The Four Seasons Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Alone

Alone
The Four Seasons

Alone, why must I be alone
I've spent so many hours with you
How can I be alone

Alone, why must I dream alone
Our dreams where made for us to share
How can I dream alone

There's such a thing as forgiving
So why can't you forgive
There's such a thing as forgetting
Can't you forgive and forget

Apart, why must we be apart
Let's put our hearts together
And never be alone

There's such a thing as forgiving
So why can't you forgive
There's such a thing as forgetting
Can't you forgive and forget

Apart, why must we be apart
Let's put our hearts together
And never be alone


2.Beggin'

Beggin'
The Four Seasons
Written by Gaudio / Farina

Ooh, put your lovin' hand out baby
I'm beggin'.........

Beggin', put your lovin' hand out baby
Beggin' you, put your lovin' hand out baby

Ridin' high, when I was king.
Played it hard and fast cos' I had everything
You walked away, won me then
But easy come and easy go and it would end

I'm beggin' you, won't you put your hand out baby,
I'm beggin' you, put your lovin' hand out baby

I need you to understand,
That I tried so hard to be your man,
The kinda man you want in the end,
Only then can I begin to live again.
An empty shell / used - to -be / shadow of my life
Is hangin' over me
Broken man, without a throne
Won't even stand the devil's dance to win my soul

I'm beggin' you, put your lovin' hand out baby,
Beggin' you, put your lovin' hand out baby

I'm fightin' hard to hold my own
But I just can't make it on my own
I'm holdin' on, I can't fall back
Now that big brass ring is a shade of black.

I'm beggin' you, put your lovin hand out baby,
Beggin' you, put your lovin' hand out baby.

3.Big Man In Town

Big Man In Town
The Four Seasons
(Bob Gaudio)

Big man in town

Each day as I grow older
The nights are getting colder
Some day the sun will shine on me

Money, I don't have any
I'm down to my last penny
But darlin' don't cry over me

Chorus:
I'll be a big man in town, honest honey
I'll be a big man in town, promise darlin'
I'll be a big man in town, just you wait and see
You'll be proud of me

Big man in town

They think that I'm a rover
But my rovin' days are over
Some day your folks will welcome me
I went away a small man
But I'll come home a tall man
Then what a pretty bride you'll be


Coda:

(Big man in town)

I'm gonna make it, just wait and see
Oh, I'm gonna make it, just wait and see
Girl I'm gonna make it, just wait and see


4.Bye, Bye, Baby (baby Goodbye)

Bye, Bye, Baby (Baby Goodbye)
The 4 Seasons

(Spoken) If you hate me after what I say
Can't put it off any longer
I just gotta tell you anyway

(Sung)
Bye Bye Baby Goodbye
Bye Bye Baby don't make me cry

Your the one girl in town I'd marry
Girl I'd marry you now if I were free
I wish it could be
I could love you but why begin it
Cause there ain't any future in it
She's got me and I'm not free
So Bye Bye Baby Baby Goodbye
Bye Bye Baby don't make me cry

Guess I will never know you better
Wish I knew you before I met her
Gee how good you would be for me
Should have told you that I can't linger
There's a weddin' ring on my finger
She's got me and I'm not free
So Bye Bye Baby Baby Goodbye
Bye Bye Baby don't make me cry

DAWN
FOUR SEASONS

Pretty as a midsummer's morn,
They call her Dawn.

Dawn,
Go away I'm no good for you.
Oh Dawn,
Stay with him, he'll be good to you.
Hang on,
Hang on to you.
Think,
What a big man he'll be.
Think,
Of the places you'll see.
Now think what the future would be with a poor boy like me.
Dawn go away,
Please go away.
Although I know,
I want you to stay.
Dawn go away,
Please go away.
Baby, don't cry.
It's better this way.
Ahh, ahh, ah.
Ohh-ohh-oh.

Dawn,
Go away back where you belong.
Girl we can't,
Change the places where we were born.
Before you say,
That you want me.
I want you to think,
What your family would say.
Think,
What your throwing away.
Now think what the future would be with a poor boy like me.
Meee-ee.

Dawn,
Go away I'm no good for you.
Dawn,
Go away I'm no good for you.


8.December, 1963 (oh, What A Night)

DECEMBER 1963 (OH WHAT A NIGHT)
- The Four Seasons (featuring Frankie Valli)
- transcribed by Randy Goldberg

Oh, what a night, late December back in '63
What a very special time for me
As I remember what a night!

Oh what a night,
You know I didn't even know her name
But I was never gonna be the same
What a lady, what a night!

Oh, I got a funny feeling when she walked in the room
And I, as I recall it ended much too soon

Oh what a night,
Hypnotizing, mesmerizing me
She was everything I dreamed she'd be
Sweet surrender, what a night!

I felt a rush like a rolling bolt of thunder
Straining my head around and taking my body under

(Oh what a night!)

