Diana Ross | Behind Closed Doors | /d/diana+ross/behind+closed+doors_20040213.html | My baby makes me proud
Lord, don't he make me proud
He never makes a scene
By hangin' all over me in a crowd
'Cause people like to talk
Lord, don't they like to talk
But when they turn out the lights
I know he'll be leavin' with me
And when we get behind closed doors
Then I let my hair hang down
He makes me glad that I'm a woman
Oh, no one knows what goes on behind closed doors
My baby makes me smile
Lord, don't he make me smile
He's never far away
Or too tired to say I want you
And I'm always a lady
Just like a lady should be
But when they turn out the lights
He's still my baby to me
And when we get behind closed doors
Then I let my hair hang down
Oh, he makes me glad I'm a woman
Oh, no one knows what goes on behind closed doors
oh, behind closed doors
I let my hair hang down
I'm glad that I'm a woman
No one knows what goes on behind closed doors
Behind closed doors
I let my hair hang down
He makes me glad I'm a woman
No one knows what goes on behind closed doors
And when we get behind closed doors
Then I let my hair hang down

Diana Ross | Can't Get Started With You | /d/diana+ross/cant+get+started+with+you_20700575.html | I've been around the world in a plane
I've settled revolutions in Spain
The North Pole I have charted
But man I can't get started with you
And at the golf course I'm under par
Metro-Goldwyn wants me to star
I've got a house and a show place
But can't get no place with you
You're so supreme
The lyrics I write of you
Dream, dream, day and night of you
Scheme just for the sight of you
Baby but what good dose it do
I've been consulted by Franklin D.
Even Gabel had me to tea
But now I'm broken hearted
Can't get started with you
You're so supreme
The lyrics I write of you
Dream, dream, day and night of you
Scheme just for the sight of you
But what good does it do
I've been consulted by Franklin D.
Even Basic had me to tea
But now I'm broken hearted
Can't get started with you

Diana Ross | Change Of Heart | /d/diana+ross/change+of+heart_20040355.html | You're trying to tell me something
Every time I come near
I got a feeling the message
Is the one I don't want to hear
You can deny all you want to
But I know you enough to know
Why not come right out and say it
You've been trying to let me down slow
So let's talk before the tears drop
You've had a change of heart
Well I guess that's up to you
I couldn't change my heart
Even if I wanted to
You've had a change of heart
Your kiss sends a message
And I detect the signs
I got enough understanding
Of a lover to realize
That you can't make him love you
Though I give you my best
You're keeping your heart at a distance
And it breaks me up to confess
Change of heart
Well I guess that's up to you
I couldn't change my heart
Even if I wanted to
Change of heart
Baby, everyone to talk to
You've had a change of heart
Is this just a notion
A phase that will pass
A mixed up emotion
Or is this change gonna last?
Baby let's talk
Before the tears drop
You've had a change of heart
Well I guess that's up to you
I couldn't change my heart
Even if I wanted to
Change of heart
Everyone to talk to
You've had a change of heart
Am I losing you, losing you
Change of heart
I couldn't change my heart
Am I losing you, losing you
I couldn't change my heart

Diana Ross | Confide In Me | /d/diana+ross/confide+in+me_20040101.html | Confide in me
Religh on me
And I will try to satisfy
Your every need
Through the day
'Till we say goodnight
Take it slow, easy go
Any friend would recommend
The starlight show
On a night like this
I insist you try
Oh, now I know the nights will last
Morning sun is shining through
So close the door
And let the whole world passes by
While I confide in you
If you take the time
You will find
A smile face, warm embrace
A sympathetic mind, to do it right
Confide in me tonight
Oh, now I know the nights will last
Morning sun is shining through
So close the door
And let the whole world passes by
While I confide in you
Confide in me
Religh on me
any wish, you've ever missed
Is guaranteed
There's a peace of mind
You will find
Confide in me tonight
Ooh, confide in me tonight

Diana Ross | Don't Give Up On Each Other | /d/diana+ross/dont+give+up+on+each+other_20040138.html | You say it's better to behave
Just like I never met you
Why is it only I can cry
And you can say goodbye in a minute
Don't you remember I was your friend
And you can just erase all those days
And those tender reflections we bear
We promised not to fall in love
But it was there and soon I was in it
Already I was more than your friend
It's harder for me
No words or expressions
Can make you hungry for me
I've never seen you on your knees
Like I'm beggin' you
Don't give up, give up on each other
Back where we started
No love to hold us down
I'll never give another anymore than I gave to you
Will never come around
Always and always
You told me love was ever and ever
Together the dream will come true
If we turn back
If you turn back to me
You won't be sorry if you stay
I'll stake my life upon it
Little flame inside us can be fed
Take our precious love to the limit
It's the one that you need and it's your friend
It's harder for me
No words or expressions
Anything that makes you worry
I've never seen you on your knees
And I'm in a hurry
How is it you can break my heart
But you can't be sorry
Push away whoever you please
But I'm begging you
Don't give up, give up on each other
Back where we started
No love to hold us down
I'll never give another
Anymore than I gave to you
Will never come around, oh
Don't give up, give up on each other
We can't lose tomorrow
Better treasure what we've got
I'll never give another anymore than I gave to you

Heaven must have sent you to me
And I'm not gonna let you go back
I'm gonna love you till the stars don't shine
And angels start dressing in black
I wanna shout "Hallelujah"
Oh, heart I've finally fooled ya
Somebody strike up the band

I just started living
The day you started giving your love to me
And now music feels my soul
It sounds just like a rock 'n' roll symphony
Listen to the music in my soul
Ahhhh...
I see words inside your eyes
They beg me not to leave
Could it be we might have passed
On the same road to loneliness
Let us put bad memories
Of our past up on the shelf
(And leave it there forever)
And give ourselves a second chance
To enjoy love's priceless wealth
Don't it make you wanna shout "Hallelujah"
When you're feeling love go through ya
Somebody strike up the band
Here it comes again
Doobedood'ndoo doobedood'ndoobe doobedood'ndoo

The only thing that's bright
My first love,
You're every breath that I take
You're every step I make
And I, I want to share
All my love with you

And your eyes, your eyes, your eyes
They tell me how much you care
Ooh yes,
You will always be
My endless love
Two hearts,
Two hearts that beat as one
Our lives have just begun
Forever (Oh)

And I'll give it all to you
My love, my love, my love

Give up you're love to me
Give up, give up
Give up you're love to me
You better listen well
When i tell you
To be on the look out
You can't call for help
'Cause i know you inside out
Despite all your hideouts
I'm no great pretender
I'll make you surrender
So come along quietly
Here's a thought to remember
I have not met a man yet
To escape from my drag-net
Give up, give up
Give up you're love to me
Give up, give up
Give up you're love to me
Give up, give up
Give up you're love to me
I'll give you just the facts man
And you can draw all your own conclusions
I'll keep your mind surrounded
With chains of love so strong
You can't break through them
My arsenal is stocked
With all kinds of seductive weapons
Although your heart's locked up
My love will assist me
So that you can't resist me
Give up, give up
Give up you're love to me
Give up, give up
Give up you're love to me
Give up, give up
Give up you're love to me
Give up, give up
Give up you're love to me

Give up you're love to me
Give up, give up
Give up you're love to me

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Night and the spirit of life calling
Oh, oh, iyo, mamela
And the voice with the fear of a child answers
Iyo iyo, mamela
Wait, there's no mountain too great
Hear these words and have faith
Oh, oh, iyo

Hela hey mamela, hela hey mamela
Hela hey mamela, hela hey mamela

Into the waters, into the truth
In your reflection, he lives in you
Dream, and the voice in the wind whispers
Iyo mamela
Wait, there's no mountain too great
Hear these words and have faith, oh, oh, iyo

Diana Ross | I Ain't Been Licked | /d/diana+ross/i+aint+been+licked_20040346.html | Roll down the gangway
So they'll see that it's me
I know they'll wonder about my recovery
Yes, I lost a love that promised happiness
What my heart wouldn't accept
Put me to the test
They keep a holding me down
But I rise, yes, it can be done
They keep a holding me down
But I rise, they can't make me run
Keep a holding me down
But I rise, got my second wind
Keep a holding me down
But I rise, tell 'em I'm back again
Just say, I ain't been licked
I ain't been licked
I ain't been licked
Tell 'em for me, I ain't been licked
Like outta nowhere
My whole world fell apart
Till this day no one knows
What I felt in my heart
All those precious things
Inside me tried to still
Hands I thought would help
Pushed me over the hill
Keep a holding me down
But I rise, yes, it can be done
Keep a holding me down
But I rise, they can't make me run
Keep a holding me down
But I rise, got my second wind
Keep a holding me down
But I rise, tell 'em I'm back again
Just say, I ain't been licked
I ain't been licked
I ain't been licked
Tell 'em for me, I ain't been licked
Keep a holding me down
But I rise just to start again
Rise, show 'em that I can
Rise, found a brand new dream
Rise just to prove one thing
Just say, I ain't been licked
I ain't been licked
I ain't been licked
Tell 'em for me, I ain't been licked
I want the world to see
I ain't been licked
Although my love is gone
I ain't been licked
Somehow I carry one
I ain't been licked
I'll find the strength somehow
I ain't been licked
I think I'm ready now
I ain't been licked
I ain't been licked
I ain't been licked
I ain't been licked

Diana Ross | I Hear A Symphony | /d/diana+ross/i+hear+a+symphony_20040232.html | You've given me a true love and ev'ry day I thank you love,
For a feeling that's so new, so inviting, so exciting.
Whenever you are near, I Hear A Symphony,
A tender melody pulling me closer, closer to your arms.
Then suddenly, oo, your lips are touching mine.
A feeling so divine 'til I leave the past behind.
I'm lost in a world made for you and me.
Oo love me.
Whenever you are near I Hear A Symphony play sweet and tenderly
Ev'ry time your lips meet mine my baby.
Baby, baby, I feel a joy within,
Don't let this feeling end,
Let it go on and on and on now baby.
Baby, baby, those tears that fill my eyes,
I care not for myself but for those
Who've never felt the joy we've felt.
Whenever you are near,
I Hear A Symphony each time you speak to me
I hear a tender rhapsody of love, love.
Baby, baby, as you stand up holding me
Whispering how much you care,
A thousand violins fill the air now.
Baby, baby, don't let this moment end,
Keep standing close to me,
Oo so close to me, baby, baby.
Baby, baby, I Hear A Symphony, a tender melody.
Ah it goes on and on and on and on and
on and on and on and on and
on and on and on and on and

