You Wreck Me


You Wreck Me
Composer(s): Mike Campbell; Tom Petty
Performer(s): Tom Petty



Tonight we ride, right or wrong
Tonight we sail, on a radio song
Rescue me, should I go down
If I stay too long in trouble town

(Chorus)
Oh, yeah, you wreck me, baby
You break me in two
But you move me, honey
Yes, you do

Now and again I get the feeling
Well if I don't win, I'm a gonna break even
Rescue me, should I go wrong
If I dig too deep, if I stay too long

(Chorus)

I'll be the boy in the corduroy pants
You be the girl at the high school dance
Run with me, wherever I go
Just play dumb, whatever you know

(Chorus)

You Wouldn't Hurt Me


You Wouldn't Hurt Me
Composer(s): Michael Jackson
Performer(s): Patti Austin



Loving you came easily
That it made be blind to all there was to see
Now my heart is filled with pain
To understand, I never will
How could it come to be that you don't love me still?
Now it's getting to be plain

If you really cared about anyone else, you know you wouldn't hurt me
If you cared about more than yourself, I bet you wouldn't go
If you really cared about anyone else, you know you wouldn't hurt me
If you cared about more than yourself, you wouldn't walk out the door

Though somedays the blues was our parade
Still we marched through all the tears we made
Now I find it was an old game of charades...that you played

I did my best to bring you joy
How can you just leave me like a broken toy?
Where's the man that once was you?
If I could be within your mind
I would never think to treat you this unkind
The pain you caused will come to you

If you really cared about anyone else, you know you wouldn't hurt me
If you cared about more than yourself, I bet you wouldn't go
If you really cared about anyone else, you know you wouldn't hurt me
If you cared about more than yourself, you wouldn't walk out the door

Sweet Sir Galahad


Sweet Sir Galahad
Composer(s): Joan Baez
Performer(s): Joan Baez; Gary Scruggs



Sweet Sir Galahad
came in through the window
in the night when
the moon was in the yard
He took her hand in his
and shook the long hair
from his neck and he told her
she'd been working much too hard
It was true that ever since the day
her crazy man had passed away
to the land of poet's pride
she laughed and talked alot
with new people on the block
but always at evening time she cried

And here's to the dawn of their days

She moved her head
a little down on the bed
until it rested softly on his knee
And there she dropped her smile
and there she sighed awhile
and told him all the sadness
of those years that numbered three
Well you know I think my fate's belated
because of all the hours I waited
for the day when I'd no longer cry
I get myself to work by eight
but oh, was I born too late
and do you think I'll fail
at every single thing I try?

And here's to the dawn of their days

He just put his arm around her
and that's the way I found her
eight months later to the day
The lines of a smile erased
the tear tracks upon her face
a smile could linger, even stay
Sweet Sir Galahad went down
with his gay bride of flowers
the prince of the hours
of her lifetime

And here's to the dawn
of their days
of their days

Sweet Rosie O'Grady


Sweet Rosie O'Grady
Composer(s): Maude Nugent
Performer(s): Betty Grable; Lou Praeger



Just down around the corner of the street I reside
There lives the cutest little girl I have ever spied
Her name is Rose O'Grady and, I don't mind telling you
That she's the sweetest little Rose the garden ever grew

I never shall forget the day she promised to be mine
As we sat telling love tales, in the golden summer time
'T was on her finger that I placed a small engagement ring
While in the trees, the little birds this song they seemed to sing!

