'Taint Nobody's Biz-ness if I Do
Composer(s): Porter Grainger - Everett Robbins
First release by: Anna Meyers & Original Memphis Five - 1922
Covered by multiple other artists



There ain't nothin' I can do
Or nothing I can say
That folks don't criticize me
But I'm gonna do what I want to anyway
And I don't care just what people say

If I should take a notion to jump into the ocean
't Ain't nobody's bizness if I do

If I go to church on sunday then cabaret all day monday
't Ain't nobody's bizness if I do

If my man ain't got no money and I say take all mine honey
't Ain't nobody's bizness if I do

If I give him my last nickle and it leaves me in a pickle
't Ain't nobody's bizness if I do

I'd rather my man would hit me than for him to jump up and quit me
't Ain't nobody's bizness if I do

I swear I won't call no coppa if I'm beat up by my poppa
't Ain't nobody's bizness if I do

Nobody's bizness, ain't nobody's bizness
Nobody's biznes if I do

When Sunny Gets Blue
Composer(s): Jack Segal; Marvin Fisher
Performer(s): Johnny Mathis



When Sunny gets blue, her eyes get gray and cloudy
Then the rain begins to fall
Pitter-patter, pitter-patter, love is gone so what can matter?
No sweet lovin' man comes to call

When Sunny gets blue, she breathes a sigh of sadness
Like the wind that stirs the trees
Wind that sets the leaves to swayin' like some violins are playin'
Weird and haunting melodies

People used to love to-o-o hear her laugh, see her smile
That's how she got her name
Since that sad affair she's lost her smile, changed her style
Somehow she's not the same

But mem'ries will fade and pretty dreams will rise up
Where her other dreams fell through
Hurry, new love, hurry here to kiss away each lonely tear
And hold her near when Sunny gets blue

Hurry, new love, hurry here to kiss away each lonely tear
And hold her near when Sunny gets blue

(Ain't Nobody Loves You) Like I Do 
Performer(s): La Toya Jackson



There ain't nobody loves you like I do

You think that I've been cheating
I can see it in your eyes

They say that I've been running round
do you believe in lies ?
Ooh
ooh
loving you
that's all I wanna do

Do I have to prove myself to you ? - Yeah

I wouldn't hurt you baby
don't believe a word they say

After all that we've been through how could I anyway ?
So you think that I could really be so cruel

There ain't no mountain high I wouldn't climb for you 'cause 

There ain't nobody loves you like I do

Don't let their jealous talk get through to you
'Cause if they start a rumour that my heart ain't true

Don't let it come between us 'cause there ain't nobody loves you like I do

You got so many questions
I can see it in your face

They say that my affections are somehow out of place
Ooh
ooh
loving you
that's all I wanna do

There's no river deep I wouldn't swim for you 'cause
There ain't nobody loves you like I do

AII this time you were playing on my mind

Didn't think you were the kind to throw it all away
What was I to do
I should've seen right through
AII the bad
bad lies tearing me apart inside!

Ooh
ooh
loving you is all I wanna do

Ooh
there ain't a thing I wouldn't do for you 'cause 
There ain't nobody loves you like I do

There ain't nobody loves you like I do

There ain't nobody loves you like I do

When Summer Is Gone
Composer(s): Sonny Curtis
Performer(s): Gary Lewis & The Playboys



I'll see you in September when summer is gone
Have a good time but remember, I'll be waiting back home
And when you go out dating with some guy all alone
Just remember I'll be waiting when summer is gone

When the warm June nights surround you
Don't fall under his spell
When he puts his arms around you
Remember that I loved you so well

And I'll see you in September when summer is gone
Have a good time but remember
Come back to me when summer is gone

When the warm June nights surround you
Don't fall under his spell
When he puts his arms around you
Remember that I loved you so well

And I'll see you in September when summer is gone
Have a good time but remember
Come back to me when summer is gone

Ain't Nobody Home (In California) 
Composer(s): John Kay
Performer(s): John Kay



When I returned here back from the Islands
You know I couldn't say enough 'bout old Kauai
But now I'm out here on the road
Calling friends back home
But I just get the phone machine and this reply

