What Does A Woman See In A Man?
What Does A Woman See In A Man?
Composer(s): Jimmy Webb
Performer(s): Jimmy Webb
He stinks to high heaven, half covered with hair
And grunts just like some old orang-utan
While she smells of clean skin and a trace of jasmine
And speaks like a first rate librarian
His stomach hangs out, there's a hump on his back
He eats like Conan the Barbarian
While she keeps herself trim, and her posture is prim
Her manners are quite cosmopolitan
He laughs like a donkey and farts in the bed
And flips cigarettes in the can
But she always acts nice, with no visible vice
Tell me, what does a woman see in a man?
He hangs out in bars and he tells stupid jokes
And seems to think he's a comedian
But she's clever, polite, stays sober all night
And sips on her one Presbyterian
He drives a gas hog like Attila the Hun
And woe to the luckless pedestrian
While she prefers bikes and bird-watching hikes
And sailing and riding equestrian
He has a name like Duane or Leroy
Hers is Vanessa or Anne
Hers sounds like a song
But Duane is all wrong
Tell me, what does a woman see in a man?
Doesn't she know that she's unique
Doesn't she know that he's just a freak -- of nature
Overbearing, insecure, wanting love but so unsure
Loving her because she's pure
And yet, dreaming of orgies in Vegas or Cannes
He preens and strikes poses Olympian
While she shoulders the cross
And lets him play boss
His nurse and long-suffering Samaritan
He brags about knocking the world on its ass
But oh, when the shit hits the fan
She'll bail him out, she's the one with the clout
Only she knows how humankind ever began
What does a woman see in a man?
What does a woman see in a man?

Affair Of The Heart
Affair Of The Heart
Composer(s): Rick Springfield - Blaise Tosti - Danny Tate
Performer(s): Rick Springfield
Heart in my mouth pluse in my head
Mercury rising into the red
The smell of your skin can light up all the fire in me
I'm hungry to touch I'm eager to please
Out of control and I hand you the keys
Every night I am burning to make love to you
But don't try to tell me you think it's all physical
It goes much deeper than that
You ought to know it's an affair of the heart
It's an affair of the heart
It's an affair of the heart
Have a little blind faith believe
It's an affair of the heart
When we make love it's a passionate thing
You shudder and shake sink your teeth in my skin
I almost believe you were made to be played by my hands
And you got the power it amazes me still
How you play my emotions with consummate skill
I don't have to look any further than into your eyes
So don't try to tell me you think it's just physical
It goes way deeper than that
You better know it's an affair of the heart
It's an affair of the heart
It's an affair of the heart
Have a little blind faith believe
It's an affair of the heart
Don't try to tell me you think it's all physical
It goes much deeper than that
You ought to know it's an affair of the heart
It's an affair of the heart
It's an affair of the heart
It's an affair of the heart
You better know it's an affair of the heart
It's an affair of the heart
You better know it's an affair of the heart
It's an affair of the heart
Baby an affair of the heart
It's an affair of the heart

What Do You Want With Me?
What Do You Want With Me?
Composer(s): Chad Stuart; Jeremy Clyde
Performer(s): Chad & Jeremy
What do you want with me
Oh baby can't you see
My love and I were happy
Before you came along
And it'll stay that way
'cause I won't let her down
I love her, can't you see
What do you want with me
What do you want with me
Oh baby I can't see
You only wanna break us up
And use me for a time
Then you'll leave me cryin'
I've heard it all before
Your other boys have told me
What do you want with me
A love like ours
Is somethin' else again
She's lovin', she's true
Let me tell you she's not a bit like you
And I'm askin' you a question
What do you want with me
Why don't you let me be
I know it would be easy
To fool around with you
But you should know by now
I've promised to be true
I love her, can't you see
What do you want with me
A love like ours
Is somethin' else again
She's lovin', she's true
Let me tell you she's not a bit like you
And I'm askin' you a question
What do you want with me
Why don't you let me be
I know it would be easy
To fool around with you
But you should know by now
I've promised to be true
I love her, can't you see
What do you want with me
I love her, can't you see
What do you want with me

Aéroplanes
Aéroplanes
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg; Readymade
Marilou se fait des aéroplanes
En repliant des dépliants d'agences de voyages genre Cook
Où l'on peut voir des pin-up à gros seins new-look
Sur fond d'azur de Louisiane
Elle est marrante c'est une fan
Du cap'tain Cook
Elle a sur lui tout un press-book
Aussi sur Tarzan dont elle est folle comme Jane
Je la vois assez l'enlacer et lui de liane en liane
Pousser son cri en volapük
Du coté de Pamanbuk
Et moi Chita le singe qui leur cavale au cul dans la savane
Pauvre idiote tu rêves tu planes
Me traite de fauché de plouc
De minable d'abominable bouc
Qu'importe injures un jour se dissiperont comme volute Gitane

