(Can I) Find The Right Words (To Say)


(Can I) Find The Right Words (To Say) Composer(s): Jimmy Destri - Debbie Harry Performer(s): Blondie



Look up the right words
The ones for today
And use them correctly
And mean what I say
Answer the questions
Crossword confession
Interrogation
I'm down, can we meet
Is it true, do you cheat?
How far can I go?
How much do you know?
What's the definition?
How much did she mention?
How much does she know?
Can I find the right words to say?
The right words are so hard to say

It's a challenger puzzle
From the magazine section
Across with the questions
Do the ethics of reference
One hundred twenty brain teasers to torment you
One hundred thoughts
I can't find the right words to say
My meaning's not quite getting through
The right words are so hard to say
Can I find the right words for you?

Let's not hedge our bets
'Cause the odds are dependent
Please listen instead
Now the whispers are ending
The point's misleading
As points often do
Can I find the right words for you?

This here's a story 'bout Billy Joe and Bobby Sue
Two young lovers with nothin' better to do
Than sit around the house, get high and watch the tube
And here's what happened when they decided to cut loose

That's where they ran into a great big hassle

You know, he knows just exactly what the facts is
He ain't gonna let those two escape justice
He makes his living off of the people's taxes

Bobby Sue, oh, she slipped away
Billy Joe caught up to her the very next day
They got the money, hey, you know they got away
They headed down south and they're still running today
Singin'

Go on, take the money and run
Go on, take the money and run
Oo, oo, oo
Go on, take the money and run
Go on, take the money and run
Oo, oo, oo ...

Move Over Moon


Move Over Moon
Composer(s): Kate McGarrigle
Performer(s): Kate & Anna McGarrigle



My horoscope warns me don't talk to strangers
Talk dark and handsome or short bald and plain
My soothsayer says to sit tight
And wait for my stars to get rearranged

So don't talk to me
Don't bother me
I'm just waiting for my heavens to change

Move over Moon
Get out of Uranus
'cause this house is anxious
For the sun to come in
'cause it's on the rise
It's on the rise
It's time for my new day to begin
So move over Moon

I sit at my window
By the first light of dawn
Tapping on the glass
As I worry out loud
I'm waiting for a wind to blow
And break up this sinister cloud
Till the stillness and calm of the early morning snaps
With the screeching of tires and the honkin' of the horns
They're pushin' and shovin' downtown
God knows nerves are frayed and badly torn
Still don't talk to me, don't bother me
I don't know yet what aspect is formed

Here is my nickel and here is my dime
Go down to the corner and buy me the Times
And look it up, look it up
Tell me if my planets are all in a line
All in a line

Move Over Moon
Get out of Uranus
'cause this house is anxious for the Sun to come in
'cause it's on the rise, it's on the rise
It's time for my new day to begin
So Move over Moon

(Come 'Round Here) I'm The One You Need


(Come 'Round Here) I'm The One You Need Composer(s): Eddie Holland - Lamont Dozier - Brian Holland First release by: The Miracles - 1966 Covered by multiple other artists



Now you say every time you need some affection
The one you love goes in another direction
And you just sit there in a daze reminiscing
When you know some other lips he's been kissing

Now when you need the love he's never shown you come round here
And when you need some loving arms to hold you come round here
Now I may not be the one you want
Oh But I know I'm the one you need
Said I may not be the one you want
Ooh but I know I'm the one you need

Your life stands still the minute he goes
You count the hours just hoping he shows
Girl can't you see while you're longing for his touch
That I'm the one who loves you so much
While you're longing for his embrace
You're all alone there with tears on your face

Now when you feel the need to cry to someone cry to me
And when you feel the need to lean on someone lean on me
Now I may not be the one you want but I sure 'nuff the one you need
Oh baby I may not be the one you want ooh but I know I'm the one you need

Now the days the days you sit alone by yourself
He's out fooling round with somebody else
Leaving you alone here with nothing to do
Just waiting 'till he has time for you

Now when the loneliness gets hard to bear girl come round here
And when you need a little tender loving care girl come round here
Now I may not be the one you want
But I know I'm the one you need ...

