I Take It Back


I Take It Back
French Title: Je Retire Tout - 1968
Composer(s): Buddy Buie; James Cobb
Performer(s): Sandy Posey - 1967



Here he comes now
I've got to tell him somehow
I could put it off till later but it's best I do it now

Baby listen to me there is something I must try to say
I've put it off so long but I've decided that today is the day
My love for you is dying
Oh no, please don't start crying
I take it back
I didn't mean it
Please forget the things I said
I take it back
I'm sorry
I must have been out
Of my head

He's such a man
It must have hurt him a lot if he let me see him cry
But I must try again...this time I'll say goodbye

Baby you've been good to me you've always been the best you could
So try to understand me now the way you've always understood
I can't go on another day
Oh please, don't look at me that way
I take it back
I didn't mean it
Please forget what I just said
I take it back
I'm sorry
I must have been out
Of my head

Sometimes it's better to be loved, than it is to love

Oh, I Didn't Know (You'd Get That Way)


Oh, I Didn't Know (You'd Get That Way)
Composer(s): Joseph Meyer; Jack Yellen; Cliff Friend
Performer(s): Alice Faye



What happened to you mister
You used to treat me like a sister
But how you have blazed
And am I amazed
You started very sweetly
Now you have changed your way completely
From a meek and mild man
You’ve become a wild man

Oh, oh you rascal you
What a man you turned into
What pretty things you’ve learned to do
Oh, I didn’t know you’d get that way

I didn’t realise
That little twinkle in your eyes
Was only hotcha in disguise
Oh, I didn’t know you’d get that way

My heart is full of joy that I never knew
You great big naughty boy
How d’you do, do, do
What you do, do, do

There isn’t any doubt
You know what love is all about
And am I glad I found it out
Oh, I didn’t know you’d get that way

Oh, oh you rascal you
What a man you turned into
What pretty things you’ve learned to do
Oh, I didn’t know you’d get that way

I didn’t realise
That little twinkle in your eyes
Was only hotcha in disguise
Oh, I didn’t know you’d get that way

My heart is full of joooooooooyyyyy
You great big naughty boy
How d’you do, do, do
What you do, do, do

There isn’t any doubt
You know what love is all about
And am I glad I found it out
Oh, I didn’t know, you rascal you
Oh, I didn’t know, but now I do
Oh, you rascal you, I didn’t know you’d get that way

Eiffeltornet


Eiffeltornet
Composer(s): Kenneth Gärdestad - Ted Gärdestad Performer(s): Ted Gärdestad; Patrik Isaksson



Jag såg i tidningen
att nu finns det en chans
för mig att åka billigt utomlands
Det är tur för mig
men synd om dig aha
för om jag ser dig le
mot nån annan kis
tar jag planet till Paris
Jag bor på hotell
för en kväll
skyll dig själv

Jag tänker hoppa ner från Eiffeltornet
om du sviker mig
men jag hoppas att jag
stoppas i hissen upp av dig
Ja jag hoppar ner från Eiffeltornet
om du sviker mig
men jag hoppas att jag
stoppas i hissen upp av dig

Du vet att jag begär
en liten bagatell
jag vill ha dig för mig själv
jag försöker att
ta det kallt aha
det är väl ganska bra
att du är populär
men det ställer bara till besvär
Jag blir vilseledd
förbisedd av dig

Jag tänker hoppa ner
från Eiffeltornet
om du lämmnar mig osv

Try It Baby


Try It Baby
Composer(s): Berry Gordy
Performer(s): The Temptations



Now you're moving on up, pretty baby
You're leaving me behind
Everybody seems to love you
Ooh, you're doing just fine, fine, fine

Take away your good looks
And all your fancy clothes
I bet you want to try it baby
And you'll see
That nobody loves you but me
Now what do you think about that?

