There she is! There she is!
There's what keeps me up at night
Oh, gee whiz! Oh, gee whiz!
There's why I can't eat a bite
Those flaming eyes! That flaming youth!
Oh, mister oh, sister, tell me the truth...

Ain't she sweet?
See her walking down the street
Now I ask you very confidentially
Ain't she sweet?

Ain't she nice
Look her over once or twice
Now I ask you very confidentially
Ain't she nice?

Just cast an eye in her direction
Oh me, oh my, ain't that perfection

I repeat
Don't you think she's kind of sweet
Now I ask you very confidentially
Ain't she sweet?

Tell me where, tell me where
Have you seen one just like that
I declare, I declare
That sure is worth looking at

Oh, boy, how sweet those lips must be
Gaze on it, doggonit! Now answer me

Ain't she sweet?
See her walking down the street
Now I ask you very confidentially
Ain't she sweet?

Ain't she nice?
Look her over once or twice
Now I ask you very confidentially
Ain't she nice?

Just cast an eye in her direction
Oh me, oh my, ain't that perfection

I repeat
Don't you think she's kind of sweet
Now I ask you very confidentially
Ain't she sweet?

When The Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eyes 
Composer(s): Brian Holland; Edward Holland Jr.; Lamont Dozier
Performer(s): Diana Ross & The Supremes;
Lorraine Silver; Dusty Springfield; The Zombies



He gave me the eye
But I just passed him by
I treated him unkind
But he didn't seem to mind

I told him be on his way
But not a word did he say
He just stood there kind of bold
While I acted cold

But when the love-light starts shining through his eyes
Made me realise I should apologise
And when he placed a kiss upon my face
Then I knew, Oh then I knew
That he won my heart

So I quickly apologised
Hoping he hadn't changed his mind
But not a word did he say
So I turned to walk away

But when the love-light starts shining through his eyes
Made me realise how he felt inside
And when he placed a kiss upon my face
Then I knew, Oh then I knew
That he won my heart

When he asked could he walk my way
I hoped sweet things he'd say
Instead he smiled kind of nice
As he held my hand kind of tight

But when the love-light starts shining through his eyes
Made me realise how he felt inside
And when he placed a kiss upon my face
Then I knew, Oh then I knew
That he won my heart

But when the love-light starts shining through his eyes
Made me realise how he felt inside
And when he placed a kiss upon my face

No tempo da vovó
Eu queria ser também
Pra ver se o vovô, além da vovó
Beijava mais alguém

Vieram me contar
Que o vovô era assanhado
Por isso, andava sempre
Com a vovó do lado

Não tinha jeito 
De sair fora da linha
Vovó dizia
Que só a ela ele via

Viveram sempre assim
Até que eu nasci
Mas, sempre bons conselhos
Do meu vovô ouvi

When The Lord Closes The Door 
(He Opens A Little Window)
Composer(s): Kinky Friedman; Jeff Shelby
Performer(s): Billy Swan; Kinky Friedman



When I find myself alone in my house and in my head 
And I blow the candles out and I take myself to bed 
And I'm old enough to realize, ah, young enough to know 
When the Lord closes the door, he opens a little window

When sleep closes my eyes and sends me searching for you 
And I'm feelin' blue as the sky without your love to carry me through 
And I'm weak enough to be afraid but strong enough to let it show
When the Lord closes the door, he opens a little window

Baby I'm a gypsy boy, I'll ride the night until 
I come to you like moonlight through your raggle-taggle window sill

When you find yourself alone in your house and in your head 
And you blow the candles out and you take yourself to bed 
And you're old enough to realize, ah, young enough to know 
When the Lord closes the door, he opens a little window

Ain't She Something Else
Composer(s): Jerry Foster - Bill Rice
Performer(s): Conway Twitty



Don't you love the way she talks to you
When she's feeling woman warm
And don't it make you feel so good
Just to know she's yours all by yourself
Don't you like to see the sun go down
When she's lying close to you
And can't you feel her all around
And when she loves you
Ain't she something else
Ain't she just some kind of lover in the morning
Can't your arms feel the warmness where she slept
Ain't she just all that you have ever wanted
And when she loves you
Ain't she something else
Don't you like the way she clings to you
And loves you 'till there's nothing left
And tell me don't her lips taste good
And when she loves you
Ain't she something else
Ain't she just some kind of lover in the morning
Can't your arms feel the warmness where she slept
Ain't she just all that you have ever wanted
And when she loves you
Ain't she something else
When she loves me she's sure something else

