Nothing But Heartaches


Nothing But Heartaches
Composer(s): Brian Holland; Lamont Dozier; Edward Holland Jr.
Performer(s): Diana Ross & The Supremes



Nothing but heartaches
Ooh, nothing but heartaches
He brings nothing but heartaches
I can't break away from his arms
I can't break away from his charms
I can't break away from his kiss
'Cause his kiss I'll shouldn't miss

All my life
I needed someone to need me
So I do my very best to please him
But the more and more I care
The more of him other girls share
When I need a hand to hold
That's the time he leaves me all alone
Just keeps me, keeps me crying myself to sleep

He brings nothing but heartaches
Ooh, nothing but heartaches
But I can't break away
Oh, no keep a loving him more each day
Oh, I can't break away from his arms
I can't break away from his charms
I can't break away from his kiss
'Cause his kiss I'll shouldn't miss

To him I'm loyal, to him I'm true
Why can't he be the same way too
But the more my love has grown
The less love he had shown

He makes promisses he doesn't keep
Sometimes I don't see him all week
Just keeps me, keeps me crying myself to sleep

He brings nothing but heartaches
Ooh, nothing but heartaches
But I can't break away
Oh, no keep a loving him more each day
Oh, I can't break away from his arms
I can't break away from his charms
I can't break away from his kiss
'Cause his kiss I'll shouldn't miss

Nothing but heartaches
Ooh, nothing but heartaches
I can't break away, oh no
Keep a loving him more each day

Nothin' Shakin'


Nothin' Shakin'
Performer(s): Craig Douglas & Doug Sheldon; The Beatles



I tried to find out
what love is all about
and every day
it sure lets out
I see my baby
I get week in my knees
There's nothing shaking
but the leaves on the trees
My pappie told me
there'd be times like these
There's nothing shaking
but the leaves on the trees
We meet the gang
and go to rocking Joes
The cats are something
on the heels and toes
I grab my baby
tried to give her a squeeze
There's nothing shaking
but the leaves on the trees
Why must she be
such a doggone tease?
There's nothing shaking
but the leaves on the trees
She's got a way
that makes me act like a fool
Spent my money
then she plays me cool
I beg her for kisses
on my bended knees
Oh won't you give me
some loving, baby
please please please
Though I keep trying hard
to make her mine
one day the wind will blow
and the sun will shine
Till that time
she puts my heart at ease
There's nothing shaking
but the leaves on the trees
She locked my heart
and threw away the keys
There's nothing shaking
but the leaves on the trees, yeah
She's got a way
that makes me act like a fool
Spent my money
then she plays me cool
I'm begging her for kisses
on my bended knees
Oh won't you give me
some of your loving, baby
please please please
Though I keep trying hard
to make her mine
one day the wind will blow
and the sun will shine
Till that time
she puts my heart at ease
There's nothing shaking
but the leaves on the trees
She locked my heart
and threw away the keys
There's nothing shaking
but the leaves on the trees
There's nothing shaking
but the leaves on the trees
There's nothing shaking
but the leaves on the trees
There's nothing shaking
but the leaves on the trees

Nothin' But You


Nothin' But You
Composer(s): Steve Earle
Performer(s): Steve Earle;
Hillbilly Moon Explosion; Robin Lee



Daddy used to tell me "Don't you drag your feet"
"Never seen a good intention that a man could eat"
Well, I got about a million things I need to do
I don't wanna think about nothin' but you

Everybody talk about Maybellene
Yellow Rose Of Texas and the Sweet Sixteen
Well, I don't wanna hear about no Peggy Sue
I don't wanna think about nothin' but you

I don't need no money, no fancy car
House up on the hill where all the rich folks are
Well, they can have the whiskey, keep the cocaine, too
I don't wanna think about nothin' but you

Everybody talk about Maybellene
Yellow Rose Of Texas and the Sweet Sixteen
Well, I don't wanna hear about no Peggy Sue
I don't wanna think about nothin' but you

