Love Me Or Leave Me
Composer(s): Gus Kahn - Walter Donaldson
First performance/First recording/First release by: Ruth Etting - 1928/1928/1929
Covered by multiple other artists



This suspense is killing me
I can't stand uncertainty
Tell me now, I got to know
Whether you want me to stay or go

Love me or leave me and let me be lonely
You won't believe me and I love you only
I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else

You might find the nighttime the right time for kissing
But nighttime is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else

There'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intend to be independently blue

I want your love, but I don't want to borrow
To have it today, to give back tomorrow
For my love is your love, there's no love for nobody else

Oh, love me or leave me, let me be lonely
You won't believe me and I love you only
I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else

You might find the nighttime the right time for kissing
But nighttime is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else

There'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intend to be independently blue, oh, so blue

I want your love, but I don't want to borrow
To have it today, to give back tomorrow
For I couldn't bear it, to share it with somebody else 

Here’s Love In Your Eye
Composer(s): Ralph Rainger; Leo Robin
Performer(s): Helen Ward;
and various other artists



Oh, here’s love in your eye 
And may it keep on glowing
Love in your eye just for me
You look divine 
And when we dance or dine, dear
My head goes reeling
But it’s not from wine

There’s love in my heart
And may it keep on glowing
I know that I’m aiming high
But here’s a toast
To what I want the most
Here’s love, love in your eye

All By Yourself In The Moonlight
Composer(s): Jay Wallis
Performer(s): Whispering Jack Smith
and multiple other artists



Now, boys were made for girls, and girls were made for boys
Made to share each others cares and joys
And life without a mate, is like an empty plate
And what did Adam say before he met his fate

There ain't no sense sitting on the fence
All by yourself in the moonlight
There ain't no thrill by the watermill
All by yourself in the moonlight
There ain't no fun sitting beneath the trees
Giving yourself a hug, giving yourself a squeeze
Love's a farce, sittin' on the grass
All by yourself in the moonlight

Now, she's must have their he's, and he's must have their she's
Otherwise there'd be no family trees
Why even in the zoos, they keep them there in two's
Otherwise there'd be no kangaroo's

There ain't no sense sitting on the fence
All by yourself in the moonlight
There ain't no thrill by the watermill
All by yourself in the moonlight
There ain't no fun sitting beneath the trees
Giving yourself a hug, giving yourself a squeeze
It's insane, swinging down the lane
All by yourself in the moonlight

Now it get's your goat, riding in a boat
All by yourself in the moonlight
And it's all a fake, swimming in the lake
All by yourself in the moonlight

No it don't make sense, sitting upon the sands
Whispering to yourself, ain't the scenery grand
Ther ain't no whim, when you go to swim
All by yourself in the moonlight

Now, you can't tell lies, to the butterflies
All by yourself in the moonlight
And you'll agree, that you're poor company
All by yourself in the moonlight

When you're alone, it doesn't bring to light
Kissing yourself hello, kissing yourself goodnight
And there ain't no kick, gosh it makes you ill
All by yourself in the moonlight

There ain't no sense sitting on the fence
All by yourself in the moonlight
There ain't no thrill by the watermill
All by yourself in the moonlight
There ain't no fun sitting beneath the trees
Giving yourself a hug, giving yourself a squeeze
Love's a farce, sittin' on the grass
Rahhh
I beg your pardon gentlemen
ranton
All by yourself in the moonlight
Goodnight

Here's Looking At You
Composer(s): Debbie Harry; Chris Stein
Performer(s): Blondie



As I sit staring into this liquid amber
Ripples move out to the edge of the glass
Is that really your reflection in there?
I just wanna jump into the warm depths
And be there with you one more time!
Oh alright
Hit it boys!
My initials sprayed across a pavement
Cut into your private winter room
Talk to me now
Step into my room we'll have a word or two
If I ever had a million dollars
If I didn't give it all to you
Would you lose interest?
Show me indifference?
Foot in another shoe?
Not very high heels
Not wearing sneakers too
A magazine ad a printed canvas
A basic mid shade blue suede shoe
Thought I'd like to have a little party
Thought I'd like to have a little do
Sure I stopped drinking
But for the moment honey here's looking at you!
I'll stop my drinking give you my promise true
Clean out the closet
Be existential and cast a vote for the president too
But for the action of the moment
Nothing does what it ought to do
Instant depression I learned my lesson
Nothing that I'd rather do
Come on over my place
Can't see him sideways
Honey here's looking at you

