Take It Back
Composer(s): Jack Bruce - Pete Brown
First release by: Cream - 1967



Take it back, take it back, take that thing right out of here
Right away, far away, take that thing right out of here

Don't let them take me to where streams are red
I want to stay here and sleep in my own bed
Need all your loving, long blonde hair
Don't let them take me 'cause I'm easily scared
Take it back, take it back, take that thing right out of here

Take it back, take it back, take that thing right out of here
Right away, far away, take that thing right out of here

I got this great need, the need to stay alive
Not ashamed of my creed, I've got to survive
So come on baby, don't go away
Just let them save me for a rainy day
Take it back, take it back, take that thing right out of here

I got this need, the need to stay alive
Not ashamed of my creed, I've got to survive
So come on baby, don't go away
Just let them save me for a rainy day
Take it back, take it back, take that thing right out of here

Take it back, take it back, take that thing right out of here
Right away, far away, take that thing right out of here

I got this thing, I've got to keep it sharp
Don't go to places where it won't shine in the dark

So come on baby, don't go away
Just let them save me for a rainy day
Take it back, take it back, take that thing right out of here

Mother And Child Reunion
Composer(s): Paul Simon
Originally performed by: Paul Simon
Covered by various other artists



No I would not give you false hope
On this strange and mournful day
But the mother and child reu-nion
Is only a motion away, oh, little darling of mine
I can't for the life of me
Remember a sadder day
I know they say let it be
But it just don't work out that way
And the course of a lifetime runs
Over and over again

No I would not give you false hope
On this strange and mournful day
But the mother and child reu-nion
Is only a motion away, oh, little darling of mine

I just can't believe it's so
and though it seems strange to say
I never been laid so low
In such a mysterious way
And the course of a lifetime runs
Over and over again

But I would not give you false hope
On this strange and mournful day
When the mother and child reu-nion
Is only a motion away, 
Oh, oh the mother and child reunion
Is only a motion away
Oh the mother and child reu-nion
Is only a moment away

Baron Rojo; Beki Bondage; Robin McAuley



I've been around the world
I've seen a million girls
Ain't one of them got
What my lady she's got
She's stealin' the spotlight
Knocks me off my feet
She's about to start a landslide
Just a-walkin' down the street
Wearin' dresses so tight
And lookin' dynamite
About to blow me out

No doubt about it
Can't live without it

(chorus)
The girl's got rhythm (Girl's got rhythm)
The girl's got rhythm (Girl's got rhythm)
She's got the backseat rhythm (Backseat rhythm)
The girl's got rhythm

She's like a lethal brand
Too much for any man
She gives me first degree
She really satisfies me
Love me till I'm legless
Aching and sore
Enough to stop a freight train
Or start the Third World War
You know I'm losin' sleep
I'm in too deep
And my body needs love

No doubt about it
Can't live without it

(repeat chorus)

(solo)

You know she moves like sin
And when she lets me in
It's like liquid love

No doubt about it
Can't live without it

(repeat chorus, then this variation:)
You know she's really got the rhythm (Girl's got rhythm)
She's got the backseat rhythm (Backseat rhythm)
Rock n' roll rhythm (Rock n' roll rhythm)
Girl's got rhythm

Girl's Eyes
Composer(s): Keith Moon
Performer(s): The Who; Fastbacks



Girl's eyes, butterflies, how she cries
can't get through to you
She knows all the charts, breaks her heart
thinks a lot of you
Each time you play a melody, it means the earth to this little girl
Can you be cruel and break her heart, tear her small world apart

She's there, eyes aglow, very front row, don't throw sticks at her
Please don't look her way, see her way, don't care anyway

It's you who led her on, I see
Just leave her down in her misery
She don't want help from you and me
Can't tell a note from a symphony

It's you who led her on, I see
Just leave her down in her misery
She don't want help from you and me
Can't tell a note from a symphony

Girl's eyes, butterflies, how she cries, can't get through to you
She knows all the charts, breaks her heart, thinks a lot of you
Each time you play a melody, it means the earth to this little girl
Can you be cruel and break her heart, tear her small world apart

Girls Don't Nag Your Husbands
Composer(s): Davis; Taylor
Performer(s): Lonzo & Oscar



Girls don't nag your husbands
They are your pride and joy
You know before you hooked him
He was his mother's boy

She sacrificed her darling
That you might happy be
Girls don't nag your husbands
They must be weary free

Girls don't smoke cigarettes
He wants your love you know
And don't drink whiskey either
Just give your man a fair show

Your maw used to drink saspariller
Be careful how you act
If you want a cigarette
Just try some chewing wax

(Oscar what did your wife say to you the other night
When you got home late?
Oh Lonzo she really told me off
Did she sure enough?
She said:

(This part sped up)
But the most prominent color is a rose bouquet on a live __________
I've been wondering how it would look on a potted blue rug
Well they have a potted blue background with a floral patterned rug)

