(William ";Smokey"; Robinson)
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
Bringing back memories
Deke Richards-Sherlie Matthews
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?
Build up trust, then tear it down oh tell me why
(Special lyrics to";My World Is Empty Without You";)(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)
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 tonightBerry, 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
Just couldn't feel the song without you...
(Berry Gordy)
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
Nobody but me
(William ";Smokey"; Robinson)
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 complainAnd 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
Every day those D.J. shows
(William ";Smokey"; Robinson/R.Rogers/W. Moore)
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
Then I guess this love I feel...
(Mitch Leigh/Joe Darion)
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 afat
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 causeAnd 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
To dream the impossible dream
(Kohan/Angelos)

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 highThe 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
Surfer boy, surfer boy, surfer boy

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
Say yeah, yeah, yeah, say yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sylvester Stewart
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
Time for you ladies to do your thing.
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)
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 strenght
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
From this loneliness
There's no hiding place
Inside this cold and empty house I dwell
In darkness with memories
I know so wellI need love know
More then before
I can hardly
Carry on anymore
My world is emty without you, babe
Without you, babe
(My world is emty) 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 emty without you, babe
Without you, babe
(My world is emty) without you, babe
Without you, babe
Without you, babe
(Richard Rodgers/Oscar Hammerstein)
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 thingsWhen 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
Ooh, my favorite things
Brian Holland-Lamont Dozier-Edward Holland, Jr.
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
Sweet love is in our hearts.
Al Capps-Mary Dean
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
Keep on shining, keep on shining.
IF A GIRL ISN‰ PRETTY
Jule Styne-Bob Merrill
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
That oblivion is hard, a drag.
Lawrence Brown-George Gordy-Allen Story-Anna Gaye
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
I'm glad, glad, glad, glad I got you.
Brian Holland-Lamont Dozier-Edward Holland, Jr.
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 youÅ e 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 youÅ e 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
Just can't make it alone.
Brian Holland-Lamont Dozier-Edward Holland, Jr.
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
Yes indeed.

Oh Mary, Cindy...
Listen, isn't that Diane?
Hey Mary, Cindy...
It is Diane.
Where are you, where are you?
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
With a heigh ho, heigh ho
(Jule Styne/Bob Merrill)
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 girlFunny
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

Can't buy me love,
I'll buy you a diamond ring my friend
If it makes you feel alright
I'll get you anything my friend,
If it makes you feel alright
For I don't care too much for money
For money can't buy me love
I'll give you all I got to give
If you say you love me too
I may not have a lot to give
What I got
I'll give to you
For I don't care too much for money
For money can't buy me love
Can't buy me loveEverybody tells me so
Can't buy me love
No no no no,
Say you don't need no diamond ring
And I'll be satisfied
Tell me that you want those kind of things
That money just can't buy
For I don't care too much for money
For money can't buy me love
Can't buy me love
Everybody tells me so
Can't buy me love
No no no no,
Say you don't need no diamond ring
And I'll be satisfied
Tell me that you want those kind of things
That money just can't buy
For I don't care too much for money
For money can't buy me love
Can't buy me love
Can't buy me love
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)
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 life my life at ease
Being happy lovin' whom I please
And each time we make romance
I'll be thankfull for a second chanceOoh! 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
So satisfied
(William ";Smokey"; Robinson)
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 seekingAre 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
Are you sure L-O-V-E love is the name of this game
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
Ooo, all I know about you.
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
I'm coming back now baby (come on back).
(Paul McCartney/John Lennon)
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
To hear you say
You're gonna give me everything
So why I love to come home
'Cause when I get you alone
you know I'm feeling okay
When I'm home
Everything seems to be right
When I'm home
Feeling you hold me tight, tight
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 logBut when I get home to you
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
So why I love to come home
'Cause when I get you alone
you know I'm feeling okay
When I'm home
Everything seems to be alright
When I'm home
Feeling you hold me tight, tight
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'll feel alright
You know I'll feel alright
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 and then 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
I'm so glad heartaches don't last always

Lover of mine
Gone to a faraway land
Serving your country
On some faraway sand
But 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
Your heart belongs to meIf 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
Remember your heart belongs to me
Far across the sea
(William ";Smokey"; Robinson)
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
TighterI 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
You really got a hold on me
(Anna Gaye/Allen Story/George Gordy)
I believe in everything you do

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 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 trueYou'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

So wonderful to me
Oh, yes you have

Wonderful to me
Wonderful
Oh, yes you have
Wonderful
You've been so wonderful

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 loveYou'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
The world is the same and you'll never remain the same

