You Turned The Tables On Me
You Turned The Tables On Me
Composer(s): Sidney D. Mitchell; Louis Alter
Performer(s): Benny Goodman;
and various other artists
I used to be the apple of your eye
I had you with me every day
But now whenever you are passing by
You're always looking the other way
It's little things like this
That prompt me to say
You turned the tables on me
And now I'm falling for you
You turned the tables on me
I can't believe that it's true
I always thought when you brought
The lovely presents you bought
Why hadn't you brought me more
But now if you'd come
I'd welcome anything from
The five and ten cent store
You used to call me the top
You put me up on a throne
You let me fall with a drop
And now I'm out on my own
But after thinking it over and over
I got what was coming to me
Just like the sting of a bee
You turned the tables on me

Sweet Home Alabama

Composer(s): Ed King - Ronnie Van Zandt - Gary Rossington
First release by: Lynyrd Skynyrd - 1974
Covered by multiple other artists
Big wheels keep on turning
Carry me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the Southland
I miss ol' Bamy once again
And I think its a sin, yeah
Well I heard Mr. Young sing about us
Well, I heard ol' Neil put us down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A Southern man don't need him around anyhow
Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you
In Birmingham they shot the governor
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth
Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you
Here I come Alabama
Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they've been known to pick a song or two
Lord they get me off so much
They pick me up when I'm feeling blue
Now how about you?
Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you
Sweet home Alabama
Oh sweet home baby
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you
Here I come…

You Turn Me On, I'm A Radio
You Turn Me On, I'm A Radio
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
Performer(s): Joni Mitchell
If you're driving into town with a dark cloud above you
Dial in the number who's bound to love you
Oh, honey, you turn me on, I'm a radio
I'm a country station, I'm a little bit corny
I'm a wild wood flower waving for you
Broadcasting tower, waving for you
And I'm sending you out this signal here
I hope you can pick it loud and clear
I know you don't like weak women, you get bored so quick
And you don't like strong women 'cause they're hip to your tricks
It's been dirty for dirty down the line
But you know I come when you whistle, when you're loving and kind
But if you've got too many doubts
If there's no good reception for me then tune me out
Cause honey who needs the static?
It hurts the head and you wind up cracking
And the day goes dismal from "Breakfast Barney" to the sign off prayer
What a sorry face you get to wear
I'm gonna tell you again now if you're still listening there:
If you're driving into town with a dark cloud above you
Dail in the number who's bound to love you
If you're lying on the beach with the transistor going
Kick off the sandflies honey, the love's still flowing
if you head says forget it but your heart's still smoking
Call me at the station, the lines are open

Sweet Home
Sweet Home
Composer(s): Cropper
Performer(s): Sam & Dave
You needed help and I took you in
Because I was nice enough to be your friend
But now I know from the start when you walked in
You laid the cornerstone for a home in my heart
You built a home in my heart
I'll keep you here until we part
You gave my life a brand new start
When you built your home in my heart
You knocked on my door and I let you in
Now I know we're more than friends
I'll keep you here night and day
Your home in my heart is here to stay
Sweet sweet sweet home
Sweet sweet sweet home
Sweet sweet sweet home
Never again will I be alone
A home that's filled with nothin' but sunshine
A home that's filled with nothin' but care
Sweet sweet sweet home
One that both of us can share
Sweet sweet sweet home
Sweet sweet sweet home
Sweet sweet sweet home
I'm talkin' about a sweet home the night you came ...

