I'm Making Believe Composer(s): James V. Monaco; Mack Gordon Performer(s): John Lee Hooker and multiple other artists
I'm making believe that you're in my arms though I know you're so far away Making believe I'm talking to you, wish you could hear what I say And here in the gloom of my lonely room we're dancing like we used to do Making believe is just another way of dreaming, so till my dreams come true I'll whisper "Good night", turn out the light, and kiss my pillow Making believe it's you
I'm making believe that you're in my arms though I know you're so far away Making believe I'm talkin' to you, wish you could hear what I say And here in the gloom of my lonely room we're dancing like we used to do Making believe is just another way of dreamin', so till my dreams come true I'll whisper "Good night", turn out the light, and kiss my pillow Making believe it's you
And here in the gloom of my lonely room we're dancing like we used to do
Making believe is just another way of dreamin', so till my dreams come true I'll whisper "Good night", turn out the light, and kiss my pillow
Everyone Gets Crazy Composer(s): Kevin Welch Performer(s): The Highwaymen
Look here is that you I see You sure seem down to me Would you like to tell it to a friend I can help if anyone can You know I understand Everyone gets crazy now and then
Yes i know those empty nights get lonely Sometimes you feel like you're the only one To lose more then he wins Guess these trouble times get scary But that's just ordinary Everyone gets crazy now and then (all together)
And who can say they've never stumbled Never fallen to their knees Your dreams like castles when they crumble Well I know what you mean And I know how hard it can seem
I get crazy just like you Lost and lonely too Like some old flag left flying in the wind Time has taught me this for sure Time itself is the only cure All your blues will turn to gold again Everyone gets crazy now and then
I'm Mad Again Composer(s): John Lee Hooker First release by: John Lee Hooker - 1961 Covered by multiple other artists
I had a friend one time, at least I thought he was my friend For he came to me, said "I ain't got no place to go" I said "take it easy man, you can come home to my house I'll get you a pillow where you can rest your head" Took him home with me, let him in my house Let him drive my Cadillac that I could not afford When I found out he'd been messin' around with my baby

Everyday People Composer(s): Sylvester "Sly Stone" Stewart Performer(s): Sly & The Family Stone; and various other artists
Sometimes I'm right, then I can be wrong My own beliefs are in my songs A butcher, a banker, a drummer and then Makes no difference what group I'm in I am everyday people
Then it's the blue ones who can't accept The green ones for living with The black ones tryin' to be a skinny one Different strokes for different folks And so on and so on and scooby dooby dooby
Ooh sha sha We gotta live together
I am no better and neither are you We're all the same whatever we do You love me, you hate me You know me and then Still can't figure out the scene I'm in I am everyday people
Then it's the new man That doesn't like the short man For being such a rich one That will not help the poor one Different strokes for different folks And so on and so on scooby dooby dooby
Ooh sha sha We got to live together
There is a yellow one that won't Accept the black one That won't accept the red one That won't accept the white one
Different strokes for different folks And so on and so on and Scooby dooby dooby Ooh sha sha I am everyday people

Everyday Boy Composer(s): Joan Armatrading Performer(s): Joan Armatrading
Well I've never met anyone Wiht your courage And the way you enjoy life Puts me to shame Just an hour with you And I understand why We had to meet
I saw you look in the mirror And adjust your hair Smile And leave the room
Just an everyday boy Doing everyday things But you're somebody special Somebody who feels You're not the first And you won't be the last But you are the one I'll remember
It's God's revenge You're surrounded by fear A compassionate man You hold people dear

But you respect yourself And you let it show Some fade with guilt And the shame
The way yo tell your story With no tears for yourself Just and everyday boy Doing everyday things
You're not the first And you won't be the last But you are the one I'll remember
Hey hey Just an everyday boy Just an everyday boy Doing everyday things

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

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 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

If they're lost I want to show them the sunshine If they're tossed I want to throw them a lifeline

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