What do ya wanna make those eyes at me for

Aerolitos
Aerolitos
Performer(s): Pablo Guerrero
Algo te dice ven a éste tiempo nuevo
siempre surge una antigua forma de mirar
Un ritmo que te empuje hasta vibrar unido
a éste hermoso planeta que como tú respira
Con maestros y sin líderes
aerolitos
como aerolitos libres
Por el espacio sin límites
aerolitos
como aerolitos libres
Canto a la gente que se siente cerca
Conozco triunfadores que se saben perdidos
Aprendo del humilde que sin quererlo habla
con la sabiduría antigua de las cosas
Con maestros y sin líderes
aerolitos
como aerolitos libres
Por el espacio sin límites
aerolitos
como aerolitos libres
Algo te dice ven a este tiempo nuevo
Son falsas todas las encrucijadas
El mundo cada día llama recién nacido
y te busca a través de la luz y el sentimiento
Con maestros y sin líderes
aerolitos
como aerolitos libres
Por el espacio sin límites
aerolitos
como aerolitos libres

What do you want if you don't want gold

What Do You Mean By Loving Someone Else (When Your Love Belongs To Me)
What Do You Mean By Loving Someone Else
(When Your Love Belongs To Me)
Composer(s): Sidney D. Mitchell; Archie Gottler
I've been worried all day long
'Cause I know there's something wrong
Tho' I've tried hard to smile
I have known all the while
You're not as true as I've been to you
But before I let you go
Here's one thing I'd like to know
Every time I look at you
I don't know just what to do
I can tell by your eyes are telling me lies
you'll go away and leave me someday
But before we say farewell
There's a thing you'll have to tell
What do you mean by loving somebody else
When your love belongs to me?
I found you when your kisses didn't have the taste
But now they've got the flavor, must they go to waste?
What do you mean by teaching somebody else
All the things you learned from me?
Just because I taught you how to roll your eyes
You don't have to run around and advertise
What do you mean by loving somebody else
When your love belongs to me?

Aeneas Nu
Aeneas Nu
Composer(s): Boudewijn de Groot
Performer(s): Boudewijn de Groot
Er was geen eind en geen begin, toen Aeneas werd geboren
En nu ik aan 't zoeken ben, slaan de klokken in de toren
Het verhaal, voor wie 't wil horen, van een eindeloze reis
Een man veegt scherven bij elkaar en metselt zerken in de grond
Ik wandel door dit doodsgevaar, omdat ons huis hier vroeger stond
Maar ik ben vreemd en ongezond op een eindeloze reis
Ik kom misschien aan een station, door schele bedelaars verwacht
De laatste trein ontmoet de zon, de avond valt angstwekkend zacht
En ik ben vreemd en zonder kracht op een eindeloze reis
En als ik vraag waar ik nu ben, staren mensen achter kragen
Daar bestraat ver weg van hen, niemand antwoordt op mijn vragen
Want ik ben vreemd en al vele dagen op een eindeloze reis
En als iemand mij verwacht, kom ik terug en dan zal blijken
Het was nooit zoals ik dacht en het zal er nooit op lijken
Het is vreemd om neer te strijken na een eindeloze reis

What Do People Do
What Do People Do
Composer(s): Jim Croce; Ingrid Croce
Performer(s): Jim Croce
Tell me, what do people do
When there ain't nothin' to do?
When there's nobody else around to do
Nothin' with or to
Have you ever been in that position in a small town motel room
Where the diners all close at nine
And the trucks keep a rollin' by
And you just can't get to sleep
Even though there's nothin' on your mind?
Tell me what do people say
When there ain't nothin' to say?
When there's nobody else around to help you pass the time of day
Have you ever stared at the ceiling
Till you thought you'd lose your mind
Looked for a wall that you could climb
Still you just can't get to sleep
Even tho' there's nothin' on your mind?
Have you ever been stuck in a small town motel
Lookin' all around but there ain't nothin' to see
In a never endin' mind bendin', troublin' position
Sayin' why did it happen to me?
Tell me, what do people do
When there ain't nothin' to do?
When there's nobody else around to do
Nothin' with or to
Have you ever been in that position in a small town motel room
Where the diners all close at nine
And the trucks keep a rollin' by
And you just can't get to sleep
Even though there's nothin' on your mind?
Tell me, what do people do
When there ain't nothin' to do?
When there's nobody else around to do
Nothin' with or to
Hope you never in that position in a small town motel room
Where the diners all close at nine
And the trucks keep a rollin' by
Till you just can't get to sleep
Even though there's nothin' on your mind?

