I ain't lookin' to compete with you
Beat or cheat or mistreat you
Simplify you, classify you
Deny, defy or crucify you
All I really want to do
Is, baby, be friends with you

No, and I ain't lookin' to fight with you
Frighten you or tighten you
Drag you down or drain you down
Chain you down or bring you down
All I really want to do
Is, baby, be friends with you

I ain't lookin' to block you up
Shock or knock or lock you up
Analyze you, categorize you
Finalize you or advertise you
All I really want to do
Is, baby, be friends with you

I don't want to straight-face you
Race or chase you, track or trace you
Or disgrace you or displace you
Or define you or confine you
All I really want to do
Is, baby, be friends with you

I don't want to meet your kin
Make you spin or do you in
Or select you or dissect you
Or inspect you or reject you
All I really want to do
Is, baby, be friends with you

I don't want to fake you out
Take or shake or forsake you out
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me
See like me or be like me
All I really want to do
Is, baby, be friends with you

Ce Que Je Veux Surtout

Je n'veux pas m'amuser de toi
Te traiter, te maltraiter
Te simplifier, te classifier
Te renier ou bien te crucifier

Je veux, je veux surtout
Etre ton ami, c'est tout

Je n'veux pas me battre avec toi
Essayer de t'effrayer
T'enfermer, te renfermer
T'enchaîner ou bien te déchaîner

Je veux, je veux surtout
Etre ton ami, c'est tout

Je n'veux pas exiger de toi
De courir, de discourir
De chanter, de déchanter
De danser ou de balancer

Je veux, je veux surtout
Etre ton ami, c'est tout

Je n'veux pas demander ta main
T'enlacer ou t'embrasser
Te fesser ou te confesser
Te gifler ou bien te griffer

Je veux, je veux surtout
Etre ton ami, c'est tout

Je n'veux pas t'illusionner
Te jurer, te parjurer
Te donner, t'abandonner
Te tromper et puis te détromper

Je veux, je veux surtout
Etre ton ami, c'est tout

La la la...

Whoever's In New England


Whoever's In New England
Composer(s): Kendal Franceschi; Quentin Powers
Performer(s): Reba McEntire;
Di Scherling; Mark Thornton



You spend an awful lot of time in Massachusetts
Seems Like every other week you've got a meeting waiting there
Business must be booming or could something else
Be moving in the air up there

You say that its important for our future
An executive on his way up has got to play the part
Each time duty calls you got to give it all
You've got with all your heart

When whoever's in New England is through with you
And Boston finds better things to do
You know its not too late 'cause you'll always have a place to go
When whoever's in New Englands through with you

I hear the winter time up north can last forever
Ive been told its beautiful to see this time of year
They say the snow can blind you till the world you left behind
Just disappears I hear

I packed your bags and left them in the hallway
But before you leave again theres just one thing you outta know
When the icy winds blow through you remember that its me
Who feels the cold most of all

When whoever's in New England is through with you
And Boston finds better things to do
You know its not too late 'cause you'll always have a place to go
When whoever's in New Englands through with you

All I Really Need Is You


All I Really Need Is You
Composer(s): Neil Diamond - Tom Hensley - Alan Lindgren
Performer(s): Neil Diamond



After all these years
After all these tears between us
Still I couldn't find
Someone half as right as you
And each time I stop to think
What it is I really need
Here's what I conclude
All I really need is you

Just say what you want to say
You don't have a chance in the world
Can I, knowing how I've tried
Still come close to losing you, girl
When you are my world
Have I spent so many years
Trying but in vain to tell you
Don't you know it's true
All I really need is you

How was I to know
We'd have ended here
Where we finally did
You tied you life to mine
Once upon a starry night
And when someone asks of me
What it is that I believe
Say, I believe it's true
All I really need is you

Just say what you want to say
We don't have a chance in the world
Can I, knowin' how I've tried
Still come close to losing you, girl
When you are my world

Have I spent so many years
Tryin' but in vain to tell you
Feelings come and go
Me, I'm never gonna ever let you go
Promise you I'm gonna always love you so
'Cause all I really need is you

Whoever Finds This, I Love You


Whoever Finds This, I Love You
Composer(s): Mac Davis
Performer(s): Mac Davis;
Anthony Armstrong Jones; Patti Page



On the quiet street in the city
A little old man walked alone
Shuffling through the autumn afternoon
And the autumn leaves reminded him
Another summer's come and gone
He had long lonely nights ahead waiting for June

Then among the leaves near an orphan's home
A piece of paper caught his eyes
And he stooped to pick it up with trembling hands
As he read the childish writing
The old man began to cry
'Cause the words burned inside him like a brand

"Whoever finds this, I love you
Whoever finds this, I need you
I ain't even got no one to talk to
So, whoever finds this, I love you!"

