If It Feels Good Do It Composer(s): Jerry Chesnut Performer(s): Dave Dudley
Some folks call me a laughin' boy Some say I'm a clown But till you've tried my way of life Don't ever put it down And if it feels good do it If it hurts just let it lie Now there's no mistery to it Just a better way to look at life
Some folks worry bout growin' old but that don't bother me Old age is one thing I hope that I live long enough to see Forget your disappointments Pretend they wasn't there But when they pass out happiness Be sure you get your share And if it feels good...
One day when I'm old and gray Lookin' back at what I've done I can face the world and say that livin' sure was fun And if it feels good... And if it feels good...
D'autres Filles Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo
J'ai tapissé ma chambre de ton plus beau regard J'ai pas peur de décembre car j'ai dans mon placard Un vrai soleil qui brille en souvenirs des beaux jours J'ai connu d'autres filles mais pas un autre amour
Parfois l'idée me hante que tu me mènes en bateau Mais qu'il pleuve ou qu'il vente je te cherche au fil de l'eau Je traîne ma mélancolie comme un marin de port en port J'ai connu d'autres filles mais je t'attends encore
Oh t'es partie sans laisser d'adresse oh t'as même pas signé ta photo Mais y a encore toute ta tendresse qui plane autour de mon piano De toutes mes harmonies tu es la dominante J'ai connu d'autres filles mais c'est toi que je chante
Je suis trop seul le soir j'digère plus mon pain noir Ni le quignon de chagrin qu'je garde pour le matin Mais j'attends trop d'la vie pour lui tenir rancur J'ai connu d'autres filles mais j'attends le bonheur
J'attends que ta valise soit trop lourde à porter J'attends qu'tu réalises que j'suis là pour t'aider Même si tu changes de lit chaque fois que tu changes de banque J'ai connu d'autres filles mais c'est toi qui me manques C'est toi qui me manques
Original Traveling Man Composer(s): Tom T. Hall - Dave Dudley Performer(s): Dave Dudley
I knew the state of ol' Wisconsin back when I was eight I sang all over Minneapolis lookin' for a break I rode the rapid rivers with the Chiquoia Indian tribe I traveled on my thumb though it injured my pride I'm the world's worst world's first go-while-you-can original traveling man The world's best forget the rest one-night-stand original traveling man
I've traveled down to Nashville just a looking for a song I've traveled down to Mexico just a looking for a home I guess I've got a self-winding watch for a mind I start runnin' down if I ain't movin' all the time I'm the world's worst world's first...
I've traveled in a PT boat and fought for Uncle Sam I've been as close to death as any living man I've traveled in a limousine and I've traveled in a truck I've traveled by myself ma'm but thank you very much I'm the world's worst world's first... Hey I'm the world's worst world's first...
Daughters Of Time Composer(s): Judy Collins Performer(s): Judy Collins
From the beginning of time Like a heartbeat that never can die Like the wind on the sea like the sun on the sand Like a baby's cry We've had a dream in our hearts That gives us the courage to try We must have a song that says we can be strong
We must reach for the sky
We are the daughters of time And the sisters of a new day Born in the labor of love And the promise of tomorrow We are the children of light and we are here today We are here to stay The suns and the daughters of time
We are no longer alone we are no longer afraid
We can reach out with our hands and our hearts
That's how dreams are made Over the water so wide Like a bird that sails on through the sky We know the way to be the best we can be And look life in the eye
We are the daughters of time And the sisters of a new day Born in the labor of love And the promise of tomorrow We are the children of light and we are here today We are here to stay The suns and the daughters of time
Just like the lady in the harbor shining bright Giving her hope in the darkest of the night Just like the lady in the harbor standing tall Now we know we are together one and all
We're on our way to the stars Nothing can turn us away We will survive and our dream is alive of a better day There is a way to find peace Turning away from the past With love for our brothers and sisters on earth We'll have a new world at last
We are the daughters of time And the sisters of a new day Born in the labor of love And the promise of tomorrow We are the children of light and we are here today We are here to stay The suns and the daughters of time
You've Got To Cry Girl Composer(s): Dave Dudley - Richard Barish Performer(s): Dave Dudley
Oh you've got to cry girl Then you'll know how I miss you Well I've grown up girl I've learned how to be a man I've cried tears, felt the pain Have memories when you hurt me But now look at me I still know I can stand Say are you listening girl Do you hear what I'm saying And do you know girl the reason that I walked out Well you're young right now but tomorrow the world may find you So learn from life and find what love's about
Oh you've got to cry girl before you can be a woman And you've gotta hurt girl before you'll understand You need tears and time and sad memories to complete you So I wish you all the heartaches you can stand
Daughter Of The Night Composer(s): Hasse Huss; Mikael Rickfors Performer(s): Santana; Jim Capaldi; Richie Havens; Mikael Rickfors
One way in and one way out You don't know what it's all about You look to the left You look to the right The brightest day and the darkest night
