Too Much (Bernard Hardison)


Too Much
Composer(s): Lee Rosenberg - Bernard Weinman
First release: Bernard Hardison - 1955



Honey, I love you too much
Need your lovin' too much
Want the thrill of your touch
Gee, I can't hold you too much
You do all the livin'
While I do all the givin'
'Cause I love you, too much

You spend all my money, too much
Have to share you honey, too much
When I want some lovin', you're gone
Don't you know you're treatin' me wrong
Now you got me started
Don't you leave me broken hearted
'Cause I love you, too much

Ev'ry time I kiss your sweet lips
I can feel my heart go flip flip
I'm such a fool for your charms
Take me back baby in your arms
Like to hear you sighin'
Even though I know you're lyin'
'Cause I love you, too much

Need your lovin' all the time
Need you huggin', please be mine
Need you near me, stay real close
Please, please, hear me, you're the most
Now you got me started
Don't you leave me broken hearted
'Cause I love you too much

I Just Found Out


I Just Found Out
Composer(s): Paul Burlison; Johnny Burnette; Dorsey Burnette; Al Mortimer
Performer(s): Johnny Burnette
and multiple other artists



I just found out, some things I thought of you
I-I never dreamed, that they were true
I-I-I just found out, that you were leavin' me
I-I never dreamed, that it would be
I prayed to God to send her love to me
When deep inside this love would never be
I just found out, that you was cheatin' me
I-I-I never dreamed, that it could be

I prayed to God to send her love to me
When deep inside this love could not be
I-I just found out, that you were cheatin' me
I-I-I never dreamed that it could be

Jugband Blues


Jugband Blues
Composer(s): Syd Barrett
Performer(s): Pink Floyd; Eden



It's awfully considerate of you to think of me here
And I'm much obliged to you for making it clear
That I'm not here
And I never knew we could be so thick
And I never knew the moon could be so blue
And I'm grateful that you threw away my old shoes
And brought me here instead dressed in red
And I'm wondering who could be writing this song

I don't care if the sun don't shine
And I don't care if nothing is mine
And I don't care if I'm nervous with you
I'll do my loving in the winter

And the sea isn't green
And I love the queen
And what exactly is a dream
And what exactly is a joke

Too Marvelous For Words


Too Marvelous For Words
Composer(s): Richard Whiting - Johnny Mercer First performance: Ross Alexander - 1937 Covered by multiple other artists



I search for phrases
To sing your praises
But there aren't any magic adjectives
To tell you all you are!

You're just too marvelous
Too marvelous for words
Like glorious, glamourous
And that old standby, amorous

It's all too wonderful
I'll never find the words
That say enough, tell enough
I mean, they just aren't swell enough

You're much too much
And just too very, very
To ever be in Webster's Dictionary

And so I'm borrowing
A love song from the birds
To tell you that you're marvelous
Too marvelous for words

I Just Fall In Love Again


I Just Fall In Love Again
Composer(s): Steve Dorff / Larry Herbstritt / Gloria Sklerov / Harry Lloyd)
Performer(s): Anne Murray
and multiple other artists



Dreamin', I must be dreamin'
or am I really lyin' here with you?
Baby, you take me in your arms
and though I'm wide awake
I know my dream is comin' true

And, oh, I just fall in love again
just one thought and then it happens every time
And there I go, I just fall in love again
and when I do can't help myself
I fall in love with you

Magic, it must be magic
the way I hold you and the night just seems to fly
Easy for you to take me to a star
Heaven is that moment when I look into your eyes (chorus)

Can't help myself I fall in love with you

Jug Of Punch


Jug Of Punch
Composer(s): Francis McPeake
Performer(s): The Clancy Brothers



Oh one pleasant evening in the month of June
As I was sitting with my glass and spoon
A small bird sat on an ivy bush
And the song it sang was the Jug of Punch

Chorus:

Too-ra loo-ra loo, too-ra loo-ra loo
Too-ra loo-ra loo, too-ra loo-ra loo
A small bird sat on an ivy bush
And the song it sang was the Jug of Punch

What more diversion can a man desire
Than to be seated by a snug coal fire
Upon his knee a pretty wench
Aye and on the table a jug of punch

Chorus

If I were sick and very bad
And was not able to go or stand
I would not think it all amiss
To pledge my shoes for a jug of punch

Chorus

The doctor fails with all his art
To cure an impression on the heart
But if life was gone, within an inch
What would bring it back but a jug of punch

Chorus

But when I'm dead and in my grave
No costly tombstone will I crave
Just lay me down in my native heath
With a jug of punch at my head and feet

Chorus

Too Many Times


Too Many Times
Composer(s): Anthony McShear - Scott Page - Micheal Smotherman
Performer(s): Earl Thomas Conley