Sweet Hitch-Hiker
Sweet Hitch-Hiker
Composer(s): John C. Fogerty
Performer(s): Creedence Clearwater Revival
Was Ridin' along side the highway, rollin' up the country side
Thinkin' I'm the devil's heatwave, what you burn in your crazy mind?
Saw a slight distraction standin' by the road
She was smilin' there, yellow in her hair
Do you wanna, I was thinkin', would you care
Sweet Hitch-a-Hiker
We could make music at the Greasy King
Sweet Hitch-a-Hiker
Won't you ride on my fast machine?
Cruisin' on thru the junction, I'm flyin' 'bout the speed of sound
Noticin' peculiar function, I ain't no roller coaster show me down
I turned away to see her, Woa! she caught my eye
But I was rollin' down, movin' too fast
Do you wanna, She was thinkin' can it last
Sweet Hitch-a-Hiker
We could make music at the Greasy King
Sweet Hitch-a-Hiker
Won't you ride on my fast machine?
Was busted up along the highway, I'm the saddest ridin' fool alive
Wond'ring if you're goin' in my way, won't you give a poor boy a ride?
Here she comes a ridin', Lord, She's flyin' high
But she was rollin' down, movin' too fast
Do you wanna, She was thinkin' can I last
Sweet Hitch-a-Hiker
We could make music at the Greasy King
Sweet Hitch-a-Hiker
Won't you ride on my fast machine?
Sweet Hitch-a-Hiker
We could make music at the Greasy King
Sweet Hitch-a-Hiker
Won't you ride on my fast machine?
Sweet Hitch-a-Hiker
We could make music at the Greasy King

Won't you ride on my fast machine?

You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth
You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth
(Hot Summer Night)
Composer(s): Jim Steinman
Performer(s): Meat Loaf
Boy: On a hot summer night
would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?
Girl: Will he offer me his mouth?
Boy: Yes
Girl: Will he offer me his teeth?
Boy: Yes
Girl: Will he offer me his jaws?
Boy: Yes
Girl: Will he offer me his hunger?
Boy: Yes
Girl: Again, will he offer me his hunger?
Boy: Yes!
Girl: And will he starve without me?
Boy: Yes!
Girl: And does he love me?
Boy: Yes
Girl: Yes
Boy: On a hot summer night would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?
Girl: Yes
Boy: I bet you to say that to all the boys
It was a hot summer night and the beach was burning
There was fog crawling over the sand
When I listened to your heart I hear the whole world turning
I see the shooting stars
Falling through your trembling hands
You were licking your lips and your lipstick shining
I was dying just to ask for a taste
We were lying together in a silver lining
By the light of the moon
You know there's not another moment
Not another moment
Not another moment to waste
When you hold me so close that my knees grow weak
And my soul is flying high above the ground
I'm trying to speak but no matter what I do
I just can't seem to make any sound
And then you took the words right out of my mouth
Oh it must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
And I swear it's true
I was just about to say I love you
And then you took the words right out of my mouth
Oh it must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
And I swear it's true
I was just about to say I love you
Now my body is shaking like a wave on the water
And I guess that I'm beginning to grin
Oooh, we're finally alone and we can do what we want to
The night is young
And ain't no one gonna know where you
No one gonna know where you
No one's gonna know where you've been
You were licking your lips and your lipstick shining
I was dying just to ask for a taste
We were lying together in a silver lining
By the light of the moon
You know there's not another moment
Not another moment
Not another moment to waste
And then you took the words right out of my mouth
Oh it must have been while you were kissing me

Sweet heaven I'm in love again
Sweet heaven I'm in love again
You came along now what can I do

One minute I'm so lonely and then
Oh sweet heaven
Hey babe
Now that I've found you life's a song
Say babe
Where were you hiding I've been waiting so long
Sweet heaven I'm in love again
So totally in love again
I'll shout it everywhere I go
I'll sing it on the radio
I want the whole world to know
Sweet heaven I'm in love again

You Took The Words Right Out Of My Heart
You Took The Words Right Out Of My Heart
Composer(s): Ralph Rainger; Leo Robin
Performer(s): Dorothy Lamour;
Benny Goodman; Henry Hall; Thelonious Monk;
Paul Motian Trio; Martha Tilton
Here in the moonlight I found my sunlight
Shining within your eyes
Now if you see me confused and dreamy
Blame it on this surprise
You took the words right out of my heart
And it was like a bolt from the blue
You took the words right out of my heart
When you said “I love you”
When you said “I love You”
I stood in a daze awhile
For I felt that way too
From the moment I saw you smile
I had the words and you in my heart
There wasn’t room enough for the two
You took the words right out of my heart
And there’s only room for you

