Dolly Parton | Eagle When She Flies | /d/dolly+parton/eagle+when+she+flies_20041695.html | (Dolly Parton)
She's been there, God knows, she's been there
She has seen and done it all
She's a woman, she know how to
Dish it out or take it all
Her heart's as soft as feathers
Still she weathers stormy skies
And she's a sparrow when she's broken
But she's an eagle when she flies
A kaleidoscope of colors
You can toss her around and round
You can keep her in you vision
But you'll never keep her down
She's a lover, she's a mother
She's a friend and she's a wife
And she's a sparrow when she's broken
But she's an eagle when she flies
Gentle as the sweet magnolia
Strong as steel, her faith and pride
She's an everlasting shoulder
She's the leaning post of life
She hurts deep and when she weeps
She's just as fragile as a child
And she's a sparrow when she's broken
But she's an eagle when she flies
She's a sparrow when she's broken
But she's an eagle when she flies
Oh, bless her, Lord
She's an eagle when she flies

Dolly Parton | Early Morning Breeze | /d/dolly+parton/early+morning+breeze_20041705.html | I open up my door to greet the early morning sun
Closing it behind me and away I do run
To the meadow where the meadow lark
Is singing in the tree
In the meadow I go walking
In the early morning breeze
I cup my hands to catch a multi-colored butterfly
Perched upon the petals of flowers growing wild
Freeing it I watch it as it flies away from me
To visit with the flowers in the early morning breeze
Rainbow colored flowers kissed with early morning sun
The aster and the dahlia and wild geraniums
Drops of morning dew still lingers on the iris leaves
In the meadow where I'm walking
In the early morning breeze
Misty-eyed I look about the meadow where I stray
For its there I find the courage to greet the coming day
For there among the flowers I kneel gently to my knees
To have a word with God in the early morning breeze
A rainbow colored meadow kissed with early morning sun
The aster and the dahlia and wild geraniums
Drops of morning dew still lingers on the iris leaves
In the meadow where I'm walking
In the early morning breeze

Dolly Parton | Elusive Butterfly | /d/dolly+parton/elusive+butterfly_20041827.html | You might wake up some morning
To the sound of something moving past your window in the wind
And if you're quick enough to rise
You'll catch the fleeting glimpse of someone's fading shadow
Out on the new horizon
You may see the floating motion of a distant pair of wings
And if the sleep has left your ears
You might hear footsteps running through an open meadow
Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing something I'm not sure of
Across my dreams, with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
You might have heard my footsteps
Echo softly in the distance through the canyons of your mind
I might have even called your name
As I ran searching after something to believe in
You might have seen me runnin'
Through the long abandonned ruins of the dreams you left behind
If you remember something there
That glided past you followed close by heavy breathing
Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing something I'm not sure of
Across my dreams, with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
Across my dreams, with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
Across my dreams, with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love

Dolly Parton | Falling Out Of Love With Me | /d/dolly+parton/falling+out+of+love+with+me_20195581.html |
Hardest thing I?ve ever done, or that I?ll ever do
Was to just walk off and leave you, but I knew I had to leave you
Cause I couldn?t stay and watch you falling out of love with me
The worst pain I?ve ever known, or that I?ll ever know
Was to see your love a dying, and I have to watch it dying
And I couldn?t stand to watch you falling out of love with me
It?s hurting now but still it?s better, I left while love was still alive
It was dying and I?d rather, I didn?t have to watch it die
The deepest hurt I?ve ever felt, or that I?ll ever feel
Was to know that I was losing, and I tried but I keep losing
And I couldn?t stay and watch you falling out of love with me
The loneliest I?ve ever been, or that I?ll ever be
Is now that I?m without you, and I feel so lost without you
But I couldn?t stay and watch you falling out of love with me
It?s hurting now but still it?s better, I left while love was still alive
It was dying and I?d rather, I didn?t have to watch it die
It was dying and I?d rather, I didn?t have to watch it die

Dolly Parton | Family | /d/dolly+parton/family_20041574.html | When it's family, you forgive them
For they know not what they do
When it's family, you accept them
'Cause you have no choice but to
When it's family, they're a mirror
Of the worst and best in you
And they always put you to the test
And you always try to do your best
And just pray for God to do the rest
When it's family
Some are preachers, some are gay
Some are addicts, drunks and strays
But not a one is turned away
When it's family
Some are lucky, others ain't
Some are fighters, others faint
Winners, losers, sinners, saints
It's all family
And when it's family, you trust them
And your heart's an open door
When it's family, you tolerate
What you'd kill others for
When it's family, you love and hate
And take then give some more
Somehow you justify mistakes
Try to find some better way
To solve the problems day to day
In the family
You take the trouble as it comes
And love 'em more than anyone
Good or bad or indifferent
It's still family
You choose your lovers
You pick your friends
Not the family that you're in
They'll be with you 'til the end
'Cause it's family
When it's family, you forgive them
For they know not what they do
When it's family, they're a mirror
Of the worst and best in you
When it's family, when it's family
Let me be all that I should be
To the family

Dolly Parton | Fuel To The Flame | /d/dolly+parton/fuel+to+the+flame_20041832.html | You kindle the fire of love inside me
Each time our lips meet
I'm not strong when we're alone
Your kisses make me weak
You must know how I feel
But do you feel the same
Everytime you kiss me
You add fuel to the flame
My eyes light up when I see you
I burn with desire
Each time you're near
You say you'll care
But still I'm not sure
But please don't ask me to love you
If you're not gonna change my name
Everytime you touch me
You add fuel to the flame
This fire you started inside me
Has reached my very soul
You're adding fuel to a flame
That's already burning out of control
When you give me your name
I give you everything
Everytime you kiss me
Adds fuel to the flame
Yes everytime you touch me
You add fuel to the flame

Dolly Parton | Gamble Either Way | /d/dolly+parton/gamble+either+way_20041833.html | Being born was the worse and the first mistake I ever made
The doctor didn't spank me, he just slapped me in the face
And the cup of love was always quenching someone else's thirst
Leaving me to swallow the bitter taste of hurt
'Cause I was raised an orphan
Never wanted as a kid until the year I turned 13
Then everybody did, strangers pass me back and forth
Men just took me as they pleased
And others had a Cinderella slave to cook and clean and weep
Though the deck is stacked against you
Win or lose, you have to play
The hand a life has dealt you
And It's a gamble either way
On a dust road at 15 in a yellow cotton dress
With the desert sun like an angry dragon breathing down my neck
And the dry cracked plains would make me think of a prehistoric time
Or should I fear what lay before me less than what I'd left behind
A 15 year old girl don't have no trouble hitching rides
But sometimes when you're riding free
You'll pay the highest price
On back roads and in back seats
And in a cheap highway motel
But what's a few more strangers in a life of nothing else
Though the deck is stacked against you
Win or lose, you have to play
The hand a life has dealt you
And It's a gamble either way
16 caught me crying, underneath the scarlet light
On the door steps of a stranger on a cold and rainy night
When I walked into the parlour here
Other pieces seemed to fit
I was good at pleasing strangers
So I made the most of it
Either way it's all a gamble
So view the stakes and know the odds
And lay your cards upon the table
Do all the dealing from the top
Though the deck is stacked against you
Win or lose, you have to play
The hand a life has dealt you
And It's a gamble either way

Dolly Parton | Gettin' Happy | /d/dolly+parton/gettin+happy_20695159.html | (Dolly Parton)
Without a love to call my own my life was incomplete
It seems I couldn't help but think that love was not for me
But my life took on a different twist when I met me a man that I couldn't
resist
I didn't know what all I'd missed, and I'm a gettin' happy
Oh, I'm a gettin' happy
Yeah, I'm a gettin' happy - all my lonely days are gone
I'm a gettin' happy - no more lonely nights alone
I got someone to call my own and now my life is like a song
And he helps me sing along - I'm a gettin' happy
Oh, I'm a gettin' happy
Oh, people used to talk of love and I couldn't understand
About the fire and the desire in lovin' a good man
Oh, but now I know just what they meant since I met me a man that was Heaven
sent
Wonder where the sadness went, cause I'm a gettin' happy
Oh, I'm a gettin' happy
I'm a gettin' happy - all my lonely days are gone
I'm a gettin' happy - no more lonely nights alone
I got someone to call my own and now my life is like a song
And he helps me sing along - an' I'm a gettin' happy
Oh, I'm a gettin' happy - whoo!
Yeah, I'm gettin' happy - all my lonely days are gone
I'm a gettin' happy - no more lonely nights alone
I got someone to call my own, now my life is like a song
Got someone to sing along and I'm a gettin' happy
Oh, I'm a gettin' happy
Hey, hey I'm a gettin' happy - all my lonely days are gone
I'm a gettin' happy - no more lonely nights alone
'Cause I'm a gettin' happy

