Hey little girl My hearts aching all the time Why is loving you a crime Yes I’m crying Hey little girl Is there hope for a boy like me To end my misery Can’t you see Only you can make it better Only you can put us back together Only you can mend the wound Only only you Hey little girl I’ve had this longing every since What will it take so you’re convinced Three guesses or some hints Hey little girl I don’t have fame or a fancy car And my looks won’t get me far But I could love you for who you are Only you can make it better Only you can put us back together Only you can mend the wound Only only you Only you can make it better Only you can put us back together Only you can mend the wound Only only you

Now you’re gone Can my heart go on Now you’re gone Can my heart go on You keep saying that you can’t sit still Your hearts aflame and your words you can’t fulfill Fire drill Now you’re gone Can my heart go on Now you’re gone Can my heart go on You keep playing your games of lost and found You’re here today but soon you’ll be sorrow bound I’ll rebound

Why oh why Why oh why Why oh why can’t you be mine Why oh why Why oh why Why oh why can’t you be mine Some dig gold Some want a diamond ring Others want money And all that its supposed to bring As for me I want you more than any other thing So hear me Why oh why Why oh why Why oh why can’t you be mine Why oh why Why oh why Why oh why can’t you be mine So I say Why oh why Why oh why Why oh why can’t you be mine Why oh why Why oh why Why oh why can’t you be mine

Don’t let me wonder Or make me feel blue This spell I'm under Can be broken by you Don’t let me wonder My eyes are aglow Tell me now If it’s all for show You’ve got a way for lonely days and nights Since our kiss I'm left to remiss those heights Don’t let me wonder Or make me feel blue This spell I'm under Can be broken by you Don’t let me wonder My eyes are aglow Tell me now If it’s all for show Don’t let me wonder Or make me cry Tell me please If it’s really goodbye Don’t let me wonder Don’t let me wonder Don’t let me wonder

about

REVIEW:
Speaking of EPs, the hardest working band plying the sixties-meets-punk side of the street are back with a new collection of four killer tunes. The Friends of Cesar Romero once again really deliver with In the Cold Cruel Eyes of a Million Stars. It’s a great title and the cover is pure 1960s fashion model chic, the kind The Smiths adorned all their singles with. But it’s what inside the EP jacket that counts and here they don’t disappoint. “Athena Crystal” echoes that classic 1960s garage pop rock and roll sound that came on strong again in the late 1970s. “Life of a Sun Queen” owns its late 1960s psych rock sound with a vengeance. “The Moment Playboy” is relentless in hitting its poppy rock marks. “Plastic Moon Love Arrest” has more of Gene Pitney angst to it, if he’d been backed by an actual rock and roll band. I don’t know where band leader J. Waylon gets all his inspiration from but, please, please, don’t let it stop.
