Almost But Not Quite There Composer(s): Barlow - Francis Rossi Performer(s): Status Quo; Traffic Jam
I want to have you here with me To cuddle up so near to me And do the things you like me to do to you You like it when I tickle you We start to kiss it pleases you It gets so hot, I just don't know what to do
To take you when you're feelin' good To love you like I know I should It makes me feel all of ten feet tall
So I just try to give to you All that I can to satisfy you I don't like to leave you girl Almost but not quite there
So I just try to give to you All that I can to satisfy you I don't like to leave you girl Almost but not quite there
Now when I finally get to you I'm gonna put my love to you And then I'll see just how good you are So I've got to have you here with me To cuddle up so near to me And do the things you like me to do to you
So I just try to give to you All that I can to satisfy you I don't like to leave you girl Almost but not quite there
Zwarte Lola Composer(s): Johnny Hoes Performer(s): Annie Heuts
Ja ik ben Lola Zwarte Lola Ik ben Lola uit de stripteasebar Rode lippen, zwarte nylons En een massa krullend haar Willen de heren zich amuseren Dan sta ik altijd voor ze klaar Want ik ben Lola, zwarte Lola Ik ben Lola uit de stripteasebar
Heeft u complexen Wilt u relaxen Kom dan bij Lola in de bar Komt u met velen 't kan mij niet schelen Dat is voor Lola geen bezwaar Want in mijn hart zijn heel wat plaatsjes vrij Dus zoekt u troost Kom dan gerust bij mij
Want ik ben Lola Zwarte Lola Ik ben Lola uit de stripteasebar Rode lippen, zwarte nylons En een massa krullend haar Willen de heren zich amuseren Dan sta ik altijd voor ze klaar Want ik ben Lola, zwarte Lola Ik ben Lola uit de stripteasebar Willen de heren zich amuseren Dan sta ik altijd voor ze klaar Want ik ben Lola, zwarte Lola Ik ben Lola uit de stripteasebar Ik ben Lola uit de stripteasebar
Almost Blue Composer(s): Elvis Costello First release by: Elvis Costello & The Attractions - 1982 Covered by multiple other artists
Almost blue Almost doing things we used to do There's a girl here and she's almost you Almost all the things that your eyes once promised I see in hers too Now your eyes are red from crying
Almost blue Flirting with this disaster became me It named me as the fool who only aimed to be
Almost blue It's almost touching it will almost do There's a part of me that's always true...always Not all good things come to an end now it is only a chosen few I've seen such an unhappy couple
Wish Me Well Composer(s): Gary Brooker; Keith Reid Performer(s): Procol Harum; Elderberry Jak
You know I caught a glimpse, thought I understood But I left it all far behind Now if I'd known then what I know now Do you think I would've been so blind? Gonna take myself down to a wishing well I'm gonna make myself one last wish And if you follow me there, better bring what you've found 'Cause my night has come and I'm going down
Gonna buy myself a big rockin' chair And when I'm sittin' in that, then no one will peek And if my friends will come, they'll see what I'm suffering from I wish, I wish, I could rock myself to sleep Gonna take myself down to a wishing well Gonna make myself one last wish If you follow me there, better bring what you've found 'Cause my night has come and I'm going down
Almost Always True ((Adapted from: Alouette (by Edouard Lebel) - 1906)) Composer(s): Fred Wise - Ben Weisman Performer(s): Elvis Presley - 1961
I was always, baby, I was always Well almost always true to you Met a pretty mademoiselle Her papa owned a small hotel Oh, I was almost always true to you
I resisted, tho' my arm was twisted I was almost always true to you Stayed away from drinkin' wine Thought about you all the time Oh, I was almost always true to you
Kept refusin', don't jump to conclusions I was almost always true to you I would never grab like this I would never steal a kiss Oh, I was almost always true to you I was almost always true to you

Ja, ja, ja, meisjes met rode haren
die kunnen kussen, dat is niet mis Meisjes met rode haren, kunnen je zeggen wat liefde is Ja, ja, ja, meisjes met rode haren, kunnen je zeggen, als je ze kent Of je de grote liefde, de grote liefde voor altijd bent
Toen ik daar lag op mijn balkon Zag ik haar liggen in de zon Ze was heel mooi, ja dat is waar Maar het mooiste was haar rode haar
Die mooie tijd ging snel voorbij Het lag aan haar en niet aan mij Ze was heel mooi, ja dat is waar Maar 't mooiste was haar rode haar
Almost Composer(s): Paul Humphreys - Andy McCluskey First release by: Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - 1979
I'd travel oh so far To be where you are I'd travel there by car To be where you are But if I get there I'd find That I'd change my mind It happens all the time To a friend of mine
Always making statements And moving step by step Always acting theories I will regret My only consolation In the things that I've done Are the people who know me And the objects I own
Happens all the time To a friend of mine Happens all the time To a friend of mine Happens all the time To a friend of mine Happens all the time To a friend of mine Happens all the time
Almaz Composer(s): Randy Crawford First release by: Randy Crawford - 1986 Covered by multiple other artists
