Deke Richards-Sherlie Matthews
For so long we share each other's lives
Gave up everything to keep love satisfied
Baby, the air that I breathe you will take when you leave
All because of something small
Like the day I missed your call
I tried to get in touch with you
When I finally did, you said we're through.
Why must we fall in love to find out how to cry?
Build up trust, then tear it down, oh tell me why
When it takes so long to make it
And no time at all to break it off.
Then you walked away I just stood there numb
I had nothing to say
Into the night you walked away with my life
And feeling almost half my size
I looked up and the heaven's eyes
Smile was gone we used to see
She knew that you were standing there with me.
Why must we fall in love to find out how to cry?
Build up trust, then tear it down, oh tell me why
When it takes so long to make it
And no time at all to break it off.
One day up, then the next day down
Love will keep you going like a merry go round
(To keep you hurting, hurting)
You both tried night and day from the start
To keep your love from falling apart
(To keep you hurting, hurting)
Then all at once you left one out
And love walks out the door
You're searching baby, for something else
You'll never find that thing you have before
Why must we fall in love to find out how to cry?
Build up trust, then tear it down, oh tell me why
When it takes so long to make it
And no time at all
Why must we fall in love to find out how to cry?
Build up trust, then tear it down oh tell me why
Why must we fall in love to find out how to cry?
Build up trust, then tear it down oh tell me why

Hi Berry,
This is Diane, this is Mary, Florence
And on behalf of everyone at Motown
We also wish to extend our congratulations
We couldn't get along without you
Just couldn't feel the song without you
Without your hand to guide our way
We'd all be lost somewhere in yesterday
We need your strength
We need your courage too
We need your constant faith to see us through
We couldn't get along without you
Just couldn't feel the song without you
You gave us hope when all our hope was gone
With wise and patient hands you kept hangin' on
When things were dark, You brought us shining light
Words cannot express the way we feel tonightBerry, on behalf of the people at home
And the people all over this country
To whom you are a shining example
Our deepest congratulations
And of course our deepest love
We need you now more than before
Success is one thing, but you taught us much more
We couldn't get along without you
Just couldn't feel the song without you
The world should know the man inside
Who worked with courage and a deep sense of pride
Your strong and guiding hand has shown us the way
From those who love you most we just want to say
We couldn't get along without you
Just couldn't feel the song without you...
(Berry Gordy)
Now you're moving on up, pretty baby
You're leaving me behind
Everybody seems to love you
Ooh, you're doing just fine, fine, fine
Take away your good looks
And all your fancy clothes
I bet you want to try it baby
And you'll see
That nobody loves you but me
Now what do you think about that?
Hey, Melvin
Now you tell me that you so busy
Ooh, baby you ain't got much time
Oh, how will I remember, babe
When all your time was mine, mine, mine
Well move on back cross the track
Yeah, where you came from
Yeah, why don't you just try it baby
And you'll see
Nobody loves you but me
Yeah, nobody but me
Try it
If you think I'm lying
Try it
Try it baby
Ooh, well move on back cross the track, baby
Yeah, where you came from
Come on and try, try it honey, try it baby, try it sweet
And you'll see
Nobody loves you but me
Nobody loves you but me
Listen, I really want to hold you, pretty baby
In my arms again
But I can't get close to you
For all your love afraid
But take your name from the bad list
And tear me your arms through
Come on and try it baby
I'm gonna try it sweetheart
Try it honey
You'll see, nobody loves you but me
Nobody but me
(William ";Smokey"; Robinson)
Right now, I'm in school
But as soon as the homebell rings
I'm gonna run to my locker
And gather up all my things
Then out the door
Running home I'll go
Faster than a new jet plane
And then turn on my radio
I'm gonna listen to those D.J. shows
I'm gonna be diggin' that rock 'n' roll
If I don't I'll go insane
Mamma said, ";Go to bed
And turn off all those lights
And please turn off that radio
'Cause you listen to it day and night";
So I'll go to bed
And cover up my head
So nobody can complainAnd then turn on my radio
I'm gonna listen to those D.J. shows
I'm gonna be diggin' that rock 'n' roll
If I don't I'll go insane
Well there may come a time in my lifetime
When I won't like to dance and sing
When I won't like to go to the parties no more
And I won't like to do a thing
Well bless my soul
When I get so old
Till have to walk around with a cane
And then turn on my radio
I'm gonna listen to those D.J. shows
I'm gonna be diggin' that rock 'n' roll
If I don't I'll go insane
I'm gonna listen to those D.J. shows
'Cause that's all I like to do
Those D.J. shows
Every day those D.J. shows
I dig the records that they play
Those D.J. shows
Every day those D.J. shows
(William ";Smokey"; Robinson/R.Rogers/W. Moore)
If Columbus never sailed the sea
]If Longfellow never wrote a rhyme
If leaves have never grown upon a tree
And if the sands have never told the time
Then I guess I don't love you
Love you like I do
Then I guess I'll have to find me someone new
Then I guess this love I feel couldn't possibly be real
If Beethoven never wrote a song
And if Shakespeare never wrote a play
If a man has never done a wrong
And if night has never followed day
Then I guess I don't love you
Love you like I do
Then I guess I'll have to find me someone new
Then I guess this love for you couldn't possibly be true
If high is low
And up is down
And if love is not considered an emotion
If yes is no
And square is round
And if waves had never rode across the ocean
If Michaelangelo could never paint
And if Jezebel was a saint
Then I guess I don't love you
Love you like I do
Then I guess I'll have to find me someone new
Then I guess this love is wrong couldn't possibly be strong
Then I don't love you
Love you like I do
Then I guess I'll have to find me someone new
Then I guess this love I feel...
(Mitch Leigh/Joe Darion)
To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afat
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest to follow that star
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march
Into hell for a heavenly causeAnd I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star
The fight the unbeatable foe
To dream the impossible dream
And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star
To fight the unbeatable foe
To dream the impossible dream
(Kohan/Angelos)

Surfer boy, surfer boy
Surfer boy, surfer boy
Look at the way, the way he rides
He rides, he rides oh so high
Look at the way, the way he rides
He rides, he rides oh so high
My surfer boy
Riding waves just for joy
What are you taking chances for
Is it a matter of pride
Riding waves so high
Seems to touch the sky
Waves that rock and sway
Ooh takes my breath away
Surfers all around
Cheering you as you ride down
Each day I feel as before
So afraid till you're safe to shore
In my arms once more
The way he rides, oh so highThe cheering crowd nearby
Watch you surf the waves so high
Wild as the wind, you surf the sea
Like a man on a flying trapeze
My surfer boy
I'm so afraid for you
Though thrilling it must be, my love
Be safe for me, my love
Ooh oh so high
The way he rides, oh so high
My surfer boy
Riding waves just for joy
What are you taking chances for
Is it a matter of pride
Riding waves so high
Seems to touch the sky
Waves that rock and sway
Ooh takes my breath away
Surfer boy, surfer boy, surfer boy

