Composer(s): Harvey Fuqua; Johnny Bristol; Vernon Bullock
First release by: Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists
Marvin:
If I could build my whole world around you, darlin'
First I'd put heaven by your side
Pretty flowers would grow wherever you walk, honey
And over your head would be the bluest sky
And I'd take every drop of rain
And wash all your troubles away
I'd have the whole world built around you
And that would be all right, oh yes it would
Tammi:
If I could build my whole world around you
I'd make your eyes the morning sun
I'd put so much love where there is sorrow
I'd put joy where there's never been love
And I'd give my love to you
To keep for the rest of your life
And happiness would surely be ours
And that would be all right, oh yes it would
Both:
Doo doo doo doo...
Marvin:
Oh, if I could build my whole world around you
I'd give you the greatest gift any woman could possess
T: And I'd step into this world you've created
And give you true love and tenderness
And there'd be something new with every tomorrow
To make this world better as days go by
(repeat):
Marvin: If I could build my whole world around you
Tammi: If I could build my whole world around you
Both: Then that would be all right, oh yeah

Composer(s): Richie Furay; Timothy B. Schmit
Performer(s): Poco
Don't tell me that we're goin' down a oneway

Don't tell me we got no right to be choosin'
Hear me, somebody, are ya sure now?
If you think the way we're goin' ain't confusin'
Hear me, somebody, take a look now
Changes stranded in fear
Keep on believin' keepin' it clear,
Good times will fin'lly arrive,
It's been so long, come along, come on along
Don't tell me that it's gettin' down to bleedin'
Hear me, somebody, where are we goin'?
When ev'ry day has the answer to the question
Don't ya know it's been a-showin'?
Changes stranded in fear
Keep on believin' keepin' it clear
Good times will fin'lly arrive
It's been so long, come along, come on along

The Best Things Happen While You're Dancing
The Best Things Happen While You're Dancing
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney
and multiple other artists
The best things happen while you're dancing
Things that you would not do at home come nat'rally on the floor
For dancing soon becomes romancing
When you hold a girl in your arms that you've never held before
Even guys with two left feet
Come out all right if the girl is sweet
If by chance their cheeks should meet
While dancing
Proving that the best things happen while you dance

Performer(s): Jack Teagarden
and multiple other artists
I'm so blue, I don't know what to do
All day through, I seem to say to you
I did wrong when I let you go away
'Cause now I dream about you night and day
I'm so unhappy and dissatisfied
I'll be happy if I had you by my side
If I could be with you one li'l hour tonight
And free to do all those little things I might
I want you to know you wouldn't go
Until I told you that I loved you so
If I could be with you I'd love you long
If I could be with you I'd love you strong
And I'm telling you for true, you'd be anything but blue
If I could be with you

Foolin' Myself
Composer(s): Jack Lawrence - Peter Tinturin
Performer(s): Billie Holiday
I tell myself I'm through with love
And I'll having nothing more to do with love
I stay away but every day
I'm just foolin' myself
I tell my friends that I don't care
I shrug my shoulders at the whole affair
But they all know it isn't so
I'm just foolin' myself
And every time I pass
And see my face in a looking glass
I tip my hat and say
How do you do you fool
You're throwing your life away
I'm acting gay I'm acting proud
And every time I see you in a crowd
I may pretend but in the end
I'm just foolin' myself

Composer(s): W.C. Handy
Performer(s): W.C. Handy's Memphis Blues Band
and multiple other artists
Ever since Miss Susan Johnson lost her Jockey Lee
There has been much excitement, more to be
You can hear her moaning night and morn
"Wonder where my Easy Rider's gone?"
Cablegrams come of sympathy, telegrams go of inquiry
Letters come from down in "Bam"
And everywhere that Uncle Sam has a rural delivery
All day the phone rings, but it's not for me
At last good tidings fill our hearts with glee
This message comes from Tennessee
Dear Sue, your easy rider struck this burg today
On a southboun' rattler, side door Pullman car
Seen him here an' he was on the hog
Easy rider's gotta stay away
So he had to vamp it but the hike ain't far
He's gone where the Southern cross the Yellow Dog

Performer(s): Anita O'Day
and multiple other artists
I told you I love you, now get out

But just how much can a good gal take?
I told you I love you, now get out
There may be times when I need you, there's no doubt
Baby, now you're something I can do without
Leave your number and go on home
But don't wait with sandwiches by the phone
I told you I love you, now get out
Baby, please leave me be
You want a puppet, and there's no strings on me
Get out, you can leave on the five - eighteen
Now don't go 'way sayin' I been mean
'Cause like any woman, I can change my ways
And a round-trip ticket's good for 60 days
I told you I love you, now get out -- for now