Hey, Melvin
Now you tell me that you so busy
Ooh, baby you ain't got much time
Oh, how will I remember, babe
When all your time was mine, mine, mine

Well move on back cross the track
Yeah, where you came from
Yeah, why don't you just try it baby
And you'll see
Nobody loves you but me
Yeah, nobody but me
Try it

If you think I'm lying
Try it
Try it baby

Ooh, well move on back cross the track, baby
Yeah, where you came from
Come on and try, try it honey, try it baby, try it sweet
And you'll see
Nobody loves you but me
Nobody loves you but me

Listen, I really want to hold you, pretty baby
In my arms again
But I can't get close to you
For all your love afraid
But take your name from the bad list
And tear me your arms through
Come on and try it baby
I'm gonna try it sweetheart
Try it honey
You'll see, nobody loves you but me
Nobody but me

First release by: John Michael Montgomery - 1994
Covered by multiple other artists



I see the questions in your eyes
I know what's weigh in on your mind
But you can be sure I know my part
'Cause I'll stand beside you through the years
You'll only cry those happy tears
And though I'll make mistakes
I'll never break your heart

I swear by the moon and the stars
in the sky I'll be there
I swear like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse
Till death do us part

I'll love you with every beat of my heart
I Swear

I'll give you everything I can
I'll build your dreams with these two hands
We'll hang some memories on the walls
And when, there's silver in your hair
you won't have to ask if I still care
'Cause as time turns the page
My love won't age at all

I swear by the moon and the stars
in the sky I'll be there
I swear like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse
Till death do us part

I'll love you with every beat of my heart
I Swear

I swear by the moon and the stars
in the sky I'll be there
I swear like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse
Till death do us part

I'll love you with every beat of my heart
I Swear

Try A Little Tenderness


Try A Little Tenderness
((Dutch Version: Een Beetje Tederheid (Raymond van Het Groenewoud) - 1998))
Composer(s): Harold Woods - Jimmy Campbell - Reginald Connelly
First recording/First release: Ray Noble and His Orch. - 1932/1933
Covered by multiple other artists



In the hustle of the day, we're all inclined to miss
Little things that mean so much
A word, a smile, and a kiss
When a woman loves a man, he's a hero in her eyes
And a hero he can always be if he'll just realise

She may be weary, women do get weary
Wearing the same shabby dress
And when she's weary, try a little tenderness

She may be waiting, just anticipating
Things she may never possess
While she's without them, try a little tenderness

It's not just sentimental, she has her grief and her care
But a word that's soft and gentle makes it easier to bear

You won't regret it, women don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness
And it's all so easy, try a little tenderness

I Sure Miss You
Composer(s): Tex Davis; Evelyn Bryan
First release by: Gene Vincent & The Blue Caps - 1957



You took away my lovely dreams
But I don't need those things at all
You took away the kisses that I love
You took away most everything
But I don't miss one single thing
But I, I sure miss you

I miss you every morning
I miss you every night
I miss you most of all whenever
I wanna be loved just right

You took away most everything
But I don't miss one single thing
But I, I sure miss you

Well, I miss you every morning
Well, I miss you every night
Well, I miss you most of all whenever
I wanna, I wanna be loved just right

You took away most everything
But I don't miss one single thing
But oh, I sure miss you

Eh L'Amour!


Eh L'amour!
Composer(s): Jean Ferrat Performer(s): Jean Ferrat; Zizi Jeanmaire



Eh l'amour tes gigolos ont su trouver l'filon
Qu'ils fassent la rue ou qu'ils fassent des chansons
Depuis l'temps qu'ils s'occupent de croquer tes millions
Eh l'amour t'as mauvaise mine tu sais dans tes romans
Et dans ces films où tu parais tout l'temps
Entre une voiture de sport et deux téléphones blancs
Eh l'amour si tu veux bien ce soir
Oublie donc tes trottoirs
Tes pin-ups tes dollars
Eh l'amour et reviens-moi tout nu sur tes ergots
Comme j't'ai connu quand on était jeunot
Et qu'on n'avait rien sur le dos

Eh l'amour oui te voilà t'es bien toujours pareil
T'as pas changé t'es comme cendre et soleil
Tout gris quand tu t'endors et bleu à ton réveil
Eh l'amour comme un grand frère viens t'asseoir à mes genoux
Tu sais très bien que je n's'rai pas jaloux
De tes bonheurs d'un jour de tes mômes à deux sous
Eh l'amour quand tu défais leur lit
Si tu vois l'paradis
Tu pourrais m'faire des prix
Eh l'amour avant d'courir vers d'autres rendez-vous
Mets tes dentelles et rejoue moi frou frou
Attention au voisin d'en d'ssous

