Everything I Do Is Wrong


Everything I Do Is Wrong
Composer(s): Charlie Rich
Performer(s): Jimmy Page;
John Paul Jones; Albert Lee;
and various other artists



Well, I can't get along no matter what I do
Well, we can't get along no matter what I do
Yes, everything I do is wrong, no matter what I do

Well, let's make it up baby, try it just one more time
Well, let's make it up baby, try it just one more time
Well, if we don't get together baby, won't be no fault of mine

Lay it down
Alright then

Well, it's been a long time baby, but it's all over now
Oh, it's been a long time baby, but it's all over now
We can't get together, baby, you were no good no how

I'm Moving On


I'm Moving On
Composer(s): Yoko Ono
Performer(s): John Lennon



Save your sweet talk for when you score
Keep your Monday kisses for your glass lady
I want the truth and nothing more
I'm moving on, moving on you're getting phoney
You didn't have to tell a white lie
You knew you scored me for life
Don't stick your finger in my pie
You know I'll see through your jive
I want the truth and nothing more
I'm moving, moving on we're getting phoney
When you were angry you had love in your eyes
When you were sad you had dream in your voice
But now you're giving me your window smile
I'm moving on, moving on it's getting phoney
Moving on!

Everything Happens To Me


Everything Happens To Me
Composer(s): Tom Adair; Matt Dennis
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra;
and various other artists



I make a date for gown
you can bet your life it rains
Tried to give a party
But the guy upstairs complains
Guess I'll go through life
catching colds and missing trains
Everything happens to me

I never miss a thing
I've had the measles and the mumps
And everytime I play an ace
My partner always trumps
Guess I'm just a fool
who never looks before he jumps
everything happens to me

At first I thought that you would end this jinx for me
And love would turn the trick to end dispair
Now I just cant fool this head that thinks for me
I've mortgaged all my castles in the air
Well I've telegraphed and phoned
Sent an air mail special too
Your answer was goodby
There was even postage due
fell in love just once
And it had to be with you
Everything happens to me

I'm Moody


I'm Moody
Composer(s): Jack Fulton; Milton Samuels
Performer(s): Jack Jones



I'm moody, here I go again
Moody, why do I get so moody
At the sound of your name

Dreamer, am I only a dreamer
If I'm only a dreamer
Then my heart's unaware
It's a lost love affair

I tell myself there's no one else
Your heart is yearning for
Your lips are burning for
That we're not true
But then I panic at the thought
I may be losing you
And if I'm losing you
What will I do

I'm moody, here I go again
Moody, I will always be moody
It will cling like a vine
Till you say you are mine

Moody

Everything But You


Everything But You
Composer(s): Don George; Duke Ellington; Harry James
Performer(s): Duke Ellington;
and various other artists



You left me a horse from Texas
A house with installments due
A letter with lots of X-S
Everything but you

You left me some beans from Boston
A bicycle built for two
A memory to get lost in
Everything but you

Each day was so gay and so daring
I loved every breathtaking minute
for how could I know I was sharing
a kiss without a future in it

You left me a dream to room with
A coffee pot from Peru
A knife and fork to spoon with
Everything but you

You left me a horse from Texas
A house with installments due
A letter with lots of X-S
Everything but you

You left me some beans from Boston
A bicycle built for two
A memory to get lost in
Everything but you

Each day was so gay and so daring
I loved every breathtaking minute
for how could I know I was sharing
a kiss without a future in it

You left me a dream to room with
A coffee pot from Peru
A knife and fork to spoon with
Everything but you

Everything but you
You left me everything, everything but you

I'm Mandy, Fly Me


I'm Mandy, Fly Me
Composer(s): Kevin Godley; Graham Gouldman; Eric Stewart
Performer(s): 10 cc



Just like a rolling stone
I'm outside looking in
But if your chance came would you take it
Where on earth do I begin
I'm Mandy fly me
I've often heard her jingle
It's never struck a chord
With a smile as bright as sunshine
She called me through the poster
And welcomed me aboard
She led me she fed me
She read me like a book
But I'm hiding in the small print
Won't you take another look
And take me away
Try me Mandy fly me away
The world was spinning like a ball
And then it wasn't there at all
And as my heart began to fall
I saw her walking on the water
As the sharks were coming for me
I felt Mandy pull me up give me the kiss of life
Just like the girl in Dr. No No No No
Ah when they pulled me from the wreckage
And her body couldn't be found
Was it in my mind it seems
I had a crazy dream
I told them so but they said no no no no
I found me on a street
And staring at a wall
If it hadn't have been for Mandy
Her promise up above me
Well I wouldn't be here at all
So if you're travelling in the sky
Don't be surprised if someone said Hi
I'm Mandy fly me

