Breaking Up My Heart
Breaking Up My Heart
Composer(s): Bobby Heatlie
Performer(s): Shakin' Stevens
Ev'rything you say
ev'rything you do
Always seems to put me down - put me down
Is there something wrong
do I still belong?
Is it just a run-around? Run-around?
Don't say he's not the reason why
'Cos when I lie awake
it's his name I hear you cry
Thought he'd left your mind
And that only time stood between your fantasy - fantasy
Guess I always knew he'd be haunting you
Stealing what you had from me - had for me
I can't stand here and let it die
Ev'ry step you take
I'll be there right by your side
'Cos it's breaking up my heart
feel like dying
Breaking up my heart
feel like crying
Tell him where to go
show the man the door
'Cos ev'rything you do is breaking up my heart
I won't let you go
baby
never know
Can't you get it through your head? Through your head?
I won't set you free
you belong to me
What he had for you is dead - love is dead
Love burns fire that never cools
Don't you know that love hurts people who break the rules?
'Cos it's breaking up my heart
feel like dying
I can't stand here and let it die
Ev'ry step you take
I'll be there right by your side
I won't let you go
oh
you never know
Breaking up my heart
feel like dying
Breaking up my heart
feel like crying
Tell him where to go
show the man the door
'Cos ev'rything you do is breaking
breaking
Breaking up my heart
breaking up my heart
Tell him where to go
show the man the door
'Cos ev'rything you do is breaking
breaking
Breaking up my heart
feel like dying
Breaking up my heart
feel like crying

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
French Title: Moi Je Pense Encore À Toi
Composer(s): Neil Sedaka; Howard Greenfield
Originally performed by: Neil Sedaka
Covered by various other artists
Don't take your love away from me
Don't you leave my heart in misery
If you go then I'll be blue
'Cause breaking up his hard to do
Remember when you held me tight
And you kissed me all through the night
Think of all that we've been through
Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
They say that breaking up is hard to do
Now I know, I know that it's true
Don't say that this is the end
Instead of breaking up I wish that we were making up again
I beg of you, don't say goodbye
Can't we give our love another try
Come on baby, let's start a new
'Cause breaking up is hard to do

First release by: The Peerless Quartet - 1911
Covered by multiple other artists
I am dreaming Dear of you
Day by day
Dreaming when the skies are blue
When they're gray
When the silv'ry moonlight gleams
Still I wander on in dreams
In a land of love, it seems
Just with you
Let me call you "Sweetheart"
I'm in love with you
Let me hear you whisper that you love me too
Keep the love-light glowing in your eyes so true
Let me call you "Sweetheart"
I'm in love with you
Longing for you all the while
More and more
Longing for the sunny smile
I adore
Birds are singing far and near
Roses blooming ev'rywhere
You, alone, my heart can cheer
You, just you
Let me call you "Sweetheart"
I'm in love with you
Let me hear you whisper that you love me too
Keep the love-light glowing in your eyes so true
Let me call you "Sweetheart"
I'm in love with you

Breaking All The Rules
Breaking All The Rules
Composer(s): Peter Frampton; Keith Reid
Performer(s): Peter Frampton; Ratos de Porão
We are the people one and all
From deliverance to the fall
From the battle and the heat
To our triumph and defeat
We are the young ones crying out
Full of anger full of doubt
And we're breaking all of the rules
Never choosing to be fools
We are tired of being used
We are constantly excused
In the battle and the heat
In the shadow of retreat
We are the young ones crying out
Full of anger full of doubt
And we're breaking all of the rules
Never choosing to be fools
We are the people one and all
From deliverance to the fall
From the bitter to the brave
From the cradle to the grave
We are the young ones crying out
Full of anger full of doubt
And we're breaking all of the rules
Never choosing to be fools

Achille ... Pourquoi T'As D'La Moustache?
Achille ... Pourquoi T'As D'La Moustache?
Composer(s): P. Muray; F. Dolys; Hermany
Performer(s): Annie Duparc
Lorsque maman m'a dit: «Je t'ai trouvé un beau parti»
Et qu'elle te présenta, sans discuter j'ai dit: «Ça va»
Tu as l'air de m'aimer et moi j't'adore de mon côté
Mais avant de t'épouser j'ai une question à te poser
Achille pourquoi t'as d'la moustache?
Dis-le moi ça me fera plaisir
Achille, vois-tu, il faut qu'je sache
À quoi qu'ça peut bien servir
J'voudrais qu'tu m'expliques
Si c'est vrai qu'ça pique
Dans les moments pathétiques
Tiens-moi au courant
Dis-moi si vraiment
Ça chatouille en embrassant
Je sais évidemment
Que les belles dames de 1900
Tenaient infiniment à la charmeuse de leur galant
Une paire de belles bacchantes
Ça les rendait toute frémissante
Mais toi pour m'enjôler
T'as pas b'soin de t'les faire pousser
Achille pourquoi t'as d'la moustache?
Dis-le moi ça me fera plaisir
Achille, vois-tu, il faut qu'je sache
À quoi qu'ça peut bien servir
J'voudrais qu'tu m'expliques
Si c'est vrai qu'ça pique
Dans les moments pathétiques
Tiens-moi au courant
Dis-moi si vraiment
Ça chatouille en embrassant
Je n'sais si c'est l'effet
De ta moustache mais c'est un fait
Je me mets à loucher
Sur tous les hommes que j'vois passer
Et quand un moustachu
Vient à m'croiser je n'y tiens plus
J'ai peine à m'empêcher
D'aller vers lui pour lui d'mander
Monsieur pourquoi t'as d'la moustache?
Dis-le moi ça me fera plaisir
Oh monsieur, vois-tu, il faut qu'je sache
À quoi qu'ça peut bien servir
J'voudrais qu'tu m'expliques
Si c'est vrai qu'ça pique
Dans les moments pathétiques
Tiens-moi au courant
Dis-moi si vraiment
Ça chatouille en embrassant
Achille, Achille, Achille
Dis-moi pourquoi
Achille!