Sweet Rosie O'Grady
My dear little Rose
She's my steady lady
Most everyone knows
And when we are married
How happy we'll be
I love sweet Rosie O'Grady
And Rosie O'Grady, loves me

You Won't Have To Cry


You Won't Have To Cry
Composer(s): James McGuinn; Gene Clark
Performer(s): The Byrds



Oh you know it makes me sad to see you feel so bad
But it's happened to you many times before
But if you will come with me then girl you will see
That you won't have to cry anymore

There's no reason to feel blue because of what he says to you
And I wouldn't want to see you hurt no more
I could never do you wrong 'cause my love for you's too strong
And you won't have to cry anymore

Oh I saw you there with tears in your eyes
Because he told you so many many lies
Oh you know it isn't right to put yourself up tight
By thinking 'bout the things he's done before

Just trust the love in me
And girl you will see
That you won't have to cry
No you won't have to cry
No you won't have to cry anymore

Sweet Rhode Island Red
Composer(s): Tina Turner
Performer(s): Ike & Tina Turner



Born in Louisiana in a town called Franklin
I was fully matured by the time I reached the age of 10
Old mulatto gal is what they called me
And us mulattos had no trouble at all with men
All men say that I'm as sweet as honey
'Cause I'm 34, 38 and 22 at the tonky

They call me sweet Rhode island red
Sweet Rhode island red
Sweet Rhode island red
Sweet Rhode island red
Sweet t is what they say
About sweet Rhode island red

Tried to live the life that I thought I wanted me to-wooooo

They call me sweet Rhode island red
Sweet Rhode island red
Sweet Rhode island red
Sweet Rhode island red
Sweet t is what they say
About sweet Rhode island red

Well I was 17 when I moved to New Orleans
Living in the city has always been my dream
People there, said it was a shame and a pity
When old mayor Daley gave me the keys to the city
He too, said that I was as sweet as honey
'Cause I'm 34, 38 and 22 at the tonky

They call me sweet Rhode island red
Sweet Rhode island red
Sweet Rhode island red
Sweet Rhode island red
Sweet t is what they say
About sweet Rhode island red

They call me sweet Rhode island red
Sweet Rhode island red
Sweet Rhode island red
Sweet Rhode island red

You Won't Find Another Fool Like Me
Composer(s): Tony Macaulay; Roger Stephens
Performer(s): The New Seekers



You won't find another fool like me, babe
No you won't
Who'll sit around all night and wait for you
And close their eyes, to oh so many lies
No one else could love you like I do

I wanna tell ya
You won't find another clown like me, babe
No you won't
I can't count the times you said you'd leave
You know darned well you're fooling
'Cause wherever you may go
You won't find another fool like me

Sometimes I can't understand
What makes me the fool that I am
Then you touch my hand
And suddenly I know

Even though you treat me like you do, babe
You know you do
I'm so hooked on you I can't get free
Oh but I'll get through the bad times
'Cause in my heart I know
That you won't find another fool like me

La la la

Give me just a sign
You may ring me sometime
I'll fall for that old game you always play, boy
I wanna tell ya
You won't find another clown like me babe
I can'y count the times you said you'd leave
You know darned well you're fooling
'Cause wherever you may go
You won't find another fool like me
Ooohhh
You will never find another fool like me

Sweet Potato Piper


Sweet Potato Piper
Composer(s): Johnny Burke - James V. Monaco
Performer(s): Bing Crosby, Dorothy Lamour, Bob Hope
and multiple other artists



Music soothes the savage
That's a well known phrase
But your heart becomes
Full of kettle drums
When the sweet potato piper plays

Go on, throw your hat up
Shout a few hoorays
Cause you can't hold back
You're a jumpin' jack
When the sweet potato piper plays

Though it's not a magic flute
There's a fascinatin' toot
It's not exactly beautiful
It's sort of like an I don't know
I guess you'd call it cute!

Sunbeams try new dance steps,
Songbirds sound their A's
And the world joins in
With a great big grin
When the sweet potato piper plays

Oh, play it Piper!

Yes, make me know it!

(Though it's not a magic flute)
(There's a fascinatin' toot)
(It's not exactly beautiful)
It's sort of like an I don't know
I guess you'd call it cute

Yes, I'm with the Piper!

