All I Want To Do


All I Want To Do
Performer(s): UB40



I don`t like the work but true I need the money
My life is like a joke but to me is isn`t funny
Peolpe all around, telling me what to do
And all I want to do is stay at home with you

Time after time I say to myself
Working all my life isn`t good for my health
Get old, get tired, get put on the shelf
I do all the work, someone else gets all the wealth
Wish I was on an island in the sun
Where I woouldn`t have to worry how to get things done

I don`t like the work but true I need the money
My life is like a joke but to me is isn`t funny
Peolpe all around, telling me what to do
And all I want to do is stay at home with you

Day after day becomes more of a grind
Bills pile up, moneys harder to find
Trying to get ahead money`s harder to find
If I don`t give it up i`m gonna lose my mind
Wish I was on an island in the sun
Where I wouldn`t have to worry how to get things done

I don`t like the work but true I need the money
My life is like a joke but to me is isn`t funny
Peolpe all around, telling me what to do
And all I want to do is stay at home with you

Who's Been Polishing The Sun?


Who’s Been Polishing The Sun?
Composer(s): Noel Gay
Performer(s): Leslie Holmes



The world’s becoming a gay one
I used to think it a grey one
But I discovered it’s A1, just now
It’s taken on a new meaning
It’s very nice to be seen in
There’s been a little spring-cleaning somehow

Who’s been polishing the sun
Brightening the sky today?
They must have known just how I like it
Everything’s coming my way
Who’s been teaching all the birds
How to sing a roundelay?
They must have known just how I like it
Everything’s coming my way

Yesterday everything looked anyhow
Then I met someone and look at it now
Who’s been polishing the sun
Rubbing out the clouds of grey?
They must have known just how I like it
Everything’s coming my way

Now the world was getting all rusted
And I was getting disgusted
But everything has been dusted today
The sky’s a little serener
The grass a little bit greener
There’s been a vacuum cleaner this way

Who’s been polishing the sun
Brightening the sky today?
They must have known just how I like it
Everything’s coming my way
Who’s been teaching all the birds
How to sing a roundelay?
They must have known just how I like it
Everything’s coming my way

Yesterday everything looked anyhow
Then I met someone and look at it now
Who’s been polishing the sun
Rubbing out the clouds of grey?
They must have known just how I like it
Everything’s coming my way

Yesterday everything looked anyhow
Then I met someone and look at it now
Who’s been polishing the sun
Rubbing out the clouds of grey?
They must have known just how I like it
Everything’s coming my way

Ooh…ooh...
Na, na, na, na, oh, oh
(Oh, oh, baby)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

All I want, all I want is forever
I don't want much from you

Am I asking too much
Asking for all your love forever

Oh, all I know is when we're together, baby
Time passes much too fast
And I want to make it last
Last forever more, girl, forever more

And all my life I've been waiting to find, to find you, baby
Now that you're finally here
Ooh, I want you always near
And to share my life, yes, to share my life

Forever
All I want is forever (That's all I want is forever, baby)
Am I asking too much
Asking for all your love

Forever
Won't you give me forever, baby (This time make it last, baby)
I'm not asking for much
Asking for all your love forever

Oh, oh, just say that you will stay for always
And always you'll be mine
At least till the end of time

Forever {Oh, forever, my baby, yeah, yeah}
All I want is forever (Oh, is that what you want) {That's what I
want}
Am I asking too much
Asking for all your love

Am I asking too much
Asking for all your love {I just want forever}

Forever {I just need forever}
All I want is forever (And you know I love you, baby)
Am I asking too much
Asking for all your love forever

Whoop-Ti-Ay! (Shivaree)


Whoop-Ti-Ay! (Shivaree)
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner; Frederick Loewe



Mr. Rumson went to town
Riding on a pony
Bought a wife and brought her home
And called it matrimony

Mr. Rumson bought a bride
Out in Californee
He'd of saved alot of money
Staying drunk and horny

Oh, Susanna, he's happy as can be
For he's got him something better than a banjo on his knee

Rumson, he got married today
Married today, married today
Rumson, he got married today
What'll he do tomorrow?