Ain't nobody home in California
All your friends have gone to Molokai
Ain't nobody home in California
Everybody's off to see Hawaii

May your journey seem forever
May the Islands touch your heart
And if you leave it all the way you found it
May the peace that you'll find never part

I wish I'd be there, back in the Islands
You know, I'd ride along the beach at Hana Bay
But I'm stuck in Waco, Texas
At the Paradise Motel
And now there's no one waiting for me in L.A.
'Cause

Nobody's home in California
All your friends have gone to Molokai
Ain't nobody home in California
Everybody's off to see Hawaii 

Soon my travels will be over
And soon a plane will take me home
And just as soon I can make it over
I'll be leaving these words on my phone

Ain't nobody home in California…..

When Somebody Thinks You're Wonderful 
Composer(s): Harry Woods
Performer(s): Fats Waller;
and various other artists



When somebody thinks you're wonderful
What a difference in your day
Seems as though your troubles disappear
Like a feather in your way

When somebody thinks you're wonderful
Tells you with a smile so sweet
What are little stones you're steppin' on
Just a meadow 'neath your feet

And how you meet the morning
You gaily swing along
At night you may be weary
But your heart still sings a song

When somebody thinks you're wonderful
Love is mighty close to you
Just another thing more wonderful
Making all her dreams come true

Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens
Composer(s): Alex Kramer - Joan Whitney
First release by: Louis Jordan & His Tympany Five - 1946
Covered by multiple other artists



One night farmer brown was takin' the air
Locked up the barnyard with the greatest of care
Down in the hen house something stirred
When he shouted, "who's there?"
This is what he heard

There ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
So quiet yourself and stop that fuss
There ain't nobody here but us
We chickens tryin' to sleep and you bust in
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble, with your chin

There ain't nobody here but us chickens
There ain't nobody here at all
You're stompin' around and shakin' the ground
You’re Kicking up an ful dust
We chickens tryin' to sleep and you bust in
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble, it's a sin

Tomorrow is a busy day
We got things to do, we got eggs to lay
Worms to catch, ground to scratch
It takes a lot of sittin', gettin' chicks to hatch

There ain’t nobody here but us chickens
There ain’t nobody here at all
So quiet yourself and stop that fuss
There ain’t nobody here but us
And kindly point that gun the other way
And hobble, hobble, hobble off and hit the hay

Tomorrow is a busy day
We got things to do, we got eggs to lay
Worms to catch and ground to scratch
It takes a lot of settin', gettin' chicks to hatch

There ain’t nobody here but us chickens
There ain’t nobody here at all
So quiet yourself and stop that fuss
There ain’t nobody here but us
And kindly point that gun the other way
And hobble, hobble, hobble off and hit the hay

When Something Is Wrong With My Baby
Composer(s): Isaac Hayes; David Porter
Performer(s): Linda Ronstadt



When something is wrong with my baby
Something is wrong is me
And if I know that she's worried
I know I'd feel the same misery

We've been through so much together
We stand as one
That's what makes it better
When something is wrong with my baby
Something is wrong with me

Just what she means to me now
Oh you just you just wouldn't understand
People can say that she's no good
But she's my woman and I know I'm her man

And if he's got a problem
Woo-oah I know I got to help him solve 'em
When something is wrong with my baby
Something is wrong with me
When something is wrong with my baby
Something is wrong with my baby
When something is wrong with my baby
Something is wrong with me

Ain't Nobody But Me
Composer(s): Rick Davies - Roger Hodgson
Performer(s): Supertramp



Let me tell you a story that'll make a change
Let me tell you when I'm way out of range
It's about a man who's crueler than me
So promise not to cause a scene
Heaven help the one's you love
There's no big need for stars above

Well, you can run, you, know he'll find you
It don't matter now, just look behind you
You had your warn, and you knew the score
You got it wrong, and that means war
So, why'd you have to treat me rough
Your explanation's not enough

Ain't nobody but me
Gonna lie for you, gonna die for you
Ain't no fish in the sea
Gonna sigh for you, gonna try for you
Gonna lie for you, gonna die for you
Wooh

