A Girl Who'll Satisfy Her Man Composer(s): Jerry Crutchfield Performer(s): Barbara Fairchild; Dee Dee Warwick
I know your heart is aching, mine is too I know exactly what you're goin' through So helplessly I've had to just stand by And watch her hurt you so much I could die
So maybe now I'll have the chance to try To kiss away your tears and help them dry Please accept my love and take the hand Of a girl who'll always satisfy her man
Inside my arms it's nice and warm always for you And I know I'll make you understand There'll be no doubt, you'll never be without a love so true From a girl who'll always satisfy her man
So come to me, I'll hold you tenderly You'll be in the hands Of a girl who'll always satisfy her man
You're Looking At Me Composer(s): Bobby Troup Performer(s): Nat King Cole; and various other artists
Who had the girls turning hand-springs Crazy to love him, claimed he Who could so misunderstand things You're lookin' at me
Who was so sure of his conquest Sure as a human could be Who wound up losing the contest You're lookin' at me, you're looking at me
Where is that boy Who was certain his charms couldn't fail Where is that boy Who believed every word of this ridiculous tail
Who was so childishly flattered Thought he'd swept her off her feet Who woke to find his dream shattered Might I repea-eat, might I repeat For-or you needn't strain your eyes To see what I want you to see That's right, you're looking at me
Where is that boy Who was certain his charms couldn't fail Where is that boy Who believed every word of this ridiculous tail
Who was so childishly flattered Thought he'd swept her off her feet Who woke to find his dream shattered Might I repeat, might I repeat For-or you needn't strain your eyes To see what I want you to see That's right, you're looking at me-ee...
You're Laughing At Me Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Fats Waller; and various other artists
I love you, which is easy to see But I have to keep guessing how you feel about me You listen to the words that I speak But I feel that you listen with your tongue in your cheek
You're laughing at me I can't get sentimental For you're laughing at me, I know
I want to be romantic But I haven't a chance You've got a sense of humour And humour is death to romance
You're laughing at me Why do you think it's funny When I say that I love you so
You've got me worried And I'm all at sea For while I'm crying for you You're laughing at me
A Girl Named Mary And A Boy Named Bill Composer(s): Mack David - Jerry Livingston Performer(s): Dean Martin; Polly Bergen
The world looks rosy op on sweetheart hill For a girl named Mary and a boy named Bill
Com'on get cozy says the whooperwill To a girl named Mary and a boy named Bill
Where there's a sky that's full of moonlight And a Mary full of charm There ought to be a William Snuggled in her arms
So if I kiss you and I think I will Believe me it's the only thing to do For you're my Mary and I'm your Bill And it's wonderful to be in love with you
For you're my Mary and I'm your Bill And it's wonderful to be in love with you
You're Kind Composer(s): Paul Simon Performer(s): Paul Simon; Silje Nergaard
You're kind You're so kind You rescued me when I was blind And you put me on your pillow When I was on the wall You're kind, so kind, so kind
And you're good You're so good You introduced me to your neighborhood Seems like I ain't never had so many friends before That's because you're good You're so good Why you don't treat me like the other humans do Is just a mystery to me It gets me agitated when I think that You're gonna love me now indefinitely
So goodbye, goodbye I'm gonna leave you now And here's the reason why
I like to sleep with the window open And you keep the window closed So goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh doot doot doot doot doot oh, oh, doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

A Girl I Knew Composer(s): John Kay - Morgan Cavett Performer(s): Steppenwolf
She used to dance when she had the chance and the time it didn't matter At the end of her night was an endless flight While her head, it was lost in the laughter
A girl I knew Someone I used to talk to When we'd meet in the middle of a room A girl I knew Her world a shade of blue Someone I used to talk to
She used to sing in the night while her ring It would sparkle like burgundy wine And the people stopped and starred but pretend she's not there
She used to dance when she had the chance and the time it didn't matter At the end of her night was an endless flight While her head, it was lost in the laughter
You're Just A Flower From An Old Bouquet Composer(s): Gwynn Denni; Lucien Denni Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters; Carmen Cavallaro; Josef Locke; Ruby Wright
