A Little Bit More


A Little Bit More
((Danish Version: Endnu En Gang (by Bamse) - 1977))
Composer(s): Bobby Gosh
First release by: Bobby Gosh - 1973
Covered by multiple other artists



When your body's had enough of me
And I'm layin' flat out on the floor
When you think I've loved you all I can
I'm gonna love you a little bit more

Come on over here and lay by my side
I've got to be touchin' you
Let me rub your tired shoulders
The way I used to do

Look into my eyes and give me that smile
The one that always turns me on
And let me take your hair down
`Cause we're stayin' up to greet the sun

And when your body's had enough of me
And I'm laying flat out on the floor
When you think I've loved you all I can
I'm gonna love you a little bit more

Got to say a few things that have been on my mind
And you know where my mind has been
I guess I learned my lessons
And now's the time to begin

So if you're feelin' alright and you're ready for me
I know that I'm ready for you
We better get it on now
`Cause we got our whole life to live through

And when your body's had enough of me
And I'm layin' flat out on the floor
When you think I've loved you all I can
I'm gonna love you a little bit more

And when your body's had enough of me
And I'm layin' flat out on the floor
When you think I've loved you all I can
I'm gonna love you a little bit more

Horizonte De Las Estrellas


Horizonte De Las Estrellas
Composer(s): E. Aldrighetti; O. Avogadro; R. Battaglia;
Miguel Bosé; Roberto Colombo; M. Schiappadori
Performer(s): Miguel Bosé



Horizonte de las estrellas
es el limite que me vuelve loco
cuantas son, como son de bellas
por mi amor yo no fui quien las ha roto

Eres tan pálida, que blanca estas
siempre radiante, en quien pensarás
como estas, como estas
como estas...

Horizonte de las estrellas
el infante ya duerme en la cuna
si pudiese ser una de ellas
le daría belleza y fortuna

Eres tan pálida, que blanca estas
tibia acuarela, espuma del mar
como estas, como estas
como estas...

Eres tan pálida, que blanca estas
eclipsadisima quien te amará
como va

soy prisionero del tiempo que va
un pasajero de la eternidad
como va como va
como va...

horizonte de las estrellas

A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You


A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You
Composer(s): Neil Diamond
First release by: The Monkees - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



Walk out, girl, don't you walk out
We've got things to say
Talk out, let's have it talked out
And things will be okay

Girl, I don't want to fight
I'm a little bit wrong, you're a little bit right
I said, girl, you know that it's true
It's a little bit me, and it's a little bit you, too

Don't know just what I said wrong
But, girl, I apologize
Don't go, here's where you belong
So wipe the tears from your eyes

Girl, I don't want to fight
I'm a little bit wrong, you're a little bit right
I said, girl, you know that it's true
It's a little bit me, and it's a little bit you, too

Oh, no
Oh, girl

Oh, girl, I don't want to fight
I'm a little bit wrong, you're a little bit right
I say, girl, you know that it's true
It's a little bit me, and it's a little bit you, too

It's a little bit me, it's a little bit you
Girl, don't go, no-no-no-no-no
Girl, don't go, no-no-no-no-no
Hey girl, hey girl
Please, don't go
Please, don't go ...

Horizontalement


Horizontalement
Composer(s): Roland Valade
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat



Verticalement
Tu n'es pas une affaire
Je sais bien
Mais horizontalement
C'est toi que je préfère
Et de loin

Je m'sens le plus triste
Des cruciverbistes
Car je suis
Derrière une grille
Seul où toi ma fille
Tu m'as mis
Pour trouver ta définition
Je n'ai pas trente-six solutions
Belle comme l'amour futée comme un balai
Tu es la source de tous mes mots croisés

Verticalement
Tu n'es pas une affaire
Je sais bien
Mais horizontalement
C'est toi que je préfère
Et de loin

