Sugar Sweet


Sugar Sweet
Composer(s): Mel London
First release by: Muddy Waters - 1955



I'm gonna tell you about my baby
I speak of her with pride
She go all the way to make me satisfied
Oh she's my baby, she's my baby, don't you see
I can't call her sugar 'cause sugar never was so sweet

It ain't no suprise, she serve me in the bed
She manicure my nails, scratch dandruff from my head
She's my baby, she's my baby, don't you see
I can't call her sugar 'cause sugar never was so sweet

When I say what I want, that's the way it's gonna be
She fall over backwards to go right on pleasin' me
Oh she's my baby, she's my baby, can't you see
I can't call her sugar 'cause sugar never was so sweet

You Don't Bring Me Flowers


You Don't Bring Me Flowers
Composer(s): Neil Diamond; Alan & Marilyn Bergman
Performer(s): Neil Diamond;
and various other artists



You don't bring me flowers
You don't sing me love songs
You hardly talk to me anymore
When you come through the door
At the end of the day

I remember when
You couldn't wait to love me
Used to hate to leave me
Now after lovin' me late at night
When it's good for you
And you're feeling alright
Well you just roll over
And you turn out the light
And you don't bring me flowers anymore

It used to be so natural
To talk about forever
But 'used to be's' don't count anymore
They just lay on the floor
'Til we sweep them away

And baby, I remember
All the things you taught me
I learned how to laugh
And I learned how to cry
Well I learned how to love
Even learned how to lie
You'd think I could learn
How to tell you goodbye
'Cause you don't bring me flowers anymore

You do something to me
Something that simply mystifies me
Tell me, why should it be
You have the power to hypnotize me

Let me live 'neath your spell
*You* do that voodoo that you do so well

For you do something to me
That nobody else could do

Let me live 'neath your spell
*You* do that voodoo that you do so well

For you do something to me
That nobody else could do

That nobody else could do

There's a crazy little shack beyond the tracks
And ev'rybody calls it the sugar shack
Well, it's just a coffeehouse and it's made out of wood
Expresso coffee tastes mighty good
That's not the reason why I've got to get back
To that sugar shack, whoa baby
To that sugar shack.

There's this cute little girlie, she's a'workin' there
A black leotard and her feet are bare
I'm gonna drink a lotta coffee, spend a little cash
Make that girl love me when I put on some trash
You can understand why I've got to get back
To that sugar shack, whoa baby
To that sugar shack, yeah honey
To that sugar shack, whoa yes
To that sugar shack.

Now that sugar shack queen is a'married to me, yeah yeah
We just sit around and dream of those old memories
Ah, but one of these days I'm gonna lay down tracks
In the direction of that sugar shack
Just me and her yes we're gonna go back
To that sugar shack,, whoa uh oh
To that sugar shack, yeah honey
To our sugar shack

Yeh, yeh, yeh, our sugar shack

You Do


You Do
Composer(s): Joseph Myrow; Mack Gordon
Performer(s): Vaugh Monroe;
and various other artists



Who knows how much I love you, you do
No one means more to me than, you do
You take December and smile it into May
And then December comes back again
When you're away
Who has a charm that very few do
Who makes life necessary, you do
And who can take my dreams
And make my dreams come true
Who
Don't give me three guesses
One will do.

(Orchestral Break)

Who has a charm that very few do

You Didn't Like My Lovin'


You Didn't Like My Lovin'
Composer(s): Loretta Lynn; Joe "Red" Hayes; Teddy Wilburn
Performer(s): Loretta Lynn



Don't you think it's a little too late to show those tears
Just look at the way you're treatin' me all these years
I'm a full grown woman but you're treatin' me like a kid
You didn't like my lovin' so I found someone that did

You didn't like my lovin' so I found someone that did
And the one I found really made me flip my lid
After all that's past I'm learnin' to live at last
You didn't like my lovin' so I found someone that did

(Instrumental Break)

Far as I'm concerned you can turn and walk out that door
Cause the way we'd made it don't make it with me no more
Where your head used to lay there's another head there instead
You didn't like my lovin' so I found someone that did

You didn't like my lovin' so I found someone that did
And the one I found really made me flip my lid
After all that's past I'm learnin' to live at last
You didn't like my lovin' so I found someone that did

You didn't like my lovin' so I found someone that did

You Didn't Have To Be So Nice


You Didn't Have To Be So Nice
Composer(s): John Sebastian; Steve Boone
Performer(s): The Lovin' Spoonful;
and various other artists



You didn't have to be so nice
I would have liked you anyway
If you had just looked once or twice
And gone upon your quiet way

Today I said the time was right for me to follow you
I knew I'd find you in a day or two
And it's true

You came upon a quiet day
You simply seemed to take your place
I knew that it would be that way
The minute that I saw your face

And when we've had a few more days (when we've had a few more days)
I wonder if I'll get to say (wonder if I'll get to say)
You didn't have to be so nice (be so nice)
I would have liked you anyway (would have liked)

