#81 White Room (Cream) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
In the white room with black curtains near the station
Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings
Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes
Dawn light smiles on you leaving, my contentment🪄
I’ll wait in this place where the sun never shines
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves🪄
You said no strings could secure you at the station
Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows
I walked into such a sad time at the station
As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning🪄
I’ll wait in the queue when the trains come back
Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves🪄
At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd
Consolation for the old wound now forgotten
Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes
She’s just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings🪄
I’ll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd
Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves

#80 Elenore (The Turtles) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
You got a thing about you
I just can’t live without you
I really want you, Elenore, near me🪄
Your looks intoxicate me
Even though your folks hate me
There’s no one like you, Elenore, really🪄
Elenore, gee, I think you’re swell
And you really do me well
You’re my pride and joy, et cetera
Elenore, can I take the time
To ask you to speak your mind?
Tell me that you love me better🪄
I really think you’re groovy
Let’s go out to a movie
What do you say, now, Elenore, can we?🪄
They’ll turn the lights way down low
Maybe we won’t watch the show
I think I love you, Elenore, love me🪄
Elenore, gee, I think you’re swell
And you really do me well
You’re my pride and joy, et cetera
Elenore, can I take the time
To ask you to speak your mind?
Tell me that you love me better🪄
Elenore, gee, I think you’re swell, ah-ah
Elenore, gee, I think you’re swell, ah-ah
Ah

#79 Woman, Woman (Gary Puckett and The Union Gap) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Woman
Woman
Have you got cheating on your mind?
On your mind🪄
Something’s wrong between us
That your laughter cannot hide
And you’re afraid to let your eyes meet mine🪄
And lately when I love you
I know you’re not satisfied🪄
Woman
Woman
Have you got cheating on your mind?
On your mind🪄
I’ve seen the way men look at you
When they think I don’t see
And it hurts to have them think that you’re that kind🪄
But it’s knowing that you’re looking back
That’s really killing me🪄
Woman
Woman
Have you got cheating on your mind?
On your mind🪄
A woman wears a certain look
When she is on the move
And a man can always tell what’s on her mind🪄
I hate to have to say it
But that look’s all over you🪄
Woman
Woman
Have you got cheating on your mind?🪄
Oh, woman
Woman
Have you got cheating on your mind?🪄
Oh, woman
Oh, ho, woman
Have you got cheating on your mind?🪄
Oh

Lyrics:
I take two, okay🪄
You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it’s evolution
Well, you know
We all wanna change the world🪄
But when you talk about destruction

We’d all love to change your head (ah, shu-bi-do, ah)
You tell me it’s the institution

You better free your mind instead (ah, shu-bi-do, ah)🪄
If you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain’t gonna make it with anyone anyhow🪄
Don’t you know it’s gonna be all right? (Ah, shu-bi-do, ah)

#77 Keep Me Hangin’ On (Vanilla Fudge) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Set me free, why don’t you babe?
Get out my life, why don’t you babe?
You really don’t want me, you just keep me hanging on
You really don’t need me, you just keep me hanging on🪄
Why do you keep coming around, playing with my heart?
Why don’t you get out of my life
When seeing you just breaks my heart again
There ain’t nothing I can do about it🪄
You know I need love
Set me free, why don’t you babe?
Talkin’ ’bout love
Get out my life, why don’t now?
You really don’t want me, you just keep me hanging on🪄
Get out my life, why don’t you babe?
Get out my life, why don’t you babe?

#76 The Unicorn (The Irish Rovers) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
A long time ago, when the earth was still green
And there were more kinds of animals than you’ve ever seen
They’d run around free while the earth was being born
But the loveliest of all was the unicorn🪄
There was green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you’re born
The loveliest of all was the unicorn🪄
Now god seen some sinnin’ and it gave him pain
And he says, “stand back, I’m going to make it rain”
He says, “hey, brother Noah, I’ll tell you what to do
Build me a floating zoo”🪄
And take some of them green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you’re born
Don’t you forget my unicorn”🪄
Old Noah was there to answer the call
He finished up making the ark just as the rain started fallin’
He marched in the animals two by two
And he called out as they went through
“Hey, Lord”🪄
I’ve got your green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but Lord, I’m so forlorn
I just can’t see no unicorn”🪄
Then Noah looked out through the driving rain
Them unicorns was hiding, playing silly games
Kicking and splashing while the rain was pouring
Oh, them silly unicorns🪄
There was green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees
Noah cried, “close the doors ’cause the rain is pourin’
And we just can’t wait for no unicorns”🪄
The ark started movin’, it drifted with the tide
Them unicorns looked up from the rock and they cried
And the waters came down and sort of floated them away
And that’s why you’ll never see a unicorn, to this very day🪄
You’ll see green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you’re born
You’re never gonna see no unicorn