When The Lights Go On Again All Over The World
Composer(s): Bennie Benjamin; Sol Marcus; Eddie Seiler
Performer(s): Vera Lynn;
and various other artists



When the lights go on again all over the world
And the boys are home again all over the world
And rain or snow is all that may fall from the skies above
A kiss won't mean "goodbye" but "Hello to love"

When the lights go on again all over the world
And the ships will sail again all over the world
Then we'll have time for things like wedding rings and free hearts will sing
When the lights go on again all over the world

When the lights go on again all over the world
And the ships will sail again all over the world
Then we'll have time for things like wedding rings and free hearts will sing
When the lights go on again all over the world

Ain't Quite Right
Composer(s): Paul Stanley
Performer(s): Kiss



You were standin' and I was thinkin'
Of all the time that I spend hangin' around
Situation could only get better
I got closer to see what I found
In the mornin', movin' easy
Everything seems so right
But when the night comes, I've been dreamin'
Dreamin' 'bout leavin' you one more time

Girl, you gave me good love
But it ain't quite right

Mmm, no, I won't tell you
That you're the only one for me
And I'd be a liar if I promised
I could give you every single thing you ever need

You gave me good love
But it ain't quite right

Yeah, you gave me good love
But it ain't quite right, mmm

Lookin' back now seems so easy
You were the best thing ever happened to me
I can't complain
It was worth every minute we had

'Cause, you gave me good love
But it ain't quite right

Yeah, you gave me good love
But it ain't quite right

Throw me away
You can treat me like trash
But still I turn around babe
An' give ya all-a my cash

You can send me far away
Somewhere down on the track, now
But just like a boomerang baby you know
I'll come right back

There ain't nothin' you can do, darlin'
To stop me from lovin' you
Oh, there's nothin' you can say, darlin'
Little girl, to drive me away

You can call me names
In the presence of my friend
That wouldn't hurt my feelin's
You know that wouldn't mean a thing

It's gonna take a miracle
To drive me away
I'll be around babe, until I'm old an' gray

There is nothin' you can do babe
To stop me from lovin' you
Oh, there's nothin' you can say, little girl
Darlin', to drive me away

Oh, hahaha, come on, ya'all
Well, alright

You can play with my heart
Like kids play with toys
I wouldn't give a damn
If ya tore it apart

You can walk all over me
Then treat me like dirt
So much in love wit' cha darlin'
I wouldn't even feel the hurt

There is nothin' you can do, babe
To stop me from lovin' you
No, there's nothin' you can say, little girl
Honey, to drive me away

'Cause I'm satisfied, with the love ya give
I love ya baby, an' I know it's for real
It's gonna take a miracle to drive me away
But I'll be lovin' ya darlin' until I'm old an' gray

There is nothin' you can do babe
To stop me from lovin' you
Hey, there is nothin' you can say, little girl
Honey to drive me away

Woo! hoo-hoo!

Well, alright!
Um!
Oh!
Woo!
Woo!
Well, alright!

When The King Enjoys His Own Again
(Traditional)



Let rogues and cheats prognosticate
Concerning king's or kingdom's fate
I think myself to be as wise
As he that gazeth on the skies
My sight goes beyond
The depth of a pond
Or rivers in the greatest rain
Whereby I can tell
That all will be well
When the King enjoys his own again
Yes, this I can tell
That all will be well
When the King enjoys his own again

There's neither Swallow, Dove, or Dade
Can soar more high or deeper wade
Nor show a reason from the stars
What causeth peace or civil wars
The man in the moon
May wear out his shoon
By running after Charles his wain
But all's to no end
For the times will not mend
Till the King enjoys his own again
Yes, this I can tell
That all will be well
When the King enjoys his own again

Full forty years this royal crown
Hath been his father's and his own
And is there anyone but he
That in the same should sharer be?
For better may
The scepter sway
Than he that hath such right to reign?
Then let's hope for a peace
For the wars will not cease
Till the king enjoys his own again
Yes, this I can tell
That all will be well
When the King enjoys his own again

