I'd Do It All Over Again


I'd Do It All Over Again
Composer(s): W. Holyfield; B. McDill
Performer(s): Crystal Gayle



Was I right, was I wrong?
A little too weak, a little too strong?
Was it him, was it me?
Oh, I guess I'll never know
Well, you're up then you're down
Oh, but the world keeps turnin' around
Ain't it hard to find
Somethin' to hang on to?

But I know that my heart will mend
And I know that I'll smile again
I'll get back on my feet and then
I'll do it all over again

Some you lose, some you win
They say that's the way it's always been
First you laugh, then you cry
Oh, but I guess that's life

So you live and you learn
And never look back at the bridges you burned
And you change somehow
Oh, I'm a little bit wiser now

But I know that my heart will mend
And I know that I'll smile again
I'll get back on my feet and then
I'll do it all over again

But I know that my heart will mend
And I know that I'll smile again
I'll get back on my feet and then
I'll do it all over again

Kind Of Woman I Got


Kind Of Woman I Got
Composer(s): Danny Walls
Performer(s): Hank Williams Jr.; The Osborne Brothers



Well the very first thing I had in the morning is get up
The last thing I hear every night is don't touch
I have found out my own cooking don't taste too hot
You ain't the kind of a woman I wanted but you're the kind of a woman I got
If I had any sense at all I'd go crazy
But that would do you too much good so I'm not
Your mama and daddy both told me you was lazy
You ain't the kind of a woman I wanted but you're the kind of a woman I got
[ guitar ]
When I'm around the house well you start fussin'
If things don't turn out baby's way you start cussin'
I have put up with you and that's a heck of a lot
You ain't the kind of a woman I wanted but you're the kind of a woman I got
If I had any sense...
[ guitar ]
Yeah I have put up with you...

Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad


Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad
Performer(s): Meat Loaf



Baby we can talk all night But that ain't gettin us nowhere I told you everything I possibly can There's nothing left inside of here And maybe you can cry all night But that'll never change the way I feel The snow is really piling up outside I wish you wouldn't make me leave here I poured it on and I poured it out I tried to show you just how much I care I'm tired of words and I'm too hoarse to shout But you've been cold to me so long I'm crying icicles instead of tears And all I can do is keep on telling you I want you, I need you But-there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you Now don't be sad 'Cause two out of three ain't bad Now don't be sad 'Cause two out of three ain't bad You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach You'll never drill for oil on a city street I know you're looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks But there ain't no Coup de Ville hiding at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box I can't lie, I can't tell you something I'm not No matter how I try I'll never be able to give you something Something that I just haven't got There's only one girl I'll ever love And that was so many years ago And though I know I'll never get her out of my heart She never loved me back Ooh I know I remember how she left me on a stormy night She kissed me and got out of our bed And though I pleaded and I begged her not to walk out that door She packed her bags and turned right away And she kept on telling me She kept on telling me She kept on telling me I want you, I need you But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you Now don't be sad 'Cause two out of three ain't bad I want you, I need you But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you Now don't be sad 'Cause two out of three ain't bad Baby we can talk all night But that ain't getting us nowhere

I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)


I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)
Composer(s): Meat Loaf
Performer(s): Meat Loaf



And I would do anything for love
I'd run right into hell and back
I would do anything for love
I'll never lie to you and that's a fact

But I'll never forget the way you feel right now, oh no, no way
And I would do anything for love
Oh I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
No I won't do that

And some days it don't come easy
And some days it don't come hard
Some days it don't come at all, and these are the days that never end

And some nights you're breathing fire
And some nights you're carved in ice
Some nights you're like nothing I've ever seen before or will again

And maybe I'm crazy
Oh it's crazy and it's true
I know you can save me, no one else can save me now but you

As long as the planets are turning
As long as the stars are burning
As long as your dreams are coming true, you'd better believe it!

That I would do anything for love
And I'll be there till the final act
And I would do anything for love
And I'll take the vow and seal a pact

But I'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way, tonight

And I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
No, I won't do that!

