Nobody Else In The World But You


Nobody Else In The World But You
Composer(s): Don Henley; Jai Winding; Stan Lynch
Performer(s): Don Henley



You live in a house of mirrors
Reflecting your splendid isolation
You have so much of everything
Except for true consideration
The way you dance
The way you walk
The way you drive
The way you talk
The way you eat
The way you drink
The way you act
The way that you don’t think

It’s like there’s
Nobody else in the world but you
Nobody else in the world
Nobody else in the world but you
In case you haven’t noticed
There’s lots of other people here, too

Hey now, did your momma teach you anything?
Some things still got to be respected
Is it a sign of the times, or is it just your callous heart?
How did you get so disconnected?

The way you push
The way you shove
The way you hate
The way you love
The lies you spin
The scenes you make
The grief you give
The space you take
It’s like there’s

Nobody else in the world but you
Nobody else in the world
Nobody else in the world but you
In case you haven’t noticed
There’s lots of other people here, too

And now it’s time you did a little giving, baby
The world is not your plaything, no, no, no

(Solo)

Nobody else in the world but you
Nobody else in the world
Nobody else in the world but you
In case you haven’t noticed
There’s lots of other people here

Nobody else in the world but you
Nobody else in the world
It’s like there’s nobody else in the world but you
In case you haven’t noticed there are lots of other people here, too

Nobody Else But Me


Nobody Else But Me
Composer(s): Jerome Kern; Oscar Hammerstein II
Performer(s): Jimmy Raney;
and various other artists



I want to be no one but me
I am in love with a lady who likes me the way I am
I have my faults, she likes my faults
I'm not very bright, she's not very bright

She thinks I'm grand, that's grand for me
She may be wrong but if we get along
"What do we care?", say we
Walking on the shore, swimming in the sea
When I am with her, I'm glad the boy who's with her
Is nobody else but me

She thinks I'm grand, that's grand for me
She may be wrong but if we get along
"What do we care?", say we

Walking on the shore, swimming in the sea
When I am with her, I'm glad the boy who's with her
Is nobody else but me
When I am with her, I'm glad the boy who's with her
Is nobody else but me

Nobody Does It Like Me


Nobody Does It Like Me
Composer(s): Cy Coleman; Dorothy Fields
Performer(s): Shirley Bassey;
Michele Lee; Martine McCutcheon



If there's a wrong way to do it
A wrong way to play it
Nobody does it like me
If there's a wrong way to do it

A right way to screw it up
Nobody does it like me
I've got a big loud mouth

I'm always talking much to free
If you go for tact and manners
Better stay away from me
If there's a wrong way to keep it cool
A right way to be a fool
Nobody does it like me
I hear a love song or ballad

I toss like a salad
Nobody tosses like me
And when my evenings get tougher

I just take two bufferin'
And drink a hot cup of tea
Last night I met an old acquaintance
At a fancy corner pub
He said: Come on, let's have some supper
So he used my credit-club
If there's a wrong way to take a guy
The worst way to make a guy
Nobody does it like me
If there's a wrong bell, I ring it

A wrong note, I sing it
Nobody does it like me
If there's a problem, I duck it

I don't solve it, I just muck it up
Nobody does it like me
As though I try to be a lady

I'm no lady, I'm a frog
And when I talk like I'm a lady
What I sound like is a frog
If there's a wrong way to get a guy
The right way to lose a guy
Nobody does it like me
Nobody does it

No, nobody does it
Nobody does it like me
Nobody does it like me

Nobody Does It Better


Nobody Does It Better
Composer(s): Marvin Hamlisch; Carol Bayer Sager
Performer(s): Carly Simon;
and various other artists



Nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it half as good as you
Baby you're the best

I wasn't looking
But somehow you found me
I tried to hide from your love light
But like heaven above me
The spy who loved me
Is keeping all my secrets safe tonight

And nobody does it better
Though sometimes I wish someone could
Nobody does it quite the way you do
Why d'you have to be so good?

