Save the Turtles: The Turtles Greatest Hits

Morning, Morning Glory.
If you'd like to know where was I last night.

Well I saw a girl with a bullet in her eye
And she's so out of sight

She's my girl
And that's wehere I was last night
off in a dream

She's my girl
I took her away last night
Went for a ride.

Off in the sky
that's were I was last night.

I just come back to tell ya
there's a little bit of heaven underneath the apple tree
Every time I see you with that smile upon your face
a little bit there for me

She's my girl
and that's where I was last night
Went for a ride

She's my girl
Took her away last night
We went for a ride.

My girl
We went for a whirl last night
up in the sky

My girl
Took me a way last night
off in the sky

My girl
Went for a whirl last night.
getting so high
Off in the sky that's where I was last night.

My girl
Took her away last night
that's where I was last night
Took her away last night
off in the sky..
My Girl
We went for a whirl last night.

From the time I fall asleep
'Til the morning comes I dream about
You baby
And I feel all right
'Cause I know tonight I'll be with
You baby
And who makes me feel like smiling
When the weary day is through

You baby, no-one but you, baby, nobody but you
You baby, no-one but you, baby, nobody but you

They say candy is sweet
But it just can't compete with
You baby
You've got everything I need
And nobody can please like
You do, baby
And who believes all my wildest dreams
And my craziest schemes will come true

You baby, no-one but you, baby, nobody but you
You baby, no-one but you, baby, nobody but you

A little ray of sunshine
A little bit of soul
Add just a touch of magic
You got the greatest thing since rock 'n' roll

You baby, no-one but you, baby, nobody but you
You baby, no-one but you, baby, nobody but you

You baby, no-one but you, baby, nobody but you
You baby, no-one but you, baby, nobody but you

Shouldn't we two be together

You know what I mean

To be with you is something like a dream (you know what I mean)

And if you want me to

I'll bring sunshine to you only
You better stop, take a look about

You know what I mean
If only you could see the dreams that seem to mean so much to me
Then you'd know the reason why
I would rather say "I do" than say
Goodbye and let you go forever

Wouldn't we two be together

But if you have to know
I'm in love if only you know what I mean

You got a thing about you
I just can't live without you
I really want you Elenore near me
Your looks intoxicate me
Even though your folks hate me
There's no one like you Elenore really

Elenore gee I think you're swell
And you really do me well
You're my pride and joy et cetera
Elenore can I take the time
To ask you to speak your mind
Tell me that you love me better

I really think you're groovy
Let's go out to a movie
What do ya say now, Elenore can we?
They'll turn the lights way down low
Maybe we won't watch the show
I think I love you, Elenore, love me

Elenore, gee I think you're swell
And you really do me well
You're my pride and joy, et cetera
Elenore, can I take the time
To ask you to speak your mind?
Tell me that you love me better

One more time!

Elenore, gee I think you're swell, ah-hah
Elenore, gee I think you're swell, ah-hah-hah

Please don't mistake me or try to make me
The shadow of anybody else
I ain't the him or her you think I am
I'm just trying hard to be myself
Oh, society's goal is to be part of the whole
That may sound good to you, not to me

Let me be, let me be
To think like I want to
Let me be, let me be
That's all I ask of you
I am what I am and that's all I ever can be

Don't try to plan me or understand me
I can't stand to be understood
I could never give in to or ever live up to
Being like you think I should
I've got some inner need which I'm tryin' to heed
I can't take hand-me-down destiny

Let me be, let me be,
To think like I want to
Let me be, let me be
That's all I ask of you
I am what I am and that's all I ever can be

Don't try to change me or rearrange me
To satisfy the selfishness of you
I'm not a piece of clay to mold to your moves each day
And I'm not a pawn to be told how to move
I'm sorry I'm not the fool you thought would play by your rules
But to-each-his-own philosophy

Let me be, let me be,
To think like I want to
Let me be, let me be
That's all I ask of you
I am what I am and that's all I ever can be

I said that's all I ever can be
I said that's all I ever can be
I said that's all I ever can be

Everybody says "Be strong" but I just can't take it
Every time I look at you, I feel funny inside, yeah
I've been meaning to ask you this for such a long long time

CHORUS:
Can I get to know you better?
Got to get to know you better
Can I get to know you better tonight?
I know that you think of me as just a friend
But you don't know how friendly I can be, yeah
I want so much to prove my love; baby, give me half a chance

Can I get to know you better?
Got to get to know you better
Can I get to know you better tonight?
I know that you think of me as just a friend
But you don't know how friendly I can be, yeah
I want so much to prove my love; baby, give me half a chance

Now I don't think I can go another day without you (Without tou)
One little kiss will tell me what I wanna know 'bout you
It ain't gonna hurt you; come on baby

Can I get to know you better?
Got to get to know you better
Can I get to know you better tonight?
I know that you think of me as just a friend
But you don't know how friendly I can be, yeah
I want so much to prove my love; baby, give me half a chance
(repeat & fade)

We walked hand in hand from the patch
Playing in the middle of the city
Down the street we walked westerly
Wind breezin' through her hair pretty
My love in the city is good, so good
When things around me slow down, slow down
I think about my love in the city, in the city
I think about my love
(instrumental, then scat singing)
I know she waits for me nervously
Trying to keep busy in the city
Sleeping in her bed patiently
Waiting for me, come home with love to me
My love in the city is good, so good
When things around me slow down, slow down
I think about my love in the city, in the city
I think about my love in the city, in the city
I think about my love in the city

Perhaps another time or maybe 'nother place
Could've eased my mind, would've never seen your face
Or heard about you

But now you call my name & your reality
Though it's hard to explain, I know I'll never be
Without you

I know nothing about you
But I know I don't doubt your love & I know that it's real
By God above I know I feel about you
Got a handful of gold & a pocketful of dreams
But a heart full of love & I know what it means
To be without you

Just sit by my side & share with me
All the feelings inside & the things you see
About you

I know Miss Lonely will be here today
Waiting for me; now the time is right, so hear me say
The from now on I'll stay about you

(instrumental)

I know Miss Lonely will be here today
Waiting for me; now the time is right, so hear me say
The from now on I'll stay about you
About you, about you, about