I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of
But I just won't do that
[x2]

And some days I pray for silence
And some days I pray for soul
Some days I just pray to the god of sex and drums and rock 'n' roll!

And maybe I'm lonely
That's all I'm qualified to be
There's just one and only, one and only promise I can keep

As long as the wheels are turning
As long as the fires are burning
As long as your prayers are coming true, you'd better believe it!

That I would do anything for love
And you know it's true and that's a fact
I would do anything for love
And there'll never be no turning back

But I'll never do it better than I do it with you, so long, so long
And I would do anything for love
Oh, I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
No, no, no, I won't do.....

I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of.
But I just won't do that!
[x3]

But I'll never stop dreaming of you
Every night of my life
No way

And I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
No I won't do that

[Girl]
Will you raise me up, will you help me down?
Will you get me right out of this God forsaken town?
Will you make it all a little less cold?

[Boy]
I can do that
Oh I can do that

[Girl]
Will you cater to every fantasy I've got?
Will you hose me down with holy water, if I get too hot?
Hot!
Will you take me places I've never known?

[Boy]
Now I can do that!
Oh oh now, I can do that!

[Girl]
After awhile you'll forget everything
It was a brief interlude
And a midsummer night's fling
And you'll see that it's time to move on

[Boy]
I won't do that
I won't do that

[Girl}
I know the territory, I've been around
It'll all turn to dust and will all fall down
Sooner or later, you'll be screwing around

[Boy]
I won't do that
No, I won't do that

Anything for love
Oh, I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
No, I won't do that

Kind Woman


Kind Woman
Composer(s): Richie Furay
Performer(s): Buffalo Springfield;
Richie Furay; Last Train Home; Jim Messina;
Poco; Percy Sledge; Chris Smither



I got a good reason for loving you
It's an old fashioned sigh
I kinda get to feelin' like mmmmm you know when
I fell in love the first time
Kind woman
Won't you love me tonight
I'm seein' the look in your eyes
Kind woman
Don't leave me lonely tonight
Please say it's alright

Remember once before you're hearing
The old folks say
Love's an ageless old rhyme
But now-a-days you know the sayin' depends
So much on
The kind of woman that you find

Kind woman
Won't you love me tonight
I'm seein' the look in your eyes
Kind woman
Don't leave me lonely tonight
Won't you say it's alright

Kind woman
Won't you love me tonight
I'm seein' the look in your eyes
Kind woman Don't leave me lonely tonight
Won't you say it's alright

Two On A Tandem


Two On A Tandem
Composer(s): Jones
Performer(s): Billy Cotton & His Band



Two on a tandem every fine week end
Ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling
Ring the bell around the bend
Two on a tandem with skies of blue above
Just speeding along at random
With the one you love

Travelling along the country road
Oh what a lovely ride
There are such pretty things to see
Nature is by your side

Two on a tandem with skies of blue above
Just speeding along at random
With the one you love

Quack, Quack, Quack, “Gerout of it”
Quack, quack, Quack, Quack

Travelling along the country road
Oh what a lovely ride
There are such pretty things to see
Nature is by your side

Two on a tandem with skies of blue above
Just speeding along at random
With the one you love

I'd Die Baby


I'd Die Baby
Composer(s): Joey Molland
Performer(s): Badfinger



You give me loving like crazy
You make my daisy grow high
You treat me good, so I'm lazy
You make me feel so alive

You get me feeling I'm okay
And I've got nothing to hide
And if you're leaving for a while, babe
You know, I'd die babe, babe, I'd die

I tell you I love you
I'll tell you no lies
I tell you I need you
And I want you by my side

Used to be cold and lonely
You came along with your smile
And if you leave now, I'll cry, babe
You know, I'd die babe, babe, I'd die

I tell you I love you
I'll tell you no lies
I tell you I need you
And I want you by my side

