I Feel The Magic Composer(s): Charlotte Caffey; J. Segal Performer(s): Belinda Carlisle
Last night I gave up on myself I hit the bed, tell me what should I do And in a dream I saw your face
It's more than just a face You make me want to give my heart away I feel the magic Like I never felt before I imagine that it's always been there I feel the magic There's an angel looking after me Angel baby give me more and more
Today I woke up by myself I hit the streets I wondered what should I do I never noticed from the start That I could feel alive again That I could feel a part of I feel the magic Like I never felt before I imagine that it's always been there I feel the magic There's an angel looking after me Angel baby give me more and more

I Feel The Earth Move Composer(s): Carole King First release by: Carole King - 1970 Covered by multiple other artists
I feel the earth move under my feet I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down I feel my heart start to trembling Whenever you're around
Ooh, baby, when I see your face Mellow as the month of May Oh, darling, I can't stand it When you look at me that way
I feel the earth move under my feet I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down I feel my heart start to trembling Whenever you're around
Oh, darling, when you're near me And you tenderly call my name I know that my emotions Are something I just can't tame I've just got to have you, baby
I feel the earth move under my feet I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down I feel the earth move under my feet I feel the sky tumbling down I just lose control Down to my very soul I get a hot and cold all over I feel the earth move under my feet I feel the sky tumbling down Tumbling down, tumbling down...
Jim Composer(s): Caesar Petrillo; Edward Ross; Nelson Shawn Performer(s): Billie Holiday; and various other artists
Why am I sitting alone tonight when I could be out where the lights are bright? It's all because of Jim It's all because of Jim Why am I wasting these precious years? Why am I crying these bitter tears? It's all because of Jim It's all because of Jim
(Chorus): Jim doesn't ever bring me pretty flowers Jim never tries to cheer my lonely hours Don't know why I'm so crazy for Jim Jim never tells me I'm his heart's desire I never seem to set his love afire Gone are the years I've wasted on him
Sometimes when I get feeling low I say "Let's call it quits" Then I hang on and let him go Breaking my heart in bits Some day I know that Jim will up and leave me But even if he does you can believe me I'll go on carrying the torch for Jim

Maria:
I feel pretty
Oh, so pretty
I feel pretty and witty and gay!
And I pity
Any girl who isn't me tonight
I feel charming
Oh, so charming
It's alarming how charming I feel!
And so pretty
That I hardly can believe I'm real
See the pretty girl in that mirror there
Who can that attractive girl be?
Such a pretty face
Such a pretty dress
Such a pretty smile
Such a pretty me!
I feel stunning
And entrancing
Feel like running and dancing for joy
For I'm loved
By a pretty wonderful boy!
Girls:
Have you met my good friend Maria
The craziest girl on the block?
You'll know her the minute you see her
She's the one who is in an advanced state of shock
She thinks she's in love
She thinks she's in Spain
She isn't in love
She's merely insane
It must be the heat
Or some rare disease
Or too much to eat
Or maybe it's fleas
Keep away from her
Send for Chino!
This is not the
Maria we know!
Modest and pure
Polite and refined
Well-bred and mature
And out of her mind!
Maria:
I feel pretty
Oh, so pretty
That the city should give me its key
A committee
Should be organized to honor me
Girls:
La la la la...
Maria:
I feel dizzy
I feel sunny
I feel fizzy and funny and fine
And so pretty
Miss America can just resign!
Girls:
La la la la...
Maria:
See the pretty girl in that mirror there
Girls:
What mirror where?
Maria:
Who can that attractive girl be?
Girls:
Which? What? Where? Whom?
Maria:
Such a pretty face
Such a pretty dress
Such a pretty smile
Such a pretty me!
Girls:
Such a pretty me!
All:
I feel stunning
And entrancing
Feel like running and dancing for joy
For I'm loved
By a pretty wonderful boy!
