Making Love Out Of Nothing At All


Making Love Out Of Nothing At All
Composer(s): Jim Steinman
Originally performed by: Air Supply
Covered by various other artists



I know just how to whisper
And I know just how to cry
I know just where to find the answers
And I know just how to lie
I know just how to fake it
And I know just how to scheme
I know just when to face the truth
And then I know just when to dream

And I know just where to touch you
And I know just what to prove
I know when to pull you closer
And I know when to let you loose
And I know the night is fading
And I know the time's gonna fly
And I'm never gonna tell you
Everything I gotta tell you
But I know I gotta give it a try

And I know the roads to riches
And I know the ways to fame
I know all the rules
And I know how to break 'em
And I always know the name of the game

But I don't know how to leave you
And I'll never let you fall
And I don't know how you do it
Making love out of nothing at all

Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all,
Making love out of nothing at all

Everytime I see you all the rays of the sun
Are streaming through the waves in your hair
And every star in the sky is taking aim at your eyes
Like a spotlight

The beating of my heart is a drum and it's lost
And it's looking for a rhythm like you
You can take the darkness from the pit of the night
And turn into a beacon burning endlessly bright

I've gotta follow it 'cause everything I know
Well it's nothing till I give it to you

I can make the runner stumble
I can make the final block
I can make every tackle at the sound of the whistle
I can make all the stadiums rock
I can make tonight forever
Or I can make it disappear by the dawn
I can make every promise that has ever been made
I can make all your demons be gone

But I'm never gonna make it without you
Do you really want to see me crawl
And I'm never gonna make it like you do
Making love out of nothing at all

Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all

Making Love In The Rain


Making Love In The Rain
Composer(s): James Harris; Terry Lewis
Performer(s): Herb Alpert



Making love in the rain
I can't believe the joy it brings me

Making love all alone
I hear the rain on my window

It's just a little thing
but it means so much to me

Our bodies together
while the rain plays a melody

Every raindrop makes think of you
(Wishing you were close to me)

There is nothing that I'd rather do than...
Making love in the rain
I can't believe the joy it brings me

When we're done - all alone
I hear the rain on my window

When it's stormy outside
It's warm in my heart
with you in my arms

And when your away from me
I wish it would rain
'cause its always the same

Every raindrop makes think of you
(Wishing you were close to me)

There is nothing that I'd rather do than...
Making love in the rain
I can't believe the joy it brings me
(I can't believe)

When I'm here all alone
I hear the rain on my window
(On my window)

Making love in the rain
I can't believe the joy it brings me

Making love all alone
I hear the rain on my window
(On my window, I hear the raindrops fall)

Every raindrop makes think of you
(Wishing you were close to me)

There is nothing that I'd rather do than...
(Nothing that I'd rather do than)
Making love in the rain
I can't believe the joy it brings me
(Making love, oohh making love)

When we're here all alone
I hear the rain on my window
(On my window, I hear it rain)

Making love in the rain
I can't believe the joy it brings me
(ooohhhh, yeah)

All alone I hear the rain
(I hear the rain)

My love here comes the rain

My love here comes the rain

My love here comes the rain

My love here comes the rain

Si Tu Penses


Si Tu Penses
((Adapted from: Little Town Flirt (by Del Shannon) - 1962))
Composer(s): Marion McKenzie - Del Shannon - Eddy Mitchell
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell - 1963



Si tu penses (si tu penses) encore à moi (si tu penses)
Si tu te lances dans la vie sans moi
Réfléchis sur l'avenir, revis avec tes souvenirs

Si tu penses, hey, oh, oh, hey you... à moi
Si tu y penses, ne m'oublie pas

Je sais bien (je sais bien) que notre amour (je sais bien)
N'était rien, mais peut-être qu'un jour
Tu regretteras ce temps, souviens-toi, tu m'aimais tant

Si tu penses, hey, oh, oh, hey you... à moi
Si tu y penses, ne m'oublie pas

Si tu penses du mal de moi, si mes avances n'aboutissent pas
Tu ne me feras pas de peine, je peux bien vivre sans toi
Même si tu penses à moi (à moi, moi, moi)

Quand je pense (si tu penses) encore à toi (si tu penses)
Il me semble que tu reviendras
Ne crois surtout pas que je tente de te ramener vers moi

Si tu penses, hey, oh, oh, hey you... à moi
Si tu y penses, ne m'oublie pas, oh, oh, oh (si tu penses)

