Let's Get Happy Composer(s): Ralph Siegel - Bernd Meinunger First performance by: Lou - 2003
(Doob doo doobn da dap da...) (Doob doo doobn da dap da...) (Doob doo doobn da dap da...) Whoah...
Last night in the discotheque All my friends seemed to look and wait Just lookin' for trouble 'Cause everything's drivin' 'em mad (Yeah, drivin' 'em mad)
No fun, not a smilin' face And down at heart in so many ways Hey, baby, what's on? And why's everyone so sad?
Let's get happy and let's be friends For tomorrow never, never ends And our world will be all new Let's get happy and let's be gay All our troubles, they will fade away And the promise I will send you Hits you on a brand new day
(Doob doo doobn da dap da...) Yeah, yeah (On that day, everything will be okay)
See the girl with the high heel shoes I wanna know why she's got the blues Don't ya stop a-rockin' And get the ball a-rollin' tonight (Yeah, get the ball a-rollin' tonight)
Everyone's kinda cool and stressed Gotta move, or you'll miss the best Whatever you do now You just gotta do it right
Let's get happy and let's be friends For tomorrow never, never ends And our world will be all new Let's get happy and let's be gay All our troubles, they will fade away And the promise I will send you Hits you on a brand new day
(Doob doo doobn da dap da...) On a brand new day (Doob doo doobn da dap da...) We will be on our way (Doob doo doobn da dap da...) And we'll have lots of fun together (That's right)
Let's get happy and let's be friends For tomorrow never, never ends And our world will be all new Let's get happy and let's be gay All our troubles, they will fade away And the promise I will send you Hits you on a brand new day
(Let's stop feelin' sad and down) (Let's just take off from the ground) Whoah... let's get happy
Healing Time Composer(s): Michael Allen; Gordon Chambers; Darryl McClary Performer(s): Stephanie Mills
I don't wanna go But I can't stay So I'm making up the bed where we used to lay Take my pictures from the frame And don't call my name And don't come around It's such a shame But time heals all pain And I'll be ok I love you from afar And you'll do the same
(You go your way and i'll go mine) (It's healing time) It'll be bad for you, but good for me The healing time Now the hardest thing is knowing that we will never be But I'd rather say goodbye than live a lie It' s healing time
Trying to be friends sometimes don't work The closer we get, the more it hurts So just give back my gifts And please don't say please And don't, don't, don't play that song The one called 'on bended knees' Just say goodbye Don't let me see you cry Maybe we'll meet again under some other sky
(You go your way and I'll go mine) (It's healing time) (It'll be bad for you, but good for me) (The healing time) The healing time (Now the hardest thing is knowing that we will never be) (But I'd rather say goodbye than live a lie) (It' s healing time, healing time)
Don't look for no words There's nothing to say You can't change my mind 'Cause there ain't no way Please no last kiss, I gave one last try We can't be friends, Lord knows we've tried
(You go your way and i'll go mine) (It's healing time) (It'll be bad for you, but good for me) (The healing time) It's healing time (Now the hardest thing is knowing that we will never be) Never, ever, ever, ever be (But I'd rather say goodbye than live a lie) (It' s healing time, healing time) No-woh (You go your way and i'll go mine) Go your way (It's healing time) And I'll go mine (It'll be bad for you, but good for me) Bad for you (The healing time) (Now the hardest thing is knowing that we will never be) Will never, ever be (But I'd rather say goodbye than live a lie) It' s healing time, healing time
Go your way, I'll go mine Never be, never be, never be, no, no more, babe Bye-bye, baby, bye- bye, bye-bye, bye-bye I've got to go Think I held on too long.........
Spoonful Composer(s): Willie Dixon First release by: Howlin' Wolf - 1960 Covered by multiple other artists
Could fill spoons full of diamonds Could fill spoons full of gold Just a little spoon of your precious love Will satisfy my soul
Men lies about it Some of them cries about it Some of them dies about it Everything's a-fighting about the spoonful That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
Could fill spoons full of coffee Could fill spoons full of tea Just a little spoon of your precious love Is that enough for me?
Men lies about it Some of them cries about it Some of them dies about it Everything's a-fighting about the spoonful That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
Could fill spoons full of water Save them from the desert sands But a little spoon of your forty-five Saved you from another man
Men lies about it Some of them cries about it Some of them dies about it Everything's a-fighting about the spoonful That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful

I'm feeling alive when you're looking at me (I'm feeling alive) I'm feeling alive when you stand close to me I'm feeling alive when you call out my name (I'm feeling... I'm feeling alive) So please tell me, baby, that you feel the same
I'm feeling alive when you're looking at me (I feel so alive) I'm feeling alive when you stand close to me I'm feeling alive when you call out my name (You call out my name) So please tell me, baby, that you feel the same
Headlines Composer(s): Alice Cooper; Davey Johnstone; Fred Mandel Performer(s): Alice Cooper
Do a show Save a child Raise a million bucks That'll last a while Fight at parties Buy a horse Lose a couple Win that big divorce I wanna be in the headlines Anything to be in the headlines
Saw my chance Made my break Took the biggest float In the Rose parade Got jailed No disgrace A hundred million people Saw my face
Called a conference With the press Announced my marriage plans In a wedding dress Climb a building At six-below On New Year's Eve Without a stitch of clothes
I wanna be in the headlines Anything to be in the headlines As long as they spell my name right I hope that they catch my best side
Popped out From a cake At the President's ball What a big mistake Fifty guns Aimed at me I was nearly killed But what publicity Nominated Something big Stole the hottest scene Says the Globe And Trib Porno movie Comes to light But I was starving then So that's alright
I wanna be in the headlines Anything to be in the headlines
As long as the spell my name right Hope that they catch my best side Keep my sidewalk status star bright Feel free to walk on me tonight Just don't spit on me
Spooky (Finnish Version: Outo Tapa - 1984) Composer(s): Harry Middlebrooks - Mike Shapiro - Buddy Buie - James Cobb First release by: Mike Sharpe - 1966 Covered by multiple other artists
In the cool of the evening when ev'rything is gettin' kind of groovy I call you up and ask you if you want to go and meet and see a movie First you say no, you've got some plans for the night And then you stop, and say, "All right" Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you
You always keep me guessin', I never seem to know what you are thinkin' And if a fella looks at you, it's for sure your little eye will be a-winkin' I get confused, 'cause I don't know where I stand And then you smile, and hold my hand Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you Spooky!
If you decide someday to stop this little game that you are playin' I'm gonna tell you all what my heart's been a-dyin' to be sayin' Just like a ghost, you've been a-hauntin' my dreams So I'll propose... on Halloween Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you
Headaches Composer(s): Hoffman; Klenner Performer(s): Allan Sherman
Headaches, headaches Aspirin commercials give me headaches Just when I'm feeling chipper as you please That's when they show me all my sinus cavities Headaches, headaches Those sponsors don't care how my head aches See that announcer, he looks so fine His head should ache like mine Headaches, headaches Those pounding hammers give me headaches They say it once and then they say again Oh tension, pressure, pain, oh tension pressure pain Headaches, headaches Those sponsors love it when my head aches Mother, don't hand me those pills from the shelf I'd rather do it myself (Mommy, can't you keep Daddy's car out of the driveway?!) Headaches, headaches Those sponsors love it when my head aches There is one remedy that's unsurpassed And their commercials give me headaches "fast fast fast" Headaches, headaches Aspirin commercials give me headaches Today I swallowed the best cure yet I ate my TV set
Head Over Heels Composer(s): Roland Orzabal; Curt Smith Performer(s): Tears For Fears
I wanted to be with you alone And talk about the weather But traditions I can trace against the child in your face Won't escape my attention You keep your distance via the system of touch And gentle persuasion I'm lost in admiration could I need you this much Oh you're wasting my time You're just wasting time
Something happens and I'm head over heels I never find out until I'm head over heels Something happens and I'm head over heels Ah don't take my heart Don't break my heart Don't throw it away
I made a fire and watching it burn Thought of your future With one foot in the past now just how long will it last No no no have you no ambition My mother and my brothers used to breathing clean air And dreaming I'm a doctor It's hard to be man when there's a gun in your hand Oh I feel so...
Something happens and I'm head over heels I never find out until I'm head over heels Something happens and I'm head over heels Ah don't take my heart Don't break my heart Don't throw it away
And it's my four leaf clover I'm on the line, one open mind This is my four leaf clover

Head games, that's all I get from you Head games, and I can't take it anymore Head games, don't wanna play the... Head games
So near, so far away We pass each other by 'cause we don't know what to say It's so clear, I'm sorry to say But if you wanna win you gotta learn how to play

Head games, in the first degree Head games, yeah, always you and me Head games, why do you do it baby? Head games

He (She) Thinks I Still Care Composer(s): Steve Duffy; Dickey Lee Lipscomb Performer(s): Pattty Loveless; and various other artists
Just because I ask a friend about him Just because I spoke his name somewhere Just because I rang his number by mistake He thinks I still care
Just because I hog the same old places With the memory of him lingers everywhere Just because I'm not the happy girl I used to be He thinks I still care
But if he's happy thinkin' I still need him Then let that silly notion bring him cheer But how could he ever be so foolish Oh where did he get such an idea
Just because I ask a friend about him Just because I spoke his name somewhere Just because I saw him, then went all to pieces He thinks I still care He thinks I still care
