Open All Night

I recognize the symptoms, but i don't know the cure
Your feelings are so useless, banging your head out on the wall
Well i went through the station, if i could have a chance
No overnight sensation, matters to you right now
Yeah it's all too unreal, you know the way i feel
Well it never came to much anyway,
We split it even and we split it fair
We never worry about the next day
Yeah it's all too unreal, you know the way i feel
When i got time to kill, that's when i get my fill
Livin' hand to mouth

I recognize the symptoms, but i don't know the cure
No overnight sensation, matters to you anymore
Yeah it's all too unreal, you know the way i feel
When i got time to kill, that's when i get my fill

Well i was out the other evening
On a walk when i decided to
Take myself a little stroll through the park
I was young and i was feeling no pain
Well i was a happy man not a care in this world
A real up and comer with an eye for the girls
When i saw something that just about set
My young heart a flame
Well i introduced myself and i said nice night for a walk
But i couldn't understand a thing she said when she talked
And i said honey, let's get something straight between you and me
Well that's when she settled down on the park bench
Her skirt rolled and i could see she was french
And my heart said toujours l'amour, avec mon amour

My my mon cheri
Baby i sure would be delighted in your company
Anytime that is good for you
Would be convenient with me
Well i say my my my mon cheri

My my mon cheri
Baby i sure would be delighted in your company
Anytime that is good for you
Would be convenient with me
Well my my my mon cheri

I'm still a happy man
And i'm still in love with my sweet mademmoiselle
She feels such amour for a fine young sweet pierre
We're in love together hope it'll always be
My sweet darling cheri and me
Because together we generate such savoir faire

My my mon cheri
Baby i should would be delighted in your company
Anytime that is good for you
Would be convenient with me
My my my mon cheri
I said, i said, i said mon cheri

The other night, i had a dream
I was dying in desert sand
And then above watching over me
Stood an angel with a golden hand

(chorus)
Singing sheila sheila, sheila sheila
Screeling and a reeling
Sheila sheila, sheila sheila, sheila sheila
My heart she was stealing

Living here in this old town
There ain't a lot to do
And after work i just ride around
Looking out for something new
When i saw you standing in a drugstore
Trying on your diamond ring
Had to run in jujp through the front door
Grab your hand and start to sing about

(repeat chorus)

She don't run, she don't hide
Sheila thinks that everyone is beautiful inside

Sheila put your red dress on and let your long hair down
We're gonna make them turn the lights on
On the hill at the edge of town
I was lost and on my own i was lost and broken down
And when you sing that old shirelle song
I'm the king with the golden crown

Singing na na na na oh sheila sheila (say 3 times)

Sheila's inside of the night, trying to take me into the light(4 or more times)

Well c'mon over baby, whole lotta shakin going on
Yeah c'mon one over baby, baby you can't go wrong
We ain't fakin', whole lotta shakin going on

C'mon over baby, we got chicken in the boiler
Yeah c'mon over baby, we really got the bull by the horn
I ain't fakin', whole lotta shakin going on

Easy now, i said shake it baby shake it
Shake it baby shake it, shake it baby shake it,
Shake it baby shake it, shake it baby shake it,
C'mon over, whole lotta shakin going on

Well c'mon over baby we got chicken in the boiler
C'mon over baby we really got the bull by the horn
We ain't fakin, whole lotta shakin going on

Get myself a window seat
Strap myself in,
Listen to the whining of the southbound dc-10
Driver come on now
I bet she's waiting at the gate
I got the 'mats on my walkman
Singing "i just can't hardly wait".

(chorus)
We've been apart all those lonely days and nights
Now we're going to be together
I'm going to squeeze and hold you so tight
Baby so fine
This sweet love of yours and mine
Baby so fine
Now we're going to take our precious time.

Step out on the rampway
There's a great big smile upon your face
And i know deep down in my soul
There'll never be another one to take your place
I want to take you by the hand
I got to try to make you understand
You're the only woman i could ever want
And i'm your one and only sweet lover man

(repeat chorus)

Well i listen for your footsteps
Comin' up the drive
Well i listen for your footsteps
But they don't arrive
Just a waitin' for your knockin'
On my own front door
I don't hear it that doesn't mean
You don't love me anymore

Well i hear that clock a tickin'
On the mantle shelf
Well i see the hand's a movin'
But i'm by myself
Well i wonder where you are tonight
And why i'm by myself
I don't see you it doesn't mean
You don't love me anymore

Don't pass me by
Don't make me cry
Don't make me blue
You now darlin'
I love only you
You know it hurt me so

How i hate to see you go
Don't pass me by
Don't make me cry

I'm sorry that i doubted you
I was so unfair
You were in a car crash
And you lost your hair
And you said that you would be late
About an hour or two
Well that's alright baby thats alright
I'm waitin to hear from you

(repeat chorus twice)
