I'm Happy Just To Dance With You


I'm Happy Just To Dance With You
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney
First release by: The Beatles - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists



Before this dance is through
I think I'll love you too
I'm so happy when you dance with me
I don't want to kiss or hold your hand
If it's funny, try an' understand
There is really nothing else I'd rather do
'Cos I'm happy, just to dance with you
I don't need to hug or hold you tight
I just wanna dance with you all night
In this world there's nothing I would rather do
'Cos I'm happy just to dance with you
Just to dance with you is everything I need
Before this dance is through
I think I 'll love you too
I'm so happy when you dance with me
If somebody tries to take my place
Let's pretend, we just can't see his face
In this world there's nothing I would rather do
'Cos I'm happy just to dance with you
Just to dance with you everything I need
Before this dance through
I think I'll love you too
I'm so happy when you dance with me
If somebody tries to take my place
Let's pretend, we just can't see his face
In this world there's nothing I would rather do
I've discovered, I'm in love with you
Oh, oh 'cos I 'm happy just yo dance with you
Oh, oh...

Every Woman In The World


Every Woman In The World
Composer(s): Dominic Bugatti; Frank Musker
Performer(s): Air Supply



Every night seems dinner and wine
Saturday days
I was never in love, never had the time
In my hustle and hurried world
Laughing my self to sleep, waking up lonely
I needed someone to hold me, oh

It's such a crazy home town
It can drag you down
Till you run out of dreams
So you party all night to the music and lights
But you don't what happiness means
I was dancing in the dark with strangers
No love around me
When suddenly you found me, oh

Girl, you're every woman in the world to me
You're my fantasy, you're my reality
Girl, you're every woman in the world to me
You're everything I need,
You're everything to me
Oh girl

Everything good, everything fine
That's what you are
So put your hand in mine and together we'll climb
As high as the highest star
I'm living the life time in every minute
That we're together
And I'm staying right here forever, oh

I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair


I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair Composer(s): Richard Rogers; Oscar Hammerstein II First performance by: Mary Martin - 1949 Covered by multiple other artists



I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair
I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair
I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair
And send him on his way

I'm gonna wave that man right outa my arms
I'm gonna wave that man right outa my arms
I'm gonna wave that man right outa my arms
And send him on his way

Don't try to patch it up
Tear it up, tear it up!
Wash him out, dry him out
Push him out, fly him out
Cancel him and let him go!
Yeah, sister!

I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair
I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair
I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair
And send him on his way

If a man don't understand you
If you fly on separate beams
Waste no time, make a change
Ride that man right off your range
Rub him out of the roll call
And drum him out of your dreams

If you laugh at different comics
If you root for different teams
Waste no time, weep no more
Show him what the door is for
Rub him out of the roll call
And drum him out of your dreams

Oh, no
Oh, no
I'm gonna rub, wash, wave, rub
The man right outa my hair
I'm gonna rub, wash, wave, rub
The man right outa my hair

Don't try to patch it up
Tear it up, tear it up!
Wash him out, dry him out
Push him out, fly him out
Cancel him and let him go!
Yeah, sister!

I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair
I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair
I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair
And send him on his way
And send him on his way
I'm gonna send him, send him on his way

Every Which Way But Loose


Every Which Way But Loose
Composer(s): Steve Dorff; M. Brown; Tommy Garrett
Performer(s): Eddie Rabbitt



I've always been the kind of man who doesn't believe in strings
Long term obligations are just unnecessary things
But girl you've got me thinkin', while I'm drinking one more beer
If I'm headed for a heartache, then why the hell am I still here

I'm testin' my resistance and its wearin' mighty thin
I got the feelin' I should leave before the roof caves in
My mind tells me to move along but my body begs me stay
And now I feel the need to hold you close and love the night away

Chorus:

While you're turnin' me
Every which way but loose
You turn me every which way but loose
Inside the fire's burnin' me
In mind you just keep turnin' me
Every which way but loose
Baby there's no excuse
To turn me every which way but loose

