There, I've Said It Again
Composer(s): David Mann - Redd Evans
First release by: Benny Carter & His Orch. - 1941
Covered by multiple other artists



I love you, there's nothing to hide
It's better than burning inside
I love you, no use to pretend
There! I've said it again

I've said it, what more can I say
Believe me, there's no other way
I love you, I will to the end
There! I've said it again

I try to drum up
A phrase that will sum up
All that I feel for you
But what good are phrases
The thought that amazes
Is that you love me
And it's heavenly

Forgive me for wanting you so
But one thing I want you to know
I've loved you since heaven knows when
There! I've said it again

Cook's Country
Composer(s): Pete Townshend
Performer(s): The Who



People are suffering
I'll say it again
People are suffering
I'll say it again
People are suffering
I'll say it again
So remember when you're looking for trouble
That trouble is already busy with weaker men

People are hungry
I'll say it again
People are hungry
I'll say it again
People are hungry
I'll say it again
So don't you abuse that body
It'll snap without assistance my friends

The song goes on
I'll sing again until the music enervates
The song goes on
The sting of pain will dull and finally fade away
The song goes on
Through centuries of history it reverberates
The song goes on
On curving comets track the music makes it way
This song is so long
It ends up where it begins

People are lonely
I'll say it again
People are lonely
I'll say it again
People are lonely
I'll say it again
So don't let them run too far from home
You'll be alone for sure on that you can depend

People are bleeding
I'll say it again
People are bleeding
I'll say it again
People are bleeding
I'll say it again
So put away that switchblade knife
Tighten up the knot that'll help this bloodshed end

The song goes on - the song goes on
This song
Is so long
It ends up where it begins

People are suffering
I'll say it again and again
People are hungry
I'll say it again and again
People are lonely
I'll say it again and again

and various other artists



She would never say where she came from
Yesterady don't matter if it's gone
While the sun is bright
Or in the darkest night
No one knows, she comes and goes

Goodbye Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you

Don't question why she needs to be so free
She'll tell you it's the only way to be
She just can't be chained
To a life where nothing's gained
And nothing's lost, at such a cost

Goodbye Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you

"There's no time to lose", I heard her say
Catch your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time
Lose your dreams and you will lose your mind
Ain't life unkind?

Goodbye Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you

There, I Said It
Composer(s): Margo Smith
Performer(s): Margo Smith



I love you (I love you), I love you (I love you)
There, I said it
And you know somethin'
It didn't hurt at all

I need you (I need you), gotta have you (gotta have you)
There, I said it
Stay close to me, 'cause without you
I'd surely fall

I've waited so long to say those words
I was about to burst inside
I'm a little bit shy, a little old fashioned
And full of the word called pride

But now that I see, I'm done with regret
I wanna stand and shout, tell the world about it
I'm so happy
I finally had the nerve to say

I love you (I love you), I love you (I love you)
There, I said it
And you know somethin'
It didn't hurt at all

I need you (I need you), I gotta have you (I gotta have you)
There, I said it
Stay close to me, 'cause without you
I'd surely fall

Stay close to me, 'cause without you
I'd surely fall

Don't wait for the postman
If you're looking for a letter from me
There won't be anymore
There won't be anymore

And don't sit by your telephone
If you're waiting for a call from me
There won't be anymore
There won't be anymore

Don't think of the love we had
Til you turned bad
And broke my loving heart
And when your heart is breaking
And you need some loving from me
There won't be anymore
There won't be anymore

Don't think of the love we had
Til you turned bad
And broke my loving heart
And when your heart is breaking
And you need some loving from me
There won't be anymore
There won't be anymore

It won't be like before
There won't be anymore

Ruby

They say, Ruby you're like a dream
Not always what you seem
And though my heart may break when I awake
Let it be so, I only know
Ruby, it's you

They say, Ruby you're like a song
You just don't know right from wrong
And in your eyes I see heartaches for me
Right from the start, who stole my heart?
Ruby, it's you

I hear your voice and I must come to you (must come to you)
I have no choice, so what else can I do ? (what else can I do?)

They say, Ruby you're like a flame
Into my life you came
And though I should beware, still I just don't care
You thrill me so, I only know
Ruby, it's you

(I hear your voice and I must come to you)
(I have no choice, what else can I do ?-what can I do?)

They say, Ruby you're like a flame
Into my life you came
And though I should beware, still I don't care
You thrill me so, I only know
Ruby, it's you

There Will Never Be Another You 
Composer(s): Harry Warren - Mack Gordon
First performance by: John Payne & Joan Merrill - 1942
Covered by multiple other artists



This is our last dance together
Tonight soon will be long ago
And in our moment of parting
This is all I want you to know

There will be many other nights like this 
And I'll be standing here with someone new 
There will be other songs to sing 
Another fall, another spring 
But there will never be another you 

There will be other lips that I may kiss 
But they won't thrill me like yours used to do 
Yes, I may dream a million dreams 
But how can they come true 
If there will never ever be another you

Señalándome la gente ya no puedo vivir más
les dirás que todos mienten
que te adoro locamente
que no dicen la verdad