Get the soap man water, whoop-ti-ay!
Get the soap man water, whoop-ti-ay!
Got a sweet perfumer to dry his humor
It's Ben's wedding day

Wash him down and flip him, whoop-ti-ay!
Wash him down and flip him, whoop-ti-ay!
He's got a blue-eyed wonder to pull him under
It's Ben's wedding, his wedding, his wedding day....
Amen!

All I Want Is Everything


All I Want Is Everything
Composer(s): Joe Elliott
Performer(s): Def Leppard



I don't know how to leave you
And I don't know how to stay
I've got things that I must tell you
That I don't know how to say

The man behind these empty words
Is crying out in shame
Holding on to this sinking ship
When nothing else remains

All I want is everything
Am I asking too much?
All I want is everything
Like the feel of your touch
But all I have are yesterdays
Tomorrow never comes

It's hard to hold your head up
When you're kneeling down to pray
And the talking dooesn't come easy now
When the words get in the way
And if you could see what's going on
Behind these private eyes
The truth would look so easy now
But I'm running out of lies

You think the shadow of doubt
Is hangin' over my head
It's just an angel whose wings hide the sun
And it's myself I betray
I can not wish this away
Took my chance now the damage is done

All I want is everything
Am I asking too much?
All I want is everything
Like the feel, the feel of your touch
When all I have are yesterdays
Tomorrow never comes

Ooh, oooh
Ooh, oooh

Who-Oo? You-Oo, That's Who!


Who-Oo? You-Oo, That's Who!
Composer(s): Milton Ager; Jack Yellen
Performer(s): Annette Hanshaw; Janet Klein



Everywhere, now-a-days
They got that question-asking craze
Dad says to Mother
Ask me another
Now, I got some questions, too
I'd like to ask you just a few
I know the answers; so do you!

Who's got the cutest eyes?
Who's got what satisfies?
Who-oo? You-oo, that's who!

Who would I love to pet?
Who is so hard to get?
Who-oo? You-oo, that's who!

Who's positively just as sweet as can be?
Who's absolutely made to order for me? Gee!

Who have I got to win?
Who simply must give in?
Who-oo? You-oo, that's who!

Who is my favorite sheik?
Whose kisses make me weak?
Who-oo? You-oo, that's who!

And who's got plenty of that thing they call "it"?
And who can pet and love like Babe Ruth can hit?
Who?

Who takes the sheikin' prize?
Who plays like Lindbergh flies?
Who-oo? You-oo, that's who!

Who's got the cutest eyes? You got!
Who's got what satisfies?
Who-oo? You-oo, that's who!

Who would I love to pet? Guess!
Who is so hard to get?

Who-oo? You-oo, that's who!

Who's positively just as sweet as can be?
Who's absolutely made to order for me? Gee!

Who have I got to win?
Who simply must give in?
Who-oo? You-oo, that's who!

All I Want Is All There Is And Then Some


All I Want Is All There Is And Then Some
Composer(s): Ross Bagdasarian
Performer(s): Eartha Kitt



All I want is all there is and then some
All I want is all there is and more
A guy who, when my jokes aint' funny
Busts out laughin' and calls me Honey
All I want is all there is and then some

All I want is all there is and then some
Showers of devotion all the time
A guy who keeps his manly form
Choppin' wood to keep me warm
All I want is all there is and then some

Well why? Why not?
If I'm gonna want, I'm gonna want a lot
Now here's the score
Why wish for a loaf of bread when you can wish for a grocery store

All I want is all there is and then some
Start a social circle all my own
Have lunch with Mamie Eisenhower
And for a waiter, Tyrone Power
All I want is all there is and then some

All I want is all there is and then some
Do a thing that no one's ever done
Visit Paris in the Spring
Then shut up, not say a thing
All I want is all there is and then some

All I want is all there is and then some
3D color television now
Table cloths of mink and sable
Platinum ashtrays on the table
All I want is all there is and then some

Well why? Why not?
If I'm gonna want, I'm gonna want a lot
Now here's the score
Why wish for a loaf of bread when you can wish for a grocery store

All I want is all there is and then some
Forty guys who want a date each night
Make a date with everyone
Then stand 'em up and watch the fun
All I want is all there is and then some

All I Want For Christmas (Dear Is You)


All I Want For Christmas (Dear Is You)
Composer(s): N. Stovall - D. Talley
Performer(s): Louise Mandrell



