1
Eddie's got one crazy eye
2
That turns him into a cartoon
3
When a pretty girl walks by
4
And there's nothin' here to do anymore
5
He sits on the stoop all day
6
Like there's something he's waiting for
7
C***-finger Louie picks up Eddie in the alley
8
He's got all those guys with him
9
From that town where they all look like Frankie Valli
10
They speak fluently blonde
11
From her legs to her cigarette
12
And Louie told Eddie that he'd fix him up
13
But he ain't come back yet
14
Well, you know
15
It's more trouble than it's worth
16
It's more trouble than it's worth
17
Oh Wild and the Only ones
18
Tell him where you are ---
19
Oh Wild and the Only ones
20
Tell him where you are
21
Tell him where you are
22
Zero quit school
23
And she lost her job again
24
And then her boyfriend beat her up
25
And now he won't let her in
26
So she's walking by his joint
27
In a black and blue dress
28
She looks at Louie who elbows Eddie who says
29
"don't tell me, lemme guess."
30
It's more trouble than it's worth
31
He's more trouble than he's worth
32
Oh Wild and the Only ones
33
Tell him where you are ---
34
Oh Wild and the Only ones
35
Tell him where you are
36
Well at first when it was this way
37
When they're the only ones
38
And you've got all these ideas
39
You never tell to anyone
40
There are always magnets
41
Pulling each of you there
42
Living every story you'd dare
43
To be the only ones
44
The only ones...
45
Oh, who are living it up
46
Oh yeah, we're living it up
47
Oh yeah, we'll be living it up
48
Oh yeah, we're living it up
49
Gotta be living it up
50
Oh yeah, we're living it up
51
Oh yeah, we're living it up
52
Oh yeah, we're living it up
53
Oh yeah, we're living it up
54
Oh yeah, we're living it up
55
Louie and Eddie found a reason then and there
56
Carried her over the bridges like fluttering pages they didn't care
57
In the terminal where dreams
58
Let so many tickets through
59
When strangers look in faces
60
And see somebody there they knew
61
You might meet me tomorrow
62
As all the lights are blooming green
63
And you're feeling a little lonely,
64
A little sad, a little mean
65
Remember a place
66
Inside of that hotel
67
Where you could do anything you want to do
68
You couldn't tell
69
If it's more trouble than it's worth
70
Ah, this is more trouble than it's worth
71
Oh Wild and the Only ones
72
Tell him where you are ---
73
Oh Wild and the Only ones
74
I'm waiting you could
75
Tell him where you are ---
76
Oh Wild and the Only ones
77
Why don't you tell him where you are?
