Sunday Blues Composer(s): Joe Lutcher Performer(s): Julie London
I ain't gonna get those Sunday blues no more I ain't gonna walk that lonesome, tear-stained floor I never knew much about love 'til you walked into my heart I wasn't happy without love - but at least I wasn't torn apart
On Saturday night you swear you're mine alone Then Sunday arrives, and you don't even phone I know you're gonna come knockin' But I ain't gonna answer the door I ain't gonna get those Sunday blues no more
I know you're gonna come knockin' But I ain't gonna answer the door I ain't gonna get those Sunday blues no more No more
You Never Cry Like A Lover Composer(s): Don Henley; John David Souther Performer(s): The Eagles; The 5th Dimension
You never cry like a lover should sigh when it feels real good or see the sky through the stone and wood You never cry like a lover
I thought I saw somebody I loved sleeping deep inside you If I could catch you in an unguarded moment I'd stay right there beside you
You never smile at me late at night Laugh out loud when we get it right You can't get loose if there's too much light You never smile like a lover
TRY A LITTLE HARDER I can't live with you, baby TRY A LITTLE HARDER Can't live without you TRY A LITTLE HARDER And sometimes I believe in love sometimes I doubt it
But your life goes on like a broken down carousel where somebody left the music on I was hopin' you were the one I was hopin' you were the one I was hopin' you were the one I was hopin' you were the one
You never move like you used to do pour it out when you're feelin' blue Somebody must have put some pain in you you never cry like a lover you never cry like a lover YOU NEVER CRY LIKE A LOVER cry YOU NEVER CRY LIKE A LOVER you never cry CRY LIKE A LOVER come on and cry YOU NEVER CRY LIKE A LOVER cry CRY LIKE A LOVER cry YOU NEVER CRY LIKE A LOVER cry cry CRY LIKE A LOVER you never cry (fade)
Sunday Bloody Sunday Composer(s): Bono - The Edge - Adam Clayton - Larry Mullen First release by: U2 - 1983 Covered by multiple other artists
I can't believe the news today I can't close my eyes and make it go away How long, how long must we sing this song How long, how long
'Cause tonight We can be as one tonight
Broken bottles under children's feet Bodies strewn across the dead-end street But I won't heed the battle call It puts my back up, puts my back up against the wall
And the battle's just begun There's many lost, but tell me who has won The trench is dug within our hearts And mother's children, brothers, sisters torn apart
You Needed Me Composer(s): Randy Goodrum Performer(s): Anne Murray
I cried a tear You wiped it dry I was confused You cleared my mind I sold my soul You bought it back for me And held me up and gave me dignity Somehow you needed me
You gave me strength To stand alone again To face the world Out on my own again You put me high upon a pedestal So high that I could almost see eternity You needed me You needed me
And I can't believe it's you I can't believe it's true I needed you and you were there And I'll never leave, why should I leave I'd be a fool 'Cause I've finally found someone Who really cares
You held my hand When it was cold When I was lost You took me home You gave me hope When I was at the end And turned my lies Back into truth again You even called me friend
You gave me strength To stand alone again To face the world Out on my own again You put me high upon a pedestal So high that I could almost see eternity You needed me You needed me
Sunday And Me Composer(s): Neil Diamond Performer(s): Jay & the Americans
Girls, have you got the kind of man everyone looks up to? Well, if you don't, listen; I'll tell you what to do Get your man, take him by the hand, and come on here to me I'm here to tell you about equal opportunity
There was a time when the world was fickle And it may have been hard to succeed Well, times have changed now And school and training is what you really need It doesn't matter who you may be Everyone's equal with the same opportunity
Things are changing for the better Things are changing for the better Now's the time for you to better yourself
Life's got problems, but you can make it And I'm gonna tell you why Just like the early bird that catches the worm You gotta get up, go out and try Your race or color won't stand in your way Don't wait for tomorrow; today is your day
Things are changing for the better Things are changing for the better Now's the time for you to better yourself
Good jobs are out there, just waiting to be found But they won't come to you, uh uh! You gotta get up and look around!
It doesn't matter who you may be Everyone's equal with the same opportunity
Things are changing for the better Things are changing for the better Now's the time for you to better yourself
You Need Love Like I Do (Don't You?) Composer(s): Barrett Strong; Norman Whitfield Performer(s): Gladys Knight & the Pips; Butanes Soul Revue; The Jackson 5; Tom Jones; Clydie King; Heather Small; The Temptations
Well, well, well, well Seems like it was only yesterday When my mama told me don't fall in love With the first guy that comes your way He was handsome and nice But I took her advice and passed him by Years have passed and don't look Like love's gonna give me a second try Boy the look on your face tells me you understand could it be your love life's like mine Needs a helping hand well, well You need love like I do (don't you)
Boy I can tell by the way You look when I'm looking at you I know it ain't fit and proper for a girl to talk this way But I can't cope with this loneliness Not one more doggone day Everyday has been an uphill climb Keeping my hopes a-float Judging from your silence boy You must be in the same boat ain't it true now You need love like I do (don't you) Boy I can tell by the way you look When I'm looking at you Well, well, well you need love Like I do (don't you)