I've hunted all over To find myself a mate Each girl seemed such a disappointment It was just a trick of fate I found then a blossom A girl of long ago See if you can guess dear This girl that I love so
You're just a flower from an old bouquet I've waited patiently for you, each day You're just a dream come true, I know, dear My dream, wonderful dreams of you I'll build a home-nest full of love for you Far from the world away There in our sweetheart bower You're just my flower From an old Bouquet
I've prayed that my dreams someday would all come true And now at last my prayer is answered For sweetheart, I've found you And no other blossom Will ever share a part With my flower here In the garden of my heart
You're just a flower from an old bouquet I've waited patiently for you, each day You're just a dream come true, I know, dear My dream, wonderful dreams of you I'll build a home-nest full of love for you Far from the world away There in our sweetheart bower You're just my flower From an old Bouquet
You're In The Doghouse Now Composer(s): Ned Claflin; Mike Kernan; Jeff Lass; Andy Paley Performer(s): Brenda Lee
You wore out your welcome mat You used to be the cat's meow You're in the doghouse now You're such a handsome hound You'll wind up in the pound All you can say is bow-wow-wow You're in the doghouse now It was grand yes, it was swell But you bit the hand That fed you so well I hate a dog who begs With his tail between his legs Find a new place to bum your chow Who's in the doghouse now? On the town Out on the trail Don't come 'round Go chase your own tail I heard from Socrates "Sleep with dog Wake up with fleas" I never liked you anyhow You're in the doghouse now You're in the doghouse now You're in the doghouse now Down, boy
A Giant Step From "Bye Bye Birdie" Composer(s): Charles Strouse - Lee Adams
I took a giant step! I'm mighty proud of me Today, I am the man I had to be Those apron strings at last are cut It's like I grew some wings And flew out of my Oedipal rut I leaped a giant leap! I made the winning play It ain't July, but hey It's Independence Day! No more 'Sonny Boy' It's 'Mister Albert P.' I took a giant step A self reliant step A brave defiant step and I'm free! I climbed a giant peak A daring thing to do I'm way up high, oh Rosie What a view! I see the future and it's bright It's no more 'Mama anything you say' From morning till night I took a giant step! A wimpy kid no more You never saw a turnaround like this before It's just one small step for mankind But for me It was a forceful step, a most resourceful step A bold and brassy step A sassy, classy step A self reliant step A brave defiant step I took a giant step And I'm free
You're In My Heart Composer(s): Rod Stewart Performer(s): Rod Stewart; and various other artists
I didn't know what day it was
when you walked into the room I said 'hello' unnoticed; you said goodbye too soon Breezin' thr' the clientele, spinnin yarns that were so lyrical I really must confess right here, that the attraction was purely physical I took all those habits of yours, which in the beginning were hard to accept Your fashion sense for Beardsley prints, I put down to experience The redheaded lasy with a dutch accent who tried to change my point of view Her ad lib lines were well rehearsed, but my heart poured out for you
You're in my heart, you're in my soul You'll be my breath should I grow old You are my lover, you're my best friend You're in my soul
My love for your is immeasurable, my respect for you: immense You're ageless, timeless, lace and fineness, you're beauty and elegance You're rhapsody, a comedy, you're a symphony and a play You're every love song ever written, but honey what do you see in me?
You're in my heart, you're in my soul You'll be my breath should I grow old You are my lover, you're my best friend You're in my soul
You're an essay in glamour Please pardon the grammar but you're every schoolboy's dream You're Celtic united, but baby I've decided you're the best team I've ever seen And there have been many a day, many times I thought to leave But I bite my lip and turn around 'Cause you're the warmest thing I ever found
You're in my heart, you're in my soul You'll be my breath should I grow old You are my lover, you're my best friend You're in my soul
You're in my heart, you're in my soul You'll be my breath should I grow old You are my lover, you're my best friend You're in my soul
(You're) Having My Baby Composer(s): Paul Anka Performer(s): Paul Anka; Ray Conniff
Having my baby what a lovely way of saying how much you love me Having my baby what a lovely way of saying what you're thinking of me I can see it Your face is glowing I can see it in your eyes I'm happy in knowing...
