A Woman Loves A Man Composer(s): Dan Hartman - Charlie Midnight Performer(s): Joe Cocker
Sometimes love can't explain Each and every rule of the game Still remains a mystery to me By any other name
Why she can't make up her mind While he decides to stay While one surrenders And the other one's away But it's too much to understand Still a man loves a woman; and
When a woman loves a man A woman loves a man She does what she can do He does the best he can
When a woman loves a man A woman loves a man She does what she can do He does the best he can
And I look into her eyes When the world is out of hand And I'm so happy
When a woman loves a man When a woman loves a man A woman loves a man..... A woman loves a man
No moon tonight No nothing to guide me Still I will find her Standing beside me
No moon tonight There's nothing to guide me But still I will find her Standing beside me
There's darkness everywhere Still I'll find her Standing beside me Standing beside me
She's a woman of strength He's a man of conviction But sometimes the truth Is stronger than fiction
When a woman loves a man A woman loves a man She does what she can do He does the best he can
When a woman loves a man When that woman loves a man She does what she can do He does the best he can
No moon tonight No nothing to guide me Still I will find her Standing beside me
No moon tonight No nothing to guide me Still I will find her Standing beside me
No moon tonight Nothing to guide me Still I will find her Standing beside me
When a woman loves a man A woman loves a man She does what she can do But I do all I can...
Water Of Love Composer(s): Mark Knopfler Performer(s): Dire Straits; and various other artists
High and dry in the long hot day Lost and lonely in every way Got the flats all around me sky up above I need a little water of love
I've been too long lonely and my heart feels pain Crying out for some soothing rain I believe I have taken enough I need a little water of love
Water of love deep in the ground No water here to be found Some day baby when the river runs free It'll carry that water of love to me
There's a bird up in a tree sitting up high Waiting for me to die If I don't get some water soon I'll be dead and gone in the afternoon
Once I had a woman I could call my own Once I had a woman now my woman is gone Once there was a river now there's a stone You know it's evil when you're living alone
A Woman Is A Sometime Thing Composer(s): Ira Gershwin - DuBose Heyward - George Gershwin First performance: Eddie Matthews - 1935 Covered by multiple other artists
Listen to yo daddy warn you Fore you start a-traveling Woman may born you, love you and mourn you But a woman is a sometime thing Yes a woman is a sometime thing
Yo mammy is the first to name you Then shell tie you to her apron string Then shell shame you and shell blame you Till yo woman comes to claim you Cause a woman is a sometime thing Yes a woman is a sometime thing
Dont you never let a woman grieve you Jus cause she got yo weddin ring Shell love you and deceive you Then shell take yo clothes and leave you cause a woman is a sometime thing Yes a woman is a sometime thing
Water Lou Composer(s): Del Porter Performer(s): Spike Jones
Drip! Drip! Drip! (Achoo)
Water Lou, she lives up the river Water Lou, she makes my heart quiver A pearl diver's daughter And she's nuts about the water Water Lou, drip, drip, drip
Water Lou, she swims all the channels Water Lou, she swims in red flannels She dives like an otter Takes to water like a blotter Water Lou, drip, drip, drip
I paddle up to see her every Sunday mornin' In my old canoe And when I paddle home again on Sunday evenin' I know I've met my Waterloo
Water Lou, she lives with the fishes Water Lou, her kiss is delicious I love her with passion But she's always busy splashin' Waterloo, drip, drip, drip
I paddle up to see her every Sunday mornin' In my old canoe And when I paddle back again on Sunday evenin' I know I've met my Waterloo
Oh Water Lou, she drinks only water Water Lou, that other stuff got `er Her knees started saggin' Now she's on the water wagon Water Lou, drip, drip, drip
A Woman In Love Composer(s): Frank Loesser Performer(s): The Four Aces
Your eyes are the eyes of a woman in love And oh, how they give you away Why try to deny you're a woman in love When I know very well what I say I say no moon in the sky Ever lent such a glow some flame deep within made them shine Those eyes are the eyes of a woman in love And may they gaze ever more into mine Crazily gaze ever more into mine
Fooling the horizon By learning how to dance Outside every circle 'Cause it's your life Learn to take a chance Ah-ah Squeezing water from a stone Ah-ah Any path can lead you home Ah-ah Any bridge can get you high Ah-ah All my love will keep you dry Squeezing water from a stone Making love at midnight With tears as large as rain Hiding under covers Lonely as the cold Staring down your main
Woman In Love Composer(s): Graham Gouldman - Eric Stewart Performer(s): 10 cc
I don't know why it's the way of the world (I don't know why it's the way of the world) But meanwhile, meanwhile, meanwhile, meanwhile
You've seen her sway when she walks down the street Look at her eyes, see the glow in her cheeks It ain't no secret, she can't hide it away There's someone special, she's the dish of the day She's a woman in love She's a woman in her prime (She's a woman in love) Look at her face it's a picture She's a woman in love She's a woman
