The Platters

Some people say man's made out mud,

Well, a good man's made out of muscle and blood,

Muscle and blood, and skin and bones,

And mind that's weak and the back that's strong.

You load 16 tons,

And what do you get?

Another day older,

And deeper in debt.

Saint Peter, don't you call me,

Cause I can't go,

I owe my soul to the company store.

Only you can make, oh, this world seem right,

Only you can make the darkness bright,

Only you and you alone can thrill me like you do,

And fill my heart with love for only you.

Deepening shadows gather splendor as day is done,

Fingers of night will soon surrender the setting sun,

I count the moments darling till you're here with me,

Together at last at twilight time.

Only because you're gentle,

Only because you're sweet,

I grow so sentimental,

Anytime that we meet.

Only because you're smiling,

When others seem to frown...

Strange how my heart keeps smiling,

Only when you're around.

If you see me coming, you better step aside,

A lot of men didn't and a lot of men died.

My one fist is iron, the other one's steel,

And if the left don't getcha, then the right one will.

Only you can make, oh, this change in me,

For it's true — you are my destiny.

When you hold my hand I understand the magic that you do

You're my dream come true, my one and only you.

They said someday: «You'll find,

All who love are blind.

Oh, when your heart's on fire,

You must realize smoke gets in your eyes».
