Baby we can talk all night
But that ain't gettin us nowhere
I told you everything I possibly can
There's nothing left inside of here
And maybe you can cry all night
But that'll never change the way I feel
The snow is really piling up outside
I wish you wouldn't make me leave here
I poured it on and I poured it out
I tried to show you just how much I care
I'm tired of words and I'm too hoarse to shout
But you've been cold to me so long
I'm crying icicles instead of tears
And all I can do is keep on telling you
I want you, I need you
But-there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
Now don't be sad
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach
You'll never drill for oil on a city street
I know you're looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks
But there ain't no Coup de Ville hiding at the bottom
of a Cracker Jack box
I can't lie, I can't tell you something I'm not
No matter how I try
I'll never be able to give you something
Something that I just haven't got
There's only one girl I'll ever love
And that was so many years ago
And though I know I'll never get her out of my heart
She never loved me back
Ooh I know
I remember how she left me on a stormy night
She kissed me and got out of our bed
And though I pleaded and I begged her not to walk out that door
She packed her bags and turned right away
And she kept on telling me
She kept on telling me
She kept on telling me
I want you, I need you
But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
I want you, I need you
But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
Baby we can talk all night
But that ain't getting us nowhere
I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That) Composer(s): Meat Loaf Performer(s): Meat Loaf
And I would do anything for love I'd run right into hell and back I would do anything for love I'll never lie to you and that's a fact
But I'll never forget the way you feel right now, oh no, no way And I would do anything for love Oh I would do anything for love I would do anything for love But I won't do that No I won't do that
And some days it don't come easy And some days it don't come hard Some days it don't come at all, and these are the days that never end
And some nights you're breathing fire And some nights you're carved in ice Some nights you're like nothing I've ever seen before or will again
And maybe I'm crazy Oh it's crazy and it's true I know you can save me, no one else can save me now but you
As long as the planets are turning As long as the stars are burning As long as your dreams are coming true, you'd better believe it!
That I would do anything for love And I'll be there till the final act And I would do anything for love And I'll take the vow and seal a pact
But I'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way, tonight
And I would do anything for love But I won't do that No, I won't do that!
I would do anything for love Anything you've been dreaming of But I just won't do that [x2]
And some days I pray for silence And some days I pray for soul Some days I just pray to the god of sex and drums and rock 'n' roll!
And maybe I'm lonely That's all I'm qualified to be There's just one and only, one and only promise I can keep
As long as the wheels are turning As long as the fires are burning As long as your prayers are coming true, you'd better believe it!
That I would do anything for love And you know it's true and that's a fact I would do anything for love And there'll never be no turning back
But I'll never do it better than I do it with you, so long, so long And I would do anything for love Oh, I would do anything for love I would do anything for love But I won't do that No, no, no, I won't do.....
I would do anything for love Anything you've been dreaming of. But I just won't do that! [x3]
But I'll never stop dreaming of you Every night of my life No way
And I would do anything for love But I won't do that No I won't do that
[Girl] Will you raise me up, will you help me down? Will you get me right out of this God forsaken town? Will you make it all a little less cold?
[Boy] I can do that Oh I can do that
[Girl] Will you cater to every fantasy I've got? Will you hose me down with holy water, if I get too hot? Hot! Will you take me places I've never known?
[Boy] Now I can do that! Oh oh now, I can do that!
[Girl] After awhile you'll forget everything It was a brief interlude And a midsummer night's fling And you'll see that it's time to move on
[Boy] I won't do that I won't do that
[Girl} I know the territory, I've been around It'll all turn to dust and will all fall down Sooner or later, you'll be screwing around
[Boy] I won't do that No, I won't do that
Anything for love Oh, I would do anything for love I would do anything for love But I won't do that No, I won't do that
Kind Woman Composer(s): Richie Furay Performer(s): Buffalo Springfield; Richie Furay; Last Train Home; Jim Messina; Poco; Percy Sledge; Chris Smither
I got a good reason for loving you It's an old fashioned sigh I kinda get to feelin' like mmmmm you know when I fell in love the first time Kind woman Won't you love me tonight I'm seein' the look in your eyes Kind woman Don't leave me lonely tonight Please say it's alright