Everyone's Gone To The Moon


Everyone's Gone To The Moon
Composer(s): Jonathan King
Performer(s): Jonathan King;
and various other artists



Streets full of people, all alone
Rows full of houses, never home
Church full of singing, out of tune
Everyone's gone to the moon

Eyes full of sorrow, never wet
Hands full of money, all in debt
Sun disappears in the middle of June
Everyone's gone to the moon

Long time ago, life had begun
Everyone went to the sun

Hearts full of motors, painted green
Mouths full of chocolate-covered cream
Hands that can only lift a spoon
Everyone's gone to the moon
Everyone's gone to the moon
Everyone's gone to the moon

I'm Making Believe


I'm Making Believe
Composer(s): James V. Monaco; Mack Gordon
Performer(s): John Lee Hooker
and multiple other artists



I'm making believe that you're in my arms though I know you're so far away
Making believe I'm talking to you, wish you could hear what I say
And here in the gloom of my lonely room we're dancing like we used to do
Making believe is just another way of dreaming, so till my dreams come true
I'll whisper "Good night", turn out the light, and kiss my pillow
Making believe it's you

I'm making believe that you're in my arms though I know you're so far away

I'll whisper "Good night", turn out the light, and kiss my pillow
Making believe it's you

And here in the gloom of my lonely room we're dancing like we used to do

Making believe is just another way of dreamin', so till my dreams come true
I'll whisper "Good night", turn out the light, and kiss my pillow

Making believe it's you

Everyone Gets Crazy


Everyone Gets Crazy
Composer(s): Kevin Welch
Performer(s): The Highwaymen



Look here is that you I see
You sure seem down to me
Would you like to tell it to a friend
I can help if anyone can
You know I understand
Everyone gets crazy now and then

Yes i know those empty nights get lonely
Sometimes you feel like you're the only one
To lose more then he wins
Guess these trouble times get scary
But that's just ordinary
Everyone gets crazy now and then (all together)

And who can say they've never stumbled
Never fallen to their knees
Your dreams like castles when they crumble
Well I know what you mean
And I know how hard it can seem

I get crazy just like you
Lost and lonely too
Like some old flag left flying in the wind
Time has taught me this for sure
Time itself is the only cure
All your blues will turn to gold again
Everyone gets crazy now and then

I'm Mad Again


I'm Mad Again
Composer(s): John Lee Hooker
First release by: John Lee Hooker - 1961
Covered by multiple other artists



I had a friend one time, at least I thought he was my friend
For he came to me, said "I ain't got no place to go"
I said "take it easy man, you can come home to my house
I'll get you a pillow where you can rest your head"
Took him home with me, let him in my house
Let him drive my Cadillac that I could not afford
When I found out he'd been messin' around with my baby

You know I'm mad like Al Capone (I'm burnin' up)
I said I'm mad (I'm burnin' up)
Like Sonny Liston yeah (I'm burnin' up)
You know baby I'm mad (I'm burnin' up)
Like Cassius Clay (I'm burnin' up)
You know I'm mad (I'm burnin' up) you know I'm mad
Yeah baby, alright baby (I'm burnin' up)
I'm mad, come on (I'm burnin' up)

Took him home with me, introduced him to my baby
He began to talk to her, made her think the moon was blue
You know I think I ought to tell you daddy
I'm mad, I said I'm mad with you
I don't know what I'm gonna do to you
I might drown you, I might shoot you
I just don't know because I'm mad

I said I'm mad (I'm burnin' up)
You know I'm mad (I'm burnin' up)
I don't have to tell you I'm mad (I'm burnin' up)
I'm mad with you yeah (I'm burnin' up)
I said I'm mad (I'm burnin' up)
Yeah yeah yeah (I'm burnin' up)
I said I'm mad (I'm burnin' up)
You know I'm mad, oh baby I'm mad
Oh I said I'm mad, you know I'm mad, oh baby I'm mad

