You walked in my life, with an angel's smile How could I have known, the hunger locked inside We can start a fire, but we can't control the flame Now I just can't wait, to feel that heat again And in the middle of the night you cry...
Too much ain't enough love to satisfy me I got a burning heart Too much ain't enough love to satisfy me
Just seems like yesterday, I was running alone I turned my back on love, but baby I was wrong Do I miss your touch, do I tell myself a lie Can't get enough, when I'm lying by your side And in the middle of the night I cry...
Too much ain't enough love to satisfy me I got a burning heart Too much ain't enough love to satisfy me
Shadows moving on the wall Slowly we begin to fall Lying in a pool of sweat Another night I can't forget
Too much ain't enough love to satisfy me I got a burning heart Too much ain't enough love to satisfy me
I Just Have To Breathe Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David Performer(s): Dionne Warwick and multiple other artists
There are things that I did long ago That I don't do anymore We grow out of things Each day is different than the day before And yet to love you I just have to breathe
There are needs we have when we are young And discard as we mature Time can change so much The only certain thing is nothing's sure And yet to love you I just have to breathe
It's not an easy place This world we face But I'll face anything As long as that warm morning sun Will always bring me you
There's a time for everything we do When it's over we move on Just true love remains And I'll still love you when all else is gone For me to love you I just have to breathe
In this world where nothing stays the same Stay with me
Juicy Lucy Composer(s): John Woloschuck Performer(s): Klaatu
My Juicy Lucy, you're so exciting Eyes of blue and hair of lightning You jet around in your Chrome atomic platform shoes I'm so in love with you My Juicy Lucy
You spend your evenings with Alexander That fire-breathing salamander Who sings the blues And plays electric guitar too
Lucy kissed me and she said, "Can't you?" I said "No," but I was willing to Love you with all my might Though a million nights Wouldn't be enough it's true 'Cause Juicy Lucy, I'm so in love with you It's the way you rock'n'roll You're too too much, you're too too much You're too too much my Juicy Lucy
Oh! Lucy kissed me and she said, "Can't you?" I said "No," but I was willing to Love you with all my might Though a million nights Wouldn't be enough it's true 'Cause Juicy Lucy, I'm so in love with you It's your chrome-atomic platform shoes Won't you let me get my boots on too And we'll sail across the sky so blue Ah, look out sky, here we come! My Juicy Lucy
Too Much Composer(s): Lee Rosenberg - Bernard Weinman First release: Bernard Hardison - 1955
Honey, I love you too much Need your lovin' too much Want the thrill of your touch Gee, I can't hold you too much You do all the livin' While I do all the givin' 'Cause I love you, too much
You spend all my money, too much Have to share you honey, too much When I want some lovin', you're gone Don't you know you're treatin' me wrong Now you got me started Don't you leave me broken hearted 'Cause I love you, too much
Ev'ry time I kiss your sweet lips I can feel my heart go flip flip I'm such a fool for your charms Take me back baby in your arms Like to hear you sighin' Even though I know you're lyin' 'Cause I love you, too much
Need your lovin' all the time Need you huggin', please be mine Need you near me, stay real close Please, please, hear me, you're the most Now you got me started Don't you leave me broken hearted 'Cause I love you too much
I Just Found Out Composer(s): Paul Burlison; Johnny Burnette; Dorsey Burnette; Al Mortimer Performer(s): Johnny Burnette and multiple other artists
I just found out, some things I thought of you I-I never dreamed, that they were true I-I-I just found out, that you were leavin' me I-I never dreamed, that it would be I prayed to God to send her love to me When deep inside this love would never be I just found out, that you was cheatin' me I-I-I never dreamed, that it could be
I prayed to God to send her love to me When deep inside this love could not be I-I just found out, that you were cheatin' me I-I-I never dreamed that it could be
Jugband Blues Composer(s): Syd Barrett Performer(s): Pink Floyd; Eden
It's awfully considerate of you to think of me here And I'm much obliged to you for making it clear That I'm not here And I never knew we could be so thick And I never knew the moon could be so blue And I'm grateful that you threw away my old shoes And brought me here instead dressed in red And I'm wondering who could be writing this song
I don't care if the sun don't shine And I don't care if nothing is mine And I don't care if I'm nervous with you I'll do my loving in the winter
And the sea isn't green And I love the queen And what exactly is a dream And what exactly is a joke
I Just Fall In Love Again Composer(s): Steve Dorff / Larry Herbstritt / Gloria Sklerov / Harry Lloyd) Performer(s): Anne Murray and multiple other artists
Dreamin', I must be dreamin' or am I really lyin' here with you? Baby, you take me in your arms and though I'm wide awake I know my dream is comin' true
And, oh, I just fall in love again just one thought and then it happens every time And there I go, I just fall in love again and when I do can't help myself I fall in love with you
Magic, it must be magic the way I hold you and the night just seems to fly Easy for you to take me to a star Heaven is that moment when I look into your eyes (chorus)
Jug Of Punch Composer(s): Francis McPeake Performer(s): The Clancy Brothers
Oh one pleasant evening in the month of June As I was sitting with my glass and spoon A small bird sat on an ivy bush And the song it sang was the Jug of Punch
Chorus:
Too-ra loo-ra loo, too-ra loo-ra loo Too-ra loo-ra loo, too-ra loo-ra loo A small bird sat on an ivy bush And the song it sang was the Jug of Punch
What more diversion can a man desire Than to be seated by a snug coal fire Upon his knee a pretty wench Aye and on the table a jug of punch
Chorus
If I were sick and very bad And was not able to go or stand I would not think it all amiss To pledge my shoes for a jug of punch
Chorus
The doctor fails with all his art To cure an impression on the heart But if life was gone, within an inch What would bring it back but a jug of punch
Chorus
But when I'm dead and in my grave No costly tombstone will I crave Just lay me down in my native heath With a jug of punch at my head and feet
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
I just don't know what to do with my time I'm so lonesome for you, it's a crime Going to a movie only makes me sad Parties make me feel as bad When I'm not with you, I just don't know what to do
Like a summer rose needs the sun and rain I need your sweet love to beat all the pain