The way that you hold me, whenever you hold me
There's some kind of magic inside you
That keeps me from running
But just keep it coming
How d'you learn to do the things you do?

And nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it half as good as you
Baby baby
Baby you're the best...

Nobody Cares If I'm Blue


Nobody Cares If I'm Blue
Composer(s): Harry Akst; Grant Clarke
Performer(s): Leon Redbone - 1985;
and various other artists



Nobody knows, nobody cares if I'm lonesome
Nobody sighs, nobody cries if I'm blue

It seems that night after night
I sit alone and twiddle my thumbs
But still I keep right on hopin', keep the door open
But nobody comes

Ain't it a crime, kisses of mine are just wasted
Since I'm so blue, I'm singin' what'll I do, boo hoo
Like a plaything on the shelf, guess I'll have to be by myself
Nobody knows, nobody cares if I'm blue

Nobody knows, nobody cares if I'm lonesome
Nobody sighs, nobody cries if I'm blue

I sit at home constantly
My company is just the four walls
But still I keep right on hopin', keep the door open
But nobody calls

Ain't it a crime, kisses of mine are just wasted
Since I'm so blue, I'm singin' what'll I do
When it comes to happiness, guess I'll have to settle for less
Nobody knows, nobody cares if I'm blue

When it comes to happiness
Guess I'll have to settle for less
Nobody knows, nobody cares if I'm blue

Nobody (The Doobie Brothers)


Nobody
Composer(s): Tom Johnston
Performer(s): The Doobie Brothers



Evil ways of practice may surround you
callin' on your inner core of life
But your father was just a complex man of business
and your mother merely portioned out your fright
You're gonna run the risk of a sudden loss
you got no mama to bear your cross beside you
Uh-huh, uh-huh
As midnight angels shine their wings
and time begins just to build a wall all around you

Nobody, nobody gonna take my love away from me
Nobody, nobody gonna take my love away from me

Settin' out on a voyage down to Jenner
givin' all I've got to help the cause
Need a place just to settle out my pressures
a place where you and I can sit and pause
So I can see the sky at night
without a fear of a hidden light to blind me
Mm-mm
So you see the path is here
and changes will be swayed around me

Nobody, nobody gonna take my love away from me
Nobody, nobody gonna take my love away from me

Nobody, nobody gonna take my love away from me
Nobody, nobody gonna take my love away from me

Nobody (Sylvia)


Nobody
Composer(s): Kye Fleming; Dennis Morgan
Performer(s): Sylvia



Sittin' in a restaurant
She walked by
I seemed to recall
That certain look in your eye
I said, "Who's that?"
You said, with a smile
"Aah, it's nobody"
Aah, nobody

Maybe that explains the last two weeks
You called me up, dead on your feet
Working late again
I asked who with
You said, "Nobody"
Aah, nobody

Well your nobody called today
She hung up when I asked her name
Well, I wonder
Does she think she's being clever
(Clever, ooh, ooh)
You say nobody's after you
The fact is what you say is true
But I can love you like nobody can
Even better

Late last night we went for a drive
You were miles away
I asked, "Who's on your mind?"
You said, "Nobody, (nobody)
Why do you ask"
Oh, her again
I could've told you that

We came back home
Got ready for bed
I said to myself
I've got one shot left
Your still mine and I won't stand in line
Behind nobody
Nobody

Well, your nobody called today
She hung up when I asked her name
Well, I wonder does she think she's being clever
(Clever, ohh, ohh)
You say nobody's after you
The fact is what you say is true
But I can love you like nobody can
Even better

Well, your nobody called today
She hung up when I asked her name
Well, I wonder does she think she's being clever
(Clever, ohh, ohh)
You say nobody's after you
The fact is what you say is true
But I can love you like nobody can
Even better...

Nobody (Bert Williams)


Nobody
Composer(s): Alex Rogers; Bert Williams;
and various other artists



When life seems full of clouds and rain
And I am full of nothin' and pain
Who soothes my thumping, bumping brain, uummm?
Nobody!

