Can't Get Enough Of Your Love, Babe


Covered by multiple other artistsCan't Get Enough Of Your Love, Babe Composer(s): Barry White First release by: Barry White - 1974 Covered by multiple other artists



I’ve heard people say that
Too much of anything is not good for you, baby
But I don’t know about that
As many times as we’ve loved
We’ve shared love and made love
It doesn’t seem to me like it’s enough
There’s just not enough, baby
There’s just not enough
Oh, oh, baby
Uh-uh

My darling, I
Can’t get enough of your love, babe
Girl, I don’t know, I don’t know why
I can’t get enough of your love, babe

Oh, some things I can’t get used to
No matter how I try
It’s like the more you give, the more I want
And baby, that’s no lie, oh, no, babe

Tell me, what can I say, what am I gonna do
How should I feel when everything is you
What kind of love is this that you’re givin’ me
Is it in your kiss or just because you’re sweet

Girl, all I know
Is every time you’re here
I feel the change
Somethin’ moves
I scream your name
Look what you got me doin’

Darling, I
Can’t get enough of your love, babe
Girl, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know why
I can’t get enough of your love, babe, oh, no, babe

Girl, if I can only make you see
And make you understand
Girl, your love for me is all I need
And more than I can stand, oh, well, babe

How can I explain all the things I feel
You’ve given me so much, girl, you’re so unreal
Still I keep loving you more and more each time
Girl, what am I gonna do because you’re blowin’ my mind

I get the same old feelin’
Every time you’re here
I feel the change
Somethin’ moves
I scream your name
Look what you got me doin’

Darling, I
Can’t get enough of your love, babe
Girl, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know why
I can’t get enough of your love, babe

Oh, my darling, I
Can’t get enough of your love, babe, oh, babe
Girl, I don’t know, I don’t know why
I can’t get enough of your love, babe

Darling, I
Can’t get enough of your love, babe

Feuille Vole


Feuille Vole
Performer(s): Guy Béart



Autrefois, les feuilles ne volaient jamais
elles jalousaient les oiseaux qui passaient
Elles dirent au soleil: "Vous qui êtes si fort
donnez-nous l'audace de prendre enfin notre essor"
Une brise douce aussitôt se leva
De sa branche une imprudente s'envola
d'autres la suivirent dans les airs tourbillonnants
Les feuilles dansaient heureuses, libres maintenant
Feuille, vole, vole, danse avec le vent
dans la farandole des joyeux vivants
Va vers la lumière comme les oiseaux
loin de nos poussières plus haut
Mais le vent volage s'en alla bientôt
Les feuilles abandonnées tombaient de haut
Quand on n'est pas un oiseau, du ciel on redescend
Voici pourquoi les feuilles mortes tombent ensembl'
Cette histoire vraie n'est pas vraiment morale
tous les jours je vole vers mon idéal
et moi, j'aime cette feuille qui voudrait voler
car qui ne veut pas voler est déjà enterré
Feuille, vole vole, tombe, tombe aussi
Pauvre feuille folle, merci!

Chiribiribin pom pom pom pom
Chiribiribin pom pom pom pom
Chiribiribin pom pom pom pom

In Spanje vond ik een liedje
Ik hoorde 't langs 't strand
Het was of dit melodietje
Lag te zonnen in 't zand

't Kriebelde aan je benen
Het zat ergens op je rug
Het kroop langs je blote tenen
Langs je hand en dan weer terug

Ergens in de branding zong een meneer
Lalalalalala lalalala
En op een terrasje, daar klonk alweer
Lalalalalala lalalala

Chiribiribin pom pom pom pom
Chiribiribin pom pom pom pom
Chiribiribin pom pom pom pom
Chiribiribin pom pom pom pom

Ik lag aan de Costa Brava
Ik at lekker in Madrid
De kok zei "voor de paella
Ken je dit, dit wordt een hit"

Dit liedje is heel bijzonder
Dit liedje dat maakt je blij
Nu hoor je het in de poleder
In de stad en langs de wei

Als je 't niet gelooft zing 't dan maar na
Lalalalalala lalalala
Zelfs een pessimist zegt nog lachend "ja"
Lalalalalala lalalala

Chiribiribin pom pom pom pom
Chiribiribin pom pom pom pom
Chiribiribin pom pom pom pom

