Making Love In The Rain Composer(s): James Harris; Terry Lewis Performer(s): Herb Alpert
Making love in the rain I can't believe the joy it brings me
Making love all alone I hear the rain on my window
It's just a little thing but it means so much to me
Our bodies together while the rain plays a melody
Every raindrop makes think of you (Wishing you were close to me)
There is nothing that I'd rather do than... Making love in the rain I can't believe the joy it brings me
When we're done - all alone I hear the rain on my window
When it's stormy outside It's warm in my heart with you in my arms
And when your away from me I wish it would rain 'cause its always the same
Every raindrop makes think of you (Wishing you were close to me)
There is nothing that I'd rather do than... Making love in the rain I can't believe the joy it brings me (I can't believe)
When I'm here all alone I hear the rain on my window (On my window)
Making love in the rain I can't believe the joy it brings me
Making love all alone I hear the rain on my window (On my window, I hear the raindrops fall)
Every raindrop makes think of you (Wishing you were close to me)
There is nothing that I'd rather do than... (Nothing that I'd rather do than) Making love in the rain I can't believe the joy it brings me (Making love, oohh making love)
When we're here all alone I hear the rain on my window (On my window, I hear it rain)
Making love in the rain I can't believe the joy it brings me (ooohhhh, yeah)
Si Tu Penses ((Adapted from: Little Town Flirt (by Del Shannon) - 1962)) Composer(s): Marion McKenzie - Del Shannon - Eddy Mitchell Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell - 1963
Si tu penses (si tu penses) encore à moi (si tu penses) Si tu te lances dans la vie sans moi Réfléchis sur l'avenir, revis avec tes souvenirs
Si tu penses, hey, oh, oh, hey you... à moi Si tu y penses, ne m'oublie pas
Je sais bien (je sais bien) que notre amour (je sais bien) N'était rien, mais peut-être qu'un jour Tu regretteras ce temps, souviens-toi, tu m'aimais tant
Si tu penses, hey, oh, oh, hey you... à moi Si tu y penses, ne m'oublie pas
Si tu penses du mal de moi, si mes avances n'aboutissent pas Tu ne me feras pas de peine, je peux bien vivre sans toi Même si tu penses à moi (à moi, moi, moi)
Quand je pense (si tu penses) encore à toi (si tu penses) Il me semble que tu reviendras Ne crois surtout pas que je tente de te ramener vers moi
Si tu penses, hey, oh, oh, hey you... à moi Si tu y penses, ne m'oublie pas, oh, oh, oh (si tu penses)
Making Love In The Afternoon Performer(s): Karen Carpenter
Makin' love in the afternoon Makin' love to another Beatle tune And I know you're feelin' the same way too
All alone on a sunny day On our own and we had to get away And I know that I couldn't live without you Don't ever leave me alone Baby without you, I'd never make it alone
Makin' love on a sunny day Makin' love in a very special way And I hope you're feelin' the way I do When you're here, when you're next to me When you're near its the only place to be 'Cause I know that I couldn't live without you Dont ever leave me alone Livin'without you, I couldn't make it alone
Why wait for tomorrow? Tomorrow may never come Why wait for the evening shadows? Something behind me, will always remind me To wait for the morning Knowing you'll be here soon And then we can be together In the afternoon
Makin' love (Makin'love) Makin' love in the afternoon
Little Things Mean A Lot ((Danish Version: Småting Kan Sige Alt (by Gustav Winckler) - 1964)) Composer(s): Edith Lindeman - Carl Stutz First release by: Kitty Kallen - 1954 Covered by multiple other artists
Blow me a kiss across the room Say I look nice when I'm not Touch my hair as you pass my chair Little things mean a lot
Give me your arm as we cross the street Call me at six on the dot A line a day when you're far away Little things mean a lot
Don't have to buy me diamonds or pearls Champagne, sables or such I never cared much for diamonds and pearls 'Cause honestly, honey, they just cost money
Give me your hand when I've lost my way Give me your shoulder to cry on Whether the day is bright or gray Give me your heart to rely on
Send me the warmth of a secret smile To show me you haven't forgot For always and ever, now and forever Little things mean a lot
Give me your hand when I've lost my way Give me your shoulder to cry on Whether the day is bright or gray Give me your heart to rely on
Send me the warmth of a secret smile To show me you haven't forgot For always and ever, now and forever Little things mean a lot
Making Love Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Bruce Roberts; Carole Bayer Sager Originally performed by: Roberta Flack
Here close to our feelings we touch again We love again Remember when we thought Our hearts would never mend And we're all the better for each other
There's more to love I know Than making love
Here no more confusion we see our lives We live our lives Remember when we thought We never would survive But now neither one of us is breaking
There's more to love I know Than making love
Some things never change Some things sometimes do And now I'm feeling strong enough to let you in And now neither one of us is breaking Now we know there's more to love Than making love And I'll remember you and making love And I'll remember you
Little Things (That Keep Us Together) Composer(s): Ady Semel - Scott Walker First release by: Scott Walker - 1970
It's on days like these When your brother falls You can read it all in the Times How a moving car Stole a movie star Little Things that keep us together While the war's going on It's on days like these When your childhood cries And you see it all on the news Little children starve Growing tired of born Little things that keep us all close and warm While the war's going on Find a place you can hide And take what you can The time will arrive When you need a friend Stop looking at us We're waving good-bye There's a man Shouting he's with me When that morning comes I can't wait to see Just how high his eagle On color screens Is gonna fly Going to fly It's on nights like these That your neighbor dies 'Cos he put a gun to his head He was so alone He had nothing left Little things that call for a drink That bury a soldier's death It's on days like these When your sister cries And your brother falls from your hands Jumbo jets can die Killing 81 Little things that help us get by the why Why the war's going on Why the war's going on Why the war is going on why the war is going on why the war's going on why the war's going on
Making Every Minute Count Composer(s): John Morier Performer(s): Spanky & Our Gang; Keith
While you're hung up on yesterday You got nothing going today While you're hung up on tomorrow All the good times are slipping away Life is right now and if you take it The share will be the biggest amount There's only one way to make it That's making every minute count

