Am I Asking Too Much Composer(s): Richards - R. Dean Taylor Performer(s): Diana Ross & The Supremes
Through a shadowed world I drift in emptiness and doubt Because I push aside the love I just can't live without
Please won't you give my crying eye Just one more chance to see That look upon your face That promised love to me
Am I asking too much Or is this love we had Lost beyond recall Am I asking too much Can we start again and rise above it all
Kiss my ears with gentle words I need to hear (Baby I love you) Let your arms reach out and Tell me that you need me dear (Baby I need you) 'Cause if you need me darling Baby, you'll forgive (Forgive me dear) You'll forgive me says the breath of air I need to live
Am I asking too much Even though I hurt you so Don't say we're through Am I asking too much Won't you let me try And make it up to you
All the precious hours we've wasted All the bitter tears we've tasted I need your love inside of me Make me the girl I used to be
In your heart is there no longer room for me to live When all I did was take, all you did was give All the tears I made you cry Turned your heart to stone Has loneliness made up your mind To live alone
Am I asking too much Or is this love we had Lost beyond recall Am I asking too much Can we start again and rise above it all
Am I asking too much Won't you let me try And make it up to you Am I asking too much Even though I hurt you so Don't say were through
Am I asking too much Or is this love we had Lost beyond recall
Woman To Woman Composer(s): Homer Banks; Eddie Marion; Henderson Thigpen Performer(s): Shirley Brown
Hello May I speak to Barbara Barbara, this is Shirley Now you might not know who I am But the reason I'm callin' you is because I was goin' through my old man's pockets this morning And I just happened to find your name and number So woman to woman I don't think it's bein' any more than fair than to call you And let you know where I'm comin' from Now Barbara, I don't know how you're gonna take this But whether you be cool or come out of a bag on me You see, it really doesn't make any difference But it's only fair that I let you know That the man you're in love with, he's mine From the top of his head to the bottom of his feet The bed he sleeps in, and every piece of food he eats You see, I make it possible The clothes on his back, ha-ha, I bought him The car he drives, I pay the note every month So I'm tellin' you these things to let you know how much I love that man And woman to woman I think you'll understand just how much I'll do to keep him
Woman to woman If you've ever been in love Then you'd know How I feel
And woman to woman Now if you were in my shoes Wouldn't you have done The same thing too
Whoa, woman to woman Can't you see where I'm comin' from And woman to woman Ain't that the same thing you would have done
Woman to woman Now should I just step aside And let her take What's rightfully mine
Whoa, woman to woman Was I right or was I wrong And I ain't gon' let you Break up my happy home
Now woman to woman Now you see I don't want no trouble now I hope you understand I love that man and he's mine
I'm talkin' to you woman to woman You should be woman enough to understand That man I love that man
Woman, woman, woman to woman He's mine And I ain't gon' give him up No, baby, and I ain't lyin'

You came from the city streets to my little country town Your spell is on my baby and you've got me sorrow bound You don't really love him you're playin' around for fun Woman of the world leave my world alone

than you wear to parties where you go There's a place I know where you should go
for that's where you belong Woman of the world leave my world alone
I don't know about the things the bright lights talk to you My country boy don't know them any better than I do I'll have to watch him hurtin' after you are gone Woman of the world leave my world alone
You're the devil's woman that's what my man don't know Why I wear more in swimmin' than you wear to parties where you go There's a place I know where you should go for that's where you belong Woman of the world leave my world alone

