You Don't Know Me


You Don't Know Me
Composer(s): Cindy Walker; Eddy Arnold
Performer(s): Jerry Vale;
and various other artists



You give your hand to me and then you say hello
And I can hardly speak, my heart is beating so
And anyone could tell, you think you know me well
But you don't know me

No you don't know the one who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips and longs to hold you tight
To you I'm just a friend, that's all I've ever been
No, you don't know me

For I never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy I let my chance go by
The chance that you might love me too

You give your hand to me and then you say good-bye
I watch you walk away beside the lucky guy
To never, never know the one who loves you so
No, you don't know me

You Don't Know Love


You Don't Know Love
Composer(s): Rebecca Foster; Donald Lewis King
Performer(s): Janie Fricke; Richard Clayderman



You don't know the meaning of uncontrolled desire
You were always hanging just above the fire
Now and then you come close enough to just stay warm
And you think that you win 'cause you never give in
Because you've never been burned
Ah, but you're gonna learn

That you don't know love 'til it's chilled you to the bone
Turned you inside out, left you all alone
You don't know love 'til you've watched it die and then
You have to try again, you don't know love

Like a child you wander out into the storm
You defy the thunder, but the lightning keeps you warm
The innocence you show is something I'd like to know
And I'm feeling that I'm finally crossing the line
But I won't be alone
Yes, I've known all along

No, you don't know love 'til it's chilled you to the bone
Turned you inside out, left you all alone
You don't know love 'til you've watched it die and then
You have to try again, you don't know love

Sugarolly Mountains


Sugarolly Mountains
Performer(s): Jim Diamond



Here I go again
Looking back on yesterday
Oh the games we played, Oh the innocence
The sun it always seemed to shine
Autumn spring right through winter time
Oh and my family and friends of mine,
Filled me so full of confidence
And oh and run like the wind
Free at last my young heart would sing

I lived my dreams out on, the sugarolly mountains
While looking down on mo mean city, way below
So many dreams up on, the sugarolly mountains
One day I'd be a rock and roll singer
The next I'd be building boats

And turning back another page
The school yard and the football game
Oh how we laughed through the purple haze
Playing on the radio
Arithmatic geography, They all just seemed to sail by me
I just thank God for the poetry
And that ringing bell I called liberty yeah
And oh I'd run like the wind
Free at last my young heart would sing yeah

And when you world is closing in
You've got no place to hide
Just close your eyes, count to ten
Climb on up and stake your claim

You Don't Know Like I Know


You Don't Know Like I Know
Composer(s): Isaac Hayes; David Porter
Performer(s): Sam & Dave;
and various other artists



You don't know like I know
What that woman has done for me
In the morning, she's my water
In the evening, she's my cup of tea

As long as I live
Wherever trouble lies
I go to her, and like a miracle
Everything just turns out right

You don't know like I know
What that woman has done for me
She brings her lovin' home now,
Just the way it's supposed to be

What she want, she can get
Tender loving
Well she's ready
Yeah she's ready
Yeah she's ready and willing

(bridge)

As long as I live
Wherever trouble lies
I go to her, and like a miracle
Everything just gets alright

You don't know like I know
What that woman has done for me
In the morning, she's my water
In the evening, she's my cup of tea

Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows like I know

You don't know
You don't know
You don't know
Nobody knows

Sugaree


Sugaree
Composer(s): Jerry Garcia - Robert Hunter
First release by: Grateful Dead - 1976



When they come to take you down When they bring that wagon 'round
When they come to call on you and drag your poor body down

Just one thing I ask of you, just one thing for me
Please forget you know my name, my darling Sugaree
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me

You thought you was the cool fool and never could do no wrong
Had everything sewed up tight. How come you lay awake all night long

Just one thing I ask of you, just one thing for me
Please forget you know my name, my darling Sugaree
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me

Well in spite of all you gained you still had to stand out in the pouring rain
One last voice is calling you and I guess it's time you go

Just one thing I ask of you, just one thing for me
Please forget you know my name, my darling Sugaree
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me

Well shake it up now Sugaree, I'll meet you at the jubilee

Just one thing I ask of you, just one thing for me
Please forget you know my name, my darling Sugaree
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it sugaree, just don't tell them that you know me

Although I love you so
Oh you don't know
You don't know just how I feel
For my love I daren't reveal
I am so, I'm so afraid
You might not care
Every time you pass me by
Oh you don't know, you don't know
What I go through
Seeing someone else with you
Oh I wish the one with you, were me
But you don't know

I would tell you, if I believed
That you might care some day
But until then I'll never give this away
So a secret it must stay
And you don't know, you don't know
How hard to bear
Is this one way love affair
For it breaks my heart to be in love
When you don't know

I would tell you, if I believed
That you might care some day
But until then I'll never give this away
So a secret it must stay
And you don't know, you don't know
How hard to bear
Is this one way love affair
For it breaks my heart to be in love
When you don't know

You Don't Have To Walk In The Rain
Composer(s): Howard Kaylan; Al Nichol;
Jim Pons; John Seiter; Mark Volman
Performer(s): The Turtles



I looked at your face; is that the face I love?
It's been a long time since I've seen you
You've got a lovely place; the kids must send their love
We stood there lonely, baby, without you

Chorus:
And girl, you don't have to walk in the rain
'Cause baby, I know things can be just the same as before
When you walk through my door, you'll be home, girl
When you walk through my door, you'll be home

I was so afraid I almost turned away
But you know I need somebody to cling to
I looked at your face; I love you anyway
It's been a long time since I've seen you

(chorus twice, then repeat its 1st line & fade)

