My young love said to me: My mother won't mind And my father won't slight you for your lack of kind She put her arms 'round me; these words she did say It will not be long, love, 'til our wedding day!
Then she stepped away from me, and she moved through the Fair And so fondly I watched her move here and move there At last she turned homeward, with one star awake As the Swan in the evening moves over the lake
Last night she came to me, my dead love came in And so soft did she move that her feet made no din She put her arms 'round me; these words she did say It will not be long, love, 'til our wedding day!
She Means Nothing To Me Composer(s): Sunny David Performer(s): Phil Everly & Cliff Richard
Well here she comes now I'm on the run now Pretending just pretending that I don't see her
Just to teach her but Darlin' How much longer can I keep on living this lie? She means nothing to me she means nothing to` me
I'm still as free as a bird don't care what you heard about me She means nothing to me - no more She's my world not just some girl
Harder it's getting harder to fool anyone not just her But I act like a man she'd expect me to: No tears win her respect Who am I fooling if I can't fool me? Who believes what their eyes don't see? But I keep on lying She means nothing to me she don't she means nothing to me. . . . All my dreams are depending on her and how good I'm pretending that She means nothing to me nothing she means nothing to me . . . She means nothing to me she don't she means nothing to me . . .
Qu'y A-T-Il De Changé? Composer(s): Serge Lama; Yves Gilbert Performer(s): Marie Laforêt
Un carillon ding dong Fait un peu de ping pong Dans l'espace léger Les cloches se répondent Aux quatre coins du monde Qu'y a-t-il de changé?
Un soleil blanc là-bas Ajoute un zéro à L'addition de l'été Il fait beau dans la tête Des gens de la planète Est-ce l'éternité?
Un Pierrot fou d'amour A cent fois fait le tour Du monde en cerf-volant Il fait tourner les tables Il a l'air d'un bon diable Sous son air insolent
Les enfants ont du cur Ils font pousser des fleurs Autour de leurs cerceaux Rien qu'en faisant la ronde Ils bâtissent un monde Où les enfants sont beaux
Tous les chasseurs d'antan Jouent à tuer le temps Plus jamais de vautours Les gibiers de potence Ont mis leur insolence Au compte de l'amour
Tout ceci n'est pas vrai C'est un mauvais portrait Eh bien ma foi tant pis Puisque le jour se lève Et dessine mon rêve Aux formes de Paris
Car le monde est au fond Au fond au fond au fond Comme dans les chansons Et les jours où il pleut Quand le ciel est moins bleu Y a qu'à fermer les yeux
She May Have Seen Better Days Composer(s): James Thornton Performer(s): George J. Gaskin and multiple other artists
While strolling along with the city's vast throng On a night that was bitterly cold I noticed a crowd who were laughing aloud At something they chanced to behold
I stopped for to see what the object could be And there on a doorstep lay A woman in tears from the crowd's angry jeers And then I heard somebody say
She may have seen better days when she was in her prime She may have seen better days once upon a time Though by the wayside she fell, she may yet mend her ways Some poor old mother is waiting for her who has seen better days
If we could tell why the poor creature fell Perhaps we'd not be so severe If the truth were but known on this outcast alone Maybe we would all shed a tear
She was once someone's joy, cast aside like a toy Abandoned, forsaken, unknown Every man standing by had a tear in his eye For some had a daughter at home
She may have seen better days when she was in her prime She may have seen better days once upon a time Though by the wayside she fell, she may yet mend her ways Some poor old mother is waiting for her who has seen better days
The crowd went away, but I longer did stay For from her I was loath to depart I knew by her moan, as she sat there alone That something was breaking her heart
She told me her life, she was once a good wife Respected and honoured by all Her husband had fled ere tney were long wed And tears down her cheeks sadly fell
She may have seen better days when she was in her prime She may have seen better days once upon a time Though by the wayside she fell, she may yet mend her ways Some poor old mother is waiting for her who has seen better days
She May Call You Up Tonight Composer(s): Michael David Lookofsky; Steve Carmelo Martin First release by: The Left Banke - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
I've been telling lies I never knew all to keep that girl away from you but she may call you up tonight then what could I say that would sound right
Thoughts that raised my mind just pushed aside all the chances there that we once had but she may call you up tonight then what could I say that would sound right
And when I'm crying yes I know my mind is flying to a place where there's no trying but she may call you up tonight
I've been telling lies I never knew all to keep that girl away from you but she may call you up tonight then what could I say that would sound right
but she may call you up tonight then what could I say that would sound right then what could I say that would sound right
She May Be Composer(s): George Kooymans Performer(s): Golden Earring
She may be The girl you're holding tight She's the one I cried for every night I warn you friend It must be soon And she will say goodbye Just like mine Your arms and veins Will fly in the sky One thing I know for sure This happened once before She'll turn her back on you And take me in her arms again She may be The girl you're holding tight She's the one I cried for every night Now she's the kind of girl Who always flies around But someday soon she'll see it That I'm the only real love That mine's the only real love That mine's the only real love
She Made Toothpicks Of The Timber Of My Heart Composer(s): Sammy Mysels; Dick Sanford Performer(s): Homer & Jethro
Fer a backwoods gal was she And fer choppin' down a tree She was handy with an ax and she was smart Oh but I should have passed her by When she waved and hollered hi She made toothpicks of the timber of my heart
Well when whe promised to be mine I cut ninety logs of pine For a little cabin in our world of hearts All our dreams were heaven bound Till she tore that castle down She made toothpicks of the timber of my heartx
She made toothpicks of the timber of my heart She made toothpicks of the timber of my heart Like a buzzsaw rips a pole She made sawdust of my soul She made toothpicks of the timber of my heart
She was tall and she was limber And for timber she was fine But her lips were poison oak and turpentine She was cute and I was green Yes my darlin' lumber queen Twined me 'round her finger like a clingin' vine
Now I hang around the shack Jist a lonesome lumberjack Mighta knowed her heart Was wooden from the start When she snatched away her charms There were splinters in my arms She made toothpicks of the timber of my heart
She made toothpicks of the timber of my heart She made toothpicks of the timber of my heart When she rolled me down that hill And she run me thru the mill She made toothpicks of the timber of my heart