Today I said the time was right for me to follow you (today said
that the time was right to follow you)
I knew I'd find you in a day or two (I knew that I would find you in
a day or two)
And it's true

You didn't have to be so nice (didn't have to be so nice)
I would have liked you anyway (would have liked you anyway)
If you had just looked once or twice (once or twice)
And gone upon your quiet way (quiet way)

Sugar Moon


Sugar Moon
Composer(s): Percy Wenrich - Stanley Murphy



Lindy Lou and Jasper in the fields of sugar cane
Down in Loosiana, Jasper was so love sick, that his heart was filled with pain
For his Lindy Lou
When the sun was shining bright
He'd make love with all his might
Lindy'd say: "You're acting like a loon
Don't come fussin' 'round at noon
Nighttime is the time to spoon
Underneath the sugar moon"

Jasper says to Lindy: "Won't you be my lovin' bride?"
Sugar moon am shinin'
Lindy says "Uh huh", and cuddles closer to his side
Wedding mighty soon
Gwine to have a barbecue
Gwine to roast an ox or two
Possum pie 'simmon jam and coon
Can't you hear the banjos ring
Can't you hear Miss Lindy sing
Underneath the sugar moon?

When the sugar moon am moonin'
You can spoon and keep on spoonin'
Croon a tune and keep on croonin'
When you croon, croon a tune, that a coon can croon in June
For I love to hear you hummin'
And I dearly love to spoon
But my lovin' coon, turtle dovin' coon
Underneath the sugar moon

You Cut Me To The Bone


You Cut Me To The Bone
Composer(s): Robben Ford
Performer(s): Robben Ford



nobody knows when it all began
this kind of trouble between a woman and man
you know the nature of love brings pain
and you tell that you never want to feel that way again
and I seem to be at the heart of all of your problems
you cut me to the bone baby,

you cut me to the bone
you know how to make a man feel alone
the way you cut me to the bone

you've gone a long way from loving me
and now you're leaving me in misery forget about it
all that we've been through you're gonna do the things you want to do
and you don't want to hear a single word I'm saying

you cut me to the bone
baby, you cut me to the bone
you know how to make a man feel alone
the way you cut me to the bone

lost in a dream, that's what you are
one day you'll wake up and see you went too far
along with the sunshine there will be some rain
but it was never meant to be in vain
and you don't want to hear a single word about it

you cut me to the bone
baby, you cut me to the bone
you know how to make a man feel alone
the way you cut me to the bone
you know how to make a man feel alone
the way you cut me to the bone

Sugar Mice


Sugar Mice
Composer(s): Derek William Dick - Mark Kelly - Ian Mosley - Steve Rothery - Pete Trewavas
Performer(s): Marillion; Chaneton; Fish



I was flicking through the channels on the tv
On a sunday in milwaukee in the rain
Trying to piece together conversations
Trying to find out where to lay the blame

But when it comes right down to it there's no use trying to pretend
For when it gets right down to it there's no one here that's left to blame
Blame it on me, you can blame it on me
We're just sugar mice in the rain

I heard sinatra calling me through the floorboards
Where you pay a quarter for a partnership in rhyme
To the jukebox crying in the corner
While the waitress is counting out the time

For when it comes right down to it there's no use trying to pretend
For when it gets right down to it there's no one really left to blame
Blame it on me, you can blame it on me
We're just sugar mice in the rain

'cause I know what I feel, know what I want I know what I am
Daddy took a raincheck
Cos I know what I want, know what I feel I know what I need
Daddy took a raincheck, your daddy took a raincheck
Ain't no one in here that's left to blame but me
Blame it on me, blame it on me

Well the toughest thing that I ever did was talk to the kids on the phone
When I heard them asking questions I knew that that you were all alone
Can't you understand that the government left me out of work
I just couldn't stand the looks on their faces saying, what a jerk

So if you want my address it's number one at the end of the bar
Where I sit with the broken angels clutching at straws and nursing our scars
Blame it on me, blame it on me
Sugar mice in the rain
Your daddy took a raincheck, your daddy took a raincheck

You Could've Heard A Heart Break


You Could've Heard A Heart Break
Composer(s): Mark Rossi
Performer(s): Johnny Lee



Behind the bar I see some crazy things
I watch those disappearing wedding rings
A telephone call pagin' so and so
There he is shakin' his head no
'Cause he's got this girl hangin' all over him
He can't quit now, he's gone out on a limb
Then the place turns quiet as a mummy's tomb
Guess who happened to walk in the room

You could've heard a heart break
You could've heard a tear drop
I feel so bad for her sake
Now what's she gonna do
The chances that a fool takes
Never knowin' when to stop
You could've heard a heart break
Breakin' right in two

