The Nat King Cole Trio Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.How Does It Feel

Lyricist:Roy Alfred, Marvin Fisher

How does it feel
When you find that your dreams are through?
How does it feel
When you know that the laugh's on you?

Thought you were smart breaking my heart
When you took that exit bow
Someone you met has made you regret
So who's the smarty now?

Say, how does it feel
When you find that your big romance
Wasn't so real
It was only a song and a dance?

Maybe it's fun to kiss and then run
And hurt somebody too
But how does it feel
Now that it's happened to you?

Maybe it's fun to kiss and then run
And hurt somebody too
But how does it feel
Now that it's happened to you?


2.Exactly Like You

Lyricist:Dorothy Fields, Jimmy Mchugh

I know why I've waited, know why I've been blue
Prayed each night for someone exactly like you
Why should we spend money on a show or two
No one does those love scenes exactly like you

You make me feel so grand
I'd like to hand the world to you
You seem to understand
Each foolish little scheme I'm scheming
And the dream I'm dreaming

Now I know why my mother taught me to be true
She meant me for someone exactly like you

You make me feel so grand
I want to hand the world to you
You seem to understand
Each foolish little scheme that I'm scheming
And the dream that I'm dreaming

Now I know why my mother, she taught me to be true
She meant me for someone exactly like you


3.Bop Kick

Lyricist:Nat King Cole

Bop-Kick

4.Don't Cry, Cry Baby

Lyricist:Saul Bernie, James P. Johnson, Stella Unger

Don't cry, cry baby
You've got no reason to cry
Don't cry, cry baby
I never told you a lie

Someone said we were through
And you believed it could be
Someone was teasing you
'Cause nobody heard it from me

I ought to spank you, cry baby
For even having such fears
But let me thank you, cry baby
For feeling I'm worth all your tears

I don't mean maybe
When I say I'll always be true
So don't cry, cry baby
'Cause I love nobody but you

I don't mean maybe
When I say I'll always be true
So don't cry, cry baby
'Cause I love nobody but you


5.Candy

Lyricist:Mack David, Alex C. Kramer, Joan Whitney

Some say that love is sweet as a rose
Some say it's honey and the bee
Well, sit right down and let me tell you
What my love is to me

Candy, I call my sugar, Candy
Because I'm sweet on Candy
And Candy is sweet on me

She understands me
My understanding Candy
And Candy's always handy
When I need sympathy

I wish that there were four of her
So I could love much more of her
She has taken my complete heart
Got a sweet tooth for my sweetheart

Candy, it's gonna be just dandy
The day I take my Candy
And make her mine all mine, mine


6.Sweet Lorraine

Lyricist:Cliff Burwell, Mitchell Parish

Now, I just found joy
I'm as happy as a baby boy, baby boy
With another brand new choo-choo choy
When I met my sweet Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine

A pair of eyes
That are brighter than the summer sky
When you see them, you'll realize
Why I love my sweet Lorraine

Now, when it's rainin' I don't miss the sun
Because it's in my baby's smile, whoa ho
And to think that I'm the lucky one
That will lead her down the aisle, whoa ho ho

Each night I pray
That no one will steal her heart away
I can't wait until that lucky day
When I marry sweet Lorraine

Now, when it's rainin' I don't miss the sun
Because it's in my baby's smile, whoa ho
And to think that I'm the lucky one
That will lead her down the aisle, whoa ho ho

Each night I pray
That no one will steal her heart away
I can't wait until that lucky day
When I marry sweet Lorraine


7.Dream A Little Dream Of Me

Lyricist:Fabian Andre, Gus Kahn, Wilbur Schwandt

Stars shining bright above you
Night breeze seem to whisper, 'I love you'
Birds singin' in the sycamore trees
Dream a little of me

Say nighty-night and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longin' to linger till dawn, dear
Just saying this

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longin' to linger till dawn, dear
Just saying this

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
Dream a little dream of me


8.Blues In My Shower

Lyricist:Nat King Cole

Baby's good to me, you know
She's happy as can be, you know
She said so
I'm in love with her and I feel fine

Baby says she's mine, you know
She tells me all the time, you know
She said so
I'm in love with her and I feel fine

I'm so glad that she's my little girl
She's so glad, she's telling all the world
That her baby buys her things, you know
He buys her diamond rings, you know
She said so
She's in love with me and I feel fine

Baby says she's mine, you know
She tells me all the time, you know
She said so
I'm in love with her and I feel fine

I'm so glad that she's my little girl
She's so glad, she's telling all the world
That her baby buys her things, you know
He buys her diamond rings, you know
She said so
She's in love with me and I feel fine


9.(I Call My Papa) Fla-Ga-La

Lyricist:Roy Alfred, Doris Fisher, Allan Roberts

I come back, come back
You see my return
My returning face is smiling
Smile of a waiting man

