Always wanting you, but never having you Makes it hard to face tomorrow 'cause I Know I'll be wanting you again Always loving you, but never touching you Sometimes hurts me almost more than I can stand
I'd been better off if I'd turned away and never Looked at you the second time 'Cause I really had my life all together till your eyes meet mine
And there I say a yearning and a feeling 'cross The room that you felt for me Wish I'd had a way of knowing that the things we had in Mind could never be
Always wanting you, but never having you Makes it hard to face tomorrow 'cause I Know I'll be wanting you again Always loving you, but never touching you Sometimes hurts me almost more than I can stand
Woman Of Labrador Composer(s): Andy Vine Performer(s): Andy Vine; Lindsay Street
Woman of Labrador Children round your cabin door Wondering when their daddy will be home He's gone on trapping lines Seems like such a long long time Since he's waved his last farewell And left you alone
Woman of Labrador Turn your mind to daily chores Hunting and catching fish To feed your family At night when they're all in bed You go outside and raise your head Watch the northern lights go dancing High over the sea
Daughter of Labrador Those days are here no more You wonder if your baby will ever understand The hardships that you endured When everyone you knew was poor Sharing everything you had And living off the land
Woman of Labrador Children round your cabin door Wondering when their daddy will be home He's gone on the trapping lines Seems like such a long long time Since he's waved his last farewell And left you alone
I Washed My Face In The Morning Dew Composer(s): Tom T. Hall First release by: Tom T. Hall - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
The first strange town I was ever in The county was hangin' a man Nobody cared if he lived or died And I just didn't understand
So I washed my face in the morning dew Bathed my soul in the sun Washed my face in the morning dew And kept on movin' along
The second strange town that I was in They were laughin' at a poor crippled man Beggin' for nickels and dimes on the street And I just didn't understand
So I washed my face in the morning dew Bathed my soul in the sun Washed my face in the morning dew And kept on movin' along
The third strange town that I was in Was settled, peaceful and nice The rich got richer and the poor got poorer And to me it didn't seem right
So I washed my face in the morning dew Bathed my soul in the sun Washed my face in the morning dew And kept on movin' along
Someday times are bound to change It can't be very far And each injustice I have seen Will come before the bar
Then I'll wash my face in the morning dew Bathe my soul in the sun Wash my face in the morning dew And my journey will be done Then my journey will be done
Well I went to my good doctor not so long ago A-walkin in a circle and moanin low He looked at me and said, good lord above, son You need a vaccination of a-woman love
Well Im lookin for a woman with a one track mind A huggin and a kissin and a smoochin all the time Id build her a castle to the moon up above I sure am a needin me some woman love (lets rock)
Well Im lookin for a lovin gal that needs a lot of care Not worried about her figure or the color of her hair The doctor really scared me when he said, good lord above You sure am a-needin you some woman love
Well Im tired of walkin circles, tired of moanin low I want my baby with me everywhere I go I want my lovin baby to call him turtle dove I sure am a-needin me some woman love (lets rock again)
Well Im tired of walkin circles, tired of moanin low I want my baby with me everywhere I go I want my lovin baby to call him turtle dove I sure am a-needin me some woman love

Woman Is The Nigger Of The World Composer(s): John Lennon; Yoko Ono Performer(s): John Lennon; Cássia Eller
Woman is the nigger of the world Yes she is... think about it Woman is the nigger of the world Think about it... do something about it
We make her paint her face and dance If she won't be a slave, we say that she don't love us If she's real, we say she's trying to be a man While putting her down we pretend that she's above us
Woman is the nigger of the world.. yes she is If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with Woman is the slave of the slaves Ah, yeh... better scream about it
We make her bear and raise our children And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother hen We tell her home is the only place she should be Then we complain that she's too unworldly to be our friend
Woman is the nigger of the world... yes she is If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with Woman is the slave to the slaves Yeh (think about it)
We insult her every day on TV And wonder why she has no guts or confidence When she's young, we kill her will to be free While telling her not to be so smart We put her down for being so dumb
Woman is the nigger of the world Yes she is... If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with Woman is the slave to the slaves Yes, she is... If you believe me, you better scream about it
We make her paint her face and dance We make her paint her face and dance We make her paint her face and dance
Boy Like You (aka Girl Like You) Composer(s): Tompall Glaser Performer(s): Loretta Lynn
There's a jukebox in my ear playin' so loud I can hardly hear It's tellin' a story about a boy like you And each selection that I make tells me how my heart will break For fallin' in love with a boy like you
Though it's just an ol' machine without a heart but oh so mean It says I'll prob'ly spend my whole life feelin' blue So I'll put in one more dime and play that same song one more time 'Cause I wanna hear about a boy like you
Though it's just an ol' machine without a heart but oh so mean It says I'll prob'ly spend my whole life feelin' blue I know that I should go on home but I can't stand to be alone 'Cause I always dream about a boy like you Yes I always dream about a boy like you

