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
(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
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

Everyday
Composer(s): Noddy Holder; Jim Lea
Performer(s): Slade
Everyday when I'm away
I'm thinking of you
Everyone can carry on
Except for we two
And you know that our love
And you know that I
And you know that our love won't die
Chorus
And it won't even show
And no-one will know
One little wave
To say you'll behave
It won't even show
How far love can go
Everyday when I'm away
And there's been a few
Every land I need a hand
To help me come through
And you know that our love
And you know that I
And you know that our love won't die

Got a snap in my fingers

Long as I've got a
Snap in my fingers
Got a rhythm in my walk
Got the devil to pay
I'm livin' in a great big way

Everyday, it's a getting closer
Going faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way, (hey, hey, hey)

True love from me?

I'm Livin' In Shame
I'm Livin' In Shame
Composer(s): Henry Cosby; Gordy Jr.; Pam Sawyer; R. Dean Taylor; Frank Wilson
Performer(s): Diana Ross & the Supremes
Mama was cookin' bread
She wore a dirty raggedy scarf around her head
Always had her stockings low
Rolled to her feet just didn't know
She wore a sloppy dress
Oh no matter how she tried she always looked a mess
Out of the pot she ate
Never used a fork or a dinner plate
I was always so afraid that
The uptown friends would see her
Afraid one day when I was grown
That I would be her
In college town away from here
A new identity I found
That I was born elite
With maids and servants at my feet
I must have been insane
I lied and said mama died on a weekend trip to Spain
She never got out of the house
Never even boarded a train
Married a guy, was living high
I didn't want him to know her
she had a grandson two years old
That I never even showed her
I'm living in shame
Mama, I miss you
I know you're not to blame
Mama, I miss you
Got a telegram
Mama passed away while making home made jam
before she died she cried to see me by her side
She always did her best
Ah cooked and cleaned and always in the same old dress
Working hard, down on her knees
Always trying to please
Mama, mama, mama can you hear me
Mama, mama, mama can you hear me
I'm living in shame
Mama, I miss you
I know you've done your best
Mama, I miss you
Won't you forgive me mama
For all the wrong I've done
I know you've done your best
Oh I know you've done the very best you could
Mama I thought you understood
Working hard, down on your knees
Mama you're always, always trying to please

I'm Little, But I'm Loud
I'm Little, But I'm Loud
Composer(s): Jimmy Dickens; Boudleaux Bryant
Performer(s): Little Jimmy Dickens
and multiple other artists
A lot of folks have told me I got poor, but I got right
A winter apple picked up in the fall
But even as a young'n I was not the bashful type
'Cause I could yell up loud to stop them all
I'm little, but I'm loud, I'm poor, but I'm proud
I'm countrified and I don't care who knows it
I'm like a Banty rooster in a big red rooster crowd
I'm puny, short and little, but I'm loud
I learned to do my singin' walkin' long behind the plow
The singin' teacher always passed me by
And so I had to sing the only way that I know how
Just rear back, open up and let her fly
I'm little, but I'm loud, I'm poor, but I'm proud
I'm countrified and I don't care who knows it
I'm like a Banty rooster in a big red rooster crowd
I'm puny, short and little, but I'm loud
I sang a special solo song in church one Sunday morn
And I was plumbin' barest to my skin
I hit a high and turned around, and as sure as I was born
Two cows and fourteen horses came walkin' in
I'm little, but I'm loud, I'm poor, but I'm proud
I'm countrified and I don't care who knows it
I'm like a Banty rooster in a big red rooster crowd
I'm puny, short and little, but I'm loud
I'm puny, short and little, but I'm loud

Everybody's Talkin'
Everybody's Talkin'
Composer(s): Fred Neil
Performer(s): Harry Nilsson;
and various other artists
Everybody's talking at me
I don't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind
People stopping staring
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Thru' the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Backing off of the North East wind
Sailing on summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone

Composer(s): Stanley Kesler; William Eugene Taylor
First recording/First release by: Elvis Presley - 1954/1955
Covered by multiple other artists
Well, you're right, I'm left, she's gone
You're right, and I'm left all alone
Well, you tried to tell me so
But how was I to know
That she was not the one for me
You told me all along
You're right, our love was so wrong
But now I changed my mind
Because she broke the ties that bind
And I know that she never cared for me
Well, I thought I knew just what she'd do
I guess I'm not so smart
Oh, you tried to tell me along she'd only break my heart
I'm left, you're right, she's gone
You're right, and I'm left all alone
Well, she's gone I know not where
But now I just don't care
For now I'm falling for you
If you'll forgive me now
I'll make it up somehow
So happy we will be
In a home just for three
And I'll soon forget her
Now I know
Well, I thought I knew just what she'd do
I guess I'm not so smart
You tried to tell me all along
She'd only break my heart
Well, you're right, I'm left, she's gone
You're right, and I'm left all alone
Well, she's gone, I know not where
But now I just don't care
For now I've fallen for you