When winter comes with snow and sleet
And me with hunger and cold feet
Who says, "Here's twenty-five cents, go ahead and get somethin' to eat, go on why doncha"?
Nobody!

I ain't never done nothin' to nobody
I ain't never done nothin' to nobody, no time
So until I get somethin' from somebody sometime
I'll never do nothin' for nobody, no time

When I was in that railroad wreck
And thought I'd cashed in my last check
Who took the engine off my neck?
Nobody!

One time when things was lookin' bright
I started to whittle on a stick one night
Who cried out, "Stop now, that's dynamite"?
Not a soul!

I ain't never done nothin' to nobody
I ain't never done nothin' to nobody, no time
So until I get something from somebody, sometime
I'll never do nothin' for nobody, no time

----------


As performed by Jimmy Dean:



When life seems full of clouds and rain
And I am filled with nought but pain
Who soothes my thumpin' bumpin' brain........ Nobody!

When winter comes with snow and sleet
And me with hunger and cold feet
Who says, "Here's two bits, go eat"........ Nobody!

I ain't never done nothin' to nobody
And I ain't never got nothin' from nobody, no time
And until I get somethin' from somebody sometime
I don't intend to do nothin' for nobody, no time

When I'm tryin' hard and schemin' a plan
To do the very best I can
Who says, "Look at that handsome man"........ Nobody!

Well all day long things go amiss
And I go home to find some bliss
Who's waitin' there with a lovin' kiss........ Nobody!

I ain't never done nothin' to nobody
And I ain't never got nothin' from nobody, no time
And until I get somethin' from somebody sometime
I don't intend to do nothin' for nobody, no time

No puede ser cobarde el que perdona
a un amor que es malo y traicionero
El amor es dolor cuando es sincero
vergüenza no es llorar, vergüenza no es llorar
porque te quiero

Toda mujer bonita será traidora
porque al hombre valiente lo hace cobarde

Por su traición el alma quise arrancarle
pero al tenerla cerca volví a besarle
porque también bonita, porque también bonita
era mi madre

Por su traición el alma quise arrancarle
pero al tenerla cerca volví a besarle
porque también bonita, porque también bonita
era mi madre

Noah (Harry Belafonte)


Noah
Composer(s): Harry Belafonte; Bill Attaway
Performer(s): Harry Belafonte



Brothers?
Yeah
Sisters?
Yeah
Says here in Genesis, one chapter one
In the beginning God made the earth
And also says here in Genesis, six chapter six
That the children of Israel were sinning, a sinning
What did I say? They were a sinning
That's exactly what I said
And when God saw them sinning
It hurt Him to his heart, it hurt Him so bad
It made Him mad, it made Him so mad he was angry
And when God got angry the sky turned dark
And it was than that he told Noah to build the ark
Who built the ark, Noah
Who built the ark, Noah
Who built the ark, Noah, Noah
Noah built that ark
Children stop to steel, listen to me
God walked down by the Briny sea
Beheld evil of the sinful men
Declared that he would destroy the land
Spoke to Noah Brother Noah stopped
He said look a here Noah build me an ark
Won't you build it big and strong
Build it 300 cubic long, 30 high, about 50 wide
I want it to stand my rain and tide
On this day I make my mark
In a 100 years I want that ark
Knocking thru with this evil land
Not a living thing is gonna stand
Except the things that I tell to you
That I gonna need , when the world is new
I've been east and I've been west
I decided to put this world at rest
I've been up and I've been down
Nothing but evil all around
I've seen brother turn against brother
Up this high and it'll go no further
Women weep and children mourn
Sorry the day that men was born
Sinful people one by one
Sorry the day my wrath begun
Sorry the day my wrath begun
Sorry the day my wrath begun
Sorry the day my wrath begun
'Cause it's gonna rain
'Cause it's gonna rain
'Cause it's gonna rain
'Cause it's gonna rain
And all this land is my land
Not a living thing is gonna stand
'Cause it's gonna rain
'Cause it's gonna rain
'Cause it's gonna rain
'Cause it's gonna rain

