You're Driving Me Crazy Composer(s): Walter Donaldson Performer(s): Guy Lombardo; and various other artists
You left me sad and lonely Why did you leave me lonely? For here's a heart that's only For nobody but you!
I'm burning like a flame, dear Oh, I'll never be the same, dear I'll always place the blame, dear On nobody but you
Yes, you You're driving me crazy! What did I do? What did I do? My tears for you Make everything hazy Clouding the skies of blue
How true Were the friends who were near me to cheer me Believe me, they knew! But you Were the kind who would hurt me, desert me When I needed you!
Yes, you! You're driving me crazy! What did I do to you?
----------
As recorded by Don Redman:
Spoken: (Hey, you guys there, let's get together there Why, you'se enough to drive a man crazy! What's the matter, can't we get this thing? What do you say we go there, huh? Pick out a song!)
You! You're driving me crazy! What did I do? Oh, what did I do? My tears for you make everything hazy, Clouding the skies of blue!
How true! Were the friends who were near me to cheer me Believe me, they knew But you! Were the kind who would hurt me, desert me when I needed you!
Yes, you! You're driving me crazy! What did I do to you?
A Friend Of Mine Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
Good morning Mary Ann And how are you upon this bright And sunny morning I hear your brother Ted Got caught for speeding But was let off with a warning I hope he's learnt his lesson And the next time he goes out will drive with care It doesn't pay to drive too fast All it does is make your life last shorter
I know you won't believe this But it happens to be true I am a loner My only real companion is dog I'm very fond of His name's Homer He follows me wherever I go And of course I do my best to feed him It's not the easiest of tasks When you consider unlike cats They're broader
Do what you want to within reason But remember take your time Nothing stops for those Who can't afford to wait The best advice that I can give you Is to hold on to your head And as long as you are good and kind You'll always be a friend of mine And it's true to say that a good friend is hard to find But I'd like to think that you are A friend of mine
Good morning Sarah Jane And how are you today Tell me is that your mother She looks a lot like you Though come to think of it You look like one another It's funny how with likenesses Most people have a difference of opinion They said that I was like my dad Now they say that I'm just like his daughter
Do what you want to within reason But remember take your time Nothing stops for those Who can't afford to wait The best advice that I can give you Is to hold on to your head And as long as you are good and kind You'll always be a friend of mine
You'll always be a friend of mine As long as you are good and kind You'll always be a friend of mine A friend in need is a friend indeed You'll always be a friend of mine
You're Breaking My Heart Composer(s): Pat Genaro; Sunny Skylar Performer(s): Vic Damone; and various other artists
You're breaking my heart 'cause you're leaving You've fallen for somebody new It isn't too easy believing You'd leave after all we've been through It's breaking my heart to remember The dreams we depended upon You're leaving a slow dying ember I'll miss you, my love, when you're gone I wish you joy, though teardrops burn But if some day you should want to return Please hurry back and we'll make a new start, dear Till then you're breaking my heart
(Instrumental Interlude)
I wish you joy, though teardrops burn But if some day you should want to return Please hurry back and we'll make a new start, dear Till then you're breaking my heart
A Friend I Call Desire Composer(s): Warren Cann / Chris Cross / Billy Currie / Midge Ure) Performer(s): Ultravox
You live for love, I long for it You give for love, I take from it This friend of mine, desire This lovers crime, desire Emotion driving all the time A burning need for things not mine Desire
You need your love I walk from it You fight for love I run from it My enemy desire Caressing me, desire The torch I carried burnt my hand I can't control what I can't stand Desire
You give for love, I lie for it You give for love, I shy from it And the pain, and the lust, and the want And the hurt, and the lies And the fears, and the urge, and the feel And the touch, and it's all A friend I call desire
You give for love, I lie for it You give for love, I shy from it And the pain, and the lies And the touch, and it's all A friend I call desire
You're Breaking My Heart Composer(s): H.H. Melka Performer(s): Ernest Tubb; Claude King
The clothes that I wear are shabby and old While you run around just spending my gold Each night Im alone, were drifting apart Youre treating me wrong Youre Breaking My Heart
Youve shattered my hopes, my dreams are all gone My life is so bare, how can I go on You never will change its to late to start Youre treating me wrong Youre Breaking My Heart