Dolly Parton | Getting In My Way | /d/dolly+parton/getting+in+my+way_20041834.html | I wish I could forget you, but I won't
I wish I loved another, but I don't
It's just the same, day after day
Your memory keeps getting in my way
But I'm hoping I will be alright
But I don't even sleep at night
I close my eyes I see your face
Your memory keeps getting in my way
I don't know why I can't forget you
I don't see why I should let you
Keep messing up my mind with all those thoughts of yesterday
Your memory keeps getting in my way
It's easy for someone to lie
I'm saying I'll forget you and I'll try
Here's hoping that I will someday
Your memory keeps getting in my way
I don't know why I can't forget you
I don't see why I should let you
Keep messing up my mind with all those thoughts of yesterday
Your memory keeps getting in my way

Dolly Parton | Go Tell It On The Mountain | /d/dolly+parton/go+tell+it+on+the+mountain_20695008.html | Go tell it on the mountain over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born
While shepherds kept their watch o'er silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens there shown a holy light
Go tell it on the mountain
The shepherds feared and trembled when low above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus that hailed our Savior's birth
Go tell it on the mountain
Go tell it on the mountain
Go tell it on the mountain

Dolly Parton | Golden Streets Of Glory | /d/dolly+parton/golden+streets+of+glory_20041686.html | (Dolly Parton)
Glory to His name, oh, holy, holy
There's a city where the streets are paved in gold
A land where the milk and the honey flow
And a mansion which for me
'Cause my bible tells the story
I just hope my feet are clean enough
To walk upon the golden streets of glory
Green meadows where the little children play
No sorrow there, just one long happy day
And none will litter there except the pure and the holy
I just hope my feet are clean enough
To walk upon the golden streets of glory
And when I've reached my journey's end
And if I'm worthy to go in
Golden streets of glory, I walk on
And the golden streets of my new home
Will lead me up to the master's throne
With the angel band I'll sing
Glory to His name, oh, holy, holy
I just hope my feet are clean enough
To walk upon the golden streets of glory
Hallelujah, I just hope my feet are clean enough
To walk upon the golden streets of glory
And when I've reached my journey's end
And if I'm worthy to go in
Golden streets of glory, I'll walk on
And the golden streets of my new home
Will lead me up to the master's throne
With the angel band I'll sing
Glory to His name, oh, holy, holy
I just hope my feet are clean enough
To walk upon the golden streets of glory
Hallelujah, I just hope my feet are clean enough
To walk upon the golden streets of glory

Dolly Parton | Hard Candy Christmas | /d/dolly+parton/hard+candy+christmas_20041836.html | Hey, maybe I'll dye my hair
Maybe I'll move somewhere
Maybe I'll get a car
Maybe I'll drive so far
That I'll lose track
Me, I'll bounce right back
Maybe I'll sleep real late
Maybe I'll lose some weight
Maybe I'll clear my junk
Maybe I'll just get drunk on apple wine
Me, I'll be just
Fine and dandy
Lord it's like a hard candy Christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow bring me way down
I'll be fine and dandy
Lord it's like a hard candy Christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow get me way down
Hey, maybe I'll learn to sew
Maybe I'll just lie low
Maybe I'll hit the bars
Maybe I'll count the stars until dawn
Me, I will go on
Maybe I'll settle down
Maybe I'll just leave town
Maybe I'll have some fun
Maybe I'll meet someone
And make him mine
Me, I'll be just
Fine and dandy
Lord it's like a hard candy Christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow bring me way down

Dolly Parton | Harper Valley PTA | /d/dolly+parton/harper+valley+pta_20041837.html | I want to tell you all a story 'bout a harper valley widow wife
Who had a teenage daughter that attended harper valley junior high
Well her daughter came home one afternoon and didn't even stop to play
And she said, "mama, i've got a note here from the harper valley pta"
Well the note says "mrs. johnson, you're wearing your dresses way too high
It's been reported you've been drinkin' and a runnin' round with men and goin'
wild
Now we don't believe you ought to be a bringin' up your little girl this way"
And it was signed by the secretary, harper valley pta
Well it happened that the pta was gonna meet that very afternoon
And boy, were they surprised as mrs. johnson wore her miniskirt into the room
And as she walked up to the blackboard i can still recall the word she had to
say
She said "i'd like to address this meeting of the harper valley pta
Now there's bobby taylor sittin' there and seven times he's asked me for a
date
And mrs. taylor sure seems to use a lot of ice whenever he's away
And mr. baker can you tell us why your secretary had to leave this town
And shouldn't widow jones be told to keep her window shades all pulled
completely down
Now mr. harper couldn't be here 'cause he's stayed too long in kelly's bar
again
And if you smell shirley thompson's breath you'll find she's had a little nip
of gin
And then you have the nerve to tell me as a mother you think that i ain't fit
Well this is just a little payton place and you're all harper valley
hypocrites
Now i wouldn't put you on because it really did, it happened just this way
That day my mama socked it to the harper valley pta
That day my mama socked it to 'em at the harper valley pta

Dolly Parton | He Left Me Love | /d/dolly+parton/he+left+me+love_20694741.html | (Porter Wagoner)
He left me love enough to last a lifetime
A lifetime filled with loving memories
And so I have no reason to search for new love
Time could never take his love from me
And my mind is filled with memories, sweet and tender
My heart is filled with love he left for me
And each thought of him just makes love grow sweeter
He left me love to last eternally
I just close my eyes and I still see him
And in dreams, he loves me just like he used to do
He even wakes me with a tender kiss every mornin'
A kiss that lingers on my lips the whole day through
And my mind is filled with memories, sweet and tender
And my heart is filled with love he left for me
And each thought of him just makes love grow sweeter
He left me love to last eternally
Oh, yes, he left me love

Dolly Parton | He Would Know | /d/dolly+parton/he+would+know_20222442.html | (Dolly Parton)
In my mind I've made love to you often
But only in my mind can it be so
'Cause there's someone at home that's countin' on me
And if I did, I'm sure that he would know
Yes, he would know, yes, he could tell
For, he has loved me long enough to know me very well
And if I lied, he'd see it in my eyes
I know my guilt would show and he would know
But I must admit you're someone very special
And it would be so easy to let go
Makin' love to you could be so easy
But if I did, I'm sure that he would know
Yes, he would know, yes, he could tell
For, he has loved me long enough to know me very well
And if I lied, he'd see it in my eyes
I know my guilt would show and he would know
My conscience just won't let me make love to you
I know it would be sweet, but I just can't
When I go home to him I must be able
To look him in the eyes and say I ain't
'Cause he would know, yes, he could tell
For, he has loved me long enough to know me very well
And if I lied, he'd see it in my eyes
I know my guilt would show and he would know
He would know

Packin' my suitcase writin' a tear stained good-bye note
Sayin' so long to a love gone wrong and that's all she wrote
Leavin' behind what once was mine with sad regrets
But it's all gone now and I'm leavin' town on the Heartbreak Express
Walkin in the rain with a heart full of pain to the train depot
The only things that's gonna keep me warm now is my overcoat
Lost and lonely waitin in line at the ticket desk
Hey mister won't you give me a one-way ticket on the Heartbreak Express
I'm gonna roll on down the line
I'm gonna go so far I'm gonna get it off my mind
It hurts to know it ain't enough when you give your best
Got a ticket to ride and I'm leavin tonight on the Heartbreak Express
Oh I couldn't hold a candle to a flaming beauty that caught his eye
It's killin' me now but I won't stay around and let him watch me die
Oh it just goes to show you never do know 'cause I never would'a guessed
I'd be sittin' here now on a train sorrow bound called the Heartbreak Express
I'm gonna roll on down the line
I'm gonna go so far I'm gonna get it off mt mind
Maybe someday somewhere someway I will forget
But there's no goin' back so roll down the track you ole Heartbreak Express
Feelin' alone while a low whistle moans
On the Heartbreak Express

Dolly Parton | Heartbreaker | /d/dolly+parton/heartbreaker_20041633.html | Here I sit all alone, thinkin' 'bout what I should have known
You made me think that I could need you
You weaved your magic spell and I believed you
Lookin back on you and me, promises that will never be
I truly thought we were lovers
But now I find that I'm just like all the others
Heartbreaker, wish that I had seen that love was blind
Sweet little love maker, takin my heart and leave me behind
Heartbreaker couldn't you be
Just a little more kind to me
Played with fire, felt its burn
I would have thought that I would have learned
I melted every time you kissed me
Every time you'd leave I thought that you would miss me
Heartbreaker, wish that I had seen that love was blind
Sweet little love maker, takin' my heart and leave me behind
Heartbreaker couldn't you be
Just a little more kind to me

Dolly Parton | Heartsong | /d/dolly+parton/heartsong_20041840.html | Chorus:
A heartsong melody play like a symphony
The sweetest music I have ever known
A song of joy and pain
The mountain angels sing
A bittersweet refreign of my Smokey Mountain Home, heartsong
Farmer's daughter if you will
And I often wonder still
In memories where I rammbled as a child
Makes me cry and makes me laugh
My reflections on the past
And the family, friends, and faith that shaped my life
Ragged clothes and hand-me-downs
Just enough to go around
But the sweetest things in life are always free
Like the songs the birds would sing
And the sweet new grass of spring
And the sacred blossoms on the dogwood tree
Repeat Chorus
And I recall the thrill and joy
Of a Smokey Mountain boy
I remember my first kiss and my first love
And the songs I'd song and write
And the dreams I'd clutch so tight
And the loved ones that gave me that extra shove
And in that little house 'a prayer
Where I spent many hour
Prassin' God and liftin' up His name
And asking Him to lead and to keep watch over me
As I headed up that rocky road to fame
And now this, Smokey Mountain girl has been all around the world
But it makes no difference just how far I roam
I still cling to that part that is so dear to my heart
My faith in God and memories of home
Repeat Chorus

