Hi Oldies Fans!!

I'M BAAACK...with the 31st flavor of the Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz (GOLQ).
Although tempted to make predictions, I think I'll quit while I'm ahead!!

After the 25 regular songs, there will be 2 tie-breakers.
These 2 songs will not be in the alphabetical mix with the other 25, but
will be alphabetized with respect to one another.  What these songs have
in common is that they were released prior to 1955; although the songs may
have been covered since then, I believe these early versions to be much
more well known.

There have been no changes to the general rules; beginning with this quiz,
the rules will appear at the end of the article.

Good luck to all those who respond!!

Oh, I know that I'm just a poor man
But is it wrong to love 'cause I'm not a rich man
But every time you mix love with money
Every time it hurts somebody
#01)

I have no kick against modern jazz
Unless they try to play it too darn fast
#02)

There ain't nothin' in the world like a big-eyed girl
To make me act so funny
Make me spend my money
#03)

Now baby, listen baby, don't you treat me this way
'Cause I'll be back on my feet someday
#04)

Your picture is always with me
I can still hear that same mournful song
And now I sit here crying
Please leave me alone
#05)

It will never die
It was meant to be that way
Though I don't know why
I don't care what people say
#06)

I remember the nights we dated
Always acting sophisticated
Talking 'bout high society
Ah, then she tried to make a fool out of me
#07)

My arms are empty
My nights are long and lonely
I miss her so
#08)

I remember what they said
Now I'm going out of my head
Telegram just had to say
You've learned your lesson all the way
#09)

First gear, it's alright
Second gear, a-lean right
Third gear, hang on tight
#10)

I can't help feeling gloomy
Thinking 'bout the loving I've missed
We pass on the street
My heart skips a beat
#11)

Tonight when we go out
I'm feeling so proud
Walking hand in hand
Down Lover's Lane
#12)

She smiled that same old smile
My heart was running wild
My love for her increases
As I go all to pieces
#13)

Offside and holding, yeah
You ought to be ashamed of yourself, baby
Offside and holdin', yeah
Holdin' on to someone else
#14)

You can be here by four thirty
'Cause I've made your reservation
Don't be slow, oh no no no
Oh no no no
#15)

Can't speed, we're in a slow-down zone
Baby, look at the clock, why can't it be wrong
If we coulda left home at a quarter to nine
Woulda had fun and plenty of time
#16)

He drove his car to the racing ground
He was the youngest driver there
The crowd roared as they started the race
'Round the track they drove at a deadly pace
#17)

Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I felt kinda seasick
The crowd called out for more
#18)

You're mine
Your kiss belongs to me
Yes, it belongs to only me
For eternity
#19)

I love her
She loves me
But I don't fit in her society
#20)

You lied to me before and I know
You'll lie, yes you'll lie
I know I'll be right
You lied, yes you'll lie again
#21)

There in the night was a wonderful scene
Mom was dancing with Dad to my record machine
#22)

If you think that no other woman wants him
Just pitch him out in the streets and you will see
Some woman will have your man
Before you can count one, two, three
#23)

Now once I was downhearted
Disappointment was my closest friend
But then you came and he soon departed
And, you know, he never showed his face again
#24)

If you don't want me
Don't lead me on girl
But if you need me
Show me that you love me
#25)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
tie breakers:

Yes maybe (maybe) she loves me (loves me)
But who am I to know
And maybe (maybe) she loves me (loves me)
But who am I to know
#TB1)

Hold me baby, squeeze me
Never let me go
I'm not taking chances
Because I love her, love her so
#TB2)

General Rules for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quizzes:

(These rules have been based upon those from Rick Schubert, David Griboff,
  Valentino Herrera, Barry Silk, Howard Teitelbaum, Ron Crandall, Carole
  Hanrahan & Jamie Lubin)

1) PLEASE READ THESE RULES FIRST!!

2) The songs are listed in alphabetical order by artist - as it
   actually appeared on the original 45 record.  When I don't
   have access to the original 45, my source is Joel Whitburn's 
   "Top Pop Singles 1955-1990" unless I have evidence indicating 
   that source is incorrect.  Songs should be alphabetized
   according to the following rules, unless I've made a mistake:

   Names beginning with "Mc" are alphabetized as if they were spelled "Mac".
   Names beginning with "St." are alphabetized as if they were spelled
   "Saint".

   Artists' names that begin with a number will be alphabetized using
   the word equivalent of the number.

   If a song has been done by more than one artist, the correct
   response will be the one that fits alphabetically.

   If a lead singer's name is used as part of the artist's name, the
   following alphabetization rules apply:
   - If the last name is used as in "Firstname Lastname & the Group"
     it will be alphabetized under Lastname.
   - If the last name is used as in "the Group featuring Firstname Lastname"
     it will be alphabetized under Group.
   - If the last name is not used as in "Firstname & the Group"
     it will be alphabetized under Firstname.
   - If no last name is used, but a nickname is used before the
     firstname as in "Nickname Firstname & the Group" is alphabetized
     under Nickname.

   For example:
   Artist                                        Alphabetized by
   "The Crickets featuring Buddy Holly"          "Crickets"
   "Buddy Holly & the Crickets"                  "Holly"
   "Little Anthony & the Imperials"              "Little"
   "Little Richard"                              "Little"
   "Little Peggy March"                          "March"
   "Martha & the Vandellas"                      "Martha"

3) Artists may be repeated from previous Golden Oldies quizzes.  An
   artist will not be used more than once in any given quiz.

4) Songs will not be repeated from previous Golden Oldies quizzes.

5) Songs WILL BE from the 1955-1969 only, of course!!

6) Songs are singles that hit the Top 100 on the American Pop Charts.
   Although most songs will have made the top twenty-five or so,
   expect a couple of songs in the quiz that will challenge the
   experts out there.

7) There are 25 songs to identify; each song is worth 20 points.
   Each Title is worth 10 points; each Artist is worth 10 points.
   A perfect score is 500 points.

   You should try to get as close as possible to the way it appears
   on the label; partial credit will be given for imperfect answers.

8) Append your answers to the lines that begin "#dd)", where "dd" are
   two digits.  You may delete the original lyrics or not; I will look
   for lines beginning with those 4 characters (possibly preceded by
   ">" and/or " ").
