Too Many Fish In The Sea Composer(s): Norman Whitfield - Eddie Holland First release: The Marvelettes - 1964 Covered by multiple other artists
Look here, girls: Take this advice & remember always in life
Into each heart some tears must fall Though you love & lose you must stand tall 'Cause you all got to cry sometimes, I say, sigh sometimes Pull yourself together, no use cryin' forever
Because there are (Too many fish in the sea, too many fish in the sea) I say, there are short ones, tall ones, fine ones, kind ones (Too many fish in the sea) My mother once told me somethin', & every word is true Don't waste your time on a fella who doesn't love you They'll only mislead you, only grieve you Don't worry about him, let him go, do without him
Because there are (Too many fish in the sea, too many fish in the sea) I say, there are short ones, tall ones, fine ones, kind ones (Too many fish in the sea)
If a fish isn't on your line Bait your hook & keep on tryin' Don't let him get you down There's other boys around
Because there are (Too many fish in the sea, too many fish in the sea) I say, there are short ones, tall ones, fine ones, kind ones (Too many fish in the sea)
I don't want nobody who don't want me ('Cause there's too many fish in the sea) Ain't gonna love nobody who don't love me, now ('Cause there's too many fish in the sea) I don't need nobody who don't need me ('Cause there's too many fish in the sea) I don't want nobody who don't want me, now ('Cause there's too many fish in the sea) Ain't gonna love nobody who don't love me ('Cause there's too many fish in the sea)...
Oui, Il Faut Croire Adapted from: I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself - 1962 Composer(s): Hal David; Burt Bacharach; Michèle Vendôme, Claude Carrère Performer(s): Sheila - 1964
Oui, il faut croire simplement à la vie À cette vie que l'on nous a donnée Penser que jamais rien n'est perdu vraiment Que la chance nous attend On doit la chercher
Oui, il faut croire simplement à la vie À cette vie que l'on nous a donnée Apprendre à sourire quand on a du chagrin Quand celui qu'on aimait bien Vous a fait pleurer On doit savoir oublier
Avec toi, je veux connaître le monde et découvrir Toutes les joies et tous les espoirs Qu'il vient m'offrir
Oui, il faut croire simplement à la vie À cette vie que l'on nous a donnée Et se souvenir du geste de l'ami Car les mots qu'il nous a dits Pour nous consoler On ne peut les effacer
Toi qui m'a appris à regarder autour de moi Jamais mon coeur, je te le promets, Ne t'oubliera !
Oui, il faut croire, il faut croire à la vie! Oui, il faut croire, il faut croire à la vie! Penser que jamais rien n'est perdu vraiment Que la chance nous attend On doit la chercher

I Just Can't Wait To Be King Composer(s): Elton John; Tim Rice Performer(s): Elton John & London Community and multiple other artists
I'm gonna be a mighty king So enemies beware!
Well, I've never seen a king of beasts With quite so little hair
I'm gonna be the mane event Like no king was before I'm brushing up on looking down I'm working on my Roar
Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing
Oh, I just can't wait to be king! (You've rather a long way to go, young master if you think...)
No one saying do this (Now when I said that, I -) No one saying be there (What I meant was...) No one saying stop that (Look, what you don't realize...) No one saying see here (Now see here!)
Free to run around all day (Well, that's definitely out...) Free to do it all my way!
I think it's time that you and I Arranged a heart to heart
Kings don't need advice From little hornbills for a start
If this is where the monarchy is headed Count me out! Out of service, out of Africa I wouldn't hang about This child is getting wildly out of wing
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Everybody look left Everybody look right Everywhere you look I'm Standing in the spotlight!
Not yet!
Let every creature go for broke and sing Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing It's gonna be King Simba's finest fling
Oh, I just can't wait to be king! Oh, I just can't wait to be king! Oh, I just can't waaaaaait ... to be king!