Adventures In Paradise
Adventures In Paradise
Composer(s): Minnie Riperton - Richard Rudolph - Joe Sample
Performer(s): Minnie Riperton; Tuck & Patti
I believe any dream that I want to
That ain't the only way of keeping hope alive
And if by chance I give birth to my visions
Life is so fantastic it will come as no surprise
'Cause everyday is adventures in paradise
Woven well through the fabrics of time
I believe I am free, let it free me
That ain't the only way of getting past the jive
And every day something magical passes
Sunshine on my body, rainbows bloomin' in the sky
'Cause everyday is adventures in paradise
It is real if it's only in your mind
In your mind
It is real if it's only in your mind
In your mind
Step this way for another Adventure in P a r a d i s e

What Do I Have To Do To Get My Picture Took?
What Do I Have To Do To Get My Picture Took?
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Mary McCarty, Eddie Albert & Allyn McLerie
I'd like my picture took
What do I have to do to get my picture took?
Who do I have to be to get my picture took with you?
I'd like to spark with you
Having a plate develop in the dark with you
Nothing I wouldn't do to get my picture took with you
Me sittin' down, you standin' up
Lookin' at the birdie will be fun
Hands in my lap, yours on your chest
Just like Napoleon
And someday we'll take a look
Into a family album or a memory book
'Stead of a boring evening, we'll be laughing at
The picture that I took with you

Adult Education
Adult Education
Composer(s): Sara Allen - Daryl Hall - John Oates
Performer(s): Hall & Oates; David Ruffin
Afternoon in the homeroom
They're about to let you go
And the locker slams
On the plan you had tonight
You've been messin around with a boyfriend
Maybe better left alone
There's a wise guy that you know
Could put you right
In the lot the boy that's idling by
doesn't rev your heart
Cause it's only lonely spots
He shares with you
And long halls and the gray walls
Are gonna split apart
Believe it or not
There's life after high school
And that's why the student body got
A bad reputation oh yeah, oh yeah
What they need is adult education
Back to school it's a bad situation
Oh yeah, oh yeah
But what you want is an adult education
The teacher don't know about how
To deal with the student body huh, huh
And the underclassmen are
Flashing hot and cool huh huh
All your girlfriends care about
Watch and wear and talkin about it huh huh
Believe it or not
There's life after high school
And that's why the student body got
A bad reputation oh yeah, oh yeah
What they need is adult education
Back to school it's a bad situation
Oh yeah, oh yeah
But what you want is an adult education
They're calling it preparation
You're waiting for a separation
You're nothing but another odd number
Memories that you won't remember
So you got a little education
And a lot of dedication
But you want a little night school
Maybe some of it'll rub off on you
The boys are busy in the mirrors
Trying to imitate their heroes
You make it with a false surrender
More memories you won't remember
The senior with the Junior Miss
I wonder what the junior wishes
That she could graduate to adult
That she could graduate to adult kisses
Adult education
Adult education
Adult education
It's a bad situation
Adult education

Composer(s): Clare; Woods
Performer(s): Annette Hanshaw
Somebody said, "Oh, oh, oh
Take a look at that baby"
Somebody said, "Ah-ah-ah
Why, how do you do"
Somebody said, "Gee, but she
Is sure a wonderful baby!
What beautiful eyes and hair and lips
Too good to be true"
Somebody said, "Well, well, well,
She's a little bit silly"
Somebody said, "Sure,
Nothin' up in her head"
But when they rave, I just hee-hee
'Cause I know she's in love with me
So what do I care
What somebody says

What Could Be Nicer (Mum The Kettle's Boiling)
Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
Mum, the kettle's boiling
Daddy what's the time
Sis, look what you're doing
Can't you see the baby's crying
Tell your Uncle Tony
Helen wants to know
Did he get the letter
That she sent a week ago
All in all what could be nicer
Than two people young at heart
Looking forward to the future
That together they will start
When you think of all those people
Who are left out in the cold
All because they never dreamed
That they'd be written off as old
Mum, the kettle's boiling
Dad, 'ere what's the time
Sis, look what you're doing
Can't you see the baby's crying
Can't you see the baby's crying

Adrian
Composer(s): Annie Lennox - David A. Stewart
Performer(s): Eurythmics
Adrian - don't you understand?
Fools like us are always dreaming
And when you go to bed
And cover up your head
It's better if you try to stop remembering
And the world is slowly dawning
To wake up to a new clear morning
Some of them just half your age
Get written off, page by page...
Adrian don't you understand?
Fools like us are always dreaming
And when you go to bed
And cover up your head
It's better if you try to stop remembering
Some of them just half your age
Get written off page by page...
And the world is softly sleeping
While your fears are in their keeping
All the planet's making haste
To blow to bits in outer space...
Adrian - don't you understand?