If I Can't Sell It, I'll Keep Sittin' On It
Composer(s): Alexander Hill; Andy Razaf
Performer(s): Ruth Brown
and multiple other artists
I own a secondhand furniture store
and I think my prices are fair
that is until this real cheap guy I know came in one day
Saw this chair he wanted to buy, but he wouldn’t, claimed the price was too high
So I looked ‘im straight in the eye, and this was my reply…
If I can’t sell it, I’m gonna sit down on it
Why should I give it away?
Now darling if you want it
you got to buy it
And I mean just what I say
Now how would you like to find this
waitin at home for you every night
Only been used once or twice
and it’s still nice and Tight!
Whoa…
But if I can’t sell it
I’m gonna keep sittin on it
I don’t see the need
to give it away
Now you can’t find a better pair of legs in town
and a back like this, huh, not for miles around
And that is why if I can’t sell it
I’m going to recline upon it
Why should I give it away?
Because it’s made for comfort
built for wear and tear
Where else could you find
such an easy chair!
Haa… Whoa…
If I can’t sell it
I’m gonna remain seated on it
I ain’t about to give it away
Because it’s lush, plush, slick and sleak
Darling, a high class piece like this
at any price
is cheap!
So if I can’t sell it
I’m a remain seated on it
I don’t see the need to give it away
Now look at this nice bottom
ain’t it easy on the eye
guaranteed to support any weight or size!
If I can’t sell it, I’m gonna sit down on it
I ain’t about to give it away
Now, I have really had my fill
of folks always comin around
with their hands stuck out
want something
don’t want to give up nothing
Now if you want this
put your hand in your stash
and give me some cash
If you want something for free
go to the Salvation Army
don’t come to me
Now this is not Saint Vincent de Paul’s place
this is Ruth’s place
Read my lips

Every time I cook, look like you can't get enough
Fix you a pot of soup and make you drink it up

Oh, play it now, Mr. Charlie1
Yes, man! Just keep on eating

Take you around the corner and give you a chance to grab
So keep on a-eating
Oh, keep on a-eating
Keep on eating, baby, till you get enough
I've cooked and cooked till I done got tired
Can't fill you up off of my fried apple pie
So keep on a-eating

I know you got a bad cold and you can't smell
I ain't gonna give you something that I can't sell
So keep on a-eating
Oh, keep on a-eating

It Started All Over Again
It Started All Over Again
Composer(s): Bill Carey - Carl Fischer
Performer(s): Jo Stafford
and multiple other artists
It started all over again
The moment I looked in your eyes
It started all over again
The thrill we can never disguise
The day that we parted, so broken hearted
Will never return again
Dreams I've delayed, promises made
Are starting anew, just for you
It started all over again
The moment I held you so tight
It started all over again
When we kissed away the night - till dawn's early light
Now were together, sweethearts forever
We'll build our romance anew
It started all over again
The moment I looked at you

If I Can't Love Her
If I Can't Love Her
Composer(s): Alan Menken; Tim Rice
Performer(s): Terrence Mann
and multiple other artists
Beast:
And in my twisted face, there's not the slightest trace
Of anything that even hints at kindness
And from my tortured shape, no comfort, no escape
I see, but deep within is utter blindness
Hopeless as my dream dies, as the time flies, love a lost illusion
Helpless, unforgiven, cold and driven to this sad conclusion
No beauty could move me, no goodness improve me
No power on earth, if I can't love her
No passion could reach me, no lesson could teach me
How I could have loved her and make her love me, too
If I can't love her, then who?
Long ago I should have seen all the things I could have been
Careless and unthinking, I moved onward!
No pain could be deeper, no life could be cheaper
No point anymore, if I can't love her!
No spirit could win me, no hope left within me
Hope I could have loved her and that she'd set me free!
But it's not to be
If I can't love her, let the world be done with me

Keep On Lovin' You
Keep On Lovin' You
Composer(s): Kevin Cronin
Performer(s): RE0 Speedwagon
You should've seen by the look in my eyes, baby
There was somethin missin
You should've known by the tone of my voice, maybe
But you didn't listen
You played dead
But you never bled
Instead you lay still in the grass
All coiled up and hissin
And though I know all about those men
Still I don't remember
Cause it was us baby, way before then
And we're still together
And I meant, every word I said
When I said that I love you I meant
That I love you forever
And I'm gonna keep on lovin you
Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on lovin you
(solo)
And I meant every word I said
When I said that I love you I meant
That I love you forever
(chorus)

Performer(s): Woody Herman
and multiple other artists
Let me love you tonight
Let me tell you how much I adore all your charms
Though you leave me tomorrow for this night we'll borrow a love song
Let me love you tonight
Let me thrill to the touch of your sheltering arms
Til the scent of the roses caresses and closes your eyes
Let me kiss you tonight
While the stars in the sky give a heavenly light
So when love is an ember my heart will remember this sight
Live a lifetime of love in a moment holding me tight
Then forget me darling only
Let me love you tonight
Live a lifetime of love in a moment holding me tight
Then forget me darling only
Let me love you tonight
Let me love you tonight
Let me love you tonight

Don't know why
I'm survivin' every lonely day
When there's got to be no chance for me
My life would end
And it doesn't matter how I cry
My tears, so far, are a waste of time
If I turn away
Am I strong enough to see it through?
Go crazy is what I will do
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody, baby
If I can't have you...uh-huh, oh
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody, baby
If I can't have you...uh-hoh
Can't let go and it doesn't matter how I try
I gave it all so easily to you my love
To dreams that never will come true
Am I strong enough to see it through?
Go crazy is what I will do
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody, baby
If I can't have you ...uh-huh, oh
If I can't have you