Dolly Parton | Heaven's Just A Prayer Away | /d/dolly+parton/heavens+just+a+prayer+away_10086965.html | If you're trying to reach Heaven
You talk to Jesus, you talk to Him every day.
'Cause Jesus knows, He knows that you are coming
And Heaven's just a prayer away.
If you go, if you go to church on Sunday
You get down on your knees and pray
And give your heart and your soul to Jesus.
Heaven's just a prayer away.
You are just one prayer from Heaven
As you travel down life's highway.
Just when you think that you can't make it,
Well, Heaven's just a prayer away.
Of, if you go, if you go to church on Sunday
You get down on your knees and pray
And give your heart and give your soul to Jesus.
Heaven's just a prayer away.
Heaven's just a prayer away.
Away

Dolly Parton | Home For Pete's Sake | /d/dolly+parton/home+for+petes+sake_20710983.html | I became a woman of the world cause I was fed up with the farm
And I thought pretty clothes and city lights
Running round both day and night could do no harm
A party girl I mixed for bout myself into a fix for running wild
So I wrote my dad and mom asked if I could come back home to have my child
I received the letter from the folks back home and they said things were fine
They went on to say that Pete the boy I broke up with was about to lose his
mind
But I couldn't hardly read the rest the words were being bloted by my tears
I'm feelin' so ashamed he loved me then he feels the same he still cares
So I'm going home for Pete's sake it was I who broke his heart in the first
place
If he'll try me one more time for then I've made up my mind
And in the morning I'm going home for Pete's sake
Yes for Pete's sake my baby's and mine

Dolly Parton | I Dreamed Of A Hillbilly Heaven | /d/dolly+parton/i+dreamed+of+a+hillbilly+heaven_20819827.html | I dreamed I was there in hillbilly heaven oh what a beautiful sight
And I met all the stars in hillbilly heaven oh what a star spangled night
Last night I dreamed I went to hillbilly heaven
And just as I arrived the old curtain lifted
And there on stage stood who else but Roy Acuff and Tex Ritter
They said well how you doing come on in here
I know there's some folks you want to see
Over there's our newest member your old friend Conway Twitty say Hello Darlin'
And there's gentlemen Jim Reeves singin' with heaven's choir
Roger Miller he just got here he's making everybody laugh
Course you know Roy Orbison can sing just as high as anybody here
And Ernest Tubb can sing as low
And Patsy Cline well bet she's the best singin' angel here
And Dottie West is probably the prettiest
There's the old pea-picker Ernie Ford
Jimmy Rodgers George Morgan Hank Williams
And the wandering boy Web Pierce
The old honky tonker himself Lefty Frizzell
My goodness what a group
Would you just listen to Mother Mabel
Over there pickin' the Wildwood Flower with the angel band
You know I personally think she's just about God's favorite
And Marty Robbins well he's still gettin' more encores than anybody else up
here
Just like he used to down on earth
Yeah well there's Elvis they still call him the King
But we know they're not talking about the real king up here
I dreamed I went to hillbilly heaven oh what a star studded night
Then I ask Roy and Tex I said well who do you think will be showin' up
Say within the next 40 50 60 years
They handed me a big tallybook and in it I saw names like Johnny Cash
George Jones Merle Haggard Don Gibson Mel Tillis Farren Young Kitty Wells
Some of the newer ones like Vince Gill and Garth Brooks
Course they talked about Minnie Pearl the Judds Tanya Tucker Reba McEntire
Hank Jr
Oh of course Buck Owens Roy Rodgers Gene Autry Randy Travis and Willie Nelson
There's old Chet
I said well where's Porter Wagoner's name oh there it is
And then there was Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette and Dolly Parton
Oooh that's when I woke up
I dreamed I was there in hillbilly heaven oh what a beautiful sight
And I met all the stars in hillbilly heaven oh what a star spangled night

Dolly Parton | I Just Might | /d/dolly+parton/i+just+might_20916624.html | What to do and where to start?
Things are falling all apart
Trying hard to move ahead
But keep losing ground instead
Still I have to take a chance
Putting fear and doubt aside
Had no warning in advance
Nothing left to do but try
[Chorus]
And I just might make it work
I just might make it after all
I just might rise above the hurt
Thought I've suffered quite a fall
But I have to get a grip
And hold on to it like a vice
Have to face the falling chips
I just might make it, I just might
Oh, I might have been a fool
But its true that love is blind
And you have broken every rule
You've taken all that yours and mine
And how does one go on with life?
When your shattered so inside
Pieces of a love gone wrong
Well, ya pick 'em up and you move along
[Chorus]
Rise above it, I just might be stronger then I know
Well, I might even be surprised
I've got to get on with my life
I just might make it
I just might
Nothin' left to do but try
I might make it
I just might

Dolly Parton | I Know You By Heart | /d/dolly+parton/i+know+you+by+heart_20041850.html | Everybody wants to find a love
Somebody, somebody who will always care
We get locked up in our own worlds
With feelings and secrets we're afraid to share
But all I have to do is see you smile
And maybe, just maybe if I brush your hand
Something happens, I cannot explain
And somehow, oh, somehow I can understand
I, I think you're gonna find
Gonna find you, gonna find you
I'm reading your mind
I know you by heart
And you're so much a part of me
I know you by heart, yes, I do
It's no wonder I can love you the way that I do
I can finish any sentence you start
I know you, I know you by heart
I know every time you're gonna call
I pick up the phone before it ever rings
And when you need some lovin'
I'll be there beside you, anticipating everything
Oh, it's like I always said
You're the one I want
All I want is you
I'm inside your head
I know you by heart
Girl, you're so much a part of me
I know you by heart, yes, I do
It's no wonder I can love you the way that I do
I can finish any sentence you start
I know you, I know you by heart
It's no wonder I can love you the way that I do
I can finish any sentence you start
I know you, I know you by heart
I know you by heart
And you're so much a part of me
I know you by heart, I know you, I know you, I know you
It's no wonder I can love you the way that I do
I can finish any sentence you start
I know you, I know you by

Dolly Parton | I Really Don't Want To Know | /d/dolly+parton/i+really+dont+want+to+know_20041851.html | How many arms have held you
And hated to let you go
How many, how many I wonder
But I really don't want to know
And how many lips have kissed you
And set your soul aglow
How many, how many I wonder
But I really don't want to know
So always make me wonder
And always make me guess
Even if I ask you
Darlin', don't confess
No you just let that remain your secret
'Cause darlin' I do love you so
How many, how many I wonder
But I really don't want to know
How many, how many I wonder
But I really don't want to know

Don Henley | A!! She Wants To Do Is Dance | /d/don+henley/a+she+wants+to+do+is+dance_20636725.html | They're picking up the prisoners
And putting them in a pen
And all she wants to do is dance, dance
Rebels been rebels since I don't know when
And all she wants to do is dance
Molotov cocktail, the local drink
And all she wants to do is dance, dance
They mix them up right in the kitchen sink
And all she wants to do is dance
Crazy people walking around with blood in their eyes
And all she wants to do is dance, dance
Wild-eyed pistol wavers who ain't afraid to die
And all she wants to do is
All she wants to do is dance
And make romance
She can't feel the heat comming off the street
She wants to party
She wants to get down
All she wants to do
All she wants to is dance
Well the goverment, bugged the men's room
In the local disco lounge
All she wants to do is dance, dance
To keep the boys from selling
All the weapons they can scrounge
All she wants to do is dance
But that don't keep the boys
From making a buck or two
And all she wants to do is dance, dance
They still can sell the army
All the drugs that they can do
And all she wants to do is
All she wants to do is dance
And make romance
Well, we barely made the airport
For the last plane out
As we taxied down the runway
I could hear the people shout, they said:
"Don't come back here, Yankee."
But if I ever do, I'll bring more money
Cause all she wants to do is dance
And make romance
Nevermind the heat
Coming off the street
She wants to party
She wants to get down
All she wants to do is
All she wants to do is dance
All she wants to do is dance
And make romance
Dance, Dance, Dance
All she wants to do is dance

