(Gerry Goffin / Carole King)
I don't wanna go to the party with you
I don't wanna go to the dance
I don't wanna go anywhere with you
I just wanna stay here and love you
(Oh........oh........)
Now that I can be alone with you
I won't throw away the chance
There's no other place like home with you
I just wanna stay here and love you
(Oh........Oh........)
All through the week
I miss you so
But, now that I've got you
I'm gonna hold you closer and closer and closer
(Oh........Oh........), ooh, ooh, oh
I don't wanna go out walking with you
And now that I am in this trance
I don't even know if I'll talk to you
I just wanna stay here and (I wanna love you, I wanna love you, I......)
I just wanna stay here and love you
I wanna stay here and love you
Yes, I wanna stay here and love you
Just wanna stay here and love you, ooh-ho, baby, baby
I wanna stay here and love you
Yes, I wanna stay here and love you
(S. Tyrell / S. Tyrell / C. Townes)
Hey boy, don't be shy
Waiting all alone
Think about what you can give
Some boys never learn
That's the way to live
And it's the secret
To getting it right
Living carefully, always filled with doubt
Scared to make a move too soon
Just once, take a chance
She will take one, too
'Cause that's the secret
To getting it right
It's not who loves you as how much do you love
And what's in your heart that shows what you're made of
You're made of love, hey, boy
It's all right
Someone understands
You don't have so far to go
Reach out for her hand
Then you'll really know
The secret to getting it right
You're made of love, hey, boy
It's all right
Someone understands
You don't have so far to go
Reach out for her hand
Then you'll really know
The secret to getting it right
Reach out, take her hand
Then you'll really know
You'll know that you're getting it right
Yes, you'll know that you're getting it right
(Geoffrey Williams and Simon Stirling)
Some people know what they wanna be
Some people see what they wanna see
Everyday needs some kind of dream
But the complexities of life escape to an ideal scene, yeah
People try to tell you how to live your life
Let the blind lead the blind
Well, that's all right
So make up your mind
The fool or the wise
There are things in this life
Which you can't compromise
Break away
And take the time to know your mind
And leave it all behind you
And say
That's the way I am
Yeah - I was born this way
Can't you see it in my eyes
Yeah, heah, heah
Oh, I was born this way
Can't you feel it in your heart
Yeah, heah, heah, oh
It's not always easy to disagree
Don't make excuses for what you see
There's one thing in life
I have no doubt
You're on the way up
On the way out, baby, oh
Some people see what's gonna be
But they hide in a corner
From reality
Sometimes you're up
And sometimes you're down
You can't spend your whole life
Just fooling around
Break away
And take the time to break the ties
And leave it all behind you and say
That's the way I am
Yeah - I was born this way
Can't you see it in my eyes
Yeah, heah, heah
Oh, I was born this way
Can't you feel it in your heart and say
Yeah, heah, heah, oh
In this world
There's a love that's unspoken
Letting go
Reaching out
Then it's time to search your heart
And stop, it's you
Learn to love yourself
Respect yourself
Say - that's the way I am
Say, I was born this way
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah - I was born this way
Can't you see it in my eyes?
Yeah, heah, heah
Oh, I was born this way
Can't you feel it in your hearts and say
Yeah, heah, heah, oh
The fool or the wise
So open your eyes
And say yeah, heah, heah
Yeah - say it loud and clear
And say yeah, heah, heah
I was born this way, oh, oh, oh
Say yeah, heah, heah
I was born this way
Born this way
So say, so say, yeah
I said yeah
(Rupert Hine / Jeannette Obstoj)
What is this strange elation?
Taking my train of thought to an unknown destination
And suddenly I don't know where I am
But like a tremor or a spark
Something's happening in my heart
I've been arrested by you
Take me in, oh, oh, oh
Finally captured by you, by you and by you
Take me in
I've been arrested by you
Take me in, oh, oh, oh
Finally captured by you, by you and by you
Take me in
You've broken my concentration
Saving me just in time from a desperate situation
And suddenly, I don't know who I am
But my dilemma's where to start
Something's happening in my heart
I've been arrested by you
Take me in, oh, oh, oh
Finally captured by you, by you and by you
Take me in
I've been arrested by you
Take me in, oh, oh, oh
Finally captured by you, by you and by you
Take me in
I've been arrested by you
Take me in, oh, oh, oh
Finally captured by you, by you and by you
Take me in
I've been arrested by you
Take me in, oh
Finally captured by you, oh, oh
Take me in
I've been captured, captured, captured, captured
Oh, baby
Oh, ho,
Take me baby
(Rodgers / Ahlert)
Why am I chained to a memory?
Why does the thought of you still torture me?
When will I find someone to set me free?
So I won't be chained to a memory, mmm
Why am I chained to the hurt I knew?
Each day the thought of something so cruel to do
Where in this world will I escape from you?
So I won't be chained to a memory
Your letters threw them on the fire
Your pictures out the window
All that I could find that reminded me of you
I threw them all away
I get up in the morning
I'm pacing the floor
Like I'm expecting you to walk in the door
I keep forgetting I won't see you anymore
Guess I'm doomed to be chained to a memory
Oh, yes I am
I get up in the morning
I'm pacing the floor
Like I'm expecting you to walk in the door
I keep forgetting I won't see you anymore
Guess I'm doomed to be chained to a memory
(Dianne Warren)
I couldn't see paradise right before my eyes
When I had you here by my side
I didn't know that no-one else
Could ever take your place
But, now I know
I know that I should have stayed
And seeing you tonight
I only wonder why
I ever said goodbye
Any other fool would never walk away
Even a fool would still be there
Holding you
Any other fool would know I never
Should have let you go
I had it all as any fool could see
Any other fool but me, oh, ahh, oh
Anyone else never would have let the feeling die
Anyone else would have fought to keep it alive
If they were in my shoes
They'd know the love we had
Was love too good to lose
Any other fool would never walk away
Even a fool would still be there
Holding you
Oh, any other fool would know
I never should have let you go
I had it all when you were loving me
I had it all as any fool could see
Any other fool but me, oh, oh, oh
I had it all when you were loving me
I had it all as any fool could see
Any other fool but me
Any other fool would never walk away
Even a fool would still be there
Holding you
Oh, any other fool would know
Never should have let you go
Had it all as any fool could see
Any other fool but me
Oh, oh, oh
Even a fool would still be there holding you
Any other fool would know
I never should have let you go
(Ivor Raymonde / Mike Hawker)
I wanted you so
Wanted you to hold me tight
Take my love and treat me right
I needed your love so
But you're just the hurtin' kind
Nearly drove me out of my mind
Your hurtin' kinda love
Your hurtin' kinda love, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It left me crying
I'd never been blue
I never had to cry all day
Tryin' to wash the hurt away
But then I fell for you
Giving you the love I had
Just to have you treat me so bad
Your hurtin' kinda love
Your hurtin' kinda love, oh, oh, oh, oh
It left me crying
So, now you're with another love
It just may be your lover
Could be the one to do what you have
Done to me, yeah
I want you to know
Even though you broke my heart
I can make a brand new start
I'm so glad to see you go
You will bring me no more pain
I will never cry again
Your hurtin' kinda love
Your hurtin' kinda love, oh, oh
It's over, baby, yeah
Your hurtin' kinda love
Your hurtin' kinda love
Come on baby, take this hurt off me, yeah
Come on baby, take this hurt off me, yeah
(John Maldara / David White)
You don't own me
I'm not just one of your many toys
You don't own me
Don't say I can't go with other boys
And don't tell me what to do
And don't tell me what to say
And, please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display
'Cause, you don't own me
Don't try to change me in any way
You don't own me
Don't tie me down
'Cause I'll never stay
I don't tell you what to say
I don't tell you what to do
So, just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you
I'm young and I love to be young
I'm free and I love to be free
To live my life the way that I want
To say and do whatever I please
And, don't tell me what to do, yeah
Don't, don't you tell me what to say
And, please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display
I don't tell you what to say
I don't tell you what to do
So, just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you
I'm young and I love to be young
I'm free and I love to be free
To live my life the way that I want
(Holland / Dozier / Holland)
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
Not a word did he say
He just stood there kind of bored
What am I acting for?
When the lovelight starts shining through his eyes
Made me realise I should apologise
And when he placed a kiss upon my face
Then I knew, oh baby I knew
That he'd won my heart
So I quickly apologised
Hopin' he hadn't changed his mind
Not a word did he say
So I turned to walk away
When the lovelight starts shining through his eyes
Made me realise all he felt inside
And when he placed a kiss upon my lips
Then I knew, oh baby I knew
That he'd won my heart, oh yeah
Then he asked could he walk my way
I hoped sweet things he'd say
Then he smiled a-kind of nice
As he held my hand kind of tight
When the lovelight starts shining through his eyes
Made me realise all he felt inside
And when he placed a kiss upon my face
Then I knew, oh baby I knew
A-that he'd won my heart, oh yeah
When the lovelight starts shining through his eyes
Made me realise all I felt inside
And when he placed a kiss upon my face
Then I knew, oh, baby, I knew
A-that he'd won my heart, oh yeah
(Gerry Goffin / Arthur Kornfield / Toni Wine)
(Now that you're my baby)
(Now that you're my baby)
You're never gonna run around
Or see that girl who lives up town
I'll be trying everyday
To keep you happy in every way
So you won't ever want to run around
Now that you're my baby
You can kiss your playboy days goodbye
You're gonna be a different guy
From now on you're gonna be
Spending all your time with me
So you can kiss your playboy days goodbye
Now that you're my baby
I can give you all the loving
You've been searching for
I love you
Always dreaming of you
You ain't gonna run around no more
No, no, no, no more
Baby, I can give to you
A love that's good and oh-so true
So, you can throw your little black book away
Now that you're my baby
I can give you all the loving
You've been searching for
I love you
Always dreaming of you
You ain't gonna run around no more
You can throw your little black book away
You'll be my man starting today
Baby, I can give to you
A love that's good and oh-so true
So you can throw your little black book away
Now that you're my baby
Gonna be a different guy
You're gonna kiss those days goodbye
(Elvis Costello)
Layin' about, lying in bed
Maybe it was somethin' I thought I said
With the tempo of the damned, the temptation of tomorrow
I don't know if I can give you anything but sorrow
They stay alive this late on Radio Five
But the pen that I write with won't tell the truth
But the moments that I care about are moments that I treasure
Better take another measure for pleasure
Losing you
Is just a memory
Memories don't mean that much to me
Losing you
Is just a memory
Memories don't mean that much to me
I count the pages of the letter I write
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine
Tearin' up the sheets of love this hand could not disguise
I'll start to count again and close my eyes
Losing you
Is just a memory
Memories don't mean that much to me
Losing you
Is just a memory
Memories don't mean that much to me
Now you're here
I'm here too
Can be this easy for me and you
Now you're here
I'm here too
Be this easy for me and you
Losing you
Is just a memory
Memories don't mean that much to me
Losing you
Is just a memory
Memories don't mean that much to me
Layin' about, lying in bed
Could be something that I thought I said
(R. Alfred / W. Farrell)
Baby, if wishes could be kisses
And dreams could make you mine
I wouldn't be a-sitting here
Wasting all this time
No, no, baby, if you call me
I'd race down the street
I'd be there so fast
You'd think I had wings on my feet
Oh, baby, if wishes could be kisses
I'd wish with all my mind
I wouldn't have to make believe
I'm in your arms tonight
No, no, baby
I could thrill you if you'd let me try
We'd take off together
And we'd tell this world goodbye
But I know it just can't be
Unless you feel the same as me, oh, yeah-heah
Baby, if wishes could be kisses
Then I'd be first in line
If I'm not wrong it won't take long
'Til you're my valentine
Oh, oh, baby, if you hear me
Make me know you do
If I'm lucky I'll find out
That you've been wishing too
A-come on, baby
A-come on, baby
If wishes could be kisses, oh, yeah
Oh, if wishes could be
Woah, baby, if you hear me
Make me know you do
If I'm lucky I'll find out
That you've been wishing too
A-come on, baby
Woah, come on, baby
If wishes could be kisses, now, yeah
(Gerry Goffin / Carole King)
Yeah, I will love you for a while
Just how long I cannot say
Long before love grows old
I'll be on my way
While there's fire in your eyes
I will hold you to my heart
Oh, but when the fire dies
We will have to part
Love is strange
While now it makes us glad
When our love's no longer new
It'll make us sad, yeah
So, I will love you for a while
More than that I will not tell
When I leave you
You will say that I loved too well
Yeah, love is strange
While now it makes us glad
When our love's no longer new
It'll make us sad, yeah
So, I will love you for a while
More than that I will not tell
And when I leave you
You will say that I loved too well
Say that I loved too well, boy
Say that I loved too well, yeah
Say that I loved too well-ell
Say that I loved too well, child
(S. Simoni / U. Bindi / English Lyrics : Unknown)
Don't go
There's so much left to tell you
You just don't know how need you
I never said how I cared
Until now that you're leaving
I can't hide what I'm feeling
Please wait, there's so much left to tell you
I never said how I loved you
Oh, can't you stay one more day?
And I'll try to show all of the love
That I used to keep from you
Words alone can't make you love me
But how else am I to say to you
That I know I will always want you?
Help me, I can't stop myself crying
Help me, 'cause I feel like I'm dying
Please can't you stay with me?
'Cause I can't live without you, my love
Words alone can't make you love me
But how else am I to say to you
That I know I will always want you?, oh, oh, oh, oh
So, help me, I can't stop myself crying
Help me 'cause I feel like I'm dying
Please can't you stay with me?
(C. Weil / R.Tietelman)
What a nice party
And I know just why I'm feeling so new
'Cause I came along and I found you
I wanna make you happy tonight
I wanna make you happy tonight
It's just like magic
Dancing with you
While we're sharing a kiss
Oh, I've been in love
But never, no never, like this
I wanna make you happy tonight
I wanna make you happy tonight and every day I live, yeah
I wanna give you all I have to give
Oh, I wanna make you so happy, yeah, oh
Yes, I've been in love
But never, no never, like this
I wanna make you happy tonight
I wanna make you so happy, child
Come on, I wanna make you so
(J. Kookoolis / S. Trimachi)
Here she comes
A girl who has everything
Here she comes
A girl who wants something from me
A spoiled girl who thinks nothing of
Of breaking up two people in love
Here she comes
Look at a-her
No shame how she carries on
Look at a-him, now
Just think of it, he'll soon be gone
Lost in the arms of what money could buy
Gee, I hope she can't buy my guy
'Cause I love him
Ooh, you can tell just at a glance
Next to her a poor girl has no chance
She's the kind who knows how to live
And she knows I only have my love to give, oh, oh
Look at a-them
I guess I should walk away
Oh, look at me now
I won't let 'em see my cryin' this way
Just then I heard him calling me
I turned around and looked and see
He was running, running after me
Oh, he loves me, yes, he loves me, oh, oh
There she goes
Well, he's running after me now
There she goes
I'm the only one he loves now
There she goes
(Samwell / Lynch)
He's got something
I don't know what but it's grand
I can feel it each time he touches my hand
When we walk
When we talk
Yeah
I feel so fine
He's got something
And it's mine, all mine
He's got something
I feel it each time we kiss
And he thrills me
Each time he holds me like this
When we part
Breaks my heart
I miss him so
He's got something
Only lovers know
He's got something
It's so fine
He's got something
Mine, all mine
He's got something
I miss him so
He's got something
Only lovers know
Yeah
He's got something
I don't know what but it's grand
I can feel it each time he touches my hand
When we walk
When we talk
Yeah
I feel so fine
He's got something
And it's mine, all mine
When we part
Breaks my heart
Yeah
I miss him so
He's got something
Only lovers know
(Madeline Bell / Dusty Springfield)
If you're gonna break my heart
Go ahead on
Guess you think you're kinda smart
Go ahead on
(Well you've got another girl)
And you're having fun
(Got her head in a whirl)
See what you've done
Go ahead on
(Go ahead on)
I said go ahead on
(Go ahead on)
You never call me on the 'phone
Make me so sad
Sittin' all alone
Feelin' bad
(Tired of being your fool)
'Cause you told me lies
(I can't take no more)
Of no alibi
Go ahead on
(Go ahead on)
Go ahead on
(Go ahead on)
For a little while
We had a good thing goin'
Everything was peaches and cream
But the devil in you started showin'
Do you understand now
What I mean?
You put me down
Every night
If you wanna be a clown
That's all right
(When it's all too late)
Then you'll see
(She's done the same to you)
Like you did it to me
Go ahead on
(Go ahead on)
Go ahead on
(Go ahead on)
You put me down
Every night
If you wanna be a clown
That's all right
(When it's all too late)
Baby you'll see
(She's done the same to you)
Like you did it to me
Go ahead on
(Go ahead on)
Go ahead on
(Go ahead on)
Git, git, git
(Go ahead on)
Go ahead on
(Go ahead on)
You'd better pack your bag
(Go ahead on)
Go ahead on
(Go ahead on)
Bye, bye, bye
(Go ahead on)
Go ahead on
(Aretha Franklin / Ted White)
If I lose this dream
I don't know what I'm gonna do
If I lose this dream
I'm dreaming about for me and you
If it goes away
I might as well hang it up
'Cause I don't know
If I have the heart or mind
To make it true
Or help it grow
And I only know, I only know, I only know
If I lose this dream
It's goodbye love and happiness, yes
You're the one I need
I don't want a love
That's second best
There've been all of my life
I wanted to do
That made me blue
Help me hold onto this dream
For sometimes dreams often come true
And they all come true, they all come true
For me and you
Wait a minute baby
Don't let me lose this dream
Baby, baby hold on
Don't let me lose my dream, no
Baby, baby be strong
You say that a-you believe that what I say is true
And that I'm the one and only girl for you
Just tell me
That no matter what the people say
You're in my corner all the way
And I won't lose this dream
Baby, baby hold on
Don't let me lose my dream, no
Baby, baby be strong
Don't let me lose this dream
Baby, baby hold on
Don't let me lose, lose my dream
Baby, baby hold on
Don't let me, ooh baby
(Burt Bacharach / Hal David)
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me
They long to be close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me
They long to be close to you
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair
And golden starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me
They long to be close you you
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair
And golden starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me
They long to be close you
Oh, just like me
They long to be close to you
Baby, baby, baby
(Martin / Trader)
I've been trying
To make you love me
But everything I try
Just takes you further from me
You don't love me, oh no
So you treat me cruel
But no matter how you hurt me
I'll always be your fool
But if you don't want me forever
And if you don't need me forever
And if you can't love me forever
Take me for a little while
So I can hold you, baby
So I can make you want me
I gotta stop it
There should be a law
'Cause everytime you put me down
I love you more
And I feel so helpless
And it ain't funny
'Cause deep down inside I know
You're never gonna love me
But if you don't want me forever
And if you don't need me forever
And if you can't love me forever
Take me for a little while
So I can hold you, baby
So I can make you want me
I got to have you baby
Don't you know anyway you want me I'm yours
Won't you have me baby?
Anyway you want me I'm yours
(Bobby Hebb)
Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain
Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain
Oh, the dark days are done
The bright days are here
My sunny one shines so sincere
Sunny one so true
I love you
Sunny, thank you for that sunshine bouquet
Sunny, thank you for the love you brought my way
You gave to me your all and all
Now I feel ten feet tall
Sunny one so true
I love you
Sunny, thank you for the truth you let me see
Sunny, thank you for the facts from A to Z
My life was torn like windblown sand
And then a rock was formed when we held hands
Sunny one so true
I love you
Sunny, thank for that smile upon your face
Sunny, thank you for that gleam that flows with grace
You're my spark of nature's fire
You're my sweet complete desire
Sunny one so true
I love you
Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain
Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain
The dark days are done
The bright days are here
My sunny one shines so sincere
Sunny one so true
Sunny one so true
Sunny one so true
(Arnold Goland / Aaron. H. Schroeder)
Am I just a small town girl
With big town dreams
That won't come true?
Thinking everything that means anything to me
Means something to you, too?
Am I just a small town girl?
Hey, big town boy
Don't let me down
You know I got it real bad
I gotta make good somehow
'Cause that's all they're saying now
(She's a small town girl with big town dreams)
(Big town dreams that never will come true)
Yeah, I'm just a small town girl with big town dreams
But, just you wait
I'll make 'em all come true, yes I will
Oh, take this little small town girl, yeah
In your arms and hold her tight
Make her life start tonight, yeah, yeah, yeah
Come on and take this little small town girl
With big town dreams that won't come true
Come on and make her dreams
'Cause she loves you
Come on now, big town boy
Come on, don't let her down
You gotta fill my heart
(Matraca Berg / Ronnie Samoset)
I see you standing there
Outside the windows of my heart
So cold and shivering
There in your world that is so dark
I wish that I could set you free
From all your insecurities
But you threw away the key
When you locked the door
I tried to love you
I tried to keep you from harm
But I might as well be
Holding the wind in my arms
Oh, I can't give you shelter
When you are the storm
There is a wind tonight
That blows and chills me to the bone
Here by the fireside
Even the heat can't keep me warm
I'm haunted by your troubled soul
That rages out of control
I had to let you go
Had to let you go
I tried to love you
I tried to keep you from harm
But I might as well be
Holding the wind in my arms
Oh, I can't give you shelter
When you are the storm
Sometimes I lie here and wonder
If you'll ever change
Then I hear the lightning and thunder
Oh, and the rain
Oh, I tried to love you
And I tried to keep you from harm
But I might as well be
Holding the wind in my arms
Oh, I can't give you shelter
You are the storm
Oh, I can't give you shelter
You are the storm
(Will Jennings / Martee Lebow)
Everyday when I look in the mirror
I try to see where my soul's at now
Happy day - is it further or nearer?
On the way, will I find it somehow?
Yesterday's gone
Love lead me on, oh
I won't ask why
Roll away - it's only time and the river
Roll away - to the endless sea
Roll away - it could all change tomorrow
This is life in it's glory
And the river runs free
Roll away
My dreams build the walls of the city
Broken hearts tear them all down
It ain't always easy and pretty
It's just the world turning around
Give us this day
Give us this night, oh
It'll be all right
Roll away - it's only time and the river
Roll away - to the endless sea
Roll away - it could all change tomorrow
This is life in it's glory
And the river runs free
Oh, roll away
Everyday when I look in the mirror
I try to see where my soul's at now
Roll away - it's only time and the river
Roll away - to the endless sea
Roll away - it could all change tomorrow
This is life in it's glory
And the river runs free
Roll away - it's only time and the river
Roll away - to the endless sea
Roll away - it could all change tomorrow
This is life in it's glory
And the river runs free
Roll away, ahh, oh
(Graham Lyle / Terry Britten)
It's my decision
You look my way
With innocent expression
Just as if to say
It would be easy
The mood is right
Forget for just one moment
Who we are tonight
I start
To weaken the music's strong
My conscience speaks, I know it's wrong
Give it up
Remember what you said
This kind of loving doesn't happen everyday
Give it up
That's the way it starts
Discover old habits die hard
Temptation makes a fool out of us all
I made my mind up
It had to end
So why this indecision?
When you're close again
Oh, the thought's appealing
I can't deny
With those old memories stealing
Back across my mind
I thought by now that the flame had gone
I realise that I'm still holding on
Give it up
Remember what you said
This kind of loving doesn't happen everyday, no
Give it up
That's the way it starts
Discover old habits die hard
Temptation makes a fool out of us all, ooh, ooh, ooh
I'll just keep holding on
It's easier said than done
(Old habits die hard)
Give it up
Remember what you said
This kind of loving doesn't happen everyday, no
Give it up
That's the way it starts
Discover old habits die hard
Give it up
Remember what you said
This kind of loving doesn't happen everyday, no
Give it up
That's the way it starts
Discover old habits die hard
Give it up
Remember what you said
This kind of loving doesn't happen everyday
Give it up
That's the way it starts
(Tom Shapiro / Chris Waters / Michael Garvin)
You want me to say I love you too
There's nothing in the world I'd rather do
You will never know how hard I've tried
But I can't change the way I feel inside
It's nothing that you did or haven't done
Who knows what makes somebody love someone?
I wish that's the way that we could be
But love is up to love and not to me
I can't help the way that I don't feel
Take what isn't there and make it real
You're where I should be going
But my heart is at the wheel
And I can't help the way that I don't feel
It's nothing that you did or haven't done
Who knows what makes somebody love someone?
I wish that's the way that we could be
But love is up to love and not to me
I can't help the way that I don't feel
Take what isn't there and make it real
You're where I should be going
But my heart is at the wheel
And I can't help the way that I don't feel, oh
I can't help the way that I don't feel
Take what isn't there and make it real
You're where I should be going
But my heart is at the wheel
And I can't help the way, the way that I don't feel, oh, oh
(John Jarvis & Randy Goodrum)
I hear you baby, I know how you feel
We're both hungry for something that's real
Be honest with me or don't even try
'Cause I can't afford another goodbye
Go easy on me, baby, not too rough
If this is right, there's no need to rush
Oh, go easy on me, if you don't mind
'Cause I can't afford to lose another time
Starting over isn't easy as it sounds
When you try to make the pieces fit
They all fall down
And I need more than someone to hold on to
I need a love that's tried and true
It's what I'm searching for
It's worth waiting for
Talk gently to me, nice and low
If you mean it, baby, my heart will know
Oh, go easy on me, like walking on ice
'Cause forever happens once not twice
Starting over isn't easy as it sounds
When you try to make the pieces fit
They all fall down
And I need more than someone to hold on to
I need a love that's tried and true
It's what I'm looking for
It's worth waiting for
Go easy on me, baby, not too rough
If this is right, we'll know soon enough
Oh, go easy on me, not too fast
I gotta believe that what's between us
Can be more than just a promise
'Cause they don't last
So all that I ask
Go easy on me
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
(Craig Wiseman)
If all you want's a good time, baby
There's a party down the street
If you're trying to fight an old flame
Well, I can't take the heat
If you're looking for a game to play
Well, I wish you luck
'Cause all I have to offer you is love
If you only want a keeper darling
I don't hold the key
If you're searching for a saviour better
Get down on your knees
If you're looking for the answers, well
Hell I don't know that much
'Cause all I have to offer you is love
Oh darling, there's a whole lot of things
I've found that I just can't be, no I can't
But if you're looking for a real love, baby
I've got all that you'll ever need
It might be more than you're after
Or not nearly enough
But all I have to offer you is love
Oh darling, there's a whole lot of things
I've found I just can't be
But if you're looking for a real love, baby
I've got all that you'll ever need
It might be more than you're after
Or not nearly enough, ahh
But all I have to offer you is love
Sweet love, baby
'Cause all I got to offer you is love
Sweet love
Gerry Goffin / Carole King)
You gotta give me some
Give me some of your lovin'
You gotta give me some of your lovin'
Now I'm not a greedy girl
I don't need the world
(Just give me some)
Some of your lovin' now, oh, oh, oh, oh
Now I don't expect you to guarantee
Your faith and devotion to only me
I'm aware you got a lot of wild oats to sow
But baby when I need you
Don't you tell me no
You gotta give me some
(Give me some of your lovin')
Oh yes you do now
You gotta give me some of your lovin'
Now I'm not a jealous child
My demands are mild
(Just give me some)
Some of your lovin' now, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I know a man likes to feel that he's been around
Before he decides to settle down
I've no doubt
Some day you're gonna feel that way too
But baby, just remember
(Until you do)
You gotta give me some
(Give me some of your lovin')
Oh yes you do now
I mean to tell you
(You gotta give me some)
Of your lovin'
Now I'm not a greedy girl
I don't need the world
(Just give me some)
Some of your lovin' now, oh oh, oh, oh
You gotta give me some, some of your lovin'
I mean to tell you
(You gotta give me some of your lovin')
Oh, don't forget about me now
I mean to tell you, oh
Ah, you gotta give me some of your lovin'
(Burt Bacharach / Hal David)
I just don't know what to do with myself
Don't know just what to do with myself
I'm so used to doing everything with you
Planning everything for two
And now that we're through
I just don't know what to do with my time
I'm so lonesome for you it's a crime
Going to the movie only makes me sad
Parties make me feel as bad
When I'm not with you
I just don't know what to do
Like a summer rose
It needs the sun and rain
Oh, I need your sweet love
To beat all the pain
I just don't know what to do with myself
I just don't know what to do with myself
Baby, if your new love ever turns you down
Come back, I will be around
Just waiting for you
I don't know what else to do
Like a summer rose
It needs the sun and rain
Oh, I need your sweet love
To beat all the pain
I don't know just what to do with myself
I don't know just what to do with myself
Baby, if your new love ever turns you down
Come on back, I will be around
Just waiting for you
I don't know what else to do, no, no, no
I don't know what else to do
I'm still so crazy for you, no, no, no, no
I don't know what else to do, no, no, no
(Clive Westlake)
It isn't the way that you look
And it isn't the way that you talk
It isn't the things that you say or do
Make me want you so
It is nothing to do with the wine
Or the music that's flooding my mind
But never before have I been so sure
You're the someone I dreamed I would find
It's the way you make me feel
The moment I am close to you
It's a feeling so unreal
Somehow I can't believe it's true
The pounding I feel in my heart
The hoping that we'll never part
I can't believe this is really happening to me
I close my eyes and count to ten
And when I open them you're still here
I close my eyes and count again
I can't believe it but you're still here
We were strangers a moment ago
With a few dreams but nothing to show
The world was a place
With a frown on its face
And tomorrow was just, I don't know
But the way you make me feel
The moment I am close to you
Makes today seem so unreal
Somehow I can't believe it's true
Tomorrow will you still be here?
Tomorrow will come but I fear
That what is happening to me
Is only a dream
I close my eyes and count to ten
And when I open them you're still here
I close my eyes and count again
I can't believe it but you're still here
I close my eyes and count to ten
(Gerry Goffin & Carole King)
Tonight you're mine completely, oh
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow?, oh
Is this a lasting treasure?, oh, no, no, no
Or just a moment's pleasure?
Can I believe the magic of your sighs?
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Tonight, with words unspoken
You said that I'm the only one
But will my heart broken
When the night meets the morning sun?
I'd like to know that your love, no, no, no, no, no
Is a love I can be sure of
So, tell me now
And I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?, oh
So tell me now
And I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?, ah, hey
Will you still love me, love me tomorrow?, no, no, no, no
Will you still love me, love me tomorrow?