Used to be cold and lonely
You came along with your smile
And if you leave now and cry, babe
You know, I'd die babe, babe, I'd die

Kinderen Een Kwartje


Kinderen Een Kwartje
Performer(s): Liesbeth List



Dansende paarden, de draaimolen draait
Of de tijd stil heeft gestaan
Hijgende paarden, de draaimolen gaat
Langzamer lopen
De baas van het spul schreeuwt zijn keel schor
Hij wordt ouder

Kinderen een kwartje
Stap maar in, kies maar uit
Neem die met de langste staart
Tien keer in de rondte
Opgepast, hou je vast
Onder val je van je paard
Kinderen een kwartje
Maar zijn stem komt niet ver
Door het gieren van metaal
Want de kermis is een soort fabriek
Die pret produceert

Paarden gaan leven, de draaimolen draait
Levende paarden van hout
Alles wordt plastic, de draaimolen gaat
Langzamer lopen
Ook kinderen willen steeds sneller
Harder, hoger

Kinderen hebben kwartjes opgespaard
Eens per jaar kan je scheuren op het plein
In razend snelle monsters
Trappen maar, op zijn staart
Hou je groot al ben je klein
Kijk de mensen suizen
Door de lucht, op de vlucht
Van de sleur van aller dag
Waar je in zit doet er weinig toe
Zolang het maar draait

Kinderen een kwartje
Stap maar in, kies maar uit
Neem die met de langste staart
Lekker in de rondte
Opgepast, hou je vast
Anders val je van je paard
Kinderen een kwartje
Maar zijn stem komt niet ver
Door het gieren van metaal
Op een kermis vol met ruimtevaart
Zijn paarden niets waard

Dansende paarden, de draaimolen draait
Of de tijd stil heeft gestaan
Hijgende paarden, de draaimolen draait
Totdat de tijd toe zal slaan
Dansende paarden, de draaimolen draait
Of de tijd stil heeft gestaan
Kreunende paarden, de draaimolen draait
Totdat het hout is vergaan
Nanananana nananana nananananana nanananananana nanananana

Two Of Us


Two Of Us
((Dutch Version: Jij En Ik (Mal Evans Memorial Band) - 2007)) Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney First release: The Beatles - 1970 Covered by multiple other artists



Two of us riding nowhere Spending someone's Hard earned pay Two of us Sunday driving Not arriving On our way back home We're on our way home We're on our way home We're going home Two of us sending postcards Writing letters On my wall You and me burning matches Lifting latches On our way back home We're on our way home We're on our way home We're going home. You and I have memories Longer than the road that stretches out ahead Two of us wearing raincoats Standing so low In the sun You and me chasing paper Getting nowhere On our way back home We're on our way home We're on our way home We're going home You and I have memories Longer than the road that stretches out ahead Two of us wearing raincoats Standing so low In the sun You and me chasing paper Getting nowhere On our way back home We're on our way home We're on our way home We're going home We're going home Better believe it

I'd Cry Like A Baby


I'd Cry Like A Baby
Composer(s): Simon Gallup; Howard Steiner
Performer(s): Dean Martin; Dick Stabile & His Orch.



I'd cry like a baby if you told me goodbye
I'd feel like a snowball on the 4th of July
If you ever said you were leaving for good
I'd weep like a weeping willow, honest I would
I'd cry like a baby with a busted balloon
I'd let out a wail that would be heard to the moon
Our love was so splendid don't end it so soon
Don't leave me here sighing, sobbing and a-sighing
Crying like a baby for you

I'd cry like a baby if you told me goodbye
I'd feel like a snowball on the 4th of July
If you ever said you were leaving for good
I'd weep like a weeping willow, honest I would
I'd cry like a baby with a busted balloon
I'd let out a wail that would be heard to the moon
Our love was so splendid don't end it so soon
Don't leave me here sighing, sobbing and a-sighing
Crying like a baby for you

Kindermeidslied (Nurse's Song)


