Too Much Candy For A Dime


Too Much Candy For A Dime
Composer(s): Eddy Raven - David Powelson
Performer(s): Eddy Raven



You look just like somebody that I, used to know
Some old flame I could not handle, so long ago
Everything about you looks like, heart over mind
You’re just too much candy for a dime

You’re just, too much candy for a dime, ain’t no way
I can look into those eyes of yours, and walk away
You think I would know better, but I fall every time
You’re just too much candy for a dime

So dance with me and tell me how you, think it could be
I can’t read your mind so tell me what you, want out of me
You’re too good to be true, but then I know, one more time
You’re just too much candy for a dime

You’re just, too much candy for a dime, ain’t no way
I can look into those eyes of yours, and just walk away
You think I would know better, but I fall every time
You’re just too much candy for a dime
You’re just too much candy for a dime

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,yeah
You’re just too much candy for a dime
You’re just too much candy for a dime
You’re just too much candy for a dime

I Just Keep Falling In Love


I Just Keep Falling In Love
Composer(s): Steve Goodman; Bill LaBounty
Performer(s): Nicolette Larson
and multiple other artists



You want me to leave
Well maybe your right
You had what it was that you wanted tonight

Now you like the party
But after the ball
You wanna be free
To feel nothing at all

And I just keep falling in love
I should know better
And I don't know better
How could one night be enough
I just keep falling in love

Wanna tell me I'm crazy
Now maybe that's true
I can't hide the way
That I feel about you
So why should I wonder
Why nobody cares
Here in the sad state
A casual affair

I just keep falling in love
I should know better
And I don't know better
How could one night be enough
I just keep falling
Just keep falling
I just keep falling in love
I should know better
And I dont know better
How could one night be enough
I just keep falling
Just keep falling

How could one night be enough
I just keep falling in love

Juif Et Dieu


Juif Et Dieu
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg; Maurice Garrel



Et si Dieu était juif ça t'inquiéterait petite

Sais-tu que le Nazaréen
N'avait rien d'un Aryen
Et s'il est fils de Dieu comme vous dites
Alors

Dieu est Juif
Juif et Dieu

Le Capital tu as lu de l'Israélite
Karl Marx un beau bouquin
Et le trio bolchevik la troïka des purs eh bien
Tous trois de race sémite
Je te le prouverai tout à l'heure

Dieu est Juif
Juif et Dieu

Grigori Ievseîetch Apfelbaum dit Zionoviev
Lev Borissovitch Rosenfeld dit Kamenev
Lev Davidovitch Bronstein dit Trotsky

Dieu est Juif
Juif et Dieu

Voici le temps de l'Antéchrist
La bombe à neutrons hein
Petite fille de papa Einstein
Encore un juif si tu vois ce que je veux dire petite

Dieu est Juif
Juif et Dieu

Too Much Ain't Enough Love


Too Much Ain't Enough Love
Performer(s): Jimmy Barnes



You walked in my life, with an angel's smile
How could I have known, the hunger locked inside
We can start a fire, but we can't control the flame
Now I just can't wait, to feel that heat again
And in the middle of the night you cry...

Too much ain't enough love to satisfy me
I got a burning heart
Too much ain't enough love to satisfy me

Just seems like yesterday, I was running alone
I turned my back on love, but baby I was wrong
Do I miss your touch, do I tell myself a lie
Can't get enough, when I'm lying by your side
And in the middle of the night I cry...

Too much ain't enough love to satisfy me
I got a burning heart
Too much ain't enough love to satisfy me

Shadows moving on the wall
Slowly we begin to fall
Lying in a pool of sweat
Another night I can't forget

Too much ain't enough love to satisfy me
I got a burning heart
Too much ain't enough love to satisfy me

I Just Have To Breathe


I Just Have To Breathe
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David
Performer(s): Dionne Warwick
and multiple other artists



There are things that I did long ago
That I don't do anymore
We grow out of things
Each day is different than the day before
And yet to love you
I just have to breathe

There are needs we have when we are young
And discard as we mature
Time can change so much
The only certain thing is nothing's sure
And yet to love you
I just have to breathe

It's not an easy place
This world we face
But I'll face anything
As long as that warm morning sun
Will always bring me you

There's a time for everything we do
When it's over we move on
Just true love remains
And I'll still love you when all else is gone
For me to love you
I just have to breathe

In this world where nothing stays the same
Stay with me

Juicy Lucy


Juicy Lucy
Composer(s): John Woloschuck
Performer(s): Klaatu



My Juicy Lucy, you're so exciting
Eyes of blue and hair of lightning
You jet around in your
Chrome atomic platform shoes
I'm so in love with you
My Juicy Lucy

You spend your evenings with Alexander
That fire-breathing salamander
Who sings the blues
And plays electric guitar too

Lucy kissed me and she said, "Can't you?"
I said "No," but I was willing to
Love you with all my might
Though a million nights
Wouldn't be enough it's true
'Cause Juicy Lucy, I'm so in love with you
It's the way you rock'n'roll
You're too too much, you're too too much
You're too too much my Juicy Lucy

Oh! Lucy kissed me and she said, "Can't you?"
I said "No," but I was willing to
Love you with all my might
Though a million nights
Wouldn't be enough it's true
'Cause Juicy Lucy, I'm so in love with you
It's your chrome-atomic platform shoes
Won't you let me get my boots on too
And we'll sail across the sky so blue
Ah, look out sky, here we come!
My Juicy Lucy

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