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 meIf 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
You need me, you need me
(Clarence Paul)
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 heartIt'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
You didn't care
(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart)
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 againAnd 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
But who knows where or when
(Paul McCartney/John Lennon)
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 yesterdayYesterday,
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
Mm mm mm mm
Writers Robert Sherman, Richard Sherman
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
Let them go
(Billy Rose/Edward Eliscu/Vincent Youmans)
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 songI'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
Without a song
(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart)
With a song in my heart
I behold your adorable face
Just a song at the start
But it soon is a hymn to your grace
When the music swells
I'm touching your hand
It tells that me you're standing near
And at the sound of your voice
Heaven opens its portals to me
Can I help but rejoice
That a song such as ours came to be?
But I always knew
I would live life through
With a song in my heart for you
(Vicki Basemore/Sylvia Moy/Henry Cosby)
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 frownLove, 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
We've got no reason to frown
(Ned Washington/Leigh Harline)
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 longingLike 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
Your dream comes true
(William ";Smokey"; Robinson)
When I had you here
I treated you bad
And wrong my dear
And since
Oh, since you went away
Don't you know I sit around with my head hanging down
And I wonder
Who is loving you
I, I, I should have never, ever, ever made you cry
And since, since you went away
Don't you know I sit around with my head hanging down
And I wonder
Who is loving youLife 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
Wonder who is loving you
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)
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 himRearrange 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 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
If you turn away
(Irving Berlin)
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 whiteOoh, 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
And may all your christmases be white
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)
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 thingsWhisper 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
Whisper, whisper
James Dean-William Weatherspoon/R. Weatherspoon
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 wonÅ stop giving you love
Giving you love (giving you love, giving you love).
(Hal David/Burt Bacharach)
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 everyoneLord 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
What the world needs now...
(Paul Riser/James Deam/William Weatherspoon)
SPOKEN:
A world filled with love is a wonderfull sight
Being in love is what's heart's delight
But that look of love isn't on my face
That enchanted feeling has been replaced
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 who care
Always movin' and goin' nowhereWhat 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
But someone look
There's a growing need
Oh, he 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
I'll be searching everywhere
(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart)
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 halfWait 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
You won't believe your eyes
(J. Webb)
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 balloonSuspended 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

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 meOh, 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
Don't be mean, John Henry

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 moreToyland, 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
You can never return again
(Wm. Robinson, Jr.)
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
Stay with me, baby
(M. Johnson)
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 endMy 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
The beginning of the end
(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart)
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 eyesThis 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
(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart)
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 peopleWhen 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
Thank that small hotel together
(H. Gordy/A. Story)
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 livesHere'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
Woh
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
Woh

For the young's folks
(oh, oh yeah)
(Robinson/Rodgers)
You got a smile so bright
You know you could've been a candle
I'm holding you so tight
You know you could've been a handle
The way you swept me off my feet
You know you could've been a broom
The way you smell so sweet
You know you could've been some perfume
Well you could've been anything
That you wanted to and I can tell
The way you do the things you do
The way you do the things you doYou made my life so rich
You know could've been some money
And baby you're so sweet
You know could've been some honey
Well you could've been anything
That you wanted to and I can tell
The way you do the things you do
Brian Holland-Lamont Dozier-Edward Holland, Jr.
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
Is the only time your love is mine.

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 trampI get too hungry for dinner at eight

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 OrleansNow 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
And God I know I'm one

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抰 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
Attaching me to you.

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
To go on living, to keep on giving this way.

I'm giving you my heart, 'cause I...

STRANGER IN PARADISE
Take my hand
I'm a stranger in Paradise
All lost in a wonderland
A stranger in Paradise
If I stand starry-eyed
That's a danger in Paradise
For mortals who stand beside
I'm an angel like youI saw your face
And I ascended
Out of the commonplace
Into the rare
Somewhere in space
I hang suspended
Until I know
There's a chance that you care
Won't you answer that fervent prayer
Of a stranger in Paradise
Don't send me in dark despair
From all that I hunger for
But open your angel arms
To a stranger in Paradise
And tell her that she need be
A stranger no more
(Buie/Cobb)
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 dayYesterday'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
Stormy, stormy
(Bob Hilliard/Mort Garson)

Why don't you 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

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
Spring is here I hear

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
Yes we will, yes we will

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 trueSome 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
Some day my prince will come
(Don Wolf/Santo Farina/Johnny Farina/AnnFarina)
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 insaneSleep 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
I will sleep walk no more
(Jay Livingston/Ray Evans)
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 ChristmasChildren 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
Soon it will be Christmas day

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, babyWhen 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
To soothe this heart of mine
(Gordy/Gordy/Bradford)
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 youAnd 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
Oh, save me a star
(William ";Smokey"; Robinson)
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 babyYou 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
Ooowee baby
(Johnny Marks)
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 gamesThen 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
You'll go down in history";

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.
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
Remove this doubt from my heart.
(B. Campbell)
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 knowWhy 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
I loved him so...

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
Queen of the house
(Adams/Strouse)
Gray skies are gonna clear up
Put on a happy face
Wipe of the clouds and cheer up
Put on a happy face
Take of the gloomy mask of tragedy
It's not your style
You'll look so good that you'll be glad
That you decided to smile
Pick out a pleasant outlook
Stick out that nobel chin
Wipe off that full-of-doubt look
Snap on a happy grin
Spread sunshine all over the place
And just put on a happy
Put on a happy face
Gray skies are gonna clear up
Put on a happy face
Wipe of the clouds and cheer up
Put on a happy face
Take of the gloomy mask of tragedy
It's not your style
You'll look so good that you'll be glad
That 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
And just put on a happy
Put on a happy face