I'm Loving You Still


I'm Loving You Still
Composer(s): Stroud; Stanier
Performer(s): Arthur Lally



Far away from you and happiness
How I’m feeling you will never guess
So alone with memories of you
Every minute seems to me a year
When I’m longing just to have you near
To atone like all lovers do

Yet you don’t believe me, say you will
To hear you whisper “Yes” would be a thrill
Why oh why are you delaying it
Night and day I’m always saying it
I love you, I’m loving you still

Everyday People


Everyday People
Composer(s): Sylvester "Sly Stone" Stewart
Performer(s): Sly & The Family Stone;
and various other artists



Sometimes I'm right, then I can be wrong
My own beliefs are in my songs
A butcher, a banker, a drummer and then
Makes no difference what group I'm in
I am everyday people

Then it's the blue ones who can't accept
The green ones for living with
The black ones tryin' to be a skinny one
Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby dooby dooby

Ooh sha sha
We gotta live together

I am no better and neither are you
We're all the same whatever we do
You love me, you hate me
You know me and then
Still can't figure out the scene I'm in
I am everyday people

Then it's the new man
That doesn't like the short man
For being such a rich one
That will not help the poor one
Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on scooby dooby dooby

Ooh sha sha
We got to live together

There is a yellow one that won't
Accept the black one
That won't accept the red one
That won't accept the white one

Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and
Scooby dooby dooby
Ooh sha sha
I am everyday people

I'm Lost Without You


I'm Lost Without You
Composer(s): Billy Barberis; Teddy Randazzo
Performer(s): Billy Fury



Friends, all ask me about you
You’re gone, and they want to know why
I’ve stopped, even trying to tell them
Tears fill my eyes I walk away
What can I say where can I go
Without your love, what shall I tell them … now that you’ve left me
What shall I say, what can I do, I’m lost without you
If I’ve made, you unhappy
I’m sorry, for what I’ve done wrong
You can’t, really mean it’s all over
Give me a chance, don’t walk away
Hear what I say, where can I go
Without your love, what shall I tell them … now that you’ve left me
What shall I say, what can I do, I’m lost without you
If you turn and walk away, don’t come back now
If you break my heart again, I’ll just hate you
Ha—te you with every beat, with every beat of my he—art
O—o—ohh, I’m lost without you
O—o—ohh, I’m lost without you
O—o—ohh, I’m lost without you

Everyday Boy


Everyday Boy
Composer(s): Joan Armatrading
Performer(s): Joan Armatrading



Well I've never met anyone
Wiht your courage
And the way you enjoy life
Puts me to shame
Just an hour with you
And I understand why
We had to meet

I saw you look in the mirror
And adjust your hair
Smile
And leave the room

Just an everyday boy
Doing everyday things
But you're somebody special
Somebody who feels
You're not the first
And you won't be the last
But you are the one I'll remember

It's God's revenge
You're surrounded by fear
A compassionate man
You hold people dear

No blame for the mother
Who curses your name
She fears for her son
It's death by association

But you respect yourself
And you let it show
Some fade with guilt
And the shame

The way yo tell your story
With no tears for yourself
Just and everyday boy
Doing everyday things

You're not the first
And you won't be the last
But you are the one I'll remember

Hey hey Just an everyday boy
Just an everyday boy
Doing everyday things

Just an everyday boy
Just an everyday boy
Just an everyday boy
Doing everyday things
Just an everyday boy

I'm Losing You


I'm Losing You
Composer(s): John Lennon
First release by: John Lennon & Yoko Ono - 1980
Covered by multiple other artists



Here in some stranger's room
Late in the afternoon
What am I doing here at all?
Ain't no doubt about it
I'm losing you
I'm Losing You
Somehow the wires got crossed
Communication's lost
Can't even get you on the telephone
Just got to shout about it
I'm losing you
I'm Losing You
Well, here in the valley of indecision
I don't know what to do
I feel you slipping away
I feel you slipping away
I'm losing you
I'm Losing You
Well now, you say you're not getting enough
But I remind you of all that bad, bad, bad stuff
So what the hell am I supposed to do?
Just put a band-aid on it?
And stop the bleeding now
Stop the bleeding now
I'm losing you
I'm Losing You
Well, well, well
I know I hurt you then
But hell, that was way back when
Well, do you still have to carry that cross? (drop it)
Don't want to hear about it
I'm losing you
I'm Losing You
Don't want to lose you now
Welllllllll!
So long ago

