Waarom laat je me nu toch zo alleen Voor `t eerst was ik vanavond nummer Eén Je zei ik hou van jou wel duizend keer Maar nu ben ik toch weer alleen
Toch weet ik je heb al spijt Omdat jij nu niet begrijpt Dat ik zoveel van je hou ik Wil nooit een andere vrouw
Ja ik dacht alleen aan jou Ik gaf je liefde en m`n trouw Je mag denken wat je wil schat Ik hou van jou
Het kost jou toch geen moeite want ik ben niets Een dure Rols voor jou voor mij een oude fiets Vergeet maar niet wat jezelf bent geweest Waarom waarom ben ik weer alleen
Toch voel ik je hebt al spijt Omdat jij nu niet begrijpt Dat ik zoveel van je hou ik Wil nooit een andere vrouw
Je gaf me alles wat ik wou Al je liefde en je trouw Je mag denken wat je wil schat Ik hou van jou
Toch voel ik je hebt al spijt Omdat jij nu niet begrijpt Dat ik zoveel van je hou ik Wil nooit een andere vrouw
Je gaf me alles wat ik wou Al je liefde en je trouw Je mag denken wat je wil schat Ik hou van jou
I Didn't Know About You Composer(s): Duke Ellington; Bob Russell First release by: Jo Stafford and The Pied Pipers with Paul Weston & His Orch. - 1944 Covered by multiple other artists
I went around with my own little croud The usual laughs, not often but loud And in the world that I knew I didn't know about you Chasing after the ring on the merry-go-round Just taking my fun where it could be found And yet what else could I do I didn't know about you Darling, now I know I had the loneliest yesterday Ev'ry day In your arms I know for once in my life I'm living Had a good time ev'ry time I went out Romance was the thing I kidded about How could I know about love I didn't know about you
Jealous Of You Italian Title: Tango Della Gelosia Composer(s): Marjorie Harper; Vito Mascheroni; Peppino Mendes Performer(s): Connie Francis; Lou Monte
Your eyes may thrill me with gladness And tell me you`re true, dear Yet thoughts still fill me with sadness And what can I do, dear
I wonder if you are free I wonder if you are free
Do you belong just to me I`m always jealous of you, dear I`m not to be I am jealous of you, darling Why am I so jealous, darling Sad are the fancies that throng Through my heart everyday Lest someone else come along Who can steal you away All your beauty I would own I would have you mine alone Fear that someday we may part Still consumes me with pain What would become of my heart If I loved you in vain

Versions In Other Languages: 1972 - To Die Of Love (Charles Aznavour) 2002 - Ik Hou Van Jou (André Hazes)
Sento sfuggirmi dalle dita Ogni appiglio della vita E sò già come finirò Morire d'amore Visto che il mondo mi accusa Ogni altra via resta chiusa Non saprai quando me ne andrò Morire d'amore
Morire d'amore, il mio unico giorno con te Pagarlo al prezzo più alto che c'è Ma chi mi capirà non mi condannerà La gente è piena di problemi Piccole idee, soliti schemi Entro cui io non entrerò Morire d'amore
Per amare te fino in fondo Posso dire basta al mondo E sarà logico per me Morire d'amore Ormai sulla mia vita è scesa La rabbia triste della resa Ma non sò rinunciare a te Morire d'amore
Morire d'amore, andar via senza tanti perchè Dove posso portare con me Solo ciò che eravamo noi due E che eri tu Non ci sarà un altro incontro Tu eri l'alba ed io il tramonto Me ne andrò rimpiangendo te Morire d'amore Morire d'amore Morire d'amore
I Did What I Could With My Gas Mask Composer(s): Isaacs; Leslie Performer(s): George Formby
Now I'm getting very fond of my gasmask I declare It hardly ever leaves my side I sling it on my back and I take it everywhere It even comes to bed at night
It's been a real good pal to me I must confess And helped me out of many a mess My sister had a lot of socks to mend So she gave me a fat bouncing baby to tend And when I felt it leaking at one end Well I did what I could with my gas mask
I bought a farm because I like fresh air At milking time a try to do my share And when I found the bucket wasn't there I did what I could with my gasmask
The lady living next door, Mrs. Hicks She heard the sirens blow one morn at ten to six She dashed outside in nothing but her nicks But she knew what to do with her gasmask
By train I went for a very tiring ride There wasn't any corridor outside And when I felt the turning of the tide Well I did what I could with my gasmask
To see old Epstein's Adam in the nude I once thought I'd go with my Aunt Ermintrude And when she sniffed and said 'Uh!' how very rude Still he knows what to do with his gas mask
For years I've courted Anabella Price And always found her just as cold as ice Until one night the lass forgot her ma's advice Then I did what I could with my gasmask
Jealous Minds Composer(s): Kevin Hayes; Jimmy Pugh Performer(s): Robert Cray Band