Take The Long Way Home


Take The Long Way Home
Composer(s): Rick Davies - Roger Hodgson
Supertramp - 1979



So you think you're a Romeo
playing a part in a picture-show
Take the long way home
Take the long way home

Cos you're the joke of the neighborhood
Why should you care if you're feeling good
Take the long way home
Take the long way home

But there are times that you feel you're part of the scenery
all the greenery is comin' down, boy
And then your wife seems to think you're part of the
furniture oh, it's peculiar, she used to be so nice

When lonely days turn to lonely nights
you take a trip to the city lights
And take the long way home
Take the long way home

You never see what you want to see
Forever playing to the gallery
You take the long way home
Take the long way home

And when you're up on the stage, it's so unbelievable
unforgettable, how they adore you,
But then your wife seems to think you're losing your sanity
oh, calamity, is there no way out?

Does it feel that you life's become a catastrophe?
Oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy
When you look through the years and see what you could
have been oh, what might have been
if you'd had more time

So, when the day comes to settle down
Who's to blame if you're not around?
You took the long way home

Move On Up


Move On Up
Composer(s): Curtis Mayfield
Originally performed by: Curtis Mayfield
Covered by various other artists



Hush now child and don't you cry
Your folks might understand you by and by
Move on up towards your destination
You may find from time to time
Complications

Bite your lip and take a trip
Though there may be wet road ahead
You cannot slip
So move on up and peace you will find
Into the steeple of beautiful people
Where there's only one kind

So hush now child and don't you cry
Your folks might understand you by and by
Just move on up and keep on wishing
Remember your dreams are your only schemes
So keep on pushing
Take nothing less - not even second best
And do not obey - you must have your say
You can past the test

Move on up!

Take The L (Out Of Lover)


Take The L (Out Of Lover)
Composer(s): Marty Jourard - Martha Davis
Performer(s): The Motels; Barbie Anaka



Watching my hands
Holding my face
One more evening gone to waste
No longer do I know my place

Killing time and missing my cues
Watching her belong to you
Tears could only change my view

Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over
Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over

Growing up has always been tough
Good intentions never good enough
I would take you far away
Do anything to make you stay

Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over
Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over
Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over

Every drink and cigarette
All those times we never met
There are things we should forget
Now it's over, over

Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over
Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over
Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over
Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over
Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over
Take the "L" out of Lover and it's over

Move On Alone


Move On Alone
Composer(s): Mick Abrahams
Performer(s): Jethro Tull; Blodwyn Pig



I feel so sad now that she's gone
I've been loving that woman too long
There is no place to go because my friends have all moved
Got nothing but sit in the sun
Got tired of crying, guess I'll move on alone

My bed is so empty and my heart is grown cold
guess I'll just die before I grow old
The place is untidy, that's `cos I ain't done my dirt
I just grown tired of thinking
Got tired of crying, guess I'll move on alone

Long Live Love (Olivia Newton-John)


Long Live Love
Composer(s): Valerie Avon - Harold Spiro
First performance by: Olivia Newton-John - 1974



Long, long live love
Love is to care
Caring and sharing
Long, long live love
All the kids like ten tin soldiers in a row
Followed hand in hand
Sister Anna carrying the banner for the Sally Annie band
Singing songs of praise and glory
We all learn to love their story
Good things are coming to you
Glory, glory hallelujah
Long, long live love
As long as we live
Living and giving
Long, long live love
On a wet day, dry day, great to be alive day
Brother takes the stand
Cymbals ringing, everybody singing with the Sally Annie band
Just a band of happy people
Teaching, preaching love is equal
When you feel the spirit move you
Glory, glory hallelujah
Long, long live love
Love is to care
Caring and sharing
Long, long live love, love, love, love, love
Ohhh
Long, long live love
As long as we live
Living forgiving
Long, long live love

Came in last night at half past ten
That baby of mine wouldn't let me in
So move it on over (move it on over)

Move over skinny dog cause the fat dog's moving in

This dog house here is mighty small
But it's better than no house at all
So ease it on over (move it on over)
Drag it on over (move it on over)
Move over old dog cause a new dog's moving in

