Never Know Why


Never Know Why
Composer(s): Bob Daisley; Jake E. Lee; Ozzy Osbourne
Performer(s): Ozzy Osbourne



If we're offensive and pose a threat
You fear what we represent is a mess
You've missed the message that says it all
And you'll never know why
Oh no you'll never know why

We rock

It's just a feeling how we excite
You cannot rule everybody in sight
But you condemn don't understand
And you'll never know why
Oh no you'll never know why

We rock rock rock
We rock rock rock
We rock rock rock
You'll never know why
We rock

I leave you cold and in disgust
Don't try to tame me you'll eat my dust
I know that you know not what you do
That's why you'll never know why
Oh no you'll never know why

We rock rock rock
We rock rock rock
We rock rock rock
You'll never know why
We rock rock rock
We rock rock rock
We rock rock rock
You'll never know why
We rock

Inside (Peter, Paul and Mary)


Inside
Composer(s): Hill; Noel Paul Stookey
Performer(s): Peter, Paul and Mary



Let's say you're at a pie contest, let's say that you're the judge
And there's lemon, lime and watermelon rind,
and one that looks like fudge
You can't tell which pie you like the best
if you only eat the crust
In order to complete the test a bite of filling is a must
(A bite of filling is a must)

Inside, Inside, that's the most important part
Inside, Inside, that's the place you've got to start
Inside, Inside, that's where you'll find the heart of the matter

Let's say you're at a birthday party
and let's say you've just turned eight
And there are presents everywhere and all of them look great
You can't tell which one's your favorite
by just looking at the bow
To pick one out from all the rest unwrap each present,
then you'll know
(Unwrap each present then you'll know)

Inside, Inside, that's the most important part
Inside, Inside, that's the place you've got to start
Inside, Inside, that's where you'll find the heart of the matter

Children are the very best, each one a joy and pride
Just how we know, I bet you guessed:
we took the time to look...
(inside!)

Inside, Inside, that's the most important part
Inside, Inside, that's the place you've got to start
Inside, Inside, that's where you'll find the heart of the matter

Let's say you're at a library
and there's stacks and stack of books
There's even stacks on top of stacks everywhere you look
There are stories about mystery and sports and famous lovers
To pick one out from all the rest
you've got to open up the covers
(You've got to open up the covers!)

Inside, Inside, that's the most important part
Inside, Inside, that's the place you've got to start
Inside, Inside, that's where you'll find the heart of the matter

Priscilla Almeda; Angelo & Veronica;

I never knew love like this before
Now I'm lonely never more
Since you came into my life

You are my lovelight, this I know
And I'll never let you go
You my all, you're heart, part of me

Once I was lost and now I'm found
Then you turned my world around
When I need you, I call your name

'Cause I never
Knew love like this before
Opened my eyes
'Cause I never
Knew love like this before
What a surprise

'Cause I never
Knew love like this before

This feeling's so deep inside of me
Such a tender fantasy
You're the one I'm living for

You are my sunlight and my rain
And time could never change
What we share forever more
Ooooh-whooooa

I never knew love like this before
Now I'm lonely never more
Since you came into my life

'Cause I never
Knew love like this before
Opened my eyes
'Cause I never
Knew love like this before
What a surprise
'Cause I never
Knew love like this before

You are my lovelight, this I know
And I'll never let you go
You my all, you're part of me
Once I was lost and now I'm found
And you turned my world around
When I need you, I call your name

'Cause I never
Knew love like this before
Opened my eyes
'Cause I never
Knew love like this before
What a surprise
'Cause I never
Knew love like this before
Inside of me
(I never) never
Knew love like this before
Opened my eyes

(Never) never, (never) never
(Never knew love like this)
I never knew, I never knew
I never
(Never) never, (never) never
(Never knew love like this)
I never knew, I never knew
I never knew
(Never) never, (never) never
(Never knew love like this)
I never knew-whoooooa

I never knew (never)
I never knew, I never knew
I never knew (never) I never
Never knew love like this
(Never knew love like this)
I never knew-whoooooa

Inside (Jethro Tull)


Inside
Composer(s): Ian Anderson
Performer(s): Jethro Tull



All the places I've been make it hard to begin
to enjoy life again on the inside
but I mean to
Take a walk around the block
and be glad that I've got me some time
to be in from the outside
and inside with you