Don't call your husbands a hootenanny
Remember if you do
Some big old blonde hair flapper
With great big eyes of blue

Will gaze around and see him
And steal his love away
Oh girls don't nag your husbands
You'll never know such a day

Girls don't wink at other boys
Your husband won't like it you know
And don't throw kisses either
Just give your man a fair show

Don't do things to make your neighbors
Think your husbands an old hen-pecked
Now we're both married men, girls
So we know what a man expects

(Well looky there Oscar here comes your wife
Well so it is ain't it Lonzo? Yes sure, it is
Well hello there darlin'

(This part sped up)
But the most prominent color is a rose bouquet on a live __________
I've been wondering how it would look on a potted new rug
Well they have a potted blue background with a floral patterned rug)

Now we're both married men, girls
So we know what a man expects

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

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

Just, take good care of my ba-a-a-by

No one lets it show 
I've been shadows of myself 
How was I to know?

Girls Can't Do What The Guys Do
Composer(s): Willie Clarke; Clarence Reid
Performer(s): Betty Wright; Dusty Springfield



The guys are gonna wander
Go out and play some times
But girls you must not let it get you down
Just take this advice I give you just like a mother
You try to match your guy just for two
Don't try to do the things that the guys do 
Girls you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
Girls you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady, no

And listen girls when you give your heart away 
You can easily be hurt
And the least little wrong he does
Always seems like dirt
So take this advice I give you just like a mother
You try to match your man just for two
Don't try to do the things the guys do 
Cause girls you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
Girls you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady, no

When you put your faith in one guy
Sometimes he'll make you happy 
sometimes he'll make you cry 
But don't lose your self-respect 
Trying to get revenge
Cause no matter how you do it
You'll lose it in the end
Cause girls you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
Girls you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady, no

Hello darlin', my it's good to hear you
I'm at the railroad station in St. Paul
How are all the folks, I'd love to see 'em
But, girl, I'd love to see you most of all

Well I've been staring at the rain
And I've been thinkin'
Ever since the train lest Montreal
Thought I'd always
Love this life I'm living
But now I know I love you most of all

Many times before
I know I swore
That I'd come home
To stay...
But it always seems
That the foolish dreams
And trains got in my way

Tomaorrow there will be snow in Minnesota
But I won't be around to watch it fall
I'll be heading for that old familiar station
Hopin' you still love me...most of all

Girl, you know I love you most of all
I miss ya, baby, most of all
I miss ya baby, most of all

Girls Can Get It
Composer(s): Leslie Pearl
Performer(s): Dr. Hook



Girls have it made
Girls have more fun
Girls have their way
To get lovers anytime they want
Anytime she needs some lovin
Any time she just gives a sign
It won't take her long
To find a man to oblige

Guys got to plot
Guys got to plan
Guys got to lie, cheat, steal
Do anything he can
Anything to get her to love him
Anything to make her agree
That's the way it's been
Since Adam and Eve

Girls can get it anytime they want
Girls can get it where a man often won't
Everybody's always after
Some lovin now and then
A woman gets it faster than any man can

Girls can get it anytime they like
Girls can get it a fact of life
If she calls you for some lovin
In the middle of the night
She can get a man runnin
At the speed of light

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

Take Care Of This House
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Leonard Bernstein
Performer(s): Julie Andrews
and multiple other artists



Here in this shell of a house
this house that is struggling to be
falling through the hall
coming straight through the wall
is hope staring down at me
but there's nothing you can see
sadness will flow down a cheek
courage stand out like a tree
Joy, joy is as bright
as a comet in flight
but hope isn't easy to see

Take Care Of This House
keep it from harm
if bandits break in sound the alarm
Care for this house
shine it by hand 
and keep it so clean
the glow can be seen all over the land

be careful at night
check all the doors
if someone makes off with a dream
the dream will be yours
Take Care Of This House
be always on call
for this house is the home of us all

Be careful at night
check all the doors
if someone makes off with a dream
the dream will be yours
Take Care Of This House
be always on call
for this house its the home of us all

Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine)
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Performer(s): Bob Dylan
and various other artists



You say you love me and you thinking of me
But you know you could be wrong
You say you told me that you want to hold me
But you know you're not that strong

I just can't do what I done before
I just can't beg you any more
I'm gonna let you pass
And I'll go last

And time will tell
Just who has fell
And who's been left behind
When you go your way and I go mine

You say you disturb me and you don't deserve me
But you know sometimes you lie
You say you're shakin' and you're always achin'
But you know how hard you try

Sometimes it gets so hard to care
You can't be this way everywhere
And I'm gonna let you pass
Yes and I'll go last

And time will tell
Just who has fell
And who's been left behind
When you go your way and I'll go mine

Well the judge he holds a grudge
He's gonna call on you
But he's badly built and he walks on stilts
Watch out he don't fall on you

You say you're sorry for telling stories
That you know I believe are true
You say you got some other kind of lover
And I yes I believe you do

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
