I made it through the wilderness
Somehow I made it through
Didn't know how lost I was
Until I found you

I was beat incomplete
I'd been had, I was sad and blue
But you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
Shiny and new

Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When your heart beats 
Next to mine

Gonna give you all my love, boy
My fear is fading fast
Been saving it all for you
'Cause only love can last

You're so fine and you're mine
Make me strong, yeah you make me bold
Oh your love thawed out
Yeah, your love thawed out
What was scared and cold

Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When your heart beats 
Next to mine

Oooh, oooh, oooh

You're so fine and you're mine
I'll be yours 'till the end of time
'Cause you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
I've nothing to hide

Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When your heart beats
Next to mine

Like a virgin, ooh, ooh
Like a virgin
Feels so good inside
When you hold me, and your heart beats, and you love me

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh, baby
Can't you hear my heart beat
For the very first time?

Buzzin' Fly
Composer(s): Tim Buckley
Originally performed by: Tim Buckley
Covered by: Dredd Foole; Keith Sykes; Kathryn Williams



Just like a buzzin' fly
I come into your life
Now I float away
Like honey in the sun
Was it right or wrong
I couldn't sing that song anyway 

Oh, but darlin'
Now I remember
How the sun shown down
And how it warmed your prayin' smile
When all the love was there 

You're the one I talk about
You're the one I think about
Everywhere I go
And sometimes honey
In the mornin'
Lord, I miss you so 

That's how I know I found a home
That's how I know I found a home 

Oh, hear the mountains singing
Lord, I can hear them ringing, darlin'
Out your name
And tell me if you know
Just how the river flows
Down to the sea 

Now I wanna know
Everything about you
I wanna know
Everything about you 

What makes ya smile
What makes ya wild
What makes ya love me this way
Darlin' I wanna know
Darlin' I wanna know 

You're the one I talk about
You're the one I think about
Everywhere I go
And sometimes honey
In the mornin'
Lord, I miss you so 

That's how I know I found a home
That's how I know I found a home 

A-walkin' hand in hand
And all along the sand
A seabird knew your name
He knew your love was growin'
Lord, I think it knows it's flowin'
Thru you and me

Ah, tell me darlin'
When I should leave you,
Ah, tell me darlin'
I don't want to grieve you.... 

Just like a buzzin' fly
I come into your life
Now I float away
Like honey in the sun
Was it right or wrong
I couldn't sing that song anyway 

Oh, but darlin'
Now I remember
How the sun shown down
And how it warmed your prayin' smile
When all the love was there 

You're the one I talk about
You're the one I think about
Everywhere I go
And sometimes honey
In the mornin'
Lord, I miss you so....

Like A Sunday Morning
Composer(s): Joel Diamond - Allan Kenneth
Performer(s): Maureen McGovern



You're just like a Sunday morning
Quiet and warm and moving slow
Put your hand in my hand
Let me dream while I can
Oh, how I love you so

Life is made of milk and honey
I always thought that line was a lie
But it turns out it's true
'Cause the sweetness of you is so real
That it makes me want to cry

Oh, you're a holiday weekend
The key that unlocks the door
You're my friend and my lover
The dream I've been looking for
And you're much more, you're so much more

You're just like a Sunday morning
Feeling so comfortable and right
Be the wind, be the sea
Be whatever you please, but
Just be here on Sunday night

Well buzz, buzz, buzz goes the bumble bee
Tweedley, deedley dee goes the bird
But the sound of your little voice darling
Is the sweetest sound I've ever heard

I've seen the beauty of the red, red rose
Seen the beauty when the skies are blue
Seen the beauty of the evening sunset
But the beauty of you-ooo

Sweet is the honey from the honey comb
Sweet are the grapes from the vine
But there's nothing as sweet as you darling
And I hope someday you'll be mine

Well buzz, buzz, buzz goes the bumble bee
Tweedley, deedley dee goes the bird
But the sound of your little voice darling
Is the sweetest sound I've ever heard

I've seen the beauty of the red, red rose
Seen the beauty when the skies are blue
Seen the beauty of the evening sunset
But the beauty of you-ooo

Sweet is the honey from the honey comb
Sweet are the grapes from the vine
But there's nothing as sweet as you darling
And I hope that some day you'll be mine
Hope someday you'll be mine

Hope someday you'll be mine
Hope someday you'll be mine
Hope someday you'll be mine

Like A Sad Song
Composer(s): John Denver
Performer(s): John Denver
and multiple other artists



Usually in the morning I'm filled with sweet belonging
And everything is beautiful to see
Even when it's raining, the sound of heaven singing
Is simply joyful music to me

Sometimes I feel like a sad song
Like I'm all alone without you

So many different places, a million smiling faces
Life is so incredible to me 
Especially to be near you and how it is to touch you
Oh paradise was made for you and me

I know that life goes on just perfectly
And everything is just the way that it should be
Still there are times when my heart feels like breaking
And anywhere is where I'd rather be

Oh and in the night time I know that it's the right time
To hold you close and say I love you so
To have someone to share with 
And someone I can care with
And that is why I wanted you to know