You Need Hands Composer(s): Roy Irwin Performer(s): Eydie Gorme; Max Bygraves; Chad & Jeremy; The Sex Pistols
You need hands To hold someone you care for You need hands To show that you're sincere When you feel nobody wants to know you You need hands to brush away your tears
When you hold a brand new baby You need tender hands to guide them on their way You need hands to thank the Lord for living and for giving us this day

But after pay day, is my fun day I shine all day Sunday That one day when I'm with you
And then comes Thursday Gee, it's long, it never goes by And Friday makes me feel Like I'm gonna die
But after pay day, is my fun day I shine all day Sunday That one day when I'm with you
That one day It's a fun day Sunday is my day with you

Sure I understand Of course, I'll be fine You had to change your plans Oh well, I'l just change mine But if it turns out bad And if your nights get long And if she makes you sad No need, to be strong

And if you ever change your mind And find you miss those feelings that you left behind We can give it one more try Some magic place in time If you ever change your mind

You must have been a beautiful baby you must have been a wonderful child ... When you were only startin' to go to kindergarten I bet you drove the little boys wild!
An' when it came to winning blue ribbons you must have shown the other kids how ... I can see the judge's eyes as they handed you the prize I bet you made the cutest bow!
Oh!, You must have been a beautiful baby 'cause baby look at you now ...

An' when it came to winning blue ribbons you must have shown the other kids how ... I can see the judge's eyes as they handed you the prize I bet you made the cutest bow!

The Cowboy Rides Away Composer(s): Sonny Throckmorton - Casey Kelly Performer(s): George Strait and multiple other artists
I knew the stakes were high right from the start When she dealt the cards, I dealt my heart Now I just found a game that I can't play And this is where the cowboy rides away
And my heart is sinking like the setting sun Setting on the things I wish I'd done It's time to say goodbye to yesterday This is where the cowboy rides away
We've been in and out of love and in-between And now we play the final showdown scene As the credits roll a sad song starts to play And this is where the cowboy rides away
And my heart is sinking like a setting sun Setting on the things I wish I'd done Oh the last goodbye's the hardest one to say And this is where the cowboy rides away Oh the last goodbye's the hardest one to say This is where the cowboy rides away
You Move Me Composer(s): Cassandra Wilson Performer(s): Cassandra Wilson
Rememberin' moments, so precious and real The thought of you, kissing me there You know my secrets You know the curve and the line One touch, and I know you are mine
Rain falls down on me I can hardly see, for the water in my eyes Love comes down on me I can hardly breathe, for the trembling in my thighs You move me
Rememberin' moments, so precious and real The thought of you, kissing me there You know my secrets You know the curve and the line One touch, and I know you are mine
Rain falls down on me I can hardly see, for the water in my eyes Love comes down on me I can hardly breathe, for the trembling in my thighs You move me
Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is? Composer(s): Robert Lamm Performer(s): Chicago Transit Authority
As I was walking down the street one day A man came up to me and asked me what the time was that was on my watch, yeah And I said Does anybody really know what time it is I don't Does anybody really care care If so I can't imagine why about time We've all got time enough to cry Oh no, no
And I was walking down the street one day A pretty lady looked at me and said her diamond watch had stopped cold dead And I said Does anybody really know what time it is I don't Does anybody really care care If so I can't imagine why about time We've all got time enough to cry Oh no, no
And I was walking down the street one day Being pushed and shoved by people trying to beat the clock, oh, so I just don't know I just don't know And I said, yes I said
People runnin' everywhere Don't know the way to go Don't know where I am Can't see past the next step Don't have to think past the last mile Have no time to look around Just run around, run around and think why
Does anybody really know what time it is I don't Does anybody really care care If so I can't imagine why about time We've all got time enough to die Oh no, no
You Might Think Composer(s): Ric Ocasek Performer(s): The Cars; AC-Rock; Dark One Lite; Fon; The New Cars
You might think I'm crazy To hang around with you Maybe you think I'm lucky To have something to do But I think that you're wild And inside me is some child
Chorus You might think it's foolish Or maybe it's untrue You might think I'm crazy But all I want is you
You might think it's hysterical But I know when you're weak You think you're in the movies And everything's so deep But I think that you're wild When you flash that fragile smile
Chorus
And it's hard so hard to take There's no escape without a scrape You kept it going till the sun fell down You kept it going
You might think I'm delirious The way I run you down But somewhere sometime When you're curious I'll be back around And I think that you're wild And so uniquely styled
Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind Composer(s): Sanger D. Shafer - Darlene Shafer Performer(s): Moe Bandy and multiple other artists
Cold Fort Worth beer just ain't no good for jealous I try it night after night You're in someone else's arms in Dallas Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind
Darling while you're busy burning bridges Burn one for me if you get time Good memories don't fade so easy Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind
You left me here to be with him in Dallas And I know it hurt you at the time I wonder now if it makes a difference Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind
You Mean So Much To Me Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen Performer(s): Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes
Well, she comes to me like a childhood soul Or an old time friend I ain't seen so long When she sings to me, it's like a loving song She can be so sweet, she don't do me no wrong
You mean so much to me, baby You know you drive me crazy You mean so much to me, baby I want you for my girl
Well, sometimes she's like a baby playing with a toy Then she's so much woman she makes me feel like a little boy And when she comes to me, and she's all alone And she cries: Oh daddy, oh Daddy make me strong!
That's when she means so much to me baby You know you drive me crazy You mean so much to me, baby I want you for my girl