I'm sitting on the corner feeling glad
Got no money coming in but I can't be sad
That was the best cup of coffee I ever had
And I won't worry about a thing
because we've got it made
here on the inside, outside so far away

And we'll laugh and we'll sing
get someone to bring our friends here
for tea in the evening
Old Jeffrey makes three
Take a walk in the park
does the wind in the dark
sound like music to you?
Well I'm thinking it does to me

Can you cook, can you sew
well, I don't want to know
That is not what you need on the inside
to make the time go

Counting lambs, counting sheep
we will fall into sleep
and we awake to a new day of living
and loving you so

Never In My Life
Composer(s): Gail Collins; Corky Laing; Felix Pappalardi; Leslie West
Performer(s): Mountain; Five Horse Johnson;
Michael Schenker; Jeff Sturges; Leslie West



Never in my life
Could I find a girl like you
Never in my life
Could I find a girl like you
When I wake up in the morning
You make me feel so good
Bringing me the cider whisky
Feel a bit lonely too

For the first time in my life
I finally found someone like you
For the first time in my life
I finally found someone like you
I feel like a bolt of lightning
But it feels so good
Knowin´ my baby´s waitin´
And of course I do
Hey hey hey

Never in my life
Could I find a girl like you
Never in my life
Could I find a girl like you
When I turned around to wake her
About the way she moves
I don´t want to leave her
But I wanta love you too

Inseparable


Inseparable
Composer(s): Charles Henry Jackson; Marvin Yancy
First release by: Natalie Cole - 1975

Inseparable
That's how we'll always be
Inseparable
Just you and me
It's so wonderful to know you'll always be around me

Incredible
What you are to me
Incredible
You bring out the woman in me
With your style of love
Inseparable
Yes we are

Well like a flower to a tree
Like words to a melody of love
There's no way we could break up
No words that can make us
Blow our thing
We're just

Inseparable
That's how it is
Inseparable
For the rest of our years
It's so wonderful to know you'll always be around

Never In A Million Years


Never In A Million Years
Composer(s): Mack Gordon; Harry Revel
Performer(s): Sarah Vaughan;
and various other artists



Never in a million years
Could there be another you
I would shed a million tears
If ever we were through

Never in a million moons
Could you ever be surpassed
And darling, for a million Junes
This love of ours will last

There would be no world for me
If ever we would part
Where I go, your name will be
Right on the tip of my heart

Only once in every lifetime
Someone just like you appears
Is there any greater glory
Any greater thrill?
No, never in a million years

When I embrace you
I hold the world in my caress
When I embrace you
What greater treasure can I possess?
You wonder why it is
That I love you so
I’ll tell you why it is
It’s because I know, that

Only once in every lifetime
Someone just like you appears
Is there greater glory?
Any greater thrill?
No, never, never in a million years

Insensatez (Roberto Carlos - Spanish Version)


Insensatez
(Adapted from: Insensatez by João Gilberto - 1961)
(English Version: How Insensitive - 1965)
Composer(s): Antonio Carlos Jobim; Vinícius de Moraes; Roberto Carlos
Performer(s): Roberto Carlos - 1997



Ah, que insensatez hiciste tú
Corazón más sin cuidado
Por un gran dolor lloro tu amor
Un amor tan delicado

Ah, porque razón hacer sufrir
Quien sólo amor te ha dado
Ah, mi corazón sólo hace así
Quien no sabe ser amado

Ve mi corazón dile a tu amor
Que tú estás arrepentido
Que lo que pasó fue insensatez
Y que ahora has comprendido

Ve mi corazón y con amor
Sincero, apasionado
Ve pide perdón pues por amor
Uno siempre es perdonado

Ve mi corazón y con amor
Sincero, apasionado
Ve pide perdón pues por amor
Uno siempre es perdonado

Never Had A Lady Before


Never Had A Lady Before
Composer(s): Burton Cummings
Performer(s): Burton Cummings; Tom Jones



I've had girls and I've had women
But I've never had a lady before
I been high and I been flyin'
But I've never been this crazy before
Saying sweet things that I really wanna hear
And it's coming as no surprise
Whatever we got is oh so hard to find
I realize too that a something like you
Doesn't come along everyday
And I'm turning over part of my mind to you now
I been loved, been befriended
But I never really bled before
I've seen brains and I've seen brilliance
But I never got 'em through my head before
Could've been a week or it could've been an hour
It could've been a thousand years
When I'm with you baby I'm losing my track of time
A little bit of me and a little bit of you
Is telling me to have no fears
And I'm turning over part of my mind to ya honey