Kindermeidslied (Nurse's Song)
Composer(s): Blake; Ruud Engelander; Boudewijn de Groot
Performer(s): Boudewijn de Groot



Ik hoor de kinderstemmen
Ik hoor ze op het veld
Hun lachen klinkt bij de rivier
En plotseling moet ik denken
Aan de dagen van mijn jeugd
Toen was ik nog niet hier

Kom nu naar huis mijn kinderen
Het is al veel te laat
De klok van de toren slaat elf
Je lente je daglicht
Verspil je met spelen
En je winter je nacht
Als een ander dan jezelf

Kom nu naar huis mijn kinderen
Het is al veel te laat
De klok van de toren slaat elf
Je lente je daglicht
Verspil je met spelen
En je winter je nacht
Als een ander dan jezelf

Als een ander dan jezelf

Mein lieber Freund nun sag' wie schaust denn du heut drein
dir muß was Schlimmes über'n Weg gelaufen sein
du sagst deine Frau die ist sauer auf dich
du sagst deine Frau die verstehst du heut nicht
ja gibt's denn das
daß man so blind durch's Leben rennt
nach soviel Jahre nicht mehr seine Frau noch kennt
ich geb' dir nen Tip
ich verrat' dir den Trick
wer dieses bedenkt hat bei Frauen immer Glück

Jede Frau ist nicht gleich
aber jede mag Männer mit Temprament
jede Frau hört so gern ab und zu einmal ein kleines Kompliment
jede Frau liebt Musik wie vom Himmel ein Stück
das weiß ich genau
sei gescheit
Zärtlichkeit
schöne Stunden zu zweit
das liebt jede Frau

Hast du schon einmal darüber nachgedacht
was denn deiner Frau ein wenig Freude macht
ein Kuß an der Tür und erst dann in's Büro
mal ein kleiner Anruf ich liebe dich so
und weiß du welche Blumen sie am liebsten mag
dann schenk ihr einen Straus zu eurem Hochzeitstag
mal helfen im Haushalt mal Frühstück ans Bett
geh einfach aus und sei ganz net

Jede Frau...

I'd Climb The Highest Mountain


I'd Climb The Highest Mountain
Composer(s): Lew Brown; Sidney Clare
Performer(s): Al Jolson
and multiple other artists



I'd climb the highest mountain
If I knew that when I climbed that mountain
I'd find you
I'd swim the deepest river
If I knew that when I swam that river
I'd find you

Without you dear, my life means nothing to me
No matter where you are
That's where I want to be
I'd pray to get to heaven
`Cause I know that if I got to heaven
I'd find you

Honey child, I'd climb the highest mountain
That is, if I knew, when I got to the top
That I'd find you, sittin' there
I'd even swim the deepest river
If I knew that when I swam that river
You'd be waiting on the other side

You see, without you, honey
My life don't mean nothin' to me
And no matter where you are
Honey child, that's just where I wanna be
I'd pray to get to heaven
`Cause I know that if I got to heaven
I'd find you

Kindertijd


Kindertijd
Performer(s): Boudewijn de Groot



Oh, m'n kindertijd
Kijk niet naar mij met zulke bange ogen
Je stuurde me zelf de wereld in
En ik weet ook niet hoe het komt
Dat duizend en een dingen
Zelfs nu nog steeds niet mogen

Heus ik voel mee met jouw machtsfantasieën
Je trappelende ongeduld
Maar ik ben nog nauwelijks op weg
Er moet nog veel gebeuren
En we zijn het eens
Een kinderhand is niet gauw gevuld

Oh, m'n kindertijd
Kijk niet naar mij met zulke bange ogen
We kregen de wereld nog niet klein
Omdat ik nog groeide en even vergat
Dat wat jij van mij verwachtte
Altijd zwaarder heeft gewogen