You came down out of Heaven to make me happy, dear To smile away my sorrows and kiss away my tears Seems that I have loved you
though we've never met before But now you're in my heart, love, to stay for evermore
You're my angel, Judy, you're my darlin' You're the sweetest flower that Heaven ever grew My arms could never hold another 'Cause my love is only for you
The nights were dark and lonely the days were lonely too But now they're all so bright, love, cause all I see is you You came into my heart, love, from out of empty space With a song upon your lips, dear, with a smile upon your face
You're my angel, Judy, you're my darlin' You're the sweetest flower that Heaven ever grew My arms could never hold another 'Cause my love is only for you
"Well movin' down to Lousisiana, gonna leave this life behind Bye-bye California, said I finally changed my mind This restless way of livin' bout to drive a man insane To leave the sleepy village, tired of playin' those waitin' games
Well hello New York City, hope you're waitin' on my call Babe since I've been here you're the greatest one of all Well hello big time city, come on and have a ball Tired of hibernatin', let's go cruising for a fall
Well I spent some time in Wichita Thought it was the pits This life of superstratum just ain't all it's cracked up to be
To California, where the people let you be Well good morning Albuquerque Lord I must have gone insane Looking out the window Gotta catch a train Seems like lost horizons just ain't comin' up the same I hear California callin' I better take a plane Well Gotta to tell Virginia that they better let it shine This life that I've been living Street sore failure on my mind Well bye bye the old Grand Canyon California way behind"
I Just Can't Stop Loving You Composer(s): Michael Jackson Performer(s): Michael Jackson
I just want to lay next to you for a while You look so beautiful tonight Your eyes are so lovely Your mouth is so sweet A lot of people misunderstand me That's because they don't know me at all I just want to touch you And hold you I need you God, I need you I love you so much
Each time the wind blows I hear your voice so I call your name Whispers at morning Our love is dawning Heaven's glad you came
You know how I feel This thing can't go wrong I'm so proud to say I love you Your love's got me high I long to get by This time is forever Love is the answer
I hear your voice now You are my choice now The love you bring Heaven's in my heart At your call I hear harps And Angels sing You know how I feel This thing can't go wrong I can't live my life without you
I just can't hold on I feel we belong My life ain't worth living If I can't be with you
I just can't stop loving you I just can't stop loving you And if I stop Then tell me just what will I do 'Cause I just can't stop loving you
At night when the stars shine I pray in you I'll find a love so true When morning awakes me Will you come and take me I'll wait for you
You know how I feel I won't stop until I hear Your voice saying I do (I do) This thing can't go wrong This feeling's so strong Well, my life ain't worth living If I can't be with you
I just can't stop loving you I just can't stop loving you (If I don't) And if I stop Then tell me just what will I do I just can't stop loving you
We can change all the world tomorrow We can sing songs of yesterday I can say,'Hey, farewell to sorrow' This is my life and I Want to see you for always
I just can't stop loving you (Oh, baby) (Oh) I just can't stop loving you (If I can't stop) And if I stop (Oh) Then tell me just what will I do (Oh) (What will I do) (Oh) I just can't stop loving you (Why do, girl) I just can't stop loving you (And nobody but'you) And if I stop Then tell me just what will I do
Jesus cried, wept and died I guess he went up to heaven I've been downtown such a long, long time I'll never make it home by seven Won't you come & take me home I've been too long at the fair And, lord, I just can't stand it anymore
Well I went down to Chason's Walked 'til my feet got sore I never knew what laughin' was 'til you walked out the door Won't you come and take me home I've been too long at the fair And, lord, I just can't stand it anymore
Well, you can give my soul to Aabraham Give my soul to Saul Give my bones to Canada My feet they don't hurt at all
I don't know who made the highway I guess that's just my pride But I have heard the prince of darkness On his charger ride
The silver blade is gleamin' The scales are in his hands I swear another night is fallin' Don't you lose another man Won't you come and take me home I've been too long at the fair And, lord, I just can't stand it anymore
I Just Can't Make It By Myself Composer(s): Clara Ward Performer(s): Al Green; Elvis Presley; Salem Travelers
I need Jesus to guide me every day As I'm travellin' along this rough and narrow way Though afflictions fill my soul I'm determined to make the goal I've gotta have Jesus 'cause I just can't make it by myself
Every day I pray (pray) pray (pray) Pray (pray) pray (pray) I pray (pray) pray (pray Pray pray pray Pray and ask the Lord Jesus Don't leave me by myself
