Men Composer(s): Robert Byrne; Alan Schulman Performer(s): The Forester Sisters
They buy you dinner, open your door Other then that, what are they good for? Men! I'm talkin' 'bout men
They all want a girl just like the girl That married dear old dad, they make me so mad Men! I'm talkin' 'bout men
Well, you can't beat 'em up 'cause they're bigger then you You can't live with 'em and you just can't shoot 'em Men! I'm talkin' 'bout men
They love their toys, they make their noise They're nothing but a bunch of overgrown boys Men! I'm talking 'bout men
If you give 'em what they want, they never fall in love Don't give 'em nothin', they can't get enough Men! I'm talking 'bout men
Well, you can't beat 'em up 'cause they're bigger then you You can't live with 'em and you just can't shoot 'em Men! I'm talkin' 'bout men.
In the beginning they always aim to please They serve a purpose, they fill a need They ensure survival of the species
They take you for a ride, run out of gas Most of the time they're a pain in the a-a yeah, yeah Men! I'm talkin' 'bout men.
Well, you can't beat 'em up 'cause they're bigger then you You can't live with 'em and you just can't shoot 'em Men! I'm talkin' 'bout men
Silver tongue devils, well, they're lying through their teeth Saying anything just to sweep you off your feet Oh yeah, men! talkin' 'bout men Mere mortal men
Manhattan Serenade
Composer(s): Louis Alter - Harold Adamson
Performer(s): Helen Forrest
and multiple other artists
I have a memory of a lovely refrain And in my heart it will forever remain Our song was like a blue white gem My darling, do you remember?
That night in Manhattan was the start of it We lived it and we loved every part of it The glow of moonlight in the park The lights that spell your name The autumn breeze that fanned the spark That set our hearts aflame
Our kiss was a sky-ride to the highest star We made it without touching a handlebar And I gave you my love To the melody of the music, the madness That made our Manhattan serenade
Our kiss was a sky-ride to the highest star We made it without touching a handlebar And I gave you my love To the melody of the music, the madness That made our Manhattan serenade
One Kiss Composer(s): Bryan Ferry Performer(s): Bryan Ferry
Now is the moment Here is the place And soon's the time to go Seein's believin' Or so he thought once Now he's not so sure One kiss - one for the road - what is more? One kiss - roughly expressing all that lips are for
Where do they come from? Doesn't she speak? Where can they co from here? Forever or never Or once in a while Their situation's clear One kiss - never too late to miss One too many a broken-up affair - like this
Spinning together Drifting away The song of love is strange A never ending "See you soon" Too late - the music changed One kiss - what kind of end is this? One more touching impression - one lost love - one kiss
Just as he's trying To open the door He fumbles with the key Clumsily playing for time Without words Some things you can only feel One kiss - lost in shade One tear - ever so slowly falling left to fade
Men Composer(s): Isaac Hayes; Ronny Scaife Performer(s): Charly McClain; Isaac Hayes
Some men treat you just like a lady Others treat you just like a child And they can drive you so far away Or they can drive you wild Some you wanna show to your mama And some you wouldn't show to your dad Some wanna take you straight to the altar And some just wanna take you to bed
Women, I'm here to tell you about 'em Men, we couldn't make it without 'em I've loved a few & I've found that a few need a friend There's nothin' better than men to hold There's nothin' better than men
Some men are as cold as December Some are 'bout as hot as July Sometimes they fill your life with happiness Sometimes they make you cry
Women, I'm here to tell you about 'em Men, we couldn't make it without 'em I've loved a few & I've found that a few need a friend There's nothin' better than men to hold There's nothin' better than men
One In A Million You Composer(s): Sam Dees Performer(s): Larry Graham; and various other artists
Love had played its games on me so long I started to believe I'd never find anyone Doubt had tried to convince me to give in Said you can't win...
