Oh baby, after many tears fall from your eyes Though a thousand times you ask yourself why The one guy you love has departed Oh, you're left alone and broken-hearted - ooh Love just comes and it goes How long it's gonna last, said, nobody knows
That's the way love is, baby That's the way love is, sho 'nuff how it is Oh, that's the way love is, sugar - oh yeah That's the way love is, sho 'nuff how it is Oh, that's how it is, oh, that's how it is, my little darlin' - Yeah now
I know you're walkin' down a lonesome road And your heart is carryin' a heavy load I know you feel like you ain't got a friend - you ain't got a friend Oh, and your whole world's cavin' in - cavin' in Oh, but now's the time to be strong - to be strong You gotta forget him now that he's gone - now that he's gone
And remember that's the way love is, honey That's the way love is, sho 'nuff how it is Oh, that's the way love is, baby - oh yeah That's the way love is, sho 'nuff how it is Oh, that's how it is, oh, my little darlin' - Oh baby - ooh
Oh, listen to me, little darlin' The road of love is rough sometime Don't let it get the best of you Said, I've been hurt by love so many times So I know just what you're goin' through Oh, you wish that you were never born You gotta forget him now that he's gone Just remember that's the way love is, baby - ooh That's the way love is, sho 'nuff how it is Oh, that's the way love is, honey - yeah - ooh That's the way love is, sho 'nuff how it is That's how it is, so wipe away your tears
Love is here today and gone tomorrow That's the way love is, sho 'nuff how it is I said, all of your joys turn to sorrow That's the way love is, sho 'nuff how it is Oh, one day gladness and the next day sadness That's the way love is, sugar, how it is...
Cadillac Ranch
Composer(s): Chuck Jones - Chris Waters
Performer(s): Chris LeDoux
Well the well went dry and the cow did too And daddy didn't know what to do The banker came by the house one day He said he's gonna take the farm away Then mama came up with a plan My brother and me started up a band My sister put a sign on the roof And daddy bought a case of 90 proof
There we called it the Cadillac Ranch They're parking cars in the old bean patch There's a bar in the barn and the place stays packed Till the cows come home at Cadillac Ranch
Now the only thing that we raise is cane You don't need the sun or rain Just some neon lights saying some ice cold beer Keeps everything green around here Mama takes the cash at the door My brother and me keep them out on the floor My sister sets them up at the bar And daddy kicks back with a big cigar
There we called it the Cadillac Ranch They're parking cars in the old bean patch There's a bar in the barn and the place stays packed Till the cows come home at Cadillac Ranch
Well we gave all the cows away Now the only horns around here today Are the ones up on the grill Of a genuine '59 Coupe Deville
There we called it the Cadillac Ranch They're parking cars in the old bean patch There's a bar in the barn and the place stays packed Till the cows come home at Cadillac Ranch
There we called it the Cadillac Ranch They're parking cars in the old bean patch There's a bar in the barn and the place stays packed Till the cows come home at Cadillac Ranch
Fais Comme L'Oiseau Composer(s): Antônio Carlos; Jocafi; Pierre Delanoë Performer(s): Michel Fugain
Fais comme l'oiseau Ça vit d'air pur et d'eau fraîche, un oiseau D'un peu de chasse et de pêche, un oiseau Mais jamais rien ne l'empêche, l'oiseau, d'aller plus haut
Mais je suis seul dans l'univers J'ai peur du ciel et de l'hiver J'ai peur des fous et de la guerre J'ai peur du temps qui passe, dis Comment peut on vivre aujourd'hui Dans la fureur et dans le bruit Je ne sais pas, je ne sais plus, je suis perdu
Fais comme l'oiseau Ça vit d'air pur et d'eau fraîche, un oiseau D'un peu de chasse et de pêche, un oiseau Mais jamais rien ne l'empêche, l'oiseau, d'aller plus haut
Mais l'amour dont on m'a parlé Cet amour que l'on m'a chanté Ce sauveur de l'humanité Je n'en vois pas la trace, dis Comment peut on vivre sans lui ? Sous quelle étoile, dans quel pays ? Je n'y crois pas, je n'y crois plus, je suis perdu
Fais comme loiseau Ça vit d'air pur et d'eau fraîche, un oiseau D'un peu de chasse et de pêche, un oiseau Mais jamais rien ne l'empêche, l'oiseau, d'aller plus haut
Mais j'en ai marre d'être roulé Par des marchands de liberté Et d'écouter se lamenter Ma gueule dans la glace, dis Est-ce que je dois montrer les dents ? Est-ce que je dois baisser les bras ? Je ne sais pas, je ne sais plus, je suis perdu
Fais comme l'oiseau Ça vit d'air pur et d'eau fraîche, un oiseau D'un peu de chasse et de pêche, un oiseau Mais jamais rien ne l'empêche, l'oiseau, d'aller plus haut