Life is a moment in space When the dream is gone It's a lonelier place I kiss the morning goodbye But down inside you know We never know why The road is narrow and long When eyes meet eyes And the feeling is strong I turn away from the wall I stumble and fall But I give you it all...
I am a woman in love And I do anything To get you into my world And hold you within It's a right I defend Over and over again What do I do?
With you eternally mine In love there is No measure of time We planned it all at the start That you and I Would live in each other's hearts We may be oceans away You feel my love I hear what you say No truth is ever a lie I stumble and fall But I give you it all
I am a woman in love And I do anything To get you into my world And hold you within It's a right I defend Over and over again What do I do?
I am a woman in love And I'm talking to you Do you know how it feels? What a woman can do It's a right That I defend over and over again......
I Hope I Never Love That Much Again Composer(s): Roy Baham) Performer(s): Dave Dudley
I know just how great love can be, I loved so much one time I know how it hurts to see it end I've had my share and if I live to be a hundred years I hope I never love that much again
The bigger the love, the harder the fall And it takes a long time for a heart to mend If there should ever come a time when I could love at all I hope I never love that much again
I loved her more than life itself, she was ev'rything to me For I believed in life and love back then If I can just forget she's gone, if her mem'ry sets me free I hope I never love that much again
The bigger the love, the harder the fall And it takes a long time for a heart to mend If there should ever come a time when I could love at all I hope I never love that much again I hope I never love that much again
Woman In Chains Composer(s): Roland Orzabal Original Performers: Tears for Fears Covered by various other artists
You better love loving and you better behave You better love loving and you better behave Woman in Chains Woman in Chains
Calls her man the Great White Hope Says she's fine, she'll always cope Woman in Chains Woman in Chains
Well I feel lying and waiting is a poor man's deal And I feel hopelessly weighed down by your eyes of steel It's a world gone crazy Keeps Woman in Chains
Trades her soul as skin and bone Sells the only thing she owns Woman in Chains Woman in Chains
Men of Stone Men of Stone
Well I feel deep in your heart there are wounds Time can't heal And I feel somebody somewhere is trying to breathe Well you know what I mean It's a world gone crazy Keeps Woman in Chains
It's under my skin but out of my hands I'll tear it a part but I won't understand I will not accept the Greatness of Man
Always Unknowing Composer(s): Bryan Ferry Performer(s): Roxy Music
Following the morning star But there´s no sense In always running Take what you want to know Just give me time Always unknowing World passing by That´s how it looks Always unknowing Don´t you leave my side There is no sense In always running Just one more time Is all I need Always unknowing Hold back tonight With your sight Always unknowing
Woman In Black Composer(s): Mick Jones Performer(s): Foreigner
I knew the moment I walked through that door I felt so close to a burning sensation It got so warm As I moved across the floor My body aching with anticipation
I saw a dark silhouette, at the table I tried to talk, but I was unable She drew me in right under her spell I was hypnotized by the sudden temptation
Of that woman in black, she's a mystery She's everything a woman should be Woman in black, she's got a hold on me She's in control, she won't set me free
She is a woman She's not a girl anymore The kind that stirs up a young man's imagination She's dressed to kill And I'm so ready to fall Into her world full of strange fascination
I see that dark silhouette, at the table I can't resist, my body's not able She draws me in, but she teaches me well I never need any explanation
From that woman in black, she's a mystery She's everything a woman should be I said, woman in black, got a hold on me She's in control, she won't set me free
Ooh, woman in black It's too late now I can't turn back 'Cause I'm a fool for that woman Woman in black Ooh, ooh, woman in black
Ooh, that woman in black, she's a mystery She's everything a woman should be That woman in black, she's got a hold on me She's in control, she won't set me free
She's my mysterious mistress But she leaves me so helpless My woman in black She's a dark senorita My woman in black No Sunday school teacher My woman in black We're keeping it a secret We meet in the night We're partners in silence Strangers in daylight

Woman Down In Memphis Composer(s): Carson J. Robison; Frank Luther Performer(s): The Red Clay Ramblers
Woman down in Memphis Bought myself a forty-four Listen to my warning Stay away from my front door Gone and thought the whole thing over Now I know you had me blind Oh! Woman down in Memphis Goin' to get you off my mind
Woman down in Memphis Told me that your love was true Said that we would soon get married Said you'd always do me right Oh! Woman, you was triflin' Soon as I was out of sight
I went to the doctor Asked him what was wrong with me Said I'd have to leave this country Get away from Memphis town Oh! He said I'd been grievin' 'Till my health was all broke down
Woman down in Memphis Listen to my lonesome song Woman down in Memphis Won't be singin' very long When they take me to the graveyard Lay me in the cold cold ground Oh! Woman down in Memphis Hope the Lord will strike you down
Always Have, Always Will Composer(s): Johnny Mears Performer(s): Janie Fricke
It seems funny I remember your number After all this time And I know that it's late And I hope that I'm not out o' line

love you like a fool Always have, always will But you know that it's just my point of view But I love you still Always have, always will Always have, always will love you
Well now, are you sleepin' any better Now that I'm gone And I wanna know who's holdin' you tight Or are you just holdin' on
You're awfully quiet, I guess you're tired So I'll hang up the phone But you know that this ol' heart Can't leave well enough alone
I love you like a fool Always have, always will But you know, yes you know that it's just my point of view But I, I love you still Always have, always will Always have, always will love you
Woman (Uh-Huh) Composer(s): Dick Gleason Performer(s): José Ferrer & Rosemary Clooney; Johnny Desmond
Ferrer: Oh woman, oh woman, oh what can she be Whatever she is, she's necessary
A woman is something both evil and good But too complicated to be understood An angel when lovin', a devil when mad A woman can make you both happy and sad
Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum) Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum) Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum) Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum) Oh woman, oh woman, oh what can she be Whatever she is, she's necessary
Afraid of a cricket, she'll scream at a mouse But she'll tackle a husband as big as a house She'll take him for better, she'll take him for worse She'll bust his head open and then be his nurse
Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum) Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum) Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum) Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum) Oh woman, oh woman, oh what can she be Whatever she is, she's necessary
She's bashful, deceitful, keen sighted and blind Simple and crafty, and cruel and kind In the morning she does, in the evening she don't You're always a thinkin' she will, but she won't
Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum) Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum) Uh-huh (Clooney: Um-hum) Uh-huh (Clooney: Ha-ha-ha) Oh woman, oh woman, oh what can she be Whatever she is, she's necessary
Clooney: Girls, turn this record over and listen to the Wife's side!