Making every minute count Making it groovy Making love, making it now If you know a better way of goin' You know you'd better show me how

Little things that you do Make me glad I'm in love with you Little things that you say Make me glad that I feel this way The way you smile, the way you hold my hand And when I'm down you always understand

Making A Noise Composer(s): Robbie Robertson Performer(s): Robbie Robertson
Contact From The Underworld Of Red Boy
Everyone has a song God gave us each a song That's how we know who we are Everyone has a song
We have come, heat the drum The land trembles with dancing We have come, bang the drum The land trembles with dancing
Making a noise in this world Making a noise in this world You can bet your ass I won't go quietly Makin' a noise in this world
I don't want your promise I don't want your whiskey I don't want your blood on my hands Only want what belongs to me
I think you thought I was gone I think you thought I was dead You won't admit that you was wrong Ain't there some shit that should be said
Making a noise in this world Making a noise in this world You can bet your ass I won't go quietly Makin' a noise in this world
The Indian dancers stop and stare at him Like he was bad weather He keeps dancing And knocks loose an eagle feather The drums stop This is the kind of silence that frightens white men
Making a noise in this world Making a noise in this world You can bet your ass I won't go quietly Makin' a noise in this world

If You Could Touch Her At All
Composer(s): Lee Clayton
Performer(s): Waylon Jennings
and multiple other artists
Funny a woman can come on so wild and free
Yet insist I don't watch her undress or watch her watch me
And stand by the bed and shiver as if she were cold
Just to lie down beside me and touch me as if I were gold
One night of love don't make up for six nights alone
I'd rather have one than none
Lord, I'm flesh and bone
Though sometimes it seems she ain't worth the trouble at all
She can be worth the world if somehow you can touch her at all
Right or wrong a woman can own any man
She can take him inside her and hold his soul in her hand
Then leave him as weary and weak as a newborn child
Fighting to get his first breath and open his eyes
One night of love...
Makin' The Best Of A Bad Situation Composer(s): Dick Feller Performer(s): Dick Feller; Ray Stevens; Tom Jones
Now, I know a man, he's a hard workin' man He gets up real early, and he goes down town And about fifteen minutes after he's been gone There's a big milk truck pulls up on the lawn And that milkman rushes up to the door Where that man's wife is waitin' in a kimono And she plants a big ol' kiss on his cheek and they go inside And that truck never moves for an hour or two
Well it's none of my business One day I called him aside and told him what was goin' on While he was gone And he said, "Well I guess that's so, but do you know We're never outta' milk or cottage cheese or yogurt, ice cream, or none of them other cowy things"
I guess he's makin' the best of a bad situation Don't wanta make waves, can't you see He's just makin' the best of a bad situation Reckon I'd do the same if it was me
Now I know a man, he's an educated man He's an alligator wrestler He jumps right in there and grabs them long green boogers By whatever you grab them long green boogers by... Well, one day he's got a full Nelson on this big alligator When this other alligator sneaks up and bites his right ear plumb off Didn't bat an eye, just crawled off in the shade and went to sleep The alligator not the man
Well, it's none of my business One day I said, "Well, it's sure too bad about that little accident that you had 'Cause now your hat's gonna fall down over your eyes And you can't ever be gypsy 'Cause you don't have no place to wear a gold earring" He just looked me right straight in the eye and said, "Huh?"
I guess he's makin' the best of a bad situation Don't wanna make waves, can't you see He's just makin' the best of a bad situation Reckon I'd do the same if it was me
Now I know a lady, she's a mighty fine lady Got a heart of gold, she wouldn't harm a fly She's just tryin' to get by and keep her house in order But you know that her husband He worked so hard that he come unglued He come unwrapped, he just snapped, thinks he's a chicken That's right, one of them cackling Colonel Sanders' types He roosts in the bush by the side of the house
Well it's none of my business but one day I said "Have you ever thought about findin' him a doctor who could make him well" And she said "Well, I have now and then, but then again He don't eat much, just chickenfeed And all that peckin' in the ground don't hurt nothin' Heaven knows, we can use the eggs"
I guess she's makin' the best of a bad situation Don't wanna make waves, can't you see She's just makin' the best of a bad situation Reckon I'd do the same if it was me
We're all just makin' the best of a bad situation We're all in this together you and me
