Do You Believe

The Lovin' Spoonful Do You Believe Lyrics
1.Other Side Of This Life

OTHER SIDE OF THIS LIFE

Would you like to know a secret
Just between you and me
I don't know where I'm goin' next
Don't know where I'm gonna be

Chours:
And there's an other side to this life
I've been livin'
And there's an other side to this life


Maybe I'll go to Nashville
Way down to Tennesse
This ten cent life I been livin' in the city
Ain't worth a dime to me

Chours:


Chours:


The whole world's in an uproar
My own world's upsidre down
I don't know where I'm goin' next
Maybe just keep bummin' 'round

And there's an other side to this life
I've been livin'
And there's an other side to this life
And there's an other side to this life
I've been livin'
And there's an other side to this life


1.Did You Ever Have To Make Up Your Mind?

Did you ever have to make up your mind
Pick up on one and leave the other behind
It's not often easy and not often kind
Did you ever have to make up your mind

Did you ever have to finally decide
Say yes to one and let the other one ride
There's so many changes and tears you must hide
Did you ever have to finally decide

Sometimes there's one with big blue eyes, cute as a bunny
With hair down to here, and plenty of money
And just when you think she's that one in the world
You heart gets stolen by some mousey little girl

And then you know you'd better make up your mind...

Sometimes you really dig a girl the moment you kiss her
And then you get distracted by her older sister
When in walks her father and takes you a line
And says, 'You better go home, son, and make up your mind'

And then you bet you'd better finally decide...


2.Younger Girl

She's one of those girls who seems to come in the Spring
One look in her eyes and you forget everything
You had ready to say
And I saw her today, yeah...

A younger girl keeps a-rollin' 'cross my mind
No matter how much I try, I can't seem to leave her memory
behind
I remember her eyes, soft dark and brown
Said she'd never been in trouble, or even in town
A younger girl keeps a-rollin' 'cross my mind

And should I hang around, acting like her brother
In a few more years, they'd call us right for each other
And why
If I wait I'll just die, yeah...


3.On The Road Again

I woke up this mornin', looked around my four walls
And a dream told me you ain't happy at all
I packed up my bags, I took my last look and then
Look out, pretty mom, I'm on the road again

I'm on the road again
(Just as sure as you're born)
I'm on the road again
(Just as sure as you're born)
Look out, pretty mom, I'm on the road again

I ran home last night to get my dinner hot
I pulled on my door and found the door was locked
I jumped through the window and believe it or not
She had not even put my dinner in the pot

I've never been evil and I've never been sly
But if I sit some place and let the time roll by
I start to get restless, pack my bags up and then
Look out pretty mom, I'm on the road again

7.Sportin' Life

I'm gettin' tired of runnin' round
Believe I'll get married and settle down
Cause this old night life
This mean old sportin' life
You know it's killing me

I got a letter from my home
Most of my good friends
They are dead and gone
You know it makes me worry
And it makes me wonder
About the times to come

Mother used to fall on her knees and pray
These are the very words she did say
She said 'Oh Johnny, my lovin' Johnny...
Won't you please change your ways'

I been a gambler and a cheater too
Now it's come my time to lose
Cause this old sportin' life
You know she's holdinÂ' the best hand
And what can I do...

Cause I'm gettin' tired of runnin' round
Believe I'll get married and settle down
Cause this old night life
It's a bad life
And it's killing me


8.My Gal

Well, a rich gal will drink good pineapple juice
And a poor gal will do quite the same.
Yeah, but my gal she drinkin' old shoe polish
You know she'd get drunk just the same

I will be there in the mornin' if I live
I will be there in the mornin'
If I don't get killed
Yes and, if I never no more
See you again, I simply
Sure do remember me

Well, a rich gal loves to party, she loves to carry on
And a poor gal will'do quite the same
Yeah, but my gal is satistfied just to be with me
You know she loves me just the same

Now a rich gal will kick you. She'll bop you with a stick
And a poor gal would do quite the same.
Heh, but my gal ll get rusty razors and run you all over town
You know she'll catch up with you just the same

I will be there in the mornin' if I live
I will be there in the mornin'
If I don't get killed
Yes and, if I never no more
See you again I simply
Sure do remember me

Well, and if I never no more
See you again I simply
Sure do remember me


9.Fishin' Blues

Went up on the hill about twelve o'clock.
Reached right back and got me a pole.
Went to the hardware and got me a hook.
Attached that line right on that hook.
Says you've been a-fishin' all the time.
I'm a-goin' fishin' too.