She Loved A Lot In Her Time Composer(s): Randy Boudreaux; Sam Hogin; Kim Williams Performer(s): George Jones
I started drinking and actin' crazy Way back in '65 Mama would pray and say he's my baby Lord please keep him alive
Sister came home with two little children Her man had left her alone Mama knew too well the hurt she'd been feelin' 'Cause Daddy'd been gone for so long
We all did our part to add to her pain We all broke her heart but she never complained
She loved a lot in her time She watched love grow and die on the vine She stood in the shadows So others could shine She loved a lot in her time
Mama's prayers were answered a long time ago I ain't touched a drink in 10 years Sister remarried to a Good Ol' Boy They don't live far from here
Mama's work is done Now she's gone on home... The words in our hearts Are engraved on her stone
She loved a lot in her time She watched love grow and die on the vine She stood in the shadows So others could shine She loved a lot in her time
She loved a lot in her time She watched love grow and die on the vine She stood in the shadows So others could shine She loved a lot in her time
Het is weer tijd om op te staan Maar ik heb geen zin (hij heeft geen zin) Om naar m'n baas te gaan Met m'n blote voeten op het kouwe zeil (Met z'n grote blote voeten op het kouwe zeil) Ik heb geen zin om op te staan Ik heb geen zin om op te staan (ik heb geen zin om op te staan)
Was jij maar hier, was jij maar hier Want het is zo fijn (het is zo fijn) Om hier met jou te zijn Met m'n voeten tegen je pyjama aan (Met z'n grote voeten tegen je pyjama aan) Ik heb geen zin om op te staan Ik heb geen zin om op te staan (ik heb geen zin om op te staan)
Ik blijf in bed, de hele dag Want ik heb geen zin (hij heeft geen zin) Om d'r nou nog uit te gaan Met m'n blote handen naar mijn baas te gaan (Met z'n grote blote handen naar z'n baas te gaan) Ik heb geen zin om op te staan Ik heb geen zin om op te staan (ik heb geen zin om op te staan) Ik heb geen zin om op te staan (ik heb geen zin om op te staan) Ik heb geen zin om op te staan (ik heb geen zin om op te staan)...

You looked like a princess the night we met With your hair piled up high I will never forget I'm drunk right now baby But I've got to be Or I never could tell you What you meant to me

She Is Still A Mystery Composer(s): John Sebastian Performer(s): The Lovin' Spoonful
Remember hallways, you're waiting always To see behind the door You never seen her, you're gonna meet her The first time so unsure She smiles your way through a window You smile right back, she runs away You wish little girls would sit still just a little bit longer, longer
And she's still a mystery to me I thought I'd grow up gracefully And understand my woman finally But the more I see The more I see there is to see, there is to see And she's still a mystery to me (She's still a mystery to me) She's still a mystery to me
I used to wonder when in thunder Understandin's done But now I'm graspin' that understandin' Is only part of love She'll smile your way through a window You'll smile right back, she'll run away You wish little girls would sit still just a little bit longer, longer
And she's still a mystery to me I thought I'd grow up gracefully And understand her finally But she's a mystery to me But she's a mystery to me ...
She Has A Way Composer(s): Gene Clark Performer(s): The Byrds; Brent Barrett
I was really good to her but how she broke my heart She looked so young and she seemed so sweet but I was wrong from the start She has a way about her that makes her run around Now I wonder if she'll ever wanna settle down
Oh oh, oh oh
I waited so impatiently it didn't do my mind any good I never thought she would set me free I did all the things that I should Then all at once I looked for her but she could not be found Now I wonder if she'll ever wanna settle down
Oh oh, oh oh
I didn't think that I Could wait for her very long But I didn't realize My love for her was so strong
She might be going from heart to heart she might be putting them down The way she took it all apart made me the laugh of the town She has a way about her that makes her run around Now I wonder if she'll ever wanna settle down

She Had To Go And Lose It At The Astor Composer(s): Don Ray; Hugh Prince Performer(s): Johnny Messner and multiple other artists
We'd like to tell you a story about a young girl about eighteen years old, about five feet two, and about to go out Now, her Mother, realising it was her first time out with a young man called her into the bedroom and said "Minnie, you're all dressed up in your finery, your very best clothes and you look beautiful, you're gorgeous, you're alluring (you look swell, baby) and now Minnie I want you to remember everything I've always told you and above all I want you to be very, very careful.....
But she had to go and lose it at the Astor She didn't take her mother's good advice Now there aren't so many girls today who have one And she'd never let it go for any price
They searched the place from penthouse to the cellar In every room and underneath each bed Once they thought they saw it lying on a pillow But they found it belonged to someone else instead
But she had to go and lose it at the Astor She didn't know exactly whom to blame And she couldn't say just how or when she lost it She only knew she had it when she came
They questioned all the bellboys and the porter The chef appeared to be the guilty guy And the doorman also acted quite suspicious But he coyly said, "I'm sure it wasn't I"
But she had to go and lose it at the Astor It nearly killed her mother and her dad Now they felt as bad about the thing as she did After all it was the only one she had
They just about completed all their searching When the chauffeur walked up with it in his hand All they did was stand and gape, there was Minnie's sable cape And she thought that she had lost it at the Astor