Remember once before you're hearing The old folks say Love's an ageless old rhyme But now-a-days you know the sayin' depends So much on The kind of woman that you find
Kind woman Won't you love me tonight I'm seein' the look in your eyes Kind woman Don't leave me lonely tonight Won't you say it's alright
Kind woman Won't you love me tonight I'm seein' the look in your eyes Kind woman Don't leave me lonely tonight Won't you say it's alright
Two On A Tandem Composer(s): Jones Performer(s): Billy Cotton & His Band
Two on a tandem every fine week end Ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling Ring the bell around the bend Two on a tandem with skies of blue above Just speeding along at random With the one you love
Travelling along the country road Oh what a lovely ride There are such pretty things to see Nature is by your side
Two on a tandem with skies of blue above Just speeding along at random With the one you love
Quack, Quack, Quack, Gerout of it Quack, quack, Quack, Quack
Travelling along the country road Oh what a lovely ride There are such pretty things to see Nature is by your side
Two on a tandem with skies of blue above Just speeding along at random With the one you love
Dansende paarden, de draaimolen draait Of de tijd stil heeft gestaan Hijgende paarden, de draaimolen gaat Langzamer lopen De baas van het spul schreeuwt zijn keel schor Hij wordt ouder
Kinderen een kwartje Stap maar in, kies maar uit Neem die met de langste staart Tien keer in de rondte Opgepast, hou je vast Onder val je van je paard Kinderen een kwartje Maar zijn stem komt niet ver Door het gieren van metaal Want de kermis is een soort fabriek Die pret produceert
Paarden gaan leven, de draaimolen draait Levende paarden van hout Alles wordt plastic, de draaimolen gaat Langzamer lopen Ook kinderen willen steeds sneller Harder, hoger
Kinderen hebben kwartjes opgespaard Eens per jaar kan je scheuren op het plein In razend snelle monsters Trappen maar, op zijn staart Hou je groot al ben je klein Kijk de mensen suizen Door de lucht, op de vlucht Van de sleur van aller dag Waar je in zit doet er weinig toe Zolang het maar draait
Kinderen een kwartje Stap maar in, kies maar uit Neem die met de langste staart Lekker in de rondte Opgepast, hou je vast Anders val je van je paard Kinderen een kwartje Maar zijn stem komt niet ver Door het gieren van metaal Op een kermis vol met ruimtevaart Zijn paarden niets waard
Dansende paarden, de draaimolen draait Of de tijd stil heeft gestaan Hijgende paarden, de draaimolen draait Totdat de tijd toe zal slaan Dansende paarden, de draaimolen draait Of de tijd stil heeft gestaan Kreunende paarden, de draaimolen draait Totdat het hout is vergaan Nanananana nananana nananananana nanananananana nanananana
Two Of Us ((Dutch Version: Jij En Ik (Mal Evans Memorial Band) - 2007))
Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney
First release: The Beatles - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists
Two of us riding nowhere
Spending someone's
Hard earned pay
Two of us Sunday driving
Not arriving
On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home
Two of us sending postcards
Writing letters
On my wall
You and me burning matches
Lifting latches
On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home.
You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches out ahead
Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing so low
In the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere
On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home
You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches out ahead
Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing so low
In the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere
On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home
We're going home
Better believe it
I'd Cry Like A Baby Composer(s): Simon Gallup; Howard Steiner Performer(s): Dean Martin; Dick Stabile & His Orch.
I'd cry like a baby if you told me goodbye I'd feel like a snowball on the 4th of July If you ever said you were leaving for good I'd weep like a weeping willow, honest I would I'd cry like a baby with a busted balloon I'd let out a wail that would be heard to the moon Our love was so splendid don't end it so soon Don't leave me here sighing, sobbing and a-sighing Crying like a baby for you

Kindermeidslied (Nurse's Song) Composer(s): Blake; Ruud Engelander; Boudewijn de Groot Performer(s): Boudewijn de Groot
Ik hoor de kinderstemmen Ik hoor ze op het veld Hun lachen klinkt bij de rivier En plotseling moet ik denken Aan de dagen van mijn jeugd Toen was ik nog niet hier
Kom nu naar huis mijn kinderen Het is al veel te laat De klok van de toren slaat elf Je lente je daglicht Verspil je met spelen En je winter je nacht Als een ander dan jezelf
Kom nu naar huis mijn kinderen Het is al veel te laat De klok van de toren slaat elf Je lente je daglicht Verspil je met spelen En je winter je nacht Als een ander dan jezelf

I'd Climb The Highest Mountain Composer(s): Lew Brown; Sidney Clare Performer(s): Al Jolson and multiple other artists
I'd climb the highest mountain If I knew that when I climbed that mountain I'd find you I'd swim the deepest river If I knew that when I swam that river I'd find you
