Eddie Cochran
well the party is through, we said our good-byes
we had a good time, yet there's tears in my eyes
oh, what can it be, what's the matter with me
you left me half loved
we stood in the dark and you held my hand
why were you afraid, i can't understand
i wanted your kiss, but it's always like this
you left me half loved
well you hold me close, everytime we danced
am i a fool, to think that i had a chance
to hope, you see, i'm your big romance
baby that's why i'm in the dark
oh-oh-oh-oh, my friends have all said
to love you is wrong
they say you're too young, but i'll string along
someday you'll wake up and then i'll make up
for bein' half loved
