You Never Done It Like That


You Never Done It Like That
Composer(s): Neil Sedaka; Howard Greenfield
Performer(s): Neil Sedaka; Captain & Tennille



You're so terrific
Ooooh you never done it like that
You've never been this way before
To be specific
Ooooh you never done it like that
Who went and opened up the door?
My lips are burnin'
Yeah, you never done it like that
I thought the flame was dead and gone
But you've been learnin'
Yeah you never done it like that
How long has this been goin' on?

Ooooh, ooooh, who's been teachin' you?
Show me the man and let me shake his hand
Hey look at me, I feel just like Columbus
I did discover you're some kind of lover

My mind is blowin'
Ooooh you never done it like that
You got me climbin' up the wall
My love is growin'
Yeah, you never done it like that
You know you made me ten feet tall

Ooh what you're doin'
Ooh what you're doin'
Ooh what you're doin'
You never done it
You never done it
You never done it like that

Ooh what you're doin'
Ooh what you're doin'
Ooh what you're doin'
You never done it
You never done it
You never done it like that

Oh what a feelin'
Ooooh you never done it like that
Not since I can remember when
I'm on the ceiling
Hey you never done it like that
Looks like we got it on again

Do it again
Do it again
Do it again
Do it again

Ooh what you're doin'
Ooh what you're doin'
Ooh what you're doin'
You never done it
You never done it
You never done it like that

Ooh what you're doin'
Do it again
Ooh what you're doin'
Do it again
Ooh what you're doin'
You never done it
You never done it
You never done it like that

Ooh what you're doin'
Do it again
Ooh what you're doin'
Ooh what you're doin'
You never done it
You never done it
You never done it like that

Sunday Blues


Sunday Blues
Composer(s): Joe Lutcher
Performer(s): Julie London



I ain't gonna get those Sunday blues no more
I ain't gonna walk that lonesome, tear-stained floor
I never knew much about love 'til you walked into my heart
I wasn't happy without love - but at least I wasn't torn apart

On Saturday night you swear you're mine alone
Then Sunday arrives, and you don't even phone
I know you're gonna come knockin'
But I ain't gonna answer the door
I ain't gonna get those Sunday blues no more

I know you're gonna come knockin'
But I ain't gonna answer the door
I ain't gonna get those Sunday blues no more
No more

You Never Cry Like A Lover


You Never Cry Like A Lover
Composer(s): Don Henley; John David Souther
Performer(s): The Eagles; The 5th Dimension



You never cry like a lover should
sigh when it feels real good
or see the sky through the stone and wood
You never cry like a lover

I thought I saw somebody I loved
sleeping deep inside you
If I could catch you in an unguarded moment
I'd stay right there beside you

You never smile at me late at night
Laugh out loud when we get it right
You can't get loose if there's too much light
You never smile like a lover

TRY A LITTLE HARDER
I can't live with you, baby
TRY A LITTLE HARDER
Can't live without you
TRY A LITTLE HARDER
And sometimes I believe in love
sometimes I doubt it

But your life goes on like a broken down carousel
where somebody left the music on
I was hopin' you were the one
I was hopin' you were the one
I was hopin' you were the one
I was hopin' you were the one

You never move like you used to do
pour it out when you're feelin' blue
Somebody must have put some pain in you
you never cry like a lover
you never cry like a lover
YOU NEVER CRY LIKE A LOVER cry
YOU NEVER CRY LIKE A LOVER you never cry
CRY LIKE A LOVER come on and cry
YOU NEVER CRY LIKE A LOVER cry
CRY LIKE A LOVER cry
YOU NEVER CRY LIKE A LOVER cry cry
CRY LIKE A LOVER you never cry (fade)

Sunday Bloody Sunday


Sunday Bloody Sunday
Composer(s): Bono - The Edge - Adam Clayton - Larry Mullen
First release by: U2 - 1983
Covered by multiple other artists



I can't believe the news today
I can't close my eyes and make it go away
How long, how long must we sing this song
How long, how long

'Cause tonight
We can be as one tonight

Broken bottles under children's feet
Bodies strewn across the dead-end street
But I won't heed the battle call
It puts my back up, puts my back up against the wall

Sunday Bloody Sunday
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Sunday Bloody Sunday

And the battle's just begun
There's many lost, but tell me who has won
The trench is dug within our hearts
And mother's children, brothers, sisters torn apart

Sunday Bloody Sunday
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Sunday Bloody Sunday

How long, how long must we sing this song
How long, how long

'Cause tonight
We can be as one tonight
Tonight

Sunday Bloody Sunday
Sunday Bloody Sunday

Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
I'll wipe your tears away
Wipe your tears away

Sunday Bloody Sunday
Sunday Bloody Sunday

And it's true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink, while tomorrow they die

The real battle is begun
To claim the victory Jesus won

Sunday Bloody Sunday
Sunday Bloody Sunday

You Needed Me


You Needed Me
Composer(s): Randy Goodrum
Performer(s): Anne Murray



I cried a tear
You wiped it dry
I was confused
You cleared my mind
I sold my soul
You bought it back for me
And held me up and gave me dignity
Somehow you needed me

You gave me strength
To stand alone again
To face the world
Out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me
You needed me

And I can't believe it's you
I can't believe it's true
I needed you and you were there
And I'll never leave, why should I leave
I'd be a fool
'Cause I've finally found someone
Who really cares

You held my hand
When it was cold
When I was lost
You took me home
You gave me hope
When I was at the end
And turned my lies
Back into truth again
You even called me friend

You gave me strength
To stand alone again
To face the world
Out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me
You needed me

You needed me
You needed me

Sunday And Me


Sunday And Me
Composer(s): Neil Diamond
Performer(s): Jay & the Americans



Girls, have you got the kind of man everyone looks up to?
Well, if you don't, listen; I'll tell you what to do
Get your man, take him by the hand, and come on here to me
I'm here to tell you about equal opportunity

There was a time when the world was fickle
And it may have been hard to succeed
Well, times have changed now
And school and training is what you really need
It doesn't matter who you may be
Everyone's equal with the same opportunity

Things are changing for the better
Things are changing for the better
Now's the time for you to better yourself

Life's got problems, but you can make it
And I'm gonna tell you why
Just like the early bird that catches the worm
You gotta get up, go out and try
Your race or color won't stand in your way
Don't wait for tomorrow; today is your day

Things are changing for the better
Things are changing for the better
Now's the time for you to better yourself

Good jobs are out there, just waiting to be found
But they won't come to you, uh uh!
You gotta get up and look around!

It doesn't matter who you may be
Everyone's equal with the same opportunity

Things are changing for the better
Things are changing for the better
Now's the time for you to better yourself

(repeat)
Things are changing for the better ...

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)

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

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’

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

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

Composer(s): Harry Warren; Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): Bing Crosby;

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