Making Love In The Afternoon


Making Love In The Afternoon
Performer(s): Karen Carpenter



Makin' love in the afternoon
Makin' love to another Beatle tune
And I know you're feelin' the same way too

All alone on a sunny day
On our own and we had to get away
And I know that I couldn't live without you
Don't ever leave me alone
Baby without you, I'd never make it alone

Makin' love on a sunny day
Makin' love in a very special way
And I hope you're feelin' the way I do
When you're here, when you're next to me
When you're near its the only place to be
'Cause I know that I couldn't live without you
Dont ever leave me alone
Livin'without you, I couldn't make it alone

Why wait for tomorrow?
Tomorrow may never come
Why wait for the evening shadows?
Something behind me, will always remind me
To wait for the morning
Knowing you'll be here soon
And then we can be together
In the afternoon

Makin' love (Makin'love)
Makin' love in the afternoon

Little Things Mean A Lot


Little Things Mean A Lot
((Danish Version: Småting Kan Sige Alt (by Gustav Winckler) - 1964))
Composer(s): Edith Lindeman - Carl Stutz
First release by: Kitty Kallen - 1954
Covered by multiple other artists



Blow me a kiss across the room
Say I look nice when I'm not
Touch my hair as you pass my chair
Little things mean a lot

Give me your arm as we cross the street
Call me at six on the dot
A line a day when you're far away
Little things mean a lot

Don't have to buy me diamonds or pearls
Champagne, sables or such
I never cared much for diamonds and pearls
'Cause honestly, honey, they just cost money

Give me your hand when I've lost my way
Give me your shoulder to cry on
Whether the day is bright or gray
Give me your heart to rely on

Send me the warmth of a secret smile
To show me you haven't forgot
For always and ever, now and forever
Little things mean a lot

Give me your hand when I've lost my way
Give me your shoulder to cry on
Whether the day is bright or gray
Give me your heart to rely on

Send me the warmth of a secret smile
To show me you haven't forgot
For always and ever, now and forever
Little things mean a lot

Making Love


Making Love
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach;
Bruce Roberts; Carole Bayer Sager
Originally performed by: Roberta Flack



Here close to our feelings we touch again
We love again
Remember when we thought
Our hearts would never mend
And we're all the better for each other

There's more to love I know
Than making love

Here no more confusion we see our lives
We live our lives
Remember when we thought
We never would survive
But now neither one of us is breaking

There's more to love I know
Than making love

Some things never change
Some things sometimes do
And now I'm feeling strong enough to let you in
And now neither one of us is breaking
Now we know there's more to love
Than making love
And I'll remember you and making love
And I'll remember you

Little Things (That Keep Us Together)


Little Things (That Keep Us Together)
Composer(s): Ady Semel - Scott Walker
First release by: Scott Walker - 1970



It's on days like these
When your brother falls
You can read it all in the Times
How a moving car
Stole a movie star
Little Things that keep us together
While the war's going on
It's on days like these
When your childhood cries
And you see it all on the news
Little children starve
Growing tired of born
Little things that keep us all close and warm
While the war's going on
Find a place you can hide
And take what you can
The time will arrive
When you need a friend
Stop looking at us
We're waving good-bye
There's a man
Shouting he's with me
When that morning comes
I can't wait to see
Just how high his eagle
On color screens
Is gonna fly
Going to fly
It's on nights like these
That your neighbor dies
'Cos he put a gun to his head
He was so alone
He had nothing left
Little things that call for a drink
That bury a soldier's death
It's on days like these
When your sister cries
And your brother falls from your hands
Jumbo jets can die
Killing 81
Little things that help us get by the why
Why the war's going on
Why the war's going on
Why the war is going on
why the war is going on
why the war's going on
why the war's going on

Making Every Minute Count


Making Every Minute Count
Composer(s): John Morier
Performer(s): Spanky & Our Gang; Keith



While you're hung up on yesterday
You got nothing going today
While you're hung up on tomorrow
All the good times are slipping away
Life is right now and if you take it
The share will be the biggest amount
There's only one way to make it
That's making every minute count

Making every minute count
Making it groovy
Making love, making it now
If you know a better way of goin'
You know you'd better show me how

With your nose pressed to the window
Life is just a mirror of your mind
You can find much more to get into
Make up your mind, baby, now is the time
Time to live life like a lover
Time to keep time from keepin' you down
Time to get it all together
Making every minute count

Making every minute count
Making it groovy
Making love, making it now
If you know a better way of goin'
You know you'd better show me how

