Too Many Times Composer(s): Anthony McShear - Scott Page - Micheal Smotherman Performer(s): Earl Thomas Conley
Rivalries between sons and fathers Caused me to hurt that Dad of mine How I'd love to bring him back and say I'm sorry But the world has turned too many times
Tension between friends and lovers Can cause you to go over the line How I'd love to call some up and talk it over But the world has turned too many times
Oh, too many times I felt I should be freer And too many times I ended up alone Oh, too many times I tried to prove them all a liar When they said you can never go home
A vow we take when we say forever Left unattended just dies on the vine Now I wonder if forever wonders ever If the world has turned too many times
Oh, too many times I felt I should be freer And too many times I ended up alone Oh, too many times I tried to prove them all a liar When they said I will never go home
Tensions between friends and lovers Make you feel like you're losing your mind What I'd give to rewind and start all over But the world has turned too many times
Rivalries do not breed loyalty Rivalries do not breed loyalty (Keep turning me, oh, too many times) (Round and round and round too many times)
Juego Que Me Regaló Un 6 De Enero Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Soy ciudadano del amor llevo dogal de belleza entre la hombrera y la cabeza entre rodilla y cinturón Haciendo crítica social me perfumé de valiente creyeron que era disidente y no era más que natural
Martí me habló de la amistad y creo en él cada día aunque la cruda economía ha dado luz a otra verdad
El mundo tiene la razón puesta en el pan, en el diario ese señor rudimentario que nos dará la absolución
Ciega la vida nueva es como un verso al revés como un amor por descifrar como un Dios en edad de jugar Trino vete al destino, al punto que será final juega a lo que no jugué y canta que aunque sin rey mago sigo en pie
Seguro estoy requete mal debo sufrir algo extraño pues ni la hiel ni el desengaño me dan canción de funeral
El fin de siglo trae la sien cebada de pudredumbre como invitándome a una lumbre que prenderá quien ame bien
Bendito el tiempo que me dio una canción sin permiso Bendito sea el paraíso algo infernal que me parió
El día del Armagedón no quiero estar tras la puerta sino soñando bien alerta donde esté a salvo de perdón
Ciega la vida nueva es como un verso al revés como un amor por descifrar como un Dios en edad de jugar Trino vete al destino, al punto que será final juega a lo que no jugué y canta que aunque sin rey mago sigo en pie
Too Many Tears Composer(s): Harry Warren - Al Dubin Performer(s): Dick Powell and multiple other artists
To have a good old fashioned cry Once in a while Isn't so bad For when you've had that little cry Then you can smile You can be glad But when there's too much sorrow You know that there is bound to be
Too many tears Each night I go to bed I lay awake and shed Too many tears Your memory Is bringing me Too many tears Too many years I wasted loving you And you know I was true Too many years I cared a lot What have I got? Too many tears I know I should have found a new love And don't you think I didn't try But I found out a "number two" love Never seems to satisfy I'll never learn To smile again and sing I gave you ev'rything And in return What did you leave for souvenirs? Too many tears
I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You Composer(s): Colin Hay Performer(s): Colin Hay; Wes Wingate
I drink good coffee every morning Comes from a place that's far away And when I'm done I feel like talking Without you here there is less to say I don't want you thinking I'm unhappy What is closer to the truth That if I lived till I was 102 I just don't think I'll ever get over you I'm no longer moved to drink strong whisky 'Cause I shook the hand of time and I knew That if I lived till I could no longer climb my stairs I just don't think I'll ever get over you Your face it dances and it haunts me Your laughter's still ringing in my ears I still find pieces of your presence here Even after all these years But I don't want you thinking I don't get asked to dinner 'Cause I'm here to say that I sometimes do Even though I may soon feel the touch of love I just don't think I'll ever get over you If I lived till I was 102 I just don't think I'll ever get over you
Juego Letal Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse Performer(s): Raphael
Sentir tus dedos tocar mis labios Es sensacion que estremece mi piel Y tu mirar enciende en mi pasion Placer prohibido, voy a caer en el
Si te acercas a mi Si yo escucho tu voz Si mis ojos van hasta ti Es locura de amor Pierdo todo el control No sabria sentir asi
Es la pura maldad Es pecado mortal Y cuidado con el Es un juego letal
Es la vision de un sueño oscuro Tan irreal que parece verdad Extraño amor de cuento infantil Adios princesa, ¿sabes a donde vas?
