Why should I care?
Why should I care?
Girls of fifteen, sexually knowing
The ushers are sniffing, eau-du-cologning
The seats are seductive, celibate sitting
Pretty girls digging prettier women
Magically bored on a quiet street corner
Free frustration in our minds and our toes
Quiet storm water m-my generation
Uppers and downers, either way blood flows
Inside outside, leave me alone
Inside outside, nowhere is home
Inside outside, where have I been
Out of my brain on the five-fifteen
Out of my brain on the train
Out of my brain on the train
A raft in the quarry, slowly sinking
Back of a lorry, holy hitching
Dreadfully sorry, apple scrumping
Born in a war, birthday punching
He-man drag in a glittering ballroom
Greyly outrageous in my high heeled shoes
Tightly undone, know what they're showing
Sadly ecstatic that their heroes are news
Inside outside
Leave me alone
Inside outside
Nowhere is home
Inside outside
Where have I been
Out of my brain on the five-fifteen
Out of my brain on the train
Why should I care?
Why should I care?

All Of You
All Of You
Composer(s): Cole Porter
First performance by: Don Ameche - 1955
Covered by multiple other artists
After watching your appeal from ev'ry angle
there's a big romantic deal I've got to wangle
For I've fallen for a certain luscious lass
And it's not a passing fancy or a fancy pass
I love the look of you, the lure of you
I'd love to make a tour of you
The eyes, the arms, the mouth of you
The east, west, north, and the south of you
I'd love to gain complete control of you
And handle even the heart and soul of you
So love, at least, a small percent of me, do
For I love all of you

Why Say Goodbye
Why Say Goodbye
French Title: A Comme Amour
Composer(s): Pierre Cour; Larry Kusic;
Andre Popp; Eddie Snyder
Performer(s): Connie Francis
Why...Why say goodbye
Rivers of love
Never run dry
Deep in your heart
I know you'll find
Some trace of love
Still left behind
That love is mine
Why...Why let love die
We'll catch the wind
If we just try
Think of my arms
Willing and warm
Think of that night
Safe from the storm
Our love was born
Why...Why say goodbye
Why sing a song
Ending with cry
Let's touch the stars
Let me be them
Darlin' I know
We'll love again
Why say goodbye
If we just try
Our love won't die
Why say goodbye

All Of This For Sally
All Of This For Sally
Composer(s): John D. Loudermilk
Performer(s): John D. Loudermilk; Mark Dinning; Jim Nabors
Great Granddaddy left five million dollars to Sally
Twelve twenty story office buildings in New York to Sally
Sixty thousand acres of a prime beef cattle in Utah
A thirty room mansion with the servants and a chauffeur with a new car
All of this for Sally, all of this for Sally
All of this for Sally, (gasp) who loves only me
Now, when the lawyers read the will and gave everything to Sally
All the great-grandkids looked disgustedly at Sally
It was quite a shock when he left his blue chip stock just to Sally
And it was terrible when he left his Rivièra home to Sally
All of this for Sally, all of this for Sally
All of this for Sally, (gasp) who loves only me
I take Sally for a walk each evening in the city park
She looks up at me with those big brown eyes and breaks my silly heart
Sally's not too good at arithmetic, so all her money, I kinda handle
'Cause after all, Sally's just four year old
Brown eyed...Cocker spaniel
All of this for Sally, all of this for Sally
All of this for Sally, (gasp) who loves only me

Why Not Me
Why Not Me
Composer(s): Harlan Howard; Sonny Throckmorton; Brent Maher
Performer(s): The Judds; Sister Valentina
You've been looking for love all around the world
Baby don't you know this country girl's still free
Why not me
Well you finally come down to your own hometown
Your Kentucky girl's been waiting patiently
Why not me
Chorus:
Why not me on a rainy day
Why not me to love your cares away
Why not me
Why not me when the nights get cold
Why not me when your growin' old
Why not me
You've been searchin' from here to Singapore
Ain't it time that you noticed the girl next door baby
Why not me
Well you had to see if the world was round
It's time that you learned how good settling down could be
Why not me
Chorus

