You Don't Seem To Miss Me


You Don't Seem To Miss Me
Composer(s): Jim Lauderdale
Performer(s): Patty Loveless;
George Jones; Los Bubbadinos



It's a long way off from where I should be going
and overtime, I hate to leave your side
but now when I return, there's something missing
When I'm gone you don't seem to miss me

Duet:
Now life's so fast and everything is changing'
and if your changing too, then I don't blame you
remember how you used to kiss me
but when I'm gone you don't seem to miss me

Chorus:
I'm going back, I wonder why, I'm running fast to get home
I just can't wait to see your face but you
don't seem to miss me

Duet:
No one can take away the things you've given
and all the good we've had alone together
There was a time when you could not resist me
Now I'm gone and you don't seem to miss me

Chorus:

I can't wait to see your face but you don't seem to miss me

You Don't Own Me


You Don't Own Me
Composer(s): John Madara; Dave White Tricker
Performer(s): Dusty Springfield;
and various other artists



You don’t own me
I’m not just one of your many toys
You don’t own me
Don’t say I can’t go with other boys

Don’t tell me what to do
Don’t tell me what to say
An’ please, when I go out with you
Don’t put me on display

You don’t own me
Don’t try to change me in anyway
You don’t own me
Don’t tie me down ’cause I’ll never stay

I don’t tell you what to say
I don’t tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That’s all I ask of you

I’m young and I love to be young
I’m free and I love to be free
To live my life the way I want
To say and do whatever I please

Sul Mondo


Sul Mondo
Composer(s): Gianluigi Fortuzzi - Leo Zeuss
Performer(s): Lucio Dalla



Madonna quanta luce là in fondo
che mi viene quasi voglia di uscire
e poi magari i miei mi stanno aspettando
è già ora di partire
via che preparo una valigia di sogni
e due tre voglie dentro una sportina
oh Madonnina chi l'avrebbe mai detto
vado a incontrare la vita
vado a incontrare la vita
oh oh oh
Ma che storia sul mondo
senti che freddo
e guarda come son sporco
ti piango qualcosa
per dirti che
c'è qualcuno sul mondo
con mille sogni
e mille lacrime addosso
c'è ancora qualcuno
come te
In braghe corte son cresciuto sul mondo
e come vedi sono qui a cantare
tutti i sogni fuori dalla valigia
son qui a riordinare
son qui a riordinare
Certo di voglie sì ne ho così tante
che ci potrei fare la collezione
e che così noi come le figurine
ce le potremo scambiare
ce le potremo scambiare
oh oh oh
Ma che storia il mondo
siam così tanti
eppure ognuno è da solo
ti canto qualcosa
per dirti che
c'è qualcuno sul mondo
con mille sogni
e mille lacrime addosso
c'è ancora qualcuno
come me
che nasce un bel giorno
con mille sogni
e mille lacrime addosso
e il mondo va avanti da se
Madonna quanta luce sul mondo
che mi viene voglia di uscire
non ti ricordi quel passaggio segreto
quello per non morire
basta che porti una valigia di sogni
due tre canzoni e una tastierina
poi chiudi gli occhi fino a cento e giochi
a nascondino la vita
Che storia il mondo
per mille sogni
e mille lacrime addosso
il mondo va avanti da se
ma che storia sul mondo
per mille sogni
e mille lacrime addosso
il mondo va avanti da se
Ma che storia sul mondo
Ma che storia sul mondo

You Don't Owe Me A Thing


You Don't Owe Me A Thing
Composer(s): Marty Robbins
Performer(s): Johnnie Ray;
The Barnshakers; Marty Robbins; The Vees



Don't, be nice to me
just because I'm your
used to be
Forget me
You don't owe me a thing

My heart
is crying now
But it will laugh
again somehow
Forget me
You don't owe me a thing

You lend your heart
You never give
I guess I should have known
These teardrops fallin'
from my eyes
are interest on a loan

Don't, be nice to me
just because I'm your
used to be
Forget me
You don't owe me a thing

Forget me
You don't owe me a thing

Now you just lend your heart
You never give
I guess I should have known
These teardrops fallin'
from my eyes
are interest on a loan

Don't, be nice to me
just because I'm your
used to be
Forget me
You don't owe me a thing

Dal cucuzzolo della montagna
con la neve alta così
nella valle noi scenderemo
con ai piedi un paio di sci-sci!

Dal cucuzzolo della montagna
sotto a un cielo tinto col blu
e con in testa un passamontagna
scenderemo sempre più giù!