(Dusty Springfield)
The first time we met
It was so plain to see
I didn't care for you
You didn't seem to care for me, oh, no, no, no, no
The next time we met
I thought ";He's kinda nice";
That look that you gave me
Simply started to melt the ice, oh, oh, yeah
And then when you smiled that smile
And then when we kissed, said ";Wait awhile";
I got a feeling, ahh, that you are something special
And now we're together and the world just passes us by
Yet every little thing you do makes me sigh with joy ";That boy is mine";
I'm gonna love you for the rest of my life
With the kind of lovin' that's untouched
By hand and strife
Come on now, I'm gonna tell you
That when, oh, when I see your face, yeah
And, oh, when I'm in your warm embrace
I know for sure our love is something special
It is, yeah, yeah, yeah
Right now
When I see your face, oh yeah
And, oh, when I'm in your warm embrace
I know for sure
Our love is something special
Come on now
Our love is something special
Oh yeah
Our love is something special
Oh right now
Our love is something special
Ooh yeah
Out love is something special
(Verdi / Kaye)
I would be through with love
Have nothing to do with love
If it hadn't been for you
If it hadn't been for you
Love hurt me from the start
I'd still have a broken heart
If it hadn't been for you
If it hadn't been for you
You put your sweet lips on mine
And I believed in love again
The world took on a new shine
And, oh how sad it was then
When love was so cruel to me
How empty my life would be
If it hadn't been for you
And the little things you do
My whole world would fall through
If it hadn't been for you
If it hadn't been for you, ooh, ooh
My whole world would fall through
If it hadn't been for you
if it hadn't been for you
If it hadn't been for you
If it hadn't been for you
(Arthur Alexander)
Everyday I have to cry some
Everyday I have to cry some
Dry the water from my eyes some
Everyday I have to cry
There was a little boy I had planned to marry
This was my love I didn't want to share it
I thought that love would make my life bright and sunny
He said he couldn't love me 'cause he didn't have no money
So, everyday I have to cry some
Everyday I have to cry some
Dry the water from my eyes some
Everyday I have to cry
I got me a boy
I guess I really loved him
Every night now I was thinking of him
But you can't mix love with money
'Cause if you do it's gonna hurt somebody
So, everyday I have to cry some
Everyday I have to cry some
Dry the water from my eyes some
Everyday I have to cry
Although I know that he's just a poor boy
Is it wrong to love 'cause he's not a rich boy?
Every time you mix love with money
Every time you hurt somebody
So, everyday I have to cry some
Everyday I have to cry some
Dry the water from my eyes some
Everyday I have to cry
Everyday I have to cry
Everyday I have to cry
Oh, oh
(Burt Bacharach / Hal David)
Anyone who ever loved
Could look at me and know that I love you
Anyone who ever dreamed
Could look at me and know I dream of you
Knowing I love you, so
Anyone who had a heart
Would take me in his arms and love me too
You couldn't really have a heart
And hurt me like you hurt me
And be so untrue
What am I to do?
Every time you go away
I always say this time it's goodbye dear
Loving you the way I do
I take you back
Without you I'd die dear
Knowing I love you, so
Anyone who had a heart
Would take me in his arms and love me too
You couldn't really have a heart
And hurt me like you hurt me
And be so untrue
What am I to do?
Knowing I love you, so
Anyone who had a heart
Would take me in his arms and love me too
You couldn't really have a heart
And hurt me like you hurt me
And be so untrue
Anyone who had a heart could love me too
Anyone who had a heart would surely take me
In his arms and always love me
Why won't you?, yeah
Anyone who had a heart would love me too, yeah
Anyone who had a heart would simply take me
In his arms and always love me
Why won't you?, yeah
Anyone who had a heart would love me too
(Climie Fisher)
Train whistles blowing
Whispers your name
I lie awake crying
To the midnight rain
Inside I slowly die
I read a hundred times
The letter from you
Life has no reason
When love turns to blue
So cold is the night wind
So dark are the days
So lonesome the feeling
Since you've gone away
In every song I hear
The message is so clear
They wrote it just for you
Life has no reason
When love turns to blue
So, say, say that you'll come back to me
I'm begging you baby
I'm tortured here without you
So say, say you feel the same way I do
Life has no reason
When love turns to blue
Ooh, ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
In every song I hear
The message is so clear
That they wrote it just for you
Life has no reason
When love turns to blue
So, say, say that you'll come back to me
I'm begging you baby
I'm tortured here without you
So say, say you feel the same way I do
Life has no reason
When love turns to blue
Oh, life has no reason
(Dan Hartman / Holly Knight)
Loneliness can lock you up
Like prison walls around your heart
You waste away, you fall apart
The seconds tick away and the world is turning
So take me in your arms while the need is burning, baby
Time, time waits for no-one
Especially me, baby - don't know about you, oh
Time, time, time waits for no-one
So what about it - do you wanna run away with me?
Your tender words release my soul
You move so strong, you've got to know
Your eyes reveal that maybe we should try
The walls won't come down unless you open fire
We gotta make a move 'cause you can't deny it, baby
Time, time waits for no-one
Especially me, baby - don't know about you, oh
Time, time, time waits for no-one
So what about it - do you wanna run away, run away, run away?
You can run from me, but you can't run from yourself
You'd only lose what you really want to love
(It's a sad, sad story), it's always the same
If you don't take chances, there's nothing to gain
Run away, run away
The walls won't come down unless you open fire
We gotta make a move - can't deny it
Time, time waits for no-one, oh, oh
Especially me, baby - don't know about you, oh
Time, time, time waits for no-one
So what about it - do you wanna run away, run away, run away?
Take me in your arms
(Time time) waits for no-one, ooh
So what about it - do you wanna run away, run away, run away?
Time
(Allee Willis / Lauren Wood)
Somebody got a magic touch
Somebody just can't get enough
Your picture's hanging in my car
I love you for just who you are
And don't you know I want you?, maybe
Baby
Get your motor running
Can't you hear me coming?
And send it to me
Put it in a letter
If that'll make it better
And send it to me, haa
Stick it in a bottle
It's always getting hotter
And send it to me, haa
Nothing gonna stop it
So shoot it like a rocket
And send it to me
I sit behind a desk all day
And dream of you to get away
I got no money in the bank
I don't need much, got you to thank
And don't you know I want you?, maybe
Baby
Oh, get your motor running
Can't you hear me coming?
And send it to me, ah
Put it in a letter
If that'll make it better
And send it to me, haa
Stick it in a bottle
It's always getting hotter
Send it to me, haa
Nothing gonna stop it
So shoot it like a rocket
And send it to me, ahh
Deep in the night, I turn around
And wish you were here with me
I grab the sheets and make up a fantasy
Can't you see
That you're the one that I love?
Get your motor running
Can't you hear me coming?
And send it to me, ooh, oh, oh
Stick it in a bottle
Ain't nothing gonna stop it
So shoot it like a rocket
Baby, send it to me
Ahh, oh
Get your motor running
Can't you hear me coming?
(Jacques Brel/Rod McKuen)
If you go away on this summer day
Then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew in the summer sky
When our love was new and our hearts were high
When the day was young and the night was long
And the moon stood still for the night bird's song
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
But if you stay, I'll make you a day
Like no day has been or will be again
We'll sail on the sun, we'll ride on the rain
We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind
Then if you go, I'll understand
Leave me just enough love to hold in my hand
If you go away, If you go away, If you go away
Ne me quitte pas
Il faut oublier
Tout peut s'oublier
Qui s'enfuit déj?
Oublier le temps
Des malentendus
Et le temps perdu
A savoir comment
Oublier ces heures
Qui tuaient parfois
A coups de pourquoi
Le coeur du bonheur
Ne me quitte pas, ne me quitte pas, ne me quitte pas
But if you stay, I'll make you a night
Like no night has been or will be again
I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch
I'll talk to your eyes, that I love so much
Then if you go, I'll understand
Leave me just enough love to hold in my hand
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
If you go away, as I know you must
There'll be nothing left in this world to trust
Just an empty room, full of empty space
Like the empty look I see on your face
Oh, I'd have been the shadow of your shadow
If it might have kept me by your side
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
[spoken] Please don't go away!
(Jerry Ragavoy / Mort Shuman)
I got a good thing
I got a good thing
I got a good thing going
Take the sun and take the moon
And stars that shine so bright
All I need is my guy
And everything's all right
Everything about him thrills me
The way he looks at me just kills me
He's got a way of getting to me
Every kiss just goes right through me
I got a good thing
You know I got a good thing, baby
I got a good thing going
Take the rainbow from the sky
Oh, I don't really care
I will have a pot of gold
As long as he is there
I never knew such sweet affection
And it's all in my direction
If he left there's no mistaking
My poor heart would start to break and
I got a good thing
You know I got a good thing going
I got a good thing going, yeah
I got a good thing, yeah
You know I got a good thing going
You know I got a sweet thing baby
Everything is everything, baby
Everything is uptight, all right, out of sight
Yeah, I got a good thing going, yeah
(Taylor / Ragavoy)
I can't wait until I see my, my baby's face
When I tell him that I'm through
Yes, I'm through with him
'Cause he's been running round
And I got to, to put him down
I can't wait to see the look
The look in his eyes
I wonder if he'll cry
When I tell him this is goodbye, yes it is
Or will he try to change my mind
And make me stay? yeah
Or will he turn around
And, with a smile on his face
Just walk away?
Just walk away
I can't wait until I see my, my baby's face
Gotta find out what I mean
What I mean to him
'Cause just one tear is all he's got to, to shed for me
And I know that l will run, yes I'll run to him
I'll hold him tight
Never, never let him go, no-o-o
And I can't wait until I see my, my baby's face
You know, I just can't wait until I see my baby's, baby's face
You know, I just can't wait until I see my, my baby's face
I can't wait until I

Hear my voice
Where you are
Take a train
Steal a car
Hop a freight
Grab a star
Come back to me
Catch a plane
Catch a breeze
On your hands
On your knees
Swim or fly
Darling please
Come back to me
On your mark
Now get set
Hop a mule
Hop a jet
In a towel wringing wet
I don't care
This is where you should be
From the hills to the shore
Ride the wind to my door
Turn the highways to dust
Break the law if you must
Move the world
Only just come back to me
Must I yell 'til I'm blue?
Where are you and will you
Come back to me?
Have you gone to the moon
Or the corner saloon?
In Rome or Rangoon
I'm a wreck
Where in heck can you be?
In a crate
In a trunk
Half asleep
Roaring drunk
In a rolls or a van
Anyway that you can
I'd be so nice to come home to
Lover come back

