Who's Gonna Take You Home Tonight Composer(s): Martin Page Performer(s): Tom Jones
There's a place you go after dark Where you sell your haunted heart In the shadows you look for the friend Who'll take you where the sidewalks ends
And it's a sad affair You reach out but no one's there
Tell me who's gonna take you home tonight Take your hand and hold you tight Who'll be the one to make it right And promise you paradise
Tell me who's gonna take you home tonight Turn the darkness into light And wipe away the tears you cry Just another stranger Will be taking you home tonight
You couldn't see that love was the price What happened to the light in your eyes Broken dreams fall at your feet You stand alone on a dead end street
So who's gonna hear you prayer Look around there's no one there He'll tell you dreams come true And take you to some rented room But when the blinds are drawn Another angel will fall
I guess it's in your blood One love just ain't enough
Tell me who's gonna take you home tonight Take your hand and hold you tight Who'll be the one to make it right And promise you paradise
Tell me who's gonna take you home tonight Turn the darkness into light And wipe away the tears you cry Just another stranger Will be taking you home tonight
All In Love Is Fair Composer(s): Stevie Wonder First release by: Stevie Wonder - 1973 Covered by multiple other artists
All is fair in love love's a crazy game Two people vow to stay in love as one they say
But all is changed with time the future none can see the road you leave behind Ahead lies mystery
But all is fair in love I had to go away A writer takes his pen to write the words again All in love is fair
All of fate's a chance it's either good or bad I tossed my coin to say to say in love with me you'd stay but all in war is so cold
you either win or lose when all is put away the losing side I'll play
But all is fair in love I should have never left your side A writer takes his pen to write the words again that all in love is fair A writer takes his pen to write the words again
Don't Be Surprised Composer(s): Margie Singleton - Jerry Kennedy Performer(s): Dave Dudley
I've known all alone that you had leavin' on your mind My questions had been answered by the look that's in your eyes Any day now you'll come to me and I know just what you'll say First you apologize say that you expect the words and then walk away
Don't be surprised if I don't look surprised when you say goodbye Don't be takin' by surprise but you expect the absence of tears in my eyes Any day now you'll come to me...
Who's Gonna Play This Old Piano? Composer(s): Ray Griff Performer(s): Jerry Lee Lewis
Who's gonna play this ol' piana After I'm not here? Who's gonna sing these sad songs to you 'Cause your eyes to fill with tears? Who's gonna keep these ivories talking Like Jerry's doin' now? Who's gonna play this ol' piano After my last bow? When that final curtain calls Someday lord it will! Who'll take my place on that stage When everything is ah hushed and still Who's gonna touch these keys with feeling?

Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes Composer(s): Troy Seals; Max D. Barnes Performer(s): George Jones; Tammy Wynette
You know this old world is full of singers But just a few are chosen To tear your heart out when they sing Imagine life without them All your, radio heros Like the outlaw that walks through Jesse's dream
No, there will never be another Red-headed stranger A Man in Black and Folsom Prison Blues The Okie from Muskogee Or Hello Darling Lord I wonder, who's gonna fill their shoes
(Chorus:) Who's gonna fill their shoes Who's gonna stand that tall Who's gonna play the Opry And the Wabash Cannonball Who's gonna give their heart and soul To get to me and you Lord I wonder, who's gonna fill their shoes
God bless the boys from Memphis Blue Suede Shoes and Elvis Much too soon he left this world in tears They tore up the Fifties Old Jerry Lee and Charlie And old Go Cat Go still echoes through the years
You know the heart of country music Still beats in Luke the Drifer You can tell when hew sings I Saw the Light Old Marty, Hank and Lefty Why I can feel them right here with me On this Silver Eagle rolling through the night
Mad Composer(s): Tom T. Hall Performer(s): Dave Dudley
I got about half high so I spent the whole weekend out I got home Monday morning tore up like a can of Kraut My only suit was layin' on the steps I just picked up and run and I ain't been back there since Well mad yeah she's mad It's back to the doghouse I know from the practise I've had When she's mad I play a dangerous game In the obituary column they've already printed my name
She's five feet three and weights about hundred and eight She's the kind of gal who don't believe in men a makin' mistakes She's sweet and mighty nice But when she's mad she's got a voice that'll cut through ice Well mad ooh she's mad...
