        RUN-AROUND LOVER
        (Brian Wilson/Mike Love)

        Run-around, run around lover
        Run-around, run

        heard the legend of the lover's school
        And how he treated all the girls so cruel
        And I'm glad that you should come around
        But I'll be ready to put him down.

        (Here he comes)
        (Here he comes)

        I never knew a guy could be so cruel
        The way that he came up to me after school
        And I never knew a girl could be such a fool
        He broke my heart and the golden rule

        That lover (run-around, run-around)
        Run-around lover (run-around, run-around)
        He took me by surprise (run-around)


        Here he come
        Here he comes
        Here he comes
        Here he come
        Watch out
        Run away
        From run-around lover (run-around, run-around)
        Run-around lover (run-around, run-around)
        He took me by surprise (run-around)

        (Here he comes)
        (Here he comes)

        So take a lesson from a girl who knows
        Keep away from the places that a lover goes
        Unless you want to be another number
        To that run-around lover

        Run-around lover(run-around, run-around)
        Run-around lover (run-around, run-around)
        He took me by surprise (run-around, run-around)
        Well won’t you wave him goodbye (run-around, run-around)
        He took me by surprise (run-around, run-around)
        Well won’t you wave him goodbye (run-around, run-around)



        THINKIN’ ‘BOUT YOU BABY
        (Brian Wilson/Mike Love)

        (Thinkin’ about you baby)
        I lie awake in bed
        As thoughts go through my head
        Thinking of what I’ll do
        To make you love me too
        I hardly sleep a wink
        Just lie awake and think

        I’ll do anything you say
        (Thinkin’ ‘Bout You Baby)
        Anything to make you stay
        (Thinkin’ ‘Bout You Baby)
        Gonna let you have your way
        (Thinkin’ ‘Bout You Baby)
        Thinkin’ ‘Bout You Baby
        (Thinkin’ ‘Bout You Baby)

        It’s this way every night
        Til’ the dawn brings the morning light
        My days don’t last too long
        But my nights go on and on
        Even when fall I asleep
        My heart says with every beat

        I’ll do anything you say
        (Thinkin’ ‘Bout You Baby)
        Anything to make you stay
        (Thinkin’ ‘Bout You Baby)
        Gonna let you have your way
        (Thinkin’ ‘Bout You Baby)
        Thinkin’ ‘Bout You Baby
        (Thinkin’ ‘Bout You Baby)

        Sometimes it gets so bad
        Mostly when I’m feeling sad
        I’m alone without my guy
        And the tears come to my eyes
        But I know when it gets ligh)
        Everythings going to be alright

        I’ll do anything you say
        (Thinkin’ ‘Bout You Baby))
        Anything to make you stay
        (Thinkin’ ‘Bout You Baby)
        Gonna let you have your way
        (Thinkin’ ‘Bout You Baby))
        Thinkin’ ‘Bout You Baby)
        (Thinkin’ ‘Bout You Baby))
        (Thinkin’ ‘Bout You Baby)
        (Thinkin’ ‘Bout You Baby))

        (Brian Wilson)

        A-wop, a-wop, a-what I'd do, woah, wop, a-wop, a-what I'd do
        Woah, wop, a-wop, a-what I'd do, woah, wop, a-wop, a-what I'd do

        I used to think I was the all-time guy now
        I used to put down every girl that came by
        I thought I was cool now to treat 'em all mean
        But I'll be sweet to my Pamela Jean

        Woah yeah (wop, a-wop, a-what I'd do)

        Oh oh oh oh oh (wop a-wop a-what I'd do)

        I know this town like the palm of my hand now
        I've cruised every strip and every hamburger stand  now
        It really don't matter baby what I've seen
        'Cos I've found a girl named Pamela Jean

        A-wop, a-wop, a-what I'd do, woah, wop, a-wop, a-what I'd do
        Woah, wop, a-wop, a-what I'd do, woah, wop, a-wop, a-what I'd do

