Je Veux T'aimer Comme Une Femme
((Adapted from: Ain't No Way To Treat A Lady (by Harriet Schock) - 1974))
Composer(s): Harriet Schock - Eddy Marnay
Performer(s): Mireille Mathieu - 1975



Je n'ai jamais compris les gens qui s'aiment et qui se cachent le cœur
Moi je voudrais crier ton nom crier ma joie de vivre au monde entier

Je veux t'aimer comme une femme t'aimer comme Juliette aimait Roméo
Je veux t'aimer comme une femme t'aimer comme un soleil d'été penché sur l'eau

Je voudrais s'écrire un poème et le jeter sur la mer
Pour qu'il voyage cent milles ans avec tous les bateaux et tous les oiseaux

Je veux t'aimer comme une femme t'aimer comme Juliette aimait Roméo
Je veux t'aimer comme une femme t'aimer comme un soleil d'été penché sur l'eau

Je voudrais écrire notre histoire sur chaque fleur
La poser sur des guitares qui font chanter les cœurs
Je ne veux pas garder pour moi ce grand amour qui chaque jour
Se réveille encore plus grand et plus fort qu'un grand amour

Je veux t'aimer comme une femme t'aimer comme Juliette aimait Roméo
Je veux t'aimer comme une femme t'aimer comme un soleil d'été penché sur l'eau

Je veux t'aimer comme une femme t'aimer comme Juliette aimait Roméo
Je veux t'aimer comme une femme t'aimer…

When Push Comes To Shove 
Composer(s): Robert Hunter; Jerry Garcia
Performer(s): Grateful Dead



Shaking in the forest, what have you to fear
Here there may be tigers to punch you in the ear
Gloves of stainless steel, bats carved out of brick
Will knock you down and push you up and give your ass a kick
When push comes to shove
You're afraid of love

Shaking in the desert, wherefore do you cry
Here there may be rattle snakes to punch you in the eye
Shotguns full of silver, bullets made of glass
String barbed wire at your feet and do not let you pass
When push comes to shove
You're afraid of love

Chorus
When push comes to shove
When push comes to shove
You're afraid of love
When push comes to shove

Shaking in the bedroom, covers on your head
Cringing like a baby at the hand beneath the bed
Phantom in the closet, scratching at the door
The latest mystery killer that you saw on channel four
When push comes to shove
You're afraid of love

Shaking in the garden, the fear within you grows
Here there may be roses to punch you in the nose
Twist their arms around you, slap you till you cry
Wrap you in their sweet perfume and love you till I die
When push comes to shove
You're afraid of love

(chorus)

Ain´t no way for me to love you 
If you won´t let me 
It ain´t no way for me to give you all ya need

When October Goes

Performer(s): Diane Schuur;
and various other artists



And when October goes, the snow begins to fly
Above the smokey roofs, I watch the planes go by
The children running home beneath a twilight sky
Oh, for the fun of them, when I was one of them

And when October goes, the same old dream appears
And you are in my arms to share the happy years
I turn my head away to hide the helpless tears
Oh how I hate to see October go

And when October goes, the same old dream appears
And you are in my arms to share the happy years
I turn my head away to hide the helpless tears
Oh how I hate to see October go

I should be over it now, I know
It doesn't matter much how old I grow
I hate to see October go

When Numbers Get Serious
Composer(s): Paul Simon
Performer(s): Paul Simon



I have a number in my head
Though I don't know why it's there
When numbers get serious
You see their shape everywhere
Dividing and multiplying
Exchanging with ease
When times are mysterious
Serious numbers are easy to please
Take my address
Take my phone
Call me if you can
Here's my address
Here's my phone
Please don't give it to some madman
Hey hey, whoa whoa
Complicated life
Numbers swirling thick and curious
You can cut them with a knife
You can cut them with a knife
Two times two is twenty-two
Four times four is forty-four
When numbers get serious
They leave a mark on your door
Urgent. Urgent.
A telephone is ringing in the hallways
When times are mysterious
Serious numbers will speak to us always
That is why a man with numbers
Can put your mind at ease
We've got numbers by the trillions
Here and overseas
Hey hey, whoa whoa
Look at the stink about Japan
All those numbers waiting patiently
Don't you understand?
Don't you understand?
So wrap me
Wrap me
Wrap me do
In the shelter of your arms
I am ever your volunteer
I won't do you any harm
I will love innumerably
You can count on my word
When times are mysterious
Serious numbers
Will always be heard
When times are mysterious
Serious numbers will always be heard
And after all is said and done
And the numbers all come home
The four rolls into three
The three turns into two
And the two becomes a
One

There ain't no use
In hanging round
No there ain't no use
I'm gonna put you down
There's no room left in my heart
For you

Ain't no use
For you to cry
Ain't no use
This is goodbye
You done me wrong
So many times
Now I'm through

The best years of my life
You just wasted away
You caused so many tears
Now the time has come when you must pay

Ain't no more for you say
Ain't no more for you to say
Just take your love and go away

And it's time [we can] leave
Don't return
Baby it ain't no use
if you leave, don't return
'Cause it just ain't no use

And I'm telling you 
I've got a wonderful gal!

'Cause I love her so
When she is by my side 
I'm so filled with pride

And in the ev'ning when the sun goes down
It's never dark when she's around 

She's so affectionate and I'll say this
That when she kisses me I sure stay kissed!

The little birdies go "tweet tweet tweet!"

Everything I eat 
Must have some sugar on top 

I'm telling you the truth 
I've got the sweetest tooth 
I love a sweet lollipop
Tell me what is sweeter 
Than a sweet, sweet kiss
From someone who can be 
Oh, so sweet to me
I want you all to know this

When my Sugar walks down the street
All the little birdies go "tweet tweet tweet!" 
And in the ev'ning when the sun goes down
It's never dark when she's around 

She's so affectionate and I'll say this
That when she kisses me I sure stay kissed! 
When my Sugar walks down the street 
The little birdies go "tweet tweet tweet!"