(chorus)
Oooo Ooooo
Emotion just can't be denied
Oooo Ooooo
Feelin' only comes when we're side by side

I've had girls and I've had women
But I never had a lady before
Hey na na na
Never had a lady before
Hey no lady
Never had a lady before
Ahh ahhh ahhh
Never had a lady before
Hey now you're doin' it, whatever ya do I'm gonna like it
Never had a lady before
Don't know what you're doin' but you keep on doin' it baby
Never had a lady before

A insensatez que você fez, coração mais sem cuidado
Fez chorar de dor, o seu amor, um amor tão delicado
Ah, porque você foi fraco assim, assim tão desalmado
Ah, meu coração quem nunca amou, não merece ser amado
Vai meu coração ouve a razão, usa só sinceridade
Quem semeia vento, diz a razão, colhe sempre tempestade
Vai, meu coração pede perdão, perdão apaixonado
Vai porque quem não, pede perdão, não é nunca perdoado

I'll never grow old

Never Gonna Let You Go


Never Gonna Let You Go
Composer(s): Barry Mann; Cynthia Weil
Performer(s): Sergio Mendes;
Moonlight Orch.; Stevie Woods; Miguel Martin



I was as wrong as I could be
To let you get away from me
I'll regret that move
For as long as I'm livin'

But now that I've come to see the light
All I wanna do is make things right
So just say the word
And tell me that I'm forgiven

You and me
We're gonna be better than we were before
I loved you then but now I intend
To open up and love you even more
This time you can be sure

I'm never gonna let you go
I'm gonna hold you in my arms forever
Gonna try and make up for all the times
I hurt you so

Gonna hold your body close to mine
From this day on we're gonna be together
Oh I swear this time
I'm never gonna let you go

Looking back now
It seems so clear
I had it all when you were here
Oh you gave it all
And I took it for granted

But if there's some feeling left in you
Some flickers of love
That still shines through
Let's talk it out
Let's talk about second chances

Wait and see
It's gonna be sweeter than it was before
I gave some then but now I intend
To dedicate myself to giving more
This time you can be sure

I'm never gonna let you go
I'm gonna hold you in my arms forever
Gonna try and make up for all the times
I hurt you so

oh..So if you'll just say
You want me too...

I'm never gonna let you go
I'm gonna hold you in my arms forever
Gonna try and make up for all the times
I hurt you so

Inoubliable


Inoubliable
(English Version: Who Could Forget You)
Composer(s): Pierre Delanoë; Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Inoubliable
Jolie en diable
Créature de Dieu
Follement femme
Eau et flamme
L'amour pour toi n'est que
Jeux

Inoubliable
Comme le sable
Tu files entre les doigts
J'ai beau me dire
Que t'aimer c'est du délire
Oui mais ma vie, c'est toi
On s'est aimés, engagés
Enchaînés, désirés, déchirés
Comme des amants
Terribles et enragés
Mais hormis la mort
Rien ne peut nous briser
Unis éternellement
Dans un pacte plus fort
Que le sang

Inoubliable
Indispensable
Lumière de mon cœur
Tu me fascines
Nuit et jour tu illumines
Par ta présence
Mon existence
Assoiffée de bonheur

Inoubliable
Incontrôlable
Mi-ange et mi-démon
Sous tous tes masques
Tu restes belle et fantasque
Toi, fille d'Ève
Quand je te rêve
Au lit de mes passions

Innocenti Evasioni


Innocenti Evasioni
Composer(s): Lucio Battisti; Mogol
First release by: Lucio Battisti - 1972
Covered by multiple other artists



Che sensazione di leggera follia sta colorando l'anima mia
immaginando preparo il cuscino
qualcuno, è già nell'aria qualcuno, sorriso ingenuo e profumo
il giradischi, le luci rosse e poi
champagne ghiacciato e l'avventura può iniziare ormai
accendo il fuoco e mi siedo vicino
qualcuno, stasera arriva qualcuno, sorrido intanto che fumo
ma come mai tu qui stasera? Ti sbagli sai, non potrei
non aspettavo ti giuro nessuno!
Strana atmosfera, ma cosa dici mia cara?
Non sono prove, no no no: un po' di fuoco per scaldarsi un po'
e poca luce per sognarti, no ?
siediti qui accanto, anima mia ed abbandona la tua gelosia se puoi
combinazione ho un po' di champagne se vuoi, amore
come sei bella, amore, sorridi e lasciati andare!
chi può bussare a quest'ora di sera?
sarà uno scherzo o un amico, e chi lo sa?
no, non alzarti chiunque sia si stancherà
come sei bella amore, ho ancora un brivido in cuore!