Though for a time we see Whitehall
With cobwebs hanging on the wall
Instead of gold and silver brave
Which formerly was wont to have
With rich perfume
In every room,
Delightful to that princely train
Yet the old again shall be
When the time you see
That the King enjoys his own again
Yes, this I can tell
That all will be well
When the King enjoys his own again

Then fears avaunt, upon the hill
My hope shall cast her anchor still
Until I see some peaceful dove
Bring home the branch I dearly love
Then will I wait
Till the waters abate
Which now disturb my troubled brain
Then for ever rejoice
When I've heard the voice
That the King enjoys his own again
Yes, this I can tell
That all will be well
When the King enjoys his own again

Keep Away From The Fellow Who Owns An Automobile
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Ada Jones



There's a certain flirtin' man with money in the bank
The man I mean owns a machine, the kind you have to crank
His great delight is to invite a girlie for a whirl
In his machine and I just mean to kind o' warn each girl

Keep away from the fellow who owns an automobile
He'll take you far in his motor car
Too darn far from your Pa and Ma
If his forty horsepower goes sixty miles an hour say
Goodbye forever, goodbye forever
There's no chance to talk, squawk or balk
You must kiss him or get out and walk
Keep away from the fellow who owns an automobile

Mary White went out one night in Harry's new machine
They rode quite far when Harry's car ran out of gasoline
The hour was late and sad to state no gas could Harry get
The latest word I overheard is that they're walking yet

Keep away from the fellow who owns an automobile
He'll take you far in his motor car
Too darn far from your Pa and Ma
If his forty horsepower goes sixty miles an hour say
Goodbye forever, goodbye forever
There's no chance to talk, squawk or balk
You must kiss him or get out and walk
Keep away from the fellow who owns an automobile

When The Heartache Is Over
Composer(s): John Reid; Graham Stack
Performer(s): Tina Turner; Vonda Shepard



Once in a lifetime you find
Someone to show you the way
Someone to make your decisions
And I let you lead me astray

Who did you think you were fooling
Said you were missing me blind
But the truth is I knew you were lying
You were using me time after time

chorus
When the heartache is over
I know I won't be missing you
Won't look over my shoulder
'Cause I know that I can live without you

Time to move on with my life now
Leaving the past all behind
I can make my own decisions
It was only a matter of time
Sometimes I look back in anger
Thinking about all the pain
But I know that I'm stronger without you
And that I'll never need you again

chorus

When the heartache is over
I know I won't be missing you
Won't look over my shoulder
'Cause I know that I can live without you

chorus repeat

When the heartache is over
I know I won't be missing you
Won't look over my shoulder
'Cause I know that I can live without you
When the heartache is over
I know I won't be missing you
Won't look over my shoulder
'Cause I know that I can live without you
Yeah I can live without you
Oh I can live without you

Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing
Composer(s): Nickolas Ashford - Valerie Simpson
First release by: Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - August 1968
Covered by multiple other artists



Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing

I got your picture hangin' on the wall
It can't see or come to me when I call your name
I realize it's just a picture in a frame

I read your letters when you're not near 
But they don't move me
And they don't groove me like when I hear
Your sweet voice whispering in my ear

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing

I play my games, a fantasy
I pretend I'm not in reality
I need the shelter of your arms to comfort me

No other sound is quite the same as your name
No touch can do half as much to make me feel better
So let's stay together

I've got some memories to look back on
And though they help me when you phone
I'm well aware nothing can take the place of you're being there

So glad we got the real thing
So glad we got the real thing
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Say it loud like you're proud
Ain't nothing like the real thing

Ain't Nothing 'Bout You
Composer(s): Rivers Rutherford - Tom Shapiro
Performer(s): Brooks & Dunn



Once I thought that love was something I could never do
Never knew that I could feel this much
But this yearning in the deep part of my heart for you
Is more than a reaction to your touch
It's a perfect passion and I can't get enough

The way you look, the way you laugh
The way you love with all you have
There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me
The way you kiss 
The way you cry
The way you move when you walk by
There's ain't nothing bout you (there ain't nothing bout you)
That don't do something for me

In my life I've been hammered by some heavy blows
That never knocked me off my feet
All you gotta do is smile at me and down I go
And baby it's no mystery why I surrender
Girl you got everything

The way you look, the way you laugh
The way you love with all you have
There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me
The way you kiss
The way you cry
The way you move when you walk by
There's ain't nothing bout you (there ain't nothing bout you)
That don't do something for me