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
For a girl with a broken heart
(Jule Styne/Bob Merrill)
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 childrenPeople
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
Are the luckiest people in the world
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland,Jr.)
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 meI 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
He may be
(Berry Gordy, Jr.)
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 loveI 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
Never again
(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart)
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 youMy 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
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 am his forever more.
(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart)
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!
Each day is valentine's day
(Jimmy Webb)
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 tallThe 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
Has gone away from me...
(William ";Smokey"; Robinson)
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
Hey, Mr. Blues
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)
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 longerHelp, 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
He keeps your daughter crying
(Marcello Ciorciolini/Riziero Ortolani/NinoOliviero/Norman Newell)
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
No one else will love you more
(John Lennon/Paul McCartney)
Michelle, Ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble

These are words which go together well
My MichelleI love you, I love you, I love you

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
And you will be happy too
(Wm. Robinson, Jr.)
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 tomorrowYou 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
Is better than ever
(Pam Sawyer/R. Dean Taylor/Frank Wilson/Deke Richards)
Tenement slum
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 maybe creating
Love child, never meant to be
Love child, (scorned by) society
Love child, always second best
Love child, different from the rest
Mm, baby (hold on, hold on, just a little bit)
Mm, 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
I'll always love you
Brian Holland-Lamont Dozier-Edward Holland, Jr.
Love, love, love makes me do foolish things
Sitting on by the phone, a phone that never rings
Hoping to hear you say you love me still
Knowing you never will.
Love, love, love has made a fool of me
Got me doing things, things that shouldn't be
Listening for the sound of your knock on my door
Knowing that sweet sound would be no more.
Funny how precious memories linger on
So long after youÅ e gone
Oooh, precious memories that all makes me cry
But I keep holding on, oh why should I?
All because love, love, love has made a fool of me
Speak your name softly each night
While holding your picture tight
When you took my heart, you took my soul
And it's far beyond control.
Funny how precious memories linger on
So long, long after you're gone
Oh, precious memories that all makes me cry
But I keep holding on, oh why should I?
All because love, love, love makes me do these things
Love, love, love, love has made a fool of me
Love, love, love makes me do foolish things.
(R. Miller/R. Jacques/W. Vandenberg)
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 againAren'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
And help little Miss loser win
(Matt Dennis/Thomas Adair)
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
Let's get away from it all

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
Of his love
(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart)
Johnny could only sing one note
And the note he sang was this:
Ah
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 not 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
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
Sing Johnny one note
Sing out with gusto and just overwhelm all the crowd
(James Dean/Edward Holland, Jr.)
So sweet you are
Like a shining star
You brighten my whole world
It brings me joy being your girl
'Cause everything's good about you
I couldn't live without you
You're so sweet, you're so fine
I'm so thankful that you're mine
Full of clover
Bustin' out all over
You're the summer in the park
You're the candle in the dark
And I love you, so true
Yes, I doYou're the love of my life
You're a pure delight
The short time I've been with you
You must've come from heaven above
You're the poets meaning of love
You're tender touch means oh so much
You're the sunshine after the storm
When I'm cold you make me warm
And I love you, so true
Yes, I do
It's a lonely day and night
And things will be alright
Together just you and me
Just living in pure ecstacy
'Cause everything's good about you
I couldn't live without you
You are my guiding light
When things go wrong
You make them right
This heart inside's bursting with pride
Please let your heart surround me
And always stay around me
I love you, so true
Yes, I do, yeah
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland,Jr.)
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 babySweet 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
Ooh baby, ooh baby, ooh my baby
(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart)
Once I laughed when I heard your saying
That I'd be playing solitaire
Uneasy in my easy chair
It never entered my mindOnce 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 never entered my mind
(Floyd Tillman)
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 youI 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
It makes no difference now
(Leslie Bricusse/Cyril Ornadel)
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 occurredMy 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 I ruled the world
(Whitfield/Strong)
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 tenSo 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
I'm the one you can't fool
(William ";Smokey"; Robinson/AlCleveland)
Maybe you'll wanna give me kisses sweet
But only for one night and no repeat
And maybe you'll go away and never call
And a taste of honey is worse than none at all
Oh, little boy!
In that case I don't want nobody
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 little time of devotion
I second that emotionMaybe you'll think that love will tie you down
And you don't have the time to hang around
Or maybe you'll think that love will make us fools
And so it makes you wise to break the rules
Oh, little girl!
In that case I don't want nobody
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 little time of devotion
I second that emotion
In that case I don't want nobody
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
Brian Holland-Lamont Dozier-Edward Holland, Jr.
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
Now that I am in love again.
Debbie Dean-Dennis Lussier- James Kuroki
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 wonÅ 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
I'm gonna make it, I will wait for you.
(William ";Smokey"; Robinson)
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
I'll try something new
(Paul McCartney/John Lennon)
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 hideYeah, 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

And when I touch you
I feel happy inside
It's such a feeling that my love

I think you'll understand
When I say that something
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand

(Brian Holland/Berry Gordy, Jr./FreddieGorman)
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 againI 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
A guy
(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart)
I didn't know what time it was
Then I met you
Oh, what a lovely time it was
How sublime it was, too
I didn't know what day it was
You held my hand
Warm like the month of May it was
And I'll say it was grandGrand to be alive, to be young
To be mad, to be yours alone
Grand to see your face, feel your touch
Hear your voice say I'm all your own
I didn't know what year it was
Life was no prize
I wanted love and here it was
Shining out of your eyes
I'm wise and I know what time it is now
Time it is now
Time it is now
I didn't know what year it was
Life was no prize
I wanted love and here it was
Shining out of your eyes
I'm wise and I know what time it is now
Time it is now
Time it is now
What time is it?
Time it is now
Anybody know what time it is?