Well, the old man's eyes searched the orphan's home
And came to rest upon a child
With her nose pressed up against the window pane
And the old man knew he'd found a friend at last
So he waved at her and smiled
And they both knew they'd spend the winter
Laughing at the rain

And they did spend the winter laughing at the rain
Talking through the fence
Exchanging little gifts they've made for each other
The old man would carve toys
And the little girl would draw pictures of beautiful ladies for him
And they laughed a lot

But then one day on the first of June
The little girl ran to the fence... the old man wasn't there
And, somehow she knew he was never coming back
So she went back to her little room
took a crayon, And wrote

"Whoever finds this, I love you
Whoever finds this, I need you
I ain't even got no one to talk to
So, whoever finds this, I love you!

All I Needed Was The Rain


All I Needed Was The Rain
From the film "Stay Away, Joe" (1968)
Composer(s): Ben Weisman - Sid Wayne
Performer(s): Elvis Presley; Jennie Duff



Hello misfortune
How's my old friend Mister Misery?
I've been away so long
I bet you thought you'd seen the last of me
Got no bed, to rest my head
No doors or walls or window pane
Now all I needed was the rain
Rain, rain, rain, rain

Met a little honey at the "Buzzin' Bumble Bee Cafe"
Yes I did
One drink and all my money
And that honey bee had flown away
I'm 'bout as low, as I can go
I don't really mean to complain
Now all I needed was the rain
Rain, rain...rain..rain

All I needed was this rain...
All I needed was the rain...um..um.....

All I Need To Know


All I Need To Know
Composer(s): Lou Gramm - Mick Jones
Performer(s): Foreigner



So I walk another mile down this crooked road
Clouds rolling in lord it’s getting cold
Feeling fine, feel lost, feeling blue tonight
But my only friend is mr. moonlight
Then I see you girl lost in your book of poems
You’re in another world,
I should leave you alone
My heart races on I try and hold it back
But like a runaway train I’m about to jump the tracks

Now you say you need a friend
I swear to you if that’s what you need
That’s what I’ll be
But I hope this never ends
I feel there’s something more the way
You look at me

And that’s all I need to know
I won’t question why don’t need a reason
We can take our time we can take it real slow
When I see it in your eyes
That’s all I need to know

Now we’re talking ’bout angels that have lost their wings
This melancholy world and the nature of things
But them there’s only silence when your eyes meet mine
Sends a shiver to my soul runs deeper than time

Reciting from your black book you were like some wounded bird
I tried to catch your heart as it fell between your words
You tore out one page and let it blow away
Then you disappeared into your world
It’s a place I just can’t stay

You say you need a friend
I swear to you if that’s what you need
That’s what I’ll be
But I hope this never ends
I feel there’s something more the way
You look at me

And that’s all I need to know
I won’t question why don’t need a reason
We can take our time we can take it real slow
When I see it in your eyes
That’s all I need to know

All I need to know
I won’t question why don’t need a reason
We can take our time we can take it real slow
But it’s right here in my heart
That’s all I need to know

That’s all I need to know
I won’t question why don’t need a reason
We can take our time we can take it real slow
When I see it in your eyes
That’s all I need to know

All I need to know
I won’t question why don’t need a reason
We can take our time we can take it real slow
But it’s right here in my heart
That’s all I need to know

That’s all I need to know
That’s all I need to know
That’s all I need to know
All I need to know

Whoa, Sailor


Whoa, Sailor
Composer(s): Hank Thompson; Walt McCoy
Performer(s): Hank Thompson; - 1949
The Maddox Brothers & Rose



I'll tell you 'bout my night on shore if you will lend an ear
I stepped into a cabaret to get myself a beer
A pretty girl sat all alone and needed company
But when I got close, this girl arose, this is what she said to me
Now she said, "Whoa, sailor, be careful what you do
In your eye there's a gleam and to me it seems your just like all the rest
With a wolfish eye and a line that's sly, then a sailor's at his best"