Say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sing it for me fellows, now
Say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I try to put my arms around you
All because I wanna hold you tight
But everytime I reach for you, baby, try to kiss you
You just jump clean out of sight.
And oh I've got news for you
Baby, now I'll make place for two
I guess you're just a stubborn kind of fellow
Got my mind made up to love you.
Everybody say it
Say yeah, yeah, yeah, say yeah, yeah, yeah
One more time
Say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm gonna love you in every way
(Gonna love you, gonna love you, in every way)
I say I'm gonna love, girl, you in every way
(Gonna love you, gonna love you, in every way)
Now, other girls are falling
And I'm waiting for the moment
But I need you to stay by my side
I know you've heard about me
Bad things about me
Baby, please let me explain
I have kissed a few (baby, baby)
Many a few have kissed me too
I guess I'm just a stubborn kind of fellow
Got my mind made up to love you
(Love you, love you)
Everybody say
Say yeah, yeah, yeah, say yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, sing it everybody now
Say yeah, yeah, yeah, say yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sylvester Stewart
Sing a simple song
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
I'm talking, talking, talking, talking, talking, talking in my sleep
I'm walking, walking, walking, walking, walking in the street
Time is passing, I grow older, things are happening fast
All I have to hold on to is a simple song at last.
Let me hear you say ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
Let me hear you say ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
Sing a simple song, you gotta try a little
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do, do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, oh yeah, oh yeah.
I'm living, living, living life with all its ups and downs (you too?)
I'm giving, giving, giving love and smiling at the frowns (me too!)
You're in trouble when you find it's hard for you to smile
A simple song will make it better for a little while.
Let me hear you say ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
Let me hear you girls: yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm talking, talking, talking, talking
I'm walking, walking, walking, walking
I'm living, living, living, living
I'm giving love and so much love
Everybody sing together
Ya, ya, ya ya, ya, oooo
Let me hear you say ya, ya, ya ya, ya
Time for you ladies to do your thing.
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)
My world is empty without you, baby
My world is empty without you, baby
And as I go my way alone
I find it hard for me to carry on
I need your strenght
I need your tender touch
I need the love, my dear
I miss so much
My world is empty without you, baby
My world is empty without you, baby
From this old world
I try to hide my face
From this loneliness
There's no hiding place
Inside this cold and empty house I dwell
In darkness with memories
I know so wellI need love know
More then before
I can hardly
Carry on anymore
My world is emty without you, babe
Without you, babe
(My world is emty) without you, babe
My mind and soul
Have felt like this
Since love between us
No more exist
And each time that darkness falls
It finds me alone
With these four walls
My world is emty without you, babe
Without you, babe
(My world is emty) without you, babe
Without you, babe
Without you, babe
(Richard Rodgers/Oscar Hammerstein)
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crispapple strudel
Doorbells and sleighbells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses and blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on your nose and eye lashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite thingsWhen the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
Then I don't feel so bad
Girls in white dresses
Blue satin sashes
Snowflakes on my eye lashes
Ooh, my favorite things
Brian Holland-Lamont Dozier-Edward Holland, Jr.
We're happy holding hands
Ooo, to us love's been grand
Walking down the path of love
While heaven smiles from up above
Cause love is in our hearts.
We stroll through the park
A kiss stolen in the dark
I'm the girl that feels supreme
For he might do most anything
Cause love is in our hearts.
When he looks into my eyes
I feel so good inside
And when he reaches out for me
It's the fourth of July
I'm so happy I could cry.
The moon's not up tonight
Our love lights up the sky
If shadows dark our day
We'll use our love to light our way
Cause love is in our hearts.
Oh, the birds in the trees
Sing lovely melodies
Sing about the love that's strong
A love affair that can't go wrong
Cause love is in our hearts.
Soft music fills the air
We haven't got a care
Our life's filled with joy
Happy is this girl and boy, oh
Cause love is in our hearts.
Love is in our hearts
Sweet love is in our hearts
Sweet love, sweet, sweet,
Sweet love is in our hearts
Love is in our hearts, oh
Love is in our hearts
Sweet love is in our hearts.
Al Capps-Mary Dean
Little bright star keep shining
When he was born long ago on Christmas night
Above his head a little star was shining bright
The wise men followed that light above.
Little bright star lead us today to his love
Little church bells keep ringing
Little church bells keep ringing.
Little church bells ringing out at Christmas time
Reminding us that the star of love still shines
Not just at Christmas but every day.
Little bright star, you're there to show us the way
Little bright star keep shining
Little bright star keep shining.
Oh little star shining over every land
Just keep on glowing so the world can understand
The joy of Christmas comes from within.
Little bright star, please keep on shining for all means
Keep on shining, keep on shining
Little bright star keep shining
Keep on shining, keep on shining.
IF A GIRL ISN‰ PRETTY
Jule Styne-Bob Merrill
If a girl isn't pretty, really pretty
Like a Miss Atlantic City.
If a girl isn't pretty like a Miss Atlantic City
All she gets in life is pity and a pat
Any nose with deviation
Is a crime against the nation
Throw her into jail or maybe drown the cat.
She must shine in every detail
Like a ring you buy in retail
With a mounting that can knock the public flat
If a girl isn't pretty like a Miss Atlantic City
There's just nothing more to say: that's that
(That's that).
If a girl isn't pretty like a Miss Atlantic City
She should dump the stage and try another route
Any guy that spends a quarter
For a seat just feels he ought-a
See a figure that his wife can't substitute.
Men with faces that can cause ya
To have a temporary nausea
Will demand a raving beauty and nothing less
When a girl's incidentals
Are no bigger than two lentils
Well, to me that doesn't spell success.
(No, no, no, no, no, no
If a girl isn't pretty, if a girl isn't pretty).
If a girl ain't perfection
She can take a pop election
Every girl must be a dazzler and a beaut'
Never mind the girl's equipment
If it ain't the right assortment
Even though she loves her mother
And she's nice to her brother
If her hair ain't too bright curly
Better go to China, girlie
Or to hell on a fast express.
If a girl isn't pretty like a Miss Atlantic City
That oblivion is hard, a drag.
Lawrence Brown-George Gordy-Allen Story-Anna Gaye
It's times like this, love
When my heart is filled with heavenly bliss
And you've given me a tender kiss
I begin to realize I'm so thankful that you're mine
'Cause I'm glad, so glad
Glad, glad I got somebody like you around
My heart grows fonder, baby, of you each and every day
Can't you hear it's singing praises, baby
To you in its own sweet way
Let you know sure I'm glad I got you
I don't think I could make it without you
'Cause I'm glad, so glad
Glad, glad I got somebody like you around
Glad, glad, glad, glad I got you
Glad, glad, glad, glad I got you
You better believe I'm having the time of my life
I'd be so proud if you'd ask me to be your wife
I hope and pray that it might be real soon
Like early in the morning or right this afternoon
'Cause I'm glad, so glad
I'm glad, glad I got somebody like you around
I remember all the tears, love
You washed away through childhood years
You were always very near, love
When I needed somebody, when I needed somebody
When I needed somebody like you around
When I needed somebody, when I needed somebody
When I needed somebody like you around
'Cause I'm glad, glad I got you
I'm glad, glad, glad, glad I got you.
Brian Holland-Lamont Dozier-Edward Holland, Jr.
The best years of my life I placed into your hands
Now suddenly you've made, you've made a change of plans
That world we built for two does not include me now
That world of pleasant dream is but a nightmare now.
On life's bridge we ran so gaily hand in hand
But it's all over now, that bridge is all burned down
Your love was all I could depend upon
Who can I turn to now, now that youÅ e gone.
I can't make it alone
I need your love to call my own
I can't run, I can't hide from this love that's inside
All that I long to do is spend my life loving you
Every minute, every hour, always.
The joyful things that we used to do
That kept me right on, right on loving you
Oh, playing funny, childish games
Like running barefoot in the rain.
It was a special dream, a dream that I could feel
But now youÅ e gone, life's so unreal
Your love is truly the only love I've known
What am I to do now that you're gone.
I can't make it alone
I need your love to call my own
I can't run, I can't hide from this love that's inside
All that I long to do is spend my life loving you
Every minute, every hour, every day.
Days have come and gone but they never find you here
Nights are twice as long, oh, without you, dear
After many, many faithful years
How could you cause me so many tears?
I can't make it alone
I need your arms around me
I can't make it alone
I need your arms around me
I can't make it alone
Just can't make it alone.
Brian Holland-Lamont Dozier-Edward Holland, Jr.
He's my honey boy, my ever loving pride and joy
He's my honey boy, my ever loving pride and joy.
Sweet kisses are his claim to fame
In my heart he'll always remain
True fine loving is his game
Honey boy is his name
He's sugar, he's spice
He's everything that's nice.
He's my honey boy, my ever loving pride and joy
He's my honey boy, my ever loving pride and joy.
I'd rather have a minute of his time
Than all the gold in the Fort Knox mine
My whole he inspired
Loving him is my desire
Always near when I need him most
That's why I love the boss.
He's my honey boy, my ever loving pride and joy
He's my honey boy, my ever loving pride and joy.
If you see me in my prettiest dress
It's for him I look my best
Nobody can take him from me
Because he has everlasting loyalty
He's sugar, he's spice
He's everything that's nice.
He's my honey boy, my ever loving pride and joy
He's my honey boy, my ever loving pride and joy
He's my honey boy, my ever loving pride and joy
Yes indeed.