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 insideWhen 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 can't help myself
(Jule Styne/Bob Merrill)
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 kissI 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
Let's kiss
(Mitch Murray)
How do you do what you do to me
I wish I knew
If I knew how you do it to me
I'll 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 itHow 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
When I do it to you
Jule Styne-Bob Merrill
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, itÅ pretty.
-Oh, oh-And know why? Cause it makes me feel beautiful. "Mirror, mirror on the
wall, whoÅ 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
Beautiful, beautiful bride.

Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let him in to your heart
And you can start to make it better

The minute you let him under your skin
Then you begin to make it better
Anytime you feel the pain

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
In my mind's eye I can see how happy we'll be.

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

We'd like to know a little bit
About you for our files

Stroll around the grounds
Until you feel at home
And here's to you Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know

Discover Me (And You'll Discover Love)
(John Bristol-Doris McNeill-Beatrice Verdi)
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'll 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
Discover me oh babe.
(J. Webb)
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
Didn't we almost make it this time?
(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart)
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 loveIn 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
Just for my love

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.
Born of Mary.
(Bob Dylan)
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
The answer is blowin' in the wind

hey big spenda, hey big spenda hey big spenda.
The minute you walked in the joint
I could see you were a man of distinction
A real big spender
Good looking, so refined
Say wouldn't you like to know what's going on in my mind?
So let me get right to the point
I don't pop my cork for every guy I see
Hey, big spender!
Hey, big spender!
Hey, big spender
Spend a little time with me
(Dave Clark)
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 blueGive 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
Because, because I love you
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)
Ooh baby love, my baby love
I need you, oh how I need you
But all you do is treat me bad
Break my heart and leave me sad
Tell me, what did I do wrong
To make you stay away so long
'Cause baby love, my baby love
Been missing ya, miss kissing ya
Instead of breaking up
Let's do some kissing and making up
Don't throw our love away
In my arms why don't you stay
Need ya, need ya
Baby love, ooh, baby love
Baby love, my baby love
Why must we seperate, my love
All of my whole life through
I never loved no one but you
Why you do me like you do
I get this needOoh, ooh, need to hold you
Once again, my love
Feel your warm embrace, my love
Don't throw our love away
Please don't do me this way
Not happy like I used to be
Loneliness has got the best of me
My love, my baby love
I need you, oh how I need you
Why you do me like you do
After I've been true to you
So deep in love with you
Baby, baby, ooh 'til it's hurtin' me
'Til it's hurtin' me
Ooh, baby love
Don't throw our love away
Don't throw our love away
(B. Holland/L. Dozier/E. Holland, Jr.)
Although you're never near
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
Got to have all your loving
Some say it's a sign of weakness
For a girl to beg
Then weak I'd rather be
If it means having you to keep
'Cause lately I been losing sleepBaby, 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
Baby, I need your loving
Got to have all your loving
(Berry Gordy, Jr.)
You said you loved me
We'd never part
Now you're breaking
Yes you are breaking my heart
Baby don't go, don't go, don't go, baby don't go
Stay and tell me I'm still your baby
You found another love
But it can't be true
Because you love me
And I'll always love you
Baby don't go, don't go, don't go, baby don't go
Stay and tell me I'm still your baby
True love is hard to find
But you'll never never never find a love like mine
Darling, yes, my darling
Yes, stay stay by my side
Baby don't go, don't go, baby don't go Don't go, don't go, baby don't go
Stay and tell me I'm still your baby
Stay and tell me I'm still your baby
I wanna be, I wanna be your baby Come on...
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)
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 cryAsk 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 sit and cry
(Sharp)
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 doorWe'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
I'll let a little breeze blow me out the door
(James Rado/Gerome Ragni/Galt MacDermot)

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 thenLock 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
I won't stay in a world without love
(Ron Miller/Bryan Wells)
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' onThere'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
Where there's hope for ev'ryone...
(Denny Randell/Sandy Linzert)
How gentle is the rain
That falls softly on the meadow
Birds high up in the trees
Serenade the flowers 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
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 eternallySomeday 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
Everything will be just as wonderful
(Mack David/Al Hoffman/Jerry Livingstone)
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
So dream...
(S. Cooke)
I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I've been running ever since
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh, yes it is
It's been too hard living
But I'm afraid to die
I don't know what's up there beyond the skyIt's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh yes it will
Then I go to my brother
I say brother help me please
But he winds up knocking me
Back down on my knees
There's been times that I thought
I wouldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will
(Clarence Paul/Berry Gordy)
He's a groovy swinging guy
With the rock and roll banjo band
I got a sweet little guy
Who lives down the street
But nobody knows his name
Everybody was sad and feeling so bad
But that was before he came
Now everybody in the neighborhood
Seems to walk with a steady beat
By the rhythm of the guy
With the rock and roll banjo band
The way he plays that thing
It makes my poor heart ring
I'm gonna marry that guy someday
If you wanna know why I love him so
Then you ought to come and hear him play