She's got eyes like a cat and she watches every move that I make An alarm clock mind that's ringin' every time that I'm late I'm sorry sick and all alone But I'll have to stick it out cause it just ain't safe to go home Well mad ooh she's mad... In the obituary column they've already printed my name In the obituary column they've already printed my name
Who's Crying Now Composer(s): Jonathan Cain; Steve Perry Performer(s): Journey
It's been a mystery and still they try to see Why somethin' good can hurt so bad Caught on a one-way street, the taste of bittersweet Love will survive somehow, some way
One love feeds the fire One heart burns desire I wonder, who's cryin' now Two hearts born to run Who'll be the lonely one I wonder, who's cryin' now
So many stormy nights, so many wrongs or rights Neither could change their headstrong ways And in a lover's rage, they tore another page The fightin' is worth the love they save
One love feeds the fire One heart burns desire I wonder, who's cryin' now Two hearts born to run Who'll be the lonely one I wonder, who's cryin' now
Only so many tears you can cry 'Til the heartache is over And now you can say your love Will never die
Whoa, oh
One love feeds the fire One heart burns desire I wonder, who's cryin' now Two hearts born to run Who'll be the lonely one I wonder, who's cryin' now
Lasciami appoggiare un po' la testa sopra il tuo seno adagio adagio con la tua dolcezza mi sfiori la mano un brivido mi increspa la pelle mentre lasci cadere lo scialle le tue calze colore di mare giù dal letto le vedo volare e nell'ombra il profilo del corpo immaturo che hai Così piccola come un pulcino insieme mi tieni vicino con quel modo di inventare l'amore che tu hai Così piccola come un pulcino che si appisola nella mia mano con quel modo di giocare amore che tu hai Non dirmi che hai paura a fare l'amore perchè non ci credo che cosa ti succede proprio adesso che io ti volevo Se davvero ho sbagliato qualcosa sono quì posso chiederti scusa se sorridi ad una stella così bella come nell'improvviso diventerai incosciente anche tu..... Così piccola come un pulcino insieme mi tieni vicino con quel modo di inventare l'amore che tu hai Così piccola come un pulcino che si appisola nella mia mano con quel modo di giocare amore che tu hai
Who's Cheatin' Who Composer(s): Jerry Hayes Performer(s): Alan Jackson; and various other artists
Everywhere you look you can write a book On the trouble of a woman and a man But you can not impose you can't stick your nose Into something that you don't understand
But still you wonder Who's cheatin' who, who's being true Who don't even care anymore It makes you wonder Who's doing right with someone tonight And who's car is parked next door
I thought I knew her well I really couldn't tell That she had another lover on her mind You see it felt so right when she held me tight How could I be so blind
But still you wonder Who's cheatin' who, who's being true Who don't even care anymore It makes you wonder Who's doing right with someone tonight And who's car is parked next door
A heart is on the line each and every time Love is stolen in the shadows of the night Though it's wrong all along it keeps going on As long as you keep in outta sight
But still you wonder Who's cheatin' who, who's being true Who don't even care anymore It makes you wonder Who's doing right with someone tonight And who's car is parked next door
Who's Blue Now? Composer(s): Caesar; Meyer Performer(s): Fred Waring
Who's blue now? You ought to know You made me go Who's blue now? You ought to say You had your way
You drifted far apart from me You didn't care You took the very heart from me You didn't spare me
Who's saying "Oh, what a break! What a mistake!" Who's paying With many a heartache? Hate you, I don't Love you I won't Now that I'm through Who's blue now? Nobody but you!
All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You Composer(s): Robert John "Mutt" Lange Performer(s): Heart; Girls Rock America; Dobie Gray
It was a rainy night when he came into sight Standing by the road, no umbrella, no coat So I pulled up along side and I offered him a ride He accepted with a smile so we drove for a while I didn't ask him his name, this lonely boy in the rain Fate tell me it's right, is this love at first sight Please don't make it wrong, just stay for the night All I wanna do is make love to you Say you will you want me too All I wanna do is make love to you I've got lovin' arms to hold on to
So we found this hotel, it was a place I knew well We made magic that night. Oh, he did everything right He brought the woman out of me, so many times, easily And in the morning when he woke all I left him was a note I told him I am the flower you are the seed We walked in the garden we planted a tree Don't try to find me, please don't you dare Just live in my memory, you'll always be there
All I wanna do is make love to you One night of love was all we knew
We made love Love like strangers All night long We made love
Then it happened one day, we came round the same way You can imagine his surprise when he saw his own eyes I said please, please understand I'm in love with another man And what he couldn't give me Was the one little thing that you can

I don`t like the work but true I need the money My life is like a joke but to me is isn`t funny Peolpe all around, telling me what to do And all I want to do is stay at home with you
Time after time I say to myself Working all my life isn`t good for my health Get old, get tired, get put on the shelf I do all the work, someone else gets all the wealth Wish I was on an island in the sun Where I woouldn`t have to worry how to get things done
I don`t like the work but true I need the money My life is like a joke but to me is isn`t funny Peolpe all around, telling me what to do And all I want to do is stay at home with you
Day after day becomes more of a grind Bills pile up, moneys harder to find Trying to get ahead money`s harder to find If I don`t give it up i`m gonna lose my mind Wish I was on an island in the sun Where I wouldn`t have to worry how to get things done
I don`t like the work but true I need the money My life is like a joke but to me is isn`t funny Peolpe all around, telling me what to do And all I want to do is stay at home with you
Whos Been Polishing The Sun? Composer(s): Noel Gay Performer(s): Leslie Holmes
The worlds becoming a gay one I used to think it a grey one But I discovered its A1, just now Its taken on a new meaning Its very nice to be seen in Theres been a little spring-cleaning somehow
Whos been polishing the sun Brightening the sky today? They must have known just how I like it Everythings coming my way Whos been teaching all the birds How to sing a roundelay? They must have known just how I like it Everythings coming my way
Yesterday everything looked anyhow Then I met someone and look at it now Whos been polishing the sun Rubbing out the clouds of grey? They must have known just how I like it Everythings coming my way
Now the world was getting all rusted And I was getting disgusted But everything has been dusted today The skys a little serener The grass a little bit greener Theres been a vacuum cleaner this way
Whos been polishing the sun Brightening the sky today? They must have known just how I like it Everythings coming my way Whos been teaching all the birds How to sing a roundelay? They must have known just how I like it Everythings coming my way
Yesterday everything looked anyhow Then I met someone and look at it now Whos been polishing the sun Rubbing out the clouds of grey? They must have known just how I like it Everythings coming my way
Yesterday everything looked anyhow Then I met someone and look at it now Whos been polishing the sun Rubbing out the clouds of grey? They must have known just how I like it Everythings coming my way
