You Need Love Like I Do (Don't You?)


You Need Love Like I Do (Don't You?)
Composer(s): Barrett Strong; Norman Whitfield
Performer(s): Gladys Knight & the Pips;
Butanes Soul Revue; The Jackson 5; Tom Jones;
Clydie King; Heather Small; The Temptations



Well, well, well, well
Seems like it was only yesterday
When my mama told me don't fall in love
With the first guy that comes your way
He was handsome and nice
But I took her advice and passed him by
Years have passed and don't look
Like love's gonna give me a second try
Boy the look on your face tells me you understand
could it be your love life's like mine
Needs a helping hand well, well
You need love like I do (don't you)

Boy I can tell by the way
You look when I'm looking at you
I know it ain't fit and proper
for a girl to talk this way
But I can't cope with this loneliness
Not one more doggone day
Everyday has been an uphill climb
Keeping my hopes a-float
Judging from your silence boy
You must be in the same boat
ain't it true now
You need love like I do (don't you)
Boy I can tell by the way you look
When I'm looking at you
Well, well, well you need love
Like I do (don't you)

Oh mijn papa, jij troost me als ik huilen ga
Jij zorgt voor mij, zo ben je nou, papa

You Need Hands


You Need Hands
Composer(s): Roy Irwin
Performer(s): Eydie Gorme; Max Bygraves;
Chad & Jeremy; The Sex Pistols



You need hands
To hold someone you care for
You need hands
To show that you're sincere
When you feel
nobody wants to know you
You need hands
to brush away your tears

When you hold a brand new baby
You need tender hands to guide them on their way
You need hands
to thank the Lord for living
and for giving us this day

Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and multiple other artists



I'm blue every Monday
Thinkin' over Sunday
That one day when I'm with you
It seems that I sigh all day Tuesday
I cry all day Wednesday
Oh my, how I long for you

And then comes Thursday
Gee, it's long, it never gets by
And Friday makes me feel
Just like I'm gonna die

But after pay day, is my fun day
I shine all day Sunday
That one day when I'm with you

And then comes Thursday
Gee, it's long, it never goes by
And Friday makes me feel
Like I'm gonna die

But after pay day, is my fun day
I shine all day Sunday
That one day when I'm with you

That one day
It's a fun day
Sunday is my day with you

You Nearly Lose Your Mind
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb

Now if you love your Momma
And you treat her right
But she keeps on fussin’ at you every day and night
Then she’s gonna trifle on ya’
They’ll do it every time
And when your Baby starts steppin’
Lord, You Nearly Lose Your Mind

What do you think Willie?

Now if your Momma’s mean
Take a tip from me
Lock her up at home Lord but hang on to that key
Because she’s gonna trifle on ya’
They’ll do it every time
And when your Baby starts to steppin’
Lord, You Nearly Lose Your Mind

Rave on brother… rave on

But if you Momma’s good
I’ll tell yah what to do
Give her lots of lovin’ Lord but watch her closely too
Because she’s gonna trifle on ya’
They’ll do it every time
And when your Baby starts steppin’
Lord, You Nearly Lose Your Mind

Ah pick them blues out Jimmie

(instrumental)

Now you come home to your Momma
Find your clothes ain’t clean
You can bet you’re slippin’ if you get just what I mean
Because she’s been triflin’ on ya’
They’ll do it every time
And when your Baby starts steppin’
Lord, You Nearly Lose Your Mind

Now Waylon son it’s all yours…

Now you may have a Momma
Who says that she is true
But wait till you get down and out and really need her to
Then she’s gonna trifle on ya’
They’ll do it every time
And when your Baby starts a steppin’
Lord, You Nearly Lose Your Mind

Tell the truth son… tell the truth

Now I’ve been a lot of places
There’s not much I ain’t done
But when it comes to women Lord I just don’t trust a one
Because they triflin' on ya’
They’ll do it every time
And when your Baby starts to steppin’
Lord, You Nearly Lose Your Mind