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 nearHere 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 took advantage of me
(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart)
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 doGive 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
Thou grand
(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart)
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 stillI 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
Baby, I don't wanna talk about you
(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart)
In a mountain greenery
Where God paints the scenery
Just two crazy people together
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 looking
Beans could get no keener reception
In a beanery
Bless our mountain greenery homeIn a mountain greenery
Where God paints the scenery
Just three crazy people together
How we love sequestering
Where no pests are pestering
No men holds us together
Mosquitoes here
Won't bite you, dear
I'll let them sting
Me on my finger
We could find no cleaner retreat
From life's machinery
Than our mountain greenery
(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart)
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 mineHey 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
Sweet lover
(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart)
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 goldSit 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
To cheer little girl blue
(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart)
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 goldBlue 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
Without a love of my own
(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart)
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
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
(B. Gordy, Jr./J. Bradford)

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 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 guy 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 meCupid, 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
Cupid
(Clarence Paul)
Stop hurting me
Now don't you think you're overdoing it
I still care I must admit
I know that if we ever break up
I know you'll never make up
And I'm sorry, so sorry
But my heart can't take it no more
How the times you lied
You know how many times I cried
Lonely tears brought me misery
Maybe one day you realize
Just how I really tried
Darling to make you happyI gave my heart
You only took it and destroyed it
And now you say it's me you love
Yet you cheated and deceived me
And now you say you want to keep me
And I'm sorry, so sorry
But my heart can't take it no more
My heart can't take it no more
My heart can't take it no more
(Johnny Mercer/Hoagy Carmichael)
Lazy bones
Sleeping, sleeping in a noon day sun
Tell me, how you spect to get your days work done
Days work done
You'll never get your days work done
Sleeping, lazy bones
Sleeping in a noon day sun
When day's dusk means praying
I bet you keep praying
That all the bugs fall off the vineAnd when you go fishing
I bet you keep wishing
That the fish would never never grab your line
You old lazy bones
Loafin, loafin all through the day
Tell me how you spect to make a dime that way
Dime that way
You'll never make a dime that way
Well look at him, lazy bones
Never hear a word I say
Lazy bones

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 dayGee, 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

In time you're gonna pay

How time slips away

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 youOh, 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
I have for you
(Harvey Fuqua/Robert Gordy)
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 firePlease 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
Fire, fire
(S. Cooke)

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
No other song will do
(Clarence Paul/Stevie Wonder/Ted Hull)
Oh, baby doll, baby doll
He's my baby doll
He's good to me
So true to me
He's all right for me
You know I'm gonna love him forever
And give my life to him completely
I belong to my baby doll
He's 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 dollHe's sugar to my taste
He's got sweet kisses
And a warm embrace
He's my baby doll, ooh baby doll
Please say he'll always be mine
From this day please tell me you'll love me
'Till the end of time
You know I'm gonna love him forever
And give my life to him completely
I belong to my baby doll
He's my baby doll, yeah
He's so right for me, yeah
The girls, they envy me, yeah
Ooh, baby doll
(Jobim/Gimble/DeMoraes)
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 - ahOoh, 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)
He just doesn't see, he never sees me
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)
Baby, baby
Baby don't leave me
Ooh, please don't leave me
All by myself
I've got this burning, burning
Yearning feelin' inside me
Ooh, deep inside me
And it hurts so bad
You came into my heart
So tenderly
With a burning love
That stings like a bee
Now that I surrender
So helplessly
You now wanna leave
Ooh, you wanna leave me
Ooh, baby, baby
Where did our love go?
Ooh, don't you want me
Don't you want me no moreOoh, baby
Baby, baby
Where did our love go
And all your promisses
Of a love forever more
I've got this burning, burning
Yearning feelin' inside me
Ooh, deep inside me
And it hurts so bad
Before you won my heart
You were a perfect guy
But now that you got me
You wanna leave me behind
Baby, baby, ooh baby
Baby, baby don't leave me
Ooh, please don't leave me
All by myself
Ooh, baby, baby
Where did our love go?
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)
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 himSo 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
I'm standing at the crossroads
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)
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 himDon'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
Oh no no no
(William ";Smokey"; Robinson)
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 betterLong 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
My baby is a long gone lover
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)
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 careI'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
Making each other blue
(Norman Whitfield)
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 meMy 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
I really care
(William ";Smokey"; Robinson)
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 give 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 guyThat night your love was true
The next day we were through
Your love won't come
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,
Lovemaking, heartbreaking guy
(L. Cooke)

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 beI 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

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

Ain't that good news
Yeah, ain't that news

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 eyeWhen 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
You see I'm a poor man's son
(Jamie Robertson)
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
Put the weight on me
(Wm. Robinson/R. White)
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)
Nothing you can say could tear me away from my guy
(Wm. Robinson/W. Moore/M. Tarplin)
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'd be long gone
(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)
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
Ain't nothing like the real thing
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)
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 loveThere'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
Now that we've...