Chorus: And if you see me stealin' away You better believe that I'd much rather stay Daughter of the night Everything right Is getting to you baby Sister of the sun Born on the run Just let me move you baby On the road well I been told The people need a highway code The harder the chase The sweeter the catch I ain't the driver but you met your match
Chorus
You can win and you can lose Listen mama you got to choose You can give up tryin' Or break downi cryin' Or keep on goin' Change your mind
We'd Better Stop Composer(s): Don Goodman - Troy Seals - Will Jennings Performer(s): Connie Cato
We'd better stop, don't go no further 'Cause you know this lovin' feelin's made us blind We'd better stop, we'll hurt each other 'Cause darlin', I'm not yours and you're not mine
We can't go on lovin' wrong And never find the way to make things right It's a shame, but it can't be changed So we'll take the chance we won't be seen tonight
Just one last time and then it's over But I know I'll never get you off my mind We'd better stop, we'll hurt each other 'Cause darlin', I'm not yours and you're not mine
We can't go on lovin' wrong And never find the way to make things right It's a shame, but it can't be changed So we'll take the chance we won't be seen tonight
We'd better stop, we'll hurt each other 'Cause darlin', I'm not yours and you're not mine 'Cause darlin', I'm not yours and no, you're not mine We'd better stop
Daughter Of Mine Composer(s): Eric Robertson; Madeline Thomson Performer(s): John McDermott; Andy Cooney; Gary Gamble
These are the thoughts of a father On the wedding day of his daughter As his mind wanders back to the first time he held her He looks at her now, the same pride in his eyes As onto the dance floor they glide This is the dance of the bride and her father
Dance with me daughter of mine On this your wedding day Dance with me daughter of mine You'll soon be going away I loved you since you first began Now you've found a new man But I love you so, and this you must know That my love won't falter So dance with me daughter Beautiful daughter of mine
We walk down the aisle, on my face there's a smile But deep in my heart there's a tear Our friends and relations are here in the church With smiles on their faces they stare As we walk t'ward the man who has stolen your heart And to whom I must give you away But I wish you love and happiness too On this your wedding day
Dance with me daughter of mine On this your wedding day Dance with me daughter of mine You'll soon be going away I loved you since you first began Now you've found a new man But I love you so, and this you must know That my love won't falter So dance with me daughter Beautiful daughter of mine
The dance has begun, we twirl around the floor But I know you're not my little girl anymore A lovely young woman has taken her place And there's happiness written all over her face But always remember although we must part You may leave my arms but never my heart
Dance with me daughter of mine On this your wedding day Dance with me daughter of mine You'll soon be going away I loved you since you first began Now you've found a new man But I love you so, and this you must know That my love won't falter So dance with me daughter Beautiful daughter of mine
Angelica Composer(s): Ralph Benatar - Jimmy Frey - Chris Lorans Performer(s): Jimmy Frey
Angelica, I love you Angelica, je t'aime Meisje kom terug waar jij behoort
Het wordt reeds laat en je droomprins liet zich niet zien Hij schonk je geen paleis en jij werd geen koningin Toe verlaat je sprookjeswereld en je feestkledij Want jou plaats Angelica is bij mij
Angelica, I love you Angelica, ich liebe dich Meisje kom terug waar jij behoort Angelica, I love you Angelica, ti amo Meisje kom terug waar jij behoort
'k Ben niet rijk maar men liefde is diep als de zee Men huisje is maar klein maar groot genoeg voor ons twee En in men armen zal het 's avonds warmer zijn Dan tussen kanten lakens van satijn
Angelica, I love you Angelica, je t'aime Meisje kom terug waar jij behoort Angelica, I love you Angelica, ik hou van jou Meisje kom terug waar jij behoort
Woman, I can remember a woman Warm were her kisses and tender was she Lying there in my arms Why, why did you deceive me so What devil inside made you go When I needed you most of all
Daughter of darkness Stay out of my life, my life You took my heart, you broke it apart Daughter of darkness Daughter of darkness Please leave me alone forever Daughter of darkness gone is the love That we shared together
Heaven, we had our own kind of heaven Sharing together, the magic of love In a world of our own Then oh so suddenly you were gone The love I depended upon disappeared when you went away
Daughter of darkness stay out of my life, my life You took my heart, you broke it apart Oh daughter of darkness Daughter of darkness leave me alone forever Daughter of darkness gone is the love That we shared together Daughter of darkness stay out of my life, my life You took my heart, you broke it apart Oh daughter of darkness
Daughter Composer(s): David Gates Originally performed by: Bread
Daughter - don't give your love to the first man you see Just bide your time so your heart will be free to find the one Girl you don't have to run
Daughter - don't think that love has gone out of style Just some folks every once in a while don't understand How this world was planned
Now I know you're wondering how You know when the real thing is comin' your way When you live for him and not you You'll know that it's truly comin' to stay
Daughter - I know it's hard to make yourself wait But when the right man comes it's never too late So don't you cry He'll be here by and by... and steal your heart away

Sous les oliviers noirs et argentés Et dans tous les puits de terre brûlée Traînent les soupirs des printemps passés M'en veux-tu dis-moi? M'en veux-tu d'aimer?