Oh Mary, Cindy...
Listen, isn't that Diane?
Hey Mary, Cindy...
It is Diane.
Where are you, where are you?
Over here.
Where...?
Over here, in the magic kingdom.
Come on, come on in.
Yeah, let's go to the magic kingdom.
Right through here.
Heigh ho, heigh ho
To have some fun we go
We'll keep on singing all day long
Heigh ho, heigh ho
Heigh ho, heigh ho, heigh ho
For if you're feeling low
You positively can't go wrong
With a heigh, heigh ho
We dig dig dig dig dig dig dig in our mine the whole day through
To dig dig dig dig dig dig dig is what we like to do
And while we dig we always sing
And when we dig there ain't a better thing
Than a tune, than a tune, you can whistle or can croon
So we dig dig dig dig dig dig dig in our mine the whole day through
To dig dig dig dig dig dig dig until it's time to quit
And then we warble down the scale
As we go marching down the trail
Right along, right along
To the rhythm of this song
Here we are!
Wow, here we are in the magic kingdom
Heigh ho, heigh ho
To make your troubles go
Just keep on singing
All day long, heigh ho
Heigh ho, heigh ho, heigh ho
For if you're feeling low
You positively can't go wrong
With a heigh ho, heigh ho
Heigh ho, heigh ho
To make your troubles go
Just keep on singing
All day long, heigh ho
Heigh ho, heigh ho, heigh ho
To keep from feeling low
You positively can't go wrong
With a heigh ho, heigh ho
Heigh ho, heigh ho
To make your troubles go
Just keep on singing
All day long, heigh ho
Heigh ho, heigh ho, heigh ho
To keep from feeling low
You positively can't go wrong
With a heigh ho, heigh ho
(Jule Styne/Bob Merrill)
Funny, did you hear that? Funny!
Yeah, the guy said
";Honey, you're a funny girl";
That's me
I just keep them in stitches
Doubled in half
Though I may be all wrong for the guy
I'm good for a laugh
I guess it's not funny
'Cause life is far from sunny
When the laugh is over
And the joke's on you
A girl ought to have a sense of humor
That's one thing she really needs for sure
When you're a funny girl
The fellow said ";A funny girl";
Funny, how it ain't so funny
Funny girlFunny
Did you hear that?
The guy said I was funny
We'll wait 'till the laugh's over
And the joke's on you
That's me
I just keep them in stitches
Doubled in half
And though I may be all wrong for the guy
I'm good for a laugh
I may be all wrong for the guy
I'm good for a laugh
I guess it's not funny
'Cause life is far from sunny
When the laugh is over
And the joke's on you
A girl ought to have a sense of humor
That's one thing she really need for sure
When you're a funny girl
The fellow said ";A funny girl";
Funny, how it ain't so funny

All day long I hear my telephone ring
Friends calling giving their advice
From the boy I love
I should break away
'Cause heartaches he'll bring one day
I lost him once through friends advice
But it's not gonna happen twice
'Cause all advice ever's gotten me
Was many long and sleepless nights
Ooh! But now
He's back in my arms again
Right by my side
I got him back in my arms again
So satisfied
It's easy for friends to say
Let him go
But I'm the one
Who needs him so
It's his love that makes me strong
Without him I can't go on
This time I'll life my life at ease
Being happy lovin' whom I please
And each time we make romance
I'll be thankfull for a second chanceOoh! Cause
He's back in my arms again
Right by my side
I got him back in my arms again
So satisfied
How can Mary tell me what to do
When she lost her love so true?
And Flo, she don't know
'Cause the boy she loves is a Romeo
I listened once to my friends advice
But it's not gonna happen twice
'Cause all advice ever's gotten me
Was many long and sleepless nights
Ooh! I got him
Back in my arms again
Right by my side
I got him back in my arms again
So satisfied
Ooh! I'm satisfied yeah
So satisfied
(William ";Smokey"; Robinson)
I'll admit that you've been
Playing with my heart
Just like it was a toy
And I've been playing along
And letting you treat me wrong
Because it seems to give you joy
Are you sure love is the name of this game
Are you sure love is the name of this game
For days on end you just stay away
Waitin' for my heart to weaken
It's like we're playing hide and seek
And I'm the one who's always seekingAre you sure love is the name of this game
I wanna know
Are you sure L-O-V-E love is the name of this game
Well if everything's right
And uptight
How come the heartaches keep repeating
With every beat my heart is beating
Now can it be that you've been cheating
Cheating on me
Now how come you keep on
Telling me lies
Filling my life with sorrow
Don't know what to expect
From your affection
It's here today and gone tomorrow
Are you sure love, love, love is the name of this game
I wanna know
Are you sure L-O-V-E love is the name of this game
Winds may blow over icy sea
I'll take with me the warmth of thee
A taste of honey
A taste much sweeter, sweeter than wine.
I will return, I'll return
Oh, I'll come back for the honey and you
Now baby, hey.
I'll leave behind my heart to wear
And may it ever remind you of
A taste of honey
A taste much sweeter than wine.I will return, I'll return
I'll come back for the honey and you.
He never came back to his love so fair
And so she died dreaming of his kiss
His kiss was honey
A taste much bitter than wine
Oh, baby, baby, baby.
I'll return (come on back)
I'm coming back (come on back)
I'll be back now baby (come on back)
I'll be back, ooohI'll come back for the honey
And you, baby (honey!)
You, baby (honey!), you, baby
I'm coming back now baby (come on back).
Baby, I know all about you
I heard long ago about you
They say you're mighty fast
You've got a wicked past
Ooo, all I know about you.
You'll never get my heart
Won't be upsetting my heart
I'll never treat you, won't
I'm just too well in bond
Ooo, all I know about you.
And if you think that you
can steal my heart a word
Why don't you try, I dare you to try
If you play you're gonna lose the game
'Cause I will never take my guard away
Come on and try
Though I'm nice I'll be cold as ice
Cause I know all about you.
Baby, I know all about you
There's nothing slow about you
Kiss me and then you'll see
Wonder within of me
Ooo, all I know about you.Baby, I'm mad about you
I'm so glad about you
One little kiss and wow
I'm a believer now
Ooo, all I know about you, babe.
I'm so wild about you
I feel like a child about you
It felt like this before
I wanna kiss ya more
Ooo, all I know about you, babe.
I know all about you
And I like what I know about you
One little kiss and wow
I'm a believer now
Ooo, all I know about you.
(Paul McCartney/John Lennon)
It's been a hard day's night
And I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night
I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
You know I work all day
To get you money to buy you things
And it's worth it
To hear you say
You're gonna give me everything
So why I love to come home
'Cause when I get you alone
you know I'm feeling okay
When I'm home
Everything seems to be right
When I'm home
Feeling you hold me tight, tight
It's been a hard day's night
And I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night
I should be sleeping like a logBut when I get home to you
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
So why I love to come home
'Cause when I get you alone
you know I'm feeling okay
When I'm home
Everything seems to be alright
When I'm home
Feeling you hold me tight, tight
It's been a hard day's night
And I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night
I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
You know I'll feel alright
You know I'll feel alright
Tossin' and turnin' and losin' my sleep
Cause heartaches by the number you gave to me.
I'm so glad heartaches don't last always.
But I'm so glad heartaches don't last always.
I feel uplifted and at ease
Since my heartaches went away
Someway, somehow I've gotten over you now
No more sitting by the phone
Mo more wondering if you're alone
Tossin' and turnin' and losin' my sleep
Cause heartaches by the number you gave to me
I'm so glad heartaches don't last always
I'm so glad heartaches don't last always
Getting over you was hard cause we were so close.
In the middle of sweet memeories and then it hurt the most.
But I just kept on trying in between crying and ...
Tossin' and turnin' and losin' my sleep
Cause heartaches by the number you gave to me
I'm so glad heartaches don't last always
I'm so glad heartaches don't last always.
How happy I am now that I'm over you.
It's so wonderful this change in me.
How rejoiced I am to be over you at last no more ...
Tossin' and turnin' and losin' my sleep
Cause heartaches by the number you gave to me
I'm so glad heartaches don't last always
I'm so glad heartaches don't last always
(Gordy/Gordy/Bradford)
You're building a private heaven
You're reaching out so far
When you reach your goal
With joys untold
At least
Save me star
When you finish
Your private heaven
Think of me
Wherever you are
Remember how true
I was to youAnd at least won't you
Save me star
Though I'd hate to see you go
A kiss for luck and fame
But if you should stumble
And your heaven tumble
I'll welcome you home again
When you finish your private heaven
Though it be near or far
Once again I'll call to say
At least won't you
Save me a star
Oh, save me a star
(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart)
Once I laughed when I heard your saying
That I'd be playing solitaire
Uneasy in my easy chair
It never entered my mindOnce you told me I was mistaken
That I'd awaken with the sun
And ordered orange juice for one
It never entered my mind
You have what I laughed myself
Now I even have to scratch my back myself
Once you warned me that if you scorned me
I'd singing the maiden's prayer again
And wish that you were there again
To get into my hair again
It never entered my mind
It never entered my mind
(William ";Smokey"; Robinson)
When I had you here
I treated you bad
And wrong my dear
And since
Oh, since you went away
Don't you know I sit around with my head hanging down
And I wonder
Who is loving you
I, I, I should have never, ever, ever made you cry
And since, since you went away
Don't you know I sit around with my head hanging down
And I wonder
Who is loving youLife without love
Don't you know it's oh so lonely
I don't think
I don't think I'm gonna make it
Well my life
All my love I devote to you only
Come on and take it
Come on and take it
Because all
All I can do
All I can do since you've been gone is cry
And since, boy, since you went away
Don't you know I sit around with my head hanging down
And I wonder, who is loving you
Wonder who is loving you
Who can I turn to
When nobody needs me
My heart wants to know
So I must go
Where destiny leads me
With no star to guide me
And no one beside me
I'll go on my way
And after the day
The darkness will hide me
But maybe tomorrow
I'll find what I'm after
I'll throw off my sorrow
Beg, steal or borrow
My share of laughter
'Cause with you I could learn to
With you on a new day
But who can I turn to
If you turn away
With you I could learn to
With you on a new day
But who can I turn to
If you turn away
(William ";Smokey"; Robinson)
She's alright
I don't like you
But I love you
Seems that I'm always
Thinking of you
Oh, you treat me badly
I love you madly
You really got a hold on me
You really got a hold on me, baby
I don't want you,
But I need you
Don't want to kiss you
But I need you
Oh, you do me wrong now
My love is strong now
You really got a hold on me
You really got a hold on me, baby
I love you and all I want you to do
Is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
TighterI want to leave you
Don't want to stay here
Don't want to spend
Another day here
Oh, I want to split now
I can quit now
You really got a hold on me
You really got a hold on me, baby
I love you and all I want you to do
Is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
You really got a hold on me
You really got a hold on me
(Katherine Davis/Henry Onorati/Harry Simeone)