Diana Ross | I Thought It Took A Little Time | /d/diana+ross/i+thought+it+took+a+little+time_10085157.html | Am I really hard to please?
Perhaps I have such special needs
I wondered what was wrong with me
My friends all fall so easily
But today I fell in love with someone I hardly know
Did I make myself imagine that he could love me so?
'Cause the feeling was so unexpected
I could hardly keep myself collected
I thought it took a little time to learn about lovin'
Never did believe in lovin' on sight
I thought it took time to learn about lovin'
All I know is now it's gotta be right
In the midst of conversation he looked into my eyes
And all through the conversation much to my own surprise
Half the words he said to me were missin'
'Cause my mind was so intend on kissin'
I thought it took a little time to learn about lovin'
Never did believe in lovin' on sight
I thought it took time to learn about lovin'
All I know is now it's gotta be right
Am I really hard to please?
Perhaps I have such special needs
I wondered what was wrong with me
My friends all fall so easily
But today I fell in love with someone I hardly know
Did I make myself imagine that he could love me so?
And the feelin' was so deep inside me
I could feel it when he brushed beside me
I thought it took a little time to learn about lovin'
Never did believe in lovin' on sight
I thought it took time to learn about lovin'
All I know is now it's gotta be right
Took a little time to learn about lovin'
Never did believe in lovin' on sight
I thought it took time to learn about lovin'
All I know is now it's gotta be right
I'm in love, so in love today I fell in love
I'm in love, so in love today I fell in love
I thought it took a little time to learn about lovin'

Diana Ross | I Want You | /d/diana+ross/i+want+you_20721557.html | Ooh, it's over, it's over, ooh, hey
Oh, baby, it's over, it's over baby
I want you the right way
And I want you, but I want you to want me too
Want you to want me baby
Just like I want you, ooh
I'll give you all the love I want in return, sweet darling
But half a love is all I feel
Ooh, it's too bad, just too sad you don't want me now
But I'm gonna change your mind somehow, oh baby
I want you the right way
I want you, but I want you to want me too
I want you to want me baby
Just like I want you, oh
One way love is just a fantasy, oh sugar
To share is precious, pure and fair, oh
Don't play with something you should cherish for life, oh baby
Oh, don't you wanna care? It's lonely out there
Oh, I want you the right way
I want you, babe, but I want you to want me too
Oh, I want to get down baby
When I, when I get down with you, yeah
I want you the right way
I want you, babe, but I want you to want me too
I want you baby
Just like I want you, oh
Get down babe, have mercy darling
Listen darling, I love you, I love you
And I want you babe, to get down babe
When I get down with you, oh

I want you, but I want you to want me too, oh
Oh, I love you, hey, just like I want you
Oh, you gotta get down baby

Diana Ross | If We Hold On Together | /d/diana+ross/if+we+hold+on+together_20040359.html | Don't lose your way
With each passing day
You've come so far
Don't throw it away
Live believing
Dreams are for weaving
Wonders are waiting to start
Live your story
Faith, hope and glory
Hold to the truth in your heart
If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I
Souls in the wind
Must learn how to bend
Seek out a star
Hold on to the end
Valley, mountain
There is a fountain
Washes our tears all away
Words are swaying
Somebody is praying
Please let us come home to stay
If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I
When we are out there in the dark
We'll dream about the sun
In the dark we'll feel the light
Warm our hearts, everyone
If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
As high as souls can fly
The clouds roll by
For you and I

Diana Ross | I'll Settle For You | /d/diana+ross/ill+settle+for+you_20040315.html | Every star has a twinkle
Every palm has a wrinkle
Every leaf comes from a tree
I would agree
So if everything is made up of two
And the sky really needs the blue
For my other half
I'll settle for you
Every future has a past
Every first has a last
Every night has a day
Come what may
So if everything is made up of two
Whether it be old or new
For my other half
I'll settle for you
Who wants to be like a sea without a shore
The love just drifting forever more
Every smile has a frown
All you gotta do is turn it upside down
Every house has a door
Of that I'm sure
So if everything is made up of two
I think it would be best if you know
For my other half
I'll settle for you
Don't you know, I'll settle for you
I'll settle for you
If I had to settle, baby
I'll settle for you
Don't you know, I'll settle for you

Diana Ross | Imagine | /d/diana+ross/imagine_20040404.html | Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
Imagine all possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Diana Ross | In And Out Of Love | /d/diana+ross/in+and+out+of+love_20810547.html | Keep falling in and out of love
In search for what I'm dreaming of
I long to find a love, I'm sure about
Well, that certain kind of love that moves all doubts
Keep falling in and out of love
Still searchin' for that special one
To whom I can give my love completely
And feel a lasting love, so sweetly
Just when I feel sure, love's here to stay
It seems to suddenly, just fade away
I can't seem to find that everlasting love
That this heart of mine needs so much of
Keep falling in and out of love
I can't seem to find the lasting kind
It seems, I can't find the joy I need
Love always somehow, all goes wrong for me
Keep falling in and out of love
Keep falling in and out of love
I keep reaching out for tenderness
Touching a hand that holds emptiness
Well, I'm looking for my love that lingers on
Long after that first kiss is gone
That kind of love that keeps burning bright
Long after we've said goodnight
Keep falling in and out of love
In search for what I'm dreaming of
Keep falling in and out of love

Diana Ross | In Your Arms | /d/diana+ross/in+your+arms_20040284.html | Hold me, touch me, make me your woman
I will love you with sweet surrender
Tonight our hearts will beat as one
So won't you hold me, make me your woman
Tonight, something in your eyes I see
A pure and simple honesty
Won't you hold me in your arms
Tonight will last forever
Let's not waste this precious time
This moment's our's to treasure
Won't you hold me in your arms
Don't make me wait forever
When the morning sun appears
We'll find our way together
Believe you when you say that you love me
Know that I won't take you for granted
Tonight our hearts will beat as one
Hold me, make me your woman
Tonight, something in your eyes I see
I won't betray your trust in me
Won't you hold me in your arms
Tonight will last forever
Let's not waste this precious time
This moment's ours to treasure
Won't you hold me in your arms
Don't make me wait forever
When the morning sun appears
We'll find our way together
Hold me, touch me
Make me your woman tonight

Diana Ross | It's The Same Old Song | /d/diana+ross/its+the+same+old+song_20832657.html | You're sweet as a honey bee
But like a honey bee stings
You've gone and left my heart in pain
All you left is our favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
It used to bring sweet memories
Of a tender love that used to be
Now it's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
I, oh I
Sentimental fool am I
To hear a old love song and wanna cry
But the melody keeps haunting me
Reminding me how in love we used to be
Keep hearing the part that used to touch our heart
Saying together forever, breaking up never
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
But it's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
Precious memories keep a lingering on
Every time I hear our favorite song
Now you're gone, left this emptiness
I only reminisce the happiness we spent
We used to dance to the music
Make romance through the music
Now it's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
Now it's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
I, oh I can't bear to hear it
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since

Diana Ross | Last Time I Saw Him | /d/diana+ross/last+time+i+saw+him_20040215.html | Last time I saw him
He sweetly kissed my lips
Last time I saw him
He said "I'll be back for more of this"
Last time I saw him
We were crying at the bus
I knew he hated leaving
But he had to set us up
I gave him money
I know I invested well
Mamma doesn't trust him
But he loves me I can tell
Each time the greyhound
Arrives at nine o' clock
But I don't start my crying
'Till that last man's gotten off
Last time I saw him
Last time I saw my honey
Last time I saw him
He was Greyhound-bound
But I'm still waiting here
Without a fear
That bus will someday turn around
I had no letter
It's been six months, maybe better
I try forgetting him
But I love him more then ever
I have decided
I've waited long enough
If there was nothing wrong
He would return right on that bus
There must be trouble
So I'm leavin' on the double
If he can't get to me
I know he needs me desperately
Last time I saw him
Last time I saw my honey
Last time I saw him
He was looking fine
And as he waved goodbye
He said don't cry
I'm coming back, no rain or shine
Last time I saw him
Last time I saw my honey
Last time I saw him
He was greyhound-bound
And as he waved goodbye
He said don't cry
I'm coming back, no rain or shine
La de da, la da do
Do la da da, da da da
Last time I saw him
He was looking fine
And as he waved goodbye
He said don't cry
I'm coming back, no rain or shine

Diana Ross | Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! | /d/diana+ross/let+it+snow+let+it+snowlet+it+snow_20040044.html | Oh the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've bought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if you'll really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still goodbying
But as long as you love me so
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

Diana Ross | Let Somebody Know | /d/diana+ross/let+somebody+know_20040338.html | Love we all hope to find
It'll come so easy or can take its time
But I've never given up along the way
One day you're gonna raise your blinds
And every little dew drop is a treasured find, oh my
When you say the things you have to say
Wake up and the day is dawning
It's another chance to change your mind
Reaching for the stars around you
I found you
Let somebody know what you really love
Show somebody just what you're made of
Always in a rush, don't you see the sign?
You can always take the time
(Let somebody know)
Just when you think you got it done
In just a moment it can turn around, oh my
When you're wishing for yesterday
Wake up and the day is dawning
It's another chance to change your mind
Reaching for the stars around you
I found you
Let somebody know what you really love
Show somebody just what you're made of
Always in a rush, don't you see the sign?
You can always take the time
To let somebody know that you really care
Let somebody see what you have to share
Oh yeah
It's a simple thing
To let somebody know
Always in a rush, don't you see the sign?
You can always take the time
Let somebody feel the tears that you cry
Let them know the love is still alive, oh alive
It's a simple thing
To let somebody know (somebody)
Let somebody know (somebody)
Let somebody know, oh yeah (somebody)
Somebody baby
Let somebody know, oh yeah (somebody)
You gotta let somebody know (somebody), somebody
Let somebody know (somebody)

Diana Ross | Let's Do It | /d/diana+ross/lets+do+it_20709785.html | But that's why birds do it, bees do it
Even educated fleas do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
In Spain the best upper sets do it
Lithuanians and let's do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
The Dutch in old Amsterdam do it
Not to mention the Finns
Folks in Siam do it
Think of Siamese twins
Some Argentine's without means do it
People say in Boston even beans do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Romantic sponges they say do it
Oysters down in oyster bay do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Cold Cape Cod clams 'gainst their wish do it
Even lazy jellyfish do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Electric eels, I might add do it
Though it shocks 'em I know
Why ask if shad do it
Waiter bring me shad roe
In shallow shoals, English soles do it
Goldfish in the privacy of bowls do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
The dragonflies in the reeds do it
Sentimental centipedes do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Mosquitoes, heaven forbid, do it
So does every katydid do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
The most refined ladybugs do it
When a gentleman calls
Moths in your rugs do it
What's the use of mothballs?
Locusts in trees do it, bees do it
Even over educated fleas do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Let's do it, let's fall in love