Don Henley | Building The Perfect Beast | /d/don+henley/building+the+perfect+beast_20042047.html | The power of reason, the top of the heap
We're the ones who can kill the things we
Don't eat
Sharper than a serpent's tongue
Tighter than a bongo drum
Quicker than a one-night stand
Slicker than a mambo band
And now the day is come
Soon he will be released
Glory hallelujah!
We're building the perfect beast
(building, building, etc..)
It's olympus this time- olympus or bust
For we have met the enemy -and he is us
And now the day is come
Soon he will be released
Glory hallelujah!
We're building the perfect beast
(building, building)
Ever since we crawled out of the ocean
And stood upright on the land
There are some things that we just don't
Understand:
Relieve all pain and suffering
And lift us out of the dark
Turn us all into methuselah-
But where are we gonna park?
(building, building)
The secrets of eternity-
We've found the lock and turned the key
We're shakin' up those building blocks
Going deeper into that box- (pandora
Wouldn't like it)
And now the day is come
Soon he will be released
Glory hallelujah!
We're building the perfect beast
(building, building)
All the way to malibu from the land of the
Talking drum-
Just look how far-look how far we've come

Don Henley | I Will Not Go Quietly | /d/don+henley/i+will+not+go+quietly_20042035.html | Woke up with a heavy head
And I thought about leavin' town
I could have died if I wanted to
Slipped over the edge and drowned
But, oh no baby, I won't give up that easy, no
Too many tire tracks in the sands of time
Too many love affairs that stop on a dime
Oh well, oh baby
I think it's time to make some changes 'round here
Yeah, I'm gonna tear it up
Gonna trash it up
I'm gonna round it up
Gonna shake it up
Oh, no, baby, I will not lie down
I'm brave enough to be crazy
I'm strong enough to be weak
I see all these heroes with feet of clay
Whose mighty ships have sprung a leak
And I want you to tell me darlin'
Just what do you believe in now?
Well, c'mon over here baby
You 'bout to gimme a heart attack
I want to wrap my lovin' arms
Around the small of your back
Yeah, and I'm gonna pull you, pull you, pull you
Pull you right up close to me, yeah
Yeah we're gonna tear it up
We gonna trash it up
Gonna round it up
Gonna shake it up
Oh, no no no, I will not lie down
Turn this thing around
I will not go quietly
I will not lie down
I will not go quietly
I will not lie down
I will not go quietly
I will not lie down
I will not lie down, no
Well, don't you ever get lonely?
Don't you ever get down?
Don't you ever get tired of all the wicked tongues in this town?
Of, baby, I just want to take you away from here
I ain't no tiger
I ain't no little lamb
Suppose you tell me mama
Who do you think I think I am?
And ooh baby, don't you give a damn?
Yeah, I'm gonna tear it up
Gonna trash it up
Gonna round it up
Gonna rip it up
I will not lie down
Yeah I'm gonna tear it up
Gonna trash it up

Don Henley | Inside Job | /d/don+henley/inside+job_20042082.html | While you were sleeping
They came and took it all away
The lanes and the meadows
The places where you used to play
It was an inside job
By the well-connected
Your little protest
Summarily rejected
It was an inside job
Like it always is
Chalk it up to business as usual
While we are dreaming
This little island disappears
While you are looking the other way
They'll take your right to own your own ideas
And it's an inside job
Favors collected
Your trusted servants
Have left you unprotected
It was an inside job
Like it always is
Just chalk it up
To business as usual
You think that you're so smart
But you don't have a fucking clue
What those men up in the towers
Are doing to me and you
And they'll keep doin' it and doin' it
And doin' it and doin' it
And doin' it and doin' it
And doin' it and doin' it
Until we all wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
I know what I've done wrong
I am acquainted with the night
I know how hard it is
To always walk out in the light
And it's an inside job
To learn about forgiving
It's an inside job
To hang on to the joy of living
They know the road by which you came
They know your mother's maiden name
And what you had for breakfast
And what you've hidden in the mattress
Insect politics
Indifferent universe
Bang your head against the wall
But apathy is worse
It's an inside job
It's an inside job
It's an inside job
Yeh, yeah
It's an inside job
It's an inside job
It's an inside job
It's an inside job
It's an inside job
It's an inside job

Don Henley | Inside Out | /d/don+henley/inside+out_20830519.html | The biggest lie you ever told
Your deepest fear about growin' old
The loneliest night you ever spent
The angriest letter you never sent
The girl you swore you'd never leave
The one you kissed on new year's eve
The sweetest dream you had last night
Your darkest hour, your hardest fight
I wanna know you like I know myself
I'm waiting for you, there ain't no one else
I wanna know you inside out
I wanna dig down deep, I wanna lose some sleep
I wanna scream and shout, I wanna know you inside out
I wanna take my time, I wanna know you're mine
You know there ain't no doubt, I wanna know you inside out
The saddest song you ever heard
The most you said with just one word
The loneliest prayer you every prayed
The truest vow you ever made
What makes you laugh? What makes you cry?
What makes you mad? What gets you by?
Your highest high, your lowest low
These are the things I wanna know
I wanna dig down deep, I wanna lose some sleep
I wanna scream and shout, I wanna know you inside out
I wanna take my time, I wanna know you're mine
You know there ain't no doubt, I wanna know you inside out
I wanna know your soul, I wanna lose control
Come on and let it out, I wanna know you inside out
I wanna dig down deep, I wanna lose some sleep
I wanna scream and shout, I wanna know you inside out
I wanna take my time, I wanna know you're mine
You know there ain't no doubt, I wanna know you inside out
The biggest lie you ever told
Your deepest fear about growin' old
The loneliest night you ever spent
What makes you laugh? What makes you cry?
What makes you mad? What gets you by?

Don Henley | Little Tin God | /d/don+henley/little+tin+god_20042060.html | A new age is dawning
On fewer than expected
Business as Usual
That's how the headline read
Some shaky modern saviors
Have now been resurrected
In all this excitement
You may have been misled
People want a miracle
They say Oh Lord, can't you see us?
We're tryin' to make a livin' down here
And keep the children fed
But, from little dark motel rooms
To Six Flags over Jesus
How are the mighty fallen
So the Bible said
You don't have to pray to a little tin god
Step out of the way for a little tin god
You might fear the reaper, fear the rod
But you never have to get down on your knees
You don't have to holler, please, please
No, you never have to get down on your knees
For a little tin god
The cowboy's name was Jingo
And he heard that there was trouble
So in a blaze of glory
He rode out of the west
No one was ever certain
What it was that he was sayin'
But they loved it when he told them
They were better than the rest
But you don't have to pray to a little tin god
Step out of the way for a little tin god
You might hate the system, hate the job
But you never have to get down on your knees
You don't have to holler, please, please
No, you never have to get down on your knees
For a little tin god
Throw down a rope from heaven
And lead the flock to water
The man in the middle would have you think
That you have no other choice
But to wander in the wilderness
Of all the upturned faces
If you stop and listen long enough
You will hear your own small voice
But you don't have to pray to a little tin god
Step out of the way for a little tin god
You might fear the reaper, fear the rod
But you never have to get down on your knees
You don't have to holler, please, please
No, you never have to get down on your knees
Never have to holler, please, please
You never have to get down on your knees
You never have to holler, please, please
You never have to get down on your knees
For a little tin god

Don Henley | Nobody Else In The World But You | /d/don+henley/nobody+else+in+the+world+but+you_20042085.html | You live in a house of mirrors
Reflecting your splendid isolation
You have so much of everything
Except for true consideration
The way you dance
The way you walk
The way you drive
The way you talk
The way you eat
The way you drink
The way you act
The way that you don't think
It?s like there's?
Nobody else in the world but you
Nobody else in the world
Nobody else in the world but you
In case you haven't noticed
there's lots of other people here, too
Hey now, did your momma teach you anything?
Some things still got to be respected
Is it a sign of the times, or is it just your callous heart?
How did you get so disconnected?
The way you push
The way you shove
The way you hate
The way you love
The lies you spin
The scenes you make
The grief you give
The space you take
It?s like there's?
Nobody else in the world but you
Nobody else in the world
Nobody else in the world but you
In case you haven't noticed
there's lots of other people here, too
And now it?s time you did a little giving, baby
The world is not your plaything, no, no, no
(Solo)
Nobody else in the world but you
Nobody else in the world
Nobody else in the world but you
In case you haven't noticed
there's lots of other people here
Nobody else in the world but you
Nobody else in the world
It?s like there's?nobody else in the world but you
In case you haven't noticed there are lots of other people here, too

Don Henley | Taking You Home | /d/don+henley/taking+you+home_20042086.html | I had a good life
Before you came
I had my friends and my freedom
I had my name
Still there was sorrow and emptiness
'Til you made me glad
Oh, in this love, I found strength I never knew I had
[Chorus]
And this love
Is like nothing I have ever known
Take my hand, love
I'm taking you home
I'm taking you home
There were days, lonely days
When the world wouldn't throw me a crumb
But I kept on believing
That this day would come
[Chorus]
Where we can be with the ones who really care
Home, where we can grow together
Keep you in my heart forever
And this love
Is like nothing I have ever known
Oh no, no baby
Take my hand, love
I'm taking you home
Taking you home
And this love
Is like nothing I have ever known
Oh no, baby
Take my hand,
I'm taking you home
Yes I am
I'm taking you home
Taking you home, baby
Taking you home