Après les extases
Tu as quelques cases
Mal remplies
En libertinage
Tu as pour ton âge
Du génie
En cinq lettres sur mon journal
On demande au trois vertical
Un mal qui peut se dissiper la nuit
En pensant à toi j'ai trouvé l'ennui

Verticalement
Tu n'es pas une affaire
Je sais bien
Mais horizontalement
C'est toi que je préfère
Et de loin

Pourquoi dans nos phrases
Tous nos mots se croisent
Pleins d'aigreur
Idiots que nous sommes
Puisque la nuit gomme
Nos erreurs
Au fond de notre carrée noire
M'arrive une lueur d'espoir
Alors j'oublie ce qui m'obsède chez toi
Qui n'as pas inventé l'eau tiède crois-moi

Verticalement
Tu n'es pas une affaire
Je sais bien
Mais horizontalement
C'est toi que je préfère
Et de loin

Mais horizontalement
C'est toi que je préfère
Et de loin

Mais horizontalement
C'est toi que je préfère
Et de loin

A Little Bit Is Better Than Nada


A Little Bit Is Better Than Nada
Composer(s): Doug Sahm
Performer(s): Texas Tornados; Biff Moss



Met her in a border town
We proceeded to get down
She turned me on
I dropped the telephone

Moonlight hits the Rio Grande
And the touch of her hand
It makes me high
Like the Fourth of July

The bad bandito came into town
But man I'm gonna hunt that gringo down
But these words keep ringin' in my ear

A little bit is better than nada
Sometime you want the whole enchilada
A little bit is better than nada
A little bit or nothing at all

Said Cancun was not her style
Touristas there, they drove her wild
The border's the place
Put on a brand new face

Me and the boys are just in town
To shake 'em up and mow 'em down
I guess it was fate
I hope I wasn't too late

Bad bad boys was on our trail
Federales threw us all in jail
But these words keep ringin' in my ear

A little bit is better than nada
Sometime you want the whole enchilada
A little bit is better than nada
A little bit or nothing at all

A little bit is better than nada
Sometime you want the whole enchilada
A little bit is better than nada
A little bit or nothing at all

A little bit is better than nada
Sometime you want the whole enchilada
A little bit is better than nada
A little bit or nothing at all

A little bit is better than nada
Sometime you want the whole enchilada
A little bit is better than nada
A little bit or nothing at all

Oh, you hop a little on your little left shoe
You hop a little on your right one too
You kick a button like the Scotch kids do
That's the Hop Scotch Polka

Oh, you hop a little on your little left shoe
You hop a little on your right one too
You don't mind boucin' like a kangaroo
To the Hop Scotch Polka

It's in and out among the maple trees
It's up and down and then you wave your knees
Your head goes boppin' in the morning breeze
To the Hop Scotch Polka

Oh, you hop a little on your little left shoe
You hop a little on your right one too
You kick a button like the Scotch kids do
That's the Hop Scotch Polka

Oh, you hop a little on your little left shoe
You hop a little on your right one too
You kick a button like the Scotch kids do
That's the Hop Scotch Polka

Hop, hop, hop-pity
Hip, hip, hip-pity
Hap, hap, happily on your way

Hop, hop, hop-pity
Hip, hip, hip-pity
Hop to the Hop Scotch Polka

A Little Bit Independent


A Little Bit Independent
Composer(s): Joe Burke - Edgar Leslie
Performer(s): Fats Waller
and multiple other artists



A little bit independent in your walk
A little bit independent in your talk
There's nothing like you in Paris or New York
You're awfully easy on the eyes
A little bit independent when we dance
A little bit independent toward romance
A bit of sophistication in your glance
And yet you're easy on the eyes
Whenever I'm with you alone
You weave a magic spell
And though it be a danger zone
I only know that you're swell
A little bit independent with your smile
A little bit independent in your style
But how can I help but love you all the while
When you're so easy on the eyes

Hoppy's Gone


Hoppy's Gone
Composer(s): Larry Henley; Red Lane; Johnny Slate
Performer(s): Roger Miller