Ee, By Gum!
Composer(s): Butler - Flynn
Performer(s): Tommy Handley; Gracie Fields



The Yankee says Gee Wiz
The Scotsman says 'Ood-aye
The Welshman says Indeed You Goodness
Goodness knows just why
In Lancashire and Yorkshire
Ever since the world began
This is the expression of a strong and silent man
'Ee By Gum, 'Ee-hee By Gum
The only thing he ever says is 'Ee By Gum

He says it when he's happy
And he says it when he's glum
He means an awful lot when he says 'Ee-ee By Gum
He hears it in the cradle before he cuts a tooth
He learns it as a baby and he says it as a youth
And when he goes a courting
And his girl goes Hmm-mm-hmm-mm-mm-mmm
He looks into her eyes and whispers
'Ee-ee-ee-ee By Gum

The Frenchmen say La La
The Irish say Bedad
Os Bobbikins is what they said
When Cromwell was a lad
The Spaniard says Karumba
And the eskimo says Wow
But none of them mean half as much
As what I'm singing now

'Ee By Gum, 'Ee-hee By Gum
The only thing he ever says is 'Ee-hee-ee By Gum
He says it when he's happy
And he says it when he's glum
He means an awful lot when he says 'Ee By Gum
He hears it in the cradle before he cuts a tooth
He learns it as a baby and he says it as a youth

At the Isle of Mann or Blackpool
For a while he lose his chum
When his chum says Wheres Thou Been Lad?
He says 'Ee By Gum
Hee-ee-ee-'Ee By Gum
'Ee-hee-ee By Gum 

Here's A Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares)
Composer(s): Travis Tritt
Performer(s): Travis Tritt; Craig Eastman



You say you were wrong to ever leave me alone 
Now you're sorry, you're lonesome and scared 
And you say you'd be happy if I you could just come back home 
Well, here's a quarter, call someone who cares 

Chorus: 
Call someone who'll listen, or might give a damn 
Maybe one of your sorted affairs 
But don't you come 'round here handin' me none of your lies 
Here's a quarter, call someone who cares 

Girl, I thought what we had could never turn bad 
So your leavin' caught me unaware 
But the fact is you've run...girl, that can't be undone 
So here's a quarter, call someone who cares 

Chorus 

Yeah, here's a quarter, call someone who cares

Stacy Brown Got Two
Composer(s): Shel Silverstein
Performer(s): Shel Silverstein; Bobby Bare



Did you hear bout Stacy brown 
(No we didn't but we'd like to)
He had every chick in town 
(No he didn't but he tried to)
He had looks, he had class 
Do anything to get a little lass
And everyone would shout at him 
when he walks his girlies past
They said everybody got one 
(Everybody got one)
Everybody got one 
(Everybody got one) 
Stacy brown got two (Oooh)

Do you know the reason for his success 
(No we don't so tell us)
They say that he was double blessed 
(Not like you fellas)
They say that Stacy Brown was born 
Just a little bit deformed
Still his girl friends 
They all wake up smilin' every morn
Singin' everybody got one 
(Everybody got one)
Everybody got one 
(Everybody got one) 
Stacy brown got two (Oooh)

Why they're climbin' up the wall 
(Just to get to Stacy)
Young ones run and old ones crawl 
(He drives us crazy)
He got two and that's a fact 
But no one knows where the other one's at
On his elbow, on his knee 
Or underneath his hat
Singin' everybody got one 
(Everybody got one)
Everybody got one 
(Everybody got one) 
Stacy brown got two (Oooh)