I love your attitude, your rose tattoo, your every thought
Your smile, you lips and girl the list goes on and on and on 

The way you look, the way you laugh
The way you love with all you have
There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me
The way you kiss 
The way you cry
The way you move when you walk by
There's ain't nothing bout you (there ain't nothing bout you)
That don't do something for me

The way you look, the way you laugh 
The way you love with all you have
Your dance, your drive 
You make me feel alive

The way you talk, the way you tease 
Right now I think you see
There ain't nothing bout you that don't do something for me 

When The Earth Moves Again 
Composer(s): Paul Kantner
Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane



In golden Hannibal Carthage days marchin' onto Rome
knockin' on the door and findin' nobody home there
Rome she cut our army down and left them in the snow so now
I go to where I come from now I go home to the Sun
When the earth moves again 
when the earth moves again my friend
let the lady ride on thru 
when the earth moves again

Egyptian kings they sing of Gods and pyramids of stone
and they left the deserts clean and they left the deserts
golden and shinin' as a beacon for those that need a road 
into the day and thru the night we go and find our way home
when the earth moves again
my love to all the people I leave behind 
search out the new ground around you
when the earth moves again
your head can pull your lady around 
and you can leave whenever you can and the ground
take what you and on the land sea foam glass is sand
if you've only lived on earth you've never seen the sun
or the promise of a thousand other suns that glow beyond here
and if you care to see the future look into the eyes
of your young dancing children don't be afraid of our ways
when the earth moves again
when the earth moves again
watch the lady ride and sigh 
when the earth moves again
Moses Moses the red sea closes over you when you
least expect it to
when the earth moves again
when the earth moves again

When The Cactus Is In Bloom
Composer(s): Jimmie Rodgers
Performer(s): Jimmie Rodgers;
and various other artists



The cattle prowled and the coyotes howled
out on the Great Divide
I never done no wrong, just singing a song
as down the trail I ride
Rattle snakes rattle at the prairie dogs
you hear that mournful tune
It's roundup time away out West
When the cactus is in bloom
Daylight comes and the cowhand yell
they call out ev'ry man
I throw my saddle on my old cowhorse
and drink my coffee from a can
The sun goes down on the cattle trail
and I'm gazing at the moon
It's roundup time away out West
When the cactus is in bloom
We don't have cold weather
it never snows or rains
That is where the sunshine's best
out on the western plains
Some of the boys have gone away
but they will be back soon
It's roundup time away out West
When the cactus is in bloom
Daylight comes and the cowhand yell
they call out ev'ry man
I throw my saddle on my old cowhorse
and drink my coffee from a can
The sun goes down on the cattle trail
and I'm gazing at the moon
It's roundup time away out West
When the cactus is in bloom

After midnight, when the boys talk about the girls
Oh, my darlin', what do you say
Do you tell them that you love me
After midnight, when the boys talk about the girls

Oh, my darlin', do you tell them
Little secrets that you shouldn't
After midnight, when the boys talk about the girls

Do they say we won't last
As one week or two has passed
Do they keep tellin' you
That then we'll love somebody new

Oh, my darlin', don't believe them

Composer(s): Nickolas Ashford - Valerie Simpson
Performer(s): Rufus & Chaka Khan; Ashford & Simpson; Diana Ross



Could it be that he's interested
Or am I just wanting it be so
Do I dare speak to him
Or should I let the moment go

Forget this hunger inside
Forget this hunger inside
Should I let the feelin' flow
Should I just let it flow
Ain't nothin' but a maybe?
Oh and baby, I sure would like to know

Could it be he's just friendly
And that's nothing to get excited about
On the other hand he could be answering
The good vibrations I'm sendin' out
Well I just don't know
What I really see in
Should I make a move
Or keep on daydreamin'
Ain't nothin' but a maybe
Oh and maybe baby, I sure would like to know

Wanna know? wanna know?

Could it be that he's interested
Or should I let the moment go and

Forget this hunger inside
Forget this hunger inside
Should I let the feelin' flow
Should I just let it flow
Ain't nothin' but a maybe?
Oh and baby, I sure would like to know

Repeat

Forget this hunger inside
Forget this hunger inside
Should I let the feelin' flow
Should I just let it flow
Ain't nothin' but a maybe
Ain't nothin' but a maybe
