Who Needs You?


Who Needs You?
Composer(s): Robert Allen; Al Stillman
Performer(s): The Four Lads;
and various other artists



Who needs you
To drive me out of my mind
Who needs you
I'd like to know
Who needs you
To give me chills when I'm well
How fast can a helpless heart go

I know dear, I love you more than a lot
But oh! What I've got to go through
And so dear, I guess the answer is simply
Who needs you, I do!

(chorus)
Each time we kiss goodnight
I find that I get so excited
I can't sleep at night
I've lost my appetite

No appetite, no sleep at night ...

I know dear, I love you more than a lot
But oh! What I've got to go through
And so dear, I guess the answer is simply
Who needs you ... who needs you ... I do!!

All I Ever Wanted


All I Ever Wanted
Performer(s): Santana



Well I told you `bout your attitude
And it didn't do me any good
'Cause you took your love away
Left me here alone with all this lonely heartache

There are places I remember
Where the ladies still are tender
Against you they can't compare
Baby we've just got to get it back together

All I ever wanted was to be with you
All I ever wanted was to be with you

I just got to get it through to you
That my loving heart is ever true
Please come back to where you belong
Girl you got to know I'll never do you wrong

All I ever wanted was to be with you
All I ever wanted was to be with you
Yeah you
Oh oh

All I ever wanted was to be with you
All I ever wanted was to be with you

Well I told you `bout your attitude
And it didn't do me any good
`Cause you took your love away

All I ever wanted was to be with you
All I ever wanted was to be with you
All I ever wanted was to be with you
All I ever wanted was to be with you
You!

Who Needs Ya?


Who Needs Ya?
Composer(s): Larry Byrom; John Kay
Performer(s): Steppenwolf



Well, it's sunrise on the freeway as I get back from town
Find you standin' in my boots, kicking my dog around
Empty bottles on the floor
Enough to build a monument
Then you've got the nerve to tell me
Somebody took the rent

Who needs ya'? Think about it baby, who needs you?
Now you can save your lip, just pack your grip
And leave a trail of smoke behind you
Who needs ya'? Can you tell me baby, who needs you?
Who needs you? Think about it baby
Well, who needs you? Can you tell me please?

Last week you pulled another of your tricks
You let your brother move in here with a herd of freaks
They ate us out of house and home
Turned this place into a sty
Darlin' by tomorrow you'll be eatin' humble pie

Repeat Chorus

All I Ever Need Is You


All I Ever Need Is You
Composer(s): Jimmy Holiday - Eddie Reeves
First release by: Ray Charles - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists



Sometimes when I'm down and all alone
just like a child without a home
the love you give me keeps me hangin' on
awww honey, all I ever need is you

You're my first love you're my last
you're my future, you're my past
and loving you is all I ask
aww honey, all I ever need is you

Winters come and they go
and we watch the melting snow
but sure as summer follows spring
all the things you do
give me a reason to spend me life
around you.......

Some men follow rainbows I am told
some men search for silver, some for gold
but I have found my treasure in your soul
my honey, all I ever need is you........

Who Needs To Dream?


Who Needs To Dream?
Composer(s): Artie Butler; Jack Feldman;
Barry Manilow; Bruce Sussman
Performer(s): Barry Manilow;
Franc d'Ambrosio; Christiane Noll; Gary Wilmot



You were in my dreams
Always in my dreams
That was long before
I ever saw you standing there
When I felt afraid
Of the choice I made
I would close my eyes
And hope my dreams would comfort me
But now I'm free

Who needs to dream when there is you?
Who needs a heaven to look forward to?
For my whole life through
Who needs to dream?
You're my dream come true

In my fantasy
You believed in me
And as long as you were there
Then I believed in me
Now suddenly

Who needs to dream when there is you?
Who needs a heaven to look forward to?
For my whole life through
Who needs to dream?
You're my dream come true

Now you are my dream
You are my only dream
I'll hold you in my heart forever
Who needs to dream?
Who needs to dream?
When I see you there
Then I see my every dream come true

Who needs to dream when there is you?
Who needs a heaven?
For my whole life through
Who needs to dream?
You're my dream come true
Every dream
All come true
My dream come true!

All I Ever Need


All I Ever Need
Composer(s): Jack Sawyer
Performer(s): Helen Reddy; Johnny Mathis



To wake up next to you
See your smile across the pillow
As the sun breaks through
In the early hours when the day is new
To lie by you
That's all I ever need

And when I go away
I know there's nothing in the world
Could ever make me stay
Part of you is there with me
Throughout the day
To feel that way
That's all I ever need

Thats all I ever need
To hold you as the world beyond the skies
To realize the promise in your eyes
That's all I ever need

To come back home to you
To know you'll warm me with your love
The way you always do
In the gentle hours when the day is through
Alone with you
That's all I ever need

Thats all I ever need
To hold you as the world beyond the skies
To realize the promise in your eyes
That's all I ever need

In the gentle hours when the day is through
Alone with you
That's all I ever need
That's all I ever need

All I Ever Have To Be


All I Ever Have To Be
Composer(s): Gary Chapman
Performer(s): Amy Grant
and multiple other artists



When the weight of all my dreams
Is resting heavy on my head
And the thoughtful words of health and hope
Have all been nicely said

But I’m still hurting
Wondering if I’ll ever be
The one I think I am

I think I am

Then you gently re-remind me
That you’ve made me from the first
And the more I try to be the best
The more I get the worst

And I realize the good in me
Is only there because of who you are

Who you are...