Every mornin' through the years I pray You know I've got to have Jesus I just can't it by myself By myself
Judy Composer(s): Shel Silverstein Performer(s): Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show
The waitress with the orange hair keeps motionin' me to hurry up and leave So I gulp my coffee - burn my mouth - grab up my coat and slippin' out I smear a streak of mustard down my sleeve And the guy behind the register takes my bread and shakes his head And looks at me as though I've blown his mind Hey, I just come here for some coffee Hope I'm not wastin' anybody's time
And Judy I'm slowly movin' back to you And I wish that I could say I'll treat you better than I used to It's just I'm learnin' lots of things I never knew back then Judy I'm slowly movin' back again Judy I'm slowly movin' back again
That blue eyed barracuda smiles and tells me she could use some brand new clothes She grabs my leg and with a wink, asks if I want another drink She's not the campfire girl you might suppose But she's so busy tellin' me her troubles I don't think she's got time For any kind of trouble small as mine Hey, I just come in here for nothin' Hope I'm not wastin' anybody's time
And Judy I'm slowly movin' back to you And I wish that I could say I'll treat you better than I used to It's just I'm learnin' lots of things I never knew back then Judy I'm slowly movin' back again Judy I'm slowly movin' back again
Well I'm stopped here on the corner, when the red faced cop says move along your way But my nose is cold and my toes are numb, I got no feeling in my thumb I think I just might stop inside that church and maybe pray But they pass the plate and they look at me when it turns out that I ain't got a dime Hey, I just come in here to talk to God Hope I'm not wastin' anybody's time
And Judy I'm slowly movin' back to you And I wish that I could say I'll treat you better than I used to It's just I'm learnin' lots of things I never knew back then Judy I'm slowly movin' back again Judy I'm slowly movin' back again

Well, I didn't come in here to cause you no trouble And bartender just forget that glass of beer And I'm sorry old buddy that I pulled her from your arms But I just came to get my baby out of here
Would you believe she's never been inside of a tonky tonk And would you believe she can't stand the taste of beer Well, I just don't know what's come over my baby And I just came to get my baby out of here
Well, I know exactly what you're up to 'Cause I've been watching what you've been doing from the door And I told you once to keep your hands off of her And I ain't gonna tell you anymore
Would you believe she's never been inside of a tonky tonk And would you believe she can't stand the taste of beer Well, I just don't know what's come over my baby And I just came to get my baby out of here...

Too High Composer(s): Paul Bollenback - Stevie Wonder First release: Stevie Wonder - 1973 Covered by multiple other artists
Dodo do do do dodo Do do dodo do dodo Dodo dodo do do
Dodo do do do dodo Do do do do dodo do Dodo dodo dodo
I'm too high I'm too high But I ain't touched the sky
I'm too high I'm too high But I ain't touched the sky
She's a girl in a dream She sees a four-eyed cartoon monster On the T.V. screen She takes another puff and says "It's a crazy scene" That red is green And she's a tangerine
I'm too high I'm too high But I ain't left the ground
I'm too high I'm too high I hope I never ever come down
She's the girl in her life But her world's a superficial paradise She had a chance to make it big more than once or twice But no dice She wasn't very nice
Ooh
Dodo do do do dodo Do do dodo do dodo Do do do do do do
Dodo do do do dodo Do do dodo do dodo Dodo dodo Dodo dodo Dodo dodo
I'm too high I'm too high I'm so high I feel like I'm about to die
I can't ever touch the sky
I'm too high She's a girl of the past I guess that I got to her at last A did you hear the news about the girl today She passed away What did her friend say
They said she's too high Too high Can't hang around anyway...
Dodo do do do dodo Do do dodo do dodo do... do... do... do... do... do... do...
I Just Called To Say I Love You Composer(s): Stevie Wonder First release by: Stevie Wonder - 1984 Covered by multiple other artists
Title In Other Languages: 1984 - Je Tappelle Pour Te Dire Que Je Taime 1984 - Pour Te Dire Je T'aime 1984 - Ik Bel Jou, M'n Schat, Ik Mis Je
No New Year's Day to celebrate No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away No first of spring, no song to sing In fact, here's just another ordinary day
I just called to say I love you I just called to say how much I care I just called to say I love you And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
No April rain, no flowers' bloom No wedding Saturday within the month of June But what it is is something true Made up of these three words that I must say to you
No summer's high, no warm July No harvest moon to light one tender August night No autumn breeze, no falling leaves Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies
No Libra sun, no Hallowe'en No giving thanks for all the Christmas joy you bring But what it is, tho' old, so new To fill your heart like no three words could ever do
