(Ain't no woman like the one I've got) (Ain't no woman like the one I've got) (Ain't no woman like the one I've got)
Every day the sun comes up around her She can make the birds sing harmony Every drop of rain is glad it found her Heaven must have made her just for me When she smiles so warm and tender A sight for sore eyes to see
Oooh, (ain't no woman like the one I've got) Oh, no, they don't come better (To make her happy doesn't take a lot) She don't ask for things, no diamond rings (So together, like a hand in glove) Like pages in a letter (Ain't no woman like the one I love)
She can fill me up when it's down I'm goin' (I'm goin') Put a little music in my day Wouldn't be surprised if my love keeps growin' (it keeps growin') Bigger every minute that she stays away I would kiss the ground she walks on 'Cause it's my word, my word she'll obey, now Woo-ooh. (Ain't no woman like the one I've got) Well, I kiss the ground she walks on (To make her happy doesn't take a lot) She's a real good friend right to the end (So together like a hand in glove) A lonely man when she's gone (People, ain't no woman like the one I love)

(Ain't no woman like the one I've got) Well, I kiss the ground she walks on (To make her happy doesn't take a lot) I'm a lonely man when my baby's gone
When She Loved Me Composer(s): Randy Newman Performer(s): Sarah McLachlan; and various other artists
When somebody loved me Everything was beautiful Every hour we spent together Lives within my heart
And when she was sad I was there to dry her tears And when she was happy so was I When she loved me
Through the summer and the fall We had each other that was all Just she and I together Like it was meant to be And when she was lonely I was there to comfort her And I knew that she loved me
So the years went by I stayed the same But she began to drift away I was left alone Still I waited for the day When she'd say I will always love you
Lonely and forgotten Never thought she'd look my way And she smiled at me And held me Just like she used to do Like she loved me When she loved me
When somebody loved me Everything was beautiful Every hour we spent together Lives within my heart

When Shadows Fall I Hear You Calling California Performer(s): Tot Seymour; Milo Rega
You'll find every native son, when his roaming days are done has a feeling so forlorn for the place where he was born I'm no different from the rest, I've that feeling in my breast I've a longing for the Golden West
I can see each sun kissed hill, it gives me a wholesome thrill and I see the orange tree, that once sheltered you and me I hope I'll be back there soon, mid the roses' sweet perfume where each day is like a day in June
When shadows fall I hear you calling California your sheltering palms stretch out their arms Each gentle breeze brings memories of California in every dream I just seem to be going back to the one I love I know somebody who is waiting to caress me two eyes of blue, said they'd be true I'm going there where the palm trees are swaying that's where I'm longing to be two loving arms beneath the palms are calling me
Ain't No Way To Treat A Lady ((French Version: Je Veux T'aimer Comme Une Femme (by Mireille Mathieu) - 1975)) Composer(s): Harriet Schock First release by: Harriet Schock - 1974 Covered by multiple other artists
I guess it was yourself you were involved with I would have sworn it was me I might have found out sooner if You'd only let me close enough to see
That ain't no way to treat a lady No way to treat your baby Your woman your friend That ain't no way to treat a lady, no way But maybe it's a way for us to end
I was only bein' a picture With all the colors I know While you were busy looking into Wide blue mirrors and lovin' the show
That ain't no way to treat a lady No way to treat your baby Your woman your friend That ain't no way to treat a lady, no way But maybe it's a way for us to end
There's a funny kind of consolation Keepin' me sane And I'd really like to share it Crawl on deep in my brain You see the time you never felt me Lovin' you or needin' you So leavin' you now You still won't know how to feel the pain
I was lookin' out for my happiness While you were looking within And before you know your own reflection Always starts to tire you, it's happened again
That ain't no way to treat a lady No way to treat your baby Your woman your friend That ain't no way to treat a lady, no way But maybe it's a way for us to end
That ain't no way to treat a lady No way to treat your baby Your woman your friend That ain't no way to treat a lady, no way But maybe it's a way for us to end ...
When Seasons Change Composer(s): Curtis Mayfield Performer(s): Curtis Mayfield
When seasons change and we've again surpassed September A lot of scars that kind of scare you to remember Scufflin' times in seeing people trying to put you down For goodness sakes People trying to take what you know you've found Stranded in someone else's neighborhood Listening to the undertone Lord! Sure makes it a blessing to know you got your own Time makes you suffer when seasons change Can't call no names when you got your own self to blame Praying to Jesus make me a little stronger So I might live the life a little bit longer So many changes going in and out of my life How can anyone survive When everybody's been made a sacrifice Look all around and see yourself so weak and so vulnerable So you're trying to be strong but your money ain't too long And it's so terrible Don't you know if you want a good life Best look into yourself 'Cause the world is cold and everybody's bold And there's no one else Time makes you suffer when seasons change Can't call no names When you got your own self to blame Strain won't give me no satisfaction Taxes are taking up a new collection So many changes going in and out of my life How can anyone survive When everybody's been made a sacrifice Whon seasons change and we've again surpassed September A lot of scars that kind of scare you to remember Scuf flin' times in seeing people trying to put you down For goodness sakes People trying to take what you know you've found
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 cur 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 curs 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

When October Goes Composer(s): Barry Manilow; Johnny Mercer 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