All I want for Christmas, Dear, is you
To make my dreams of Christmas seem brand new
We won't need the mistletoe to prove our love is true
For all I want for Christmas, Dear, is you

For Christmas time I don't need pretty things
I don't want turtle doves or golden rings
The nicest thing that I could find underneath my tree
Is a present sent with love from you to me

All I want for Christmas, Dear, is you
To make my dreams of Christmas seem brand new
We won't need the mistletoe to prove our love is true
For all I want for Christmas, Dear, is you

A Christmas card that says I love you so
It's nice and warm inside, so let it snow
A cracklin' fire, a frosty morn, some time for me and you
To share a love that's only felt by few

All I want for Christmas, Dear, is you, only you
To make my dreams of Christmas seem brand new
We won't need the mistletoe to prove our love is true
For all I want for Christmas, Dear, is you

Yes, all I want for Christmas is you

Who'll Take My Place When I'm Gone?


Who'll Take My Place When I'm Gone?
Composer(s): Billy Fazioli; Raymond Klages
Performer(s): The Ames Brothers



Who'll take my place in your heart when I'm gone
Who'll know the bliss of your kiss from then on
Who's gonna share each sorrow and care
What'll you do, whenever you're blue
There is no one who will love you like I do

Who'll take my place in your wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful arms
Who will embrace all those gorgeous, sweet charms
And who'll always be true and believe just in you
Tell me, who'll take my place when I'm gone
Tell me, who'll take my place when I'm gone

All I Want (Joni Mitchell)


All I Want
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
First release by: Joni Mitchell - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists



I am on a lonely road and I am traveling
Traveling, traveling, traveling
Looking for something, what can it be
Oh I hate you some, I hate you some
I love you some
Oh I love you when I forget about me
I want to be strong I want to laugh along
I want to belong to the living
Alive, alive, I want to get up and jive
I want to wreck my stockings in some juke box dive
Do you want - do you want - do you want
To dance with me baby
Do you want to take a chance
On maybe finding some sweet romance with me baby
Well, come on

All I really really want our love to do
Is to bring out the best in me and in you too
All I really really want our love to do
Is to bring out the best in me and in you
I want to talk to you, I want to shampoo you
I want to renew you again and again
Applause, applause - life is our cause
When I think of your kisses
My mind see-saws
Do you see - do you see - do you see
How you hurt me baby
So I hurt you too
Then we both get so blue

I am on a lonely road and I am traveling
Looking for the key to set me free
Oh the jealousy, the greed is the unraveling
It's the unraveling
And it undoes all the joy that could be
I want to have fun, I want to shine like the sun
I want to be the one that you want to see
I want to knit you a sweater
Want to write you a love letter
I want to make you feel better
I want to make you feel free
Hmm, Hmm, Hmm, Hmm
Want to make you feel free
I want to make you feel free

Who'll Stop The Rain


Who'll Stop The Rain
Composer(s): John C. Fogerty
Performer(s): Creedence Clearwater Revival



Long as I remember
The rain been coming down
Clouds of mystery pouring
Confusion on the ground
Good men through the ages
Trying to find the sun
And I wonder
Still I wonder
Who'll stop the rain

I went down Virginia
Seeking shelter from the storm
Caught up in the fable
I watched the tower grow
Five year plans and new deals
Wrapped in golden chains
And I wonder
Still I wonder
Who'll stop the rain

Heard the singers playing
How we cheered for more
The crowd had rushed together
Trying to keep warm
Still the rain kept pouring
Falling on my ears
And I wonder
Still I wonder
Who'll stop the rain

And you know that I know a million bitches too

And don't you ever leave me again without warning
Next time it'll be my mind
That I'm going to lose cause

All I want is to hold you

Who'll Be The Next In Line
Composer(s): Ray Davies
Performer(s): The Kinks;
and various other artists



Who'll be the next in line
Who'll be the next in line for heartache
Who'll make the same mistakes
I made over you
Who'll be the next in line
Who'll be the next in line for you

Who'll be the next in line
Who'll be the next to watch your love fade
All your affections finally fade away
They'll be no use in sight
Who'll be the next in line for you

One day you'll find out when I'm gone
I was the best one you had
I was the one who gave you love