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,
smother you
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)
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 neverIt'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
Since you been gone
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr./R. Dean Taylor)
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
Turn to stone
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)
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 giveI'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
I guess I'll always love you
Save me! Save me, save me!
Save me! Save me, save me!
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 gone
Drowning in the love that keeps me breathing
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
I'm going down, down for the third time.
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)
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 heartThough 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
'Cause you're always in my heart
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)
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 feel it
Burnin', right here in my heart
It's like a heat wave
(Bob Nolan)
See them tumbling down
They're pledging their love to the ground
Lonely but free I'll be found
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds
All the cares
Have been left behind
Nowhere to go but I'll find
Just where the trail will wind
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweedsI know when night has gone
That new worlds falling down
I'll keep running alone
Deep in my heart there's a song
Here on the ridge I belong
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds
I'll keep running along
Deep in my heart there's a song
Here on the ridge I belong
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds along
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds along
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds along
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds along
(Clarence Paul)
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 vainYou 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
Are all these tears in vain
(Clarence Paul/Stevie Wonder)
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 sunsetSunset
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
Oh, sunset
(Larry Morey/Frank Churchill)
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
OK
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?
Come on Florence, I'll teach you
(Robinson/Rogers/Tarplin/Moore)
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 liedThe 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
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)
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 sureWhen 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
Say goodbye
(R. Miller/A. Miller)
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 starIn the world of fantasy
Your heart stays young and free
And no one cares how old you are

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletidecarols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like eskimos
Everybody knows, a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season brightTiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mothers child is gonna spy
To see if reindeers really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry christmas, merry christmas
Merry christmas to you
(Sondheim/Bernstein)
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
Somewhere

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 demandFought 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
Davy, Davy Crocket
King of the Wild Fronteer
He sure loved those woods
Davy, Davy Crocket
King of the Wild Fronteer
Mmm, Davy!

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!

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 busyHe 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
Slow down, baby
(B. Verdi/J. Bristol/H. Fuqua/S. DeMell)
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
Hey now, it's going all the way to true, true love
(Ned Washington/Leigh Harline)
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
There are no strings on me
(R. Miller/W. O'Malley/A. Vandenberg)
Money isn't everything
As 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
Yes
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 wealthyHe 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 chic we are
He bought New Jersey
So he could call me his girl
Oh, man, a feat we are!
Chocolate excites my tummy
Ooh
He bought me a firm called Yummy
So
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
Yeah!
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)
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 liveI'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 pass us by

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, yeahUp 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
Can I get a witness
(Richards/R. Dean Taylor)
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 youAll 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
Lost beyond recall

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?

This Old Heart of Mine (Is Weak for You)
(B. Holland/L. Dozier/E. Holland, Jr./Sylvia Moy)
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
I love you, this old heart, darling, weak for you.
(L. Hazelwood)
You keep saying

And one of these days these boots

One of these days these boots
Are gonna walk all over you

You ain't got time to learn
These boots are made for walking
And that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots
Are gonna walk all over you
Are you ready boots?
Try to walk
(B. Holland/L. Dozier/E. Holland, Jr.)
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 strangerSomebody 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
And wake me when it's over
(B. Holland/L. Dozier/E. Holland, Jr./F.Thorton)
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 abovePut 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
Put yourself in my place
(W. Robinson)
I never met a boy who makes me feel
The way that you do (You're alright)
Whenever I'm asked who makes my dreams real
I say that you do (You're outta sight)
So fee fi fo fum
Look out baby
'Cause here I come
And I'm bringing you a love that's true
So get ready
Get ready
I'm gonna try to make love to you
So get ready
Get ready, here I come
I'm on my way
If you wanna play hide and seek with love
Let me remind you (It's alright)
The loving you're gonna miss and the time
It takes to find you (It's outta sight)
So fiddleleedee fiddlelee dum
Look out baby
'Cause here I comeAnd I'm bringing you a love that's true
So get ready
Get ready
I'm gonna try to make love to you
So get ready
Get ready, here I come
I'm on my way
All my friends shouldn't want me to
I understand it (We'll be alright)
I hope I'll get to you before they do
The way I find you (Be outta sight)
So twiddledeedee twiddleddedum
Look out baby
'Cause here I come
And I'm bringing you a love that's true
So get ready
Get ready
I'm gonna try to make love to you
So get ready
Get ready, here I come
I'm on my way
(B. Gentry)
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
And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge
(William ";Smokey"; Robinson/W. Moore)
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 thatHeartaches, 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
Misery makes my heart its home
Second paragraph:
Suddenly, my world stood still.
My life was then fulfilled
As you gently touched my hand
I knew that we had layed a plan
For everlasting love
That I've been forever dreaming of
Fifth paragraph:Darling
Ooh, my darling
Make me yours
Let your kiss touch my face
And tell me love has led me
Into this place, to your warm embrace
And our happiness
Thanks to you, my search has ended
And I want the world to se
How gently love has shined on me
With everlasting love
That I've been forever dreaming of
(Brenda Holloway-Patrice Holloway)
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-bah-bah-bah
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-bah-bah-bah.
You don't hold me in your arms the way you did
When you were so much in love with me
I recall the time when you were all mine
And I didn't have to share your love with anyone.
And when I feel I wanna be with you
And I can't right then, it almost drives me insane
'Cause you're the only one who can easy my mind
'Cause you're the reason of all of my hurt and all of my pain.
When I guess my world was made believe
'Cause I thought I can have your love all to myself
And there's nothing I can do 'cause you're gonna do
What you wanna do anyhow, anyway.
But loving you is blinding me so
I still hold on to every hope and every dream
While deep inside I feel the tide is about to turn
And you won't find me hanging around you anymore.
But keep this in mind for the end of time
You're gonna want me more than I want you now
Ooo, it's gonna be a shame, hate to see you that way
I know how it feels 'cause I'm on that cloud today.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)
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 missTo 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
Keep a loving him more each day
(Brian Holland/Janie Bradford/Lamont Dozier)
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 nameAnd 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
It's so funny how I want you
(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)
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 yourselfBaby, 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
You ain't livin'
(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)
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 friendKeep 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
You better watch out for your close friend
(Renee Tener/Ivy Jo Hunter/Berry Gordy, Jr./Gwen Fuqua)
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
As long as I know you're here with me
(Frank Wilson/Pam Sawyer)
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' thereHow 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
Right now
(Deke Richards/D. Dean/Janie Bradford)