Jilted Composer(s): Robert Colby; Dick Manning Performer(s): Teresa Brewer Diana Decker; Alma Cogan; Joan Regan
Jilted, I've been jilted You've found a new love Didn't even say, "We're through, Love" Jilted, I've been jilted But I'm as happy as can be
I've been thinking it over Ever since your slippin' around begun Now I'll become a rover Two can play that game as well as one And even though our hot romance has Wilted, wilted, thanks for the favour Baby, you're a real lifesaver I'm happy that you jilted me
So I've been jilted I've been jilted
But I'm as happy as can be
I've been thinking it over Ever since your slippin' around begun Now I'll become a rover Two can play that game as well as one And even though our hot romance has Wilted, wilted, thanks for the favour Baby, you're a real lifesaver I'm happy that you jilted me
Together Composer(s): Lew Brown - Buddy DeSylva - Ray Henderson Performer(s): Dick Haymes & Helen Forrest and multiple other artists
(Helen) We strolled the lane together Laughed at the rain together Sang loves refrain together And wed both pretend it would never end One day we cried together Passed love aside together Youre gone from me but in my memory We always will be together
(Dick) We strolled the lane together Laughed at the rain together Sang loves refrain together And wed both pretend it would never end Through storm and sun together Our hearts as one together Youre gone from me but in my memory We always will be together

Performer(s): Ann De Winne - 1998
'k Voel me heerlijk, o zo heerlijk ´k Voel eindelijk helemaal vrouw Zeg eens eerlijk, kun je zien dat ik van iemand hou
Hij komt hierheen, hij komt bij me En ik weet, dat is waar ik op wacht Geen geheimen, en nu delen wij de hele nacht
Kijk die mooie meid in de spiegel daar Ik ben zo jaloers dat ik stik Kijk dat mooie haar, kijk die mooie strik Kijk dat´s gebaar, kijk die mooie ik
Ik wil draaien, ik wil dansen Nu mijn fraaie romance begint ´k Wordt geliefd, er is iemand die me bemint
Ik heb klasse, zoveel klasse Het is echt een verassend niveau Zo volwassen, ik krijg alles wat ik wil cadeau
Ik wil zingen, ik wil fluiten Ik wil springen, 't is buitengewoon Zoveel klasse, miss Amerika ik eis je kroon
Kijk die mooie meid in de spiegel daar (Wie, wat, doe, waar) Ik ben zo jaloers dat ik stik (Wie, wat, doe, daar ) Kijk dat mooie haar, kijk die mooie blik Kijk ´s dat gebaar, kijk die mooie ik
Ik wil draaien, ik wil dansen Nu mijn fraaie romance begint ´k Wordt geliefd, er is iemand die me bemint
Jij Bent Nu Daarbinnen Performer(s): Ramses Shaffy & Liesbeth List
Jij bent nu daarbinnen Wat moet ik beginnen 'k Sta jou te beminnen In kou en regen De angst houdt me tegen Om onverwacht binnen te komen bij jou
Ik sta wat te fluiten 't Licht schijnt door de ruiten Misschien kom je buiten Ik hou me tegen Ik wacht in de regen Want ik kom misschien ongelegen bij jou
Ik hoor je ergens praten 't Maakt me zo verlaten 't Is al zo vreselijk laat En ik wou dat ik de moed had Dat ik de moed had Om binnen te komen bij jou
Jij zult het nooit weten Hoe ik, door elkaar gesmeten Stond in godvergeten kou en regen De maan lacht me tegen Ik lach en ik huil En ik glimlach om jou

J'suis nul en histoire Qu'est-ce que j'vais faire plus tard? Zéro en géographie Mal barré dans la vie J'serai pas docteur Pas dentiste, ni architecte, ni ingénieur Ca c'est sûr Mais en attendant, on est collé jusqu'à six heures
Qu'est-ce qu'on va faire plus tard? Et si on parlait plutôt de c'qu'on va faire ce soir? J'pourrai pas sortir Pas d'ciné, pas de télé et puis le pire J'suis puni, j'irai pas chez Marie-Claire Pour son anniversaire
C'est pas facile D'expliquer qu'on a la matière grise en rodage C'est inutile Et d'ailleurs la leçon ne vaut sans doute pas un fromage
Qu'est-ce que j'vais faire plus tard? Qu'est-ce que j'vais faire plus tard? Qu'est-ce que j'vais faire plus tard?
