The Diamonds Best Of-Mercury Years Lyrics
1.High Sign

Lyricist:Carl Stevens, George Stone

Give me the high, high sign
Give me the high, high sign
Give me the high, high sign
Come on and lay it on the line
With the high, high sign

Give me the high sign, baby
As I stroll around
Give me the high sign, baby
And we'll bop around
Just raise your hand up
And give me one high sign

Give me the high, high sign
Give me the high, high sign
Come on and lay it on the line
With the high, high sign

Give me the high, high sign
Give me the high, high sign
Come on and lay it on the line
With the high, high sign

Now make a high sign, baby
To show me that you care
Raise your hand on high, high up the air
When I touch your fingers
Don't you be no square

Give me the high, high sign
Give me the high, high sign
Come on and lay it on the line
With the high, high sign

Give me the high, high sign
Give me one high sign
Come on and lay it on the line
With the high, high sign


2.Ka-ding-dong

Oh, well I met a little girl about a week ago
And I felt that I oughta let her know
Since then my heart has broke the string
It goes ding-dong, ding-dong, da-ding-dong, ding-dong-ding

My heart goes ding-dong-ding when I'm near you
It goes ding-dong-ding 'cause I want you
It goes ding-dong-ding 'cause I need you
It goes ding-dong

ding-dong

Well, you know I love you, love you. little girl
And if you'll only kiss me it will give me the world
All around my heart where the feeling is
Because ding-dong, ding-dong, da-ding-dong, ding-dong-ding

My heart goes ding-dong-ding 'cause I want you
It goes ding-dong-ding 'cause I need you
It goes ding-dong-ding 'cause I want you
It goes ding-dong

ding-dong

{instrumental break}

Now, don't be afraid of me, little girl
'cause I love you more than the whole wide world
You know I wouldn't harm a pretty, beautiful thing
Because-a-ding-dong, ding-dong, da-ding-dong, ding-dong-ding

My heart goes ding-dong-ding when I'm near you
It goes ding-dong-ding 'cause I want you
It goes ding-dong-ding 'cause I need you
It goes ding-dong

(SPOKEN: 'Try it again') ding-dong

(SPOKEN: 'one more time')

ding-dong, ding-dong, da-ding-dong, ding-dong-ding
(SPOKEN: Hey!)


3.Silhouettes

ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, hut-hut
ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, hut-hut

Took a walk and passed your house (late last night)
All the shades were pulled and drawn (way down tight)
From within, a dim light cast two silhouettes on the shade
Oh, what a lovely couple they ma-ade

Put his arms around your waist (held you tight)
Kisses I could almost taste (in the night)
Wonder why I'm not the guy *whose silhouette's* on the shade
I couldn't hide the tears in my eye-eyes

Silhouettes (silhouettes) silhouettes (silhouettes) silhouettes
(silhouettes)
ty-oh, oh-oh
Silhouettes (silhouettes) silhouettes (silhouettes) silhouettes
(silhouettes),
ty-oh, oh-oh

Lost control and rang your bell (I was sore)
Let me in or else I'll beat (down your door)
When two strangers who had been two silhouettes on the shade
Said to my shock 'you're on the wrong blo-ock'

Rushed down to your house with wings (on my feet)
Loved you like I never loved (you my sweet)
Vowed that you and I would be two silhouettes on the shade
All of our days, two silhouettes on the sha-ade

Silhouettes (silhouettes) silhouettes (silhouettes) silhouettes
(silhouettes)
ty-oh, oh-oh
Silhouettes (silhouettes) silhouettes (silhouettes) silhouettes
(silhouettes),
ty-oh, oh-oh

Two silhouettes on the shade
Silhouettes!
