Performer(s): Stonewall Jackson;
and various other artists
{Waterloo, Waterloo)
(Where will you meet your Waterloo?)
(Every puppy has its day)
(Everybody has to pay)
(Everybody has to meet his Waterloo}
Now old Adam was the first in history
With an apple he was tempted and deceived
Just for spite the Devil made him take a bite
And that's when old Adam met his Waterloo
{Waterloo, Waterloo)
(Where will you meet your Waterloo?)
(Every puppy has its day)
(Everybody has to pay)
(Everybody has to meet his Waterloo}
Little General Napoleon of France
Tried to conquer the world but lost his pants
Met defeat, known as Bonaparte's retreat
And that's where Napoleon met his Waterloo
{Waterloo, Waterloo)
(Where will you meet your Waterloo?)
(Every puppy has its day)
(Everybody has to pay)
(Everybody has to meet his Waterloo}
Now a fellah whose darling proved untrue
Took her life, but he lost his too
Now he swings where the little birdie sings
And that's where Tom Dooley met his Waterloo
{Waterloo, Waterloo)
(Where will you meet your Waterloo?)
(Every puppy has its day)
(Everybody has to pay)
(Everybody has to meet his Waterloo}

A Woman's Touch
A Woman's Touch
From the film "Calamity Jane" (1953)
Composer(s): Sammy Fain - Paul Francis Webster
Performer(s): Doris Day & Allyn McLerie
and multiple other artists
Katie:
A woman's touch
Calamity:
A woman's touch
Katie:
The magic of Aladdin couldn't do as much
Katie:
She's a wizard, she's a champ
Calamity:
And she doesn't need a lamp
Katie:
A woman's touch can weave a spell
The kind of hocus pocus that she does so well
Calamity:
With the magic of a broom
She can mesmerize a room
Katie:
With a whisk whisk here and a whisk whisk there
And a dustpan for the cinders
Calamity:
With a rub rub here and a rub rub there
She can polish up the winders
Then presto chango
Suddenly, the sun comes shining through
Katie:
And what does Mr Sunshine say to you?
Calamity:
Howdy-do!
Katie:
It makes you blink, to stop and think
Calamity:
A woman and a whisk-broom can accomplish so darn much
Both:
So never underestimate a woman's touch
Calamity:
A woman's touch can quickly fill
The empty flower boxes on a winder sill
Katie:
One smile from her and zoom
Little buds begin to bloom
Katie:
A touch of paint
Calamity:
A magic nail
Both:
Can turn a kitchen chair into a Chippendale
Calamity:
Even make the lamp appear
Like a crystal chandelier
Katie:
With a tack tack here and a tack tack there
And a hand around a hammer
With a mop mop here and a mop mop there
You can give a cabin glamour
Calamity:
Then gosh almighty, all at once
The cabin that we knew
Becomes a shining castle built for two
Both:
Me and you
Katie:
The pies and cakes a woman bakes
Can make a fella tell her
That he loves her very much
Calamity:
It can?
Both:
So never underestimate a woman's touch

A Woman Wouldn't Be A Woman
Composer(s): George Kleinsinger - Joe Darion
First release by: Eartha Kitt - 1957
Covered by: Quinn Lemley - 1996
(Woman, woman, woman)
(Woman, woman, woman)
(Woman, woman, woman)
(Woman, woman, woman)
If she didn't roll her eyes
Tease you, feed you, tell you lies
Always act contrarywise
A woman wouldn't be a woman
If she didn't take your dough
Kiss you, coax you, make you blow
Always keep you on the go
A woman wouldn't be a woman
Well, you can't live with 'em, or without 'em
You never really know a thing about 'em
It's hard to believe that all that there is
Rag and bone and a hank o' hair
If she didn't make you sigh
Make you laugh and make you cry
Taunt you till the day you die
A woman wouldn't be a woman
Well, you can't live with 'em, or without 'em
You never really know a thing about 'em
It's hard to believe that all that there is
Rag and bone and a hank o' hair
If she didn't make you sigh
Make you laugh and make you cry
Taunt you till the day you die
A woman wouldn't be a woman
(No, a woman wouldn't be a woman)
(But since the World began)
If you didn't love 'em and want more of 'em
A man wouldn't be a man