Don Henley | Through Your Hands | /d/don+henley/through+your+hands_20042096.html | You were dreamin'
On a park bench
'Bout a broad highway somewhere
When the music from the carillon
Seemed to hurl your heart out there
Past the scientific darkness
Past the fireflies that float
To an angel bending down
To wrap you in his warmest coat
And you ask
What am I not doing
He says
Your voice cannot command
In time you will move mountains
And it will come through your hands
Still you argue for an option
Still you angle for your case
Like you wouldn't know a burning bush
If it blew up in your face
Yeah, we scheme about the future
And we dream about the past
When just a simple reaching out
Might build a bridge that lasts
And you ask
What am I not doing
He says
Your voice cannot command
In time you will move mountains
And it will come through your hands
Through your hands
So whatever your hands find to do
You must do with all your heart
There are thoughts enough
To blow men's minds
And tear great worlds apart
There's a healing touch to find you
On that broad highway somewhere
To lift you high
As music flyin'
Through the angel's hair
Don't ask what you are not doing
Because your voice cannot command
In time we will move mountains
And it will come through your hands

Don Henley | You Better Hang Up | /d/don+henley/you+better+hang+up_20042076.html | Out here in the country where the weather gets so mean
She thinks about the places that she ain't never seen
She knows that she's married but she can't remember why
And she wonders what it might feel like with some other guy
And though she's hotter than an oven
Just to fill your lovin' cup
If a man answers, you better hang up
You better hang up
You better hang up
You better hang up
You better hang up
You're from New York City where they don't say no prayers
Anything goes and nobody cares
And the country girl might thrill ya but you better pass her by
'Cause her ol' man love to kill ya for the look that's in your eye
And though you're hotter than an oven
Just to fill her lovin' cup
If a man answers, you better hang up
You better hang up
You better hang up
You better hang up
You better hang up
You better hang up
You better hang up
You better hang up
You better hang up

Don Henley | You Don't Know Me At All | /d/don+henley/you+dont+know+me+at+all_20042044.html | I woke up this morning
With an attitude
Looked at the headlines
Put me in a real bad mood
Sitting here remember
Tryin' to stay sane
Between the end of the summer
And the comin' of the blessed rains
And I feel dirty
All the way down
I feel dirty, baby
Like this dirty town
I gave you everything
On a silver tray
Could have been a fool forever
But I'm not made that way
And after all these years
I think it's time to say goodbye
I'm doing you a favor
I will not help you live a lie
And believe me,
If you think I'm gonna catch you when you fall
You don't know me
You don't know me at all
I closed up the curtains
Learned to confess
Baby I knew better
But you were such a pretty mess
You took my breath away
And now I want it back
Aah, you should have killed me
Cause you always looked so good in black
And after all these twisted roads
That we've been down together
I think it's time to say goodbye
And believe me,
If you think I'm gonna get down and crawl
You don't know me
You don't know me at all
Oooooo
After all these years
I think it's time to say goodbye
I'm doing us a favor, baby
You know I cannot live a lie
And when you need me,
And you think I'm gonna be there when you call
You don't know me
You don't know me at all
You don't know me at all, la de da
You don't know me at all
You don't know me at all

Don McLean | Building My Body | /d/don+mclean/building+my+body_20155380.html | I'm building my body
I'm happy when I'm building my body
I'm tired of fighting, let's make friends
I'm tired of burning both ends
That's why I'm building my body
It hurts me but I'm building my body
And I know what the pain is worth
I know I feel the pain of birth
I'm pushin' up
And gettin' down with my body
There's no-one else around with my body
One look says I'm a stone disgrace
Don't kick no sand in my face
Because I'm building my body strong
I'm watching what I eat
And I'm sorting out right from wrong
Hey, not a lot of meat
And I know that it won't be long
Before I gotta quit smoking
Because I'm building my body
I'm peaceful when I'm building my body
I'm sweating out mistakes I've made
I'm getting back the dues I've paid
I'm doing more
And getting sore with my body
But I'm gaining a rapport with my body
And this seems like the perfect time
They say I'm in my prime
That's why I'm building my body strong
I'm thinking at the table
And I'm sorting out right from wrong
I'm reading every label
And I know that it won't be long
Before I gotta quit smoking
'Cause I'm building my body
There's someone else inside of my body
He's waiting to be born again

Don McLean | Castles In The Air | /d/don+mclean/castles+in+the+air_20042101.html | And if she asks you why you can tell her that I told you
That I'm tired of Castles in the Air
I've got a dream I want the world to share in castle walls
Just leave me to despair
Hills of forest green where the mountains touch the sky
A dream come true, I'll live there 'til I die
I'm asking you, to say my last goodbye
The love we knew, ain't worth another try
Save me from all the trouble and the pain
I know I'm weak but I can't face that girl again
Tell her the reasons why I can't remain
Perhaps she'll understand if you tell it to her plain
Oh, but how can words express the feel of sunlight
In the morning in the hills away from city strife
I need a country woman for my wife
I'm city born but I love the country life
For I can not be part of her "Cocktail-Generation Partner's Waltz,"
Devoid of all romance
The music plays and everyone must dance
I'm bowing out, I need a second chance
Save me from all the trouble and the pain
I know I'm weak but I can't face that girl again
Tell her the reasons why I can't remain
Perhaps she'll understand if you tell it to her plain
And if she asks you why you can tell her that I told you
That I'm tired of Castles in the Air
I've got a dream I want the world to share in castle walls
Just leave me to despair

Don McLean | Chain Lightning | /d/don+mclean/chain+lightning_20166596.html | Sometimes when I'm thinkin' that love's not around
My heart begins sinkin', I don't hear a sound
And the world is in blackness, no light shines on me
I suffer no blindness, no one can I see
Then a flash from the heavens like a loud jagged wire
And the silence is broken, and the night is on fire.
[Chorus]
It's like chain lightning, this love that I feel.
Who know's where it strikes or when it will hit,
How long it will last, or when it will quit.
In the forest I'm burning, struck down by the blast
The fever is churning, and the heat rises fast.
And those standing nearest can show their concern
But I swear if they touch me that they too will burn.
They fear for their lives for death will soon dwell
In the warmth of your love is the fire of hell.
[Chorus]
And soon the sparks scatter and wind whips the flame
And love will soon shatter what it cannot tame
And the cycle continues, from life into dust
For I am now in you with the fire of lust.
And I hear the explosion, of thunder and rain,
The water is falling, the ashes remain.
[Chorus]
The Indian's tell us that the Phoenix can rise
From the smoldering ashes that once were my eyes
And watch beautiful colours from black and from grey
Be formed into wings and take me away
Where evil is darkness and goodness is light
And love is the lightning that cuts through the night
And strikes only once in a dark place in time
And forms a gold stairway that all of us climb.

Don McLean | Circus Song | /d/don+mclean/circus+song_20175087.html | Cotton candy, two for a quarter
See if the fat man can guess your weight
A big stuffed tiger is what I bought her
And I'm going home 'cause it's late
Roller coasters make me dizzy
And cotton candy makes me sick
I wish I had some Bromo fizzy
Now that would do the trick
Everyone knows that the clowns aren't happy
And everyone knows that the people don't care
I wish I could laugh at the way that they're acting
But I'm so sick, I just don't dare to
High wire dancers kick and balance
White silk horses step in time
The tattooed man displays his talents
I'm not the talented kind
I always go to the circus on Sunday
And there I can laugh at the people I see
But when I leave home in the morning on Monday
Everybody laughs at me
I make other people nervous
I guess that's why they laugh at me
But to me my life is a three-ring circus
And I can see it for free
Have you seen my wife Elvira?
She can tame a lion, you know
Well, I once had a bushy mane
But that was so damn long ago
Tight-collared clowns in plastic buildings
Have happy families as their fate
Happy jobs and happy clubs
And happy people they hate
Everyone's juggling and everyone's acting
With smiles of grease paint three feet wide
Everyone's caught on a carousel pony
And one time around is a lifetime ride
|
Don McLean | Crying | /d/don+mclean/crying_10087404.html | I was all right for a while, I could smile for a while
But when I saw you last night, you held my hand so tight
When you stopped to say "Hello"
And though you wished me well, you couldn't tell
That I'd been crying over you, crying over you
Then you said "so long" left me standing all alone
Alone and crying, crying, crying crying
It's hard to understand that the touch of your hand
Can start me crying
I thought that I was over you but it's tru-ue, so true
I love you even more than I did before but darling what can I do
For you don't love me and I'll always be
Crying over you, crying over you
Yes, now you're gone and from this moment on
I'll be crying, crying, crying, crying
Yeah crying, crying, over you

Don McLean | Crying In The Chapel | /d/don+mclean/crying+in+the+chapel_20823542.html | You saw me crying in the chapel.
The tears I shed were tears of joy
I know the meaning of contentment
Now I am happy with the Lord
Just a plain and simple chapel
Where humble people go to pray
I pray the Lord that I'll grow stronger
As I live from day to day
I've searched and I've searched
But I couldn't find
No way on earth
To gain peace of mind
Now I'm happy in the chapel
Where people are of one accord
We gather in the chapel
Just to sing and praise the Lord
Ev'ry sinner looks for something
That will put his heart at ease
There is only one true answer
He must get down on his knees
Meet your neighbor in the chapel
Join with him in tears of joy
You'll know the meaning of contentment
Then you'll be happy with the Lord
You'll search and you'll search
But you'll never find
No way on earth
To gain peace of mind
Take your troubles to the chapel
Get down on your knees and pray
Your burdens will be lighter
And you'll surely find the way

Don McLean | Did You Know | /d/don+mclean/did+you+know_20181069.html | Did you know that love can grow any place where people go,
And I can tell by what I see that you have found a place with me.
The sun is high the day is new and
I have found a place with you.
Every place and every face casts a spell and leaves a trace,
With you in mind and with you near, the myth is gone, the past is clear
And here with scars of now and then so you and I begin again.
Did you know I've been searchin'? Did you know I've been blind?
Did you know I've been touchin' anything I could find?
Did you know that here below, moving where my feelings flow,
You live with me in time that's new, suspended in a love that's true
And far beyond the fatal noise and bathed in all life's simple joys.
Did you know that love can grow any place where people go,
And I can tell by what I see that you have found a place with me.