When the sun comes up in the mornin' it should find me someplace new
But right this minute all I want is to lay here next to you
Those memories still keep callin' me from somewhere in my past
Better hurry if they want me cause I can feel me fading fast

(Chorus)

Things down at my house just ain't going right I'm gonna tie one on tonight

I'm going out and live it up chase every girl in sight I'm gonna tie one on tonight

My baby she's out on the town and I think just for spite I'm gonna tie one on tonight
She thinks she's gonna worry me but I'll show her all right

Then I get home and find her there crying over me
When I come in at three a.m. there'll prob'ly be a fight
But I'm gonna tie one on tonight I'm gonna tie one on tonight

Every Time You Say Goodbye


Every Time You Say Goodbye
Composer(s): John Pennell
Performer(s): Alison Krauss; Emily Singleton



Look at the sky baby
What do you see?
Looks like the tears that I cry
Fallin' down like rain on the ground
Every time you say goodbye

Take a look around now
Why don't you feel
The way that cold wind stings and bites
And your words just are like arrows through my heart
Every time you say goodbye

There's a restless feeling knocking at my door today
There's a shadow hanging 'round my garden gate
I read between the lines of words you can't disguise
Love has gone away, and put these tears in my eyes

Look at the sky baby, see how it cries?
Ain't it just like my tears
Fallin' down like rain on the ground
Every time you say goodbye

There's a restless feeling knocking at my door today
There's a shadow hanging 'round my garden gate
I read between the lines of words you can't disguise
Love has gone away, and put these tears in my eyes

There's a restless feeling knocking at my door today
There's a shadow hanging 'round my garden gate
I read between the lines of words you can't disguise
Love has gone away, and put these tears in my eyes

I'm Gonna Take You There


I'm Gonna Take You There
Composer(s): Graham Gouldman
Performer(s): Dave Berry



There is a place where we can go
And no one cares just what you know
Or what you wear
I'm gonna take you there

You can go there too
You can go there
You can go there
To the part of town where everybody gaters round
You know that everybody there
They don't even have a care

There is a place where we can go
And no one cares just what you know
Or what you wear
I'm gonna take you there

You can go there too
You can go there
Where the lights are oh so low
And no one cares
Just what you know
Or who you are
I'm gonna take you there

Where the lights won't shine too brightly
Everybody gathers round
You know that everybody there
They don't even have a care

There is a place where we can go
And no one cares just what you know
Or what you wear
I'm gonna take you there

Every Time I Roll The Dice


Every Time I Roll The Dice
Composer(s): Max D. Barnes; Troy Seals
Performer(s): Gary "U.S." Bonds; Coastline Band;
Chris LeDoux; Delbert McClinton; Sammy O'Banion



She's got a roof that don't leak
When the rain's pouring down
She's got a place I can sleep, ya’ll
Where I'm save and sound

She's got a lock on her door
But she gave me a key
She don't walk the floor
But she worries about me

Her love has no strings, shackles or chains
But I'm holding on for dear life
She's like a rolling seven
Every time I roll the dice

She's got a big oldsmobile
She's got a dog that don't bite
She's got a heart I can steal
Just like a thief in the night

She's got a slow burning fire
She keeps her radio low
And when she gets inspired
Lord, we let the good times roll

Her love has no strings, shackles or chains
But I'm holding on for dear life
She's like a rolling seven
Every time I roll the dice

Her love has no strings, shackles or chains
But I'm holding on for dear life
She's like a rolling seven
Every time I roll the dice

Every time I roll
Every time I roll
Every time I roll
Every time I roll the dice

Every time I roll
Every time I roll
Every time I roll
Every time I roll the dice

Every time I roll
Every time I roll
Every time I roll
Every time I roll the dice

Every time I roll
(every time I roll)
Every time I roll
(every time I roll)
Every time I roll
Every time I roll the dice

I'm Gonna Sleep With One Eye Open


I'm Gonna Sleep With One Eye Open
(French Version: Et Baîller Et Dormir) Composer(s): Mitchell Parish; Jeff Davis; Charles Aznavour Performer(s): Charles Aznavour