You see, I got a mental disposition
Sometimes, I'm mean, sometimes I'm vicious
I'm Dr. Jekyll, I'm Mr. Hyde
So if you wanna stay alive
Just give me all you've got to give
And, then perhaps I'll let you live

Ain't nobody but me
Gonna lie for you, gonna die for you
Ain't no fish in the sea
Gonna sigh for you, gonna try for you
Gonna lie for you, gonna die for you
Gonna sigh for you, gonna try for you
Gonna lie for you, gonna die for you

(Hush) Now baby, stop your crying
(Oh Yes) I know that I've been lying
(Hush) Now baby, stop your crying
(Oh Yes) I know that I've been lying
(Hush) Now baby, stop your crying
(Oh Yes) I know that I've been lying
(Hush) Now baby, stop your crying
(Oh Yes) I know that I've been lying

Ain't Nobody
Composer(s): David Wolinski
First release by: Rufus & Chaka Khan - 1983
Covered by multiple other artists



Captured effortlesly 
That's the way it was
It happens so naturely 
I did not know it was love
The next thing I felt was you 
Holding me close 
What was I gonna do 
I let myself go

And now we fly through the stars
Want this night will last for ever

I've been waiting for you 
It's been so long
I knew just what I would do when I heard your song
I fill my heart with your kiss 
It gave me freedom
You knew I could not resist 
I needed someone

And now we're flying through the stars
I hope this night lasts for ever

Ain't nobody (Nobody) 
Loves me better (Loves Me Better) 
Makes me happy 
Makes me feel this way (Nobody) 
Ain't nobody (Nobody) 
Loves me better (Than You) 

I wait for nighttime to come to bring you to me
Can't believe I'm the one 
I was so lonely
I feel like noone can feel 
I must be dreamin'
I want this dream to be real 
I'm in this feeling

I make my whish upon a star 
And hope this night will last for ever

Ain't nobody (Nobody) 
Loves me better (Loves Me Better) 
Makes me happy this way 
Makes me feel this way (Nobody) 
Ain't nobody (Nobody Baby) 
Loves me better 
Ain't nobody 
Loves me better (Than You) 

I wish you put your arms around me 
Yeah you put your arms around me
I can't resist this sweet surrender
Oh, my night's so warm and tender
We stare into each others eyes
And what we seek is no surprise
I've got a feeling most would treasure
And our love's so deep we cannot measure 

When She Makes Music
Composer(s): Marvin Fisher; Jack Segal
Performer(s): Jack Jones;
Julie London; George Shearing



All she has to do is say "Hello"
And that's the sweetest melody I know
The sound of angels singing soft and low
When she makes music

Her laughter is an echo in the breeze
That hushes larks and thrushes in the trees
And calms the wave that rushes from the seas
When she makes music

Any time she breathes a sigh
The symphony begins
Every time she says "Goodbye"
A million violins start crying

The song is sad until we meet again
We kiss and then the song is sweet again
But whether she is far away or very near
She makes music only I can hear

Every time she says "Goodbye"
A million violins start crying

The song is sad until we meet again
We kiss and then the song is sweet again
But whether she is far away or very near
She makes music only I can hear

Performer(s): The Four Tops
and multiple other artists



(Ain't no woman like the one I've got)
(Ain't no woman like the one I've got)
(Ain't no woman like the one I've got)

Every day the sun comes up around her
She can make the birds sing harmony
Every drop of rain is glad it found her
Heaven must have made her just for me
When she smiles so warm and tender
A sight for sore eyes to see

Oooh, (ain't no woman like the one I've got)
Oh, no, they don't come better
(To make her happy doesn't take a lot)
She don't ask for things, no diamond rings
(So together, like a hand in glove)
Like pages in a letter
(Ain't no woman like the one I love)

She can fill me up when it's down I'm goin' (I'm goin')
Put a little music in my day
Wouldn't be surprised if my love keeps growin' (it keeps growin')
Bigger every minute that she stays away
I would kiss the ground she walks on
'Cause it's my word, my word she'll obey, now
Woo-ooh. (Ain't no woman like the one I've got)
Well, I kiss the ground she walks on
(To make her happy doesn't take a lot)
She's a real good friend right to the end
(So together like a hand in glove)
A lonely man when she's gone
(People, ain't no woman like the one I love)