Echarás a correr, tal vez te quedaras Que mas da, tu fin es perder Solo se que no soy, olvide donde estoy Pago el precio por un querer ¿A quien voy a culpar? Es un crimen carnal La verdad que mas da Es un juego letal
No hables mas, ¿para que? Bastara nuestro mirar Nos dira de los dos Lo que yo quiero escuchar
Si te acercas a mi Si yo escucho tu voz Si mis ojos van hasta ti Es locura de amor Pierdo todo el control No sabria sentir asi
Es la pura maldad Es pecado mortal ¿A quien puedo culpar? Es un crimen carnal Ten cuidado con el Es un juego letal
Too Many Rivers Composer(s): Harlan Howard First release: Claude Gray - 1964 Covered by multiple other artists
I wish I could come back to you, dear 'Cause I know that you want me to But too much water run under that old bridge There's too many rivers between me and you There's too many rivers to cross, dear
Too many dreams have been lost And there's too many long nights That I've turned and tossed There's too many rivers to cross
Now don't think for a moment, I blame only you We both killed the fruit on the vine And when you try to put love back together There's always a few little pieces you can't find
Yes, there's too many rivers to cross, dear And there's too many dreams that have been lost Oh there's too many long nights That I've turned and I've tossed There's too many rivers to cross
I Just Don't Look Good Naked Anymore (aka Trucker's Lament)
Composer(s): Sheb Wooley - Dick Feller
Performer(s): Sheb Wooley
and multiple other artists
I stepped outta the shower and I gotta good look at myself Pot belly, bald head, man, I thought I was somebody else I caught my reflection in the mirror on the back of my bathroom door I just don't look good naked anymore
So, I'm goin' upstairs and turn the bedroom mirror to the wall I hung it there when I was trim and tall I'd stand there and smile, and strut and flex until my arms got sore But I just don't look good naked anymore
Well, I used to go out with the girls I loved them one and all Now they don't get very close to me They're afraid that I might fall
Well, I went to the Doctor for my annual medical exam Stood there in the buff, suddenly he said "Man" I said "What is it Doc, some fatal disease, I just gotta know the score" He said "No, you just don't look good naked anymore
Well, me and my wife had a dance routine Everybody said it was unique Now it's only when we're back to back That we're dancing cheek to cheek
Well, I went to a nudie beech to have some seaside fun Stretched out in my birthday suit, soakin' up the sun Somebody yelled, "Hey, there's an old white whale washed up on the shore I just don't look good naked anymore
Yeah, my arches fell, my chest went to hell And my butt's a-draggin' the floor An' I just don't look good naked anymore No, I just don't look good naked anymore
Judy's Turn To Cry Composer(s): Edna Lewis; Beverly "Ruby" Ross Performer(s): Lesley Gore
'Cause now, it's Judy's turn to cry Judy's turn to cry Judy's turn to cry 'Cause Johnny's come back (Johnny's come back, come back) to me
Oh, when Judy left with Johnny at my party (my party) And came back wearing his ring, I sat down and cried my eyes out Now, that was a foolish thing
'Cause now, it's Judy's turn to cry Judy's turn to cry Judy's turn to cry 'Cause Johnny's come back (Johnny's come back, come back) to me
Well, it hurt me so to see them dance together (together) I felt like making a scene Then, my tears just fell like raindrops 'Cause Judy's smile was so mean
But now, it's Judy's turn to cry Judy's turn to cry Judy's turn to cry 'Cause Johnny's come back (Johnny's come back, come back) to me
Oh, one night I saw them kissin' at a party (a party) So, I kissed some other guy Johnny jumped up and he hit him 'Cause he still loved me, that's why
So now, it's Judy's turn to cry Judy's turn to cry Judy's turn to cry 'Cause Johnny's come back (Johnny's come back, come back) to me
Yay, now, it's Judy's turn to cry Judy's turn to cry Judy's turn to cry........

