Marriage Type Love Composer(s): Richard Rodgers - Oscar Hammerstein II Performer(s): Tommy Steele and multiple other artists
No, she's not the first girl I've met But she's the only one I could ever settle down with I'm not kiddin', I mean it You know, it's funny how you go through life, meetin' all sorts o' diff'rent girls Then all of a sudden, one comes along and you know, you just know...
When first I set my longing eyes on you I saw my future shining in your face And when you smiled an murmured, "How d'ya do?" The room became a dream enchanted place
The chandaliers were shooting stars The drums and horns and soft guitars Were soundin' more like nightingales The window curtains blew like sails And I was floatin' just above the floor Feelin' slightly taller than before
Out of nowhere came the feeling Cue the feeling, a marriage type love We were dancing and her eyelash Blinked on my lash, a marriage type love
We made a date, couldn't wait for my day off Now it's a thing, with a ring for the pay-off Well, I'm her pigeon, through with roaming Now I'm homing, to marriage type love and her
I'd like to tell you a secret I just keep on seein' her, even when she's not there, she just seems to appear from out of nowhere, it's marvellous...
We were dancing and her eyelash It blinked on my lash, a marriage type love
We made a date and we couldn't wait then for my day off Now it is a thing, and it's with a ring for the pay-off I am her pigeon, through with roaming Now I'm homing to marriage type love and her!
I Didn't Mean To Love You Composer(s): Arthur Butler; Karen Philipp Performer(s): Helen Reddy; Freddy Cole; Dionne Warwick
Sunday Morning waking up and touching you You're always warm at 9 a.m Pillows close and I can feel you wanting me When I go back to sleep again
I didn't mean to love you And I never meant to care But I guess I never noticed Just how often you were there
Walking on and talking till the sun went down You kept me warm with just your eyes Seems that all we wanted just came naturally We never even had to try
I didn't mean to love you Didn't want to let it show No I never meant to tell you I'm just too proud to let on
Bring back the days when we could talk away our troubles Don't tell me things have changed so much Please take the time you know it's not so hard to do Unless there's nothing left to say I guess there's nothing left to say
I didn't mean to love you But I guess I always will Yes you'll always be inside me Kinda warm and soft and still I didn't mean to need you and I didn't want to cry I never meant to loose you I never meant good-bye
It cuts me deep And it cuts me wide This gut rock feelin' I get inside And I blame you But it's really me Can't rid myself Of jealousy
When I'm away And you're at home I don't believe You're on your own It's my foolish Insecurity Can't rid myself Of jealousy
Jealousy As thick as mud It's in my veins It's in my blood Jealousy It's plain to see I love you more Than you love me
It get's me so I can't sleep at night I walk the floor In the pale moonlight Yes, I blame you But it's really me Can't rid myself Of jealousy
Jealousy It's thick as mud It's in my veins It's in my blood Jealousy It's plain to see I love you more Than you love me, baby
Jealousy It's thick as mud It's in my veins It's in my blood Jealousy It's plain to see I love you so much It's killin' me, baby
Jealousy It's thick as mud It's in my veins It's in my blood Jealously It's plain to see I love you more Than you love me You'll be the death of me, baby
To Do With Love Composer(s): Tony Hicks - Kenny Lynch Performer(s): The Hollies
Next time I meet a girl, I won't ask her her name Or where she's been, or where she came from The last time I found love it only brought me pain The problems almost took me over
I was washing up for mother, I was lighting pipes for papa And fetching water And that's got nothing at all, that's got nothing at all To do with love
Next time I meet a girl I won't tell her my name Or where I've been Or where I came from
I'll take a hold of her And love her just the same No need to mention past acquaintances
I just want someone to love me And someone to like the presents That I bought her 'Cause that's got something to do Yes, that's got something to do To do with love
Each girl I meet comes up wronger And I can't take it all much longer No, I can't no
Next time I meet a girl I won't tell her my name Or where I've been Or where I came from
I'll take a hold of her And love her just the same No need to mention past acquaintances
I just want someone to love me And someone to like the presents That I bought her 'Cause that's got something to do Yes, that's got something to do To do with love
I Didn't Know What Time It Was Composer(s): Richard Rogers; Lorenz Hart First performance by: Marcy Westcott and Richard Kollmar - 1939 Covered by multiple other artists
Once I was young, yesterday, perhaps Danced with Jim and Paul and kissed some other chaps Once I was young, but never was naive I thought I had a trick or two up my imaginary sleeve And now I know I was naive
I didn't know what time it was Then I met you Oh, what a lovely time it was How sublime it was too!
I didn't know what day it was Then you held my hand Warm like the month of May it was And I'll say it was grand
Grand to be alive, to be young To be mad, to be yours alone Grand to see your face, feel your touch Hear your voice say I'm all your own
I didn't know what year it was Life was no prize I wanted love and here it was Shining out of your eyes
Once I was old, twenty years or so Rather well preserved, the wrinkles didn't show Once I was old, but not too old for fun I used to hunt for little girls up my imaginary gun But now I ain't for only one
I'm wise and I know what time it is now I'm wise and I know what time it is now I'm so wise and I know what time it is now
Jealousy French Title: Jalousie Composer(s): Jacob Gade; Vera Bloom Performer(s): Frankie Laine; and various other artists
Jealousy, night and day you torture me I sometimes wonder, if this spell that I'm under Can only be a melody, for I know no one but me Has won your heart, but when the music starts
My peace departs from the moment they play that lovely strain And we surrender to all it's charm again This jealousy that tortures me, is ecstasy, mystery, pain
We dance to a tango of love Your heart beats with mine as we sway You eyes give the answer I'm dreaming of That soft word your cruel lips will never say
I fear that the music will end And shatter the spell it may lend To make me believe, when your eyes just deceive But it's only the tango you love
I feal that the music will end And shatter the spell it may lend To make me believe, when your eyes just deceive And, it's only the tango you love

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