Diana Ross | Let's Go Up | /d/diana+ross/lets+go+up_20040274.html | Comin' back on
Comin' back strong
Turnin' back on
Takin' the heat out in the street
Baby too long
Can you tell me how much fire
Will it take to get us higher
Hearin' the news, singin' the blues
You gotta choose
Stand up and fight, do it tonight
What can you lose
In a world of fading treasure
Love is the greatest pleasure
So let's go up, forget about down
'Cause in this town, it's gonna get rough
And what goes down, is up to us
So let's go up, baby let's go up
When it gets hot, like it or not
You want to run
Though it's so warm here in my arms
You won't get burned
In a world of fading treasures
The pleasure of your treasures
Can not be measured up
Ooh, I can't free a person from their charms
But I'll tell you this for sure
If nothing is ventured
Then nothing is gained, let's go

Diana Ross | Love Is Here And Now You're Gone | /d/diana+ross/love+is+here+and+now+youre+gone_20804166.html | Love is here
(Love is here)
And oh my darling, now you're gone
(Now you're gone)
Love is here
(Love is here)
And oh my darling, now, now you're gone
(Now you're gone)
You persuaded me to love you
And I did but instead of tenderness
I found heartache instead
Into your arms, I felt so unaware
Of the loneliness that was waiting there
(Look what you've done)
You close the door to your heart
(Look what you've done)
And you turned the key
Locked your love away from me
Love is here
(Love is here)
And oh my darling, now you're gone
(Now you're gone)
You made me love you
(You made me love you)
And oh my darling, now you're gone
(Now you're gone)
You said loving you would make life beautiful
With each passing day
But as soon as love came into my heart
You turned and you walked, just walked away
(Look what you've done)
You stripped me of my dreams
(Look what you've done)
You gave me faith, then took my hope
Look at me now
Look at me
See, what loving you has done to me
Look at my face
(Look at my face)
See, how cryin' has left it's trace
(Left it's trace)
After you made me all your own
(You made me all your own)
Then you left me all alone
(You left me all alone)
You made your words sound so sweet
Knowing that your love I couldn't keep
(Look what you've done)
My heart cries out for your touch
(Look what you've done)
But you're not there
And the lonely cry fades in the air
Love is here
(Love is here)
And oh my darling, now you're gone
(Now you're gone)
Love is here
(Love is here)
And oh my darling, now you're gone
(Now you're gone)
You made me love you
(You made me love you)
Oh, my darling, now you're gone
(Now you're gone)
You made me love you
(You made me love you)
Oh, my darling, now you're gone
(Now you're gone)
You made me love you
(You made me love you)

Diana Ross | Love Or Loneliness | /d/diana+ross/love+or+loneliness_20040275.html | (r. parker, jr.)
Had a nice time
I enjoyed the picture show
When you walked me to my door
I knew I wanted more
When I asked you in
It was already getting late
Though I knew better
I didn't eaven hesitate
I like the way you hold me
And make me feel so good
Though I say I wouldn't
You kinda knew that I would
It's been so long since I've
Been with a man
Better ask myself
While I still can
Is this love or is it just loneliness
When the sun comes up is this something we will both regret
Is this love or is it just loneliness
We ought to stop and ask ourselves is it really worth it
And how about you
Do you really want me
Or am I just here
To please your masculinity
You don't see me emough
To let me know you care
You know the worst thing for a woman
Is a sometime love affair
Seems like every time
I satisfy your needs
You don't call me back
For two or three weeks
What am I gonna do
I just can't fight
The temptation of loving you
Is this love or is it just loneliness
When the sun comes up is this something we will both regret
Is this love or is it just loneliness
We ought to stop and ask ourselves is it really worth it
Sometimes it's hard
To tel the difference
I'm just not sure
If it's worth it
Is this love or is it just loneliness
When the sun comes up is this something we will both regret
Is this love or is it just loneliness
We ought to stop and ask ourselves is it really worth it
'cause you never show up 'til midnight
Then you go home early
Now you know that ain't right
I've got a question I wanna ask you
Do you really love me or am I just a fool
Is this love or is it just loneliness
When the sun comes up is this something we will both regret
Is this love or is it just loneliness
We ought to stop and ask ourselves is it really worth it

Diana Ross | Love Story | /d/diana+ross/love+story_10085174.html | I like your brother
I like your mother
And I like you !
I like you too
We'll get a preacher
A preacher already ?
I'll buy the ring
And we can hire a band
With a violin and an accordeon
And a tenor who can sing
You and me, you and me, baby
You and me...
We'll have a kid
Oh... we may have to rent one
He's got to be straight
'Cause we don't want a bent one
We sure want no bent one
He will drink his baby booze
From a big breast cup
Someday he'll may be president
If things loosen up
You and me, you and me, baby
You and me...
When our kids are grown
With kids of their own
They'll send us away
To a little home in Florida
Where we can play checkers
Playin' checkers can be fun
You and me, you and me, baby
You and me...

Diana Ross | Love Will Make It Right | /d/diana+ross/love+will+make+it+right_20040276.html | (d. fagen)
I knew from the first time I saw you
I wanted you for myself
You feel the same though it's got to be wrong
We each belong to somebody else
Once it was vague desire
Now it's a raging fire
Those things that people are saying
Can't keep our love on the shelf
How long can we talk about it
What good is life without it
Love will make it right
Love will make it right
Love will choose the night
Love will make it right
Four friends are driving on Sunday
Our smiles a useless disguise
By now they know what's inside our hearts
My sweet, it shows in your eyes
Through all the foolish laughter
They know just what we're after
How long can we keep on living
This life of unspoken lies
Some will be touched with sadness
But how can we stop the madness
Love will make it right
Love will make it right
Love will choose the night
Love will make it right
Some will be touched with sadness
But how can we stop the madness
Love will make it right
Love will make it right
Love will choose the night
Love will make it right

Diana Ross | More Today Than Yesterday | /d/diana+ross/more+today+than+yesterday_20700573.html | I don't remember what day it was
I didn't notice what time it was
All I know is that I fell in love with you
And if all my dreams come true
I'll be spending time with you
Every day's a new day in love with you
With each day comes a new way of loving you
Every time I kiss your lips my mind starts to wander
And if all my dreams come true
I'll be spending time with you
Oh, I love you more today than yesterday
But not as much as tomorrow
I love you more today than yesterday
But, darling, not as much as tomorrow
Tomorrow's date means springtime's just a day away
Cupid, we don't need ya now, be on your way
I thank the lord for love like ours that grows ever stronger
And I always will be true, I know you feel the same way too
Oh, I love you more today than yesterday
But not as much as tomorrow
I love you more today than yesterday
But only half as much as tomorrow
Every day's a new day, every time I love ya
Every way's a new way, every time I love ya
Every day's a new day, every time I love ya
Every way's a new way, every time I love ya

Diana Ross | My Man | /d/diana+ross/my+man_10084970.html | It's caused me a lot
But there's one thing that I got
It's my man
Cold and wet
Tied you bet
All of that I'll soon forget
With my man
He's not much for looks
And no hero out of books
But I love him
Two or three girls has he
That he likes as well as me
But I love him
I don't no why I should
He isn't true
He beats me to
What can I do?
Oh my man, I love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is right, all right
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know
I'll come back on my knees some day
Whatever my man is
I am his for ever more
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know
I'll come back on my knees some day
Whatever my man is
I am his for ever more

Dire Straits | Expresso Love | /d/dire+straits/expresso+love_20040659.html | She gets the sun in the daytime
Perfume in the dusk
And she comes out in the night time
With the honeysuckle musk
Because she smells just like a rose
And she tastes just like a peach
She got me walking where the wildlife goes
I'd do anything to reach her
And she was made in heaven
Heaven's in the world
Is this just expresso love
You know I'm crazy for the girl
She call me just to talk
She's my lover, she's a friend of mine
She says hey mister you wanna take a walk
In the wild west end sometime
And I get trouble with my breathing
She says boys don't know anything
But I know what I want
I want everything
Well I feel so good 'cause I feel so good
And I feel so good 'cause it feels so right
I was made to go with my girl
Like a saxophone was made to go with the night
And she can raise one eyebrow
Put her hand on my hip
And I close one eye now
Sweat on her tip
And I surrender to the fever
She love me so tender I got to believe her
Love? expresso love's alright
I don't want no sugar in it
Thank you very much
All wired up on it all fired up on it
Expresso touch
Hey maestro expresso
It's just another one just like the other one
Hey maestro expresso
Is this another one just like the other one

Dire Straits | I Think I Love You Too Much | /d/dire+straits/i+think+i+love+you+too+much_20040793.html | I'm not alone sitting right there
How come I get the feeling you'd vanish into the air
I love you more than anybody else, babe
Can't you tell I'm an easy touch.
Baby, baby, I think I love you too much
If I picked you up, oh you'd slip right away
If I locked you up, you'd find a way to make me pay.
You're gonna hurt me more than anybody else babe
Can't you tell I'm an easy touch
Baby, baby, I think I love you too much.
Guess I'm gonna get you what you want
'Cause I'm so into you
You don't even give an inch to me baby
Though I've been giving you a mile or two
I'm not alone sitting right there
How come I get the feeling you'd vanish into the air
I love you more than anybody else, babe
Can't you tell I'm an easy touch.
Baby, baby, I think I love you too much
If I picked you up, oh you'd slip right away
If I locked you up, you'd find a way to make me pay.
You're gonna hurt me more than anybody else babe
Can't you tell I'm an easy touch
Baby, baby, I think I love you too much.
Baby, baby, I think I love you too much (repeat)

Dire Straits | Industrial Disease | /d/dire+straits/industrial+disease_20040724.html | Now warning lights are flashing down at Quality Control
Somebody threw a spanner and they threw it in a hole
There's rumors in the loading bay and anger in the town
Somebody blew the whistle and the walls are closing down
There's a meeting in the boardroom they're trying to trace the smell
There's leaking in the washroom there's a stinking personnel
Somewhere in the corridors someone was heard to sneeze
'Goodness me could this be Industrial Disease?
The caretaker was crucified for sleeping at his post
They're refusing to be pacified it's him they blame the most
The watchdog's got rabies the foreman's got fleas
And everyone's concerned about Industrial Disease
There's panic on the switchboard tongues are in knots
Some come out in sympathy some come out in spots
Some blame the management some the employees
Everybody knows it's the Industrial Disease
The work force is disgusted downs tools and walks
Innocence is injured experience just talks
Everyone seeks damages and everyone agrees
That these are 'classic symptoms of a monetary squeeze'
On ITV and BBC they talk about the curse
Philosophy is useless, theology is worse
History boils over there's an economics freeze
Sociologists invent words that mean 'Industrial Disease'
Doctor Parkinson declared 'I'm not surprised to see you here
You've got smokers cough from smoking, brewer's droop from drinking beer
I don't know how you came to get the Betty Davis ease
But worst of all young man you've got Industrial Disease'
He wrote me a prescription he said 'you are depressed
But I'm glad you came to see me to get this off your chest
Come back and see me later - next patient please
Send in another victim of Industrial Disease'
I go down to Speaker's Corner I'm thunderstruck
They got free speech, tourists, police in trucks
Two men say they're Jesus one of them must be wrong
There's a protest singer singing a protest song - he says
They want to have a war to keep their factories
They want to have a war to keep us on our knees
They want to have a war to stop us buying Japanese
They want to have a war to stop Industrial Disease
They're pointing out the enemy to keep you deaf and blind
They want to sap your energy, incarcerate your mind
They give you Rule Brittania, gassy beer, page three
Two weeks in Espana and Sunday striptease'
Meanwhile the first Jesus says 'I'd cure it soon
Abolish Monday mornings and Friday afternoons'
The other one's out on hunger strike he's dying by degrees
How come Jesus gets Industrial Disease?