Can't Get Enough Of You


Can't Get Enough Of You
Composer(s): Eddy Grant
Performer(s): Eddy Grant



Just sit down in the back row
If you wanna play in my game
Guess you won't have to worry
'cause all films look the same
Just put your arms around me
And I'll make you sing out of tune
Won't nobody watch you
'cause we're lovers in the same room

Oh wah
a one
two
three

Put your sweet lips closer to me
This is not F One two three
And this is not back row anymore
I can't get enough of you

Can't get enough love

Can't get enough of you

I can't get enough of your love
Can't get enough of you

Sit yourself beside me now
And imagine that we're one and not two
I don't wanna shock you
But
Baby
I'm in love with you
Sit yourself beside me now
You better close your pretty eyes when I say
Oh wah
a one
two
three

Oh
just one knock on my door
Baby
And when your people ask you
At home if you enjoyed the show

Did you like Clark Gable
Say "l think so but I don't know"
Oh
say you saw a sweet guy

Oh
can't remember his name
And the way that he kissed was
Like Clark Gable the same

Oh wah
a one
two
three

Festa Do Interior


Festa Do Interior
Composer(s): Morais Moreira; Abel Silva
Performer(s): Gal Costa



Fagulhas, pontas de agulhas
Brilham estrelas de São João
Babados, xotes e xaxados
Segura as pontas meu coração
Bombas na guerra-magia
Ninguém matava, ninguém morria
Nas trincheiras da alegria
O que explodia era o amor
Nas trincheiras da alegria
O que explodia era o amor
Bis

E ardia aquela fogueira
Que me esquenta a vida inteira
Eterna noite sempre a primeira
Festa do Interior

Bis

Tatarata tata tata...

The Boston Rag


The Boston Rag
Composer(s): Walter Becker - Donald Fagen
Performer(s): Steely Dan



Any news was good news
And the feeling was bad at home
I was out of mind and you
Were on the phone
Lonnie was the kingpin
Back in nineteen sixty-five
I was singing this song
When Lonnie came alive

Bring back the Boston Rag
Tell all your buddies
That it ain't no drag
Bring back the Boston Rag

You were Lady Bayside
There was nothing that I could do
So I pointed my car down
Seventh Avenue
Lonnie swept the playroom
And he swallowed up all he found
It was forty-eight hours til
Lonnie came around

Festa Da Natureza


Festa Da Natureza
Composer(s): Gereba; Patativa do Assaré
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



Chegando o tempo do inverno
Tudo é amoroso e terno
No fundo do pai eterno
Sua bondade sem fim

Sertão amargo esturricado
Ficando transformado
No mais imenso jardim
Num lindo quadro de beleza

Do campo até na floresta
As aves lá se manifestam
Compondo a sagrada orquestra
Da natureza em festa

Tudo é paz tudo é carinho
No despertar de seus ninhos
Cantam alegres os passarinhos
O camponês vai prazenteiro

Plantar o seu feijão ligeiro
Pois é o que vinga primeiro
Nas terras do meu sertão
Depois que o poder celeste

Mandar a chuva pro nordeste
De verde a terra se veste
E corre água em borbotão

A mata com seu verdume
E as fulô com seu perfume
Se enfeita com vagalumes
Nas noites de escuridão

Nesta festa alegre e boa
Canta o sapo na lagoa
O trovão no ar reboa

Com a força desta água nova
O peixe e o sapo na desova
O camaleão que se renova
No verde-cana que cor

Grande cordão de borboletas
Amarelinhas brancas e pretas
Fazendo tanta pirueta
Com medo do bentiví

Entre a mata verdejante
Seu pajé extravagante
O gavião assartante
Que vai atrás da jurití

Nesta harmonia comum
Num alegre zum zum zum
Cantam todos os bichinhos...

The Boss


The Boss
Composer(s): Nickolas Ashford - Valerie Simpson
Performer(s): Diana Ross



Fancy me
Thought I had my degree
In life and how love
Ought to be a run

I had a one step plan to prove it
Guide in my pocket for fools
Folly and fun
Love had to show me one thing

I was so right
So right
Thought I could turn emotion
On and off
I was so sure
So sure (I was so sure)
But love taught me
Who was who was who was the boss
(Taught me who was who was the boss)

I'd defy
Anyone who claimed that I
Didn't control whatever moved in my soul
I could tempt
Touch delight
Just because you fell for me
Why should I feel uptight
Love had to show me one thing:

I was so right
So right
Thought I could turn emotion
On and off
I was so sure
So sure (I was so sure)
But love taught me
Who was who was who was the boss
(Taught me who was who was the boss)