All Of This And Nothing
All Of This And Nothing
Composer(s): John Ashton - Richard Butler - Tim Butler - Vince Ely - Duncan Kilburn - Roger Morris
Performer(s): The Psychedelic Furs
A phonebook full of accidents
A girl to drive your car
A suit to wear on mondays
And a coat a magazine
A heavy rain a holiday
A painting of the wall
A knife a fork and memories
A light to see it all
You didn't leave me anything
That I can understand
Hey I never meant that stuff
I want to turn you round
Dominoes a pack of cards
A picture of the queen
A dress to wear on sundays
And a handle for the door
A letter that I sent for you
A note you left for me
A wave a pack of cigarettes
A pocket full of beads
You didn't leave me anything
That I can understand
Hey I never meant that stuff
I want to turn you on
You didn't leave me anything
That I can understand
Hey I never meant that stuff
I want to turn you round
You didn't leave me anything
That I can understand
Hey I never meant that stuff
I want to turn you on
The sound of people getting drunk
A ceiling and a sky
A bank that's full of promises
A telephone that lies
A visit from your doctor
He crawls in through the door
A mirror you can look in
So that you know where you are
You didn't leave me anything
That I can understand
Hey I never meant that stuff
I want to turn you round
You didn't leave me anything
That I can understand
Now I'm left with all of this
A room full of your trash

Why Must The Show Go On
Why Must The Show Go On
Composer(s): Philip Oakey; Giorgio Moroder
Performer(s): Philip Oakey & Giorgio Moroder
Did you think your love would last forever?
Did you always have somewhere to go?
Did you tell your lies for entertainment?
Did you ever let your feelings show?
Could you ever tell the truth from fiction?
Did you even let your lovers know?
Did you think that life is an addiction?
And love has to be killed or it may grow
Why must the show go on
After the crowd has gone?
After the battles won
Why must the show go on?
On through the night
On until light
Never in our lives were we together
Nothing real underneath the show
Talk of passion could have been the weather
How could love so wounded die so slow?
Why must the show go on
After the crowd has gone?
After the battles won
Why must the show go on?
Why must the show go on?
After the race is run?
After the victor's song
Why must the show go on?
On through the night
On until light
Why must the show go on?
After the race is run?
After the victor's song
Why must the show go on?
Why must the show go on
After the crowd has gone?
After the battles won
Why must the show go on?
On through the night
On until light

All Of The Monkeys Ain't In The Zoo
All Of The Monkeys Ain't In The Zoo
Composer(s): Tommy Collins
Performer(s): Tommy Collins; Blue Grass Boys; Johnny Duncan
Now, I've got a cousin on my daddy's side
He was a single boy and doin' fine
Until he met a widder who took him for a ride
He's a hubby now, besides the toll of nine
All of the monkeys ain't in the zoo
There's some runnin' loose around me and you
Just watch when you're in a crowd and you'll agree too
That all of the monkeys ain't in the zoo
Oh, the women on a budget always tickle me
They're as tight as ticks and worry all the time
And then a travelling salesman sweeps 'em off their feet
They give a dollar for a brush that's worth a dime
All of the monkeys ain't in the zoo
There's some runnin' loose around me and you
Just watch when you're in a crowd and you'll agree too
That all of the monkeys ain't in the zoo
Now, there's some awful smart men that run the USA
They head the list of some of our great men
And then there's some others who had a big shot brother
They weren't elected, they were just put in
All of the monkeys ain't in the zoo
There's some tellin' us what we can do
Just watch when you're in a crowd and you'll agree too
That all of the monkeys ain't in the zoo
I used to tell my girl when she'd get marryin' on her mind
That she'd never make a monkey out of me
But I was just a country kid and I didn't know the game
And I guess you know what happened to me
All of the monkeys ain't in the zoo
There's some runnin' loose around me and you
Just watch when you're in a crowd and you'll agree too
That all of the monkeys ain't in the zoo

