What Do You Mean By Loving Someone Else (When Your Love Belongs To Me)
What Do You Mean By Loving Someone Else (When Your Love Belongs To Me) Composer(s): Sidney D. Mitchell; Archie Gottler
I've been worried all day long 'Cause I know there's something wrong Tho' I've tried hard to smile I have known all the while You're not as true as I've been to you But before I let you go Here's one thing I'd like to know
Every time I look at you I don't know just what to do I can tell by your eyes are telling me lies you'll go away and leave me someday But before we say farewell There's a thing you'll have to tell
What do you mean by loving somebody else When your love belongs to me? I found you when your kisses didn't have the taste But now they've got the flavor, must they go to waste? What do you mean by teaching somebody else All the things you learned from me? Just because I taught you how to roll your eyes You don't have to run around and advertise What do you mean by loving somebody else When your love belongs to me?
Aeneas Nu Composer(s): Boudewijn de Groot Performer(s): Boudewijn de Groot
Er was geen eind en geen begin, toen Aeneas werd geboren En nu ik aan 't zoeken ben, slaan de klokken in de toren Het verhaal, voor wie 't wil horen, van een eindeloze reis
Een man veegt scherven bij elkaar en metselt zerken in de grond Ik wandel door dit doodsgevaar, omdat ons huis hier vroeger stond Maar ik ben vreemd en ongezond op een eindeloze reis
Ik kom misschien aan een station, door schele bedelaars verwacht De laatste trein ontmoet de zon, de avond valt angstwekkend zacht En ik ben vreemd en zonder kracht op een eindeloze reis
En als ik vraag waar ik nu ben, staren mensen achter kragen Daar bestraat ver weg van hen, niemand antwoordt op mijn vragen Want ik ben vreemd en al vele dagen op een eindeloze reis
En als iemand mij verwacht, kom ik terug en dan zal blijken Het was nooit zoals ik dacht en het zal er nooit op lijken Het is vreemd om neer te strijken na een eindeloze reis
What Do People Do Composer(s): Jim Croce; Ingrid Croce Performer(s): Jim Croce
Tell me, what do people do When there ain't nothin' to do? When there's nobody else around to do Nothin' with or to Have you ever been in that position in a small town motel room Where the diners all close at nine And the trucks keep a rollin' by And you just can't get to sleep Even though there's nothin' on your mind?
Tell me what do people say When there ain't nothin' to say? When there's nobody else around to help you pass the time of day Have you ever stared at the ceiling Till you thought you'd lose your mind Looked for a wall that you could climb Still you just can't get to sleep Even tho' there's nothin' on your mind?
Have you ever been stuck in a small town motel Lookin' all around but there ain't nothin' to see In a never endin' mind bendin', troublin' position Sayin' why did it happen to me?
Tell me, what do people do When there ain't nothin' to do? When there's nobody else around to do Nothin' with or to Have you ever been in that position in a small town motel room Where the diners all close at nine And the trucks keep a rollin' by And you just can't get to sleep Even though there's nothin' on your mind?
Tell me, what do people do When there ain't nothin' to do? When there's nobody else around to do Nothin' with or to Hope you never in that position in a small town motel room Where the diners all close at nine And the trucks keep a rollin' by Till you just can't get to sleep Even though there's nothin' on your mind?
Adventures In Paradise Composer(s): Minnie Riperton - Richard Rudolph - Joe Sample Performer(s): Minnie Riperton; Tuck & Patti
I believe any dream that I want to That ain't the only way of keeping hope alive And if by chance I give birth to my visions Life is so fantastic it will come as no surprise 'Cause everyday is adventures in paradise Woven well through the fabrics of time
I believe I am free, let it free me That ain't the only way of getting past the jive And every day something magical passes Sunshine on my body, rainbows bloomin' in the sky 'Cause everyday is adventures in paradise It is real if it's only in your mind In your mind
It is real if it's only in your mind In your mind Step this way for another Adventure in P a r a d i s e
Adult Education Composer(s): Sara Allen - Daryl Hall - John Oates Performer(s): Hall & Oates; David Ruffin
Afternoon in the homeroom They're about to let you go And the locker slams On the plan you had tonight You've been messin around with a boyfriend Maybe better left alone There's a wise guy that you know Could put you right In the lot the boy that's idling by doesn't rev your heart Cause it's only lonely spots He shares with you And long halls and the gray walls Are gonna split apart Believe it or not There's life after high school
And that's why the student body got A bad reputation oh yeah, oh yeah What they need is adult education Back to school it's a bad situation Oh yeah, oh yeah But what you want is an adult education
The teacher don't know about how To deal with the student body huh, huh And the underclassmen are Flashing hot and cool huh huh All your girlfriends care about Watch and wear and talkin about it huh huh Believe it or not There's life after high school
And that's why the student body got A bad reputation oh yeah, oh yeah What they need is adult education Back to school it's a bad situation Oh yeah, oh yeah But what you want is an adult education
They're calling it preparation You're waiting for a separation You're nothing but another odd number Memories that you won't remember So you got a little education And a lot of dedication But you want a little night school Maybe some of it'll rub off on you The boys are busy in the mirrors Trying to imitate their heroes You make it with a false surrender More memories you won't remember The senior with the Junior Miss I wonder what the junior wishes That she could graduate to adult That she could graduate to adult kisses
Adult education Adult education Adult education It's a bad situation Adult education

What Could Be Nicer (Mum The Kettle's Boiling) Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
Mum, the kettle's boiling Daddy what's the time Sis, look what you're doing Can't you see the baby's crying Tell your Uncle Tony Helen wants to know Did he get the letter That she sent a week ago All in all what could be nicer Than two people young at heart Looking forward to the future That together they will start When you think of all those people Who are left out in the cold All because they never dreamed That they'd be written off as old Mum, the kettle's boiling Dad, 'ere what's the time Sis, look what you're doing Can't you see the baby's crying Can't you see the baby's crying
Adrian Composer(s): Annie Lennox - David A. Stewart Performer(s): Eurythmics
Adrian - don't you understand? Fools like us are always dreaming And when you go to bed And cover up your head It's better if you try to stop remembering And the world is slowly dawning To wake up to a new clear morning Some of them just half your age Get written off, page by page...