Evergreen Tree


Evergreen Tree
Composer(s): Wally Gold; Aaron Schroeder
Performer(s): Cliff Richard



Oh Darling, will our love be like an evergreen tree
Stay evergreen and young as the seasons go

Your kisses could make love grow like an evergreen tree
Bloom in the summer sun and the winter snow

On every branch will blossom, dreams for me and you
Our tree of love will stay evergreen, if our hearts stay ever true

Darlin', I love you so, don't you know that I'll be
True 'til the leaves turn blue on the evergreen tree

On every branch will blossom, dreams for me and you
Our tree of love will stay evergreen, if our hearts stay ever true

Oh Darlin', I love you so, don't you know that I'll be
True 'til the leaves turn blue on the evergreen tree

On the evergreen tree
On the evergreen tree

I'm Looking Through You


I'm Looking Through You
(French Version: Je Lis Dans Tes Yeux)
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney
First release by: The Beatles - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists



I'm looking through you
Where did you go
I thought I knew you
What did I know
You don't look different
But you have changed
I'm looking through you
You're not the same

Your lips are moving
I cannot hear
You voice is soothing
But the words aren't clear
You don't sound different
I've learned the game
I'm looking through you
You're not the same

Why, tell me why
Did you not treat me right
Love has a nasty habit
Of disappearing overnight

You're thinking of me
The same old way
You were above me
But not today
The only difference
Is you're down there
I'm looking though you
And you're nowhere

Why, tell me why
Did you not treat me right
Love has a nasty habit
Of disappearing overnight

I'm looking through you
Where did you go
I thought I knew you
What did I know
You don't look different
But you have changed
I'm looking through you
You're not the same
Yeah, Oh, baby you've changed
Aah, I'm looking through you
Yeah, I'm looking through you
You've changed, you've changed
You've changed, you've changed

Everyday (The Oak Ridge Boys)


Everyday
Composer(s): Dave Loggins; J.D. Martin
Performer(s): The Oak Ridge Boys



You know a smile never goes out of style
So brighten up the one that you wear
Let it shine and you just might find
You'll lighten up the load that you bear

You know with all the trouble and sorrow in the world
It seems like the least we can do
Just take that smile into the street
And share it with everybody you meet

Everyday (Everyday) I want to shake somebody's hand
Everyday (Everyday) I want make somebody know
(That thinks they can) That they can (Yes, they can)
Everyday (Everyday) I want to try (I want to try)
To show my brothers and sisters that
I want to help them along the way everyday, everyday

You know a kind word never goes unheard
But too often goes unsaid and on the tongue
Of the old and the young
Gets swallowed up with pride instead

You know with all the trouble and sorrow in the world
It seems like the least we can do
Just take a kind word into the street
And share it with everybody you meet

Everyday (Everyday) I want to shake somebody's hand
Everyday (Everyday) I want make somebody know
(That thinks they can) That they can (Yes, they can)
Everyday (Everyday) I want to try (I want to try)
To show my brothers and sisters that
I want to help them along the way everyday, everyday

If they're lost, I want to show them the sunshine
If they look tossed, I want to throw them a lifeline
I want to reach out my hand (Reach out), a hand to hold
Oh yeah, and let 'em know (Let 'em know)
There's a light (That there's light)
Down at the end of the road

If they're lost I want to show them the sunshine
If they're tossed I want to throw them a lifeline

Everyday (Everyday) I want to shake somebody's hand
Everyday (Everyday) I want make somebody know
(That thinks they can) that they can (Yes, they can)
Everyday (Everyday) I want to try (I want to try)
To show my brothers and sisters that
I want to help them along the way everyday, everyday

Everyday (Everyday) I want to shake somebody's hand
Everyday (Everyday) I want make somebody know
(That thinks they can) That they can (Yes, they can)
Everyday (Everyday) I want to try (I want to try)
To show my brothers and sisters that
I want to help them along the way everyday, everyday

Composer(s): Mort Dixon; Harry Woods
Performer(s): Nick Lucas
and multiple other artists



I'm looking over a four-leaf clover
That I overlooked before
One leaf is sunshine, the second is rain
Third is the roses that grow in the lane

No need explaining, the one remaining
Is somebody I adore
I'm looking over a four-leaf clover
That I overlooked before