Ev'ry time my baby and I have a quarrel
I swear I won't give in
Then my baby starts to smile at me
and I know, I know I just can't win

When My Little Girl Is Smiling
There's nothing more I can say
I see those big bright eyes
and then I realize
that girl is gonna get her way

When My Little Girl Is Smiling
I can't stay mad at her for long
Why should I want to fight
when I can hold her tight?
I just don't care who's right or wrong

When My Little Girl Is Smiling
it's the greatest thrill there can be
She gets her way it's true
but I know I won't be blue
as long as she just smiles for me

Performer(s): Dusty Springfield

Into my life 
You brought a glowing love
Like a ray of sunshine 
From up above
One day out of a clear blue sky
You darkened my life with your words "goodbye"
That's the day you left me for a stranger
Don't you know that when you left my life
Took on a change-a?

Now I'm telling you it
Ain't no sun since you've been gone

There's a big black cloud hanging over my head
Cloud of loneliness I feel like I'm dead
Ain't no flowers blooming round here for sure
Since you chose to love me no more
I guess you know you took my sunshine away from me baby, boy
You took the life from my world
Crushed my dreams
And I don't mean maybe, baby, baby
And it ain't no sun since you've been gone

Oh, my future, my future
Was as bright as the sun, yes it was
I ain't got no future since you've been gone

I guess you know you took my sunshine away from me baby, yes you did
You took the life from my world
Crushed my dreams
And I don't mean maybe, baby, baby
It seems like night in the middle of the day
Everything around me is faded and grey
Cold are the days
Dark creeps the night
Never bringing you back into my life
It ain't no sun since you've been gone

You took my sunshine away, yeah ooh, ooh, ooh 
You took my sunshine away, yes you did, ooh, ooh, ooh 
You took my sunshine away, yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh 
You took my sunshine away, oh

Composer(s): Gene Sullivan; Wayne Walker
Performer(s): Merle Haggard



When my blue moon turns to gold again
When the rainbow turns the clouds away
When my blue moon turns to gold again
You'll be back in my arms to stay 

Memories that linger in my heart
Memories that make my heart grow cold
But someday they'll live again, sweetheart
And my blue moon again will turn to gold 

The lips that used to thrill me so
Your kisses were meant for only me
In my dreams they live again, sweetheart
But my blue moon is just a memory 

The castles we used to build together
Were the sweetest stories ever told
Maybe we will live them all again
And my blue moon again will turn to gold

We're on the move!

We've got the groove!

There's been so many things that held us down
But now it looks like things are finally comin' around

we're gonna put our selves together
we're gonna polish up our act!
And if you've ever been held down before
I know you'll refuse to be held down anymore!

When My Baby Smiles
Composer(s): Irving Berlin



I don't care if the weather's fair or if skies are gray
I don't frown when the rain comes down on a rainy day
It may storm and thunder for the longest while 
Still I'll say it's a lovely day
When I see my baby smile

I don't brood when the price of food goes away up high
Didn't mind when I woke to find, that the town went dry
Let the skies be cloudy for the longest while 
Blue or gray, every things O.K. 
When I see my baby smile

When my baby smiles at me 
Oh what a beautiful day 
All my troubles go hurrying by 
Just like bubbles they fly to the sky
And I never ask the weather man 
Whether it's fair or warmer 
Rain or shine the weather's fine when my baby smiles

Ain't No Song
Composer(s): Joey Levine - David Spinozza
Performer(s): James Taylor



There ain't no melody
And I can't find a harmony
If there were a way to say it
You know I would have played it

Well, I'm a man of few words
Trying to find a rhyme
And finally it occurred to me
That I'm wasting my time
There ain't no rhyme or reason
Ain't no time or season
Ain't no way around it
I know I would have found it

There ain't no song in the whole wide world
Could hardly sing without you
There ain't no song in the whole wide world
To tell you the way that I feel

Painters use their eyes 
To show us what they see
But when that canvas dries 
We all see it differently

There ain't black or white
There ain't no day or night
There ain't no way around it
You know I would have found it

No, No, No, I might as well pack it on up
Not even this song's gonna tell you the way that I feel

When Mexico Gave Up the Rhumba
(To Do the Rock and Roll)
Composer(s): Gale Jones
Performer(s): Mitchell Torok



Down in Mexico, at each high noon
Siesta is the thing
You can find me sleepin' out in the shade
While the birds softly sing
But from the radio, there comes a U.S. show
And the disc-jockey's playin' the blues
Before they know what's happened
They're up and clappin'
To the tune of the blue suede shoes

One, two, and then rock
It's the funniest thing ever told
The day that Mexico gave up the rhumba
To do the rock and roll

In the middle of town, the pecker bullring stands
It reaches to the sky
Inside's a matador, he's got his sword in hand
And a bull is fixing to die
But from the phonograph, there comes a frantic sound
And the sword drops from his hands
The bull begins to dance, around in the dust
To the beat of a picker brass band

One, two, and then rock
It's the funniest thing ever told
The day that Mexico gave up the rhumba
To do the rock and roll

In the summertime, the tourists come
Expecting to see the scenes
Of the quiet places and the quiet faces
They read of in magazines
But in their amazement, when they find this craze
Is not in the U.S. alone
They used to dance `neath the stars to the Spanish guitars
But now they do it to a saxophone

One, two, and then rock
It's the funniest thing ever told
The day that Mexico gave up the rhumba
To do the rock and roll