Woman Of The World Composer(s): Darren Solomon; Steven Tyler Performer(s): Aerosmith
Well, she's the woman of the world And God she know it She'll turn my head Every time she shows it Yeah, nothing you can do Nothing you can say No way you can try to change her way She might be gone tomorrow Honey, say what you gotta say
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy what a woman
Well I tried, I tried so hard to please her She'd give me a look if I beg to tease her There's nothing you can say Nothing you can do No way you can try to choochie coo She might be gone tomorrow Oh, Lordy what you gonna do
And I tried with an open hand And a heart of sorrow Hoped that everything would be all right Don't save too much lovin' for tomorrow Get out all your lovin' here tonight
And I tried with an open hand And a heart of sorrow Hoped that everything would be all right Don't save too much lovin' for tomorrow Get out all your lovin' here tonight
She got big-eyed cats She got coats of sable She seats forty-four at her dinner table And there's nothing you can do Nothing you can say No way you can try to change her way She might be gone tomorrow Oh, throwin' it all away
Always wanting you, but never having you Makes it hard to face tomorrow 'cause I Know I'll be wanting you again Always loving you, but never touching you Sometimes hurts me almost more than I can stand
I'd been better off if I'd turned away and never Looked at you the second time 'Cause I really had my life all together till your eyes meet mine
And there I say a yearning and a feeling 'cross The room that you felt for me Wish I'd had a way of knowing that the things we had in Mind could never be
Always wanting you, but never having you Makes it hard to face tomorrow 'cause I Know I'll be wanting you again Always loving you, but never touching you Sometimes hurts me almost more than I can stand
Woman Of Labrador Composer(s): Andy Vine Performer(s): Andy Vine; Lindsay Street
Woman of Labrador Children round your cabin door Wondering when their daddy will be home He's gone on trapping lines Seems like such a long long time Since he's waved his last farewell And left you alone
Woman of Labrador Turn your mind to daily chores Hunting and catching fish To feed your family At night when they're all in bed You go outside and raise your head Watch the northern lights go dancing High over the sea
Daughter of Labrador Those days are here no more You wonder if your baby will ever understand The hardships that you endured When everyone you knew was poor Sharing everything you had And living off the land
Woman of Labrador Children round your cabin door Wondering when their daddy will be home He's gone on the trapping lines Seems like such a long long time Since he's waved his last farewell And left you alone
I Washed My Face In The Morning Dew Composer(s): Tom T. Hall First release by: Tom T. Hall - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
The first strange town I was ever in The county was hangin' a man Nobody cared if he lived or died And I just didn't understand
So I washed my face in the morning dew Bathed my soul in the sun Washed my face in the morning dew And kept on movin' along
The second strange town that I was in They were laughin' at a poor crippled man Beggin' for nickels and dimes on the street And I just didn't understand
So I washed my face in the morning dew Bathed my soul in the sun Washed my face in the morning dew And kept on movin' along
The third strange town that I was in Was settled, peaceful and nice The rich got richer and the poor got poorer And to me it didn't seem right
So I washed my face in the morning dew Bathed my soul in the sun Washed my face in the morning dew And kept on movin' along
Someday times are bound to change It can't be very far And each injustice I have seen Will come before the bar
Then I'll wash my face in the morning dew Bathe my soul in the sun Wash my face in the morning dew And my journey will be done Then my journey will be done
Well I went to my good doctor not so long ago A-walkin in a circle and moanin low He looked at me and said, good lord above, son You need a vaccination of a-woman love
Well Im lookin for a woman with a one track mind A huggin and a kissin and a smoochin all the time Id build her a castle to the moon up above I sure am a needin me some woman love (lets rock)
Well Im lookin for a lovin gal that needs a lot of care Not worried about her figure or the color of her hair The doctor really scared me when he said, good lord above You sure am a-needin you some woman love
Well Im tired of walkin circles, tired of moanin low I want my baby with me everywhere I go I want my lovin baby to call him turtle dove I sure am a-needin me some woman love (lets rock again)
Well Im tired of walkin circles, tired of moanin low I want my baby with me everywhere I go I want my lovin baby to call him turtle dove I sure am a-needin me some woman love

Now I've made my mind up played second long enough You think I don't mean it so you're gonna call my bluff But I'll be busy packin' while you're holding her near Happy birthday merry Christmas and happy New Year
My best wishes may be early but I'm not stickin' around... Happy birthday merry Christmas and happy happy New Year
Woman Is The Nigger Of The World Composer(s): John Lennon; Yoko Ono Performer(s): John Lennon; Cássia Eller
Woman is the nigger of the world Yes she is... think about it Woman is the nigger of the world Think about it... do something about it
We make her paint her face and dance If she won't be a slave, we say that she don't love us If she's real, we say she's trying to be a man While putting her down we pretend that she's above us
Woman is the nigger of the world.. yes she is If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with Woman is the slave of the slaves Ah, yeh... better scream about it
We make her bear and raise our children And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother hen We tell her home is the only place she should be Then we complain that she's too unworldly to be our friend
Woman is the nigger of the world... yes she is If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with Woman is the slave to the slaves Yeh (think about it)
We insult her every day on TV And wonder why she has no guts or confidence When she's young, we kill her will to be free While telling her not to be so smart We put her down for being so dumb
Woman is the nigger of the world Yes she is... If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with Woman is the slave to the slaves Yes, she is... If you believe me, you better scream about it
We make her paint her face and dance We make her paint her face and dance We make her paint her face and dance
Boy Like You (aka Girl Like You) Composer(s): Tompall Glaser Performer(s): Loretta Lynn
There's a jukebox in my ear playin' so loud I can hardly hear It's tellin' a story about a boy like you And each selection that I make tells me how my heart will break For fallin' in love with a boy like you
Though it's just an ol' machine without a heart but oh so mean It says I'll prob'ly spend my whole life feelin' blue So I'll put in one more dime and play that same song one more time 'Cause I wanna hear about a boy like you
Though it's just an ol' machine without a heart but oh so mean It says I'll prob'ly spend my whole life feelin' blue I know that I should go on home but I can't stand to be alone 'Cause I always dream about a boy like you Yes I always dream about a boy like you

