Suddenly Composer(s): John Farrar - Charles Keith - Leslie Sebastian Performer(s): Cliff Richard
She walks in I'm suddenly a hero I'm taken in my hopes begin to rise Look at me can't you tell I'd be so Thrilled to see the message in your eyes You make it seem I'm so close to my dream And then suddenly it's all there
Suddenly the wheels are in motion And I I'm ready to sail any ocean Suddenly I don't need the answers Cos I I'm ready to take all my chances with you
How can I feel you're all that matters I'd rely on anything you say I'll take care that no illusions shatter If you dare to say what you should say You make it seem I'm so close to my dream And then suddenly it's all there
Suddenly the wheels are in motion And I I'm ready to sail any ocean Suddenly I don't need the answers Cos I I'm ready to take all my chances with you
Why do I feel so alive when you're near There's no way any hurt can get thru' Longing to spend every moment of the day with you
Suddenly the wheels are in motion And I I'm ready to sail any ocean Suddenly I don't need the answers Cos I I'm ready to take all my chances with you

You've known so long that you were wrong But still you had your way You told her lies and alibis And hurt her more each day But now your conscience bothers you You've reached your journey's end You're asking me for sympathy I'm sorry for you my friend
You laughed inside each time she cried You tried to make her blue She tagged along through right and wrong Because she worshipped you You know that you're the one to blame There's no use to pretend Today's the day you start to pay I'm sorry for you my friend
Today as she walked arm in arm At someone else's side It made you stop and realize That time has turned the tide You should have known you'd be alone 'Cause cheaters never win You tried and lost, now pay the cost I'm sorry for you my friend