Sometimes I feel like a sad song
Like I'm all alone without you, without you

Buy Me A Rose
Composer(s): Jim Funk; Erik Hickenlooper
Performer(s): Kenny Rogers
and various other artists



He works hard to give her all he thinks she wants
A three car garage, her own credit cards
He pulls in late to wake her up with a kiss good night
If he could only read her mind, she'd say

Buy me a rose, call me from work
Open a door for me, what would it hurt
Show me you love me by the look in your eyes
These are the little things I need the most in my life

Now the days have grown to years of feeling all alone
And she can't help but wonder what she's doing wrong
'Cause lately she'd try anything to turn his head
Would it make a difference if she said

Buy me a rose, call me from work
Open a door for me, what would it hurt
Show me you love me by the look in your eyes
These are the little things I need the most in my life

And the more that he lives the less that he tries
To show her the love that he hold inside
And the more that she gives the more that he sees
This is a story of you and me

So I bought you a rose on the way home from work
Opened the door to a heart that I hurt
And I hope you notice this look in my eyes
Cause I'm gonna make things right
I'm gonna hold you tonight
Do all those little things
For the rest of your life

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all kiddin' you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
And now you find out you're gonna have to get used to it
You said you'd never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And ask him do you want to make a deal?

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
When they all come down and did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discover that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things
But you'd better lift your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone? 

Buttons And Bows
Composer(s): Jay Livingston; Ray Evans
Performer(s): Bob Hope
and various other artists



East is east and west is west
And the wrong one I have chose
Let's go where they keep on wearin'
Those frills and flowers and buttons and bows
Rings and things and buttons and bows.

Don't bury me in this prairie
Take me where the cement grows
Let's move down to some big town
Where they love a gal by the cut o' her clothes
And you'll stand out, in buttons and bows

I'll love you in buckskin
Or skirts that you've homespun
But I'll love ya' longer, stronger 
Where yer friends don't tote a gun

My bones denounce the buckboard bounce
And the cactus hurts my toes
Let's vamoose where gals keep a-usin'
Those silks and satins and linen that shows
And I'm all yours in buttons and bows

Gimme eastern trimmin' where women are women
In high silk hose and peek-a-boo clothes
And French perfume that rocks the room
And I'm all yours in buttons and bows.

Buttons and bows, buttons and bows.....

Like A Rock

Composer(s): Bob Seger
First release by: Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band - 1986
Covered by multiple other artists



Stood there boldly 
Sweatin' in the sun 
Felt like a million 
Felt like number one 
The height of summer 
I'd never felt that strong 
Like a rock

I was eighteen 
Didn't have a care 
Working for peanuts 
Not a dime to spare 
But I was lean and 
Solid everywhere 
Like a rock 

My hands were steady 
My eyes were clear and bright 
My walk had purpose 
My steps were quick and light 
And I held firmly 
To what I felt was right 
Like a rock

Like a rock, I was strong as I could be 
Like a rock, nothin' ever got to me 
Like a rock, I was something to see 
Like a rock 

And I stood arrow straight 
Unencumbered by the weight 
Of all these hustlers and their schemes 
I stood proud, I stood tall 
High above it all 
I still believed in my dreams 

Twenty years now 
Where'd they go? 
twenty years 
I don't know 
sit and I wonder sometimes 
Where they've gone

And sometimes late at night 
When I'm bathed in the firelight 
The moon comes callin' a ghostly white 
And I recall 
recall 

Like a rock. standin' arrow straight 
Like a rock, chargin' from the gate 
Like a rock, carryin' the weight 
Like a rock

Lihe a rock, the sun upon my skin 
Like a rock, hard against the wind 
Like a rock, I see myself again 
Like a rock

Listen, big boy
Now that you got me made
Goodness, but I'm afraid 
Somethin's gonna happen to you! 
Listen, big boy

Get to bed by three
Oh, take good care of yourself

When you sass a traffic cop
Use diplomacy

Stocks and bonds, ooh-ooh
Dockside thugs, ooh-ooh
You'll get a pain and ruin your bankroll! 

Keep the spoon out of your cup
When you're drinking tea
Oh, take good care of yourself
You belong to me! 

Don't sit on hornet's tails, ooh-ooh!
Or on nails, ooh-ooh! 
Or third rails, ooh-ooh! 
You'll get a pain and ruin your tum-tum! 

Keep away from bootleg hooch
When you're on a spree
Oh, take good care of yourself
You belong to me!