Now look here, babe, you've got me wrong, I'm not that kinda guy
Why, I just got back from across the seas where there are no girls arie
Now let me talk to you a while, I'm sure you'll see my way
But when I went to spout she turned about, this is what she had to say
Now she said, "Whoa, sailor, I've heard that line before
You'll look into my eyes and tell me lies and tales of the seven seas
But a sailor's full of that kinda bull, so don't hand it to me"

Oh, pretty girl you've let me down you've broken my poor heart
And oh, how it hurt when you had to spout that last sad remark
I said I think I'll have a drink and I broke out six month's pay
With wide open eyes she breathed a sigh, this time she had to say
Now she said, "Whoa, sailor, I think you've won my heart"
Well, she was right neat and she sure was sweet, but I knew she was that sort
But she's not all to blame 'cause it's a sailor's aim to have a girl in every port

I don't need a million dollars
To make my dreams come true
Baby, all I need is you

I don't need a fortune teller
To tell my troubles to
Baby, all I need is you

Don't need the sun, don't need the stars
For at last I realise
I found the sun, I found the stars
Shining in your eyes

I'm right at the gates of heaven
And I could walk right through
Baby, all I need is you

Baby, all I need is you

Who Wouldn't Love You


Who Wouldn't Love You
Composer(s): Carl Fischer; Bill Carey
Performer(s): Faron Young;
and various other artists



(Love you love you love you love you do do do do)

Who wouldn't love you who wouldn't care
You're so enchanting people must stare
You're the dream that dreamers want to dream about
You're the breath of spring that lovers gad about or mad about
Who wouldn't love you who wouldn't buy
The west side of heaven if you winked your eye
You're the answer to my every prayer darling
Who wouldn't love you who wouldn't care

(You're the dream that dreamers want to dream about
You're the breath of spring that lovers gad about or mad about)

(You're the answer to my every prayer darling
Who wouldn't love you who wouldn't care)

Who wouldn't love you who wouldn't care...
Who wouldn't love you who wouldn't care

All I Need Is Time


All I Need Is Time
Composer(s): Bud Reneau
Performer(s): Gladys Knight & the Pips
and multiple other artists



All I need is time, then I'll get over you
A little at a time, a bit each day
All I need is time to mend a dream or two
Then I'll forget the love you took away

Morning's here again, just like the day before
But the only change is that I love you more
All I need is time, maybe a thousand years
Maybe a million tears, but I need time

Everybody says the pain won't last too long
Have a lot of fun and time will fly
It took a lot of time till love was born in me
And it'll take some time for love to die

Each and every day I spend forgetting you
Brings another night I never quite get through
All I need is time, maybe a thousand years
Maybe a million tears, but I need time

Who Would True Valour See


Who Would True Valour See
Composer(s): John Bunyan
Performer(s): Maddy Prior



Who would true valour see
Let him come hither
One here will constant be
Come wind, come weather
There's no discouragement
Shall make him once relent
His first avowed intent to be a pilgrim

Whoso beset him 'round
With dismal stories
Who but themselves confound
His strength the more is
No lion can him fright
He'll with a giant fight
But he will have a right to be a pilgrim.

Hobgoblin nor foul fiend
Can daunt his spirit
He knows he at the end
Shall life inherit
Then fancies flee away
He'll fear not what men say
He'll labour night and day to be a pilgrim

Who would true valour see
Let him come hither
One here will constant be
Come wind, come weather
There's no discouragement
Shall make him once relent
His first avowed intent to be a pilgrim

All I Need Is The Girl


All I Need Is The Girl
Composer(s): Jule Styne - Stephen Sondheim
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and multiple other artists



Got my tweed pressed, got my best vest, all I need now is the girl
Got my striped tie, got my hopes high
Got the time and the place and I got the rhythm
Now all I need's the girl to go with'em

If she'll just appear we'll take this big town for a whirl
And if she'll say "My, darling, I'm yours"
I'll throw away my striped tie and my best-pressed tweed
All I really need is the girl

Got my tweed pressed, I got my best vest, all I need now is the girl
Got my striped tie, got my hopes way up high
I got the time and the place and the rhythm
All I need's the girl to go with'em

Mm, if she'll just appear we'll take this, this great big town for a whirl
And if, if she'll say "My, darlin', I'm yours"
I'll throw away my striped tie and my best-pressed tweed
All I real, really need is the girl

All I need is the girl

Who Will Sing For Me?