But one day the sun it came a'shinin' through The rain had stopped, and the skies were blue And oh, what a revelation, to see Someone was saying "I love you" to me
A one in a million, chance of a lifetime And life showed compassion And sent to me a stroke of love called you A one in a million you
I was a lonely man with empty arms to fill Then I found a piece of happiness to call my own And life is worth living, again For to love you, to me, is to live
A one in a million, chance of a lifetime And life, showed compassion And sent to me, a stroke of love, called you A one in a million you
A one in a million, chance of a lifetime And life, showed compassion And sent to me, a stroke of love called you... A one in a million you, a one in a million.....you
La musique que j'aime est née à Memphis Tennessee Sur un riverboat qui descendait du Mississippi C'est la source du blues, du rock et du country On apprend ça dans les écoles à Memphis Tennessee
Et les filles sont belles à te faire tomber à genoux Des noirs dans les églises jouent de la guitare comme des fous Le King Elvis habite un boulevard qui porte son nom Et merci Chuck Berry d'avoir écrit cette chanson
J'ai débarqué ici ma guitare me brûlait les mains Pour tout recommencer depuis le début du chemin Et remplir ma valise pour ramener ici Cette musique sans frontière de Memphis Tennessee
On ne se couche pas ici à Memphis Tennessee Et dans tous les clubs des guitares jouent toute la nuit Si tu aimes le rock, alors tu es d'ici Un peu de moi restera là à Memphis Tennessee
La musique que j'aime est née à Memphis Tennessee Sur un riverboat qui descendait du Mississippi C'est la source du blues, du rock et du country Un peu de moi restera là à Memphis Tennessee
Ouais, un peu de moi restera là à Memphis Tennessee
One In A Million Composer(s): Jeanette Miles; Tony Williams Performer(s): The Platters
There is one in a million like you A dream in a million come true I confess that I really don't know why But I know that I glow like I do Yes once in a million is par To find someone rare as you are
But now you're around I have really found That there's one in a million like you Fate was surely kind to help my heart find someone like you to be my love I give thinks each day That you came my way
Way out of heaven to try love Yes one in a lifetime you know Above heaven started below Tho it may be rare You and I will share The love that has happened to few For there's one in a million like you

One Hundred Ways Composer(s): Tony Coleman; Kathy Wakefield; Benjamin Wright Performer(s): Quincy Jones; and various other artists
Compliment what she does Send her roses just because If it's violins she loves Let them play Dedicate her favourite song And hold her closer all night long Love her today Find one hundred ways
Dont forget, there could be An old lover in her memory If you need her so much more Why don't you say? Maybe she has it in her mind That she's just wasting her time Ask her to stay Find one hundred ways
Being cool won't help you keep a love warm You'll just blow your only chance Take the time to open up your heart That's the secret of romance
Sacrifice if you care Buy her some moonlight to wear If it's one more star she wants Go all the way In your arms tonight, she'll reflect That she owes you the sweetest of debts If she wants to pay Find one hundred ways
Memphis In The Meantime Composer(s): John Hiatt Performer(s): John Hiatt and various other artists
I got some'n' to say little girl You might not like my style But we been hangin' around this town Just a little too long a while You say you're gonna get your act together Gonna take it out on the road But if I don't get out o' here pretty soon My head's going to explode Sure I like country music And I like mandolins But right now I need a Telecaster Through a Vibrolux turned up to 10
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime baby Ahw ... Memphis in the meantime girl Let's go to Memphis in the meantime baby Memphis in the meantime girl
I need a little shot of that rhythm baby Mixed up with these country blues I wanna trade in these ol' cowboy boots For some fine Italian shoes Forget the mousse and the hairspray sugar We don't need none of that Just a little dab'll do ya girl Underneath a pork pie hat Until hell freezes over Maybe you can wait that long But I don't think Ronnie Milsap's gonna ever Record this song
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime baby Let's go to Memphis in the meantime girl Let's go to Memphis in the meantime baby Let's go to Memphis in the meantime girl
Maybe there's nothin' happenin' there But maybe there's somethin' in the aiiirrrrr Before our upper lips get stiff Maybe we need us a big ol' whiff...
