It's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you All I can do to keep from letting it show Yeah it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you All I can do to keep from telling you so I wasn't looking for love when I found you Just someone to be with and have a good time But I get these strange funny feelings around you When you're not with me, you're still on my mind
And it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you All I can do to keep from letting it show Yeah it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you All I can do to keep from telling you so
I had intended to wait for a long time I thought that love would just mess up my plans 'Cause I had big plans for a bright shining future Could this be my future that's holding my hand
And it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you All I can do to keep from letting it show Yeah it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you All I can do to keep from telling you so
I need to tell you how I feel about you But I'm so afraid that you don't feel the same But if I don't tell you how I feel about you I just might lose you, can I take that chance
And it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you All I can do to keep from letting it show Yeah it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you All I can do to keep from telling you so
Who Do You Think You Are? Composer(s): Des Dyer; Clive Scott Performer(s): Bo Donaldson & The Heywoods
Who am I? I'm just a guy who only wants to try To do what's right and never make you cry But you're no good to me, and
Who do you think you are? You try to push me a bit too far And every day sees another scar Tell me, who do you think you are? If you want me there, you gotta care Who do you think you are, taking advantage of me this way? Who do you think you are, hurting me more with everything you say? It's not fair, you don't care Who do you really think that you are?
Where are we? We're at the crossroads and I just can't see Which road to take to keep you here with me The lights are down and baby,
Who do you think you are? You try to push me a bit too far And every day sees another scar Tell me, who do you think you are? If you want me there, you gotta care Who do you think you are, taking advantage of me that way? Who do you think you are, hurting me with everything you say? It's not fair, you don't care Who do you really think that you are?

Yeah, baby, who do you think you are? You try to push me a bit too far And every day sees another scar Tell me, who do you think you are?

Who Do You Love? Composer(s): Ellis McDaniel Performer(s): Bo Diddley; and various other artists
I walked 47 miles of barbed wire Used a cobra snake for a neck tie Got a brand new house on the roadside Made out of rattlesnake hide I got a brand new chimney made on top Made out of human skulls Now come on darling let's take a little walk, tell me
Who do you love Who do you love Who do you love Who do you love
Arlene took me by the hand And said oooh eeeh daddy I understand
Who do you love Who do you love Who do you love Who do you love
The night was black and the night was blue And around the corner an ice wagon flew A bump was a hittin' lord and somebody screemed You should have heard just what I seen
Who do you love Who do you love Who do you love Who do you love
Arleen took me by my hand, she said Ooo-ee Bo you know I understand I got a tombstone hand and a graveyard mind I lived long enough and I ain't scared of dying
Who do you love Who do you love Who do you love Who do you love

Nooit meer sombere buien, angst voor het bestaan Bij mij, ben je echt veilig Jouw vrijheid is mij heilig
Nooit meer angstig huilen Het zonlicht droogt de traan Bij mij vind je bescherming, in troostende omarming
Breng de liefde in mijn eenzaam leven Zing de zomer in mijn angstig hart
Zeg me, 'zonder jou kan ik niet leven' Zeg me, dat in waarheid en in trouw Meer vraag ik niet van jou
Kom maar bij me schuilen Kruip maar dicht bij mij Liefste, niemand zal het wagen, om jou angst aan te jagen
Wat ik wil, is vrijheid Wat ik wil, is licht En jij, jij zult me strelen en alles met me delen
Beloof me dan voorgoed bij mij te blijven Deel de morgen, deel de dag, de nacht Angst en eenzaamheid, zal ik verdrijven Elke dag, maak ik de hemel blauw Liefste, meer vraag ik niet van jou
Deel met mij de liefde heel mijn leven Wijs de weg en ik ga met je mee Deel met mij de dag, de nacht, de morgen Zeg die woorden
Ik hou van jou
Liefste, meer vraag ik niet van jou
Elke dag, maak ik de hemel blauw Liefste, meer vraag ik niet van jou