Covered by multiple other artists
Versions In Other Languages:
1968 - Hou Je Van 'M (Corry Brokken)
1961 - Tu Peux Le Prendre (Dalida)
Maisie: You can have him I don't want him He's not worth fighting for Besides there's plenty more where he came from
I don't want him You can have him I'm giving him the sack And he can go right back where he came from
I could never make him happy He'd be better off with you I'm afraid I never loved him All I ever wanted to do was
Run my fingers thru his curly locks Mend his underwear and darn his socks Fetch his slippers and remove his shoes Wipe his glasses when he read the news Rub his forehead with a gentle touch Mornings after when he's had too much Kiss him gently when he cuddled near Give him babies one for ev'ry year, so you see I don't want him, you can have him You can have him, I don't want him For he's not the man for me
Monique: You can have him I don't want him He's not worth fighting for Besides there's plenty more where he came from
I don't want him You can have him He isn't my concern And he can just return where he came from
I would look a trifle silly Taking him away from you That was never my intention All I ever wanted to do was
Close the window while he soundly slept Raid the icebox where the food is kept Cook a breakfast that would please him most Eggs and coffee and some buttered toast Wake him gently with a breakfast tray After breakfast clear the things away Bring the papers and when they've been read Spend the balance of the day in bed, so you see I don't want him, you can have him You can have him, I don't want him For he's not the man for me
Tu Peux Le Prendre ((Adapted from: You Can Have Him (Mary McCarty & Allyn Ann McLerie) - 1949)) ((Dutch Version: Hou Je Van 'M (Corry Brokken) - 1968)) Composer(s): B. Cook - A. Salvet - L. Morisse Performer(s): Dalida
Tu peux le prendre sans plus attendre Je dois comprendre qu'il ne m'aime plus C'est bien ma faute oui c'est ma faute Si pour une autre je l'ai perdu
Je le soupçonne, je le questionne, je lui pardonne Mais c'est en vain Je dévisage sur son visage je vois l'image De mon déclin
Tu peux le prendre sans plus attendre Je dois comprendre que c'est la vie Tourner la page je l'envisage Après l'orage tout est fini
Mais qu'il comprenne, qu'avec ma peine Dites que je l'aime, rien n'est plus fort S'il veut m'apprendre de sa voix tendre Qu'il faut attendre, j'attends encore
J'ai du te dire mille betises, mille sottises Oublie tout ça Qu'il me comprenne ah qui' m'revienne Et qu'il me prenne entre ses bras
J'ai du te dire mille betises Mille sottises oublie tout ça Qu'il me comprenne ah qu'il revienne Et qu'il me prenne entre ses bras Qu'il me comprenne et qu'il revienne Oh qu'il me prenne entre ses bras
Suddenly Composer(s): Keith Diamond - John Farrar - Billy Ocean Performer(s): Billy Ocean
I used to think that love was just a fairy tale Until that first hello until that first smile But if I had to do it all again I wouldn't change a thing Cause this love is everlasting
Suddenly life has new meaning to me There's beauty up above and things we never take notice of You wake up suddenly you're in love
Girl you're everthing a man could want and more One thousand words are not enough to say what I feel inside Holding hands as we walk along the shore Never felt like this before now you're all I'm living for
Each day I pray this love affair would last forever
There's beauty up above and things you never take notice of You wake and suddenly you're in love
You Can Get It If You Really Want Composer(s): Jimmy Cliff Performer(s): Desmond Dekker; and various other artists
You can get it if you really want You can get it if you really want You can get it if you really want But you must try - try and try - try and try You'll succed at last - mmmm yeah
Persecution you must fear Win or lose the battle, get your share You've got your mind set on a dream You can get it though hard it may seem
You can get it if you really want You can get it if you really want, yeah You can get it if you really want But you must try - try and try - try and try You'll succed at last - don't you know it
Rome was not built in a day Opposition will come your way But the harder the battle, you see Is the sweeter the victory
You can get it if you really want You can get it if you really want You can get it if you really want But you must try - try and try - try and try You'll succed at last
Suddenly Composer(s): Maurice Gibb - Barry Gibb - Robin Gibb Performer(s): Bee Gees
How can you tell by looking at me? How can you tell you like what you see? Suddenly there's a boy in the rain alone Suddenly there's a girl in the rain alone
How can you tell humans are real? How can you tell you like what you feel? Suddenly there's a girl in your heart oh boy Suddenly there's a boy in your heart oh boy Ah....
How can you tell by looking at me? How can you tell you like what you see? Suddenly there's a boy in the rain alone Suddenly there's a girl in the rain alone Ah...
You Can Do Magic Composer(s): Russ Ballard Performer(s): America; Golden Hair; John O'Banion
I never believed in things that I couldn't see I said if I can't feel it then how can it be No, no magic could happen to me And then I saw you
I couldn't believe it, you took my heart I couldn't retrieve it, said to myself What's it all about Now I know there can be no doubt
You can do magic You can have anything that you desire Magic, and you know You're the one who can put out the fire
You know darn well When you cast your spell you will get your way When you hypnotize with your eyes A heart of stone can turn to clay Doo, doo, doo ...
And when the rain is beatin' upon the window pane And when the night it gets so cold, when I can't sleep Again you come to me I hold you tight, the rain disappears Who would believe it With a word you dry my tears
You can do magic You can have anything that you desire Magic, and you know You're the one who can put out the fire
You know darn well When you cast your spell you will get your way When you hypnotize with your eyes A heart of stone can turn to clay Doo, doo, doo ...
And If I wanted to I could never be free I never believed it was true But now it's so clear to me
You can do magic You can have anything that you desire Magic, and you know You're the one who can put out the fire
You know darn well When you cast your spell you will get your way When you hypnotize with your eyes A heart of stone can turn to clay Doo, doo, doo ...
You're the one who can put out the fire You're the one who can put out the fire You're the one who can put out the fire ...

Sucedio En La Barranca Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez Performer(s): Grupo Laberinto and multiple other artists
Voy a cantar un corrido que traigo prendido en el fondo de mi alma es la desgracia de un hombre que fue muy mi amigo y murió en la barranca
Era rival en amores de un hombre muy macho que siempre ganó se disputaban a Rosa la niña más chula de aquella región
Se citaron la noche más negra y al barranco acudieron los dos eran las diez de la noche en la vieja capilla que está en el panteón cuando sonaron dos tiros y un hombre sin vida a barranco cayó
Hoy han pasado dos años y aquel buen amigo ya nadie recuerda hoy adornaron la iglesia se casa Rosita, estamos de fiesta
Sale vestida de blanco más linda que nunca camino al altar mientras yo sé que en la cárcel un hombre muy macho se piensa matar
Yo por eso lecanto a la vida yo por eso no creo en el amor
Eran las diez de la noche en la vieja capilla que está en el panteón cuando en la cárcel del pueblo sonaron dos tiros y un hombre murió
