Nothing Compares To You Composer(s): Prince Performer(s): Prince
Its been seven hours and fifteen days Since you took your love away I go out every night and sleep all day Since you took your love away Sice youve been gone, I can do whatever I want I can see whoever I choose I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant But nothing, I said nothing can take away these blues Because nothing compares, nothing compares to you
Its been so lonely without you here Like a bird without a song Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling Tell me baby, where did I go wrong? I can put my arms around every boy I see But they only remind me of you
I went to the doctor and guess what he told me, guess what he told me He said, Girl, youd better try to have some fun no matter what you do But hes a fool Because nothing compares to you
All the flowers that you planted momma, in the backyard All died and withered away I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard But Im willing to try to give it another try
Nothing compared, nothing compares to you Nothing compared, nothing compares to you Nothing compared, nothing compares to you
Nothing Can Change This Love Composer(s): Sam Cooke Performer(s): Sam Cooke; and various other artists
If I go a million miles away I'd write a letter each and every day 'Cause honey, nothin' Nothin' can ever change this love I have for you, ooo Make me weep and you can make me cry See me comin' and you can pass me by But honey, nothin' Nothin' can ever change this love I have for you, wo oh
You're the apple of my eye, you're cherry pie And oh yeah, you're cake and ice cream Oh you're sugar and spice and everything nice You're the girl of my my my my dreams But if you wanted to leave me and roam When you got back, I'd just say welcome home 'Cause honey, nothin', nothin' Nothin' can ever change this love I have for you, no oh
(Instrumental Break)
I know I know I know I know I know that nothin', nothin' Nothin' can ever change the love I have for you
Nothing But Heartaches Composer(s): Brian Holland;
Lamont Dozier; Edward Holland Jr. Performer(s): Diana Ross & The Supremes
Nothing but heartaches Ooh, nothing but heartaches He brings nothing but heartaches I can't break away from his arms I can't break away from his charms I can't break away from his kiss 'Cause his kiss I'll shouldn't miss
All my life I needed someone to need me So I do my very best to please him But the more and more I care The more of him other girls share When I need a hand to hold That's the time he leaves me all alone Just keeps me, keeps me crying myself to sleep
He brings nothing but heartaches Ooh, nothing but heartaches But I can't break away Oh, no keep a loving him more each day Oh, I can't break away from his arms I can't break away from his charms I can't break away from his kiss 'Cause his kiss I'll shouldn't miss
To him I'm loyal, to him I'm true Why can't he be the same way too But the more my love has grown The less love he had shown
He makes promisses he doesn't keep Sometimes I don't see him all week Just keeps me, keeps me crying myself to sleep
He brings nothing but heartaches Ooh, nothing but heartaches But I can't break away Oh, no keep a loving him more each day Oh, I can't break away from his arms I can't break away from his charms I can't break away from his kiss 'Cause his kiss I'll shouldn't miss
Nothing but heartaches Ooh, nothing but heartaches I can't break away, oh no Keep a loving him more each day
Nothin' Shakin' Performer(s): Craig Douglas & Doug Sheldon; The Beatles
I tried to find out what love is all about and every day it sure lets out I see my baby I get week in my knees There's nothing shaking but the leaves on the trees My pappie told me there'd be times like these There's nothing shaking but the leaves on the trees We meet the gang and go to rocking Joes The cats are something on the heels and toes I grab my baby tried to give her a squeeze There's nothing shaking but the leaves on the trees Why must she be such a doggone tease? There's nothing shaking but the leaves on the trees She's got a way that makes me act like a fool Spent my money then she plays me cool I beg her for kisses on my bended knees Oh won't you give me some loving, baby please please please Though I keep trying hard to make her mine one day the wind will blow and the sun will shine Till that time she puts my heart at ease There's nothing shaking but the leaves on the trees She locked my heart and threw away the keys There's nothing shaking but the leaves on the trees, yeah She's got a way that makes me act like a fool Spent my money then she plays me cool I'm begging her for kisses on my bended knees Oh won't you give me some of your loving, baby please please please Though I keep trying hard to make her mine one day the wind will blow and the sun will shine Till that time she puts my heart at ease There's nothing shaking but the leaves on the trees She locked my heart and threw away the keys There's nothing shaking but the leaves on the trees There's nothing shaking but the leaves on the trees There's nothing shaking but the leaves on the trees There's nothing shaking but the leaves on the trees
