Todd Rundgren - Medley: I'm So Proud / Ooh Baby Baby / La La Means I Love You / Cool Jerk Lyrics






You're prettier than all the world
And I'm so proud, I'm so proud, I'm so proud of you
'Cause you're only one fellow's girl
I'm so proud, I'm so proud, I'm so proud of you
I'm so proud of being loved by you
And it would hurt, hurt to know,
If you ever were untrue, yeah
Sweeter than the taste of a cherry so sweet
Yeah, and I'm so proud, I'm so proud,
I'm so proud of you
Compliments to you from all the people we meet
Yes babe and I'm so proud, I'm so proud,
I'm so proud of you
I'm so proud of being loved by you

I did you wrong
My heart went out to play
But in the game I lost you
What a price to pay
I'm crying - ooh baby, baby

Mistakes
I know I've made a few
But I'm only human
You've made mistakes too
I'm crying - ooh, baby, baby

I'm just about at
The end of my rope
But I can't stop trying
I can't give up hope

'Cause I believe
One day I'll hold you near
Whisper I still love you
Until that day is here
I'm crying - ooh baby, baby

Many guys have come to you
With a line that wasn't true
And then you pass them by
Now you're in the center ring
And their lies don't mean a thing
Why won't you let me try
Now I don't have a diamond ring
I don't even know a song to sing
All I know is La La means
I love you

If I ever saw a girl
That I needed in this world
You are the one for me
Let me take you in my arms
And fill you with my charms
I'm sure that you will see
The things I am saying are true
And the way that I say them to you
Can't you hear me, La La means
I love you

Cool jerk, cool jerk, cool jerk, cool jerk
This cat they're talking about
I wonder who could it be
'Cause I know I'm the heaviest cat
The heaviest cat you ever did see
When you see me walking down the street
And they clapping and they speak
All the business they wish to whisper it
But they know I'm the king of the cool jerks
Ah ha ha
Look at them guys looking at me like I'm a fool
Ah but deep down inside they know I'm cool
I said now,
I said now the moment of truth has finally come
When I was gonna do some, some of that cool jerk
All right, now I want to hear a little bit
Of the drums by himself here
All right, now I want to hear a little bit of
A bass with those eighty-eights
All right, now let's hear the organ player fall in
All right now everybody, I wanna hear you howl
Ah you're cooking, you're smoking
Come on people can you do it?

    Saw him perform “Liars” in Birmingham on a last minute invite from my older brother who first introduced me to Todd. I’d never heard any of the album previously, but he just blew us all away. Old fans dancing in the isles and out of their seats. Great night, cheers bro.

    Anthony Boerio: Anthony, "Cool Jerk" was by The Capitals, while "I'm So Proud" was by The Main Ingredient. You have a nice day.

    edwin santos im so proud is written by curtis mayfield for his band the impressions, main ingredient did a great version though

  15. R.... A....

    The cut between Oh Baby, Baby- La La, is just amazing. When music becomes magic.

  16. R.... ....

    I just looked at all the music Todd has produced. An amazing list of bands and albums he's worked on. And this medley is so fine.

    R.... ....

    50 years of Todd,* So much more than just one victory!

    R.... ....

    ooh OOH baby BABY. Listened for many years. Timeless.

  17. L.... F....

    Loved Todd for 40 plus years listening to his music from my bedroom in the UK #legend

  18. b.... l....

    This August & September, I attended 3 of Todd's Unpredictable shows. At 2, I was privileged to hear him sing "I'm So Proud" & "Ooh, Baby, Baby", followed by Marvin Gate's "I Want You". At the last show, I went up front by the stage & got.to not only enjoy the soulful performances, but watch the look on the faces of many fans. To say we were all enthralled, might be an exercise in understatement! Not always a fan of some of the song choices from the Unpredictable setlist; but these classics were performed to perfection, as were other fan delectables that are Todd-penned favorites.

    b.... l....

    Marvin Gaye. Sorry for the type, compliments of auto correct.

  19. L.... W....

    A true star -legend genius

  20. L.... A....

    Girls loved this -- always did, including back in the day: my day. But I always picked up the phonograph needle and skipped Cool Jerk. Doing the same now with the computer.

    L.... A....

    Lever Action I did the same thing, picked up the needle at “Cool Jerk”. How funny!

    L.... A....

    I did the same back in the day. I understand the 9/8 trip, but it just was so jarringly out-of-synch with the other three songs, which kinda hijacked the idea of a "medley," but, knowing Todd a little, maybe that was his intent. I do love the original of this by the Capitols. Fun song. Does sound like T.R. had fun doing it!

    L.... A....

    Todd has always seemed to have the ability to beguile and yet bewilder all at the same time.

    L.... A....

    I love Cool Jerk.

    L.... A....

    Cool Jerk saves the sublimely beautiful, romantic, gospel-y, utterly gorgeous schmaltz of what comes before from just being that. twist! Cannot express the emotional response this track stirs in me. And there's sooo many others. Sigh. Thank Todd!

  21. s.... s....

    0:00 - 2:49 I'm So Proud
    2:50 - 5:43 Ohh Baby Baby
    5:44 - 8:01 La La Means I Love You
    8:02 - 10:36 Cool Jerk

  22. p.... p....

    Laverly !

  23. E.... M....

    Man,I sang this in 77,all the girls melted

  24. C.... ....

    This version of "La La..." is just too good.

  25. M.... t....

    M.... t....

    Thanks for watch :)

    M.... t....