Some people live to ruin a love so fine They know they'll never have what's yours and mine I know things won't get any better while we're apart So stop talking to your friends, and try listening with your heart
They always try to tell you all that they see Jealous minds will tell you what they think about me They'll show themselves in time To be nothing but jealous minds
I took you out to a party, a high-class afair You were talking to your friends, like I wasn't there You told them that living with me has really been one big chore Oh, then maybe I should leave, and you'd appreciate me more
They always try to tell you all that they see Jealous minds will tell you what they think about me They'll show themselves in time To be nothing but jealous minds
Oh, tell your friends when you see them When you see them again Tell them about the hard times, how we survived the pain Then don't waste any more time Because they're nothing but jealous minds
Jealous minds Ohhhh, they're nothing but jealous minds Hey, hey Jealous minds Hey, hey Jealous minds Always trying to tell you what they think of me Hey, hey, hey Jealous minds

Versions In Other Languages: 1971 - Morire D'amore (Charles Aznavour) 2002 - Ik Hou Van Jou (André Hazes)
I reach to touch the walls around me The shadows of the night surround me Alone I face my destiny: to die of love
They say our love has been forbidden but what we feel can not be hidden It's very possible, you see, to die of love It's very possible, you see, to die of love
How to live far forever with you just to live life together with you that's the choice that I make and a chance I must take To live, my love must find expression and so I make my last confession without you it's my destiny, to die of love This world of ours does not grow younger some die of illness, some of hunger I stand before eternity, to die of love
That's why I try to find a way now I only live from day to day now and yet it's possible you see, to die of love and yet it's possible you see, to die of love
How to live far forever with you just to live life together with you that's the choice that I make and a chance I must take I hear their whispers when they see us If all their words condemn or free us I wonder will they sentence me? To die of love To die of love To die of love

While she watches the late show on the TV I'm watchin' some girl I just met take down her hair At home she's turnin' down the bed and fluffin' pillows While I wonder will I stay here when I should be there
To cheat or not to cheat, that's the question That's been runnin' through my mind all evenin' long To cheat or not to cheat, what's the answer Should I stay with her or should I go home
While she's standin' by the window watchin' for me Another stands by me just two steps away My mind can see her in the blue gown I bought for her But my eyes are fixed on a see through negligee
To cheat or not to cheat, that's the question That's been runnin' through my mind all evenin' long To cheat or not to cheat, what's the answer Should I stay with her or should I go home
While she makes another midnight pot of coffee We're mixin' up just one last glass of gin And before I even cheat I'm feelin' guilty And gin can't dim these butterflies within
To cheat or not to cheat that's the question That's been runnin' through my mind all evenin' long To cheat or not to cheat what's the answer Now I'm pullin' in my driveway here at home
Jealous Heart Composer(s): Jenny Lou Carson Performer(s): Tex Ritter; and various other artists
Jealous Heart, Oh, Jealous Heart stop beating Can't you see the damage you have done You have driven him/her away forever Jealous Heart, now I'm the lonely one
I was part of ev'rything he/she planned for And I know he/she loved me at the start Now he/she hates the sight of all I stand for All because of you, old Jealous Heart
Jealous Heart, why did I let you lead me When I knew the end would bring me pain Now he's/she's gone, he's/she's gone and found another Oh, I'll never see my love again
Through the years his/her memory will haunt me Even though we're many miles apart It's so hard to know he'll/she'll never want me 'Cause he/she heard your beating Jealous Heart
Many times I trusted you to guide me But your guiding only brought me tears Why oh why must I have you inside me Jealous Heart, for all my lonely years
Love Woman Composer(s): Douglas Legrand - Kenny Rogers
Performer(s): Kenny Rogers & The First Edition
(Love woman, keep your love light on)
Oh-oh (Love woman, keep your love light on)
Before I come back to Jacksonville
Pick up the telephone
Call that sweet young woman child
Tell her I'll be coming back home
(Love woman, keep your love light on)
(Love woman, keep your love light on)
You know I got pride and I ached inside
When I walked out the door
I've had the time to straighten my mind