#75 Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo-Da-Day (Stevie Wonder) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Your precious sweetheart, she’s so faithful, she’s so true, oh yeah
Her dreams are tumblin’, her world is crumblin’ because of you, uh-uh
One day you’ll hurt her just once too much
And when you finally lose your tender touch, hey, hey🪄
Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-be-doo-da-day
Her feet may wander, her heart may stray, oh yeah
Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-be-doo-da-dee
You gonna send your baby straight to me🪄
I’m gonna give her all the lovin’ within my heart, oh yeah
I’m gonna patch up every single little dream you tore apart, understand me?
And when she tells you she’s cried her last tear
Heaven knows I’m gonna be somewhere near, oh yeah🪄
Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-be-doo-da-day
Her feet may wander, her heart may stray, baby
Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-be-doo-da-dee
Love’s gon’ lead your baby straight to me🪄
Yeah
Mm, yeah🪄
You’d better listen to me, yeah, yeah-yeah
Heartaches are callin’ tears are fallin’ because of you, hey, yeah
And when you’re gone, you know I’m the one to call to a rescue
Maybe you didn’t know that day🪄
You’re gonna leave her once too many times
And when you come back that girl’s gonna be mine, all mine, hey, hey🪄
Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-be-doo-da-day
Her feet may wander, her heart may stray, yeah-yeah
Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-be-doo-da-dee
Love’s gon’ send your baby straight to me, hey, hey, yeah, oh, yeah, baby

#74 Goin’ Out Of My Head/Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You (The Lettermen) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Well, I think I’m goin’ out of my head
Yes, I think I’m goin’ out of my head
Over you
Over you🪄
I want you to want me
I need you so badly, I can’t think of anything but you🪄
You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off of you
You’d be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last, love has arrived
And I thank God I’m alive
You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off of you🪄
Goin’ out of my head over you
Out of my head over you
Out of my head
Day and night, night and day and night, wrong or right🪄
I love you, baby, and if it’s quite alright, I need you baby
To warm the lonely night
I love you, baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh! Pretty baby, don’t bring me down, I pray
Oh, pretty baby, now that I’ve found you, stay
And let me love you, baby, let me love you🪄
I want you to want me
I need you so badly, I can’t think of anything but you
Goin’ out of my head over you (you’re just too good to be true)
Out of my head (can’t take my eyes off of you)
Out of my head, day and night, night and day and night, wrong or right
Night and day and night, wrong or right
Night and day and night
And I think I’m goin’ out of my… head

#73 Over You (Gary Puckett and the Union Gap) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Why am I losing sleep over you?
Reliving precious moments we knew🪄
So many days have gone by
Still I’m so lonely and I guess there’s just no getting over you
And there’s nothing I can do
But spend all of my time out of my mind
Over you🪄
Within the prison walls of my mind
There’s still apart of you left behind
And though it hurts I’ll get by
Without your loving yet I guess this just no getting over you
And there’s nothing I can do
But spend all of my time out of my mind
Over you🪄
And I guess there’s just no getting over you
And there’s nothing I can do
But spend all of my time out of my mind
Over you🪄
And I guess there’s just no getting over you
And there’s nothing I can do
But spend all of my time out of my mind

#72 I Wonder What She Is Doing Tonight (Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
If I had told her that I loved her
She would have stayed ’til who knows when
But I guess she couldn’t understand it
When I said I want to be your friend
Because a friend would never doubt you
Or ever put you uptight
And now I wonder what she’s doing tonight🪄
Oh yes, I wonder
What she’s doing tonight
Oh-oh, I wonder what she’s doing tonight🪄
We were so close but we should’ve been closer
And it’s making me feel so sad
But I tell myself I didn’t lose her
‘Cause you can’t lose a friend you never had (come on now)
Because a friend won’t say it’s over
And go out just for spite
And now I wonder what she’s doing tonight🪄
Oh yes, I wonder
What she’s doing tonight
Oh-oh, I wonder what she’s doing tonight🪄
Because a friend will always be there
If you’re wrong or if you’re right
And now I wonder what she’s doing tonight🪄
Oh yes, I wonder
What she’s doing tonight
Oh-oh, I wonder what she’s doing tonight