They're gonna make your dreams come true

Satisfy your reason
It will occupy your mind
Even when you're dreaming
Believe
Find another meaning
To determine what you need
Experience this feeling
And believe
Believe
In a world so confused
In a world so confused
In a world so confused
In a world so confused
Believe
Love will pierce the dark cloud
Of unknowing and reveal
All that you were dreaming
And believe
These communications
Will descend on you en masse
So what I'm saying, baby
Is believe
Believe
In a world so confused
If you feel love refused
Believe
In a life so defined
You could find time

Believe
In a world so confused
If you find love refused

In a life so defined
You could find time
To change your mind

Occupy your mind and you'll believe
Occupy your mind and you'll believe
Occupy your mind and you'll believe
Believe
In a world so confused

(Bricusse / Newley)
Who can I turn to
When nobody needs me?
My heart wants to know
And 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
And maybe tomorrow
I'll find what I'm after
I'll throw off my sorrow
Beg, steal or borrow
My share of laughter
With you I could learn to
With you on a new day
But who can I turn to if you turn away?
Oh, oh, yeah
With no star to guide me
And nobody beside me
I'll go on my way and after the day
The darkness will hide me
And maybe tomorrow
I'm gonna find what I'm after
I'll throw off my sorrow
Beg, steal or borrow
My share of laughter
With you I could learn to
Oh, with you on a new day
(Halley / Raleigh)
(That's how heartaches are made)
(That's how heartaches are made)
They told me I was such a fool to love you
They say that you're the kind who'd never be true
Pretty soon the day would come
When I'd be the sorry one
But I said that I'm not afraid, well
That's how heartaches are made
That's how heartaches are made
I went ahead and my heart opened the door
I gave you so much love no-one could want more
You pretended to be mine
How could you be so unkind?
With all the other girls you played, well
That's how heartaches are made
That's how heartaches are made
That's how heartaches are made
That's how heartaches are made
I know you're not sincere
And you'll never be
But still I want your kisses so desperately
I can never let you go
Baby, you know I know
Every rule of love you disobeyed, well
That's how heartaches are made
That's how heartaches are made
(Margie Hendrix)
So if I give up (yes, I'm packin' up)
Movin' out of the town (movin' out of the town)
Packin' up (yes, I'm packin' up)
Movin' out of the town (movin' out of the town)

All about you
That men are evil
The things you do
And I keep on (I'm not chained and I'm no longer bound)
And then I'm packin' (yes, I'm packin' up)

(Gerry Goffin / Carole King)
When my friends told me
You had someone new
I didn't believe
A single word was true
I showed them all
I had a-faith in you
I just a-kept on saying
Oh no! Not my baby
Oh no! Not my sweet baby
You're not like those other guys
Who lead you on and tell you lies
My mama told me when rumours spread
There's truth somewhere and I should use my head
But I didn't listen to what she said
I kept a-right on saying
Oh no! Not my baby
Oh no! Not my sweet baby
You're not like those other boys
Who play with hearts like they were toys
Well, you might have had a last-minute fling
But I am sure it didn't mean a thing
'Cause yesterday
You gave me your ring
And I'm so glad that I kept on saying
Oh no! Not my baby
Oh no! Not my sweet baby
You're not like those other boys
Who play with hearts like they were toys
Oh no! Not my baby
Oh no! Not my sweet baby
Oh no! Not my baby
No, no, no not my sweet baby
(Burt Bacharach / Hal David)
Tonight will be for the first time
I have learned what my lips are for
And darling, now that I've kissed you
I'm craving to kiss you more
Let me tell you
Long after tonight is all over
Long after tonight is all gone
I'll be yours
For ever and a day and
Yours, come anything that may
You'll always be just everything to me, yeah
Here in my arms
When I hold you
I can feel that the world is mine
Don't go away
Don't you leave me
Or I'll cry 'til the end of time
Let me tell you
Long after tonight is all over
Long after it's all gone
I'll be yours
Come anything that may and
Yours, for ever and a day
You'll always be just everything to me, yeah, mmm, mmm
Let me tell you
Long after tonight is all over
Long after it's all gone
I'll be yours
For ever and a day and
Yours, come anything that may
You'll always be just everything to me, yeah,
Long after tonight is all over
Long after tonight is all over
After it's over and done
After it's over and done, hey, boy, yeah
After it's gone, hey, yeah
After it's gone