And all I ever have to be
Is what you’ve made me
Any more or less would be a step
Out of your plan

As you daily recreate me
Help me always keep in mind
That I only have to do
What I can find

And all I ever have to be
All I have to be
All I ever have to be
Is what you’ve made me

Who Loves The Sun
Composer(s): Lou Reed

Who loves the sun?
Who cares that it makes plants grow?
Who cares what it does
since you broke my heart?

Who loves the wind?
Who cares that it makes breezes?
Who cares what it does
since you broke my heart?

Who loves the sun?
Who loves the sun?
Not everyone
Who loves the sun?

Who loves the rain?
Who cares that it makes flowers?
Who cares that it makes showers
since you broke my heart?

Who loves the sun?
Who cares that it is shining?
Who cares what it does
since you broke my heart?

Who loves the sun?
Who loves the sun?
Not everyone
Who loves the sun?

Who Knows Where The Time Goes?


Who Knows Where The Time Goes?
Composer(s): Sandy Denny
Performer(s): Fairport Convention;
and various other artists



Across the morning sky all the birds are leaving
But how can they know it's time for them to go?
Before the Winter's fire
I will still be dreaming
I have no thought of time

For who knows where the time goes?
Who know's where the time goes?

Sad deserted shore, your fickle friends are leaving
Ah and yet they know it's time for them to go

But I will still be here
I have no thought of leaving
I do not count the time

For who knows where the time goes?
Who know's where the time goes?

And I am not alone while my love is near
And I know it will be so until it's time to go

So count the storms of winter
And then the birds in spring again
I have no fear of time

For who knows how my love grows?
And who know's where the time goes?

For who knows where the time goes?
Who know's where the time goes?

All I Do Is Dream Of You


All I Do Is Dream Of You
Composer(s): Nacio Herb Brown - Arthur Freed
Performer(s): Gene Kelly



All I do is dream of you the whole night through
With the dawn I still go on and dream of you
You're every thought, you're everything
You're every song I ever sing

Summer, Winter, Autumn and Spring
And were there more than twenty four hours a day
They'd be spent in sweet content, dreaming away
When skies are grey, when skies are blue
Morning, noon and night-time too
All I do is dream of you the whole day through

Who Kissed Me Last Night?


Who Kissed Me Last Night?
Composer(s): Stephen Weiss
Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney



Who kissed me last night
If I only knew
During the masquerade
Who kissed me last night
So diff'rent, so new
Now I'm bewitched, afraid
Afraid I'm in love with a stranger who's gone
Whose kiss was such delight
Who kissed me last night
I must find the one
The one who kissed me last night

All I Could Do Was Cry


All I Could Do Was Cry
Composer(s): Billy Davis - Gwen Fuqua - Berry Gordy Jr.
Performer(s): Etta James
and multiple other artists



I heard church bells ringing
I heard a choir singing
I saw my love walk down the aisle
On her finger he placed a ring

Oh, I saw them holding hands
She was standing there with my man
I heard them promise "Till death do us part"
Each word was a pain in my heart

All I could do, all I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)
All I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)
I was losing the man that I loved
And all I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)

Yeah and now the wedding's over
Rice, rice has been thrown over their heads
For them life has just begun
But mine is at an end

All, all I could do, all I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)
All I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)
I was losing the man that I loved (cry, cry, cry)
And all I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)

Who Is He (And What Is He To You)?


Who Is He (And What Is He To You)?
Composer(s): Stan McKenney; Bill Withers
Performer(s): Bill Withers;
and various other artists



A man we passed just tried to stare me down
And when I looked at you
You looked at the ground
I don't know who he is
But I think that you do
Dadgummit
Who is he, and what is he to you?

Ahh
Something in my heart and in your eye
Tells me he's not someone just passing by
Ahh
And when you cleared your throat
Was that your cue?
Dadgummit
Who is he, and what is he to you?

Ahh now
When I add the sum of you and me
I get confused when I keep coming up with 3
You're too much for one man
But not enough for two
Dadgummit
Who is he and what is he to you?

Well
You tell me men don't have much intuition
Is that what you really thinkin girl
Or are you wishing?
Before you wreck your old home
And searcht another new
Dadgummit
Who is he, and what is he to you?
Who is he, and what is he to you?
Who is he, and what is he to you?
Who is he, and what is he to you?