It nearly drives you crazy

If You Ever Change Your Mind


If You Ever Change Your Mind
Composer(s): Bob Gundry - Parker Mcgee
Performer(s): Crystal Gayle



Sure I understand
Of course, I'll be fine
You had to change your plans
Oh well, I'l just change mine
But if it turns out bad
And if your nights get long
And if she makes you sad
No need, to be strong

And if you ever change your mind
And find you miss those feelings that you left behind
We can give it one more try
Some magic place in time
If you ever change your mind

I guess I'd better go
You know I hate goodbyes
Let's not drag this out babe
I'll see ya 'round sometime

And if you ever change your mind
And find you miss those feelings that you left behind
We can give it one more try
Some magic place in time
If you ever change your mind

Go, don't look back
Let the heartach pass

And if you ever change your mind
And find you miss those feelings that you left behind
We can give it one more try
Some magic place in time
If you ever change your mind

You Must Have Been A Beautiful Baby


You Must Have Been A Beautiful Baby
Composer(s): Harry Warren; Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): Bing Crosby;
and various other artists



You must have been a beautiful baby
you must have been a wonderful child ...
When you were only startin'
to go to kindergarten
I bet you drove the little boys wild!

An' when it came to winning blue ribbons
you must have shown the other kids how ...
I can see the judge's eyes as they handed you the prize
I bet you made the cutest bow!

Oh!, You must have been a beautiful baby
'cause baby look at you now ...

(instrumental)

Does your dad appreciate
that you are merely great?
Does your mother realize
you're such a treat for the eyes?

You must have been a beautiful baby
you must have been a wonderful child ...
When you were only startin'
to go to kindergarten
I bet you drove the little boys wild!

An' when it came to winning blue ribbons
you must have shown the other kids how ...
I can see the judge's eyes as they handed you the prize
I bet you made the cutest bow!

Oh!, You must have been a beautiful baby
'cause baby look at you now ... (she's a cutie!)
baby look at you now ...

The Cowboy Rides Away


The Cowboy Rides Away
Composer(s): Sonny Throckmorton - Casey Kelly
Performer(s): George Strait
and multiple other artists



I knew the stakes were high right from the start
When she dealt the cards, I dealt my heart
Now I just found a game that I can't play
And this is where the cowboy rides away

And my heart is sinking like the setting sun
Setting on the things I wish I'd done
It's time to say goodbye to yesterday
This is where the cowboy rides away

We've been in and out of love and in-between
And now we play the final showdown scene
As the credits roll a sad song starts to play
And this is where the cowboy rides away

And my heart is sinking like a setting sun
Setting on the things I wish I'd done
Oh the last goodbye's the hardest one to say
And this is where the cowboy rides away
Oh the last goodbye's the hardest one to say
This is where the cowboy rides away

You Move Me


You Move Me
Composer(s): Cassandra Wilson
Performer(s): Cassandra Wilson



Rememberin' moments, so precious and real
The thought of you, kissing me there
You know my secrets
You know the curve and the line
One touch, and I know you are mine

Rain falls down on me
I can hardly see, for the water in my eyes
Love comes down on me
I can hardly breathe, for the trembling in my thighs
You move me

Rememberin' moments, so precious and real
The thought of you, kissing me there
You know my secrets
You know the curve and the line
One touch, and I know you are mine

Rain falls down on me
I can hardly see, for the water in my eyes
Love comes down on me
I can hardly breathe, for the trembling in my thighs
You move me

Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?


Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?
Composer(s): Robert Lamm
Performer(s): Chicago Transit Authority



As I was walking down the street one day
A man came up to me and asked me what the time was that was on my watch, yeah
And I said
Does anybody really know what time it is
I don't
Does anybody really care
care
If so I can't imagine why
about time
We've all got time enough to cry
Oh no, no

And I was walking down the street one day
A pretty lady looked at me and said her diamond watch had stopped cold dead
And I said
Does anybody really know what time it is
I don't
Does anybody really care
care
If so I can't imagine why
about time
We've all got time enough to cry
Oh no, no

And I was walking down the street one day
Being pushed and shoved by people trying to beat the clock, oh, so I just don't know
I just don't know
And I said, yes I said

People runnin' everywhere
Don't know the way to go
Don't know where I am
Can't see past the next step
Don't have to think past the last mile
Have no time to look around
Just run around, run around and think why

Does anybody really know what time it is
I don't
Does anybody really care
care
If so I can't imagine why
about time
We've all got time enough to die
Oh no, no

You Might Think


You Might Think
Composer(s): Ric Ocasek
Performer(s): The Cars; AC-Rock;
Dark One Lite; Fon; The New Cars



You might think I'm crazy
To hang around with you
Maybe you think I'm lucky
To have something to do
But I think that you're wild
And inside me is some child

Chorus
You might think it's foolish
Or maybe it's untrue
You might think I'm crazy
But all I want is you

You might think it's hysterical
But I know when you're weak
You think you're in the movies
And everything's so deep
But I think that you're wild
When you flash that fragile smile

Chorus

And it's hard so hard to take
There's no escape without a scrape
You kept it going till the sun fell down
You kept it going

You might think I'm delirious
The way I run you down
But somewhere sometime
When you're curious
I'll be back around
And I think that you're wild
And so uniquely styled

Chorus

Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind


Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind
Composer(s): Sanger D. Shafer - Darlene Shafer
Performer(s): Moe Bandy
and multiple other artists



Cold Fort Worth beer just ain't no good for
jealous
I try it night after night
You're in someone else's arms in Dallas
Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind

Darling while you're busy burning bridges
Burn one for me if you get time
Good memories don't fade so easy
Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind

You left me here to be with him in Dallas
And I know it hurt you at the time
I wonder now if it makes a difference
Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind
Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind

You Mean So Much To Me


You Mean So Much To Me
Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen
Performer(s): Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes



Well, she comes to me like a childhood soul
Or an old time friend I ain't seen so long
When she sings to me, it's like a loving song
She can be so sweet, she don't do me no wrong

You mean so much to me, baby
You know you drive me crazy
You mean so much to me, baby
I want you for my girl

Well, sometimes she's like a baby playing with a toy
Then she's so much woman she makes me feel like a little boy
And when she comes to me, and she's all alone
And she cries: Oh daddy, oh Daddy make me strong!

That's when she means so much to me baby
You know you drive me crazy
You mean so much to me, baby
I want you for my girl

Sunburn


Sunburn
Composer(s): Graham Gouldman
Performer(s): 10 cc



Up in the morning and it’s down at the beach
You pick a good spot and you take your seat
But it’s your first day so you gotta beware
The sun’s beating down so you gotta take care.
It doesn’t take too long when you find out you’ve done it wrong
You’ve gone a bit further than you wanted to
Here’s what you gotta do
You’ve got to get a little, get a little every day
You get a sunburn right away
Your body’s brown as a berry but you can’t lie down
Better let yourself cool down
Sun’s beating down, there’s a pain in your head
You spread a little lotion and you slide out of bed
But the call of the sun’s got you under it’s spell
You gotta take a chance though you’re feeling like hell
It doesn’t take too long when you find out you’ve done it wrong
You’ve gone a bit further than you wanted to
Here’s what you gotta do
You’ve got to get a little, get a little every day
You get a sunburn (sunburn) right away
Your body’s brown as a berry but you can’t lie down
Better let yourself cool down
You’ve got to get a little, get a little every day
You get a sunburn (sunburn) right away
Your body’s brown as a berry but you can’t lie down
Better let yourself cool down
You’ve got to get a little, get a little every day
You get a sunburn (sunburn) right away
Your body’s brown as a berry but you can’t lie down
Better let yourself cool down
You’ve got to get a little, get a little every day
You get a sunburn (sunburn) right away
Your body’s brown as a berry but you can’t lie down
Better let yourself cool down
You’ve got to get a little, get a little every day
You get a sunburn (sunburn) right away
Your body’s brown as a berry but you can’t lie down
Better let yourself cool down

You Mean Everything To Me


You Mean Everything To Me
Composer(s): Howard Greenfield; Neil Sedaka
Performer(s): Neil Sedaka; The Wynners



You are the answer to my lonely prayer
You are an angel from above
I was so lonely till you came to me
With the wonder of your love.