Bamba, bamba
(Jerry Ragavoy / Bert Russell)
I should have told him
That I needed him
When I had the chance
And now he's left me
And it's all over
Goodbye romance
I should have told him then
Over and over again
That I love him
But, it was easier to hurt him, ooh
It was easier to hurt him, ooh
It was easier to hurt him
That's what I thought
Was being so smart
The way I cheated him
And mistreated him
How could I forget?
I was so sure that he
Would always trust in me
Oh, that I'd take a bet, no, no, no
He'd never say goodbye
But here all alone am I
He is gone now, ahh, 'cause
It was easier to hurt him
What could I do?
(It was) Easier to hurt him
I should have known better
That's what I thought
Was being so smart, oh, oh
It was easier to hurt him
I need him so bad
(It was) Easier to hurt him
What did I do?
(It was) Easier to hurt him
I should have known better
(It was) Easier to hurt him
If It Don't Work Out.
(R. Argent)
When he loved me nothing in this world
Could touch his love
And now the light of love is back
Can I return the joys he's dreaming of?
I don't know
I don't know
(But if it don't work out)
The tears that I'm crying baby
Won't bring him home, no, no
I wanna bring him home
Will he still care for me
The way he did he before?
Or, will he turn away
And tell me he don't love me anymore?
I don't know
Oh, I don't know
(But if it don't work out)
The tears that I'm crying, baby
Won't bring him home
I wanna bring him home
But if I could forget
The tears and the crying
That I went through once before, yeah
Maybe my love and I could start
We'd start again, yeah
One day I know we'll find again
The love we had and I
Will know and feel
The joys and pleasures that I'm dreaming of
I don't know
I don't know
(But if it don't work out)
The tears that I'm crying, baby
Ain't gonna bring him home, again
Ain't gonna bring him home
Hey, But if it don't work out
The tears that I'm crying, baby
Hey, ain't gonna bring him home again
I'm gonna cry my heart out waiting for him, yeah
Cry my heart out, yes I will
Cry my heart out, yes I will
(Randy Newman)
The night we met
The night that I won't forget
You seemed what I'd been waiting for
But baby, I've been wrong before
You held me tight
And everything seemed just right
I couldn't ask for me
But baby, I've been wrong before
He used to smile at me
And a-hold my hand like you do
Then he left me
And a-broke my heart in two
I see your face
And feel your warm embrace
You're all that I adore
But baby, I've been wrong before
(Davis / Caston)
I had a talk with my man last night
He reassured me everything was still all right
As the night grew light
My blues got bright
He made me know
I was the star of the show
He said he was mine all to myself
And I won't, and he won't, ever need nobody else
He took me in his arms
And turned on my love
Ooh, yes he did, yes he did, yes he did, oh, oh
I had a talk with my man last night
He said never again lonely would I be
And that's when he asked to marry me
I began to cry
He kissed the tears from my weeping eyes
Oh, yes he did, yes he did, yes he did, oh, oh
(Goffin / King)
Here you are again
Tellin' me you're sorry, baby
Tellin' me you want to come a-back home
Where you belong
There you go again
Lying and allibiing
Singing that same old worn-out song
Here it comes now, hey
(I'm sorry, baby)
I can't hear you no more, no, no, no, no
(I'm sorry, baby)
Well, I've heard it all before
(I'm sorry, baby)
You ain't reachin' me, no how, no way
No time 'til doomsday
Can't hear you no more
Can't hear you no more
You walked out on me
Once too often, boy
And I ain't takin' no more of your jivin'
That's the truth
I ain't about to let you
Run me into the ground
This girl ain't throwin' away her youth, no how, hey
I can't hear you no more, no, no, no, no, no
Well, I've heard it all before
You ain't a-reachin' me, no how, no way
No time 'til doomsday
Can't hear you no more
Can't hear you no more, oh, no
Just a little bit higher
Yeah, all right
Yeah, yeah, all right, now
You ain't reachin' me, no how, no way
No time 'til doomsday
Can't hear you no more
Can't hear you no more, all right
A-just a little bit louder, yeah
I can't hear you no more, yeah
Oh, I can't hear you no more
I can't hear you no more
I can't hear you no more, no, no, no
I can't hear you no more, all right
I can't hear you no more, no, no, no, no, no
I can't hear you no more, all right now
I can't hear you no more, no, no
(Tony Joe White)
Willie & Laura Mae Jones
Were our neighbours a long time back
They lived right down the road from us
In a shack just like our shack
The people worked the land together
And we learned to count on each other
When you live off the land
You don't have the time to think about another man's colour
The cotton was high and the corn was growing fine
But that was another place and another time
Sit out on the front porch
In the evening when the sun went down
Willie would play and the kids would sing
And everybody would mess around
Daddy'd bring out his guitar
And play on through the night
Every now and then ol' Willie would grin and say
";Hey, you play all right";
Made me feel so good
I remember the best times of all
When Saturday came around
We all would stop by Willie's house and say
";Do y'all need anything from town?";
He'd say ";No, but why don't y'all stop on the way back through?
And I'll get Laura Mae, yeah, to cook up some barbecue";
And you know that's good
The cotton was high and the corn was growing fine, yes it was
But that was another place and another time
Oh, the years rolled past the land
And took back what they'd given
We all knew we had to move
If we were gonna make a living
So we all moved off
And went about our separate ways
It sure was hard to say goodbye
To Willie and Laura Mae (Jones), oh yeah
The cotton was high and the corn was growing fine, yes it was
But that was another place and another time
I remember so well
The cotton looked so fine
But that was another place and another time
And it felt so good, yes it did
(Gerry Goffin / Carole King)
In the midst of all my darkness, baby
You came along to guide me
You took pity on a lonely girl
When you said you'd stand beside me
I'll never forget you for what you've done
I'll never turn my back on you for anyone
I got so much love to give you
Baby, I got so such love to give you
Oh, there's more than enough
To last a whole life through, yes
And it's all for you
My world was cold and so empty
And my life so unfulfilling
When I needed someone to pick me up
You were oh, so willing
Now to you it might seem a little thing
But to me it seemed you'd changed my winter to spring
(I've got so much love)
Baby, I got so such love to give you
Oh, there's more than enough
To last my whole life through, yeah
It's all for you
There's so few men nowadays
Who understand the soul of a woman
Now they're always on the take and they're
Never giving, never offering a helping hand
Oh baby, I can count on you
Whenever trouble calls
You see me through
You show your love in so many ways
I'm gonna love you for the rest of my days, yeah
I got so much love to give you
(Gerry Goffin / Carole King)
Your toy balloon has sailed
In the sky, love
But now it must fall
To the ground
Now your sad eyes reveal
Just how badly you feel
'Cause there is no easy way down
The view from the cliffs
Must have been exciting
And up to the peaks
You were bound
Now you're stranded alone
And the past is unknown
And there is no easy way down
No it isn't very easy
When you're left on your own
No it isn't very easy
When each road you take
Is one more mistake
There's no-one to break your fall
And lead you back home, yeah
We all like to climb to the heights of love
Where our fantasy world can be found
But you must know in the end
When it's time to descend
That there is no easy way down
You know you're gonna find
(Neil Goldberg / Gil Slavin)
Oh, ho
He rode into Virginia
Rollin' thunder, ridin' high
I was servin' table
Waitin' for that ride
My arms around his body
Well, we rode a thousand miles
He taught me how to love
He taught me how to fly, oh, ho, my
Hungry together
Racin' the weather
Into the Natchez Trace
Warmin' and feedin' him
All the way to Cumberland, oh, ho, yes
And I had his child in Memphis
And we watched him ride away
And now you know what a girl like me
Is doin' here today
I'm sorry mister, you can't stay
Hungry together
Racin' the weather
Into the Natchez Trace
Warmin' and feedin' him
All the way to Cumberland, oh, ho, yes
And when the piper gets to play
Somebody's got to pay
And now you know what a girl like me
Is doin' here today
Oh, I'm sorry mister, you can't stay
I'm sorry mister, you can't stay
Hungry together
Racin' the weather
Into the Natchez Trace
Warmin' and feedin' him
All the way to Cumberland, oh
When the piper gets to play
Somebody's got to pay
And now you know what a girl like me
Is doin' here today
Oh, I'm sorry mister, you can't stay
I'm sorry mister, you can't stay, oh, ho, ho, ho
Sorry mister, you can't stay
Sorry mister, you can't stay, no
Sorry mister, you can't stay, oh, ho, ho, ho
Sorry mister, you can't stay
Sorry mister, you can't stay, no
Sorry mister, you can't stay, oh
(David Gates)
Ah, ha, have you ever tried
Really reaching out for the other side?
I may be climbing up rainbows
But baby, here goes
Ooh, dreams, they're for those who sleep
Life is for us to keep
And if you're wonderin' what this all is leadin' to
I wanna make it with you
I really think that we could make it, ooh
No, you don't know me well
And every little thing only time will tell
But you believe the things that I do
And we'll see it through
Oh, life can be short or long
Love can be right or wrong
And if I choose the one I'd like to help me through
I'd like to make it with you
I really think that we could make it, yeah, yeah, ooh
Ah, ha, and if I choose the one I'd like to help me through
Ooh, hoo, I'd like to make it with you, ah, ha
Ooh, baby, ah, I wanna make it with you
Ooh, let's make it, I wanna make it with you
Ooh, baby, yeah, I wanna make it with you
Ooh, hoo, let's make it, I wanna make it with you
Ah, make it, let's make it
I wanna make it with you
(Unknown)
Ooh, hoo, once love was a fire
That came and lit my way
I felt the fire die about a month ago
And now I look at my man
And I know he's goin' away
And now, I want that man
Mmm, I need that man
And I got to get back into his heart
I said love shine down on me
Love shine down on me
Love shine, light my way back into his heart
I, I stood beside him
When nobody else, nobody wanted to
Well I've been down, yes I have
But I've never, never been broken
'Til the day that he told me
The sweet lovin' life was through
I said, I want that man
Ooh, I need that man
And I got to get back into his heart
I said love shine down on me
Love shine down on me
Love shine, light my way back into his
Love shine
Oh, love shine
I said shine, shine, shine
Oh, down on me
I want it, yes, I need it
Oh, ho, oh, ho
I said love shine down on me
(Gil Slavin / Mike Soles)
You ask me to live here with you
If I could, love, you know I would
I can't give you my heart or my hand though you want it
I can't give you the love I know I should
And I tell you there's nobody else
It's not you, I'm just afraid
Will you show me the way?
So, I'm sure that I love you
Show me how true love is made
If I could I would give you my heart and my hand
I'd give you the sea, I'd give you the land
If I found love to give you
I would give you my life, mmm, mmm, mmm, ooh, hoo, hoo, mmm
In my sorrow I've called out your name
In my dreams I've known only you
Is this love that I feel?
Am I foolin' myself when I wish for my dreams to come true?
If I could I would give you my heart and my hand
I'd give you the sea, I'd give you the land
If I found love to give you
I'd give you my life, mmm, mmm, mmm, ooh, hoo, hoo, mmm
All the pain on my life would be gone
Oh, my love, if you only knew
You'd be kissin' away all the tears of my joy
When you ask me to live here with you
(Randy Newman)
Can't I cry a little bit?
There's nobody to notice it
Can't I cry if I want to?
No-one cares
Why can't I pretend
That you'll love me again?
All I had has been taken from me
Now I cry tears that never become me
Just one smile means forgiving
Just one kiss, the hurt's all gone
Just one smile to make my life worth living
A little dream to build my world upon
How I wish I could say
All the things I want to say
If some way, you could see what's in my heart
Oh, baby
I don't ask for much
A look, a smile, a touch
Try to forget
Lord knows, I'm trying
It's so hard to forget
When your whole world you know is dying
Just one smile means forgiving
Just one kiss, the hurt's all gone
Just one smile to make my life worth living
A little dream to build my world upon
Just one smile please forgiving
Just one kiss, hurt's all gone
Just one smile to make my life worth living
A little dream to build my world upon
(Gil Slavin / Mike Soles)
In my life
I have known many sorrows
In my time
Troubles have shadowed my way
And my path has been covered
With teardrops from my eyes
Like the cold, cold rain
That comes in the fall
Oh, but I have found my way through the darkness
And nobody but you could have brought me out, mmm, yes
You fill my life with sunshine
You always bring me gladness
And nobody but you could have brought me out
I've seen men on their knees come crawling
And my friends begging a lot all of their days
And I have found my, found the road down the mountain, you know I have
And the cold wind's blowing through my hair, yeah
You know, that I have found my way through the darkness
And nobody but you could have brought me out
You fill my life with sunshine, oh, yes you do
(You always bring me gladness)
Said, nobody but you could have brought me out, yeah
I found my way through the darkness
Said, nobody but you could have brought me out, oh
You fill, you fill it with sunshine, oh, oh
I have found, yeah
(Randy Newman)
In my neighbourhood
We don't live so good
The rooms are small
And the buildings made of wood
I hear the neighbours talking 'bout you and me
I guess I heard it all
'Cause the talk is loud
And the walls are much too thin
He don't really love her
That's what I heard them say
He sure wasn't thinking of her today, oh no
(He wasn't thinking of her today)
I saw them in the front yard
Said the boy in room 149
He was talking to a girl I've never seen before
And standing there together, oh they looked so good
I don't want to hear it anymore
(I don't want to hear it)
I don't want to hear it anymore
(Anymore)
'Cause the talk just never ends
And the heartache soon begins
The talk is so loud
And the walls are much too thin
Ain't it sad, said the woman down the hall
That when a nice girl falls in love
Ain't it just too bad that she had to fall
For a boy who doesn't care for her at all?
(It's so sad)
I don't want to hear it anymore
(I don't want to hear it)
I just can't stand to hear it anymore
(Anymore)
'Cause the talk just never ends
And the heartache soon begins
The talk is so loud
And the walls are much too thin
I don't want to hear it anymore
(Can't stand to hear it)
(Don't want to hear it)
I just can't stand to hear it anymore
(Don't talk about it)
(Can't stand to hear it)
Oh, baby, baby
(Gerry Goffin / Carole King)
Now you know me
You know how proud I am
And what I'm gonna tell you now
Won't be easy to say
Before I left your side
Ooh, I was so happy then
But I've been so lonely
Since I've been away
Oh, baby
I've tried and I know I can't make it alone
It's such a hard way to go
I just can't make it alone
There's something in my soul
That will always
Lead me back to you
What can I say now?
Sorry is just not good enough
I couldn't blame you if you hurt me now
The way I hurt you then
But who else can I turn to?
Oh, baby, I'm begging you
Won't you reach out for my dying soul?
And make me live again
Oh, baby, it's so hard
I've tried and I know I can't make it alone
It's such a hard way to go
I just can't make it alone
There's something in my soul
That will always
Lead me back to you
Baby, help me
I've tried and I know I can't make it alone
It's such a hard way to go
And I can't make it alone
There's something in my soul
That will always
Lead me back to you
Oh, help me
(Please help me)
You know I need you
(I need you)
I'm saying that I need you
I just can't make it by myself
(I just can't make it by myself)
I just can't make it all alone
(I just can't make it all alone)
I just can't make it by myself
(I just can't make it by myself)
(Unknown)
If we knew a way to go back through time
To the place where love was lost
We could take each other's hand again
And wander back across
But we always seem to end up here
Tryin' not to say goodbye
Baby, we don't have to say the words
Words can sometimes make you cry
Ooh, have a good life baby
Take good care of yourself
Have a good life baby
Be happy with someone else, mmm, mmm, ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo, mmm
This time we really will let go
And we won't look back again
But pretend the sun is on a rise
When the day is at an end
So, let's kiss and wish each other love
Over one more sip of wine
Oh, honey, try to give me one last smile
And I'll leave you one of mine
Ooh, hoo-oo, have a good life baby
Take good care of yourself, ah, ha, ha
Have a good life baby
Be happy with somebody else, ah, ha, oh
Ooh, hoo, hoo, hey
Have a good life baby
Take good care of yourself, ahh
Have a good life baby
Hope you'll be happy with somebody else, oh, baby
Have a good life baby
Take good care of yourself, ah, ha, ho
Have a good life baby
(Roland Chambers / Leonard Pakula)
Goodbye, bye, bye, bye
Is all he said to me
Goodbye, bye, bye, bye
Is all he said to me
I should have known
When I looked into his eyes
He wasn't serious
I should have seen through his disguise
He led me to believe
That he would never leave
And I thought that I blew his mind
He said goodbye, bye, bye, bye
Is all he said to me
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Is all he said to me
I sure get discouraged
When I think of what a fool I've been
I don't know where he's at
And I don't know where he's been
So how can he leave me?
Hurt and deceive me
When I make a mistake
This is all he had to kept on saying
Goodbye, bye, bye, bye
Is all he said to me
Goodbye, bye, bye, bye
Is all he said to me, mmm
So how can he leave me?
Hurt and deceive me
When I make a mistake
This is all he had to kept on saying
Goodbye, ye, ye, ye
Is all he said to me
Goodbye, bye, bye, bye
Is all he said to me, yeah, ooh, ooh
Goodbye, bye, goodbye, bye
I said goodbye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye,
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye
(Music: J.S. Bach / Lyrics : Norma Tanega)
Go my love
Go softly goodbye
Life is like an empty dream
Lost in the sky
I see through my tears
The sadness of years
The shadows of happiness passing
I will miss the sun when you go
I will miss the mornings of laughter and tears
Your hello and more than this as you go
Gone is the light from the day
Gone is the pleasure of night
And when you go no more welcoming love
Or a dream
So goodbye my love
Goodbye
So my love
Go gently goodbye
Memories of loving you never will die
My longing will pass
My loving will last
The whispers of time never dimming
I will miss your touch when you go
I will miss the wonder of magical love
As it grows and more than this when you go
Gone is the warmth of your smile
Now is the coldness of snow
Gone when you go is the welcome of love
And the dream
So goodbye, my love
(Gerry Goffin / Carole King)
Baby, I know you've got to go
And I have no right to tell you not to go
The road just isn't there for us
There never was a prayer for us
Someday our paths may cross again
And maybe we'll find the kind of love we lost again
But now, I'll set you free to choose again
It's your life to win or lose again
Hey, don't forget about me now, baby
Baby, please, don't forget about me now, baby
Today I cannot borrow a minute of your tomorrow
But don't let it cause you sorrow
Please, don't forget about me now, baby
Don't forget about me
Someday, our paths may cross again
And maybe we'll find the kind of love we lost again
But now, I've got to let you go
It's ourselves we got to get to know
Oh, hey, don't forget about me now, baby
Baby, please, don't forget about me now
Baby, please, please don't forget about me, baby
Ooh, baby, please, oh
Hey, don't forget about me now, baby
Baby, please, please don't forget about me
(Gerry Goffin & Carole King)
Baby, I know you've got to go
I have no right
To tell you not to go
The road just isn't there for us
There never was a prayer for us
You know how much I want you now
I don't wanna stay here
Give you fits and haunt your mind
And for now, baby
Since you're free to choose again
It's your life to win or lose again
But, hey, just don't forget about me, now, baby
Baby, please, just don't forget about me, now, baby
Today I cannot borrow
A minute of your tomorrow
Don't let it cause you sorrow
Come on baby, please
Just don't forget about me, now, baby
Just don't forget about me
Ah, someday, our paths may cross again
Baby, then we'll find the kind of love
We've lost again
But for now, I've got to let you go
It's ourselves we've got to get to know
Ah, no, don't forget about me, now, baby
Oh, please, don't forget about me, now, baby
Today I cannot borrow
One minute of your tomorrow
Don't let it cause you sorrow
Got to be baby, baby
(Kenny Gamble / Leon Huff)
I said love ain't no good unless it's cherished, mmm
I said love can't be good unless it's cherished, oh no
You and me
We gotta get something understood
We gotta separate all the bad from the good
We gotta do all the things we thought we never could
It's time to wake up
Our love is on the brink
And we've had enough time to think
Can't you see that love can't be no good unless it's cherished?
Oh, baby, believe me, love can't be no good unless it's cherished, mmm, mmm
You and me
Should never let nothing come between
We gotta separate all the fat from the lean
We got to stick together like we're a team
It's time to wake up
Our love, our love is on the brink, yeah
We've had enough time to think
I said, love can't be good unless it's cherished, no, baby
True love, just no good unless it's cherished, ooh, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Now, our love is on the brink
And we've had enough time to think, yes
I said, love can't be no good unless it's cherished
Believe me, love can't be good unless it's cherished
Oh, no good, no good, no good
Love, can't be no good, no good, no good, no good, no good, no good
I said, love can't be no good unless it's cherished
You know it, baby, oh I
(Unknown)
Mmm, my friends keep telling me to pull myself together
They try to cheer my up but it's not gettin' better
They say that time will pass and I'll love again some day
But time is standing still ever since you went away
Now, all the king's horses and all the king's men
You'll never get me back together again
'Cause I just fall apart each time I look at you
No, all the king's and all the king's men
Are never gonna make me smile again
How can I smile just knowin' you're with somebody new?, ooh
You had my hopes so high I guess they had to tumble
And when you left my dream my world began to crumble
No woman ever found the only missing part
When you left me behind don't you know you took my heart?
Now, all the king's horses and all the king's men
You'll never get me back together again
'Cause I just fall apart each time I look at you, yes I do, now
All the king's and all the king's men
You're never gonna make me smile again
How can I smile just knowin' you're with somebody new?, ooh, yeah, ooh, ahh, ha
All the king's horses and all the king's men
You'll never get me back together again
'Cause I just fall apart each time I look at you, yes I do
I said, all the king's and all the king's men
Are never gonna make me smile again
How can I smile just knowing you're with somebody new?, yeah
All the king's horses and all the king's men
You'll never get me back together again
And I just fall apart each time
(Charles Aznavour / Herbert Kretzmer)
Spoken : Somehow, it seems the love I knew was always the most destructive kind
Yesterday when I was young
The taste of life was sweet
As rain upon my tongue
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
The way the evening breeze
May tease the candle flame
The thousand dreams I dreamed
The splendid things I planned
I always built to last on weak and shifting sand
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day
And only now I see how the time ran away
Yesterday when I was young
So many lovely songs were waiting to be sung
So many wild pleasures lay in store for me
And so much pain my eyes refused to see
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
I never stopped to think what life was all about
And every conversation that I can now recall
Concerned itself with me and nothing else at all
The game of love I played with arrogance and pride
And every flame I lit too quickly, quickly died
The friends I made all somehow seemed to slip away
And only now I'm left alone to end the play, yeah
Oh, yesterday when I was young
So many, many songs were waiting to be sung
So many wild pleasures lay in store for me
And so much pain my eyes refused to see
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
The time has come for me to pay for yesterday
When I was young
(Burt Bacharach / Hal David)
You see this girl
This girl's in love with you
Yes I'm in love
Who looks at you the way I do?
When you smile I can tell
We know each other very well
How can I show you
I'm glad I got to know you?
Yes, I've heard it said
They say you think I'm fine
Yes I'm in love
And what I'd do to make you mine
Tell me now
Is it so?
Don't let me be the last to know
My hands are shaking
Don't let my heart keep breaking
'Cause I need your love
Oh, yes I do
(I want your love)
Baby I need it
(Say you're in love)
In love with this girl
If not, I'll just die
Ah, tell me now
Is it so?
Don't let me be the last to know
My hands are shaking
Don't let my heart keep breaking
I need your love
Oh, yes I do
(I want your love)
Some of your loving
(Say you're in love)
In love with this girl
(Bert Berns / Jerry Ragavoy)
Didn't I make you feel
Like you were the only man?
Didn't I give you everything
A woman possibly can?
But with all the love I give you
It's never enough
I'm gonna show you baby
That a woman can be tough
So come on, come on, come on, come on
(Take it)
Take another little piece of my heart, now baby
(Break it)
Break another little bit of my heart, now honey
(Have a)
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby
You know you've got it if it makes you feel good
Yeah, out on the street
And you know deep down in your heart
That ain't right
I know you never never hear me
When I cry at night
I tell myself that I can't stand the pain
But when you hold me in your arms I say it again
So come on come on, come on, come on and
(Take it)
Take another little piece of my heart, now baby
(Break it)
Break another little bit of my heart, now honey
You'd better have a
Have another little piece of my heart, now baby
You know you've got it if it makes you feel good
You'd better
(Take it)
Take another little bit of my heart, now baby
(Break it)
Take another little bit of my heart honey, now baby
You'd better
(Have a)
Have another little piece of my heart, now baby
You'd better
Take it
(J. Cameron / K. Prowse)
Ahh, yeah, baby
Just a-listen to me now
You may not bring me your love
But you bring me your
Sweet inspiration
Yeah, you do
Sweet new creation
Flows from my fingertips
Each time I kiss your lips
You may not give me your heart
But you give me such
Sweet thoughts and music
Please don't refuse it
All that I offer you
Is all that's due to
Someone who could make the stormy skies
Forever blue
Who can turn the snow to summer sun
The wake-up frost to morning dew
You may not bring me your love
But you bring me your sweet inspiration
Stay around a little while
Let me see you laugh
Let me see you smile
Turn me onto everything you might be
Oh, baby, to me
Sweet inspiration
Oh, yeah
Sweet inspiration, ooh
Mmmm
You may not realise everything you mean to me
Two children playing in the sun
Learning to be free
Oh, oh
You may not bring me your love
But you bring me your
Sweet thoughts and music
Come on
Please don't refuse it
All that offer you
Is all that's due to
Someone who could make the stormy skies
Forever blue
Who can turn the snow to summer sun
The wake-up frost to morning dew, oh, oh, oh, baby
You may not bring me your love
But you bring me your
Sweet inspiration
Yeah, you do
Sweet new creations
Fall from my fingertips
The time I kiss your lips
Sweet inspiration
Come on baby, can't you see now?
Come on baby, oh yes
Sweet inspiration
(Jim Stratton / Alexander Ryan)
Here she comes
Here she comes
Ribbons flying from her half-forgotten hair
Look at her run
See what the world and love have done
See all her faces
See all her faces
Look in my eyes
That she is me
I can't disguise
See all her faces
Ah, ha, see all her faces
I'm looking for someone
Of the gentle kind
Knowing that looks can lie
Looking for someone
Is he there to find?
Or should I run on by, ah, ha
Here she comes
Here she comes
Shadows sadly chasing
Every step she takes
Look at her now
She needs love so much more somehow
See all her faces
See all her faces
Look at my life
The wasted years
Each a knife
See all her faces, ah-ha
See all her faces
Waiting for someone
Who will set me free
Passing the time too fast
Waiting for someone
Is that where he'll be?
Or should I run right past?, hmm
There she goes
There she goes
Somehow making me and all her faces sad, oh, oh
(Nana Cayammi / Gilberto Gil / Norma Tanega)
The morning it is sad
The morning so beautiful
The sunshine it is sad
The sunshine no friend of mine
You awake
It is day
As you go from me away
The morning it is sad
The morning so beautiful
So, alone I will stay
The daylight takes you away
So I wait 'til good night
Begins to end the daylight
The daytime, the daybreak
The dawning
Come away, until day
Come away with me my love
Come away, until day
Come away and sing the night
The morning it is sad
The morning so beautiful
The sunshine it is sad
The sunshine no friend of mine
You awake it is day
As you go from me away
The morning it is sad
(Jimmy Webb)
Ah, ha, ah
Gonna let you go my angel
Though I could make you stay
I could use my blind self-pity
Throw it in your way
But the times have turned between us
And you know I don't believe
That it makes one bit of difference
If you stay or if you leave
Why can't I be lonely
Like that lonely rushing river?
Pushing down a mountain
On it's way to meet the sea
Why can't I need somebody
Like that river needs that ocean?
Why did you have to get so mixed up, baby?
With a mixed up girl
With a mixed up girl like me, yeah
Gonna make it short now, angel
Though I could make it long
I could take through all the changes
And show you where you're wrong
But our dreams don't flow together
And you'll never, never see the light
So it really, really doesn't matter
Who is wrong or who is right?
Oh, why can't I be lonely
Like that lonely rushing river?
It's pushing down the mountain
On its way to meet the sea
Oh, why can't I need somebody
Like that river needs that ocean?
Why did you have to get so mixed up, baby?
With a mixed up girl
(Teddy Vann)
When we walk
Down the street
We don't care
Who we see
Or who we meet
Don't have to run
Don't have to hide
'Cause we got something burning inside
We got love power
It's the greatest power of them all
We got love power
And together we can't fall
Sometimes we're up
Sometimes we're down
But our feet are always on the ground
We always laugh
Don't have to cry
And this is the reason why
We got love power
It's the greatest power of them all, hey, hey, hey
We got love power
And together we can't fall, hey
Sometimes we're up
Sometimes we're down
But our feet are always on the ground
We always laugh
Don't have to cry
And this is the reason why
We got love power
It's the greatest power in the world
We got love power
And together we can't fall
We got love, hey, love power
It's the greatest feeling of them all, hey, hey, hey
We got love, oh, power
(John Simon / Al Stillman)
Ahh-haa
Now, if you're gonna let me down
Let me down easy
So I won't be too hurt
After you've gone, ahh honey
If you're gonna set me down
Set me down easy
From that special cloud
You put me on, ooh-hoo
Let me down easy
Oh baby
Let me down slow
So slow and easy, oh
And if you're gonna leave me, baby
Baby please leave me
A little memory
To soften the fall, ooh-hoo
Let me down easy, easy
You gotta do it
You gotta do it
You gotta let me down slow
So slow, slow
If you're gonna let me down
Sweet baby
Let me down so easy
So I can't be too hurt after you've gone, ooh baby, ah, ha, yeah
Ahh, baby, baby, baby, baby
Do it for me, do it, do it, ahh, yeah
(From that special cloud)
You put me on
You put me on it, oh, yeah
Now if you're gonna let me down
Let me down easy
(Clive Westlake)
Just like a ship sailing out on a mornin' tide
Sailing far away out to sea and the sea is very wide
You walked away where there's lots of room to hide
Out into the world and the world is very wide
But one day, (baby, one day), baby, one day
I will come to you if it takes everyday left in my life
I will come to you for there must be someone in my life
No matter where you are
I'll find you near or far
Or I will never love 'til I can love with you
And I won't really live
For life without you is like dying
Don't know where you are
And I don't know if you think of me
But where you are
Is the only place I wanna be
Lost in a world of nothing much to do
That's how I am ever since losing you
But one day, (baby, one day), oh, baby, one day
I will come to you if it takes everyday left in my life, yes I will
I will come to you for there must be someone in my life
No matter where you are
I'll find you near or far
Or I will never love 'til I can love with you
And I won't really live
For life without you is like dying
(I will come to you, ooh, ooh)
There must be someone in my life
(I will come to you, ooh, ooh)
(I will come to you, ooh, ooh)
Oh baby, there must be someone in my life, baby
(I will come to you, ooh, ooh)
Oh, everyday left in my life
(Basil Kirchin / Jack Nathan / James Coleman / Patrick Ryan)
This year, next year
Sometime never
Paper dreams tied up
With bits of string
Darkness comes
Flowers grow
No-one knows
I start counting
I start counting
Sitting by myself in a secret
Chasing thoughts through rainbows in my mind, yeah
Changing time
Tomorrow's dream
In between
I start counting
Counting, yes I do
Counting, counting, counting, counting, counting
Ooh-hoo-oo, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve etc.
(William Jacob / Shannon Shor)
Change the mood I'm in
For a little while
Let me see that grin
Let me see you smile
No soulful tales that fret and frown
No woeful wails that get me down
No rights or wrongs
Sing no sad songs for me
I only wanna laugh
No time for crying
I only wanna laugh
No time for tears
I only wanna sing
A song that's happy
That's why I only wanna walk a street that's sunny
I only wanna see the side that's funny
I'm saving all of my tears until tomorrow
'Cause crying all my tears
Just ain't my style
I'm acting like a clown
But let me be
'Cause even though I know
The joke's on me
I only wanna laugh
Only wanna laugh
Only wanna laugh
I'm saving all of my tears until tomorrow
'Cause crying all my tears
Baby, just ain't my style
I'm acting like a clown
But let me be
'Cause even though the joke's on me, oh
Tell the girls goodbye
'Cause I don't wanna cry
Hey
I only wanna laugh
Only wanna laugh
(Ronald Dunbar / Edith Wayne)
Yeah, it ain't easy
Girls it ain't easy
To keep the man you love satisfied
It ain't easy
Girls it ain't easy
To keep the one you love by your side
A woman's work is never done
Never stops, it goes on and on
You work your fingers to the bone
You gotta be home every time he phones
Sometimes the going gets a little tough
Seems like my best ain't good enough
Keeps you losing sleep
Seven days a week, yeah
It ain't easy
Girls it ain't easy
To keep the man you love satisfied
It ain't easy
Girls it ain't easy
To keep the one you love by your side
To keep him happy
You must sacrifice
Be ready and willing
To spend lonely nights
Do what you can
Though he seems ungrateful
Love him so true
Even though he seems unfaithful
But when his hope is gone
And life gets him down
That's when he'll say
He needs you around
Hard to live with him
Hard to live without him
It ain't easy, no
Oh, yeah, it ain't easy
Girls it ain't easy
It ain't easy
Girls it ain't easy
You got to favour him with understanding
When understanding is what he needs
We try hard to give them respect
All that we get is their regret
But when they're in trouble
They need our love and care
No matter when we gotta be right there
In between the crying
Gotta keep trying
It ain't easy
Girls it ain't easy, ooh, ooh, ooh
It ain't easy
Girls it ain't easy
It ain't easy
Girls it ain't easy, yeah, ooh
It ain't easy
(Antonio Carlos Jobim / Durand / Norma Tanega)
Come for a dream
Come and love in the sun
Come and stay
Just as long as you may
Sunny love for a day
Sunny love may not stay
Love may be glowing fantasy
Young love is free
Come for a smile
Making love in the sun
Like kaleidoscope rainbow begun
Sunny love making fun
Sunny love making one
Magic sensation in the sun
Come for a while
Run away from sorrow
Run away tomorrow
One special day
Warm and dazzling
We climb a tree
Making love in the sea
Sunny love come and be
Sunny love you and me
Imagination is the key
Sing me away, mmm
Run away from longing
Run into belonging
Come for a dream
Come and love in the sun
Come and stay just as long as you may
Sunny love for a day
Sunny love may not stay
Love may be glowing fantasy
Young love is free
Mmm, da, da, dum, da, da, mmm, da, da, dum, da, da..........
(Sylvia Moy / Norman Whitfield / Cornelius Grant)
Into my life
You brought a glowing love
Like a ray of sunshine
From up above
One day out of a clear blue sky
You darkened my life with your words ";goodbye";
That's the day you left me for a stranger
Don't you know that when you left my life
Took on a change-a?
Now I'm telling you it
Ain't no sun since you've been gone
There's a big black cloud hanging over my head
Cloud of loneliness I feel like I'm dead
Ain't no flowers blooming round here for sure
Since you chose to love me no more
I guess you know you took my sunshine away from me baby, boy
You took the life from my world
Crushed my dreams
And I don't mean maybe, baby, baby
And it ain't no sun since you've been gone
Oh, my future, my future
Was as bright as the sun, yes it was
I ain't got no future since you've been gone
I guess you know you took my sunshine away from me baby, yes you did
You took the life from my world
Crushed my dreams
And I don't mean maybe, baby, baby
It seems like night in the middle of the day
Everything around me is faded and grey
Cold are the days
Dark creeps the night
Never bringing you back into my life
It ain't no sun since you've been gone
You took my sunshine away, yeah ooh, ooh, ooh
You took my sunshine away, yes you did, ooh, ooh, ooh
You took my sunshine away, yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh
You took my sunshine away, oh
(Leon Russell)
I've been so many places
In my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs
I made some bad rhymes
I've acted out my life in stages
Ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now
I'm singing this song for you
I know your image of me
Is what I hope to be
I treated you unkindly
But darling can't you see?
There's no-one more important to me
Oh, baby, can't you please see through me?
'Cause we're alone now and
I'm singing this song for you
You taught me precious secrets
Of the truth withholding nothing
You came out in front
I was hiding
Oh, but now I'm so much better
If the words don't come together
Just listen to the melody
'Cause my love in there hiding
Ooh, ooh
Oh, I love you in a place
Where there's no space or time
Love you for my life
You are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and
I was singing this song for you
We were alone
I was singing this song for you, oh
Singing
I was singing, singing, singing, singing, singing this song for you
Oh, yes
Singing this song for you
(Tom Springfield / Clive Westlake)
The night runs away with the day
The grass that was green is now hay
The world goes around without even a sound
And it looks like the summer is over
The rains tumble down in the sky
Young swallows have learned how to fly
The leaves that were green are no longer so green
And it looks like the summer is over
The sun and the moon take turns in the sky
The days drift on by too soon
The meadows are kissed by a cool autumn mist
Far away now is June
The birds fly away to the sun
The leaves touch the ground one by one
The breeze hurries by without even goodbye
And it looks like the summer is over
The sun and the moon take turns in the sky
The days drift on by too soon
The meadows are kissed by a cool autumn mist
Far away now is June
The birds fly away to the sun
The leaves touch the ground one by one
The breeze hurries by without even goodbye
And it looks like the summer is over
(Bob Elgin / Frank Augustus / Clarence Lewis)
Baby, if a wall of stone were built around your heart
Oh, don't you know, don't you know?
I would tear the wall apart
'Cause nothing, nothing, nothing, I said no, not nothing
Nothing in the world's gonna keep me away from you
If a sea of fire, it was surrounding you
Oh, don't you know, don't you know?
I would find a way to get through
Because nothing, nothing, nothing, I said no, not nothing
Nothing in the world's gonna keep me away from you
I've been listening, baby
For one thing, one little thing that I wanna hear
Come on and tell me, come on tell me
Do you really, really, really, really want me here?
Because nothing, nothing, nothing, I said no, not nothing
Nothing in the world's gonna keep me away from you
Yeah, I'm listening, baby
(Nothing in the world's gonna keep me away from you)
Yeah, I'm listening, baby
For one thing, for one little thing that I wanna hear
Come on and tell me, come on and tell me
Do you really, really, really, really want me here?
Because nothing, nothing, I said nothing, no, no, not nothing
Nothing in the world's gonna keep me away from you
Oh, I said nothing, I said nothing, I said nothing, no, no, no, no, not nothing
Nothing in the world's gonna keep me away from you
Yeah, yeah