Who built the ark? Noah. Yeah
Who built the ark? Noah. Yeah
Who built the ark? Noah Noah
Noah built the ark
When after God told him what to do
Then the work began cut and hew
Ringing o´ the hammer was "judgment"
Ringing o´ the saw "God said repent"
100 years he hammered and sawed
Building the ark by the grace of God
After the foundation was laid
Hewed down the timber and the ark was made
Called in the animals two by two
There was the Ox, the Camel and the Kangaroo
Hallowed in the monkey and the crocodile
He even made the animals they couldn't smile
Packed them in the ark so tight
The Owl couldn't get no sleep at night
Called in Japheth and Shem and Ham
God began to flood the land
Raised his hand to heaven on high
And knocked that sun and the moon from the sky
Shook the mountains and disturbed the sea
Hitched his reins to his Chariot Wheel
Stepped on land and stood out on shore
Declared this time couldn't be no more
'Cause it's gonna rain
'Cause it’s gonna rain
'Cause it’s gonna rain
'Cause it’s gonna rain

Noah (Frank Sinatra)


Noah
Composer(s): Joe Raposo
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra



The world's a tiny blue-green ark
Afloat in darkest space.
And every creature lives his time
And knows his special place
And each of us is Noah

With a life all in our care
To keep against the darkness
That's flooding everywhere

We've got to walk with the lion
Soar with the eagle
Sing with the nightingale
And live in love and peace

The times have made us fearful
And our fears have brought the tears
The loneliness and darkness
Have grown bitter with the years
But a light is just beyond us
and the children almost see
A world that we've forgotten
And the world they want to be

When we walk with the lion
Soar with the eagle
Sing with the nightingale
And live in love and peace

The ark is getting crowded now
And each of us must know
When everything is finished here
There's nowhere else to go
The beasts are here to bless us
And the faith is in their eyes
That we can find the garden
And see that sweet dawn rise

And we can walk with the lion
Soar with the eagle
Sing with the nightingale
And live in love and peace

We've got to walk with the lion
Soar with the eagle
Sing with the nightingale
And live in love and peace

I can't be with you tonight

You are the one

No, You're Not Broken


No, You're Not Broken
Composer(s): Meridian Green; Gene Parsons
Performer(s): Gene Parsons



You've got bets on every number
The wheel is set to spin
You still won't let the game get started
You'll never lose but you'll never win
No you're not broken no you're not broken
You're only stumbling around
No you're not broken no you're not broken
You're only hurting and proud
Climbing down mountains you made out of molehills
Down to the chasm below
Till you cop to the fact that you're hurting
You'll never cry but you'll never know
No you're not broken no you're not broken
You're only stumbling around
No you're not broken no you're not broken
You're only hurting and proud
Count dancing angels on the head of a pin
Never asking why
Answers before you, you cannot see
You're blind with tears in your eyes
No you're not broken no you're not broken
You're only stumbling around
No you're not broken no you're not broken
You're only hurting and proud

I don't want my arms around you, no not much
I don't bless the day I found you, no not much
I don't need you like the stars don't need the sky
I won't love you longer than the day I die

You don't please me when you squeeze me, no not much
My heads the lightest from your very slightest touch
Baby, if you ever go could I take it maybe so
Ah but would I like it, no not much

Like a ten cent soda dosen't cost a dime
I don't want you near me only all time

You don't thrill me when you hold me, no not much
My brain gets hazy from your cool and crazy touch
Baby if you ever go could I take it maybe so
Oh but would I like it, no not much
No not much