Everybody's Somebody's Fool
Composer(s): Howard Greenfield - Jack Keller
Performer(s): Connie Francis - 1960
and multiple other artists
The tears I've cried for you could fill an ocean
But you don't care how many tears I cry
And though you only lead me on and hurt me
I couldn't bring myself to say goodbye
'Cause everybody's somebody's fool
Everybody's somebody's plaything
And there are no exceptions to the rule
Yes, everybody's somebody's fool
I told myself it's best that I forget you
Though I'm a fool, at least I know the score
Yet, darling, I'd be twice as blue without you
It hurts but I come running back for more
'Cause everybody's somebody's fool
Everybody's somebody's plaything
And there are no exceptions to the rule
Yes, everybody's somebody's fool
Someday you'll find the one you really care for
And if her love should prove to be untrue
You'll know how much this heart of mine is breaking
You'll cry for her the way I cried for you
'Cause everybody's somebody's fool
Everybody's somebody's plaything
And there are no exceptions to the rule
Yes, everybody's somebody's fool

I'm Leaving
I'm Leaving
Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
Living in a town that's on the brink of being a city
Won't satisfy my soul though the women may be pretty
My mind is made up
I have had enough
I'm leaving here today
Shops, walls, pavements, streets
Is all that I could find
From head to foot and toe to eye
I looked till I was blind
No matter what turns up
I'm leaving here
This place ain't good enough
You might think that I'm being funny
Just 'cause I won't spend my money here
Well let me tell you I have no objection
Except that I can find correction
Everywhere I go
Jump high in the sky unless you're feeling bitter
About walking down an empty street
With gutters full of litter
My mind is made up
I have had enough
I'm leaving here today, hey, hey
I'm going away
You might think that I'm being funny
Just 'cause I won't spend my money here
Well let me tell you I have no objection
Except that I can find correction
Everywhere I go
jump high in the sky unless you're feeling bitter
About walking down an empty street
With gutters full of litter
My mind is made up
I have had enough
I'm leaving here today, hey, hey
My mind is made up
I have had enough
I'm leaving right away, hey, hey
I'm going away
Getting out of this place
I know I've said it before
But this time I mean it
I'm leaving
Packing my bags and going away
Getting out of this place

Everybody's Out Of Town
Everybody's Out Of Town
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David
Performer(s): B.J. Thomas
Where have the people gone
Seems like there's no one hangin' on
Look through the window
The houses are empty
Hey, everybody's out of town
Seems like I'm the only one around
All of the streets are bare
No traffic tie-ups anywhere
Don't have to wait for a seat at the movie
Hey, everybody's out of town
Seems like, I'm the only one around
Everyone's moved out
From the ghetto
Lots of space
Empty apartments
No more pollution
Plenty of classrooms everyplace
And it looks like we're ready
To give it one more try
This time there'll be no alibi
I'm gonna send out a message to Noah
Hey, better send some people down
Everyone on earth
Is out of town

Where will I go, who will I have to lie beside me
Is it something that's inside me
I'm so lonely
Tried so hard each time, each time I just can't make it
Feelin' fast vibrations and I just can't take it
Living from day to day, chasing the dream

Everybody's On Their Way To Jersey
Everybody's On Their Way To Jersey
Composer(s): Garfield Kilgour;
Harry Akst; Lou Handman
There's a certain little State
No one thought was up to date
Jokes about it made a lot of fun
But folks are getting hunches
Going there in bunches
A mighty mob has started on the run
Tho' small in size that state is wise nobody hesitates
It's population soon will be the whole United States
People living there are fine
Each one has a friend named "Stein"
Anderson had better watch his step
The cops are in a fury
Each kitchen is a brewery
They brew those hops that fill you full of pep
From California Massachusetts, people far and near
A train they take to join the wake, and gather 'round the 'bier'
Everybody's on their way to Jersey
Everybody's going there to stay
And it's not the air
That they're going over there
There is something doing something brewing
OH! BOY! buckets of joy
Three and a half percent in dear old Jersey
Is not the dividends the bankers pay
Just hop on a train and tell the man
that you want to go where they rush the can
For everybody's on their way to Jersey