(Music soothes the savage)
(That's a well known phrase)
But your heart becomes
Full of kettle drums
When the sweet potato piper plays

Go on, throw your hat up
Shout a few hoorays (Okay!)
(Cause you can't hold back)
(You're a jumpin' jack)
(When the sweet potato piper plays)

Though it's not a magic flute (Oh, no, no, no)
There's a fascinatin' toot (Toot-doo-doo-doo)
It's not exactly beautiful
It's sort of like an' I don't know
I guess you'd call it cute-li-doot

(Sunbeams try new dance steps)
(Songbirds sound their A's)
(And the world joins in)
(With a great big grin)
(When the sweet potato piper plays)

Oh, sweet potato piper hotter than a pickled pepper picker
Pick a piper for me

You Won't Ever Forget Me


You Won't Ever Forget Me
Composer(s): Lois Snapp; Ernest Tubb
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb; The McPeak Brothers



You tell me tonight that we’re parting
You tell me we are through
You’re sorry you say that it’s over
But that you have found somebody new

But before you leave me my darling
Before you go far away
Please listen to me for I love you, Dear
And I have a few words to say

You Won't Ever Forget Me
No matter how hard you try
And when it’s too late, my Darling
You will wish you had not said goodbye

So be sure to your heart you’re not laying
Be sure you don’t still love me yet
It’s easy to find a new love
But an old love is hard to forget

So dear take this thought along with you
Wherever you happen to be
Your lips maybe true to another
But your heart will be crying for me

Because You Won't Ever Forget Me
No matter how hard you try
And when it’s too late, my Darling
You will wish you had not said goodbye

Dear Mr. Claus
Composer(s): Mark Lindsay - Terry Melcher
Performer(s): Paul Revere & the Raiders



Dear Mr. Claus, I'm writing you this note
Please pay attention to the words I've wrote
It's getting very lonely here at home
I think I'd like a special someone
I can call my very own

Dear Mr. Claus, won't you bring me a real live doll?
'Cause I've been very, very good
Dear Mr. Claus, won't you bring me a real live doll?
Gee, you must have a thousand
You could do it, if you would

Won't you bring me a real live doll?
I'd like a special trick that looks delicious
Won't you bring me a real live doll?
I'm tired of cleaning all the pots and pans and dirty dishes

You can make her hair, dear Santa, black, brown, or red (or yellow)
Just be sure, dear Santa Claus, there's some on her head (there's a good fellow)

Dear Mr. Claus, won't you bring me a real live doll?
And I'll be good next year
And I'll be good next year

Yeah

You Won't Be Satisfied (Until You Break My Heart)
Composer(s): Larry Stock; Harry James
Performer(s): Doris Day;
and various other artists



You won't be satisfied until you break my heart
You're never satisfied until the teardrops start
I tried to shower you with lovin' kisses
But all I ever get from you is naggin' and braggin'
My poor heart is saggin'

The way you toss my heart around's a cryin' shame
I'll bet you wouldn`t like it if I did the same
You're only happy tearin' all my dreams apart
You won't be satisfied until you break my heart

You won't be satisfied until you break my heart
You're never satisfied until the teardrops start
I tried to shower you with lovin' kisses
But all I ever get from you is naggin' and braggin'
My poor heart is saggin'

You won't be satisfied until you break my heart
You're never satisfied until the teardrops start
I tried to shower you with lovin' kisses
But all I ever get from you is naggin' and braggin'
My poor heart is saggin'

The way you toss my heart around's a cryin' shame
I'll bet you wouldn`t like it if I did the same
You're only happy tearin' all my dreams apart

It doesn't seem fair
(Those little white lies)
But you don't seem to care
(And now I realize)
You won't be satisfied until you've broken my heart

Sweet Pea


Sweet Pea
Composer(s): Tommy Roe
Performer(s): Tommy Roe



I went to a dance just the other night
I met a girl there she was out of sight
I asked a friend of mine who she could be
He said that her friends just call her Sweet Pea