Oh, I got a funny feeling when she walked in the room
And I, as I recall it ended much too soon

Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit
Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit
Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit
Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit

Oh what a night,
Why'd it take so long to see the light?
Seemed so wrong, but now it seems so right
What a lady, what a night!

I felt a rush like a rolling bolt of thunder
Straining my head around and taking my body under

(Oh what a night!)

I felt a rush like a rolling bolt of thunder
Straining my head around and taking my body under
Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit
Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit
Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit
Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit

10.I've Got You Under My Skin

I've Got You Under My Skin
Stan Freberg
Writer:Porter

I've got you under my skin
I've got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart, that you're really a part of me
I've got you under my skin

I've tried so not to give in
I've said to myself this affair never will go so well
But why should I try to resist, when baby will I know so well
That I've got you under my skin

I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear

Don't you know you fool, you never can win
Use your mentality, wake up to reality
But each time I do, just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin


11.Let's Hang On

Let's Hang On!
Frankie Valli And the Four Seasons

There ain't no good in our goodbye-in'
True love takes a lot of tryin'
Oh, I'm cryin'

Let's hang on to what we got
Don't let go girl, we got a lot
Got a lot of love between us
Hang on, hang on, hang on

You say you're gonna go and call it quits
Gonna chuck it all and break our love to bits
(Breakin' up) I wish you never said it
(Breakin' up) No, no, we'll both regret it
That little chip 'o diamond on your hand
Ain't a fortune, baby, but you know it stands
(For your love) A love to try and bind us
(Such a love) We just can't leave behind us
Baby (don't you go) Baby (oh no no)
Baby (think it over and stay)

There isn't anything I wouldn't do
I'd go to any price to get in good with you
(Patch it up) Give me a second turn
(Patch it up) Don't cool off while I'm burnin'
You got me cryin', dyin' at your door
Don't shut me out, open your arms for
(Open up) Your arms I need to hold
(Open up) Your heart, oh girl, I told you
Baby (don't you go) Baby (oh no no)
Baby (think it over and stay)

OPUS 17 (DON'T YOU WORRY 'BOUT ME)
FOUR SEASONS

I can see,
There ain't no room for me.
You're only holdin' up your heart in sympathy.
If there's another man,
Then girl I understand.
Go on and take his hand,
And don't you worry 'bout me.
I'll be blue,
And I'll be cryin' too.
But girl you know I only want what's best for you.
What good is all my pride,
If our true love has died.
Go on and be his bride,
And don't you worry 'bout me.

I'll be strong,
I'll try to carry on.
Although you know it won't be easy when your gone.
I'll always think of you,
The tender love we knew.
But somehow I'll get through,
So don't you worry 'bout me.
Ooo-oo,
Baby.
Sweetie pie,
Before you say goodbye.
Remember if he ever leaves you high and dry.
Don't cry alone in pain,
Don't ever feel ashamed.
If you want me again,
Just don't you worry 'bout me.
I love you,
No matter what you do.
I'll spend my whole life waitin' if you want me too.
And if this is goodbye,
You know I'd rather die.
Than let you see me cry,
'Cause then you'd worry 'bout me.

I'll be strong,
I'll try to carry on.
Although you know it won't be easy when your gone.
I'll always think of you,
The tender love we knew.
But somehow I'll get through,
So don't you worry 'bout me.
I'll be strong,
I'll try to carry on.
Although you know it won't be easy when your gone.
I'll always think of you,
The tender love we knew.
But somehow I'll get through,
So don't you worry 'bout me.

Ahh, ah-ah-ah-ahh (Rag doll, ooh)
Ooh-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh

(Hand-me-down) When she was just a kid her clothes were

town
Called her rag doll, little rag doll
Such a pretty face should be dressed in lace

Ooh, oo-oo-oo-ooh (Ooh-oo-ooh)
Ooh-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh

(Sad rag doll) I'd change her sad rags into glad rags if I could

Soon you'll be cryin' on account of all your lyin'
Oh yeah, just look who's laughin' now

Walk like a man from you
I'll tell the world 'forget about it, girl'

18.Watch The Flowers Grow

Watch The Flowers Grow
The Four Seasons
Written by Brown / Bloodworth

Did you ever see a flower grow?
If you did then you would surely know
Love is like the flowers,
Takes a lot of hours
If you really want to know,
Watch the flowers grow.

Listen to my thoughts and take a ride,
I shall give you all you've been denied
First you gotta slow down,
Listen to my sweet sound
If you really want to know,
Watch the flowers grow.

Over the mountain there's a sweet meadow
A breeze is blowin', so take my hand and we can
Watch the flowers grow

Let me take you where the flowers grow
Let me be the one who told you so
I'll love you forever,
I will leave you never
Baby let's go,
Watch the flowers grow.