Making every minute count

Time to live life like a lover
Time to keep time from keepin' you down
Time to get it all together
Making every minute count
Making every minute count
Making it groovy
Making love, making it now
Making every minute count
Making it groovy

Little Things


Little Things
Composer(s): Bobby Goldsboro
First release by: Bobby Goldsboro - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists



Little things that you do
Make me glad I'm in love with you
Little things that you say
Make me glad that I feel this way
The way you smile, the way you hold my hand
And when I'm down you always understand

You know I love those little things that I knew
The little things you whispered in my ear
I know there ain't nobody else like you
No one could do the little things you do

Little things in my ear that you say
When there's no one near
Little things that you do
Let me know that your love is true
When we walk you like to hold my hand
And when we talk you tell me I'm your man

You know I love those little things that I knew
The little things you whispered in my ear
I know there ain't nobody else like you
No one could do the little things you do

Little things that you do
Make me glad I'm in love with you
Little things that you say
Make me glad that I feel this way
When we walk you like to hold my hand
And when we talk you tell me I'm your man

You know I love those little things that I knew
The little things you whispered in my ear
I know there ain't nobody else like you
No one could do the little things you do

Making Believe


Making Believe
Composer(s): Jimmy Work
Originally performed by: Jimmy Work
Covered by various other artists



Making believe that you still love me
It's leaving me alone and so blue
I'll always dream, still I'll never own you
Making believe, is all I can do

I can't hold you close when you're not with me
Your somebody's love, you'll never be mine
Making believe, I'll spend my lifetime
Loving you, making believe

Making believe I never lost you
But my happy hours I find are so few
My plans for the future will never come true, dear
I'm making believe what else can I do

Little Sparrow


Little Sparrow
Composer(s): Dolly Parton
First release by: Dolly Parton - 2001
Covered by multiple other artists



Little sparrow, little sparrow
Precious, fragile, little thing
Little sparrow, little sparrow
Flies so high and feels no pain

All ye maidens heed my warning
Never trust the hearts of men
They will crush you like a sparrow
Leaving you to never mend

They will vow to always love you
Swear no love but yours will do
Then they'll leave you for another
Break your little heart in two

Little sparrow, little sparrow
Precious, fragile, little thing
Little sparrow, little sparrow
Flies so high and feels no pain

If I were a little sparrow
O'er these mountains I would fly
I would find him, I would find him
Look into his lying eyes

I would flutter all around him
On my little sparrow wings
I would ask him, I would ask him
Why he let me love in vain

I am not a little sparrow
I am just the broken dream
Of a cold false-hearted lover
And his evil cunning scheme

All ye maidens fair and tender
Never trust the hearts of men
They will crush you like a sparrow
Leaving you to never mend

Little sparrow, little sparrow
Oh, the sorrow never ends

Making A Noise


Making A Noise
Composer(s): Robbie Robertson
Performer(s): Robbie Robertson



Contact From The Underworld Of Red Boy

Everyone has a song
God gave us each a song
That's how we know who we are
Everyone has a song

We have come, heat the drum
The land trembles with dancing
We have come, bang the drum
The land trembles with dancing

Making a noise in this world
Making a noise in this world
You can bet your ass
I won't go quietly
Makin' a noise in this world

I don't want your promise
I don't want your whiskey
I don't want your blood on my hands
Only want what belongs to me

I think you thought I was gone
I think you thought I was dead
You won't admit that you was wrong
Ain't there some shit that should be said

Making a noise in this world
Making a noise in this world
You can bet your ass
I won't go quietly
Makin' a noise in this world

The Indian dancers stop and stare at him
Like he was bad weather
He keeps dancing
And knocks loose an eagle feather
The drums stop
This is the kind of silence that frightens white men

Making a noise in this world
Making a noise in this world
You can bet your ass
I won't go quietly
Makin' a noise in this world

(No Indians allowed)

Little Snow Girl


Little Snow Girl
Composer(s): Robert Arthur
Performer(s): Lorrie Morgan



Little snow girl, little snow girl
See the white snow, see it falling
Listen closely someone's calling
Someone's calling out to you

It's the snow man, it's the snow man
See him beckon, hear him sing out
Little snow girl come and play now
Won't you come and play with me

For he see's you with his eyes of coal
And he loves you with his heart and soul
No man ever loved no girl
Like the snow man loves his snow girl

When the spring comes it stops snowing
And the snow man must be going
Little snow girl wipe away that tear
He'll be coming back to you next year ...