        Oh, Pamela Jean, Pamela Jean, Pamela Jean, Pamela Jean

        I never had a steady girl now for more than a day
        I get a good thing going then I throw it away
        I gotta settle down if you know what I mean
        And I'm gonna stick toh my Pamela Jean

        Woah yeah (wop, a-wop, a-what I'd do)
        Woah oh oh oh oh (wop a-wop a-what I'd do)

        AFTER THE GAME
        (Brian Wilson)

        (Instumental)

        THE ONE YOU CAN’T HAVE
        (Brian Wilson)

        Jerry treats me nice, now, wherever we go
        Brian's awful sweet to me
        Bob is such a doll when he looks in my eyes
        Larry keeps me company
        Gary wants to buy me a diamond ring
        And Johnny says for me he'd do anything
        But the one you can't have is the one that you want the most

        It's so true now
        They spend all their money like it grows on trees
        They all promise you the world
        They make you feel important as a girl should feel
        They tell you you're the only girl
        They're all puttin' out the latest show for you
        They're even at each other's throats for you
        But the one you can't have is the one that you want the most

        Human nature, why did you make it this way
        Everyone but the one I love makes a play for me

        Never had trouble gettin' guys around me
        I've never been without a boyfriend
        I always had 'em playing to get nice with me
        I keep 'em guessin' to the end
        But the love of my life is really there alone
        And the only time things have ever gone wrong
        But the one you can't have is the one that you want the most
        But the one you can't have is the one that you want the most
        But the one you can't have is the one that you want the most
        But the one you can't have is the one that you want the most


        GUESS I’M DUMB
         (Brian Wilson/Russ Titleman)

        The way I act don't seem like me
        I'm not on top like I used to be
        I'll give in when I know I should be strong
        I still give in even though I know it's wrong, know it's wrong
        I guess I'm dumb but I don't care

        And breaking off wasn't hard to do
        But I couldn't stay away from you
        I feel love but not the way I did before
        This time girl, has got to be forever more, ever more
        I guess I'm dumb but I don't care

        And baby since we've been apart
        Maybe I've found I had a heart
        I couldn't let go even if I wanted to
        You must know baby now it's only you, only you
        I guess I'm dumb but I don't care


        HE’S A DOLL
        (Brian Wilson)

        Well he’s not very tall but he’s not too short
        (He’s just the right guy)
        And with his sandy blond hair and his great big smile
        (Oh what a sight now)
        Why he’s a such a doll
        (He’s a doll, he’s a doll he’s a living doll)
        He’s so gorgeous
        (He’s a doll, he’s a doll he’s a living doll)
        What a guy now
        (He’s a doll, he’s a doll, he’s a doll)


        He drives a broken down car but he keeps it clean
        (He’s awful proud now)
        And when he meets me after school and he takes me home
        (I’m on a high now)
        Why he’s a such a doll
        (He’s a doll, he’s a doll he’s a living doll)
        He’s so gorgeous
        (He’s a doll, he’s a doll he’s a living doll)
        What a guy now
        (He’s a doll, he’s a doll, he’s a doll)


        His personality flaws make him twice as neat
        (As all the other guys)
        And he gets kind of moody but I’ll never trade him
        (For another guy)
        Why he’s a such a doll
        (He’s a doll, he’s a doll he’s a living doll)
        He’s so gorgeous
        (He’s a doll, he’s a doll he’s a living doll)
        What a guy now
        (He’s a doll, he’s a doll, he’s a doll)

        (He’s a doll, he’s a doll he’s a living doll)
        What a guy now

        (He’s a doll, he’s a doll he’s a living doll)
        He’s so gorgeous

        (He’s a doll, he’s a doll he’s a living doll)
        He’s so gorgeous


        (He’s a doll, he’s a doll he’s a living doll)

        What a guy now
        (He’s a doll, he’s a doll he’s a living doll)
        He’s so gorgeous
        (He’s a doll, he’s a doll he’s a living doll)
        What a guy now
        (He’s a doll, he’s a doll he’s a living doll)
        He’s so gorgeous
