I said it before and I'll Say it Again

Kate's done a snarky parody to Love Will Keep Us Together. I'm spinning into the summer of 1975 ...

We were lifeguards at the UCDavis Rec Pool. Whenever that song came on, we'd jump up on our lifeguard stands and sing and dance. Beth Wolfe had a Jaclyn Smith Charlie's Angels white bikini. Merrilee Milmoe was the fantasy girl of every guy in the Athletic Department because of the beige leotard and tights she would wear in the halls of the Hickey gym waiting for her tap dancing class (from a distance, she looked nekkid) and although I wasn't aware of it at the time, there were probably a couple of fellas who had a secret plan for me.

For more info on the secret plan, scroll down to Dr. Monkeystein's comments on January 6, 2004.



Love Will Keep Us Together
The Captain & Tennille
(N.Sedaka/H.Greenfield)

Love, love will keep us together
Think of me babe whenever
Some sweet talkin' girl comes along, singin' a song
Don't mess around, you just gotta be strong

Just stop, 'cause I really love you
Stop, I been thinkin' of you
Look in my heart and let love keep us together

You (you, do do do) you belong to me now (do, do do do)
Ain't gonna set ya free now (do do do)
When those girls start hangin' around, talkin' me down
Hear with your heart and ya won't hear a sound

Just stop (stop, stop) cause I really love you (really love you)
Stop (stop, stop) I been thinkin' of you (been thinkin' of you)
Look in my heart and let love keep us together, whatever

Young and beautiful, but someday your looks'll be gone
When the others turn you off, who'll be turnin' you on
I will, I will, I will, I will be there to share forever
Love will keep us together
I said it before and I'll say it again
While others pretend
I need ya now and I need ya then

Just stop (stop) cause I really love you (really love you)
Stop (stop) I been thinkin' of you (been thinkin' of you)
Look in my heart and let love keep us together
Whatever (a-ba-da whatever)
I will (ever), I will (ever), I will (ever), I will (ahh)

(Da da da da, da da da da, da da da da)

You better stop (stop) cause I really love you (really love you)
Stop (stop) I been thinkin' of you (been thinkin' of you)
Look in my heart and let love keep us together
Whatever (a-ba-da whatever)
I will (ever), I will (ever), I will (ever), I will (ahh)

(Da da da da, da da da da, da da da da)