Si tú sabes que te quiero
que por ti mil veces muero
tienes que acallar las cosas
que andan ya de boca en boca
repartiendo su veneno

En las cosas del amor nunca podrán ser más de dos
y esto es un convite ya que la verdad no puedo más
Si toditos los latidos de mi amante corazón
sólo a ti te pertenecen por derecho, por amor
lo que va de boca en boca no nos debe de importar
si al Señor crucificaron qué podemos esperar

En las cosas del amor nunca podrán ser más de dos
y esto es un convite ya que la verdad no puedo más
Si toditos los latidos de mi amante corazón
sólo a ti te pertenecen por derecho, por amor
lo que va de boca en boca no nos debe de importar
si al Señor crucificaron qué podemos esperar

Les nuits de ta vie 
Sont froides comme des bambous 
N'écoute donc pas les autres 
Oui sèche bien tes joues 
Ecoute le vent fou, qui dit... 

Rubis, comme je t'aime 
Le feu est dans la plaine, le rhum dans ma main 
Rubis, vois, comme je t'aime 
Le feu est dans la plaine, ta bague dans ma main 

Ils sont tous partis 
A d'autres rendez-vous 
Et toi tu pleures toute seule 
Comme une rue sans joie 
Fille écoute le vent fou, qui dit... 

Rubis, comme je t'aime 
Le feu est dans la plaine, le rhum dans ma main 
Oh, Rubis, vois, comme je t'aime

There Used To Be A Ball Park
Composer(s): Joe Raposo
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra



And there used to be a ball park
Where the field was warm and green
And the people played their crazy game
With a joy I'd never seen
And the air was such a wonder
From the hot dogs and the beer
Yes, there used to be a ball park... right here

And there used to be rock candy
And a great big Fourth of July
With the fireworks exploding
All across the summer sky
And the people watched in wonder
How they laughed and how they'd cheer
And there used to be a ball park... right here

Now the children try to find it
And they can't believe their eyes
'Cause the old team just isn't playing
And the new team hardly tries
And the sky has got so cloudy
When it used to be so clear
And the summer went so quickly... this year

Yes, there used to be a ball park... right here

Conversation With The Devil
Composer(s): Ray Wylie Hubbard
Performer(s): Ray Wylie Hubbard



I had a dream last night I was cast into Hell by a jealous God
The Devil walked up and said you don't need no lightning rod
It hardly ever rains down here I can't recall the last storm
You aint gonna need that leather jacket it gets kinda warm
There's one way in there's no way out looks like you're to stay
The place is a mess, it's overcrowded, more are coming in everyday

I said ah man, wait a minute there's gotta be something wrong
I aint a bad guy just write these little songs
I always pay my union dues don't stay in the passing lane
And he said what about all that whiskey and the cocaine
I said well yeah but that's no reason to throw me in Hell
'Cause I didn't use the cocaine to get high, I just liked the way it smelled

He said come on over here son, let me show you around
Over there's where we put the preachers, I never liked those clowns
They're always blaming me for everything wrong under the sun
It aint harder to what's right, it's just maybe not as much fun
Then the walk around thinking they're better than me and you
Then they get caught in a motel room doing what they said not to do

Now the murderers and the rapists they go in this firey lake
As well as most of the politician and the cops on the take
And all the mothers that wait to get to KMart to spank their kids
Instead of showing what to do what's right, they just hit 'em for what they did
And all the daddy's who run off and abandon their daughters and sons
Oh anybody that hurts a child is gonna burn until it's done

Everybody is down here I said who's up in Heaven with God and the Son
Oh some saints and mystics and students of metaphysics 101
People who care and share and love and try to do what's right
Beautiful old souls who read a little stories to their babies every night
What you wont find up in Heaven are Christian Coalition Right Wing Conservatives
Country program directors and Nashville record executives

Now I said I've made some mistakes, but I'm not as bad as those guys
How can God to this to me or can't she sympathize
He said you're wrong about God being cruel and mean
Oh God is the most loving thing that's never been seen
I said hotshot tell me this which religion is the truest
He said there all about the same, Budda was not a Christian, but Jesus woulda made a good buddist

Well I thought about my future I didn't seem to have much of one
I looked around to leave but there was no place to run
I said I don't suppose I could go back and try living again
You know like reincarnation I hear that's the way it's always been
I can't answer that he said you're gonna have to wait for that response
But it's not any more unusual to be born twice than it is to be born once

Well it looked like I was gonna be stuck here as far as I could tell
I thought I might as well suck up you know what the hell
I said you know that soung that Charlie Daniels did
About how you went down to Georgia and played fiddle against that kid
He said yeah it broke my heart but you know what are you gonna do
I said to tell you the truth I thought your solo was the better of the two

Well then I woke up and I was lying in my bed
I went upstairs and kissed my little boy on his sleeping head
I took this dream as a sign from God so I thought I'd better pray
I said don't ever speak to me directly and thanks anyway
Now so much has changed about me besides me just giving up red meat
Some get spiritual cause they see the light and some cause they feel the heat