If we could just get off-a that beat little girl Maybe we could find the groove At least we can get ourselves a decent meal Down at the Rendezvous 'Cause one more heartfelt steel guitar chord Girl, it's gonna do me in I need to hear some trumpet and saxophone You know sound as sweet as sin And after we get good and greasy Baby we can come on home Put the cow horns back on the Cadillac And change the message on the Cordaphone But...
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime baby Let's go to Memphis in the meantime girl Let's go to Memphis in the meantime baby Let's go to Memphis in the meantime girl
I'm a talking about Mem---phis I'm talkin' 'bout Mem---phis Mem---phis
One Hundred Miles To Liverpool Composer(s): Alan Hull Performer(s): Lindisfarne
Sue and Annie wrote me
they're coming down to quote me know every word to every song Rod N' Ray are talking, the radio is squawking me I'm wondering what the hell went wrong
Chorus: 100 miles more to Liverpool, 100 more miles to go been down this road in sunshine and in snow and it don't get any shorter and the water under the bridge has got to flow, oh no
Funny how a mile can go on forever funny how a day can be an age funny how a smile can face the stormy weather funny how a house can be a cage
Chorus: 100 miles more to Liverpool, 100 more miles to go been down this road in sunshine and in snow and it don't get any shorter and the water under the bridge has got to flow
John and Paul are sleeping, a streetcleaner is sweeping the moon is on his own no place to go Me, I'm cracking jokes in the bar with all the blokes toasting the end of another show
Chorus: But in my dreams I see Liverpool in lights dancing in the streets 'til the early morning light The tug boat on the Mersey joining in the Jamboree well a man must have his dreams even though his dreams might never come to be
Chorus: 100 miles more to Liverpool, 100 more miles to go been down this road in sunshine and in snow and it don't get any shorter and the water under the bridge has got to
Chorus: 100 miles more to Liverpool, 100 more miles to go been down this road in sunshine and in snow and it don't get any shorter and the water under the bridge has got to flow
One Hit (To The Body) Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards; Ron Wood Performer(s): The Rolling Stones
You fell out of the clear blue sky To the darkness below The smell of your flesh excites me My blood starts to flow So help me God
You burst in in a blaze of light You unzippered the dark One kiss took my breath away One look lights up the stars And it's it's one hit to the body It comes straight from the heart One hit to the body Sure went straight to the mark So help me God
It's one shot when you love me One shot when you leave me I don't need no security I just need some peace And it's one hit to the body It comes straight from the heart One voice calls out my name It sure went straight to the mark
One punch and you knocked me down Tore my defenses apart One round took me out of the game You did me some permanent harm It took just one hit It took just one hit It ain't enough for me It ain't enough for me It ain't enough for me It's hurting me baby
Oh your love is a sweet addiction I can't clean you out of my veins It's a life long addiction That has damaged my brain It took just one hit to the body To tear my defenses apart One hit to the body Sure went straight to the mark One hit to the body And it comes straight from the heart One hit to the body To the body, to the body Come straight from the heart
One hit to the body And it comes straight from the heart
One hit to the body And it comes straight from the heart That's all it took, that's all it took So help me so help me so help me God So help me so help me so help me God
One hit to the body And it comes straight from the heart One hit to the body And it comes straight from the heart
One Hello Composer(s): Marvin Hamlish; Carole Bayer Sager Performer(s): Randy Crawford; Gladys And The Boxers; Pops Fernandez
If you're not afraid Of what love brings Then endings are beginnings Are beautiful things Its a chance you'll take It's a chance you'll win If someone gonna find you First you gotta let them in
Coz love begins with one hello The hardest part is over Now its easy letting go One hello is how it starts You might really love or lose your heart
If you're not afraid Of what you feel Then try and keep it simple Or try and keep it real And if being real means You'll some day say goodbye Remember my friend Goodbyes not the end Its a circle you'll learn And it starts with one hello
Love begins with one hello The hardest part is over Now it's easy letting go One hello is how it starts Remember my friend Goodbyes not the end Its a circle you know And it starts with one hello It starts with one hello