For those who fancy colouring books
And lots of people do
Here's a new one for you
A most unusual colouring book
The kind you'll never see
Crayons ready?
Very well
Begin to colour me
These are the eyes that watched him as he walked away
Colour them grey
This is the heart that thought he would always be true
Colour it blue
These are the arms that held him and touched him
Lost him somehow
Colour them empty now
These are the beads I wore
Until she came between
Colour them green
This is the room that I sleep in and walk in
And weep in and hide in
That nobody, nobody's seen
Oh, colour it lonely, please
This is the man whose love I depended upon
(Leon Huff)

I've been trying hard to see
Just what you want of me
But it's no good boy
I'm setting you free
'Cause I need you so much more
With each day that passes by
You don't seem to care
It's making me cry
So I'm packing up my bags
Gonna make my getaway
Get myself together
I can't go on this way
Oh, baby, baby
I'm gonna leave you
I'm gonna leave you, baby
This lonely feeling deep in my mind
'Cause I can't turn back
If I leave you behind
But I gotta do it now
Yes, I gotta turn away
Hold me one more time
Don't ask me to stay
It's so hard so say goodbye
But it's you I'm thinking of
It would never work out
I know you're not in love with me
Oh, baby
I'm gonna leave you
Said, I'm gonna leave you
It's over and I'm walking out on you
You'll never get the chance to feel untrue
Though I love you
And I need you
And I want you
I'm still walking out on you
Darling, though it hurts me so inside
I can't take no more
Gonna lose my mind
So I'm packing up my bags
Gonna make my getaway
Get myself together
I can't go on this way
Oh, baby, baby
I'm gonna leave you
Said I'm gonna leave you, baby
Yes I'm gonna leave you, baby
Oh, I'm gonna leave you baby
Ooh, ooh
(Ivor Raymonde / Mike Hawker)
I wish I'd never loved you
I wish I'd never wanted you so much
And never thrilled to your touch
And I would not be lonely and crying
And hurting deep inside
Alone with a need that can't be satisfied
I wish I'd never loved you
I wish I'd never given you my heart
And watch you tear it all apart
And I would not be tortured, tormented and cheated
And surely my heart would not be broken in two
I saw you with another
I watched you hold her tenderly
And I could see as you kissed her
You'd never come back to me, oh
I wish I'd never loved you, mmm
I wish you'd never burned me with your kiss
Oh, how can I go on like this?
And I would not be tortured, tormented and cheated
How I wish I'd never loved you
And I could see as you kissed her
You'd never come back to me
Oh, I wish I'd never loved you
I wish you'd never burned me with your kiss
Oh, how can I go on like this?
And I would not be tortured, tormented and cheated
How I wish I'd never loved you
Oh, I wish I'd never loved you
How I wish I'd never, no, no, never
(Nickolas Ashford / Valerie Simpson)
Now when the storm of life is rushing in on you
And all hope is gone
And you feel the pain and misery of
Being left all alone
After you've tried so hard and your life
Is standing still
And you think you just don't have the
Strength to climb another hill
Oh, I just wanna be there
I just wanna be there
Just to hold you close
Said I wanna be there
I just wanna be there
'Cause I love you most
When you need a little understanding from
Your so-called friends
And you find the road you're travelling down is
Coming do a dead-end
When suddenly you find yourself lost and
Stumbling through the night
Now let me be the hand in the dark that's leading
You to the light
Oh, I just wanna be there
I just wanna be there
Just to hold you close
Said I wanna be there
I just wanna be there
'Cause I love you most
Ooh, ooh, I wanna be there
Baby, baby, baby, baby, I wanna be there, yeah
Wanna be there
Said I wanna be there
I just wanna be there
'Cause I love you most
Promise not to ever try to change you
I love you for yourself
No matter what you choose to be your fate
Now let me be your helpmate
Let me be the main source of power that
Makes your wheels turn
And let me be the wood in the furnace to make
Your fire burn
Yeah, I just wanna be there
Just to hold you close
Said I wanna be there
'Cause I love you most
Ooh, hey, I wanna be there
Said I wanna be there
'Cause I love you most
Said I wanna be, wanna be, wanna be there, yeah

Today I could never belong to one boy
(One boy)
And while you wait for tomorrow
You'll find your heart broken in two
Don't say it baby
Don't be a fool for anyone
Have your fun
Go away
Live every day while you're young

You better go away while you're still young
You gotta live every day now

But you paid your dues

Always want you to do an encore

Someone who dares to love you
Someone who thinks enough of you
To always be willing to share, mmmm
Someone who gives
Someone who lives inside you
Someone who'll be strong beside you
Through all the days that you live, mmmm
I've made up my mind that you're gonna love me
I've made in my heart a soft place for you
I've made up my mind that you're gonna love me

Of being in your life tomorrow
And sharing your joys and your sorrow
Helping you see what it means

Nothing is forever
Always is a dream
Life goes by so fast
You try to make it last
The future turns to past
And summer turns to snow
Ohhh....Ohhh
Nothing is forever
I will understand
If you want me for tonight
Just come and hold me tight
And with the morning light
If summer turns to snow
You can go
Ohhh....Ohhh....
Now here I am wanting you
Yes here I am wanting to
For a lifetime or a day
Or just the month of May
Well, it's easier to stay
Knowing you can go
Ohhh....Ohhh....
And nothing is forever
(Gamble / Huff / Chambers)
Dear Lord above
I swear that I
I will never love again
Unless I'm lovin' him
Oh, no, oh, oh, oh
He came to me
With a twinkle in his eye
And I fell for him
Yes, I fell for him
Took me by surprise
Unaware was I
Well I fell for him
Oh, I fell for him
If I ever needed help
I need it now
Ain't none of my so-called friends
Got the power
To make my tears go 'way
So on my knees I pray
That you bring his love my way
Dear Lord above
I swear that I'll
Never, never love again
Oh, no-ho
I stare down at the eyes
And wipe the tears I cried
When I fell for him
Yes, I fell him
Gettin' next to me
Was all he wanted to see
Well goody-good for him
Goody-good for him
When my heart's in trouble
And my mind's in doubt
You're the only one who could ever work it out
And bring the sun back in my day
So on my knees I pray
That you send his love my way
Dear Lord above
I swear that I
I will never love again
Unless I'm loving him
No I'll never, never, never, never, never, never, never gonna love again
Oh, yes I'm never, never, never , never, never, never, never gonna love again
Dear Lord above
I swear that I'll
Never, never, never, never, love again
Unless I'm lovin' him
Said I'm never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never gonna love again
(Kenneth Gamble / Leon Huff / Jerry Butler)
I was a sad and lonely girl
All alone in this big world, baby, (hey, baby) baby
Lost in a state of misery
Not a soul to comfort me, baby (hey, baby)
I couldn't find no help
Didn't know what to do with myself
Oh, I was standing in confusion
So badly disillusioned
When you wrapped your arms around me
I knew love had found me
I was lost, so long
But found in the nick of time
You know I was lost, so long
But found in the nick of time
Oh, I was lost
I thank the lord that you
Are the one who came to my rescue, baby, (hey, baby)
Thanks for me and this heart of mine
You came just in time, baby, baby (hey, baby)
I couldn't find my way, ooh
Don't you hear what I say?, yeah
Well I was standing in confusion
So badly disillusioned
When you wrapped your arms around me
I knew love had found me
I was lost, so long
But found in the nick of time
You know I was lost (so lost), yeah
But found in the nick of time
Well, I was out here in desperation
No means of communication
Just looking for a sign
Then you threw out your lifeline
Lost, so long
But found in the nick of time
You know I was lost (so lost), yes I was
But found in the nick of time
Well, I was out here in desperation
No means of communication
Just looking for a sign
Then you threw out your lifeline
Oh, so lost, so long
But found in the nick of time
You know I was lost (so lost), yeah
But found in the nick of time
Well, I was out here in desperation
(Kenneth Gamble / Leon Huff)
(Talk it over)
(Talk it over)
You seem to think that everything is more important than me, baby
As if to think my world would be lonely without you on the scene
Oh, it's about time I moved up the ladder
Got to be number one or nothin' at all
Let's sit down, talk it over
Take that finger from your face
Look at me for goodness sake
Talk it over, hey, talk about it
I do everything I can to make life easy for you, baby
But you take me for granted
What is our love, our love comin' to?, oh
It's about time for us to have a talk
And maybe I'm not satisfyin' you boy
You gotta tell me 'cause this ain't right
Why ain't you oh-be holding me tight?
Let's sit down, talk it over
Take that finger from your face
Look at me for goodness sake
Talk it over, talk about it, baby
I said let's talk about it, baby
Ooh, talk about it, baby
Let's talk it over, yeah
Hey, talk it over
Hey, baby come on over here
Talk it over with me, baby, yeah
Hey, talk it over, baby
Talk, talk, talk, talk it over
Talk, talk, talk it over with me
Hey, talk it over
(Kenneth Gamble / Leon Huff)
When I'm away from you, boy
All I seem to do is cry
Then, when I see you, boy
My, how the time does fly
I don't know if you need and love me
The way I love and need you
I just hope that we can get together soon, real soon
When I think about you, boy
Chills run up and down my spine
If my wish'd come true, boy
I'd be with you all the time
Wrong or right, day and night I miss you
And all my heart seems to do
Is just hope that we can get together soon, real soon
Wrong or right, day and night I miss you
And all my heart seems to do
Is just hope that we can get together soon
Oh, hope that we can get together soon
Oh, just hope that we, we can get together, baby
Hope that we can get together soon
I just hope that we, we can get together, baby
(Kenneth Gamble / Roland Chambers)
(Please)
(Let me get in your way)
Call me sad and blue
All I need is your good lovin'
Just to see me through
Call me lonely, too
You should never, ever make me
Need you like I do
Can't you see I'm not naggin', baby?
This heart of mine is just saggin', baby
Please
Let me get in your way
Just have somethin' to say to me

This heart of mine is just saggin', baby

I would be your water when your thirsty mouth was dry
I would be your sunshine when clouds are in the sky
I would stand that close beside you
And be your only friend
And I have promised love forever
There will be no end
Ooh, hoo, I'll be faithful
Ooh, hoo, I'll be true, too
Ooh, hoo, I'll be faithful, yes I will now
Ooh, hoo, oh my, true to you
Now I would be your music if you would like a song
I would sleep beside you when the winter's cold and long
I would be the pole to guide you, never would I bend
And I have promised love forever
There will be no end
Ooh, hoo, I'll be faithful, oh, yeah
Ooh, hoo, I'll be true too, mmm
Ooh, hoo, I'll be faithful, oh, yeah
Ooh, hoo, oh my, true to you, ooh, hoo

Ooh, hoo, oh my, true to you
(Bell / Creed / Gamble / Huff)
I was there when dreams came true
Stuck around when they fell through
Life's too short to play with your emotions
I gotta travel, I gotta travel
Said I wanna see the world
I wanna be a free girl
Said I wanna see the world
I gotta be a free girl, mmm
The silly games you played weren't new
Lost them all
But they beat you, too
There's no time for fooling with children
I gotta travel, I gotta travel
Said I wanna see the world
I gotta be a free girl
Yes, I wanna see the world
I gotta be a free girl, oh
Oh, life's too short to play with your emotions
I gotta travel, I gotta travel
Said I wanna see the world
I gotta be a free girl
Yes I wanna see the world
I gotta be a free girl
Yes I wanna see the world
I gotta be a free girl
Said I wanna see the world
(Ashford / Simpson / Holland)
Here's a tear
For a souvenir
And a dream
Torn at the seams
Here's a promise that you made to me of love
It's more than I'll ever see
And then you're free to go
But I can't give back the love I feel for you
Gonna be stuck with it no matter what I do
Take these eyes that once could see
Now reflections of my misery
And happiness I thought would last
Is now becoming just a thing of the past
But I can't give back the love
That's a part of me
If you want just a little bit
You'll have to take all of me
Simply adore
'Til the world don't go round no more
Here's the ring
That didn't mean a thing
And letters you wrote
That gave my young heart hope
Take the pillow where my dreams were made
And the mind where the thought of you stayed
But, baby, you should know
That I can't give back the love I feel for you
Gonna be stuck with it no matter what I do
Take these arms that held you close
And follow up the one you need the most
Take these hands no good to me
That used to touch you so tenderly
But I can't give back the love
That's a part of me
If you want just a little bit
You'll have to take all of me
No, I can't give back the love that I feel for you, yeah
Gonna be stuck with it no matter, no matter what I do
No, I can't give back the love that's a part of me, yeah
Gonna be stuck with it no matter, no matter what I, what I do
Gonna get stuck
Gonna get stuck
(Jeff Barry)
It's gone way beyond just lovin'
And for a long time now

Ooh, hoo
I can't eat right
I can't sleep nights
Oh, honey look at what you've done to me
Life is nowhere
And it's no fair
'Cause you've got me by the memory
Oh, now I feel you near me
And see your face
In my dreams
Every hour all night through
Oh, I'm haunted
Yes I'm haunted, haunted by you
There ain't no doubt
I can't get out
Of this trouble that you've got me in
If I hurt you
Didn't mean to
Oh, and I'm sorry
Ain't the word I've been
And if you don't come back to me pretty soon
I don't know what I'm gonna do
'Cause I'm haunted
Yes I'm haunted, haunted by you, woah, oh
Oh, I just can't forget you
'Cause you haunt me everywhere I go
Oh I'm begging you
Don't say no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
And if you don't come back to me pretty soon