This chemistry, you'll never find in a book No ectochrome's gonna capture this look These mixed emo's make your senses to real You've got to be there to feel what she feels She's a woman in love She's a woman in her prime (She's a woman in love) Look at her face it's a picture She's a woman in love She's a woman
Why should a woman in all innocence be the one to inspire looks that kill? I don't know I don't know why it's the way of the world Some will win, some will lose but she can't tell
This kind of beauty comes from within Shouldn't be allowed, yeah it's really a sin You'd sell your soul for a night in her bed You're far too late boy, I've already said She's a woman in love She's a woman in her prime (She's a woman in love) Look at her face it's a picture She's a woman in love She's a woman Shes a woman in love Look at her face it's a picture She's a woman in love She's a woman Shes a woman in love Look at her face it's a picture She's a woman in love This one is mine
Water Boy (Traditional) Performer(s): Paul Robeson; and various other artists
Water boy, where are you hiding If you don't come right here Gonna tell you pa on you There ain't no hammer That's on a this mountain That ring like mine boy That ring like mine
I'm gonna bust this rock boy From here to the Macon All the way to the jail boy All the way to the jail
You Jack o diamond Jack o diamond Know you of old boy I know you're of old You rob-a my pocket Rob my pocket Silver and gold boy Of silver and gold There ain't no sweat boy That's on a this mountain That run like mine boy That run like mine
Water Composer(s): Lynsey de Paul Performer(s): Lynsey de Paul
Water falling off of my back And I don't recall it there Water from the zodiac Mixing fire earth and air
It doesn't matter what sign you are Just as long as you can be free Sticks and stones may break my bones And harsh words come between us I can keep my head up While you're drowning in your...
Water falling off of my back And I don't recall it there Water from the zodiac Mixing fire earth and air
I took myself down to a gypsy queen I took a look into her crystal ball Time and tide may wait for no-one But I'm in no hurry One, two, three and you and me And everyone that you can see is...
Water falling off of my back And I don't recall it there Water from the zodiac Mixing fire earth and air
A Woman Has Wrecked Many A Good Man Composer(s): Carrie Rodgers - Ernest Tubb Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
Did you ever wakeup on a Sunday morn With the blues all around your bed I bet you have, yes and I have too Lord youd have an achin head
Your friends would come around and give advice And then youd have to stall But if your bottle was insight Lord they wouldnt leave you none at all Do you hear me Brother? They wouldnt leave you none at all
Ill tell you brother and I wont lie Whats the matter in this land Theres too many women just like old Eve Theyll fool you if they can
Theyll make you love them and then break your heart Mess up all of your plans A Woman Lord has ruined many a good man I said it brother Lord has ruined many a good man
Now mister bartender dont be so slow Cause I need another drink And after all this is my dough And you aint getting paid to think
So wipe that frown from off your face And please try to understand That a Woman Lord has ruined many a good man I said it brother Lord has ruined many a good man
So as you travel though this life What ever be your goal This old world is full of grief and strife And all that glitters sure aint gold
So if youve got a loving gal Brother, keep her if you can But a Woman Lord has ruined many a good man Im glad I said it Lord has ruined many a good man
Watching The Wildlife Composer(s): Peter Gill; Holly Johnson; Brian Nash; Mark O'Toole Performer(s): Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Watching the wildlife On my way home, the state of rome People gliding on the floor Pleased with life not needing more Sunset on the river People go home in the rain Familiar faces on the train Running scared, and staying sane
If you live by the sword Well thats your own reward So dont walk with me Watching the wildlife The beast within you Eats your heart out Get free from hate and get in love
Boys in the backyard The girls are hanging out the lines Washing the day, wash your troubles away Its game we have to play Ghosts are chasing you round Things that happened in the past Dont make that mistake again The sun beats down the streets of passion
If you live by the sword Well thats your own reward So dont talk with me Watching the wildlife The beast within you Eats your heart out Get free from hate and get in love
Your own worst enemy Get free from hate and get in love
If you live by the sword Watching the wildlife Watching you The beast within you too Watching the wildlife
Get in love, get in love
Watching the wildlife We all live in a dream in home We watch tv and drive a car We go outside, but not too far Watching the wildlife We walk the water like a sun Living cuts you like a knife Living here watching the wildlife
A Woman Can Change A Man Composer(s): Frank Farian - Fred Jay Performer(s): Boney M.
