CHERRY, CHERRY
Written by Neil Diamond
Baby loves me
Yes, yes she does
Ah, the girl's outta sight, yeah
Says she loves me
Yes, yes she does
Gonna show me tonight, yeah
She got the way to move me, Cherry
She got the way to groove me
She got the way to move me
She got the way to groove me
Tell your mamma, girl, I can't stay long
We got things we gotta catch up on
Mmmm, you know
You know what I'm sayin'
Can't stand still while the music is playin'
Y'ain't got no right
No, no you don't
Ah, to be so exciting
Won't need bright lights
No, no we won't
Gonna make our own lighting
She got the way to move me, Cherry
She got the way to groove me
She got the way to move me
She got the way to groove me
No, we won't tell a soul where we gone to
Girl, we do whatever we want to
Ah, I love the way that you do me
Cherry, babe, you really get to me
She got the way to move me, Cherry
She got the way to groove me
She got the way to move me
She got the way to groove me

CRACKLIN' ROSIE
Written by Neil Diamond
Cracklin' Rosie, get on board
We're gonna ride till there ain't no more to go
Taking it slow
Lord, don't you know
Have me a time with a poor man's lady
Hitchin' on a twilight train
Ain't nothing there that I care to take along
Maybe a song
To sing when I want
Don't need to say please to no man for a happy tune
Oh, I love my Rosie child
She got the way to make me happy
You and me, we go in style
Cracklin' Rosie you're a store-bought woman
You make me sing like a guitar hummin'
So hang on to me, girl
Our song keeps runnin' on
Play it now
Play it now
Play it now, my baby
Cracklin' Rosie, make me a smile
God if it lasts for an hour, that's all right
We got all night
To set the world right
Find us a dream that don't asks no questions, yeah
Oh, I love my Rosie child
You got the way to make me happy
You and me, we go in style
Cracklin' Rosie, you're a store-bought woman
You make me sing like a guitar hummin'
So hang on to me, girl
Our song keeps runnin' on
Play it now
Play it now
Play it now, my baby
Cracklin' Rosie, make me a smile
God if it lasts for an hour, that's all right
We got all night
To set the world right
Find us a dream that don't asks no questions, yeah
1970 Prophet Music, Inc.
Brought back some g-o-o-o-o-d memories, boy. 1972, I was 12 and completely in love with Neil. I know it was 1972 because that was the year the "Hot August Night" album came out & my sister, JoAnne, bought it. I shared a bedroom with my sister, Kathy, and at the time we had bunk beds set up as bunk beds. I had the lower bunk, and I pinned a photo of Neil from a magazine to the bottom of the top bunk. I'd lay in my bed and play that album over and over and over, while dreamily staring at that lucious hunk, Neil. Remember "Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon"?? He was singing to me. Me, personally.
But then later he went all Barry Manilow-ish and I totally got over him.