Rivalries between sons and fathers
Caused me to hurt that Dad of mine
How I'd love to bring him back and say I'm sorry
But the world has turned too many times

Tension between friends and lovers
Can cause you to go over the line
How I'd love to call some up and talk it over
But the world has turned too many times

Oh, too many times I felt I should be freer
And too many times I ended up alone
Oh, too many times I tried to prove them all a liar
When they said you can never go home

A vow we take when we say forever
Left unattended just dies on the vine
Now I wonder if forever wonders ever
If the world has turned too many times

Oh, too many times I felt I should be freer
And too many times I ended up alone
Oh, too many times I tried to prove them all a liar
When they said I will never go home

Tensions between friends and lovers
Make you feel like you're losing your mind
What I'd give to rewind and start all over
But the world has turned too many times

Rivalries do not breed loyalty
Rivalries do not breed loyalty
(Keep turning me, oh, too many times)
(Round and round and round too many times)

I Just Don't Understand


I Just Don't Understand
Composer(s): Kent Westberry; Marijohn Wilkin
First release by: Ann-Margret - 1961



Well you call me your baby
When you're holdin' my hand
Mm, how you can hurt me
I just don't understand

Well you say that you need me
Like the ocean needs sand
But the way you mistreat me
I just don't understand

Well you know that I love you
More than anyone can
But a one-sided love
I just don't understand (don't understand)

Well you know that I love you
More than anyone can
But a one-sided love
I just don't understand (don't understand)

Well you call me your baby
And you hold my hand
Ah, honey, you hurt me
And I just don't understand (don't understand)

Juego Que Me Regaló Un 6 De Enero


Juego Que Me Regaló Un 6 De Enero
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Soy ciudadano del amor
llevo dogal de belleza
entre la hombrera y la cabeza
entre rodilla y cinturón
Haciendo crítica social
me perfumé de valiente
creyeron que era disidente
y no era más que natural

Martí me habló de la amistad
y creo en él cada día
aunque la cruda economía
ha dado luz a otra verdad

El mundo tiene la razón
puesta en el pan, en el diario
ese señor rudimentario
que nos dará la absolución

Ciega
la vida nueva es
como un verso al revés
como un amor por descifrar
como un Dios en edad de jugar
Trino
vete al destino, al punto que será final
juega a lo que no jugué
y canta que aunque sin rey mago
sigo en pie

Seguro estoy requete mal
debo sufrir algo extraño
pues ni la hiel ni el desengaño
me dan canción de funeral

El fin de siglo trae la sien
cebada de pudredumbre
como invitándome a una lumbre
que prenderá quien ame bien

Bendito el tiempo que me dio
una canción sin permiso
Bendito sea el paraíso
algo infernal que me parió

El día del Armagedón
no quiero estar tras la puerta
sino soñando bien alerta
donde esté a salvo de perdón

Ciega
la vida nueva es
como un verso al revés
como un amor por descifrar
como un Dios en edad de jugar
Trino
vete al destino, al punto que será final
juega a lo que no jugué
y canta que aunque sin rey mago
sigo en pie

Too Many Tears


Too Many Tears
Composer(s): Harry Warren - Al Dubin
Performer(s): Dick Powell
and multiple other artists



To have a good old fashioned cry
Once in a while
Isn't so bad
For when you've had that little cry
Then you can smile
You can be glad
But when there's too much sorrow
You know that there is bound to be

Too many tears
Each night I go to bed
I lay awake and shed
Too many tears
Your memory
Is bringing me
Too many tears
Too many years
I wasted loving you
And you know I was true
Too many years
I cared a lot
What have I got?
Too many tears
I know I should have found a new love
And don't you think I didn't try
But I found out a "number two" love
Never seems to satisfy
I'll never learn
To smile again and sing
I gave you ev'rything
And in return
What did you leave for souvenirs?
Too many tears

I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You


I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You
Composer(s): Colin Hay
Performer(s): Colin Hay; Wes Wingate



I drink good coffee every morning
Comes from a place that's far away
And when I'm done I feel like talking
Without you here there is less to say
I don't want you thinking I'm unhappy
What is closer to the truth
That if I lived till I was 102
I just don't think I'll ever get over you
I'm no longer moved to drink strong whisky
'Cause I shook the hand of time and I knew
That if I lived till I could no longer climb my stairs
I just don't think I'll ever get over you
Your face it dances and it haunts me
Your laughter's still ringing in my ears
I still find pieces of your presence here
Even after all these years
But I don't want you thinking I don't get asked to dinner
'Cause I'm here to say that I sometimes do
Even though I may soon feel the touch of love
I just don't think I'll ever get over you
If I lived till I was 102
I just don't think I'll ever get over you

Juego Letal


Juego Letal
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse
Performer(s): Raphael



Sentir tus dedos tocar mis labios
Es sensacion que estremece mi piel
Y tu mirar enciende en mi pasion
Placer prohibido, voy a caer en el

Si te acercas a mi
Si yo escucho tu voz
Si mis ojos van hasta ti
Es locura de amor
Pierdo todo el control
No sabria sentir asi

Es la pura maldad
Es pecado mortal
Y cuidado con el
Es un juego letal

Es la vision de un sueño oscuro
Tan irreal que parece verdad
Extraño amor de cuento infantil
Adios princesa, ¿sabes a donde vas?