Why Me? (Irene Cara)
Why Me?
Composer(s): Irene Cara; Keith Forsey; Giorgio Moroder
Performer(s): Irene Cara
Life felt so right
I was drowned in your light
With the world so in tune
`Til you made me out for a fool
Left with nothing to do
Can't forget about you
With my heart in my heart
Pack my bags, leave my memories with you
You gave me nothing but misery
I found so much more
You used me oh so helplessly
I don't want your sympathy
Why me?
Why me?
Why me when I was the one who could set your heart free?
Why me?
Why me?
Why me?
You took all the love I gave up selfishly
Why me?
Trapped in your space
Never thought I could face
Going one step beyond
When I knew deep inside I was strong
Now I know what it takes
Can't repeat the mistakes
When new love comes along
It'll give me what I'll call my own
You gave me nothing but misery
I found so much more
You used me oh so helplessly
I don't want your sympathy
Why me?
Why me?
Why me when I was the one who could set your heart free?

All Of The Good Ones Are Taken
All Of The Good Ones Are Taken
Composer(s): Ian Hunter
Performer(s): Ian Hunter
Girl-things ain’t been goin’ too good for me
Girl-I’m living in the middle of a mystery
You’re the only one that can turn me on
’n’ now that you’re gone I said
Girl-I’m livin’ in the middle of your memory
Girl-you’re still the figure in my favorite fantasy
I know you know
That’s the way it goes
And still my love grows-i said
All o’ the good, all o’ the good ones are taken
All o’ the good, all o’ the good ones are taken
I’m hangin’ around with my head in the air
Watchin’ the lovers go by
I had a lover-but she never cared
All you could say was goodbye
Maybe I was mistaken
Maybe I got it wrong
But all of the good ones are taken from now on
’n’ girl-I’m livin’ in the middle of a broken dream
I said girl-all this fallin’ in love ain’t like it seems
Out in the rain-can’t you feel my pain
Again ’n’ again ’n’ again ’n’ again ’n’ again
All of the good, all o’ the good ones are taken
Maybe I was mistaken-maybe I got it wrong
But all of the good ones are taken in my song

Why Me Lord?
Composer(s): Kris Kristofferson
Performer(s): Kris Kristofferson
Why me lord?
what have I ever done
to deserve even one
of the pleasures I've known
tell me lord
what did I ever do
that was worth lovin' you
for the kindness you've shown
chorus:
lord help me Jesus
I've wasted it so help me Jesus
I know what I am
but now that I know
that I needed you so help me Jesus
my soul's in your hand
try me lord
if you think there's a way
I can try to repay
all I've takin' from you
maybe lord
I can show someone else
what I've been through myself
on my way back to you
chorus (x2)
Jesus, my soul in your hands

All Of My Memories
All Of My Memories
Composer(s): John Denver
Performer(s): John Denver
All of my memories lay in the life of the highway
All of my nights in old motels a sleepin' alone
All of my days on the road with no one beside me
All of my dreams of a place that I can call home
Somewhere in the shade near the sound of a sweet singin' river
Somewhere in the sun where the mountains make love to the sky
Somewhere to build me a faith, a farm and a family
Somewhere to grow older, and somewhere a reason to try
'cause I'm tired of big cities and so tired of big city ways
Scrathin' off sunset, and walkin' around in the maze
Some sweet taxi dancer tryin' to save me from bein' alone
Ah it's much worse than lonely there is no place that I really belong
I want to be home
I'm leavin' this city life in my mind I'm flyin' away
I'm leavin' tomorrow and all of the old yesterdays
I'm leavin' the trash cans the bright lights of telephone lines
I'm leavin' my sorrows of all of my memories behind
I'll see what I find
Somewhere in the shade near the sound of a sweet singin' river
Somewhere in the sun where the mountains make love to the sky
Somewhere to build me a faith, a farm, a family
Somewhere to grow older, and somewhere a reason to try
Somewhere to grow older, somewhere to laydown and die