Nothin' But You Composer(s): Steve Earle Performer(s): Steve Earle; Hillbilly Moon Explosion; Robin Lee
Daddy used to tell me "Don't you drag your feet" "Never seen a good intention that a man could eat" Well, I got about a million things I need to do I don't wanna think about nothin' but you
Everybody talk about Maybellene Yellow Rose Of Texas and the Sweet Sixteen Well, I don't wanna hear about no Peggy Sue I don't wanna think about nothin' but you
I don't need no money, no fancy car House up on the hill where all the rich folks are Well, they can have the whiskey, keep the cocaine, too I don't wanna think about nothin' but you
Everybody talk about Maybellene Yellow Rose Of Texas and the Sweet Sixteen Well, I don't wanna hear about no Peggy Sue I don't wanna think about nothin' but you
Everybody talk about Maybellene Yellow Rose Of Texas and the Sweet Sixteen Well, I don't wanna hear about no Peggy Sue I don't wanna think about nothin' but you
Nothin' At All Composer(s): Mark Mueller Performer(s): Heart
I would walk home every evening Through the pyramids of light I would feed myself on silence Wash it down with empty nights
Then your innocent distractions Hit me so hard My emotional reaction Caught me off guard
It was nothing at all Like anything I had felt before And it was nothing at all Like I thought no it's so much more No one else has ever made Me feel this way When I asked you how you did it You just say It was nothing at all
Now I walk home every evening And my feet are quick to move Cause I know my destination Is a warm and waiting you
From our first communication It was clear Any thought of moderation Would soon disappear
It was nothing at all Like anything I had felt before And it was nothing at all Like I thought no, it's so much more No one else has ever made Me feel this way when I asked you how you did it You just sayIt was nothing at all
Then your innocent distractions Hit me so hard My emotional reaction Caught me off guard
It was nothing at all Like anything I had felt before And it was nothing at all Like I thought no, it's so much more No one else has ever made Me feel this way When I asked you how you did it You just say It was nothing at all
It was nothing at all It was nothing at all It was nothing at all It was nothing at all It was nothing at all It was nothing at all
I cannot see what need there can be For any other people in the world but you and me Yes, go where we may They get in our way I wish we could contrive it Now and then to get a word in private!
Each time I start to pour out my heart Some tactless person comes along and we are driven apart Life might be, my pet A lovely duet But all these folks who bore us Seem to think that we require a chorus
Oh dear! won't it just be splendid In the time that's coming soon When, this weary waiting ended We start our honeymoon None near us to see or hear us The whole wide world we will forget Oh, what joy to stay in your arms all day But not yet um-m Not yet
Not To Touch The Earth Composer(s): John Densmore; Robbie Krieger; Ray Manzarek; Jim Morrison Performer(s): The Doors
Not to touch the earth Not to see the sun Nothing left to do, but Run, run, run Let's run Let's run
House upon the hill Moon is lying still Shadows of the trees Witnessing the wild breeze C'mon baby run with me Let's run
Run with me Run with me Run with me Let's run
The mansion is warm, at the top of the hill Rich are the rooms and the comforts there Red are the arms of luxuriant chairs And you won't know a thing till you get inside
Dead president's corpse in the driver's car The engine runs on glue and tar Come on along, not goin' very far To the East to meet the Czar
Run with me Run with me Run with me Let's run
Whoa!
Some outlaws lived by the side of a lake The minister's daughter's in love with the snake Who lives in a well by the side of the road Wake up, girl, we're almost home
Ya, c'mon!
We should see the gates by mornin' We should be inside the evenin'
Sun, sun, sun Burn, burn, burn Soon, soon, soon Moon, moon, moon I will get you Soon! Soon! Soon!
