Jimmy Says Composer(s): David Buskin; Abra Bigham Performer(s): Pat Benatar
Jimmy says, "Do this.." Jimmy says, "Do this.." I say, "I don't want to!" Jimmy says, "Do this.." Jimmy says, "Do this.." I say, "I don't want to!" Trying to make up my own mind Got my own direction to find! Yeah, I know Jimmy's cool and everyone at school Usually does what Jimmy does, without thinking - just because Jimmy says, "Try this.." Jimmy says, "Try this.." I say, "I don't need it!" Jimmy says, "Try this.." Jimmy says, "Try this.." I say, "I don't need it!" Sometimes it's just no fun To feel like you're the only one Who doesn't go along, when things seem wrong But they're not my friends if they don't see That I don't like people pushing me! Hey man, what's the matter with you? Oh, come on! Everybody's going! Chicken! Nobody's gonna know! What are you, scared? Everybody does it! Come on! I might hang out with Jim But I don't need to be just like him Got to listen to myself Cause you can't let someone else Always make your move for you! Got to find out what you want to do! Jimmy says, "Try this.." Come on and try this! I say, "I don't need it!" Jimmy says, "Come on, try this.." I say, "I don't need it!" Oh Jimmy, Jimmy
I Found A Million Dollar Baby (In a Five and Ten Cent Store)
I Found A Million Dollar Baby (In a Five and Ten Cent Store) Composer(s): Mort Dixon; Billy Rose; Harry Warren Performer(s): Bing Crosby and multiple other artists
It was a lucky April shower It was the most convenient door I found a million dollar baby In a five and ten cent store The rain continued for an hour I hung around for three or four Around a million dollar baby In a five and ten cent store She was selling china And when she made those eyes I kept buying china Until the crowd got wise Incidentally If you should run into a shower Just step inside my cottage door And meet the million-dollar baby From the five and ten cent store Love comes along like a popular song Any time or anywhere at all Rain or sunshine Spring or fall Say, you'll never know when it may say hello In a very unexpected place For example, take my case
She was selling china And when she made those eyes I kept buying china until the crowd got wise Incidentally If you should run into a shower Oh, step inside my cottage door And meet my million-dollar baby From the five and ten cent store
Jimmy Mack Composer(s): Lamont Dozier; Brian Holland Performer(s): Martha & The Vandellas; and various other artists
Jimmy, Jimmy, oh Jimmy Mack
when are you coming back? Jimmy, Jimmy, oh Jimmy Mack, when are you coming back? My arms are missing you, my lips feel the same way too I tried so hard to be true, like I promised I'd do But this boy keeps coming around, he's trying to wear my resistance down
Chorus: Hey Jimmy, Jimmy, oh Jimmy Mack, when are you coming back Jimmy, Jimmy, oh Jimmy Mack, when are you coming back He calls me on the phone, about three times a day Now my heart's just listening to what he has to say But this loneliness that I have within keeps reaching out to be his friend
chorus
Need your loving, need your loving
I wanna say, I'm not getting any stronger, I can't hold out very much longer Trying hard to be true, but Jimmy, he talks just as sweet as you
chorus
Need your loving, need your loving Need your loving, need your loving... (Jimmy, Jimmy, oh Jimmy Mack, when are you coming back) (repeats out)...

I, I found a girl Anybody can see just by looking at me That I found a girl
Sun that never shined Is shinin' tonight; I'm feelin' groovy tonight 'Cause I found a girl

Stars that never shined Is shinin' tonight; I'm feelin' groovy tonight 'Cause I found a girl

Jimmy's been down He's been out and around and He knows where its at Love to be good if he thought that he could But it isn't like that He don't make mistakes What he makes he takes Jimmy gets all the breaks 'Cause he knows how
Chorus: Jimmy loves Mary-Anne Jimmy wants to be a man Jimmy loves Mary-Anne She thinks it's alright
She's not alone but She picks up the phone and hears Jimmy say Mother I'm beat I'm so sick of the streets Feel like running away Theres no life here at all The city seems so small Sweeter music is calling us away Let it play
Jimmy loves Mary-Anne Jimmy wants to be a man Jimmy loves Mary-Anne She thinks it's alright
This big dollar town can drag you right down If you go it alone Even the strong don't survive very long When they're out on their own Jimmy knows it's true Mary-Anne knows it too They can see each other through If they hold on
Jimmy loves Mary-Anne Jimmy wants to be a man Jimmy loves Mary-Anne She thinks it's alright
Jimmy loves Mary-Anne Jimmy wants to be a man Jimmy loves Mary-Anne She thinks it's alright