He got two, I tell you truth it's a fact 
No I ain't seen him, but no I mean it's a fact
Well that's what my old lady told me
No I don't know why she knows, how did she know
Maybe somebody told her, huh 
Gossip, maybe it's gossip, how did she know
Maybe just seems like two 
I wanna talk to that woman
Singin' everybody got one 
(Everybody got one)
Everybody got one 
(Everybody got one) 
Stacy brown got two (Oooh)

Performer(s): Dionne Warwick; Vicky Calver



Stand here by my side
Let me hold you near me

Here, where there is love, you’re not alone
Here, where there is love, no other man has known
in good times or in bad times
I will be there and I’ll take your hand
Oh, how I love you

Here, where there is love, we’ll be strong
I’ll always be there when you need me

Here, where there is love, you’re not alone
For no man is an island and we need love
So, just come along with me ....

It Hurts
Composer(s): Thomas 'Orup' Eriksson
First performance by: Lena Philipsson - 2004



Nobody but me, could know the way I feel
 
I'm standing on the rooftop
And I'm crying out your name
I'm looking for an answer
And for somebody to blame
'Cause even though it's over
You linger on my mind, oh
 
Hurts, oh it hurts, really hurts
In the middle of the night
In the light of the day
You know that it hurts
Oh it hurts, really hurts
And I wish I could be stronger
No longer afraid
Nobody but me, could know the way I feel
Oh it hurts, oh it hurts
 
I'm trying to forget love
The pain I feel inside
I'm clinging to my pillow
And the tears I cannot hide
I wish it could be over
So I can start anew, oh
 
Hurts, oh it hurts, really hurts
In the middle of the night
In the light of the day
You know that it hurts
Oh it hurts, really hurts
And I wish I could be stronger
No longer afraid
Nobody but me, could know the way I feel
Oh it hurts, oh
 
Not easy to remember
And even harder to forget
Whenever I surrender (whenever I surrender)
Oh, you're always on my mind...
 
(Hurts, oh it hurts, really hurts)
In the middle of the night
In the light of the day
You know that it hurts
Oh it hurts, really hurts
And I wish I could be stronger
No longer afraid
Nobody but me, could know the way I feel
Oh it hurts, ooh it hurts
I wish I could be stronger
Oh, but it hurts

Here, There And Everywhere
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney
Performer(s): Matt Monro



Here, making each day of the year
Changing my life with a wave of her hand
Nobody can deny that there’s something there

There, running my hands through her hair
Both of us thinking how good it can be
Someone is speaking but she doesn’t know he’s there

I want her everywhere
And if she’s beside me, I know I need never care
But to love her is to meet her everywhere
Knowing that love is to share
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I’m always there

To be there, and everywhere
Here, there and everywhere

St. Therese Of The Roses
Composer(s): Remus Harris - Art Strauss
Performer(s): Malcolm Vaughan; Billy Ward & The Dominoes



St. Therese of the roses
I will come to you each night
Near the altar in the chapel
I will pray by candle light
St. Therese of the roses
Won't you kindly hear my prayer
Give your blessings to my sweetheart
And the love that we both share
Won't you guide us and protect us
Through the years that lie ahead
won't you fill our hearts with sunshine
On the day that we are wed
You're the little flower of heaven
Guiding all who come to you
St. Therese of the roses
I know you'll make my prayer come true

Here You Come Again
Composer(s): Barry Mann; Cynthia Weil
Performer(s): Dolly Parton



Here you come again
Just when I'm about to make it work without you
You waltz right in the door
Just like you done before
And wrap my heart 'round your little finger
Here you come again
Just when I'm about to make it work without you
You look into my eyes
And light those dreamy eyes
And pretty soon I'm wonderin'
How I came to doubt you

All you gotta do
Is smile that smile
And there go all my defenses
Just leave it up to you
And in a little while
You're messin' up my mind
An' fillin' up my senses

Here you come again
Lookin' better than a body
Has a right to
An' shakin' me up so
That all I really know
Is here you come again
An' here I go