Everybody talk about Maybellene
Yellow Rose Of Texas and the Sweet Sixteen
Well, I don't wanna hear about no Peggy Sue
I don't wanna think about nothin' but you

Nothin' At All


Nothin' At All
Composer(s): Mark Mueller
Performer(s): Heart



I would walk home every evening
Through the pyramids of light
I would feed myself on silence
Wash it down with empty nights

Then your innocent distractions
Hit me so hard
My emotional reaction
Caught me off guard

It was nothing at all
Like anything I had felt before
And it was nothing at all
Like I thought no it's so much more
No one else has ever made
Me feel this way
When I asked you how you did it
You just say
It was nothing at all

Now I walk home every evening
And my feet are quick to move
Cause I know my destination
Is a warm and waiting you

From our first communication
It was clear
Any thought of moderation
Would soon disappear

It was nothing at all
Like anything I had felt before
And it was nothing at all
Like I thought no, it's so much more
No one else has ever made
Me feel this way
when I asked you how you did it
You just sayIt was nothing at all

Then your innocent distractions
Hit me so hard
My emotional reaction
Caught me off guard

It was nothing at all
Like anything I had felt before
And it was nothing at all
Like I thought no, it's so much more
No one else has ever made
Me feel this way
When I asked you how you did it
You just say
It was nothing at all

It was nothing at all
It was nothing at all
It was nothing at all
It was nothing at all
It was nothing at all
It was nothing at all

Not Yet


Not Yet
Composer(s): P.G. Wodehouse; Jerome Kern



I cannot see what need there can be
For any other people in the world but you and me
Yes, go where we may
They get in our way
I wish we could contrive it
Now and then to get a word in private!

Each time I start to pour out my heart
Some tactless person comes along and we are driven apart
Life might be, my pet
A lovely duet
But all these folks who bore us
Seem to think that we require a chorus

Oh dear! won't it just be splendid
In the time that's coming soon
When, this weary waiting ended
We start our honeymoon
None near us to see or hear us
The whole wide world we will forget
Oh, what joy to stay in your arms all day
But not yet um-m
Not yet

Not To Touch The Earth


Not To Touch The Earth
Composer(s): John Densmore;
Robbie Krieger; Ray Manzarek; Jim Morrison
Performer(s): The Doors



Not to touch the earth
Not to see the sun
Nothing left to do, but
Run, run, run
Let's run
Let's run

House upon the hill
Moon is lying still
Shadows of the trees
Witnessing the wild breeze
C'mon baby run with me
Let's run

Run with me
Run with me
Run with me
Let's run

The mansion is warm, at the top of the hill
Rich are the rooms and the comforts there
Red are the arms of luxuriant chairs
And you won't know a thing till you get inside

Dead president's corpse in the driver's car
The engine runs on glue and tar
Come on along, not goin' very far
To the East to meet the Czar

Run with me
Run with me
Run with me
Let's run

Whoa!

Some outlaws lived by the side of a lake
The minister's daughter's in love with the snake
Who lives in a well by the side of the road
Wake up, girl, we're almost home

Ya, c'mon!

We should see the gates by mornin'
We should be inside the evenin'

Sun, sun, sun
Burn, burn, burn
Soon, soon, soon
Moon, moon, moon
I will get you
Soon!
Soon!
Soon!

I am the Lizard King
I can do anything

Not Over You Yet


Not Over You Yet
Composer(s): Malik Pendelton; Kenneth "Wally" Kelly
Performer(s): Diana Ross



You were the first who ever brought me out
Showed me what life and love was all about
Gave me things that I never need
You're in my thoughts, my every dream

I found joy in your touch, I miss your kisses
The way you made me blush
Life is cruel now that you're gone
I love you so I can't let go, yeah

Not over you yet
Not trying to forget
The way that you loved me
Not over you yet
Not trying to forget
The way that you loved me

I hate you so for what you done to me
Made me fall in love with no security
I gotta move on move on my life
But it's so hard when you're still on my mind