I don't know how I ever lived before
You are my life, my destiny
Oh my darling, I love you so
You mean everything to me

If you should ever, ever go away
There would be lonely tears to cry
The sun above would be never shine again
There would be teardrops in the sky

So hold me close and never let me go
And say our love will always be
Oh, my darling, I love you so
You mean everything to me

So hold me close and never let me go
And say our love will always be
Oh, my darling, I love you so
You mean everything to me

Sun King


Sun King
Composer(s): Charlton Pettus - Curt Smith
Performer(s): Mayfield



The evidence is on the page
Not much to show for so much rage
It makes me smile
You lost it somehow

Solitude was your only choice
Bitterness your only voice
I saw your face
The time is talking now

Boy you looked so bad!

You make the earth revolve
You make the camera sing
No conscience can absolve
The Sun King

A small imbalanced vain recluse
You use the planets to excuse
Your costumed smile
Your childish abuse

The gloves are off there are no rules
I'm a regicidal fool
Who'd change your face
But change would just improve

Boy you looked so sad!

You make the earth revolve
You make the camera sing
No conscience can absolve
The Sun King

Here comes the rain
To test our will
Here comes the rain
To cleanse again

You make the earth revolve
You make the camera sing
No conscience can absolve
The Sun King

(repeat)

You May Be Right


You May Be Right
Composer(s): Billy Joel
Performer(s): Billy Joel



Friday night I crashed your party
Saturday I said I'm sorry
Sunday came and trashed me out again
I was only having fun
Wasn't hurting any one
And we all enjoyed the weekend for a change

I've been stranded in the combat zone
I walked through Bedford Stuy alone
Even rode my motorcycle in the rain
And you told me not to drive
But I made it home alone
So you said that only proves that I'm insane

You may be right
I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic your looking for
Turn out the light
Don't try to save me
You may be wrong for all I know
But you may be right

Remember how I found you there
Alone in your electric chair
I told you dirty jokes until you smiled
You were lonely for a man
I said take me as I am
Cause you might enjoy some madness for a while

Now think of all the years you tried to
Find someone to satisfy you
I might be as crazy as you say
If i'm crazy then it's true
That it's all because of you
And you wouldn"t want me any other way

You may be right
I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic your looking for
It's too late to fight
It's too late to change me
You may be wrong for all I know
But you may be right

You may be right
I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic your looking for
Turn out the light
Don't try to save me
You may be wrong for all I know
But you may be right
You may be wrong but you may be right
You may be wrong but you may be right

You Make My Pants Want To Get Up And Dance


You Make My Pants Want To Get Up And Dance
Composer(s): Sam Weedman
Performer(s): Dr. Hook; Dennis Locorriere



You make my pants want to get up and dance
You make my face want to grin
You make my knees want to kneel downs say please
Honey won't you kiss me again
I was a lost and lonely make
draggin' through life the best I can
Till the day I laid my eye on you
That day I decided what I had to do

You make my pants want to get up and dance
You make my face want to grin
You make my knees want to kneel downs say please
Honey won't you kiss me again

Start the music, strike up the band
I never done the boogie, but I believe I can
Never met a girl half as sweet as you
Nobody's ever moved half the moves you do

You make my pants want to get up and dance
You make my face want to grin
You make my knees want to kneel downs say please
Honey won't you kiss me again