Lover of mine
Gone to a faraway land
Serving your country
On some faraway sand
But you should get no name
Remember that your heart belongs to me
I'm sending you a picture
To carry with you all the time
So when you're feeling lonely
It's something to remind you
I'm thinking of you constantly
Remember that your hearts belongs to me
Your heart belongs to meIf a pretty girl should pass you by
I won't mind
If you give her the eye
Or even if you give her a smile sometimes
But keep your heart
Because your heart is mine
Your heart is mine
Your heart is mine
Lover of mine
If I could tell you how I yearn
For the day to come
When you will return
From far across the sea
So remember that your heart belongs to me
Remember your heart belongs to me
Far across the sea
(Anna Gaye/Allen Story/George Gordy)
I believe in everything you do
My heart and soul goes out to you
This world was made for boys like you
You never made me cry
You never told me a lie
You've been wonderful to me
Ooh, so wonderful to me
Oh, yes you have
Wonderful, wonderful
You're wonderful and kind
You're forever gently on my mind
Even in my sleep I have wonderful dreams
You're always there speaking sofly it seems
Telling me how much I mean to you
Oh, darling you're my dream come trueYou're wonderful to me
So wonderful to me
Oh, yes you are
Some day I'll find the words to say
To let you know how much I appreciate
Your being true and loving me the way you do
There's a smile upon my heart
Knowing you'll never say you'll part
You've been so wonderful to me
So wonderful to me
Oh, yes you have
Wonderful
Wonderful to me
Wonderful
Oh, yes you have
Wonderful
You've been so wonderful
Wonderful
Oh, yes you have

You're nobody till somebody loves you
You're nobody till somebody cares
You might be king
You might possess
The world and all its gold
But gold won't bring you happiness
When you're growing old
The world is still is the same
You'll never change it
As sure as the stars shine above
You're nobody till somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody to loveYou're nobody till somebody loves you
You're nobody till somebody cares
You might be king
You might possess
The world and all its gold
But gold won't bring you happiness
When you're growing old
The world is still is the same
You'll never change it
As sure as the stars shine above
You're nobody till somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody to love
The world is the same and you'll never remain the same
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)
Who could ever doubt my love?
Who could ever doubt my love?
I've been falsely accused
Of being untrue to him
And it's not so
But it's the way he's misjudged me
That really hurts me so
When I've been nothing but good to him
Forsaking all others
Giving my love to him
Who could ever doubt my love?
A victim of circumstance I have been
But what really hurts is
Instead of believing me
He believed his friends
When l've been nothing but good to himRearrange my life to please only him
Who could ever doubt my love?
Who could ever doubt my love?
I've been cast aside
Because he believed someone's lies
After I've done the best I could
Still I've been so misunderstood
After I've been good to him
Good to him, so good to him
Who could ever doubt my love?
Who could ever doubt my love?
Who could ever doubt my love?
(Clarence Paul)
When day is done and you come home
You shouldn't spend your nights alone
That's when you need me baby
To always know that someone cares
And love like mine should be shared
We'll see you'll need me baby
We'll build up dreams and memories
And maybe raise a family
So give your love to one who yearns
I'll promise true love in return
How can you be so blind
Can't you see you need meIf you should disappoint me
And refuse my love
I know my heart would die
'Cause you are my reason for living
My heart and soul I'm giving
Darling hear my cry
You need me
To me my love's sacred thrill
It's all for you and you alone
You see you need me baby
Though you may find another who
Might take your love and be untrue
You see you need me baby
Have you experienced in the past
One sided love affairs don't last
No need to take a chance at all
When I'm just waiting for your call
How can you be so blind
Can't you see you need me
You need me, you need me
(Clarence Paul)
You didn't care
Or you wouldn't have walked away
I realize now you must care less every day
Like a fool I gave you all my love
I didn't know
You didn't care
It's not too late
To reconsider or change your mind
If you want to
Only you can end this hurt in my heartIt's in your eyes
The way you look at me
They say our love now
Was never meant to be
I just cried
You looked at me and laughed
Then I knew, I knew
You didn't care
I just cried
You turned and walked away
Then I knew, I knew
You didn't care
(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart)
It seems we stood and talked
like this before
We looked at each other
In the same way then
But I can't remember where or when
The clothes you're wearing
Are the clothes you wore
The smile you are smiling
You were smiling then
But I can't remember where or when
Somethings that happen
For the first time
Seem to be happening againAnd so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before
And loved before
But who knows where or when
Somethings that happen
For the first time
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before
And loved before
But who knows where or when
(Paul McCartney/John Lennon)
Yesterday,
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Suddenly,
I'm not half the girl I used to be
There's a shadow hangin' over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly
Why he had to go
I don't know
He wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterdayYesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh I believe in yesterday
Why he had to go
I don't know
He wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday
Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh I believe in yesterday
Mm mm mm mm