20.Working My Way Back To You

Working My Way Back To You
Frankie Valli And the Four Seasons

Working my way back to you, babe
With a burnin' love inside
Yeah, I'm workin' my way back to you, babe
And the happiness that died
I let it get away
Been payin' every day

When you were so in love with me
I played around like I was free
Thought I could have my cake and eat it too
But how I cried over losin' you
See me cryin' now, but I ain't about to go
Livin' my life without you
For every day I made you cry
I'm payin', girl, 'til the day that I die

I used to love to make you cry
It made me feel like a man inside
But if I'd been a man in reality
You'd still be here, babe, lovin' me
Now the nights are long and lonely
And I ain't through strugglin', I just miss you so
And you're too proud you won't give in
But when I think about all I can win

Working my way back to you, babe
With a burnin' love inside
Yeah, I'm workin' my way back to you, babe
And the happiness that died, oh how I cried


21.December '63 (Oh What A Night)

Oh, what a night, late December back in '63
What a very special time for me
As I remember what a night!

Oh, what a night!
You know I didn't even know her name
But I was never gonna be the same
What a lady, what a night!

Oh, I got a funny feeling when she walked in the room
And I, as I recall it ended much too soon

Oh, what a night!
Hypnotizing, mesmerizing me
She was everything I dreamed she'd be
Sweet surrender, what a night!

I felt a rush like a rolling bolt of thunder
Spinnin' my head around and taking my body under

Oh, what a night!

Why'd it take so long to see the light?
Seemed so wrong, but now it seems so right
What a lady, what a night!

Oh, I got a funny feeling when she walked in the room
And I, as I recall it ended much too soon

Oh, what a night!
Hypnotizing, mesmerizing me
She was everything I dreamed she'd be
Sweet surrender, what a night!

I felt a rush like a rolling bolt of thunder
Spinnin' my head around and taking my body under
Oh, what a night!
(Oh, what a night!)
Oh, what a night!
(Oh, what a night!)
Oh, what a night!
(Oh, what a night!)

23.My Mothers Eyes

Lyricist:Abel Baer, L W Gilbert

Back in childhood days
I can remember loving caresses, showered on me
Mother's eyes would gaze at me so tender
What was their meaning? Now I can see

One bright and guiding light
That taught me wrong from right
I found in my mother's eyes
Those baby tales, she told
That road all paved in gold
I found in my mother's eyes

Just like a wandering sparrow
One lonely soul
I walked the straight and narrow
To reach my goal

God's gift sent from above
A real unselfish love
I found in my mother's eyes

When I'm all alone, no one around me
I find the future, dark as can be
Sorrows, I have known, always surround me
Then through the shadows, I always see

One bright and guiding light
That taught me wrong from right
I found in my mother's eyes
Those baby tales she told
That road all paved in gold
I found in my mother's eyes

Just like a wandering sparrow
One lonely soul
I walked the straight and narrow
To reach my goal

God's gift sent from above
A real unselfish love
I found in my mother's eyes


24.Lucky Ladybug

Lyricist:Crewe Bob, Slay Frank C Jr

Lucky ladybug, lucky ladybug, lucky ladybug

Ladybug, silver dollar, rabbit's foot
With a four leaf clover and a horseshoe
Wishbone, shamrocks, got me shook
Singin' abracadabra in a cat's eye

I wonder, wonder if you love me
Guess I'll ask the stars above me
When the moon is bright canary yellow
It'll really be amazin', if that crystal ball a-gazin'
Says I'll always be your steady fellow

Ladybug, silver dollar, rabbit's foot
With a four leaf clover and a horseshoe
Wishbone, shamrocks, got me shook
Singin' abracadabra in a cat's eye

Though your words are smooth and soothin'
Don't you feel it's time for movin'
C'mon daddy, rock me while the planet's rollin'
Keep it cool my ducky wucky

Baby doll our love is lucky
When you walk me down the aisle
We'll do it strollin'

Stupid cupid gave us fever
And an itchy twitchy feelin'
And the green mosquito must've bit us
Got a sloppin' like two robins
Makin' moon talk and bobbin'
Like a firefly splishin and a splashin'

Ladybug, silver dollar, rabbit's foot
With a four leaf clover and a horseshoe
Wishbone, shamrocks, got me shook
Singin' 'Abracadabra' in a cat's eye
Lucky ladybug


25.Don't Think Twice, It's All Right

Lyricist:Bob Dylan

Ain't no use to sit
And wonder why, babe
It don't matter anyhow
Oh, it ain't no use to sit
And wonder why, babe
If you don't know by now

When the rooster crows
At the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason that I'm traveling on
Don't think twice it's alright

Ain't no use
In turning on your light, babe
The light I've never known
Ain't no use
In turning on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road

Still I wish there was something
You would do to try and make me
Change my mind and stay
We never did too much talking anyway
Don't think twice it's alright

I'm walking down
The long and lonesome road, babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
Goodbye's too good a word to say, girl
So I'll just say fare thee well

I ain't saying you've treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don't mind
You just kind of wasted my precious time
Don't think twice it's alright