Dans l'herbe fanée le fils du maçon Caresse Angèle la fille du berger Amour éternel des quatre saisons La fleur et le fruit seront dévorés
Sous les oliviers noirs et argentés M'en veux-tu dis-moi? M'en veux-tu d'aimer? Leur amour sent l'eau et la fenaison Les vertes moissons, les champs labourés
Amour éternel des quatre saisons La fleur et le fruit seront dévorés Du passé rien ne peut nous séparer Le coeur n'a jamais fini de vendanger Le temps va s'en aller Le soleil s'accroupi Et le feu s'assoupi La, la, la .... Angèle, Angèle, Angèle, Ho
Date With The Rain Composer(s): Bobby Miller Performer(s): Eddie Kendricks; Dalton Gang; Billy Griffin; Wizzard
Rain, rain, rain Rain, rain, rain
Ive got a date with the rain Gotta go walking in the rain The clouds that gather in the sky Gather in my eyes every time it rains
On just such a day you let me go And as the raindrops began to flow I go walking in the rain Hiding my tears in the rain I grabbed my coat and my leather shoes Walked out the door with a bag full of blues No one notices it all when it rains I take off alone Walking in the rain
Every time it rains That I feel the music flowing strong I just go walking in the rain Hiding my tears in the rain Rain, rain, rain Rain, rain, rain Rain, rain, rain Rain, rain, rain
On just such a day you let me go And as the raindrops began to flow I go walking in the rain Hiding my tears in the rain. I go walking I go walking in the rain Rain, rain, rain I go walking Rain, rain, rain I go walking Rain, rain, rain
Angela Composer(s): David Paich Performer(s): Toto
Can't eat, can't sleap can't seem to find time anymore Somewhere she weeps, her hair gently brushes the floor I know my way, I know that I'll find her somehow
Angela carries me back to the time When I knew that her love was still mine Angela's holding the child in her womb And I pray that she will be calling soon
Cold moon, dark sky, I'm watching my mind disappear She sits alone not knowing that I'm so near Why can't she hear my voice as I call out her name
Angela carries me back to the time When I knew that her love was still mine Angela's holding the child in her womb And I pray that she will be calling soon
It's a silly situation It's just infatuation No need to be sorry!
Date Bait Baby Composer(s): John Neel; Oscar Nichols Performer(s): Reggie Perkins

She's my date bait baby for me! Doo-wah, pappa-doo-doo-wah.......

Das Modell English Title: The Model Composer(s): Ralf Hütter; Karl Bartos; Emil Schult Performer(s): Kraftwerk
Sie ist ein Modell und sie sieht gut aus Ich nehme sie heut' gerne mit zu mir nach Haus Sie wirkt so kühl, and sie kommt niemand 'ran Doch vor der Kamera da zeigt sie was sie kann
Sie trinkt im Nachtklub immer Sekt (korr-ekt!) Und hat hier alle Männer abgecheckt Im Scheinwerferlicht ihr junges Lächeln strahlt Sie sieht gut aus und Schönheit wird bezahlt
Sie stellt sich zu Schau für das Konsumprodukt Und wird von millionen Augen angeguckt Ihr neues Titelbild ist einfach Fabelhaft Ich muss sie wiedersehen, ich weiss sie hat's geschaft