Whisper you love me boy
Say the words you seldom say
You love me more
Each passing day
Whisper you love me boy
Just the way you used to do
When our love was true
It's been so long
Since you held me in your arms
Ooh, the joy it brings
Hearing you say sweet thingsWhisper you love me boy
Make it sound soft and dear
Tender and sincere
Whisper you love me boy
Say it in your sweet way
The things I seldom hear you say
You used to say
You love me the most
But now you hardly ever hold me close
Whisper you love me boy
Whisper, whisper
(Vicki Basemore/Sylvia Moy/Henry Cosby)
With a child's heart
Go face the worries of the day
With a child's heart
Turn each problem into play
No need to worry
No need to fear
Just being alive
Makes it all so very clear
That's with a child's heart
Nothing can ever get you down
With a child's heart
You've got no reason to frownLove, love is welcome
As a sunny, sunny day
No grownup thoughts
To lead our hearts astray
Take life easy
Easy like a child
So gay and care free
Yeah
Love, love is welcome
As a sunny, sunny day
The whole world smiles with you
As you go your own merry way
'Cause with a child's heart
Nothing can ever get you down
With a child's heart
We've got no reason to frown
(Billy Rose/Edward Eliscu/Vincent Youmans)
Without a song
The day would never end
Without a song
The road would never have been
When things go wrong
A man ain't got a friend
Without a song
That field of corn
Would never ever see a plow
That field of corn
Would be deserted now
A man is born
But he's no good no how
Without a songI've got my trouble and woe
But sure as I know
The Jordan will roll
I'll get along
As long as a song
Is strung in my soul
I'll never know
What makes the rain to fall
I'll never know
What makes the grass so tall
I only know
There ain't no love at all
Without a song
(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart)
With a song in my heart
I behold your adorable face
Just a song at the start
But it soon is a hymn to your grace
When the music swells
I'm touching your hand
It tells that me you're standing near
And at the sound of your voice
Heaven opens its portals to me
Can I help but rejoice
That a song such as ours came to be?
But I always knew
I would live life through
With a song in my heart for you
(Ned Washington/Leigh Harline)
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longingLike a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dream comes true
No request is too extreme
When you wish
As dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
When you wish upon a star
Your dream comes true
Writers Robert Sherman, Richard Sherman
Let them go, let them go
Let them try their wings
Little birds were born to fly
Not until they're home
And they miss their home
And it won't be long 'til Christmas
When the branches appear
That'll descent the air
Comes alive with frost and pine
And they'll yearn to be
By the family tree
Oh, it won't be long 'til Christmas
The years go by
And every night you'll say
Sweet dreams, sleep tight
Then there comes the day
You're forced to say
Don't forget to write
There'll be holly and popcorn and mistletoe
There'll be songs by the fireplace
Oh, it won't be long 'til Christmas
Let them go
Let them go
Let them go
Let them go
(Irving Berlin)
I'm dreaming of a white christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
Ooh, I'm dreaming of a white christmas
With every christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your christmases be whiteOoh, white christmas
Sleigh bells in the snow
Ooh, I'm dreaming of a white christmas
With every christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your christmases be white
(Hal David/Burt Bacharach)
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No not just for some but for everyone
Lord we don't need another mountain
There are mountains and hillsides
Enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers
Enough to cross. enough to last
'Till the end of time
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No not just for some but for everyoneLord we don't need another meadow
There are corn fields and wheat fields
Enough to grow
There are sun beams and moon beams
Enough to shine
Oh listen Lord if you want to know
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No not just for some but for everyone
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
What the world needs now...

SPOKEN:
A world filled with love is a wonderfull sight
Being in love is what's heart's delight
But that look of love isn't on my face
That enchanted feeling has been replaced
As I walk this land of broken dreams
I have visions of many things
But happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion
What becomes of the broken-hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Maybe,
The fruits of love grow all around
But for me they come a tumblin' down
Everyday heartaches grow a little stronger
I can't stand this pain much longer
I walk in shadows, searching for light
Cold and alone, no comfort in sight
Hoping and prayin' for someone who care
Always movin' and goin' nowhereWhat becomes of the broken-hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Help me, please
I'm searching though I don't succeed
But someone look
There's a growing need
Oh, he is lost, there's no place for beginning
All that's left is an unhappy ending
Now what becomes of the broken-hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
I'll be searching everywhere
Just to find someone to care
I'll be looking everyday
I know I've got to find a way
Nothing's gonna stop me now
I'll find a way somehow
I'll be searching everywhere
James Dean-William Weatherspoon/R. Weatherspoon
I'm gonna take your empty heart
And fill it with love until it's higher and higher
And when it's to the top still I won't stop, I won't stop
Giving you love (giving you love)
Oh, baby when it's to the top still I won't stop, I won't stop
Giving you love (giving you love, giving you love, giving you love).
Ooh, love brought you to me
You were in search of your destiny
A hurt deep in your empty heart
Walking along, your life torn apart
Reaching out, so full of doubt
Hoping someone would show the way.
So here's my hand
I'm searching too so I understand
You need someone to come and be the one
To take all your hurt away
So let me start to fill your heart
With all of the love you need
And when it's to the top still I won't stop, I won't stop
Giving you love (giving you love)
Hey baby, and when it's to the top still I won't stop, I won't stop
Giving you love (giving you love, giving you love, giving you love).
Oh can't you feel it growing
Knowing it's going right to the top.
Oh, strong and true
Will be the love that I'll share with you
Rising so high up to the sky
Standing so tall it'll never fall
Soon you'll feel a love so real
Rush into your empty heart.
So walk with me
To the land of love eternally
There love will grow and we will know
We'll be in love forever more
Soon I'll show how love will grow
Inside of your empty heart
And when it's to the top still I won't stop, I won't stop
Giving you love (giving you love)
Darling, darling when it's to the top
Still I won't stop, I wonÅ stop giving you love
Giving you love (giving you love, giving you love).
(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart)
You won't believe it
You can't conceive it
You won't believe your eyes
Wait till you see him
See how he looks
Wait till you see him laugh
Painters of paintings
Writers of books
Never could tell the halfWait till you feel the warmth of his glance
Pensive and sweet and wise
All of it lovely
All of it thrilling
I'll never be willing to free him
When you see him
You won't believe your eyes
Painters of paintings
Writers of books
Never could tell the half
Wait till you feel the warmth of his glance
Pensive and sweet and wise
All of it lovely
All of it thrilling
I'll never be willing to free him
When you see him
You won't believe your eyes

We'll chase your dream across the sky

Oh, my love
My darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long lonely time
Time goes by
So slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine
I need your love
I need your love
God, speed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow to the sea
To the sea
To the open arms of the seaLonely river sigh
Wait for me
Wait for me
I'll be coming home
Wait for me
Oh, my love
My darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long lonely time
And time goes by
So slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine
I need your love
I need your love
God, speed your love to me

Within the magic kingdom
There's a lot of wonderful and beautiful places
But the most beautiful and exciting of them all
Is where the little ones find their greatest happiness
In toyland
Toyland
Ooh, toyland, toyland
Dear little girl and boyland
While you dwell within it
You are ever happy then
Childhood's toyland
Wonderful world of joyland
Wouldn't it be fine
If we could stay there forever moreToyland, toyland
We're on our way to toyland
Toyland, toyland
We're on our way to toyland
Don't know when we'll get there
But we know there's fun in store
Ooh, toyland, toyland
Wonderful girl and boyland
Once you leave it's borders
You can never return again