I'm gonna sleep with one eye open
So I can see you in my dreams
Gonna hold you, kiss you, love you
While Mr. Moonlight softly beams

I'm gonna sleep with one eye open
So I can see more of your charms
'Cause tonight I've made my mind up
You're gonna wind up in my arms

You know, since I first met you
How I've tried to get you
Still I always let you sleep away
From day to day

But tonight I'm gonna love you
This is my lucky night it seems
I'm gonna sleep with one eye open
So I can see you in my dreams

Et rêver, et sourire
Et baîller, et dormir

You know, since I first met you
How I've tried to get you
Still I always let you sleep away
From day to day

But tonight, tonight I'm gonna love you
This is my lucky night, it seems
I'm gonna sleep, sleep with one night open
So I can see you in my dreams

Je fais mon paradis sur la terre
Car la paix règne au fond de mon coeur
Et vraiment si c'était à refaire
Je saurais pour garder mon bonheur

Et rêver, et sourire
Et baîller, et dormir

Every Time I Look At You


Every Time I Look At You
Composer(s): Bob Ezrin; Paul Stanley
Performer(s): Kiss



Tryin' to say I'm sorry, didn't mean to break your heart
And find you waitin' up by the light of day
There's a lot I want to tell you, but I don't know where to start
And I don't know what I'd do if you walked away
Ooh, baby I tried to make it, I just got lost along the way
But every time I look at you,
no matter what I'm goin' thru, it's easy to see
And every time I hold you, the things I never told you
seem to come easily
'Cause you're everything to me
I never really wanted to let you get inside my heart
I wanted to believe this would soon be ending
I thought it wouldn't matter, if it all just came apart
But now I realize I was just pretending
Ooh, baby, I know I hurt you, but you can still believe in me
But every time I look at you, no matter what I'm goin' thru
it's easy to see
And every time I hold you, the things I never told you
seem to come easily
'Cause you're everything to me
It's gonna take a little time to show you
just what you mean to me, oh yeah
It seems the more I get to know you, the more I need to make you see
You're everything I need, yeah
Oho, I need ya, I need ya, I need ya...
Ooh, baby, baby, baby, I know I hurt you
but you can still believe in me
But every time I look at you, no matter what I'm goin' thru
it's easy to see
And every time I hold you, the things I never told you
seem to come easily
'Cause you're everything to me
You're everything to me, you're everything to me

First release by: Fats Waller - 1935
Covered by multiple other artists



I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
And make believe it came from you
I'm gonna write words, oh, so sweet
They're gonna knock me off my feet
A lotta kisses on the bottom, I'll be glad I've got 'em

I'm gonna smile and say "I hope you're feelin' better"
Then close "with love" the way that you do
I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter, ah-huh
I'm gonna make believe it came from you

I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter, oh, babe
And make believe it came from you
I'm gonna write words, oh, so sweet
They're gonna knock me off my feet
A lotta kisses on the bottom, I'll be glad I've got 'em

I'll smile and say "I hope you're feelin' better"
Then close "with love" the way that you do
I'm gonna sit right down, write myself a letter, oh yeah
I'm gonna make believe it came from you

5.06 Am (Every Stranger's Eyes)


5.06 Am (Every Stranger's Eyes)
Composer(s): Roger Waters
Performer(s): Roger Waters



[Waitress:] You wanna cup of coffee?
[Customers:] Heh, Turn that fucking juke box down
You want to turn down that juke box....loud in here
[Waitress:] I'm sorry, would you like a cup of coffee?
Ok, you take cream and sugar?
Sure
In truck stops and hamburger joints
In Cadillac limousines
In the company of has-beens
And bent-backs
And sleeping forms on pavement steps
In libraries and railway stations
In books and banks
In the pages of history
In suicidal cavalry attacks
I recognise...
Myself in every stranger's eyes
And in wheelchairs by monuments
Under tube trains and commuter accidents
In council care and county courts
At Easter fairs and sea-side resorts
In drawing rooms and city morgues
In award winning photographs
Of life rafts on the China seas
In transit camps, under arc lamps
On unloading ramps
In faces blurred by rubber stamps
I recognise...
Myself in every stranger's eyes
And now, from where I stand
Upon this hill
I plundered from the pool
I look around
I search the skies
I shade my eyes
So nearly blind
And I see signs of half remembered days
I hear bells that chime in strange familiar ways
I recognise...
The hope you kindle in your eyes
It's oh so easy now
As we lie here in the dark
Nothing interferes, it's obvious
How to beat the tears
That threaten to snuff out
The spark of our love