I Forgot The Little Things Composer(s): Parker; Charles Performer(s): Leslie Hutchinson
The house is kind of empty now Though its full of dreams Why even our canary never sings That oh so empty chair You should be sitting there But I forgot the little things
I took it all for granted, dear My slippers by the fire The kindness that a love like yours could bring But you drew all the blanks You never got a thanks I forgot the little things
I never thought a small bouquet Could mean so much to you Or what youd give to hear me say Darling I love you, I do
Ill never make the same mistake Ive learnt my lesson now I know they count those foolish little things Forgive me, dear, and then When were in love again I wont forget those little things
I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know Composer(s): Cecil A. Null Performer(s): Skeeter Davis and multiple other artists
I've forgotten more than you'll ever know about him
You think you know the smile on his lips The thrill at the touch of his fingertips But I've forgotten more than you'll ever know about him You think you'll find a heaven of bliss In each caress each tender kiss But I've forgotten more than you'll ever know about him
You stole his love from me one day You didn't care how you hurt me But you can never steal away Memories of what used to be
You think he's your's to have and to hold Someday you'll learn when his love grows cold That I've forgotten more about him Than you'll ever know about him
You think he's yours to have and to hold Someday you'll learn when his love grows cold But I've forgotten more Than you'll ever know about him

J'imagine La révolte prêchée par quelque douce femme Deux mille ans de prison dévorés par les flammes J'imagine L'amour faisant l'amour la vie faisant le reste Une révolution sans un mot sans un geste
Et la grande libert Au poing la rose Et la grande liberté La rose au poing Et la grande liberté La rose au poing
J'imagine Un peuple dynamite et pourtant sans défense Tout en lui ne serait qu'amour et transparence J'imagine Un hiver tout de neige et fleurissant quand même Pour des femmes-chansons pour des hommes-poèmes
Et la grande liberté Au poing la rose Et la grande liberté La rose au poing Et la grande liberté La rose au poing
J'imagine L'Occident sans ghettos le Brésil sans torture Et l'Afrique riant comme source d'eau pure J'imagine Le soleil se levant sur l'Asie douce et libre La vie enfin la vie comme il faudra la vivre
Et la grande liberté Au poing la rose Et la grande liberté La rose au poing Et la grande liberté La rose au poing
I Figli Della Guerra
((French Version: Les Enfants De La Guerre (by Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Georges Calabrese - Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Tutti i figli di guerra assomigliano a te Con l'età di un bambino che bambino non è Su di un pianto di madre venivi al mondo tu Tutti i figli di guerra han veduto con te Lacerarsi la terra senza un vero perché Il tuo campo di giochi cresceva intorno a te Un giardino di croci, che un giardino non è Tutti i figli di guerra sanno questa realtà Che la fame è sicura, il domani chissà Hanno un viso da grandi che non chiede e non sa Il diritto all'amore che nessuno gli dà Tutti i figli di guerra alla stessa tua età Han dormito ad un canto che la gioia non ha Han dormito ad un canto che la gioa non ha E imparato a tacere se una parola in più Troppe volte vuol dire non tornare mai più Tutti i figli di guerra, ieri come sei tu Hanno occhi profondi che non ridono più Grandi mani straniere hanno ucciso per te Tutte le primavere che spettavano a te Come te, senza amore, senza infanzia né età Indifesi a tremare per quel che sarà Han sofferto in silenzio il rosario dei guai Carezzando speranze per non cedere mai Sulle nostre miserie di sempre io e te, s Trano a dirsi, cantiamo e sogniamo perché Questo amore è una guerra che non spaventa me Né tutti i figli di guerra, come te, come me