Echarás a correr, tal vez te quedaras
Que mas da, tu fin es perder
Solo se que no soy, olvide donde estoy
Pago el precio por un querer
¿A quien voy a culpar?
Es un crimen carnal
La verdad que mas da
Es un juego letal

No hables mas, ¿para que?
Bastara nuestro mirar
Nos dira de los dos
Lo que yo quiero escuchar

Si te acercas a mi
Si yo escucho tu voz
Si mis ojos van hasta ti
Es locura de amor
Pierdo todo el control
No sabria sentir asi

Es la pura maldad
Es pecado mortal
¿A quien puedo culpar?
Es un crimen carnal
Ten cuidado con el
Es un juego letal

Too Many Rivers


Too Many Rivers
Composer(s): Harlan Howard
First release: Claude Gray - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists



I wish I could come back to you, dear
'Cause I know that you want me to
But too much water run under that old bridge
There's too many rivers between me and you
There's too many rivers to cross, dear

Too many dreams have been lost
And there's too many long nights
That I've turned and tossed
There's too many rivers to cross

Now don't think for a moment, I blame only you
We both killed the fruit on the vine
And when you try to put love back together
There's always a few little pieces you can't find

Yes, there's too many rivers to cross, dear
And there's too many dreams that have been lost
Oh there's too many long nights
That I've turned and I've tossed
There's too many rivers to cross

I Just Don't Look Good Naked Anymore


I Just Don't Look Good Naked Anymore
(aka Trucker's Lament) Composer(s): Sheb Wooley - Dick Feller Performer(s): Sheb Wooley and multiple other artists



I stepped outta the shower and I gotta good look at myself
Pot belly, bald head, man, I thought I was somebody else
I caught my reflection in the mirror on the back of my bathroom door
I just don't look good naked anymore

So, I'm goin' upstairs and turn the bedroom mirror to the wall
I hung it there when I was trim and tall
I'd stand there and smile, and strut and flex until my arms got sore
But I just don't look good naked anymore

Well, I used to go out with the girls
I loved them one and all
Now they don't get very close to me
They're afraid that I might fall

Well, I went to the Doctor for my annual medical exam
Stood there in the buff, suddenly he said "Man"
I said "What is it Doc, some fatal disease, I just gotta know the score"
He said "No, you just don't look good naked anymore

Well, me and my wife had a dance routine
Everybody said it was unique
Now it's only when we're back to back
That we're dancing cheek to cheek

Well, I went to a nudie beech to have some seaside fun
Stretched out in my birthday suit, soakin' up the sun
Somebody yelled, "Hey, there's an old white whale washed up on the shore
I just don't look good naked anymore

Yeah, my arches fell, my chest went to hell
And my butt's a-draggin' the floor
An' I just don't look good naked anymore
No, I just don't look good naked anymore

Judy's Turn To Cry
Composer(s): Edna Lewis; Beverly "Ruby" Ross
Performer(s): Lesley Gore



'Cause now, it's Judy's turn to cry
Judy's turn to cry
Judy's turn to cry
'Cause Johnny's come back (Johnny's come back, come back) to me

Oh, when Judy left with Johnny at my party (my party)
And came back wearing his ring,
I sat down and cried my eyes out
Now, that was a foolish thing

'Cause now, it's Judy's turn to cry
Judy's turn to cry
Judy's turn to cry
'Cause Johnny's come back (Johnny's come back, come back) to me

Well, it hurt me so to see them dance together (together)
I felt like making a scene
Then, my tears just fell like raindrops
'Cause Judy's smile was so mean

But now, it's Judy's turn to cry
Judy's turn to cry
Judy's turn to cry
'Cause Johnny's come back (Johnny's come back, come back) to me

Oh, one night I saw them kissin' at a party (a party)
So, I kissed some other guy
Johnny jumped up and he hit him
'Cause he still loved me, that's why

So now, it's Judy's turn to cry
Judy's turn to cry
Judy's turn to cry
'Cause Johnny's come back (Johnny's come back, come back) to me

Yay, now, it's Judy's turn to cry
Judy's turn to cry
Judy's turn to cry........