Ein Venedig in grau seh' ich heute vor mir Damals war es so schön da sah ich es mit dir
So verlassen und leer schien die Stadt mir noch nie Ein Venedig in grau voller Melancholie
Barcarolen der Nacht weht der Wind zu mir her Aber sind sie verstummt schmerzt die Stille noch mehr
Ein Venedig in grau ohne dich bin ich hier Die große Traurigkeit geht immer neben mir
Ein Venedig in grau ein verlorener Traum All die Schönheit, die Pracht heute seh' ich sie kaum
Ich schau weg, wenn ein Paar in der Gondel sich küßt Ein Venedig in grau in dem du nicht mehr bist
Wenn die Sonne verglüht steh' ich einsam am Meer Meine Hand sucht die deine doch sie bleibt leer
Ein Venedig in grau das bescheint zwar der Mond Doch traurig frag ich ihn ob sich die Mühe lohnt
Nein, wohin ich hier schau tut das Herz mir nur weh Drum ihr Tauben, ihr Brücken sage ich euch "Adieu"
Doch ich fürchte nur sehr wohin ich immer geh' Ist Venedig in grau bis ich dich wiederseh'
All I ask Is dont hold back your love All I ask Is dont hold back your love
If your love is mine, how could you hold back When you know Ive given everything Ill always be here for you, baby You, my love will never change
All I ask Is dont hold back your love All I ask Is dont hold back your love
Hey, girl, dont you sit around with your head hangin down You know Ill give you everything Ill always be here for you, baby You, my love will never change
All I ask Is dont hold back your love All I ask Is dont hold back your love
Dont try to hide what youre feeling, girl Dont try to hide if you really care Ill be the one if you let me, baby
All I ask Is dont hold back your love All I ask Is dont hold back your love
Who Could Forget You French Title: Inoubliable Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Pierre Delanoë Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Who could forget you Who could regret you Can't hold the shifting sands Madness to love you But I have to My life is in your hands, and
Who could forget you Once I had met you Nothing could be the same Fire and water Angel's face and devil's daughter For you, love's just a game
We were lovers, then engaged And in desire chained each other as emotion raged Impassioned and insane Still our bound remains To survive even death Written in our stars and blood Eternally, we'll love together
Who could forget you Who could regret you No one could take your place Illuminating, ever-changing, fascinating Your presence thrills me, your being fills me You are my state of grace
Who could forget you Destiny sent you Child of confusing charms Contrite, concealing In the naked night revealing When you caress me Then you possess me In dreams, and in my arms

Who do you think you are Standing in the dark Are you waiting for me Why can't I reach you from here And how do I get to you Won't you let me through Don't you think maybe we Have something special to be shared...
Well all I am Is lonely (just) like you All I wanna do Is have one dream come true All I am is handing you my heart And hoping to be part of you

Make no sound, tip-toe across the floor If he hears, hell knock all day Ill be trapped, and here Ill have to stay Ive done no harm, I keep to myself Theres nothing wrong with my state of mental health I like it here with my childhood friend Here they come, those feelings again!

Is it the man come to take me away? Why do they follow me? Its not the future that I can see Its just my fantasy
Oh...who can it be now? Oh...who can it...who can it... Yeah yeah yeah
All His Children Composer(s): Alan Bergman - Marilyn Bergman - Henry Mancini Performer(s): Henry Mancini and multiple other artists
When you're standing alone with the mountains and the sea Where the arms of the world are open wide Where the truth is as plain as the falling rain And as sure as the time and the tide
You know we're all his children, his next of kin That's the way it's began No matter where you're going or where you've been You're part of the family of man
When you walk down the road and the sun is on your side With the sweet river breeze on your face Though you don't hear a sound as you look around Everything sort of falls into place
You know we're all his children, his next of kin That's the way it's began No matter where you're going or where you've been You're part of the family of man
Who Can I Turn To (When Nobody Needs Me) Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse; Anthony Newley Performer(s): Tony Bennett; and various other artists
Who can I turn to when nobody needs me? My heart wants to know and so I must go where destiny leads me With no star to guide me and no one beside me I'll go on my way and, after the day, the darkness will hide me
And maybe tomorrow I'll find what I'm after I'll throw off my sorrow, beg, steal, or borrow my share of laughter With you I could learn to, with you what a new day But who can I turn to if you turn away?
With you I could learn to, with you what a new day But who can I turn to if you turn away?
All Good Things Composer(s): John Woloschuk Performer(s): Klaatu
I never had a closer friend than you I never had such good times as the ones we used to have together You're the one I told my problems to Throughout the years remained true blue No I never had a closer friend than you
But all good things must end No use trying to pretend it isn't so When it's time you gotta go But I never had a better friend than you
I know it sounds a trifle odd To those who've never had a dog But I never had a closer friend than you
But all good things must end No use crying for the dead and that's a fact All my tears won't bring you back But I never had a better friend than you No I'll never have a better friend than you
Now its funny where some women live who sing upon the stage They live in places where theyve never been Theyll rave about the roses that are growing round the door Of that, the dear old home theyve never seen Theyve lived in Arizona, theyve lived in Alabam Last year they all lived down in Texas way It must be quite a job to move the dear old home about But just the same this year youll hear them say
Theyre all going back, theyre all going back Theyre all going back to Tennessee and Dixie Theyve all got mothers there and fathers by the score Theyve moved the poor old folk about until their feet are sore All of them say when they get back theyll stay What an overcrowded country it will be But just one thing worries me When they all go back to Tennessee Therell be no one left in Wigan but me
Who By Fire Composer(s): Leonard Cohen Performer(s): Leonard Cohen; and various other artists
And who by fire, who by water who in the sunshine, who in the night time who by high ordeal, who by common trial who in your merry merry month of May who by very slow decay
and who shall I say is calling? And who in her lonely slip, who by barbiturate who in these realms of love, who by something blunt and who by avalanche, who by powder who for his greed, who for his hunger and who shall I say is calling?
And who by brave assent, who by accident who in solitude, who in this mirror who by his lady's command, who by his own hand who in mortal chains, who in power and who shall I say is calling?
All God's Chillun Got Rhythm Composer(s): Walter Jermann - Gus Kahn - Bronislaw Kaper Performer(s): Judy Garland and multiple other artists
I got a frown, you got a frown All God's chillun got a frown on their face Take no chance with that frown A song and a dance, turn it upside down
Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, zazoo, zazoo All God's chillun got rhythm, all God's chillun got swing Maybe haven't got money, maybe haven't got shoes All God's chillun got rhythm for to push away their blues
All God's chillun got trouble, troubles do-on't mean a thing When they start to go ho-ho-ho The old troubles bound to go 'way, say All God's chillun got swing