Versions In Other Languages: 1980 - Une Femme Amoureuse (by Mireille Mathieu) 1981 - To Je testí (by Helena Vondrácková)
Life is a moment in space When the dream is gone It's a lonelier place I kiss the morning goodbye But down inside you know We never know why The road is narrow and long When eyes meet eyes And the feeling is strong I turn away from the wall I stumble and fall But I give you it all...
I am a woman in love And I do anything To get you into my world And hold you within It's a right I defend Over and over again What do I do?
With you eternally mine In love there is No measure of time We planned it all at the start That you and I Would live in each other's hearts We may be oceans away You feel my love I hear what you say No truth is ever a lie I stumble and fall But I give you it all
I am a woman in love And I do anything To get you into my world And hold you within It's a right I defend Over and over again What do I do?
I am a woman in love And I'm talking to you Do you know how it feels? What a woman can do It's a right That I defend over and over again......
I Hope I Never Love That Much Again Composer(s): Roy Baham) Performer(s): Dave Dudley
I know just how great love can be, I loved so much one time I know how it hurts to see it end I've had my share and if I live to be a hundred years I hope I never love that much again
The bigger the love, the harder the fall And it takes a long time for a heart to mend If there should ever come a time when I could love at all I hope I never love that much again
I loved her more than life itself, she was ev'rything to me For I believed in life and love back then If I can just forget she's gone, if her mem'ry sets me free I hope I never love that much again
The bigger the love, the harder the fall And it takes a long time for a heart to mend If there should ever come a time when I could love at all I hope I never love that much again I hope I never love that much again
Woman In Chains Composer(s): Roland Orzabal Original Performers: Tears for Fears Covered by various other artists
You better love loving and you better behave You better love loving and you better behave Woman in Chains Woman in Chains
Calls her man the Great White Hope Says she's fine, she'll always cope Woman in Chains Woman in Chains
Well I feel lying and waiting is a poor man's deal And I feel hopelessly weighed down by your eyes of steel It's a world gone crazy Keeps Woman in Chains
Trades her soul as skin and bone Sells the only thing she owns Woman in Chains Woman in Chains
Men of Stone Men of Stone
Well I feel deep in your heart there are wounds Time can't heal And I feel somebody somewhere is trying to breathe Well you know what I mean It's a world gone crazy Keeps Woman in Chains
It's under my skin but out of my hands I'll tear it a part but I won't understand I will not accept the Greatness of Man
Always Unknowing Composer(s): Bryan Ferry Performer(s): Roxy Music
Following the morning star But there´s no sense In always running Take what you want to know Just give me time Always unknowing World passing by That´s how it looks Always unknowing Don´t you leave my side There is no sense In always running Just one more time Is all I need Always unknowing Hold back tonight With your sight Always unknowing
Woman In Black Composer(s): Mick Jones Performer(s): Foreigner
I knew the moment I walked through that door I felt so close to a burning sensation It got so warm As I moved across the floor My body aching with anticipation
I saw a dark silhouette, at the table I tried to talk, but I was unable She drew me in right under her spell I was hypnotized by the sudden temptation
Of that woman in black, she's a mystery She's everything a woman should be Woman in black, she's got a hold on me She's in control, she won't set me free
She is a woman She's not a girl anymore The kind that stirs up a young man's imagination She's dressed to kill And I'm so ready to fall Into her world full of strange fascination
I see that dark silhouette, at the table I can't resist, my body's not able She draws me in, but she teaches me well I never need any explanation
From that woman in black, she's a mystery She's everything a woman should be I said, woman in black, got a hold on me She's in control, she won't set me free
Ooh, woman in black It's too late now I can't turn back 'Cause I'm a fool for that woman Woman in black Ooh, ooh, woman in black
Ooh, that woman in black, she's a mystery She's everything a woman should be That woman in black, she's got a hold on me She's in control, she won't set me free
She's my mysterious mistress But she leaves me so helpless My woman in black She's a dark senorita My woman in black No Sunday school teacher My woman in black We're keeping it a secret We meet in the night We're partners in silence Strangers in daylight
Always Have, Always Will Performer(s): Paul Carrack
If you're wondering if your love Will stand the test of time I'm here to tell you I can put your mind at ease Ain't nothing in the whole wide world that could ever make me leave
How could I ever walk away Darlin' I need your love each and every day
Always have, always will If you should ask me do I love you still Without shame without blame I always have and always will I always have and always will
I remember, there were times When my heart could not conceive Something so beautiful bould happen in this life A precious gift to me worth and sacrifice There is no doubt or mystery It's obvious that you mean everything to me
Always have, always will
It was almost like your heart called out my name I was helpless from the start I knew right there and then I'd never be the same Never never I'd never be the same
Woman Down In Memphis Composer(s): Carson J. Robison; Frank Luther Performer(s): The Red Clay Ramblers
Woman down in Memphis Bought myself a forty-four Listen to my warning Stay away from my front door Gone and thought the whole thing over Now I know you had me blind Oh! Woman down in Memphis Goin' to get you off my mind
Woman down in Memphis Told me that your love was true Said that we would soon get married Said you'd always do me right Oh! Woman, you was triflin' Soon as I was out of sight
I went to the doctor Asked him what was wrong with me Said I'd have to leave this country Get away from Memphis town Oh! He said I'd been grievin' 'Till my health was all broke down
Woman down in Memphis Listen to my lonesome song Woman down in Memphis Won't be singin' very long When they take me to the graveyard Lay me in the cold cold ground Oh! Woman down in Memphis Hope the Lord will strike you down
