Jealousy (Frankie Laine)


Jealousy
French Title: Jalousie
Composer(s): Jacob Gade; Vera Bloom
Performer(s): Frankie Laine;
and various other artists



Jealousy, night and day you torture me
I sometimes wonder, if this spell that I'm under
Can only be a melody, for I know no one but me
Has won your heart, but when the music starts

My peace departs from the moment
they play that lovely strain
And we surrender to all it's charm again
This jealousy that tortures me, is ecstasy, mystery, pain

We dance to a tango of love
Your heart beats with mine as we sway
You eyes give the answer I'm dreaming of
That soft word your cruel lips will never say

I fear that the music will end
And shatter the spell it may lend
To make me believe, when your eyes just deceive
But it's only the tango you love

I feal that the music will end
And shatter the spell it may lend
To make me believe, when your eyes just deceive
And, it's only the tango you love

It's only the tango that you love

Waarom laat je me nu toch zo alleen
Voor `t eerst was ik vanavond nummer Eén
Je zei ik hou van jou wel duizend keer
Maar nu ben ik toch weer alleen

Toch weet ik je heb al spijt
Omdat jij nu niet begrijpt
Dat ik zoveel van je hou ik
Wil nooit een andere vrouw

Ja ik dacht alleen aan jou
Ik gaf je liefde en m`n trouw
Je mag denken wat je wil schat
Ik hou van jou

Het kost jou toch geen moeite want ik ben niets
Een dure Rols voor jou voor mij een oude fiets
Vergeet maar niet wat jezelf bent geweest
Waarom waarom ben ik weer alleen

Toch voel ik je hebt al spijt
Omdat jij nu niet begrijpt
Dat ik zoveel van je hou ik
Wil nooit een andere vrouw

Je gaf me alles wat ik wou
Al je liefde en je trouw
Je mag denken wat je wil schat
Ik hou van jou

Toch voel ik je hebt al spijt
Omdat jij nu niet begrijpt
Dat ik zoveel van je hou ik
Wil nooit een andere vrouw

Je gaf me alles wat ik wou
Al je liefde en je trouw
Je mag denken wat je wil schat
Ik hou van jou

I Didn't Know About You


I Didn't Know About You
Composer(s): Duke Ellington; Bob Russell
First release by: Jo Stafford and The Pied Pipers with Paul Weston & His Orch. - 1944
Covered by multiple other artists



I went around with my own little croud
The usual laughs, not often but loud
And in the world that I knew
I didn't know about you
Chasing after the ring on the merry-go-round
Just taking my fun where it could be found
And yet what else could I do
I didn't know about you
Darling, now I know
I had the loneliest yesterday
Ev'ry day
In your arms I know for once in my life
I'm living
Had a good time ev'ry time I went out
Romance was the thing I kidded about
How could I know about love
I didn't know about you

Jealous Of You


Jealous Of You
Italian Title: Tango Della Gelosia
Composer(s): Marjorie Harper;
Vito Mascheroni; Peppino Mendes
Performer(s): Connie Francis; Lou Monte



Your eyes may thrill me with gladness
And tell me you`re true, dear
Yet thoughts still fill me with sadness
And what can I do, dear

I wonder if you are free
I wonder if you are free

Do you belong just to me
I`m always jealous of you, dear
I`m not to be
I am jealous of you, darling
Why am I so jealous, darling
Sad are the fancies that throng
Through my heart everyday
Lest someone else come along
Who can steal you away
All your beauty I would own
I would have you mine alone
Fear that someday we may part
Still consumes me with pain
What would become of my heart
If I loved you in vain

Morire D'amore


Morire D'amore
((Adapted from: Mourir D'aimer (Charles Aznavour) - 1971))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Giorgio Calabrese
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour - 1971

Versions In Other Languages:
1972 - To Die Of Love (Charles Aznavour)
2002 - Ik Hou Van Jou (André Hazes)



Sento sfuggirmi dalle dita
Ogni appiglio della vita
E sò già come finirò
Morire d'amore
Visto che il mondo mi accusa
Ogni altra via resta chiusa
Non saprai quando me ne andrò
Morire d'amore