All you gotta do
Is smile that smile
And there go all my defenses
Just leave it up to you
And in a little while
You're messin' up my mind
An' fillin' up my senses

Here you come again
Lookin' better than a body
Has a right to
An' shakin' me up so
That all I really know
Is here you come again
An' here I go

Here I go
An' here I go
An' here I go
Here you come again
An' here I go
Here I go
An' here I go

I Admit
Composer(s): George Popa - Irina Gligor
First performance by: Sanda - 2004



As in a dream, love appeared
Swept me away and made me lose control like never before
As in a dream, love touched me
I felt how it touched the bottom of my very soul
 
Now I know I find the key to my heart
I just hope this ain't a dream and that you are reality
 
I admit I fell for you so badly
And I admit you make my senses wild
I know sometimes I am looking foolish, I admit, I admit
I'll be your fool as long as you are mine, yes mine, just mine
 
It's good to be in love
It makes you touch the sky a thousand times or more
It's good to admit
That my heart starts to race when you walk through that door
 
Now I know you are the key to my heart
Just hope you're not a dream and that you'll be my everything
 
I admit I fell for you so badly
And I admit you make my senses wild
I know sometimes I am looking foolish, I admit, I admit
I'll be your fool as long as you are mine, yes mine, just mine
 
I admit I fell for you so badly, and I feel so good
And I admit you make my senses wild
I know sometimes I might act and look foolish, I admit, I admit
I'll be your fool as long as you are mine, yes mine, just mine
 
Just mine
You make me shine
You are the light in my life
 
I admit I fell for you so badly, and I feel so good
And I admit you make my senses wild
I know sometimes I am looking foolish, I admit, I admit
I'll be your fool as long as you are mine, yes mine, just mine
 
I admit I fell for you so badly, and I feel so good
And I admit you make my senses wild, oh yeah
I know sometimes I might act and look foolish, I admit, I admit
I'll be your fool as long as you are mine, yes mine, just mine, all right
Mine, yes mine, just mine
Just mine

Here With Me
Composer(s): Rick Braun; Kevin Cronin
Performer(s): REO Speedwagon



Maybe it's too late, but this feelin' is runnin' through my soul 
I think I learned what love is, but I'm afraid I let it go
Maybe it's too late, maybe you've already changed your mind
Turned lovin' into leavin', and I'm on the outside

You can take these words to bed with you, and hold on to them at night
they can erase the emptiness, and make everything alright
But your laughter and your tenderness, will never disappear
No matter where you are tonight, a part of you is Here with me

Here with me
I don't know where you are 
All I know is I need you to be 
Here with me 
I know it's not too late 
to turn around and get it straight
It's my fate to have you here with me 

I can hear your voice, promising your love will never die 
I can feel your golden skin on mine, beneath the desert sky 
So how can it be true, how can you just turn and let me go? 
Let the story of your life with mine, forever go untold 

I can take these words to bed with me, and hold on to them at night
they can erase the emptiness, and make everything alright
Cause your laughter and your tenderness, will never disappear 
No matter where you are tonight, a part of you is here with me

(chorus) 

(repeat chorus) 

Here with me (are you here with me?) 
I don't know where you are (don't know where) 
All I know is, I need you to be, ohohwhoa, 
Here with me 
I know it's not too late (know it's not too late) 
to turn around and get it straight 
Here with me...

St. Stephen
Composer(s): Jerry Garcia - Phil Lesh - Robert Hunter
Performer(s): Grateful Dead
and multiple other artists



Saint Stephen with a rose
in and out of the garden he goes
country garland in the wind and the rain
wherever he goes the people all complain

Stephen prospered in his time
well he may and he may decline
Did it matter, does it now?
Stephen would answer if he only knew how

Wishing well with a golden bell
bucket hanging clear to hell
hell halfway twixt now and then
Stephen fill it up and lower down and lower down again

Lady finger, dipped in moonlight
writing "What for?" across the morning sky
Sunlight splatters, dawn with answer
darkness shrugs and bids the day goodbye

Speeding arrow, sharp and narrow
what a lot of fleeting matters you have spurned
several seasons with their treasons
wrapped the babe in scarlet covers, call it your own

Did he doubt or did he try?
Answers aplenty in the bye and bye
talk about your plenty, talk about your ills
one man gathers what another man spills

Saint Stephen will remain, all he's lost he shall regain
seashore walk by the suds and the foam
been there so long, he's got to calling it home

Fortune comes a calling, calliope woman
spinning that curious sense of your own
Can you answer, "Yes I can"?
but what would be the answer to the answer-man?

