It hurt me so bad
To see you cross the floor
Kissing her
You didn't see me
But I saw you and
It hurt me so
It hurt me so bad
When I tried to cry
To ease my hurt inside
But I tried in vain
'Cause the tears never came
I'm too hurt to cry
And too much in love to say goodbye
I tried telling myself
That you loved me and no one else
But each time I look across the floor
I'm just not sure
When I saw you hold her tight
With all my mind I tried to cry
To ease this hurt
This hurt inside
But I'm too hurt to cry
And too much in love to say goodbye
Although you hurt me so
I love you too much to let you go
And when you take me home
You'll never know
I saw you kissing her
I'll go on like nothing has happened instead
Some things are better unsaid
But if could cry
I wouldn't feel so sad
But I'm too hurt to cry
And too much in love to say goodbye
But I'm too hurt to cry
And too much in love to say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Funny how time changes
Rearranges everything
For instance how could I have known
That you'd be the only one for me
When you wanted me I didn't want you
And time changes things its true
'Cause now I want you
I want you
When you used to speak to me
I didn't give you a second look
'Cause I already had many guys
In my telephone book
But one day my heart spoke your name
My heart spoke your name
And time changes things its true
'Cause now I want you
I want you
Funny how times turns the tables
And left me yearning, my heart burning
For instance you just past me by passed me by
You didn't speak and I wanted to die
Now that I want you
You don't want me
And time changes things, it's true
You know I need you
And time changes things, it's true
I keep repeating, now
And time changes things, it's true
'Cause now I want you
It's so funny
Funny how time changes
Funny how time rearranges
It's so funny
Stay with me, baby
Till Johnny comes
He'll come one day, I know it
But he's having fun
He's out painting the world scarlet red
And he's left me alone to be blue
One day he'll come to take me away
From this love I've been sharing with you
Stay with me, baby
Please, stay
Till Johnny comes
Stay with me, baby
And hold me near
Just the way Johnny used to hold me
When he was here
'Cause when last he was here, we were kissing
And I thrilled to the way he spoke my name
When he thinks of the true love he's been missing
He'll be coming back to stake his claim
Stay with me, baby
Please, stay
Till Johnny comes
Since Johnny's been gone
You have dried all of the tears I have cried
Won't you stay here by my side
Till Johnny shows
And I'll tell Johnny he's come too late
Just how long did he think I would wait
And then stay with me forever
Won't you stay with me forever
After Johnny goes
Stay with me, baby
Forever and ever and ever and ever
Thou swell, thou witty
Thou sweet, thou grand
Wouldst kiss me pretty ?
Wouldst hold my hand ?
Both thine eyes are cute too
What they do to me
Hear me holler I choose a
Sweet lolla paloosa in thee
I'd feel so rich
In a hut for two
Two rooms and kitchen
I'm sure would do
Give me just a plot of
Not a lot of land
Thou swell, thou witty
Thou swell, thou witty
Thou swell, thou witty
Thou grand
I'd feel so rich
In a hut for two
Two rooms and kitchen
I'm sure will do
Give me just a plot of
Not a lot of land
Thou swell, thou witty
Thou swell, thou witty
Thou swell, thou witty
This can't be love
Because I feel so well
No sobs, no sorrows, no sighs
This can't be love
I get no dizzy spells
My head is not in the skies
My heart does not stand still
Just hear it beat
This is too sweet to be love
This can't be love
Because I feel so well
I love to look in your eyes
I love to look in your eyes
This can't be love
Because I feel so well
No sobs, no sorrows, no sighs
This can't be love
I get no dizzy spells
My head is not in the skies
My heart does not stand still
Just hear it beat
This is too sweet to be love
This can't be love
Because I feel so well
I love to look in your eyes
You see this guy
This guy's in love with you
Really?
Yeah, I'm in love
Who looks at you the way I do
When you smile I can tell
We know each other very well
How can I show you
Talk to me baby
I'm glad I got to know you now
I've heard some talk
They say you think I'm fine
Do you really think I'm fine
Yeah, I'm in love
And what I'd do to make you mine
Tell me now, is it so?
Don't let me be the last to know
My hands are shaking
Don't let my heart keep breaking, 'cause
I want your love
I need your love
Say you're in love
In love with this guy
If not I'll just die
Please tell me now, is it so?
Right now
Don't let me be the last to know
Oh, my hands are shaking
Don't let my heart keep breaking, 'cause
I need your love
I want your love
Someday we'll be together
Say, say, say it again
Someday we'll be together
Oh, yeah, oh yeah
You're far away
From me my love
And just as sure my, my baby
As there are stars above
I wanna say, I wanna say, I wanna say
Someday we'll be together
Yes we will, yes we will
Say, someday (some sweet day) we'll be together
I know, I know, I know, I know
My love is yours, baby
Oh, right from the stars
You, you, you posses my soul now honey
And I know, I know you own my heart
And I wanna say:
Someday we'll be together
Some sweet day we'll be together
Yes we will, yes we will
Someday (tell everybody) we'll be together
Yes we will, yes we will
Long time ago
My, my sweet thing
I made a big mistake, honey
I said, I said goodbye
Oh, oh baby
Ever, ever, ever since that day
Now, now all I wanna do is cry, cry
Hey, hey, hey
I long for you every night
Just to kiss your sweet, sweet lips
Hold you ever, ever so tight
And I wanna say
Someday we'll be together
Some day my prince will come
Some day I'll find my love
And how thrilling that moment will be
When the prince of my dreams comes to me
He'll whisper "I love you"
And steal a kiss or two
Though he's far away
I'll find my love some day
Some day when my dreams
Come true
Some day I'll find my love
Someone to call my own
And I'll know him the moment we meet
For my heart will start skipping a beat
Some day we'll say and do
Things we've been longing to
Though he's far away
I'll find my love some day
Some day when my dreams
Come true
Some day my prince will come
Somewhere waiting for me
There's someone I'm longing to see
Sadie, Sadie married lady
See what's on my hand
There's nothing quite as touching
As a simple wedding band
Oh how that marriage license works
On chamber maids and hotel clerks
The honeymoon was such delight
That we got married that same night
I'm Sadie, Sadie married lady
Still in bed at noon
Cracking my brain deciding
Between orange juice and prune
He says nothing is too good for me
And who am I not to agree
I'm Sadie, Sadie married lady
That's me
Sadie, Sadie married lady
Meet a mortgagee,
The owner of a ice-box
With a ten year guarantee
Oh, sit me in the softest seat
Quick a cushion for my feet
Do for me buy for me
Lift me carry me
Finally got a guy to marry me
Do my nails, read up on the sales
All day the records play
Then he comes home I tell him
Oh, what a day I had today
I swear I'll do my wifely job
Just sit at home become a slob
I'm Sadie, Sadie married lady
I'm Sadie, Sadie married lady
I'm Sadie, Sadie married lady that's me
That's who?
That's you!
That's me
Girls, gather 'round me
And hear the news
He finally kissed me
Oh, happy days
My heart's gotta shout it
I'll get my diary
And write about it
Well as your friends
We want to say
He'll break your heart one day
So you better run run run run run run
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh, but he's such a quiet kind of guy
How he thrills me, my oh my
Maybe it isn't true
What they say about him
Don't be fooled
By the shyness in his eyes
Don't you know
He's just a devil in disguise
So you better run run run run run run
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Well as your friends
We want to say
He'll make a fool of you one day
So you better run run run run run run
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
No no no
But how can I run away
When I love him more each day
So with him I'm gonna stay
I'll take my chances along the way
He won my heart from the start
From him I will never never part
I love him so, love him so
Never let him go
Every time he gets nearer
My love gets dearer, so much dearer
You know there's Dasher and Dancer
Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid
Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all?
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw him
You would even say it glows
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
"Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
You'll go down in history"
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
"Hey, Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
"Hey, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
I'm a sentimental sap, that's all
What's the use of trying not to fall?
I have no will
You've made your kill
'Cause you took advantage of me
I'm just like an apple on a bough
And you're gonna shake me down somehow
So what's the use
You've cooked my goose
'Cause you took advantage of me
I'm so hot and bothered that I don't know
My elbow from my ear
I suffer something awful each time you go
And much worse when you're near
Here am I with all my bridges burned
Just a babe in arms where you're concerned
So lock the doors and call me yours
'Cause you took advantage of me
I'm so hot and bothered that I don't know
My elbow from my ear
I suffer something awful each time you go
And much worse when you're near
Here am I with all my bridges burned
Just a babe in arms where you're concerned
So lock the doors and call me yours
'Cause you took advantage of me
You send me (Send me)
I know you send me (Send me)
Darling, you send me (Send me)
Honest you do
Honest you do
Honest you do
Ooh, you thrill me (Thrill me)
I know you thrill me (Thrill me)
Darling, you thrill me (Thrill me)
Honest you do

At first I thought it was infatuation
But, ooh, it lasted so long
Now I find myself wanting
To marry you
And take you home
Woo,
You send me (Send me)
I know you send me (Send me)
Darling, you send me (Send me)
Honest you do
Honest you do
Honest you do
Oh, whenever I'm with you
I know, I know, I know that I need you
You thrill me
Honest you do
Honest you do
Honest you do
I know, I know, I know you're with me
I know, I know, I know whenever I need you
You send me
Honest you do
Honest you do
When day is done and you come home
You shouldn't spend your nights alone
That's when you need me baby
To always know that someone cares
And love like mine should be shared
We'll see you'll need me baby
We'll build up dreams and memories
And maybe raise a family
So give your love to one who yearns
I'll promise true love in return
How can you be so blind
Can't you see you need me
If you should disappoint me
And refuse my love
I know my heart would die
'Cause you are my reason for living
My heart and soul I'm giving
Darling hear my cry
You need me
To me my love's sacred thrill
It's all for you and you alone
You see you need me baby
Though you may find another who
Might take your love and be untrue
You see you need me baby
Have you experienced in the past
One sided love affairs don't last
No need to take a chance at all
When I'm just waiting for your call
How can you be so blind
Can't you see you need me
Spread your sunshine in my life
Keep your sunshine in my life
Spread your sunshine in my life
Keep your sunshine in my life
I like the sound of rushing waters
(I like the sound of rushing waters)
It lets me know that something's free
(Oo-oo-oo-ooh)
I like the sound of children's laughter
The way I always want to be
And when the man deserve the world
Dare to make my bright skies grey
You take your little rays of sunshine
And sprinkled joy into my day
Ow! It's a real good feeling
Keeps me moving on
(Moving, moving, moving on)
You made me happy
(Moving, moving, moving, moving, moving on)
Keeps me moving on
(Moving, moving, moving. moving on)
Keeps me stepping strong
(Moving, moving, moving, moving on)
I like the glow of smiling faces
(Smiling faces)
It shows how good that life can give
(Oo-oo-oo-ooh)
I like to go to friendly places
(Friendly places)
It makes all of me want to live
And when the man deserves the world
And might dare to cloud my way
You spread your everloving sunshine, baby
And shine it bright on my parade
Ooh, it's a real good feeling
Keeps me moving on
(Moving, moving, moving on)
You made me happy
(Moving, moving, moving, moving)
Ow! (Moving on)
You keep me moving on
(Moving, moving, moving, moving on)
You keep me coming on strong
(Moving, moving, moving, moving on)
(Moving on) Keeps me
(Moving on) Keeps me, yeah
(Moving on) Keeps me
I'm gonna walk in the sunshine
And enjoy this world of mine
I'm gonna sing about the good life, baby
And how you brought me happy times
Ooh, ooh, keeps me moving on
Keeps me moving on
(Moving, moving, moving, moving on)
Ow! You made me happy
(Moving, moving, moving, moving)
Hey, keeps me moving on

(Moving, moving, moving, moving)
Hey-ey, you keep me moving
(Moving, moving, moving, moving on)
You keep me moving
(Moving, moving, moving)
You keep me moving, baby
(Moving, moving on)
What if you should come to me
One day and say you found somebody new
I know it might sounds strange
But I hate to be alone
And the more I think about it
The more desperate I become
Lonely, lonely me
I don't have any idea
As to where I would be, or what I do
Without you, baby, ooh
Why would it be so easy
That there'll be no rhyme or reason for living
If you should say we're through
(Ooo...)
When I look into your eyes
Sometimes you turn away from me
Oh, in the moment of closeness
My heart starts beating fast
But with him, it's not the same
I don't think it's gonna last
Lonely, lonely me
I don't have any idea
As to where I would be without you
Oh-oh-oh, why would it be so easy
That there'll be no rhyme or reason for living
If you should say we're through
Oh, tell me
Somebody tell me if it's a silly premonition
(Premonition)
Hey, that I got condemmed
From loving a girl like you, oh hey, hey
Don't put out the fire that burns
Can't you see how much my heart could yearn?
Lonely, lonely me
I don't have any idea
As to where I would be or what I do
Without you, baby, hey, hey, hey
Why would it be so easy
That there'll be no rhyme or reason for living
If you should say we're through
(Oh-oh-oh)
If you should say we're through
If you should say we're through
If you should say we're through
Lonely, lonely me
I don't have any idea
As to where I would be or what I do
Without you, baby
Hey, why would it be so easy
That there'll be no rhyme or reason for living
If you should say we're through
If you should say we're through
If you should say we're through
If you should say we're through
Lonely, lonely me
I don't have any idea
As to where I would be or what I do
Without you, baby
Hey, why would it be so easy
That there'll be no rhyme or reason for living
If you should say we're through
It seems we stood and talked
like this before
We looked at each other
In the same way then
But I can't remember where or when
The clothes you're wearing
Are the clothes you wore
The smile you are smiling
You were smiling then
But I can't remember where or when
Somethings that happen
For the first time
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before
And loved before
But who knows where or when
Somethings that happen
For the first time
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before
And loved before
We met one summer's day
We smiled and said our names
the way two people often do
He was Capricorn
And the love was born
Although he had a wedding vow
He loved me anyhow
The way two people often do
In a special style
We make love a while
And then he'd go
And I'd know
[Chorus:]
He belongs there
Where is it I belong?
He belongs there
Where is it I belong?
He belongs there
Where is it I belong? ...
And so at work each day
To friends I'd have to say
Our love would last forevermore
They don't know his name
How can I explain?
When they don't know
Like I know...
[Chorus]
I loved so willingly
Though he is killing me
With love that never will be mine
(never be mine)
I love you, he'll say (is that he'll say?)
In a special way (in a special way)
Then he goes home (he goes home)
And I know...
[Chorus]
He belongs there
Where is it I belong? (We met one summer's day)
He belongs there
Where is it I belong?
(We smiled and said our names)
He belongs there
Where is it I belong?
I'll admit that you've been
Playing with my heart
Just like it was a toy
And I've been playing along
And letting you treat me wrong
Because it seems to give you joy
Are you sure love is the name of this game
Are you sure love is the name of this game
For days on end you just stay away
Waitin' for my heart to weaken
It's like we're playing hide and seek
And I'm the one who's always seeking
Are you sure love is the name of this game
I wanna know
Are you sure L-O-V-E love is the name of this game
Well if everything's right
And uptight
How come the heartaches keep repeating
With every beat my heart is beating
Now can it be that you've been cheating
Cheating on me
Now how come you keep on
Telling me lies
Filling my life with sorrow
Don't know what to expect
From your affection
It's here today and gone tomorrow
Are you sure love, love, love is the name of this game
I wanna know
Rock-a-bye your baby with a Dixie melody
When you croon
Croon a tune
From the heart of Dixie
Just hang my cradle, Mammy mine
Right on the Mason-Dixon line
And swing it from Virginia
To Tennessee, with all the love that's in ya!
Weep no more my lady
Won't you sing that song again, for me
And sing it slow
Just as though you had me on your knee
A Million baby kisses I'll deliver
The minute that you sing the Swanee River
Rock-a-bye your rock-a-bye baby
With a Dixie melody
Rock-a-bye your baby with a Dixie melody
When you croon
Croon a tune
From the heart of Dixie
Just hang my cradle, Mammy mine
Right on the Mason-Dixon line
And swing it from Virginia
To Tennessee, with all the love that's in ya!
Weep no more my lady
Won't you sing that song again, for me
And sing it slow
Just as though you had me on your knee
A Million baby kisses I'll deliver
The minute that you sing the Swanee River
Rock-a-bye your rock-a-bye baby

It's hurting me, it's hurting me
This doubt is hurting me.
So remove this doubt
From my heart, little boy
And let me live my life
Knowing you care.
Remove this doubt
From my mind, little boy
And let me breathe again
Feeling my love you share.
Each time we meet
You make me feel so incomplete
There's no joy in the air
I just don't think you care.
Close the door of doubt forever more
And may it never more make me unsure
Turn the key and lock away this doubt in me
Keep it in the dark, not in my heart
Be more tender
Completely surrender your love to me
Be sweet and not discreet.
So remove this doubt
From my heart, little boy
And let me live my life
Knowing you care.
Remove this doubt
From my mind, little boy
And let me breathe again
Feeling my love you share.
Each time we meet
You make me feel so incomplete
There's no joy in the air
I just don't think you care.
Remove this doubt in our hearts
You and the night
Make a dream that I could never beat
You make reality seemed like a dream
With one kiss so sweet
I've give in quickly to any suggestion
If you wanna be with me over and over
Suggest it now, over and over
Caress me now closer and closer
Over and over again
Time and again by myself alone
With just a thought of you
I can't feel that joy that's only melt
By its trace and few
You just continue to thrill me
Even when you don't intend to over and over
Hmm, continuing over and over
Love, when you get closer and closer
Over and over again (again, again)
Round and round it goes like a caroussel
No sense fighting the feeling when I'm with you
There is nothing I can do
(Ahhhhhhh... ahhhhhhhhhhhhh)
I'm just give in to the beautiful changes
We've already been through over and over
Keeps happening over and over
You trapped me in closer and closer
Over and over again (again, again)
Over and over
Control me now over and over
Come hold me now closer and closer
Our day will come
And we'll have everything
We'll share the joy
Falling in love can bring
No one can tell me that I'm to young to know
Young to know
I love you so (love you so)
And you love me
Our day will come
If we just wait a while
No tears for us
Face life and wear a smile
Our dreams have magic because
We'll always stay in love this way
Our day will come
Our day will come
And we'll have everything
We'll share the joy
Falling in love can bring
No one can tell me that I'm to young to know
(Young to know)
I love you so (love you so)
And you love me
Our day will come
And we'll have everything
We'll share the joy
Falling in love can bring
Our dreams have magic because
We'll always stay in love this way
Our day will come
Our day will come
Ooowee baby
Honey baby, talk is cheap
So if you want my love to keep
Come and show me that you really care
Ooowee baby
Baby, come and kiss me quick
Come and smear all my lipstick
If you really want my love to share
Ooowee baby
Just one kiss from you is worth
All the talk there in on Earth
A million words don't equal just one touch
Ooowee baby
If your love is really real
Don't just tell me how you feel
If you really love me oh so much
Ooowee baby
You need more than words
In this situation
A kiss can do as much
To make communication
Cuddle me closer
And be real good conversation
So hold me tight, tonight's the night
Fill my heart with pure delight
Ooowee baby
Ooowee baby, ooowee baby
The words "I love you" just don't do
As much for me as just a few
Hugs and kisses every now and then
Ooowee baby
Now that I am in your reach
You don't have to make a speech
Just open up your arms and close me in
Ooowee baby
Only you can love me
Like you love me when you love me
Only you (only you)
Can touch me (you can touch me)
Like you touch me, ooh, when you touch me

Oh, come on, love me now (love me right now)
Come on, love me now (love me right now)
Come on, love me now (love me right now)
Come on, love me now (love me right now)
Spread your blanket here beside me
Lay your sweet love close by me
Take me places only love can send me
Fill the need I have within me
Talk to me (talk to me)
Of happy times (of happy times)
Soothe my body (soothe my body)
With peace of mind
Only you can love me
Like you love me, ooh, when you love me
(when you love me)
Only you (only you)
Can thrill me (you can thril me)
Like you thrill me everytime you thrll me

Come on, love me now (love me right now)
Ooh, come on, love me now (love me right now)

Till all of me half side is filled
Explode your sweetness (explode your sweetness)
Into my mind (into my mind)
Give me the love, all the love you can find
(give me the love)
Ahh...
Sweet love, sweet love
Sweet love, sweet love

He was only sixteen
Only sixteen
I loved him so
But he was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
We'd laughed at sixteen
And do little things
That makes my heart glow
But he was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
Now, why did I give my heart so fast
It will never happen again
But I was a mere girl of sixteen
I've aged a year since then
He was only sixteen
Only sixteen
With eyes that would glow
But he was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
Why did he give your heart so fast
It never will happen again
But you was a mere girl of sixteen
I've aged a year since then
He was only sixteen
Only sixteen
I loved him so
But he was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
He was only sixteen
Only sixteen
I loved him so
But he was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
Only sixteen
Only sixteen
Nothing you could say
Could tear me away from my guy (My guy)
Nothing you could do
'Cause I'm stuck like glue to my guy
I'm sticking to my guy like a stamp to a letter
Like birds of a feather
We stick together
I'm telling you from the start
I can't be torn apart from my guy
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
When it's cold outside
I've got the month of May
I guess you say
What in the world will make me feel this way?
My girl, talking 'bout my girl
No handsome face could ever take the place of my guy
I've got so much, so much, so much honey
That the bees envy me
I guess you say
What in the world will make me feel this way?
There's not a man today
Who could take me away from my guy (My guy)
I don't need money, fortune or fame
There's nothing you can buy
Could make me tell a lie to my guy
There's nothing you can do
Could make me untrue to my guy
I guess you say
What in the world will make me feel this way?
There's not a man today
Who could take me away from my guy (My guy)
My funny Valentine
Sweet comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my fav'rite work of art
Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
Don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine
Stay!
Each day is valentine's day
Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
Don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine
Stay, oh stay!
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crispapple strudel
Doorbells and sleighbells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses and blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on your nose and eye lashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
Then I don't feel so bad
Girls in white dresses
Blue satin sashes
Snowflakes on my eye lashes
There's a Christmas tree
In a window frame
Just inside my door
But my Christmas tree
Doesn't look the same
As it always has before
There's just one lonely present
Beneath my Christmas tree
'Cause the best little present
A girl ever had
Has gone away from me
Oh, my Christmas tree is not very big
In fact it's kind of small
Honey went, he picked 'em out
They always seem so tall
The lights don't seem so bright this year
It's hard for me to see
The smile that made my Christmas bright
Is gone away from me
I have been so lonely
Since you left me all alone
All I want for Christmas is
My baby back at home
oh, my Christmas tree's so sad and bare
My room's so big and cold
They wish me happy new year
But the new year is already on
There's no little angel
On top where it used to be
'Cause the angel
That made my Christmas right
Has gone away from me...
'Cause the angel
That made my Christmas right
Has gone away from me...
'Cause the angel
That made my Christmas right
Mr. Blues
You are my only companion
Since my baby's gone
Hey, Mr. Blues
You are my lonely companion
Since my baby's gone
How I wish you would go
Away and leave me
Oh, yeah
But I know if you do
I'll be all alone
'Cause you're the only guy
In this whole wide world
That I can call my own
Hey, Mr. Blues
Why did I take you and stay with me
But you've been here every day with me
Since my baby's gone
Oh, Mr. Blues
Although I don't want to hurt you
I know I have to desert you
If my baby comes
If my baby comes
If my baby comes
In our mountain greenery
Where God paints the scenery
Just three crazy people together.
Ooo, while you love your lover
Let blue skies be your coverlet
When it rains we'll laugh at the weather.
And if you're good
I'll search for wood
So you can cook
While I stand a-looking.
Ooo, beans could get no
keener reception in a beanery
Bless our mountain greenery home.
In the mountain greenery
(Where God) Where God paints the scenery
(Just us three) Just three crazy people together
(How) How we love sequestering
(Where no) Where no pests are pestering
(Pestering) No man holds us in a tether.
Mosquitoes here won't bite your ear
I'll let them sting me on my finger
We could find no cleaner retreat from life's machinery
Than our mountain greenery with its mountain scenery
Long gone lover
My baby is a long gone lover
My baby is a long gone lover
My baby is a long gone, long gone
Let me tell you that he's far far away
But I think about him every day
In my dreams at night I see his face
Ain't no other guy gonna take his place
I just kiss his letter
And I feel better
He's been gone for such a long long time
But you know I'm sure that he's still mine
Though the things people say are hurting me
They're tryin' to make me think
He's deserting me
I just kiss his letter
And I feel better
Long gone lover
My baby is a long gone lover
My baby is a long gone lover
My baby is a long gone, long gone
Long gone lover
My baby is a long gone lover
My baby is a long gone lover
My baby is a long gone, long gone
I got a letter from him just this afternoon
Telling me that he'll be coming soon
Whenever I'm down and feeling bad
Whenever my heart is feeling sad
I just kiss his letter
And I feel better
Long gone lover
My baby is a long gone lover
My baby is a long gone lover
Set the table
Supper's done
Candlelight and wine for one
'Cause little Miss Loser
Lost again
Christmas eve
You waited for
But all your dreams stayed
In the store, yes
Little Miss Loser
Lost again
Aren't you the same child
Who had those tears in your eyes
Why were you the only kid in town
Who bought a box of cracker jacks
And didn't get a prize
Even then the world put you down
Cinderella, found her knight
Love protected Miss Snow White while
Prince charming where have you been
Come on in
When I was very young
The world was younger than I
As merry as a carousel
The circustent was strong
With every star in the sky
Above the ring I loved so well
Now the young world has grown old
Gone are the tinsle and gold
Sit there and count your fingers
What can you do?
Oh girl you're through
All you can count on are your fingers
Unlucky little girl blue
Sit there and count the raindrops
Falling on you
It's time you knew
All you can count on are the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue
No use oh girl
You may as well surrender
Your hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
Little bright star keep shining
When he was born long ago on Christmas night
Above his head a little star was shining bright
The wise men followed that light above.
Little bright star lead us today to his love
Little church bells keep ringing
Little church bells keep ringing.
Little church bells ringing out at Christmas time
Reminding us that the star of love still shines
Not just at Christmas but every day.
Little bright star, you're there to show us the way
Little bright star keep shining
Little bright star keep shining.
Oh little star shining over every land
Just keep on glowing so the world can understand
The joy of Christmas comes from within.
Little bright star, please keep on shining for all means
Keep on shining, keep on shining
Little bright star keep shining
Let's take a boat to Bermuda
Let's take a plane to Saint Paul
Let's take a powder to Boston for chowder
Let's get away from it all
Let's go again to Niag'ra
This time we'll look at the Fall
Let's leave our hut, dear
Get out of our rut
Can you feel, can you feel, can you feel
Can you feel the heat
Don't it make, don't it make
Don't it make you wanna move your feet (oo-weee)
Feel what I'm feeling
Feel what I'm feeling (owwww-ooohhh!)
A time to worry
A time for sleep
A time to laugh
A time to weep
But right now it's party time
Get on down relax your mind
Don't let the wheel fall off the wagon
And catch you with your whole life dragging
Let yourself go
Hey, feel what I'm feeling
I'm feeling good I'm feeling loose
Ooooh, kick off your shoes and stay awhile
Just hang loose
I like your style
A time to go
A time to stay
A time to work
And a time to play
Don't be no fool and blow your stack
'Cause once you leave
You ain't coming back
Join right in with the finger popping
Party hearty til the whole joint's rocking
Let yourself go, hey-ey!
Feel what I'm feeling
Float like a feather
Get it together, Ooh!
When you hear the drummer
That funky beat
When you hear the rhythm
Loud and sweet
And you let yourself go

Let the music play
Just a little longer
Just a little longer
Let me hold him in my arms
A little longer
Make the music play
Just a little slower
Just a little slower
Let me hear his tender sighs
A little longer
Make the music play
Keep this magic going
Keep those trumpets blowing
All through the night
Don't ever skip a beat for

And if we were parted
I'd be broken hearted
Till he's in my arms to stay
Please let the music play
Make the music play
Just a little slower
Till he's in my arms to stay
Please let the music play
Let the music play
Keep this magic going
Keep those trumpets blowing

He may slip away
And if we were parted
I'd be broken hearted
Till he's in my arms to stay
Please let the music play
Let the music play
Just a little longer
Let the music play

Lazybones, sleepin' in the sun
How you 'spect to get your day's work done?
Never get your day's work done
I'm sleepin' in this noon day sun
Lazybones, lyin' in the shade
How you 'spect to get your cornmeal made?
Never get your cornmeal made
I'm sleepin' in this evening shade
When taters need sprayin', I bet you keep prayin'
The bugs fall off of the vine
And when you go fishin' I bet you keep wishin'
The the fish don't grab at your line
Lazybones, loafin' all the day
How you gonna' make a dime that way
Never make a dime that way
If you think you're all alone in the world
Carrying a heavy load
You wanted to search (You wanted to search)
Your heart to know (Your heart to know)
That you got someone right down the road
Just knock on my door
Knock on my door
Knock on my door
And I'll be standing there
If you're feeling pain and you're feeling shame
And you have nowhere to go
Don't despair, baby (Don't despair, baby)
I'll be there, baby (I'll be there, baby)
To solve them every blow
All you gotta do is knock on my door
Knock on my door
Knock on my door
And I'll be standing there
Pull aside your foolish pride
Hold your head up high
'Cause you've got someone on your side
That all the money in the world can't buy
Oh, just to know that there is someone else
Who will understand and care
We'll give you strength, baby, to carry on
And solve the problems that we share
Oh, just knock on my door
Knock on my door
Knock on my door
And I'll be standing there
(I'll be standing there)
You know I'll be there, baby
Knock, I'll be standing there
I'll be there, baby
Knock, I'll be standing there
How many roads
Must a man walk down
Before they call him a man ?
How many seas
Must a white dove sail
Before she can sleep in the sand ?
And how many times
Must the cannonballs fly
Before they're ever banned ?
The answer, my friend
Is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
How many years
Must a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea ?
And how many years
Can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free ?
How many times
Can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see ?
The answer, my friend
Is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
How many times
Must a man look up
Before he can see the sky ?
How many ears
Must one man have
Before he can hear people cry ?
And how many deaths
Will it takes 'till he knows
That too many people have died ?
The answer, my friend
Is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
The answer, my friend
Is blowin' in the wind
I'm in pieces, bits and pieces
Since you left me and you said goodbye
I'm in pieces, bits and pieces
All I do is sit and cry
I'm in pieces, bits and pieces
You went away and you left me misery
I'm in pieces, bits and pieces
And that's the way it'll always be
I'm in pieces, bits and pieces
You said you loved me and you'd always be mine
I'm in pieces, bits and pieces
We'll be together till the end of time
I'm in pieces, bits and pieces
Now you say it was just a game
I'm in pieces, bits and pieces
But all you're doin' is leavin' me pain
Time goes by and goes so slow
oh, yeah
It just doesn't seem true
Only just a few days ago
You said you'd love me, and you never make me blue
I'm in pieces, bits and pieces
Now you've gone and I'm all alone
I'm in pieces, bits and pieces
And you're still way up there on your throne
I'm in pieces, bits and pieces
But nothin' seems to ever go right
I'm in pieces, bits and pieces