She only smiles He only tell her that she's the flower of wind and spring In all her splendor sweetly surrendering the love that innocence brings Almaz, pure and simple Born in a world where love survives Now men will want her 'Cause life don't haunt her Almaz, you lucky lucky thing
Now I watch closely and I watch wholly I can't imagine love so rare She's young and tender But will I bend her? I look around if she everything Almaz, pure and simple Born in a world where love survives Now men will want her 'Cause life don't haunt her Almaz, you lucky lucky thing
He throws her kisses She shares his wishes I'm sure he's king without a doubt with love so captive so surely captive I ask if I could play the part Almaz, pure and simple Born in a world where love survives Now men will want her 'Cause life don't haunt her Almaz, you lucky lucky thing
Wish I May, Wish I Might Composer(s): Hugh Martin; Ralph Blane Performer(s): Mel Tormé; and various other artists
Needles, pins, triplets, twins When a man marries, his troubles begin When a man dies, his troubles end Let's touch thumbs and see who wins
Wish I may, wish I might Get the wishes I'm wishing tonight A young cadet, blonde or brunette A Romeo in search of Juliet Wish I might, wish I may Get the wishes I'm wishin' today A lot of poise, a lot of noise And an awful lot of boys
I want a date, who'll stay out late A brother rat who'd leave me flat won't rate Want some orchids from New York A wrap of taffeta will be round me Scads of lads will hound me And they will cheer For the belle of the ball of the year So hold me close and hug me tight For that's the wish I wish I may I might
Wish I had an old jalop job Just a little olden top job Wish I had myself a C card That would suit me to a T pard I could take my date a-drivin' And I would get the wish I wish I tonight
Wish he'd send a dozen roses Wish I had the proper clotheses Wish I had a slinky hairdo Wish my evening dress was Bardeaux I would knock their little eyes out If I could get the wish I wish tonight
Wish we didn't have a chaperone Wish we had a chance to be all alone We could slip away and tell jokes and drink Cokes But this we're afraid the prom would never condone And so we wish we may, we wish me might
Just to see the latest dancing craze Makes me wish for my romancing days Seeing babies in the wild woods now Makes me wish for second childhood now
Needles, pins, triplets, twins Ah, ah, ah
Give a yell, give a cheer For the belle of the ball of the year So hold me close and hug me tight For that's the wish I wish I may, I might
The Lady Is A Woman Composer(s): Dick Feller Performer(s): Jerry Reed
She's elegant she's gracious a lady of the finest social set And you're the rich man that can buy her all the world And what she wants she gets You give her charge to count some cheque books Thinking that's the way to keep her satisfied But what she needs the most is what no charge or count of cheque book ever buy
The lady is a woman even you should understand While the lady may need soft things the woman needs a man Yes the lady is a woman that you can be certain of While your lady wants for nothing still your woman wants for love [ guitar ] Well all I do is drive your limousine and chauffer you the way you'd like to go But when I look at your lady even I can see there's something you don't know You give her everything she wanted but not one of the things she really needs Yes you still may have your lady but lately now your woman comes to me
Your lady is a woman even you should understand While your lady may need soft things still your woman needs a man Your lady is a woman that you can be certain of While your lady wants for nothing still your woman wants for love
Ô menina vai ver nesse almanaque como é que isso tudo começou Diz quem é que marcava o tique-taque e a ampulheta do tempo disparou Se mamava de sabe lá que teta o primeiro bezerro que berrou Me responde, por favor Pra onde vai o meu amor Quando o amor acaba
Quem penava no sol a vida inteira, como é que a moleira não rachou Me diz, me diz Quem tapava esse sol com a peneira e quem foi que a peneira esfuracou Quem pintou a bandeira brasileira que tinha tanto lápis de cor Me responde por favor Pra onde vai o meu amor Quando o amor acaba
Diz quem foi que fez o primeiro teto que o projeto não desmoronou Quem foi esse pedreiro, esse arquiteto, e o valente primeiro morador Diz quem foi que inventou o analfabeto e ensinou o alfabeto ao professor Me responde por favor Pra onde vai o meu amor Quando o amor acaba
Quem é que sabe o signo do capeta, o ascendente de Deus Nosso Senhor Quem não fez a patente da espoleta explodir na gaveta do inventor Quem tava no volante do planeta que o meu continente capotou Me responde por favor Pra onde vai o meu amor Quando o amor acaba
Vê se tem no almanaque, essa menina, como é que termina um grande amor Se adianta tomar uma aspirina ou se bate na quina aquela dor Se é chover o ano inteiro chuva fina ou se é como cair o elevador Me responde por favor Pra que tudo começou Quando tudo acaba
(Wish I Could) Hideaway Composer(s): John C. Fogerty Performer(s): Creedence Clearwater Revival
Howdy, friend, begging your pardon Is there something on your mind? You've gone and sold all your belongings Is that something in your eye?