Why Me? (Linda Martin)
Why Me?
Composer(s): Johnny Logan
First performance by: Linda Martin - 1992
Sometimes I watch you passing by my window
Sometimes I watch you passing through my dreams
And sometimes when I look at you
You take my breath away
Sometimes I try and understand your reasons
You choose to feel the way you feel about me
And sometimes when I turn around
And you're there like today
Boy/Girl, I wanna say
Why me
I look at you and I get this feeling
Why me
I know it's true but I can't believe it
I keep on wondering why
I'm such a lucky guy/girl
Why me
I look at you and I ask myself
Why me
Why me
I have to ask myself
Why me
Sometimes I lie awake just to watch you sleeping
To listen to the beating of your heart
and sometimes as you're lying there
You take my breath away
I wanna wake you and say
Why me
I look at you and I get this feeling
Why me
I know it's true but I can't believe
That it's me
Who's gonna be holding you in his arms tonight
And that it's me
Who's gonna be the one to make you feel all right,
tonight
Why me
I look at you and I get this feeling
Why me
I know it's true but I can't believe it
I keep on wondering why
I'm such a lucky guy/girl
Why me
I look at you and I ask myself
Why me
I look at you and I ask myself
Why me
I look at you to my surprise
Why me
I see that love in your eyes
Why me
Why me

All Of My Life
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Sammy Kaye
and multiple other artists
Someone was always in my dreams
That someone was always you
I never thought we'd meet some day
But now that my dream came true
I just want the right to love you all of my life
Just the right to take care of you all of my life
I just want the right to be near you
Always to be there, sharing ev'ry care and strife
Life can be as simple as a nursery rhyme
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday all of the time
Long as I may live, I just want the right to give
All my love with all my heart for all of my life
I just want the right to love you all of my life
Just the right to take care of you all of my life
I just want the right to be near you
Always to be there, sharing ev'ry care and strife

Why Haven't I Heard From You
Why Haven't I Heard From You
Composer(s): Sandy Knox; T.W. Hale
Performer(s): Reba McEntire;
and various other artists
Back in 1876 an ol' boy named Bell
Invented a contraption that we know so well
By the 1950's they were in everybody's home
As a crazy little thing they call the telephone
Now there's one on every corner, in the back of every bar
You can get one in your briefcase, on a plane or in your car
(Chorus)
So tell me why, haven't I heard from you
Tell me why, haven't I heard from you
I say now: Darlin', honey, what is your excuse
Why haven't I heard from you
Well there's no problem gettin' to me
Baby you can dial direct
I got call forwarding and call waiting
You can even call collect
The service man he told me that my phone is working fine
And I've come to the conclusion trouble isn't with my line
I'm sure the operator will be glad to put you thru
So dial zero for assistance if this all confuses you
(Repeat chorus)
There better been a flood, a landslide of mud
A fire that burns up the wires
And a thunder so loud with a black funnel cloud
A natural disaster I know nothin' about
(Repeat chorus twice)

All Of Me
All Of Me
Composer(s): Gerald Marks - Seymour Simons
First performance/First recording by: Belle Baker/Ruth Etting - 1931
Covered by multiple other artists
You took my kisses and all my love
You taught me how to care
Am I to be just remnant of a one side love affair
All you took
I gladly gave
There is nothing left for me to save
All of me
Why not take all of me
Can't you see
I'm no good without you
Take my lips
I want to loose them
Take my arms
I'll never use them
Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry
How can I go on dear without you
You took the part that once was my heart
So why not take all of me

Why have you left the one you left me for?
Okay, come on in!
You be my lover!
I'll be your friend!
You don't have to tell me, and I won't ask again!

All Of A Sudden (Carroll Gibbons)
All Of A Sudden
Composer(s): Harry Woods
Composer(s): Carroll Gibbons; Cliff "Ukelele Ike" Edwards; Kenny Sargent
All of a sudden my heart went athuddin’ when I saw you
All of a sudden the trees went abuddin’ and skies were blue
It was a moment, a wonderful moment that came to me
Sunlight and laughter are mine ever after
Still it’s all a mystery
I’m in the middle of some funny riddle I can’t explain
Why should I try it or try to deny it, it’s all in vain
Here with my loving arms around you
Happy I found you, how can it be
That all of a sudden I love you and you love me