And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
Age of Aquarius

Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind's true liberation

When the moon is in the seventh house
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars

I am woman, you are man
I am smaller so you can be taller than
I am softer to the touch
It's a feeling I like feeling very much
You are someone whom I admire
Still our friendship leaves something to be desired
Does it take more explanation than this?
I am woman you are man
I am woman you are man
Let's kiss
I am woman, you are man
I am gentle so you can be barbarian
I'm all pleats and pins and rouge
Mostly sham but ma'am
I love the subterfuge
Im am fiction I hope you are fact
Contradiction's what makes it a perfect act
Does it take more explanation than this?
I am woman you are man
I am woman you are man
With a child's heart
Go face the worries of the day
With a child's heart
Turn each problem into play
No need to worry
No need to fear
Just being alive
Makes it all so very clear
That's with a child's heart
Nothing can ever get you down
With a child's heart
You've got no reason to frown
Love, love is welcome
As a sunny, sunny day
No grownup thoughts
To lead our hearts astray
Take life easy
Easy like a child
So gay and care free
Yeah
Love, love is welcome
As a sunny, sunny day
The whole world smiles with you
As you go your own merry way
'Cause with a child's heart
Nothing can ever get you down
With a child's heart
Whisper you love me boy
Say the words you seldom say
You love me more
Each passing day
Whisper you love me boy
Just the way you used to do
When our love was true
It's been so long
Since you held me in your arms
Ooh, the joy it brings
Hearing you say sweet things
Whisper you love me boy
Make it sound soft and dear
Tender and sincere
Whisper you love me boy
Say it in your sweet way
The things I seldom hear you say
You used to say
You love me the most
But now you hardly ever hold me close
Whisper you love me boy
You won't believe it
You can't conceive it
You won't believe your eyes
Wait till you see him
See how he looks
Wait till you see him laugh
Painters of paintings
Writers of books
Never could tell the half
Wait till you feel the warmth of his glance
Pensive and sweet and wise
All of it lovely
All of it thrilling
I'll never be willing to free him
When you see him
You won't believe your eyes
Painters of paintings
Writers of books
Never could tell the half
Wait till you feel the warmth of his glance
Pensive and sweet and wise
All of it lovely
All of it thrilling
I'll never be willing to free him
When you see him

When you first gave it to me
Your sweet kiss of fire
The burning flame of love
Started mounting higher
Till it consumed my heart and soul
And like King Midas loved his gold
I wanted you alone to hold
And your kiss of fire
Your sweet kiss of fire
Your sweet kiss of fire
And then you took it away
Your sweet kiss of fire
Taking the thrill out of love
Killing my desire
I'm like a leaf without a tree
Like a fish without the sea
I'm as cold as cold can be
Without your kiss of fire
Your sweet kiss of fire
Your sweet kiss of fire
Please don't forsake me
After showing me the way to love
Just come on and make me
Warm as the sun that shines above
Bring it, bring it to me
Your sweet kiss of fire
Stop this hurt within me
Bring back my desire
It's you that I adore
I'll do anything you implore
If you'll just give to me once more
Your sweet kiss of fire
Your sweet kiss of fire
When I feel the walls start closing in on me
And I don't like where I've been to
Or where I'm gonna be
When I'm heading hard for hard times
And I know I'm nowhere bound
You turn me around, you turn me around, you turn me around----
You turn me around
(round and round, round and round)
Mmm, when the stray of daily living takes its toll
(stray of daily living)
And the crazy fears that haunt me begin to chill my soul
And I, I don't know what I'm fighting
I just know I'm losing ground
You turn me around, you turn me around, you turn me around----
You turn me around (Whenever I'm with you turns me around)
Just your head on my shoulder (my shoulder)
Just your eyes reaching into mine
Makes a little kid in me grow older
And before I know it, I'll step right back in time
And when I see the way the people carry on
When it seems that human kindness is all but dead and gone
Just the sight of you reminds me
Something good can still be found
You turn me around, turn me around, turn me around---------------
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oohhhhh, you turn me around
Lover of mine gone to a faraway land
Serving your country on some faraway sand
If you should get no name
Remember that your heart belongs to me
I'm sending you a picture
To carry with you all the time
So when you're feeling lonely
It's something to remind you
I'm thinking of you constantly
Remember that your hearts belongs to me, yeah
If a pretty girl should pass you by
I won't mind if you give her the eye
Or even if you give her a smile sometimes
But keep your heart because your heart is mine
Your heart is mine, your heart is mine
Lover of mine, if I could tell you how I yearn
For the day to come when you will return from far across the sea
So remember that your heart belongs to me, yeah
Remember your heart belongs to me
Far across the sea, but your heart it belongs, it belongs to only me
She's alright
I don't like you
But I love you
Seems that I'm always
Thinking of you
Oh, you treat me badly
I love you madly
You really got a hold on me
You really got a hold on me, baby
I don't want you,
But I need you
Don't want to kiss you
But I need you
Oh, you do me wrong now
My love is strong now
You really got a hold on me
You really got a hold on me, baby
I love you and all I want you to do
Is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
Tighter
I want to leave you
Don't want to stay here
Don't want to spend
Another day here
Oh, I want to split now
I can quit now
You really got a hold on me
You really got a hold on me, baby
I love you and all I want you to do
Is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
You really got a hold on me
I believe in everything you do
My heart and soul goes out to you
This world was made for boys like you
You never made me cry
You never told me a lie
You've been wonderful to me
Ooh, so wonderful to me
Oh, yes you have
Wonderful, wonderful
You're wonderful and kind
You're forever gently on my mind
Even in my sleep I have wonderful dreams
You're always there speaking sofly it seems
Telling me how much I mean to you
Oh, darling you're my dream come true
You're wonderful to me
So wonderful to me
Oh, yes you are
Some day I'll find the words to say
To let you know how much I appreciate
Your being true and loving me the way you do
There's a smile upon my heart
Knowing you'll never say you'll part
You've been so wonderful to me
So wonderful to me
Oh, yes you have
Wonderful
Wonderful to me
Wonderful
Oh, yes you have
Wonderful
You've been so wonderful
Wonderful
Ooh, I thought my life was happy
(Thought my life was happy)
I thought that I was fulfilled
Then you enriched my life (oh, what a change)
My whole new world was revealed
I never really lived (never really lived)
Till you show me how
You changed my whole life
Me heart knows it now
That you're, you're what's missing in my life
(In my life, in my life)
Darling, you're, you're what's missing in my life
(In my life, in my life)
I Had a hunger I never knew
Until we love and you fed it
Like the book with a missing page
Oh, I never knew it until you read it
I never really lived (never really lived)
Though I had good intentions
In just a few hours, you showed me new dimensions
You're, you're what's missing in my life
(In my life, in my life)
Tell the world that you're
You're what's missing in my life
(In my life, in my life)
You're what's missing (sweet love)
You're what's missing
In my life (sweet love), in my life
You're what's missing (sweet love)
You're what's missing
In my life (sweet love), in my life
Ooh, I never really lived (never really lived)
Till you show me how
You changed my whole life
My heart knows it now
Whoo!
You're, you're what's missing in my life (in my life)
Tell the world, tell the world
You're, you're what's missing in my life (in my life)
Every day in every way, darling
You're, you're what's missing in my life (in my life)
Every day, every day
You're, you're what's missing in my life (in my life)
Every day, every day, every day, every way
You're what's missing, baby, in my life (in my life)
I want to talk about it, believe me
You're nobody till somebody loves you
You're nobody till somebody cares
You might be king
You might possess
The world and all its gold
But gold won't bring you happiness
When you're growing old
The world is still is the same
You'll never change it
As sure as the stars shine above
You're nobody till somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody to love
You're nobody till somebody loves you
You're nobody till somebody cares
You might be king
You might possess
The world and all its gold
But gold won't bring you happiness
When you're growing old
The world is still is the same
You'll never change it
As sure as the stars shine above
You're nobody till somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody to love
Set me free, why don't cha babe
Get out my life, why don't cha babe
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on
You don't really need me
But you keep me hangin' on
Why do you keep a coming around
Playing with my heart?
Why don't you get out of my life
And let me make a new start?
Let me get over you
The way you've gotten over me
Set me free, why don't cha babe
Let me be, why don't cha babe
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on
Now you don't really want me
You just keep me hangin' on
You say although we broke up
You still wanna be just friends
But how can we still be friends
When seeing you only breaks my heart again
And there ain't nothing I can do about it
Woo, set me free, why don't cha babe
Woo, get out my life, why don't cha babe
Set me free, why don't cha babe
Get out my life, why don't cha babe
You claim you still care for me
But your heart and soul needs to be free
Now that you've got your freedom
You wanna still hold on to me
You don't want me for yourself
So let me find somebody else Hey!
Why don't you be a man about it
And set me free
Now you don't care a thing about me
You're just using me
Go on, get out, get out of my life
And let me sleep at night
'Cause you don't really love me
When I was down
And life was filled with emptiness
You gave me love
A tender love to take the loneliness away
Oh, happy days
That lifted darkness from my eyes
And made me see
The dawn of happiness arrive and bring to me
A special love
Just your touch
I feel such joy and ecstasy
Life is gay
Instead of pity and sympathy
You gave me love
Wonderful love
Sweet, sweet love
Like a child
I was helpless and alone
And so I cried
But you came and held me close
And dried my eyes
I'm satisfied
I feel content to know the
Heavens made you mine
'Cause here on earth
I never thought that I could find
Such a tender love
Like a toy
I just sat there on the shelf
Till the day that you came
To take me for yourself
And gave me love
Wonderful love
Thank you darling
Thank you honey
You gave me love
Bless the name
That I took with no regrets
For the years have come and gone
It's just like when first we've met
You gave me love
Wonderful love
Sweet, sweet love
I bless the day you came my way
You gave me love
Thank you baby
Bless you honey
Sweet baby
Wonderful love
Tender love
I'm satisfied yeah
You didn't care
Or you wouldn't have walked away
I realize now you must care less every day
Like a fool I gave you all my love
I didn't know
You didn't care
It's not too late
To reconsider or change your mind
If you want to
Only you can end this hurt in my heart
It's in your eyes
The way you look at me
They say our love now
Was never meant to be
I just cried
You looked at me and laughed
Then I knew, I knew
You didn't care
I just cried
You turned and walked away
Then I knew, I knew
Give it up, give it up
Give it up, give it up
I don't care what you say, baby
I'm gonna make you mine, yeah
Even if I had to steal you away
Ooh, she'll just have to step aside
Give you up and swallow her pride
'Cause I can't let anyone stand in my way
I'll never give you up (Give you up)
'Cause of pride, yeah
Gotta have all your love (All your love)
Even if it means die, yeah
You can't stop a girl in love
Not when my mind's made up
You can't stop a girl in love
And I sure love you, baby
Yes, I do
Can't stop a girl
Ooh, ooh...ooh...
Ooh... can't stop a girl
Baby
Ooh... can't stop a girl
If she looks the other way
(Ooh... can't stop a girl)
This just might be my day
To come and take you away for my very own
Oh...oh... (Can't stop a girl)
No matter what I had to go through
Baby, I'm gonna get to you
I got the will and I know I found a way
Hey, I always love you forever and ever
Ohh... baby
I'm gonna make it through
Till we're making love together
You can't stop a girl in love
Not when my mind's made up, no
You can't stop a girl in love
And I sure love you, baby
You can't stop a girl in love
Not when my mind's made up, no, no
No, no, no, no.. no, no
I need love, love
To ease my mind
I need to find, find someone to call mine
But mama said
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
You got to trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes
But how many heartaches
Must I stand before I find a love
To let me live again
Right now the only thing
That keeps me hangin' on
When I feel my strength, yeah
It's almost gone
I remember mama said:
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
How long must I wait
How much more can I take
Before loneliness will cause my heart
Heart to break?
No I can't bear to live my life alone
I grow impatient for a love to call my own
But when I feel that I, I can't go on
These precious words keeps me hangin' on
I remember mama said:
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes
No, love, love, don't come easy
But I keep on waiting
Anticipating for that soft voice
To talk to me at night
For some tender arms
To hold me tight
I keep waiting
I keep on waiting
But it ain't easy
It ain't easy
But mama said:
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said to trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
I got something to say that might cause you pain
If I catch you talking to that girl again
I'm gonna let you down
And leave you flat
Because I told you before
Oh, you can't do that
Well it's the second time I've caught you talking to her
And it's the second time I've caught you being unfair
I think I'll let you down
And leave you flat
Because I told you before
Oh, you can't do that
Everybody's green
'Cause I'm the one who won your love
But if they'd seen
You talking that way
They'd laugh in my face
So please listen to me if you wanna stay mine
I can't help this feeling I'll go out of my mind
You know I'll let you down
And leave you flat
Because I told you before
Oh, you can't do that, oh
Everybody's green
'Cause I'm the one who won your love
But if they'd seen
You talking that way
They'd laugh in my face
So please listen to me if you wanna stay mine
I can't help this feeling I'll go out of my mind
I'm gonna let you down
And leave you flat
Because I told you before
I thought that I had forgotten you
That you were just something of my yesterdays
But now that I see you standing here
All that I can say
Is let me tell you that
You bring back memories
Of all the days gone by
Apologies all of the times you lied
I recall when I used to be your girl
You used to be my guy
I thought that I had forgotten all these days
Think about these days
But let me tell you
You don't know how many memories
That you bring
Bringing back memories
Just a look at you
You don't know what you make me want to do
I want to take you in my arms and then kiss you once again
And then I'd like to ask you
Where have you been
I never thought that I would think about
These things
But let me tell you
You don't know how many memories
That you bring
Bringing back memories
Let me tell you
Let me tell you
Let me tell you I thought that I had forgotten of things
About how you looked at me
Just a look at you brings back the memories
You bring back memories
About the love we knew
D'ya think I was still in love with you
But that ain't true
I love you just like I used to do
I thought that I had forgotten all of these things
But let me tell you
You don't know how many memories
That you bring
Bringing back memories
Sweet, sweet, sweet memories
Memories
Sweet, sweet, sweet memories
You think you're so wayout
And you get all the action
But still you can't find no satisfaction
You specialize in playing the field
But now that the game
Has lost its appeal
Baby, try me
I'll make you see
You ain't livin' until you're lovin', babe
You ain't livin' until you're lovin', baby
Ooh, until you fall, you ain't livin' at all
At all
You like to kiss and run
And think that's where it is
'Cause somebody told you
Love was heartache and tears
You won't take a chance
On nobody else
You think you can make it
All by yourself
Baby, try me
And I'll make you see
You ain't livin' until you're lovin', babe
You ain't livin' until you're lovin', baby
Ooh, until you fall, you ain't livin' at all
At all
To be in love
I know it's not your ambition
So before you go
Think about my proposition
You may conquer the world
And be king of your throne
But you still ain't nobody, babe
When you're sittin' all alone
You ain't livin' until you're lovin', babe
You ain't livin' until you're lovin', baby
ooh, until you fall, you ain't livin' at all
At all
You ain't livin' until you're lovin', babe
You ain't livin' until you're lovin', baby
You ain't livin'
Ooh, try me
You ain't livin'
Ooh, I'll make you see
You ain't livin'
Oh, yeah how sweet
Yesterday,
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Suddenly,
I'm not half the girl I used to be
There's a shadow hangin' over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly
Why he had to go
I don't know
He wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday
Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh I believe in yesterday
Why he had to go
I don't know
He wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday
Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh I believe in yesterday
Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about science book
Don't know much about the French I took
But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be
Don't know much geography
Don't know much trigonometry
Don't know much about algebra
Don't know what a slide rule is for
But I know that one and one is two
And if this one could be with you
What a wonderful this would be
I don't claim to be an "A" student
But I'm trying to be
Maybe my being an "A" student baby
I can win your love for me
Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about science book
Don't know much about the French I took
But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be
But I know that one and one is two
And if this one could be with you
Sometimes we walk hand in hand by the sea
And we breathe in the cool salty air
You turn to me with a kiss in your eyes
And my heart feels a thrill beyond compare
Then your lips cling to mine
It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love
Sometimes we stand on the top of a hill
And we gaze at the earth and stars
I turn to you and melt in your arms
There we are, darling, only you and I
What a moment to share
It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love
The world is filled with wond'rous things, it's true
But they wouldn't have much meaning without you
Some quiet evening I sit by your side
And we're lost in a world of our own
I feel the glow of your unspoken love
I'm aware of the treasure that I own
And I say to myself
It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love
And I say to myself
It's wonderful, wonderful
Let them go, let them go
Let them try their wings
Little birds were born to fly
Not until they're home
And they miss their home
And it won't be long 'til Christmas
When the branches appear
That'll descent the air
Comes alive with frost and pine
And they'll yearn to be
By the family tree
Oh, it won't be long 'til Christmas
The years go by
And every night you'll say
Sweet dreams, sleep tight
Then there comes the day
You're forced to say
Don't forget to write
There'll be holly and popcorn and mistletoe
There'll be songs by the fireplace
Oh, it won't be long 'til Christmas
Let them go
Let them go
Let them go
Without a song
The day would never end
Without a song
The road would never have been
When things go wrong
A man ain't got a friend
Without a song
That field of corn
Would never ever see a plow
That field of corn
Would be deserted now
A man is born
But he's no good no how
Without a song
I've got my trouble and woe
But sure as I know
The Jordan will roll
I'll get along
As long as a song
Is strung in my soul
I'll never know
What makes the rain to fall
I'll never know
What makes the grass so tall
I only know
There ain't no love at all
Good morning world
How will today greet me
A single girl who needs a man
To love sweetly
A man to wrap his loving arms around me
Let me know that he's glad he's found me
I'll be his joy
Come on heart
Let's search for the boy
He's out there waiting somewhere
Tell me will this be the day
He'll come my way
You know, I comb my hair
While I run my bath
And I wonder where
Will he cross my path
Will I see him at the corner bus stop
The art museum or the market where I shop
He'll catch my eye
Come on heart
Let's go find the guy
He's out there waiting somewhere
Tell me will this be the day
Love will say
Now is the time
Here is the place
This is the hand
Here is the face
This is the man
Who set the pace
Your heart is beating
By and by and by
I know my day will dawn
That day when I will know before it's gone
Hey, what it means to have found that someone
Who can make up two hearts become one
Love can be found
Come on heart
Let's go look around
He's out there waiting somewhere
Tell me will this be the day
He'll come my way
Tell me that this is the day
I hope and pray
I hope and pray
That this will be the day
For so long we share each other's lives
Gave up everything to keep love satisfied
Baby, the air that I breathe you will take when you leave
All because of something small
Like the day I missed your call
I tried to get in touch with you
When I finally did, you said we're through.
Why must we fall in love to find out how to cry?
Build up trust, then tear it down, oh tell me why
When it takes so long to make it
And no time at all to break it off.
Then you walked away I just stood there numb
I had nothing to say
Into the night you walked away with my life
And feeling almost half my size
I looked up and the heaven's eyes
Smile was gone we used to see
She knew that you were standing there with me.
Why must we fall in love to find out how to cry?
Build up trust, then tear it down, oh tell me why
When it takes so long to make it
And no time at all to break it off.
One day up, then the next day down
Love will keep you going like a merry go round
(To keep you hurting, hurting)
You both tried night and day from the start
To keep your love from falling apart
(To keep you hurting, hurting)
Then all at once you left one out
And love walks out the door
You're searching baby, for something else
You'll never find that thing you have before
Why must we fall in love to find out how to cry?
Build up trust, then tear it down, oh tell me why
When it takes so long to make it
And no time at all
Why must we fall in love to find out how to cry?
Build up trust, then tear it down oh tell me why
Why must we fall in love to find out how to cry?
When I had you
I treated you bad
And wrong my dear
now since
since you went away
Don't you know I sit around with my head hanging down
And I wonder
Who is loving you
Life without love
Don't you know it's oh so lonely
I don't think
I don't think I'm gonna make it
Well my life
All my love I devote to you only
Come on and take it
Come on and take it
Because all
All I can do
All I can do since you've been gone is cry
And since, boy, since you went away
Don't you know I sit around with my head hanging down
And I wonder, who is loving you
Who could ever doubt my love?
Who could ever doubt my love?
I've been falsely accused
Of being untrue to him
And it's not so
But it's the way he's misjudged me
That really hurts me so
When I've been nothing but good to him
Forsaking all others
Giving my love to him
Who could ever doubt my love?
A victim of circumstance I have been
But what really hurts is
Instead of believing me
He believed his friends
When l've been nothing but good to him
Rearrange my life to please only him
Who could ever doubt my love?
Who could ever doubt my love?
I've been cast aside
Because he believed someone's lies
After I've done the best I could
Still I've been so misunderstood
After I've been good to him
Good to him, so good to him
Who could ever doubt my love?
Who could ever doubt my love?
Who can I turn to
When nobody needs me
My heart wants to know
So I must go
Where destiny leads me
With no star to guide me
And no one beside me
I'll go on my way
And after the day
The darkness will hide me
But maybe tomorrow
I'll find what I'm after
I'll throw off my sorrow
Beg, steal or borrow
My share of laughter
'Cause with you I could learn to
With you on a new day
But who can I turn to
If you turn away
With you I could learn to
With you on a new day
But who can I turn to
I'm dreaming of a white christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
Ooh, I'm dreaming of a white christmas
With every christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your christmases be white
Ooh, white christmas
Sleigh bells in the snow
Ooh, I'm dreaming of a white christmas
With every christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
When the work begins to pile up
And your temper starts to rile up
That's the time a fellow needs a song
Doctor, banker, butcher, baker
You can be a merry maker
If you keep on singing all day long
If you're hanging in suspense from eight 'till five
And you wanna keep the sense of humour alive
Just whistle while you work
Put on that grin and start right in
To whistle loud and long
Just hum a merry tune
Do your best, then take a rest
And sing yourself a song
When there's too much to do
Don't let it bother you
Forget your troubles
Try to be just like a cheerful chick-a-dee
And whistle while you work
Come on get smart, tune up and startin' whistle while you work
Hey Mary, come on, you look a little tired
I want you to try this
Golly, I'm chewin' bubblegum?
Hey Flo, come on it's your turn
Don't, come on
No, darling, I'm too busy digging this drummer
When there's too much to do
Don't let it bother you
Forget your troubles
Try to be just like a cheerful chick-a-dee
Hey, whistle while you work
Come on get smart, tune up and start to whistle while you
Hey Flo come on your turn
Mary?
You've been the road
That I've traveled on
You've been the light
That shines in the night
You showed me love
You taught me life (you taught me life)
Ooh, you taught me everything (all about love, baby)
Everything I know
But I never learned
Which way to turn
After you've gone
After you've gone, baby
Tell me where, where do I go from here (tell me)
Without you in my life in my nights (tell me, baby)
Tell me where, where do I go from here (tell me)
After you sheltered me for so long, baby (baby)
You've been the bridge
That took, took me acroos
Showed me the way (you showed me the way)
When I was lost
You took the time (you took the time)
You touched my mind (you touched my mind)
Ooh, come, sit down (whisper in my ear, baby)
Just once more
Talk to me
Ease my mind
Before you walk, (baby don't go)
Walk out the door (baby don't go)
Baby, where, where do I go from here (tell me)
After loving you for so long, darling
Tell me where
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, baby
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, baby (Tell me. Where? Tell me.)
Now tell me, before you leave (wait a minute, baby)
Leave this heart of mine
Please take the time to let me know (please take the time)
How do you teach me to let you go (baby don't go)
Well, where, where do I go from here (tell me)
After you sheltered me for so long, baby
Tell me where, where do I go from here (tell me)
When you're all that I nedd, all I want (tell me, baby)
Where, where do I go from here
Without you in my life in my nights (tell me)
Tell me where, where do I go from here
Baby, baby
Baby don't leave me
Ooh, please don't leave me
All by myself
I've got this yearning, burning
Yearning feelin' inside me
Ooh, deep inside me
And it hurts so bad
You came into my heart (baby baby)
So tenderly (where did our love go)
With a burning love (baby baby)
That stings like a bee (baby baby)
(ooh baby baby)
Now that I surrender (baby baby)
So helplessly (where did our love go)
You now wanna leave (baby baby)
Ooh, you wanna leave me (baby baby)
Ooh (ooh baby baby)
Baby, baby (baby baby)
Where did our love go?
Ooh, don't you want me (baby baby)
Don't you want me no more (baby baby)
Ooh baby (ooh baby baby)
Baby, baby
Where did our love go
And all your promises (baby baby)
Of a love forever more (baby baby)
(ooh baby baby)
I've got this yearning, burning (baby baby)
Yearning feelin' inside me (where did our love go)
Ooh, deep inside me (baby baby)
And it hurts so bad (baby baby)
(ooh baby baby)
Before you won my heart (baby baby)
You were a perfect guy (where did our love go)
But now that you got me (baby baby)
You wanna leave me behind (baby baby)
Ooh baby (ooh baby baby)
Baby, baby (baby baby)
Baby don't leave me (where did our love go)
Ooh, please don't leave me (baby baby)
All by myself (baby baby)
Ooh (ooh baby baby)
Baby, baby (baby baby)
Where did our love go?
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dream comes true
No request is too extreme
When you wish
As dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
When you wish upon a star
He gave me the eye
But I just passed him by
I treated him unkind
But he didn't seem to mind
I told him be on his way
But not a word did he say
He just stood there kind of bold
While I acted cold
But when the lovelight starts shining through his eyes
Made me realize I should apologize
And when he placed a kiss upon my face
Then I knew, Oh then I knew
That he won my heart
So I quickly apologized
Hoping he hadn't changed his mind
But not a word did he say
So I turned to walk away
But when the lovelight starts shining through his eyes
Made me realize how he felt inside
And when he placed a kiss upon my face
Then I knew, Oh then I knew
That he won my heart
When he asked could he walk my way
I hoped sweet things he'd say
Instead he smiled kind of nice
As he held my hand kind of tight
But when the lovelight starts shining through his eyes
Made me realize how he felt inside
And when he placed a kiss upon my face
Then I knew, Oh then I knew
That he won my heart
But when the lovelight starts shining through his eyes
Made me realize how he felt inside
Hi Berry,
This is Diane, this is Mary, Florence
And on behalf of everyone at Motown
We also wish to extend our congratulations
We couldn't get along without you
Just couldn't feel the song without you
Without your hand to guide our way
We'd all be lost somewhere in yesterday
We need your strength
We need your courage too
We need your constant faith to see us through
We couldn't get along without you
Just couldn't feel the song without you
You gave us hope when all our hope was gone
With wise and patient hands you kept hangin' on
When things were dark, You brought us shining light
Words cannot express the way we feel tonight
Berry, on behalf of the people at home
And the people all over this country
To whom you are a shining example
Our deepest congratulations
And of course our deepest love
We need you now more than before
Success is one thing, but you taught us much more
We couldn't get along without you
Just couldn't feel the song without you
The world should know the man inside
Who worked with courage and a deep sense of pride
Your strong and guiding hand has shown us the way
From those who love you most we just want to say
We couldn't get along without you
I'm gonna take your empty heart
And fill it with love until it's higher and higher
And when it's to the top still I won't stop, I won't stop
Giving you love (giving you love)
Oh, baby when it's to the top still I won't stop, I won't stop
Giving you love (giving you love, giving you love, giving you love).
Ooh, love brought you to me
You were in search of your destiny
A hurt deep in your empty heart
Walking along, your life torn apart
Reaching out, so full of doubt
Hoping someone would show the way.
So here's my hand
I'm searching too so I understand
You need someone to come and be the one
To take all your hurt away
So let me start to fill your heart
With all of the love you need
And when it's to the top still I won't stop, I won't stop
Giving you love (giving you love)
Hey baby, and when it's to the top still I won't stop, I won't stop
Giving you love (giving you love, giving you love, giving you love).
Oh can't you feel it growing
Knowing it's going right to the top.
Oh, strong and true
Will be the love that I'll share with you
Rising so high up to the sky
Standing so tall it'll never fall
Soon you'll feel a love so real
Rush into your empty heart.
So walk with me
To the land of love eternally
There love will grow and we will know
We'll be in love forever more
Soon I'll show how love will grow
Inside of your empty heart
And when it's to the top still I won't stop, I won't stop
Giving you love (giving you love)
Darling, darling when it's to the top
Still I won't stop, I won't stop giving you love
To my mind it always seems a little strange
That people won't do the things
You know they ought to
Some folks say the world, it never gonna change
But in my heart I do believe
Those are the folks who guide to
Can't or for not to
The day turns bright and night turns wonderful
Twilight never really brings into an end
If white is right and black is beautiful,
Lord, tell me when can brown begin
Tell me, people, when can brown begin
Fire and water won't be mixed in, so they say
But I've seen the steamclouds
Floating high and free
Salt and pepper don't get in each other's way
No, they just cooked together
And when they don't agree, they just let each other be
The day turns bright and night turns wonderful
Twilight never really brings into an end
If white is right and black is beautiful,
Lord, tell me when can brown begin
Tell me, people, when can brown begin
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No not just for some but for everyone
Lord we don't need another mountain
There are mountains and hillsides
Enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers
Enough to cross. enough to last
'Till the end of time
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No not just for some but for everyone
Lord we don't need another meadow
There are corn fields and wheat fields
Enough to grow
There are sun beams and moon beams
Enough to shine
Oh listen Lord if you want to know
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No not just for some but for everyone
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
As I walk this land of broken dreams
I have visions of many things
But happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion
What becomes of the broken-hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Maybe,
The fruits of love grow all around
But for me they come a tumblin' down
Everyday heartaches grow a little stronger
I can't stand this pain much longer
I walk in shadows, searching for light
Cold and alone, no comfort in sight
Hoping and prayin' for someone to care
Always movin' and goin' nowhere
What becomes of the broken-hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Help me, please
I'm searching though I don't succeed
for someones love
There's a growing need
all is lost, there's no place for beginning
All that's left is an unhappy ending
Now what becomes of the broken-hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
I'll be searching everywhere
Just to find someone to care
I'll be looking everyday
I know I've got to find a way
Nothing's gonna stop me now
I'll find a way somehow
You, you are here
And so am I
We must try, we must try, we must try
To recapture days gone by
Something here in this room
All alone with you next to me
The silence is so strong
I'll clear your mind, begging to be free
I'll no long going through changes
Hopefully for the better
What stop not progress
We should be closer together
You know that I care
We should be closer together
Bt if you want to go, I'll care for you
Just remember what I told you
Should you stay
Love will find a way
Like are you, you holding me
But not with your heart
I'll reach out to touch you, I just wannna feel you
Knowing we're worlds apart
But, baby, if love minus the world
Our dreams will never, never shatter
Find yourself and you'll find me
We'll be closer together
INTERLUDE
Ooh baby, we should be closer together
Closer together
Ooh baby, baby we should be closer, closer
Closer together, yea
Ooh baby, we should be closer
Closer together
Ooh baby, we gotta be closer, closer
Closer together
Ooh baby, baby, baby we gotta be close
Ooh, closer together, yeah
Ooh baby, ooh baby, ooh baby, ooh
Closer together, yeah
Closer, closer, we gotta be
I trust in you
Baby, everything is all right
Uptight, out of sight
Baby, everything is all right
Uptight, out of sight
I'm a poorman's son from across the railroad tracks
The only shirt I own is hangin' on my back
But I'm the envy of every single guy
Since I'm the apple of my girl's eye
When we go out stepping on the town
For a while my money's low and my suit's out of style
But it`s all right if my clothes aren't new
Out of sight because my heart is true
She says baby everything is all right
Uptight, out of sight
Baby, everything is all right
Uptight, clean out of sight
Baby, everything is all right
Uptight, out of sight
I'm a pearl of a girl
I guess that's what you might say
I guess her folks brought her up that way
The right side of the tracks
She was born and raised
In a great big old house full of butlers and maids
She says give her the things
That money can buy but I'll never
Never never make my baby cry
And it's all right
What if I can't do
Out of sight because my heart is true
She says baby everyt¬hing is all right
Uptight, clean out of sight
Baby, everything is all right
Uptight, clean out of sight
No one is better than I
I know I'm just an average guy
No footfall hero or smooth Don Juan
Got empty pockets
Would you like to ride
In my beautiful balloon ?
Would you like to glide
In my beautiful balloon ?
We could flow among the stars
Together you and I
For we can fly
For we can fly
Up and away
In my beautiful
My beautiful balloon
The world's a nicer place
In my beautiful balloon
It wears a nicer face
In my beautiful balloon
We can sing a song
And sail along the silversky
For we can fly
For we can fly
Up and away
In my beautiful
My beautiful balloon
Suspended under a twilight canopy
We'll search the sky for a star to guide us
If by some chance you find yourself loving me
We'll find a cloud to hide us
Keep the moon beside us
Love is waiting there
In my beautiful balloon
Way up in the air
In ly beautiful balloon
If you'll hold my hand
We'll chase your dream across the sky
For we can fly
For we can fly
Up and away
In my beautiful
My beautiful balloon
Up, up and away
Up, up and away
Up, up and away
Up, up and away
Come with me
And we will run across the sky
And il-lum-inate the night
Oh, oh, oh
To better times
And brighter days
Don't be afraid
Go up the ladder to the roof
Where we can see heaven much better
Come up the ladder to the roof
Where we can be
(Mary)
Where we can be
(Cindy)
Where we can be
Closer to heaven
(to heaven stay)
Stay with me
And we shall let expression sing
(All)
Hear freedom's virtues ringing
(Jean)
Can't you hear 'em ringing
(Background echoes) Ringing!
Oh, oh, oh
(All)
Memories of yesterday
Yesterday's broken dreams
Don't you know
They'll all fade away
If you'll come up the ladder to the roof
Where we can see heaven much better
Go up the ladder to the roof
Where we can be
(Mary)
Where we can be
(Cindy)
Where we can be
Closer to heaven
INTERLUDE
We'll laugh and I'll tell you the story of love
How it is, and the happiness in it baby
We'll combine our thought
And together we will travel the roads
To the fountain of loveliness
I will never, never ever
Leave you, leave you alone to wander
As we go on , our love, it will grow
(It will grow)
Much stronger and stronger
Don't you want to go
Up the ladder to the roof
Where we can see heaven much better
Up the ladder to the roof
Where we can be closer to heaven, oh
Up the (Up the)
Ooh-ooh up the (Up the)

