All In The Name Of Love


All In The Name Of Love
Performer(s): Willie Nelson



Big Jim Butcher was the king of the hill
He ran his business with a deadly will
His foreman, John, had a pretty wife
The way she looked cut Jim like a knife

John was weak and his wife was, too
Her name was Kate, and she fell in, too
She let Big Jim do what he had to do
And John stood by and his life was thru

It was all in the name of love
All in the name of love
You can't change the stars above
All in the name of love

John took a bottle one drink at a time
Stared off in space as he lost his mind
Knew who it was on the telephone
He saw it all and he felt so alone

One dark morning, John stood up like a man
He took his shotgun with a steady hand
He went to the motel - broke the door in
He left two holes where two hearts had been

It was all in the name of love
All in the name of love
You can't change the stars above
All in the name of love

He called the preacher and he called the law
And when they got there it was pretty raw
He said "Boys, you better come and take me away
I've done all I can do in the name of love today"

It was all in the name of love
All in the name of love
You can't change the stars above
All in the name of love

It was all in the name of love
All in the name of love
You can't change the stars above
All in the name of love

It was all in the name of love
All in the name of love
You can't change the stars above
All in the name of love

Who's Holding Donna Now?


Who's Holding Donna Now?
Composer(s): David Foster; Randy Goodrum; Jay Graydon
Performer(s): DeBarge; Big Mountain



Sometimes a love won't let go
Hard as I try I know it shows
Everybody's telling me
You'll be over her eventually
But how am I supposed to feel so secure

When I keep wonderin'
Who's holding Donna now
And I keep wonderin'
Who's heart she's knocking around
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To be in his shoes somehow
And I keep wonderin'
Who's holding Donna now
And I keep wonderin'
What magic can be found
To turn me back to the one
Who's holding Donna now

The letter started with goodbye
I've read it half a million times
Tell me this is just a dream
When I wake up she'll be here next to me
Tell me it will be just the way it was, oh

Well I keep wonderin'
Who's holding Donna now
And I keep wonderin'
Who's heart she's knocking around
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To be in his shoes right now
And I keep wonderin'
Who's holding Donna now
And I keep wonderin'
What magic can be found
To turn me back to the one
Who's holding Donna now

Who's holding Donna now
I keep wonderin'
Who's heart she's knocking around
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To be in his shoes right now
(Whoa whoa whoa!)
Who's holding Donna now
(Ohhhh Donna)
What magic can be found
To make me the one,
Who's holding Donna now
I can't get Donna off my mind
Who's holding Donna now
I keep wonderin'
Who's heart she's knocking around
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To be in his shoes right now

All In My Mind


All In My Mind
Composer(s): Fred Johnson - Maxine Brown - Leroy Kirkland
Performer(s): Maxine Brown



I think that you don't care
And it's more than I can bear
I dont know, baby
Maybe its all in my mind, all in my mind

I know that I've been true
But honey, sweetie baby what about you?
I don't know, baby
Maybe it's all in my mind

We've been going steady so long
I'd never dream you would ever do me wrong
I knew I was yours and I thought you were mine
And that every little thing was so fine

Whoa, darling, I'd hate to see
Someone else with you other than me
I dont know baby
Maybe its all in my mind
All in mind, oh, uum, uum
Oh yes, its all in my mind

I dont mean to think so mean and evil, baby
Please tell me, tell me
It's all in my mind

Who's Gonna Take The Garbage Out


Who’s Gonna Take The Garbage Out
Composer(s): Teddy Wilburn; Johnnny Tillotson; Lucille Cosenza
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb & Loretta Lynn



I take too much abuse from you that's all I ever get
Yeah...
Callin' a man like you a husband is just like callin' a wildcat a pet

You'd better stop your runnin' around straighten-up and start movin’ on
But who's gonna take your garbage out when I've packed my bags and gone

Each day you walk off over me can't you take another out
If you start actin' like married man maybe we could find the way to work things out

You'll find your key won't fit the lock if you keep on a keepin' on
But who's gonna take your garbage out when I've packed my bags and gone

I know you think I'm runnin' round and that's why you're so peeved
That's another line of that same old stuff that I hope you don't expect me to believe

Go out tonight but don't come back because you just lost a home
But who's gonna take your garbage out when I've packed my bags and gone

I know you think I'm runnin' round and that’s why you’re so peeved
That's another line of that same old stuff that I hope you don't expect me to believe

Go out tonight but don't come back because you just lost a home
But who's gonna take your garbage out when I've packed my bags and gone
Honey who's gonna take your garbage out when I've packed my bags and gone

You're gonna miss me honey gal
Ah…
Who are you kiddin'

Who's Gonna Take You Home Tonight


Who's Gonna Take You Home Tonight
Composer(s): Martin Page
Performer(s): Tom Jones



There's a place you go after dark
Where you sell your haunted heart
In the shadows you look for the friend
Who'll take you where the sidewalks ends

And it's a sad affair
You reach out but no one's there

Tell me who's gonna take you home tonight
Take your hand and hold you tight
Who'll be the one to make it right
And promise you paradise

Tell me who's gonna take you home tonight
Turn the darkness into light
And wipe away the tears you cry
Just another stranger
Will be taking you home tonight

You couldn't see that love was the price
What happened to the light in your eyes
Broken dreams fall at your feet
You stand alone on a dead end street

So who's gonna hear you prayer
Look around there's no one there
He'll tell you dreams come true
And take you to some rented room
But when the blinds are drawn
Another angel will fall

I guess it's in your blood
One love just ain't enough

Tell me who's gonna take you home tonight
Take your hand and hold you tight
Who'll be the one to make it right
And promise you paradise

Tell me who's gonna take you home tonight
Turn the darkness into light
And wipe away the tears you cry
Just another stranger
Will be taking you home tonight

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
