Paper Doll - Johny S Black (1942)
Words & Music by Johnny S. Black, 1915
Recorded by The Mills Brothers, 1942
I'm gonna buy a Paper Doll that I can call my own,
A doll that other fellows cannot steal;
OH PLEASE
And then the flirty, flirty guys with their flirty,
flirty eyes
Will have to flirt with dollies that are real.
THIS POOR GUY HAS NO CONFIDENCE IN HIMSELF
When I come home at night she will be waiting;
She'll be the truest doll in all this world.
IS THAT A LOVE DOLL?
I'd rather have a Paper Doll to call my own
Than have a fickle-minded real live girl.
THE GIRL WOULD ONLY BE FICKLE-MINDED IF SHE THOUGHT FOR EVEN A SECOND THAT YOU WERE A MAN
Bridge: (increase tempo)
I guess I had a million dolls or more;
I guess I've played the doll game o'er and o'er.
I just quarrelled with Sue, that's why I'm blue;
She's gone away and left me, just like all dolls do.
AND ALWAYS WILL
I'll tell you boys, it's tough to be alone;
OF WOE IS ME
And it's tough to love a doll that's not your own.
THAT’S WHY YOU NEED YOUR OWN LOVE DOLL
I'm through with all of them, I'll never fall
again
Say boy, whatcha gonna do?
BUY A PAPER DOLL WHAT ELSE?
I'd rather have a Paper Doll to call my own
Than have a fickle-minded real live girl.
Heartaches By the Number-- Guy Mitchell (1959)
Written by Harlan Howard 1959
CHORUS
Heartaches by the number, troubles by the score
Everyday you love me less, each day I love you more
NOW THAT’S MENTAL ILLNESS.
Yes, I've got heartaches by the number, a love that I
can't win
DEFEATIST
But the day that I stop countin', that's the day my
world will end
POSSIBLY
Heartache number one was when you left me
I never knew that I could hurt this way
NOW YOU KNOW
And heartache number two was when you “come’ back
again
You came back but never meant to stay
THAT’S BECAUSE YOU’RE A FOOL
Heartache number three was when you called me
And said that you were comin' back to stay
With hopeful heart I waited for your knock on the door
I waited but you must have lost your way
WELL STOP WAITING AND GO OUT AND FIND ANOTHER GIRL DUNCE
WHAT KIND OF A STUPID MAN WOULD WAIT AROUND FOR A GIRL THAT HAS NO INTEREST IN HIM. WHAT LOW SELF ESTEEM. GROW UP. BE A MAN. IF A WOMAN DOESN’T ADMIRE AND RESPECT YOU – GET RID FO HER – FAST….
I Can't Get Next to You-- Temptations (1969)
Norman Whitfield
Barrett Strong
They look like men, but sing like cowards
I Can turn a gray sky blue.
I can make it rain, whenever I wanted to.
Oh, I
I can build a castle from a single grain of
sand.
I can make a ship sail, uh, on dry land.
But my life is incomplete and I'm so blue.
BOO HOO
'Cause I can't get next to you.
SUCH POWER AND THEN SEMINAL WEAKNESS OBVIOUSLY
I can't get next to you, babe. (Next to you)
I can't get next to you. (I just can't get next you)
I GUESS HE CAN’T
I can't get next to you, babe.
I can't get next to you.
I GET THE PICTURE
I Can fly like a bird in the sky.
ON LSD?
Eddie: Hey, and I can buy anything that money can buy.
YOU A RICH DUDE
Oh, I can turn a river into a raging fire.
YOU GOT A HOT MIND
I can live forever if I so desired.
LORD LOVE YOU
Unimportant are all the things I can do. 'Cause
I can't get next to you.
I can't get next to you, babe. (No matter what I do)
I can't get next to you.
Uh-ya
Ooo-Ooo
Ooo-Ooo
RETURNING TO INFANCY STATE OVER THE WOMAN
Chica boom, chica boom
Chica boom, boom, boom
I can turn back the hands of time, you better
believe I can.
ACTUALLY I AM A LITTLE SCEPTICAL
I can make the seasons change, just by waving my
hand.
SOUNDS LIKE HE’S BEEN MASTURBATING TOO MUCH
Oh, I can change anything from old to new.
HOW ABOUT YOUR MANLINESS
The things I want to do the most, I'm unable to
do.
DEFINITELY HAS NO CONTROL OF HIS MIND
Unhappy am I with all the powers I possess.
YOU MEAN UNHAPPY BECAUSE YOU POSSESS NO POWER AND APPEAR DELUSIONAL
'Cause girl you're the key to my happiness.
WHAT MAD GLORIFICATION OF THE IMPORTANCE OF A WOMAN WHO DOES NOT RECIPROCATE YOUR FEELINGS. WITH ALL THIS DUMB-ASS’S SO CALLED POWER- WHY NOT WILL A GOOD WOMAN TO LOVE. THE SONG IS UTTERLY PREPSOTEROUS AS WELL AS UNMANLY. TO PRETEND MANLY ENDEAVOR AND THEN BE WEAK FOR THE LACK OF ATTENTION OF A SINGLE (OUT OF A POTENTIAL BILLION) WOMAN AND TO OBSESS ON ONE IS MENTAL WEAKNESS AND IS A DISEASE. LOOK FOR THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND IT, IF YOU ARE GOING TO ASSCOCIATE WITH A WOMAN- BE MANLY ENOUGH TO CAST YOUR ATTENTION AND YOUR LOVE ON ONE WHO FEELS STRONGLY ABOUT YOU. GIVE A WOMAN A CHANCE TO ADORE YOU, AND IF SHE DOES NOT, BEND YOUR WILL ELSEWHERE. NEVER SAY LIKE THE COWARD IN THIS SONG THAT YOU CAN DO ALL KINDS OF THINGS, BUT YOUR LIFE IS BLUE, BECAUSE YOU CAN’T HAVE SOME MEDIOCRE GIRL WHO DOESN’T HAVE THE INTELLIGENCE TO REALIZE YOUR GREATNESS.
And I
Can't get next to you.
Girl, you're blowing my mind
IF ONLY WE COULD BLOW YOUR BRAINS OUT- METAPHORICALLY OF COURSE….THAT IS TO LESSEN YOUR OBSESSION…
'cause I can't
get...(Next to you)
Can't you see these tears I'm crying?
OH PLEASE. NO. HE’S SO WEAK HE ADMITS TO THE WOMAN HE’S CRYING. WHAT A PANSY. NOW WE KNOW THE REASON SHE WON'T LET HIM NEAR. HE’S NO MAN.
I can't get...Next to you
Girl, it's you that I need. I gotta get...(Next to
you)
Can't you see these tears I'm crying?
WAH WAH. DO YOU WANT HER TO CHANGE YOUR DIAPER YOU LITTLE COWARD STINKER?
I can't get...
(Next to you)
I, I, I, I... I can't get...(Next to you)
I, I, I, I... I can't get...(Next to you)
Girl, you're blowing my mind...
STOP ALREADY WE GET THE PICTURE - IMBECILE.