Oh, my love
My darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long lonely time
Time goes by
So slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine
I need your love
I need your love
God, speed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow to the sea
To the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely river sigh
Wait for me, wait for me
I'll be coming home
Wait for me
Oh, my love
My darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long lonely time
And time goes by
So slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine
I need your love
I need your love
Twinkle Twinkle
Little me
I have a lonely light
I'm the Star
Upon your tree
That makes your Christmas bright
Twinkle twinkle little me
I left the milky way
Just so I could come and be
With you on Christmas day
Christmas brought me where you are
And heaven gave me light
I'm that friendly little star
You wish upon each night
(Twinkle twinkle)
Ooh, twinkle twinkle little me
I have a present too
If you gave unshelfishly
And make a wish come true
I'll always shine for you

See them tumbling down
Pledging their love to the ground
Lonely but free I'll be found
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds
Cares of the past are behind
Nowhere to go but I'll find
Just where the trail will wind
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds
I know when night has gone
That new world's born at dawn
I'll keep rolling along
Deep in my heart there's a song
Here on the range I belong
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds
I'll keep rolling along
Deep in my heart there's a song
Here on the range I belong
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds
Now you're moving on up, pretty baby
You're leaving me behind
Everybody seems to love you
Ooh, you're doing just fine, fine, fine
Take away your good looks
And all your fancy clothes
I bet you want to try it baby
And you'll see
That nobody loves you but me
Now what do you think about that?
Hey, Melvin
Now you tell me that you so busy
Ooh, baby you ain't got much time
Oh, how will I remember, babe
When all your time was mine, mine, mine
Well move on back cross the track
Yeah, where you came from
Yeah, why don't you just try it baby
And you'll see
Nobody loves you but me
Yeah, nobody but me
Try it
If you think I'm lying
Try it
Try it baby
Ooh, well move on back cross the track, baby
Yeah, where you came from
Come on and try, try it honey, try it baby, try it sweet
And you'll see
Nobody loves you but me
Nobody loves you but me
Listen, I really want to hold you, pretty baby
In my arms again
But I can't get close to you
For all your love afraid
But take your name from the bad list
And tear me your arms through
Come on and try it baby
I'm gonna try it sweetheart
Try it honey
You'll see, nobody loves you but me
John Henry was born
At the crack of dawn
His mama named Henry
And a daddy named John
His daddy predicted that
While John was growin'
He would be wild
Like the wind that was blowin'
That morn he was born
Was a hurricane
Thunder and lightning
And pouring rain
He's exciting to see
Like the storm he was born in
He took my heart and soul
Without a warning
So treat me nice
Don't be mean, John Henry
Make the girl's faces green with envy
And I'm gonna give you
All the love that's in me
John Henry, John Henry
Oh, rock of a man
You're thrillin' me
I'll take your hand
So willingly
Ready to go
Wherever you lead me
Long as I know
You'll always need me
Oh, Johnny, you are my hero
Without you my life is a zero
So whether I'm happy or in misery
In your arms is where I have to be now
So treat me nice
Don't be mean, John Henry
Make the girl's faces green with envy
And I'm gonna give you
All the love that's in me
John Henry, John Henry
Henry, you know
You've got me goin'
My love for you
Keeps growing and a growing
Treat me nice
Don't be mean, John Henry
Make the girl's faces green with envy
And I'm gonna give you
All the love that's in me
John Henry, John Henry
Treat me nice
Within the magic kingdom
There's a lot of wonderful and beautiful places
But the most beautiful and exciting of them all
Is where the little ones find their greatest happiness
In toyland
Toyland
Ooh, toyland, toyland
Dear little girl and boyland
While you dwell within it
You are ever happy then
Childhood's toyland
Wonderful world of joyland
Wouldn't it be fine
If we could stay there forever more
Toyland, toyland
We're on our way to toyland
Toyland, toyland
We're on our way to toyland
Don't know when we'll get there
But we know there's fun in store
Ooh, toyland, toyland
Wonderful girl and boyland
Once you leave it's borders
Darling, just relax
You melt me like hot candle wax
One touch and my whole body melts
Yet you say, you say you can't express yourself
Ohhhhhhhh
Just keep doin' what you're doin'
Fancy words would only ruin it
Touch, that very special touch
If I satisfy you, ooh, baby
How you satisfy me
(Oh, baby!)
Don't worry, don't worry about cries
These are tears of love in my eyes
I feel this love flowin' through
Like a river, boy, straight through me to you
Oh, your touch says more than words
In any language ever heard (oh, baby)
Touch, oh, honey (that very special touch)
I need your touch
Every brand new day (every day)
I wake up wanting you the same way
Hey hey hey!
(Ooh!) (Oh, baby!)
(Touch)
Your touch says more than words (oh!)
In any language ever heard
Keep on doin' what you're doin' (ooh!)
Fancy words would only ruin it
Touch (ooh!), groove me with your touch, hey!
Touch, you move me with your touch
(Touch, talk to me, talk to me, touch)
Groove me, groove me, groove me, groove me,
Groove me, groove me, groove me,
Groove me with your touch
Touch me, touch me, your touch express so much
(Somebody touch)
Just keep doin' what you're doin'
Fancy words would only ruin it
Too much a little too soon
That's how I let myself go
Too much a little too soon
But how was I to know
You would flirt and win my love
And then you'd hurt me
Take my heart and tear it apart
And then desert me
All my friends tried to tell me
I should hesitate
But I was blind and couldn't see
Why I should have to wait
I gave you all the love that I had
But now I know why I'm so sad
'Cause I gave you
Too much a little too soon
That's how I gave you my love
Too much a little too soon
'Cause you were not worthy of
All the efforts I put forth
To keep you satisfied
The excuses I accepted
All the times you lied
The way that I loved you
Was the only way I could
I gave you my all and all
But that's not always good
I thought you were really okay
So I let you steal my heart away
I really gave you
Too much a little too soon
I should have kept some reserve
Too much a little too soon
That much you did not deserve
I thought you were really okay
So I let you steal my heart away
I really gave you
Too much a little too soon
I should have kept some reserve
Too much a little too soon
One more time
That much you did not deserve
Too much a little too soon
I should have kept some reserve
Too much a little too soon
Right now, I'm in school
But as soon as the homebell rings
I'm gonna run to my locker
And gather up all my things
Then out the door
Running home I'll go
Faster than a new jet plane
And then turn on my radio
I'm gonna listen to those D.J. shows
I'm gonna be diggin' that rock 'n' roll
If I don't I'll go insane
Mamma said, "Go to bed
And turn off all those lights
And please turn off that radio
'Cause you listen to it day and night"
So I'll go to bed
And cover up my head
So nobody can complain
And then turn on my radio
I'm gonna listen to those D.J. shows
I'm gonna be diggin' that rock 'n' roll
If I don't I'll go insane
Well there may come a time in my lifetime
When I won't like to dance and sing
When I won't like to go to the parties no more
And I won't like to do a thing
Well bless my soul
When I get so old
Till have to walk around with a cane
And then turn on my radio
I'm gonna listen to those D.J. shows
I'm gonna be diggin' that rock 'n' roll
If I don't I'll go insane
I'm gonna listen to those D.J. shows
'Cause that's all I like to do
Those D.J. shows
Every day those D.J. shows
I dig the records that they play
Those D.J. shows
There are three well known young ladies
People talk about today
Three young ladies known for fortune and fame
They aren't Mod
They don't sing Rock
A real old fashioned trio
Who are simply known as Millie, Rose and Mame
THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE
Everything today is thoroughly modern
Check your personality
Everything today makes yesterday slow
You better face reality
It's not insanity
Says Vanity Fair
In fact, it's stylish to raise your skirts and bob your hair
In a rumble seat the world is so cosy
If the boy is kissable
And that tango dance they wouldn't allow
Goodbye, good, goody girl
I'm changing and how
So beat the drums
cause here comes thoroughly modern Millie now
SECOND HAND ROSE
I'm wearing second hand hats
Second hand clothes
That's why they call me second hand Rose
(You're ragged)
Even my pajamas when I don em
Has somebody else's nitials on 'em
(Initials)
Second hand pearls
Oh, I'm wearing second hand curls
I never had a single thing that's new
(What's a girl to do about it?)
Once while strolling through the Ritz
A girl got my goat
(What'd she do?)
She nudged her friend and said
Oh, look, there's my old fur coat
(And how embarassing)
And everyone knows that I'm just second hand Rose
From second avenue
MAME
You coax that blues right out of the horn, Mame
You charm that husk right off of the corn, Mame
You've got that banjo strummin
Plunkin out a tune to beat the band
The whole plantation's hummin'
Since you brought Dixie back to Dixie land
You make them blackeyed peas and our grits, Mame
Seems like the bill of fare at the Ritz, Mame
You came, you saw, you conquered
And absolutely nothing was the same
You're special fascination'll prove to be inspirational
We think you're just sensational, Mame
Everything today is thoroughly modern
Bands are getting jazzier
(Mame)
And everything today is starting to go
The cars are getting snazzier
(Mame)
Men say it's criminal
What women will do
What they're forgetting is
This is 1922
Second hand shoes
I'm wearing second hand hose
They've all been worn before
You're special fascination'll prove to be inspirational
We think you're just sensational Mame
Not to mention Rose and Millie
We think you're just sensational Mame
You're special fascination'll prove to be inspirational
We think you're just sensational Mame
Come on let's groove it, one last time
Ooo, this old heart of mine been broke a thousand times
Each time you break away I fear you're gone to stay
Lonely nights that come, memories that go
Bringin' you back again, hurtin' more and more.
Maybe it's my mistake to show this love I feel inside
Cause each day that passes by
You got me never knowin' if I'm comin' or goin'
But I, I love you, this old heart, darling, is weak for you
I love you, yes I do.
These old arms of mine miss havin' you around
Makes these tears inside start fallin' down
Always with half a kiss you remind me of what I miss
Though I try to control myself
Like a fool I start feelin' cause my head starts spinnin'.
Cause I love you, this old heart, darling, weak for you
I love you, yes I do, yes I do.
Ooo, I try hard to hide my hurt inside
This old heart of mine always keeps me cryin'
The way you treat me leaves me incomplete
You're here for a day, gone for the week now.
But if you leave me a hundred times
A hundred times I'll take you back
I'm yours whenever you want me
I'm not too proud to shout it
I'll tell the world about it.
Cause I, I love you, this old heart, darling, weak for you
I love you, yes I do, yes I do
I love you, this old heart, darling, weak for you

This is the story
Of my life to be filled with pain
Faces change, but the pattern stays
Still I try
But I don't know why
Like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle
With love missing, lights too big, a struggle to go on
I can't be that strong (ah, ah, ah)
This is the story
I'm just an item in your private collection
But you, to me, are my prized possession
Happiness is eluding me
You stand here betray your feelings in me
Darling, please tell me what's wrong with me,
With me, with me?
This is the story
This is the story
This is the story
I know I'm gonna let you love me again
'Cause I can't stop in my tracks like a train
I can't get off this ride, I tried
Why can't I just die?
This is the story
This is the story
Of my life---
Please make it right
This is the story, yeah
Please re-write my story, yeah
Of my life---
Please make it right, please make it right
Oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh, story of my life
Oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh, story of my life
Of my life---
There's no stopping us now
Now that we found our way
There's no stopping us now
Our love is here to stay
Follishly we've been apart
Breaking each other's heart
Stubborness and foolish pride
Caused us to push love aside
The loneliness from being apart
Opened up our eyes
To the love that was always there
Deep inside
Now that we've faced the unknown
And we can't make it alone
We're closer together more now then ever
For now that we've found love
We've got tp hold on love
There's no stopping us now
This time love's here to stay
There's no stopping us now
Now we have found our way
The precious hours we have lost
We'll never regain
But together we'll fill the hours that remain
The loneliness we have known
We'll push behind
Together forever
We'll make up for all lost time
Now we're in each other's arms
Nothing can do us harm
Nothing can shake us,
Nothing can brak us
We'll be together
Forever and ever
There's no stopping us now
This time love's here to stay
There's no stopping us now
Together we've found the way
Never again shall foolish pride keep us apart
Never again shall stubborness break our hearts
There's no stopping us now
Now that we've found our way
Would you believe?
There's no stopping us now
Now that love's here to stay
There's no stopping us now
There's a small hotel
With a wishing well
I wish that we were there together
There's a bridal suite
One room, bright and neat
Complete for us to share together
Looking through the window
You can see a distant steeple
Not a sign of people who needs people
When the steeple bell
Says goodnight sleep well
We'll wish that wishing well
Bring that steeple bell
We'll thank that small hotel together
Not a sign of people who needs people
When the steeple bell
Says goodnight sleep well
We'll wish that wishing well
Bring that steeple bell
My life was getting used to
A dull daily routine
I was getting so fed up
I just wanted to scream
Up at six to work by nine
Home again by dinnertime
Watch TV 'til half past ten
Sllep and wake, and start again
Then, then I met you
And the pattern of my life was changed
My hum-drum world was re-arranged
Then, then I met you
You've made everyday a holiday
If it's not, it feels that way
Since I fell in love with you
I used to spend my weekends home
Wondering what to do
Sometimes I'd pick up the phone
And call a friend or two
And they'd say, "Let's go somewhere"
I'd take the curlers from my hair
And go bowling with the girls
Then come home to my lonely world
Then, then I met you
And the pattern of my life was changed
My hum-drum world was re-arranged
Then, then I met you
You've made everyday a holiday
If it's not, it feels that way
Since I fell in love with you
I get silly when I pinch myself
I thought no one can see
But the last time I was loved like this
I woke up from a dream
Then, then I met you
And the pattern of my life was changed
My hum-drum world was re-arranged
Then, then I met you
Now I'm having fun just like a child
In a playground, running wild
When, when I met you
You gave me life's happy side
Gave me love I've been denied
If Columbus never sailed the sea
]If Longfellow never wrote a rhyme
If leaves have never grown upon a tree
And if the sands have never told the time
Then I guess I don't love you
Love you like I do
Then I guess I'll have to find me someone new
Then I guess this love I feel couldn't possibly be real
If Beethoven never wrote a song
And if Shakespeare never wrote a play
If a man has never done a wrong
And if night has never followed day
Then I guess I don't love you
Love you like I do
Then I guess I'll have to find me someone new
Then I guess this love for you couldn't possibly be true
If high is low
And up is down
And if love is not considered an emotion
If yes is no
And square is round
And if waves had never rode across the ocean
If Michaelangelo could never paint
And if Jezebel was a saint
Then I guess I don't love you
Love you like I do
Then I guess I'll have to find me someone new
Then I guess this love is wrong couldn't possibly be strong
Then I don't love you
Love you like I do
Then I guess I'll have to find me someone new
Here they come
Looking so alive
They're here for business
But it's all none of your jive
Brighter tomorrows are in their eyes
You'd better make way for the young folks
Oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah
They say yes and you say no
They ask you why and you close the door
My old friend I thought you knew by now
You can't do that to the young folks
Oh, no no no no
You might not like it but I've got to tell you
Gotta tell you
You'd better make way for the young folks
Oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah
They're marching with signs
They're standing in lines (yeah)
Protesting your right to turn out the light
In their lives
Here's the deal
Accept it if you will
They're coming on strong
It's their time to live
My old friend I thought you knew by now
You gotta make way for the young folks
Oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah
You may not like it but I've got to tell you
Gotta tell you
You'd better make way
You gotta make way
You'd better make way
For the young folks
(oh yeah)
You may not like it but I've got to tell you
Gotta tell you
You'd better make way
You gotta make way
You'd better make way
For the young's folks
Lovin' you, baby
Is better than ever
The stronger the thought
Of you that never ceases
The longer our loving
The more it increases
But 'you' is where my everlasting peace is
Keep me here
Hold me close, hold me near
I said
I wanna see you
The sooner, the better
I want all your time I can beg steal or borrow
Today only makes me anticipate tomorrow
You are the ship of love
And I'm the cargo
Set your sail
And though it storms
We'll never fail
Lovin’ you is better than ever
Lovin’ you is better than ever
You and I have been blessed
With love that's better than best
Love that withstood the test of time
You know that I'm proud that I can say
Seems like day by day
Lovin' you baby
Is better than ever
Lovin' you baby
I pulled in to Nazareth, was feeling 'bout half past dead
I just need some place where I could lay my head
Hey mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?
He just grinned and shook my hand
'No' was all he said
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And you put the load right on me
I picked up my bag, I went looking for a place to hide
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walking side by side
I said 'Hey Carmen, come on, let's go downtown'
She said 'I gotta go but my friend can stick around'
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And you put the load right on me
Go down Miss Moses, there's nothing that you can say
It's just old Luke, waiting on the judgement day
'Well, Luke my friend, what about young Anna-Lee?'
He said 'Do me a favour son, won't you stay and keep Anna-Lee company?'
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And you put the load right on me
Catch a cannonball now to take me down the line
My bag is sinking low and I do believe it's time
To get back to Miss Fanny, I know she's the only one
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And you put the load right on me
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
Put the weight on me
Take a load off, Fanny
Girls, beware of the bandit
From Westchester County
I can't offer you no reward
All he left me was a broken heart
He kidnapped me excitingly
Then he robbed me off my dignity
And when enough of his time was spent
He left me wanting more
Sha, la, la, la
He left me wanting more
Sha, la, la
Be careful, my sisters
He's armed with an innocent smile
And a dangerous love record
That can stretched for miles and miles
Hey, girls... you ought to take a hint
'Cause he won't leave no fingerprints
And when he gets his hands on you
He'll have you wanting more
Sha, la, la
He'll have wanting more
Sha, la, la
interlude
For your female information
You might be in the same situation
He might be sitting right next to you
Westchester County is right there, too
Hey, girls... I got a confession to make
If they put that bandit in jail
I'm gonna jump right in his cell
There's something about his
Oh-oh-oh-ooh... yeah
There's something about his
Sha, la, la, la la-ah
The way he makes me groove, oo-oo-ooh, ooh
I just wanna be happy
To love and be loved by you
But the only time I'm happy
Is when I dream of you each night
Cause that's the only time
You hold me tight in my dreams
Is the only time your love is mine.
Each time you're near
Something happens to my heart
You make you feel so unwantedm dear
And it pains my poor heart
If I could feel your sweet caress
Then I'd know true happiness.
But the only time I'm happy
Is when I dream of you each night
Cause that's the only time
You hold me tight in my dreams
Is the only time your love is mine.
To me you'll never have
Nothing kind or sweet to say
Than my whole day
To seem too sadly waste away
But when the day ends
All my happiness begins.
But the only time I'm happy
Is when I dream of you each night
Cause that's the only time
You hold me tightly in my dreams
Is the only time your love is mine.
Life pasts each day
Leaving loneliness in my heart
You make you feel so unneeded
And it hurts my poort heart
But there's nothing I'd rather do
Than to be happy loving you.
But the only time I'm happy
Is when I dream of you each night
Cause that's the only time
You hold me tightly in my dreams
To me, to me love is no go
Till fiddle and oboe start weeping, and wailing
That's my failing
He may be all wrong for me
But his is the only song for me
I know he's around when the sky and the ground start in ringing
I know he is near
By the thunder I hear in advance
His words, his words alone
Are the words that can start my heart singing
'Cause his is the only music that makes me dance
He'll sleep and he'll rise
In the light of two eyes that adore him
And bore him it might
But he won't leave my sight for a glance
In every way, every day
I need less of myself and more him, more him
'Cause his is the only music that makes me dance
In every way, every day
I need less of myself and more him, more him
'Cause his is the only music that makes me dance
Come, they told me, pa rum pa pum pum

Lover, when I'm near you
And I hear you speak my name
Softly in my ear you breathe a flame
Lover, when we're dancing
Keep on glancing in my eyes
Till love's own entrancing music dies
All of my future is in you
Your every plan I design
Promise you'll always continue to be mine
Hey lover, please be tender
When your tender fears depart
Lover, I surrender to my heart
I say "The devil is in you"
And to resist you I try
But if you didn't continue I would die
Lover, please be tender
When your tender fears depart
Lover, I surrender to my heart
What a lover
Yes, he is
In the land of make believe
Each boy and girl receive
A bag of wishes and a star
In the world of fantasy
Your heart stays young and free
And no one cares how old you are
Every girl's a princess
All her skies are blue
Every boy Prince Charming
All their dreams come true
And in the land of make believe
Your heart remains naive
And no one ever says goodbye
So if somewhere you've misplaced
Those rainbows you once chased
Believe and close your eyes
And you'll find the land of make believe
In the land of make believe
Each boy and girl receive
A bag of wishes and a star
In the world of fantasy
Your heart stays young and free

All their dreams come true
And in the land of make believe
Your heart remains naive

So if somewhere you've misplaced
Those rainbows you once chased
Believe and close your eyes
And you'll find the land of make believe
In the land of make believe
Close your eyes
In the land of make believe
In the land of make believe
I get too hungry for dinner at eight
I like the theatre but never come late
I never bother with people I hate
That's why the lady is a tramp
I like the crap games with barons and earls
Won't go to Harlem in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt with the rest of the girls
That's why the lady is a tramp
I like that cool fresh wind in my hair
Life without care
I'm broke, it's oke!
Hate california
It's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp
I get too hungry for dinner at eight
I like the theatre but never come late
I never bother with people I hate
That's why the lady is a tramp
I like the crap games with barons and earls
Won't go to Harlem in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt with the rest of the girls
That's why the lady is a tramp
I like that cool fresh wind in my hair
Life without care
I'm broke, it's oke!
Hate california
It's cold and it's damp
To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest to follow that star
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march
Into hell for a heavenly cause
And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star
The fight the unbeatable foe
To dream the impossible dream
And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star
To fight the unbeatable foe
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl
And God I know I'm one
My mother was a tailor
Sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
The only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk
Oh, mother tell your children
Not to do what we have done
Spend your lives in chear misery
In the House of the Rising Sun
Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many poor girl
Hey life look at me, I can see the reality
Cause when you shook me, took me out of my world
I woke up, suddenly I just woke up to the happening.
When you find that you left the future behind
Cause when you got a tender love you don-t
Take care of, then you better beware of the happening.
One day you-re up, then you turn around
You find your world is tumbling down
It happened to me and it can happen to you.
I was sure, I felt secure, until love took a detour
Yeah, riding high on top of the world
It happened, suddenly it just happened.
I saw my dreams torn apart, when love walked away from my heart
And when you lose that precious love you need to guide you
Something happens inside you, the happening.
Now I see life for what it is
It-s not all dreams, it-s not all bliss
It happened to me and it can happen to you
Once!
Ooo, and then it happened
Ooo, and then it happened
Ooo, and then it happened
Ooo, and then it happened.
Is it real, is it fake, is this game of life a mistake
Cause when I lost the love I thought was mine
For certain, suddenly I started hurting.
I saw the light too late, when that fickle finger of fate
Yeah came and broke my pretty balloon
I woke up, suddenly I just woke up to the happening.
So sure, I felt secure, until love took a detour
Cause when you got a tender love you don-t
There's a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us somewhere
There's a time for us
Someday a time for us
Time together with time to spare
Time to learn, time to care
Someday, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
We'll find a way of forgiving somewhere
Yes, there's a place for each of us
A place of peace and quiet
And we must try to persue this place
Where love is like a passion that burns like a fire
And also fulfillment of two hearts' desire
Let our efforts be as determined as that of a little stream
That saunters down the hillside seeking its level
Only to become a huge river destined to the sea
Yes, there's a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Hold my hand and were halfway there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow, someday
Somewhere
Hold my hand and were halfway there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow, someday
Between Sunday and Monday
Between Sunday and Monday
When will I forget that I'm in love with you
When the sky above forgets to be blue
When the grass in the spring forgets to be green
And the little children forget the sweet taste of ice cream
The day will come between Sunday and Monday, boy
The day will come between Sunday and Monday, boy
That's the day I'll stop loving you
That's the day I'll stop loving you
When will I forget all the sweet love you give
When the good man above forgets to forgive
When a boy flying a kite no longer needs the wind
And a duck on a pond forgets how to swim
The day will come between Sunday and Monday, boy
The day will come between Sunday and Monday, boy
That's the day I'll stop loving you
That's the day I'll stop loving you
When will I forget how I love you sounds
When my ears go deaf and the world shuts down
I can't lend a day when your love I'll forget
It hasn't been meant but I know where it's at
The day will come between Sunday and Monday, boy
The day will come between Sunday and Monday, boy
That's the day I'll stop loving you
That's the day
The day will come between Sunday and Monday, boy
The day will come between Sunday and Monday, boy
That's the day I'll stop loving you
That's the day
The day will come between Sunday and Monday, boy
(Smokey Robinson)
You may not know how
To make words rhyme
Carry a tune or a clap on time now
You may have no knowledge of musical things
But deep down inside of me
You have created a melody
You're the composer of the song
That my heart sings
You may not what
Quarter notes are
Or what I mean by Four to the Bar now
Such musical terms may be Greek to your ears
But deep down inside of me
You have created a melody
You're the composer of the song
That my heart hears
Now it's a tender song
It's like a rhapsody, a symphony
This song I find in this heart of mine
And it's begging you
Let nothing keep us apart
Oh, my darling
Cause you put a song in my heart
Now this song that I find in my heart for you
Every lyric and line
I swear it's true
The number one song on my personal chart
Deep down inside of me
You have created a melody
You're the composer of the song
That's in my heart
Deep down inside of me
You have created a symphony
You're the composer
You put a song in my heart
You're the composer
You put a song in my heart
You're the composer