I found joy in your touch
I miss your kisses the way you made me blush
Life is cruel now that you're gone
I love you so I can't let go
I'm crazy for you

Not over you yet
Not trying to forget
The way that you loved me
Not over you yet
Not trying to forget
The way that you loved me

Not over you yet
Not trying to forget
The way that you loved me
Not over you yet
Not trying to forget
The way that you loved me

I miss your kisses
I miss your touch
I'm crazy for you

Not over you yet
Not trying to forget
The way that you loved me
Not over you yet
Not trying to forget
The way that you loved me

Not over you yet
Not trying to forget
The way that you loved me
Not over you yet
Not trying to forget
The way that you loved me

Not yet
Not over you yet
Not trying to forget
The way that you loved me
Not over you yet
Not trying to forget

Not One Minute More


Not One Minute More
Composer(s): Don Robertson; Hal Blair; Lucille "Lou" Dinning
Performer(s): Della Reese;
Earl Grant; The Isley Brothers; Don Robertson



I'll only love you
as long as the sea
rolls on endlessly
to the shore
I'll love you til then
Not one minute more

I'll only love you
til there's only night
and the sun
the sun gives no light as before
I'm gonna love you til then
Not one minute more

I'm yours, heart and soul, I'm yours
And all that I'll ever possess
But if you should say to me
Will you always be
I'll just have to confess

I'll only love you
as long as the beat
the beat of my heart
can rest me still once more
I can love you til then
Not one minute more
I know I can love you til then
Not one minute more

Not Mine


Not Mine
(aka It's Somebody Else's Moon Above, Not Mine)
Composer(s): Victor Schertzinger; Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): Peggy Lee;
and various other artists



It's somebody else's moon above, not mine
It's somebody else's night for love, not mine
A heart to someone else is a thing that melts
To me it's just a comic Valentine
Let somebody else's tear be shed, not mine
Let somebody else's nose get red, not mine
I like playing solitaire
But until I can draw a pair
It's somebody else's moon up there, not mine

Not Me


Not Me
Composer(s): King Radio; Don Raye
Performer(s): Robert Mitchum



Let’s put woman and man together
To find out which one is smarter
Some say ‘men’, but I say No
The women play the men like a puppet show

Not me – it is the people who say
That the men are leading the women astray
But I say that the women of today
Smarter than men in every way
They’re smart – they’re clever chicks
They’re smart – with crazy tricks
They got no mercy in their heart
They’re smart – intelligent

Ever since the world began
Woman was always fooling man
And if you listen to me, attentively
I want to show you how the woman’s smarter than me

Not me – it is the people who say
That the men are leading the women astray
But I say that the women of today
Smarter than men in every way
They’re smart, they’re clever chicks
Oh they’re sharp with clever tricks
They got no mercy in their heart
They’re smart – they’re pretty shrewd

Samson was the strongest man long ago
Nobody could beat him, that we all know
And when he clashed with Delilah, like soldiers said
She found that the strength was in the hair of the head

Not me – it is the people who say
That the men are leading the women astray
But I say that the women of today
Smarter than men in every way

Now I had a little girl named Doraldee
She marry me independently
She was saving the money all the time
And then she ran to Cuba with a friend of mine

Not me, it is the people who say
That the men are leading the women astray
But I say that the women of today
Smarter than men in every way
They’re smart – they’re clever chicks
They’re smart – with crazy tricks
They got no mercy in their hearts
They smart – they intelligent, man

Had another girl named Emilee
She promised that she would marry with me
But then she put me in jail and when I go to see
I find that she already married to two or three

Not me - it is the people who say
That the men are leading the women astray
But I say that the women of today
Smarter than men in every way

Not Guilty


Not Guilty
Composer(s): George Harrison
Performer(s): The Beatles



Not guilty
for getting in your way
while you're trying to steal the day
Not guilty
and I'm not here for the rest
I'm not trying to steal your vest

I am not trying to be smart
I only want what I can get
I'm really sorry for your ageing head
But like you heard me said
not guilty