All I Can Remember


All I Can Remember
Composer(s): Keith Potger
Performer(s): The Seekers; Judith Durham



Summer days and summer breezes, flowers everywhere
Are all that I remember of times we used to share
Summer nights and summer beaches, flowing into fall
That's all I can remember, all that I recall

I remember seasons when you weren't so far away
I still can hear your laughter and things you used to say
Sheltered from the world behind the ivy-covered wall
That's all I can remember, all that I recall

Somewhere above me
You smiling face, warm embrace fill my mind
I know you love me
And you're the one for whom the sun will always shine

So, my love, the more I think the more I want to say
Your love to me is sunshine and laughing summer days
Once again I realize I loved you most of all
That's all I can remember, all that I recall

Who Has The Last Laugh Now


Who Has The Last Laugh Now
Composer(s): Charles McCormick
Performer(s): Bloodstone



You may laugh (you may laugh, ha, ha)
When you see me crying (when you see me crying) (when you see me crying)
Oh, you gonna laugh, when I tell you, goodbye

I’ve tried to do all I could to make this love last
Now I’m looking for my future
Get it all in my past
Won’t you tell me
Who has the last laugh now

I really wanna know
You remember (you remember)
When you tell your friends
That your man, your righteous old man
Is gone crying again

Oh, but what will you say
If I never set foot on your door again
What will you tell your friends then
Will you tell me
Who has the last laugh now

I wanna know, I wanna know
Who has the last laugh
I wanna know

You may laugh, you may laugh, you may laugh
When you tell your friends
But, oh you gonna laugh (oh you gonna laugh)
If I never set foot on your door again

Oh, I have tried to do all I could
To make our love last
I’ve got to look upon my future
Forget all my past
Oh, I want to tell you (tell me)
Who has the laugh last now

I wanna know, I wanna know
Who has the last laugh
Oh I bet you know

When I was good to you
You used to laugh at me
Now I have to let you know
That I have to let you go

All I Can Do Is Write About It


All I Can Do Is Write About It
Composer(s): Allen Collins - Ronnie VanZant
Performer(s): Lynyrd Skynyrd; Uncle Kracker



Well this life that I've lead has took me everywhere
There ain't no place I ain't never gone
But its kind of like the saying that you heard so many times
Well there just ain't no plae like home
Did you ever see a she-gator protect her young
Or a fish in a river swimming free
Did you ever see the beauty of the hills of Carolina
Or the sweetness of the grass in Tennessee
And Lord I can't make any changes
All I can do is write 'em in a song
I can see the concrete slowly creepin'
Lord take me and mine before that comes

Do you like to see a mountain stream a-flowin'
Do you like to see a youngun with his dog
Did you ever stop to think about, well, the air your breathin'
Well you better listen to my song
And Lord I can't make any changes
All I can do is write 'em in a song
I can see the concrete slowly creepin'
Lord take me and mine before that comes

I'm not tryin' to put down no big cities
But the things they write about us is just a bore
Well you can take a boy out of ol' Dixieland
But you'll never take ol' Dixie from a boy
And Lord I can't make any changes
All I can do is write 'em in a song
I can see the concrete slowly creepin'
Lord take me and mine before that comes
'Cause I can see the concrete slowly creepin'
Lord take me and mine before that comes

Who Has Seen The Wind


Who Has Seen The Wind
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
Performer(s): Joni Mitchell



Who has seen the wind scalloping the sea
Or gliding like a swallow over villages and trees?
"I have," said the willow
"And I begged him please to stay, but he went away
He went on his own one day"
And I sing
"One love have I," and he sings
"Now it's goodbye"
And I sing "Part of me dies until I see you again"
Who has seen the sun through a parasol of leaves
Through scattered ruby cloud fires, through the silver wings of bees?
"I have," said the waters, "and I held his face to mine
But he left in time, he went in his own good time"
And I sing "One love have I," and he sings
"Now it's goodbye," and I sing
"Part of me dies until I see you again"
Who has seen the stranger in a coat of simple brown
With his face of many faces, with his eyes turned out of town?
I have and I kissed him and I begged him please to stay
But he went away, with the sun and the wind away
And I sing "One love have I," and he sings
"Now it's goodbye," and I sing
"Part of me dies until I see you again"

All I Can Do (The Carpenters)


All I Can Do
Composer(s): Richard Carpenter - John Bettis
Performer(s): The Carpenters



Yesterday I thought you'd stay
I though you'd see things my way
But now I see my hopes rainy day

I should have known when you said I was the one you wanted
wanting meant nothing more than today

All I can do is cry over you
and hope you return someday
All I can do is cry over you
since you've gone away

Ev'ry road that I follow leaves me with no tomorrow
I need someone to show me the way

All I can do is cry over you
and hope you return someday
All I can do is cry over you
since you've gone away