Cause to end this merry chase
I'm gonna put you in your place
And your place is here
In my arms, sweetheart!

Every Song Is You


Every Song Is You
Composer(s): Steve Dudas; Grakal; Mark Hudson
Performer(s): Timothy B. Schmit



Everybody's got a broken heart
Played the fool and done their part
But fools rush in, baby, so why did we?

Another day, a long lonely night
Instead of loving we'd always fight
There's a hundred reasons why to set me free

Ever since the day I left you
I've had this feeling of emptiness
And it won't go away

So I go on down the road
One more little town that I don't know
I'm running late and I'm running low
On cold coffee and the radio
That plays me like you do
Every song is you

Separation is a funny thing
You want to fly but it breaks your wings
It left me on the outside looking in

I do believe we're worth fighting for
'Cuz all is fair in love and war
I promise not to hurt you like I hurt me

I swear to God I'll make things right
I'm heading out, gonna drive all night
Now I'm coming home

So I go on down the road
One more little town that I don't know
I'm running late and I'm running low
On cold coffee and the radio
That plays me like you do
Every song is you

I am falling through the cracks
That time slipped on and broke its back
Everyone begins to laugh, but I'm laughing with them too
'Cuz they play me like you do

Ever since the day I left you
I've had this feeling of emptiness
Now I just wanna get home
So I go on down the road
One more little town that I don't know
I'm running late and I'm running low
On cold coffee and the radio
That plays me like you do
Every song is you

Every Road Leads Me Back To You


Every Road Leads Me Back To You
Composer(s): George Mac Farlane;
William Dunham; T. Leonard Coleman



There's a road that leads to happiness
there's a road that leads to pain
I've traveled each and every one, alone and back again
thru every dell and every dale and by way that we knew in rain or shine the endless time, all lead me back to you

There's the road that leads to after years, there's the road that
leads to home the one that runs thru loneliness, which many of
us roam but hand in hand together, dear in stormy day or fair
to the golden sunset of our lives, on the road that leads us there

Every road seems to lead the way to the island of yesterday and
down lovers lane we wandered again while the birds sing their
same sweet lay and again it is you I woo Every flower remembers
you too At the crossroads of time I'll still wish you were mine
every road leas me back to you

I'm Gonna Make You My Wife


I'm Gonna Make You My Wife
Composer(s): William Bell; Wayne Bell
Performer(s): The Whispers



I'm gonna make you my wife
'Cause you're my everything
All my hopes and dreams come true
I can live my life with you

I'm gonna buy you some rings
And everywhere you go
Everyone will know that it's real
What you make me feel

Until there is no more of me
I will try to make you see
That I will be
My all and all
From here to eternity
Be my world eternally
We'll have a child
And watch it grow

Cross my heart and hope to die
If i ever make you cry
May I feel the pain that you feel inside
Take the blame if our love should die

I'm gonna make you my world
You be my morning light
The star at night
Or the air I breathe

Cross my heart and hope to die
If I ever make you cry
May I feel the pain
That you feel inside
And may I take the pain
If our love should die

I'm gonna make you my song
You'll be my symphony
My rhapsody my line
You'll be my melody
My harmony my child

You'll be the air I breathe
The birds and bees
My wife

Every Night (Without You)
Composer(s): Paul Anka
Performer(s): Paul Anka



Every night I keep praying that you love me
Every night I keep praying that you do-oo
'cause I know that my life would be worthless
Without you, (without you) without you (without you), without you

Every night it's the question that you don't or do
So my love, let me know you really love, yes, you love me

Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Without you