John Henry was born
At the crack of dawn
His mama named Henry
And a daddy named John
His daddy predicted that
While John was growin'
He would be wild
Like the wind that was blowin'
That morn he was born
Was a hurricane
Thunder and lightning
And pouring rain
He's exciting to see
Like the storm he was born in
He took my heart and soul
Without a warning
So treat me nice
Don't be mean, John Henry
Make the girl's faces green with envy
And I'm gonna give you
All the love that's in me
John Henry, John Henry
Oh, rock of a man
You're thrillin' me
I'll take your hand
So willingly
Ready to go
Wherever you lead me
Long as I know
You'll always need meOh, Johnny, you are my hero
Without you my life is a zero
So whether I'm happy or in misery
In your arms is where I have to be now
So treat me nice
Don't be mean, John Henry
Make the girl's faces green with envy
And I'm gonna give you
All the love that's in me
John Henry, John Henry
Henry, you know
You've got me goin'
My love for you
Keeps growing and a growing
Treat me nice
Don't be mean, John Henry
Make the girl's faces green with envy
And I'm gonna give you
All the love that's in me
John Henry, John Henry
Treat me nice
Don't be mean, John Henry
(Wm. Robinson, Jr.)
Stay with me, baby
Till Johnny comes
He'll come one day, I know it
But he's having fun
He's out painting the world scarlet red
And he's left me alone to be blue
One day he'll come to take me away
From this love I've been sharing with you
Stay with me, baby
Please, stay
Till Johnny comes
Stay with me, baby
And hold me near
Just the way Johnny used to hold me
When he was here'Cause when last he was here, we were kissing
And I thrilled to the way he spoke my name
When he thinks of the true love he's been missing
He'll be coming back to stake his claim
Stay with me, baby
Please, stay
Till Johnny comes
Since Johnny's been gone
You have dried all of the tears I have cried
Won't you stay here by my side
Till Johnny shows
And I'll tell Johnny he's come too late
Just how long did he think I would wait
And then stay with me forever
Won't you stay with me forever
After Johnny goes
Stay with me, baby
Forever and ever and ever and ever
Stay with me, baby
(M. Johnson)
Tender words of love
That once came easy
Now seems strained and insincere
Could this be the beginning
The beginning of the end
You don't tell me that you love me
And your kisses seem untrue
Could this be the beginning
The beginning of the endMy heart oh, my love
My everything has always
Been just for you
Now I pray every day
Each and every day
This coldness I find is only in my mind
Now you swear
You still love me
I longer feel you need me near
Could this be the beginning
I believe it's the beginning of the end
The beginning
The beginning of the end
(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart)
This can't be love
Because I feel so well
No sobs, no sorrows, no sighs
This can't be love
I get no dizzy spells
My head is not in the skies
My heart does not stand still
Just hear it beat
This is too sweet to be love
This can't be love
Because I feel so well
I love to look in your eyes
I love to look in your eyesThis can't be love
Because I feel so well
No sobs, no sorrows, no sighs
This can't be love
I get no dizzy spells
My head is not in the skies
My heart does not stand still
Just hear it beat
This is too sweet to be love
This can't be love
Because I feel so well
I love to look in your eyes
I love to look in your eyes
(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart)
There's a small hotel
With a wishing well
I wish that we were there together
There's a bridal suite
One room, bright and neat
Complete for us to share together
Looking through the window
You can see a distant steeple
Not a sign of people who needs peopleWhen the steeple bell
Says goodnight sleep well
We'll wish that wishing well
Bring that steeple bell
We'll thank that small hotel together
Not a sign of people who needs people
When the steeple bell
Says goodnight sleep well
We'll wish that wishing well
Bring that steeple bell
Thank that small hotel together
(Robinson/Rodgers)
You got a smile so bright
You know you could've been a candle
I'm holding you so tight
You know you could've been a handle
The way you swept me off my feet
You know you could've been a broom
The way you smell so sweet
You know you could've been some perfume
Well you could've been anything
That you wanted to and I can tell
The way you do the things you do
The way you do the things you doYou made my life so rich
You know could've been some money
And baby you're so sweet
You know could've been some honey
Well you could've been anything
That you wanted to and I can tell
The way you do the things you do
(Haven Gillespie/J. Fred Coots)

Here they come
Looking so alive
They're here for business
But it's all none of your jive
Brighter tomorrows are in their eyes
You'd better make way for the young folks
Oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah
They say yes and you say no
They ask you why and you close the door
My old friend I thought you knew by now
You can't do that to the young folks
Oh, no no no no
You might not like it but I've got to tell you
Gotta tell you
You'd better make way for the young folks
Oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah

They're standing in lines (yeah)
Protesting your right to turn out the light
In their livesHere's the deal
Accept it if you will
They're coming on strong
It's their time to live
My old friend I thought you knew by now
You gotta make way for the young folks
Oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah

I just wanna be happy
To love and be loved by you
But the only time I'm happy
Is when I dream of you each night
Cause that's the only time
You hold me tight in my dreams
Is the only time your love is mine.
Each time you're near
Something happens to my heart
You make you feel so unwantedm dear
And it pains my poor heart
If I could feel your sweet caress
Then I'd know true happiness.
But the only time I'm happy
Is when I dream of you each night
Cause that's the only time
You hold me tight in my dreams
Is the only time your love is mine.
To me you'll never have
Nothing kind or sweet to say
Than my whole day
To seem too sadly waste away
But when the day ends
All my happiness begins.
But the only time I'm happy
Is when I dream of you each night
Cause that's the only time
You hold me tightly in my dreams
Is the only time your love is mine.
Life pasts each day
Leaving loneliness in my heart
You make you feel so unneeded
And it hurts my poort heart
But there's nothing I'd rather do
Than to be happy loving you.
But the only time I'm happy
Is when I dream of you each night
Cause that's the only time
You hold me tightly in my dreams
Is the only time your love is mine.
(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart)
I get too hungry for dinner at eight
I like the theatre but never come late
I never bother with people I hate
That's why the lady is a tramp
I like the crap games with barons and earls
Won't go to Harlem in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt with the rest of the girls
That's why the lady is a tramp
I like that cool fresh wind in my hair
Life without care
I'm broke, it's oke!
Hate california
It's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a trampI get too hungry for dinner at eight

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl
And God I know I'm one
My mother was a tailor
Sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New OrleansNow the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
The only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk
Oh, mother tell your children
Not to do what we have done
Spend your lives in chear misery
In the House of the Rising Sun
Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many poor girl
And God I know I'm one

Sweet thing, you make my heart sing
You turn darkness into light
You make everything alright
Sweet thing, you make the bells ring
Ding dong, and sweet and true
Attaching me to you.
(Sweeter than the taste of sugar cane)
No sugar cane could be
As sweet as you are to me
(Sweeter than whatever you can name)
Like candy, cake or honey
Wouldn抰 give you up for love or money.
Sweet thing, you are my everything
You're all I need and more
Than my heart a-bargained for
Sweet thing, you are what's happening
You're just a bundle of love
Happiness and love.
Sweeter than the taste of honey dew
A honey-dew male is sweet, it's true
But it just ain't quite as sweet as you
Sweeping is the way to measure you
I look at the scale and it's a shame
I have more sweetness inch to inch
I have more sweetness pound to pound
Than any other sweet thing I have found.
Sweet thing, sweet, sweet thing
Sweet thing, sweet, sweet thing.
Sweeter than the taste of honey dew
A honey-dew male is sweet, it's true
But it just ain't quite as sweet as you
Sweeping is the way to measure you
I look at the scale and it's a shame
I have more sweetness inch to inch
I have more sweetness pound to pound
Than any other sweet thing I have found.
Sweet thing, you are what's happening
You're just a bundle of love
Happiness and love
Say it, sweet thing, you are my everything
You're all I need and more
Than my heart a-bargained for
Sweet thing, you make my heart sing
You turn darkness into light
You make everything alright
Sweet thing, you make the bells ring
Ding dong, and sweet and true
Attaching me to you.

I need your sweet, sweet inspiration
I need you here on my mind every hour of the day
Without your sweet, sweet inspiration
The lonely hours of the day just don't go my way.
A woman in love needs sweet inspiration
And honey that's all I ask
You know that's all I ask from you
I gotta have your sweet inspiration, yeah
You know there just ain't no telling
What a satisfied woman might do.
When you call "Baby", baby
Is such a sweet inspiration
And when you call me "Darling", darling
Sets my heart a-skating
And if I'm out in the rain, baby
And in a bad situation
You know I just reach back in my mind
And there I find your sweet, sweet inspiration.
Inspiration, yeah, oh, what a power
And I got the power every hour of the day
I need your sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet inspiration, yeah
To go on living, to keep on giving this way.
I need your sweet, sweet inspiration
And I got the power every hour of the day
I need your sweet, sweet inspiration
To go on living, to keep on giving this way.

I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you believe me
I'm giving you my heart, my heart
I'm giving you my heart, 'cause I...