Morire d'amore, il mio unico giorno con te
Pagarlo al prezzo più alto che c'è
Ma chi mi capirà
non mi condannerà
La gente è piena di problemi
Piccole idee, soliti schemi
Entro cui io non entrerò
Morire d'amore

Per amare te fino in fondo
Posso dire basta al mondo
E sarà logico per me
Morire d'amore
Ormai sulla mia vita è scesa
La rabbia triste della resa
Ma non sò rinunciare a te
Morire d'amore

Morire d'amore, andar via senza tanti perchè
Dove posso portare con me
Solo ciò che eravamo noi due
E che eri tu
Non ci sarà un altro incontro
Tu eri l'alba ed io il tramonto
Me ne andrò rimpiangendo te
Morire d'amore
Morire d'amore
Morire d'amore

I Did What I Could With My Gas Mask


I Did What I Could With My Gas Mask
Composer(s): Isaacs; Leslie
Performer(s): George Formby



Now I'm getting very fond of my gasmask I declare
It hardly ever leaves my side
I sling it on my back and I take it everywhere
It even comes to bed at night

It's been a real good pal to me I must confess
And helped me out of many a mess
My sister had a lot of socks to mend
So she gave me a fat bouncing baby to tend
And when I felt it leaking at one end
Well I did what I could with my gas mask

I bought a farm because I like fresh air
At milking time a try to do my share
And when I found the bucket wasn't there
I did what I could with my gasmask

The lady living next door, Mrs. Hicks
She heard the sirens blow one morn at ten to six
She dashed outside in nothing but her nicks
But she knew what to do with her gasmask

By train I went for a very tiring ride
There wasn't any corridor outside
And when I felt the turning of the tide
Well I did what I could with my gasmask

To see old Epstein's Adam in the nude
I once thought I'd go with my Aunt Ermintrude
And when she sniffed and said 'Uh!' how very rude
Still he knows what to do with his gas mask

For years I've courted Anabella Price
And always found her just as cold as ice
Until one night the lass forgot her ma's advice
Then I did what I could with my gasmask

Jealous Minds


Jealous Minds
Composer(s): Kevin Hayes; Jimmy Pugh
Performer(s): Robert Cray Band



Some people live to ruin a love so fine
They know they'll never have what's yours and mine
I know things won't get any better while we're apart
So stop talking to your friends, and try listening with your heart

They always try to tell you all that they see
Jealous minds will tell you what they think about me
They'll show themselves in time
To be nothing but jealous minds

I took you out to a party, a high-class afair
You were talking to your friends, like I wasn't there
You told them that living with me has really been one big chore
Oh, then maybe I should leave, and you'd appreciate me more

They always try to tell you all that they see
Jealous minds will tell you what they think about me
They'll show themselves in time
To be nothing but jealous minds

Oh, tell your friends when you see them
When you see them again
Tell them about the hard times, how we survived the pain
Then don't waste any more time
Because they're nothing but jealous minds

Jealous minds
Ohhhh, they're nothing but jealous minds
Hey, hey
Jealous minds
Hey, hey
Jealous minds
Always trying to tell you what they think of me
Hey, hey, hey
Jealous minds

To Die Of Love


To Die Of Love
((Adapted from: Mourir D'aimer (Charles Aznavour) - 1971))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Howard Liebling
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour - 1972

Versions In Other Languages:
1971 - Morire D'amore (Charles Aznavour)
2002 - Ik Hou Van Jou (André Hazes)



I reach to touch the walls around me
The shadows of the night surround me
Alone I face my destiny: to die of love

They say our love has been forbidden
but what we feel can not be hidden
It's very possible, you see, to die of love
It's very possible, you see, to die of love

How to live far forever with you
just to live life together with you
that's the choice that I make and a chance I must take
To live, my love must find expression
and so I make my last confession
without you it's my destiny, to die of love
This world of ours does not grow younger
some die of illness, some of hunger
I stand before eternity, to die of love

That's why I try to find a way now
I only live from day to day now
and yet it's possible you see, to die of love
and yet it's possible you see, to die of love

How to live far forever with you
just to live life together with you
that's the choice that I make and a chance I must take
I hear their whispers when they see us
If all their words condemn or free us
I wonder will they sentence me?
To die of love
To die of love
To die of love

I destroyed (Oh) your love (Oh, yeah…eah…eah…)