Ah Billy Bird now Instrumentals
Now once I was free, the one of your dreams But now that I am yours you dont want me it seems The things you have done, helped dive us apart Youre treating me wrong Youre Breaking My Heart
I could have been gay, life could have been grand If you only you cared, if youd understand You never will change its to late to start Youre treating me wrong Youre Breaking My Heart
Frenchman For The Night Composer(s): Jimmy Buffett - Roger Guth Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett; Nadirah Shakoor
From his driftwood castle Comes a song I've heard before A scratchy gramophone cuts to the bone "La Vie En Rose" arpeggios So the dream begins And the song is amplified Buy the Beaujolais, on Bastille day He dances in the tide
By the light of the moon He's a Frenchman for the night By the light of the moon It'll be all right
Well it takes him back To the days of love and war And the girl he knew with eyes of blue Waiting on the shore If he'd only known How the years would fly on by Such a simple crime, he's run out of time So he reaches for the sky
Blame it on the Champs Élysees Blame it on a tune Blame it on the stroke of Monet But you can't escape the moon
He sees the stars above As the floor to heavens light While the angels taunt "C'est une nuit blanche" He's a Frenchman for the night
From a driftwood castle Comes a song I've heard before A scratchy gramophone cuts to the bone "La Vie En Rose" arpeggios
You're Breakin' My Heart Composer(s): Harry Nilsson Performer(s): Harry Nilsson
You're breakin' my heart You're tearing it apart so fuck you
All I want to do is have a good time now I'm blue You won't boogaloo, Run down to Tramps, have a dance or two, ooohhh You're breakin' my heart, You're tearing it apart but fuck you
You're breakin' my heart You're tearing it apart, boo-hoo
You stepped on my ass You're breakin' my glasses too You won't drive my car, might be a star I've had enough of you I'm goin' insane There's no one to blame so fuck you
Instrumental break #1
You can't have your way There's nothing left to say There's nothing left to do, ooooohhh You're breakin' my heart You're tearing it apart so fuck you
Instrumental break #2
You gotta have your way There's nothing left to say There's nothing left to do, ooooowww You're breakin' my heart You're tearing it apart but I love you
A Free Thinker Composer(s): Laura Nyro Performer(s): Laura Nyro
You don't have your own You're livin' thru others Toss and turn at night but you play it demure and what's more you don't think you've got the right to be a free thinker You could give yourself the right You could shine your special light
Are you a consumer A mere number on a supermarket line? wear a perfect mask and never show your feelings maybe you can make the time To be a free thinker You could find your own style You may feel more alive
Do you ever wonder Can we save our planet and where will it go in time? White hawks destroy And healers send joy back to the starry nite line for a free thinker with some individuality you may find you feel more free
A Four-Legged Friend Composer(s): Jack Brooks Performer(s): Roy Rogers and multiple other artists
A four-legged friend, a four-legged friend He'll never let you down He's honest and faithful right up to the end That wonderful one-two-three-four-legged friend
A woman's like cactus and cactus can hurt 'Cause she's just a tight-waisted winky-eyed flirt She'll soon have your land and your pride and your gold And bury you deep long before you grow old
A four-legged friend, a four-legged friend He'll never let you down He's honest and faithful right up to the end That wonderful one-two-three-four-legged friend
A two legged hombre is worthless as sand He'll smile like a saint with a gun in his hand He'll promise to stick by your side like a pal But he'll also promise the same to your gal
A four-legged friend, a four-legged friend He'll never let you down He's honest and faithful right up to the end That wonderful one-two-three-four-legged friend
Who carries your burden, who carries your load On tumbleweed land or a long dusty road Who asks you no questions, who tells you no lies That four-legged friend with the two honest eyes
A four-legged friend, a four-legged friend He'll never let you down He's honest and faithful right up to the end That wonderful four-legged friend
A Foto Da Capa Composer(s): Chico Buarque Performer(s): Chico Buarque
O retrato do artista quando moço Não é promissora, cândida pintura É a figura do larápio rastaqüera Numa foto que não era para capa Uma pose para câmera tão dura Cujo foco toda lírica solapa
Era rala a luz naquele calabouço Do talento a clarabóia se tampara E o poeta que ele sempre se soubera Claramente não mirava algum futuro Via o tira da sinistra que rosnara E o fotógrafo frontal batendo a chapa
É uma foto que não era para capa Era a mera contracara, a face obscura O retrato da paúra quando o cara Se prepara para dar a cara a tapa