Mary, Peggy, Betty, Julie, rubias de New York
cabecitas adoradas que vierten amor
dan envidia a las estrellas, yo no se vivir sin ellas
Mary, Peggy, Betty, Julie, de labios en flor
Es como un cristal la risa loca de Julie
es como el cantar de un manantial
turba mi soñar el dulce hechizo de Peggy
su mirar azul, hondo como el mar
Deliciosas criaturas perfumadas
quiero el beso de sus boquitas pintadas
son ágiles muñecas del olvido y del placer
rien su alegria como un cascabel

Rubio cóctel que emborracha, así es Mary
su melena que es de plata, quiero para mí
si el amor que me ogrecía, solo dura un breve día
tiene el fuego de una brasa, tu pasión, Peggy

Es como un cristal la risa loca de Julie
es como el cantar ...

What is this that I can see
With icy hands taking hold on me
I am death and none can excel
I'll open the doors to heaven or hell

Oh, death, oh, death, can't you spare me over till another year?
Oh, death, oh, death, please spare me over till another year

Oh, death, someone would pray
Couldn’t you call some other day
God's children prayed 
The preacher's preached
The time of mercy is out of your reach

I'll fix your feet so you can't walk
I'll lock your jaws so you can't talk 
Close your eyes so you can 't see
This very hour come go with me

Death, I come to take the soul
Leave the body and leave it cold 
To drop the flesh oft of the frame
The earth and worms both have a claim

Oh, death, oh, death, can't you spare me over till another year?
Oh, death, oh, death, please spare me over till another year

My mother come to my bed
Place a cold towel upon my head 
My head is warm, my feet is cold
Death is moving upon my soul

Oh, death, how you treating me 
Close my eyes so I can't see
You hurt my body 
You make me cold
You're ruling my life right out of my soul

Oh, death, oh, death, can't you spare me over till another year?
Oh, death, oh, death, please spare me over till another year

Oh, death, please consider my age
Please don't take me at this stage
My wealth is all at your command
If you will move your icy hand

The old, the young, the rich or poor
Are all alike with me, you know
No wealth, no land, no silver, no gold
Nothing satisfies me but your soul

Oh, death, oh, death, can't you spare me over till another year?
Oh, death, oh, death, please spare me over till another year

Have you heard of the ship called 
"The Good Reuben James?"
Armed by hard-fighting men both of honor and of fame
She flew the Stars and Stripes of the land of the free
But tonight she's in her grave at the bottom of the sea

Chorus
Oh, tell me what were their names?, tell me what were their names?
Did you have a friend on The Good Reuben James?
Oh, tell me what were their names?, tell me what were their names?
Did you have a friend on The Good Reuben James?

One hundred men went down to their dark and watery grave
When that good ship went down, only forty-four were saved
Was the last day of October, they saved forty-four
From the dark, icy waters of that cold Iceland shore

Chorus

It was there in the dark of that cold and watery night
They watched for the U-boat and they waited for a fight
Then a whine and a rock and a great explosion's roar
They laid the Reuben James on the cold ocean floor

Chorus

Many years have passed since those brave men are gone
Those cold icy waters, they're still and they're calm
Many years have passed and still I wonder why
The worst of men must fight and the best of men must die

Chorus

Je t'en supplie

T'en vas pas comme ça, t'en vas pas comme ça
Je ne peux plus exister sans toi
Je sais que tu m'aimes encore
Je suis sûr que tu m'aimes encore
Je sais que tu m'aimes encore
Je suis sûr que tu m'aimes encore

A chaque instant chaque seconde
Le seul amour le seul au monde

Accepte-moi comme je suis
Accepte-moi comme je suis...

Reuben James

Performer(s): Kenny Rogers



Reuben James, in my song you live again
And the phrases that I rhyme
Are just the footsteps out of time
From the time when I knew you Reuben James

Reuben James all the folks around Madison County 
Cussed your name just a no 
Count share croppin colored man 
Who would steal anything he can 
And they always laid the blame on Reuben James

Reuben James, you still walk furrowed fields on my mind
The faded skirt the weathered brow
The calloused hand up on the plow 
I loved you then and I love you now Reuben James
Flora James, Reuben James

Gray, a gossip of Madison County died with child
And although your skin was black 
It was you that would not turn your back 
On a hungry white child with no name, Reuben James

Reuben James, with your mind on my soul
And the bible in your right hand 
You said turn the other cheek 
A better world is a waiting for the meek 
In my head those words remain from Reuben James

Reuben James one dark cloudy day 
That brought you from the fields
And to your lonely pine box came
Just a preacher, me and the rain 
To sing one last refrain for Reuben James

There She Is, Miss America
Composer(s): Bernie Wayne



There she is, Miss America 
There she is, your ideal
The dream of a million girls who are more than pretty can come true 
in Atlantic City 
For she may turn out to be the Queen of femininity 

There she is, Miss America
There she is, your ideal 
With so many beauties she took the town by storm 
With her all-American face and form 

And there she is 
Walking on air, she is
Fairest of the fair, she is
There she is - Miss America