No use handing me a writ
while I'm trying to do my bit

I don't expect to take your heart
I only want what I can get
I'm really sorry that you're underfed
But like you heard me said
not guilty

Not guilty
for looking like a freak
making friends with every Sikh
Not guilty
for leading you astray
on the road to Mandalay

I won't upset the apple cart
I only want what I can get
I'm really sorry that you've been misled
But like you heard me said
not guilty

Not For Me


Not For Me
Composer(s): Bobby Darin
Performer(s): Bobby Darin; Sammy Davis Jr.; Timco



Ballads are being sung
But not for me
Church bells are being rung
But not for me
I am without love
But I don't doubt love can be
Warm and tender for some
But not for me
Poems are being read
But not for me
Prayers are being said
But not for me
I've never known love
Or been shown love, you see
And maybe there is such a thing
But not for me
So let all of your singers sing
But not for me
And let all of your church bells ring
But not for me
And if tomorrow
All your sorrows should be
Just like mine then you cry
But not for me
No, not me
Never for me

Not For All The Rice In China


Not For All The Rice In China
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Leo Reisman;
and various other artists



Not for all the rice in China
Not for all the grapes in France
Would I exchange the pleasure
That I get from every measure
When we dance

Not for all the kilts in Scotland
Not for all the bulls in Spain
Would I give up arriving
At your house although you’re
Driving me insane

Not for all the onions in Bermuda
Or the cheeses that are made by the Swiss
Would I exchange that first kiss
That you gave me

Not for all the beans in Boston
Not for all the knobs on doors
Would I agree to part with
All the joy you filled my heart with
When you said, "I’m yours"

Not Enough Indians


Not Enough Indians
Composer(s): Herbie Baker; Baker Knight
Performer(s): Dean Martin



Wagon train of love
Is movin' slow...
And I can see the peace-pipe
Burnin' low...
You criticize each
Little thing I do...
But listen baby
I've got news for you
(There's)
Too many chiefs
And not enough, Indians
Around this house...
Baby I'm tired
A' this old game
We play called
Cat and mouse...
If you don't give
Just a little bit more...
We're both gonna
Loose the race
'Cause there's
Too many chiefs
And not enough Indians
Around this place
Trouble on our
Happy hunting grounds...
'Cause you keep steppin'
Too far out of bounds
It's hard to run
This reservation right...
When you stay on the warpath
Day and night
(There's)
Too many chiefs
And not enough, Indians
Around this house...
Baby I'm tired
A' this old game
We play called
Cat and mouse...
If you don't give
Just a little bit more...
We're both gonna
Loose the race
'Cause there's
Too many chiefs
And not enough Indians
Around this place
Look at all the things
I have to do...
To keep this te-pee runnin'
Just for you
Well times are tough
And wampum's hard to save...
Just remember who's the squaw
And who's the brave
(There's)
Too many chiefs
And not enough, Indians
Around this house...
Baby I'm tired
A' this old game
We play called
Cat and mouse...
If you don't give
Just a little bit more...
We're both gonna
Loose the race
'Cause there's
Too many chiefs
And not enough Indians
Around this place

Not A Second Time


Not A Second Time
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney
Performer(s): The Beatles;
and various other artists



You know you made me cry
I see no use in wondering why
I cry for you

And now you've changed your mind
I see no reason to change mine
I cry it's through, oh

You're giving me the same old line
I'm wondering why
You hurt me then
You're back again
No, no, no, not a second time
not a second time

You know you made me cry
I see no use in wondering why
I cry for you

And now you've changed your mind
I see no reason to change mine
I cry it's through, oh

You're giving me the same old line
I'm wondering why
You hurt me then
You're back again
No, no, no, not a second time
not a second time
Not the second time
no, no, no, no, no
no, no no

Not A Care In The World


Not A Care In The World
Composer(s): Vernon Duke; John Latouche
Performer(s): Peggy Lee;
and various other artists