Oh, how I love him
But he just doesn't see
Tall and tan and young and handsome
The boy from Ipanema goes walking
And when he passes
Each girl he passes goes - ah
When he walks
He's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when he passes each girl
He passes goes - ah
Ooh, but I watch him so sadly
How can I tell him I love him
Yes I would give my heart gladly
But each day
When he walks to the sea
He looks straight ahead, not at me
Tall, and tan, and young and handsome
The boy from Ipanema goes walking
And when he passes goes - ah
I smile - but he doesn't see (doesn't see)
We'll have a blue room
A new room, for two room
Where every day's a holiday
Because you're married to me
Not like a ballroom
A small room, a hall room
Where you can smoke your pipe away
With my wee head upon your knee
We will thrive on, keep alive on
Just nothing but kisses
With Mister and Misses
On little blue chairs
I'll wear my trouseau
And Robinson Crusoe
Is not so far from worldly cares
As our blue room far away upstairs
We will thrive on, keep alive on
Just nothing but kisses
With Mister and Misses
On little blue chairs
I'll wear my trouseau
And Robinson Crusoe
Is not so far from worldly cares
Tender words of love
That once came easy
Now seems strained and insincere
Could this be the beginning
The beginning of the end
You don't tell me that you love me
And your kisses seem untrue
Could this be the beginning
The beginning of the end
My heart oh, my love
My everything has always
Been just for you
Now I pray every day
Each and every day
This coldness I find is only in my mind
Now you swear
You still love me
I longer feel you need me near
Could this be the beginning
I believe it's the beginning of the end
The beginning
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it
Is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough
You'll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Because I was afraid to speak
When I was just a lassy
My father gave me nose a tweak
And told me I was sassy
But then one day I learned a word
That saved me aching nose
The biggest word I ever heard
And this is how it goes:
Oh, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it
Is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough
You'll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
So when the cat has got your tongue
There's no need for dismay
Just summon up this word
And then you've got a lot to say
But better use it carefully
Or it can change your life
One night I said it to me guy
And now I am his wife!
She's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
No matter how you use this word
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Sunset, sunset
It's sunset, it's sunset
You went and left happy
You're all alone
You turned and walked away
About this time of day
It was always sunset
Sunset
I didn't want you to see me cry
So I turned my head
To hide the tears in my eyes
I turned when evening shadows fall
That's when I miss you most of all
And oh, it's sunset
He was born on a mountain top in Tennessee
Greenest state in the Land of the Free
Raised in the woods so he knew every tree
Killed himself a bear when he was only three
Davy, Davy Crocket
King of the wild fronteer
He was a cardfan man
His life was worthy
He had love in his hands
And his hands were dirty
And the sky turned to fire
On the day of his birth
Now he lost his love and his grief was gall
In his heart he wanted to leave it all
And lose himself in the forest tall
But answered instead his country's call
Davy, Davy Crocket
King of the Wild Fronteer
He was a mighty big man
In a mighty big land
Had a mighty big heart
And mighty big hand
When his country called
He met the demand
Fought single-handed through the Injun War
Till the creeks was swept and peace was in store
And while he was handlin this risky chore
Made himself a legend forevermore
Davy, Davy Crocket
King of the Wild Fronteer
At night he walked to the woods alone
Winding his beard
Way back home
A hero's curse, a man alone
Looking for a place where the air smells clean
Where the tree is tall and the grass is green
Where the fish is fat in an untouched stream
And teemin' woods is a hunter's dream
Hey, Davy, Davy Crocket
King of the Wild Fronteer
He was a big, big man

I don't want to love you
But I do
And I just can't help it
You bring me happiness
And then pain
Are these nights I spend
Crying over you really worth it
Really worth it
Or am I shedding tears in vain
You know every girl has to have
Someone she can depend on
Someone to trust in
And I depend on you day by day
It's always been that way
When you kiss me
Tears of joy I shed
Makes me wonder
Makes me wonder
Wonder am I shedding tears in vain
Darling I wonder
Stop whatever you're doing
Hold it right there
Drop whatever you're doing
There's not a minute to spare
Time is flying, grab it
Break that nowhere habit
TCB And TCB
TCB do it now
Don't sit around and wonder when to
Now is the time for all good men to
You know the way to start today to TCB do it now
Break that routine that's got ya strung out
Come sing a song before you sung
Better begin and jump right in and TCB what you're doing now
Whats the good of living safe and sound
With your head in the sand
Pull it out and look around
Take a stand
There's so much more to life than livin'
Taking is easy, now try givin'
Give up that easy life and make that break
And you'll be TCB
Ya you'll be
Which means you're Taking Care of Business
Taking Care of Business
Taking Care of Business
Taking Care of Business
Taking Care of Business
Taking Care of Business
Taking Care of Business
Miss Diana now the stage is yours
And the lovely Supremes
Thanks to each and everyone of you
You are dreams
No, Diana we're The Temptations
(Dreams are an altitude)
All the formalities are done now
Let's loosen up and have some fun now
Ladies it's time for you to do your thing
Swing out and TCB
Swing out and TCB
Show them you're
Taking Care of Business
Taking Care of Business
Taking Care of Business
Stop whatever you're doing
Stop whatever you're doing
Stop whatever you're doing
Ooh..... ooh...
I heard your promises too long
I watched you do me wrong
Still foolishly I waited
Hoping for the day
You told me you'll repay
The love you kept away
You said that there'll be smiles
Happiness for miles
But you were lying all the while
We said we danced to the music
And we walked in the sunshine, too
But you just took me for granted
And now I'm hurt because of you
Oh.. oh
I said if you can't follow through
Take your dreams back
Take it back
I'm tired of your lies and alibis
Take your dreams back
Take it back
Baby..
Oh baby
So desperately I tried
To raise love from the dead
But I grew weak instead
Now love's fading inside
A room can be forgiven
And a few hurts overlooked, oh yeah
But when it comes without an ending
That's when it's time to close the book
Oh... oh, oh
I said if you can't follow through
Take your dreams back
Take it back
I'm tired of your lies and alibis
Take your dreams back
Take it back
Ohh... take it back
Take it back, take it back
Here's your dreams, baby
Take it back, take it back, take it back
Here's your dreams, baby
Now that I face the truth
I know that htere's some rules
Some things I'll never had
What good that never was
A man that never comes
Are surely ending fast
We said we danced to the music
And we walked in the sunshine, too
But you just took me from granted
And now I'm hurt because of you
Ohh....oh
I said if you can't follow through
Take your dreams back
Take it back
I'm tired of your lies and alibis
Take your dreams back, hey
(Take it back)
Take it back, take it back
Take your dreams back
Take it back
I'm tired of your lies and alibis
Take your dreams back
[Chorus]
Take a look inside, baby
Try to see above your foolish pride
Take a look inside, baby
Love can work out if you'll give it a try
You're standing on the mountain way up high
(way up high, way up high)
Looking down on the little people who cry
They cry out for you for the understanding they need
But you turned away, contend to let it be
[Chorus]
Material things are the hold of life
'Cause they can't love and hold you tight at night
(Uh-uh)
Though it's true that money can buy many, many things
I thought that it can provide the joy that true love brings
[Chorus]
Take a look inside, take a look inside
Take a look inside, yeah, yeah, yeah
Take a look inside, take a look inside
Take a look inside
Society forces you to be someone you're not
(someone you're not)
So, you stand alone on life's mountain top
Closing your ears from the cries from below
But there'll come a time
You have to let your feelings show
I took one look at you
That's all I meant to do
And then my heart stood still
My feet could step and walk
My lips could move and talk
And yet my heart stood still
Though not a single word was spoken
I could tell you knew
That unfelt claps of hands
Told me so well you knew
I never lived at all
Until the thrill of that moment
When my heart stood still
I took one look at you
That's all I meant to do
And then my heart stopped right there
My feet could step and walk
My lips could move and talk
And yet my heart stood still
Though not a single word was spoken
I could tell you knew
That unfelt claps of hands
Told me so well you knew
I never lived at all
Until the thrill of that moment
When my heart stood still
Baby, I don't wanna walk without you
You ask me from time to time
About different girls that catch your eyes
Love is what you're looking for
But blind may my love you ignore
Standing right before your eyes
Is all the love you hope to find
So, throw away your little black book
If there's love you want, here I am
Just take a closer look at me
Just take a closer look at me
Just take a closer look, you'll see in me
It's love is what you want, baby
Love is what you need
The girls you chose with no big hits
They struck out with every pitch
Each new day I never complain
But same results with different names
You come to me to straighten your life
Not with love but my advice
I'm your friend you know for sure
Can't you see I wanna be more
Just take a closer look at me
Just take a closer look at me
Just take a closer look, you'll see in me
Love... it's love is what you want, baby
Love is what you need
Haven't you noticed how I find
Clever little ways to steal your time
Advice I gave for you to take
From other girls is for my sake
The very things I said to do
Are the lovely things I want from you
I don't wanna seemed so bold
If you can't see, you gotta be told
Just take a closer look at me
Just take a closer look at me
Sweet thing, you make my heart sing
You turn darkness into light
You make everything alright
Sweet thing, you make the bells ring
Ding dong, and sweet and true
Attaching me to you.
(Sweeter than the taste of sugar cane)
No sugar cane could be
As sweet as you are to me
(Sweeter than whatever you can name)
Like candy, cake or honey
Wouldn’t give you up for love or money.
Sweet thing, you are my everything
You're all I need and more
Than my heart a-bargained for
Sweet thing, you are what's happening
You're just a bundle of love
Happiness and love.
Sweeter than the taste of honey dew
A honey-dew male is sweet, it's true
But it just ain't quite as sweet as you
Sweeping is the way to measure you
I look at the scale and it's a shame
I have more sweetness inch to inch
I have more sweetness pound to pound
Than any other sweet thing I have found.
Sweet thing, sweet, sweet thing
Sweet thing, sweet, sweet thing.
Sweeter than the taste of honey dew
A honey-dew male is sweet, it's true
But it just ain't quite as sweet as you
Sweeping is the way to measure you
I look at the scale and it's a shame
I have more sweetness inch to inch
I have more sweetness pound to pound
Than any other sweet thing I have found.
Sweet thing, you are what's happening
You're just a bundle of love
Happiness and love
Say it, sweet thing, you are my everything
You're all I need and more
Than my heart a-bargained for
Sweet thing, you make my heart sing
You turn darkness into light
You make everything alright
Sweet thing, you make the bells ring
Ding dong, and sweet and true
I need your sweet, sweet inspiration
I need you here on my mind every hour of the day
Without your sweet, sweet inspiration
The lonely hours of the day just don't go my way.
A woman in love needs sweet inspiration
And honey that's all I ask
You know that's all I ask from you
I gotta have your sweet inspiration, yeah
You know there just ain't no telling
What a satisfied woman might do.
When you call "Baby", baby
Is such a sweet inspiration
And when you call me "Darling", darling
Sets my heart a-skating
And if I'm out in the rain, baby
And in a bad situation
You know I just reach back in my mind
And there I find your sweet, sweet inspiration.
Inspiration, yeah, oh, what a power
And I got the power every hour of the day
I need your sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet inspiration, yeah
To go on living, to keep on giving this way.
I need your sweet, sweet inspiration
And I got the power every hour of the day
I need your sweet, sweet inspiration

Surfer boy, surfer boy
Surfer boy, surfer boy
Look at the way, the way he rides
He rides, he rides oh so high
Look at the way, the way he rides
He rides, he rides oh so high
My surfer boy
Riding waves just for joy
What are you taking chances for
Is it a matter of pride
Riding waves so high
Seems to touch the sky
Waves that rock and sway
Ooh takes my breath away
Surfers all around
Cheering you as you ride down
Each day I feel as before
So afraid till you're safe to shore
In my arms once more
The way he rides, oh so high
The cheering crowd nearby
Watch you surf the waves so high
Wild as the wind, you surf the sea
Like a man on a flying trapeze
My surfer boy
I'm so afraid for you
Though thrilling it must be, my love
Be safe for me, my love
Ooh oh so high
The way he rides, oh so high
My surfer boy
Riding waves just for joy
What are you taking chances for
Is it a matter of pride
Riding waves so high
Seems to touch the sky
Waves that rock and sway
Ooh takes my breath away
Say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sing it for me fellows, now
Say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I try to put my arms around you
All because I wanna hold you tight
But everytime I reach for you, baby, try to kiss you
You just jump clean out of sight.
And oh I've got news for you
Baby, now I'll make place for two
I guess you're just a stubborn kind of fellow
Got my mind made up to love you.
Everybody say it
Say yeah, yeah, yeah, say yeah, yeah, yeah
One more time
Say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm gonna love you in every way
(Gonna love you, gonna love you, in every way)
I say I'm gonna love, girl, you in every way
(Gonna love you, gonna love you, in every way)
Now, other girls are falling
And I'm waiting for the moment
But I need you to stay by my side
I know you've heard about me
Bad things about me
Baby, please let me explain
I have kissed a few (baby, baby)
Many a few have kissed me too
I guess I'm just a stubborn kind of fellow
Got my mind made up to love you
(Love you, love you)
Everybody say
Say yeah, yeah, yeah, say yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, sing it everybody now
You were the sunshine baby
Whenever you smile
But I call you Stormy today
All of a sudden that old rains fallin' down
And my world is cloudy and gray
You've gone away
Stormy, ooh Stormy
Bring back that sunny day
Yesterday's love was like the warm summer breeze
But like the weather, you change
Now things are dreary baby
And it's windy and cold
And I stand alone in the rain
Calling your name
Ooh Stormy, ooh Stormy
Bring back that sunny day
Bring 'em back, bring 'em back
Ooh Stormy, ooh Stormy
Bring back that sunny day
Bring 'em back, bring 'em back
Bring back that sunny day
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Baby, baby
I'm aware of where you go
Each time you leave my door
I watch you walk down the street
Knowing your other love you'll meet
But this time before you run to her
Leaving me alone and hurt
(Think it over) After I've been good to you ?
(Think it over) After I've been sweet to you ?
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over
Think it over
I've known of your
Your secluded nights
I've even seen her
Maybe once or twice
But is her sweet expression
Worth more than my love and affection ?
But this time before you leave my arms
And rush of to her charms
(Think it over) Haven't I been good to you ?
(Think it over) Haven't I been sweet to you ?
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over
Think it over
I've tried so hard, hard to be patient
Hoping you'd stop this infatuation
But each time you are together
I'm so afraid I'll be losing you forever
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Baby, think it over
Think it over, baby
Stoned love
Soned love, oh yeah
A love for each other will bring fighting to an end
Forgiving one another, time after time, doubt creeps in
But like the sun lights up the sky with a message from above
Oh, yeah, I find no other greater symbol of this love
Dont you hear the wind blowin?
Stoned love, oh yeah
I tell you I aint got no other
Stoned love, oh, yeah
Life is so short put the present time at hand
And if you're young at heart rise up and take your stand
And to the man on whose shoulder the world must depend
I pray for peace and love, Amen
Can't ya hear it?
Stoned love, oh yeah
I tell you I aint got no other
Stoned love, oh, yeah
If a war 'tween our nations passed
Will the love 'tween our brothers and sisters last
On and on and on and on and....
Dont ya hear the wind blowin?
Stoned love, oh yeah
I tell you I aint got no other
Why don't you stay in my, my lonely arms
Darling, stay in my, my lonely arms.
You are so thrilling and my arms, ooo, are so willing
I can't help revealing the way I'm feeling
I need it so
Stay in my lonely arms
Darling, stay, stay in my, in my lonely arms.
Holding you close is so heavenly
I can feel the love glow deep inside of me
Please, don't go.
Darling, stay, stay in my lonely arms
Stay in my lonely arms.
Each kiss makes love just a little stronger
Ooo, makes me wanna hold you, oh, just a little longer
Please, don't go.
Stay in my, in my lonely arms
Why don't you stay, stay in my, in my lonely arms
Stay, darling, stay in my lonely arms
Why don't you stay, ooo, stay in my lonely arms
You are so thrilling, my arms are willing
I can't help revealing the way I'm feeling
Why don't you stay, stay in my, in my lonely arms
I'm standing at the crossroads of love
I'm standing at the crossroads of love
Don't know which way to go
Don't know which way to turn
Though the love I give is not returned
For that boy
My heart still yearns
So I'm standing at the crossroads of love
'Cause when I'm with him he mistreats me
Runs around and cause me misery
But I love him
I can't deny
And without him
I'd surely die
It hurts to be with him
And it hurts to be without him
So I'm standing at the crossroads of love
Just standing at the crossroads of love
Don't know which way
Don't know which way to go
Don't know which way
Don't know which way to turn
There's always tears on my pillow
'Cause I'm always in the middle
Of heartache and emotion
Heartbreak and devotion
Loving, caring, when it's despairing
Trying to be true
Though it makes me blue
So I'm standing at the crossroads of love
Just standing at the crossroads of love
Don't know which way to turn
Don't know which way to turn
Spring is here
Why doesn't my heart go dancing?
Spring is here
Why isn't the waltz entrancing?
No desire,
No ambition leads me
Maybe it's because nobody needs me
Spring is here
Why doesn't the breeze delight me?
Stars appear
Why doesn't the night invite me?
Maybe it's because nobody loves me
Spring is here I hear
Spring is here
Why doesn't the breeze delight me?
Stars appear
Why doesn't the night invite me?
Maybe it's because nobody loves me
Spring is here
Spring is here
It's the same routine of getting up every morning
And putting on a smile
But underneath there's another person
Who can't find a reason to make living worthwhile
Ah, another day to get through
Without the love that once was mine
Sometimes I think my heartaches come to an end
And then something brings them all back again
Like wanting you and not having you
I'll never get used to
I've gotten used to not listening
For familiar sounds you used to make
Now I'm trying to get out of the habit
Of calling your name first thing when I awake
Look here !
It's like a child's first step
I have to learn to walk all, all over again
'Cause you were always there if I should fall
And now there's nobody else that I can call
It's like wanting you and not having you
I'll never get used to
Lost in a crowd
I think I caught a glimpse of you
Blindly I rush to touch your hand, huh!
To discover it's my mind
Playing tricks on me again
Tricks on me again
Some things you never get used to
Sometimes I think my heartaches come to an end
And then something brings them all back again
Like wanting you and like having you
I'll never get used to
It's wanting you and like having you
I'll never get used to
Look here !
Like wanting you and like having you
Don't run so fast, love
Slow down and let me catch you baby
I've got a story to tell
About a girl I know well
She loved this guy
Heaven knows why
How could she love him
Everytime this guy she'd see
With another girl he'd be
He didn't even notice
She was crying
Don't run so fast, love
Slow down and let me catch you baby
She'd choose her clothes with care
She'd curl and set her hair
And hope someday, that he'd look her way
He was too busy
He was always on the run
Breaking hearts and havin' fun
He couldn't see she was the one that needed him
Each night she'd cry in fear
That he would never hear
Her heart and soul cry out
I know it's love beyond a doubt
By now you all must see
This girl I know is me
Though I feel like crying
I won't stop trying to make him love me
I've shown you a part of my soul
But many things I've left untold
Until he's mine to have and hold
Forever
Don't run so fast, love
Slow down and let me catch you baby
I need your arms around me tight, baby
Slow down
Sleep walk
Instead of dreaming
I sleep walk
'Cause I lost you
And now what am I to do
What to do
Can't believe that we're through
I don't care how much you tell me
Sleep talk
'Cause I miss you
I sleep talk
While the memory of you
Lingers like a song
Darling, I was so wrong
But I'll be right someday
The night
Fills my lonely place
I see your face
Spinning through my brain
I know
I miss you so
I still love you
And it drives me insane
Sleep walk
Every night
I just sleep walk
And when you
Walk inside the door
I will sleep walk no more
Sleep walk
Every night
I just sleep walk
And when you
Walk inside the door
I will sleep walk no more
I will sleep walk no more
Sing a simple song
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
I'm talking, talking, talking, talking, talking, talking in my sleep
I'm walking, walking, walking, walking, walking in the street
Time is passing, I grow older, things are happening fast
All I have to hold on to is a simple song at last.
Let me hear you say ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
Let me hear you say ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
Sing a simple song, you gotta try a little
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do, do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, oh yeah, oh yeah.
I'm living, living, living life with all its ups and downs (you too?)
I'm giving, giving, giving love and smiling at the frowns (me too!)
You're in trouble when you find it's hard for you to smile
A simple song will make it better for a little while.
Let me hear you say ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
Let me hear you girls: yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm talking, talking, talking, talking
I'm walking, walking, walking, walking
I'm living, living, living, living
I'm giving love and so much love
Everybody sing together
Ya, ya, ya ya, ya, oooo
Let me hear you say ya, ya, ya ya, ya
Sincerely
Oh, yes sincerely
'Cause I love you so dearly
Please say you'll be mine
Sincerely
Oh, you know how I love you
I'll do anything for you
Please say you'll be mine
Oh, Lord, won't you tell me why
I love that fella so
He doesn't want me
But I'll never, never, never, never let him go
Sincerely
Oh, you know how I love you
I'll do anything for you
Please say you'll be mine
Oh, Lord, won't you tell me why
I love that fella so
He doesn't want me
But I'll never, never, never, never let him go
Sincerely
Oh, you know how I love you
I'll do anything for you
Please say you'll be mine
Please say you'll be mine
Silver bells, silver bells
It's christmas time in the city
Ringeling
Hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
City side walks, busy side walks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing
People passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Hear them ring
Ringeling
Soon it will be Christmas day
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ringeling
Hear them ring
Silent night
Holy night
All is calm, all is bright
'Round you virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Make someone happy
Make just one someone happy
Make just one heart the heart you sing to
One smile that cheers you
One face that lights when it nears you
One gal you're everything to
Fame, if you win it
It comes and goes in a minute
Where's the real stuff in life to cling to?
Love is the answer
Someone to love is the answer
Once you've found him
He tried to build your world around him
Make someone happy
Make just one someone happy
And you will be happy too
Make someone happy
Make just one someone happy
All through this long and sleepless night
I hear my neighbors talking
Saying that out of my life into another's arms
You'll soon be walking
Somebody shake me, wake me when it's over
Somebody tell me that I'm dreaming
And wake me when it's over
They say our love ain't what it used to be
And everyone knows but me
I close my ears not wanting to hear
But the words are loud and clear
Through these walls so thin
I hear my neighbors when they say
"He don't love her"
They say my heart's in danger
'Cause you're leaving me
For the love of a stranger
Somebody shake me, wake me when it's over
Somebody tell me that I'm dreaming
And wake me when it's over
Boy, you're what my heart desires
My whole world you've inspired
I can't bear to be losing you
'Cause I've loved you my whole life through
Restlessly
I pace the floor
listening to my neighbors criticize
What a fool I am not to realize
You don't want me by your side
As the tears stream down my face
I can't believe I've been replaced
If I ever had a dream before
Somebody tell me I'm dreaming now
And then shake me, wake me
Somebody when it's over
Somebody tell me that I'm dreaming
Shake, shake, shake
Listen while I talk to you
Tell you what we're gonna do
There's a new dance going around
And I tell you that we're putting you down
Just move your body all around
Shake, oh mama shake
Shake, I said that's the way to do it
Shake, come on you're looking good now
Shake it like a bowl of soup
Make your body loop de loop
Put your hands on your hip
You kinda let your back bone slip
Just move your body like a whip
And just shake, oh mama
Shake, I said that's the way to do it
Shake, come on now girls
Dingelingeling, honey shakin' is the latest thing
And if you wanna swing
Just loosen up your shoulders
And if you wanna really roll
You got to do the thing with soul
Shake it, shake it with all your might
And now if you do it, do it right
Just move your body loose tonight
And just shake, oh mama
Shake, come on honey
Shake, I said that's the way to do it
Loosen up your shoulders
And if you wanna really roll
You gotta do the thing with soul
Shake it, shake with all your might
And now if you do it, do it right
Just make your body loose tonight
And just shake, oh mama
Shake, I say that's the way to do it
Shake, come on now girls
Shake, come on now Florence
Shake, I say that's the way to do it
Shake, come on now Mary
Shake, come on now Supremes
And shake, I say that's the way to do it
Shake, come on now mama
Shake, I say that's the way to do it
Rich man and poor, beggar and thief
Searching in the darkness
For a light to show the way
Each seeking his identity
Protect me from my brother please
They pray
Afraid and so alone
Tell me where have all the loving people gone
They're lying here with you and me
Buried in the shadows of society
Young mothers' faces filled with shame
It's not enough to give her baby life, they say
Each child must have a proper name
Or they'll never be allowed to see the light of day
Wrong, right or wrong
Tell me where has understanding gone
Where have all the loving people gone
Where has understanding gone
Here they are with you and me
Buried in the shadows of society
Once someone said
'Let there be light'
What good is light
If we've forgotten how to see
It's gone
The light is gone
Where is the light of love
To lead us on
As I rush through the shadows
Seeking me
May the torch of love
Light my way
Where have all the loving people gone
Where has understanding gone
Once someone said
'Let there be light'
What good is light
If we've forgotten how to see
It's gone
The light is gone
Where is the light of love
To lead us on
As I rush through the shadows
Seeking me
May the torch of love
Send me no flowers
Send me no flowers
Just want your arms around me
Your ever loving arms around me
You sent me flowers and a "get well" card
After you had broken my heart
Violets that were blue
Reminded me you'd never be true
So send me no flowers
Don't need any flowers
Because your kissing, baby
Is what I'm missing, baby
When I'm at home, all alone
You don't ever bother, bother to phone
A little affection sometimes
Will soothe this heart of mine
But you send me flowers
To ease my lonely hours
Send me no flowers. baby
Don't need any flowers
Just need your kissing, baby
and I don't mean maybe, baby
Send me no flowers, baby
Don't need any flowers, baby
I need affection sometimes
To soothe this heart of mine
Send me no flowers, baby
Don't need any flowers, baby
I need affection sometimes
You're building a private heaven
You're reaching out so far
When you reach your goal
With joys untold
At least
Save me star
When you finish
Your private heaven
Think of me
Wherever you are
Remember how true
I was to you
And at least won't you
Save me star
Though I'd hate to see you go
A kiss for luck and fame
But if you should stumble
And your heaven tumble
I'll welcome you home again
When you finish your private heaven
Though it be near or far
Once again I'll call to say
At least won't you
Save me a star
I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I'll give you my heart
I love you
And you alone were meant for me
Please give your loving heart to me
And say we'll never part
I think of you every morning
Dream of you every night
Darling I'm never lonely
Whenever you're in sight
I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I've given you my heart
I think of you every morning
Dream of you every night
Darling I'm never lonely
Whenever you're in sight
I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time
I see reflections of you and me
Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me
Oh, I'm all alone now
No love to shield me
Trapped in a world
That's a distorted reality
Happiness you took from me
And left me alone
With only memories
Through the mirror of my mind
Through these tears that I'm crying
Reflects a hurt I can't control
'Cause although you're gone
I keep holding on
To the happy times
Oh, when you were mine
As I peer through the window
Of lost time
Looking over my yesterdays
And all the love I gave all in vain
(All the love) All the love
That I've wasted
(All the tears) All the tears
That I've tasted
All in vain
Through the hollow of my tears
I see a dream that's lost
From the hurt
That you have caused
Everywhere I turn
Seems like everything I see
Reflects the love that used to be
In you I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
My world has turned to dust
After all the nights
I sat alone and wept
Just a handful of promises
Are all that's left of loving you
Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me
In you I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
Up every day at six
Bacon and eggs to fix
Four kids from one to four
Pretty soon there'll be one more
I got old floors to wax and scrub
Dirty old ring in the tub
I'll get a maid someday
But till then I'm queen of the house
No time to fix my hair
I need a new wig to wear
Old clothes will have to do
'Cause the kids all need new shoes
I got bridge club on Tuesday night
He goes out with the boys and gets tight
Its the day it makes me glad I'm
Queen of the house
I know the milk man
Ice man is coming today
They give me chips on the horses to play
And when I get some time to spare
I sit and wish that I had met a rich millionaire
Up every day at six
Bacon and eggs to fix
Four kids from one two three four
Pretty soon there'll be one more
But Sundays I'm mighty glad
I send the kids to his mum and dad
Its the day that makes me glad I'm
Queen of the house
Up every day at six
Bacon and eggs to fix
Four kids from one to four
Pretty soon there'll be one more
Sundays I'm mighty glad
I send the kids to his mum and dad
It's the day that makes me glad I'm
Put yourself in my place
If only for a day
See if you can stand
The awful hurt I feel inside
Put yourself in my place
For just a little while
Live through the loneliness
The endless emptiness
I go through
And when you lose a little sleep at night
Cause you ain't been treated right
Then you know heartaches are sad
Sitting by the telephone
Being left all alone
Then you know why I'm feeling bad
Put yourself in my place
And when you're just about to go insane
Cause it hurts to love in vain
Ask a girl who's been in love
I believed your evil line
Now I'm left alone and crying
Alone to count the stars above
Put yourself in my place
If only for a day
See if you can stand
The awful emptiness
I feel inside
Put yourself in my place
Put yourself in my place
For just a little while
Why don't you try it
Why don't you try it
Why don't you try it baby
Put yourself in my place
If only for a day
Why don't you, why don't you
Why don't you try it
Why don't you try it
Why don't you try it baby
Gray skies are gonna clear up
Put on a happy face
Wipe off the clouds and cheer up
Put on a happy face
Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy
It's not your style
You'll look so good that you'll be glad
You decided to smile
Pick out a pleasant outlook
Stick out that noble chin
Wipe off that full-of-doubt look
Slap on a happy grin
Spread sunshine all over the place
Just put on a happy
Put on a happy face
Gray skies are gonna clear up
Put on a happy face
Wipe off the clouds and cheer up
Put on a happy face
Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy
It's not your style
You'll look so good that you'll be glad
You decided to smile
Pick out a pleasant outlook
Stick out that noble chin
Wipe off that full-of-doubt look
Snap on a happy grin
Spread sunshine all over the place
Just put on a happy
Play a sad song
For a girl with a broken heart
With a broken heart
Play a sad song
Let him know that I'm still crying
Let him know I'm slowly dieing, slowly dieing, slowly dieing
So play a sad, sad song
For a girl with a broken heart
With a broken heart
I don't know why he left
We were doing so fine
He was mine, all mine
He must have found another love
He must have found another love
And put me down
So play a sad, sad, sad, sad song
For a girl with a broken heart
I gave him all the love
All the loving I had
Now he's driving me mad
He knows I've never been a cheat
I tried to make my kisses sweet
He said I made his life complete
Now he's gone
So play a sad, sad, sad song
For a girl with a broken heart
So play a sad, sad song
People
People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world
We're children needing other children
And yet, letting our grown up pride
Hide all the need inside
Acting more like children than children
People
God's children
Were born to be free
To love
All people have a dream
For peace, for security
Let the world fall in love again
Please, please, let our lies not be in vain
Lovers are very special people
They're the luckiest people in the world
With one person
One very special person
A feeling deep in your soul says
You were half, now you're whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People who need people
I've got a boy
Sweet as honey
Penny pincher
But they tease him
Penny pincher
'Cause he doesn't spend his money
A penny pincher
That's what they say
So from him
Other girls shy away
But I love him
For what he is
All his love
He truly gives
He may not drive a car
But I love
Those walks through the park
A penny pincher
He may be
But oh, he means
He means the world to me
I don't care
If he won't spend a dime
Just as long
As I know he's mine
Let them tease him
Call him cheap
But in my book
He can't be beat
I love him for
What is within
A tender loving
Trusting friend
I don't care
If he won't spend a dime
Just as long
As I know he's mine
A penny pincher
He may be
But his love
Means the world to me
A penny pincher
Is there always gonna be one more bridge to cross?
Is there always gonna be one more bridge to cross?
Just like the wind finds a resting place
Somewhere in the busom of the land
Sowing his rich by the hands of the wise
And peace should come to every man
Just when he thinks he can lay down and roll
He's seen the place he's looking for coming up the road
Oh, is there always gonna be one more birdge to cross?
Always one more bridge
Is there always gonna be one more bridge to cross?
Now I don't wanna sing that same old song
I want a new tune that we can all sing along
We made new maps, but we didn't change the signs
Still say "This is yours and this over here is mine"
Like a little ol' man sitting on a bench
He says he rides for freedom, but he can't cross the fence
Is there always gonna be one more bridge to cross?
Oh, oh, oh one more
They say I got one more
Oh, when you get up over here, you'll find one more
When you get around the bend, you see one more
Almost made it, one more
You're so, so close
Ome more, but you're almost made it
You think you made it, made it at last
Just take a look and you'll see 99 and a half
Is there always gonna be one more bridge to cross?
Is there always gonna be one more bridge to cross?
Poor baby, poor baby, ooo
Poor baby, poor baby, ooo
You must been in jail or lying in a big truck
You wouldn't hurt me or mess me up
Said you'd be here two weeks ago
Don't mind for lateness,
But admit it gets a little bit slow
Oh, my poor baby
Oh, my poor baby
Where is my baby?
Oh, my poor baby
Just called up your family
They won't know
They're worried just like me
Somebody said they stopped someone like you
Checking in the motel with a pretty girl, too
Oh, my poor baby
Oh, my poor baby
Someone help my baby
Oh, my poor baby
Ooh! Mm-hmm
Is he alright?
Poor baby (poor baby)
Gotta find that man (gotta find that man)
Oo-ooh, I just called up your family undertaker
You're too good for me
You must have been called by our baker
But I was wrong
I know you're still alive (Whoo!)
You must been lying in the ditch on Highway 95, hey!
Oh, my poor baby
Oh, my poor baby
Got to find my baby
Oh, my poor baby (Ohhhhhhhh-owww!)
Where can I find my baby (alright)
Hey, ooh, gotta find that man (gotta find that man)
Yeah, gotta get that man
(Gotta find him, gotta find that man)
Ooh, where is that man?
(Gotta find him. Where is that man?)
Yeah, come on back home
(gotta find him, gotta get that man)
It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day
I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was balin' hay
And at dinner time we stopped and we walked back to the house to eat
And mama hollered at the back door "y'all remember to wipe your feet"
And then she said she got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge
Today Billie Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
Papa said to mama as he passed around the blackeyed peas
"Well, Billie Joe never had a lick of sense, pass the biscuits, please"
"There's five more acres in the lower forty I've got to plow"
Mama said it was shame about Billie Joe, anyhow
Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge
And now Billie Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
And brother said he recollected when he and Tom and Billie Joe
Put a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture show
And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last Sunday night?
"I'll have another piece of apple pie, you know it just don't seem right"
"I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge"
"And now you tell me Billie Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"
Mama said to me "Child, what's happened to your appetite?"
"I've been cookin' all morning and you haven't touched a single bite"
"That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today"
"Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way"
"He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge"
"And she and Billie Joe was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge"
A year has come 'n' gone since we heard the news 'bout Billie Joe
Brother married Becky Thompson, they bought a store in Tupelo
There was a virus going 'round, papa caught it and he died last Spring
And now mama doesn't seem to wanna do much of anything
And me, I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge
If I go a million miles away
I write a letter each and every day
'Cause honey, nothin',
Nothin' can ever change this love
I have for you
Ooh, make me weep,
You can make me cry
See me comin'
And you can pass me by
I know that nothin',
nothin' can ever change this love
I have for you
Oh, you're the apple of my eye
You're cherrie pie
Oh you're cake and ice cream
You're sugar and spice
And everything nice
You're the boy of my, my, my dreams
If you wanted to leave me
And roam
When you get back
I'd just say
Welcome home,
I know that nothin',
Nothin' can ever change the love
I have for you
I know that nothin',
Nothin' can ever change the love
Nothing but heartaches
Ooh, nothing but heartaches
He brings nothing but heartaches
I can't break away from his arms
I can't break away from his charms
I can't break away from his kiss
'Cause his kiss I'll shouldn't miss
All my life
I needed someone to need me
So I do my very best to please him
But the more and more I care
The more of him other girls share
When I need a hand to hold
That's the time he leaves me all alone
Just keeps me, keeps me crying myself to sleep
He brings nothing but heartaches
Ooh, nothing but heartaches
But I can't break away
Oh, no keep a loving him more each day
Oh, I can't break away from his arms
I can't break away from his charms
I can't break away from his kiss
'Cause his kiss I'll shouldn't miss
To him I'm loyal, to him I'm true
Why can't he be the same way too
But the more my love has grown
The less love he had shown
He makes promisses he doesn't keep
Sometimes I don't see him all week
Just keeps me, keeps me crying myself to sleep
He brings nothing but heartaches
Ooh, nothing but heartaches
But I can't break away
Oh, no keep a loving him more each day
Oh, I can't break away from his arms
I can't break away from his charms
I can't break away from his kiss
'Cause his kiss I'll shouldn't miss
Nothing but heartaches
Ooh, nothing but heartaches
I can't break away, oh no