Who'll be the next in line
Who'll be the next in line for heartaches
Who'll make the same mistakes
I made over you
Who'll be the next in line for you

One day you'll find out when I'm gone
I was the best one you had
I was the one who gave you love

Who'll be the next in line
Who'll be the next in line for heartaches
Who'll make the same mistakes
I made over you
They'll be no use in sight
Who'll be the next in line for you

All I Wanna Be (Is By Your Side)


All I Wanna Be (Is By Your Side)
Composer(s): Peter Frampton
Performer(s): Peter Frampton; Nanette Workman



Do what you do don't bring me down
I went to the doctor he's just another clown
Don't stand alone you might turn to stone
I wish there was a pill for that - you're on your own

Can't you see what it's doing to me
All I wanna be is by your side
I don't care if they cut my hair
All I wanna be is by your side

Shake me down you wanna put me on the ground
There's money in my pocket I won't make a sound
Run me over or pick a four leaf clover
Now they cut the lights down, this record's going slower

Can't you see what it's doing to me
All I wanna be is by your side
I don't care if they cut my hair
All I wanna be is by your side

All I See Is Your Face


All I See Is Your Face
Composer(s): Dan Hill
Performer(s): Dan Hill



Everytime the phone rings I pray it might be you
That you thought out all the answers
Wanna get back togeter again
Oh but a strangers voice rings thru my ears
And though I listen you are all I hear
And girl I didn’t mean to drive you away
People come and go so fast
But all I see is your face

There’s an old man on the corner
Just staring at the sea
I wanna hold him like a broken doll
Ask him if he’s lonely like me
The waves crash like a violent dream
The mist flies and the seagulls scream
And the old man he sees nothing just stares into space
And me all I can see is your face

Now I know there are no promises in love
You’ve gotta give it all you have
And hope that maybe you can share
Maybe you can share your life with someone
A stranger touches me and all I can feel
Is your embrace
A stranger looks my way
And all I ever see is your face

I’ve got my songs to protect me
I’ve got my friends to ease the pain
They say time will heal this emptiness
Girl without you it ain’t the same
I don’t see any stars tonight
Just the darkness of the city lights
I close my eyes once more and try to escape
And all I can see is your face

All I See Is You


All I See Is You
((Italian Version: L'amore Non È Amore Senza Te (by Peppino Di Capri) - 1966))
Composer(s): Clive Westlake - Ben Weisman
First release by: Dusty Springfield - 1966



I tried so hard
All summer through
Not to think too much of you
But the more I try
The more I find
I just can’t leave the past behind

Times that are happy
Are times that are few
And once I was happy
When I had you

But days have come and gone
Since you were here
Nights are twice as long
Without you near
Pictures on my mind
Stand out so clear
No matter where I am
Or what I do
My darling
All I see is you

You’re there in every dream
I ever dream
There at every place
I’ve ever been
Everyday I find
You’re in my heart
And on my mind
I close my eyes
But I’m not blind
I see you still
And when I throw my arms out wide
I find that you’re not by my side
But one thing is for sure
Until I do
All I see is you

Everyday I find
You’re in my heart
And on my mind
I close my eyes
But I’m not blind
I see you still, oh

I won’t live again
’til I’m with you
Oh, darling
I won’t love again
Unless it’s with you

So until the day
When you are back with me to stay
In every way
All I see is you

Whole Lotta Rosie


Whole Lotta Rosie
Composer(s): Angus Young; Malcom Young; Bon Scott
Performer(s): AC/DC;
and various other artists



Wanna tell you a story
'Bout a woman I know
When it comes to lovin'
Oh, she steals the show
She ain't exactly pretty
Ain't exactly small
Forty-two, thirty-nine, fifty-six
You could say she's got it all

Never had a woman
Never had a woman like you
Doing all the things
Doing all the things you do
Ain't no fairy story
Ain't no skin and bone
But you give it all you got
Weighing in at nineteen stone

You're a whole lotta woman
A whole lotta woman
A whole lotta Rosie
And you're a whole lotta woman

Oh honey you can do it
Do it to me all night long
Only one to turn
Only one to turn me on
All through the night time
And right around the clock
To my surprise
Rosie never stops

You're a whole lotta woman
A whole lotta woman
A whole lotta Rosie
And you're a whole lotta woman
