You Got To Me Composer(s): Neil Diamond Performer(s): Neil Diamond; Tonics
Mama told me that some day it would happen But she never said that it would happen like this Papa said, "Look out, some girl'll catch you nappin' Some little girl will get to you with her kiss" You got to me You brought me to may knees Never thought I'd say please, girl You got to my soul You got control You got to me, you got to be mine
Used to slip though every girl's hand like water There never was one who could ever tie me down Straight ahead and steady as Gibraltar 'Til you brought me tumblin' to the ground
You got to me You brought me to may knees Never thought I'd say please, girl You got to my soul You got control You got to me, you got to be mine
The Summer Knows (aka Theme From 'Summer of 42' - 1972) Composer(s): Marilyn Bergman - Alan Bergman - Michel Legrand First release by: Michel Legrand - 1971 Covered by multiple other artists
The summer smiles, the summer knows And unashamed, she sheds her clothes The summer smoothes the restless sky And lovingly she warms the sand on which you lie The summer knows, the summer's wise She sees the doubts within your eyes And so she takes her summer time Tells the moon to wait and the sun to linger Twists the world 'round her summer finger Lets you see the wonder of her arms And if you've learned your lessons well There's little more for her to tell One last caress, it's time to dress for fall
You Got To Lose Composer(s): Earl Hooker Performer(s): Earl Hooker; George Thorogood
You got to lose You can't win all the time You got to lose You can't win all the time Well I know pretty baby I see trouble comin' down the line Well I was out on the streets baby I did not have no money Don't you worry pretty baby I'll be back on my feet soon honey You got to lose You can't win all the time Well I know pretty baby I see trouble comin' down the line You got to lose You can't win all the time You got to lose You can't win all the time Yes I know pretty baby I see trouble comin' down the line Yeah I was out on the streets I did not have no friends I didn't have no money And nothing I could spend You got to lose You can't win all the time Well I know pretty baby I see trouble comin' down the line
Summer Kisses, Winter Tears Composer(s): Fred Wise - Ben Weisman - Jack Lloyd First recording/First release by: Elvis Presley & The Jordanaires - 1960/1961 Covered by: Julee Cruise - 1991
Summer kisses, Winter tears That was what she gave to me Never thought that I'd travel all alone The trail of memories
Happy hours, lonely years But I guess I can't complain For I still recall the Summer sun Through all the Winter rain
The fire of love, the fire of love Can burn from afar And nothing can light the dark of the night Like a falling star Summer kisses, Winter tears Like the stars they fade away Leaving me to spend my lonely nights With dreams of yesterday
The fire of love, the fire of love Can burn from afar And nothing can light the dark of the night Like a falling star Summer kisses, Winter tears Like the stars they fade away Leaving me to spend my lonely nights With dreams of yesterday
Leaving me to spend my lonely nights With dreams of yesterday Summer kisses, Winter tears
You Got The Wrong Man Composer(s): Joe Barnhill; Wayne Perry Performer(s): Tim McGraw
Your eyes say that you've been hurt before And you can't take the heartache anymore You think I'll do what he's done to you Break your trust and be untrue But baby this is me you're talkin' to
You got the wrong man, it's not me A case of mistaken identity I didn't break your heart you see What can I do to make you understand You got the wrong man
I know you think that love will never last And you see your future like the past You don't want to make the same mistake You think that I'm one more to make But baby, I'm not him for goodness sake
You got the wrong man, it's not me A case of mistaken identity I didn't break your heart you see What can I do to make you understand You got the wrong man
You think I'll do what he's done to you Break your trust and be untrue But baby this is me you're talkin' to
You got the wrong man, it's not me A case of mistaken identity I didn't break your heart you see What can I do to make you understand You got the wrong man
Summer Is Over (French Version: L'été Est Fini - 1964) Composer(s): Clive Westlake - Tom Springfield Performer(s): Dusty Springfield - 1964
The evening is gently falling The flowers are slowly fading The boats are all moored to shore Everything tells me that summer is over
The sky is suddenly turning grey Above, the clouds and the rain The leaves are falling And are carried away by the wind Everything tells me that the summer is over
Oh, another star twinkles from afar The moon is weak and pale There is hope no more There's no one there And then it's already autumn
Above, the birds have flown away The love that I had has gone With tears in my eyes I said goodbye to him That's how summer ended
Oh, another star twinkles from afar The moon is weak and pale There is hope no more There's no one there And then it's already autumn
Above, the birds have flown away The love that I had has gone With tears in my eyes I said goodbye to him That's how summer ended That's how summer ended
L'été Est Fini (English Version: Summer Is Over - 1964) Composer(s): Clive Westlake - Tom Springfield - A. Salvet Performer(s): Dusty Springfield - 1964
Le soir qui descend doucement Les fleurs qui se fanent lentement Et tous ces bateaux Qui ne vont plus sur l'eau Tout me dit que l'été est fini
Le ciel qui soudain devient gris Là bas, les nuages et la pluie Les feuilles qui sont mortes Et que le vent emporte Tout me dit que l'été est fini
Oh, plus une étoile au loin me scintille La lune inutile et pâle L'espoir m'abandonne Il n'y a plus personne Puis, déjà c'est l'automne
Là bas, les oiseaux sont partis L'amour que j'avais s'est enfuit Les larmes dans les yeux Je lui ai dit adieu C'est ainsi que l'été a fini
Oh, plus une étoile au loin me scintille La lune inutile et pâle L'espoir m'abandonne Il n'y a plus personne Puis, déjà c'est l'automne
Là bas, les oiseaux sont partis L'amour que j'avais s'est enfuit Les larmes dans les yeux Je lui ai dit adieu C'est ainsi que l'été a fini C'est ainsi que l'été a fini