Hang it up boys
Yesterdays and dreams and matinees
Like tinker toys they fell apart today
Well almost anyway
Hoppy's gone

Bed em Down, boys
Put your cowboy boots and guns away
The broomstick horse just up and died today
And so did Saturdays
Hoppy's gone

Rock-a-bye yesterday
Winds blow and cradles will fall
And down comes the curtain
And all of a lifetime of mem'ries live on
Hoppy's gone, boys, hoppy's gone

Hang it all up boys
Yesterdays and dreams and matinees
Like tinker toys they came apart today
Best just let it lay
Hoppy's gone
Rock-a-bye yesterday
Winds will blow and cradles will fall

A Little Bit Country, A Little Bit Rock 'N Roll


A Little Bit Country, A Little Bit Rock 'N Roll
Composer(s): Marty Cooper
Performer(s): Donny Osmond



I'm a little bit country
And I'm a little bit rock 'n roll
I'm a little bit of Memphis and Nashville
With a little bit of Motown in my soul
I don't know if it's good or bad
But I know I love it so
I'm a little bit country
And I'm a little bit rock 'n roll

He's a little bit gentle, he's a little bit runnin' wild
She's a little bit of ??? woman, she's a little bit of jive
Don't know if I'm happy or sad
My music makes me whole
I'm a little bit country
And I'm a little bit rock 'n roll

I like that peaceful easy feeling of a laid back country song
And when I sing my rock n' roll, I can sing it all night long
I love my country with all my heart and soul
I go out on Saturday night for a little bit of rock 'n roll
I know if I'm fellin' right
No matter where I go
With little bit of country
And a little bit of rock 'n roll

I like that peaceful easy feeling of a laid back country song
And when I sing my rock n' roll, I can sing it all night long
I love my country with all my heart and soul
I go out on Saturday night for a little bit of rock 'n roll
I know if I'm feelin' right
No matter where I go
With little bit of country
And a little bit of rock 'n roll

We're a little bit country
We're a little bit rock 'n roll

Hop Là Nous Vivons


Hop Là Nous Vivons
Composer(s): Henri Gougaud
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat



Avec nos dents nickelées
Et nos coeurs battant la fête
L'oiseau rouge dans la tête
Les cheveux mal ficelés

Hop-là hop-là hop-là nous vivons
Hop-là hop-là hop-là nous vivons

Avec nos rires barbares
Comme des couteaux jetés
Dans le soleil qui nous fait
La peau couleur de guitare

Hop-là hop-là hop-là nous vivons
Hop-là hop-là hop-là nous vivons

Sous les buildings de Paris
On chante comme l'orage
Et la liberté fait rage
Dans nos coeurs mal équarris

Hop-là hop-là hop-là nous vivons
Hop-là hop-là hop-là nous vivons

Nous sommes quelques millions
Pour qui la vie se dévore
En rêves multicolores
À belles dents de lion

Hop-là hop-là hop-là nous vivons
Hop-là hop-là hop-là nous vivons

Nous habitons sur les routes
Qui mènent à l'amour fou
Nous marcherons jusqu'au bout
Jusqu'à en crever sans doute

Hop-là hop-là hop-là nous vivons
Hop-là hop-là hop-là nous vivons

Et nous serons tous pareils
Au bout de l'heure dernière
Nous chanterons pour nos frères
Pour un éternel soleil

Hop-là hop-là hop-là nous vivons
Hop-là hop-là hop-là nous vivons

A Little Bird Told Me


A Little Bird Told Me
Composer(s): Harvey Brooks
Performer(s): Paula Watson
and multiple other artists



A little bird told me that you love me
And I believe that you do
This little bird told me I was fallin'
Fallin' for no one but you

There's no use denying
Might as well confess
Of all the boys I know, dear
I'm sure I love you best

The little bird told me we'd be happy
And I believe that it's true
A little bird told me we'd be married
And I believe that it's true