Ein Kleines Kompliment
Performer(s): Louis Neefs



Ein kleines Kompliment
Hört jede Frau so gern
Es ist für sie das Schönste
Was es gibt auf uns'rem Stern
Ein kleines Kompliment
Ist mehr als Schmuck und Nerz
Es ist der gold'ne Schlüssel
Für ihr Herz
Immer wieder möchte sie es von dir hören
Diesen kleinen Wunsch sollst du
ihr nie verwehren
Wie schön wird's für dich sein
Wenn selig sie bekennt
An unserm Glück war schuld
Ein kleines Kompilment

Nichts so labil wie der Geschmack von einer Frau
Das weiss ein Mann ganz genau
Eines aber gibt's was ihr zu jeder Zeit gefällt
Gleich wo sie auch lebt auf dieser Welt

If heartaches brought fame In love's crazy game I'd be a legend in my time If they gave gold statuettes For tears and regrets I'd be a legend in my time But they don't give awards And there's no praise or fame For a heart that's been broken Over love that's in vain If loneliness meant world acclaim Everyone would know my name I'd be a legend in my time But they don't give awards And there's no praise or fame For a heart that's been broken Over love that's in vain If loneliness meant world acclaim Then everyone would knoow my name I'd be a legend in my tiime I'd be a legend in my tiime

King
Composer(s): James Brown; Robin Campbell; Earl Falconer
Performer(s): UB40



King, where are your people now?
Chained and pacified
Tried in vain to show them how
And for that you died

You had a dream of a promised land
People of all nations walking hand in hand
But they're not ready to accept
That dream situation, yet

King, where are your people now?
Chained and pacified
Tried invain to show them how
And for that you died

Two Of A Kind

Performer(s): Sue Thompson
and multiple other artists



They say we're searching for love we'll never find
They say we're foolish kids, we're two of a kind
We know we've found our love when your lips meet mine
That's when we know they're right, we're two of a kind
No matter what they say when it's all said and done
And we are old enough, we two will be one.
And when we pass them by with your hand in mine
Then they'll just smile and say "they're two of a kind"
No matter what they say when it's all said and done
And we are old enough, we two will be one.
And when we pass them by with your hand in mine
Then they'll just smile and say "they're two of a kind"

Composer(s): Bruno Zambrini; Franco Migliacci
Performer(s): Dalida - 1965



Du gingst von mir fort - ich werde warten
Du gabst mir dein wort - ich werde warten

Weil Du fur mich wie die sonne bist
Auch wenn du heut eine andere küsst
Alles was war, war fur mich wunderschön
Ich kann die welt ohne dich nicht verstehn

Alles was kommt das ist sinnlos fur mich
Denn ich bin arm ich bin arm ohne dich
Ich will verzeihn das verspreche ich dir
Komm doch zurück bleib fur immer bei mir

Du gingst von mir fort - ich werde warten
Du gabst mir dein wort - ich werde warten

Weil erst mit dir dieses leben begann
Ich hab gesehn dal3 es herrlich sein kann
Alles was war, war für mich wunderschön
Ich kann die welt ohne dich nicht verstehn

Alles was kommt das ist sinnlos fur mich
Denn ich bin arm ich bin arm ohne dich
Ich will verzeihn das verspreche ich dir
Komm doch zurück bleib fur immer bei mir

Du gingst von mir fort - ich werde warten
Du gabst mir dein wort - ich werde warten
Denn du, du nur allein du bist mein sonnenschein

King Crack


King Crack
Composer(s): Danielle Dax; David Knight
Performer(s): Danielle Dax



You rally round
With head-of-fire
And lips just made to lie
And promises that you never keep
'Cos your heart's made of ice

Ev'rything you do
And ev'ry thing you say
Is nothing but a season in hell
Way down, where the angel cries

You wanted wealth
And you wanted fame
But, oh, the price was too high

You dally here
And you squander there
And time just passed you by

Take another hit
And push a little shit
And skim another bucket of gold
Way down, where the angel cries

(La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la)
(La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la)

Ev'rything you do
And ev'ry you say
Is nothing but a season in hell
Way down, where the angel cries

Way down, where the angel cries