I just don't know what to do with myself Don't know just what to do with myself I'm so used to doing everything with you Planning everything for two And now that we're through

Like a summer rose needs the sun and rain I need your sweet love to beat all the pain

Judy's got the lips I love to kiss And when she walks she's got the cutest twist She's grown up before my eyes and all at once I realize Judy, Judy, Judy I love you
Judy's got the hands I love to touch The way she wrinkles her nose, it's just too much No more shirts and bright blue jeans, all at once she's seventeen Judy, Judy, Judy I love you
I'm prayin' I'll stay in her heart for evermore 'Cause she's the girl I've dreamed of, that I've been waiting for
Judy's gonna share my life some day And in my heart I know she's gonna stay When I look into her eyes I just can't help but realize Judy, Judy, Judy I love you
I'm prayin' I'll stay in her heart for evermore 'Cause she's the girl I've dreamed of, that I've been waiting for
Judy's gonna share my life some day And I'll be true to her in every way When I look into her eyes I just can't help but realize Judy, Judy, Judy I love you Judy, Judy, Judy I love you
Too Many Fish In The Sea Composer(s): Norman Whitfield - Eddie Holland First release: The Marvelettes - 1964 Covered by multiple other artists
Look here, girls: Take this advice & remember always in life
Into each heart some tears must fall Though you love & lose you must stand tall 'Cause you all got to cry sometimes, I say, sigh sometimes Pull yourself together, no use cryin' forever
Because there are (Too many fish in the sea, too many fish in the sea) I say, there are short ones, tall ones, fine ones, kind ones (Too many fish in the sea) My mother once told me somethin', & every word is true Don't waste your time on a fella who doesn't love you They'll only mislead you, only grieve you Don't worry about him, let him go, do without him
Because there are (Too many fish in the sea, too many fish in the sea) I say, there are short ones, tall ones, fine ones, kind ones (Too many fish in the sea)
If a fish isn't on your line Bait your hook & keep on tryin' Don't let him get you down There's other boys around
Because there are (Too many fish in the sea, too many fish in the sea) I say, there are short ones, tall ones, fine ones, kind ones (Too many fish in the sea)
I don't want nobody who don't want me ('Cause there's too many fish in the sea) Ain't gonna love nobody who don't love me, now ('Cause there's too many fish in the sea) I don't need nobody who don't need me ('Cause there's too many fish in the sea) I don't want nobody who don't want me, now ('Cause there's too many fish in the sea) Ain't gonna love nobody who don't love me ('Cause there's too many fish in the sea)...
Oui, Il Faut Croire Adapted from: I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself - 1962 Composer(s): Hal David; Burt Bacharach; Michèle Vendôme, Claude Carrère Performer(s): Sheila - 1964
Oui, il faut croire simplement à la vie À cette vie que l'on nous a donnée Penser que jamais rien n'est perdu vraiment Que la chance nous attend On doit la chercher
Oui, il faut croire simplement à la vie À cette vie que l'on nous a donnée Apprendre à sourire quand on a du chagrin Quand celui qu'on aimait bien Vous a fait pleurer On doit savoir oublier
Avec toi, je veux connaître le monde et découvrir Toutes les joies et tous les espoirs Qu'il vient m'offrir
Oui, il faut croire simplement à la vie À cette vie que l'on nous a donnée Et se souvenir du geste de l'ami Car les mots qu'il nous a dits Pour nous consoler On ne peut les effacer
Toi qui m'a appris à regarder autour de moi Jamais mon coeur, je te le promets, Ne t'oubliera !
Oui, il faut croire, il faut croire à la vie! Oui, il faut croire, il faut croire à la vie! Penser que jamais rien n'est perdu vraiment Que la chance nous attend On doit la chercher

I Just Can't Wait To Be King Composer(s): Elton John; Tim Rice Performer(s): Elton John & London Community and multiple other artists
I'm gonna be a mighty king So enemies beware!