Summer In The City Composer(s): John Sebastian - Mark Sebastian - Steve Boone First release by: The Lovin' Spoonful - 1966 Covered by multiple other artists
Hot town, summer in the city Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty Been down Isn't it a pity Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city All around, people looking half dead Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
But at night it's a different world Go out and find a girl Come-on come-on and dance all night Despite the heat it'll be alright And babe, don't you know it's a pity That the days can't be like the nights In the summer, In the city, In the summer In the city
Cool town, evening in the city Dressing so sharp and looking so pretty Cool cat, looking for a kitty Gonna look in every corner of the city Till I'm wheezing at a bus stop Running up the stairs, gonna meet you at the rooftop But at night it's a different world Go out and find a girl Come-on come-on and dance all night Despite the heat it'll be alright And Babe, don't you know it's a pity That the days can't be like the nights In the summer, In the city, In the summer In the city
Blue Snowflakes Composer(s): Billy Hayes Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
Blue Snowflakes cover the ground When a blue lover has no sweetheart around And those Blue Snowflakes fall from the skies Like the blue, blue teardrops from my eyes
Sweethearts shopping everywhere, dashing through the snow The gifts all wrapped in bright red ribbons everywhere I go Decorating trees of green for the ones they love But for me I only see Blue Snowflakes from above
Blue Snowflakes cover the ground When a blue lover has no sweetheart around And those Blue Snowflakes falls from the skies Like the blue, blue teardrops from his eyes
I remember her first kiss on an old sleigh ride The white snowflakes looked just like stardust with her by my side It was then she promised me someday we would wed Now those wedding bells will ring for some else instead
Blue Snowflakes follow me round Only blue memories in my heart can be found And those Blue Snowflakes fall from the skies Like the blue, blue teardrops from my eyes Like the blue, blue teardrops from my eyes
You Got Me Composer(s): Booker T. Jones Performer(s): Levon Helm
You got me spinning You got me spinning like a spinning top You got me hoping Hoping this love will never stop
(Refrain) You gave your love to me, and all my dreams Your love is making me believe in me
You got me burning You got me burning like a pile of steam You got me ruuning Got me running like a pile of steam
(Refrain)
You got me knowing Knowing that you in my life I'd spend You got me rolling Rolling like a river around the bend You got me turning Turning around like a spinning top You know you got me knowing Knowing our love would never stop

Every time I look into your lovely eyes
I see a love that money just can't buy
One look from you, I drift away
I pray that you are here to stay
Anything you want, you got it
Anything you need, you got it
Anything at all, you got it
Baby!
Every time I hold you I begin to understand
Everything about you tells me I'm your man
I live my life to be with you
No one can do the things you do
Anything you want, you got it
Anything you need, you got it
Anything at all, you got it
Baby!
Anything you want
Anything you need
Anything at all
I'm glad to give my love to you
I know you feel the way I do

Baby!
Anything you want, you got it
Anything you need, you got it
Anything at all, you got it
Baby
Anything at all
Baby
You got it

Eindelijk is het nu weer zomer holiday Niet meer werken voor een week of twee Enkel dromen van een zomer holiday k Wil d'r uit en ik ga naar de zee En ik neem jou mee We gaan naar waar de zon zal schijnen En naar een zee zo hemelsblauw Daar gaan onze zorgen verdwijnen En ik, ik hou van jou Met zn tweetjes op een zomer holiday Is het mooiste wat er kan bestaan Fijn genieten op een zomer holiday En trek je nergens meer iets van aan Laat de boel maar gaan
We leven enkel voor de liefde We leven enkel voor elkaar We lachen, we dansen, we zingen Twee weken van een jaar Eindelijk is het nu weer zomer holiday Niet meer werken voor een week of twee Enkel dromen van een zomer holiday k Wil der uit en ik ga naar de zee en ik neem jou mee Mmm mmm Mmm mmm Mmm mmm
You Go To My Head Composer(s): Haven Gillespie; J. Fred Coots Performer(s): Teddy Wilson; and various other artists
You go to my head and you linger like a haunting refrain And I find you spinning 'round in my brain Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne You go to my head like a sip of sparkling Burgundy brew And I find the very mention of you Like the kicker in a julep or two
The thrill of the thought that you might give a thought to my plea Cast a spell over me Still I say to myself get a hold of yourself Can't you see that it never can be
You go to my head with a smile that makes my temperature rise Like a summer with a thousand Julys You intoxicate my soul with your eyes Though I'm certain that this heart of mine Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance You go to my head You go to my head