That's The Way Love Is Composer(s): B.B. King Performer(s): Bobby Bland
Monday so good Tuesday so cruel One day you're so happy now The next day you're in tears
So you take it where you find it Or you leave it like it is That's the way it's al-always been That's the way love is
Wednesday's alright But thursday's all wrong One day you're all with it baby The next day it's all gone
So you'll take it where you find it Or you can leave it like it is That's the way it's al-al-al-ways been That's the way love is
Friday you'll beg her Saturday she'll plead One day she'll say she loves you The next day she might leave
So you'll take find it Or you can leave it like it is That's the way it's always been That's the way love is
It so seems so fair sometime But that's the way love is It makes you wanna cry But that's the way love is ... I know you don't know what I'm talking about baby
Cadillac Man
Composer(s): Jon Bon Jovi - Richie Sambora
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Toute ma vie, j'ai roulé sur des routes incertaines, inhumaines
Pas de valises, pas d'enfants, pas de femmes
Il ne me reste plus aucune chaîne
Dans cette voiture pourrie
Y a des souvenirs d'amours qui sont morts en une nuit
On s'aimait au Texas
On s'aime plus en Californie
Le temps que la route défile
De ville en ville
Je ne sais plus bien ce que j'allais chercher
Et dans la lumière de mes phares, aveuglé
J'ai cru voir, tout mon passé
Qui défilait, halluciné
Je suis rien qu'un fantôme, qui roule le long des routes
Je ressemble à tous ceux que j'ai connus sans doute
Je suis toutes ces filles, ces hommes, ces pauvres mômes
Rien qu'un fantôme
Je suis un menteur, je suis un amant, un loser, un enfant
Un cow-boy, un marin, un bagnard, un gitan
Un cinglé, un poète, une putain, une maman
Je suis rien qu'un fantôme
Dans ma vieille caisse usée, ont brûlé des milliers de cigarettes
Tous les rêves, tous les rires, les amis
Aujourd'hui, qu'est-ce qu'il reste
Ma vie comme un nuage
J'aurai voulu au moins conserver ton image
Je t'ai connue à Phoenix
Je t'ai perdue à Vegas
Le temps que la route se passe
De ville en ville
De ville en ville
Dans mes phares
J'en ai tant vu filer
J'en ai tant connu que je mélange, filles d'hôtels
Types étranges
Tous les démons
Et tous les anges
Et toutes mes fautes
Je suis rien qu'un fantôme, qui roule le long des routes
Je ressemble à tous ceux que j'ai connus sans doute
Je suis toutes ces filles, ces hommes, ces pauvres mômes
Rien qu'un fantôme
Je suis un menteur, je suis un amant, un loser, un enfant
Un cow-boy, un marin, un bagnard, un gitan
Un cinglé, un poète, une putain, une maman
Je suis rien qu'un fantôme
Rien qu'un fantôme
Je suis rien qu'un fantôme
Je suis toutes ces filles, ces hommes, ces pauvres mômes
Rien qu'un fantôme
Toute la nuit j'ai compté les chemins parcourus, le temps perdu
Je savais plus qui j'étais
Où j'étais, quand le matin est venu
Et le moteur s'est tu
Et je suis sorti pour voir ma Cadillac foutue
Et ça m'a fait marrer, cette pauvre chose, délabrée
Qui ressemblait à mon passé
Je suis rien qu'un fantôme, qui roule le long des routes
Je ressemble à tous ceux que j'ai connus sans doute
Je suis toutes ces filles, ces hommes, ces pauvres mômes
Rien qu'un fantôme
Je suis un menteur, je suis un amant, un loser, un enfant
Un cow-boy, un marin, un bagnard, un gitan
Un cinglé, un poète, une putain, une maman
Je suis rien qu'un fantôme
Rien qu'un fantôme
Rien qu'un fantôme
Je ne suis rien qu'un fantôme
Rien qu'un fantôme
Les gueules de bois carabinées Les lendemains de cuite Il faut toujours boire le dernier Si on t'invite De verres en bouteilles De nuits blanches sans sommeil
Fais ce que je dis pas ce que je fais Fais ce que je dis pas ce que je fais Fais ce que je dis Si tu fais comme moi, tu es fou Tu es fou
Les cigarettes sont comme les filles Plus ou moins bien roulées Et quand elles montent à la tête Tu vois dans la fumée Des images insensées De ton propre ciné
Fais ce que je dis pas ce que je fais Fais ce que je dis pas ce que je fais Fais ce que je dis Si tu fais comme moi, tu es fou Tu es fou
Ces pilules de toutes les couleurs Et la poudre magique Te font nager dans un bonheur Un peu chimique De voyage en voyage On en revient toujours
Fais ce que je dis pas ce que je fais Fais ce que je dis pas ce que je fais Fais ce que je dis Si tu fais comme moi, tu es fou Tu es fou
Fais ce que je dis pas ce que je fais Fais ce que je dis pas ce que je fais Fais ce que je dis pas ce que je fais
Tu es fou Tu es fou Tu es fou
Fais ce que je dis pas ce que je fais Fais ce que je dis pas ce que je fais
Thats The Way Love Goes Composer(s): Lefty Frizzell - Whitey Shafer Performer(s): Anne Murray and multiple other artists