Not Over You Yet Composer(s): Malik Pendelton; Kenneth "Wally" Kelly Performer(s): Diana Ross
You were the first who ever brought me out Showed me what life and love was all about Gave me things that I never need You're in my thoughts, my every dream
I found joy in your touch, I miss your kisses The way you made me blush Life is cruel now that you're gone I love you so I can't let go, yeah
Not over you yet Not trying to forget The way that you loved me Not over you yet Not trying to forget The way that you loved me
I hate you so for what you done to me Made me fall in love with no security I gotta move on move on my life But it's so hard when you're still on my mind
I found joy in your touch I miss your kisses the way you made me blush Life is cruel now that you're gone I love you so I can't let go I'm crazy for you
Not over you yet Not trying to forget The way that you loved me Not over you yet Not trying to forget The way that you loved me
Not over you yet Not trying to forget The way that you loved me Not over you yet Not trying to forget The way that you loved me
I miss your kisses I miss your touch I'm crazy for you
Not over you yet Not trying to forget The way that you loved me Not over you yet Not trying to forget The way that you loved me
Not over you yet Not trying to forget The way that you loved me Not over you yet Not trying to forget The way that you loved me
Not yet Not over you yet Not trying to forget The way that you loved me Not over you yet Not trying to forget The way that you loved me
Not One Minute More Composer(s): Don Robertson;
Hal Blair; Lucille "Lou" Dinning Performer(s): Della Reese; Earl Grant; The Isley Brothers; Don Robertson
I'll only love you as long as the sea rolls on endlessly to the shore I'll love you til then Not one minute more
I'll only love you til there's only night and the sun the sun gives no light as before I'm gonna love you til then Not one minute more

I'll only love you as long as the beat the beat of my heart can rest me still once more I can love you til then Not one minute more I know I can love you til then Not one minute more
Not Mine (aka It's Somebody Else's Moon Above, Not Mine) Composer(s): Victor Schertzinger; Johnny Mercer Performer(s): Peggy Lee; and various other artists
It's somebody else's moon above, not mine It's somebody else's night for love, not mine A heart to someone else is a thing that melts To me it's just a comic Valentine Let somebody else's tear be shed, not mine Let somebody else's nose get red, not mine I like playing solitaire But until I can draw a pair It's somebody else's moon up there, not mine
Not Me Composer(s): King Radio; Don Raye Performer(s): Robert Mitchum
Lets put woman and man together To find out which one is smarter Some say men, but I say No The women play the men like a puppet show
Not me it is the people who say That the men are leading the women astray But I say that the women of today Smarter than men in every way Theyre smart theyre clever chicks Theyre smart with crazy tricks They got no mercy in their heart Theyre smart intelligent
Ever since the world began Woman was always fooling man And if you listen to me, attentively I want to show you how the womans smarter than me
Not me it is the people who say That the men are leading the women astray But I say that the women of today Smarter than men in every way Theyre smart, theyre clever chicks Oh theyre sharp with clever tricks They got no mercy in their heart Theyre smart theyre pretty shrewd
Samson was the strongest man long ago Nobody could beat him, that we all know And when he clashed with Delilah, like soldiers said She found that the strength was in the hair of the head
Not me it is the people who say That the men are leading the women astray But I say that the women of today Smarter than men in every way
Now I had a little girl named Doraldee She marry me independently She was saving the money all the time And then she ran to Cuba with a friend of mine
Not me, it is the people who say That the men are leading the women astray But I say that the women of today Smarter than men in every way Theyre smart theyre clever chicks Theyre smart with crazy tricks They got no mercy in their hearts They smart they intelligent, man
Had another girl named Emilee She promised that she would marry with me But then she put me in jail and when I go to see I find that she already married to two or three
Not me - it is the people who say That the men are leading the women astray But I say that the women of today Smarter than men in every way
Not For Me Composer(s): Bobby Darin Performer(s): Bobby Darin; Sammy Davis Jr.; Timco
Ballads are being sung But not for me Church bells are being rung But not for me I am without love But I don't doubt love can be Warm and tender for some But not for me Poems are being read But not for me Prayers are being said But not for me I've never known love Or been shown love, you see And maybe there is such a thing But not for me So let all of your singers sing But not for me And let all of your church bells ring But not for me And if tomorrow All your sorrows should be Just like mine then you cry But not for me No, not me Never for me
Not For All The Rice In China Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Leo Reisman; and various other artists