Love taught me
Taught me
Taught me
Taught me

I was so right
So right
Thought I could turn emotion
On and off
I was so sure
So sure (I was so sure)
But love taught me
Who was who was who was the boss
(Taught me who was who was the boss)

Can't Get By Without You


Can't Get By Without You Composer(s): Michael Denne - Ken Gold Performer(s): The Real Thing



No way - no way - no way When I leave your door when we say good-night It hurts me more and more 'cause girl it just ain't right To end the day like this with no more than a kiss And spend the night just dreaming of the things we're gonna miss If I have my way girl we'd be together more and more each day We'd go on forever lovers hand in hand can't you understand Girl you've got to be my woman I've got to be your man! 'Cause I can't get by without you I need you more each day The way I feel about you leaves nothing more to say 'Cause I love you girl I need you And I can't get by without you - no way! It's a sad affair wasting precious time that you and I could share Girl it's such a crime to hear you call my name it's a crying shame When we're not together then there's only time to blame There will come a day girl I do believe It's not too far away when I can say good-night And still be by your side to dry the tears you cried And I'll have all the love I need to keep me satisfied 'Cause I can't get by without you I need you more each day I can't get by without you I need you more each day Can't get by without you - can't get by without you Can't get by without you I can't get by without you I need you more each day I can't get by without you I need you more each day

La, la, la, laia, la, la, la

La, lai, ala…

La, la, la, laia, la, la, la

Tanta gente cansada, calada sem voz
Sem rumo sem riso, sem vez
Sem passado a lembrar
Nem canção pra cantar
Mas é festa e a ordem do rei é cantar
E o canto calado sem voz
Pensamento no tempo a voar

A rua em festa e em mim
Todo mundo rodando a dançar
Eu na roda, na dança e você
Você nem viu
Mas mesmo assim fui feliz
Fui criança na dança sem você
Com certeza o que é bom é pra dar
Não prometi

I can't wait
I've been waiting so long for this night
My songs they were meant for this night
If I find you alone
Then I'll know I was right

Take this time to remember
That once we were one
I can't take this time that you've gone
Please remember that once we loved

The carnival started today
And everyone lives for the sight
The children will dance all the day
And sing all night

Yes, the carnival started today
My arms will be looking for you
And maybe you'll reach for my hand
And if you do......

La, la, la, laia, la, la, la
La, la, la, laia, lai, ala
La, la, la, laia, la, la, la
La, lai, ala…

The Border


The Border
Composer(s): Russ Ballard - Dewey Bunnell
Performer(s): America



You must be lost in a faraway land
I searched forever your footprints in the sand
I feel you need me, I have to answer
That desperate call that I do not understand

A burning bridge, a lonely highway
Another dark night thinking alone
What could've happened, am I just dreaming
It doesn't matter but there's one thing that I know

If I could make it to the border
If I could make it to the coast
If I could make it to the border
I'd be in the arms of the girl I love the most

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Make it to the border

So on and on I keep on running
To make the border before the light
Just one more river, then I can make it
Again you'll be in my arms tonight

If I could make it to the border
If I could make it to the coast
If I could make it to the border
I'd be in the arms of the girl I love the most

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Make it to the border
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Make it to the border

If I could make it to the border
If I could make it to the coast
If I could make it to the border
I'd be in the arms of the girl I love the most

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Make it to the border
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Make it to the border
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Make it to the border
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Make it to the border...

Can't Find My Way Home


Can't Find My Way Home Composer(s): Steve Winwood First release by: Blind Faith Covered by multiple other artists



Come down off your throne and leave your body alone
somebody must change
You are the reason I've been waiting so long
somebody holds the key
Well, I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home

Come down on your own and leave your body alone
somebody must change
You are the reason I've been waiting all these years
somebody holds the key
Well, I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home

Ferryboat Serenade


Ferryboat Serenade ((Italian Version: La Piccinina (by Carlo Buti)) Composer(s): Harold Adamson - Eldo DiLazzaro - Mario Panzeri Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters and multiple other artists



I have never been aboard a steamer
I am just content to be a dreamer
Even if I could afford a steamer
I will take the ferry boat every time

I love to ride the ferry
Where music is so merry
There's a man who plays the concertina
On the moonlit upper deck arena

While boys and girls are dancing
While sweethearts are romancing
Life is like a mardi-gras
Funiculi, funicula