She walks on over
Tears in her eyes
And knows she's gonna hear a pack of lies
The silence is deafening
All eyes are on her
What will she say to that innocent girl
Her hands start shakin'
'Cause the words don't come
She's in shock, her whole body is numb
Everyone there is holdin' their breath
With the slightest whisper, we'll know what she says

You could've heard a heart break
You could've heard a tear drop
I feel so bad for her sake
Now what's she gonna do
The chances that a fool takes
Never knowin' when to stop
You could've heard a heart break
Breakin' right in two

You could've heard a heart break
You could've heard a tear drop
I feel so bad for her sake
Now what's she gonna do
The chances that a fool takes
Never knowin' when to stop
You could've heard a heart break
Breakin' right in two

You could've heard a heart break

Composer(s): Lynsey De Paul - Barry Blue
First release by: Lynsey De Paul - 1972
Covered by multiple other artists



One for you and one for me
But one and one and one
Pardon me - comes to three
Looking sweet and all the while
Hid behind the smile was saccharine
I'm a go between

Save me, save me
Baby, baby sugar me
Gotta get my candy free
Sugar me by day
Sugar me my baby, baby sugar me
Gotta get my candy free
Sugar me by day, sugar me by night
Sugar sugar sugar sugar sugar sugar sugar

Count me in from one to two
But nothing more or less will do
Just me and you
Honey sweet and harmony
Will melt away the bitter memory
It's gotta be

Save me, save me
Baby, baby sugar me
I gotta get my candy free
Sugar me by day
Sugar me my baby, baby sugar me
I gotta get my candy free
Sugar me by day, sugar me my night

Save me, save me

You Couldn't Be Cuter


You Couldn't Be Cuter
Composer(s): Jerome Kern; Dorothy Fields
Performer(s): Margaret Whiting;
and various other artists



(You couldn't be nicer
Couldn't be sweeter
Couldn't be better
Couldn't be smarter
Couldn't be cuter baby than you are)

Your poise! Your pose!
That cute fantastic nose!
You're mighty like a knock-out,
You're mighty like a rose!
I'm sold, I'm hooked!
The well known goose is cooked!
You got me little fella
I'm sunk! I'm gone! I'm hooked!

You couldn't be cuter
Plus that you couldn't be smarter
Plus that intelligent face you have
A disgraceful charm for me

You couldn't be keener
You look so fresh from the cleaner
You are the little grand slam
I'll bring to my family

My ma will show you an album
Of me that will bore you to tears!
And you'll attract all the relatives
We have dodged for years and years

And what'll they tell me?
Exactly what'll they tell me?
They'll say you couldn't be nicer,
Couldn't be sweeter, couldn't be better
Couldn't be smoother, couldn't be cuter
Baby, than you are!

Sugar Magnolia


Sugar Magnolia
Composer(s): Robert Hunter - Bob Weir
First release by: The Grateful Dead - 1970



Sugar magnolia, blossoms blooming, heads all empty and I don't care
Saw my baby down by the river, knew she'd have to come up soon for air

Sweet blossom come on, under the willow, we can have high times if you'll abide
We can discover the wonders of nature, rolling in the rushes down by the riverside

She's got everything delightful, she's got everything I need
Takes the wheel when I'm seeing double, pays my ticket when I speed

She comes skimmin' through rays of violet, she can wade in a drop of dew
She don't come and I don't follow, waits backstage while I sing to you

Well, she can dance a Cajun rhythm, jump like a willys in four wheel drive
She's a summer love for spring, fall and winter. She can make happy any man alive

Sugar magnolia, ringing that bluebell, caught up in sunlight, come on out singing
I'll walk you in the sunshine, come on honey, come along with me

She's got everything delightful, she's got everything I need
A breeze in the pines and the sun and bright moonlight, lazing in the sunshine yes indeed

Sometimes when the cuckoo's crying, when the moon is half way down
Sometimes when the night is dying, I take me out and I wander around, I wander 'round

Sunshine, daydream, walking in the tall trees, going where the wind goes
Blooming like a red rose, breathing more freely
Ride our singin', I'll walk you in the morning sunshine
Sunshine, daydream. Sunshine, daydream. Walking in the sunshine

You Comb Her Hair


You Comb Her Hair
Composer(s): Hank Cochran; Harlan Howard
Performer(s): George Jones; Jim Ed Brown;
Johnny Cash; Del Reeves; The Statler Brothers



I know that you wonder who I dream about
And if I've met someone who thrills me so
Well, I finally met a girl who turns me inside out
I'll tell you about her, for you ought to know

You comb her hair ev'ry mornin'
And make sure she's dressed just right
You comb her hair ev'ry mornin'
And put her to bed ev'ry night

When she's around me, sometimes I can hardly speak
I stammer and I walk right into doors
And just to hold her hand in mine makes me feel weak
Oh, you know her, honey, don't you know it's you

You comb her hair ev'ry mornin'
And make sure she's dressed just right
You comb her hair ev'ry mornin'
And put her to bed ev'ry night