This little bird told me when we marry
We'll have a pretty cottage
Not too far
All fenced in like a movie stars

We'll have a great dane pup
We'll call him Ace
Lying there by the fireplace
A goldfish pond and a wishing well
Everything is gonna turn out swell

A little bird told me we'd be happy
And now I know that it's true
Come June it's bound to be true

Hoping That You're Hoping


Hoping That You’re Hoping
Composer(s): Betty E. Harrison
Performer(s): The Louvin Brothers



Every minute of the day, I’m thinking ‘bout you
And without you life is just a crazy dream
Every breath I take I’m hoping that you’re hoping that I’m hoping
You’ll return to me

Can you remember, dear, when you said
If I ever stopped loving you, you’d rather be dead?
Well, dear, I don’t know what on earth changed your mind
No matter who’s holding you, your heart is still mine

Every time I think about the way you cuddled up and snuggled up
And filled me with your charm
I get dizzy in the head
And then it’s seeming that I’m dreaming
I’m locked in your loving arms

Every minute of the day, I’m thinking ‘bout you
And without you life is just a crazy dream
Every breath I take I’m hoping that you’re hoping that I’m hoping
You’ll return to me

Can you remember, dear, when you said
If I ever stopped loving you, you’d rather be dead?
Well, dear, I don’t know what on earth changed your mind
No matter who’s holding you, your heart is still mine

Every minute of the day, I’m thinking ‘bout you
And without you life is just a crazy dream
Every breath I take I’m hoping that you’re hoping that I’m hoping
You’ll return to me

Hopelessly Devoted To You


Hopelessly Devoted To You
Composer(s): John Farrar
Performer(s): Olivia Newton-John



Guess mine is not the first heart broken
my eyes are not the first to cry
I'm not the first to know
there's just no gettin' over you
Hello, I'm just a fool who's willing to sit around
and wait for you
But baby can't you see, there's nothin' else for me to do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you
But now there's nowhere to hide
since you pushed my love aside I'm not in my head
hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
hopelessly devoted to you
My head is saying "fool, forget him"
my heart is saying "don't let go"
Hold on to the end, that's what I intend to do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you
But now there's nowhere to hide
since you pushed my love aside I'm not in my head
hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
hopelessly devoted to you

A Little A' This 'N' That


A Little A' This 'N' That
Composer(s): Pete Seeger
Performer(s): Pete Seeger



My grandma, she can make a soup
with a little a' this 'n' that
She can feed the whole sloop group
with a little a' this 'n' that
Stone soup! You know the story
Stone soup! Who needs the glory?
But with grandma cooking, no need to worry
Just a little a' this 'n' that

Grandma likes to make a garden grow
with a little a' this 'n' that
But she likes to have the ground just so
with a little a' this 'n' that
Not too loose and not too firm
In the spring, the ground's all got to be turned
In the fall, lots of compost, to feed the worms
with a little a' this 'n' that

Grandma knows we can build a future
with a little a' this 'n' that
And a few arguments never ever hurt ya
with a little a' this 'n' that
True, this world's in a helluva fix
And some say oil and water don't mix
But they don't know a salad-maker's tricks
with a little a' this 'n' that

The world to come may be like a song
with a little a' this 'n' that
To make ev'rybody want to sing along
with a little a' this 'n' that
A little dissonance ain't no sin
A little skylarking to give us all a grin
Who knows but God's got a plan for the people to win
with a little a' this 'n' that

Hopeless Romantic


Hopeless Romantic
Composer(s): Billy Vera
Performer(s): Billy Vera



Sometimes on Sundays
I sit by the TV
Watching sad movies alone
When it gets to the part
Where the little dog dies
I cry
Sometimes I think
I was born just a little
Behind or ahead of my time
I live in a dream world
Of caring and sharing
And good guys and nobody lies

I'm a believer
And much more than anything
I believe in you
You're not a deceiver
And if you told me the ocean went dry
I'd believe it was true

