WHY Written & Composed by Michael Woodhead Copyright © 1969, 2021

Why do they shun and hurt me I who have brought them no pain I who have loved them Again and again I who have lived with them here

[Musical Verse]

Why do they shun and hurt me I who have brought everything I who have loved them And caused them to sing I who have been what they want me to be

Why do they shun and hurt me I who have done all I can I who have given them Help with my hand I who have lived with them here I who have lived with them here

WHY CAN'T I FIND MYSELF A GIRL Written & Composed by Michael Woodhead Copyright © 1969, 2021

I wonder where you've gone to now You're not around at home I think I'd better go inside And find out where you roam Why can't I find myself a girl Why must I wander o'er the world You've gone away today And left me here to stay Why can't I find myself a girl

[Musical Verse] Why can't I find myself a girl

I wander through the green-grassed hills To places far away I always think about you, dear Today and every day Why can't I find myself a girl Why do I watch the seas unfurl I need your love so bad You left my heart unclad Why can't I find myself a girl

DARKNESS OF THE DAWN Written & Composed by Michael Woodhead Copyright © 1969, 2021

What has happened? Where is the sun? There's no daylight, I've got to run. What has happened? Where can I be? The darkness of the dawn has closed upon me.

(Musical Verse)

What has happened? Why am I here? Where is my sweetheart; is this a tear? What has happened? Why should I care? The darkness of the dawn has filled the night air.

(Musical Verse)

What has happened? What is your name? All that's about me isn't the same. What has happened? Where is my sight? The darkness of the dawn has closed on me tight.

WITH NONE BESIDE ME Written & Composed by Michael Woodhead Copyright © 1972, 2021

I walk alone I sit at home I cry at night Nothing is right But I still walk with none beside me And I still talk with none beside me And I still cry, cry, cry at night

I'm not afraid I will be brave Though it's the end I still have friends But I still walk with none beside me And I still talk with none beside me And I still cry, cry, cry at night

DAUGHTER OF LONELINESS Written & Composed by Michael Woodhead Copyright © 1969, 2021

She's the daughter of loneliness As she strolls the streets alone at night She has no one to love her She has no one to care for her She has no one to hold her tight She's the daughter of loneliness

She's the daughter of loneliness As she weeps sweet tears alone at home She has no one to love her She has no one to care for her She has no one to hold her tight She's the daughter of loneliness

She's the daughter of loneliness As she walks along the streets so late She has no one to love her She has no one to care for her She has no one to hold her tight She's the daughter of loneliness

She's the daughter of loneliness As she heads towards the riverside She slowly enters into it She sinks without a cry As the water caresses her lovely brow She's the daughter of loneliness

SECOND BEST Lyrics by Patricia Ann Eeckeleers Music by Michael Woodhead Copyright ©1970, 2021

Second best Second best Not as good as all the rest Second best, I'm second best again

When I come, they all run They don't think I'm any fun Cause what fun could a second best be

Second best Second best Not as good as all the rest Second best, I'm second best again

What was alive when I arrive Suddenly all seems to die For who would go on living with a second best

[Musical Chorus]

What would they say if I should stay I'm sure they would all turn away For what hope could there be for a second best

Second best Second best Not as good as all the rest Second best, I'm second best again

SECOND CHANCE Written & Composed by Michael Woodhead Copyright ©1965, 2021

I know I've been untrue But, you know what to do Baby, give me a second chance Baby, give me a second chance

I know that I'm to blame That's why you're so ashamed Baby, give me a second chance Baby, give me a second chance

[SPOKEN] Forgive the thing I've done When I made that mistake For heaven's sake Baby, give me a second chance Baby, give me a second chance

Now that we're here alone I know that I'll atone Baby, give me a second chance Baby, give me a second chance

I've tried most everything Now, to me you must cling Baby, give me a second chance Baby, give me a second chance

STANDING, WAITING, CRYING Written, Composed, Arranged & Performed by Michael Woodhead Copyright ©1966, 2021

In the station on that lonely night It was the last time that I held you tight Now I am standing, waiting, crying for you

In the station when I kissed your lips I would touch no more your fingertips And I'm standing, waiting, crying for you

Why did you go I really loved you so And if you're ever feeling alone Just come back home to me

In the station, I will wait for you I promise I won't have somebody new I won't be standing, waiting, crying for you

(Musical Chorus)

In the station, I will wait for you I promise I won't have somebody new I won't be standing, waiting, crying for you

But, I don't care I've got my dreams And yet, it seems I'm really alone

I'm a stranger in this school I've got no friends to talk to me No one to make me happy As happy as can be

But, I don't care I've got my dreams And yet, it seems I'm really alone

Here I sit and dream of her And there she'll always be Deep inside my brain to see The pain she's brought to me

HIM Written, Composed, Arranged & Performed by Michael Woodhead Copyright 1967, 2021

Don't talk to him Don't walk with him He's not your kind He'll be untrue Leave you behind And say adieu

Don't stay with him Don't play with him It's such a crime To see you there I know sometime He can't repair

The pain And it's a shame To see your name Beside his own Instead of mine

Don't cry for him Don't lie with him He's not a man It's not his place What we began He can't erase

The pain And it's a shame To see your name Beside his own Instead of mine