Dire Straits | Iron Hand | /d/dire+straits/iron+hand_20040752.html | With all the clarity of dream
The sky so blue, the grass so green
The rank and file and the navy blue
The deep and strong, the straight and true
The blue line they got the given sign
The belts and boots march forward in time
The wood and leather the club and shield
Swept like a wave across the battlefield
Now with all the clarity of dream
The blood so red, the grass so green
The gleam of spur on chestnut flank
The cavalry did burst upon the ranks
Oh the iron will and iron hand
In England's green and pleasant land
No music for the shameful scene
That night they said it had even shocked the queen
Well alas we've seen it all before
Knights in armor, days of yore
The same old feasance and the same old crimes
We haven't changed since ancient times

Dire Straits | Lions | /d/dire+straits/lions_20040717.html | Red sun go down way over dirty town
Starlings are sweeping around crazy shoals
A girl is there high heeling across the square
Wind blows around in her hair and the flaqs upon the poles
Waiting in the crowd to cross at the light
She looks around to find a face she can like
Church bell clinging on trying to get a crowd for Evensong
Nobody cares to depend to depend upon the chime it plays
They're all in the station praying for trains
Congregation late again
It's getting darker all the time these flagpole days
Drunk old soldier he gives her a fright
He's crazy lion howling for a fight
Strap hanging gunshot sound
Doors slamming on the overground
Starlings are tough but the lions are made of stone
Her evening paper is horror torn
But there's hope later for Capricorns
Her lucky stars give her just enough to get her home
Then she's reading about a swing to the right
But she's thinking about a stranger in the night
I'm thinking about the lions tonight
What happened to the lions

Dire Straits | On Every Street | /d/dire+straits/on+every+street_20040783.html | There's gotta be a record of you someplace
You gotta be on somebody's books
The lowdown, a picture of your face
Your injured looks
The sacred and profane
The pleasure and the pain
Somewhere your fingerprints remain concrete
And it's your face I'm looking for on every street
A ladykiller, regulation tattoo
Silver spurs on his heels
Says, what can I tell you, as I'm standing next to you
She threw herself under my wheels
Oh it's a dangerous road
And a hazardous load
And the fireworks over liberty explode in the heat
And it's your face I'm looking for on every street
A three-chord symphony crashes into space
The moon is hanging upside down
I don't know why it is I'm still on the case
It's a ravenous town
And you still refuse to be traced
Seems to me such a waste
And every victory has a taste that's bittersweet
And it's your face I'm looking for on every street

Dire Straits | Ride Across The River | /d/dire+straits/ride+across+the+river_20040683.html | I'm a soldier of freedom in the army of man
We are the chosen, we're the partisan
The cause it is noble and the cause it is just
We are ready to pay with our lives if we must
Gonna ride across the river deep and wide
Ride across the river to the other side
I'm a soldier of fortune, I'm a dog of war
And we don't give a damn who the killing is for
It's the same old story with a different name
Death or glory, it's the killing game
Gonna ride across the river deep and wide
Ride across the river to the other side
Nothing gonna stop them as the day follows the night
Right becomes wrong, the left becomes the right
And they sing as they march with their flags unfurled
Today in the mountains, tomorrow the world
Gonna ride across the river deep and wide
Ride across the river to the other side

Dire Straits | Skateaway | /d/dire+straits/skateaway_20040733.html | I seen a girl on a one way corridor
Stealing down a wrong way street
For all the world like an urban toreador
She had wheels on on her feet
Well the cars do the usual dances
Same old cruise and the kerbside crawl
But the roller girl she's taking chances
They just love to see her take them all
No fears alone at night she's sailing through the crowd
In her ears the phones are tight and the music's playing loud
Hallelujah here she comes queen roller ball
Enchante what can I say don't care at all
You know she used to have to wait around
She used to be the lonely one
But now that she can skate around town
She's the only one
No fears alone at night she's sailing through the crowd
In her ears the phones are tight and the music's playing loud
She gets rock and roll and a rock and roll station
And a rock and roll dream
She's making movies on location
She don't know what it means
But the music make her want to be the story
And the story was whatever was the song what it was
Roller girl don't worry
DJ play the movies all night long
She tortures taxi drivers just for fun
She like to read their lips
Says toro toro taxi see ya tomorrow my son
I swear she let a big truck grease her hip
She got her own world in the city
You can't intrude on her
She got her own world in the city
'Cause the city's been so rude to her
No fears alone at night she's sailing through the crowd
In her ears the phones are tight and the music's playing loud
She gets rock and roll and a rock and roll station
And a rock and roll dream
She's making movies on location
She don't know what it means
But the music make her want to be the story
And the story was whatever was the song what it was
Roller girl don't worry
DJ play the movies all night long
Come slipping and sliding
Life's roller ball
Slipping and a sliding
Skate away that's all
Shala shalay hey hey skate away
She's going singing shala shalay hey hey
Skate away

Dire Straits | Tunnel Of Love | /d/dire+straits/tunnel+of+love_20040744.html | Getting crazy on the waltzers but it's the life that I choose
Sing about the six blade sing about the switchback and a torture tattoo
And I been riding on a ghost train where the cars they scream and slam
And I don't know where I'll be tonight but I'd always tell you where I am
In a screaming ring of faces I seen her standing in the light
She had a ticket for the races just like me she was a victim of the night
I put my hand upon the lever said let it rock and let it roll
I had the one arm bandit fever there was an arrow through my heart and my soul
And the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above
And I'm just high on the world
Come on and take a low ride with me girl
On the tunnel of love
It's just the danger when you're riding at your own risk
She said you are the perfect stranger she said baby let's keep it like this
It's just a cakewalk twisting baby step right up and say
Hey mister give me two give me two 'cause any two can play
And the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above
And I'm just high on the world
Come on and take a low ride with me girl
On the tunnel of love
Well it's been money for muscle another whirligig
Money for muscle another girl I dig
Another hustle just to make it big
And rock away rock away
And girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did
Like the Spanish city to me when we were kids
Oh girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did
Like the Spanish city to me when we were kids
She took off a silver locket she said remember me by this
She put her hand in my pocket I got a keepsake and a kiss
And in the roar of dust and diesel I stood and watched her walk away
I could have caught up with her easy enough but something must have made me
stay
And the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above
And I'm just high on the world
Come on and take a low ride with me girl
On the tunnel of love
And now I'm searching through these carousels and the carnival arcades
Searching everywhere from steeplechase to palisades
In any shooting gallery where promises are made
To rock away rock away from Cullercoats and Whitley bay out to rock away
And girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did
Like the Spanish city to me when we were kids
Girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did
Like the Spanish city to me when we were kids

The things they do the things they say
But baby, I'll wipe away those bitter tears
I'll chase away those restless fears
That turn your blue skies into gray
Why worry
There should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now
Why worry now
Baby, when I get down I turn to you
And you make sense of what I do
And all the isn't hard is the same
But baby, just when this world seems mean and cold
Our love comes shinning red and gold
And all the rest is by the way
Why worry
There should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now
Why worry now

Dire Straits | Wonderful Tonight | /d/dire+straits/wonderful+tonight_20344902.html | It's late in the evening
She wonders what clothes to wear
She puts on her make up
And brushes her long blonde hair.
And then she asked me
Do I look alright?
I said yes, you look wonderful tonight
We go to a party
And everyone turns to see
This beautiful woman walking around with me
And then she asked me
Do you feel alright?
I said yes, I don't feel good
I feel wonderful because I see
No love light in your eyes
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize
How much I love you.
It's time to go home now
And I got a big headache
So i give her the car keys
She helps me to bed
And then I told her
As I turned out the lights
I say my darling
You were wonderful tonight
Oh my darling,
You were wonderful tonight

Dire Straits | You And Your Friend | /d/dire+straits/you+your+friend_20040774.html | Will you and your friend come around
Are you and your friend gonna get on down
Will you and your friend come around
Or are you and your friend gonna let me down
If you talk to one another
I'm a hungry man
Let me know one way or the other
So I can make my plans
Will you and your friend come around
Or are you and your friend gonna get on down
Will you and your friend come around
Or are you and your friend gonna get on down
I relive the situation
Still see it in my mind
You got my imagination
Working overtime

Dire Straits | Your Latest Trick | /d/dire+straits/your+latest+trick_10085778.html | All the late night bargains have been struck
Between the satin beans and their bells
Prehistoric garbage trucks
Got the city to themselves
Echoes and the roars dinosaurs
They're all doing the monster mash
And most of the taxis and the whores
Are only taking calls for cash
I don't know how it happened
It all took place so quick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick
My door was standing open
Security was laid back and lax
But it was only my heart got broken
You must have had a pass key made out of wax
You played robbery with insolence
And I played the blues in twelve bars on Lover's Lane
And you never did have the intelligence to use
The twelve keys hanging off my chain
I don't know how it happened
It all took place so quick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick
Now it's past last call far alcohol
Past recall has been here and gone
The landlord finally paid us all
The satin jazzmen have put away their horns
And we're standing outside of these wonderlands
Looking so bereaved and so bereft
Like a bowery bum when he finally understands
The bottle's empty and there's nothing left
I don't know how it happened
It all took place so quick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick

Look, everyone dies

Grabbing headlines
Ah ha ha Yeah!