Oooh. What a good, good thing I've got
She means to me a lot

(Ain't no woman like the I've got)
No, no, they don't come better
(To make her happy doesn't take a lot)
She don't ask for things, no diamond rings
(So together, like a hand in glove)
Like pages in a letter
(Ain't no woman like the one I love, people)

(Ain't no woman like the one I've got)
Well, I kiss the ground she walks on
(To make her happy doesn't take a lot)
I'm a lonely man when my baby's gone 

When She Loved Me
Composer(s): Randy Newman
Performer(s): Sarah McLachlan;
and various other artists



When somebody loved me
Everything was beautiful
Every hour we spent together
Lives within my heart

And when she was sad
I was there to dry her tears
And when she was happy so was I
When she loved me

Through the summer and the fall
We had each other that was all
Just she and I together
Like it was meant to be
And when she was lonely
I was there to comfort her
And I knew that she loved me

So the years went by
I stayed the same
But she began to drift away
I was left alone
Still I waited for the day
When she'd say
I will always love you

Lonely and forgotten
Never thought she'd look my way
And she smiled at me
And held me
Just like she used to do
Like she loved me
When she loved me

When somebody loved me
Everything was beautiful
Every hour we spent together
Lives within my heart

When she loved me

Row Row Row
Row Row Row
I use to have big money
That was many moons ago
You use to call me honey

'Cause there ain't no wheels on this ship
And we can't row row row

The cat of every ball
Now listen little papa
Well I'm at your big downfall
'Cause there ain't no wheels on this ship
And we can't row row row
We can't row row row
We can't row
Row row row
Row row row
You use to like my lovin'
Because you liked my gold
Now ya don't want my lovin'
'Cause there ain't no dough no more
And there ain't no wheels on this ship
And we can't row row row
We can't row row row
We can't row
Row row row
Row row row
Well I tell you for the last time
And I told you this before
If you want to keep your mama
Ya gotta love me more and more
'Cause there ain't no wheels on this ship
And we can't row row row
We can't row row row
We can't row 

When Shadows Fall I Hear You Calling California
Performer(s): Tot Seymour; Milo Rega



You'll find every native son, when his roaming days are done
has a feeling so forlorn for the place where he was born
I'm no different from the rest, I've that feeling in my breast
I've a longing for the Golden West

I can see each sun kissed hill, it gives me a wholesome thrill
and I see the orange tree, that once sheltered you and me
I hope I'll be back there soon, mid the roses' sweet perfume
where each day is like a day in June

When shadows fall I hear you calling California
your sheltering palms stretch out their arms
Each gentle breeze brings memories of California
in every dream I just seem to be going back to the one I love
I know somebody who is waiting to caress me
two eyes of blue, said they'd be true
I'm going there where the palm trees are swaying
that's where I'm longing to be
two loving arms beneath the palms are calling me

Ain't No Way To Treat A Lady
((French Version: Je Veux T'aimer Comme Une Femme (by Mireille Mathieu) - 1975))
Composer(s): Harriet Schock
First release by: Harriet Schock - 1974
Covered by multiple other artists



I guess it was yourself you were involved with
I would have sworn it was me
I might have found out sooner if
You'd only let me close enough to see

That ain't no way to treat a lady
No way to treat your baby 
Your woman your friend
That ain't no way to treat a lady, no way 
But maybe it's a way for us to end

I was only bein' a picture
With all the colors I know
While you were busy looking into 
Wide blue mirrors and lovin' the show

That ain't no way to treat a lady
No way to treat your baby 
Your woman your friend
That ain't no way to treat a lady, no way 
But maybe it's a way for us to end

There's a funny kind of consolation
Keepin' me sane
And I'd really like to share it 
Crawl on deep in my brain
You see the time you never felt me
Lovin' you or needin' you
So leavin' you now
You still won't know how to feel the pain

I was lookin' out for my happiness
While you were looking within
And before you know your own reflection
Always starts to tire you, it's happened again

That ain't no way to treat a lady
No way to treat your baby 
Your woman your friend
That ain't no way to treat a lady, no way 
But maybe it's a way for us to end

That ain't no way to treat a lady
No way to treat your baby 
Your woman your friend
That ain't no way to treat a lady, no way 
But maybe it's a way for us to end ...