I destroyed (Oh) your love (Yes)
I destroyed

Jealous Mind


Jealous Mind
Composer(s): Pete Shelley
Performer(s): Alvin Stardust



Why is it I must know
The things you're doing
A-wah-ah-oh-oh
It's just my jealous mind

And when you're not at home
I just can't take it
A-wah-ah-oh-oh
It's just my jealous mind

I dread the time when you might leave me
Deep in my heart I know you'll never go
Say you won't leave me

You could be out with him
And I would never know
A-wah-ah-oh-oh
It's just my jealous mind

I dread the time when you might leave me
Deep in my heart I know you'll never go
Say you won't leave me

Stay with me all the time
Say there's no other guy
A-wah-ah-oh-oh
It's just my jealous mind

I love you so-oh
It's just my jealous mind
Forgive my jealous mind
It's just my jealous mind
Blame it on my jealous mind
I can't help my jealous mind
It's just my jealous mind

Eadie Was A Lady


Eadie Was A Lady
Composer(s): Richard Whiting - Nacio Herb Brown - Buddy De Sylva
Performer(s): Ethel Merman
and multiple other artists



Maud and Mabel, seated at a table
Talking over bygone days
Mabel sporty, fat and over forty
Said, “Remember Edith Hayes”

Eadie was a sucker for a bottle and glass
But in spite of everything that gal had class
Then one winter, she wed a Chinese printer
Struck her with refined like ways

But Eadie was a lady (Eadie was a lady)
Though her past was shady (Though her past was shady)
Eadie had class, with a capital K

Though her life was merry (Though her life was merry)
She had savoir fairey (Talking of savoir fairey)
Eadie did things in a ladylike way

She would have a golden toothpick handy
After meals she’d flash it about
Remember how she used to drink her brandy
With her finger sticking well out

For Eadie was a lady (Eadie was a lady)
Ask P.I. O’Grady
Eadie had class, with a capital K

I Cross My Heart


I Cross My Heart
Composer(s): Eric Kaz; Steve Dorff
First release by: George Strait - 1992
Covered by multiple other artists



Our love is unconditional
We knew it from the start
I can see it in your eyes
You can feel it from my heart
From here on after
Let's stay the way we are right now
And share all the love and laughter
That a lifetime will allow

I cross my heart
And promise to
Give all I've got to give
To make all your dreams come true
In all the world
You'll never find
A love as true as mine

You will always be the miracle
That makes my life complete
And as long as there's still breath in me
I'll make yours just as sweet
As we look into the future
It's as far as we can see
So let's make each tomorrow
Be the best that it can be

I cross my heart
And promise to
Give all I've got to give
To make all your dreams come true
In all the world
You'll never find
A love as true as mine

And if along the way we find a day
It starts to pour
You've got the promise of my love
To keep you warm

Don’t ever kiss, no one but me
If you do Dear you’ll break my heart

Just say you love me too Dear, and be careful what you do Dear

To Cheat Or Not To Cheat


To Cheat Or Not To Cheat
Composer(s): Bobby Barker
Performer(s): Moe Bandy



While she watches the late show on the TV
I'm watchin' some girl I just met take down her hair
At home she's turnin' down the bed and fluffin' pillows
While I wonder will I stay here when I should be there

To cheat or not to cheat, that's the question
That's been runnin' through my mind all evenin' long
To cheat or not to cheat, what's the answer
Should I stay with her or should I go home

While she's standin' by the window watchin' for me
Another stands by me just two steps away
My mind can see her in the blue gown I bought for her
But my eyes are fixed on a see through negligee

To cheat or not to cheat, that's the question
That's been runnin' through my mind all evenin' long
To cheat or not to cheat, what's the answer
Should I stay with her or should I go home

While she makes another midnight pot of coffee
We're mixin' up just one last glass of gin
And before I even cheat I'm feelin' guilty
And gin can't dim these butterflies within

To cheat or not to cheat that's the question
That's been runnin' through my mind all evenin' long
To cheat or not to cheat what's the answer
Now I'm pullin' in my driveway here at home

Jealous Heart
Composer(s): Jenny Lou Carson
Performer(s): Tex Ritter;
and various other artists



Jealous Heart, Oh, Jealous Heart stop beating
Can't you see the damage you have done
You have driven him/her away forever
Jealous Heart, now I'm the lonely one