Divine | I Never Thought | /d/divine/i+never+thought_20040853.html | Standing with your boys on the corner
I see them look at me walking by
But they don't understand how I'm feeling
'cause boy you are the apple of my eye
1 I never thought no never
That I'd find someone to love me like you do
I never thought in a million years
That you would make every one of my dreams come true
Baby there ain't no need for you to worry
'cause you can turn your back on me
You know that I'll still be waitin'
Right under the sycamore tree
2 - You're all I see, you're all I see
I won't let nobody ever come between you and me
See, you're all I see
Every time they step to me
I don't pay them any mind
It's all about you and me
Repeat 1
Repeat 2
As clear as the sea
Blow around tropical breeze
I see only we seven seas seven stars
Cooling at the park down in Nassau
Just think, you and me, love
Say it's all, move your lips slow
come close to my ear
It's here my dear where your fears come clear
There's little time left to escape and make best
All I see is three to complete
Making sweet sugar, honey, all I see
All we need, the true life is when we can just be
I never thought in a million years
That you would make every one of my dreams come true
Repeat 1 until fade

Oh you were the one for me baby

Banana fana for firley
Fe fi for firley
shirley!
Lincoln Lincoln bo bincoln
Banana fana for fincoln
Fe fi for fincoln
lincoln!
C'mon everybody, yeah!
I said let's play a game
I betcha I can make a rhyme
Out of anybody's name.
The first letter of the name
I'll treat it like it wasn't there
But if a "B" or an "F" ever will appear
Then I say a for and a fi and I say the name
Banana fano and for
And then I say the name again
And I say the name again
With an "M" this time
There isn't a name
That I can't rhyme.
Arnold Arnold bo barnold
Banana fano for farnold
Fe fi mo marnold
arnold!
But if the first two letters
Are ever the same
Drop them both
And say the name
Like Bob, Bob drop the "B" spells ob
or Fran, Fran drop the "F" spells ran
or Mary, Mary drop the "M" spells ary
That's the only rule that is contrary.
Now let's say Divi, Divi!
Now Divi with a "B", Bivi!
Then banana fana for, banana fana for!
Then you say the name again with an "F", very plain, Fivi!
Fe fi then mo, and fe fi then mo
Then you say the name again with an "M" this time, Mivi!
And there isn't any name that I can't rhyme
Now do Divi!
Divi Divi bo bivi
Banana fana for fivi
Fe fi mo mivi
divi!
Let's do Marsha
Marsha Marsha bo barsha
Banana fana for farsha

Putting trouble on the run

Chorus
Twistin', twistin', everybody's feeling great
Twistin', twistin', twistin' the night away
Hit a man in evening clothes
How he got here I don't know
But man you oughta see him go
Twistin' the night away
He's dancing with the chick in slacks
She's mvoing up and back
Man there ain't nothing like
Twistin' the night away
(chorus 2x)
Lean up, lean back
Lean up, lean back
Walk two steps, take five
Now turn, now twist!
Lean up, lean back
Lean up, lean back
Push in, pull out
Now thrust, now twist!
Here's a fellow in blue jeans
Who's dancing with an older queen
Who's younger than her diamond rings
Twistin' the night away
Man you oughta see her go
Twistin' to the rock 'n' roll
Here you'll find the young and old
Twistin' the night away
(chorus 2x)

Turn around, take one final look at what you've left behind
Then walk away from the greatest lover you have ever known
Yes walk away, you're telling me that you can make it on your own
By yourself, all alone, without my help
Mister you just made a big mistake
[Chorus]
You think you're a man but you're only a boy
You think you're a man but you're only a toy
You think you're a man but you just couldn't see
You weren't man enough to safisfy me.
Shut the door, take a look around and tell me what you find
Shut the door, take a giant step for you and all mankind
Then don't come back, I always gave you so much more than you deserve
No, don't come back 'cause no one makes a fool of me
You've got a nerve to walk away, mark the words I'm gonna say
Mister you just made a big mistake.

Dolly Parton | A Christmas To Remember | /d/dolly+parton/a+christmas+to+remember_20041798.html | You've made this a Christmas to remember
Springtime feelin's in the middle of December
Strangers meet and they willingly surrender
Oh! What a Christmas to remember
Almost went to Aspen but something told me no
I considered Mammoth but there wasn't enough snow
And I even thought of Gatlinburg but that seemed so far to go
So I headed up to Tahoe for a Christmas on the slopes
And I had fantasized about Christmas in this way
Curled up by a fireplace in a Tahoe ski chalet
With a fast talking lover and some slow burning wood
But even in my wildest dreams it never got this good and
You've made this a Christmas to remember
Springtime feelin's in the middle of December
Change the radio and I'll turn the lights down dimmer
Oh! What a Christmas to remember
Strangers when we met, lovers as we leave
Christmas to remember, too good to believe
Don't know how or when, but I know we'll meet again
We'll come blowin' back to somewhere like some wild restless winter's wind
And you've made this a Christmas to remember
Springtime feelin's in the middle of December
Neath the mistletoe you kissed me warm and tender
Oh! What a Christmas to remember
We loved and laughed and played and joked
Sang Christmas songs and talked to folks
Sleighed the fields and skied the slopes
Then to the lodge for dinner
But now it's time for us to go
As our hearts melt like chimney snow
There's just one thing I want to know
Can we do this next winter
Oh! What a Christmas to remember
You've made this a Christmas to remember
Springtime feelin's in the middle of December
Though the fire is hot, we'll just have to let it simmer
Oh! What a Christmas to remember
You've made this a Christmas to remember
Springtime feelin's in the middle of December
Though it's cold outside we'll just stroke the burning embers
Oh! What a Christmas to remember

Dolly Parton | A Few Old Memories | /d/dolly+parton/a+few+old+memories_20041601.html | Just a few old memories
Slipped in through my door
Though I thought I had closed it
So tightly before
I can't understand it
Why it should bother my mind
For it all belongs to another place and time
Just a few old keep-sakes
Way back on the shelf
No, they don't mean nothin'
Well I'm surprised they're still left
Just a few old love letters
With the edges all brown
And an old faded picture
I keep turned upside-down
Just a few old memories
Going way back in time
Well I can hardly remember
I don't know why I'm cryin'
I can't understand it
Well I'm surprised myself
First thing tomorrow morning
I'll clean off that shelf
Just a few old keep-sakes
Way back on the shelf
No, they don't mean nothin'
Well I'm surprised that they're left
Just a few old love letters
With their edges all brown
And an old faded picture
I keep turned upside-down

Dolly Parton | A Lil' Ole Bitty Pissant Country Place | /d/dolly+parton/a+lil+ole+bitty+pissant+country+place_20237378.html | It's just a little bitty pissant country place
Ain't nothin' much to see
No drinking allowed, we get a nice quiet crowd, plain as it can be
It's just a piddly squatin' old time country place
Ain't nothing to hide at all
Just lots of good will and maybe one small thrill
But there's nothing dirty going on
Nothing dirty going on
We get simple farmers, local business men
Congress folks from Austin, young boys looking for sin
Now we used to get a lot of rough necks, when the oil boom was high
But pay day would get a little rowdy, thank God the field ran dry
Chorus:
It's just a little bitty pissant country place, nothing much to see
No drinking allowed, we get a nice quiet crowd, plain as it can be
It's just a piddly squatin no time country place, nothing to hide at all
Just lots of good will, and maybe one small thrill, but there's nothing dirty
going on
I don't hire no married girl, they're not on the ball
They got homes and husbands, they're not stable at all
You know they don't understand a thing about a proper business day
Now what's the point in opening up the store if you give the goods away
Repeat Chorus
Keep your language clean girls, keep your bedrooms neat
And don't hang around the town cafe and say hi on the street
Mind you P's and Q's and manners, and you don't need no other tools
Cause every girl that lives here knows my special no-no rules
Yea every girl that lives here knows Miss Mona's no-no rules
Ruby, Ray start em!
Beds are not to be wallowed in
That's the kind of thing that big fat lazy hogs do
And it don't make money!
Betrix!
I won't tolerate no tying my telephone with other peoples business
Eloise honey!
And please don't show us no tattoos
No hearts and flowers on your thigh
It's downright tacky
Brands for the cattle and that ain't what we're selling at Miss Mona's
Do you catch my drift?
I pay the food and the rent and the utilities
You keep your mind on your work responsibilities
Don't let your mouth overload your capabilities
And we can get along
Dawn!
Any bad habits you come in with, get rid off right now
Tatty Joe!
I can't stand no chewing gum it looks just like a cow
Lindy Lue!
Any one taking sick leave for to make real sure their sick
And every time you hear that bell...
You better get here double quick
And as for pimps
Pimps are something you don't need
To get your daily business done
Are you listening good?
Keep them leaches and blood suckers of the bathrobes
And I know how to use a gun
And nobody messes with my girls
And any questions you might have about the way I run this place
Don't grip and whine behind my back
Just tell me face to face, I'm open-minded, say it all
Then go upstairs and pack, the door's that way
She pays the food and the rent and the utilities
We keep our mind on our work responsibilities
Don't let your mouth overload your capabilities
And we can get along
Repeat Chorus
It's just a little bitty pissant country place, nothing much to see
No drinking allowed, we get a nice quiet crowd, plain as it can be
It's just a piddly squatin no time country place, nothing to hide at all
Just lots of good will and maybe one small thrill
Just lots of good will and maybe one small thrill
Just lots of good will and maybe one small thrill
But there's nothing dirty going on

Dolly Parton | Act Like A Fool | /d/dolly+parton/act+like+a+fool_20041800.html | (Dolly Parton)
You make me act like a fool
You treat me mean and cold and cruel
You make me do things that I hate to do
Why do you make me act like a fool?
Now that you know just how much I care
You treat me mean and it ain't right nor fair
I keep holdin' on though I don't know what to
While you make me act like a fool
You know just how to hurt me and you often do
When we're out in publib I start fightin' with you
You start trouble in private when nobody knows
Oh, then you go away smellin' just like a rose
Though you make me act like a fool
You treat me mean cold and cruel
You make me do things that I hate to do
Oh, why must you make me act like a fool?
You know just how to hurt me as you often do
You start flirtin' in public with somebody new
You start trouble in private when nobody knows
Oh then you go away smellin' just like a rose
Though you make me act like a fool
You treat mean and cold and cruel
You make me do things that I hate to do
Oh but why do you make, oh why do I let you
Make me look like a fool?