Waterdrager
Waterdrager
Composer(s): Boudewijn de Groot; Lennaert Nijgh
Performer(s): Boudewijn de Groot
De zee valt, de zee daalt en brandend rijst de zon omhoog
De bange waterdrager haalt mee water want de zee valt droog
De zee rijst, de zee stijgt en langzaam daalt de zon omlaag
De waterdrager zwoegt en denkt misschien dat hij het redt vandaag
Want de zee moet gered van de zon
Want de zee moet gered van de zon
refr.:
Waterdrager draag 't water naar de zee
Waterdrager draag 't water naar de zee
De zee kust, de zee blust en dooft de hete avondzon
De waterdrager slaapt en rust, tevreden dat hij 't halen kon
En de zee heeft gered van de zon
En de zee heeft gered van de zon
refr.
De zee vlamt, de zee brandt, de waterdrager schroeit z'n rug
De zon stijgt aan de achterkant, de waterdrager haast zich vlug
Want de zee moet gered van de zon
Want de zee moet gered van de zon
refr.
Draag 't water naar de zee
Draag 't water naar de zee
Draag 't water naar de zee

A Woman Needs Love (Just Like You Do)
Composer(s): Ray Parker Jr.
Performer(s): Ray Parker Jr. & Raydio
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Mmm-mmm-mmm
A woman needs love just like you do, hoo
Don't kid yourself into thinkin' that she don't
She can fool around just like you do, hoo
Unless you give her all the lovin' she wants
Don't the mistake of thinkin' old fashioned [Ooh, ooh]
Times have changed from yesterday
But no longer will those old double standards [Ooh, ooh]
Be accepted by the women of today
So when you think you're foolin' her
She just might be foolin' you
Remember if you can do it
She can too
Because a woman needs love just like you do, hoo
Hey, don't kid yourself into thinking that she don't
She can fool around just like you do, hoo
Unless you give her all the lovin' she wants
When her eyes are beggin' for affection [Ooh, ooh]
Don't put her off, don't make her wait
Don't try to give her that worn out excuse [Ooh, ooh]
About being tired and workin' late
I tell you one day you'll come home
Early from work [Home from work]
Open up the door
And get your feelings hurt
Because she needs it, yeah [Just like you do, hoo]
A woman's got to have it, whoa, yeah, just like you
And if you're smart, mmm, [Just like you do, hoo] you better stop foolin'around, hey, hey
`Cause she will too, oh
Just like you do, hoo
Thinking that she don't, hoo, ooh
Just like you, hoo
Now an example to you
Is by the time poor Jack
Returned up the hill
Somebody else
Had been lovin' Jill
A woman needs love just like you do, hoo
Hey, don't kid yourself into thinkin' that she don't
She can fool around [Yeah, just like you do, hoo], she will fool around so
You better take out some insurance and be sure she won't
Give her the love, mmm [Just like you do, hoo], yeah
That sweet, sweet love, she wants it just like you
`Cause she can fool around [Just like you do, hoo] just like she will fool around
With you or without you, just like you do
A woman needs love just like you do, hoo
Hey, don't kid yourself into thinking that she don't, hoo, ooh
She can fool around just like you, hoo
A woman needs it just like you

Water, Water
Water, Water
Composer(s): Lionel Bart; Michael Pratt; Tommy Steele
Performer(s): Tommy Steele
Well, it's water, water ev'rywhere
And not a drop to drink
So tell me now
Oh, what else can a poor fellow do
But sit right down and think
Think about his girl
Think about the times we had
Together, boy
On Friday we'd paint the town
But now she ain't around
There's only water, water ev'rywhere
Not a drop to drink
So tell me now
Oh, what else can a poor fellow do
But sit right down and think
Think about some tea
Even if I wanted to be
A tee-totaller
It's only the salty sea
Between the drink and me
It's drives you mad, water, water ev'rywhere
Not a drop to drink
So tell me now
Oh, what else can a poor fellow do
But sit right down and think
Think about roast beef
Think about some fish and chips
In newspaper
These galley meals are okay
But sausage ev'ry day
Is as bad as water, water ev'rywhere
Not a drop to drink
So tell me now
Oh, what else can a poor fellow do
But sit right down and think
Think about those girls
In the pin-up photographs
Huh, around your bunk
They're standing within arm's reach
And ev'ry one a peach
It's just like water, water ev'rywhere
Not a drop to drink
So tell me now
Oh, what else can a poor fellow do
But sit right down, on the deck, and think