Ain't gonna leave you no more
(Love woman, keep your love light on)
(Love woman, keep your love light on)
(Love woman, keep your love light on)
(Love woman, keep your love light on)
Started to rain, I went through some changes
You couldn't understand
I know I was wrong, I want to come home
I don't want to be no trouble, mama, I just want to be your man
(Love woman, keep your love light on)
(Love woman, keep your love light on)
I Cried For You Composer(s): Gus Arnheim; Arthur Freed; Abe Lyman First release by: Benny Krueger & His Orch. (instrumental) - 1923 Covered by multiple other artists
I remember other days, how I used to weep Over things you said to me, I couldn't even sleep You forgot your promises ev'ry single vow All you did was laugh at me but things are diff'rent now
I cried for you Now it's your turn to cry over me Ev'ry road has a turning That's one thing you're learning
I cried for you What a fool I used to be Now I found two eyes just a little bit bluer I found a heart just a little bit truer
I cried for you Now it's your turn to cry over me
How can I forget the hours that I worried through Wondering the live-long day just what next thing to do In those days you never thought anything of me But the slave that was all yours and now at last is free
I cried for you Now it's your turn to cry over me Ev'ry road has a turning That's one thing you're learning
I cried for you What a fool I used to be Now I found two eyes just a little bit bluer I found a heart just a little bit truer
Mine is a jealous heart Imagines things that never are Builds a fire from a tiny spark But that's the way of a jealous heart
Sunny skies and a rosy bed Thorns and storm clouds up ahead 'Cause suddenly the sky turns dark For those of us with a jealous heart
Imagination runnin' wild Like a frantic frightened child Any time that we're apart I can't control my jealous heart
And you know mine is a jealous heart And every hurt leaves a lasting scar Don't you hate yourself for the fool you are When you're cursed with a jealous heart
I love you more than words can tell One day's heaven two days hell Suspicious words like poison darts Spoken from my jealous heart
Mine is a jealous heart Imagines things that never are Builds a fire from a tiny spark But that's the way of a jealous heart
And you know mine, you know mine is a jealous heart And every hurt, and every hurt leaves a lasting scar Don't you hate yourself for the fool you are When you're cursed with a jealous heart
And you know mine, you know mine is a jealous heart Imagines things, imagines things that never are Builds a fire from a tiny spark But that's the way of a jealous heart
To Bobby Composer(s): Joan Baez Performer(s): Joan Baez
I'll put flowers at your feet And I will sing to you so sweet And hope my words will carry home to your heart You left us marching on the road And said how heavy was the load The years were young, the struggle barely at its start
Do you hear the voices in the night, Bobby They're crying for you See the children in the morning light, Bobby They're dying
No one could say it like you said it We'd only try and just forget it You sood alone upon the mountain 'til it was sinking And in a frenczy we tried to reach you With looks and letters we would beseech you Never knowing what, where or how you were thinking
Do you hear the voices in the night, Bobby They're crying for you See the children in the morning light, Bobby They're dying
Perhaps the pictures in the Times Could no longer be put in rhymes When all the eyes of starving children are wide open You cast aside the cursed crown And put your magic into a sound That made me think your heart was aching, or even broken
But if God hears my complaint He will forgive you And so will I, in all respect, I'll just relive you And likewise you must understand the things we give you
Like these flowers at yur door And scribbled notes about the war We're only saying that time is short and there is work to do And we're stilll marching on the streets With little victories and big defeats But there is joy, and there is hope, and there's a place for you
Do you hear the voices in the night, Bobby They're crying for you See the children in the morning light, Bobby They're dying
I Cried A Tear Composer(s): Al Julia; Fred Jacobson Performer(s): LaVern Baker and multiple other artists
I cried a tear because of you I cried a tear because we're through I cried a tear what else could I do But cry and sigh for love of you
I felt a tear fall in my heart You fooled me so I wasn't smart I can't believe that we must part Come back to stay let's make a new start
I cried a tear because of you I cried a tear because we're through Please make my dream of you come true Don't make me cry a tear for you Don't make me cry a tear for you