Making A Fool Of Myself


Making A Fool Of Myself
Composer(s): Sims
Performer(s): Jimmy Messene



Life is so funny but what can you do
You’re either happy or blue
You ask for sunshine but you get rain
You love a someone but all in vain

I’m making a fool of myself
Loving a someone that loves someone else
I’m putting myself on the shelf
Pining for someone that loves someone else

Is it worth it, I ask
And though my lips say no
Deep in my heart, though, I know
That I shall always keep on

Baby, I’m making a fool of myself
Loving a someone that loves someone else

I’m making, making a fool of myself
Loving a someone that loves someone else

Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you kiss me once or twice
And say it's very nice and then you run
Little sister, don't you do what your big sister done

Well I dated your big sister
And I took her to the show
I went for some candy
Along came Jim Dandy
And they snuck right out the door

Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you kiss me once or twice
And say it's very nice and then you run
Little sister, don't you do what your big sister done

Everytime I see your sister
Well she's got somebody new
She's mean and she's evil
Like a little old boll weevil
Guess I'll try my love with you, ah

Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you kiss me once or twice
And say it's very nice and then you run
Little sister, don't you do what your big sister done

Well, I used to pull your pigtails
And pinch your turned up nose
But you've been a-growin'
And baby it's been showin'
From your head down to your toes

Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you kiss me once or twice
And say it's very nice and then you run
Little sister, don't you do what your big sister done

Little sister, don't you do what your big sister done
Little sister, don't you do what your big sister done

Makin' Whoopee


Makin' Whoopee
Composer(s): Gus Kahn; Walter Donaldson
Originally performed by: Eddie Cantor
Covered by various other artists



Another bride, another June
Another sunny honeymoon
Another season, another reason
For makin' whoopee

A lot of shoes, a lot of rice
The groom is nervous, he answers twice
Its really killin' that he's so willin'
To make whoopee

Picture a little love nest
Down where the roses cling
Picture the same sweet love nest
Think what a year can bring

He's washin dishes and baby clothes
He's so ambitious he even sews
But don't forget folks
Thats what you get folks, for makin' whoopee

He doesn't make much money
Five thousand dollars per
Some judge who thinks he's funny
Says, "You pay six to her"

He says, "Now judge, suppose I fail?"
The judge says, "Budge, right into jail
You'd better keep her
I think it's cheaper
Than making whoopee"

Little Pal, if Daddy Goes away
Promise you'll be good from day to day
Do as Mother says and never sin
Be the man your Daddy might have been
Your Daddy didn't have an easy start
So this is the wish that's in my heart

What I couldn't be, Little Pal
I want you to be, Little Pal
I want you to laugh and to sing and to play
And be good to Mother while Daddy's away

Each night how I'll pray, Little Pal
That you'll turn out right, Little Pal
So till we meet again
Heaven knows where or when
Pray for me now and then, Little Pal

Ever since I gave you my ring, girl
We just don't seem, seem to get along
One day we're so, so in love, girl
The next day it's all gone

I know I love you, girl, and I know you care
Why can't we stick together, girl?
'Cause it just ain't fair (just ain't fair)
No it just ain't fair (just ain't fair)
No it just ain't fair

To our hearts, girl (just ain't fair)
To keep them apart, girl (just ain't fair)
No it just ain't fair (just ain't fair)
No it just ain't fair (just ain't fair)
So let's stop makin' up and breakin' up and makin' up again
Let's live our lives while we can
(Together) while we can
(Together) while we can

One day we're so, so in love, girl
The next day it's all gone

I know I love you, girl, and I know you care
Why can't we stick together, girl?
'Cause it just ain't fair (just ain't fair)
No it just ain't fair (just ain't fair)
No it just ain't fair

If You Could Touch Her At All


If You Could Touch Her At All Composer(s): Lee Clayton Performer(s): Waylon Jennings and multiple other artists



Funny a woman can come on so wild and free Yet insist I don't watch her undress or watch her watch me And stand by the bed and shiver as if she were cold Just to lie down beside me and touch me as if I were gold One night of love don't make up for six nights alone I'd rather have one than none Lord, I'm flesh and bone Though sometimes it seems she ain't worth the trouble at all She can be worth the world if somehow you can touch her at all Right or wrong a woman can own any man She can take him inside her and hold his soul in her hand Then leave him as weary and weak as a newborn child Fighting to get his first breath and open his eyes One night of love...
