I Found Out Composer(s): John Lennon First release by: John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band - 1970
I told you before stay away from my door Don't give me that brother, brother, brother The freaks on the phone won't leave me alone So don't give me that brother, brother, brother I found out
Now that I showed you what I been through Don't take nobody's word what you can do There ain't no Jesus gonna come from the sky Now that I found out I know I can cry I found out
Some of you sitting there with your cock in your hand Don't get you nowhere, don't make you a man I heard something bout my ma and my pa They didn't want me so they made me a star I found out
Old hare Krishna got nothing on you Just keep you crazy with nothing to do Keep you occupied with pie in the sky There ain't no Guru who can see thru your eyes I found out
I been through junkies, I been through it all I've seen religion from Jesus to Paul Don't let them fool you with dope and cocaine Can't do you no harm to feel your own pain I found out
Jinetes En El Cielo English Title: (Ghost) Riders In The Sky Composer(s): Stan Jones; A. Alpin Performer(s): Raphael; and various other artists
Leyenda de un jinete que galopa sin cesar Cumpliendo la condena de cruzar la eternidad Por traicionar en vida lo que fue su gran amor Sembrando llantos y dolor en otro corazon
Jinetes por el cielo van y no se detendran
Detras de aquel jinete van diablos en troquel Que gritan y castigan sin descanso a su corcel Son tantos los amores que en su vida traiciono Que nunca encontrara perdon en otro corazon
Jinetes por el cielo van y no se detendran
Pusieron rosas rojas en memoria de su amor El cielo se ha encendido con un bello resplandor Y ya la enamorada le ha sabido perdonar Borro su culpa la oracion, por fin descansara

Been waiting here a long long time pain and trouble on my mind You came along and made me see oh you lifted me
Shot up everything that our money could buy over and over, tryin' to find out why I was a sinkin' ship on a stormy sea oh I found love
I found love in a baby's smile I found love in an old man's eye I found love in a lover's kiss ooh I found love
All my friends thought I was cryin' it's strange to see a good man going down I gave all I had to give and you came along, taught me how to live
I want to thank you each and every day thank you baby, for showin' me the way I was a sinkin' ship on a stormy sea oh I found love, love, love, I found love ...

Jimmy's girl, Jimmy's girl Wish that I were holdin' Jimmy's girl
I'm in love with Jimmy's girl Though I've never met her Still I can't forget her Jimmy's girl

He says her lips are warm Each time they kiss good night And just as sweet as any lips can be-ee And then I close my eyes And though it's make-believe I pretend she's in love with me-ee
How I long for Jimmy's girl But her love is taken So my heart is breakin' For Jimmy's girl (Jimmy's girl)
When I close my eyes Although it's make-believe I pretend she's in love with me-ee
I'm in love with Jimmy's girl But her love is taken So my heart is breakin' For Jimmy's girl, Jimmy's girl How my heart is breakin' For Jimmy's girl (Jimmy's girl)
I Found A Rose (In The Devil's Garden) Composer(s): Willy Raskin; Fred Fisher
Lost in a city that has no pity I found a rose, Little lonesome rose Where smiling faces, hide broken hearts In happy places, where sorrow starts Some body's sister, whose folks have missed her A mother dear She's a lonesome tear For little baby, who went away She's kneeling maybe, just now to pray I found a rose, in the devil's garden Wandring alone, little lonesome rose For her the sun is never shining For her the clouds have, no silver lining I found a rose, in the devil's garden Playing the game, of the Moth and Flame Beneath the powder and paint Maybe the heart of a saint Where sorrow grows, I found a rose I found a rose, in the devil's garden Wandring alone, little lonesome rose For her the sun is never shining For her the clouds have, no silver lining I found a rose, in the devil's garden Playing the game, of the Moth and Flame But maybe deep in her heart She's thinking of a new start Where sorrow grows, I found a rose

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

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
