The Delfonics Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.La-La Means I Love You

Lyricist:Thomas Bell, William Alexander Hart

Many guys have come to you
With a line that wasn't true
And you passed them by
(Passed them by)
Now you're in the center ring
And their lines don't mean a thing
Why don't you let me try
(Let me try)

Now I don't wear a diamond ring
I don't even have a song to sing
All I know is

La la la la la la la la la means
I love you
Oh, baby please now
La la la la la la la la la means
I love you

If I ever saw a girl
That I needed in this world
You are the one for me
(One for me)
Let me hold me in my arms
Girl, and thrill you with my charms
I'm sure you will see
(You will see)

The things I am sayin' are true
And the way I explain them to you
Listen to me

La la la la la la la la la means
I love you
Oh, baby baby
La la la la la la la la la means
I love you

The things I am sayin' are true
And the way I explain them to you, yes to you
Listen to me

La la la la la la la la la means
I love you
Oh, you'll have to understand now
La la la la la la la la la means
I love you
Come on and take my hand
La la la la la la la la la means


2.Trying to Make a Fool of Me

Lyricist:Thom Bell, William Hart

We've been together for so long
Listen baby, I'm gonna love you right or wrong, hey
Don't fence me out 'cause I love you so
And I never want, want to let you go

But you keep trying to make a fool of me
Trying to make a fool of me, trying to make a fool of me
Trying to make a fool of me

Listen baby, you think that you are having fun, hey

Sooner or later going to let me go

And you keep trying to make a fool of me
Trying to make a fool of me, trying to make a fool of me
Trying to make a fool of me
You keep trying, trying, trying, trying, trying, trying, oh yeah

Somehow I know, when you hurt me so
Sooner or later going to let me go

And you keep trying to make a fool of me
Trying to make a fool of me, trying to make a fool of me

Trying to make a fool of me, trying to make a fool of me
Trying to make a fool of me, trying to make a fool of me

Lyricist:William Hart

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

It's possible, my love, I could be wrong
And it's possible that the things I'll do take long
Like always being late and always breaking our date
You can't even concentrate and I don't want to make you wait

I don't want to make you wait
I don't want to make you wait

And it's possible, I could slow down and see
It's possible that love you will give to me
Is real, listen but still, I'm always doing you wrong
And you just tag along, gee, you must be strong

I don't want to make you wait
I don't want to make you wait

I said I'm always doing you wrong
And you just tag along
Gee, you must be strong
And I don't wanna do you wrong

I don't want to make you wait
I don't want to make you wait
I don't want to make you wait
I don't want to make you wait
I don't want to make you wait


10.Have You Seen Her

Lyricist:Barbara Acklin, Eugene Record

One month ago today, I was happy as a lark
But now I go for walks, to the movies, maybe to the park
I have a seat on the some old bench, to watch the children play
(Huh)
You know tomorrow is their future, but for me, just another day

They all gather round me, they seem to know my name
(Ha)
We laugh tell a few jokes but it still doesn't ease my pain
I know I can't hide from a memory, though day after day I've
tried
I keep sayin' she'll be back, but today again I write

Oh, I see her face every where I go
On the street and even at the picture show
Have you seen her? Tell me have you seen her?
Oh, I hear her voice as cold winds blow
In the sweet music on my radio
Have you seen her? Tell me have you seen Her?

Why, oh, why, did you have to leave and go away
Oh, I've been used to havin' someone to lean on
And I'm lost, baby, I'm lost

Oh, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum
Have you seen her? Tell me have you seen Her?
Oh, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum
Have you seen her? Tell me have you seen Her?

Oh, she left her kiss upon my lips but left a break within my
heart
Have you seen her? Tell me have you seen Her?
Oh, I see her hand reaching out to me
Only she can set me free
Have you seen her? Tell me have you seen Her?

Why, oh, why, did you have to leave and go away
(Oh yeah)
Oh, I've been used to havin' someone to lean on
And I'm lost, baby, I'm lost

Oh, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum
Have you seen her? Tell me have you seen Her?
Oh, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum
Have you seen her? Tell me have you seen Her?

As another day comes to an end
I'm' lookin for a letter or somethin'
But anything that she would send, with all the people I know
(Huh)
I'm still a lonely man, you know it's funny
I thought I had her in the palm of my hand

Have you seen her? Tell me have you seen Her?
Oh, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum
Have you seen her? Tell me have you seen Her?
Oh, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum
Have you seen her? Tell me have you seen Her


11.Tell Me This Is A Dream

You're the same old girl
That lived across the street
And you're the same old girl, yeah

And you know if I found out
It's gonna hurt me so

And it hurts me so bad
Whoa, oh, oh, yeah

Tell me this is a dream
Somebody, please
Tell me this is a dream
Somebody, please
Tell me this is a dream

And I remember

Not wanting you to realize
That you're in love with someone else

Whoa, oh, oh, yeah

Tell me this is a dream
Somebody
Tell me this is a dream

I tried over and over again
I tried over and over and over again

Your friends all say
That I intend to break your heart
But why can't you see that
They'd be glad to see us part

Do you understand, understand?
I tried over and over again
I tried over and over again
I tried over and over and over again

Understand, understand