I've been throwing horseshoes Over my left shoulder I've spent most all my life Searching for that four-leafed clover Yet, you ran with me Chasing my rainbows Honey, I love you too That's the way love goes
That's the way love goes, babe That's the music Gods made For all the world to sing It's never old; it grows Losing makes me sorry You say, "Honey, don't you worry" Don't you know I love you too That's the way love goes
That's the way love goes, babe That's the music God made For all the world to sing It's never old, it grows Losin makes me sorry You say, "Honey, don't you worry" Don't you know I love you too That's the way love goes Don't you know I love you too That's the way love goes

Fairytale Composer(s): Anita Pointer; Bonnie Pointer Performer(s): The Pointer Sisters; Elvis Presley
I'll pack up all my things and walk away I don't want to hear another word you have to say I've been waiting for so long And just found out there's something wrong Nothing will get better if I stay There's no need to explain anymore I tried my best to love you Now I'm walkin' out the door (Walkin' out the door) You used me, you deceived me And you never seem to need me But I bet, you won't forget me when I go Oh no, no, no
Seems I've been lost in a dream Pretending that you care But now I've opened up my eyes And found it's all been just a great big fairy-tale I've been lovin' you so long Don't think I even know how to forget you But now the way that things have been I think I'm better off alone than to be with you You don't love me it's plain to see
There's no need to explain anymore I tried my best to love you Now I'm walkin' out the door (Walkin' out the door) Ahh, you used me, you deceived me And you never seem to need me But I'll bet you won't forget me when I go Oh no, no, no
Seems I've been lost in a dream Pretending you were mine Someday you'll open up your eyes And realize that a good woman's hard to find Yes I've been lost in a dream Pretending that you care But now I've opened up my eyes And found it's all been just a great big fairy-tale
That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be Composer(s): Jacob Brackman - Carly Simon Performer(s): Carly Simon
My father sits at night with no lights on His cigarette glows in the dark The living room is still I walk by, no remark I tiptoe past the master bedroom where My mother reads her magazines I hear her call sweet dreams But I forgot how to dream
But you say it's time we moved in together And raised a family of our own, you and me Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be You want to marry me, we'll marry
My friends from college they're all married now They have their houses and their lawns They have their silent noons Tearful nights, angry dawns Their children hate them for the things they're not They hate themselves for what they are And yet they drink, they laugh Close the wound, hide the scar
But you say it's time we moved in together And raised a family of our own, you and me Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be You want to marry me, we'll marry
You say we can keep our love alive Babe - all I know is what I see The couples cling and claw And drown in love's debris You say we'll soar like two birds through the clouds But soon you'll cage me on your shelf I'll never learn to be just me first By myself
Well O.K., it's time we moved in together And raised a family of our own, you and me Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be You want to marry me, we'll marry We'll marry

Fairytale Composer(s): Paul Greedus Performer(s): Dana
Imagine what a fool you're gonna make of me Just think of what you're doin' to my pride You run around and love a lot And never know the good you've got Or where you go or where you've been But don't you know you're living in a fairytale I do believe that you believe your fairytale Imagining it's happening, they do come true But you and only you alone believe they do
You're walkin' on a tightrope, but you'd better know There's no one here to catch you if you fall But I understand what's in your mind And how you're waiting right behind I should have known it from the start I'd only be another part of your fairytale I do believe that you believe your fairytale Imagining it's happening, they do come true But you and only you alone believe they do
Oh, fairytale I do believe that you believe your fairytale Imagining it's happening, they do come true But you and only you alone believe they do
Fairytale I do believe that you believe your fairytale Imagining it's happening, they do come true But you and only you alone believe they do
You keep on doin' it, fairytale I do believe that you believe your fairytale Imagining it's happening But you and only you alone believe they do
Ring a ring o' rosies A pocketful of posies They do come true.......