Well, I know you really never Liked the way it all goes down Go on, Hideaway
What's that you say? We're all bound for the graveyard Ooh, I wish you well Think it's gonna rain Oh, what's the difference Is there some way I can help?
'Cause you know, I'm gonna miss you When you're gone, oh, Lord Wish I Could Hideaway
Hold on, give yourself a chance I can hear the leaving train
All aboard! Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye! Ooh, I wish you well See you soon, maybe tomorrow You can never tell
"Cause you know, I'm gonna miss you When you're gone, oh Wish I could Hideaway
Alma, Corazón Y Vida Composer(s): Adrián Flores Performer(s): Raphael and multiple other artists
Recuerdo aquella vez que yo te conocí Recuerdo aquella tarde Pero no me acuerdo ni como te vi Pero si te diré que yo me enamoré De esos tus lindos ojos De tus labios rojos que no olvidaré Oye esta canción que lleva Alma, corazón y vida Esas tres cositas nada más te doy Porque no tengo fortuna Estas tres cosas te ofrezco Alma, corazón y vida y nada más Alma para conquistarte Corazón para quererte Y vida para vivirla junto a ti
Ik zal Irak nooit binnenvallen Ik ben betrouwbaar tot en met Ik stamp nooit in iemand zijn ballen Ik surf nooit naar seks op het internet Ik wil niemand in de weg staan Ik ben nooit fake of nep Omdat mijn stoppen enkel doorslaan Als ik slecht geslapen heb
Ik ga nooit in Holland wonen Ik roep nooit: Vlaanderen vrij Of tegen ultra-francofonen Jullie doen net zo flauw als wij Je zal me zellen drugs zien dealen Ik geef nooit een vrouw een mep Ik krijg alleen maar dat debiele Als ik slecht geslapen heb
Ik zou nooit om te plagen Aan iemand zonder benen vragen Welke snelheid hij nog haalt met zijn step Ik stop nooit om te pesten Zowat condooms in vreemde vesten Tenzij ik slecht geslapen heb
Ik wil een misverstand vermijden Dus zeg ik eerlijk en oprecht En in alle bescheidenheid Slapen kan ik echt ... heel slecht
Alma Mía En La Noche Composer(s): Horacio Guarany Performer(s): Horacio Guarany
Alma alma mía en la noche Vuela como un pájaro azul Sueña con la paz de los hombres con la risa de un niño con tu amor y mi amor Alma corazón en las nubes Busca tu ternura y tu luz dulce mi guitarra te canta canción que en mi garganta se hace llanto por vos Adonde irás poema gris cuando no esté cerca de ti? adónde iré cuando no estés? La vida no es verdad sin ti... Alma tanto amor en las manos quema como un infierno cruel busca como un pájaro ciego esa paz y el sosiego que le da tu querer Deja que murmure la gente Ama como nunca has de amar piensa que tu llanto es mi llanto y cuando haya una pena junto a ti he de llorar
Wisdom Of A Fool Composer(s): Roy Alfred; Abner Silver Performer(s): Barbara Mandrell; and various other artists
If youre lucky enough To have someone who loves you Then be glad that you got Someone who loves you Cold lips that were warm Can grow cool Listen to the wisdom of a fool When you take his poor heart And you do something to it And you think to yourself Why did I do it You may find that the World can be cruel Listen to the wisdom of a fool Now I had a love Just the same as you And I was a fool Not to see But you still have time to say Your love him Im afraid its too late for me So, go back to the arms That you know will be waiting Hold him close in your arms And be glad that hes waiting Youll be happy Believe me, if youll Only listen to the wisdom of a fool Only listen to the wisdom of a fool