A Woman Loves A Man
A Woman Loves A Man
Composer(s): Dan Hartman - Charlie Midnight
Performer(s): Joe Cocker
Sometimes love can't explain
Each and every rule of the game
Still remains a mystery to me
By any other name
Why she can't make up her mind
While he decides to stay
While one surrenders
And the other one's away
But it's too much to understand
Still a man loves a woman; and
When a woman loves a man
A woman loves a man
She does what she can do
He does the best he can
When a woman loves a man
A woman loves a man
She does what she can do
He does the best he can
And I look into her eyes
When the world is out of hand
And I'm so happy
When a woman loves a man
When a woman loves a man
A woman loves a man.....
A woman loves a man
No moon tonight
No nothing to guide me
Still I will find her
Standing beside me
No moon tonight
There's nothing to guide me
But still I will find her
Standing beside me
There's darkness everywhere
Still I'll find her
Standing beside me
Standing beside me
She's a woman of strength
He's a man of conviction
But sometimes the truth
Is stronger than fiction
When a woman loves a man
A woman loves a man
She does what she can do
He does the best he can
When a woman loves a man
When that woman loves a man
She does what she can do
He does the best he can
No moon tonight
No nothing to guide me
Still I will find her
Standing beside me
No moon tonight
No nothing to guide me
Still I will find her
Standing beside me
No moon tonight
Nothing to guide me
Still I will find her
Standing beside me
When a woman loves a man
A woman loves a man
She does what she can do
But I do all I can...
When a woman loves a man ...

Water Of Love
Water Of Love
Composer(s): Mark Knopfler
Performer(s): Dire Straits;
and various other artists
High and dry in the long hot day
Lost and lonely in every way
Got the flats all around me sky up above
I need a little water of love
I've been too long lonely and my heart feels pain
Crying out for some soothing rain
I believe I have taken enough
I need a little water of love
Water of love deep in the ground
No water here to be found
Some day baby when the river runs free
It'll carry that water of love to me
There's a bird up in a tree sitting up high
Waiting for me to die
If I don't get some water soon
I'll be dead and gone in the afternoon
Once I had a woman I could call my own
Once I had a woman now my woman is gone
Once there was a river now there's a stone
You know it's evil when you're living alone

A Woman Is A Sometime Thing
Composer(s): Ira Gershwin - DuBose Heyward - George Gershwin
First performance: Eddie Matthews - 1935
Covered by multiple other artists
Listen to yo’ daddy warn you
‘Fore you start a-traveling
Woman may born you, love you and mourn you
But a woman is a sometime thing
Yes a woman is a sometime thing
Yo’ mammy is the first to name you
Then she’ll tie you to her apron string
Then she’ll shame you and she’ll blame you
Till yo’ woman comes to claim you
‘Cause a woman is a sometime thing
Yes a woman is a sometime thing
Don’t you never let a woman grieve you
Jus’ ‘cause she got yo’ weddin’ ring
She’ll love you and deceive you
Then she’ll take yo’ clothes and leave you
“cause a woman is a sometime thing
Yes a woman is a sometime thing

Water Lou
Water Lou
Composer(s): Del Porter
Performer(s): Spike Jones
Drip! Drip! Drip! (Achoo)
Water Lou, she lives up the river
Water Lou, she makes my heart quiver
A pearl diver's daughter
And she's nuts about the water
Water Lou, drip, drip, drip
Water Lou, she swims all the channels
Water Lou, she swims in red flannels
She dives like an otter
Takes to water like a blotter
Water Lou, drip, drip, drip
I paddle up to see her every Sunday mornin'
In my old canoe
And when I paddle home again on Sunday evenin'
I know I've met my Waterloo
Water Lou, she lives with the fishes
Water Lou, her kiss is delicious
I love her with passion
But she's always busy splashin'
Waterloo, drip, drip, drip
I paddle up to see her every Sunday mornin'
In my old canoe
And when I paddle back again on Sunday evenin'
I know I've met my Waterloo
Oh Water Lou, she drinks only water
Water Lou, that other stuff got `er
Her knees started saggin'
Now she's on the water wagon
Water Lou, drip, drip, drip
Drip! Drip! Drip! (Achoo)

A Woman In Love
A Woman In Love
Composer(s): Frank Loesser
Performer(s): The Four Aces
Your eyes are the eyes of a woman in love
And oh, how they give you away
Why try to deny you're a woman in love
When I know very well what I say
I say no moon in the sky
Ever lent such a glow
some flame deep within made them shine
Those eyes are the eyes of a woman in love
And may they gaze ever more into mine
Crazily gaze ever more into mine

