Nothing I Can Do About It Now
Composer(s): Beth Nielsen Chapman
Performer(s): Willie Nelson



I've got a long list of real good reasons
For all the things I've done
I've got a picture in the back of my mind
Of what I've lost and what I've won
I've survived every situation
Knowing when to freeze and when to run
And regret is just a memory, written on my brow
And there's nothing I can do about it now!
I've got a wild and a restless spirit
I've held my price through every deal
I've seen the fire of a woman scorned 
turn her heart of gold to steel
I've got the song of the voice inside me
set to the rhythm of the wheel
An' I been dreamin' like a child
since the cradle broke the bough
And there's nothin' I can do about it now! 

(Chorus)

Runnin' through the changes
Goin' through the stages
Comin' round the corners in my life
Leavin' doubt to fate
Stayin' out too late
Waitin' for the moon to say goodniiiigh-hi-hi-hite
And I could cry for the time I've wasted
But that's a waste of time and tears
And I know just what I'd change
If I went back in time somehow
But there's nothing I can do about it 

(Repeat Chorus)

I'm forgiving everything that forgiveness will allow
And there's nothin' I can do about it now!!

Nothing Compares To You
Composer(s): Prince
Performer(s): Prince



It’s 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 you’ve 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

It’s 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, you’d better try to have some fun no matter what you do”
But he’s 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 I’m 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

Not Yet
Composer(s): P.G. Wodehouse; Jerome Kern



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!

I am the Lizard King
I can do anything

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'm yours, heart and soul, I'm yours 
And all that I'll ever possess 
But if you should say to me 
Will you always be 
I'll just have to confess 

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



Let’s 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
They’re smart – they’re clever chicks
They’re smart – with crazy tricks
They got no mercy in their heart
They’re 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 woman’s 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
They’re smart, they’re clever chicks
Oh they’re sharp with clever tricks
They got no mercy in their heart
They’re smart – they’re 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
They’re smart – they’re clever chicks
They’re 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 Guilty
Composer(s): George Harrison
Performer(s): The Beatles



Not guilty 
for getting in your way 
while you're trying to steal the day
Not guilty 
and I'm not here for the rest
I'm not trying to steal your vest

I am not trying to be smart
I only want what I can get 
I'm really sorry for your ageing head
But like you heard me said
not guilty

No use handing me a writ 
while I'm trying to do my bit

I don't expect to take your heart
I only want what I can get
I'm really sorry that you're underfed
But like you heard me said 
not guilty

Not guilty 
for looking like a freak
making friends with every Sikh
Not guilty 
for leading you astray 
on the road to Mandalay

I won't upset the apple cart
I only want what I can get
I'm really sorry that you've been misled
But like you heard me said
not guilty

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 you’re
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, "I’m 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
I’m 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
I’m 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
I’m a trottin’ because I’ve got
Not a bean in my pot
Not a care in the world

Though I can’t 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 I’m 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 I’m struttin’ with nuttin’ ahead in store
There’s a reason I said before
I’ll repeat it once more
Not a care in the world