Dolly Parton | Afraid To Live And Afraid Of Dying | /d/dolly+parton/afraid+to+live+and+afraid+of+dying_20198393.html | They say most anything you eat could hurt your health
Be careful what you drink, don't harm yourself
And pollution in the air might make you sick
Makes you afraid to live, afraid that you might die too quick
Do the men that quote this danger really know
Life is gift to be enjoyed and not to worry so
The biggest danger sign that we should know
Make sure we're right with God, as through this world we go
We're afraid to live 'cause we're afraid of dyin'
And afraid to love the one we love, afraid they might be lyin'
We can't enjoy life when they say each thing might bring an early grave
We're afraid to live 'cause we're afraid of dyin'
Do the men that quote this danger really know?
Life is gift to be enjoyed, why worry so?
The biggest danger sign that we should know
Make sure we're right with God, as through this world we go
Make sure we're right with God, as through this world we go

Dolly Parton | Afraid To Love Again | /d/dolly+parton/afraid+to+love+again_20198394.html | If every time that you got hurt it left a scar
And if every dream you ever had broke your heart
If every time you made a plan the world came to an end
Then you'd know why I'm afraid to love again
If broken dreams are all it seems you've ever known
And hurt's the only thing you can depend upon
And if you should find misery to be your only friend
Then you'd know why I'm afraid to love again
If every time you look up a cloud should hide the sun
Pay dearly for each kindness ever shown to anyone
If everything you try should fail before you can begin
Then you'd know why I'm afraid to love again
Then you'd know why I'm afraid to love again

Dolly Parton | After The Goldrush | /d/dolly+parton/after+the+goldrush_20041766.html | Well I dreamed I saw the knight in armor coming
Saying something about a king
There were peasants singing and drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree
There was a fanfare blowing to the sun
That was floating on the breeze
Look at mother nature on the run
In the twenty-first century
Look at mother nature on the run
In the twenty-first century
I was lying in a burned out basement
With the full moon in my eyes
I was hoping for replacement
When the sun burst through the sky
There was a band playing in my head
And I felt like I could cry
I was thinking about what a friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie
Thinking about what a friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie
Well I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships flyin'
In the yellow haze of the sun
There was laughing, crying and colors flying
All around the chosen one
All in a dream, all in a dream, the loading had begun
Flying mother nature's silver seed to a new home in the sun
They were flying mother nature's silver seed to a new home

Dolly Parton | Alabama Sundown | /d/dolly+parton/alabama+sundown_20231303.html | The cold December wind seems bent on rockin' New York City
The town that's got me down to my last dime
And everywhere I go, the people seem in such a hurry
To keep this Mobile girl from feelin' fine
[Chorus]
Lord, what I'd give to see an Alabama sundown
The sun just seemed to drop in Mobile Bay
New York town has got a gifted way to keep a girl down
But that never was the Mobile way, no, no
That never was the Mobile way
A flashing sign says that you can rent a bed for just a dollar
In anybody's town, that price is cheap
It's a shame to know a girl would ever fall down to my standards
Cause I need ninety cents to go to sleep
[Chorus]
I felt so big the day I left that Mobile couldn't hold me
I thought there had to be a better way
But if I could find that man that first called Lady Luck a lady
That gentleman would surely learn to pray
[Chorus: x2]

Dolly Parton | All I Can Do | /d/dolly+parton/all+i+can+do_20041930.html | (Dolly Parton)
It's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from letting it show
Yeah it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from telling you so
I wasn't looking for love when I found you
Just someone to be with and have a good time
But I get these strange funny feelings around you
When you're not with me, you're still on my mind
And it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from letting it show
Yeah it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from telling you so
I had intended to wait for a long time
I thought that love would just mess up my plans
'Cause I had big plans for a bright shining future
Could this be my future that's holding my hand
And it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from letting it show
Yeah it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from telling you so
I need to tell you how I feel about you
But I'm so afraid that you don't feel the same
But if I don't tell you how I feel about you
I just might lose you, can I take that chance
And it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from letting it show
Yeah it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from telling you so

Dolly Parton | All I Need Is You | /d/dolly+parton/all+i+need+is+you_20237935.html | Find the loneliest girl in a thousand find the saddest eyes you've ever seen
Find someone who's always longing for you find that man and you found me
And all I need is you all I want is you to give my loving to all I need is you
Find a man who wakes up every morning and lives in a world of make believe
Find someone who's arms are aching for you you find that girl and you found me
And all I need is you all I want is you to give my loving to all I need is you
You're with me now so let the world forsake us
I've found my heaven here within your arms
And nothing in this world can separate us you're all I ever wanted all along
And all I need is you all I want is you to give my loving to all I need is you

Dolly Parton | Almost In Love | /d/dolly+parton/almost+in+love_20041801.html | (Parks)
Mama, I remember what you told me
You said you wait for love before you fall
But, mama, I am sorry, I guess it's gonna be love after all
'Cause mama, when he holds me
The air is thick and sweet
He asked me if I'd come tonight
And hold him in his sleep
And I'm almost in love
I can feel myself fallin'
Yes, I'm almost in love
I can hear my heart fallin'
'Cause I'm almost in
Yes, I'm almost in love
Mama, I've grown into a woman
I been growing stronger and stronger day by day
Mama, you know about children
You raise them then they'll go away
Mama, when he holds me
He thrills me through and through
So dry your eyes and teach me how to say goodbye to you
And I'm almost in love
I can feel myself fallin'
Yes, I'm almost in love
I can hear my heart fallin'
'Cause I'm almost in
Yes, I'm almost in love
Yes I'm almost in love
I can feel myself fallin'
Yes I'm almost in love
I can hear my heart fallin'
Yes I'm almost in love
I can feel myself fallin'
Yes I'm almost in love
I can hear my heart fallin'
'Cause I'm almost
Yes, I'm almost in love

Dolly Parton | Always The First Time | /d/dolly+parton/always+the+first+time_20694739.html | Now I've never stepped through the doors of a barroom or tasted the flavor of
wine
And I've never danced to the songs on a jukebox or held someone that wasn't
mine
But there's always the first time and if you don't change
Then I guess the first time can't be arranged can't be arranged
[ banjo ]
Now I've never dressed for the eyes of the stranger to sow seeds of lust in
his mind
And I've never walked down backroad of temptation to leave dirty footprints
behind
But there's always the first time...

Dolly Parton | Amazing Grace | /d/dolly+parton/amazing+grace_20268831.html | Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come
Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
Amazing grace, oh amazing grace
That saved a wretch like me
Oh amazing grace, amazing grace

Dolly Parton | Appalachian Memories | /d/dolly+parton/appalachian+memories_20041615.html | (Dolly Parton)
You oughta go north somebody told us
'Cause the air is filled with gold dust
And fortune falls like snow flakes in your hands
Now I don't recall you said it
But we'd lived so long on credit
And so we headed out to find our promised land
Just poor Appalachian farm folk
With nothing more than high hopes
We hitched our station wagon to a star
But our dreams all fell in on us
'Cause there was no land of promise
And it's a stuggle keepin' sight of who you are
Oh and these northern nights are dreary
And my southern heart is weary
I wonder how the old folks are back home
But I'll keep leanin' on sweet Jesus
I know He'll love and guide and lead us
Appalachian memories keep me strong
Ya know I've been thinkin' a whole lot lately
About what's been and what awaits me
It takes all I've got to give what life demands
You go insane if you give in to it
Life's a mill and I've been through it
I'm just thankful I'm creative with my hands
Oh and these northern nights are dreary
And my southern eyes are teary
Don't I wonder how the old folks are back home
But I'll keep leanin' on my Jesus
I know he'll love and guide and lead us
Appalachian memories keep me strong
I'll keep lookin' to the Father
Keep our heads above the water
Appalachian memories keep me strong

Dolly Parton | Applejack | /d/dolly+parton/applejack_20041802.html | (Dolly Parton)
He lived by the apple orchard in this little orchard shack
His real name was Jackson Taylor but I called him AppleJack
Now old AppleJack was loved by everyone he ever knew
AppleJack picked apples but he picked the banjo too
Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack
Play a song for me and I'll sing
Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack
Play a song, let your banjo ring
Now I'd go down to AppleJack's almost everyday
We'd sit and we'd drink applejack that old AppleJack had made
Then he'd take his banjo down then he'd ask me if I'd sing
And he would play the banjo and I'd play my tambourine
Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack
Play a song for me and I'll sing
Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack
Play a song, let your banjo ring
That's when I was just a kid and now that I am grown
All I have are memories, old AppleJack is gone
Oh but he left me his banjo and it always takes me back
And everytime I play it I still hear AppleJack
Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack
Play a song for me and I'll sing
Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack
Play a song, let your banjo ring
Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack
Play a song for me and I'll sing
Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack
Play a song, let your banjo ring
Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack
Play a song for me and I'll sing
Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack
Play a song, let your banjo ring

And I'll love you for as long as I live

Dolly Parton | As Soon As I Touched Him | /d/dolly+parton/as+soon+as+i+touched+him_20041642.html | He came to me like a bright idea
Shining like the sun
And the way his eyes burned into mine
I knew he must be the one
Oh, he drew me in like a magnet does
So I couldn't pull away
But the kind of lovin' that I gave to him
I'm not ashamed to say
Oh, as soon as I touched him
Soon as I touched him I felt like a woman
And the feelin' made me close my eyes
Soon as I touched I was born again
An' I heard myself cryin' like a new born baby cries
He told me what I meant to him
Swore that I was sent to him
All my lovin' went to him
Now he's gone, oh, he's gone
Now I hide myself from the light of day
So no one else can see
A part of him that I can't forget
That's growin' deep inside of me
Oh, as soon as I touched him
Soon as I touched him I felt like a woman
And the feelin' made me close my eyes
Soon as I touched I was born again
An' I heard myself cryin' like our new born baby cries
Soon as I touched him
As soon as I touched him I felt like a woman
And the feelin' made me close my eyes
Soon as I touched him
As soon as I touched him