Water From A Stone
Water From A Stone
Performer(s): Jack Casady
Fooling the horizon
By learning how to dance
Outside every circle
'Cause it's your life
Learn to take a chance
Ah-ah
Squeezing water from a stone
Ah-ah
Any path can lead you home
Ah-ah
Any bridge can get you high
Ah-ah
All my love will keep you dry
Squeezing water from a stone
Making love at midnight
With tears as large as rain
Hiding under covers
Lonely as the cold
Staring down your main

Woman In Love (10 cc)
Woman In Love
Composer(s): Graham Gouldman - Eric Stewart
Performer(s): 10 cc
I don't know why it's the way of the world
(I don't know why it's the way of the world)
But meanwhile, meanwhile, meanwhile, meanwhile…
You've seen her sway when she walks down the street
Look at her eyes, see the glow in her cheeks
It ain't no secret, she can't hide it away
There's someone special, she's the dish of the day
She's a woman in love
She's a woman in her prime (She's a woman in love)
Look at her face it's a picture
She's a woman in love
She's a woman
This chemistry, you'll never find in a book
No ectochrome's gonna capture this look
These mixed emo's make your senses to real
You've got to be there to feel what she feels
She's a woman in love
She's a woman in her prime (She's a woman in love)
Look at her face it's a picture
She's a woman in love
She's a woman
Why should a woman in all innocence be the one to inspire looks that kill?
I don't know
I don't know why it's the way of the world
Some will win, some will lose but she can't tell
This kind of beauty comes from within
Shouldn't be allowed, yeah it's really a sin
You'd sell your soul for a night in her bed
You're far too late boy, I've already said
She's a woman in love
She's a woman in her prime (She's a woman in love)
Look at her face it's a picture
She's a woman in love
She's a woman
She’s a woman in love
Look at her face it's a picture
She's a woman in love
She's a woman
She’s a woman in love
Look at her face it's a picture
She's a woman in love
This one is mine

Composer(s): Andrew Kastner - Larry John McNally
Performer(s): Chaka Khan; Tina Turner
It's a losing game I play
In a dog eat dog, show biz town
I've got a dream of my own
And I carry my own weight
But still they try to drag me down
I'm a woman in a man's world
I'm a woman in a man's world
So I'm fool enough to say
That a woman's place is in the home
Working twice as hard
For the same reward as any man, yeah
I'm a woman in a man's world
I'm a woman in a man's world
For my very own
It'll make me strong if I don't give in
'Cause the harder the fight
Oh, the sweeter the prize I'm sure to win

Performer(s): Lynsey de Paul
Water falling off of my back
And I don't recall it there
Water from the zodiac
Mixing fire earth and air
It doesn't matter what sign you are
Just as long as you can be free
Sticks and stones may break my bones
And harsh words come between us
I can keep my head up
While you're drowning in your...
Water falling off of my back
And I don't recall it there
Water from the zodiac
Mixing fire earth and air
I took myself down to a gypsy queen
I took a look into her crystal ball
Time and tide may wait for no-one
But I'm in no hurry
One, two, three and you and me
And everyone that you can see is...
Water falling off of my back
And I don't recall it there
Water from the zodiac
Mixing fire earth and air
Woah woah woah water

A Woman Has Wrecked Many A Good Man
Composer(s): Carrie Rodgers - Ernest Tubb
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
Did you ever wakeup on a Sunday morn
With the blues all around your bed
I bet you have, yes and I have too
Lord you’d have an achin’ head
Your friends would come around and give advice
And then you’d have to stall
But if your bottle was insight
Lord they wouldn’t leave you none at all
Do you hear me Brother?
They wouldn’t leave you none at all
I’ll tell you brother and I won’t lie
What’s the matter in this land
There’s too many women just like old Eve
They’ll fool you if they can
They’ll make you love them and then break your heart
Mess up all of your plans
A Woman
Lord has ruined many a good man
I said it brother
Lord has ruined many a good man
Now mister bartender don’t be so slow
Cause I need another drink
And after all this is my dough
And you ain’t getting’ paid to think
So wipe that frown from off your face
And please try to understand
That a Woman
Lord has ruined many a good man
I said it brother
Lord has ruined many a good man
So as you travel though this life
What ever be your goal
This old world is full of grief and strife
And all that glitters sure ain’t gold
So if you’ve got a loving gal
Brother, keep her if you can
But a Woman
Lord has ruined many a good man
I’m glad I said it
Lord has ruined many a good man