So call me a hopeless romantic
Because I can still believe
I can still believe in true love
And hopeless romantics
Still can find a way
To make true love last these days

A Linda Song


A Linda Song
Composer(s): Enoch Anderson - Barry Manilow
Performer(s): Barry Manilow



He never wrote a song for Linda
He wrote as though he lived alone
He wrote of dreams that end
And of sad brave men
Inventing worlds he'd never known

But he never wrote a song for Linda
And she was right there all along
Loved him back to life
When his luck ran low
But he never wrote a Linda song

He nearly broke his heart at writing
Linda kept him from despair
Standing' by his side
through the hungry days
But he hardly seemed to see her there

And he never wrote a song for Linda
And she was right there all along
The one real thing in his crazy world
And he never wrote a Linda song.

When the bills piled up
He couldn't pay
He couldn't dream no more
So he hitched a ride and he rode away
And he left a note for Linda by the door
By the door

When times got rough he'd phone her
Once or twice she took the call
Then she changed her number and she turned her head
And Linda never looked back at all

He'll never write a song for Linda
And she was right there all along
All he knows is no one understands
And he never wrote a Linda song
No he never wrote a Linda song

Hope You're Feeling Better


Hope You're Feeling Better

Performer(s): Santana;
Zlatko Brodaric; Mother Earth; Vallejo



Is that you
Your eyes slowly fading?
Is that you
Your mind full of tears?
Is that you
Searching for a good time?
Is that you
Waiting for all these years?

Chorus:
And I hope you're feeling better
Yes I hope you're feeling good
Yes I hope you're feeling better

Is that you?
Look across the ocean
Is that you
Thinking nothing is really there?
Is that you
Waiting for the sunshine?
Is that you
When all you see is glare?

Chorus

Is that you
Who never saw your baby?
Is that you
Who never had a friend?
Is that you
Moving to a new town?
Is that you
Will diamonds replace your friends?

Light In The Black


Light In The Black
Composer(s): Ritchie Blackmore - Ronnie James Dio
Performer(s): Rainbow; Niji Densetsu



Can't forget his face, what a lonely place
Has he really let us go

All the time that's lost
What's the final cost, will I really get away
All my life it seems just a crazy dream

Reaching for somebody's star
Can't believe it all, did he really fall

What to do now I don't know
Something is called me back
There's a light in the black
Am I ready to go

I'm coming home breather the air before
Heard the thunder roar, never knew it was for me
Always looking down, lost and never found
Eyes that looked but not to see
All my life it seems just a crazy dream
Reaching for somebody's star
Like and open door, that you're passed before
But you've never had the key
Something's calling me back
Like a light in the black
Am I ready to go

I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm going back to my home
I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm coming back
Won't forget his face, what a lonely place
Did he really let us go

Reaching for somebody's star
Can't believe it all, did he really fall

What to do now, well, I know
Something's calling me back
Like a light in the black
Yes, I'm ready to go
I'm here to stay
Here I will stay, I'll stay, I'll stay

Hope For Happiness


Hope For Happiness
Composer(s): Kevin Ayers; Brian Hopper; Mike Ratledge
Performer(s): The Soft Machine;
and various other artists



I can tell... like the ring of a bell
A chime that is clear and true
But if a crack, the sound is flat
Like happiness... that's become untrue

Out of the East, the sun flew West
Trailing its golden spray
My heart burns, when fortune turns
The trail to light my way

Days go by, I watch the sky
My eyes forever quest
The sun returns, though my hope yearns
Forever things point the rest

Sun heart burns, moon glow turns
Stars will trade hope for happiness
Hope for happiness, happiness, happiness

Flowers grow wild, just for the child
Sniff this sprinkling bloom
When you grow up, hope colours up
The things that cause us gloom

Tell can you now how fun is made?
It's how happiness is really found
Look for advice, be told more than twice
By people all around

Sun heart burns, moon glow turns
Stars will trade hope for happiness
Hope for happiness, happiness, happiness