Dolly Parton | Baby Come Out Tonight | /d/dolly+parton/baby+come+out+tonight_20041643.html | Baby, won't you come out tonight
Just come up the hill 'cause there's a full moon on the risin'
Hey baby, can't you steal away
You know I really need to see you tonight
I just got word you was packin' it in
What's the matter, this old town got you crazy again
I can see the sad look in your eyes
But I don't know how to say goodbye
And tomorrow, you're gonna have your day
Take your wife and you're gonna run away
Baby, while I'm wailin'
You'll be sailin' like a hog across the bay singin'
Ooo, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Baby, won't you come out tonight
Oh baby, won't you come out tonight
We'll run up the hill and we'll dance in the moonlight
Let me gaze into your eyes 'til we both go blind
Oh baby, can I see you tonight
I'm just tryin' to find a way to make it last
Good friends, they seem to slip away so fast
An' I know we're both headed down separate tracks
An' when ya' go, baby don't look back
There won't be no more sleepin' over on a Tuesday night
No more runnin' to the races for a dark horse at midnight
No more dancin' after hours, singin' in the showers
Or clingin' to each other in the soft mornin' light singin'
Ooo, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Oh baby, won't ya' come out tonight
Oh baby, won't ya' come out tonight
I'll meet ya' on the corner
And you'll be there at midnight
Oh baby, can you steal away
You know I really want to see ya' tonight
Ooo baby, can you come out tonight
We'll run up the hill and dance again in the moonlight
Oh baby, can you steal away
I really wanna see you tonight
Oh baby, won't ya' come out tonight
Come up the hill, there's a full moon on the rise
Oh baby, can ya' steal away
Baby, won't ya' come out tonight

I lose my mind from worrying over you
In a bar room filled with people all higher than a steeple
But I know why you do the things you do
And I curse the man that made you what you are today
I hope he dies a thousand times a thousand ways
Your eyes are filled with tears, sis let's get out of here
'Cause I love you, baby sister, let's go home
And I curse the man that made you what you are today

Yes, I'm going back home
Why I can't believe it's been this long

When I left my mountain home behind
I left them both so sad
My brothers and my sisters that were babies then are grown
Years have past and now at last, I'm on my way back home
Back home, back home
Yes I'm going back home
To the factory smoke and city life, I'm sayin' so long
I've shed a lot of tears through all the years that I've been gone
And I've spent a lot of time a' wishin' I could go back home
I got a letter from mama an'
Mama asked me if I'd come back home
She says it sure is lonesome now
Since all of us kids are all growed up and gone
I just can't hardly stand the thoughts of
Momma and daddy being left there all alone
That's really all I need to know
And now I'm on the road back home
Back home, back home
Yes, I'm going back home
To the smog an' smoke an' city life, I'm sayin' so long
I've shed a lot of tears through all the years that I've been gone
And I've spent a lot of time a' wishin' I could go back home
Back home, back home
Yes, I'm going back home

But that was before I met you
I never saw one that I wanted for mine

I thought I was swinging the world by the tail
I thought I could never be blue
I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved
But that was before I met you
I thought I'd stay single always be free
But that was before I met you
I said that no sweet thang could ever hold me
But that was before I met you
I thought I was swinging the world by the tail
I thought I could never be blue
I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved
But that was before I met you

Dolly Parton | Before Our Weakness Gets To Strong | /d/dolly+parton/before+our+weakness+gets+to+strong_20153097.html | What are we doing in this place alone is our desire to relive our past this
strong
True love we knew in the past is gone but our weakness lingers on
Let's go home before our weakness gets too strong
Long ago we let the flame of love burn out of control
Now we have no reason to reach for love that has grown cold
If we live our past in the present our future will be gone
Let's go home before our weakness gets too strong
[ fiddle ]
Line with temptation we raced into the past
On a road too small to let the past and the present pass
Are we going too fast to turn back and leave the past alone
Let's go home before our weakness gets too strong
Long ago we let the flame...
Let's go home before our weakness gets too strong

Is my name written in the book of life
If you want to be up there then down here you must prepare
And your name must be in the book of life
Get down on your knees and pray you from sin must turn away
Or your name won't be in the book of life
If you'll turn to Jesus now at his feet just humbly bow
Then your name will be in the book of life
[ piano ]
Don't you know that Christ was sent that from sin you could repent
So your name could be in the book of life
You will have a great surprise if you fell to recognize
That your name must be in the book of life
Get down on your knees and pray you from sin must turn away
Or your name won't be in the book of life
Don't delay and don't forget that from sin you could repent
Then your name will be in the book of life
Is my name written in the book of life

Dolly Parton | Chicken Every Sunday | /d/dolly+parton/chicken+every+sunday_20165473.html | Just because all my dresses are just cotton hand me downs
His family calls me the lower class
Cause we're only poor folks on the other side of town
They won't let him walk up my path
But my mama says don't worry when they say those things about you
You remember, you're just as good as him
Just because they got that big house sittin' way upon the hill
Why, you don't have to look up to them
We've got chicken every Sunday and the preacher comes around
And every Saturday morning daddy takes us all to town
And we'd go to the picture show, have picnics on the ground
Oh, that's the lower class then I'm glad that's what I am
Cause my mama don't belong to the ladies social set
My daddy can't afford the country club
His folks look down on me and they don't let us date
Cause they think that I'm not good enough
But my mama says forgive him honey, he ain't worth at all
And if anything, you're too good for him
Just because they've got money and a big fine house
Aha, we won't take no sad talks off them
We've got chicken every Sunday and the preacher comes around
And every Saturday morning daddy takes us all to town
And we'd go to the picture show, have picnics on the ground
Oh, that's the lower class then I'm glad that's what I am
We've got chicken every Sunday and the preacher comes around
And every Saturday morning daddy takes us in to town

Dolly Parton | Christmas Without You | /d/dolly+parton/christmas+without+you_20041815.html | Christmas without you
White Christmas and I'm blue
Like fireworks with no fuse
Christmas without you
The fireplace keeps burning and my thoughts keep turning
The pages of memories of time spent with you
Old Christmas songs we knew and used to make love to
Make it hard to get used to
Christmas without you
Christmas without you
White Christmas and I'm blue
I love you I miss you
So sad but so true
Christmas without you
Like a mystery with no clues
Like fireworks with no fuse
Christmas without you
The sweetest gift I know would be if the new snow
Could fall on your footsteps on this Christmas Eve
The most joyous Christmas if luck could be with us
Would be if Saint Nicholas brought you home to me
Christmas without you
White Christmas and I'm blue
I love you I miss you I need you
So sad but so true
Christmas without you, like a mystery with no clues
Like fireworks with no fuse
Christmas without you
Christmas without you
White Christmas and I'm blue
I love you I miss you
So sad but so true
Christmas without you, not something I can get used to
I just have no use
For Christmas without you
You know that I want you
You know that I need you
You know that I need you
You know that I want you
You know that I love you
I need you
I want you
Oh, yes I do!
You know that I want you
You know that I need you
You know that I need you
You know that I want you

Dolly Parton | Coat Of Many Colors | /d/dolly+parton/coat+of+many+colors_20041950.html | Back through the years
I go wanderin' once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
And how my momma put the rags to use
There were rags of many colors
Every piece was small
And I didn't have a coat
And it was way down in the fall
Momma sewed the rags together
Sewin' every piece with love
She made my coat of many colors
That I was so proud of
As she sewed, she told a story
From the bible, she had read
About a coat of many colors
Joseph wore and then she said
I hope this coat will bring you
Good luck and happiness
And I just couldn't wait to wear it
And momma blessed it with a kiss
My coat of many colors
That my momma made for me
Made only from rags
But I wore it so proudly
Although we had no money
I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me
So with patches on my britches
And holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many colors
I hurried off to school
Just to find the others laughing
And making fun of me
And my coat of many colors
My momma made for me
And oh I couldn't understand it
For I felt I was rich
And I told them of the love
My momma sewed in every stitch
And I told 'em all the story
Momma told me while she sewed
And how my coat of many colors
Was worth more than all their clothes
But they didn't understand it
And I tried to make them see
That one is only poor
Only if they choose to be
Now I know we had no money
But I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me
Made just for me

Come back to me
Come back and say you're still in love with me
Come back and say that I am all you'll ever need
Baby come back come back to me
Oh please come back to me
Come back and say you'll work it out with me
Come back to stay and say you're never gonna leave
Baby come back, come back to me
Oh and kiss me once again as only you can
Touch me like nobody else can do
Oh, oh, and hold me and show me you're still my man
And that you didn't need somebody new
Oh come back to me
Come back and hold this torch that's burning me
Come back and promise me eternity
Baby come back, won't you come back to me?
Kiss me once again as only you can
Touch me like nobody else can do
Oh, oh, oh, and hold me and show me you're still my man
And that you didn't need somebody new
Oh, come back to me
Come back and mend this broken heart in me
Without your love I know I'll never be complete
Baby come back, won't you come back to me
Oh please come back to me
Baby come back, baby come back to me
Baby come back, come back and say I'm all you need
Come back, won't you come back to me
Come back to me
Come back and say you're still in love with me
Come back and say that I am all you'll ever need
Baby come back won't you come back to me
Oh, please come back to me
Come back and hold this torch that's burning me
Come back and promise me eternity...

Dolly Parton | Could I Have Your Autograph | /d/dolly+parton/could+i+have+your+autograph_20041816.html | (Dolly Parton)
Hello, I don't know me from Adam, you don't know me from Eve
I just came here tonight 'cause I was lonely
You're no Elvis Presley, I'm no Marilyn Monroe
But I do think you're sexy, just thought I'd tell you so
Hey could I have your autograph
Your name and your number on a small photograph
I'd like to know you and what you're all about
Hey could I have your autograph
I've had my eyes on you and you're worth lookin' at
Could I ask you out or should a lady do that
You may not be famous but you look like a star
You should be in movies as cute as you are
Hey could I have your autograph
Your name and your number on a small photograph
Could I interest you in a romance perhaps
Hey could I have your autograph
Got my heart in my hands and my head in the clouds
And you're everything every girl dreams about
And being with you would be heaven no doubt
What I wouldn't do for your autograph
Oh could I have your autograph
Oh could I have your autograph
Hey could I have your autograph
I like your body could I help you work it out
Maybe moving to the music playing on the phonograph
Hey could I have your autograph
Oh could I have your autograph
You know you're just the kind to makes a woman real proud
Would you take a chance on a girl from the South
Could I have your autograph

Dolly Parton | Country Is As Country Does | /d/dolly+parton/country+is+as+country+does_20916457.html | I can live in a mansion or a double-wide
Eat sushi raw or my catfish fried
Wherever I am, then that's where I belong
'Cause I'm quite content with who I am
And if you ain't, well, kiss my ham
Country is as country does and I'm country to the bone
Country is as country does
It's the way I am and it's the way I was
It's the way I always will be, that's for sure
Country born and country bred
Countrified and country-fed
A country heart and a country head
'Cause I'm country to the core
Now, I can drive a tractor or a Cadillac
I can fly first class or slum in the back
But I'll be the same ol' gal when I arrive
Oh I can wear denim or I can wear silk
Drink champagne or chocolate milk
Take the best or live with less, 'cause a country girl survives
Country is as country does
It's the way I am and it's the way I was
And the way I'll be until they lay me low
Country born and country bred
I'm countrified and I'm country-fed
And I'll be that way 'til I'm country dead
'Cause I'm country head to toe
And what you see is what you get
Nothing's ever changed me yet
Nothing will, it's a pretty safe bet
'Cause I'm country through and through
Oh, that's country!
Country is as country does
It's the way I am and it's the way I was
It's the way I'll be until my dying day
I'm country born and country bred
Countrified and country-fed
And nothing done and nothing said can change my country ways
Nothing done and nothing said
Nothing's gonna change my country ways
I don't think so
Wouldn't change if I could
Country is as country does
It's the way I is and it's the way I was
Country born and country bred
I'm countrified and I'm country-fed, you know that
I'm country (she's country)
But now that don't mean I can't go to town!

