All In Love Is Fair


All In Love Is Fair
Composer(s): Stevie Wonder
First release by: Stevie Wonder - 1973
Covered by multiple other artists



All is fair in love
love's a crazy game
Two people vow to stay
in love as one
they say

But all is changed with time
the future none can see
the road you leave behind
Ahead lies mystery

But all is fair in love
I had to go away
A writer takes his pen
to write the words again
All in love is fair

All of fate's a chance
it's either good or bad
I tossed my coin to say
to say
in love with me you'd stay
but all in war is so cold

you either win or lose
when all is put away
the losing side I'll play

But all is fair in love
I should have never left your side
A writer takes his pen
to write the words again
that all in love is fair
A writer takes his pen
to write the words again

that all in love is fair

Don't Be Surprised


Don't Be Surprised
Composer(s): Margie Singleton - Jerry Kennedy
Performer(s): Dave Dudley



I've known all alone that you had leavin' on your mind
My questions had been answered by the look that's in your eyes
Any day now you'll come to me and I know just what you'll say
First you apologize say that you expect the words and then walk away

Don't be surprised if I don't look surprised when you say goodbye
Don't be takin' by surprise but you expect the absence of tears in my eyes
Any day now you'll come to me...

Any day now you'll come to me...

Who's Gonna Play This Old Piano?


Who's Gonna Play This Old Piano?
Composer(s): Ray Griff
Performer(s): Jerry Lee Lewis



Who's gonna play this ol' piana
After I'm not here?
Who's gonna sing these sad songs to you
'Cause your eyes to fill with tears?
Who's gonna keep these ivories talking
Like Jerry's doin' now?
Who's gonna play this ol' piano
After my last bow?
When that final curtain calls
Someday lord it will!
Who'll take my place on that stage
When everything is ah hushed and still
Who's gonna touch these keys with feeling?
Really get to you
Who's gonna play this ol' piano
When my time is through
The killer ain't through yet though baby!

We've laughed and you know we've cried together
Done a million shows
So I kinda think like I
Have every single right to know
Who's gonna keep this music going?
Who will carry on?
Who's gonna play this ol' piano
After the Killer's gone?!
Give it to me boy!

whooo

hangin' like dungotin

Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes


Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes
Composer(s): Troy Seals; Max D. Barnes
Performer(s): George Jones; Tammy Wynette



You know this old world is full of singers
But just a few are chosen
To tear your heart out when they sing
Imagine life without them
All your, radio heros
Like the outlaw that walks through Jesse's dream

No, there will never be another
Red-headed stranger
A Man in Black and Folsom Prison Blues
The Okie from Muskogee
Or Hello Darling
Lord I wonder, who's gonna fill their shoes

(Chorus:)
Who's gonna fill their shoes
Who's gonna stand that tall
Who's gonna play the Opry
And the Wabash Cannonball
Who's gonna give their heart and soul
To get to me and you
Lord I wonder, who's gonna fill their shoes

God bless the boys from Memphis
Blue Suede Shoes and Elvis
Much too soon he left this world in tears
They tore up the Fifties
Old Jerry Lee and Charlie
And old Go Cat Go still echoes through the years

You know the heart of country music
Still beats in Luke the Drifer
You can tell when hew sings I Saw the Light
Old Marty, Hank and Lefty
Why I can feel them right here with me
On this Silver Eagle rolling through the night

(Repeat chorus)

Mad


Mad
Composer(s): Tom T. Hall
Performer(s): Dave Dudley



I got about half high so I spent the whole weekend out
I got home Monday morning tore up like a can of Kraut
My only suit was layin' on the steps
I just picked up and run and I ain't been back there since
Well mad yeah she's mad
It's back to the doghouse I know from the practise I've had
When she's mad I play a dangerous game
In the obituary column they've already printed my name

She's five feet three and weights about hundred and eight
She's the kind of gal who don't believe in men a makin' mistakes
She's sweet and mighty nice
But when she's mad she's got a voice that'll cut through ice
Well mad ooh she's mad...

She's got eyes like a cat and she watches every move that I make
An alarm clock mind that's ringin' every time that I'm late
I'm sorry sick and all alone
But I'll have to stick it out cause it just ain't safe to go home
Well mad ooh she's mad...
In the obituary column they've already printed my name
In the obituary column they've already printed my name

Who's Crying Now


Who's Crying Now
Composer(s): Jonathan Cain; Steve Perry
Performer(s): Journey



It's been a mystery and still they try to see
Why somethin' good can hurt so bad
Caught on a one-way street, the taste of bittersweet
Love will survive somehow, some way

One love feeds the fire
One heart burns desire
I wonder, who's cryin' now
Two hearts born to run
Who'll be the lonely one
I wonder, who's cryin' now

So many stormy nights, so many wrongs or rights
Neither could change their headstrong ways
And in a lover's rage, they tore another page
The fightin' is worth the love they save