Oooh...Sunny boy

You've done me boy
'Cause when I'm feeling alone
You give me plenty joy
Into each lives some rain must fall
But with you here
There's no rain at all

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 understandAnd 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
Does she know just what I am
(Johnny Bristol/Harvey Fuqua/George Beauchamp)
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 insaneI 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
Chains

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
We think you're just sensational Mame
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 fall 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 walked up to the happening.
So sure, I felt secure, until love took a detour
Cause when you got a tender love you don-t
Take care of, then you better beware of the happening.
(Beatrice Verdi/William ";Smokey"; Robinson/Warren Moore)
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
He'll come my way
(Burt Bacharach/Hal David)
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

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
I am everyday people
(Burt Bacharach/Hal David)

Come on Supremes, let's sing that song!
I'm having a real good time
Dancing the night away
But when the music stops
You're gonna hear me say
Coca Cola, Coca Cola
Things go better with Coca Cola, things go better with Coke
The real live one puts extra fun, in you and me and everyone
Things go better with Coca Cola, things go better with Coke
Ooh, these bubbles thickle, can I have another glass of coke?
And a little more ice.
Now that we had a break
Giving the people rest
Put some more records on
Now that we feel refreshed
From Coca Cola, Coca Cola, Coca Cola, Coca Cola
Food goes better with, fun goes better with
You go better with Coca Cola
Things go better with Coca Cola, things go better with Coke
(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)

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 IWhat 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
Oh, so wonderful, my love
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr./James Dean)
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
Can't bear to lose him
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)
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 sometimesI 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!
Yeah, knows what I'm going through
(Jule Styne/Bob Merrill)
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
His is the only music that makes me dance
(Jule Styne/Bob Merrill)
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 meSadie, 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
I'm Sadie, Sadie married lady that's me
(Jule Styne/Bob Merrill)
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 starWho 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
Are the luckiest people in the world
(Jule Styne/Bob Merrill)
Don't tell me not to fly
I've simply got to
If someone takes a spill
It's me and not you
Don't bring around the cloud to rain on my parade
Don't tell me not to leave
Just sit and putter
Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter
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 itBut whether I'm the rose of sheer perfection
A freckle on the nose of life's complexion
A Cinderella or a shine apple of an eye
I gotta fly once
I gotta try once
Only can die once, right, sir?
Ooh, life 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 the cloud to rain on my parade
Yes, sir
No, sir
I'm gonna live and live now
Get what I want, I know how
All that the law will allow
One roll for the whole shebang
One throw that bell will go clang
Though I'm alone I'm a gang
Eye on the target and wham
One shot, one gun shot and bam
Hey, world, here I am...
Get ready for me life, 'cause I'm a ";comer";
I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer
Nobody, no, nobody, is gonna rain on my parade!
(Jule Styne/Bob Merrill)
Wa wa wa?
Is that all you can say?
The lady ain't been born
Can't take the place of a horn
With the cornet man
I'll go on with this blowing
Traveling cornet man
Just anytime they call him
He leaves his wife and kiddies
Sitting with their tongues out
To play for peanuts in some dive
And blow his lungs out
He'll hop the choo-choo on the moon
It's noticed to play somedays with Billy Bates
A ragtime oldies
The lady ain't see light
Can't give a home a fair fight
With that cornet man
A rutting shooten
A never tooten dapadam
Who carries in his schedule
Upon the blue North folks suit
A silver plated wow, wow muteThere is drinking, gambling
Each one a curse
But I'm over against
A devil that's worse
Yeah, a horn is my thorn
He's the traveling cornet man
He's gotta go
Up on the road
He's got some dates
That Millie hates
He leaves his notice
On ragtime oldies
He's gotta go
Back on the road
The lady ain't see light
Can't give a home a fair a fight
With that cornet man
A rutting shooten
A never tooten dapadam
Who carries in his schedule
Upon the blue North folks suit
Silver plated wow, wow mute
There is drinking, gambling
Each one is a curse
But I'm over against
A devil that's worse
Yeah, a horn is my thorn
He's the traveling cornet man
Say it again!
Upon the blue North folks suit
A silver plated wow, wow mute
He's shy on height
He's short on weight
But he's the only man
Can make my coffee percolate
I never dare
My cornet player man...
(C. Porter)
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 meIt'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
It's all right with me
(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart)
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
Falling in love with love
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just to good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
Pardon the way that I stare
There's nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it's real
You're just to good to be true
And my baby
Can't take my eyes off of you
I love you baby
And if it's quite all right
I need you baby
To warm the lonely night