Well, I've never seen a king of beasts With quite so little hair
I'm gonna be the mane event Like no king was before I'm brushing up on looking down I'm working on my Roar
Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing
Oh, I just can't wait to be king! (You've rather a long way to go, young master if you think...)
No one saying do this (Now when I said that, I -) No one saying be there (What I meant was...) No one saying stop that (Look, what you don't realize...) No one saying see here (Now see here!)
Free to run around all day (Well, that's definitely out...) Free to do it all my way!
I think it's time that you and I Arranged a heart to heart
Kings don't need advice From little hornbills for a start
If this is where the monarchy is headed Count me out! Out of service, out of Africa I wouldn't hang about This child is getting wildly out of wing
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Everybody look left Everybody look right Everywhere you look I'm Standing in the spotlight!
Not yet!
Let every creature go for broke and sing Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing It's gonna be King Simba's finest fling
Oh, I just can't wait to be king! Oh, I just can't wait to be king! Oh, I just can't waaaaaait ... to be king!
You came down out of Heaven to make me happy, dear To smile away my sorrows and kiss away my tears Seems that I have loved you
though we've never met before But now you're in my heart, love, to stay for evermore
You're my angel, Judy, you're my darlin' You're the sweetest flower that Heaven ever grew My arms could never hold another 'Cause my love is only for you
The nights were dark and lonely the days were lonely too But now they're all so bright, love, cause all I see is you You came into my heart, love, from out of empty space With a song upon your lips, dear, with a smile upon your face
You're my angel, Judy, you're my darlin' You're the sweetest flower that Heaven ever grew My arms could never hold another 'Cause my love is only for you
"Well movin' down to Lousisiana, gonna leave this life behind Bye-bye California, said I finally changed my mind This restless way of livin' bout to drive a man insane To leave the sleepy village, tired of playin' those waitin' games
Well hello New York City, hope you're waitin' on my call Babe since I've been here you're the greatest one of all Well hello big time city, come on and have a ball Tired of hibernatin', let's go cruising for a fall
Well I spent some time in Wichita Thought it was the pits This life of superstratum just ain't all it's cracked up to be
To California, where the people let you be Well good morning Albuquerque Lord I must have gone insane Looking out the window Gotta catch a train Seems like lost horizons just ain't comin' up the same I hear California callin' I better take a plane Well Gotta to tell Virginia that they better let it shine This life that I've been living Street sore failure on my mind Well bye bye the old Grand Canyon California way behind"
I Just Can't Stop Loving You Composer(s): Michael Jackson Performer(s): Michael Jackson
I just want to lay next to you for a while You look so beautiful tonight Your eyes are so lovely Your mouth is so sweet A lot of people misunderstand me That's because they don't know me at all I just want to touch you And hold you I need you God, I need you I love you so much
Each time the wind blows I hear your voice so I call your name Whispers at morning Our love is dawning Heaven's glad you came
You know how I feel This thing can't go wrong I'm so proud to say I love you Your love's got me high I long to get by This time is forever Love is the answer
I hear your voice now You are my choice now The love you bring Heaven's in my heart At your call I hear harps And Angels sing You know how I feel This thing can't go wrong I can't live my life without you
I just can't hold on I feel we belong My life ain't worth living If I can't be with you
I just can't stop loving you I just can't stop loving you And if I stop Then tell me just what will I do 'Cause I just can't stop loving you
At night when the stars shine I pray in you I'll find a love so true When morning awakes me Will you come and take me I'll wait for you
You know how I feel I won't stop until I hear Your voice saying I do (I do) This thing can't go wrong This feeling's so strong Well, my life ain't worth living If I can't be with you
I just can't stop loving you I just can't stop loving you (If I don't) And if I stop Then tell me just what will I do I just can't stop loving you
We can change all the world tomorrow We can sing songs of yesterday I can say,'Hey, farewell to sorrow' This is my life and I Want to see you for always
I just can't stop loving you (Oh, baby) (Oh) I just can't stop loving you (If I can't stop) And if I stop (Oh) Then tell me just what will I do (Oh) (What will I do) (Oh) I just can't stop loving you (Why do, girl) I just can't stop loving you (And nobody but'you) And if I stop Then tell me just what will I do