Not for all the rice in China Not for all the grapes in France Would I exchange the pleasure That I get from every measure When we dance
Not for all the kilts in Scotland Not for all the bulls in Spain Would I give up arriving At your house although youre Driving me insane
Not for all the onions in Bermuda Or the cheeses that are made by the Swiss Would I exchange that first kiss That you gave me
Not for all the beans in Boston Not for all the knobs on doors Would I agree to part with All the joy you filled my heart with When you said, "Im yours"
Not Enough Indians Composer(s): Herbie Baker; Baker Knight Performer(s): Dean Martin
Wagon train of love Is movin' slow... And I can see the peace-pipe Burnin' low... You criticize each Little thing I do... But listen baby I've got news for you (There's) Too many chiefs And not enough, Indians Around this house... Baby I'm tired A' this old game We play called Cat and mouse... If you don't give Just a little bit more... We're both gonna Loose the race 'Cause there's Too many chiefs And not enough Indians Around this place Trouble on our Happy hunting grounds... 'Cause you keep steppin' Too far out of bounds It's hard to run This reservation right... When you stay on the warpath Day and night (There's) Too many chiefs And not enough, Indians Around this house... Baby I'm tired A' this old game We play called Cat and mouse... If you don't give Just a little bit more... We're both gonna Loose the race 'Cause there's Too many chiefs And not enough Indians Around this place Look at all the things I have to do... To keep this te-pee runnin' Just for you Well times are tough And wampum's hard to save... Just remember who's the squaw And who's the brave (There's) Too many chiefs And not enough, Indians Around this house... Baby I'm tired A' this old game We play called Cat and mouse... If you don't give Just a little bit more... We're both gonna Loose the race 'Cause there's Too many chiefs And not enough Indians Around this place
Not A Second Time Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney Performer(s): The Beatles; and various other artists
You know you made me cry I see no use in wondering why I cry for you
And now you've changed your mind I see no reason to change mine I cry it's through, oh
You're giving me the same old line I'm wondering why You hurt me then You're back again No, no, no, not a second time not a second time
You know you made me cry I see no use in wondering why I cry for you
And now you've changed your mind I see no reason to change mine I cry it's through, oh
You're giving me the same old line I'm wondering why You hurt me then You're back again No, no, no, not a second time not a second time Not the second time no, no, no, no, no no, no no
Not A Care In The World Composer(s): Vernon Duke; John Latouche Performer(s): Peggy Lee; and various other artists
Though hope is low Im aglow when you smile at me Life is simple as A-B-C Not a thought in my head Not a care in the world Though skies are grey Im as gay as a Disney cow Not a wrinkle upon my brow Not a cent in the red Not a care in the world I view the scene like that queen of old Russia As Kate the Great used to state long ago "Nichevo!" So if I move in a groove with a giddy trot Im a trottin because Ive got Not a bean in my pot Not a care in the world
Though I cant jive I revive when I see your face Not a limp in my merry pace Not a crimp in my style Not a care in the world Though Im a wreck I can peck if you take a chance Not a shine on my blue serge pants Not a crack in my smile Not a care in the world Why should I fret when I bet on a sure thing? Like Nick the Greek used to say every day "Yip-i-ay!" So if Im struttin with nuttin ahead in store Theres a reason I said before Ill repeat it once more Not a care in the world
Quand je repense à nous J'ai le cur qui flambe un peu Comme au temps de nous deux Tu étais fou Comme ceux qui jouent leur cur et leur amour Et qui gagne toujours
Nostalgie Comme une image de Visconti Quand Venise a le cur gris Nostalgie Il pleut sur mes rêves et aussi Sur notre photographie
Et tes baisers de nacre Etaient pour moi comme des sacres de printemps Et de bonheur Mais dans tes yeux de slave Je me suis vue comme une esclave Et je crois bien que j'ai eu peur
Nostalgie Comme un violon de Vivaldi Quand la musique a le cur gris Nostalgie Il pleut sur mes rêves et aussi Sur notre photographie
Tu avais cette insolence Qui me faisait souvent violence Entre le rire et le mépris Tu avais l'air d'un roi Mais ton royaume c'était moi Je ne le comprends qu'aujourd'hui
Nostalgie Aux yeux de Modigliani Quand la palette a le cur gris Nostalgie Il pleut sur mes rêves et aussi Sur notre photographie Et je sais aujourd'hui Que sa vie On peut la perdre aussi
Nostalgias Tucumanas Composer(s): Atahualpa Yupanqui Performer(s): Paco de Lucia & E. Montoya
Noches de Tucumán luna la de Tafí Quién pudiera volverse para los cerros, ¡ ay, ay de mí! Zambas para bailar arpa, bombo y violín recuerdos y esperanzas en los pañuelos, ¡ ay, ay de mí!
¡ Suena guitarra fiel compañera ! Repiqueteando zambas la vida entera, ¡ ay, ay de mí!
Cerros color azul perfumados de azahar naranjales en mayo y en primavera los amancay
Noches de Tucumán luna la de Tafí Quién pudiera volverse para los cerros ¡ ay, ay de mí!
