I'm Looking Through You (French Version: Je Lis Dans Tes Yeux) Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney First release by: The Beatles - 1965 Covered by multiple other artists
I'm looking through you Where did you go I thought I knew you What did I know You don't look different But you have changed I'm looking through you You're not the same
Your lips are moving I cannot hear You voice is soothing But the words aren't clear You don't sound different I've learned the game I'm looking through you You're not the same
Why, tell me why Did you not treat me right Love has a nasty habit Of disappearing overnight
You're thinking of me The same old way You were above me But not today The only difference Is you're down there I'm looking though you And you're nowhere
Why, tell me why Did you not treat me right Love has a nasty habit Of disappearing overnight
I'm looking through you Where did you go I thought I knew you What did I know You don't look different But you have changed I'm looking through you You're not the same Yeah, Oh, baby you've changed Aah, I'm looking through you Yeah, I'm looking through you You've changed, you've changed You've changed, you've changed
Everyday Composer(s): Dave Loggins; J.D. Martin Performer(s): The Oak Ridge Boys
You know a smile never goes out of style So brighten up the one that you wear Let it shine and you just might find You'll lighten up the load that you bear
You know with all the trouble and sorrow in the world It seems like the least we can do Just take that smile into the street And share it with everybody you meet
Everyday (Everyday) I want to shake somebody's hand Everyday (Everyday) I want make somebody know (That thinks they can) That they can (Yes, they can) Everyday (Everyday) I want to try (I want to try) To show my brothers and sisters that I want to help them along the way everyday, everyday
You know a kind word never goes unheard But too often goes unsaid and on the tongue Of the old and the young Gets swallowed up with pride instead
You know with all the trouble and sorrow in the world It seems like the least we can do Just take a kind word into the street And share it with everybody you meet
Everyday (Everyday) I want to shake somebody's hand Everyday (Everyday) I want make somebody know (That thinks they can) That they can (Yes, they can) Everyday (Everyday) I want to try (I want to try) To show my brothers and sisters that I want to help them along the way everyday, everyday
If they're lost, I want to show them the sunshine If they look tossed, I want to throw them a lifeline I want to reach out my hand (Reach out), a hand to hold Oh yeah, and let 'em know (Let 'em know) There's a light (That there's light) Down at the end of the road
If they're lost I want to show them the sunshine If they're tossed I want to throw them a lifeline
Everyday (Everyday) I want to shake somebody's hand Everyday (Everyday) I want make somebody know (That thinks they can) that they can (Yes, they can) Everyday (Everyday) I want to try (I want to try) To show my brothers and sisters that I want to help them along the way everyday, everyday

Everyday, it's a getting closer Going faster than a roller coaster Love like yours will surely come my way, (hey, hey, hey)
Everyday, it's a getting faster Everyone says go ahead and ask her Love like yours will surely come my way, (hey, hey, hey)
Everyday seems a little longer Every way, love's a little stronger Come what may, do you ever long for? True love from me?

I'm Livin' In Shame Composer(s): Henry Cosby; Gordy Jr.; Pam Sawyer; R. Dean Taylor; Frank Wilson Performer(s): Diana Ross & the Supremes
Mama was cookin' bread She wore a dirty raggedy scarf around her head Always had her stockings low Rolled to her feet just didn't know She wore a sloppy dress Oh no matter how she tried she always looked a mess Out of the pot she ate Never used a fork or a dinner plate I was always so afraid that The uptown friends would see her Afraid one day when I was grown That I would be her In college town away from here A new identity I found That I was born elite With maids and servants at my feet I must have been insane I lied and said mama died on a weekend trip to Spain She never got out of the house Never even boarded a train Married a guy, was living high
I didn't want him to know her she had a grandson two years old That I never even showed her I'm living in shame Mama, I miss you I know you're not to blame Mama, I miss you
Got a telegram Mama passed away while making home made jam before she died she cried to see me by her side She always did her best Ah cooked and cleaned and always in the same old dress Working hard, down on her knees Always trying to please Mama, mama, mama can you hear me Mama, mama, mama can you hear me I'm living in shame Mama, I miss you I know you've done your best Mama, I miss you Won't you forgive me mama For all the wrong I've done I know you've done your best Oh I know you've done the very best you could Mama I thought you understood Working hard, down on your knees Mama you're always, always trying to please
I'm Little, But I'm Loud Composer(s): Jimmy Dickens; Boudleaux Bryant Performer(s): Little Jimmy Dickens and multiple other artists
A lot of folks have told me I got poor, but I got right A winter apple picked up in the fall But even as a young'n I was not the bashful type 'Cause I could yell up loud to stop them all
I'm little, but I'm loud, I'm poor, but I'm proud I'm countrified and I don't care who knows it I'm like a Banty rooster in a big red rooster crowd I'm puny, short and little, but I'm loud
I learned to do my singin' walkin' long behind the plow The singin' teacher always passed me by And so I had to sing the only way that I know how Just rear back, open up and let her fly
I'm little, but I'm loud, I'm poor, but I'm proud I'm countrified and I don't care who knows it I'm like a Banty rooster in a big red rooster crowd I'm puny, short and little, but I'm loud
I sang a special solo song in church one Sunday morn And I was plumbin' barest to my skin I hit a high and turned around, and as sure as I was born Two cows and fourteen horses came walkin' in
I'm little, but I'm loud, I'm poor, but I'm proud I'm countrified and I don't care who knows it I'm like a Banty rooster in a big red rooster crowd I'm puny, short and little, but I'm loud I'm puny, short and little, but I'm loud
Everybody's Talkin' Composer(s): Fred Neil Performer(s): Harry Nilsson; and various other artists
Everybody's talking at me I don't hear a word they're saying Only the echoes of my mind
People stopping staring I can't see their faces Only the shadows of their eyes
I'm going where the sun keeps shining Thru' the pouring rain Going where the weather suits my clothes Backing off of the North East wind Sailing on summer breeze And skipping over the ocean like a stone