Capricorn, Scorpio, Taurus
Gemini, Virgo, Cancer
Pieces, Leo, Libra
Aries, Aquarius, Sagittarius
The moon shines bright above
And the charts declare it's not my night for love
Ah the beat of my heart
I feel a good vibration
Saying you and me baby
Would make a good combination
There's no need for looking to the stars
Can't you see the stars shine in my eyes
I love you boy,
I really love you boy
No matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are
Can't let astrology chart our destiny
No matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are
The beat of the heart my love
Is stronger than the charts my love
Your water sign just lit my fire
You fill me with such desire
I love you boy,
I really love you boy
No matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are
Can't let astrology chart our destiny
Oh no matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are
Need you beside me love
Only you guide me love
Capricorn, Scorpio, Taurus
Gemini, Virgo, Cancer
Pieces, Leo, Libra
Aries, Aquarius, Sagittarius
I don't care about your rising sign
All I know is when your lips touch mine
You move me boy, you really move me boy
No matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are
Hold me tight, ah hold me
You told me that you love me
You said we'd never part
You took all my love
Then you broke my heart
Never again
Never again will I fall in love
I did everything you wanted me to
'Cause I thought your love was true
But I was blind
And I couldn't see
Why did you do this to me
But I still love you
And I always will
I still thrill to your kiss
But I'll never come back to you
Lying over this
Never again
Will I fall in love
Never again
You packed your bags
As I recall
And you walk slowly down the hall
You said you have to get away
To ease your mind
And all you needed
Was just a little time
Oh, winter's passed, spring, and fall
You never wrote me
You never called, oh, oh
Nathan Jones you've been gone too long
(gone too long, gone too long)
If a woman
Could die of tears
Nathan Jones, I wouldn't be here
The key that you're holding
(Mary)
Holding
Won't fit my door
And there's no room in my heart
For you no more
Because, winter's passed, spring, and fall
You never wrote me (ooh-ooh!)
You never called, oh, oh, oh
Nathan Jones you've been gone too long
(gone too long)
(Doo-doo-doop!)
Nathan!
Hey! Nathan Jones
Hmmm-mmm
Nathan Jones!
Oh, winter's passed, spring, and fall
You never wrote me (you never wrote me)
You never called, (you never called) oh, oh
Nathan Jones you've been gone too long
Mm-mmm, Mm-mmm, gone too long (gone too long)
Nathan Jones you've been gone too long
(gone too long)
(Mary)
You've been gone too long
(Gone too long)
Hey!
Nathan Jones you've been gone too long
(gone too long)
Oh, you've been gone (gone too long)
Nathan Jones you've been gone too long
(gone too long)
My world is empty without you, baby
My world is empty without you, baby
And as I go my way alone
I find it hard for me to carry on
I need your strength
I need your tender touch
I need the love, my dear
I miss so much
My world is empty without you, baby
My world is empty without you, baby
From this old world
I try to hide my face
But from this loneliness
There's no hiding place
Inside this cold and empty house I dwell
In darkness with memories
I know so well
I need love now
More than before
I can hardly
Carry on anymore
My world is empty without you, babe
Without you, babe
(My world is empty) without you, babe
My mind and soul
Have felt like this
Since love between us
No more exist
And each time that darkness falls
It finds me alone
With these four walls
My world is empty without you, babe
Without you, babe
(My world is empty) without you, babe
Without you, babe
My romance doesn't have
To have a moon in the sky
My romance doesn't need
A blue lagoon standing by
No month of May
No twinkling stars
No hide away
No soft guitars
My romance doesn't need
A castle rising in Spain
Nor a dance to a constantly
Surprising refrain
Wide awake
I can make my most
Fantastic dreams come true
My romance doesn't need
A thing but you
My romance doesn't have
To have a moon in the sky
My romance doesn't need
A blue lagoon standing by
No month of May
No twinkling stars
No hide away
No soft guitars
My romance doesn't need
A castle rising in Spain
Nor a dance to a constantly
Surprising refrain
Wide awake
I can make my most
Fantastic dreams come true
My romance doesn't need
It's cost me a lot
But there's one thing that I've got
It's my man.
Cold and wet
Tired, you bet
But all that I soon forget
With my man.
He's not much for looks
And no hero out of books
Is my man.
Two or three girls has he
That he likes as well as me
But I love him.
I don't know why I should.
He isn't good.
He isn't true.
He beats me too.
What can I do?
Oh, my man I love him so.
He'll never know.
All my life is just despair,
But I don't care.
When he takes me in his arms
The world is right, all right.
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know I'll come back on my knees some day?
For whatever my man is
I wanna mother you, smother you
with a love you've never known
I wanna talk to you,
say sweet things to you
Let you know that I'm yours alone
Now, you need a lot of loving,
and my darlin', you need it now
You've been alone for so long
You've forgotten what love is all about
Let me rock you in the cradle of my arms,
let my love protect you from all harm
I'll be your shelter when you want me to
I'll be your comfort when you need me to
I wanna mother you, smother you
with a love that's gentle and true
I wanna talk to you,
say sweet things to you
and my love will see you through
Put your head on my shoulder
Put your hand, darling, in mine
Just let me take you in my arms,
and love away the loneliness you hide
And when life sometimes gets you down,
and you need to cry
Oh, I'll be standing by your side
To be your strength and be your guide
I wanna mother you, smother you
Show me what love is about
I wanna talk to you,
say sweet things to you
Take away all of your doubt
Just let me mother you, smother you
with a love you've never known
I wanna talk to you,
say sweet things to you
Let me know that I'm yours alone
Ooh, mother you, smother you
with a love you've never known
I wanna talk to you,
say sweet things to you
Let me know that I'm yours alone
Mother you,
Something's on my mind
Mother dear the boy keeps me crying
Don't know which way to turn
Keeps me so confused
Keeps me so confused
Mother dear
'Cause for him I yearn
But he treats your daughter bad
Keeps your daughter sad
I wish I didn't love him so
'Cause now I can't let him go
His kiss gets a little sweeter
Ooh, my heart gets a little weaker
I'm falling deeper
Deeper in love each day
I know he's no good for me
But I'm too weak to break away
Ooh, each day love gets a little stronger
Ooh, heartaches lasts a little longer
Help, help me mother dear
'Cause I can't help myself
Ooh, he treats your daughter bad
Keeps your daughter sad
So many times I've tried
Telling him we're through
But when he takes me in his arms
There's nothing I can do
Ooh, it's no use
I can't break loose
I keep love him more and more each passing day
All my love to him I give it
Without him around
I couldn't live
I need him so
And he knows it
Can't let him go
And I show it
Help, help me mother dear
I'm so in love with him
But he treats your daughter bad
Keeps your daughter sad
Help, help me mother dear
Help, help me mother dear
More than the greatest love the world has known
This is the love I give to you alone
More than the simple words I try to say
I'll only live to love you more each day
More than you'll ever know my arms long to hold you so
Until I'll be in your keeping, waiting, sleeping, laughing, weeping
Longer than always is a long, long time
But far beyond forever you'll be mine
I know I'll never live before
And my heart is very sure
No one else will love you more
And more than you'll ever know my arms long to hold you so
Until no one else will love you more
Longer than always is a long, long time
But far beyond forever you'll be mine
I know I'll never live before
And my heart is very sure
The best things in life are free
But you can give them to the birds and bees
I need money
That's what I want
That's what I want, yeah
That's what I want
Your love gives me a thrill
But your love can't pay my bill
I need money
That's what I want
That's what I want, yeah
That's what I want
Money
Lots of money
Whole lot of money
Lots of money
That's what I want, yeah
That's what I want
Money don't get everything it's true
What it don't get, I can't use
I need money
That's what I want
That's what I want, yeah
That's what I want
That's what I want, yeah
That's what I want
Money, money
Is what I want
A whole lot of lean green
That's what I want
Give me money, money
Is what I want
That's what I want, well
Now give me money
ow, money
Wow, yeah, you need money
now, give me money
That's what I want, yeah
The door to my heart was open
Open wide much wider than wide
(I said the door was open)
And I had been praying and hoping
That your love would come walking inside
I should have locked my heart
I should have thrown away the key
Instead I let you walk on through
I thought your love was true
But it was misery
Ooh, heartaches, heartbreaks
That's all I've known
Misery makes my heart its home
(I said the door was open, it was wide open)
My heart had room inside
And to fill it with love I was willing
I wanted it to be occupied
By a love that was strong and fulfilling
I should have shut you out
Detained you with a strong defence
Instead my heart gave shelter to
A love I felt was true
In every sense
Don't you know that
Heartaches, heartbreaks
That's all I've known
Misery makes my heart its home
(My heart had room inside now, it had room inside)
Now I've cried a river
No it's more like a sea
Tears flow by the thousand
Since my heart is housing this misery
Misery
Let me tell you about
Heartaches, heartbreaks
That's all I've known
Misery makes my heart its home
Heartaches, heartbreaks
That's all I've known
Misery makes my heart its home
Heartbreaks
That's all I've known
Michelle, Ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble
Michelle, Ma belle
These are words which go together well
My Michelle
I love you, I love you, I love you
I think you know by now
I'll get to you somehow
Until I do
I'm hoping you will know what I mean
Michelle, Ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble
I will say the only words
I know you'll understand
We'll have Manhattan
The Bronx and Staten Island too
It's lovely going through the Zoo
It's very fancy
On old Delancey Street, you know
The subway charmes us so
When balmy breezes blow
To and fro
And tell me what street
Compares with Mott Street in July
Sweet push carts gently gliding by
The great big city's a wond'rous toy
Just made for a girl and boy
We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy
We'll go to Yonkers
Where true love conquers in the wilds
And starve together, dear in Childs'
We'll go to Coney
And eat bologny on a roll
In Central Park, we'll stroll
Where our first kiss we stole
Soul to soul
And tell me what street
Compares with Mott Street in July
Sweet push carts gently gliding by
The great big city's a wond'rous toy
Just made for a girl and boy
The love bug done bit me
Didn't mean for him to get me
Woo, get up in the morning
And I'm filled with desire
No, no, I can't stop the fire
Love is a real life wire
Ooh, it's a burning sensation
Far behind imagination
Love is like an itching in my heart
Tearing it all apart
Just an itching in my heart
And baby, I can't scratch it
Keeps me sighing, ooh
Keeps me yearning
No, mama can't help me
No, daddy can't help me
I've been bitten by the love bug
And I need some information
To help me out this situation
Now, when you're ill
You take a pill
When your thirsty
Drink your fill
What you gonna do
When love gets a hold
A hold on you
Love is like an itching in my heart
And baby, I can't scratch it
Love is a nagging irritation
Causing my heart complication
Love is a growing infection
And I don't know the correction
Got me rockin' and areelin'
And I can't shake the feelin'
Love is like an itching in my heart
Tearing it all apart
Just an itching in my heart
And baby, I can't scratch it
Keeps me sighing, ooh
Keeps me yearning
Keeps me burning
Keeps me tossing
Keeps me turning
Keeps me yearning
I've been bitten by the love bug
And I need some information
To help me out this situation
Love is a nagging irritation
Causing my heart complication
We're happy holding hands
Ooo, to us love's been grand
Walking down the path of love
While heaven smiles from up above
Cause love is in our hearts.
We stroll through the park
A kiss stolen in the dark
I'm the girl that feels supreme
For he might do most anything
Cause love is in our hearts.
When he looks into my eyes
I feel so good inside
And when he reaches out for me
It's the fourth of July
I'm so happy I could cry.
The moon's not up tonight
Our love lights up the sky
If shadows dark our day
We'll use our love to light our way
Cause love is in our hearts.
Oh, the birds in the trees
Sing lovely melodies
Sing about the love that's strong
A love affair that can't go wrong
Cause love is in our hearts.
Soft music fills the air
We haven't got a care
Our life's filled with joy
Happy is this girl and boy, oh
Cause love is in our hearts.
Love is in our hearts
Sweet love is in our hearts
Sweet love, sweet, sweet,
Sweet love is in our hearts
Love is in our hearts, oh
Love is in our hearts
Love is here and
Oh, my darling, now you're gone
Love is here and
Oh, my darling, now, now you're gone
You persuaded me to love you
And I did
But instead of tenderness
I found heartache instead
Into your arms I fell
So unaware of the loneliness
That was waiting there
You closed the door to your heart
And you turned the key, locked your love away from me
Love is here and
Oh, my darling, now you're gone
You made me love you
And oh, my darling, now you're gone
You said loving you
Would make life beautiful
With each passing day
But as soon as love
Came into my heart
You turned and you walked, just walked away
You stripped me of my dreams
You gave me faith, then took my hope
Look at me now
Look at me
See what loving you has done to me
Look at my face
See how cryin' has left it's trace
After you made me all your own
Then you left me all alone
You made your words sound so sweet
Knowing that your love I couldn't keep
My heart cries out for your touch
But you're not there
And the lonely cry fades in the air
Love is here and
Oh, my darling, now you're gone
Love is here and
Oh, my darling, now you're gone
You made me love you
Oh, my darling
Now you're gone
You made me love you
Oh, my darling
Ooh--------------- Oo-oo-ooh, ooh, ooh
Oo-ooh------------ Oo-oo-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh--------------- Oo-oo-ooh, ooh, ooh
Oo-ooh------------ Oo-oo-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, love
I never knew you could feel so good
Whoa-oh-oh, love
I never knew you could feel so good
Whoo!
I should have known you before
It would've been like long ago
Oh, but I tried to move myself (Move myself)
Being not myself, only deny myself
Oh, oh, ohhhhhh! Yeah!
Wanna talk about it, oo-ooh!
Oh, oh, ohhhhhh! Yeah!
Love
I never knew you could feel so good
Whoa-oh-oh, love
I never knew you could feel so good
Whoo!
You're caught up in my heart, Ow!
You're the reason, you're the start
Yeah!
My life is such a groovy thing
Gonna laugh and sing, what a joy it brings
Ohh, oh, oh, yeah!
Can you feel it? Ooh!
Oh, oh, ohhhhhh! Yeah!
Can you feel it?
Love
I never knew you could feel so good
Whoa-oh-oh, love
I never knew you could feel so good
Love