You were the sunshine baby
Whenever you smile
But I call you Stormy today
All of a sudden that old rains fallin' down
And my world is cloudy and gray
You've gone away
Stormy, ooh Stormy
Bring back that sunny dayYesterday's love was like the warm summer breeze
But like the weather, you change
Now things are dreary baby
And it's windy and cold
And I stand alone in the rain
Calling your name
Ooh Stormy, ooh Stormy
Bring back that sunny day
Bring 'em back, bring 'em back
Ooh Stormy, ooh Stormy
Bring back that sunny day
Bring 'em back, bring 'em back
Bring back that sunny day
Stormy, stormy

STRANGER IN PARADISE
Take my hand
I'm a stranger in Paradise
All lost in a wonderland
A stranger in Paradise
If I stand starry-eyed
That's a danger in Paradise
For mortals who stand beside
I'm an angel like youI saw your face
And I ascended
Out of the commonplace
Into the rare
Somewhere in space
I hang suspended
Until I know
There's a chance that you care
Won't you answer that fervent prayer
Of a stranger in Paradise
Don't send me in dark despair
From all that I hunger for
But open your angel arms
To a stranger in Paradise
And tell her that she need be
A stranger no more
(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart)
Spring is here
Why doesn't my heart go dancing?
Spring is here
Why isn't the waltz entrancing?
No desire,
No ambition leads me
Maybe it's because nobody needs me
Spring is here
Why doesn't the breeze delight me?
Stars appear
Why doesn't the night invite me?Maybe it's because nobody loves me
Spring is here I hear
Spring is here
Why doesn't the breeze delight me?
Stars appear
Why doesn't the night invite me?
Maybe it's because nobody loves me
Spring is here
Spring is here
Spring is here I hear
(R. Beavers/J. Bristol/H. Fuqua)
Someday we'll be together
Say, say, say it again
Someday we'll be together
Oh, yeah, oh yeah
You're far away
From me my love
And just as sure my, my baby
As there are stars above
I wanna say, I wanna say, I wanna say
Someday we'll be together
Yes we will, yes we will
Say, someday (some sweet day) we'll be together
I know, I know, I know, I know
My love is yours, baby
Oh, right from the stars
You, you, you posses my soul now honey
And I know, I know you own my heart
And I wanna say:Someday we'll be together
Some sweet day we'll be together
Yes we will, yes we will
Someday (tell everybody) we'll be together
Yes we will, yes we will
Long time ago
My, my sweet thing
I made a big mistake, honey
I said, I said goodbye
Oh, oh baby
Ever, ever, ever since that day
Now, now all I wanna do is cry, cry
Hey, hey, hey
I long for you every night
Just to kiss your sweet, sweet lips
Hold you ever, ever so tight
And I wanna say
Someday we'll be together
Yes we will, yes we will
(Larry Morey/Frank Churchill)
Some day my prince will come
Some day I'll find my love
And how thrilling that moment will be
When the prince of my dreams comes to me
He'll whisper ";I love you";
And steal a kiss or two
Though he's far away
I'll find my love some day
Some day when my dreams
Come trueSome day I'll find my love
Someone to call my own
And I'll know him the moment we meet
For my heart will start skipping a beat
Some day we'll say and do
Things we've been longing to
Though he's far away
I'll find my love some day
Some day when my dreams
Come true
Some day my prince will come
Somewhere waiting for me
There's someone I'm longing to see
Some day my prince will come
(Brian Holland-Lamont Dozier-Edward Holland, Jr.)
Why don't you stay in my, my lonely arms
Darling, stay in my, my lonely arms.
You are so thrilling and my arms, ooo, are so willing
I can't help revealing the way I'm feeling
I need it so
Stay in my lonely arms
Darling, stay, stay in my, in my lonely arms.
Holding you close is so heavenly
I can feel the love glow deep inside of me
Please, don't go.
Darling, stay, stay in my lonely arms
Stay in my lonely arms.
Each kiss makes love just a little stronger
Ooo, makes me wanna hold you, oh, just a little longer
Please, don't go.
Stay in my, in my lonely arms
Why don't you stay, stay in my, in my lonely arms
Stay, darling, stay in my lonely arms
Why don't you stay, ooo, stay in my lonely arms
You are so thrilling, my arms are willing
I can't help revealing the way I'm feeling

Silver bells, silver bells
It's christmas time in the city
Ringeling
Hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
City side walks, busy side walks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of ChristmasChildren laughing
People passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Hear them ring
Ringeling
Soon it will be Christmas day
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ringeling
Hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day

Sleep walk
Instead of dreaming
I sleep walk
'Cause I lost you
And now what am I to do
What to do
Can't believe that we're through
I don't care how much you tell me
Sleep talk
'Cause I miss you
I sleep talk
While the memory of you
Lingers like a song
Darling, I was so wrong
But I'll be right someday
The night
Fills my lonely place
I see your face
Spinning through my brain
I know
I miss you so
I still love you
And it drives me insaneSleep walk
Every night
I just sleep walk
And when you
Walk inside the door
I will sleep walk no more
Sleep walk
Every night
I just sleep walk
And when you
Walk inside the door
I will sleep walk no more
I will sleep walk no more
I will sleep walk no more
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland,Jr.)
Send me no flowers
Send me no flowers
Just want your arms around me
Your ever loving arms around me
You sent me flowers and a ";get well"; card
After you had broken my heart
Violets that were blue
Reminded me you'd never be true
So send me no flowers
Don't need any flowers
Because your kissing, baby
Is what I'm missing, babyWhen I'm at home, all alone
You don't ever bother, bother to phone
A little affection sometimes
Will soothe this heart of mine
But you send me flowers
To ease my lonely hours
Send me no flowers. baby
Don't need any flowers
Just need your kissing, baby
and I don't mean maybe, baby
Send me no flowers, baby
Don't need any flowers, baby
I need affection sometimes
To soothe this heart of mine
Send me no flowers, baby
Don't need any flowers, baby
I need affection sometimes
To soothe this heart of mine
(William ";Smokey"; Robinson)
Ooowee baby
Honey baby, talk is cheap
So if you want my love to keep
Come and show me that you really care
Ooowee baby
Baby, come and kiss me quick
Come and smear all my lipstick
If you really want my love to share
Ooowee baby
Just one kiss from you is worth
All the talk there in on Earth
A million words don't equal just one touch
Ooowee baby
If your love is really real
Don't just tell me how you feel
If you really love me oh so much
Ooowee babyYou need more than words
In this situation
A kiss can do as much
To make communication
Cuddle me closer
And be real good conversation
So hold me tight, tonight's the night
Fill my heart with pure delight
Ooowee baby
Ooowee baby, ooowee baby
The words ";I love you"; just don't do
As much for me as just a few
Hugs and kisses every now and then
Ooowee baby
Now that I am in your reach
You don't have to make a speech
Just open up your arms and close me in
Ooowee baby
Ooowee baby
(Berry Gordy, Jr.)
Play a sad song
For a girl with a broken heart
With a broken heart
Play a sad song
Let him know that I'm still crying
Let him know I'm slowly dieing, slowly dieing, slowly dieing
So play a sad, sad song
For a girl with a broken heart
With a broken heart
I don't know why he left
We were doing so fine
He was mine, all mine
He must have found another love
He must have found another love
And put me down
So play a sad, sad, sad, sad song
For a girl with a broken heart
I gave him all the love
All the loving I had
Now he's driving me mad
He knows I've never been a cheat
I tried to make my kisses sweet
He said I made his life complete
Now he's gone
So play a sad, sad, sad song
For a girl with a broken heart
So play a sad, sad song
For a girl with a broken heart
(B. Campbell)
He was only sixteen
Only sixteen
I loved him so
But he was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
We'd laughed at sixteen
And do little things
That makes my heart glow
But he was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
Now, why did I give my heart so fast
It will never happen again
But I was a mere girl of sixteen
I've aged a year since then
He was only sixteen
Only sixteen
With eyes that would glow
But he was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to knowWhy did he give your heart so fast
It never will happen again
But you was a mere girl of sixteen
I've aged a year since then
He was only sixteen
Only sixteen
I loved him so
But he was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
He was only sixteen
Only sixteen
I loved him so
But he was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
Only sixteen
Only sixteen
I loved him so...