That your having my baby you're the woman I love and I love what it's doing to you Having my baby you're a woman in love and I love what's going through you The need inside you I see it showing Oh, the seed inside you baby do you feel it growing Are you happy in knowing...
That you're having my baby I'm a woman in love and I love what it's doing to me Having my baby I'm a woman in love and I love what's going through me Didn't have to keep it Wouldn't put you through it You could have swept it from your life but you wouldn't do it No, you wouldn't do it...
And you're having my baby I'm a woman in love and I love what it's doing to me Having my baby I'm a woman in love and I love what's going through me
You're Gonna Miss Me Composer(s): Eddie Curtis Performer(s): Connie Francis
One kiss, one little sigh That's all you gave me when you said goodbye But someday baby, someday darlin' You're gonna miss me
Uum-uum-uum
Long gone is your caress And with it, all my happiness But someday baby, someday darlin' You're gonna miss me
Oh-oh-oh, yes
One of these nights you'll wake up cryin' But I won't be there to comfort you You'll turn on the lights, but you'll go on cryin' 'Cause only my true love can chase away your blues
Oh-oh, yes, you're gonna learn I'm not the only one whose heart will burn 'Cause someday baby, someday darlin' You're gonna miss me Miss me, miss me, miss me Someday baby, someday darlin' You're gonna miss me Oh-oh-oh-h, yes
A Gal In Calico Composer(s): Leo Robin - Arthur Schwartz First performance by: Dennis Morgan, Jack Carson, Sally Sweetland - 1946 Covered by multiple other artists
I met a gal in Calico down in Santa Fe Used to be her Sunday beau 'Til I rode away Do I want her Do I want her love Yes-sir-ree Will I win her Will I win her love Wait and see
Workin' with the rodeo Go from town to town See most every kind of gal Every kind they got But who makes my heart sing Yip-ee-aye, Yip-ee-o My little gal in Calico
(You can have your gal Dressed in silk and satin Tose who dress to shape And crepe to shiek Take your pretty gal To go around Manhattan Thinking they look well in velveteen When they're at the table We're not able To imagine how they look)
I'm just a country boy And my country boy Knows a fancy cover Doesn't make a fancy book
(No, the fancy cover Doesn't make the book)
I'll take my gal in Calico (Calico) Down in Santa Fe (Santa Fe, Santa Fe) I guess I better let her know That I feel this way
Is she waitin' Is she waitin' She better be Am I hopin' To be ropin' her Yes-sir-ree
Gonna quit the rodeo (Rodeo) Gonna settle down Buy a bow in Calico For a wedding gown Then will I fetch her in Yip-ee-aye, Yip-ee-o My little gal in Calico (Yip-ee-aye, Yip-ee-o) (Little gal, Calico)
You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go Composer(s): Bob Dylan Performer(s): Bob Dylan; and various other artists
I've seen love go by my door It's never been this close before Never been so easy or so slow Been shooting in the dark too long When somethin's not right it's wrong Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go
Dragon clouds so high above I've only known careless love It's always hit me from below. This time around it's more correct Right on target, so direct Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go
Purple clover, Queen Anne lace Crimson hair across your face You could make me cry if you don't know Can't remember what I was thinkin' of You might be spoilin' me too much, love Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go
Flowers on the hillside, bloomin' crazy Crickets talkin' back and forth in rhyme Blue river runnin' slow and lazy I could stay with you forever And never realize the time
Situations have ended sad Relationships have all been bad Mine've been like Verlaine's and Rimbaud But there's no way I can compare All those scenes to this affair Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go
Yer gonna make me wonder what I'm doin' Stayin' far behind without you Yer gonna make me wonder what I'm sayin' Yer gonna make me give myself a good talkin' to
I'll look for you in old Honolulu San Francisco, Ashtabula Yer gonna have to leave me now, I know But I'll see you in the sky above In the tall grass, in the ones I love Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go