Marie Laforêt: Hier soir, dans la cuisine je préparais le dîner, quand mon petit garçon est entré Il m'a tendu un morceau de papier griffonné J'ai essuyé mes mains sur mon tablier et je l'ai lu Et voici ce qu'il disait
L'enfant: Pour avoir fait mon lit toute la semaine 3 francs Pour avoir été aux commissions 1 franc Pour avoir surveillé le bébé pendant que toi tu allais aux commissions 1 franc 25 Pour avoir descendu la corbeille à papiers 75 centimes Pour avoir remonté la corbeille à papiers 1 franc et 10 centimes Pour avoir arrosé les fleurs sur le balcon 25 centimes Total 9 francs et 85 centimes
Marie Laforêt: Je l'ai regardé, il se tortillait en mâchant son crayon et une foule de souvenirs sont revenus à ma mémoire Alors j'ai repris son crayon, j'ai retourné la feuille et voilà ce que j'ai écrit
Marie Laforêt: Pour neuf mois de patience et douze heures de souffrance Cadeau Pour tant de nuits de veille, surveillant ton sommeil Cadeau Pour les tours de manège, les jouets, le collège Cadeau Et quand on fait le tour, le total de mon amour C'est Cadeau
Marie Laforêt: Quand il a eu fini de lire, il avait un gros chagrin dans les yeux Il a levé la tête et a dit
"M'Man, je t'aime très beaucoup"
Il a repris son papier, l'a retourné, et en grosses, grosses lettres, a marqué
"Cadeau"
Marie Laforêt: Et quand on fait le tour, le total de l'amour C'est Cadeau, C'est Cadeau
Fairly In The Money Now Composer(s): Tommy Tate; The Torpedoes Performer(s): The Undertones
Tommy always said he'd make it one day Lead singer in a top show band So with some friends made up tunes to play Tommy Tate and the Torpedoes began
Soon they were the rave of all the high school hops And satin suits all dressed to kill Soon Tommy's boys became top of the pops But then the money came over the hill But then the money came over the hill
All the cash to spend on their girlfriends Howard Hughes is missed a turn there And then their interests Are manager's requests They all bought their ranches
Hypnotised by every part that arrived Higher prices for indifferent songs But never the less Tommy's into success So his Torpedoes kept plodding on And his Torpedoes kept plodding on
That's The Way Composer(s): Alan Blaikley - K. Howard Performer(s): The Honeycombs
That's the way we should begin it Take my hand I lead you oh so gently That's the way you set me dreaming That's the way I hit the ceiling With your size and in your eyes I see that that's the way we'll fall in love
Tell me (tell me) That you really love me (I love you) Tell me you really need me So I am sure
That's the way you set me singing That's the way are those bells ringing Though you're shy you know I really wants you All the way don't keep me waiting No delay, no, no, no hesitating Here we go just keep on holding tight And that's the way we'll fall in love
Tell me (tell me) That you really love me (I love you) Tell me you really need me So I am sure
That's the way there's nothing in it That's the way we should begin it Take my hand I lead you oh so gently That's the way we'll fall in love We'll fall in love We'll fall in love