Morena
Morena
Composer(s): J.C. Costa Netto - André Luiz Oliveira
Performer(s): Maria Bethânia
Morena
Com que força você diz: morena
E aperta o meu corpo contra o seu
Sereno, seu olhar me leva ao delírio
Misterioso brilho
Da noite sem luar
Morena
A paixão só pode ser morena
Tranquila e perigosa feito o mar
E mesmo que eu naufrague,
Sempre vale a pena
Tempestade amena
Que me faz navegar
Meu bem, que estranha correnteza
Que da ilusão da terra firme
Quer me afastar
Que domina, aprisiona e me devora
E me arrasta mar afora
Pra me libertar
Morena
Não desejo mais que a cor morena
Que ilumina a cena
E me ensina amar

Wherever you go
Wherever you may wonder in your life
Well surely you know, I always wanna be there
Holding your hand
And standing by to catch you when you fall
Seeing you through, in everything you do
I said let me be there in your morning
Let me be there in your night
Let me change whatever's wrong and make it right
Let me take you to that wonderland that only two can share
All I ask you, is let me be there
Watching you grow
And going through the changes in your life
That's how I know, I always wanna to be there
Whenever you feel you need a friend to lean on
Here I am
Whenever you call, you know I'll be there
I said let me be there in your morning
Let me be there in your night
Let me change whatever's wrong and make it right
Let me take you to that wonderland that only two can share
All I ask you, is let me be there
Let me be there in your morning
Let me be there in your night
Let me change whatever's wrong and make it right
Let me take you to that wonderland that only two can share
All I ask you, is let me be there
All I ask you is let me be there
I said let me be there in your morning
Let me be there in your night
Let me change whatever's wrong and make it right
Let me take you to that wonderland that only two can share
All I ask you, is let me be there
All I ask you is let me be there

Some sleepless night
if you should find yourself alone
Let me be the one you run to
Let me be the one you come to

Let me be the one
To set things right
when this old world's turned upside down
Let me be the one you run to
Let me be the one you come to
when you need someone to turn to
Let me be the one
For love and understanding
to find a quiet place
For silent understanding
a loving touch
Come to me when things go wrong
and there's no love to light the way
Let me be the one you run to
Let me be the one you come to
when you need someone to turn to
Let me be the one

Success (Loretta Lynn)
Success ((aka Success Has Made A Failure Of Our Home (by Sinéad O'Connor) - 1992))
Composer(s): John Mullins
First release by: Loretta Lynn - 1962
We used to go out walkin' hand in hand
You told me all the big things you had planned
It wasn't long 'till all your dreams came true
Success put me in second place with you
You have no time to love me any more
Since fame and fortune knocked upon our door
Now I spend all my evenings all alone
Success had made a failure of our home
If we could share an evening now and then
Perhaps we'd find true happiness again
You never hold me like you used to do
It's funny what success has done to you
You have no time to love me any more
Since fame and fortune knocked upon our door
Now I spend all my evenings all alone
Success has made a failure of our home

Let Me Be
Let Me Be
Composer(s): P.F. Sloan
Performer(s): The Turtles
Please don't mistake me or try to make me
The shadow of anybody else
I ain't the him or her you think I am
I'm just trying hard to be myself
Oh, society's goal is to be part of the whole
That may sound good to you, not to me
Let me be, let me be
To think like I want to
Let me be, let me be
That's all I ask of you
I am what I am and that's all I ever can be
Don't try to plan me or understand me
I can't stand to be understood
I could never give in to or ever live up to
Being like you think I should
I've got some inner need which I'm tryin' to heed
I can't take hand-me-down destiny
Let me be, let me be,
To think like I want to
Let me be, let me be
That's all I ask of you
I am what I am and that's all I ever can be
Don't try to change me or rearrange me
To satisfy the selfishness of you
I'm not a piece of clay to mold to your moves each day
And I'm not a pawn to be told how to move
I'm sorry I'm not the fool you thought would play by your rules
But to-each-his-own philosophy
Let me be, let me be
To think like I want to
Let me be, let me be
That's all I ask of you
I am what I am and that's all I ever can be
I said that's all I ever can be
I said that's all I ever can be
I said that's all I ever can be

Let me, let me, let me

Breakin' Up Is Breakin' My Heart
Breakin' Up Is Breakin' My Heart
Composer(s): Bill Dees; Roy Orbison
Performer(s): Roy Orbison; Truly Lover Trio
I wonder why you threw your diary away
When you walk back I nearly die
What can I say
Things were fine, you were mine just yesterday
Now we're apart
Breaking up is breaking my heart
I find myself alone at night, and then I cry
No tenderness
My happiness just said goodbye
Now your gone, and I'm alone
I wonder why we had to part
Breaking up is breaking my heart
Baby, breaking up is breaking my heart
The love affair we used to share
Is cold, and still I loved you then
I love you now, I always will
The day that you found someone new
My lonely world just fell apart
Out of your arms drives me out of my mind
Baby, breaking up is breaking my heart