Oh, haunted by you
Haunted by you
Haunted by you-hoo
Haunted by you
Oh, haunted by you
Baby, haunted by you
Ooh, by you
(Gamble / Huff / Butler)
This is my same old coat
And my same old shoes
I was the same old me
With the same old blues
Then you touched my life
Just by holding my hand
Now I look in the mirror
And see a brand new girl
I got a brand new walk
A brand new smile
Since I met you baby
I got a brand new style
Just because of you, boy
Just because of you
Just because of you, boy
Just because of you
I got the same old friends
They got the same old sins
I tell the same old jokes
Give the same old grins
But now the jokes sound new
And the laughter does too
Everyday of my life
As fresh as morning dew
Just because of you, boy
Just because of you
Just because of you, boy
Just because of you
Just because of you, boy
Just because of you
I go to the same old places
See the same old faces
Look at the same old skies
See them all with brand new eyes
(Ragavoy / Shuman)
What's it gonna be?
Please tell me
Is it really me?
Please tell me
Are you out for fun?
Only lovin' on the run
And leave me cryin', ahh, cryin'
What's it gonna be?
(Tomorrow)
Will he set me free?
(Tomorrow)
Gotta know for sure
A broken heart don't have a cure
It just keeps hurting, ahh, hurtin'
And when I'm hurtin'
I can't stop hurtin'
I want a love that's here to stay
Baby please
The kind of love that I can count on everyday
Ah, got a hold on me
You know it
What's it gonna be?
You know it
Want a love that's so
But I'll turn around and go
'Cause I can't take it
I can't take it
I can't face it
My heart won't make it
I want a love that's here to stay
Baby, believe me
The kind of love that I can count on everyday, mmm
(What's it gonna be?)
Mmm, tell me
(What's it gonna be?)
Baby, tell me
(What's it gonna be?)
Come on, baby
(What's it gonna be?)
Hey, hey, you gotta tell me
The look of love
Is in your eyes
The look your smile can't disguise
The look of love
Is saying so much more
Than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard
Well it takes my breath away
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
You've got the look of love
It's on your face
A look that time can't erase
Be mine tonight
Let this be just the start
Of so many nights like this
Let's take a lover's vow
And then seal it with a kiss
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Don't ever go
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Don't ever go
Don't ever go
I love you so
(Tom Springfield / Clive Westlake)
How many tears do you cry
If love should break your heart in two?
How many tears will I cry
Now that I know I'm losing you?
I can't stop wanting you
And no matter what you do
You're still a part of me
Even though I'm losing you, oh
How many years will go by
Before my heart begins to mend?
Waiting and wondering why
I never thought our love could end
I try forgetting you
But you're still here on my mind
It would take a miracle
But someday maybe I'll find
That I'm in the loving arms of someone
That I'll know, know he's the someone
Who'll kiss all the heartache away
And come that day
I won't mind losing you
Yes, I try forgettin' you
But you're still here on my mind
It would take, yeah, a miracle
But someday maybe I'll find
That I'm in the loving arms of someone
That I'll know, know he's the someone
Who'll kiss all the heartache away
And when he comes to me that day
I won't mind losing you, oh, oh
I won't mind losing you, yeah
(Buddy Kaye / Bea Verdi)
Little by little by little by little by little
Little by little by little by little by little
You're messing up my life
Tearing me apart
Breaking up my world
And I'm giving up my heart
Little by little by little by little
I'm losing all my pride
It's really getting bad
Hurting deep inside
Is a-making me go mad, ooh
Little by little by little by little
Little by little
Bit by bit
I'm going crazy and you're causing it
Little by little
Bit by bit
I should stop caring
But my love won't quit
Little by little by little by little by little, yeah
Little by little by little by little by little, all right
I don't know where to turn
Don't know what to do
I'm walking on thin ice
And it seems I'm falling through, ooh
Little by little by little by little
Little by little
Bit by bit
I'm going crazy and you're causing it
Little by little
Bit by bit
I should stop caring
But my love won't quit
I'm the queen of fools
Know the deck is stacked
On a losing streak
But I'm a-gonna get you back
Little by little by little by little
(Little by little by little by little by little)
Yeah, little by little
(Little by little by little by little by little)
Ah, ah, ah, little by little
(Little by little by little by little by little)
Little by little, mmm
(Little by little by little by little by...)
(Mark Barkan / Vic Millrose)
You belong
To somebody else and not to me
Right or wrong
That's not the way that it's gonna be
I want you so much inside
I'm throwin' away all my conscience and pride, and
I'll try anything to get you
I'll do anything I can
I'll try anything to get you
I'll cheat and I'll lie
And I'll try 'til I die
'Til I make you my man
Gonna make you my man
I've been burned
Whenever I've followed all the rules
So I've learned
That playing it fair is just for fools
I'm fighting and win or lose
I'm not minding my P's and Q's, and
I'll try anything to get you
I'll do anything I can
I'll try anything to get you
I'll cheat and I'll lie
Try 'til I die
'Til I make you my man
My man, hey, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I want you so much inside
I'm throwin' away all my conscience and pride, and
I'll try anything to get you
I'll do anything I can
I'll try anything to get you
I'll cheat and I'll lie
Try 'til I die
'Til I make you my man
Gonna make you my man
Gonna make you my man, yeah
Make you my man
Gonna fight 'til I die
(Melfa / Atmo / English lyrics by Peter Callendar)
If you'll only give me time
All the heartache that he left behind
Will fade from my mind
I'll be free to love again
If you'll only give me time
I'll forget I even knew his name
Forget that he came
I'll be no good till I can
Try to understand
But when I'm sure I need him no more
That's when I'll reach out for your hand
So darling give me time
And you will see that I'm
Ready to love you
Just as you love me
Wait awhile
'Til I can find my smile
And I'll be yours for as long as I live
If you'll only give me time, yeah
So darling give me time
And you will see that I'm
Ready to love you
Just as you love me, oh
Wait awhile
'Til I can find my smile
And I'll be yours for as long as I live
(Clive Westlake / Ben Wiesman)
I tried so hard
All summer through
Not to think too much of you
But the more I try
The more I find
I just can't leave the past behind
Times that are happy
Are times that are few
And once I was happy
When I had you
But days have come and gone
Since you were here
Nights are twice as long
Without you near
Pictures on my mind
Stand out so clear
No matter where I am
Or what I do
My darling
All I see is you
You're there in every dream
I ever dream
There at every place
I've ever been
Everyday I find
You're in my heart
And on my mind
I close my eyes
But I'm not blind
I see you still
And when I throw my arms out wide
I find that you're not by my side
But one thing is for sure
Until I do
All I see is you
Everyday I find
You're in my heart
And on my mind
I close my eyes
But I'm not blind
I see you still, oh
I won't live again
'Til I'm with you
Oh, darling
I won't love again
Unless it's with you
So until the day
When you are back with me to stay
In every way
Wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin'
Plannin' and dreaming each night of his charms
That won't get you into his arms
So if you're lookin' to find love you can share
All you gotta do is
Hold him and kiss him and love him
And show him that you care
Show him that you care just for him
And do the things he likes to do
Wear your hair just for him, 'cause
You won't get him
Thinkin' and a-prayin'
Wishin' and a-hopin'
Just wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin'
Plannin' and dreamin' his kiss is the start
That won't get you into his heart
So if you're thinkin' heartbreak
True love is
All you gotta do is
Hold him and kiss him and squeeze him and love him
Yeah, just do it and after you do, you will be his
You gotta show him that you care just for him
Do the things he likes to do
Wear your hair just for him, 'cause
You won't get him
Thinkin' and a-prayin'
Wishin' and a-hopin'
'Cause wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin'
Plannin' and dreamin' his kisses will start
That won't get you into his heart
So if you're thinkin' heartbreak
True love is
All you gotta do is
Hold him and kiss him and squeeze him and love him
Yeah, just do it and after you do, you will be his
You will be his
In your sleep you've been talkin'
Callin' every other name but mine
And that's not a very encouraging sign
In my arms, you've been restless
Thinkin' 'bout somebody else while holdin' me
Well, if you want me to set you free
You don't have to ask for my permission
I don't wanna live in a broken home
I can do without an explanation
You don't have to spend tonight alone
Oh, tell me
Who gets your love when I'm gone?
Will she kiss you with her eyes
Choose your ties, keep your pillow warm?
Baby, baby, who gets your love when I'm gone?
When I move into the house
Down the street where I started from?
Oh, who gets your love?
Oh, people talk, I hear rumours
My imagination, it runs away with me
Gonna lose you eventually
So I'll go, I'll make it easy
Give you back the need that I don't satisfy
Maybe she will better than I
You gotta tell me
Who gets your love when I'm gone?
Will she let you stay in bed
Rub your head, take the pain away?
Baby, baby, who gets your love when I leave?
When I've said my last goodbye
You'll know why I just couldn't stay
I just couldn't stay
Tell me who gets your love when I'm gone?
Will she love you, love you, love you
And will she keep your pillow so warm
Tell me who, when I go, when I leave?
When I'm walking down the street where I am
'Cause you treated me so badly
(Charles Aznavour / Herbert Kretzmer)
Who, when my life is through?
Who will know the joy
I have known with you?
Who will touch your face?
Sleep in your embrace?
Who will take my place
When I sleep alone?
Who, when the day is done?
Who will hold the hand
Of my only one?
Who will climb the heights?
Finding in your nights
All those wild delights
Only I have known
You say you'll always love me
Time has another claim
Why do the gods above me
Play the cynical game?
Oh, life, isn't what it seems
Fickle as the wind
Fragile as a dream
When I end my years
Who will ease my pain?
Kiss away my tears?
(Dianne Warren)
When my world is turning
When it's turning upside down
When all I see is rain
When I think the night won't end
I just think of you
And I can see the sun again
Wherever would I be without you?
If I didn't have you, if I didn't have you
Whatever would I do now, baby?
Wherever would I be without you?
I'd be nowhere, nowhere, I'd be nowhere, nowhere
When the dreams I dream all seem a million miles away
When I'm sure I'll never win
When it's looking like I've lost my faith
I just look at you baby, baby
And I got a reason to believe again, oh, oh
Wherever would I be without you?
If I didn't have you, ooh
Whatever would I do now, baby?
Wherever would I be without you?
I'd be nowhere, I'd be nowhere, I'd be nowhere
Without you to love me
Just be wasting time
Going out of my mind
Wherever would I be without you?
If I didn't have you, if I didn't have you
Whatever would I do now baby?
Wherever would I be?
I'd be nowhere, nowhere, I'd be nowhere, nowhere, oh, oh
Wherever would I be? Wherever would I be?
If I didn't have you, if I didn't, if I didn't, if I didn't have you, ah, ah
I'd be nowhere, I'd be nowhere
Where am I going?
And what will I find?
What's in this grab-bag
That I call my mind?
What am I doing
Alone on the shelf?
Ain't it a shame
But no-one's to blame but myself
Which way is clear
When you've lost your way
Year after year
Do I keep falling in love
For just the kick of it?
Staggering through
The thin and thick of it
Hating each old
And tired trick of it
Know what I am
I'm good and sick of it
Where am I going?
Why do I care?
Run where it's foul
Or run where it's fair
No matter where I run
I meet myself there
Looking inside me
What do I see?
Anger and hope and doubt
What am I all about?
And where am I going?
You tell me
When you've lost your way
Year after year
Do I keep falling in love
For just the kick of it?
Staggering through
The thin and thick of it
Hating each old
And tired trick of it
Know what I am
I'm good and sick of it
Where am I going?
Why do I care?
Run to the Bronx
Or Washington Square
No matter where I run
I meet myself there
Looking inside me
What do I see?
Anger and hope and doubt
What am I all about?
And where am I going?
Where am I going?
Where?

You always wanted a lover
I only wanted a job
I've always worked for a living
How'm I gonna get through?
How'm I gonna get through?
I come here looking for money
Got to have it
And end up living with love, oh, oh
Now you left me with nothing
Can't take it
How'm I gonna get through?
How'm I gonna get through?
I bought you drinks, I brought you flowers
I read you books and talked for hours
Every day, so many drinks
Such pretty flowers, so tell me
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
What have I, what have I, what have I ...
Since you went away I've been hanging around
I've been wondering why I'm feeling down
You went away, it should make me feel better
But I don't know, oh
How I'm gonna get through?
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
How I'm gonna get through?
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
You always wanted me to be something I wasn't
You always wanted too much, oh, oh
Now I can do what I want to - forever
How am I gonna get through?
How am I gonna get through?
At night, the people come and go
They talk too fast, and walk too slow
Chasing time from hour to hour
I pour the drinks and crush the flowers
What have I, what have I done to deserve this?
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
What have I, what have I, what have I ...
Since you went away I've been hanging around
I've been wondering why I'm feeling down
You went away, it should make me feel better
But I don't know, oh
How I'm gonna get through?, baby
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
How I'm gonna get through?, baby
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
How I'm gonna get through?, baby
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
How I'm gonna get through?, tell me
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
How I'm gonna get through?, baby
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
How I'm gonna get through?, ah-ah-ha
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
How I'm gonna get through?
How I'm gonna get through?
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
I'm gonna get through, baby
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
We don't have to fall apart, we don't have to fight
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
We don't need to go to hell and back every night
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
You never ever left me, baby, think of me...
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
Oh, babe
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
We don't have to fall apart, we don't have to fight
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
We don't need to go to hell and back every night
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
Gonna get through, baby, I'm gonna get
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
Forever
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
Gonna get through, baby, yeah,
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
Gonna get through, get through, baby, ooh
(Ellie Greenwich / Mike Rashkow)
You say you love me
More than you could ever love her,
But circumstance has made you stay by her side
You'll never leave her
God knows you've tried
But I understand
A man ain't nothing but a man
Why do I need you when we can't be together?
What good is "I want you", when you're passing me by?
I can't keep on saying "I love you" forever
What good is "I love you", when you're saying goodbye
No-one has ever made me so very happy
When we're together, baby
Everything is all right
But here on my pillow
Alone at night
My heart keeps on crying?
Something's telling me you're lying
Why do I need you when we can't be together?
What good is "I want you", when you're passing me by?
I can't keep on saying "I love you" forever
What good is "I love you", when you're saying goodbye
Why should I still love you
Why should I still keep thinkin' about you baby--thinkin' about you baby
Why should I cry
Oh why should I
What good is "I need you" when we can't be together?
What good is "I want you", when you're passing me by?
I can't keep on saying "I love you" forever
(Mary Unobsky / Donna Weiss)
I wake up in the morning crying
I reach out for you, yeah
I make coffee for one now
Instead of for two
My days are so empty baby
There's nothing for me to do
And the night lost it's meaning
The night I lost you
Help me baby
What do you when love dies?
Somebody help me, I'm losing my mind
What do you when love dies?
Somebody help me, I'm losing my mind
I run for the 1:10 uptown
The show starts at two
I'm surrounded by strangers
But I'm haunted by you
My life is without direction
Lost without you my love
The past is my shadow
My shadow is you
I ain't got nowhere to go
What do you do when love dies?
Somebody help me, I'm losing my mind
What do you do when love dies on you?
Somebody help me, I'm losing my mind, yes I am, yeah
Yeah, what do you do when love dies on you?
Somebody help me, I'm losing my mind, yeah, yeah
Somebody help me, I'm losing my mind
The past is my shadow
My shadow is you
Yeah, yeah
You can take all the tea in China
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail right around the seven oceans
Drop it straight into deep blue sea
He's as sweet as Tupelo honey
He's an angel of the first degree
He's as sweet as Tupelo honey
Just like honey baby, from the bee
You can't stop us on the road to freedom
You can't keep us 'cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor bent on chivalry
He's as sweet as Tupelo honey
He's an angel of the first degree
He's as sweet as Tupelo honey
Just like honey baby, from the bee
I heard a tale of old Manhattan
I've never been there but I want, want to go
Standing waiting on my number
And my number's gonna show
He's as sweet as Tupelo honey
He's an angel of the first degree
He's as sweet, he's as sweet as Tupelo honey
Just like honey baby, from the bee
He's as sweet as Tupelo honey
He's an angel of the first degree
He's as sweet as Tupelo honey
Love is lovelier
The second time around
Just as wonderful
With both feet on the ground
It's that second time
You hear your love song sung
Makes you think, perhaps
That love, like youth
Is wasted on the young
Love's more comfortable
The second time you fall
Like a friendly home
The second time you call
Who can say what led us to
This miracle we've found?
There are those who bet
Love comes but once, and yet
I'm oh so glad we met
The second time around
Love's more comfortable
The second time you fall
It's like a friendly home
The second time you call
I wanna ask you
What led us to this miracle we've found?
There are those who bet
Love comes but once, and yet
I'm oh so glad we met
Here in this town of dirt and greed
Playground where devils play
Here where I had the bad, bad luck to be born
Here I must stay
Here I belong, here I will die
Caught in the web of love
I can't escape, won't even try
My fate is tied with The Corrupt Ones
Especially with one guy
He came around when I was down
Opened new worlds for me
Gave him my love and dreamed of breaking
My chains of misery
But I was wrong, I soon would learn
Thinking I'd leave this town
Here he found wealth, money to burn
Not like the nowhere where he came from
And he would never return
Here I belong, here I will die
Caught in the web of love
I can't escape, won't even try
My fate is tied with The Corrupt Ones
Especially with one guy
I don't want your lonely mansion
With a tear in every room
All I want's to love you
Promise beneath the haloed moon
But you think I should be happy
With your money and your name
And hide myself in sorrow
While you play your cheating game
Silver threads and golden needles
Cannot mend this heart of mine
And I dare not drown my sorrow
In the warm glow of your wine
But you think I should be happy
With your money and your name
And hide myself in sorrow
While you play your cheating game
Silver threads and golden needles
Cannot mend this heart of mine
And I dare not drown my sorrow
In the warm glow of your wine
You can't buy my love with money
For I never was that kind
Silver threads and golden needles
Cannot mend this heart of mine
Silver threads and golden needles
Hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi
Gonna find me a piece of the sky
Gonna find me some of that old sweet roll
Singing, "Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-ho"
Listen, I've been down so low
That the bottom looked like up
Once I felt like second saves
Was enough to fill my cup
Now I've offered all I have
But it ain't no way to live
Being taken by the ones who have
The least amount to give
Singing, "Hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi"
Got to find me a piece of the sky
Gonna find me some of that old sweet roll
Singing, "Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho"
I wanna tell you, once I met the devil
He was mighty slick
Tempted me with worldly goods
Said I could have my pick
But when he laid the paper on me
And showed me where to sign
I said "Thank you" very kindly
But I'm in too great a need of mine
Singing, "Hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi", oh
Got to find me a piece of that sky
Gonna find me some of that old sweet roll
Singing "Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho", yeah
Hi-de-hi-de-ho
Hi-de-hi-de-ho, yeah
Hi-de-hi-de-ho
Hi-de-hi-de-hi
Stay awhile, let me hold you
Stay awhile ?til I?ve told you, oh, oh
Of the love that I feel tonight, oh yeah
Stay awhile, what?s your hurry?
Stay awhile ?cause I worry, oh
Any time that you?re out of sight
I hate to see you go
Tell you what I?ll do, I?ll be good to you
I?ll make you glad that you are mine
So come on baby
Treat me right, must you run now?
For the night?s just begun now, oh
Honey please, won?t you stay awhile with me?
Oh yeah, yeah
Oh, I hate to see you go
Tell you what I?ll do, I?ll be good to you
I?ll make you glad that you are mine
So come on baby
Treat me right, must you run now?
For the night?s just begun now, oh
Honey please, won?t you stay awhile with me?
In the cool of the evening
When everything is gettin' kind of groovy
You call me up and ask me
Would I like to go with you and see a movie?
First, I say no
I?ve got some plans for tonight
And then I stop and say all right
Love is kinda crazy
With a spooky little boy like you
You always keep me guessin'
I never seem to know what you are thinkin'
And if a girl looks at you
It?s for sure your little eye will be a-winkin'
I get confused
I never know where I stand
And then you smile and hold my hand
Love is kinda crazy
With a spooky little boy like you
Spooky
If you decide some day to stop
This little game that you are a-playin'
I?m gonna tell you all the things
My heart?s been a-dyin' to be sayin'
Just like a ghost
You?ve been a-hauntin' my dreams
But now I know you?re not what you seem
Love is kind of crazy
With a spooky little boy like you
Spooky
Spooky, spooky
billy ray was a preacher's son
and when his daddy would visit he'd come along
when they gathered 'round and started talking
that's when billy would take me walking
through the back yard we'd go walking
the he'd look into my eyes
and lord knows to my surprise
the only one who could ever reach me
was the son of a preacher man
the only boy who could ever teach me
was the son of a preacher man
yes he was, he was, mmmm yes he was
being good wasn't always easy
no matter how hard i tried
when he started sweet talking to me
he'd come and tell me everything was alright
he'd kiss and tell me everything was alright
can i get away again tonight
the only one who could ever reach me
was the son of a preacher man
the only boy who could ever teach me
was the son of a preacher man
yes he was, he was
lord oh he was yes he was
how well i remember
the look that was in his eyes
stealing kisses from me on sly
taking time to make time
telling me that he's all mine
learning from each other's knowing
looking to see how much we'd grown
and the only one who could ever reach me
was the son of a preacher man
the only boy who could ever teach me
was the son of a preacher man
yes he was he was oh yes he was
the only one who could ever reach me
he was a sweet talking son of a preacher man
the only boy who could ever teach me