Butterscotch candy and strawberry pie
Gonna love my baby till the day that I die
'Cause of butterscotch candy and strawberry pie
Well I met my baby in a goodies shop
Sellin' butterscotch candy and soda pop and strawberry pie

But in the back of my mind were those strawberry pies
So I said, pretty baby won't you please be mine

In a butterscotch church on a strawberry bed
In the middle of May on the sunniest day of all

And butterscotch candy till the day that I die
My baby and I gonna have ourselves a ball

Like A Prayer

Covered by multiple other artists



Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home

When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there

I hear your voice, it's like an angel sighing
I have no choice, I hear your voice
Feels like flying
I close my eyes, Oh God I think I'm falling
Out of the sky, I close my eyes
Heaven help me

When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there

Like a child you whisper softly to me
You're in control just like a child
Now I'm dancing
It's like a dream, no end and no beginning
You're here with me, it's like a dream
Let the choir sing

When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there

Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery
Just like a dream, you are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there

Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me

Shule, shule, shule-a-roo

Like a lover the morning sun
Slowly rises and kisses you awake
Your smile is soft and drowsy
As you let it play upon your face

Oh, how I dream I might be like the morning sun to you
(I might be like the morning sun to you)
Like a lover the river wind, sighs and ripples
Its fingers through your hair
Upon your cheek it lingers 
And I've never known a sweeter place
Oh, how I dream I might be like the river wind to you
(I might be like the river wind to you)

How I envy a cup that knows your lips
Let it be me, my love
And a table that feels your fingertips
Let it be me, let me be your love
Bring an end to the endless days and nights
Without you

Like a lover the velvet moon 
Shares your pillow and watches while you sleep
It's light arrives on tiptoe
Gently taking you in its embrace
Oh, how I dream I might be like a velvet moon to you

Buttermilk Boy
Composer(s): Steve Marriott
Performer(s): Humble Pie



Yeah, she pays no mind to methods you employ
She wants a big city man, not a country boy

Go get your long hair cut
Scrape the mud off your boots
Eh, wash the hell behind those ears
Buy yourself some tailored suits

Oh, Buttermilk Boy better gain some pounds
Before she lets her knickers down
She wants a musclely man all gristle and bone
Makes no difference how you strive
She couldn't care if you were dead or alive
A burly, beefy, strong arm man
Is all she cares to meet

Before you ever heard the word guitar
Yes, your mother used to see her as a star
Yes, she spent her teens?
In chauffered limosines
And I heard tell you can't get insured
For a clapped out '45 drop head Ford

Oh, Buttermilk Boy better gain some pounds
Before she lets her knick, knick, knick, knickers down
She wants a musclely man all gristle and bone
She'll tear you down like a steer comin' through
Like I said she ain't no use to you
A lumpy hairy mundane brain
Is all she cares to make

So let me put you straight, yeah
Marry farm-yard Kate
Yep, she weighs two hundred pounds its said
Oh, she'll keep you warm in bed

Oh, Buttermilk Boy, you better gain some pounds
Before she lets her knick, I say, knickers down
Well, a musclely man all gristle and bone
So you like to think you know where its about
But she'll suck you in and then she'll blow you out
Yeah, Kate will keep you satisfied
Until your dying day

Yeah, let me hear some of that strong-arm music

Once I thought I saw you in a crowded, hazy bar
dancing on the light from star to star
Far across the moon beams
I know that's who you are
I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire

You are like a hurricane: there's calm in your eye
And I'm getting blown away
There's somewhere safer where the feelings stay
I wanna love you but I'm getting blown away

I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream
and you could have been anyone to me
Before that moment you touched my lips
that perfect feeling when time just slips away
between us and our foggy trips

You are like a hurricane: there's calm in your eye
And I'm getting blown away
There's somewhere safer where the feelings stay
I wanna love you but I'm getting blown away

You are just a dreamer, and I am just a dream
and you could have been anyone to me
Before that moment you touched my lips
that perfect feeling when time just slips away
between us and our foggy trips

You are like a hurricane: there's calm in your eye
And I'm getting blown away
There's somewhere safer where the feelings stay
I wanna love you but I'm getting blown away

Baby, the girls want to know about you
they want to know what you do to make me so crazy
'Cause lately, they see how I've turned around
my feet never touch the ground since you've been near me
They're asking "Is the boy really that hot?"
I tell them yes you are
"Can you tell us what the boy's got?"
Well, that's kind of hard
You see, it's not that easy
I know they wouldn't believe me....

'Cause you love me like a hurricane
you move me like a drivin' rain
strike like lightnin' out of the blue
You rock me like an earthquake
you roll me like a tidal wave
nothin's ever been the same after lovin' you
After lovin' you.......

But baby, they didn't believe a word
they said that they've never heard of a boy like that
That maybe I was stretchin' out the truth
tryin' to take them for a fool with a story like that
They kept asking "Is the boy really that hot?"
I tell them yes you are
"Can you tell us what the boy's got?"
Well, that's kind of hard
You see, it's not that easy
I know they wouldn't believe me....

'Cause you love me like a hurricane
you move me like a drivin' rain
strike like lightnin' out of the blue
You rock me like an earthquake
you roll me like a tidal wave
nothin's ever been the same after lovin' you
After lovin' you.......

'Cause you love me like a hurricane
you move me like a drivin' rain
strike like lightnin' out of the blue
You rock me like an earthquake
you roll me like a tidal wave
nothin's ever been the same after lovin' you

'Cause you love me like a hurricane
you move me like a drivin' rain
strike like lightnin' out of the blue
You rock me like an earthquake
you roll me like a tidal wave
nothin's ever been the same after lovin' you
'Cause you love me like a hurricane ...
