Takin' My Time
Composer(s): Randy Ran - Danny Williams
Performer(s): After 7
You blow my mind, with the things you do to me girlie
I can't resist your luscious lips caressing my body
How do you keep not from fallin'
fallin' in love, with a girl that can do you
the way you like to be done
You blow my mind with the things you do to me girlie
I can't resist your luscious lips caressing my body
Takin' my time with you girl
never know when we'll do this again
takin' my time with you girl
Touchin' your love stokin' you from within
I hear your voice callin'
(baby please pick up the phone)
But I don't wanna answer
I got too many women
so I'm tellin' you not to fall in love with me
Touchin' your love stokin' you from within
Touchin' your love stokin' you from within
Touchin' your love stokin' you from within
The time is right for you to be close to me indefinitely
they say good things come to those who wait
I need to hold you in my arms
Moving Composer(s): Kate Bush Performer(s): Kate Bush
Moving stranger Does it really matter As long as you're not afraid to feel? Touch me, hold me How my open arms ache! Try to fall for me
How I'm moved How you move me With your beauty's potency You give me life Please don't let me go You crush the lily in my soul
Moving liquid Yes, you are just as water You flow around all that comes in your way Don't think it over It always takes you over And sets your spirit dancing
How I'm moved How you move me With your beauty's potency You give me life Please don't let me go You crush the lily in my soul
Give My Love To Rose Composer(s): John R. Cash Performer(s): Johnny Cash; and various other artists
I found him by the railroad track this morning I could see that he was nearly dead I knelt down beside him and I listened Just to hear the words the dying fellow said
He said they let me out of prison down in Frisco For ten long years I've paid for what I've done I was trying to get back to Louisiana To see my Rose and get to know my son
Chorus: Give my love to Rose please won't you mister Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes Tell my boy his daddy's so proud of him And don't forget to give my love to Rose
Tell them I said thanks for waiting for me Tell my boy to help his mom at home Tell my Rose to try to find another For it ain't right that she should live alone
Mister here's a bag with all my money It won't last them long the way it goes God bless you for finding me this morning And don't forget to give my love to Rose
Chorus: Give my love to Rose please won't you mister Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes Tell my boy his daddy's so proud of him And don't forget to give my love to Rose

They get up every morning from the alarm clock's warning Take the eight-fifteen into the city There's a whistle up above and people push and people shove And all the girls, who try to look pretty And if your train's on time you can get to work by nine And start your slaving job to get your pay If you ever get annoyed look at me I'm self-employed I love to work at nothing all day

If things were easy as fishing you could be a musician If you could make sounds loud or mellow Get a second hand guitar Chances are you'll go far If you get in with the right bunch of fellows People see you having fun just a lying in the sun And tell them that you like it this way It's the work that we avoid and we're all self employed We love to work at nothing all day
And we've been takin' care of business everyday Takin' care of business every way We've been takin' care of business it's all right Takin' care of business and working overtime

Sweethearts always used to spoon In a big morris chair Young folks of today Have a different way Far away from cranky dad And mother's eagle eye It's lots of fun Here's how it's done So come on and give it a try
Take your girlie to the movies If you can't make love at home There's not little brother there who always squeals You can say an awful lot in the seven reels Take your lessons at the movies And have love scenes of your own When the pictures over and it's time to leave Don't forget to brush the powder off your sleeve Take your girlie to the movies If you can't make love at home
Take your girlie to the movies If you can't make love at home Pick a cozy corner where it's nice and dark Don't catch influenza, kissing in the park Take your lessons at the movies And have love scenes of your own Tho she's just a simple little ribbon clerk Close your eyes and think you're kissing Billie Burke Take your girlie to the movies If you can't make love at home

Composer(s): Harpo - Vline Buggy - Claude Carrère
Performer(s): Sacha Distel - 1976
Des cils en soie bleutée Et des lèvres couleur abricot Tu voudrais à tout prix ressembler A Marilyn ou à Garbo Fume-cigarettes et talons hauts Avec une robe noire rétro Mais moi, qui te connaît si bien, qui t'aime Ce n'est pas pour ça que je suis avec toi
Baby star, my baby star Tu es tellement plus belle Baby star, ô my baby star Quand tu es naturelle Star, ha-ha-hain
Tirée des romans d'Hemingway Ou sortie d'un film de Fellini Capricieuse comme une reine de Broadway Comédienne par instinct, tu pleures, tu ries Tu séduis, tu t'enfuies dans la nuit Comme un rêve entrevu au hasard d'une rue Mais moi, qui te connaît et qui t'aime aussi Ce n'est pas pour ça que je suis avec toi
Baby star, my baby star Tu es tellement plus belle Baby star, ô my baby star Quand tu es naturelle Star, ha-ha-hain
Cheveux dans le vent Dans une robe couleur pois de senteur C'est ainsi que je t'ai connue C'est comme ça que je veux te garder
Baby star, my baby star Tu es tellement plus belle Baby star, ô my baby star Quand tu es naturelle Star, ha-ha-hain