Though hope is low
I’m aglow when you smile at me
Life is simple as A-B-C
Not a thought in my head
Not a care in the world
Though skies are grey
I’m as gay as a Disney cow
Not a wrinkle upon my brow
Not a cent in the red
Not a care in the world
I view the scene like that queen of old Russia
As Kate the Great used to state long ago
"Nichevo!"
So if I move in a groove with a giddy trot
I’m a trottin’ because I’ve got
Not a bean in my pot
Not a care in the world

Though I can’t jive
I revive when I see your face
Not a limp in my merry pace
Not a crimp in my style
Not a care in the world
Though I’m a wreck
I can peck if you take a chance
Not a shine on my blue serge pants
Not a crack in my smile
Not a care in the world
Why should I fret when I bet on a sure thing?
Like Nick the Greek used to say every day
"Yip-i-ay!"
So if I’m struttin’ with nuttin’ ahead in store
There’s a reason I said before
I’ll repeat it once more
Not a care in the world

Nostalgie


Nostalgie
Composer(s): Jesse Barish
Performer(s): Dalida



Quand je repense à nous
J'ai le cœur qui flambe un peu
Comme au temps de nous deux
Tu étais fou
Comme ceux qui jouent leur cœur et leur amour
Et qui gagne toujours

Nostalgie
Comme une image de Visconti
Quand Venise a le cœur gris
Nostalgie
Il pleut sur mes rêves et aussi
Sur notre photographie

Et tes baisers de nacre
Etaient pour moi comme des sacres de printemps
Et de bonheur
Mais dans tes yeux de slave
Je me suis vue comme une esclave
Et je crois bien que j'ai eu peur

Nostalgie
Comme un violon de Vivaldi
Quand la musique a le cœur gris
Nostalgie
Il pleut sur mes rêves et aussi
Sur notre photographie

Tu avais cette insolence
Qui me faisait souvent violence
Entre le rire et le mépris
Tu avais l'air d'un roi
Mais ton royaume c'était moi
Je ne le comprends qu'aujourd'hui

Nostalgie
Aux yeux de Modigliani
Quand la palette a le cœur gris
Nostalgie
Il pleut sur mes rêves et aussi
Sur notre photographie
Et je sais aujourd'hui
Que sa vie
On peut la perdre aussi

Composer(s): Atahualpa Yupanqui

Noches de Tucumán
luna la de Tafí
Quién pudiera volverse
para los cerros, ¡ ay, ay de mí!
Zambas para bailar
arpa, bombo y violín
recuerdos y esperanzas
en los pañuelos, ¡ ay, ay de mí!

¡ Suena guitarra
fiel compañera !
Repiqueteando zambas
la vida entera, ¡ ay, ay de mí!

Cerros color azul
perfumados de azahar
naranjales en mayo
y en primavera los amancay

Noches de Tucumán
luna la de Tafí
Quién pudiera volverse
para los cerros ¡ ay, ay de mí!

¡ Suena guitarra

Nosso Bolero


Nosso Bolero
Performer(s): Carlinhos Vergueiro & Chico Buarque



Jogamos nosso bolero
Na ronda dos oceanos
A vida vem como em ondas
Dizia nosso poeta
Nossa canção incompleta
Pode esperar vinte anos
O amor faz ondas redondas
Até quebrar como eu quero

Como o meu jeito de amar se ajeitava com você
Louco, eu não imaginava uma noite sem você
Como é sincero poder
Querer os pulsos cortar
Como é bolero chegar
E perder a coragem
Foi tão bonito você me emprestar a vida assim
Ver que eu não tinha saída e seguir por onde eu vim
Como eu adoro você
Quando você me sorri
Quando sabemos que aqui
Termina nossa viagem

Nosferatu


Nosferatu
Composer(s): Hugh Cornwell; Robert Williams
Performer(s): Hugh Cornwell



Peelers whistle in the distance
Stand no chance of catching on
Horses gallop never faster
Must get back before the dawn
Slips away into the distance
Cold grip on the carriage arm
Lifeless eyes with no reflection
We may die but he'll go on Nosferatu!