Don McLean | Everyday | /d/don+mclean/everyday_10087412.html | Everyday, it's a gettin' closer,
Goin' faster than a roller coaster,
Love like yours will surely come my way, (hey, hey, hey)
Everyday, it's a gettin' faster,
Everyone says go ahead and ask her,
Love like yours will surely come my way, (hey, hey, hey)
Everyday seems a little longer,
Every way, love's a little stronger,
Come what may, do you ever long for
True love from me?
Everyday, it's a gettin' closer,
Goin' faster than a roller coaster,

Don McLean | Falling Through Time | /d/don+mclean/falling+through+time_20195371.html | I can't answer the questions you ask me,
I don't know what to say.
The answers are somewhere lost in the stars
when the night has turned to day.
But I know if the silence of night could be here,
It would drift through my soul and calm all my fear
And I could reach out and draw you so near to me
Touch me and warm me and I will lie still.
And all that you ask me to give you I will
One living moment we'll have for our own.
A brief flash of time that we spent all alone.
But you ask me for nothing and give what you can
And we're wrapped in a pillow of sleep once again
And my memory drifts through the universe when we are one
Closely we're falling through time
And the earth will turn in the silence of space,
always in motion yet always in place
And all things will change yet remain what they are.
And far will be near and near will be far
And the ages will darken and blend into time
And all that is poetry will no longer rhyme
But our moment together is forever sublime
For the time has arrived when we must understand
That we're lost in a void on this sad speck of sand
And nobody knows where we are, no one cares
And the tears that we shed in the dark no one cares
And the madmen who plunder this world for their fame
Have forgotten that no one remembers their name
But time and the universe are always the same
Closely we're falling through time

Don McLean | General Store | /d/don+mclean/general+store_20207181.html | Mornin', Mrs. Campbell
Lovely day today
I heard about the fire
I wonder what the papers say
Let's see now:
Give me fifty shotgun shells
And a hundred feet of rope
Just add that to my bill
Says here there ain't no hope
They all were burned alive
And four packs of cigarettes
No, I think I'll make it five
I heard about the wedding
I'm so happy for the bride
Why that fire house looked mighty nice
And the whole town swelled with pride
We've watched her grow to womanhood
She's found an upright man
She'll learn this life ain't easy
You do the best you can
No, no, my family ain't so good
My wife just had a spell
And I can't afford the medicine
She needs to make her well
I've been laid off at that factory
For sixteen months or more
I came home last Wednesday evenin'
I found her lyin' on the floor
Bye now, Mrs. Campbell
Say howdy to your son
You can tell him we'll go huntin'
When he gets a bigger gun
It was too bad about that fire
But don't you get me wrong
We've gotta teach these people
How to stay where they belong

Don McLean | Genesis (In The Beginning) | /d/don+mclean/genesis+in+the+beginning_20206465.html | In the beginning there was nothingness and God but waved his hand
And from the endless void there sprang the beauty of the land
And high above the canyon walls the diamond stars were new
And breezes blew from nothingness and herbs and grasses grew
And silent creatures roamed the Earth and multiplied their [Do7]kind
And man was but a molecule that God had left behind.
[Chorus:]
We have grown we have grown, we have captured the throne
Of the kingdom God made for our winning.
We have grown we have grown, but our children alone
Have so little time left for beginning.
And mountains sprang and chaos rang the overture of life
And rivers coursed the twisted blade of natures sharpest knife
And cut beneath the rolling dales a gateway to the sea
While tidal waves and mighty gales were heard in symphony
And sunshine fell upon the waves and warmed the virgin land
And from the mud a drop of blood was left upon the sand.
(Chorus)
And eagles flew from craggy peaks above the garden wall.
The drop of blood became a man, the tree of life grew tall.
And perfect in his loneliness, a rib pulled from his chest
Formed a sweet companion of pulchritude and breast.
And from the tree of knowledge God said they could not eat.
And perfect was their paradise unto the serpent at their feet.
(Chorus)
Tree of knowledge, tree of death, upon the ground they trod.
The serpent said your eye's will see and ye will be a god.
Defy the word and eat the fruit and ye will never die
And you will chart your destiny and rule the Earth and sky.
And man was banished east of Eden. See what we have lost.
For though the father sets the price, the children pay the cost.
(Chorus)

Don McLean | Infinity | /d/don+mclean/infinity_20273793.html | Standin' on a trap door, there's a hole in the ground.
Underneath the door there's a hole and it goes to infinity.
Standin' on a dark street, there's a light in the sky.
Followin' the light through the night as it goes to infinity.
How can I avoid infinity? How have I annoyed infinity?
I'm movin' slow in infinity. I even glow in infinity.
[Chorus:]
It's hard being' small, (hard bein' small)
Shrinkin' into space, (shrinkin' into space)
The world is just a ball, (world is just a ball)
It was my favorite place (it was my favorites place)
Lookin' for the blue skies, watchin' for the sunrise.
One thing you can bet, you won't see it set in infinity.
Gonna take a light beam, on the wings of the Jet Stream.
Gonna take my place in the infinite space of infinity.
How can I be friends with infinity? Can I make ammends with infinity?
How can I complain to infinity? What'll I explain to infinity?
(Chorus)
Give me just a time shield before the world has it's fate sealed.
Protect me for a while before they turn my dial to infinity.
I hope I can contribute, oh, but I don't want a tribute.
Hypocrites will come and say somethin' really dumb in infinity.
I can't hear you sing in infinity. I can't change a thing in infinity.
The absence of light in infinity gives me a fright in infinity.
(Chorus)

Don McLean | It's Just The Sun | /d/don+mclean/its+just+the+sun_20317482.html | It's just the sun that's shinin' in your eyes.
It's just the moon that is the sun's disguise.
Just the sky, with clouds a blowin' by.
The sun and the moon and the sky, and you and I.
It's just the rain that's rollin' down my cheek.
It's just the wind that makes me hear you speak.
It's just the song that anyone can sing.
The rain and the wind and the song and the love you bring.
It's just the world that gonna break your heart.
It's just the past that's tearin' us apart.
It's just the time we have so little of.
The world and the past and the time that we fell in love.
It's just the sun that's shinin' in your eyes
It's just the moon that is the sun's disguise
It's just the sky, with clouds a blowin' by
The sun and the moon and the sky, and you and I.

Don McLean | Jump | /d/don+mclean/jump_20224894.html | [Chorus]
Well you better jump, jump, jump,
If you want to' live at all.
Yes you better jump, jump, jump,
Even though you're bound to fall
Cause' they're gonna' make you sorry gonna' make you cry
If you don't jump, jump, jump, into the seat by and by.
Well, you jump for joy and happiness,
You jump when things go right.
You jump when you're asleep
And you hear a strange voice in the night.
Sometimes we get to use to things, they don't mean what they did.
I know that what make my floor, make another fellows lid.
(Chorus)
Well, I'm always on the lookout,
For somethin' fresh and new.
Like bein' on a cookout with a crazy Kangaroo.
Just when I think I've found a place where I'm sure I want to' stop.
My body won't quit cookin' and my mind begins to hop.
(Chorus)
Well, I'm thinkin' about a thousand things,
I'm a losin' lots of sleep.
I'm glidin' on my inner wings, I'm gettin' set to leap.
I'm ridin' on my pony, I'm lettin' out my rope.
I'm lookin' for an idea that a big bar of soap.
(Chorus)
(Instrumental Break)
(Chorus)
Well, one man was cold and hungry,
One man was rich and well.
One man stood at the window, as the crowd began to yell.
While the poor man prayed to Jesus and the rich man made a deal.
One man was standing naked yellin' do what you feel.
(Chorus)