One love feeds the fire
One heart burns desire
I wonder, who's cryin' now
Two hearts born to run
Who'll be the lonely one
I wonder, who's cryin' now

Only so many tears you can cry
'Til the heartache is over
And now you can say your love
Will never die

Whoa, oh

One love feeds the fire
One heart burns desire
I wonder, who's cryin' now
Two hearts born to run
Who'll be the lonely one
I wonder, who's cryin' now

All' Improvviso L'incoscienza


All' Improvviso L'incoscienza
Composer(s): D. Pieretti - Roberto Soffici
Performer(s): Roberto Soffici



Lasciami appoggiare un po' la testa sopra il tuo seno
adagio adagio con la tua dolcezza mi sfiori la mano
un brivido mi increspa la pelle
mentre lasci cadere lo scialle
le tue calze colore di mare
giù dal letto le vedo volare
e nell'ombra il profilo del corpo immaturo che hai
Così piccola come un pulcino insieme mi tieni vicino
con quel modo di inventare l'amore che tu hai
Così piccola come un pulcino che si appisola nella mia mano
con quel modo di giocare amore che tu hai
Non dirmi che hai
paura a fare l'amore perchè non ci credo
che cosa ti succede proprio adesso che io ti volevo
Se davvero ho sbagliato qualcosa
sono quì posso chiederti scusa
se sorridi ad una stella così bella
come nell'improvviso diventerai incosciente anche tu.....
Così piccola come un pulcino
insieme mi tieni vicino
con quel modo di inventare l'amore che tu hai
Così piccola come un pulcino
che si appisola nella mia mano
con quel modo di giocare amore che tu hai

Who's Cheatin' Who


Who's Cheatin' Who
Composer(s): Jerry Hayes
Performer(s): Alan Jackson;
and various other artists



Everywhere you look you can write a book
On the trouble of a woman and a man
But you can not impose you can't stick your nose
Into something that you don't understand

But still you wonder
Who's cheatin' who, who's being true
Who don't even care anymore
It makes you wonder
Who's doing right with someone tonight
And who's car is parked next door

I thought I knew her well I really couldn't tell
That she had another lover on her mind
You see it felt so right when she held me tight
How could I be so blind

But still you wonder
Who's cheatin' who, who's being true
Who don't even care anymore
It makes you wonder
Who's doing right with someone tonight
And who's car is parked next door

A heart is on the line each and every time
Love is stolen in the shadows of the night
Though it's wrong all along it keeps going on
As long as you keep in outta sight

But still you wonder
Who's cheatin' who, who's being true
Who don't even care anymore
It makes you wonder
Who's doing right with someone tonight
And who's car is parked next door

All I Wanted


All I Wanted
Composer(s): Steve Walsh - Steve Morse
Performer(s): Kansas



You say it's time to stay behind
All I wanted was to hold you
All I wanted was to touch you

No need for blame cause we're not the same
All I wanted was to love you
That's all I wanted

How many times will it take
Hurting me the way you do
How many times till I break
You're hurting me the way I'm loving you the way I do

It's not so strange for us to change
All I wanted was to love you that's all I wanted

How many times will it take
Hurting me the way you do
How many times till I break
You're hurting me the way

I'm loving you the way I do

Who's Blue Now?


Who's Blue Now?
Composer(s): Caesar; Meyer
Performer(s): Fred Waring



Who's blue now?
You ought to know
You made me go
Who's blue now?
You ought to say
You had your way

You drifted far apart from me
You didn't care
You took the very heart from me
You didn't spare me

Who's saying
"Oh, what a break!
What a mistake!"
Who's paying
With many a heartache?
Hate you, I don't
Love you I won't
Now that I'm through
Who's blue now?
Nobody but you!

All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You


All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You
Composer(s): Robert John "Mutt" Lange
Performer(s): Heart; Girls Rock America; Dobie Gray



It was a rainy night when he came into sight
Standing by the road, no umbrella, no coat
So I pulled up along side and I offered him a ride
He accepted with a smile so we drove for a while
I didn't ask him his name, this lonely boy in the rain
Fate tell me it's right, is this love at first sight
Please don't make it wrong, just stay for the night
All I wanna do is make love to you
Say you will you want me too
All I wanna do is make love to you
I've got lovin' arms to hold on to

So we found this hotel, it was a place I knew well
We made magic that night. Oh, he did everything right
He brought the woman out of me, so many times, easily
And in the morning when he woke all I left him was a note
I told him I am the flower you are the seed
We walked in the garden we planted a tree
Don't try to find me, please don't you dare
Just live in my memory, you'll always be there

All I wanna do is make love to you
One night of love was all we knew

We made love
Love like strangers
All night long
We made love

Then it happened one day, we came round the same way
You can imagine his surprise when he saw his own eyes
I said please, please understand
I'm in love with another man
And what he couldn't give me
Was the one little thing that you can

One night of love was all we knew

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

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!