I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself


I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself
French Title: Oui, Il Faut Croire - 1964
Composer(s): Hal David; Burt Bacharach
First release by: Tommy Hunt - 1962
Covered by multiple other artists



I just don't know what to do with myself
Don't know just what to do with myself
I'm so used to doing everything with you
Planning everything for two
And now that we're through

I just don't know what to do with my time
I'm so lonesome for you, it's a crime
Going to a movie only makes me sad
Parties make me feel as bad
When I'm not with you, I just don't know what to do

Like a summer rose needs the sun and rain
I need your sweet love to beat all the pain

I just don't know what to do with myself
I just don't know what to do with myself
Baby, if your new love ever turns you down
Come back, I will be around
Just waiting for you, I just know what else to do

Like a summer rose needs the sun and rain
I need your sweet love to beat all the pain

I just don't know what to do with myself
I just don't know what to do with myself
Baby, if your new love ever turns you down
Come back, I will be around
Just waiting for you, I just know what else to do

Judy, Judy, Judy


Judy, Judy, Judy
Composer(s): Doc Pomus;
Mort Shuman; Johnny Tillotson
Performer(s): Johnny Tillotson



Judy's got the lips I love to kiss
And when she walks she's got the cutest twist
She's grown up before my eyes and all at once I realize
Judy, Judy, Judy I love you

Judy's got the hands I love to touch
The way she wrinkles her nose, it's just too much
No more shirts and bright blue jeans, all at once she's seventeen
Judy, Judy, Judy I love you

I'm prayin' I'll stay in her heart for evermore
'Cause she's the girl I've dreamed of, that I've been waiting for

Judy's gonna share my life some day
And in my heart I know she's gonna stay
When I look into her eyes I just can't help but realize
Judy, Judy, Judy I love you

I'm prayin' I'll stay in her heart for evermore
'Cause she's the girl I've dreamed of, that I've been waiting for

Judy's gonna share my life some day
And I'll be true to her in every way
When I look into her eyes I just can't help but realize
Judy, Judy, Judy I love you
Judy, Judy, Judy I love you

Too Many Fish In The Sea


Too Many Fish In The Sea
Composer(s): Norman Whitfield - Eddie Holland
First release: The Marvelettes - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists



Look here, girls: Take this advice & remember always in life

Into each heart some tears must fall
Though you love & lose you must stand tall
'Cause you all got to cry sometimes, I say, sigh sometimes
Pull yourself together, no use cryin' forever

Because there are
(Too many fish in the sea, too many fish in the sea)
I say, there are short ones, tall ones, fine ones, kind ones
(Too many fish in the sea)
My mother once told me somethin', & every word is true
Don't waste your time on a fella who doesn't love you
They'll only mislead you, only grieve you
Don't worry about him, let him go, do without him

Because there are
(Too many fish in the sea, too many fish in the sea)
I say, there are short ones, tall ones, fine ones, kind ones
(Too many fish in the sea)

If a fish isn't on your line
Bait your hook & keep on tryin'
Don't let him get you down
There's other boys around

Because there are
(Too many fish in the sea, too many fish in the sea)
I say, there are short ones, tall ones, fine ones, kind ones
(Too many fish in the sea)

I don't want nobody who don't want me
('Cause there's too many fish in the sea)
Ain't gonna love nobody who don't love me, now
('Cause there's too many fish in the sea)
I don't need nobody who don't need me
('Cause there's too many fish in the sea)
I don't want nobody who don't want me, now
('Cause there's too many fish in the sea)
Ain't gonna love nobody who don't love me
('Cause there's too many fish in the sea)...

Oui, Il Faut Croire


Oui, Il Faut Croire
Adapted from: I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself - 1962
Composer(s): Hal David; Burt Bacharach; Michèle Vendôme, Claude Carrère
Performer(s): Sheila - 1964



Oui, il faut croire simplement à la vie
À cette vie que l'on nous a donnée
Penser que jamais rien n'est perdu vraiment
Que la chance nous attend
On doit la chercher

Oui, il faut croire simplement à la vie
À cette vie que l'on nous a donnée
Apprendre à sourire quand on a du chagrin
Quand celui qu'on aimait bien
Vous a fait pleurer
On doit savoir oublier

Avec toi, je veux connaître le monde et découvrir
Toutes les joies et tous les espoirs
Qu'il vient m'offrir

Oui, il faut croire simplement à la vie
À cette vie que l'on nous a donnée
Et se souvenir du geste de l'ami
Car les mots qu'il nous a dits
Pour nous consoler
On ne peut les effacer

Toi qui m'a appris à regarder autour de moi
Jamais mon coeur, je te le promets,
Ne t'oubliera !

Oui, il faut croire, il faut croire à la vie!
Oui, il faut croire, il faut croire à la vie!
Penser que jamais rien n'est perdu vraiment
Que la chance nous attend
On doit la chercher

Oui, il faut croire, il faut croire à la vie!