Dolly Parton | Country Road | /d/dolly+parton/country+road_20041571.html | Saw you turnin' down main street
In your big, black fancy car
You were dressed up fit to kill
With a pretty girl on your arm
You spun around and you headed up town
Where the neon lights all shine
Left me choking in a cloud of dust
You never pay me no mind
Chorus:
You're livin' in the fast lane
I guess I'm just too slow
I never wore silk or fancy furs
Just plain ole calico
I'll never be a fast lane lover
And they're the only kind you take up town
I am just a country road
That you keep turnin' down
If you ever hit a dead end street
If it's love that you're looking for
You can always turn around
And beat a path right to my door
Do I have to draw you a map
You seem to know your way around
So when you're tired of spinnin' your wheels
Baby, we can go to town
Repeat Chorus
I'll never be a fast lane lover
And they're the only kind you take up town
I am just a country road
That you keep turnin' down
I am just a country road
That you keep turnin' down
Repeat Chorus

Now I don't hardly know her
But I think I could love her
Crimson and clover
Ah
Well if she come walkin' over
Now I been waitin' to show her
Crimson and clover

My mind's such a sweet thing
I wanna do everything
What a beautiful feeling
Crimson and clover
Over and over
[Instrumental break]
Crimson and clover, over and over

Dolly Parton | D. I. V. O. R. C. E. | /d/dolly+parton/d+i+v+o+r+c+e_20041818.html | Our little boy is four years old and quite a little man
So we spell out the words we don't want him to understand
Like T-O-Y or maybe S-U-R-P-R-I-C-E
But the words we're hiding from him now
Tear the heart right out of me
Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E becomes final today
Me and little J-O-E will be goin' away
I love you both and this will be pure H-E double L for me
Oh, I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E
Watch him smile, he thinks it's Christmas
Or his 5th Birthday and he thinks C-U-S-T-O-D-Y spells fun or play
I spell out all the hurtin' words and turn my head when I speak
'Cause I can't spell away this hurt that's drippin' down my cheek
Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E becomes final today
Me and little J-O-E will be goin' away
I love you both and this will be pure H-E double L for me
Oh, I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E

Dolly Parton | Do I Ever Cross Your Mind | /d/dolly+parton/do+i+ever+cross+your+mind_20041619.html | Oh, sometimes I go walking through fields where we walked
Long ago in the sweet used to be
And the flowers still grow, but they don't smell as sweet
As they did when you picked them for me
Chorus:
And when I think of you and the love we once knew
How I wish we could go back in time
Do you ever think back on old memories like that
Or do I ever cross your mind
Do you ever wake up lonely in the middle of the night
Because you miss me, do you darling
Oh, and do your memories ever take
You back into another place in time
And do you ever miss the feelings
And the love we shared when you were with me, tell me darling
Or do I ever cross your mind
Oh, how often I wish that again I could kiss
Your sweet lips like I did long ago
And how often I long for those two loving arms
That once held me so gentle and close
Repeat chorus

Dolly Parton | Do You Hear The Robins Sing | /d/dolly+parton/do+you+hear+the+robins+sing_20695153.html | Where you live you say the view is so beautiful
And the astroturf that's on your lawn stays green the whole year around
And the buildings are so tall they almost reach heaven
But do you ever ever hear the robins sing
Do you hear the robins singing in the springtime
While a mockingbird sings his happy song
Is all the beauty in your world this artificial thing
Do you ever ever hear the robins sing
[ ac.guitar ]
Where I live the butterflies still kiss the roses
And forgetmenots still grow along the shady lane
And the weeping willow trees still swaying in the breeze
And often I still hear the robins sing
Do you hear the robins...
Do you ever ever hear the robins sing

Dolly Parton | Do You Think That Time Stands Still | /d/dolly+parton/do+you+think+that+time+stands+still_20694830.html | You left you didn't say goodbye
You never gave me a reason why
My tears are dried now it's been a while
Now there you szand you're back again
Do you think that time stands still do you think that time stands still
Things have changed I've rearranged so many things
Do you think that time stands still do you think that time stands still
It never has it never will do you think that time stands still
You won't to start where we left off
Somebody found the love you lost
Love has its price we've paid the cost
We lose and learn now it's your turn
Do you think that time stands still...
Do you think that time stands still...
Oh do you think that time stands still...

Dolly Parton | Don't Call It Love | /d/dolly+parton/dont+call+it+love_20041951.html | Nobody believes that I really care for you
They don't think my heart is true
I don't think you agree
You know I'm a lifetime gaurantee
So if they ask you what you mean to me
Don't call it love
Heaven's above
We got a better thing, baby
Don't call it love
'Cause that ain't enough
Just tell 'em you're my everything
Go on and tell 'em baby
Nobody believes we got somethin' they ain't got
They've never seen a fire this hot
They never got that far
We're burning as bright as any star
So if they ask you what your feelings are
Don't call it love
Heaven's above
We've got a better thing, baby
Don't call it love
'Cause that ain't enough
Just tell 'em you're my everything
Go ahead and tell 'em baby
Feels so good, holding tight
Loving you through the night
Oh and they can call it what they like
But they ain't got it right
No, no, no
Don't call it love
Heaven's above
We've got a better thing, baby
Don't call it love
'Cause that ain't enough
Just tell them you're my everything
Oooo...
Don't call it love
Heaven's above
We got a better thing, baby
Don't call it love
'Cause that ain't enough
Just tell 'em you're my everything
Oh, oh, oh
Don't call it love
Heaven's above
We got a better thing, baby
Don't call it love
'Cause that ain't enough

Dolly Parton | Down On Music Row | /d/dolly+parton/down+on+music+row_20041823.html | (Dolly Parton)
Down on Music Row
Down on music Row
If you want to be a star
That's where you've got to go
I could feel a change a comin'
I left my hometown a hummin'
With my ol' guitar a strummin'
Songs that I had wrote
I was on my way to Nashville
I just couldn't hardly wait
'Till I could sing my songs
To the folks on Music Row
I got into Nashville early
Sleepy, hungry, tired and dirty
And on the steps of RCA
I ate a stale, sweet roll
In the fountain at the hall of fame
I washed my face and read the names
In the walkway of the stars
Down on Music Row
Down on Music Row
Down on music Row
If you want to be a star
That's where you've got to go
I waited there 'till eight o'clock
When office doors became unlocked
Then I started walkin'
Down the streets of Music Row
Just a walkin' up and down the street
Tryin' to find out who to see
To help me get on record
And to hear the songs I'd wrote
But I found it goin' rough
Everyone was all tied up
Either in a conference
Or in the studio
They said that I could leave a tape
But they'd suggest I didn't wait
'Cause everyone was awful busy
Down on Music Row
But I could feel that change a comin'
And I just kept right on a hummin'
With my ol' guitar still strummin'
All them songs that I'd wrote
And then Chet and Bob at RCA
Well, they listened to my songs that day
And they both told me that I was on my way
Down on Music Row
Down on Music Row
Down on music Row
If you want to be a star
That's where you've got to go

Dolly Parton | Dr. Robert F. Thomas | /d/dolly+parton/dr+robert+f+thomas_10087122.html | (Dolly Parton)
Dr. Robert F. Thomas
May his name forever stand
Dr. Robert F. Thomas
Was a mighty, mighty man
And he enriched the lives
Of everyone that ever knew him
And in my song I hope to sing
Some of the praise that's due him
Dr. Thomas was a man
The Lord must have appointed
To live among us mountain folks
In eastern Tennessee
And he delivered more than half
The babies in those mountains
Among those babies
He delivered me
There was no way to drive along
The roads back in those mountains
But Dr. Thomas got there
Just the same
He often rode on horseback
To get where he was needed
But if he had to walk
He always came
Dr. Robert F. Thomas
May his name forever stand
Dr. Robert F. Thomas
Was a mighty, mighty man
And he enriched the lives
Of everyone that ever knew him
And in my song I hope to sing
Some of the praise that's due him
Dr. Thomas was a friend
A neighbor and a doctor
Though he seldom got a dime
For all he'd done
And I remember lots of times
We sent for Dr. Thomas
But I don't recall a time
He didn't come
They say a man is judged
By the deeds he does while livin'
A judgement when he stands
Before the Lord
And I know heaven holds a place
For men like Dr. Thomas
And I know that he'll receive
His just reward
Dr. Robert F. Thomas
May his name forever stand
Dr. Robert F. Thomas
Was a mighty, mighty man
And he enriched the lives
Of everyone that ever knew him
And in my song I hope to sing
Some of the praise that's due him

Dolly Parton | Dump The Dude | /d/dolly+parton/dump+the+dude_20041826.html | Hey girl, I wanna give you some friendly advice
He's got you cryin', oh he's done it again
He's made a date and he didn't show
You know he's done this to you so many times
When you gonna let him go
He doesn't treat you little a lover should
He could be so downright cruel
Can't understand why you're hangin' with him
Girl, don't you be a fool
Go on and dump the dude
You know he's got a rotten attitude
He always leaves you in a cryin' mood
Take my advice, don't you think twice
Listen to what I'm telling you
Go on and dump the dude
You know that we've been friends for so many years
And I've never ever seen you this way
So torn apart, how he gets to your heart
With all the little games that he plays
Just give him up, get him out of your life
Promise me that once and for all
You're gonna tell him that it's over and done
The very next time he calls, ain't you now
Dump the dude
You know he's got a rotten attitude
He always leaves you in a cryin' mood
Take my advice, find somebody nice
Listen to what I'm telling you
Go on and dump the dude
Girl, I know you may think this is none of my business
But the fact that we're friends I believe that makes it my business
I care about you but I ain't preachin'
I think you should dump the dude
I don't know why you'd want to settle for less
When you could have so much more
You know that you deserve only the best
So what are you waiting for?
Go on and dump the dude
You know he's got a rotten attitude
He always leaves you in a cryin' mood
Take my advice, don't you think twice
Find yourself somebody nice
Go on and dump the dude
