We Never Stopped
Hal Newman
1st verse:
Frankie gave up the guitar
Opened up a barbershop
Susie and the Cuties, Rock and roll beauties
Gave up singing Doo Wop
Oh my Linda, You know she surrendered
To the man with the money in his hand
We hung in like Gunga Din
And never gave up the band.
Chorus:
We never stopped, Climbing up Rock and Roll Mountain
We never stopped, Chasing that Rock and Roll dream
We never stopped, Packing up and moving on down that dark highway
Jammed in every join that rocked, We never stopped.
2nd verse:
Never made it in the 60's
You know the British made the music change
Meanwhile on the Gulf Coast, Music that we loved most
Came from down in New Orleans
Took that backbeat rocked hard,Played it in the backyard
Rock and Roll Rhythm and Blues
Then we went to Memphis, Doin what we did best
Left there battered and bruised.
(Chorus)
3rd verse:
Somethin' went on in Nashville
Nineteen eighty six
Pop went country, country got funky
All the music started to mix
Folks got wiser played the synthesizer
The groove took over control
Now the town is jumpin', Someone started somethin'
All God's country got soul.

Hal Newman
1st Verse:
You're standing there
A lovely stare on your face
You're wondering if
I'd like to go to your place
You say we've got a lot in common
You'd like to get to know me
You say you want to show me
Where you're coming from
Chorus:
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh
Yes, Yes, Yes
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh
Yes, Yes, Yes
2nd Verse:
I've got to say it
You've been on my mind all day
I've had this feeling
Love was coming my way
I realized the fire had started
When our eyes met
Girl I want to hold you now
And make this a night we will never forget
Chorus:
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh
Yes, yes, yes
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh
Yes, Yes, Yes
Bridge:
Indeed I do, I do indeed
You're the one that I really need
Baby you don't have to guess
Yes, Yes, Yes

ALL I WANT IS YOUR LOVE
Rachel Newman
lst verse: I would give you roses, if roses make you smile
I'd give you anything your heart desires
If you wanted freedom, I'd let the bridges burn
And I would ask just one thing in return
Chorus: All I want is your love
I don't want earthly treasure
I don't want to live forever, darlin'
All I want is your love
All I've ever wanted is your love.
2nd verse: Lately when I hold you, it feels like no one's there
Did I hurt you so much, you don't care?
If we could start over, that would be enough
And I'd be satisfied with just your touch.

Lunar Love
Hal Newman
1st verse: That moon above
Was meant for love tonight
Well, it's lunar love
And I can't get enough tonight
You put me into orbit
Just like a satellite
Chorus: Lunar Love
Lost in Space
Lunar Love
Shinin' on your face
2nd verse: Off like a rocket
Sailin' through a starry sky
Emotion control
Just saw a comet go by
When we kiss like this
Girl you know I fly
(Chorus)
Lunar Love
Soaring through the galaxy
Lunar love
Meant for you and me.

FOLLOW THAT GIRL
Hal Newman & Rachel Newman
1st verse: Follow that girl
Wherever she goes
Follow that girl
She's the one who knows
Just look at that gleam in her eye
She loves just bein' alive
And I need her in my world
Follow that girl.

Wherever she leads
Follow that girl
She does as she please
She's got a smile on her face
That will take her anyplace
And I need her in my world
Follow that girl.
Bridge: She's the kind of girl
You love right from the start
Don't let her get away
I've given her my heart.
3rd verse: Follow that girl
She knows the way
Follow that girl
I mean what I say
She's got dreams of her own
But if she feels like comin' home
I still need her in my world
Follow that girl.

Just Because You Want Me Too
Hal Newman
1st Verse:
Gonna walk tall, up straight, just because I feel great
Ain't no limit, gettin' better by the minute
Gettin' leaner, gettin' cleaner, gettin' older, gettin' meaner
Ain't it a wonder what lovin' a woman can do
And I love you
Just because I want to
Just because I need to, baby
Just because you want me too
Chorus:
Baby, you want me too
I never ever had it so good
I knew when you kissed me, you couldn't resist me
Baby, You're a dream come true
2nd Verse:
Gonna be nice, act right, hold my temper real tight
Ain't no one gonna make me come undone
Gonna tease you, gonna squeese you
Gonna do my best to please you
Ain't no tellin' just what in the world I would do
Cause I love you
Just because you love me
Just because you need me, baby
Just because you want me too
Chorus:
Baby, you want me too
I never ever had it so good
I knew when you kissed me, you couldn't resist me
Baby, You're a dream come true

TOO MANY TEARS
Hal Newman
Chorus: Too many tears
I've seen too many tears
Falling from your eyes, baby
Making me realize, baby
That our love may be wrong
And that I should be gone
Girl I live with these fears
I've seen too many, too many, too many tears.
1st verse: I want your love more than anything
I need the joy that your smile can bring
Please understand -
That I live for your kiss and the touch of your hand
But then every time that we make love
There's a ghost of a man there, that you think of
And I don't have to look to see
The tear in your eyes as you lie next to me - I've seen...
(Chorus)
2nd verse: I'm gonna keep on tryin'
I'm gonna keep relyin'
On the words that you say
And the warm and tender special way
That you make me feel like I'm part of a plan
Make me feel like a satisfied man
And so I stay
And I'm gonna be here til you drive me away - with your...

Rock And Roll Angel
Rachel Newman
1st Verse:
You got eyes that would rival the stars in the night
Lips that bring me pure delight
And when you whisper in my ear
It makes the whole world disappear
You got a smile that would melt the hardest heart
But every time the music starts
You spread your wings and fly away
Chorus:
Rock and Roll Angel, where are you goin'
Did you come from far away in time
What's your hurry, Won't you stay and say you'll be mine
Rock and Roll Angel
2nd Verse:
I can smell the scent of sweet perfume
The moment you walk in the room
And in the air is a melody
That no one hears but you and me
Then we dance and the lights burn low
It's yesterday and long ago
When you take me in your arms and fly away
Chorus:
Rock and Roll Angel, where are you goin'
Did you come from far away in time
What's your hurry, Won't you stay and say you'll be mine
Rock and Roll Angel

King of the Blues
H. Newman
1st verse: King of the Blues, oh baby
That's what you made me
Yes, I cry at night and even call your name.
Sometimes for days I go through
Sorrow and pain all for you that's why I'm the king,
King of the Blues.
Chorus: My kingdom is callin'
So I'd better get crawlin'
Back to the shadows
Where no one knows but me.
And I can't forget it
It's my latest news
You crowned me the King of the Blues.
2nd verse: King of the Blues, I wonder
What kind of spell you put me under
I'm so wrapped-up in where we began and ended.
And I did you wrong, now honey,
I wish I could tell you the truth, I'm so lost
I'm the King of the Blues.

Who Sez?
Hal Newman
1st verse: They say that Music City is a country town
That New York and L.A. have got the rock nailed down
Now I hate to have to open my meddlin' mouth
But that rock they are rollin' came from down in the South
Chorus: Who sez - we can't rock and roll in Nashville?
Who sez - we can't cut no R&B here?
Who cares - what who sez anyway
We're gonna keep rockin' til the break of day.
2nd verse: Well, I tried to sound country in a Nashville bar
I even traded my horns for a steel guitar
But I never felt natural crossin' over the line
So I finally gave up tryin'.
(Chorus)
3rd verse: Lately I been hearin' down on Music Row
All the bands with they plans for they Rock and Roll
I'm not gonna be the one to spoil their fun
But this war we're wagin' has just begun
