When a man loves a woman - Johnny Rivers (1967) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

(Lights!)

When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else
He'd trade the world
For a good thing he's found

If she is bad, he can't see it
She can do no wrong
He turns his back on his best friend 

If he puts her down

Yes, When a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
Trying to hold on to what he needs

He'd give up all of his comforts
Yes, and sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way
It´s gotta be

Well, this man loves the woman
(yes I do)
I give her everything I have
Trying to hold on to her kind of love
Why if she treat me bad?

When a man loves a woman
I´ve talked about it down deep in the soul
She can bring him such misery

If she´s playing  for a fool
He's the very last one to know
Loving eyes can never see

Yes, when a man loves a woman
Oh, he spends his very last dime
Trying to hold on to what he needs

He'd give up all of his comforts
Oh, that fool sleeps out in the rain
If she said that's the way
It´s gotta be

(Instrumental)

When a man loves a woman
I need it down deep in the soul

It's too late - Johnny Rivers (1967) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

I remember when I told you
I would try in every way
To hold you, and love you
And kiss you and keep you
Till my dying day

You just laughed
Said you found somebody new
Someone to make me
Forget about you

And now you tell me
That your new love
Isn´t true
Like he should be
You say that you´re gonna forget him
And you´re gonna come back to me

But things have changed
I got me somebody new
Someone to make me
Forget about you
I´m telling you

That it´s too late
To say you´re sorry
It´s too late
To say you´re mine
I have found myself a new love
And I´m gonna make her mine

It´s too late
It´s too late

Many days I tried to call you
Many nights I sat alone
Everyone knew that I loved you
But you had a love of your own

And now that he´s gone
You think you can come back to me
I´m not the same fool
That I used to be
And you´re gonna see

That it´s too late
To say you´re sorry
It´s too late
To say you´re mine
I have found myself a new love
And I´m gonna make her mine

It´s too late
It´s too late
To say you´re mine, 

ha, ha ,ha

ha, ha, ha

I remember when I told you
I would try in every way
To hold you, and kiss you
And keep you, baby
Till my dying day

But you just laughed, ha
Said you found somebody new
Someone to make me
Forget about you

And then you tell me
That this new love
Isn´t true
Like he should be
You say that you´re gonna forget him
And you´re gonna come back to me

But things have changed
I got me somebody new
Someone to make me
Forget about you
I´m telling you

That it´s too late
To say you´re sorry
It´s too late
To say you´re mine
I have found myself a new love
And I´m gonna make her mine

It´s too late
It´s too late

To say you´re mine, ha, ha, ha

It´s too late
To say you´re sorry
It´s too late
To say you´re mine
I have found myself a new love
And I´m gonna make her mine

It´s too late
It´s too late

To say you´re mine, ha, ha, ha

(Lyrics)

There's a man who leads a life of danger.

To everyone he meets he stays a stranger.

With every move he makes another chance he takes.

Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow

Secret Agent Man

Secret Agent Man

They've giving you a number and taken away your name.

Beware of pretty faces that you find.

A pretty face can hide an evil mind.

Oh, be careful what you say,

Or you will give yourself away.

Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow.

Secret Agent Man

They've giving you a number and taken away your name.

Secret Agent Man

Secret Agent Man

They've giving you a number and taken away your name.

Swinging on the Riviera one day.

And then later in the Bombay Alan next day.

I know you let the wrong words slip,

While kissing persuasive lips.

The odds are you won't live to see tomorrow.

Secret Agent Man

They've giving you a number and taken away your name.

Poor side of town - Johnny Rivers (1966 live) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

Do-doo-doo-wah shoo-be-doo-be
Do-doo-doo-wah shoo-be-doo-be

How can you tell me how much you miss me?
When the last time I saw you, you wouldn't even kiss me
That rich guy you've been seein'
Must have put you down
So welcome back baby
To the poor side of town

To him you were nothin', but a little plaything
Not much more than an overnight fling
To me you were the greatest thing this boy had ever found
And, girl, it's hard to find nice things
On the poor side of town

I can't blame you for tryin'
I'm tryin' to make it too
I've got one little hang up, baby
I just can't make it without you

So tell me, are you gonna stay now?
Will you stand by me, girl, all the way now?
With you by my side
They can't keep us down
Together we can make it, baby
From the poor side of town

(So tell me how much you love me)
(Come be near to me and say you need me now)

Oh, with you by my side
This world can't keep us down
Together we can make it baby
From the poor side of town

Do-doo-doo-wah shoo-be-doo-be
Do-doo-doo-wah shoo-be-doo-be
Do-doo-doo-wah shoo-be-doo-be

Do you wanna dance? - Johnny Rivers (1968) (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

Do you wanna dance and hold my hand ? 
Tell me that I'm your man
Baby, do you wanna dance ?

Do you wanna dance under the moonlight ?
Squeeze and kiss me all through the night
Baby, do you wanna dance ?

And do you wanna dance, girl, and hold my hand ?
Tell me that I'm your man
Baby, do you wanna dance ?

Do you wanna dance under the moonlight ?
Love me, girl, all through the night
Baby, do you wanna dance ?

Girl, now, do you, do you, do you, do you wanna dance ? 
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna dance ? 
Do you, do you wanna dance ?

Now, do you wanna dance and hold my hand ? 
Tell me that I'm your man
Baby, do you wanna dance ?

Yes, do you wanna dance I mean under the moonlight ?
Squeeze and kiss me all through the night
Baby, do you wanna dance ?

Girl, now, do you, do you, do you, do you wanna dance ? 
Do you ,do you, do you, do you wanna dance ? 
Do you, do you wanna dance ?
Oh, do you wanna dance, oh, my girl,

Do you, wanna dance ?

Baby, do you wanna dance ? ye, ye

Do you wanna dance all night?
Do you wanna dance under the moolinght?
