1. _ You Got To Me
Written by: neil diamond
Mama told me that some day it would happen
But she never said it would happen like this
Papa said, "look out, some girl'll catch you nappin'
Some little girl will get to you with her kiss"
You got to me
You brought me to my knees
Never thought i'd say please, girl
You got to my soul
You got control
You got to me, you got to be mine
Used to slip thru every girl's hand like water
There never was one who could tie me down
Straight ahead and steady as gibraltar
'til you brought me tumblin' to the ground
You got to me
You brought me to my knees
Never thought i'd say please, girl
You got to my soul
You got control
You got to me, you got to be mine

2. _ The Boat That I Row
Written by: neil diamond
I don't have a lot but with me that's fine
Whatever i got, well, i know it's mine
I don't go around with the local crowd
I don't ??? so i guess i'm out
I'm sayin' these things so you know me, baby
So you understand what i'm all about
The boat that i row won't cross no ocean
The boat that i row won't get me there soon
But i got the love and if you got the notion
The boat that i row is big enough for two
That's me and you
There ain't a man in life tell me what to say
I choose my own side and i like it that way
I don't worry about the thinkgs that i'm not
There's only one thing that i want i ain't got
You know that i'm talking about you baby
So you better know and come along

3. _ Shilo
Written by: neil diamond
Young child with dreams
Dream, ev'ry dream on your own
When children play
Seems like you end up alone
Papa says he'd love to be with you
If he had the time
So you turn to the only friend you can find
There in your mind
Shilo, when i was young
I used to call your name
When no one else would come
Shile, you always came
And we'd play
Young girl with fire
Something said she understood
I wanted to fly
She made me feel like i could
Held out my hand, and i let her take me
Blind as a child
All i saw was the way that she made me smile
She made me smile
Shilo, when i was young
I used to call your name
When no one else would come
Shile, you always came
And you'd stay
Had a dream, and it filled me with wonder
She had other plans
"got to go, and i know you'll understand"
I understand
Shilo, when i was young
I used to call your name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came
Come today

4. _ Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon
Written by: neil diamond
Love you so much, can't count all the ways
I'd die for you girl, and all they can say is
"he's not your kind"
They never get tired of puttin' me down
And i never know when i come around
What i'm gonna find
Don't let them make up your mind
Don't you know
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon you'll need a man
I've been misunderstood for all of my life
But what they're sayin', girl, just cuts like a knife
"the boy's no good"
Well, i finally found what i've been looking for
But if they get the chance, they'll end it for sure
Sure they would
Baby, i've done all i could
It's up to you
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon you'll need a man

Written by: neil diamond
Do it
While your soul's still burning
?? had the yearning away
Say what you wanna say
Cause if you let her go
You'll always know

And that no other could do

Cause if you take your time
You're gonna find
You blew it
Go thru it

6. _ Kentucky Woman
Written by: neil diamond
Kentucky woman
She shines with her own kind of light
She looks at you once
And a day that's all wrong looks all right
And i love her
God knows i love her
Kentucky woman
If she get to know you
She goin' to own you
Kentucky woman
Well, she ain't the kind
Make heads turn at the drop of her name
But something inside
That she's got turns you on just the same
And i love her
God knows i love her
Kentucky woman
If she get to know you
She goin' to own you
Kentucky woman
I don't want much
The good lord's earth beneath the feet
A gentle touch
Of that one girl and life is
Sweet and good
There ain't no doubt
Hey, i'm talking about
Kentucky woman
Kentucky woman
I don't want much
The good lord's earth beneath the feet
A gentle touch
Of that one girl and life is
Sweet and good
There ain't no doubt
Hey, i'm talking about
Kentucky woman
If she get to know you
She goin' to own you
Kentucky woman
Kentucky woman
Kentucky woman
Kentucky woman

7. _ I'm A Believer
Written by: neil diamond
I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams
Then i saw her face
Now i'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I coundn't leave her if i tried
I thought love was more or less a giving thing
Seems the more i gave the less i got
What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When i needed sunshine i got rain
Then i saw her face
Now i'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I coundn't leave her if i tried

9. _ Solitary Man
Written by: neil diamond
Melinda was mine
'til the time
That i found her
Holding jim
Loving him
Then sue came along
Loved me strong
That's what i thought
Me and sue
But that died too
Don't know that i will
But until i can find me
A girl who'll stay
And won't play games behind me
I'll be what i am
A solitary man
Solitary man
I've had it to here
Bein' where
Love's a small world
Part-time thing
Paper ring
I know it's been done
Having' one
Girl who'll love me
Right or wrong
Weak or strong
Don't know that i will
But until i can find me
The girl who'll stay
And won't play games behind me
I'll be what i am
A solitary man
Solitary man

10. _ Red, Red Wine
Written by: neil diamond
Red, red wine
Go to my head
Make me forget that i
Still need her so
Red, red wine
It's up to you
All i can do, i've done
But memories won't go
No, memories won't go
I'd have sworn
That with time
Thoughts of you
Would leave my head
I was wrong
And i find
Just one thing
Makes me forget
Red, red wine
Stay close to me
Don't let me be alone
It's tearing apart
My blue, blue heart

11. _ Thank The Lord For The Night Time
Written by: neil diamond
Daytime turns me off, and i don't mean maybe
Nine-to-five ain't taking me where i'm bound
When it's done, i run out to see my baby
We get groovin' when the sun goes down
I thank the lord for the night time
To forget the day
A day of up-, uptight time
Baby, chase it away
I get relaxation
It's a time to groove
I thank the lord for the night time
I thank the lord for you
I'll talk about plans now, baby, i got plenty
Nothing ever seems turn out the way it should
Talk about money, girl, i ain't got any
Seems like just one time i'm feelin' good
I thank the lord for the night time
To forget the day
A day of up-, uptight time
Baby, chase it away
I get relaxation
It's a time to groove
I thank the lord for the night time
I thank the lord for you

12. _ I Got The Feelin' (oh No, No)
Written by: neil diamond
Oh no, no, no
Baby, something's wrong
Oh no, no, no
That old time fire's gone
It's not so much things you say, love
It's what you don't say i am afraid of
I got the feelin'
I'm hearin' goodbye
Don't have to say it
It's there in your eyes
Oh why, oh my
Oh no, no, no
You don't smile the same
Oh no, no, no
Like you been hidin' pain
I love you so much, i could taste it
But girl, your eyes tell me it's wasted
I got the feelin'
I'm hearin' goodbye
Don't have to say it
It's there in your eyes
Oh why, oh my
Oh no, oh no
Oh no, baby
I got the feelin'
I'm hearin' goodbye
I got the feelin'
That i'm gonna die