No, Non Mi Scorderò Mai


No, Non Mi Scorderò Mai
English & French Titles:
No, I Could Never Forget; Non, Je N'Ai Rien Oublié
Composer(s): Calabrese; Charles Aznavour; Georges Garvarentz
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Non credevo più
Di incontrarmi con te
Ma la fatalità
Predispone le cose
E si rifà con te
Dopo che ti ha deluso
No, non mi scorderò mai
Ti sorrido perché
Sto accorgendomi che
Se il tempo, quando può
L'altra gente sfigura
Non ha cambiato in te
Che la pettinatura
No, non mi scorderò mai
Niente di te
Sposarmi? Io? E con chi?
Non diciamo eresie
Amo la libertà
E poi tra me e te
Eran donne così
Soltanto in parte mie
Ma fermiamoci ad un bar
E parlami di te
Cosa fai? Come stau?
Vivi sola... Perché?
Sei divisa da lui...
Ma come andò che andò male?
Son sicuro che i tuoi
Saran morti di bile
No, non mi scorderò mai
Che, non si paerché
Il caso e niente più
Ci mettesse di fronte
E ti portasse a me
Da un passato distante
No, non mi scorderò mai
Cosa dirti non so
Il ricordo di noi
Mi ha confuso le idee
Fin dal primo minuto
E io rivedo in te
La guerra che ho perduto
Non mi scorderò mai
Niente di te
L'amore era per me
La mia unica arma
Quando avevano i tuoi
Ben altre velleità
Contro cui grande o no
Un amore disarma
Et ti hanno data a chi
Ti dava più di me
Ti ho cercata, ma
Tu, tu non uscivi mai
Quante volte, non so
Ti ho scritto ed aspettata
Non hai risposto mai
E vi ho rinunciato

No, non lo scorderò mai
E' già tardi oramai
Qui ci mandiamo via
Ti accompagno se vuoi
Mentre l'alba è in attesa
Come al tempo remoto
Dei baci sotto casa
No, non lo scorderò mai
Quel tempo era per noi
Il tempo dell'amore
Non temevamo mai
Né inverno né autunno
Era estate per noi
Ogni giorno dell'anno
No, non mi scorderò mai niente, niente di noi

Non sai quanto mi dà
La tua sola presenza
Non immagini più
Il bene che mi fa
Immergermi con te
Nella mia adolescenza
Risalire con te
A tanto tempo fa
Io vorrei...
Se tu vuoi...
Rivedermi con te...
Non insisto...
Però...
Così...
Se lo ritieni...
Se ne hai voglia anche tu...
Se non hai altri impegni...
Se ti ricordi anche tu
Come me, che non scorderò mai

No, I Could Never Forget


No, I Could Never Forget
French & Italian Titles:
Non, Je N'Ai Rien Oublié; No, Non Mi Scorderò Mai
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Georges Garvarentz; Morrison
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



I never really thought, we’d ever meet again
But faith deals out the hands
we must take what it has chosen
When in an idle glance you appeared, I was frozen
No, I could never forget

I look upon your face, I can’t believe my eyes
Passing times often cruel, it fades youth like a flower
But you have never changed, where the years but an hour?
No, I could never forget, never forget

Married, me?
Heavens no, I’m still single, but happy
To be free, unattached and between you and me
better that than unmatched, though at times I feel lonely
But enough about me, let’s drink to you and life
How have you been all these years?
Are you happy and well?
No? I guess I could tell and your marriage it’s ended
Do your parents regret?
That’s not what they intended
No, I could never forget

Who could have ever known, without a single word
that we’d come face to face?
There’d not been any reason
I thought all things must die, as a time or a season
No, I could never forget

I don’t know what to say, it’s like some crazy dream
the way the past returns, all my memories unbroken
Yes, I remember too every word that was spoken
No, I could never forget, never forget

Youth, a foolish age, we thought love was our treasure
But your father said no
you would marry someone with a position and name
you’d receive life’s full measure
And he said with a smile, I’m sure you understand?
So, with love in our eyes, we exchanged love-goodbyes
But your father was shrewd
all my unanswered letters forced me soon to conclude
things had worked for the better
No, I could never forget