Happy, we cling together
Happy, we sing together
Happy, with the ferry boat serenade

I am happy, very, very happy
When we're on the ferry
The music is so merry
There's a man who plays the concertina
On the moonlit upper deck arena, arena

I love to ride the ferry
Where music is so merry
There's a man who always plays the concertina, oh my
On the moonlit upper deck arena, by and by

While the boys and girls are dancing, oh dancing
While, while the sweethearts are romancing
Life is like a mardi-gras
Funiculi, funicula

Happy, we cling together
Happy, we sing together
Happy with the ferry boat serenade

I love to ride the ferry
Sailing, sailing where, where the music is so merry
There's a man who just plays the concertina
On the moonlit upper deck arena

All the while the boys and girls are dancing
Look around and you see sweethearts romancing
Life is like a mardi-gras
Funiculi, funicula

Happy, we cling together
Happy, we sing together
Happy, with the ferry boat serenade

The Book Of My Life


The Book Of My Life
Composer(s): Sting
Performer(s): Sting



Let me watch by the fire and remember my days
And it may be a trick of the firelight
But the flickering pages that trouble my sight
Is a book I'm afraid to write

It's the book of my days, it's the book of my life
And it's cut like a fruit on the blade of a knife
And it's all there to see as the section reveals
There's some sorrow in every life

If it reads like a puzzle, a wandering maze
Then I won't understand 'til the end of my days
I'm still forced to remember
Remember the words of my life

There are promises broken and promises kept
Angry words that were spoken, when I should have wept
There's a chapter of secrets, and words to confess
If I lose everything that I possess
There's a chapter on loss and a ghost who won't die
There's a chapter on love where the ink's never dry
There are sentences served in a prison I built out of lies

Though the pages are numbered
I can't see where they lead
For the end is a mystery no-one can read
In the book of my life

There's a chapter on fathers a chapter on sons
There are pages of conflicts that nobody won
And the battles you lost and your bitter defeat
There's a page where we fail to meet

There are tales of good fortune that couldn't be planned
There's a chapter on god that I don't understand
There's a promise of Heaven and Hell but I'm damned if I see

Though the pages are numbered
I can't see where they lead
For the end is a mystery no-one can read
In the book of my life

Now the daylight's returning
And if one sentence is true
All these pages are burning
And all that's left is you

Though the pages are numbered
I can't see where they lead
For the end is a mystery no-one can read
In the book of my life

Can't Fight This Feeling


Can't Fight This Feeling
Composer(s): Kevin Cronin
Originally performed by: REO Speedwagon



I can't fight this feeling any longer
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
What started out as friendship, has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show
I tell myself that I can't hold out forever
I said there is no reason for my fear
'Cause I feel so secure when we're together
You give my life direction
You make everything so clear

And even as I wander
I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever

'Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crushing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore

My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
I've been running round in circles in my mind
And it always seems that I'm following you, girl
'Cause you take me to the places that alone I'd never find

And even as I wander I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window on a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever

'Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crushing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore

Life goes on day after day
Hearts torn in every way

So ferry 'cross the Mersey
'cause this land's the place I love

People they rush everywhere
Each with their own secret care

So ferry 'cross the Mersey

We don't care what your name is boy
We'll never turn you away

So I'll continue to say
Here I always will stay

So ferry 'cross the Mersey
'cause this land's the place I love
and here I'll stay

There's a book that my mother gave me
That I read when the long day is through
And the stories of old
In leaves edged with gold

I shall find peace of mind when I look
And the wisdom of all the ages
Is there in my mother's book

Ferris Wheel


Ferris Wheel
Composer(s): Donovan
Performer(s): Donovan;
Lena Horne; Gabor Szabo



Walking in the seashore twilight
It's then you spy carnival lights
You slowly near the magic sight
Tangerine sky minus one kite
Take time an' tie your pretty hair
The gypsy driver doesn't care
If you catch your hair in the ferris wheel on top
In the ferris wheel on top
A silver bicycle you shall ride
To bathe your mind in the quiet tide
Far off as it seems your hair will mend
With a Samson's strength to begin again
Take time an' dry your pretty eyes
Watch the seagull fly far-off skies
To build its nest in the ferris wheel on top
In the ferris wheel on top
If ever I reach her
And the moral here, if any, my friend
Follow through your dream to the end
Dig the seagull fly across the sky
To build its nest in the ferris wheel
In the ferris wheel
