You're Gonna Love Yourself (In The Morning) Composer(s): Donnie Fritts Performer(s): Kris Kristofferson; and various other artists
Heaven knows that someone has abused you I guess that's why you think I'm gonna use you You say you'll hate yourself in the morning Cause you'll wake up and find me gone
But if you give me just one more chance I can prove you wrong
Chorus
You're gonna love yourself in the morning Cause I'm gonna love you all night long You're gonna love yourself in the mor...ning And every morning from now on
I know what you're thinking I don't blame you It's gonna take a whole lot of love just to change you When you wake up in the morning, you're gonna feel like a different girl And you will see ... that it can be such a beautiful world ....
A Full-Time Job Composer(s): Jerry Teiffer Performer(s): Eddy Arnold and multiple other artists
I want a full-time job making love to you I'll do anything you want me to But if you have no plan to use a full-time man A part-time job will do
I want a life time job being close to you Making all your dreams come true But if your heart don't throb about a full-time job A part-time job will do
You wouldn't have to pay me A nickel or a dime As long as you would let me Get in a little bit of overtime
I want a full-time job holding hands with you I think you'd kinda like it too Don't want a part-time job I want a full-time job But a part-time job will do
You wouldn't have to pay me A nickel or a dime As long as you would let me Get in a little bit of overtime
I want a full-time job holding hands with you I think you'd kinda like it too Don't want a part-time job I want a full-time job But a part-time job will do

You're Gettting To Be A Habit With Me Composer(s): Al Dubin; Harry Warren Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; and various other artists
Every kiss, every hug seems to act just like a drug You're getting to be a habit with me Let me stay in your arms I'm addicted to your charms
You're getting to be a habit with me I used to think your love was something I could take or leave alone But now I couldn't do without my supply I need you for my own
Oh, I can't break away I must have you everyday as regularly as coffee or tea You've got me in your clutches and I can't break free
You're Driving Me Out Of My Mind Composer(s): Beeb Birtles; Graham Goble Performer(s): Little River Band
Feeling bluesy, you know you do confuse me all night I sit at home, alone and wonder if you're all right I count the hours and lie awake until you return And search my mind with overtime I've so much to learn
Well I gave you everything from the depths of my heart From the day you took my ring we drifted apart I have one thing more to say "You're driving me out of my mind"
So alone, the home we had has turned out its lights I walk the floor and wonder who is sharing your nights And all around, your sound, your thoughts are ever so near It's hard to take, this wait I'm always wanting you here
Well I gave you everything from the depths of my heart From the day you took my ring we drifted apart I have one thing more to say "You're driving me out of my mind" Though it may be hard to see If you change your mind, will you know just where I'll be If you ever need me
Feeling bluesy, you know you do confuse me all night I sit at home, alone and wonder if you're all right And all around, your sound Your thoughts are ever so near It's hard to take, this wait I'm always waiting to here
Well I gave you everything from the depths of my heart From the day you took my ring we drifted apart I have one thing more to say "You're driving me out of my mind"
I'm out of my mind You're driving me out of my mind You're driving me out of my mind
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