All God's children got trouble, troubles do-on't mean a thing When they start to go ho-ho-ho The old troubles bound to go 'way, say All God's chillun got swing

Who Broke The Lock (On The Henhouse Door)? (Traditional) Performer(s): Unique Quartette; and various other artists
Well, a hen and a rooster from way out West Said the hen to the rooster, "I love you the best" The rooster said, "You're a pop-eyed liar, I seen you flirting with the big Shanghai"
Who broke the lock? I don't know Who broke the lock on the henhouse door Well, I'll find out before I go Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
Down in the henhouse on my knees I thought I heard a chicken sneeze It was only rooster saying his prayers And thanking the Lord for the hens upstairs
Who broke the lock? I don't know Who broke the lock on the henhouse door Well, I'll find out before I go Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
Now, my old hen's a good old hen But she ain't laid a egg since I don't know when Old hen cackle, cackling a lot Next time she cackle, gonna cackle in the pot
Who broke the lock? I don't know Who broke the lock on the henhouse door Well, I'll find out before I go Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
Now, there was an old rooster 'bout forty years old He'd done lots of things that'd never been told His toes curled up, he could not scratch But the young hens say his eggs still hatch
Who broke the lock? I don't know Who broke the lock on the henhouse door Well, I'll find out before I go Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
Now, the old rooster he said to the hen "You know I love you, so let me in" The hen said, "No! Just go away" I'm sitting with my egg that I did lay
Who broke the lock? I don't know Who broke the lock on the henhouse door Well, I'll find out before I go Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
Said the big red rooster to the little red hen "You ain't laid an egg in the Lord knows when" Said the little red hen to the big red rooster "You ain't been around quite as often as you used to"
Who broke the lock? I don't know Who broke the lock on the henhouse door Well, I'll find out before I go Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
Then the old fox said to the hen "Open up the door or I'll break it in" The hen said, "No!" and began to squawk Ordered the rooster to secure the lock
Who broke the lock? I don't know Who broke the lock on the henhouse door Well, I'll find out before I go Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
Down by the farmer's barnyard gate Blowed my horn, both soon and late Farmer's dog couldn't bark nor bite But the son of a gun, he could read and write
Who broke the lock? I don't know Who broke the lock on the henhouse door Well, I'll find out before I go Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
Now, Deacon Johnson and Missus Jones Used to fool around when Jones weren't home Come home one morning 'bout a quarter to four Who went out that back door
Who broke the lock? I don't know Who broke the lock on the henhouse door Well, I'll find out before I go Who broke the lock on the henhouse door
Taxi Cab Driver Composer(s): Dave Dudley - Bud Auge - Red Johnson Performer(s): Dave Dudley
Well the flags pushed down and the meter is a tickin' away
I got another fare and I made a lot of trips today
There's another learner driver to hack
Gotta get 'em there and bring 'em back
I'm a taxi cab driver and I make my living this way
Well the depot next and there's not much time to spare
I'm in a real traffic jam and my passengers a pullin' his hair
If I get him to the station on time I bet he's gonna tip a dime
Six days at the wheel with a speed zone on my mind
One eye on the road and another in the rear view mirror
Not much goes on that I don't see or hear
Well how about the sites I've seen
All that red lights are turning green
I'm a taxi cab driver if you get just what I mean
I know every hotel motel and cafe
Every after hours spot a little bit out of the way
Where the party's go on till dawn
Well I'll take you then I'm gone
I'm a taxi cab driver and I got to be a rolling on
Well it's early in the morning and everything is closin' down
Still got a live one wants to do the town
After I get rid of this stray I'm really gonna hit the hay
I'm a taxi cab driver and I make my living this way
I'm a tired cab driver and I make my living this way
I'm a taxi cab driver and I make my living this way