When Seasons Change
Composer(s): Curtis Mayfield
Performer(s): Curtis Mayfield



When seasons change – and we've again surpassed September
A lot of scars – that kind of scare you to remember
Scufflin' times – in seeing people trying to put you down
For goodness sakes
People trying to take what you know you've found
Stranded in someone else's neighborhood
Listening to the undertone
Lord! Sure makes it a blessing to know you got your own
Time makes you suffer – when seasons change
Can't call no names – when you got your own self to blame
Praying to Jesus – make me a little stronger
So I might live the life – a little bit longer
So many changes – going in and out of my life
How can anyone survive
When everybody's been made a sacrifice
Look all around – and see yourself so weak and so vulnerable
So you're trying to be strong – but your money ain't too long
And it's so terrible
Don't you know – if you want a good life
Best look into yourself
'Cause the world is cold – and everybody's bold
And there's no one else
Time makes you suffer – when seasons change
Can't call no names
When you got your own self to blame
Strain won't give me no – satisfaction
Taxes are taking up – a new collection
So many changes – going in and out of my life
How can anyone survive
When everybody's been made a sacrifice
Whon seasons change – and we've again surpassed September
A lot of scars – that kind of scare you to remember
Scuf flin' times – in seeing people trying to put you down
For goodness sakes
People trying to take what you know you've found

Composer(s): Harriet Schock - Eddy Marnay
Performer(s): Mireille Mathieu - 1975



Je n'ai jamais compris les gens qui s'aiment et qui se cachent le cœur
Moi je voudrais crier ton nom crier ma joie de vivre au monde entier

Je veux t'aimer comme une femme t'aimer comme Juliette aimait Roméo
Je veux t'aimer comme une femme t'aimer comme un soleil d'été penché sur l'eau

Je voudrais s'écrire un poème et le jeter sur la mer
Pour qu'il voyage cent milles ans avec tous les bateaux et tous les oiseaux

Je veux t'aimer comme une femme t'aimer comme Juliette aimait Roméo
Je veux t'aimer comme une femme t'aimer comme un soleil d'été penché sur l'eau

Je voudrais écrire notre histoire sur chaque fleur
La poser sur des guitares qui font chanter les cœurs
Je ne veux pas garder pour moi ce grand amour qui chaque jour
Se réveille encore plus grand et plus fort qu'un grand amour

Je veux t'aimer comme une femme t'aimer comme Juliette aimait Roméo
Je veux t'aimer comme une femme t'aimer comme un soleil d'été penché sur l'eau

Je veux t'aimer comme une femme t'aimer comme Juliette aimait Roméo
Je veux t'aimer comme une femme t'aimer…

When Push Comes To Shove 
Composer(s): Robert Hunter; Jerry Garcia
Performer(s): Grateful Dead



Shaking in the forest, what have you to fear
Here there may be tigers to punch you in the ear
Gloves of stainless steel, bats carved out of brick
Will knock you down and push you up and give your ass a kick
When push comes to shove
You're afraid of love

Shaking in the desert, wherefore do you cry
Here there may be rattle snakes to punch you in the eye
Shotguns full of silver, bullets made of glass
String barbed wire at your feet and do not let you pass
When push comes to shove
You're afraid of love

Chorus
When push comes to shove
When push comes to shove
You're afraid of love
When push comes to shove

Shaking in the bedroom, covers on your head
Cringing like a baby at the hand beneath the bed
Phantom in the closet, scratching at the door
The latest mystery killer that you saw on channel four
When push comes to shove
You're afraid of love

Shaking in the garden, the fear within you grows
Here there may be roses to punch you in the nose
Twist their arms around you, slap you till you cry
Wrap you in their sweet perfume and love you till I die
When push comes to shove
You're afraid of love

(chorus)