Who Will Sing For Me?
Composer(s): J.T. Ely
Performer(s): The Stanley Brothers;
and various other artists



Oft I sing for my friends
As death's cold form I see
When I reach my journey's end
Who will sing for me?

I wonder who will sing for me?
When I come to cross the silent sea
Who will sing for me?

When friends gather round
And look down on me
Will they turn and walk away
Or will they sing for me?

So I'll sing until the end
And cheerful try to be
Assured that some friend
Will sing one song for me

All I Need (The Temptations)


All I Need
Composer(s): R. Dean Taylor
Performer(s): The Temptations



(Won't you believe, my darlin'?)
Oh this heart of mine carries a heavy load
When I think about how I've hurt you so
After you've been, been so good to me
I've been unfaithful, darlin', I've caused you misery
I feel the guilt, how it tortures me
And only you, my darlin', oh can set me free

And darlin', all, all I need is just to hear you say
You'll forgive me, forgive me baby
All, all I need, to have you touch my hand
Say you'll understand

A moment of weakness, darlin', caused me to stray
Your trust in me, dear, I threw away
When I look, look into your eyes
I can see the hurt, baby, that you feel inside
Although I hurt you, baby, you never once complained
It makes me feel that much more ashamed
Tears of guilt, tears of guilt run down my face
Tears that only you, baby, only you can erase

And darlin', all, all I need is just to hear you say
You'll forgive me, forgive me baby
All, all I need, to have you touch my hand
Say you'll understand

(Won't you believe, my darlin'?)
I know I made a big mistake
When all your love, darlin', yes I did forsake
It's on my mind, it's in my heart
I get the feelin' tearin' me apart
Every step I make, every breath I take
I'll make it up to you, I'll make it up to you
Undo the wrong I've done, undo the wrong I've done
I've been unfaithful, I know it's true
But I'll make it up to you

And darlin', all, all I need is just to hear you say
You'll forgive me, forgive me baby
All, all I need, to have you touch my hand
Say you'll understand ...

Who Will Buy The Wine?


Who Will Buy The Wine?
Composer(s): Billy Mize
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb;
and various other artists



Not long ago you held our baby’s bottle
But the one you’re holding now’s a different kind
You just sit and wait to be somebody’s baby
And it all depends on Who Will Buy The Wine

Who ever sets them up and tips the waitress
Will be the one to share the love that’s mine
You’d never know whose lips you’d soon be kissing
And it all depends on Who Will Buy The Wine

The kind of life your living since you left me
I’m sure it’s not the life you thought you chose
That Honky Tonky world is not so flashy
Bright lights and booze is all it really knows

Who ever sets them up and tips the waitress
Will be the one to share the love that’s mine
You’d never know whose lips you’d soon be kissing
And it all depends on Who Will Buy The Wine

All I Need (Jack Wagner)


All I Need
Composer(s): G. Ballard - C. Magness - D. Pack
Performer(s): Jack Wagner



Kissing you is not what I had planned
And now I'm not so sure just where I stand
I wasn't looking for true love
But now you're looking at me
You're the only one I can think of
You're the only one I see

All I need
Is just a little more time
To be sure what I feel
Is it all in my mind
'Cause it seems so hard to believe
That you're all I need

Yes it's true we've all been hurt before
But it doesn't seem to matter anymore
It may be a chance we're taking
But it always comes to this
If this isn't love we're making
Then I don't know what it is

All I need
Is just a little more time
To be sure what I feel
Is it all in my mind
'Cause it seems so hard to believe

All I need
Is just a little more time
To be sure what I feel
Is it all in my mind
'Cause it seems so hard to believe
That you're all I need

No stars are out tonight
But we're shining our own light
And it's never felt so bright
'Cause girl the way I'm feeling
It's easy to believe
That you're all I need

Ahhhh
You're all I need
Oooooh ahhhh

Who We Are


Who We Are
Composer(s): Andrew Latimer
Performer(s): Camel



Hotel rooms, sleep eludes me
In this strange life I lead
Occasional friends, likewise lovers
Never wanting what I need

If you could be
Here close to me
I know - love
We were meant for each other
We will love one another
And it won't really matter at all
Who we are

Wake-up calls in the morning
The empty night fades away
You're still there, I'm still faking
Words I always meant to say