You know there's Dasher and Dancer
Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid
Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all?
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw him
You would even say it glows
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer gamesThen one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
";Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?";
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
";Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
You'll go down in history";
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
";Hey, Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?";
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
";Hey, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
You'll go down in history";

It's hurting me, it's hurting me
This doubt is hurting me.
So remove this doubt
From my heart, little boy
And let me live my life
Knowing you care.
Remove this doubt
From my mind, little boy
And let me breathe again
Feeling my love you share.
Each time we meet
You make me feel so incomplete
There's no joy in the air
I just don't think you care.
Close the door of doubt forever more
And may it never more make me unsure
Turn the key and lock away this doubt in me
Keep it in the dark, not in my heart
Be more tender
Completely surrender your love to me
Be sweet and not discreet.
Remove this doubt
From my mind, little boy
And let me breathe again
Feeling my love you share.
Each time we meet
You make me feel so incomplete
There's no joy in the air
I just don't think you care.
Remove this doubt in our hearts
Remove this doubt from my heart.
(Jule Styne/Bob Merrill)
People
People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world
We're children needing other children
And yet, letting our grown up pride
Hide all the need inside
Acting more like children than childrenPeople
God's children
Were born to be free
To love
All people have a dream
For peace, for security
Let the world fall in love again
Please, please, let our lies not be in vain
Lovers are very special people
They're the luckiest people in the world
With one person
One very special person
A feeling deep in your soul says
You were half, now you're whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland,Jr.)
I've got a boy
Sweet as honey
Penny pincher
But they tease him
Penny pincher
'Cause he doesn't spend his money
A penny pincher
That's what they say
So from him
Other girls shy away
But I love him
For what he is
All his love
He truly gives
He may not drive a car
But I love
Those walks through the park
A penny pincher
He may be
But oh, he means
He means the world to meI don't care
If he won't spend a dime
Just as long
As I know he's mine
Let them tease him
Call him cheap
But in my book
He can't be beat
I love him for
What is within
A tender loving
Trusting friend
I don't care
If he won't spend a dime
Just as long
As I know he's mine
A penny pincher
He may be
But his love
Means the world to me
A penny pincher
He may be
(Miller/Taylor)
Up every day at six
Bacon and eggs to fix
Four kids from one to four
Pretty soon there'll be one more
I got old floors to wax and scrub
Dirty old ring in the tub
I'll get a maid someday
But till then I'm queen of the house
No time to fix my hair
I need a new wig to wear
Old clothes will have to do
'Cause the kids all need new shoes
I got bridge club on Tuesday night
He goes out with the boys and gets tight
Its the day it makes me glad I'm
Queen of the house
I know the milk man
Ice man is coming today
They give me chips on the horses to play
And when I get some time to spare
I sit and wish that I had met a rich millionaire
Up every day at six
Bacon and eggs to fix
Four kids from one two three four
Pretty soon there'll be one more
But Sundays I'm mighty glad
I send the kids to his mum and dad
Its the day that makes me glad I'm
Queen of the house
Up every day at six
Bacon and eggs to fix
Four kids from one to four
Pretty soon there'll be one more
Sundays I'm mighty glad
I send the kids to his mum and dad
It's the day that makes me glad I'm
Queen of the house
(Adams/Strouse)
Gray skies are gonna clear up
Put on a happy face
Wipe of the clouds and cheer up
Put on a happy face
Take of the gloomy mask of tragedy
It's not your style
You'll look so good that you'll be glad
That you decided to smile
Pick out a pleasant outlook
Stick out that nobel chin
Wipe off that full-of-doubt look
Snap on a happy grin
Spread sunshine all over the place
And just put on a happy
Put on a happy face
Gray skies are gonna clear up
Put on a happy face
Wipe of the clouds and cheer up
Put on a happy face
Take of the gloomy mask of tragedy
It's not your style
You'll look so good that you'll be glad
That you decided to smile
Pick out a pleasant outlook
Stick out that noble chin
Wipe off that full-of-doubt look
Snap on a happy grin
Spread sunshine all over the place
And just put on a happy
Put on a happy face
(Berry Gordy, Jr.)
You told me that you love me
You said we'd never part
You took all my love
Then you broke my heart
Never again
Never again will I fall in loveI did everything you wanted me to
'Cause I thought your love was true
But I was blind
And I couldn't see
Why did you do this to me
But I still love you
And I always will
I still thrill to your kiss
But I'll never come back to you
Lying over this
Never again
Will I fall in love
Never again
Never again
(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart)
My romance doesn't have
To have a moon in the sky
My romance doesn't need
A blue lagoon standing by
No month of May
No twinkling stars
No hide away
No soft guitars
My romance doesn't need
A castle rising in Spain
Nor a dance to a constantly
Surprising refrain
Wide awake
I can make my most
Fantastic dreams come true
My romance doesn't need
A thing but youMy romance doesn't have
To have a moon in the sky
My romance doesn't need
A blue lagoon standing by
No month of May
No twinkling stars
No hide away
No soft guitars
My romance doesn't need
A castle rising in Spain
Nor a dance to a constantly
Surprising refrain
Wide awake
I can make my most
Fantastic dreams come true
My romance doesn't need
A thing but you
(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart)
My funny Valentine
Sweet comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my fav'rite work of art
Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?Don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine
Stay!
Each day is valentine's day
Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
Don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine
Stay, oh stay!
Each day is valentine's day
It's cost me a lot
But there's one thing that I've got
It's my man.
Cold and wet
Tired, you bet
But all that I soon forget
With my man.
He's not much for looks
And no hero out of books
Is my man.
Two or three girls has he
That he likes as well as me
But I love him.I don't know why I should.
He isn't good.
He isn't true.
He beats me too.
What can I do?
Oh, my man I love him so.
He'll never know.
All my life is just despair,
But I don't care.
When he takes me in his arms
The world is right, all right.
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know I'll come back on my knees some day?
For whatever my man is
I am his forever more.
(William ";Smokey"; Robinson)
Mr. Blues
You are my only companion
Since my baby's gone
Hey, Mr. Blues
You are my lonely companion
Since my baby's gone
How I wish you would go
Away and leave me
Oh, yeah
But I know if you do
I'll be all alone'Cause you're the only guy
In this whole wide world
That I can call my own
Hey, Mr. Blues
Why did I take you and stay with me
But you've been here every day with me
Since my baby's gone
Oh, Mr. Blues
Although I don't want to hurt you
I know I have to desert you
If my baby comes
If my baby comes
If my baby comes
Hey, Mr. Blues
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)
Something's on my mind
Mother dear the boy keeps me crying
Don't know which way to turn
Keeps me so confused
Keeps me so confused
Mother dear
'Cause for him I yearn
But he treats your daughter bad
Keeps your daughter sad
I wish I didn't love him so
'Cause now I can't let him go
His kiss gets a little sweeter
Ooh, my heart gets a little weaker
I'm falling deeper
Deeper in love each day
I know he's no good for me
But I'm too weak to break away
Ooh, each day love gets a little stronger
Ooh, heartaches lasts a little longerHelp, help me mother dear
'Cause I can't help myself
Ooh, he treats your daughter bad
Keeps your daughter sad
So many times I've tried
Telling him we're through
But when he takes me in his arms
There's nothing I can do
Ooh, it's no use
I can't break loose
I keep love him more and more each passing day
All my love to him I give it
Without him around
I couldn't live
I need him so
And he knows it
Can't let him go
And I show it
Help, help me mother dear
I'm so in love with him
But he treats your daughter bad
Keeps your daughter sad
Help, help me mother dear
Help, help me mother dear
He keeps your daughter crying
(William ";Smokey"; Robinson)
I thought that I had forgotten you
That you were just something of my yesterdays
But now that I see you standing here
All that I can say
Is let me tell you that
You bring back memories
Of all the days gone by
Apologies all of the times you lied
I recall when I used to be your girl
You used to be my guy
I thought that I had forgotten all these days
Think about these days
But let me tell you
You don't know how many memories
That you bring
Bringing back memories
Just a look at you
You don't know what you make me want to do
I want to take you in my arms and then kiss you once again
And then I'd like to ask you
Where have you been
I never thought that I would think about
These things
But let me tell you
You don't know how many memories
That you bring
Bringing back memories
Let me tell you
Let me tell you
Let me tell you I thought that I had forgotten of things
About how you looked at me
Just a look at you brings back the memories
You bring back memories
About the love we knew
D'ya think I was still in love with you
But that ain't true
I love you just like I used to do
I thought that I had forgotten all of these things
But let me tell you
You don't know how many memories
That you bring
Bringing back memories
Sweet, sweet, sweet memories
Memories
Sweet, sweet, sweet memories
Bringing back memories