I was part of ev'rything he/she planned for
And I know he/she loved me at the start
Now he/she hates the sight of all I stand for
All because of you, old Jealous Heart

Jealous Heart, why did I let you lead me
When I knew the end would bring me pain
Now he's/she's gone, he's/she's gone and found another
Oh, I'll never see my love again

Through the years his/her memory will haunt me
Even though we're many miles apart
It's so hard to know he'll/she'll never want me
'Cause he/she heard your beating Jealous Heart

Many times I trusted you to guide me
But your guiding only brought me tears
Why oh why must I have you inside me
Jealous Heart, for all my lonely years

I Cried For You


I Cried For You
Composer(s): Gus Arnheim; Arthur Freed; Abe Lyman
First release by: Benny Krueger & His Orch. (instrumental) - 1923
Covered by multiple other artists



I remember other days, how I used to weep
Over things you said to me, I couldn't even sleep
You forgot your promises ev'ry single vow
All you did was laugh at me but things are diff'rent now

I cried for you
Now it's your turn to cry over me
Ev'ry road has a turning
That's one thing you're learning

I cried for you
What a fool I used to be
Now I found two eyes just a little bit bluer
I found a heart just a little bit truer

I cried for you
Now it's your turn to cry over me

How can I forget the hours that I worried through
Wondering the live-long day just what next thing to do
In those days you never thought anything of me
But the slave that was all yours and now at last is free

I cried for you
Now it's your turn to cry over me
Ev'ry road has a turning
That's one thing you're learning

I cried for you
What a fool I used to be
Now I found two eyes just a little bit bluer
I found a heart just a little bit truer

I cried for you
Now it's your turn to cry over me

Jealous Heart (Dolly Parton)


Jealous Heart
Performer(s): Dolly Parton



Mine is a jealous heart
Imagines things that never are
Builds a fire from a tiny spark
But that's the way of a jealous heart

Sunny skies and a rosy bed
Thorns and storm clouds up ahead
'Cause suddenly the sky turns dark
For those of us with a jealous heart

Imagination runnin' wild
Like a frantic frightened child
Any time that we're apart
I can't control my jealous heart

And you know mine is a jealous heart
And every hurt leaves a lasting scar
Don't you hate yourself for the fool you are
When you're cursed with a jealous heart

I love you more than words can tell
One day's heaven two days hell
Suspicious words like poison darts
Spoken from my jealous heart

Mine is a jealous heart
Imagines things that never are
Builds a fire from a tiny spark
But that's the way of a jealous heart

And you know mine, you know mine is a jealous heart
And every hurt, and every hurt leaves a lasting scar
Don't you hate yourself for the fool you are
When you're cursed with a jealous heart

And you know mine, you know mine is a jealous heart
Imagines things, imagines things that never are
Builds a fire from a tiny spark
But that's the way of a jealous heart

To Bobby


To Bobby
Composer(s): Joan Baez
Performer(s): Joan Baez



I'll put flowers at your feet
And I will sing to you so sweet
And hope my words will carry home to your heart
You left us marching on the road
And said how heavy was the load
The years were young, the struggle barely at its start

Do you hear the voices in the night, Bobby
They're crying for you
See the children in the morning light, Bobby
They're dying

No one could say it like you said it
We'd only try and just forget it
You sood alone upon the mountain 'til it was sinking
And in a frenczy we tried to reach you
With looks and letters we would beseech you
Never knowing what, where or how you were thinking

Do you hear the voices in the night, Bobby
They're crying for you
See the children in the morning light, Bobby
They're dying

Perhaps the pictures in the Times
Could no longer be put in rhymes
When all the eyes of starving children are wide open
You cast aside the cursed crown
And put your magic into a sound
That made me think your heart was aching, or even broken

But if God hears my complaint He will forgive you
And so will I, in all respect, I'll just relive you
And likewise you must understand the things we give you

Like these flowers at yur door
And scribbled notes about the war
We're only saying that time is short and there is work to do
And we're stilll marching on the streets
With little victories and big defeats
But there is joy, and there is hope, and there's a place for you

Do you hear the voices in the night, Bobby
They're crying for you
See the children in the morning light, Bobby
They're dying