Scivolando con gli sci
scivolando con gli sci
scivolando con gli sci
con una lunga lunga lunga seggiovia
sulla cima tutta bianca torneremo!

You Don't Miss Your Water


You Don't Miss Your Water
Composer(s): William Bell
and various other artists



In the beginning you really loved me
But I was blind and I could not see
But when you left me, oh, how I cried
You don't miss your water till your well runs dry

I was a playboy, I could not be true
I couldn't believe I really loved you
But when you left me, oh, how I cried
You don't miss your water till your well runs dry

In the beginning you really loved me
But I was blind and I could not see
But when you left me, oh, how I cried
You don't miss your water till your well runs dry

You Don't Mess Around With Jim


You Don't Mess Around With Jim
Composer(s): Jim Croce
Performer(s): Jim Croce;
and various other artists



Uptown's got its hustlers
The Bowry's got its bums
Forty-second street's got Big Jim Walker
He's a pool-shootin' son of a gun
Well he's big and dumb as a man can come
But he's stronger than a country hoss
And when the bad folks all get together at night
You know they all call Big Jim "boss"
(Just because ...)
(They say ...)

Chorus:
You don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask of the old Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Jim
(Ba-doo-da-doo-doo doo-doo-doo-doo doot)
Well out of South Alabama come a country boy
He said I'm lookin' for a man named Jim
I am a pool-shootin' boy, my name is Willie McCoy
But back home they call me Slim
He said I'm lookin' for the king of forty-second street
He's drivin' a drop-top Cadillac
And last week he took all my money, and it may sound funny
But I come to get my money back
(And everybody say, Jack -- don't you know that...)

(Chorus)

Well a hush fell over the pool room
When Jimmy come boppin' in off the street
And when the cuttin' was done, the only part that wasn't bloody
Was the soles of the big man's feet
He was cut in 'bout a hundred places
And he was shot in a couple more
And you better believe they sung a different kind of story
When Big Jim hit the floor
(And now they say)
You don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask of the old Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Slim

It's all because of you
I'm feeling sad and blue
You went away
Now my love is just a rainy day
I love you so
How much you'll never know
You've gone away and left me lonely

Untouchable memories
Seemed to keep haunting me
Of love so true
That once turned all my gray skies blue
But you disappeared
Now my eyes are filled with tears
I'm wishin' you were here with me
Soft with love are my thoughts of you
Now that you're gone
I don't know what to do

If only you were here
You'd wash away my tears
The sun would shine
And once again you'll be mine all mine
But in reality
Your love will never be
'Cause you took your love away from me
Hoooo-ooooh-ooooh

If only you were here
You'd wash away my tears
The sun would shine
And once again you'll be mine all mine
But in reality
Your love will never be
'Cause you took your love away from me
Hoooo-ooooh, baby
You took your love away from me

You Don't Love Me Anymore


You Don't Love Me Anymore
Composer(s): Weird Al Yankovic
Performer(s): Weird Al Yankovic



We've been together for so very long
But now things are changing, oh I wonder what's wrong?
Seems you don't want me around
The passion is gone and the flame's died down

I guess I lost a little bit of self-esteem
That time that you made it with the whole hockey team
You used to think I was nice
Now you tell all your friends that I'm the Antichrist

Oh, why did you disconnect the breaks in my car?
That kind of thing is hard to ignore
Got a funny feeling you don't love me anymore

I knew that we were having problems when
You put those piranhas in my bathtub again
You're still the light of my life
Oh darling, I'm beggin', won't you put down that knife?

You know, I even think it's kinda cute the way
You poison my coffee just a little each day
I still remember the way that you laughed
When you pushed me down that elevator shaft

Oh, if you don't mind me asking, what's this poisonous cobra
Doing in my underwear drawer?
Sometime I get to thinking you don't love me any more

You slammed my face down on the barbecue grill
Now my scars are all healing, but my heart never will
You set my house on fire
You pulled out my chest hairs with an old pair of pliers

Oh, you think that I'm ugly and you say that I'm cheap
You shaved off my eyebrows while I was asleep
You drilled a hole in my head
Then you dumped me in a drainage ditch and left me for dead

Oh, you know this really isn't like you at all
You never acted this way before
Honey, something tells me you don't love me any more, oh no no
Got a funny feeling you don't love me anymore

(approximately 10 minutes and 2 seconds of silence)

(some loud and spontaneous noises)