With a motor and a rubber wheel
But when you move you cause a transformation

Don McLean | Mother Nature | /d/don+mclean/mother+nature_20264944.html | I want her so bad
Mother Nature has a hold on me
I want her so bad
Mother Nature won't you let me be untied?
'Cause it hurts my pride
To be tossed off like the morning covers
And crossed off, like her other lovers
Casually
I see her walking by my window- mhmmhmmhmmhmm!
It seems to me I know her well.
But like the flowers in the spring-time,
Growing toward the sunshine,
Her beauty falls upon me in a fragrant spring-time spell
And I want her so ba-aa-aad
Mother Nature has a HOLD on me
I want her so bad
Mother Nature won't you let me be untied?
'Cause it hurts my pride
To be tossed off like the morning covers
And crossed off, like her other lovers
Casually
Is she an icy winter woman? Mm-hhmm!
That chills my body when she's near
Sweet fever in the morning
I don't know if I'll survive.
She walks by me as though she didn't
Know I was alive
And I want her so ba-aa-aad
Mother Nature has a hold on me
I want her so bad
Mother Nature won't you let me be untied?
'Cause it hurts my pride
To be tossed off like the morning covers
And crossed off, like her other lovers
Tossed off like the morning covers,
Crossed off, like her other lovers
Tossed off like the morning covers,
Crossed off, like her other lovers

Don McLean | Pretty Paper | /d/don+mclean/pretty+paper_20824617.html | Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darlin from you
Pretty pencils to write I love you
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Crowded streets, busy feet, hustle by him
Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh
There he sits all alone on the sidewalk
Hoping that you won't pass him on by
Should you stop? Better not, much too busy
You better hurry, my how time does fly
And in the distance the ringing of laughter
And in the midst of the laughter he cries
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write I love you
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write I love you
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Oooh, pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

Don McLean | Siamese Twins | /d/don+mclean/siamese+twins_20266030.html | I find you in my arms, this is how it begins
and we are so close, like Siamese twins.
Though you're separate from me, and we're often apart
Still nobody can see, that we're joined at the heart.
Joined at the heart.
Joined at the heart.
Joined at the heart.
You don't look like me it's true and I don't look like you
as we lead separate lives our secret still survives
Only we know our special affection,
only we know our secret connection.
Now you're back in my arms, at the end of the day
and like Siamese twins, with each other we'll stay.
Though you're separate from me, and we're often apart
Still nobody can see, that we're joined at the heart.
Joined at the heart.
Joined at the heart.
Still nobody can see, that we're joined at the heart.

Don McLean | Superman's Ghost | /d/don+mclean/supermans+ghost_20296779.html | Chorus
I don't want to be like old George Reeves
Stuck in a Superman role.
I've got a long way to go in my career
And some day my fame will make it clear
That I had to be a Superman
Verse 1
He came from another place deep in his mind
As far as the planets in space.
As galaxy's mysteries start to unwind
Some changes are bound to take place.
Though gravity constantly weighs on my travels
My mission is close to adrift
Though I can be strong when my power unravels
I still come to you for a lift.
(Chorus)
Verse 2
I know I can fly when my plane hits the sky
I believe I've got nothing to lose.
But when I'm alone with the bed and the phone
I get the terminal metropolis blues
I flew to the coast where Superman's Ghost
Lay shot on the bedroom floor
He said "Watch out for TV it crucified me,
But it can't crucify me no more."
(Chorus)
Verse 3
"I'm red white and blue, I've got justice to do
I'm the man of your fantasy dreams
But I'm an alien man from an alien land
Who's alive on your orthicon screens.
I once ruled the world and when flags were unfurled
I performed for you live not on tape.
But the public is cruel when played for a fool
As you see by the blood on my cape."
(Chorus)
Verse 4
"Well I never was real or stronger than steel.
I'm a figment of Freudian need.
And the video screen is a psychotic scene
And it's all done with mirrors and green
My agent just called, the talks have been stalled
I soon will be pulled from the air.
But the image persists in the video mists
That a Superman still will be there!"
(Chorus)

But sleep won't come the whole night through
Your cheatin' heart will tell on you
When tears come down like falling rain
You'll toss around and call my name
You're gonna walk the floor the way I do
Your cheatin' heart will tell on you
When tears come down like falling rain
You'll toss around and call my name
You're gonna walk the floor the way I do
Your cheatin' heart will tell on you
Your cheatin' heart will tell on you

You have been faithful
Meeting my needs
Lord, it's so plain to see
You have been good to me
I have been given so much I can't even
Begin to thank You
Chorus:
And still I believe there is more
I believe there is more
I believe
So open my hands to receive
All that Your love has in store
Lord, I believe
Everything I have done
All that I've said and sung
Lifting Your story giving You glory
That's just the beginning
Father, I know there is more
Power to heal and restore
Miracles wonders blessings unnumbered
Love never-ending
[Chorus:]
Exceeding abundantly
More than our minds can imagine
Love overflowing
You are bestowing
Day after day after day
[Verse:]
(Chorus 2x)
Lord, I believe
Lord, I believe

Don Moen | I Will Sing | /d/don+moen/i+will+sing_20343951.html | Lord, You seem so far away
A million miles or more, it feels today
And though I haven't lost my faith
I must confess right now
That it's hard for me to pray
But I don't know what to say
And I don't know where to start
But as You give the grace
With all that's in my heart
I will sing, yes, I will praise, even in my darkest hour
Through the sorrow and the pain
I will sing, I will praise, lift my hands to honor You
Because Your word is true, I will sing
Lord it's hard for me to see all the thoughts
And plans You have for me, yes it is
But I will put my trust in You
Lord we made Your die to set me free
Oh thank God You did
But I don't know what to say
And I don't know where to start
But as you give the grace
With all that's in my heart
I will sing, I will praise, even in my darkest hour
Through the sorrow and the pain
I will sing, I will praise, lift my hands to honor You
Because Your word is true
I will sing, I will praise, even in my darkest hour
Through the sorrow and the pain
I will sing, I will praise, lift my hands to honor You
Because Your word is true, I will sing, I will sing, I will sing
Oh, we sing to You Lord
Oh, we sing to You Lord tonight
Halleluiah, we sing to You Lord
Oh, we lift our voices and sing to You
Worship You Lord, we sing to You Lord
We sing, we sing, We sing, we sing

Don Moen | If You Could See Me Now | /d/don+moen/if+you+could+see+me+now_21012640.html | Our prayers have been answered
I finally arrived
The healing that had been delayed
Is now realized
No one's in a hurry
There's no schedule to keep
We're all enjoying Jesus
Just sitting at His feet
If you could see me now
I'm walking streets of gold
If you could see me now
I'm standing tall and whole
If you could see me now
You'd know I've seen His face
If you could see me now
You'd know the pain's erased
You wouldn't want me
To ever leave this place
If only you could see me now
My light and temporary trials
Have worked out for my good
To know it brought Him glory
When I misunderstood
Though we've had our sorrows
They can never compare
To what Jesus has in store for us
No language can share

If I've been down before
Never thought I'd hurt so bad
To see you play the fool
Never mountain high enough
I said and I watched you climb
Till the day I saw you walk out of your life and mine
So I'm gonna leave you just because I want you
Back where you belong
Gonna make you see just what you've doing to me
Back where you belong
Be home right by my side is where you want to be
Back where you belong
Standing in the shadows
Watch your never-ending flight
Just how high as high to be before you see the light
Will this be the change you need to show you who you are
I love you but I'll leave you just to prove you've gone too far
Soon I'm gonna leave you just because I want you
Back where you belong
Gonna make you see just what you've doing to me
Back where you belong
Be home right by my side is where you want to be

Talking about the sad girls

Talking about bad girls, yeah
See them out on the street at night, walkin'
Picking up on all kinds of strangers

You can't score if you're pocket's tight
But you want a good time
You ask yourself who they are
Like everybody else, they come from near and far
Bad girls
Talking about the sad girls
Sad girls
Talking about bad girls, yeah

Sun's gone down, and they're out to trot
Spirit's high, and legs look hot
Do you want to get down?
Now, don't you ask yourself who they are?
Like everybody else, they want to be a star
Now, you and me, we're both the same
But you call yourself by different names
Now, your mama won't like it when she finds out
Girl is out at night
Hey, mister, have you got a dime?
Mister, do you want to spend some time? Oh, yeah
I got what you want, you got what I need
I'll be your baby, come and spend it on me

Donna Summer | Bad Reputation | /d/donna+summer/bad+reputation_20042187.html | When I was young, my momma always told me
I still hear her advice
She said don't ever bet against your feelings
Always think twice
Don't go and throw your love away
To some man just for the night
Promises, promises, don't waste your time
If his intentions don't feel right
Your reputation follows you wherever you go
Don't get a bad reputation
Your reputation can't be bought, it can't be sold
Don't get a bad reputation
Don't need a bad reputation
I'm so thankful momma I am waiting
To find someone who
Was looking in the same direction
That you pointed to
I'll never turn and walk away
If my heart gives me the sign
When the one, comes along
He'll understand
That the wait was worth the while
Your reputation follows you wherever you go
Don't get a bad reputation
Your reputation can't be bought, it can't be sold
Don't get a bad reputation
Don't need a bad reputation

Listen to me, listen to me, listen to me, listen to me
Listen to me, listen to me, listen to me, listen to me

Donna Summer | Be Myself Again | /d/donna+summer/be+myself+again_20744788.html | Let me introduce myself
I'm a woman that you've never seen
You might know me from somewhere else
As someone that I've never been.
I gave everything to play the game
My soul fell apart at the seams
I fell down like a house of cards
When somebody pulled the queen.
[Chorus]
'Cause you could spend your life
Lookin' for your own reflection
Time could blur the lines
Between what's real and what's projected
Had I known what I lost?
What I gained, what it'd cost
I'd still give what remains
To be myself again.
You must believe me when I say
Don't live someone else's design
Turn it around like a photograph
The writings been there all the time.
Now you can have all these hopes and dreams
The ones I can't use anymore
I don't know what it is you lost
But I hope you got what you came for.
[Chorus]
Sometimes I want to leave right now
Sometimes I want to cry out loud
I want to let it all hang out
But I don't want to let you down.
Sometimes I want to just lay here
Sometimes I want to disappear
I want to show you all my fear
But I don't want to let you down.
[Chorus]
To be myself again...