You're All Woman Composer(s): Clarke; Vale; Hicks Performer(s): The Hollies
I'm uptight, gotta give a little slow down, take my time Ease up, learn to relax a little So close, so close I'm shakin', shakin' with expectation Breathless, outta time Lips dry, feels like my heart is burstin' So close, so close
Smooth as silk but sharp as a knife Hotter than hell but cooler than ice Hard as steel but soft with your touch Take luck to the limit but don't ask too much You're all woman, you're all woman You're all woman So close, so close To losing my mind
Panic, I'm on the verge of breakdown Half crazed, lost control, need you to kill my affection So close, so close Helpless, holding out for rescue Gunned down, one more time Breakthrough, gotta try to reach you So close, so close
chorus
Woman, woman
Hard as steel but soft with your touch Take luck to the limit but don't ask too much You're all woman, you're all woman You're all woman So close, so close To losing my woman Woman, you're all woman So close, so close To losing my woman You're all woman, you're all woman
A Fool's Fantasy Composer(s): Goldy McJohn Performer(s): Steppenwolf
Slip away with me Let our ears be free Live a life of love There's no need to care Sharin' it together Whatcha got to lose? In love and life, it's all you get It's easy to choose
There's a way for love We can make it work There's a way for love A fool's fantasy Is that so much to ask for? Everything we're dreamed about Could be ours forevermore
Take a chance on freedom Come take a chance on me We'll drown ourselves in pleasure Just happy to be Without inhibitions and nothing to fear We'll while away the summer sun Nibblin' on an ear
You're All Too Ugly Tonight Composer(s): Buzz Cason; Dan Penn Performer(s): Jerry Lee Lewis
Yeah you're all too ugly tonight Why there ain't a decent one in sight You won't win no ribbon You can't win no prize You're all too ugly tonight You're all as ugly you can't believe Go ahead, get up off your old rusty knees The answer is no I gotta better place to go You're all too ugly tonight So mama put on another pot of coffee Put those little babies to bed You know the crazies and the freaks You won't believe whats on the streets I'm comming on home to you instead! 'Cause the're all too ugly tonight Why there ain't a decent one in sight You can't win no ribbon No way to win no prize You're all too ugly tonight So put on another pot of coffee Put those precious babies to bed Why the crazies and the freaks Girl you won't believe whats on the streets I'm comming on home mama to you instead!

You're All The World To Me Composer(s): Burton Lane; Alan Jay Lerner Performer(s): Fred Astaire; and various other artists
Everywhere that beauty glows, you are Everywhere an orchid grows, you are Everything that's young and gay, brighter than a holiday Everywhere the angels fly, you are
You're like Paris in April and May You're New York on a silvery day A Swiss alp as the sun grows fainter You're Loch Lomond when Autumn is the painter
You're moonlight on a night in Capri And Cape Cod looking out at the sea You're all places that leave me breathless And no wonder you're all the world to me
You're Lake Como when dawn is a glow You're Sun Valley right after a snow A museum, a Persian palace You're my shining Aurora Borealis
You're like Christmas at home by a tree The blue calm of a tropical sea You're all places that leave me breathless And no wonder, you're all the world to me
A Fool No More Composer(s): Peter Green Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac; Kim Lembo
Yes, I've packed up my clothes I'm moving away from your door Lord, I've packed up my clothes Said, I'm moving away from your door I've been your fool for so long Babe, I won't play that fool no more
I gave you all my money I work as hard as I can I came home early one morning I found you with another man Babe, I've packed up my clothes I'm moving away from your door Said, I've been your fool for so long And Lord, I won't play that fool no more
So good-bye baby you don't even care Yes, I had a love so strong for you but you treat me so unfair Said, I've packed up my clothes I'm moving away from your door You know, I've been your fool for so long And babe, I won't play that fool no more

I don't care if you hurt me some more I don't care if you even the score You can knock me and I don't care You can mock me and I don't care You can rock me just about anywhere It's alright 'Cus you're all I've got tonight You're all I've got tonight You're all I've got tonight I need you tonight I don't care if you use me again I don't care if you abuse me again You can make me I don't care You can fake me I don't care You can love me just about anywhere It's alright I don't want to feel sorry for you You don't have to make believe it's you You can pump me I don't care You can bump me I don't care You can love me just about anywhere It's alright
