M-o-t-h-e-r Composer(s): Howard Johnson; Theodore Morse
I've been around the world, you bet, but never went to school Hard knocks are all I seem to get, perhaps I've been a fool But still, some educated folks, supposed to be so swell Would fail if they were called upon a simple word to spell Now if you'd like to put me to the test There's one dear name that I can spell the best!
"M" is for the million things she gave me "O" means only that she's growing old "T" is for the tears she shed to save me "H" is for her heart of purest gold "E" is for her eyes with love-light shining "R" means right and right she'll always be Put them all together they spell Mother a word that means the world to me
When I was but a baby, long before I learned to walk While lying in my cradle, I would try my best to talk It wasn't long before I spoke and all the neighbors heard My folks were very proud of me for "Mother" was the word Although I'll never lay a claim to fame I'm satisfied that I can spell the name
"M" is for the mercy she possesses "O" means that I owe her all I own "T" is for her tender, sweet caresses "H" is for her hands that made a home "E" means ev'rything she's done to help me "R" means real and regular, you see Put them all together they spell Mother a word that means the world to me
Girls Don't Like It Composer(s): John O'Neill Performer(s): The Undertones
Yeah I don't go for him do you ?
Here comes Eddie in a brand new car Driving like that he won't get far Kissing in the back seat all the way home You can't do that if you're on your own But what else can you do if the girls don't like it
Says he doesn't have nowhere else to go No late night movies now on radio Just a TV switched up really loud Know what I mean it becomes part of the crowd But what else can you do if the girls don't like it
If the girls want to know what were gonna do know Always up to things they're not supposed to allow Leading us on telling no Making us stop instead of letting us go But what else can you do if the girls don't like it
Take Good Care Of My Baby Composer(s): Gerry Goffin - Carole King Bobby Vee & The Johnny Mann Singers - 1961 Covered by multiple other artists
My tears are fallin' 'cause you've taken her away And though it really hurts me so There's something that I've gotta say
Take good care of my ba-a-a-by Please don't ever make her blu-u-u-ue Just tell her that you love her Make sure you're thinking of her In everything you say and do-o-o-o
Aww, take good care of my ba-a-a-by Now don't you ever make her cry-y-y-y Just let your love surround her Paint a rainbow all around her Don't let her see a cloudy sky
Once upon a time that little girl was mine If I'd been true, I know she'd never be with you
So, take good care of my ba-a-a-by Be just as kind as you can be-e-e-e And if you should discover That you don't really love her Just send my baby back home to me
Well, take good care of my ba-a-a-by Be just as kind as you can be-e-e-e And if you should discover That you don't really love her Just send my baby back home to me
Aww, take good care of my ba-a-a-by Well, take good care of my ba-a-a-by

We all look for love somewhere, sometime Girls find it first They find it morning, noon and night And it's a wonder of nature 8th wonder of the world That a man's got to chase her If he's gonna get the girl
Oh when a woman wants love A woman gets love And it's for sure she's gonna find it Before the sun comes up
Girls can get it, they pick and choose Girls can get it, men are always in the mood If she calls you for some lovin In the middle of the night She can get a man runnin At the speed of light
Girls can get it anytime they like Girls can get it a fact of life Oh you know she'll find it easy You know that she can It's like givin a little water to a thirsty man

You say my kisses are not like his But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is I'm just gonna let you pass Yes, and I'll go last
And time will tell Who has fell And who's been left behind When you go your way and I go mine

Take Back Your Mink Composer(s): Frank Loesser Performer(s): Julie London and multiple other artists
He bought me the fur mink five winters ago And the gown the following fall Then the necklace, the bag, the gloves, and the hat That was late '48 I recall Then last night in his apartment He tried to remove them all And I said as I ran down the hall
Take back your mink Take back your pearls What made you think That I was one of those girls? Take back the gown The gloves and the hat I may be down But I'm not flat as all that
I thought that each expensive gift you'd arranged Was a token of your esteem But when I think of what you want in exchange It all seems a horrible dream Eek!
So take back your mink To from whence it came And tell them to alter and rise it For some other dame
Take back your mink Take back your pearls What made you think That I was one of those girls? I'm screaming Take back the gown The gloves and the hat I may be down But I'm not flat as all that
I thought that each expensive gift you'd arranged Was a token of your esteem But when I think of what you want in exchange It all seems a horrible dream Eek!
Take back your mink Those old worn out pelts And go shorten the sleaves For somebody else

Girls Composer(s): David Bowie; Erdal Kizilcay Performer(s): Tina Turner
Girls, we come and we go We kiss, come and we go Like a breeze, brushing your cheek Like pain, like the tears on a face Girls, we come and we go Like spirits, we vanish at dawn My heart, suspended in time Like you, vanish like tears in the rain
Girls, we take our loves away Like spirits living so far away Girls, pretending to break down and cry Girls, whispering wind, what are we giving away
We used to be so happy Remember, remember, so happy I never knew how lonely Could feel