repeat
She's a great little housewife
Though sometimes she talks like a fool
But she helps at the store in the holiday rush
And she picks up the kids after school
And she puts down the phone
When her husband comes home
And she changes from mother to wife
Till she feels the words hanging between them
And she hangs by her words to her life
She says, "I swear I love my husband
I love my kids
I wanted to be like my mother
But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did
Oh, there might have been time to be me for myself, for myself
So many things that she wishes
She don't even know what she's missing
And that's how she knows that she missed
She's a sweetheart except when she's moody
It's hard to get through to her then
Depressed for a while when the youngest was born
Ah, but that happens now and again
Ah, she might take a drink with the housework
Or when Michael's kept late at the shop
A martini or two before dinner
But she always knows when to stop
She says, "I swear I love my husband
And I love my kids
And, though I wanted to be like my mother
But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did
Oh, there might have been time to be me for myself, for myself
So many things that she wishes
She don't even know what she's missing
And that's how she knows that she missed
Oh, they used to hold hands at the movies
Now it's seldom, if ever they go
Once you pay for the sitter and parking the car
There's no money left for the show
She was doing the dishes
When a glass fell and broke on the tile
And she cut her wrist, quite by mistake
It was real touch and go for a while
She says, "Oh God, I love my husband
And I love my kids
Well, I wanted to be like my mother
But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did
Oh, there might have been time to be me for myself, for myself
So many things that she wishes
She don't even know what she's missing
Of all the things I've ever done
Finding you will prove to be the most important one
I would never trade the tears, the conversations no one hears
The learning how to walk before we've run
Of all the kites I ever flew
Most came tumbling down, except the one I sent up with you
I don't wanna change a thing, break the spell, cut the string
When every wish I made is coming true with you
Sometimes I forget
To say how much I love you
Purposely I bet
'Cause I'm so busy thinking of you
So, in this world of odds and ends, I'd rather have a part of you
Than all of my so called friends
You've taught me how to feel, what is false, what is real
Of all the things I ever wanna do, I think I'll start and end with loving you
Oh, you have taught me how to feel, what is false and what is real
Mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this, my mama said
(Mama said, mama said)
Mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this, my mama said
(Mama said, mama said)
I went walkin' the other day, yeah
Everything was goin' fine
And then I met a little boy named Billy Joe
And then I almost lost my mind
Come on, mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this, my mama said
(Mama said, mama said)
Oh, mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this, my mama said
My eyes were wide open
All that I could see, yeah
The Chapel bells were tollin'
For everybody but me but I don't worry 'cause
Mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this, my mama said
(Mama said, mama said)
Mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this, my mama said
And then she said
Someone would look at me
Like I'm lookin' at you, one day
Then I might find
I don't want you any old way
So, don't worry, 'cause
Mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this, my mama said
(Mama said, mama said)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Mama said there'll be days like this
There'll be days like this, my mama said
Oh, yeah
(Mama said, mama said)
Don't worry, yeah
(Mama said, mama said)
Don't worry, now
(Mama said, mama said)
Yeah-eah-eah-eah
I know some lovers would be satisfied
With sweet, 'I love yous' and some pretty lines
But that won't get you in this heart of mine
No, you'll never steal my heart away
With just words, sweet words that you say
It is all in the things that you do, I'm telling you
If you want me to believe that I'm the only one you need
I need lovin' proof, I need lovin' proof
(Lovin' proof, lovin' proof)
Baby, hold me in your arms and show me something from the heart
Give me lovin' proof, I need lovin' proof from you
(Oh, baby)
And if the love you got is strong and true
And if you love me like you say, you do
Your tender touch will tell the honest truth
And your kiss could never tell a lie
'Cause I'd see it in your eyes
There is one way to ease any doubt, I tell you now
If you want me to believe that I'm the only one you need
I need lovin' proof, I need lovin' proof
(Lovin' proof, lovin' proof)
Baby, I won't be impressed unless I get some tenderness
Give me lovin' proof, I need lovin' proof, oh, oh, from you, oh, oh
(I need lovin' proof)
If the love is right
(I need lovin' proof)
Prove it, prove it all night
(I need lovin' proof)
From you
'Cause you'll never steal my heart away
With just words, sweet words that you say
It is all in the things you do, I'm telling you, telling you, baby
If you want me to believe that I'm the only one you need
I need lovin' proof, I need lovin' proof
(Lovin' proof, lovin' proof)
Baby, hold me in your arms and tell me something from the heart
I need lovin' proof, give me lovin' proof, oh, oh, from you
(Lovin' proof)
If you want me to believe, I'm the only one you need
I need lovin' proof, lovin' proof
(I need lovin' proof)
Baby, hold me in your arms and show me, show me
(And tell me something from the heart)
Give me lovin' proof, I need lovin' proof
If you want me to believe I'm the only one you need
I need lovin' proof, lovin' proof
(Ooh, baby, baby)
Baby, hold me in your arms and show me something from the heart
Give me lovin' proof, I need lovin' proof
(Ooh, ooh, give me, give me, give me)
Just a little lovin'
Early in the morning
Beats a cup of coffee
For starting off the day
Just a little lovin'
When the world is yawning
Makes you wake up feeling
Good things are coming your way
This old world
Wouldn't be half as bad
It wouldn't be half as sad
If each and everybody in it had
Just a little lovin'
Early in the morning
That little extra something
To kinda see them through
Nothing turns the day on
Really gets it dawning
Like a little bit of lovin'
From some loving someone like you
This old world
Wouldn't be half as bad
It wouldn't be half as sad
If each and everybody in it had
Just a little lovin'
Early in the morning
Just a little lovin'
When the world is yawning
Just a little bit of lovin' ah
Oh, in the morning
Nothing turns the day on
Really gets it dawning
Make a little bit of lovin'
Hey, does anybody know
How I can get in touch with Joe?
If I have to catch a subway
Or catch a plane on a runway
I've got to find out some way
Where did he go?
Yesterday was bright and sunny
All his jokes were, oh, so funny
Now he's gone and left me
Honey, where did you go?
I've been searchin' here and there
Lookin' for you everywhere
'Cause your love I wanna share
Hey, does anybody know
How I can get in touch with Joe?
I will try to wait forever
It could take till the twelfth of never
How I pray we'd be together
Where did he go?
My heart was pure, how could you bruise it?
Gave him mine, he just used it
My mind was clear and he confused it
Where did he go?
I've been searchin' here and there
Lookin' for you everywhere
'Cause your love I wanna share
Hey, does anybody know
How I can get in touch with Joe?
Ooh, does anybody know
How I can get in touch with Joe?
I can get in touch with Joe?
Ooh Joey, Joey
Somebody tell me where did he go? Joe
If time were not a moving thing
And I could make it stay
This love we shared would always be
There'd be no coming day
No morning light above
To make me realize our love
Is over
And now you walk away from me
And there's no place to put my hand
Except to shade my eyes
Against the sun that comes to warm the land
I watch you walk away somehow
I have to let you go now
It's over
It's too late to tell you how
I feel our love was real
And yet, there are so many times
That people have to love and then forget
Though there might have been a way
I have to force myself to say
It's over
And so I walk away
And turn my collar to the wind
I walk along in silence
Trying not to think at all
I put my feet before me
Walk the silent street before me
It's over
If time were not a moving thing
And I could make it stay
This love we shared would always be
There'd be no coming day
No morning light above
To make me realize our love
Is over
It's over
It's over
I wander the streets
And the gay crowded places
Trying to forget you
But somehow it seems
That my thoughts ever stray
To our last sweet embraces
Over the sea on the island of dreams
High in the sky is a bird on a wing
Please carry me with you
Far far away from the mad rushing crowd
Please carry me with you
Again I would wander
Where memories enfold me
There on the beautiful island of dreams
High in the sky is a bird on a wing
Please carry me with you
Far far away from the mad rushing crowd
Please carry me with you
Again I would wander
Where memories enfold me
There on the beautiful island of dreams
You gotta wake up
You don't commit to me, you won't make a start
You don't tell me, no, you haven't got the heart
You sit in a chair or you lie in bed
With a faraway stare and a swollen head
Well, listen here, my lover, I have had enough
And I can tell you, brother, I could fall in love
With someone who looks a lot like you
But gets up and does what he's thinking of
I can't wait another day
I can give and I can take
There's a choice you have to make
So many times things pass you by
Imagination running wild
You've got to start choosing right from wrong
Instead of daydreaming all day long
I want to catch a plane to an open space
I want to feel the sun shining on my face
But time is short and waiting is long
And my patience is exhausted
I'm just not that strong
I want to see the parade, you wanna watch TV
So we don't do either, it's insanity
You say there's plenty of time and life is good
So you never make your mind up
Well, you never could
I can ask you when or why
And you'll look up to the sky
The parade is marching by
So many times things pass you by
Imagination running wild
You've got to start choosing right from wrong
Instead of daydreaming all day long
Daydreaming, oh, oh, daydreaming, daydreaming
You gotta wake up, you gotta wake up
(Leave me alone, I'm only dreaming)
You gotta wake up, you gotta wake up
(Leave me alone, I'm only dreaming)
You gotta wake up, you gotta wake up
(I'm only dreaming)
Oh, oh
I can't wait another day
I can give and I can take
There's a choice you have to make, oh, oh
So many times things pass you by
Imagination running wild
You've got to start choosing right from wrong
Instead of daydreaming all day long
So many times things pass you by
Imagination running wild
You've gotta choose right from wrong
Instead of daydreaming all night long
(Daydreaming)
So many times
(Daydreaming)
Things pass you by
(Daydreaming)
You've gotta choose right from wrong
(Daydreaming)
In the land of make believe
You're mine tonight although you are far away
In the land of make believe
I'm holding you tight
The silver moon is shining above
And there's love in your eyes
And I'm kissing you like I used to do
Yesterday in paradise
I've been livin' in the land of make believe
Since you've been gone
I need you so much that without your love
I must deceive myself to go on
Your loving hand caresses my face
We embrace tenderly
Never will we part, deep down in my heart
You are always here with me
You are always here with me
In the land of make believe
In the land of make believe
In the land of make believe
Your loving hand caresses my face
We embrace tenderly
Never will we part, deep down in my heart
You are always here with me
You are always here with me
In the land of make believe
In the land of make believe
In the land of make believe
How can I be sure?
In a world that's constantly changing
How can I be sure?
Where I stand with you
Whenever I
Whenever I am away from you
I wanna die
'Cause you know I wanna stay with you
How do I know?
Maybe you're trying to use me
Flying too high can confuse me
Touch me, but don't take me down
Whenever I
Whenever I am away from you
My alibi is telling people
I don't care for you
Maybe I'm just hanging round
With my head up, upside down
It's a pity for you
I can't seem to find somebody new that's as
Wonderful baby as you
How can I be sure?
I really, really, really, wanna know
Really, really, wanna know , yeah
Also whether
Whether or not we're together
Together will seem that much better
I love you, I love you forever
You know where I can be found
How can I be sure?
In a world that's constantly changing
How can I be sure
(Guess who?)
Where's the girl who hurt herself last night?
(Guess who?)
Didn't kiss you and thought she was right
Everyone had told me
Be careful when he holds me
And I was
(Guess who?)
Had to listen to all that she hears
(Guess who?)
Has a pillow that's all wet with tears
You were oh-so tender
But I wouldn't surrender
Now you're gone
I told my friends "He'll never get my heart"
And when I kissed you
Had to resist you
Said "Better go"
I hurt you so
Wished you had stayed
But I made you go away
(Guess who?)
Tried to be much too cool yesterday
(Guess who?)
Let the boy that she loves get away
I never should have listened
'Cause now your love I'm missin'
It's too late
Woah, it's too late, ahh, ha
I never should have listened
'Cause now your love I'm missin'
It's too late
Oh, it's too late
Ah, oh, ah, ah, oh
I think I'm goin' back
To the things I learned so well in my youth
I think I'm returning to
Those days when I was young enough to know the truth
Now there are no games to only pass the time
No more coloring books, no Christmas bells to chime
But thinking young and growing older is no sin
And I can play the game of life to win
I can recall the time
When I wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend
And now I think I've got
A lot more than a skipping rope to lend
Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glide
And everyday can be my magic carpet ride
And I can play hide and seek with my fears
And live my days instead of counting my years
Let everyone debate the true reality
I'd rather see the world the way it used to be
A little bit of freedom's all we lack
The Springfields
Don't stand there wailing "got no place to go"
Come on home
You look at me like that and I can't say no
Come on home
Well, I know you done me wrong
And I know I should be strong
But, I cried the whole night long
So, come on home
Come on home
Tell me baby, must you be so cruel?
Come on home
You treat me just like I'm some kind of fool
Come on home
Well, I know you let me down
I was glad when you left town
But, you're good to have around
So, come on home
Don't run away now
Come on home
You got your way now
Come on home
A-hear what I say now
Come on home
Come on home
When you smile at me well I feel so good
Come on home
I can't be mad at you like I know I should
Come on home
Well you took me for a ride
And I thought my love had died
Still I need you by my side
So come on home
Come on home
Come on home
Come on home
Come on home
Come on home
Yeah, when you smile at me well I feel so good
Come on home
I can't be mad at you a-like I know I should
Come on home
Well, you took me for a ride
And I thought my love had died
Still, I need you by my side
So, come on home
Said yes
Come on home
Sit down
Come on home
You've been cryin', your face is a mess
Come in, baby, you can dry the tears on my dress
She's hurt you again, I can tell
Oh, I know that look so well
Don't be shy
You've been here before
Pull your shoes off, lie down
And I will lock the door
And no one has to know
You've come here again
Darling, it will be like it's always been before
Come on over here
Breakfast in bed and a kiss or three
You don't have to say you love me
Breakfast in bed, nothing need be said
Ain't no need
What's your hurry? Please don't eat and run
You can let her wait, my darling, it's been so long
Since I've had you here, you will come again
Darling it will be like it's always been before, hey child
Breakfast in bed and a kiss or three
You don't have to say you love me
Breakfast in bed, nothing need be said
Breakfast in bed and a kiss or three
You don't have to say you love me
Breakfast in bed, nothing need be said, yeah
The Springfields
Breakaway, my heart is cryin'
Breakaway, the time is flyin'
So, I'm gonna tell myself don't sit and mourn
Lookin' sad and so forlorn
Tell myself I'm glad I'm born
Well, I'm gonna breakaway
Breakaway, the breeze is sighin'
Breakaway, the time is flyin'
So, I'm gonna pack a bag and get my coat
Lock my door and leave a note
Take a train or take a boat
Well, I'm gonna breakaway
I'll take me round from town to town
I'll see the friends I knew
I left 'em by the wayside
But I know their hearts are true
I'll give myself a holiday
I need it oh-so bad
And if I find a new love
I'll be glad, glad, glad
Breakaway, my heart is cryin'
Breakaway, the time is flyin'
So, I'm gonna find out what this world can give
While I'm young I'm gonna live
That's my plan, I'm positive
Well, I'm gonna breakaway
I'll take me round from town to town
I'll see the friends I knew
I left 'em by the wayside
But, I know their hearts are true
I'll give myself a holiday
I need it oh-so bad
And if I find a new love
I'll be glad, glad, glad
Breakaway, my heart is cryin'
Breakaway, the time is flyin'
So, I'm gonna find out what this world can give
While I'm young I'm gonna live
That's my plan, I'm positive
Well, I'm gonna breakaway
Gonna breakaway
Gonna breakaway
Breakaway
Such a bad case of the blues
I thought that you would be
A little different when it came to lovin' me
Now, I see I was living a dream
'Cause all I do is cry and kiss your love goodbye
Got a bad case of the blues
It's what I get from lovin' you
Such a bad case of the blues
It's what I get from lovin' you
I thought that I would never see
How it feels to live a life of misery
I don't have anything to look forward to
But miss the love I've lost and pay the loser's cost
Got a bad case of the blues
It's what I get from lovin' you
Such a bad case of the blues
It's what I get from lovin' you
Now all I do is cry
And kiss your love goodbye, hey
Got a bad case of the blues
It's what I get from lovin' you, babe
Such a bad case of the blues
It's what I get from lovin' you
Got a bad case of the blues
It's what I get from lovin' you
Such a bad case of the blues
It's what I get from lovin' you, yeah
Got a bad case of the blues
It's what I get from lovin' you, babe
Such a bad case of the blues
It's what I get from lovin' you
Find me a rose
That never fades and dies
And I'll show you a man
Who never, ever cheats and lies
Find me a star and if you can prove
The star you've found just never disappears
I'll show you a man
Who'll never, never ever, ever bring you tears
Another night, when I'm all alone
Another night without him
Another night, when I stay at home
And worry so about him
Oh, I love him
And my love makes me cry
I need him
If he doesn't come back, I know I'll surely die
Find me a cloud
That never brings you rain
And I'll show you a man
Who never, ever brings you pain
Find me a bird and if you can prove
The bird you've found has wings and still can't fly
I'll show you a man
Who'll never, never, ever, ever leave you high and dry
Another night, when I'm all alone
Another night without him
Another night, when I stay at home
And worry so about him
Oh, I love him
And my love makes me cry
I need him
If he doesn't come back, I'll die
And he'll never, never, never
Never leave you high and dry
Another night, when I'm all alone
Another night without him
Another night, when I stay at home
And worry so about him
Another night, another night, yeah
I'm so alone, baby, another night
Why don't you stop
And look me over?
Am I the same girl
You used to know?
Why don't you stop
And think it over?
Am I the same girl
Whom you hurt so?
I'm the one you want
And I'm the one you need
I'm the one you love
The one you used to meet
Around the corner everyday
We would meet and slip away
But we were much too young
To love each other this way
Am I the same girl?
Yes I am, yes I am
Am I the same girl?
Yes I am, yes I am
Why don't you stop
And look me over?
Am I the same girl
You used to know?
Why don't you stop
And think it over?
Am I the same girl
Whom you hurt so?
I'm the one you hurt
And I'm the one you need
I'm the one who cried
The one you used to need
But you are pretending you don't care
But the fire, ahh, is still there
But we are no longer too young
To love each other this way
Am I the same girl?
Yes I am, yes I am
Am I the same girl?
Yes I am, yes I am
Oh, yes I am
Am I the same girl?
(Yes I am, yes I am)
Am I the same girl?, yeah
(Yes I am, yes I am)
Oh, yes I am
Am I the same girl?
(Yes I am, yes I am)
I stayed up cryin' all night
I knew the end was in sight
And now you're walkin' out on me
You're wonderin' where the little tears can be
Well, baby, I'm all cried out, I'm all cried out
All my little tears are all dried out, oh, yeah
Now, that you say we're through
I'm all cried out over you
Last night, I knew we were through
It hurt 'cause I still loved you
Went home and couldn't fall asleep
'Cause sleep just won't come into eyes that weep
And that's why I'm all cried out, I'm all cried out
All my little tears are all dried out, oh, yeah
Now that you say we're through
I'm all cried out over you, oh, yeah
I'm all cried out
I just can't stop no more, no, no
No, no, no, no, oh
All cried out
And that's why, I'm all cried out
Yes, I'm all cried out
All my little tears are all dried out, oh, yeah
Now that you say we're through
I'm all cried out over you
Listen to me when I'ma gonna say
I'm all cried out, yeah, over you
Listen to me when I'ma tellin' you
Mmm, when you're down and troubled
And you need some love and care
And nothing, oh nothing, is going right
Just close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running (oh yeah), to see you again, oh, oh
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend
You've got a friend
If the sky up above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old cold, north wind begins to blow, oh, oh, oh
Just keep your head together
And call my name out loud
Soon, you'll hear me knocking at your door, ooh, hoo
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come run, run, run, run, running to see you again, oh, oh
Winter, spring, summer or fall, yeah
Said all you have to do is call
And I'll be there
Oh, ain't it good to know that
You've got a friend?
When people can be so cold
They'll hurt you, yes, and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, but don't you let them, ha
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running, running, run, running to see you again, ooh, hoo
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend, oh, baby
You've got a friend, oh, oh, baby
You've got a friend, ooh, honey
You got, you got a friend, ooh, hoo
You've got a friend
When I said "I needed you",
you said you would always stay.
It wasn't me who changed, but you,
and now you've gone away.
Don't you see that now you've gone,
and I'm left here on my own,
then I have to follow you, and beg you to come home.
You don't have to say you love me,
just be close at hand.
You don't have to stay forever, I will understand.
Believe me, believe me, I can't help but love you,
but believe me, I'll never tie you down.
Left alone with just a memory,
life seems dead and so unreal,
all that's left is loneliness,
there is nothing left to feel.
You don't have to say you love me,
just be close at hand.
You don't have to stay forever, I will understand.
Believe me, believe me!
You don't have to say you love me,
just be close at hand.
You don't have to stay forever, I will understand.
Believe me, believe me, believe me!
Willie and Laura Mae Jones
Were our neighbors a long time back
They lived right down the road from us
In a shack just like our shack
The people worked the land together
And we learned to count on each other
When you live off the land
You don't have the time to think about another man's color
The cotton was high
And the corn was growing fine
But that was another place and another time
Sit out on the front porch
In the evening when the sun went down
Willie would play and the kids would sing
And everybody would mess around
Daddy'd bring out his guitar
And play on through the night
Every now and then ol' Willie would grin and say
"Hey, you play all right"
Made me feel so good
I remember the best times of all
When Saturday came around
We all would stop by Willie's house and say
"Do y'all need anything from town?"
He'd say "no, but why don't y'all
Stop on the way back through?
And I'll get Laura Mae, yeah, to cook up some barbecue"
And you know that's good
The cotton was high
And the corn was growing fine, yes it was
But that was another place and another time
Oh, the years rolled past the land
And took back what they'd given
We all knew we had to move
If we were gonna make a living
So we all moved off
And went about our separate ways
It sure was hard to say goodbye
To Willie and Laura Mae, oh yeah
(Jones)
The cotton was high
And the corn was growing fine, yes, it was
But that was another place and another time
I remember so well
The cotton was high
And the corn was growing fine, yes, it was
(The cotton looked so fine)
But that was another place and another time
(willie hutchinson)
Though you hold me the same old way
Your tenderness, oh, is fading fast
And i keep waiting, anticipating
Which moment you will choose to be our last
And i'll be left with nothing but the thought of you, oh
So clearly, i can see that day coming
And when you're resting in the arms of someone new
And i'll be running around and searching for you
Wondering where can you be?
Who could be loving you other than me?, baby, baby, baby
Where can you be?
Who could be loving you other than me?
You used to tell me, very, very much how much you loved me
And i could always depend on you
You needed a friend so i took you in
But i get the feelin' now that, darling, we're through
Now, i wish there was something i could say or try to do
But i'm afraid it would only make matters worse
I can feel your love fading for me
'cause i know so well how it used to be
And i'm wondering where can you be?
Who could be loving you other than me?
Oh, darling, where can you be?
Who could be loving you other than me?
Now, i can give up material things
'cause they're not a necessity to me
But when it comes to givin' up the only love
I've ever known
I just don't think my heart would agree
Tell me, where can you be?
Who could be loving you other than me?
Listen baby, where can you be?
Who could be loving you other than me?
Darling, darling
Where can you be?
Who could be loving you better and sweeter than me?
Oh, where can you be?
Who could be loving you?
Do, da, do, da, do, da, do, da, day
Ahh, do, da, do, da, do, da, do, da, day
Maybe he was wrong, maybe I wasn't right
Whatever the reason I'm on my own tonight
He's gone his way and I've gone mine
Well I bet you heat that story all the time
Well, sometimes your friends ain't always available
To pick you up when you're feelin' down, down, down, oh
My daddy would die if he knew his baby
Was seekin' refuge in a little ol' bar across town
So tell me where is a woman to go?
When she's feelin' low and all she wants to do
Is feel a little better
Tell me where is a woman to go?
When she's feelin' low and all she wants to do
Is feel a little better
Hey, bartender, honey gimme change for a ten-dollar bill
Bring it back as a stack of quarters, if you will
'Cause I'm gonna play every song on your jukebox that makes me cry
Gonna find out how many tears ten dollars can buy, oh
Gonna find out how many tears ten dollars can buy
Tell me where is a woman to go?
When she's feelin' low and all she wants to do
Is feel a little better
Tell me where is a woman to go?
When she's feelin' low and all she wants to do
Is feel a little better
Tell me where is a woman to go?
When she's feelin' low and all she wants to do
Is feel a little better
Tell me where is a woman to go?
When she's feelin' low and all she wants to do
Is feel a little better
Do, da, do, da, do, da, do, da, day
Do, da, do, da, do, da, do, da, day
I said
What are you doing the rest of your life?
North and south and east and west of your life
I have only one request of your life
That you spend it all with me
All the seasons and the times of your days
All the nickels and the dimes of your days
Let the reasons and rhymes of your days
All begin and end with me
I want to see your face
In every kind of light
In fields of dawn
And forests of the night
And when you stand before the candles on a cake
Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make
Those tomorrow's waiting deep in your eyes
And the world of love you keep in your eyes
I'll awaken what's asleep in your eyes
It may take a kiss or two
Through all of my life
Summer, winter, spring and fall of my life
All I ever will recall of my life
Though I'd rather go and journey
Where the diamond crescents, glowing
Run across the valleys
Beneath the sacred mountain
And wander through the forest
Where the trees of leaves are prisms
That break the light of day into colors
No one knows the names of
And when it's time
I go and wait beside
A legendary fountain
'Til I see your form reflected
In its clear and jeweled water
And if you think I'm ready
You may lead me to the chasm
Where the rivers of our vision
Flow into one another
And I'll stay awhile and wonder at
The myths that they've created
And lose myself within it
Cleanse my mind and body
And I know at the moment
As I stand in that cathedral
I will want to dive in
The white cascading water, water, water
He may beg and he may plead
And he may argue with his logic
He can mention all the things I'll lose
That really have no value
Though I doubt that he will ever come
To understand my meaning
In the end he'll surely know
I was not born to follow
I was not born to follow
I wasn't born to follow, no, no
I wasn't born to follow
I wasn't born to follow, no, no
Dearest, darlin'
I had to write to say that I won't be home anymore
For something happened to me
As I was driving home
And I'm not the same anymore
Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa
Oh, only one day away from your arms
I saw the welcoming light
And stopped to rest for the night
And that is when I saw him
As I pulled in outside of a small hotel
He was there
And so I walked up to him
Asked where I could get something to eat
And he showed me where
Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa
Oh, only one day away from your arms
He took me to the cafe
And he asked me if I would stay
I said "Okay"
Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa
Oh, only one day away from your arms
The jukebox started to play
And nighttime turned into day
As we were dancing closely
All of a sudden I lost control as he held me tight
And then he kissed me, caressed me
Told me he would die before he would let me out of his arms
Oh, I was only twenty-four hours from Tulsa
Oh, only one day away from your arms
I hate to do this to you
But I've found somebody new
What can I do?
Tu che ne sai
Delle volte che ho pianto per te
Un amore non pu?venir quando un amor ?cos?Non dirmi pi?di rifarmi una vita sei tu
Questa sera mi fai morir
Mi fai morir di dolor
What do you know
About the times I've cried over you?
There can't be love when it's a love like this
Stop telling me to start a new life - it's you
This evening you are killing me
Making me die of pain
A chi dar?le mie lacrime, yeah
A chi dar?le mie lacrime
Chi le vorr?le mie lacrime chi le vorr?
Who will I give my tears to?, yeah
Who will I give my tears to?
Who will want my tears, who will want them?
Non hai capito
Mi stai lasciando
E proprio quando, quando
Ho bisogno di te di te
You don't understand
You're leaving me
Just when, just when
I need you, you
Ma tu che ne sai
Delle volte che ho pianto per te
Ora va non ti voglio pi?Tu che ne sai del mio amor
But what do you know
About the times I've cried over you?
Now go, I don't want you anymore
What do you know about my love?
A chi dar?le mie lacrime, yeah
A chi dar?le mie lacrime
Chi le vorr?le mie lacrime chi le vorr?
Ma chi le vorr?Ma chi le vorr?
Who will I give my tears to?, yeah
Who will I give my tears to?
Who will want my tears, who will want them?
Who will want them?
Who will want them?