Well, you're right, I'm left, she's gone You're right, and I'm left all alone Well, you tried to tell me so But how was I to know That she was not the one for me You told me all along You're right, our love was so wrong But now I changed my mind Because she broke the ties that bind And I know that she never cared for me Well, I thought I knew just what she'd do I guess I'm not so smart Oh, you tried to tell me along she'd only break my heart I'm left, you're right, she's gone You're right, and I'm left all alone Well, she's gone I know not where But now I just don't care For now I'm falling for you If you'll forgive me now I'll make it up somehow So happy we will be In a home just for three And I'll soon forget her Now I know Well, I thought I knew just what she'd do I guess I'm not so smart You tried to tell me all along She'd only break my heart Well, you're right, I'm left, she's gone You're right, and I'm left all alone Well, she's gone, I know not where But now I just don't care For now I've fallen for you
Everybody's Somebody's Fool
Composer(s): Howard Greenfield - Jack Keller
Performer(s): Connie Francis - 1960
and multiple other artists
The tears I've cried for you could fill an ocean
But you don't care how many tears I cry
And though you only lead me on and hurt me
I couldn't bring myself to say goodbye
'Cause everybody's somebody's fool
Everybody's somebody's plaything
And there are no exceptions to the rule
Yes, everybody's somebody's fool
I told myself it's best that I forget you
Though I'm a fool, at least I know the score
Yet, darling, I'd be twice as blue without you
It hurts but I come running back for more
'Cause everybody's somebody's fool
Everybody's somebody's plaything
And there are no exceptions to the rule
Yes, everybody's somebody's fool
Someday you'll find the one you really care for
And if her love should prove to be untrue
You'll know how much this heart of mine is breaking
You'll cry for her the way I cried for you
'Cause everybody's somebody's fool
Everybody's somebody's plaything
And there are no exceptions to the rule
Yes, everybody's somebody's fool
Living in a town that's on the brink of being a city Won't satisfy my soul though the women may be pretty My mind is made up I have had enough I'm leaving here today Shops, walls, pavements, streets Is all that I could find From head to foot and toe to eye I looked till I was blind No matter what turns up I'm leaving here This place ain't good enough You might think that I'm being funny Just 'cause I won't spend my money here Well let me tell you I have no objection Except that I can find correction Everywhere I go Jump high in the sky unless you're feeling bitter About walking down an empty street With gutters full of litter My mind is made up I have had enough I'm leaving here today, hey, hey I'm going away You might think that I'm being funny Just 'cause I won't spend my money here Well let me tell you I have no objection Except that I can find correction Everywhere I go jump high in the sky unless you're feeling bitter About walking down an empty street With gutters full of litter My mind is made up I have had enough I'm leaving here today, hey, hey My mind is made up I have had enough I'm leaving right away, hey, hey I'm going away Getting out of this place I know I've said it before But this time I mean it I'm leaving Packing my bags and going away Getting out of this place

Where have the people gone Seems like there's no one hangin' on Look through the window The houses are empty Hey, everybody's out of town Seems like I'm the only one around

Where will I go, who will I have to lie beside me Is it something that's inside me I'm so lonely
Tried so hard each time, each time I just can't make it Feelin' fast vibrations and I just can't take it Living from day to day, chasing the dream I'm, I'm leavin'
La la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la la la

Everybody's On Their Way To Jersey Composer(s): Garfield Kilgour; Harry Akst; Lou Handman
There's a certain little State No one thought was up to date Jokes about it made a lot of fun But folks are getting hunches Going there in bunches A mighty mob has started on the run Tho' small in size that state is wise nobody hesitates It's population soon will be the whole United States
People living there are fine Each one has a friend named "Stein" Anderson had better watch his step The cops are in a fury Each kitchen is a brewery They brew those hops that fill you full of pep From California Massachusetts, people far and near A train they take to join the wake, and gather 'round the 'bier'
Everybody's on their way to Jersey Everybody's going there to stay And it's not the air That they're going over there There is something doing something brewing OH! BOY! buckets of joy Three and a half percent in dear old Jersey Is not the dividends the bankers pay Just hop on a train and tell the man that you want to go where they rush the can For everybody's on their way to Jersey

When you're alone and in a corner Your only mourner is the face that Appears in the nearest mirror You gotta get it going and somehow knowing you You're gonna have it better than you ever had it Everybody needs somebody Everybody's got the right to love
If you could give in for a minute And put your soul in it We could get it on together and forever love it so what's the use of running You know there ain't no fun in running And boy you need somebody, somebody to love you 'Cause everybody needs somebody Everybody's got the right to love
You can have all the things that you desire But without love you just can't survive You need love to warm your heart at night When you're all alone and no comfort's in sight Everybody needs somebody Everybody's got the right to love