Eh l'amour pardonne-nous tous nos accordéons
Pardonne-nous ces vers de mirliton
Qu'on chante à ton baptême ou pour ton oraison
Eh l'amour depuis le temps qu'tu rimes avec toujours
Si ça t'ennuie d'écouter nos discours
On pourrait tous les deux s'en aller faire un tour
Eh l'amour tu sais bien qu'avec moi
Tu feras c'que tu voudras
Qu'importe où l'on ira
Eh l'amour déploie tes ailes comme un vrai chérubin
On arriv'ra sans doute un beau matin
Au septième ciel et même un peu plus loin

Een Beetje Tederheid


Een Beetje Tederheid
((Adapted from: Try A Little Tenderness (Ray Noble and His Orch.) - 1932/1933))
Composer(s): Harold Woods - Jimmy Campbell - Reginald Connelly - Raymond van Het Groenewoud
Performer(s): Raymond van Het Groenewoud - 1998



Oh, ze mag dan triest zijn
En meisjes, ze kunnen triest zijn
Stervend van plotse eenzaamheid
Maar wanneer ze triest is
Probeer een beetje tederheid

Je weet, ze zit te wachten
Vruchteloos zit ze te smachten
Naar de diepste, diepste, diepste geborgenheid
Maar terwijl ze zit te wachten
Ga naar haar en geef een beetje tederheid

Nee, nee, nee, dit is geen domme smartlap, oh, nee
Het is pijn, niemand voelt haar aan
En één lief woordje, zacht voor haar gesproken
Dat maakt het draaglijker, draaglijker in haar bestaan

Het zal je niet berouwen, o nee
Ze zal het steeds onthouden
Liefde, dat is hun hele zaligheid
En eigenlijk, ‘t is al zo simpel
Al wat je moet doen
Dat is geven, ja geven
Een beetje, een beetje tederheid

Je moet haar helpen, strelen, verwarmen, omarmen
Ga naar haar, oh, en geef een beetje tederheid
Ja ja, ze heeft het nodig, ze heeft het nodig
Luister naar mij

Je moet haar helpen, strelen, verwarmen, omarmen
Ga naar haar, zachtjes, oh, en geef een beetje tederheid
Ah, niemand, niemand ziet haar graag!
Oh, luister

Je moet haar helpen, strelen, verwarmen, omarmen
Ga! Ga dan toch! Ga!
En geef een beetje tederheid
Oh, helpen, helpen

I Still See Elisa


I Still See Elisa
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner; Frederick Loewe
Performer(s): Clint Eastwood
and multiple other artists



I still see Elisa
She keeps on returning
As breathless, young as ever

I still see Elisa
And still feel the yearning
To hold her against me again

Her heart was made of holidays
Her smile was made of dawn
Her laughter was an April song
That echoes on and on

Since I saw Elisa
The shadows are falling
And winter is calling above
But I still see Elisa

Whenever I dream of love

Composer(s): Jerry Ross - Richard Adler - A. Lesser
Performer(s): Dalida - 1956



Eh ben!
Toi qui te croyais si forte
Toi qui semblais si sur de toi
Qu'es ce qu'il t'arrive là

Eh ben!
Voila que soudain tu t'emportes
Et tu te vois déjà dans ses bras
Lui qui n'a pas un regard pour toi
Allons oublie le
Lui et son rire dans les yeux
Lui qui s'amuse avec ton cœur
Lui et ses airs vainqueur

Tu n'y vois donc plus clair
Tu n'es donc plus sur terre
Je voudrais que tu te réveilles
Mais je vois bien que mes conseils
Dés qu'ils entrent par une oreille
S'en vont par l'autre

Tu n'y vois donc plus clair
Tu n'es donc plus sur terre
Je voudrais que tu te réveilles
Mais je vois bien que mes conseils
Dés qu'ils entrent par une oreille
S'en vont par l'autre

Try A Little Kindness


Try A Little Kindness
Composer(s): Bobby Austin - Curt Sapaugh
First release: Glen Campbell - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists



If you see your brother standing by the road
With a heavy load from the seeds he's sowed
And if you see your sister falling by the way
Just stop and stay you're going the wrong way

You got to try a little kindness
Yes show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness
Then you'll overlook the blindness
Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets

Don't walk around the down and out
Lend a helping hand instead of doubt
And the kindness that you show every day
Will help someone along their way

You got to try a little kindness
Yes show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness
Then you'll overlook the blindness
Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets

You got to try a little kindness
Yes show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness
Then you'll overlook the blindness
Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets

I Still Remember


I Still Remember
Composer(s): Gary Numan
Performer(s): Gary Numan



So you’ve gone
Singing some old love song
I’ve nothing more to lose

I’m surrounded
By old stories
With nowhere to hide

I could tear
All your pictures
I could tear everything

You told me
Time makes it easy but you
Never told me time stands still

I can’t believe it
I can’t believe how it hurts
I can’t believe it
I can’t believe how love burns away

I remember

I can’t sleep
All your words
Seem to let me down

Where are you
Why don’t you call
It’s been a long long time

I still remember
I still remember it all
I still remember
I still remember how love burned away

This could be
My last song
Everything must end some day

Egyptland


Egyptland
Performer(s): Bartley Costello - W. Casey



Drift o'ver the sun kissed desert
Stop where the old Nile flows
There's where my heart is roaming
There's where I left my rose
Pretty as Cleopatra, mild as the summer breeze
Egypt I dwell in your land
Tho' far across the seas

To pyramids and sand dunes
Wonders of puny man
Nightly with joy I wander
In a dream caravan
Seated high on my camel
Free as the very air
But I wake from dreaming
And sigh that I'm not there

Egypt land
Land of my river Nile
Life with you made living well worth while
Egypt land, keep the rose I left there faithful
And I'll be true
To you my Egypt land

Truth About Romeo


Truth About Romeo
Performer(s): David Crosby



Well, it comes down to this
She's caught on to the clues now
He's got the news
He understands
She's not all wrapped up in the palm of his hand
Juliet, she won't come down
Her head's high in the castle
Her heart's underground
It's as if, she didn't know
The truth about Romeo
The truth about Ro-o-Romeo

I Still Miss Someone


I Still Miss Someone
Composer(s): Roy Cash Jr.; Johnny Cash
First release by: Johnny Cash - 1958
Covered by multiple other artists



At my door the leaves are falling
A cold wild wind has come
Sweethearts walk by together
And I still miss someone

I go out on a party
And look for a little fun
But I find a darkened corner
because I still miss someone

Oh, no I never got over those blues eyes
I see them every where
I miss those arms that held me
When all the love was there

I wonder if she's sorry
For leaving what we'd begun
There's someone for me somewhere
And I still miss someone

Eggs And Sausage (In A Cadillac With Susan Michelson)


Eggs And Sausage (In a Cadillac With Susan Michelson)
Composer(s): Tom Waits Performer(s): Tom Waits



Nighthawks at the diner Emma's 49er There's a rendezvous of strangers Around the coffee urn tonight All the gypsy hacks and the insomniacs Now the paper's been read Now the waitress said Eggs and sausage and a side of toast Coffee and a roll, hash browns over easy Chile in a bowl with burgers and fries What kind of pie? It's a graveyard charade it's a late shift masquerade And it's 2 for a quarter, dime for a dance Woolworth rhinestone diamond earrings and a sideway's glance Now the register rings Now the waitress sings Eggs and sausage and a side of toast Coffee and a roll, hash browns over easy Chile in a bowl with burgers and fries What kind of pie? The classified section offers no direction It's a cold caffeine in a nicotine cloud Now the touch of your fingers Lingers burning in my memory I've been 86ed from your scheme Now I'm in a melodramatic nocturnal scene Now I'm a refugee from a disconcerted affair Now the lead pipe morning fall Now the waitress call Eggs and sausage, now a side of toast Coffee and a roll, hash browns over easy Chile in a bowl with burgers and fries And now what kind of pie? À la mode if you will Just come in and join the crowd Have some time to kill See I just come in to join the crowd Have some time to kill Just come in to join the crowd 'Cause I have some time to kill