Oh Sweet Pea
come on and dance with me
come on come on come on and dance with me
Oh Sweet Pea
come on and be my girl
come on come on come on and be my girl

I walked on over and asked her to dance
thinkin' maybe later of makin' romance
but every guy there was thinkin'; like me
I had to stand in line to get a dance with Sweet Pea

Oh Sweet Pea
come on and dance with me
come on come on come on and dance with me
Oh Sweet Pea
come on and be my girl
come on come on come on and be my girl

I finally got to whisper sweet words in her ear
convinced that we oughta get away from there
we took a little walk I held her close to me
and underneath the stars I said to Sweet Pea

Oh Sweet Pea I love you can't you see
Love you love you love you can't you see
Oh Sweet Pea come on and be my girl
come on come on come on and be my girl

Sweet Patti O'Hara Smith, there's something to my song
She makes me laugh, makes me smile
She makes, makes me loose control

There's something about her and I can't live without her
My mind will be indeferrably blow
Sweet Patti O'Hara Smith, my mind will be indeferrably blow

Sweet Patti O'Hara Smith turns me inside out
Makes me scream, she makes me steam
Makes me jump and shout oohh

There's something about her and I can't live without her
Deferrably freaking me out
Sweet Patti O'Hara Smith, deferrably freaking me out
Deferrably freaking me out

But Sweet Patti O'Hara Smith belongs to my best friend,
But he's so tired, it just ain't right
He won't even give me a lend.

But I'm gonna get her and I'd like to bet her
She'll come 'round to me in the end
Sweet Patti O'Hara Smith, she's driving me right 'round the bend
Yes she's driving me right 'round the bend
Yeaaah

You Wonder How These Things Began


You Wonder How These Things Began
Composer(s): Schmidt; Jones
Performer(s): Peter Wyngarde



Well, this begins with a Glen
It begins with a season
Which, for want of a better reason, we'll call April
It begins with a forest, where the woodchucks woo
And leaves wax green
And the vines entwine moonlight lovers

Try to see it - not with your eyes, because they're wise
But with your ears - the cool, green breathing of the leaves
And hear it with the inside of your hand
The soundless sound of shadows

Celebrate sensation!
Recall it's secret place
You've been there you remember?
That special place?

Where someone held your hand?
And love was sweeter than the berries or the honey
Or the stinging taste of mint
It is April - before a rainfall
Perfect time to be in love

You Win Again (The Bee Gees)


You Win Again
Composer(s): Barry Gibb; Robin Gibb; Maurice Gibb
Performer(s): The Bee Gees



I couldn't figure why
You couldn't give me what everybody needs
I shouldn't let you kick me when I'm down
My baby
I find out everybody know that
You've been using me
I'm surprised you
Let me stay around you
One day I'm gonna lift the cover
And look inside your heart
We gotta level before we go
And tear this love apart

(Chorus)
There's no fight you can't fight
This battle of love with me
You win again
So little time
We do nothing but compete
There's no life on earth
No other could see me through
You win again
Some never try
But if anybody can, we can
And I'll be, I'll be
Following you

Oh baby I shake you from now on
I'm gonna break down your defenses
One by one
I'm gonna hit you from all sides
Lay your fortress open wide
Nobody stops this body from
Taking you

You better beware, I swear
I'm gonna be there one day when you fall
I could never let you cast aside
The greatest love of all

(Repeat Chorus)

Sweet Memories (Mickey Newbury)


Sweet Memories
Composer(s): Mickey Newbury
First release by: Mickey Newbury - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists



My world is like a river as dark as it is deep
Night after night the past slips in and gathers all my sleep
My days are just an endless stream of emptiness to me
Filled only by the fleeting moments of her memories
Sweet memories sweet memories hmm

She slipped into the silence of my dreams last night
Wondering from room to room turning on each light
Her laughter spills like water from the river to the sea
And I'm swept away from sadness clinging to her memories
Sweet memories sweet memories hmm