Whoa-oh-oh, love
Feel so good---

Sweet, sweet love
Love
I never knew you could feel so good
Whoa-oh-oh, love
I never knew you could feel so good
Ooh, love
I never knew you could feel so good
Whoa-oh-oh, love
I never knew you could feel so good
Yeah
Love
I never knew you could feel so good
Whoa-oh-oh, love
I never knew you could feel so good, yeah
Ooh.. love
I never knew you could feel so good
You think that I don't feel love
But what I feel for you is real love
In other's eyes I see reflected
A hurt, scorned, rejected
Love child, never meant to be
Love child, born in poverty
Love child, never meant to be
Love child, take a look at me
I started my life in an old, cold run down tenement slum
My father left, he never even married mom
I shared the guilt my mama knew
So afraid that others knew I had no name
This love we're contemplating
Is worth the pain of waiting
We'll only end up hating
The child we may be creating
Love child, never meant to be
Love child, (scorned by) society
Love child, always second best
Love child, different from the rest
Mmm, baby (hold on, hold on, just a little bit)
Mmm, baby (hold on, hold on, just a little bit)
I started school, in a worn, torn, dress that somebody threw out
I knew the way it felt, to always live in doubt
To be without the simple things
So afraid my friends would see the guilt in me
Don't think that I don't need you
Don't think I don't wanna please you
No child of mine 'll be bearing
The name of shame I've been wearing
Love child, love child, never quite as good
Afraid, ashamed, misunderstood
But I'll always love you
I'll always love you
I'll always love you
I'll always love you
I'll always love you
The babe that was born of Mary
One cold and wintry night
He laid in the manger lonely
A star that shined so bright
No, No, how the angels sing
No, No, how did heavens ring
The babe that was born of Mary
One cold and wintry night
The shepherds abiding in the fields
Were watching over their sheep
And then in the town of Bethlehem
Mary sang her darling to sleep
The earth was filled with the precious love
Of the holy child sent from up above
The shepherds abiding in the fields
Were watching over their sheep.
And out of the East three wise men came
To see the promised king
The knelt down before this holy child
And then all three
They praised this one who had come to earth
And the glories of this wond'rous birth
And out of the East three wise men came
To see the promised king.
Keep an eye
Keep an eye
Keep an eye
On your close friend
Keep an eye
Keep an eye
Keep an eye
On your close friend
'Cause what you got that'll make you lose
And then turn around and step in your shoes
I say they'll turn around
And step in your shoes
Like the day I stood there numb
Watchin' my friend walk away
With my love on her arm
No, what she left me was
The memory of the moment when she said
"I'm sorry for what I have to do
But you see I love him just as much as you"
Keep an eye
Keep an eye
On your close friend
Keep an eye
Keep an eye
You better watch out
For your close friend
The devil's workshop is a busy place
On top of evil there's an innocent face
Oh, on top of evil he puts an innocent face
She was just like a spider
Only twice as smart
Kindness was the thread
She used to weave our world apart
It used to be three of us seen all over town
Now there's only two
Someone's missing guess who
Now I see how she schemed and finally
Worked her way in between
She planted seeds of mistrust here and there
Causin' us to fight unaware
Her comforting way when I would cry
Shadowed the look of triumph in her eye
Just like a snake on a limb of a tree
A friend is an enemy you can see
'Cause what you got that'll make you lose
And then turn around and step in your shoes
They'll turn around
And step in your shoes
So you better keep an eye on your close friend
You better watch out for your close friend
Don't trust nobody
Don't trust nobody
Keep an eye on your close friend
It's a cold girl
To hurt her fellow
And watch him walk away cryin'
When all along
She knows she's wrong
To be so hard on a fellow that's tryin'
I was so unkind to hurt you so
Goin' out of my mind
I just gotta let you know
I remember you said
You will always care
Till death should we do part
Then it surely must be
My destiny
To die the death of a broken heart
So before I become a wonderin' rover
Let's go together
Talk this things over now
That's all it is, yeah, yeah
We've been lovin' so long
That it just seems wrong
That our love could never be
You could be anywhere
Baby, I wouldn't care
If I thought that you needed me
All the chains in the world
Couldn't hold me, couldn't hold me
Like a robot your love
Controls me, controls me
Baby, please don't go
I realize I love you so
Our love surely can be mended
Joy to the world
The lord is come
Let earth receive her king
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and heaven and nature sing
Joy to the world
The savior reigns
Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods
Rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy
He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of his righteousness
The wonders of his love
And wonders of his love
And wonders, and wonders
And wonders of his love
And wonders of his love
And wonders of his love
And wonders, and wonders
Johnny could only sing one note
And the note he sang was this:
Poor Johnny one note sang out with gusto
And just overloaded the place
Poor Johnny one note he yelled willy-nilly
Until he was blue in the face
For holding one note was his ace
Couldn't hear the brass
Couldn't hear the drum
He was in a class
By himself, by gum
Poor Johnny one note got in Aida
Indeed a great chance to be brave
He took his one note
Howled like the North Wind
Brought forth wind that made critics rave
While Verdi turned round in his grave!
Couldn't hear the flute
Or the big trombone
Everyone was mute
Johnny stood alone
Sing Johnny one note
Sing out with gusto and just overwhelm all the crowd
So sing Johnny one note out loud
For holding one note was his ace
Couldn't hear the flute
Or the big trombone
Everyone was mute
Johnny stood alone
Couldn't hear the brass
Couldn't hear the drum
He was in a class
By himself, by gum
He stopped train whistles
Boat whistles
Steam whistles
Cop whistles
All whistles bowed in his skill
Ah Ah
Sing Johnny one note
Sing out with gusto and just overwhelm all the crowd
So sing Johnny one note out loud
Sing out loud
Ah Ah
You're sweet as a honey bee
But like a honey bee stings
You've gone and left my heart in pain
All you left is our favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
It used to bring sweet memories
Of a tender love that used to be
Now it's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
A sentimental fool am I
to hear a old love song
And wanna cry
But the melody keeps haunting me
Reminding me how in love we used to be
Keep hearing the part that used to touch my heart
Saying together forever
Breaking up never
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
Precious memories keep a lingering on
Everytime I hear our favorite song
Now you're gone
Left this emptiness
I only reminisce
The happiness we spent
We used to dance on the music
Make romance through the music
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
I've got no strings to hold me down
To make me fret, or make me frown
I had strings but now I'm free
There are no strings on me
I've got no strings so I have fun
And I'm not tied to anyone
How I love my liberty
There are no strings on me
Hi-ho the me-ri-o
I'm as happy as can be
And I want the world to know
Nothing ever worries me
I've got no strings to hold me down
To make me fret, or make me frown
I had strings but now I'm free
There are no strings on me
Why does the gay little dicky bird sing
What put the zing in a butterfly's wing
What's the reason for the smile of a troubadour?
Why does the breeze have a barrel of fun?
Even the bee who's a son of a gun
All because they're free
And stringless the same as me
I've got no strings to hold me down
To make me fret, or make me frown
I had strings but now I'm free
There are no strings on me
I'm as happy as can be
Nothing ever worries me
I've got no strings so I have fun
And I'm not tied to anyone
How I love my liberty
There are no strings on me
There ain't no strings on me
Goodbye loneliness, going on to happiness
Along I faced your frowning face
And held your false embrace
My sighs, my longing nights
Baby my doubts and fears
Then love just came in on me
And wiped away my tears
And it won't stop, won't stop at just hugging
And it won't stop, won't stop at just kissing
And it won't stop, won't stop at just squeezing
Going all the way to true, true love, ooh real true love
And day by day you watched me wait on my lonely cloud
But it was just a matter of faith
It's love, it's no mistake
For things that have passed, honey, our things to come
When faith took my broken heart and mended it with love
And it won't stop, won't stop at just hugging
And it won't stop, won't stop at just kissing
And it won't stop, won't stop at just squeezing
Going all the way to true, true love, ooh real true love soulful love
So long empty room, no more night with gloom
For now a precious love I share with tender love and care
What lips I have missed, what arms I've waited for
But no more loneliness, it's happiness for sure
And it won't stop, won't stop at just hugging
And it won't stop, won't stop at just kissing
And it won't stop, won't stop at just squeezing
Going all the way to true, true love, ooh real true love
OK, it's all right
It's the wrong time and the wrong place
Though your face is charming, it's the wrong face
It's not his face, but such a charming face
That it's alright with me
It's the wrong song with the wrong style
Though your smile is lovely, it's the wrong smile
It's not his smile, but such a lovely smile
That it's alright with me
You can't know how happy I am that we met
I'm strangely attracted to you
There's someone I'm longing so hard to forget
Don't you wanna forget someone too
It's the wrong game with the wrong chips
Though your lips are tempting, they're the wrong lips
They're not his lips, but they're such tempting lips
That it's all right with me
Say it's all right,
It's all right
It's all right with me
It's not his face
But such a charming face
That it's alright with me
It's not his smile
But such a lovely smile
That it's alright with me
You can't know how happy I am that we met
I'm strangely attracted to you
There's someone I'm longing so hard to forget
Don't you wanna forget someone too
It's the wrong game with the wrong chips
Though your lips are tempting, they're the wrong lips
They're not his lips, but they're such tempting lips
That it's all right with me
Say it's all right,
It's all right
Baby, it's all your fault
You made me love you
You made me need you
Baby, it's all your fault
I keep tellin' myself
I need you and no one else
'Cause your lips
Has the kiss of fire
That takes hold to my
My every desire
When you take me in your arms
And hold me close
My heart tells me
It's you I need the most
Ooh baby, ooh baby, ooh my baby
Sweet words you speak
Is like a melody
They go on and on
Like an old sweet song
Just echoing
All through my heart
Just makes you a part
A part of me, sweetheart
Baby, it's all your fault
You made me love you
You made me need you
You've got me in your power
And there I'll remain
'Cause in my heart I know
I don't want to change
And baby, it's all your fault
I can't help myself
Oh no, I can't help myself
In your arms safe and warm
Never conceive the right from the wrong
Prisoner of love am I
Caught in the web of tenderness tempting me
Doing the things you say willingly
Even your pain not bear for a sign you care
But it's never there
I'm a fool (I'm a fool)
Say no more (say no more)
'Cause it's all been said before
In the mirror of my mind (of my mind)
Your reflection's all I find
I'm a slave (I'm a slave)
At your door (at your door)
But with all been said before
And the saddest thing I do
I'm just keep on loving you
Candlelight, a glass of wine
Feeling your beating heart close to mine
Hold back the hands of time
Don't land tomorrow at my feet haunting me
Only the strong survive easily
I never seen the lies hiding in your eyes
And it's no surprise
I'm a fool (I'm a fool)
Say no more (say no more)
'Cause it's all been said before
In the mirror of my mind (of my mind)
Your reflection's all I find
I'm a slave (I'm a slave)
At your door (at your door)
But with all been said before
And the saddest thing I do
I'm just keep on loving you
Once I laughed when I heard your saying
That I'd be playing solitaire
Uneasy in my easy chair
It never entered my mind
Once you told me I was mistaken
That I'd awaken with the sun
And ordered orange juice for one
It never entered my mind
You have what I laughed myself
Now I even have to scratch my back myself
Once you warned me that if you scorned me
I'd singing the maiden's prayer again
And wish that you were there again
To get into my hair again
It never entered my mind
It makes no difference now
What kind of life fate hands me
I'll get along without you
Now that's plain to see
I don't care what happens next
But I'll get by somehow
And I don't worry 'cause
It makes no difference now
Now that we have really parted
I can't believe we're through
And I don't blame myself
And I'm sure I can't blame you
I know something had to happen
And it happened somehow
And I don't worry 'cause
It makes no difference now
After all is said and done
I'll soon forget you
Although I know it will be so hard to do
Let things happen as they will
I'll get by somehow
I don't worry 'cause
It makes no difference now
Not now
Let things happen as they will
I'll get by somehow
I don't worry 'cause
Blue moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon
You knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms would ever hold
I heared somebody whisper
"Please, adore me"
And when I looked
The moon had turned to gold
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
And then there's suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms would ever hold
I heared somebody whisper
"Please, adore me"
And when I looked
The moon had turned to gold
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Is there a place in his heart for me permanently?
(Or is it just)
Or is it just another heartache for me
That I refuse to see?
Evening comes and he whispers
Those pretty words he knows I wanna hear
Is it for real or just a play
Where I give in, oh, and he gets his way?
Oh, tell me
Tell me what happens when the final act is over
Will he be there?
'Cause promises at night are so easily made
But they can disappear at the light of day
So I ask myself over and over
Is there a place in his heart for me permanently?
The way he says "I love you"
Makes me feel so good inside
But how can he expect me to surrender
In some short of time?
There's just too many guys
That'll break a girl's heart and walked slowly out the door
I've had too many heartaches
I can't stand anymore
Promises at night are so easily made
But they can disappear at the light of day
So I ask myself over and over
Is there a place in his heart for me permanently?
Words that I said keep filling my head
Yet I'm reluctant to believe them
Those same words in the past
They never seemed to last
More than a moment's embrace
And tenderness turns to emptiness
Promises at night are so easily made
But they can disappear at the light of day
So I ask myself over and over
Is there a place in his heart for me permanently?
Promises at night are so easily made
But they can disappear at the light of day
So I ask myself over and over
Is there a place in his heart for me permanently?
Promises at night are so easily made
But they can disappear at the light of day
So I ask myself over and over
Keep falling in and out of love
In search for what I'm dreaming of
I long to find a love I'm sure about
That certain kind of love that moves all doubts
Keep falling in and out of love
Still searchin' for that special one
To whom I can give my love completely
And feel a lasting love so sweetly
Just when I feel sure love's here to stay
It seems to suddenly just fade away
Can't seem to find that everlasting love
That this heart of mine needs so much of
Keep falling in and out of love
Can't seem to find the lasting kind
It seems I can't find the joy I need
Love always somehow all goes wrong for me
Keep falling in and out of love
Keep falling in and out of love
I keep reaching out for tenderness
Touching a hand that holds emptiness
Well,I'm looking for a love that lingers on
Long after that first kiss is gone
That kind of love that keeps burning bright
Long after we've said goodnight
Keep falling in and out of love
In search for what I'm dreaming of
I think of you when I'm alone
And dark of night begins to fall
I hear the things we used to say
But tender things I still recall
And when your words come back to me
That's when I need you most of all
My love
Oh, my love
There, in the desperation
Of all my secret longings
I try forgetting you would know
How can I?
Our words of love and laughter
Will live forever after
Though they were spoken long ago
And so each night I think of you
And hear the words we used to say
My love
Oh, my love
I hear the silent voices
Those silent voices
And then the sound begins to build within me
And as the night gets longer
They keep on going stronger
Until they're driving me insane
It's tearing me apart
That's how I know you will remain
The love that's always in my heart
I still can feel your tender lips
The lips that promised to be true
And just as long as I can breathe
In dreams I keep believing you
My love
Oh, my love
I hear the silent voices
Those silent voices
And then the sound begins to build within me
And as the night gets longer
They keep on going stronger
Until they're driving me insane
It's tearing me apart
That's how I know you will remain
If I ruled the world
Every day would be
The first day of Spring
Every heart would have
A new song to sing
And we'd sing of the joy
Every morning would bring
If I ruled the world
Every man would be
As free as a bird
Every voice would be
A voice to be heard
Take my word
We would treasure each day
That occurred
My world would be
A beautiful place
Where we would weave
Such a wonderful dream
My world would wear
A smile on its face
Like the man in the moon
When the moon beams
If I ruled the world
Every man would say
The world was his friend
There'd be happiness
That no man could end
No my friend
Not if I ruled the world
Every head
Would be held up high
There'd be sunshine
In everyone's sky
If day ever dawned
When I ruled the world
If a girl isn't pretty, really pretty
Like a Miss Atlantic City.
If a girl isn't pretty like a Miss Atlantic City
All she gets in life is pity and a pat
Any nose with deviation
Is a crime against the nation
Throw her into jail or maybe drown the cat.
She must shine in every detail
Like a ring you buy in retail
With a mounting that can knock the public flat
If a girl isn't pretty like a Miss Atlantic City
There's just nothing more to say: that's that
(That's that).
If a girl isn't pretty like a Miss Atlantic City
She should dump the stage and try another route
Any guy that spends a quarter
For a seat just feels he ought-a
See a figure that his wife can't substitute.
Men with faces that can cause ya
To have a temporary nausea
Will demand a raving beauty and nothing less
When a girl's incidentals
Are no bigger than two lentils
Well, to me that doesn't spell success.
(No, no, no, no, no, no
If a girl isn't pretty, if a girl isn't pretty).
If a girl ain't perfection
She can take a pop election
Every girl must be a dazzler and a beaut'
Never mind the girl's equipment
If it ain't the right assortment
Even though she loves her mother
And she's nice to her brother
If her hair ain't too bright curly
Better go to China, girlie
Or to hell on a fast express.
If a girl isn't pretty like a Miss Atlantic City
Hey, can we have your autograph?
My autograph?
I'm nobody
But wait a minute
I've got 36 expressions
Sweet as pie to tough as leather
And that's six expressions more
Than all the Barrymores put together
Only six?
Instead of kicking me
I don't think they give me a lift
I think it's a plot
'Cause they're scared that I got
Such a gift, I'm miffed
'Cause I'm the greatest star
I am by far, but nobody knows it
Wait, they're gonna hear a voice
A silver flute
They'll cheer each toot
When I expose it
Can't you see the look at me
That I'm a natural Camille?
As Camille I just feel
I have so much to offer
I know I'll be divine because
I'm a natural cougher
Some ain't got it, not a lump
She a great big clump of talent
Laugh, they'll bend in half
Did I tell the story about the traveling salesman?
A thousand laughs
Stick around for 'em folks
A thousand faces, I reiterate
When you're gifted
Then you're gifted
These are facts, I have no axe to grind
Hey, what are they blind
In all of the world so far
I'm the greatest star
Who is the pip with pizazz?
Who is all ginger and jazz?
Who is as glamorous as?
Who's an American beauty rose
With that American beauty nose
And ten American beauty toes
Eyes on the target and wham
One shot, one gun shot and bam
Hey, world, here I am!
I'm the greatest star
I am by far
But nobody knows it
That's why I was born
I'll blow my horn
'Till somebody hears it
I'll light up like a light
Right up like a light
I'll flicker and flare up
All the world's gonna stare up
Looking down
You'll never see me
Try the sky
'Cause that'll be me
I can make 'em cry
I can make 'em sigh
Someday they'll clamor
For my dram-er
Have you guessed yet
Who's the best yet
If you ain't I'll tell you one more time
You bet yer last dime
In all the world so far
She's the greatest, greatest
Funny, life is far from sunny
When the laugh is over
And the jokes on you
Well, a girl's gotta have a sense of humor
That's one things you really needs for sure
When you're a funny girl
The fellow said "A funny girl"
Funny, how it ain't so funny girl
They're the luckiest people in the world
With one person, one very special person
A feeling deep in your soul says
You were half, now you're whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People who need people
Each day you've got someone new
A new heart to break
And leave feeling blue
For you're a handsome guy
Girls just can't pass you by
But I can, my friend
I'm the exception to the rule
I know you think I'm just acting the part
Of the girl with the cold, cold heart
And it won't take long
For you to capture me
With your innocent but meaningful plea
But you won't capture me
I'm the exception to the rule
You tell me
Darling that's where you're wrong
That your love for me is oh so strong
That you will soon, very soon
Make me give in
I know that nine girls out of every ten
Wants you to be their man
But there I am again
That one in ten
So it's useless
For you to try and change me
Because I won't give in, my friend
You could fool all the girls
With your lies
About you being so sweet and kind
But oh no, not me
I'm the exception to the rule
Give it up
I'm the one you can't fool
I'm the one
I'm the exception to the rule
Give it up
I'm the one you can't fool
I'm the one
The exception to the rule
Give it up
I'm the one you can't fool
I'm the one
It's times like this, love
When my heart is filled with heavenly bliss
And you've given me a tender kiss
I begin to realize I'm so thankful that you're mine
'Cause I'm glad, so glad
Glad, glad I got somebody like you around
My heart grows fonder, baby, of you each and every day
Can't you hear it's singing praises, baby
To you in its own sweet way
Let you know sure I'm glad I got you
I don't think I could make it without you
'Cause I'm glad, so glad
Glad, glad I got somebody like you around
Glad, glad, glad, glad I got you
Glad, glad, glad, glad I got you
You better believe I'm having the time of my life
I'd be so proud if you'd ask me to be your wife
I hope and pray that it might be real soon
Like early in the morning or right this afternoon
'Cause I'm glad, so glad
I'm glad, glad I got somebody like you around
I remember all the tears, love
You washed away through childhood years
You were always very near, love
When I needed somebody, when I needed somebody
When I needed somebody like you around
When I needed somebody, when I needed somebody
When I needed somebody like you around
'Cause I'm glad, glad I got you
Mama's cooking bread
She wore a dirty, raggedy scarf around her head
Always had her stockings low, rolled to her feet
She just didn't know
She wore a sloppy dress
Oh, no matter how she tried, she always looked a mess
Out of the pot she ate, never used a fork, or a dinner plate
I was always so afraid that my uptown friends would see her
Afraid one day when I was grown, that I would be her
Ah, in a college town
Away from home a new identity I found
Said I was born elite, with maids and servants at my feet
I must have been insane
I lied and said mama died on a weekend trip to Spain
She never got out of the house, never even boarded a train
Married a guy, was living high
I didn't want him to know her
She had a grandson two years old
That I never even showed her
I'm living in shame
Mama I miss you
I know you're not to blame
Mama I miss you
Came a telegram
Mama passed away while making homemade jam
Before she died, she cried to see me by her side
She always did her best
Oh, cooked and cleaned and always in the same old dress
Working hard, down on her knees
Always trying to please
Mama, mama, mama can you hear me?
Mama, mama, mama can you hear me?
I'm living in shame, mama I miss you
I know you're not to blame, mama I miss you.
Won't you forgive me mom?
For all the wrong I've done?
I love you so much mom.
I know you've done the very best you could
But I never understood
Working hard down on her knees...
Love came through my window and right out the door
Leaving me alone and hurt forever more
Suddenly you came, you saw, you captured my heart
So tenderly you came to rescue in time this heart of mine.
Now no more by myself, no more hurt to be felt
And no more long and sleepless nights
Now that I am in love again
And no more long and sleepless nights
Now that I am in love again
Once in heartbreak I believed always in heartache
Lost in sorrow with little hope for tomorrow
Instantly when you smiled at me my heart stood still
All the emptiness I had inside you lovingly fulfilled.
I then felt born again and it feels so grand
And no more long and sleepless nights
Now that I am in love again
Now no more long and sleepless nights
Now that I am in love again
Now no more long and sleepless nights
I'm gonna do all the thing for you
A girl wants a man to do
Oh, baby (Oh, baby)
I'll sacrifice for you
I'll even do wrong for you
Oh, baby (Oh, baby)
Every minute, every hour
I'm gonna shower you
With love and affection
Look out, it's comin' in your direction
And I'm
I'm gonna make you love me
Oh, yes I will
Yes I will
I'm gonna make you love me
Oh, yes I will
Yes I will
Look here
My love is strong, you see
I know you'll never get tired of me
Oh, baby (Oh, baby)
And I'm gonna use every trick in the book
I'll try my best to get you hooked
Hey, baby (Hey, baby)
And every night, every day
I'm gonna say
I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you
Look out boy, 'cause I'm gonna get you
I'm gonna make you love me
Oh, yes I will
Yes I will
And I'm gonna make you love me
Oh, yes I will
You know I will
Every breathe I take
And each and every step I make
Brings me closer, baby
Closer to you
And with each beat of my heart
For every day we're apart
I'll hunger for every wasted hour
And I...
Every night
And every day
I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you
Look out, 'cause I'm gonna get you
I'm gonna make you love me
Oh, yes I will
Yes I will
I'm gonna make you love me
Oh, yes I will
Yes I will
I'm gonna make you love me
Oh, yes I will
Yes I will
I'm gonna make you love me
Oh, yes I will
I'm gonna make it, I will wait for you
I'm gonna make it, I will wait for you.
When you went away
There's nothing I could say
But now I feel the hurt's coming over me
Wishing you were here, thinking ,out you, dear
Every night and day the way it used to be
Although it's been so long since you were by my side
I'll keep holding on and won't let this love die.
I'm gonna make it, I will wait for you
I'm gonna make it, I will wait for you.
Every girl has a dream of happiness
But all I dream of you's your sweet caress
I just can't tell you how I miss you so
But all my love I won't let go, oh.
I'm gonna make it, I will wait for you
I'm gonna make it, I will wait for you.
Everywhere I go the tears begin to flow
Cause I pass by every place we used to meet
And when I'm home alone
My friends call me on the phone
They all say that you will not return to me
I know you're gone without me
Although I don't know where
I know you're thinking bout me, I feel it in the air.
I'm trying not to let another take your place
Even though the loneliness is on my face
You can't let someone take what they don't own
Baby, I'm yours, so please come home.
I'm gonna make it, I will wait for you
Goodbye my love
Happy life my love
I'm tired and I just can't take no more
Tired of being tough
'Cause enough is enough
This time I'm really headed for the door
You better believe
I'm gonna let my heart do the walking
(Whoo-oo, oo-oo)
Walk me in to something good
(So good, so good)
I'm gonna let my heart do the walking
(Do the walking)
Oh, it ain't no make believin'
My heart's set on leaving
You take my very best
And give me less
I'm tired and I just can't take no more
Your love is unstable
Darling, while I'm able
Gonna ease on out the door
You better believe
I'm gonna let my heart do the walking
(Whoo-oo, oo-oo)
Walk me in to something good
(So good, so good)
I'm gonna let my heart do the walking
(Do the walking)
Oh, I never thought I could
But I'm leaving for good
Gonna let it do the walking, baby
(Do the walking)
Ooh, I'm gonna let it do the walking, baby
(Do the walking)
Oh, oh, oh, oh-ooo
Walk on heart, walk on
Walk on heart, tip on out the door
Walk on heart, walk on
Walk on heart, tip on out the door
Walk on heart, walk on
Walk on heart
Walk on out the door with your bad self
I'm gonna let my heart do the walking
(Whoo-oo, oo-oo)
Walk me in to something good
(So good, so good)
I'm gonna let my heart do the walking
(Do the walking)
Oh, I never thought I could
But I'm leaving for good
I'll let my heart do the walking, baby
I'm gonna let it do the walking, yes I am
I'm gonna let it do the walking, baby
Oh, hey, hey
I'm gonna let, let, let my heart do the walking, yeah
Walk me in to something good
I didn't even say I wanted you, woman
I didn't even stop to think why I survived you, woman
But you walked into my life
Like nobody's business
And you changed and re-arranged me
You turn me around
And you didn't even ask me
Hey, girl, you know you did
I didn't even think when I met you
I'll be your woman
Even only able to get through to you
Just like a woman
But I seemed so cleverly
Somehow you got to me
And now I want you with all my heart
And though I didn't want it from the start
(From the start)
I'm glad about it
Glad about it, woman
Oh, I'm-a glad about it
Glad about it, woman
I told you "You were wasting your time on me, woman"
And I knew about the others waiting in line
To be your woman
Yes, we were such a silly pair
Couldn't see what was there
At first, I didn't know you hanging around
But today I'm so thankful that I found
(That I found)
I'm glad about it
Glad about it, woman
Oh baby, I'm-a glad about it
Glad about it, woman
Oh yeah
Want you to be so proud of me
I want to learn about you
So glad that He looked down on me
Showed me that I cannot live without you
You're doing me wrong
Leading me on
I can see there's no need for me
So I'm gonna have to set you free
I'm giving you your freedom
To find somebody new
There's no sense in both of us
Making each other blue
Every time I wanted you around
You were nowhere to be found
The price I pay to love you
Is too much to bear
And it's unfair when you don't really care
I'm giving you your freedom
To find somebody new
There's no sense in both of us
Making each other blue
I tried so hard to make you happy with me
But now I see our love could never be
I can't deny I'm still in love with you
But this is it, I'm callin' it quits
I'm giving you your freedom
To find somebody new
There's no sense in both of us
Making each other blue
There's no sense in the both of us
Making each other blue
There's no sense in the both of us
Take your love from me
I'll turn to stone
Turn to stone
If your love I couldn't call my own
I'll turn to stone
Turn to stone
I need your love in every way
It's your love I cling to
When things slip away
Take your love away
I'll be lost and alone
No reason for living
All purpose would be gone
Without you there
For my eyes to behold
My life would be empty
My heart would grow old
If you take your love from me
I'll turn to stone
Turn to stone
If your love I couldn't call my own
I'll turn to stone
Turn to stone
When I think of love
I think of me and you
When I think of happiness
I think of us too
You're my yesterdays
And all my tomorrows
You're the air I breathe
Everything I need
If from my life
You were ever gone
I'd fall to pieces
You I depend on
If you take your love from me
I'll turn to stone
Turn to stone
If your love I couldn't call my own
I'll turn to stone
Turn to stone
Picture me without you
You see someone searching
A figure of sadness
Who's heart won't stop hurting
Sorrow would be written
On my face
By the pen of loneliness
Time couldn't erase
I'd be like a statue in a park
Cold and alone
A girl with no heart
If you take your love from me
I'll turn to stone
Turn to stone
If your love I couldn't call my own
I'll turn to stone
Turn to stone
Turn to stone
Turn to stone
Just turn to stone, turn to stone
If your love I couldn't call my own
I'll turn to stone
I will build you a castle with a tower so high
Till it reaches the moon
I'll gather melodies from birdies that fly
And compose you a tune
Give you lovin' as warm as Mama's oven
And if that don't do
Then I'll try something new
I'll try something new
I will take you away with me as far as I can
To Venus or Mars
There we will love with your hand in my hand
You'll be king of the stars
Every day we can play on the Milky Way
And if that don't do
I'll have to try something new
I'll try something new
I will bring you a flower from the floor of the sea
To wear in your hair
(Thank you)
I'll do anything and every little thing to make you happy, boy
To show you that I care
I'll pretend I'm jealous of all the fellas
And if that don't do
Then I'll try something new
Oh, baby life could be something wonderful
Wonderful
You keep me satisfied
I need you by my side
But you wanna leave today
Don't throw it all away
The tender love we knew
The tender love so true
The happiness we shared
Just knowin' someone cared
You're gonna need me
Like you needed me before
Need me, baby
Come back and close the door
Can't cool all my emotion
Can't cool all my devotion
Life could be something wonderful
I'll set you free
Something wonderful
I'll set you free
In your sweet caress
It's better than livin' a life of loneliness
Ooh I'm givin' you all I had to give
Each day made me proud to live
You took the best of me
If you don't want the rest of me
I'll set you free
Fine fine
I'll set you free
Fine fine
I don't want nobody who don't want me, ooh
You're gonna miss the love I've been givin'
You're gonna miss the life you've been livin'
You're gonna need me I know it
You're gonna want me
But I'll set you free, I'll set you free
Ooh, I'll set you free, I'll set you free
You don't care about me
Ooh, life could be something wonderful
Something wonderful
Here's a sweet caress
It's better than livin' a life of loneliness
You're gonna be lonely boy
Ooh I'm givin' you all I had to give
Each day made me proud to live
You took the best of me
If you don't want the rest of me
I'll set you free
I'll set you free
I'll set you free
Don't want nobody who don't want me
Yeah, you're gonna be lonely
You're gonna miss the love I've been givin'
You're gonna miss the life you've been livin'
You're gonna want me, baby I know it
You're gonna want me, but I'll set you free
I could be, oh baby, I could be
Oh baby, I could be
Anything I wanna be
Well, I'll be doggone if I wouldn't work all day
And I'll be doggone if I wouldn't bring you my pay
But if I ever caught you running around
Blowing my money all over this town
Then I wouldn't be doggone
Hey, Hey! I'd be long gone
Then I wouldn't be doggone
I'd be long gone
Now hey, hey, hey!
I'll be doggone if you ain't a pretty thing
And I'll be doggone if you ain't warm as a breath of spring
And if we live to be a hundred years old
If you ever let that spring turn cold
Then I wouldn't be doggone
Hey! I'd be long gone
Oh I wouldn't be doggone
I'd be long gone
Now did you hear what I say ?
Well now what I say
Oh, believe me Well, every woman should try
To be what ever has man wants her to be
And I don't want much
All I want from you is for you to be true to me
Well, I'd be doggone if love ain't a man's best friend
Oh, baby, And I'll be doggone if you ain't the loving end
Though I know you make me feel like no baby could
If I ever found out that you're no good
Then I wouldn't be doggone
Hey, hey, hey, I'd be long gone
Well I wouldn't de doggone baby
I tell you something
I think you'll understand
When I'll say that something
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
Oh please say to me
That you will be my man
and please say to me
you'll let me hold your hand
Now, let me hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
And when I touch you
I feel happy inside
It's such a feeling that my love
I can't hide
I can't hide
I can't hide
Yeah, you got that something
I think you'll understand
When I say that something
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
And when I touch you
I feel happy inside
It's such a feeling that my love
I can't hide
I can't hide
I can't hide
Yeah, you got that something
I think you'll understand
When I say that something
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
I want a guy to love me
One who will love me completely
Not like the last
Who's in the past
Who broke my heart and made me cry
I wish that he would come and kiss me
And tell me that he misses me
I know someday
He'll come my way
And I'll never be lonely again
I don't need riches like diamond rings
As long as he loves me
That's everything
As long as he holds me tight
As long as he treats me right
I'll never let him out of my sight
I want a guy with a love that's true
One that I can tell my troubles to
He'll be my guy
And stay by my side
I'd be so glad if I only had
A guy, a guy
Why can't I have a guy
Maybe you'll wanna give me kisses sweet
But only for one night with no repeat
And maybe you'll go away and never call
And a taste of honey is worse than none at all
Oh, little girl!
In that case I don't want no part
I do believe that that would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
If you got the notion
I second that emotion
So, if you feel like giving me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion
Maybe you think that love would tie you down
And you don't have the time to hang around
Or maybe you think that love was made for fools
And so it makes you wise to break the rules
Oh, little girl!
In that case I don't want no part
I do believe that that would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
If you got the notion
I second that emotion
So, if you feel like giving me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion
Oh, little girl
In that case I don't want no part
I do believe that that would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
If you got the notion
I second that emotion
So, if you feel like giving me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion
Oh, little girl
You've given me a true love
and every day I thank you love
For a feeling that's so new
So inviting, so exciting
Whenever you're near
I hear a symphony
A tender melody
Pulling me closer
Closer to your arms
Then suddenly, I hear a symphony
Ooh, your lips are touching mine
A feeling so divine
'Till I leave the past behind
I'm lost in a world
Made for you and me
Whenever you're near
I hear a symphony
Play sweet and tenderly
Every time your lips meet mine now baby
Baby, baby
You bring much joy within
Don't let this feeling end
Let it go on and on and on
Now baby, baby
Those tears that fill my eyes
I cry not for myself
But for those who never felt the joy we felt
Whenever you're near
I hear a symphony
Each time you speak to me
I hear a tender rapsody of love now
Baby, baby
As you stand holding me
Whispering how much you care
A thousand violins fill the air
Now baby, baby
Don't let this moment end
Keep standing close to me
Ooh, so close to me, baby, baby
Baby, baby
I hear a symphony
It always been accepted
It had a certain style
Living unaffected 'til I saw you smile
A smile's a shortest distance
Love's a one-way track
Once you started rolling
Ain't no turning back
Oh, I (I had to fall in love)
Had to fall in love (I had to fall in love)
Oh, oh.. I had to fall in love with you
Oh, I (I had to fall in love)
Had to fall in love (I had to fall in love)
Ohhh, oh, fall in love
Suppose it's only natural
It happens all the time
That's what makes the world go round
You put a spin on mine
Set my head a reeling
Time and time again
Still I can't help dealing
Love is the sweetest pain
Oh, I (I had to fall in love)
Had to fall in love (I had to fall in love)
Oh, oh.. I had to fall in love with you
Oh, I (I had to fall in love)
Had to fall in love (I had to fall in love)
Oh..oh.. fall in love
[interlude]
Do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Ohhhhh, ohh (I had to fall in love)
Ohhhhhh, ohhhhhh (I had to fall in love)
Oh-ohhhhhhh
I had to fall in love with you
I, I, I, I, I (I had to fall in love)
Had to fall in love (I had to fall in love)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I had to fall in love with you
I guess I'll miss the man
Explain it, if you can
His face was far from fine
But still I'll miss his face
And wonder if he's missing mine
He never smiled enough
But though his words were gruff
I liked his shy, sad glance
I never told him so
But then, I never got the chance
Some men are heroes
Some men outshine the sun
Some men are simple, good men
This man wasn't one
Ooh---------------------------
This man--
Wasn't one
And I won't miss his moods
His gloomy solitudes
His blunt and thoughtless style (thoughtless style)
But please don't get me wrong
He was the best to come along
I guess I'll always love you
You've got the love I need
You've got the love I need
Open up your arms
And let me walk on in
Open up your heart
And let me live again
When you left you left with me
A dream no longer reality
I live the shadows of our past
With this love that's born to last
I guess I'll always love you
You've got the love I need
You've got the love I need
The only time I'm happy
Is when you're on my mind
Every day I live
All my love I give
I've been a thousand places
Seen your smile on a thousand faces
No matter what I try to do
I'm always dreaming of you
I guess I'll always love you
You've got the love I need
You've got the love I need
Every boy that passes by
I see your sparkle in his eye
Right away I stop and stare
Close my eyes and see you there
Whenever I feel almost free
Memories take hold of me
I love you now so much more
Than I ever did before
I guess I'll always love you
I guess I'll always love you
Oh baby let's take life's highway
It's automatically yours
And my way no road is too rough to travel
We'll walk barefoot on life's gravel together
Whatever we express now
Automatically means success now
Whatever mystery life's about
There's no doubt we'll work it out
Cause you're mine and I'm yours
So who cares if when it rains it pours
I'm yours and you're mine
It's automatically sunshine
Oh baby, baby
Ooh baby until you find you automatically
I'm behind you so do your thing and always know
Where you go I'm gonna follow
Don't you worry when you're set back
Home you'll hurry and then you'll get back
All the courage my love can give
For all our lives long as we give
I got hurt trying to be the only girl in your life
(repeat 2xs)
Mama told me "Don't try"
When I said I was gonna be
The girl who make you realize
One love is all you need
Looked like I was getting over
When my hopes went tumbling over
From a telephone conversation
That hurt as I heard you say
You keep telling her that I was just your friend
As you whispered words of tenderness
And said you'd call again
I got hurt trying to be the only girl in your life
(repeat 2xs)
I kept a secret from you
Thinking maybe things have changed
So I tried just a little bit harder
But the end of love still came
Now your mind is set on leaving
But I find it hard believing
My dreams won't come true
When I filled with so much love for you
And everything I did
I did to bring you joy
And if I die today on my grave that say:
"That girl sure love that boy"
I got hurt trying to be the only girl in your life
(repeat 2xs)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
So I dried my eyes
And I walked away alone
And get ready for the emptiness
I feel when love is gone
I got hurt trying to be the only girl in your life
(repeat 2xs)
Mama said I've been hurt
I got hurt trying to be the only girl in your life
[Spoken intro:]
I don't wanna lose you
Please, don't let me lose you
You mean so much to me
Who do you think you are?
Who do you gonna be?
You're the only one that really knows
Maybe you'll be surprised
After your search is through
Then you'll find you've just been chasing you
Believe me I understand
The visions of your mind
But I'm so afraid that the man you find
May not need a girl like me
I don't wanna lose you
I love you as you are
I don't wanna lose you
I couldn't love you more
Tell me love will remain
Though we may change
I really think that you
Have a little faith in me
Y ou're the only one I'll ever need
If you really understood
How much you mean to me
All your doubts would fade and disappear
Maybe you'll never find
The secrets of your mind
But you gotta try gotta realize
And I'll help you all I can
I don't wanna lose you
I love you as you are
I don't wanna lose you
I couldn't love you more and more
Tell me, ooh, love will remain
Though we may change
I don't wanna lose you
I love you as you are
I don't wanna lose you
I love you as you are
(repeat)
[Spoken outro:]
I don't wanna lose you,
I need your strength, I need to be strong
Please stay, believe in me
Sometimes when I think of you, be without you
I don't know what I'm gonna do
We got to stay together, together
I need your strength, I need your love
Don't wanna be tied down, baby
Just wanna be free and breezy
Don't wanna be tied down, baby
Just wanna be good and easy
Oww! You can take my honey
Just don't lose your head
Your love is on the money
But after everything's been said
Better get yourself together
Don't you hang on to my dream (baby)
'Cause I got myself together
Out here doing my own thing, oh
A domesticated life, hey
I ain't ready for it yet, no!
Don't wanna be tied down, baby
Just wanna be free and breezy
Don't wanna be tied down, baby
Just wanna be good and breezy
[Interlude]
Now and then a thrill (ah, ahhh, hah)
And a little amounts of time
When we both have had a field
What's yours is yours, what's mine is mine, ohh, oh
A domesticated life, hey
I ain't ready for it yet, no!
Don't wanna be tied down, baby
Just wanna be free and breezy
Don't wanna be tied down, baby
Just wanna be good and easy
Don't wanna be tied down
Don't wanna be, don't wanna be
Don't wanna be tied down
Don't wanna be, don't wanna be (No!)
Don't wanna be tied down
Don't wanna be, don't wanna be
(Oh-ohhhhhh, yeah-eah!)
Don't wanna be tied down
Don't wanna be, don't wanna be, baby (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Don't wanna be tied down
Don't wanna be, don't wanna be
(No-o! Oh, oh-ohhhhhh, ooh, ooh yeah)
Don't wanna be tied down
Don't wanna be, don't wanna be
(No! Hey, hey, heyyyy, yeah, yeah!)
Don't wanna be tied down
Don't wanna be, don't wanna be (Baby! Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh!)
Don't wanna be tied down, whoo!
Don't wanna be, don't wanna be (Ohh-ohhhhhhh, ohhh, ohhh!)
Don't wanna be tied down
Don't wanna be, don't wanna be (don't wanna be tied down)
Uh huh, huh
Don't wanna be tied down
The best years of my life I placed into your hands
Now suddenly you've made, you've made a change of plans
That world we built for two does not include me now
That world of pleasant dream is but a nightmare now.
On life's bridge we ran so gaily hand in hand
But it's all over now, that bridge is all burned down
Your love was all I could depend upon
Who can I turn to now, now that you've gone.
I can't make it alone
I need your love to call my own
I can't run, I can't hide from this love that's inside
All that I long to do is spend my life loving you
Every minute, every hour, always.
The joyful things that we used to do
That kept me right on, right on loving you
Oh, playing funny, childish games
Like running barefoot in the rain.
It was a special dream, a dream that I could feel
But now you've gone, life's so unreal
Your love is truly the only love I've known
What am I to do now that you're gone.
I can't make it alone
I need your love to call my own
I can't run, I can't hide from this love that's inside
All that I long to do is spend my life loving you
Every minute, every hour, every day.
Days have come and gone but they never find you here
Nights are twice as long, oh, without you, dear
After many, many faithful years
How could you cause me so many tears?
I can't make it alone
I need your arms around me
I can't make it alone
I need your arms around me
I can't make it alone
Sugarpie honeybunch
You know that I love you
I can't help myself
I love you and nobody else
In and out my life
You come and you go
Leaving just your picture behind
And I kissed it a thousand times
When you snap your fingers
Or wink your eye
I come a running to you
I'm tied to your, baby
And there's nothing I can do
Ooh, sugar
Sugarpie honeybunch
I'm weaker than a girl should be
I can't help myself
I'm a fool in love you see
Wanna tell you I don't love you
Tell you that we're through
And I've tried
But everytime I see your face
I get up all choked up inside
When I call your name, boy
It starts the flame burning in my heart
Tearin' it all apart
No matter how I try
My love I cannot hide
Sugarpie honeybunch
You now that I'm weak for you
I can't help myself
I love you and nobody else
Sugarpie honeybunch
Do you anything you ask me to
I can't help myself
I want you and nobody else
Sugarpie honeybunch
You know that I love you
I sit and cry
I'll tell you why
I lost my love
I swear I just can't believe
How he could walk out on me
My mind's in a daze
To think that he walked away
I'll never understand
With all the love I gave that man
How he could close the door on me and say goodbye
And not a single tear fell from his eye
I gave all I had
And that was driving me mad
I lay in my bed
And count the tears that I shed
I'll go through everyday
Just like a child who lost his way
My life has lost its meaning since he said goodbye
And I just might as well lay down and die
I ain't got the love of the one I love, baby
I ain't got the love of the one I love, baby
I ain't got the love of the one I love
I'm going crazy
The look in his eyes
Were hiding all of his lies
Why just yesterday
I thought I'm sure he would say
He only wanted me
Instead he wanted to be free
And I know that he's already seeing someone else
And I'm just not here talking to myself
Oh, and I ain't got the love of the one I love
baby
I ain't got the love of the one I love, baby
I ain't got the love of the one I love
I'm going crazy
I can't go on another day
(I can't go on another day)
You might as well take my life away
I sit and cry
I'll tell you why
I lost my love
And now I can't get disguise
The tears in my eyes
I just can't conceal
The broken heart that I feel
There ain't no melody
That can do anything for me
'Cause how can I be happy with the one I love
But never had the feel the love for me
How long has that evening train been gone
I wanna know
How long has that evening train been gone
I have a babe that was standing at the station
Waiting for a train
I ran to the door with my heart in my hand
(Heart in my hand)
And all my future plans
I've gotta catch him if I can
Is that express Mr. Station man
I woke up this mornin'
With a smile on my face
Feelin' that the world
The world was a beautiful place
How long has that evening train been gone
I want to know
How long has that evening train been gone
On a scrap of paper was the
Train arriving information
His room was empty and his closet's bare
And not a single shirt was hangin' there
How could the guy just up and leave me
What did I do that was so displeasing
Only yesterday he helped me type
He told me everything
Everything's gonna be alright
Oh, he said he loved me and he cried
Oh yeah, he said he loved me and he cried
Oh, yes he did now
There must be an explanation
Come on and move out the station
Can't you see that he's taking my world
And making me a sad sad girl
That's why I can't let go
That's why I gotta know
How long has that evening train been gone
I wanna know how long
Has the train been gone
Oh yeah, has that evening train been gone
Right now
Can't wait a minute longer
How long has that evening train been gone
How do you do what you do to me
I wish I knew
If I knew how you do it to me
I'd do it to you
How do you do what you do to me
I'm feeling blue
Wish I knew how you do it to me
But I haven't a clue
You give me a feeling in my heart
Like an arrow passing through it
Suppose that you think you're very smart
But won't you tell me how do you do it
How do you do what you do to me
If I only knew
Then perhaps you'll fall for me
Like I fell for you
You give me a feeling in my heart
Like an arrow passing through it
Suppose that you think you're very smart
But won't you tell me how do you do it
How do you do what you do to me
If I only knew
Then perhaps you'll fall for me
Like I fell for you
He's my honey boy, my ever loving pride and joy
He's my honey boy, my ever loving pride and joy.
Sweet kisses are his claim to fame
In my heart he'll always remain
True fine loving is his game
Honey boy is his name
He's sugar, he's spice
He's everything that's nice.
He's my honey boy, my ever loving pride and joy
He's my honey boy, my ever loving pride and joy.
I'd rather have a minute of his time
Than all the gold in the Fort Knox mine
My whole he inspired
Loving him is my desire
Always near when I need him most
That's why I love the boss.
He's my honey boy, my ever loving pride and joy
He's my honey boy, my ever loving pride and joy.
If you see me in my prettiest dress
It's for him I look my best
Nobody can take him from me
Because he has everlasting loyalty
He's sugar, he's spice
He's everything that's nice.
He's my honey boy, my ever loving pride and joy
He's my honey boy, my ever loving pride and joy
He's my honey boy, my ever loving pride and joy
Honey bee keep on stingin' me
Honey bee keep on stingin' me
When I first saw you standin' there
Temptation filled your smile
I had to hold on to my heart
But you were so persistent
You wore down my resistance, now
Honey bee you're such a part of me
Honey bee you stung the heart of me
Honey bee keep on stingin' me
You started a fever burnin' deep inside of me
Since you stung me with your sweet love
My whole life is rearranged
My outlook on love has changed
Honey bee you're such a part of me
Honey bee you stung the heart of me
Honey bee keep on stingin' me
Into my life like a breath of spring
Came your love like the sunshine
To stop the rain
Dried all my tears
Darlin' I've been blessed
With your honey sweet love
And I must confess
Our love's dear
Ooh baby
Honey bee keep on stingin' me
Honey bee keep on stingin' me
This taste of honey you're givin' me
Has sweetened all my bitterness
And finally pushed my fears aside
In return I'll send in your direction
All my sweet lovin' affection
Honey bee you're such a part of me
Honey bee you stung the heart of me
Honey bee keep on stingin' me
Honey bee you're such a part of me
Honey bee keep on stingin' me
Being hurt by the one you love
It's a feeling that's hard to hide
But you don't seem to understand why
When I'm alone I sit and cry
Ask any girl
Who's often left alone
All by herself
Neglectfully pushed aside
Set aside like a doll on a shelf
Just ask any girl
Ooh, and you'll understand why
I sit and cry
Ask any girl
Who knows the fear of losing
Someone dear
And she'll say the same thing
It hurts you deep
Makes it hard to sleep
Don't take my word
Ask any girl
Then you'll understand why
I sit and cry
Ask any girl
Who receives no loving affection
And she'll feel as I feel
It's heartaches by the number
Many nights without slumber
Ask any girl
Ooh, and then you'll know why
I sit and cry
I am the beautiful reflection of my love's affection
A walking illustration of his adoration
His love makes you beautiful,
So beautiful, so beautiful
I ask my looking glass
What is it makes me so exquisite?
The answer to my query comes back:
"Dearie, his love makes you beautiful,
So beautiful, so beautiful
And woman loved is woman glorified!"
I'll make a beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful bride!
Oh, his love makes me beautiful,
So beautiful, so beautiful
I ask my looking glass
What is it makes me so exquisite?
The answer to my query comes back:
"Dearie, his love makes you beautiful
So beautiful (beautiful)
So beautiful (beautiful)
And woman loved is woman glorified!"
I'll make a beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful bride!
Oh, woman loved is glorified
I'm gonna make a beautiful bride.
(Spoken)
-Gee, ain't she got some beautiful, beautiful skinny legs? Got a beautiful face
and hair-Hair?
-I mean my wig, it's pretty.
-Oh, oh-And know why? Cause it makes me feel beautiful. "Mirror, mirror on the
wall, who's the fairest of them all?" Me.
-What?
-I know it. Cause I'm beautiful.
-Well, maybe she is beautiful, cause she thinks she is.
-Really, beautiful.
I'll make a beautiful, beautiful
Spoken intro by Mary Wilson:

Hey Jude
Don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let him into your heart
And you can start to make it better
Hey Jude
Don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better
Anytime you feel the pain
Hey Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world on your shoulder
Well, you know that it's a fool
Who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder
Hey Jude
Don't let me down
You have found her
Now go out and get her
Remember to let her in to your heart
Then you can start to make it better
Let her out
Let her in
Hey Jude, begin
You're waiting for someone to perform
Don't you know it's just you
Hey Jude, you too
The movement you need is on your shoulder
Hey Jude
Don't let me down
Take a sad, sad song and make it better
Remember, let her under your skin
Come on, come on, come on baby
Come on, come on, come on baby
Come on, come on, come on baby

Over here.
Where...?
Over here, in the magic kingdom.
Come on, come on in.
Yeah, let's go to the magic kingdom.
Right through here.
Heigh ho, heigh ho
To have some fun we go
We'll keep on singing all day long
Heigh ho, heigh ho
Heigh ho, heigh ho, heigh ho
For if you're feeling low
You positively can't go wrong
With a heigh, heigh ho
We dig dig dig dig dig dig dig in our mine the whole day through
To dig dig dig dig dig dig dig is what we like to do
And while we dig we always sing
And when we dig there ain't a better thing
Than a tune, than a tune, you can whistle or can croon
So we dig dig dig dig dig dig dig in our mine the whole day through
To dig dig dig dig dig dig dig until it's time to quit
And then we warble down the scale
As we go marching down the trail
Right along, right along
To the rhythm of this song
Here we are!
Wow, here we are in the magic kingdom
Heigh ho, heigh ho
To make your troubles go
Just keep on singing
All day long, heigh ho
Heigh ho, heigh ho, heigh ho
For if you're feeling low
You positively can't go wrong
With a heigh ho, heigh ho
Heigh ho, heigh ho
To make your troubles go
Just keep on singing
All day long, heigh ho
Heigh ho, heigh ho, heigh ho
To keep from feeling low
You positively can't go wrong
With a heigh ho, heigh ho
Heigh ho, heigh ho
To make your troubles go
Just keep on singing
All day long, heigh ho
Heigh ho, heigh ho, heigh ho
To keep from feeling low
You positively can't go wrong
Heaven in your arms
Boy, it's the sweetness of your charms
Makes me love you more each day
In your arms I wanna stay
I've cried through many endless nights
While holding my pillow tight
Then you came into my lonely days
With your tender lovin' sweet ways
Now I don't know where you come from, baby
Don't know where you've been, my baby
Heaven must have sent you, honey
Into my arms
Now in the mornin' when I awake
There's a smile on my face
You've touched my heart with gladness
Wiped away all of my sadness
For so long I've needed love right near me
A soft voice to cheer me
Heaven must have sent you, baby
Into my life
Heaven in your arms
Boy, it's the sweetness of your charms
Makes me love you more each day
In your arms I wanna stay
Wanna thank you for the joy you brought me
Thank you for the things you taught me
Thank you for holding me close
when I needed you the most
Now I don't know much about you, baby
But I know I can't live without you
Heaven must have sent you, honey
To love only me
It's heaven in your arms
Boy, it's the sweetness of your charms
Makes me love you more each day
In your arms I wanna stay
Wanna thank you for the joy you brought me
Thank you for the things you taught me
Thank you for holding me close

But always bring me down--
They have nothing new to say
They're still hangin' 'round
SCHERRIE:

All I need is that he shine his smile on me
When I'm all alone needing company
And he's the only man who can make me feel
That his love is honest
That his love is real

Need a lift off the ground---

Sometimes I'm right and I can be wrong
My own beliefs are in my song
The butcher, the thinker, the drummer and then
Makes no difference what group I'm in
I am everyday people, yeah
There is a blue one, who can't accept the green one
For living with a fat one, trying to be a skinny one
And different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo
We got to live together
I am no better and neither are you
We are the same whatever we do
You love me, you hate me you load me and then
You can't figure out what bag I'm in
I am everyday people, yeah
There is a long hair, who doesn't like the short hair
For being such a rich one, that will not help the poor one
Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo
We got to live together
There is a yellow one, who doesn't like the black one
Who won't accept the red one, who won't accept the white one
Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo
I am everyday people
'Cause there is a blue one, who can't accept the green one
For living with the fat one, trying to be a skinny one
There is a long hair, who doesn't like the short hair
For being such a rich one, that doesn't help the poor one
I am everyday people
'Cause there is a yellow one, who don't accept the black one
Who won't accept the red one, who won't accept the white one
You're a girl that hates to see others happy
Unless you're happy too
So you've told the boy I love
A lot of things that ain't true
And its' wringing my heart
Cos it's making us drift apart
So humbly I ask of you
To undo the wrong that you've done
Please go to him, tell him
Before he finds someone new
Cos if I ever lose him
I don't know what I'll do
Cos he's all I got
Built my world around him
Since the day I found him
Girl your selfishness causes unhappiness
But why make it hard for me?
Since you been unhappy in love
I guess misery loves company
For once in your life
Consider another's feelings
Confess the truth
That you've been concealing
Please go to him, tell him
Before he finds someone new
Cos if I ever lose him
I don't know what I'll do
Cos he's all I got
Built my world around him
Since the day found him
I would gladly go to him
Instead of asking you
But there might be a shadow of a doubt
Your gossip might have been true
So tearfully I ask of you
Please undo the wrong that you've done
Cos without his love
I know, I know I can't go on
Please go to him, tell him
Before he finds someone new
Cos if I ever lose him
I don't know what I'll do
Cos he's all I got
Built my world around him
Since the day found him
If he'd just take one look at me
Or maybe touch my hand
I'd bow down and tell him
His every wish is my command
My nights are so lonely
I'm thinking of him only
Oh how can I make him see
He means the world to me
My friends all tell me that I'm silly
That my love for him he'll never see
But I, I can't help it
He means the world to me
He means the world to me
World to me
My friends say I'm silly, silly, silly
But I really care
I'm here to tell you
That he means the world
Say what you will about him
You'll never make me doubt him
He means the world to me
His love is all I need
Wealth he doesn't have
But he holds his own
Say what you will about him
But I can't live without him
It makes my life worthwhile
Watching his tender smile
Handsome he may not be
But he holds his own
He holds his own
Say what you will about him
You'll never make me doubt him
Though he's a soft spoken guy
A little quiet, a little shy
He has qualities
'Cause he holds his own
He holds his own
He holds his own
Say what you will about him
He holds his own
You'll never make me doubt him
We are having a party
Dancing to the music
Played by the D.J.
On the radio
The cokes are in the ice box
Popcorn's on the table
Me and my baby
We're out here on the floor
So mister, mister D.J.
Keep those records playing
'Cause we're having such a good time
Dancing with my baby
Havin' a party
Everybody's swinging, dancing to the music
On the radio
We are havin' a party
Everybody's swinging, dancing to the music
On the radio
So mister, mister D.J.
Keep those records playing
'Cause we're having such a good time
Dancing with my baby
Sally's doing that twist
If you take requests
I've got a few for you
Play that song called "Shot gun"
Play that one called "My girl"
Don't forget them
I've been without you too long
You're here in body, but your heart is gone
I wanna keep the love I put above
Everything else keep on my shelf
(Have I lost you?)
Have I lost you?
Have I lost you?
Really lost you?
Have I lost your love?
Even though I see your smile (Have I lost you)
I don't feel right and I don't know how
(Have I lost you)
Baby, it's me and I'm hoping it is (Have I lost you)
'Cause my whole life is depended on this
Have I lost you?
Have I lost you?
Really Lost you?
Have I lost your love?
[Interlude]
Have I lost your love?
All the time we were separated
In my mind I recreated
How good your life would be
Now your eyes look cold to me
Have I lost you?
Have I lost you?
Really lost you?
Have I lost your love?
Here I go again
I see your footsteps running up and down my brain
And in my darkest hour
I see your face (I see your face)
If I can see you, why can't I be with you?
I know the mountain's high
But we can climb if we try
Ohh, happy is a bumpy road
We can make it, I know
Ohh, happy is a bumpy road
We can make it, I know (If we try)
Like children holding hands
If you slip, I know I will help you stand
'Cause in my solitude
You give me hope (You give me hope)
So if I can see you, why can't I be with you?
I know the struggle's great
But buried arms we can break, I know
Ohh, happy is a bumpy road
We can make it, I know
Ohh, happy is a bumpy road
We can make it, I know (If we try)
Yeah
So if I can see you, why can't I be with you?
(Baby, baby)
I know the struggle's great
But buried arms we can break, I know
Ohh, happy is a bumpy road
We can make it, I know
Ohh, happy is a bumpy road
Love is a heavy load
Ohh, happy is a bumpy road
We can make it, I know
Happy is a bumpy road
Oh, love is a heavy load
Said, happy is a bumpy road
Oh, love is a heavy load
Ohh, happy is a bumpy road

I'm going down, down for the third time
I'm going down, down for the third time
Drowning in tears from my heart that's hurting
Drowning in tears from a love that's uncertain.
I'm lost in a world without love, a sea of emptyness
The love we knew is being washed away
Don't think I can last, my heart is sinking fast.
I'm going down, down for the third time
Trying to hold on to a love that's mine
Drowning in the love that keeps me grieving
Drowning in the fear that my arms you're leaving.
Bring back that love we knew
Darling let me live again
A little tenderness to me start showing
Fill my heart with love till it's overflowing.
I'm going down, down for the third time
Trying to hold on to a love that's gone
I'm going down, down for the third time
So won't you save this heart of mine.
Going down, down for the third time
Going down, down for the third time
I'm like a ship all alone on a raging sea
You got me tossing and a-turning
And I can't get free.
Reach out your hand for me
Darling, save what's left of our love
I'll forgive your lies and alibies
If you'll wipe my crying eyes.
I'm going down, down for the third time
So won't you save this heart of hime
I've loved too long, I love too strong
Now little boy you know you're doing me wrong
Come on and save me
Come on and save me
Come on and save me
Just keep your head above water
You gotta work yourself to death
And you ask yourself "Why high?"
'Cause you're never seemed to get ahead
But don't be like the lone ranger
As the same every lining
Things won't get any better
Unless we'll keep on trying
'Cause it's alright (it's alright, oo-ooh)
To give out sometimes
Don't ever give up (don't you ever give up)
Oh-oh, it's alright (it's alright)
Hey, to give out sometimes
Don't ever give up
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Hey, to give out sometimes
Don't you ever give up (don't you ever give up)

No, no, no, it's alright
Hey, to give out sometimes
Don't you ever give up (gotta get it together)
No, no, no, it's alright (it's alright)

Well, hello there
My, it's been a long, long time
How am I doing ?
Oh, I guess that I'm doing fine
It's been so long now
But it seems like only yesterday
Gee, ain't it funny
How time slips away
How's your new love ?
I hope that she's doing fine
I heard you told her
That you'd love her 'till the end of time
Now that's the same thing
You told me
Seems like the other day
Gee, ain't it funny
How time slips away
Well it's been nice seeing you
Gotta go now
Guess I'll see you around
Don't know when tho'
Never know when I'll be back in town
But remember
What I tell you
In time you're gonna pay
Gee, ain't it funny
Funny, did you hear that? Funny!
Yeah, the guy said
"Honey, you're a funny girl"
That's me
I just keep them in stitches
Doubled in half
Though I may be all wrong for the guy
I'm good for a laugh
I guess it's not funny
'Cause life is far from sunny
When the laugh is over
And the joke's on you
A girl ought to have a sense of humor
That's one thing she really needs for sure
When you're a funny girl
The fellow said "A funny girl"
Funny, how it ain't so funny
Funny girl
Funny
Did you hear that?
The guy said I was funny
We'll wait 'till the laugh's over
And the joke's on you
That's me
I just keep them in stitches
Doubled in half
And though I may be all wrong for the guy
I'm good for a laugh
I may be all wrong for the guy
I'm good for a laugh
I guess it's not funny
'Cause life is far from sunny
When the laugh is over
And the joke's on you
A girl ought to have a sense of humor
That's one thing she really need for sure
When you're a funny girl
The fellow said "A funny girl"
Funny, how it ain't so funny

The name of the night club, huh, is Funky, Funky Broadway.

Oh, yeah, do you feel it now
I gotta get down with it, now
I gotta get down with it, now
Do you feel it baby
Now don't you feel it now
There you were standing there
As your eyes reached down to me
Something warm in your eyes
Touched my heart right then and there
All the love I never knew,
I found in you
Suddenly, my world stood still
My life was then fulfilled
As you gently touched my hand,
I knew that we had laid a plan
For everlasting love
That I'd been forever dreaming of
CHORUS:
At last, ooh, at last (at last)
My forever came today (forever came today)
When you walked into my life (when you walked into my life)
And made my lonely life a paradise (a paradise)
It came today, forever came today
(Forever came today, forever came today)
As we were standing there,
You didn't speak a single word
But your eyes,
Your eyes said you wanted me
Your touch said you needed me
And my heart said tenderly
Darling, ooh, my darling,
Make me yours
Let your kiss touch my face
And tell me love has led me
To this place
To your warm embrace
Hello, happiness, thanks to you,
My search has ended
And I want the world to see
How gently love has shined on me
With everlasting love
That I'd been forever dreaming of
CHORUS
For better or worse
I'll say yes in that little church
Will you marry me boy?
For better or worse.
We can't find a home
Just a room without any view
We'll walk our favorite march
But least I'll have you.
I see the priest standing before you and me
In my mind's eye I can see how it will be.
When he says to you:
For better or worse
Do you take this girl for your wife?
I'll say yes, yes I do for all of my life.
For better or worse
I'll make you love every new day
Bringing breakfast to your bed
I'll spoil you that way.
I can't hardly wait for a boy
Baby, can you?
I know he'll be cute
Cause he'll be like you.
I see the priest standing before you and me
In my mind's eye I can see how happy we'll be.
I see the priest standing before you and me
Floy, Floy, Floy
Floy Joy!
Floy, Floy, Floy
Floy Joy!
Floy, Floy, Floy

You're the man.

But see me when you can.

Who would give their world to you Floy Joy.
Floy, Floy, Floy

Oh, it's a joy boy!
Any girl who knew you at all
Would have to call you Floy Joy!
Floy, Floy, Floy
Floy Joy!
I get a thrill when I hear your voice now, Floy.
Floy, Floy, Floy

So much pleasure
It's impossible to measure--
Floy, Floy, Floy

You're the man.
I hope in someway form or fashion
I fit in your plan.
Ooh, take me!
I wanna give myself to you
And live my whole life through with you
Floy Joy!
Floy, Floy, Floy
Floy Joy!
Floy, Floy, Floy

A-let me hear you say it one more time
Say it again.
Floy, Floy, Floy
Floy Joy!
A-let me hear you say it one more time
Say it again.
Floy, Floy, Floy
Money isn't everything
AsK anyone who's rich
It can buy pain and misery
Or grief
Though money isn't everything
I have a pauper's itch
So though I crave a brave
I'll take the chief!
He bought me a cat
Siamese, imagine that
He keeps making
Fancy passes at me
All those fine and fancy passes
Oh joy, now I've got
Sixty feet of brand new yacht
He keeps making
Fancy passes at me
All those fine and fancy passes
He owns New York or Spain
But I don't know which
He got fat in Uptown Manhattan
Poor Cinderella's got her a fella who's rich
Every penny, he's worth a plenty
He owns United Airlines
That as well?
He owns receding hairlines
Oh, well!
He's not so hip
Or smart as a whip
But healthy, wise and wealthy
He bought me a summer place
Somewhere out in outer space
He keeps making
Fancy passes at me
What a man you've got, Diane
Did he buy you a mink?
Mmmm..Passion pink
And a Cadi too?
Mmmm, Baby blue
You're speaking of?
My baby love!
Your Romeo?
My Daddy Dough!
I love him a lot
How much has he got?
He's got a plot of ground
He found over oil
Oh, my how "SHEIK" we are
He bought New Jersey
So he could call me his girl
Oh, man, "EFFETE" we are!
Chocolate excites my tummy
He bought me a firm called Yummy
He's one of those gents
With good bizness cents
And quarters, half's and dollars
Ding, dong, ain't it swell
They just delivered the liberty bell
How sad all those Philadelphians will be
I'll get half of what he owns
To keep up with Mrs. L. B. Jones
And if he keeps making fancy passes
I'll start holding evening classes
I'll give him sugar and molasses
And the life, I live
I'll live luxuriously
From those late and evening classes
That sugar and molasses
Those fine and fancy passes at me
Oooweee
My honey
Falling in love with love
Is falling for make believe
Falling in love with love
Is playing the fool
Caring too much
Is such a juvenile fancy
Learning to trust
Is just for children in school
I fell in love with love
One night when the moon was full
I was unwise with eyes unable to see
I fell in love with love
With love everlasting
But love fell out with me!
Falling in love with love
Is falling for make believe
Falling in love with love
Is playing the fool
Caring too much
Is such a juvenile fancy
Learning to trust
Is just for children in school
I fell in love with love
One night when the moon was full
I was unwise with eyes unable to see
I fell in love with love
With love everlasting
But love fell out with me!
Falling in love with love
Falling in love with love
When you're alone and in a corner
Your only mourner, is the face that
Appears in the nearest mirror
You've gotta get it going and somehow knowing
You're gonna have it better than you ever had it, because
Everybody needs somebody
Everybody's got the right to love
If it were me, say I
I'd say I
But if it's you, say you
Cause if you could give in for a minute
Put your soul in it
We could get it together and forever love
so what's the use of running boy
You know there ain't no point in running
You need somebody, somebody to love you
Cause everybody needs somebody
Everybody's got the right to love
You got the right to say I, need somebody
I need you, he needs me
come together, talk to me, oh yeah
You can have all the things that you desire
But without love you just can't survive
Cause you need love to warm your heart at night
When you're all alone and no comfort's in sight
You need somebody
Everybody needs somebody, oh yeah
ELEANOR RIGBY
Eleanor Rigby
Picks up the rice in the church
Where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window
Wearing a face
That she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for ?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from ?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong ?
Father McKenzie writing the words
To a sermon that no one will hear
Oh, no one comes near
Look at him working
Darning the socks in the night
When there's nobody there
Nobody cares
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from ?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong ?
DO YOU KNOW THE WAY TO SAN JOSE?
Do you know the way to San Jose?
I've been away so long
I may go wrong and lose my way
Do you know the way to San Jose?
I'm going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose
L.A. is a great big freeway
Put a hundred down and buy a car
In a week, maybe two, they'll make you a star
Weeks turn into years
How quick they pass
And all the stars that never were are parking cars and pumping gas
Do you know the way to San Jose?
I've got lots of friends in San Jose
Do you know the way to San Jose?
I've got lots of friends in San Jose

On this morning paper, coffee in his cup
(Cup running over)
Sweet things he does I can't get enough
(Can't get enough)
I love the way he takes the time
To talk to me before he gets up
He never asked for breakfast in bed
(What does he ask for?)