You Don't Have To Say You're Sorry
Composer(s): Patti Austin
Performer(s): Patti Austin; Vanessa Williams;
Freddy Cole; Cafe Soul All Stars; Chico Freeman



You don't have to say you're sorry
We all make mistakes, I've made my share, oh
You don't have to say you're sorry
I don't need those words to know you care

Explanations aren't required
Even though you think you should
I don't need to know the reasons
No, not even if they're good
You don't have to say you're sorry
But I sure do wish you would

You don't have to say you're sorry
And that's a silly game that children play, oh
You don't have to say you're sorry, no
No, you shouldn't have to live that way

You don't have to say you're sorry
Cause we're both too old it's true
Well they say when you love someone
Forgiveness is the rule
You don't have to say you're sorry
But I sure do wish you would

Explanations aren't required
Even though you think you should
I don't need to know the reasons
No, not even if they're good
You don't have to say you're sorry
But I sure do wish you would, I wish you would

Une fille aussi belle à aimer

You Don't Have To Cry


You Don't Have To Cry
Composer(s): Stephen Stills
Performer(s): Crosby, Stills & Nash



In the morning when you rise
Do you think of me and how you left me cryin'?
Are you thinkin' of telephones
And managers and where you got to be at noon?

You are living a reality
I left years ago it quite nearly killed me
In the long run it will make you cry
Make you crazy and old before your time

And the difference between me and you
I won't argue right or wrong but I have time to cry my baby
You don't have to cry
I said cry my baby you don't have to cry
I said cry my baby you don't have to cry

In the morning when you rise
Do you think of me and how you left me cryin'?

Make you crazy and old before your time

And the difference between me and you

You Don't Have To Be In The Army To Fight In The War


You Don't Have To Be In The Army To Fight In The War
Composer(s): Ray Dorset
Performer(s): Mungo Jerry



When your girlfriend asks you 'round to her house
and you meet her folks
and they say that your hair's too long
and you're not their kind of bloke
they grab you by the collar and they throw you through the door
You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war

Well, you're working very hard to get promotion in your job
but arrive late on morning just because you missed the bus
the foreman says "You're fired, because your punctuality's poor"
You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war

Then you go into a hotel to get put up for the night
and they say that you can't stay there, just because your shirt ain't white
you're tired and you hungry, and you cannot walk no more
You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war

Ain't no money, ain't no woman, ain't no roof above your head
so you lay down in the park, and you wish that you were dead
the fuzz says you are trespassing, and kicks you in the jaw
You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war

The fuzz says you are trespassing and kicks you in the jaw
You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war

You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war
You don't have to be in the army to fight in the war
You don't have to be ...........(fade out)

Sugar Town


Sugar Town
Composer(s): Lee Hazlewood
First release by: Nancy Sinatra - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



I got some troubles but they won't last
I'm gonna lay right down here in the grass
And pretty soon all my troubles will pass
'cause I'm in shoo-shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo-shoo
Shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo Sugar Town

I never had a dog that liked me some
Never had a friend or wanted one
So I just lay back and laugh at the sun
'cause I'm in shoo-shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo-shoo
Shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo Sugar Town

Yesterday it rained in Tennessee
I heard it also rained in Tallahassee
But not a drop fell on little old me
'cause I was in shoo-shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo-shoo
Shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo Sugar Town

If I had a million dollars or ten
I'd give to ya, world, and then
You'd go away and let me spend
My life in shoo-shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo-shoo
Shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo Sugar Town
la-la-la-la ...

You Don't Have To Be A Star (To Be In My Show)
Composer(s): James Dean; John Glover
Performer(s): Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis Jr.



You can come as you are with just your heart
And I'll take you in though you're rejected and hurt
To me you're worth, girl, what you have within
Oh honey, boy, I don't need no superstar 'cause I'll accept you as you are
You won't be denied cause I'm satisfied with the love that you can inspire
You don't have to be a star, baby, to be in my show
Oh, honey, you don't have to be a star, baby, to be in my show
Somebody nobody knows could steal the tune that you want to hear
So stop your running around cause now you've found what was cloudy is clear
Oh honey, there'll be no cheering from the clouds, just two hearts beating out loud
There'll be no parade, no tv or stage, only me till your dying day
You don't have to be a star, baby, to be in my show
Oh, honey, you don't have to be a star, baby, to be in my show
Don't think your star has to shine for me to find out where you're coming from
Oh honey, girl, what is a beauty queen if it don't mean that I'm number one?
I don't need no superstar cause I'll accept you as you are
You won't be denied cause I'm satisfied with the love that you can inspire
You don't have to be a star, baby, to be in my show
Oh, honey, you don't have to be a star, baby, to be in my show

Sugar The Road


Sugar The Road
Composer(s): Alvin Lee
Performer(s): Ten Years After



Having a good time, baby
You're having a ball
Your daddy don't dig what you look like
Don't dig it at all
Don't understand
What you're going through
No, no, no, no, no, no, he don't

He says there's only one way that you stay alive
Keep working for your pension till you're sixty five
Hey, No, no, don't dig it at all

You've grown up a big girl, baby
You're doing all right
You sleep in the daytime, baby now
You're leaping all night
Got your own scene
Said you're doing fine
My, my, my, doing fine, girl

Live like you want, let them call you a freak
You'll be a baby factory when you're married a week
Oh, no, no, no, can you live in a box? Get out, get out...

You're having a good time, baby
You're loving your life
There's more things ahead now, baby
Than being a wife
Well, I love your mind
'Cause you know it's free
Little darlin'

Don't worry about the people who scream and shout
Just give them fifty years and they might forget it out
Hey, yeah, I've gotta have me a good time
Darling, let it all hang out