I be home soon, soon, soon
Soon cry on your shoulder
Your shoulder against my burning tears
Tears of a waiting man

One, two, three, four
One, two, three, I wait every moment
I wait, wait for my chance
I wait for my friend to say
Hello, you waiting man

Feel no fret, feel no fret, feel no fret
You can wait and feel no fret
And so I wait, so I wait, so I wait, so I wait
I return face is smiling

Be home soon cry on your shoulder
Tears of a waiting man
Every moment wait for my chance
My friend say hello, feel no fret
You can wait and I wait
And I wait and home I am


10.Barcarolle

Talk, it's only talk
Arguments, agreements
Advice, answers
Articulate announcements
It's only talk

Talk, it's only talk
Babble, burble, banter
Bicker, bicker, bicker
Brouhaha, boulder dash, ballyhoo
It's only talk, back talk

Talk, talk, talk, it's only talk
Comments, cliches, commentary, controversy
Chatter, chit-chat, chit-chat, chit-chat
Conversation, contradiction, criticism
It's only talk, cheap talk

Talk, talk, it's only talk
Debates, discussions
These are words with a D this time
Dialogue, dialogue, diatribe
Distension, declamation
Double talk, double talk

Talk, talk, it's all talk
Too much talk, small talk, talk that trash
Expressions, editorials, expugnations
Exclamations, enfadulations, it's all talk
Elephant talk, elephant talk, elephant talk


11.I'll Never Say 'Never Again' Again

I'll never say never again, again
'Cause see, I'm in love again
Head over heels in love again
With you

I'll never say never kiss you again
'Cause see, I'm kissing you again
That's just the thing, I'd say it
I'd never do

I walked away and said goodbye
I was hasty, wasn't I?
I missed you so I thought I'd die
But it's all over now, throw my hat in the sky

I'll never say never again, again
'Cause see, I am in love again
Head over heels in love again
With the same sweet you

Oh, never be in a rush to say goodbye
You may regret it, by and by

Why did we ever fall?
Say goodbye to love?
Must have been insane
What was I thinking of?

Here we are back together
Happier than before
All I can do is promise
For evermore

I'll never say never, never again
Here I am in love again
Head over heels, I'm in love again
With you

Never say never kiss you, never again
Here I am kissing you again
That's just the thing I'd say
That I'd never do

I walked away and said goodbye
I was hasty, wasn't I?
I missed you, so I thought I'd die
But it's all over now, throw my hat in the sky

I'll never say never again, again
'Cause see, I am in love again
Head over heels in love again
With the same sweet you


12.(Everyone Has Someone) But All I've Got Is Me

I should have known better with a girl like you
That I would love everything that you do and I do
Hey, hey, hey and I do

Whoa, oh, I never realized what a kiss could be
This could only happen to me
Can't you see, can't you see?

That when I tell you that I love you, oh
You're gonna say you love me too
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, oh

And when I ask you to be mine
You're gonna say you love me too
You love me too, you love me too


13.I Miss You So

If I fell in love with you
Would you promise to be true
And help me understand?
'Cause I've been in love before
And I found that love was more
Than just holding hands

If I give my heart to you
I must be sure
From the very start
That you would love me more than her

If I trust in you oh, please
Don't run and hide
If I love you too oh, please
Don't hurt my pride like her

'Cause I couldn't stand the pain
And I would be sad if our new love was in vain

So I hope you see that
I would love to love you
And that she will cry
When she learns we are two
If I fell in love with you


14.Lester Leaps In

Disconnected, solitary, standing all alone
Complicated, arbitrary, my feeling's still don't feel myÂ
own
Now you've changed your mind, You reach out once again
But how am I to tell you, I'm not who I was, backÂ
then

That was another life, simply another life
And baby it's all gone, don't you see the past is past
That some things just aren't made to last
No point in holding on to another life

Desolated, disbelieving I watched you walk away
You made your mind up, you didn't need me
No words could ever make you want to stay

Now I hear you tell me my heart's as hard as steel
But I would never hurt you just to show you how, itÂ
feels

That was another life, simply another life
And baby it's all gone, don't you see the past is past
And some things just aren't made to last
No point in holding on to another life

(Close your eyes)Â
Close your eyes, let it rest
Tell me you will be okay
You've got to look ahead
It's for the best, let me slip away

That was another life, simply another life
And baby it's all gone, don't you see the past is past
That some things just aren't made to last
No point in holding on to another life

Let me slip away


15.I Tho't You Ought To Know

It's you that I'm just mad about
I tho't you ought to know
It's you that I can't live without
I tho't you ought to know

Skies seem to be bluer
Birds sing sweeter tunes
But all this never happens
Except when I'm with you

Your eyes are like the stars above
Your smile the sweet caress
It's you alone I'm dreaming of
I might as well confess