High green chilly winds and windy vines 
in loops around the twisted shafts of lavender, they're crawling to the sun

Underfoot the ground is patched 
with arms of ivy wrapped around the manzanita, stark and shiny in the breeze

Wonder who will water all the children of the garden 
when they sigh about the barren lack of rain and droop so hungry neath the sky

William Tell has stretched his bow till it won't stretch 
no furthermore and/or it may require a change that hasn't come before

Here We Go Again
Composer(s): Paul Cook; Steve Jones
Performer(s): The Sex Pistols



Well I´ve seen you once or twice
And I think you´re rather nice
Tell me what is your name
And will you come again

How far can you spit
Is your voice like grit
Might seem out of tune
But you´ll love one day soon

Here we go here we go again
Here we go here we go again
Here we go here we go again
Here we go I just cannot pretend
Here we go we´re off again
Here we go here we go again
Here we go I just cannot pretend
Here we go we´re off again

Stop waisting my time
Get off of my line
What do you wanna ask
The sun shines out my ass

Well I was never wrong
I wrote all the songs
The same old motor runs
I ain´t no rolling stone

For Real
Composer(s): Gökhan Özoguz - Hakan Özoguz
First performance by: Athena - 2004



Oh... come on up, come on up, come on up now
What you doin', what you waitin' for?
Oh... it's time to push it, break it, rush it
Don't ever let life pass you by
 
All I know is you don't want to be part of the crowd
Realise yourself
 
You say it but don't feel it
What you sayin' has no meanin'
Don't hide your soul
For real, I'm for real
Come on up
 
I wanna bring you up
I wanna bring you up
I wanna bring you up
I wanna bring you up
Do you want? Do you want?
Up, I wanna bring you up, up
I wanna bring you up
 
Please, please, no questions, no answers
No more running around in circles
Are you in? Are you out?
Do you know your way out?
Let me take you up in the sky
 
For real, I'm for real
Come on up
 
I wanna bring you up
I wanna bring you up
I wanna bring you up
I wanna bring you up
Do you want? Do you want?
Up, I wanna bring you up, up
I wanna bring you up
 
I wanna bring you up
I wanna bring you up
I wanna bring you up
I wanna bring you up
Do you want? Do you want?
Up, I wanna bring you up, up
I wanna bring you...
 
Come on, come on
Risin' up now, risin' up now

Here We Go Again 
Composer(s): Russell Steagall; Donnie Lanier
Performer(s): Ray Charles



Here we go again
She's back in town again
I'll take her back again 
One more time 
Here we go again
The phone will ring again
I'll be her fool again
One more time

I've been there before
And I'll try it again
But any fool knows
That there's no way to win
Here we go again
She'll break my heart again
I'll play the part again
One more time

But a long tall gal makes a preacher ball the jack

Lawd, a blonde-headed woman makes a good man leave the town

Oh, ashes to ashes and dust to dust, I said ashes to ashes and dust to dust

Here Till Here Is There
Composer(s): Robin Williamson
Performer(s): The Incredible Stringband



Where will you go 
When days grow short and winds grow cold 
And green leaves are shaken 
There was a road as once I saw 
Wound with bright ivies and trumpeting haws 
Of whitest sand embroidered with flowers 
That very few has taken 

Where will you stay 
While rivers run and days eat days 
And white stars are pining 
In hopes more true in hearts more gay 
In love that is stronger and brighter than day 
In hands that heal in thoughts that play 
In all eyes shining 

Why do we talk of go and stay? 
We will all be here till here is there!