I bet your life, your lovin'wife.
Can catch more fish than you.
Any fish bite if you've got good bait.
Here's a little somethin' I would like to relate.
Any fish bite, you've got good bait.
I'm a-goin' a-fishin', yes, I'm a-goin' a-fishin',
I'm a-goin' a-fishin' too.

Looked down the river about one o'clock.
Spied this catfish swimmin' around.
I've got so hungry, didn't know what to do.
I'm gonna get me a catfish too.

Yes, you've been fishin' all the time.
I'm a-goin' a-fishin' too.
I bet your life your lovin' wife.
Catch more fish than you.
Any fish bite, got good bait.
Here's a little somethin' I would like to relate.
Any fish bite, you've got good bait.
I'm a-goin' a-fishin', yes, I'm goin' a-fishin',
I'm a-goin' a-fishin' too.

Put on your skillet, don't never mind your lead.
Mama gonna cook 'em with the short'nin' bread.
Says you been fishin' all the time.
I'm a-goin a-fishin' too.
I bet your life, your lovin' wife.
Can catch more fish than you.
Any fish bite, if you've got good bait.
Here's a little somethin' I would like to relate.
Any fish bite, you've got good bait.
I'm a-goin' a-fishin', yes, I'm goin' a-fishin',
I'm a-goin' a-fishin' too. FISHING BLUES


10.Wild About My Lovin'

Well now, listen here people
I'm about to sing a song
I'm goin' to Saint Louis
And I won't be long
Cause I'm wild about my lovin'
I like to have my fun
If you want to be a girl of mine
You got to bring it with you
When you come

Well now, Sergeant Jones - Chief of Police
The women round here
Won't let me see no peace
Cause I'm wild about my lovin'
I like to have my fun
If you want to be a girl of mine
You got to bring it with you
When you come

Hello Central, what's the matter with your line?
I wann talk to that
high-brow friend of mine
You hear me talkin' to you
I don't bite my tongue
If you wanna be a girl of mine
You got to bring it with you
When you come


11.Other Side Of This Life

Would you like to know a secret
Just between you and me?
I don't know where I'm going next
Don't know where I'm gonna be

And there's another side to this life I've been living
And there's another side to this life

Maybe I'll go to Nashville
Way down to Tennessee
This ten-cent life I've been living in the city
Ain't worth a dime for me

And there's...

The whole world's in an uproar
My own world's upside down
I don't know where I'm going next
Maybe just keep on bummin' round

And there's...


12.Do You Believe In Magic

Do you believe in magic in a young girl's heart
How the music can free her, whenever it starts
And it's magic, if the music is groovy
It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie
I'll tell you about the magic, and it'll free your soul
But it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock and roll

If you believe in magic don't bother to choose
If it's jug band music or rhythm and blues
Just go and listen it'll start with a smile
It won't wipe off your face no matter how hard you try
Your feet start tapping and you can't seem to find
How you got there, so just blow your mind

If you believe in magic, come along with me
We'll dance until morning 'til there's just you and me
And maybe, if the music is right
I'll meet you tomorrow, sort of late at night
And we'll go dancing, baby, then you'll see
How the magic's in the music and the music's in me

Yeah, do you believe in magic
Yeah, believe in the magic of a young girl's soul
Believe in the magic of rock and roll
Believe in the magic that can set you free
Ohh, talking 'bout magic

Do you believe like I believe Do you believe in magic
Do you believe like I believe Do you believe, believer
Do you believe like I believe Do you believe in magic


13.You Baby

You know I've been wanting you my whole life through
And now that I'm your guy I'm gonna live and die for only
You, baby, baby, now you're gonna know
All the ways I've planned to thrill you so
Till you're gonna see I save all the love in me just for

You, baby, you, baby, you, baby
Only You, whoa, only