A woman can change a man If she loves him, the way that I'm in love with you I know it, I know that I can If it's the last thing, the last thing I'd ever do
So you may still feel the same old yearning Believe me the flame will soon stop burning
A woman can change a man If she stays with him whatever maybe in store for her So just put, your trust in me I'll never hurt you baby, I'll never desert you babe
It feels so good just to be near you To feel your lips, to see and hear you Ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...
I'll be forever your shadow, walking next to you Caring for you, is what I won't do for you baby A woman can change a man Make him want her, and make him wanna be with her Oh baby I've no secret plans I just hope in my heart, someday you'll be free of her
So you may still feel the same old yearning Believe me the flame will soon stop burning
Watching The Wheels Composer(s): John Lennon Performer(s): John Lennon; and various other artists
People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin When I say that I'm o.k. they look at me kind of strange Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game
People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball?
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round I really love to watch them roll No longer riding on the merry-go-round I just had to let it go
People asking questions lost in confusion Well I tell them there's no problem, only solutions Well they shake their heads and look at me as if I've lost my mind I tell them there's no hurry... I'm just sitting here doing time
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round I really love to watch them roll No longer riding on the merry-go-round I just had to let it go
A Winter Romance Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - Ken Lane Performer(s): Dean Martin; Beegie Adair
I never will forget the station where we met You dropped your skis....a happy circumstance No one would have guessed we had started Started a winter romance
And all the way to Maine, on that enchanted train The passing scenery didn't get a glance We held hands, completely light hearted Off to a winter romance
We danced that night, by candle light The world was white with snow The way we felt, we never felt The snow could melt and go
But though the snow is gone, the romance lingers on And those that said it didn't stand a chance Will know when they see us together That love's not been controlled by the weather
And all of our summers, we'll have our winter romance (Though the snow is gone the romance lingers on) (And those that said it didn't stand a chance) Will know when they see us together That love's not been controlled by the weather And all of our summers, we'll have our winter romance
Watching The River Run Composer(s): Kenny Loggins; Jim Messina Performer(s): Loggins & Messina
If you've been thinking you're all that you've got Then don't feel alone anymore When we're together, then you've got a lot 'Cause I am the river and you are the shore
And it goes on and on, oh, watching the river run Further and further from things that we've done Leaving them one by one And we have just begun watching the river run Listening, learning and yearning to Run, river, run
Winding and swirling and dancing along We pass by the old willow tree Where lovers caress as we sing of our song Twisting together when we greet the sea
And it goes on and on, watching the river run Further and further from things that we've done Leaving them one by one And we have just begun watching the river run Listening, learning and yearning to Run, river, run
And it goes on and on, watching the river run Further and further from things that we've done Leaving them one by one And we have just begun watching the river run Listening, learning and yearning to Run, river, run

Watching The River Flow Composer(s): Bob Dylan Performer(s): Bob Dylan
What's the matter with me? I don't have much to say Daylight's sneaking' through the window And I'm still in this all night cafe Walking to and fro beneath the moon Out to where the trucks are rolling slow Sit out on this bank of sand and watch the river flow
Wish I was back in the city instead of this old bank of sand With the sun beatin' down over the chimney tops And the one I love so close at hand If I had wings and I could fly, I know where I would go But right now I just sit here so contentedly And watch the river flow
People disagreein' on just about everything, yeah Makes you stop and wonder why Why only yesterday I saw someone on the street Who just couldn't help but cry
Chorus Oh, but this old river keeps on rollin' though No matter what gets in the way and which was the wind does blow And as long as it does I just sit here And watch the river flow
People disagreein' everywhere you look Makes you want to stop and read a book Why only yesterday I saw somebody on the street That was really shook
[Chorus]
Watch the river flow, watching the river flow Watching the river flow Well, I just sit out on this bank of sand And watch the river flow
A Wilderness Composer(s): Laura Nyro Performer(s): Laura Nyro
Cinnamon hills Sweet child And waves of whisper blue Earth calls to you Every day in every way Momma's puttin' on some warpaint For a little bit of combat You asked the reason You gotta fight for your freedom Sometimes everyday In every way
Many people pass by Caught up in roles and rules Many rivers run free I don't wanna' crush The wilderness in you child Or the wilderness in me How do we keep them both alive? Somehow they must survive Somehow they must survive
We go together Through the changing seasons Hearts afire You know the world needs it Everyday in every way Little darling Zap Touch the earth child Heaven and earth child Ahm ahm ahm Is that a monster? Yep - no, a crocodile Ee's eatin' the bed See im? Ahm ahm ahm I'm ona eat mommy And bed all up! Ahm ahm ahm
A whole new world That's where we'll be A thrilling chase A wondrous place For you and me