The hour is getting late, this place is closing down
Come, yes come I’ll walk you home
through the streets dark and empty
like in our foolish days of kisses stolen nightly
No, I could never forget

Each season was for us a season for our love
and we were not afraid as autumn turned to winter
As long as there’s youth, it is springtime forever
No, no I could never forget, never forget

It’s strange, the warmth I feel in these moments together
We’ve recaptured the time in the midst of our youth
when two hearts were in line and were light as a feather
But we both know the truth : we must live for today
So, alas, if I may, if you’d like me to stay?
If this time we can share what the past was concealing
If you’re lonely and care, if you have the same feeling
If, you’re remembering yet
all the things I could never forget

No! No! A Thousand Times No!


No! No! A Thousand Times No!
Composer(s): Al Sherman; Al Lewis; Abner Silver
Performer(s): Annette Hanshaw



She was a child of the valley
An innocent maiden was she
He was a desperate Desmond
Who owned all the town property
He would pursue her through hills and through dells
But she was wise to his game
Each time he threatened "You'll wed me or else"
These were the words she'd exclaim....

"No! No! A thousand times no!
You cannot buy my caress!
No! No! A thousand times no!
I'd rather die than say yes"

Ah! but this poisonous villain
He wouldn't leave her alone
Said, "Either join me in wedlock
Or I'll kick you out of your home"
She knew her people so feeble and old
Needed a roof o'er their heads
Winter would soon bring the snow and the cold
Yet she defied him and said....

"No! No! A thousand times no!
You cannot buy my caress!
No! No! A thousand times no!
I'd rather die than say yes"

That night he crept up to her window
And oh! how that villain could creep
He stole her out of her boudoir
And kidnapped her while fast asleep
He tied the gal to the old railroad track
The milk train was rushing down the hill
She cried to him, "Though my future looks black
You buzzard, my answer is still....

No! No! A thousand times no!
You cannot buy my caress!
No! No! A thousand times no!
I'd rather die than say yes"

Now she loved the young village blacksmith
A muscular young "he-man" was he
He heard that his love was in danger
And right to the rescue flew he
He grabbed his darling in "thee" nick of time
And yelled, "This is my future wife!"
The villain sneered, "Blacksmith, that maiden is mine!"
The hero cried, "Not on your life!"....

"No! No! A thousand times no!
You cannot buy my caress!
No! No! A thousand times no!
I'd rather die than say yes"

Now this is the end of our story
Her honor was left without stain
The hero took her to the altar
The villain was foiled once again
The mortgage was paid and the handsome young swain
Moved in with her folks right away
Their life is contented though simple and plain
And no more will she have to say....

"No! No! A thousand times no!
You cannot buy my caress!
No! No! A thousand times no!
I'd rather die than say yes"

No Way Out


No Way Out
Composer(s): Peter Wolf; Ina Wolf
Performer(s): Jefferson Starship



No intentions
Whatsoever
I was gone for a night
Nothing's forever
The cruel daylight
Brought me back to my senses
(Back to my senses)
Got caught in here
Under false pretenses

No way out
None whatever
I made up the story
Thought it was clever
She didn't ask
And I got no reply
(Got no reply)
But later that night
I heard her cry

No way out
She doesn't buy my story
No way out
She doesn't buy my story
No way out
She doesn't buy my story

No accusations
Whatsoever
But can she forget
Nothing's forever
Since yesterday
She's a little bit colder
(Little bit colder)
Won't happen again
What could I've told her

No way out
She doesn't buy my story
No way out
She doesn't buy my story
No way out
She doesn't buy my story
Doesn't buy my story

How can she tell the truth from the lies
How does she know when to close her eyes
She doesn't want to lose me
So she only sees what she wants to see

No way out
She doesn't buy my story
No way out
She doesn't buy my story
No way out
She doesn't buy my story
No way out
No way out
No way out