Ma chi le vorr? yeah
Ma chi le vorr?Ma chi le vorr?Ma chi le vorr? yeah

Ma chi le vorr? yeah
Ma chi le vorr? yeah
Who will I give my tears to?, yeah

Who will want my tears, who will want them?
Who will want them?, yeah
Who will want them?
Who will want them?
Who will want them?, yeah
Who will want them?
Who will want them?, yeah

Lyrics by Alan Bergman and Marilyn Bergman
Round,
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel,
Never ending on beginning,
On an ever-spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain,
Or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that's turning
Running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes on its face
And the world is like an apple
Spinning silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind!
Like a tunnel that you follow
To a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern
Where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps revolving
In a half-forgotten dream
Like the ripples from a pebble
Someone tosses in a stream.
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes on its face
And the world is like an apple
Spinning silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind!
Keys that jingle in your pocket
Words that jangle in your head
Why did summer go so quickly?
Was it something that I said?
Lovers walk along a shore
And leave their footprints in the sand
Was the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand?
Pictures hanging in a hallway
or the fragment of a song,
half-remembered names and faces
but to whom do they belong?
When you knew that it was over
Were you suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
To the color of her hair?
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
As the images unwind
Like the circles that you find
Hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi
Gonna find me a piece of the sky
Gonna find me some of that old sweet roll
Singing, "Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-ho"
Listen, I've been down so low
That the bottom looked like up
Once I felt like second saves
Was enough to fill my cup
Now I've offered all I have
But it ain't no way to live
Being taken by the ones who have
The least amount to give
Singing, "Hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi"
Got to find me a piece of the sky
Gonna find me some of that old sweet roll
Singing, "Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho"
I wanna tell you, once I met the devil
He was mighty slick
Tempted me with worldly goods
Said I could have my pick
But when he laid the paper on me
And showed me where to sign
I said "Thank you" very kindly
But I'm in too great a need of mine
Singing, "Hi-de-ho, hi-de-hi", oh
Got to find me a piece of that sky
Gonna find me some of that old sweet roll
Singing "Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho", yeah
Hi-de-hi-de-ho
Hi-de-hi-de-ho, yeah
Hi-de-hi-de-ho
Hi-de-hi-de-hi
(kenneth gamble / leon huff)
Used to be a time
When i wasn't doin' so good
But that was because i never understood
Just how much in love with me you were
But you paid your dues
Now i'm devoted to you
You're the star of my show
Always want you to do an encore
You're the star of my show, ooh, baby, baby
Used to be a time
When i wouldn't give reaction
Now, baby you're the centre of attraction
See your name shinin' brighter than the sun
Oh, you started at the bottom
And now you're number one
You're the star of my show
Always want you to do encore
You're the star of my show, ooh, hoo, baby, baby, baby, baby
Ooh, baby, baby, baby
Now you're the star, yes you are
You're the star, yes you are
You're the star, yes you are
You're the star, yes you are
Ooh, baby, baby, baby, baby
You're the star in my book
You started at the bottom
Now you're number one
Oh, you're the star in
Oh, yes you are
You're the star in
Yes you are
Such a silly, silly
Silly, silly fool am I
Oh, I'm just a silly, silly
Silly, silly fool am I
Hey, I should have never fallen
Back in love with you
Knowin' how you get a pleasure
Breakin' my poor heart in two
You made it sound so convincin'
When you said, "I'm your woman, you're my man"
Now I really need you
And I sit here a loser again
I guess I'm just a silly, silly
Silly, silly fool am I
Oh, I, I'm such a silly, silly
Silly, silly, fool am I
I should have never trusted
In my heart to lead the way
Now my mind is all busted
That's a fool's price to pay
You made it sound so convincin'
When you said, "You'd never, never go away"
I should have never listened
To anything you had to say
I'm such a silly, silly, silly, silly
Silly, silly fool am I
Yes, I am, I'm such a silly, silly
Silly, silly fool am I, oh
Such a silly, silly, dilly
Silly, dilly fool am I
Oh, yeah, I'm such a silly, silly, silly
Silly, silly fool am I
Oh, yes, I am, I'm such a silly, silly, dilly
Silly, dilly, silly fool am I, oh yeah
I'm such a silly, dilly, silly, dilly
Silly fool am I, oh
When you passed my way
It seemed my lucky day
The world was oh-so fine
Once upon a time
We walked for a little while
You smiled that special smile
And when we said goodnight
You held me oh-so tight
Then you found someone new
And I spent my nights alone
'Cause now we're through
There's nothing I can do
I gotta say forget
Forget him, forget him
'Cause he's no good
No, no
Now, when you pass my way
I guess I'll smile and say
To think that boy was mine
Once upon a time
To think that boy was mine
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
Woh, oh, once upon a time
Mandy's in the papers 'cause she tried to go Spain
She'll soon be in the dock and in the papers once again.
Vicki's got her story about the mirror and the cane
It may be false
it may be true
but nothing has been proved.
Stephen's in his dressin-gown now
breakfasting alone
Too sick to eat
he's on his feet and to the telephone.
The polioce inspector soothes him with his sympathetic tone
It may be false
it may be true
but nothing has been proved.
In the house a resignation
guilty faces
every one
Christine's fallen out with Lucky
Johnny's got a gun.
Please pleas me
's number one.
Now Stephen's in the dock for spending money
that was earned by Christine.
And the prosecution says
that money burned a hole in Stephen's pocket
For expensive sins he yearned
It may be false
it may be true
but nothing has been proved.
In the news the suicide note
in the court an empty space
Even Mandy's looking worried
Christine's pale and dawn.
Please please me
's number one.
Last night he wrote these words to his friend:
Sorry about the mess,I'm guilty 'til proved innocent in the public eye and press.
The funeral's very quiet because all his friends have fled
They may be false
they may be true
They've all got better things to do.
They may be false
they may be true
But nothing has been proved
Well, well, I once believed
All fellas were nice
But, girls, listen to me
And take my advice
A-girls, you'd better get yourselves
On the right track
'Cause finding a good man
Girls is like finding a
(Needle in a haystack)
A-what did I say, girls?
(Needle in a haystack)
Girls, those fellas are sly, slick and shy, yeah
Oh, don't you ever let them catch you looking starry-eyed
They'll tell you that their love is true
And they'll walk right over you
Now, girls, you'd better know these things
A-right off a-the bat
'Cause finding a good man
Girls, is like finding a
(Needle in a haystack)
What did I say, girls?
(Needle in a haystack)
Well, now girls, I say
I'm tellin' you the natural facts
'Cause finding a good man
Girls, is like finding a
(Needle in a haystack)
What did I say, girls?
(Needle in a haystack)
I'm telling you, girl
You'd better look before you leap
Still water sometimes is very deep
You'll be in sorrow when you discover
That you're just his pastime lover
Girls, you'd better know these things
A-right off a-the bat
'Cause finding a good man
Girls, is like finding a
(Needle in a haystack)
What did I say, girls?
(Needle in a haystack)
I say you'd better take heed
(Needle in a haystack)
And listen to me
(Needle in a haystack)
You'd better play hard to get
Or you're gonna regret
The day you were born, yeah
A-when he leaves you alone
I bet, you'd better regret
There is a garden
Something like the shadow of a butterfly
And lies beyond the gates of dark and light
And, darling, it belongs to me
When you go there
There will be such laughter in the dimpled sky
The songs you sing will drive away the night
The magic garden has a way of making you feel free
It's the place I've made for you
From match-boxes and cards and dominoes
And it won't fall down
And when your dreaming vanishes
Like snowflakes in the summer sky
Melts away in darkness
And you don't know why the magic garden
Waits without the gates wide open
And, darling, I'll be standin' just inside
And when your dreaming vanishes
Like snowflakes in the summer sky
Melts away in darkness
And you don't know why the magic garden
Waits without the gates wide open
And, darling, I'll be standin' just inside
It's so soft and warm
Behind those hedges
No hard edges, no hard edges
There is a garden
Vanishes like snowflakes in the summer sky
Melts away in darkness
And you don't know why the magic garden
Waits without the gates wide open
Where does our love lie
In the middle of nowhere?
Will it soon pass me by
In the middle of nowhere?
Baby, won't you tell me
What am I to do?
I'm in the middle of nowhere
Getting nowhere with you
Mmm, where did my heart land
In the middle of nowhere?
Where are the dreams I planned
In the middle of nowhere?
Listen to me, baby
Listen to my plea
I'm in the middle of nowhere
And it's worrying me
Over and over again
You tell me you need my love
If what you say is true
Why can't we be together?
Over and over you tell me
I'm all that you're thinking of
Baby, you know that I love you
But I can't wait forever
Where does our love lie
In the middle of nowhere?
How can you let it die
In the middle of nowhere?
Are you gonna leave me
Leave my heart astray?
I'm in the middle of nowhere
Come and show me the way
Over and over again
You tell me you need my love
Baby, you know that I love you
But I can't wait forever
Where does our love lie
In the middle of nowhere?
How can you let it die
In the middle of nowhere?
Are you gonna leave me
And leave my heart astray?
I'm in the middle of nowhere
Come and show me the way
Hey, where does our love lie?
Come on now
Where does our love lie?
Right slap in the middle of nowhere
Right slap in the middle of nowhere
Right slap in the middle of nowhere
Take your time and tell me
Where you lie
I realize
That we've been found out this time
We should stay together
If we can
But what you've planned
Means there's a difference between
What you're gonna say
In private
You still want my love
We're in this together
And what you're gonna do
In public
Say, you were never in love
That you can't remember
So discreet
(She's so discreet)
I never tried to meet
(She never)
Your friends or interfere
(No)
I took a back seat
(Back seat)
Between
And what you gonna say
In private?
You still want my love
We're in this together
And what you're gonna do
In public
Say, you were never in love
That you can't remember
What you gonna say, ay
When you run back to your wife?
I guess it's just the story of my life
What you gonna say?
So take your time
And tell me
Where did you learn
Oh, I may publicize
(No)
That there's a difference
(Difference)
Between
And what you're gonna say
In private?
You still want my love
We're in this together
And what you're gonna do
In public
Say, you were never in love
That you can't remember
Tell me, what you're gonna say
In private?
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
You still want my love
We're in this together
(What you're gonna say, what you're gonna do?)
What you're gonna do
(Yeah)
In private?
(What you're gonna say?)
Broken windows
In empty hallways
A pale dead moon in a sky streaked with gray
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's goin' to rain today
Scarecrows dressed
In the latest styles
With frozen smiles to chase love away
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's goin' to rain today
Lonely
Lonely
Tin can at my feet
Kick it down the street
And that's the way to treat a friend
Right before me
The signs implore me
Help the needy and show them the way
Human kindness is overflowing
I don't know what it is that makes me love you so.
I only know I never wanna let you go
'Cos you started something, can't you see.
Ever since we met you've had a hold on me.
I happens to be true, I only want to be with you.
It doesn't matter where you go or what you do.
I wanna spend each moment of the day with you.
Look what has happened with just one kiss.
I never knew that I could be in love like this.
It's crazy but it's true5 I only want to be with you.
You stopped and smiled at me,
Asked me if I'd care to dance.
I fell into your open arms,
I didn't stand a chance.
Now, listen, honey, I just wanna be beside you everywhere.
As long as we're together, honey, I don't care
'Cos you started something, can't you see.
Ever since we met you've had a hold on me.
No matter what you do, I only want to be with you.
You stopped and smiled at me,
Asked me if I'd care to dance.
I feel into your open arms,
I didn't stand a chance.
Now, listen, honey, I just wanna be beside you everywhere.
As long as we're together, honey, I don't care
'Cos you started something, can't you see.
Ever since we met you've had a hold on me.
No matter what you do, I only want to be with you.
No matter, no matter what you do, I only want to be with you.
I'll put your pictures all around my wall
I'll build a tower of love that won't fall
I'll do everything I can
I'll try to be your lovin' woman
With every ounce of strength I have
Oh yeah
Well, there is nothing that I wouldn't do
To let the world know I'm crazy 'bout you
I'd use all of my womans power
To keep you happy for a million hours
Every ounce of strength I have
Every ounce of strength I have
But you can ask for what you want
And a-get what you ask
I'd give my all to make
I would love for ever last
With every ounce of strength I have
Oh yeah
Long as blood runs through my veins
Long as I can see clouds that bring on rain
I'll use a-all of my womans power
To keep you happy for a million hours
With every ounce of strength I have
Every ounce of strength I have
I'm gonna keep you happy
With every, every, every
Every ounce of strength I have
Every ounce I'm gonna keep you happy
With every, every, every
Drop me off in Harlem
Any place in Harlem
There's someone waiting there
Who makes it seem like Heaven up in Harlem
I don't want your Dixie
You can keep your Dixie
There's no one down in Dixie
Who can take me 'way from my hot Harlem
Harlem has those southern skies
They're in my baby's smile
I idolize my baby's eyes
And classy up-town style
If Harlem moved to China
I know of nothing finer
Than to stow away on a 'plane some day
And have them drop me off in Harlem
Harlem has those southern skies
They're in my baby's smile
I idolize my baby's eyes
And classy up-town style
If Harlem moved to China
I know of nothing finer
Than to stow away on a 'plane some day
And have them drop me off in Harlem
If Harlem moved to China
Get up in the morning 'bout a quarter to nine
Get home in the evenin', too tired to make time
Give me the lovin', I've been waiting for all day
You're always a little too tired to ever look my way
You got me hungry for your love but you, you ain't able
All you want to give me is the crumbs off the table
What you been doin'? Who you been wooin'?
Tell me, tell me who you been doin'?
I ache inside with a lovin' desire
But you're too tired, baby, to light my fire
I work in this house all day and I get tired too
There ain't a day goes by, I ain't willing to make love to you
I'm hungry for your love but you, you ain't able
All you want to give me is the crumbs off the table
What you been doin'? Who you been wooin'?
Tell me, tell me, tell me who you been doin'?
Hey, sometimes in the middle of the day
I get lovin' you on my mind
But as soon as you get home
You read the paper, ain't got the time
What you been doin'? Who you been wooin'?
Tell me, tell me, who you been doin'?
What you been doin'? Who you been wooin'?
Tell me, tell me, tell me who you been doin'?
I said, "I'm hungry for your lovin' but you, you ain't able
All you want to give me is the crumbs off the table
I'm hungry for your love but you
Ah, listen everybody
Especially you guys
Is it right to be left alone
When the one you love is never home?
I love too hard
Yeah, my friends sometimes say
But I believe, oh I believe
That a boy should be loved that way
But it hurts me so inside
See him treat me so unkind
A-somebody, a-somewhere
Tell him it ain't fair
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Somebody?
Is it right to be treated so bad?
When you've given everything you had
Keep on tossing in my sleep
'Cause I haven't seen my baby all week
Now, you people you do agree
That this ain't the way love's supposed to be
A-let me hear you
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Up early in the morning
With him on my mind
Just to find out all night
That I've been crying
But I believe, oh, that a boy is a girl's best friend
So, I'm gonna stick by him 'til the very end
But he caused so much misery
I forget how love's supposed to be
Somebody, somewhere tell him
It ain't fair
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
I want a witness
Witness, witness, witness, witness
Everybody knows, especially you boys
That a love can be sad
But half a love is twice as bad
Now you people you do agree
That this ain't the way love's supposed to be
Let me hear you
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah
I want a witness
Can I get a witness?
I want a witness
Come on, witness
I want a witness, hey
Come on, witness
adapted by Springfield-Gray (1967)
I walk where once the grass was green,
And mourn the lark that sings no more,
What bird could sing who's eyes have seen,
Broken blossoms on the field of war.
And as they lie there in the sun,
How unimportant now it seems,
Just who has lost and who has won,
When with them have died so many dreams.
They dreamed that endless hate would end,
Unceasing fear one day would cease,
They dreamed that foe would turn to friend,
And eternal war would turn to peace.
But who can say how many more,
Will join these young and hopeful men,
In fears they've never seen before,
(Baby don't you know?)
Tonight you'll take away my sorrow
(Baby don't you know?)
That it will all come back tomorrow
When we have to part
(Why, why) do I go on loving you?
(Baby don't you know?)
How much I want my arms about you?
(Baby don't you know?)
This emptiness I feel without you
Close to my heart
(Close to my heart)
Don't ever, ever say goodbye
(Say goodbye)
Unless you wanna see, wanna see me cry
(Baby don't you know?)
That we were meant to be together
(Baby don't you know?)
The thought of leaving you forever
Tears me apart
(Tears me apart)
I'll never say goodbye to you
(Say goodbye to you)
Unless you really want, really want me to
(Baby don't you know?)
I wanna spend my life loving you
(Close to my heart)
Don't ever, ever say goodbye
(Don't say goodbye)
Unless you wanna see, wanna see me cry
(Baby don't you know?)
That we were meant to be together
(Baby don't you know?)
The thought of leaving you forever
Tears me apart
(Tears me apart)
I'll never say goodbye to you
(Say goodbye to you)
Unless you really want, really want me to
(Baby don't you know?)
I wanna spend my life loving you
(Baby don't you know?)
I wanna spend my life loving you
(Baby don't you know?)
(Baby don't you know?)
I wanna spend my life, ooh,ooh