Without you dear, my life means nothing to me No matter where you are That's where I want to be I'd pray to get to heaven `Cause I know that if I got to heaven I'd find you
Honey child, I'd climb the highest mountain That is, if I knew, when I got to the top That I'd find you, sittin' there I'd even swim the deepest river If I knew that when I swam that river You'd be waiting on the other side
You see, without you, honey My life don't mean nothin' to me And no matter where you are Honey child, that's just where I wanna be I'd pray to get to heaven `Cause I know that if I got to heaven I'd find you
Oh, m'n kindertijd Kijk niet naar mij met zulke bange ogen Je stuurde me zelf de wereld in En ik weet ook niet hoe het komt Dat duizend en een dingen Zelfs nu nog steeds niet mogen
Heus ik voel mee met jouw machtsfantasieën Je trappelende ongeduld Maar ik ben nog nauwelijks op weg Er moet nog veel gebeuren En we zijn het eens Een kinderhand is niet gauw gevuld
Oh, m'n kindertijd Kijk niet naar mij met zulke bange ogen We kregen de wereld nog niet klein Omdat ik nog groeide en even vergat Dat wat jij van mij verwachtte Altijd zwaarder heeft gewogen
Ein kleines Kompliment Hört jede Frau so gern Es ist für sie das Schönste Was es gibt auf uns'rem Stern Ein kleines Kompliment Ist mehr als Schmuck und Nerz Es ist der gold'ne Schlüssel Für ihr Herz Immer wieder möchte sie es von dir hören Diesen kleinen Wunsch sollst du ihr nie verwehren Wie schön wird's für dich sein Wenn selig sie bekennt An unserm Glück war schuld Ein kleines Kompilment
Nichts so labil wie der Geschmack von einer Frau Das weiss ein Mann ganz genau Eines aber gibt's was ihr zu jeder Zeit gefällt Gleich wo sie auch lebt auf dieser Welt
A Legend In My Time ((aka (I'd Be) A Legend in My Time (by Frank Ifield) - 1963))
Composer(s): Don Gibson
First release by: Don Gibson - 1960
Covered by multiple other artists
If heartaches brought fame
In love's crazy game
I'd be a legend in my time
If they gave gold statuettes
For tears and regrets
I'd be a legend in my time
But they don't give awards
And there's no praise or fame
For a heart that's been broken
Over love that's in vain
If loneliness meant world acclaim
Everyone would know my name
I'd be a legend in my time
But they don't give awards
And there's no praise or fame
For a heart that's been broken
Over love that's in vain
If loneliness meant world acclaim
Then everyone would knoow my name
I'd be a legend in my tiime
I'd be a legend in my tiime
Two Of A Kind Composer(s): Bob Montgomery - Earl Sinks Performer(s): Sue Thompson and multiple other artists
They say we're searching for love we'll never find They say we're foolish kids, we're two of a kind We know we've found our love when your lips meet mine That's when we know they're right, we're two of a kind No matter what they say when it's all said and done And we are old enough, we two will be one. And when we pass them by with your hand in mine Then they'll just smile and say "they're two of a kind" No matter what they say when it's all said and done And we are old enough, we two will be one. And when we pass them by with your hand in mine Then they'll just smile and say "they're two of a kind"

Du gingst von mir fort - ich werde warten Du gabst mir dein wort - ich werde warten
Weil Du fur mich wie die sonne bist Auch wenn du heut eine andere küsst Alles was war, war fur mich wunderschön Ich kann die welt ohne dich nicht verstehn
Alles was kommt das ist sinnlos fur mich Denn ich bin arm ich bin arm ohne dich Ich will verzeihn das verspreche ich dir Komm doch zurück bleib fur immer bei mir
Du gingst von mir fort - ich werde warten Du gabst mir dein wort - ich werde warten
Weil erst mit dir dieses leben begann Ich hab gesehn dal3 es herrlich sein kann Alles was war, war für mich wunderschön Ich kann die welt ohne dich nicht verstehn
Alles was kommt das ist sinnlos fur mich Denn ich bin arm ich bin arm ohne dich Ich will verzeihn das verspreche ich dir Komm doch zurück bleib fur immer bei mir
Du gingst von mir fort - ich werde warten Du gabst mir dein wort - ich werde warten Denn du, du nur allein du bist mein sonnenschein

Ich Weiss, Es Wird Einmail Ein Wunder Gescheh'n Composer(s): Bruno Balz; Michael Jary Performer(s): Zarah Leander
Ich weiss, es wird einmal ein Wunder geschehn und dann werden tausend Märchen wahr Ich weiss, so schnell kann keine Liebe vergehn die so gross ist und so wunderbar
Wir haben beide denselben Stern und dein Schicksal ist auch meins Du bist mir fern und doch nicht fern denn unsere Seelen sind eins
Und darum wird einmal ein Wunder geschehn und ich weiss, dass wir uns wiedersehn!
Wenn ich ohne Hoffnung leben müste wenn ich glauben müste, dass mich niemand liebt dass es nie für mich ein Glück mehr gibt ach, das wär' schwer Wenn ich nicht in meinem Herzen wüste dass du einmal zu mir sagst: Ich liebe dich wär' das Leben ohne Sinn für mich doch ich weiss mehr
Ich weiss, es wird einmal ein Wunder geschehn...
Keinem ist mein Herz so gut gewesen wie dem Einem, der mich jetzt verlassen hat der für mich nicht einen Gruss mehr hat der mich vergass Könnt' er jetzt in meinen Augen lesen was ich fühle, dann würd' alles anders sein Ewig kann doch nicht verloren sein was ich besass