Adrian don't you understand? Fools like us are always dreaming And when you go to bed And cover up your head It's better if you try to stop remembering Some of them just half your age Get written off page by page...
And the world is softly sleeping While your fears are in their keeping All the planet's making haste To blow to bits in outer space... Adrian - don't you understand?
What Color (Is A Man) Composer(s): Marge Barton Performer(s): Bobby Vinton; Bobby Bare
Once a little boy sat upon his daddy's knee With picture and crayons in his hand He said, when I grow up This is the man I want to be Daddy, what color is a man?
When I am a man I want to be happy I want to be strong and free Want to be brave like the soldier What crayon should I use to color me?
If you color him blue, son He may not be a happy man If you color him red, son Someone may steal his land
If you color him green or yellow He may be jealous and cowardly If you color him black, son He may never be free
Then he told his son Put your crayons away Try your best to understand Man is never made of any color And color never made any man

Adoquines En Tu Cielo, Rosario Composer(s): Mezo Bigarrena Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
Adoquines en tu cielo y un tranvia encalado en el rio el pasado congelado en tu nombre de mujer Rosario es como una novia que no tuvo en un puerto donde quiso ser timonel
Emigrantes y emigrados polizones que en buzones muerden polvo el futuro se te escurre en las manos de tu ayer Rosario tienes cuerpo de amante que uno siente que aun goza aunque tema envejecerer
En tu costa de sirenas los ulises confundidas piden aire tu presente saqueado pide pan para crecer Rosario te ha vestido de madre que cocina lo que queda para no desfallecer Rosario vas a ser esa hembra que no hay macho que domine con un palo ni con dos
Rosario eres como esas potras que te amasan cuando sienten que las tratan con amor Adoquines en tu cielo adoquines en tu cielo
Adonis Composer(s): George Goehring - Edward Warren Performer(s): Petula Clark; Dalida
Adonis j'ai rêvé d'Adonis Et lorsque j'avais seize ans j'imaginais souvent Quel délice vivre au temps d'Adonis Et pouvoir un seul instant le voir et le connaître Cet amour de toujours un beau jour S'est vite envolé quand je t'ai rencontré Adonis tu n'es pas Adonis Mais tu l'as bien remplacé car tu as su me plaire
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la Candide, solide, splendide Tu es comme cela tout cela à la fois Sans malice tu es mieux qu'Adonis Tout au moins moi je le crois Puisque c'est toi que j'aime Adonis, Adonis...
What Becomes Of The Broken-Hearted
Composer(s): James Dean - Paul Riser - William Weatherspoon
Performer(s): Jimmy Ruffin
and multiple other artists
As I walk this land with broken dreams I have visions of many things Love's happiness is just an illusion Filled with sadness and confusion
What becomes of the broken hearted Who had love that's now departed? I know I've got to find Some kind of peace of mind Maybe
The fruits of love grow all around But for me they come a tumblin' down Every day heartaches grow a little stronger I can't stand this pain much longer
I walk in shadows Searching for light Cold and alone No comfort in sight
Hoping and praying For someone to care Always moving And going nowhere
What becomes of the broken hearted Who had love that's now departed? I know I've got to find Some kind of peace of mind Maybe
I'm searching though I don't succeed But someone look, there's a growing need Oh, he is lost, there's no place for beginning All that's left is an unhappy ending
Now what's become of the broken-hearted Who had love that's now departed? I know I've got to find Some kind of peace of mind I'll be searching everywhere Just to find someone to care I'll be looking everyday I know I'm gonna find a way Nothings gonna stop me now I'll find a way somehow I'll be searching everywhere
What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life? Composer(s): Michel Legrand; Alan Bergman; Marilyn Bergman Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; and various other artists
I want to see your face in every kind of light In fields of dawn and forests of the night And when you stand before the candles on a cake Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make
What are you doing the rest of your life? North and South and East and West of your life I have only one request of your life That you spend it all with me
All the seasons and the times of your days All the nickels and the dimes of your days Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days All begin and end with me
I want to see your face in every kind of light In the fields of dawn and the forests of the night And when you stand before the candles on a cake Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make
Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes In the world of love that you keep in your eyes I'll awaken what's asleep in your eyes It may take a kiss or two
Through all of my life Summer, Winter, Spring, and Fall of my life All I ever will recall of my life Is all of my life with you
