Sugar Town


Sugar Town
Composer(s): Lee Hazlewood
First release by: Nancy Sinatra - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



I got some troubles but they won't last
I'm gonna lay right down here in the grass
And pretty soon all my troubles will pass
'cause I'm in shoo-shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo-shoo
Shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo Sugar Town

I never had a dog that liked me some
Never had a friend or wanted one
So I just lay back and laugh at the sun
'cause I'm in shoo-shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo-shoo
Shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo Sugar Town

Yesterday it rained in Tennessee
I heard it also rained in Tallahassee
But not a drop fell on little old me
'cause I was in shoo-shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo-shoo
Shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo Sugar Town

If I had a million dollars or ten
I'd give to ya, world, and then
You'd go away and let me spend
My life in shoo-shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo-shoo
Shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo Sugar Town
la-la-la-la ...

You Don't Have To Be A Star (To Be In My Show)


You Don't Have To Be A Star (To Be In My Show)
Composer(s): James Dean; John Glover
Performer(s): Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis Jr.



You can come as you are with just your heart
And I'll take you in though you're rejected and hurt
To me you're worth, girl, what you have within
Oh honey, boy, I don't need no superstar 'cause I'll accept you as you are
You won't be denied cause I'm satisfied with the love that you can inspire
You don't have to be a star, baby, to be in my show
Oh, honey, you don't have to be a star, baby, to be in my show
Somebody nobody knows could steal the tune that you want to hear
So stop your running around cause now you've found what was cloudy is clear
Oh honey, there'll be no cheering from the clouds, just two hearts beating out loud
There'll be no parade, no tv or stage, only me till your dying day
You don't have to be a star, baby, to be in my show
Oh, honey, you don't have to be a star, baby, to be in my show
Don't think your star has to shine for me to find out where you're coming from
Oh honey, girl, what is a beauty queen if it don't mean that I'm number one?
I don't need no superstar cause I'll accept you as you are
You won't be denied cause I'm satisfied with the love that you can inspire
You don't have to be a star, baby, to be in my show
Oh, honey, you don't have to be a star, baby, to be in my show

Sugar The Road


Sugar The Road
Composer(s): Alvin Lee
Performer(s): Ten Years After



Having a good time, baby
You're having a ball
Your daddy don't dig what you look like
Don't dig it at all
Don't understand
What you're going through
No, no, no, no, no, no, he don't

He says there's only one way that you stay alive
Keep working for your pension till you're sixty five
Hey, No, no, don't dig it at all

You've grown up a big girl, baby
You're doing all right
You sleep in the daytime, baby now
You're leaping all night
Got your own scene
Said you're doing fine
My, my, my, doing fine, girl

Live like you want, let them call you a freak
You'll be a baby factory when you're married a week
Oh, no, no, no, can you live in a box? Get out, get out...

You're having a good time, baby
You're loving your life
There's more things ahead now, baby
Than being a wife
Well, I love your mind
'Cause you know it's free
Little darlin'

Don't worry about the people who scream and shout
Just give them fifty years and they might forget it out
Hey, yeah, I've gotta have me a good time
Darling, let it all hang out

You Don't Have To Be A Baby To Cry


You Don't Have To Be A Baby To Cry
Composer(s): Bob Merrill; Terry Shand
Performer(s): The Caravelles;
and various other artists



You don't have to be a ba-a-aby to cry
All you need is for love to go wrong
You don't have to be a ba-a-aby to cry
Or to lie awake the wh-o-le ni-i-ght long

When you leave me my golden rainbow disappears
And you leave me a broken heart that's full of tears

These ain't rainbows in my eyes, why should I lie
You don't have to be a ba-a-aby to cry

When you leave me my golden rainbow disappears
And you leave me a broken heart that's full of tears

These ain't rainbows in my eyes, why should I lie
You don't have to be a ba-a-aby to cry
You don't have to be a ba-a-aby to cry
You don't have to be a ba-a-aby to cry

You Don't Feel The Same


You Don't Feel The Same
Composer(s): Carly Simon
Performer(s): Carly Simon



Honey, I don't want you to see me this way
So out of control
So carried away
`Cause you don't feel the same

And I remember times when I was your storm
I blew hot and cold
And you were so warm
But, now you don't feel the same

I remember when you were looking up at me
Like I was the only one
That you'd ever wanna see

Honey, how can I ask you to stay
When you're already gone
There's no one to blame
It's just that you don't feel the same

I touch you
your eyes look away
Your hands are cold
The balance has changed
And darling, you don't feel
Honey, you don't feel
No, you don't feel the same

You Don't Even Know My Name


You Don't Even Know My Name (aka The Soldier Song) Composer(s): Sally Mudd Performer(s): Sally Mudd



You got a call to leave today
No long goodbyes
You were instructed to be brave
Soldier, dry your eyes
You've got to leave your fam'ly behind
So I can be with mine
And you don't even know my name

I'm the man, I'm the babies
I'm the little old ladies
Who lay down their heads at night
With peaceful dreams of a world to be
'Cause you're fighting for our lives
And you don't even know my name

I think about you ev'ry day
And what you're going through
Are you cold, are you afraid
Are you wonderin' why God chose you
Will I ever be able to tell you how grateful
I am for who you are
When you don't even know my name

I'm the man, I'm the babies
I'm the little old ladies
Who lay down their heads at night
With peaceful dreams of a world to be
'Cause you're fighting for our lives
And you don't even know my name
(Don't know my name, don't know my name)
And you don't even know my name
(Don't know my name, don't know my name)

I wanna say thank you, thank you, thank you
Thank you, thank you, thank you
I wanna say thank you, thank you, thank you
Soldier

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

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

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