When you're in my arms
I'm thrilled from head to toe
I tho't you ought to know

When you're in my arms
I'm thrilled from head to toe
I tho't you ought to know
I tho't you ought to know


16.Jet

Jet, my love, your black eyes have captured me
And I am helpless in the web that you spin
I'll regret, my love, regret you've enraptured me
In this midnight maze, this ebony blaze

You'll fly away for I know you're just a slave
In search of life's mysteries, the thrills that you crave
Not even you can tell what smoking secrets hide
In the dark inside of your restless soul

But I'll go on adoring you, for how can I forget?
Your memory won't let me, Jet, my love

You'll fly away for I know you're just a slave
In search of life's mysteries, the thrills that you crave
Not even you can tell what smoking secrets hide
In the dark inside of your restless soul

But I'll go on adoring you, for how can I forget?
Your memory won't let me, Jet, my love


17.For Once In Your Life

Before this dance is through
I think I'll love you too
I'm so happy when you dance with me

I don't wanna kiss or hold your hand
If it's funny try and understand
There is really nothing else I'd rather do
'Cause I'm happy just to dance with you

I don't need to hug or hold you tight
I just wanna dance with you all night
In this world there's nothing I would rather do
'Cause I'm happy just to dance with you

Just to dance with you is everything I need
Before this dance is through
I think I'll love you too
I'm so happy when you dance with me

If somebody tries to take my place
Let's pretend we just can't see his face
In this world there's nothing I would rather do
'Cause I'm happy just to dance with you

Just to dance with you is everything I need
Before this dance is through
I think I'll love you too
I'm so happy when you dance with me

If somebody tries to take my place
Let's pretend we just can't see his face
In this world there's nothing I would rather do
'Cause I'm happy just to dance with you
'Cause I'm happy just to dance with you


18.Now He Tells Me

I been told when a boy kiss a girl

(Bop shuop, m'bop bop shuop)
Hey, hey
(Bop shuop, m'bop bop shuop)

My girl says when I kiss her lips
Gets a thrill through her fingertips

(Bop shuop, m'bop bop shuop)
Hey, hey
(Bop shuop, m'bop bop shuop)

Hey, hey
(Bop shuop)

Well, I talk about boys
Don't ya know I mean, boys?
Well, I talk about boys now
Ahh, boys

What a bundle of joy
(Alright, George)

My girl says when I kiss her lips
Gets a thrill through her fingertips

Hey, hey
(Bop shuop, m'bop bop shuop)

Well, I talk about boys

Well, I talk about boys now
Ahh, boys

Well, I talk about boys now
What a bundle of joy


19.Poor Butterfly

I'm a loser, I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

Of all the love I have won, and have lost
There is one love I should never have crossed
She was a girl in a million, my friend
I should have known she would win in the end

I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

Although I laugh and I act like a clown
Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown
My tears are falling like rain from the sky
Is it for her or myself that I cry?

I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

What have I done to deserve such a fate?
I realize I have left it too late
And so it's true pride comes before a fall
I'm telling you so that you won't lose all

I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be


20.Put 'Em In A Box, Tie 'Em With A Ribbon

You can take the moon, gather up the stars
And the robins that sing merrily
Put 'em in a box, tie 'em with a ribbon
Throw 'em in the deep blue sea

You can take the flowers, down in lovers lane
And that sentimental poetry
Put 'em in a box, tie I'em with a ribbon
Throw 'em in the deep blue sea

Not for me, all that stuff
The dreams that ruin your sleep
Not for me, had enough
Love is one thing you can keep

You can take the plans and the wedding bells
And whoever sings, 'Oh, promise me'
Put 'em in a box, tie I'em with a ribbon
Throw 'em in the deep blue sea
'Cause love and I we don't agree

Hansoms through the park, kisses in the dark
All the promises made faithfully
Put 'em in a box, tie 'em with a ribbon
Throw 'em in the deep blue sea

And you won't go wrong if you take a song
Sung by Frankie Boy or Mr. C
Put 'em in a box, tie 'em with a ribbon
Throw 'em in the deep blue sea

Not for me, all that stuff
The dreams that ruin your sleep
Not for me, had enough
Love is one thing you can keep

You know what to do with good old 'Tea for two'
And the girl for you, the boy for me
Put 'em in a box, tie 'em with a ribbon
Throw 'em in the deep blue sea
'Cause love and I we don't agree


21.I Don't Know Why (I Just Do)

All day long you're asking me what I see in you
All day long I'm answering but what good does it do?
I have nothing to explain

I just love you, love you and I'll tell you once again
I don't know why I love you like I do
I don't know why, I just do
I don't know why you thrill me like you do
I don't know why, you just do

You never seem to want my romancing
The only time you hold me is when we're dancing
I don't know why I love you like I do
I don't know why, I just do

You never seem to want my romancing
The only time you hold me is when we're dancing
I don't know why I love you like I do
I don't know why, I just do