Innocent And Vain


Innocent And Vain
Composer(s): Nico
Performer(s): Nico



The secrets that I do not know
I cannot understand them
A wanted series printed over
Words are his defences

The battle bracelets do not fit
My favourite gladiator
A fanatic hero piously
Has to be a faker

He is a dangerous creator
A master in his mortal cave
I am a savage violator
A valet innocent and vain

Never Give Up On A Good Thing


Never Give Up On A Good Thing
Composer(s): Tom Shapiro; Michael Garvin
Performer(s): George Benson



Never give up on a good thing
Remember what makes you happy [Whoa, whoa]
Never give up on a good thing
If love is what you got, you’ve got a lot

Money’s tight, he’s workin' every night
It ain’t easy to keep the flame alive
And when he finally comes home to ya
He’s just too tired to do the things you want to

You can’t help but wonder to yourself
How would it be with someone else
Just keep in mind, every storm ends in time
Love is forever, stay together

(Stay together) When you got something real
(Love forever) That you may never feel again

Never give up on a good thing
Remember what makes you happy [Whoa, whoa]
Never give up on a good thing
If love is what you got, you’ve got a lot

Now you’re the man, you’ve got to understand
She don’t mean to make a scene
Like you, she feels all the weight you’re under
And when she breaks, is it any wonder

I know sometimes it crosses your mind
To get on out and stay hard to find
Before you try, you’d better look in her eyes
Love is forever, stay together

(Stay together) You’ve got something real
(Love forever) That you may never feel again
(You’ve got a lot)

(Stay together)
(Love forever)
You’ve got something real
That you may never feel again

Never give up on a good thing
Remember what makes you happy (Oh, oh)
Never give up on a good thing
If love is what you got, you’ve got a lot

Don’t give up your good thing
Don’t give it, oh, don’t, oh, oh
Don’t give up your good thing
Please don’t, oh, don’t
Don’t live it up, don’t give it up

Never give up on a good thing
Remember what makes you happy (Oh, oh)
Never give up on a good thing
If love is what you got, you’ve got a lot

Never give up on a good thing (Oh, he’s all you need)
Remember what makes you happy (Whoa, whoa)
Never give up on a good thing
If love is what you got, you’ve got a lot

Never give up on a good thing (Oh, he’s all you need)
Remember what makes you happy (Whoa, oh)
Never give up on a good thing

Innamorato


Innamorato
Composer(s): Adelio Cogliati; Claudio Guidetti; Eros Ramazzotti
Performer(s): Gianni Morandi



Come adesso che ho bisogno della verità
scavo tutte le parole in profondità
e se quelle più sincere pesano di più
non le lascerò cadere se mi aiuti tu
E' per questo che ti cerco
per questo chiedo a te
non tenere il cuore spento
se vuoi sentire me...
E se poi tu vuoi capire lo puoi fare già
forse basta riscoprire la semplicità
ritrovare tutto il fiato
per dirtelo così
io che sono sempre stato
come adesso qui...
Innamorato
come forse tu ancora non lo sai
innamorato della vita
di quest'avventura
così vorrei che non finisse mai
che non finisse mai...
Io che ho sempre più bisogno della verità
scavo tutte le parole in profondità
per tirare fuori il meglio, l'anima che c'è
come adesso sto facendo qui davanti a te
Io non cambio questa strada
perché la sento mia
fino a che non ti avrò dato
anche l'ultima energia...
Innamorato
come forse tu ancora non lo sai
innamorato della vita
di quest'avventura
così vorrei che non venisse mai
Innamorato
della nuova primavera che mi dai
di questa musica leggera
che mi scopre ancora
innamorato
più che mai di te
Innamorato
di quest'avventura
così vorrei che non finisse mai
cha non finisse mai
non finisse mai