I Feel Like Hank Williams Tonight Composer(s): Chris Wall Performer(s): Jerry Jeff Walker; Alice Stuart; Chris Wall
Well, I could live my whole life, without a phone call The likes of which I got today It was only my wife, said hello then goodbye And told me shes going away
Well I didnt cry It was all cut and dried I hung up before I realized Turned up my stereo, I walked to the window Stared at the storm clouds outside
And I play classical music when it rains I play country when I am in pain But I wont play Beethoven, the moods just not right Oh, I feel like Hank Williams tonight
Theres no explanation, not even a reason No talk of the good times we had Was it me, was it her, I dont know for sure And thats why Im feelling so bad
Hey, I play jazz when I am confused I play country whenveer I lose Birds saxaphone, it just dont seem right Now, I feel like Hank Williams tonight
Lately Ive been thinkin, I just might quit drinkin Now I dont know all-in-all I just might stay home, get drunk all alone And punch a few holes in the wall
But when Im rel high I play rock n roll I play country when Im losing control I dont play Chuck Berry quite as much as Id like Now, I feel like Hank Williams tonight
Toen Ik De Leraar Kuste ((Adapted from: When I Kissed The Teacher (ABBA) - 1976)) ((French Version: Qu'est-Ce Que J'vais Faire Plus Tard (Marie-France Roussel & Stéphane & les enfants d'Asnières) - 1983)) Composer(s): Björn Ulvaeus - Benny Andersson - Walter Ertvelt Performer(s): Ann Christy - 1977
't Is te gek, maar waar Wat ik ga vertellen 't Verhaal van een verre droom Uit een ver verleden
Mijn vriendinnen weten 't wel Dat ik toen de leraar kuste Dat hij erg verrast was
Maar je moet geloven Dat de oplossing was voor mij Toen ik de leraar kuste Kon hij niet geloven Toen ik de leraar kuste Moest ik hem beloven Dit nooit meer te zullen doen Iedereen lachtte me uit Maar hij lachtte naar mij Toen ik de leraar kuste
Maar vandaag nog Zal ik hem zeggen dat hij vannacht bij me was Maar vandaag nog Zal ik hem zeggen dat ik vannacht bij hem was
En ik vond het fijn Toen ik de leraar kuste Stond hij maar in vuur en vlam Toen ik de leraar kuste De leraar fysica Sprak over wetten van de algebra Wie weet wat was fout Toen ik de leraar heb gekust
Maar vandaag nog Zal ik hem zeggen dat hij vannacht bij me was Maar vandaag nog Zal ik hem zeggen dat ik vannacht bij hem was
En hij vond het fijn Toen ik de leraar kuste Verloor hij z'n hart Toen ik de leraar kuste Heb ik hem beloofd Het nog te zullen doen Hij keek in mijn ogen Alles werd toen groen Toen ik de leraar kuste
I Feel Like Buddy Holly Composer(s): Mike Batt Performer(s): Alvin Stardust
I watched the planes come in on the early morning flights But I could not stand to see them land without you Now I'm thumbing through my fortyfives on another endless night And the same old lines going back in time Tell me this is nothing new
Well I feel like Buddy Holly 'cause it's Raining In My Heart All the sad songs take me back to you now that we are apart
Now I know how Paul McCartney felt when he got up to say I wish it was Yesterday
So I sit here playing Solitaire; it's a game I know so well Ever since that day when you called to say: It's over Now I've made my reservation at the Heartbreak Hotel While I'm living without you I'm thinking about you like Only The Lonely do
Well I feel like Buddy Holly 'cause it's Raining In My Heart
Now I know what Paul Simon meant by the words he found I wish I was Homeward Bound
Well I feel like Buddy Holly 'cause it's Raining In My Heart
Now I know how Paul McCartney felt when he got up to say I wish it was Yesterday I wish it was Yesterday
