The Monkee

By tommy boyce and bobby hart

I wanna be free,
Like the bluebirds flying by me
Like the waves out on the blue sea.
If your love has to tie me, don't try me,
Say good-bye.

I wanna be free,
Don't say you love me say you like me,
But when i need you beside me,
Stay close enough to guide me, confide in me,
Oh-oh-oh

I wanna hold yur hand,
Walk along the sadn
Laughing in the sun,
Always having fun
Doing all those things
Without any strings
To tie me down.

I wanna be free,
Like the warm september wind, babe,
Say you'll always be my friend, babe.
We can make it to the end, babe,
Again, babe, i gotta say:
I wanna be free
I wanna be free
I wanna be free

Here we come, walkin'
Down the street.
We get the funniest looks from
Ev'ry one we meet.
Hey, hey, we're the monkees
And people say we monkey around.
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down.

We go wherever we want to,
Do what we like to do
We don't have time to get restless,
There's always something new.
Hey, hey, we're the monkees
And people say we monkey around.
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down.

We're just tryin' to be friendly,
Come and watch us sing and play,
We're the young gneration,
And we've got something to say.

Any time, or anywhere,
Just look over your shoulder
Guess who'll be standing there

Hey, hey, we're the monkees
And people say we monkey around.
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down.

(break)

Hey, hey, we're the monkees
And people say we monkey around.
But we're too busy singing
To put anybody down.

We're just tryin' to be friendly,
Come and watch us sing and play,
We're the young gneration,
And we've got something to say.

Hey, hey, we're the monkees
Hey, hey, we're the monkees
[repeat and fade]

Extra verse:

Hey, hey, we're the monkees,
You never know where we'll be found.
So you'd better get ready,
We may be comin' to your town.

Know that something very strange
Is happening to my brain.
I'm either feeling very good
Or else i am insane.
The seeds of doubt you planted
Have started to grow wild
But feel that i must yield before
The wisdom of a child

And it's love you bring,
No that i can't deny,
With your wings,
I can learn to fly,
Sweet young thing.

People try to talk to me
Their words are ugly sounds
But i resist all their attempts
To try and bring me down..
Turned on to the sunset,
Like i've never done before.
And i listen for your footsteps
And your know upon the door.

And it's love you bring,
With dreams of bluer skies
All these things,
When i seem them in your eyes
Sweet young thing.

By gerry goffin and russ titelman

I'll be true to you, yes i will.
I'll be true to you, yes i will.
I won't look twice when the other girls go by.
I'll be true to you, yes i will.

Somehow this time it's all so clear to me.
The way to go is easy to see.
My heart is sure you're the girl i've waited for.
And i'll be true to you, yes i will.

I used to be the kind,
Who said that ev'ry girl's the say
And love was just a game for having fun,
But when i looked at you,
I knew that i was wrong
And that i really could belong to only one.

I'll be true to you, yes i will.
Ev'ry dream that you have, i'll fulfill.
I never promised this to anyone before
But i'll be true to you, yes i will.
Yes, i'll be true to you, yes i will.

Let's dance on,
Oh, baby, come on.
Let's dance on 'til the dawn,
Have fun 'til the music's all gone.

We've been dancin',
Nearly all night long.
Let's keep it up baby,
'cause the music's still strong.
We're doin' the pony
Now you're doing the jerk.
A come on, baby,
Let me see how you work.

Let's dance on,
Oh, baby, come on.
Let's dance on 'til the dawn,
Have fun 'til the music's all gone.

The way you're movin'
Girl, you look so fine.
You been doin' the shotgun,
Let me see you do the twine,
Let's see the watusi,
And the action too,
Now hang on, baby,
I'll do the sloopy with you.

Let's dance on,
Oh, baby, come on.
Let's dance on 'til the dawn,
Have fun 'til the music's all gone.

Though you've played at love and lost
And sorrow's turned your heart to frost
I will melt your heart again.
Remember the feeling as a child
When you woke up and morning smiled
It's time you felt like you did then.
There's just no percentage in remembering the past
It's time you learned to live again at last.

Come with me, leave yesterday behind
And take a giant step outside your mind.

You stare at me in disbelief
You say for you there's no relieve
But i swear i'll prove you wrong.
Don't stay in your lonely room
Just staring back in silent gloom.
That's not where you belong
Come with me i'll take you where the tast of life is green
And everyday holds wonders to be seen.

Come with me, leave yesterday behind
And take a giant step outside your mind.