She told me not to play around
But I done let the deal go down
So pack it on over (move it on over)
Tote it on over (move it on over)
Move over nice dog cause a mad dog's moving in

She warned me once, she warned me twice
But I don't take no one's advice
So scratch it on over (move it on over)
Shake it on over (move it on over)
Move over short dog cause the tall dog's moving in

She'll crawl back to me on her knees
I'll be busy scratching fleas
So slide it on over (move it on over)
Sneak it on over (move it on over)
Move over good dog cause a mad dog's moving in

Remember pup, before you whine
That side's yours and this side's mine
So shove it on over (move it on over)
Sweep it on over (move it on over)
Move over cold dog cause a hot dog's moving in

Take That To The Bank


Take That To The Bank
Performer(s): Shalamar



Take that to the bank
Take that to the bank

A long time we stayed together
Been through the roughest weather, you and I
Still rich with love
We never had to borrow
And baby, only we know why

I’m so glad I saved my love for you
And I did what I had to do
I invested my heart so free
For what you gave me

Open your account to me
‘Cause I’ll give you security, my love
Take that to the bank
My interest is strong
I got a love you can count on, baby love
Take that to the bank

Best believe I shopped around
Good insurance you have found in me
Don’t you worry
No one can steal my heart
Our contract can’t be torn apart
That easily

‘Cause we build a strong love affair
On investments of equal share
Two hearts that beat as one
Just look what love has done

Dime in the socket
Just like money in my pocket, baby love
Take that to the bank
I know how to treat a man
With me you’re in good hands, baby love
Take that to the bank

Keep savin’, keep buildin’ (Baby)
That interest for our love
Take that to the bank
Keep savin’, keep buildin’ (Sugar)
That interest for our love
Take that to the bank

(Huh) Save on love
Save it for me, baby
(Huh) Save on love, yeah

Take that to the bank
Take that to the bank

Keep savin’, keep buildin’
That interest for our love {Love}
Take that to the bank
Keep savin’, keep buildin’
That interest for our love {Love}
Take that to the bank

Open your account to me
‘Cause I’ll give you security, my love
Take that to the bank
My interest is strong
I got a love you can count on, baby love

Come on, pretty baby, lets a-move it and a-groove it
Well-a shake, oh baby shake, oh honey please don't lose it

Take That Look Off Your Face


Take That Look Off Your Face
((Dutch Version: Waarom Lach Je Naar Mij (Sanne) - 1996))
Composer(s): Don Black - Andrew Lloyd Webber
First release by: Marti Webb - 1980
Covered by multiple other artists



You must be mistaken, it couldn't have been
You couldn't have seen him yesterday
He's doin' some deal up in Baltimore now
I hate it when he's away

You must be mistaken, I'm sure that you are
There's more than one car with stickers on
And lots of young guys wear corduroy pants
And I'd know if he hadn't gone

Take that look off your face (Take that look off your face)
I can see through your smile (I can see through your smile)
You would love to be right
I bet you didn't sleep good last night
Couldn't wait to bring all of that bad news to my door
Well I've got news for you, I knew before

If I'm not mistaken it started last year
I'm not very clear how it began
I noticed the change but I just closed my eyes
As only a woman can

So I didn't dig deep (So I didn't dig deep)
I did not want to know (I did not want to know)
Well you don't interfere
When you're scared of the things you might hear
When you thought, you think I will end this right there and then
Well, my fair weather friend, you're wrong again

(Take that look off your face) Take that look off your face
(I can see through your smile) I can see through your smile
You would love to be right
I bet you didn't sleep good last night
Couldn't wait to bring all of that bad news to my door
Well I've got news for you, I knew befo-o-o-o-o-o-o-ore

(Take that look off your face)
I can see through your smile (I can see through your smile)
You would love to be right
I bet you didn't sleep good last night
Couldn't wait to bring all of that bad news to my door
Well I've got news for you, I knew befo-o-o-o-o-o-o-ore

(Take that look off your face)
I can see through your smile (I can see through your smile)
You would love to be right
I bet you didn't sleep good last night
Couldn't wait to bring all of that bad news to my door
Well I've got news for you, I knew befo-o-o-o-o-o-o-ore ...
