Why Should I Love You?
Why Should I Love You?
Composer(s): Kate Bush
Performer(s): Kate Bush; Mike Scott
This chapter says, put it out of your mind
and give it time
the violent purple
the purest gold
the red of the sacred heart
the grey of the ghost
the "l" of the lips are open
to the "o" of the host
the "v" of the velvet
Chorus
of all the people in the world
why should I love you?
there's just something bout you
there's just something bout you
of all the people in the world
why should I love you?
have you ever seen a picture
of Jesus laughing
mmm do you think
he had a beautiful smile
a smile that healed
Chorus
of all the people in the world
why should I love you
(why should I love you)
why should I love you
(why should I love you)
Repeat

All Or Nothing At All
All Or Nothing At All
Composer(s): Arthur Altman - Jack Lawrence
First release by: Bob Eberly & Jimmy Dorsey - 1939
Covered by multiple other artists
All or nothing at all
Half a love, never appealed to me
If your heart, never could yield to me
Then I'd rather have nothing at all
All or nothing at all
If it's love, there is no in between
Why begin then cry, for something that might have been
No I'd rather have nothing at all
But please don't bring your lips so close to my cheek
Don't smile or I'll be lost beyond recall
The kiss in your eyes, the touch of your hand makes me weak
And my heart may go dizzy and fall
And if I fell under the spell of your call
I would be, caught in the undertow
So you see, I've got to say "No, No"
All or nothing at all

Why Should I Cry Over You?
Why Should I Cry Over You?
Composer(s): Chester Conn; Ned Miller
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra;
and various other artists
I don’t know why I should
Cry over you
Sigh…
Over you
Even be blue
I should have known that you’d leave me alone
And break my heart in two
Although you have left me alone to pine
And all my love was a [big fat] waste of time
Someday your heart will be broken like mine
So why should I cry over you
(x2)
You broke my heart, you took it apart
So pack up your bags and beat it
Why should I cry over yooouuuuuu?

I thought you'd listen to my reasons

All or nothing, mm yeah, all or nothing, you got to keep on tryin'
all or nothing, mm, for me, for me, for me.....

Why Should I Care?
Why Should I Care?
Composer(s): Clint Eastwood;
Carole Bayer Sager; Linda Thompson-Jenner
Performer(s): Diana Krall;
Kenny Colman; Laura Theodore; Jim Widner
Was there something more I could have done?
Or was I not meant to be the one?
Where's the life I thought we would share?
And should I care?
And will someone else get more of you?
Will she go to sleep more sure of you?
Will she wake up knowing you're still there?
And why should I care?
There's always one to turn and walk away
And one who just wants to stay
But who said that love is always fair?
And why should I care?
Should I leave you alone here in the dark?
Holding my broken heart
While a promise still hangs in the air
Why should I care?

All Or Nothing (Cher)
All Or Nothing
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Performer(s): Cher
I've been calling your name
Got that lonely feeling again
Calling out your name
Do you hear me? Do you want me?
Baby it's all or nothing now
I don't want to run
And I can't walk out
You're breaking my heart
If you leave me now
Don't wanna wait for ever
Who do you think you're fooling
Who do you think you're fooling
Baby it's all or nothing
Baby it' all or nothing
Baby it' all or nothing now
I've been trying to get to your heart
But I'm chasing shadows
We keep falling further apart
So near you're so far
Do you care now? Do you know how?
Baby it's all or nothing now
I don't want to run and I can't walk but
Breaking my heart if you leave me now
Don't want to wait forever
Who do you think you're fooling
Who do you think you're fooling
Baby it's all or nothing
Baby it's all or nothing now

Composer(s): Pete Townshend
Performer(s): The Who;
and various other artists
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

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

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

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
