Just Because It Seems Like the Thing to Do

Two songs running through my head today. Felt the need to download them out of my brain and share them with the rest of the world. Don't say that I didn't warn you...

I recall just walkin' down the street
Tryin' to escape the city heat
I saw her from the corner of my eye, eye, eye
Yeh, she looked so good, I thought I'd die

My heart went bang-shang-a-lang
Bang-shang-a-lang
Bang-shang-a-lang-bang-bang

Somethin' said I shouldn't waste no time
If I'm ever gonna make her mine
I walked right up and said "how do you do, do, do?"
She said "I bet I do as good as you"

My heart went bang-shang-a-lang
Bang-shang-a-lang
Bang-shang-a-lang-bang-bang

I remember when I held her tight
(Bang-shang-a-lang)
Felt like holdin' dynamite now
(Bang-shang-a-lang)
What's that ringin' in my ear?
(Bang-shang-a-lang)
Tell me ain't those bells I hear!
(Bang-shang-a-lang)

Bang bang!
Shang-a-lang
Bang bang!
Shang-a-lang

Bang bang bang!
Shang a lang a lang
Bang bang bang!
Shang a lang a lang

Now she's gonna spend her life with me
And we'll be as happy as can be
Of course I love her more than I can tell, tell, tell
Sunday afternoon we'll hear the bells
And they'll go...

Bang-shang-a-lang
Bang-shang-a-lang
Bang-shang-a-lang-bang-bang

Oh they'll go...

Bang-shang-a-lang
Bang-shang-a-lang
Bang-shang-a-lang-bang-bang . . .

-------------------------------------------

Though I've tried before to tell her
Of the feelings I have for her in my heart
Every time that I come near her
I just lose my nerve
As I've done from the start

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
Its a big enough umbrella
But its always me that ends up getting wet

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

I resolve to call her up a thousand times a day
And ask her if shell marry me in some old fashioned way
But my silent fears have gripped me
Long before I reach the phone
Long before my tongue has tripped me
Must I always be alone?

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
