Lou Reed - Crazy Feeling

And I seen those suit and tie johns buy you one drink

and then buy you some more, I had a

I know you had that crazy feeling

You know that I've had that crazy feeling, too

I can see it in your

You got that crazy feeling

Badfinger - Come and Get It

If you want it, here it is
Come and get it
MMM Make your mind up fast.
If you want it, anytime
I can get it
But you better hurry cause it may not last.
Did I hear you say
That there must be a catch?
Will you walk away
From a fool and his money?
If you want it, here it is
Come and get it
But you better hurry 'cause it's goinn' fast.

The Troggs ,found a suitable VDO coming with the song.

I want to spend my life with a girl like you,
Ba ba ba ba bah ba ba ba ba
And do all the things that you want me to,
