“His little hand is on my heart.
He's got me where it hurts me.
Knock, knock. Who's there in this baby?
You know how to work me.
All my barriers are going.
It's starting to show.”

“Don't go breaking my heart.
I couldn't if I tried.
Honey if I get restless…
Baby you're not that kind.Don't go breaking my heart.
You take the weight off me.
Honey when you knock on my door,
I gave you my key.”

What's in my mind it's little I know,
But there's that in me must up and start,
And it's little I care where my feet go.”

“My knees started knocking, I did feel so sad.
Then Brown said, "Don't die in a pub, it looks bad,"
He said, "Come with me, I'll show you what to do.
Now I've got a friend who'll be useful to you."
He led me to Black's Undertaking Depot,
And Black, with some crepe round his hat said, "Hello,
My word you do look queer!"”

“I dream of you / And all the things you say / I wonder where you are now
I need you now / You've knocked me off my feet
We talk of going old / But you say "Please don't
Let me be the one / Who shines with you / In the morning / We don't know what to do"”