Such sweet early morning love before I wake up
Ooh, early morning love

He knows just whaat to say
He knows just how to start my day

Early, that early morning love
Give it to me now
Mmm... we made love (We made love)
All through the night (In the night)
Something about (Something about)
That morning light (I see the light...)
Hey, shines through my window
That wants me more, that takes control
But if you wake before I do,
Touch my shoulder, turn me over
Early morning love that's when I wake up
Everybody ought a try some (Early morning love)
Early morning love (Before I wake up)
I need some early morning love when I wake up
(Early)
I love that early morning love before I wake up
Ooh, that early morning love when I wake up
He gives that early morning love before I wake up
Got to have that early morning love
Don't tell me not to live, just sit and putter,
Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter.
Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade.
Don't tell me not to fly-- I've simply got to.
If someone takes a spill, it's me and not you.
Who told you you're allowed to rain on my parade!
I'll march my band out, I'll beat my drum,
And if I'm fanned out, Your turn at bat, sir.
At least I didn't fake it.
Hat, sir, I guess I didn't make it!
But whether I'm the rose of sheer perfection,
A freckle on the nose of life's complexion,
The cinder or the shiny apple of his eye,
I gotta fly once, I gotta try once,
Only can die once, right, sir?
Ooh, love is juicy, juicy, and you see
I gotta have my bite, sir!
Get ready for me, love, 'cause I'm a "comer"
I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer.
Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade!
I'm gonna live and live now,
Get what I want--I know how,
One roll for the whole shebang,
One throw, that bell will go clang,
Eye on the target--and wham--
One shot, one gun shot, and bam--
Hey, Mister, here I am!
I'll march my band out, I will beat my drum,
And if I'm fanned out, your turn at bat, sir,
At least I didn't fake it.
Hat, sir, I guess I didn't make it.
Get ready for me, love, 'cause I'm a "comer"
I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer.
Nobody, no, nobody
You're slipping away from me
How can I make you see
The warmth has left your heart
It's throwing us apart
Don't let true love die
Don't let it pass us by
Open your heart to me
Make things as they used to be
Our love is falling
And it's hard to hold
It's a flaming fire
I can't control
How can I find the words to say
To keep our love from burning away
Please help me hold on to our love
Love me and I'll make you oh so happy
Don't let true love die
Don't let it pass us by
Anything you ask I'll give
As long as we shall live
I'll do anything forget my pride
'Cause desperation's building up inside
Your heart has turned
To hard cold stone
That I can't touch or leave alone
Why break this aching heart of mine
Come and hold me and tenderly console me
Do anything for you
Anything you ask me too
All of my love I'll give
Just give us a chance to live
Don't let true love die
Don't let it pass us by
Open your heart to me
Let things be as they used to be
Don't let true love die
Don't let it pass us by
Anything you ask I'll give
As long as we shall live
Don't let true love die
Don't let it
Teardrops bother you
Don't let it
Teardrops bother you
Don't let it
If I should shed a tear
It's just the love I'm showing
'Cause you're leaving here
If I should shed my pride
It's just to show how much I love you so
And where you go
My love will be there with you
No matter where you are, or if you find someone new
Long ago, I reeled my life to you
And I can change my heart
Even though we'll be apart
Don't let my teardrops bother you
The reason I'm crying is
I can't believe we're through
Oh, don't let my teardrops bother you
If you must leave me, do what you gotta do
INTERLUDE
Don't let it
No, no, no, no
Don't let it
If I should beg and plead
Oohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
It's just because of the love
And the need I have for you
If I should stall for time
It's just because I prayed that
You changed you mind and maybe find
There's something you're leaving behind
And maybe then you'll see where you've been blind
But if someone has managed to erase me
And if she's what you want (if she's what you want)
If she's what you want to replace me
Don't let my teardrops bother you
The reasons I'm crying is
I can't believe we're through
Don't let it
Don't let my teardrops bother you
Does your mama know about me
Does she know just what I am
Will she turn her back on me
Or accept me as I am
And what about your dad
Did you think of what he'll say
Will he be understanding
Or does he think the usual way
Maybe I shouldn't worry
But I've been through this before
And I'd like to get things straight
Before I'm knocking on your door
Does your mama know about me
Does she know just what I am
If she says forget about me
Do you think you'll understand
And what about your friends
Do you care what people say
Will you accept the burdens
I know will surely come your way
Maybe I shouldn't worry
But I've been through this before
And I'd like to get things straight
Before I'm knocking on your door
Does your mama know about me
Does she know just what I am
Will she turn her back on me
Or accept me as I am
Oh, we've got to stand tall
Tumble or crawl
We've got to be strong
For a love that's so right
Can't be wrong
And everyday I see it grow
I don't wanna let it go
That's why I gotta know
Does your mama know about me
Does she know just what I am
Does your mama know about me
Does she know just what I am
Does your mama know about me
Do you love me?
I can really move
Do you love me?
I'm in the groove
Now, do you love me?
Do you love me?
Now that I can dance?
Watch me now (work it out)
Shake it, shake it baby
Work it out baby
Oh, shake it, shake it down now
Work it out now
Just a little bit of soul now
Oh, I can mash potatoes
I can do the twist
Now tell me baby
Do you like it like this
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Do you love me
Do you love me
Do you love me
Do you love me
Now that I can dance?
Watch me now (work it out)
Get it, get it, baby
Work it out
You're driving me crazy
Work it out
Just a little bit of soul now
Oh, I can mash potatoes
I can do the twist
Well, now tell me baby
Do you like it like this
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Do you love me
Do you love me
Do you love me
Do you love me
Now that I can dance?
Do you love me?
I can really move
Do you love me?
I'm in the groove
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Now that I can dance?
Watch me now (work it out)
Shake it, shake it baby
Work it out
Oh, shake it, shake it down now
Work it out now
Oh babe, ooo babe
Hidden here behind four walls, a new night passes by
I'm just a soul deprived of love, I've yet to reason why
I've got so much to give someone, so many dreams to share
And a promise of a faithful love if someone would only care.
Discover me and you'll discover happiness
Discover me and you'll discover love, sweet love.
The day begins and disappears, I go my lonely way
Oh, thinking that tomorrow's gonna be my lucky day
An unrequired love can be a hurting thing, it's true
But I can bear a hurting thing
Baby, until you discover me and you'll discover happiness
Discover me and you'l discover love, sweet love.
Could it be I'm placing all my values much too high
Saving all my loving for that very special guy
And I yell out for that someone who belongs to me alone
An unforeseen lover
Discover me and you'll discover happiness
Discover me if you need loving
Discover me, babe, oh baby, if you need loving
Discover me, discover me, discover me babe
Oh babe if you need loving discover me
This time we almost made the pieces fit
Didn't we
This time we almost made some sense of it
Didn't we
This time I had the answer right here in my hand
And I touched it and it had turned to sand
This time we almost sang our song in tune
Didn't we
This time we almost made it to that moon
Didn't we
This time we almost made our poem rhyme
This time we almost made that long, hard climb
He dances overhead
On the ceiling near my bed
In my sight
Through the night
I try to hide in vain
Underneath my counterpane
There's my love up above
I whisper
Go away, my lover, it's not fair
But I'm so grateful to discover
He's still there
I love my ceiling more
Since it is a dancing floor
Just for my love
In my sight
All through the night
There's my love up above
I whisper
Go away, my lover, it ain't fair
But I'm so grateful to discover
He's still there
I love my ceiling more
Since it is a dancing floor
Cupid, draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me
for me
Cupid, please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me
Now I don't mean to bother you
But I'm in distress
There's danger of me losing all of my happiness
For I love a girl who doesn't know I exist
And this you can fix
So, Cupid, draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me
Nobody but me
Cupid, please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me
Now, Cupid, if your arrow makes his love strong for me
I promise I will love him until eternity
I know between the two of us his heart we can steal
Help me if you will
So, Cupid, draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me
Nobody but me
Cupid, please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me
Now, Cupid, don't you hear me calling you, I need you,
Lover, you've gone from me
And left behind so many memories
Here's your old friendship ring
I can't wear it no more
Here's your old love letters
I can't read them any more
Lover, you've gone from me
And left behind so many memories
Here's that old teddy bear
That you won from me at the state fair
Here's some old valentine cards
Give it to your new sweetheart
Lover, you've gone from me
And left behind so many memories
Come and get'em, come and get'em
Here's our old favorite record
I can't stand to hear it anymore
Here's some old lingering love
It's in my heart and it's tearing it apart
Because of these memories
I never think of anybody but you
So, come on and get'em
'Cause I found somebody new
Come and get these memories
Since you've gone out of my life
Come and get these memories
Since you've gone out of my life
Come and get these memories
Since you've gone out of my life
Come and get these memories

I got on my feet, told you to leave (please start walking)
And now I'm living in misery
Without you, color my world blue
'Cause I'll never, never, never live without
Without you, color my world blue
'Cause I'll never, never, never live without

For I don't care too much for money
For money can't buy me love
Can't buy me love
Has it been enough time to forget about the times
That weren't so good
To trade the things that we didn't understand
For the ones that we understood
You've grown so much
And I've grown a whole lot, too
Maybe when we started, we're once too excitied
Love was just so new
Ooh, can we love again?
Can we love again?
Can we love again?
Can we love again?
Has it been enough time to forget about the lies?
I wish you could
Today I understand the things
You try to say for my own good
I said goodbye
And I don't remember why
But I remember you were good to me
Or it's my memory fooling me
(Now I'm gonna try to satisfy)
Gonna try (your every little need)
Ooh, can we love again?
Hey, can we love again?
Can we love again?
Can we love again?
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
(2x)
I said goodbye
And I don't remember why
But now I'm gonna try to satisfy
Your every little need
Ooh, can we love again?
Hey, can we love again?
Can we love again?
Can we love again?
Ooh, can we love again?
Hey, can we love again?
Oh, can we love again?
Can we love again?
Ohh baby
Hey-ey-ey, baby
You're driving me crazy
Can we love again?
Ooh baby, ooh baby
Can we love again?
Listen everybody, especially you guys
Is it right to be left alone
While the one you love is never home?
I love too hard, my friends sometimes say
But I believe, I believe
A man should loved that way
But it hurts me so inside
To see him treat me so unkind
Somebody, somewhere tell him it's unfair
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Somebody
I want a witness
Is it right to be treated so bad
When you've given everything you had?
Even tossin' in my sleep
'Cause I haven't seen my baby all week
Now, you girls do agree
That this ain't the way love's supposed to be
Let me hear, let me hear you say yeah, yeah
Up early in the morning with him on my mind
Just to find out all night that I've been cryin'
But I believe a man's a woman's best friend
So I'm gonna stick by him till the very end
But he causes so much misery I forget how
Love is supposed to be
Somebody, somewhere, tell him it ain't fair
Can I get a witness?
I want a witness
Everybody knows, especially you girls
Love can be bad
But I have a love that's twice as bad
Now you girls do agree
That this ain't the way love's supposed to be
Let me hear, let me hear you say yeah, yeah
My baby likes buttered popcorn
He likes it greasy
And sticky
And gooey
And salty
I said what do you like
He says you know what I like
I like buttered popcorn
He took me to a show
He said he wanted some more
I said kiss me please
He said after I eat
I said what do you like
He says you know what I like
I like buttered popcorn
For breakfast, lunch and a dinner too
He eats buttered popcorn
Well it worries me so
I don't know what to do
When I asked him what was happenin' in the world today
He said more butter, more butter, more butter, more
My baby likes buttered popcorn
He likes it greasy
And sticky
And gooey
And salty
I said what do you like
He says you know what I like
I like buttered popcorn
For breakfast, lunch and a dinner too
He eats buttered popcorn
Well it worries me so
I don't know what to do
When I asked him
What was happenin' in the world today
He said more butter, more butter, more butter, more
My baby likes buttered popcorn
He likes it greasy
And sticky
And gooey
And salty
I said what do you like
He says you know what I like
Every morning waiting for the mailman to come.
But again he shook his head and said maybe tomorrow there’ll be one.
He said, better than a letter, some guys just arrived.
I felt so much better that I ran to catch the 3:45.
I got to the station, oh, just a little bit late,
When I spotted a soldier turning through an exit gate.
Oh, I pushed through the crowd until I reached his side
And got the strangest look from a strangers eyes.
I cried, Bill, Bill, Bill when are you coming back.
I cried in a stranger’s arms standing there by the railroad tracks.
Oh, yes I did.
The day you left me remains in my mind so clear.
You were saying you loved me, but the train made it hard to hear.
So, we moved by the Coke machine, oh, so we could say goodbye.
The people were staring, but I couldn’t keep the tears from my eyes.
As the train departed your loving mother held me close.
We cried together, yeah, trying to keep each other host.
Oh, wherever you are you know you need it too,
‘Cause no one in this world needs you like I do.
I cried, Bill, Bill, Bill, Bill when are you coming back.
I cried in a stranger’s arms standing there by the railroad tracks.
Oh, yes I did.
… standing there by the railroad tracks. Oh, yes I did.
No news is good news; at least, that’s what your mama said.
But, I could see in her eyes, she too, is so afraid.
Now, I’ve got nothing to cling to except what I felt inside,
When I cried I loved you and looked into that stranger’s eyes.
Oh, I miss you, Bill. I can’t stand the pain of knowing if I’ll ever see you again!
I cried, Bill, Bill, Bill, Bill when are you coming back.
I cried in a stranger’s arms standing there by the railroad tracks.
Oh, yes I did.
Billy, baby!!! Billy, baby, when are you coming back?
I cried in a stranger’s arms standing there by the railroad tracks.

I'm wild again, beguiled again
A simpering, whimpering child again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
I couldn't sleep, and wouldn't sleep
When love came and told me I shouldn't sleep
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
Lost my heart, but what of it?
He is cold, I agree
He can laugh, but what of it?
Although the laugh's on me
I'll sing to him, each spring to him
And long for the days when I'll cling to him
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
I'm not asking you to change
You are what you are
But I can only give so much
It only goes so far
And I know that we both do things
And don't it meant were wrong
Sometimes if we feel guilty,
We'd be much better off
We love each other
Deep down inside
Why not talk our problems out
And push our pride aside?
Bend a little, give a little
That's all we gotta do
Bend a little, give a little
That's all we gotta do
You've always have to be someone
To give more than to share
But I won't ask that much of you
Just show me that you care
I know there are things I won't do
That you wish I would
If you would meet me halfway,
I believe I could
Let's not try to hold off
On your terms or mine
Before we lose each other
Let's reach up on your minds
Bend a little, give a little
That's all we gotta do
Bend a little, give a little
That's all we gotta do
[Guitar solo]
Bend a little, give a little
That's all we gotta do
Bend a little, give a little
That's all we gotta do
Bend a little, give a little
That's all we gotta do
Bend a little, give a little
That's all we gotta do
Bend a little, give a litle
That's all we gotta do
Bend a little, give a little
That's all we gotta do
Bend a little, give a little
That's all we gotta do
Bend a little, give a little
It's right that I should care about you
And try to make you happy when you're blue
It's right, it's right to feel the way I do
Because, because I love you
It's wrong to say I don't think of you
'Cause when you say these things
You know it makes me blue
Give me one kiss and I'll be happy
Just, just to be with you
Give me, give me, a chance to be near you
Because, because I love you
Give me one kiss and I'll be happy
Just, just to be with you
Give me, give me, a chance to be near you
Because, because I love you

Our love just ain't together
(It ain't together, no)
(Run into bad weather)
Gonna run, gonna run, I'm gonna run, I'm gonna run
All day long I hear my telephone ring
Friends calling giving their advice
From the boy I love
I should break away
'Cause heartaches he'll bring one day
I lost him once through friends advice
But it's not gonna happen twice
'Cause all advice ever's gotten me
Was many long and sleepless nights
Ooh! But now
He's back in my arms again
Right by my side
I got him back in my arms again
So satisfied
It's easy for friends to say
Let him go
But I'm the one
Who needs him so
It's his love that makes me strong
Without him I can't go on
This time I'll live my life at ease
Being happy lovin' whom I please
And each time we make romance
I'll be thankfull for a second chance
Ooh! Cause
He's back in my arms again
Right by my side
I got him back in my arms again
So satisfied
How can Mary tell me what to do
When she lost her love so true?
And Flo, she don't know
'Cause the boy she loves is a Romeo
I listened once to my friends advice
But it's not gonna happen twice
'Cause all advice ever's gotten me
Was many long and sleepless nights
Ooh! I got him
Back in my arms again
Right by my side
I got him back in my arms again
So satisfied
Ooh! I'm satisfied yeah

You're voice I often hear
Another day, another night
I long to hold you tight
'Cause I'm so lonely
Yes, I'm lonely
Let my heart beats for you only
Baby, I need your loving
Got to have all your loving
Baby, I need your loving

For a girl to beg

If it means having you to keep
'Cause lately I been losing sleep
Baby, I need your loving
Got to have all your loving
Baby, I need your loving
Got to have all your loving
Empty nights echo your name
Sometimes I wonder will I ever be the same?
Oh yeah!
When you see me smile
You know things has gotten worse
Any smile you might see
Has all been rehearsed
Darling, I can't go on without you
This emptiness won't let me live without you
This loneliness inside me, darling
Makes me feel half alive
"Baby, I need your loving
Got to have all your loving

We'd never part
Now you're breaking

And give my life to him completely
I belong to my baby doll

He's so sweet
So handsome all the girls they envy me
Talking about my baby doll
When they see me holding his arm
Walking down the street
You should see me hold my head up high
It's a feeling I can't explain
Just proud to be walking with my baby doll
He's sugar to my taste
He's got sweet kisses
And a warm embrace
He's my baby doll, ooh baby doll

Any girl in love, ooh!
Yeah, knows what I'm going through
I've got an aching heart
Makes me cry sometimes
I've got an aching heart
Makes me cry sometimes
For every aching heart
Some tears must fall
'Cause when you lose the one you love
You lose your all and all
Any girl in love, ooh!
Yeah, knows what I'm going through
Any girl in love, ooh!
Yeah, knows what I'm going through
The way I miss your loving
Makes me cry sometimes
The way I miss your loving
Makes me cry sometimes
I gave you my love
In you I had no doubts
But as soon as love walked in
You walked right out
Any girl in love, ooh!
Yeah, knows what I'm going through
Any girl in love, ooh!
Yeah, knows what I'm going through
The way you hesitate to kiss me
Makes me cry sometimes
The way you never seem to miss me
Makes me cry sometimes
But I never bother
To wipe the tears from my face
'Cause I know another tear
Will fall in it's place
Any girl in love, ooh!
Yeah, knows what I'm going through
Any girl in love, ooh!
You and I will make a vow
To find love again somehow
We'll search for the stars that fled
Find heaven instead
Another life from now
You and I will make a pact
There will be no turning back
We'll plan every step we make
With no mistakes
Another life from now
Trouble, you're a familiar face
And in our lives, you were the place
When you make love fall from grace
Sadness in to our lives, you came
Reducing love is such a shame
Though it's hopeless
We'll never be the same
Hey, you've never been so unkind
We've wasted all this time
Chasing rainbows only to find
Ooh, ooh, ooh
We still love one another
But we can't live with each other
No, no, no, no, no, babe
No, no, no, no, no
Ooh------
You and I will make ammends
Never to let trouble in, no
And we won't let sadness stay
Like love decay
Another life from now
You and I will say a prayer
To be true we're hereby swear
Let the trumpets now begin
Next time we're gonna win
You took my hand and pull me close
And gently brushed your hand against my cheek
Yeah
You whispered something in my ear so softly
I could hardly hear you speak
You stare straight in my eyes
And pull me closer and closer to your lips
And just as we were face to face
You stopped and kissed my fingertips
And I, I, I thought you loved me
When I saw that loving feeling in your eyes
And I thought you loved me, boy
When you were only kissing me goodbye
You walked up to the window
Saying how it was such a beautiful day
(Beautiful day) Yea, yea
And you stumbled through your words
As if there was something you just couldn't say
(Just couldn't say) Ohh
You listen while I told you
How happy we both are gonna be (Are gonna be)
Didn't you, didn't you, didn't you? Yeah
And then you cut me off
And said, "There's something I just didn't see"
(Just ddidn't see)
And I, I, I, I, I, I thought you loved me
When I saw that loving feeling in your eyes
And I thought you loved me, boy
When you were only kissing me goodbye
(And I thought)
And I thought, I thought you loved me
When I saw that loving feeling in your eyes
And I thought you loved me, boy
When you were only kissing me goodbye
No, no, no, no, and I thought you loved me
When I saw that loving feeling in your eyes
And I thought you loved me
But you were only kissing me goodbye
Whoa-oh, and I thought you loved me
I saw that loving feeling in your eyes
Through a shadowed world
I drift in emptiness and doubt
Because I push aside the love
I just can't live without
Please won't you give my crying eye
Just one more chance to see
That look upon your face
That promised love to me
Am I asking too much
Or is this love we had
Lost beyond recall
Am I asking too much
Can we start again and rise above it all
Kiss my ears with gentle words I need to hear
(Baby I love you)
Let your arms reach out and
Tell me that you need me dear
(Baby I need you)
'Cause if you need me darling
Baby, you'll forgive
(Forgive me dear)
You'll forgive me says the breath of air
I need to live
Am I asking too much
Even though I hurt you so
Don't say we're through
Am I asking too much
Won't you let me try
And make it up to you
All the precious hours we've wasted
All the bitter tears we've tasted
I need your love inside of me
Make me the girl I used to be
In your heart is there no longer room for me to live
When all I did was take, all you did was give
All the tears I made you cry
Turned your heart to stone
Has loneliness made up your mind
To live alone
Am I asking too much
Or is this love we had
Lost beyond recall
Am I asking too much
Can we start again and rise above it all
Am I asking too much
Won't you let me try
And make it up to you
Am I asking too much
Even though I hurt you so
Don't say were through
Am I asking too much
Or is this love we had
Baby, I know all about you
I heard long ago about you
They say you're mighty fast
You've got a wicked past
Ooo, all I know about you.
You'll never get my heart
Won't be upsetting my heart
I'll never treat you, won't
I'm just too well in bond
Ooo, all I know about you.
And if you think that you
can steal my heart a word
Why don't you try, I dare you to try
If you play you're gonna lose the game
'Cause I will never take my guard away
Come on and try
Though I'm nice I'll be cold as ice
Cause I know all about you.
Baby, I know all about you
There's nothing slow about you
Kiss me and then you'll see
Wonder within of me
Ooo, all I know about you.
Baby, I'm mad about you
I'm so glad about you
One little kiss and wow
I'm a believer now
Ooo, all I know about you, babe.
I'm so wild about you
I feel like a child about you
It felt like this before
I wanna kiss ya more
Ooo, all I know about you, babe.
I know all about you
And I like what I know about you
One little kiss and wow
I'm a believer now
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
I got your picture hangin' on the wall
It can't see or come to me when I call your name
I realize it's just a picture in a frame
I read your letters when you're not near
But they don't move me
And they don't groove me like when I hear
Your sweet voice whispering in my ear
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
I play the game, a fantasy
I pretend I'm not in reality
I need the shelter of your arms to comfort me
No other sound os quite the same as your name
No touch can do half as much to make me feel better
So let's stay together
I got some memories to look back on
And though they help me when you phone
I'm well aware nothing can take the place of being there
So let me get the real thing
So let me get the real thing
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
If you need me
call me
no matter where you are
no matter how far
Just call my name
I'll be there in a hurry
On that you can depend and never worry
No wind (no wind)
no rain (no rain)
No winter's cold
can stop me
Babe (Oh Babe)
Baby (Baby)
If you're not cold
No wind
No rain
Can stop me baby if you are gone
I know
I know you must follow the sun
wherever it leads
But remember
if you should fall short of your desires
remember life holds for you one guarantee
you'll always have me
And if you should miss my lovin'
One of these old (days)
If you should ever miss the arms that use(d) to hold you so close
Or the lips that use(d) to touch yours so tenderly
Just remember
what I told you the day I set you free
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from you
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough (say it again)
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from you
Ain't no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me, keep me from you
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough (one more time)
Ain't no river wide enough (say it again)
To keep me from you
Please lock me away
And don't allow the day
Here inside where I hide
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love
Birds sing out of tune
And rain outside hide the moon
I'm OK, here I'll stay
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love
So I wait and in a while
I will see my true love's smile
He may come, I know not when
When he does I lose
So baby until then
Lock me away
And don't allow the day
Here inside where I hide
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love
So I wait and in a while
I will see my true love's smile
He may come, I know not when
When he does I know
So baby until then
Lock me away
And don't allow the day
Here inside where I hide
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love
I don't care what they say
Winds may blow over icy sea
I'll take with me the warmth of thee
A taste of honey
A taste much sweeter, sweeter than wine.
I will return, I'll return
Oh, I'll come back for the honey and you
Now baby, hey.
I'll leave behind my heart to wear
And may it ever remind you of
A taste of honey
A taste much sweeter than wine.
I will return, I'll return
I'll come back for the honey and you.
He never came back to his love so fair
And so she died dreaming of his kiss
His kiss was honey
A taste much bitter than wine
Oh, baby, baby, baby.
I'll return (come on back)
I'm coming back (come on back)
I'll be back now baby (come on back)
I'll be back, ooohI'll come back for the honey
And you, baby (honey!)
You, baby (honey!), you, baby
Like a long lonely stream
I keep runnin' towards a dream
Movin' on, movin' on
Like a branch on a tree
I keep reachin' to be free
Movin' on, movin' on
'Cause there's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for ev'ryone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
There's a place in the sun
And before my life is done
Got to find me a place in the sun
Like an old dusty road
I get weary from the load
Movin' on, movin' on
Like this tired troubled earth
I've been rollin' since my birth
Movin' on, movin' on
There's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for ev'ryone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
There's a place in the sun
And before my life is done
Got to find me a place in the sun
You know when times are bad
And you're feeling sad
I want you to always remember
Yes, there's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for ev'ryone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
There's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for ev'ryone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
There's a place in the sun
Gone is your smiling face
'Cause you're not around anymore
But the sound of your laughter
Still fills this empty place
'Cause you're always in my heart
Gone is the tender way
You used to whisper
How much you care
But the sound of your whisper
Still echoes lovely in the air
'Cause you're always in my heart
Though I removed
Your picture from the wall
Nothing's changed
For your image still remains
In my heart from you
It can't seem to part
Though gone is your warm embrace
But your memory
I can't erase
'Cause you're always in my heart
'Cause you're always in my heart
How gentle is the rain
That falls softly on the meadow
Birds high up on the trees
Serenade the clouds with their melodies
How gentle is the rain
That falls softly on the meadow
Birds high up on the trees
Serenade the clouds with their melodies
Oh, see there beyond the hill
The bright colours of the rainbow
Some magic from above
Made this day for us just to fall in love
You'll hold me in your arms
And say once again you love me
And if your love is true
Everything will be just as wonderful
Now I belong to you
From this day until forever
Just love me tenderly
And I'll give to you every part of me
Oh, don't ever make me cry
Through long lonely nights without love
Be always true to me
Keep this day in your heart eternally
Someday we shall return
To this place upon the meadow
We'll walk out in the rain
Hear the birds above singing once again
You'll hold me in your arms
And say once again you love me
And if your love is true
Everything will be just as wonderful
You'll hold me in your arms
And say once again you love me
And if your love is true
Everything will be just as wonderful
Just hold me in your arms
And say once again you love me
And if your love is true
Everything will be just as wonderful
You'll hold me in your arms
And say once again you love me
And if your love is true
We'll laugh 'till the tears start falling
Love 'till a new love's calling
Talk 'till it seems we've said it all before
But when my words no longer reach you
When I've nothing left to teach you
I'll let a little breeze blow me out the door
We'll kiss away each others sorrow
Live as though there's no tomorrow
It would we can give until there's nothing more
But when I ask and you refuse me
'Cause you don't care if you should lose me
I'll let a little breeze blow me out the door
You know that I'll never leave you
While I know that I still please you
And perhaps our love will last forever more
But if there are tears I must cry them
And you no longer want to dry them
I'll let a little breeze blow me out the door
It's been a hard day's night
And I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night
I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright.
You know I work all day
To get you money to buy you things
And it's worth it just to hear you say
You're going to give me ev'rything
So why on earth should I moan
'Cause when I get you alone
You know I feel ok
When I'm home ev'rything seems to be right
When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeh
It's been a hard day's night
And I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night
I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright.
Owww!
So why on earth should I moan
'cause when I get you alone
You know I feel ok
When I'm home ev'rything seems to be right
When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeh
It's been a hard day's night
And I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night
I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright.
You know I feel alright
A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you will lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling through
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true
I was born by the river
In a little tent
Oh, and just like the river
I've been running ever since
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gon' come
Oh, yes it will
It's been too hard living
But I'm afraid to die
'Cause I don't know what's up there
beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gon' come
Oh yes it will
I go to the movie
And I go downtown
Somebody keep tellin' me don't
hang around
It's been a long, a long time comin'
But I know a change gon' come
Oh yes it will
Then I go to my brother
And I say, "Brother, help me please?"
But he winds up knocking me
Back down on my knees, ohhh!
There been times that I thought
I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
One night you held me tight
And whispered in my ear
All night sweet words
I never heard
And I believed every word
Next day you came my way
Without a word to say you passed me by
You didn't bat an eye
My darling won't you tell me why
You're acting strange toward me
Why have you changed toward me
Are you just a breathtaking
First sight soul-shaking
One night love-making
Next day heartbreaking guy
That night your love was true
The next day we were through
Your love was gone
And you were moving on
And I was left to cry alone
What have I done to you
Was it just fun to you
Are you just a breathtaking
First sight soul-shaking
One night love-making
Next day heartbreaking guy
Breathtaking, soulshaking,
Lovemaking, heartbreaking guy
Breathtaking, soulshaking,
All those empty reasons that we give ourselves
For going on or dying in your misty eyes
Floating on a boat that so filled with both our lives
We'll never make the shore
I don't wanna know about the whole affair
And you don't wanna know about his pretty hair
Both of us would like that just pretend they weren't there
But not anymore, not anymore
I don't know what you are gonna do
But I decided I can make it on my own
I didn't wanna be here, baby
When you got home sitting alone
But the 5:30 plane's already gone
How long have we been waiting for the light to change?
Long enough to know that green is dubious
Long enough to know that there's no sense to us
And the line is pretty long, yeah
I don't wanna know about the sweet details
And you don't wanna know how even I can fail
This morning, I don't feel like driving any nails
You can have the floor, you can have the floor
I don't know what you are gonna do
But I decided I can make it on my own
I didn't wanna be here, baby
When you got home sitting alone
Whenever I'm with him
Something inside starts to burnin'
And I'm filled with desire
Could it be a devil in me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be?
It's like a heat wave
Burnin' in my heart
I can't keep from cryin'
It's tearin' me apart
Whenever he calls my name
Soft, low, sweet and plain
I feel, right there
I feel that burnin' flame
Has high blood pressure got a hold on me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be?
It's like a heat wave
Burnin' in my heart
I can't keep from cryin'
It's tearin' me apart
Sometimes I stare in space
Tears all over my face
I can't explain it
Don't understand it
I ain't never felt like this before
Now this funny feelin' has me amazed
I don't know what to do
My head's in a haze
It's like a heat wave
I recorded the lyrics at the end of the thrid verse as
It's like a heat wave
Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah!
(go ahead and cry girl)
Oh Yeah!
(go ahead girl)
Yeah yeah!
(well it's alright)
Yeah yeah!
(ain't nothing but love girl)
Yeah yeah!
(unintelligible)
(sounds like a new romance)
Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah!
(Burning burning burning)
Right here in my heart
Tossin' and turnin' and losin' my sleep
Cause heartaches by the number you gave to me.
I'm so glad heartaches don't last always.
But I'm so glad heartaches don't last always.
I feel uplifted and at ease
Since my heartaches went away
Someway, somehow I've gotten over you now
No more sitting by the phone
Mo more wondering if you're alone
Tossin' and turnin' and losin' my sleep
Cause heartaches by the number you gave to me
I'm so glad heartaches don't last always
I'm so glad heartaches don't last always
Getting over you was hard cause we were so close.
In the middle of sweet memeories is when it hurt the most.
But I just kept on trying in between crying and ...
Tossin' and turnin' and losin' my sleep
Cause heartaches by the number you gave to me
I'm so glad heartaches don't last always
I'm so glad heartaches don't last always.
How happy I am now that I'm over you.
It's so wonderful this change in me.
How rejoiced I am to be over you at last no more ...
Tossin' and turnin' and losin' my sleep
Cause heartaches by the number you gave to me
I'm so glad heartaches don't last always
Seventeen

I don't care because I'm just sixteen
And my guy is seventeen
He's only seventeen
He loves me
And we're as happy as two can be
We have pledged our love eternally
And my guy is seventeen

That makes me love him so

Don't you know, know, know
He's seventeen

Please don't ever break these chains of love
You've wrapped around me
'Cause I've been so happy darling
Ever since the day you've bound me
So tighter, pull 'em tighter
Till I feel love's sweet pain
'Cause these chains of love
Keep me from going insane
Love, oh love sweet love
Comes but once in a lifetime
The only love I need is yours
And oh, darling, I hope you need mine
So tighter, pull 'em tighter
Till I feel love's sweet pain
'Cause these chains of love
Keep me from going insane
I felt so sure I could resist you
My mistake was the first time I kissed you
Now I'm caught in a web of my own making
My heart's full of love and it's yours for the taking
Ooh, take it, baby don't break it
Just like a thief in the night
You stole my heart away
But now that you stolen it darling
I've only got one thing to say
Tighter, pull 'em tighter
Till I feel love's sweet pain
'Cause these chains of love
Keep me from going insane
These chains of love
Tighter, tighter, tighter these chains
Chains of love
Baby, baby, baby these chains
Chains of love
Lock 'em up, lock 'em up, lock 'em up
Oh my baby's comin home tomorrow
Ain't that good news
Yeah, ain't that news
My baby is coming home tomorrow
Ain't that news
Yeah, ain't that news
I got a letter just the other day
Telling me that he was on his way
And he wants me to meet him at the station
Ain't that good news
Yeah, ain't that news
In the letter he told me he still loved me
Ain't that good news
Yeah, ain't that news
In the letter he told me he loved me
Ain't that news
Yeah, ain't that news
He said he's sorry that he left
Found out he don't want nobody else
He said he wants me all to himself now
Ain't that good news
Yeah, ain't that news
Ain't that news
Ain't that good news
Ain't that news
Ain't that news
I said my baby's coming home tomorrow
Ain't that good news
Yeah, ain't that news
I'm gonna have him a party at the station
Ain't that good news
Yeah, ain't that news
Have a party at the station
Ain't that news
Yeah, ain't that news
And I can't wait to get him home
Where we can finally be alone
Disconnect my telephone now
Ain't that good news
Yeah, ain't that news
Ain't that news
Ain't that good news
I said my baby's coming home tomorrow
Ain't that good news
Yeah, ain't that news
Ain't that news