Suite: Judy Blue Eyes


Suite: Judy Blue Eyes
Composer(s): Stephen Stills
Performer(s): Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
and multiple other artists



It's getting to the point where I'm no fun any more
I am sorry
Sometimes it hurts so badly I must cry out loud
I am lonely
I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
You make it hard

Remember what we've said, and done
And felt about each other
Oh, babe, have mercy
Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now
I am not dreaming

I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
You make it hard

Tearing yourself away from me now, you are free
And I am crying
This does not mean I don't love you, I do, that's forever
Yes, and for always

I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
You make it hard

Something inside is telling me that I've got your secret
Are you still listening?
Fear is the lock, and laughter the key to your heart
And I love you

I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
And you make it hard
And you make it hard
And you make it hard

Friday evening
Sunday in the afternoon
What have you got to lose?
Tuesday morning
Please be gone, I'm tired of you
What have you got to lose?

Can I tell it like it is?
Help me I'm suffering
Listen to me baby
It's my heart that's suffering
Help me, I'm crying to you
It's dyin' and that's what I have to lose

I've got an answer
I'm going to fly away
What have I got to lose?
Will you come see me
Thursdays and Saturdays
What have you got to lose?

Chestnut brown canary
Ruby throated sparrow
Sing a song, don't be long
Thrill me to the marrow

Voices of the angels
Ring around the moonlight
Asking me, said she so free
How can you catch the sparrow?

Lacy lilting lady
Losing love lamenting
Change my life, make it right
Be my lady

Suite Madame Blue


Suite Madame Blue
Composer(s): Dennis DeYoung
Performer(s): Styx; Sylvain Cossette



Time after time I sit and I wait for your call
I know I'm a fool but why can I say
Whatever the price I'll pay for you, Madame Blue
Once long ago, a word from your lips and the world turned around
But somehow you've changed, you're so far away
I long for the past and dream of the days with you, Madame Blue

Suite Madame Blue, gaze in your looking glass
You're not a child anymore
Suite Madame Blue, the future is all but past
Dressed in your jewels, you made your own rules
You conquered the world and more ..............heaven's door

America....America...America..America..
America....America...America..America..
America....America...America..America..

Red white and blue, gaze in your looking glass
You're not a child anymore
Red, white, and blue, the future is all but past
So lift up your heart, make a new start
And lead us away from here

You don't know what you've got until you lose it
You gave me you-your love but I abused it
And now I'm sorry for the things I didn't say
`cause I know now I acted in a foolish way
(oh yeah) uh-huh-huh (oh yeah) oh-oh-yeah

You don't know what you've got until you lose it
You gave me you-your love but I misused it
I never knew how lonely loneliness could be
And now I need you, dear, as you once needed me
(oh yeah) uh-huh-huh (oh yeah) oh-oh-yeah

So now if you'd come to this lonely heart you own
I'd give you all my lovin' like you've never known
(bung, bung, bung, bung)

You don't know what you've got until you lose it
You gave me you-your love but I misused it
And now I'm sorry for the things I didn't say

Theme from M*A*S*H (Suicide Is Painless)


Theme from M*A*S*H (Suicide Is Painless)
Composer(s): Mike Altman - Johnny Mandel
First release by: The Mash - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists



Through early morning fog I see
Visions of the things to be
The pains that are withheld for me
I realise and I can see that

Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please

I try to find a way to make
All our little joys relate
Without that ever-present hate
But now I know that it's too late, and

Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please

The game of life is hard to play
I'm going to lose it anyway
The losing card I'll someday lay
So this is all I have to say, that

Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please

The only way to win is cheat
And lay it down before I'm beat
And to another give my seat
For that's the only painless feat

Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please

The sword of time will pierce our skins
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger; watch it grin! and

Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please

A brave man once requested me
To answer questions that are key
Is it to be or not to be
Oh I replied, oh why ask me? 'cause

Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please

And you can do the same thing if you please

You Don't Know What Love Is


You Don't Know What Love Is
Composer(s): Gene DePaul; Don Raye
Performer(s): Dinah Washington;
and various other artists



You don't know what love is
until you've learned the meaning of the Blues
Until you've loved a love you had to lose
You don't know what love is

You don't know how lips burn until you've kissed and had to pay the cost
Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost
You don't know what love is

Do you know how a lost heart fears the thought of reminiscing?
And lips that taste of tears lose their taste for kissing

You don't know how hearts ache for love that cannot live yet never dies
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
You don't know what love is
You don't know what love is

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