(J. Bristol/H. Fuqua/M. Johnson)
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 eyesI'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
I'm satisfied yeah
(J. Goga/W. Fields/I. Hunter)
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 societyOnce 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
Light my way
(Paul McCartney/John Lennon)
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
Oh, you can't do that
(Berry Gordy)

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 painTime 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
'Cause night is day and day is night
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)
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' onYou 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
You just keep me hangin' on...
(B. Holland/L. Dozier/E. Holland, Jr.)
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
It's a game of give and take
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)
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 awayBut 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
And when he placed a kiss upon my face
(William ";Smokey"; Robinson)
You may not 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 hearsNow 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
You put a song in my heart
(Richard Rodgers/LorentzHart)
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 chairsI'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
As our blue room far away upstairs
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland,Jr.)
Let's stop and rock with the swinging Supremes
Ooh, I dig your style
The way you smile
Let's have a coke and talk a while
You'll go better with

Things go better with Coca-Cola
Things go better with Coke
The real live one will put some fun
In you and me and everyoneThings go better with Coca-Cola
Things go better with Coke
Want another, honey?
Another Coke?
Ooh, it's so good
Refreshing good
Helps you feel just like you should
You'll go better with
I'll go better with
We'll go better with Coke
The real live one will put some fun
In you and me and everyone
Things go better with Coca-Cola
Things go better with Coke

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
Ooh, think it over baby...
(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)
Some things you never get used to
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 like having you
I'll never get used toI've gotten used to not listing
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 cloud
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
I'll never get used to
(Harvey Fuqua/Alan Freed)

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
Hapiness 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 waisted
(All the tears) All the tears
That I've taisted
All in vainThrough 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 promisses
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
My world has turned to dust...
(Berry Gordy/Henry Cosby)
Capricorn, Scorpio, Taurus, Gemini, Virgo, Cancer,
Pisces, Leo, Libra, Aries, Aquarius, Sagittarius
The moon shines bright above
But the charts declare
It's not my night for love
Ah, deep in my heart
I feel a good vibrations saying
";You and me, babe, would make a good combination";
There's no need in looking to the skies
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 loveYour 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
No matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are
I need you beside me, love
Only you can guide my love
Capricorn, Scorpio, Taurus, Gemini, Virgo,
Cancer, Pisces, Leo, Libra, Aries
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
Yes, you are
Hold me, boy
No matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are
(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart)
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 joyWe'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
We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy
(B. Holland/L. Dozier/E. Holland, Jr.)
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 itLove 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
I've been bitten by the love bug...
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)
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 felt
So unaware of the loneliness
That was waiting there
You close 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 awayYou 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
Now you're gone
(Broadnax/Wonder/Paul)
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, yeahWe'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
It's just a little misunderstanding
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland,Jr.)
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 ofKeep 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
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
Keep falling in and out of love...
(Pam Sawyer/R. Dean Taylor/Frank Wilson/Berry Gordy/Henry Cosby)
Mom was cooking bread
She wore a dirty raggety 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 for my uptown friends to 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 momma 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 a grandson, two years old
That I never even showed her
I'm living in shame
Momma I miss you
I know you're not to blame
Momma I miss you
Came a telegram
Momma passed away while making homemade jam
Before she died, she cried to see me by her side
She always did her best
Ah, cooking, cleaning, always in the same old dress
Working hard down on her knees
Always trying to please
Momma, momma, momma can you hear me?
Momma, momma, momma can you hear me?
I'm living in shame, momma I miss you
I know you've done you're best
Momma I miss you
Won't you forgive me mom?
For all the wrong I've done
I know you've done your best
Oh, I know you've done your very best you could
But I'm never understood
Working hard down on her knees...
(Ken Gamble/Jerry Ross/Jerry Williams)
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

I'm gonna shower you
With love and affection
Look out, it's comin' in your direction
And I'm

Oh, 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 youI'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
Yes I will

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 babyBaby, 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 seem 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 rap so dy 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
A tender melody
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/EdwardHolland, Jr.)
I've cried through many endless nights
While holding my pillow tight
Then you came into my lonely days
With your tender and your 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 my sadness
So long I've needed love right near me
A soft voice to cheer me
Heaven must have sent you, baby
Into my life
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
when I needed you the mostNow I don't know much about you, baby
But I can't live without you, baby
Heaven must have sent you, baby
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
when I needed you the most
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

I've been crying
'Cause I'm lonely (for you)
Smiles have all turned to tears
But tears won't wash away the fears
That you're never ever gonna return
To ease the fire that within me burns
It keeps me crying baby for you
Keeps me sighin' baby for you
So won't you hurry ?
Come on boy, see about me
(Come see about me)
See about you baby

Keep on, keep on crying baby for you
So won't you hurry

Come on to the beach ball with me
Come on, come on
Come on to the beach ball with me
Come on, come on
Come on to the beach ball with me