Christmas Wishes
Christmas Wishes
Composer(s): Art Podell - Randy Sparks
Performer(s): New Christy Minstrels; Anne Murray
If I had my way this Christmas
If all I could wish would be
Of all the great wishes in a wonderful world
I'd only ask for three
And if I could have three wishes
And if the first wish came true
There'd be Peace on Earth, goodwill among all
And love in all that we do
Can you imagine a world like that?
What a wonderful world it would be
And then I would wish it would go on forever
For people like you and me
If I had my way this Christmas
And if all the others came true
My third wish would be, for now and forever
To share all my wishes with you

You Took My Breath Away
You Took My Breath Away
Composer(s): The Traveling Wilburys
Performer(s): The Traveling Wilburys
You took my breath away
Now I want it back again
Look at the mess I'm in
I don't know what to say
I don't know how to feel
You don't care anyway
All I can do is write
You took my breath away
You took this song of mine,
And changed the little bit
It used to sound alright
But now the words don't fit
It's getting hard to rhyme
Impossible to play
I've tried it many times
You took my breath away
One day when the sun is shining
There will be that silver lining
You knocked my headlights out
So turn them on again
I can't see where I'm going
I can't tell where I've been
I don't know how to feel
This hasn't been my day
Seems like I've lost a wheel
You took my breath away
You took my breath away
You took my breath away
You took my breath away

You Took Advantage Of Me
You Took Advantage Of Me
Composer(s): Lorenz Hart; Richard Rodgers
Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald;
and various other artists
I'm a sentimental sap, that's all
What's the use of trying not to fall?
I have no will, you've made your kill
'Cause you took advantage of me!
I'm just like an apple on a bough
And you're gonna shake me down somehow
So, what's the use,
you've cooked my goose
'Cause you took advantage of me!
I'm so hot and bothered that I don't
know my elbow from my ear
I suffer something awful each time you go
And much worse when you're near
Here I am with all my bridges burned
Just a babe in arms where
you're concerned
So lock the doors and call me yours
'Cause you took advantage of me

Sweet Guinevere
Sweet Guinevere
Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
Sweet Guinevere you’re off to the coal town tonight
And your young brother Ernie’s up in Pittsburgh PA
You know mother loves you, and dad’s in the mine
So don’t go to the coal town, Guinevere, if you’re kind
She loves a young man and he lives in the town
He leaves the house early for he works underground
He makes a good wage for a coal miner’s son
And she’s a bit pretty, just turned twenty-one
Sweet Guinevere you’re off to the coal town tonight
And your young brother Ernie’s up in Pittsburgh PA
You know mother loves you, and dad’s in the mine
So don’t go to the coal town, Guinevere, shut the blind
She knows her good mother’s not feelin’ no pain
She remembers an explosion and the black falling rain
She paints her thin lips in her dewy-eyed way
Then she says to the daughter, dear daughter I pray
Sweet Guinevere you’re off to the coal town tonight
And your young brother Ernie’s up in Pittsburgh PA
You know mother loves you, and dad’s in the mine
So don’t go to the coal town, Guinevere, if you’re kind

