand his lies
And now before he tries it
I hope you realize it

Let him run wild
He don't care
Let him run wild
He'll find out
Let him run wild
He don't care

(Guess you know I waited for you)
He'll do the same to other girls
That he did to you
But then one day he'll run in to one
That's gonna hurt him too
Before he makes you over
I'm gonna take you over

Let him run wild
He don't care
Let him run wild
He'll find out
Let him run wild
He don't care

(Guess you know I waited for you girl)
All the dreams you shared with him
You might as well forget
I know you need a truer love
And that's what you'll get
And now that you don't need him
Well he can have his freedom

Let him run wild
He don't care
Let him run wild
He'll find out
Let him run wild
He don't care
Let him run wild
He'll find out
Let him run wild
He don't care
Let him run wild
He'll find out
Let him run wild

12.Frosty The Snowman (Vol. 3)

Frosty the snowman
Was a jolly happy soul
With a corn-cob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal

Frosty the snowman
Is a fairy tale they say
He was made of snow
But the children know
How he came to life one day

There must have been some magic
In that old silk hat they found
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around

Frosty the snowman
Was alive as he could be
And the children say
He could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me

Frosty the snowman
Knew the sun was hot that day
So he said, 'let's run
And we'll have some fun
Now before i melt away'

Down to the village
With a broomstick in his hand
Running here and there
All around the square
Saying, 'catch me if you can'

He led them down
The streets of town
Right to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment
When he heard them holler, 'stop!'

Frosty the snowman
Had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye
Saying, 'don't you cry
I'll be back again some day'


13.Friends (UK Vol. 3)

We've been friends now for so many years
We've been together through the good times and the tears
Turned each other on to the good things that life has to give

We drift apart for a little bit of a spell
One night i get a call and i know that you're well
And days i was down you would help me get out of my hole

Ohhhhhhhh

Let's be friends
Let's be friends
Let's be friends

You told me when my girl was untrue
I loaned you money when the funds weren't too cool
I talked your folks out of making you cut off your hair

We've been friends now for so many years
We've been together through the good times and the tears
Dim dipple ee dim dipple ay dim dipple oo dim dee aye oh

This would've been worth waiting forever
I always it'd feel this way

And please forgive my shaking
Can't you tell my heart is breaking?

For so long i thought about it
And now i just can't live without it
This beautiful image i have of you

17.She Knows Me Too Well (Vol. 3)

She knows me
She knows me

Sometimes i have a weird way of showing my love
And i always expect her to know what i'm thinking of

She knows me

I treat her so mean i don't deserve what i have
And i think that she'll forget just by making her laugh
But she knows me

She knows me too well
Knows me so well
That she can tell
I really love her
She knows me too well

I get so jealous of the other guy
And then i'm not happy til i make her break down and cry
When i look at other girls it must kill her inside
But it'd be another story if she looked at the guys
But she knows me

She knows me too well
Knows me so well
That she can tell
I really love her
She knows me too well

She knows me
She knows me

When i look at other girls it must kill her inside
But it'd be another story if she looked at the guys
Cause she knows me

Knows me so well
That she can tell
I really love her
She knows me too well


18.Heroes And Villains (Vol. 3)

Lyricist:Van Dyke Parks, Brian Wilson

I've been in this town so long
That back in the city
I've been taken for lost and gone
And unknown for a long long time

Fell in love years ago
With an innocent girl
From the Spanish and Indian home
Home of the heroes and villains

Once at night
Catillian squared the fight
And she was right in the rain of the bullets
That eventually brought her down

But she's still dancing
In the night
Unafraid of what a dude'll do
In a town full of heroes and villains

In the cantina
Margarita's keep the spirit high
There I watched her
She spun around and around

In the warmth of her body
Fanned the flame of the dance
Dance Margarita don't you know
That I'm in love with you, dance

You're under arrest

My children were raised
You know they suddenly rise
They started slow long ago
Head to toe healthy, wealthy and often wise

At three score and five
I'm very much alive
I still got the jive
To survive with the heroes and villains


19.Good Vibrations (Vol. 3)

Lyricist:Mike Love, Brian Wilson

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears
And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair
I hear the sound of a gentle word
On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air

I'm picking up good vibrations
She's giving me the excitations
Good bop bop, good vibrations
Bop bop, excitations
Good, good, good, good vibrations
Good, good, good, good vibrations

Close my eyes, she is somehow closer now
Softly smile, I know she must be kind
When I look in her eyes
She goes with me to a blossom world

I'm picking up good vibrations
She's giving me the excitations
Good bop bop, good vibrations
Bop bop, excitations
Good, good, good, good vibrations
Good, good, good, good vibrations

I, my, my
I don't know where but she sends me there
Oh, my, my, my, what a sensation
Oh, my, my, what elation

Got to keep those loving good vibrations
Happening with her
Got to keep those loving good vibrations
Happening with her

Got to keep those loving good vibrations
Happening with her
Got to keep those loving good vibrations
Happening

Good, good, good, good vibrations
Good, good, good, good vibrations


20.I Know There's An Answer (UK Vol. 3)

Lyricist:Mike Love, Sachen, Wilson

I know so many people
Who think they can do it alone
They isolate their heads
And stay in their safety zones

Now what can you tell them
And what can you say
That won't make them defensive

I know there's an answer
I know now but I have to find it by myself

They come on like they're peaceful
But inside they're so uptight
They trip through their day
And waste all their thoughts at night

Now how can I come out
And tell them the way that they live could be better

I know there's an answer
I know now but I have to find it by myself

Now how can I come on
And tell them the way that they live could be better

I know there's an answer
I know now but I have to find it by myself


21.The Little Girl I Once Knew (Vol. 3)

Lyricist:Brian Wilson

We met when she was younger
Then, I had no eyes for her
A few years went by and I saw her
Now I'm gonna try for her

Look out babe

She's not the little girl I once knew
She's not the little girl I once knew
She's not the little girl I once knew
She's not the little girl I once knew

How could I ever have known that
She'd be what she is today?
And look at how her boyfriend holds her
I'll be moving in one day

Split man

She's not the little girl I once knew
She's not the little girl I once knew
She's not the little girl I once knew
She's not the little girl I once knew

La doo day p-pow pow pow
La doo day p-pow pow pow
La doo day p-pow pow pow

She's not the little girl I once knew
She's not the little girl I once knew
She's not the little girl I once knew
She's not the little girl I once knew

She's not the little girl I once knew
She's not the little girl I once knew
She's not the little girl I once knew
She's not the little girl I once knew
...