You To Me Are Everything
You To Me Are Everything
Composer(s): Michael Denne; Ken Gold
Performer(s): The Real Thing
and various other artists
Oohh I would take the stars out of the sky for you
Stop the rain from falling if you asked me to
I'd do anything for you, your wish is my command
I can move a mountain when your hand is in my hand
Words could not express how much you mean to me
There must be some other way to make you see
If it takes my heart and soul you know I'll pay the price
Everything that I possess I'd gladly sacrifice
Oh you to me are everything
the sweetest song that I could sing
Oh baby, oh baby
To you I guess I'm just a clown
Who picks you up each time you're down
Oh baby, oh baby
You give me just a taste of love
To build my hopes upon
You know you've got the power girl
To keep me holding on
So now you've got the best of me
C'mon and take the rest of me
Oh baby
Though you're close to me we seem so far apart
Maybe given time you'll have a change of heart
If it takes forever girl then I'm prepared to wait
The day you give your love to me won't be a day too late
Oh you to me are everything
the sweetest song that I could sing
Oh baby, oh baby
To you I guess I'm just a clown
Who picks you up each time you're down
Oh baby, oh baby
You give me just a taste of love
To build my hopes upon
You know you've got the power girl
To keep me holding on
So now you've got the best of me
C'mon and take the rest of me
Oh baby
Oh you to me are everything
the sweetest song that I could sing
Oh baby, oh baby
To you I guess I'm just a clown
Who picks you up each time you're down
Oh baby, oh baby
You give me just a taste of love
To build my hopes upon
You know you've got the power girl
To keep me holding on
So now you've got the best of me
C'mon and take the rest of me
Oh baby

Sweet Georgia Brown
Sweet Georgia Brown (aka Bright Mississippi)
Composer(s): Ben Bernie - Kenneth Casey - Maceo Pinkard
First release by: Ben Bernie and His Hotel Roosevelt Orch. - 1925
Covered by multiple other artists
She just got here yesterday
Things are hot here now they say
There's a new gal in town
Gals are jealous, there's no doubt
All the guys just rave about
Sweet, Sweet Georgia Brown
And ever since she came, the common folks all claim, say
No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia Brown
Two left feet, but oh, so neat has Sweet Georgia Brown
They all sigh and wanna die for Sweet Georgia Brown
I'll tell you just why, you know I don't lie (not much!)
It's been said she knocks 'em dead when she lands in town
Since she came why it's a shame how she's cooled 'em down
Fellas that she can't get must be fellas that she ain't met
Georgia claimed her, Georgia named her, Sweet Georgia Brown
All you gals will get the blues
all you pals will surely lose
And, there's but one excuse
Now I've told you who she was
and I've told you what she does
Still, give this gal her dues
This pretty maiden's prayer is answered anywhere
No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia Brown
Two left feet, but oh, so neat has Sweet Georgia Brown
They all sigh and wanna die for Sweet Georgia Brown
I'll tell you just why, you know I don't lie (not much!)
All those tips the porter slips to Sweet Georgia Brown
They buy clothes at fashion shows for one dollar down
Fellas, won'tcha tip your hats
Oh boy, ain't she the cats?
Who's that mister, 't ain't her sister
It's Sweet Georgia Brown

You Think Of Everything
You Think Of Everything
Composer(s): Joseph McCarthy; James Van Heusen
Performer(s): Connie Haines;
Dick Haymes; Richard Himber; Joe Williams
You think of everything, don’t you?
You think of everything
With every smile, you bring sunshine my way
Your thoughts are all in my direction
And yet you don’t intrude
And when I am low and need affection
You anticipate my mood
You think of everything, don’t you?
It’s like a dream affair
If I need anything, you’re always there
I can’t remember you forgetting those little things I adore
You think of everything to make you love me more

No more runnin' down the wrong road
dancin' to a diff'rent drum
Can't you see what's goin' on
deep inside your heart?
Always searchin' for the real thing
livin' like it's far away
Just leave all the madness in yesterday
You're holdin' the key

(Shine your light on me)
You are the magic
you're right where I wanna be
(Oh sweet freedom carry me along)
We'll keep the spirit alive on and on
We'll be dancin' in the moonlight
smilin' with the risin' sun
Livin' like we've never done
goin' all the way
Reachin' out to meet the changes
touchin' every shining star
The light of tomorrow is right where we are
There's no turnin' back
from what I'm feeling
(Shine sweet freedom)
(Shine your light on me)
You are the magic
you're right where I wanna be
(Oh sweet freedom carry me along)
We'll keep the spirit alive on and on
'Cause there'll be starlight all night
when we're close together
Share those feelings dancin' in your eyes
Tonight they're guiding us
shinin' till the mornin' light