Her wish was his command, his life in her hands
And the death was slow 'cause she won't let go
Oh, black lady, that black lady
She tried to win, tried to buy
She was all over him 'cause he played all the cards just right

With a smile so deep, she put him into a sleep

On a doorstep
It's how they found me
Cold and hungry
Raised on hatred
Fed by strangers
As a young girl
I often wondered
[Chorus]
Am I born to die
Never having lived
Am I born to die
Without love
In my life
People push me
Knock me down
My foster parents
Kicked me around
They brought me up on
Loneliness
I never had me
A single friend
[Chorus]
Must be someone
In this world
Who can save me
From myself
Or am I born to die
Never having lived
Am I born to die
Without love
In my life

Not to breakaway

It's hard for her to do

Forget about the bad times
Remember all the good times
Hold your head up high
And breakaway
Forget about the bad times
Remember all the good times
Hold your head up high
Oh, oh, oh she'll breakaway
It's a secret she's been keeping
It's been eating at her heart
Wish I could find the words to tell you
But I don't know where to start
And when she looks into the future
She sees too many problems
There are so many reasons
She should pack up the past
And breakaway
Oh, oh, oh she'll breakaway
Forget about the bad times
Remember all the good times
Hold your head up high
And breakaway
Forget about the bad times
Remember all the good times
Hold your head up high
Oh, oh, oh she'll breakaway

"Do not be afraid Mary
You have found favor with god
You will be with child

And will be called the son of the most high
And the lord god will give him the throne of his father David
And he will reign over the house of David forever
His kingdom will never end"

Cold and weary with a babe inside
And I wonder what I've done

In a world as cold as stone
Must I walk this path alone
Be with me now

Donna Summer | Domino | /d/donna+summer/domino_20042280.html | Late last night at a fancy dress ball
I was dancing with all the queens and lords
When a tall and mystic man took me by the hand
And began dancing my eyes away
Domino, domino, domino
Who's the man behind the mask I'd like to know
Who's this masquerading lover
I wish I could discover
Domino, domino, domino
I was feeling so dizzy and lame
Was it champagne or really him to blame
Though our faces were disguised
Feelings couldn't hide
That this wasn't just some kind of game
Domino, domino, domino
Who's the man behind the mask I'd like to know
Who's this masquerading lover
I wish I could discover
Domino, domino, domino
Domino who are you
Domino I'd like to know
Domino who's the real domino
Though we're strangers still
It's real love I feel domino
Then at midnight the bells were all rung
And he kisses me and held me in his arms
Then a crowd would ride between us
Trapped away my stranger
And I never did find him again
Domino, domino, domino
Who's this man behind the mask I'd like to know
Who's this masquerading lover
I wish I could discover
Domino, domino, domino

After all that I've done
You won't believe me
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to nines
For sixes and sevens with you
I had to let it happen
I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window
Staying out of the sun
So I choose freedom
Running around, trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it too
Don't cry for me, Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise, don't keep your distance
And as for fortune
And as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it appeared to the world
They were all I desired
They are illusions
They're not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you, and hope you love me
Don't cry for me, Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise,
Don't keep your distance
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

Donna Summer | Drivin' Down Brazil | /d/donna+summer/drivin+down+brazil_20832590.html | Tudo bem... Tudo bem... Tudo bom bom...
Tudo bem... Tudo bem... Tudo bom bom...
Tudo bem... Tudo bem... Tudo bom bom...
Heat grows in his mind,
Hits the steering wheel to tryin'
Tune the radio out loud
He heard Jobim say,
And his heart began to sway
He didn't think of anything
But his baby
He was drivin'
Keep on drivin'
He kept drivin' down Brazil
He feels batucada
He dances the samba
If only in his head
[Chorus]
He was drivin' down Brazil
All pimped up and dressed to kill
A thousand single dollar bills
In his low ride Bonneville
He was drivin' down Brazil
He was drivin' down Brazil
And he gave the girls a thrill
In his low ride bonneville
He's the king king of the hill
He was drivin' down Brazil
Shhh shut up and get your baby
Please comma comma get your baby
Please comma comma get your baby,
She's waiting
He cruised up to the light,
She jumps in by his side
They kiss and wave goodbye oh
They had so much to say,
But the groove began to play
He couldn't think of anything but his baby
He was drivin'
He kept on on drivin'
He was drivin' down Brazil
He dreams of Amanda
While he sips guarana,
In his mind she's dressed in red
If anything
[Chorus:]
He was drivin' down Brazil
And he gave the girls a thrill
In his low ride bonneville
He's the king king of the hill
He was drivin' down Brazil
Comma comma comma get your baby
Comma comma comma get your baby
Comma comma comma get your baby
Comma comma comma get your baby
Comma comma comma get your baby
Comma comma comma get your baby
She's waiting
Tudo bem... Tudo bem... Tudo bom bom...
Tudo bem... Tudo bem... Tudo bom bom...
Tudo bem... Tudo bem... Tudo bom bom...
Tudo bem... Tudo bem... Tudo bom bom...
Tudo bem... Tudo bem... Tudo bom bom...
Tudo bem... Tudo bem... Tudo bom bom...
He feels batucada he dances the samba
If only in his head
Makes me crazy
He was drivin' down Brazil
All pimped up and dressed to kill
A thousand single dollar bills
In his low ride Bonneville
He was drivin' down Brazil
He was drivin' down Brazil
All pimped up and dressed to kill
A thousand single dollar bills
In his low ride Bonneville
He was drivin' down Brazil
Just have to comma get your baby
Just have to comma get your baby
Just have to coma get your baby
She's waiting

Donna Summer | Friends | /d/donna+summer/friends_20042281.html | In our childhoods days
Together we would play
People said we were inseparable
Like a brother then
My protective friend
He would always take good care of me
[Chorus]
Friends that's what we are just
Friends no more or less oh
Here we are sharing so much fun
Friends why can't he see that I want him
To be more than my friend
Years have come and gone
Still our friendship's strong
Now he's more than just the boy next door
I'm in love with him
Guess I've always been
He doesn't know he's all I'm living for
[Chorus]
I'd like to tell him that I need him bad
But I'm afraid if I do I might lose
The only friend that I have
[Chorus]

Trying to find a look to go with the plan
Everyone's different
Everyone's go their thing

It doesn't matter what skin you're in
Baby let the groove begin

Get ethnic...all day
Get ethnic...all night long

This is a new direction
We're gonna take it to the street
Spinman throw down a funky beat
Ooh sweet
Don't really care where you come from
You may move to a different drum
Jump right in and take you place
We're all part of the human race
(Ethnic chorus):
Like you mama do
And your daddy too
It's an attitude

Everybody's different
And we all have a song to sing
Spin man do your rhythm thing...swing...swing
Spin man do your rhythm thing...swing...swing
(Ethnic chorus):
See'mon see'mon baby

Donna Summer | Grand Illusion | /d/donna+summer/grand+illusion_20042351.html | Oh grand illusion, like to fade away
Take me and go out and play, oh yeah
It's no intrusion, it's like a rainy day
That can wash the clouds away of this pain inside

Find the melody that puts our hearts in tune
Harmony, we need harmony
Simple symphony that makes us feel brand new
Oh grand illusion, like to fade away

Donna Summer | He's A Rebel | /d/donna+summer/hes+a+rebel_20042340.html | Oh, he's a rebel and you may not like his looks or his style
But he's faster than light and he can walk a miracle mile
He'll point you out then he'll pull you in
I guarantee he'll be your best friend
He's a rebel and he's gonna be good anyhow
And the boys of the group oh they just wanna drag him way down
He's so straight ahead, he will blow your mind
He can be strong and yet so kind
What you see is what you get and what you get you won't regret
'Cause he's on the line
What you want is what he's got and what he's got, he's got a lot
'Cause it's alright, it's alright
Ooh he's a rebel, written up in the Lambs book of life
And there'll be no escape 'cause the stage has been set for a while
If he comes your way, he'll make you surrender
His story's clear and his voice so tender
What you see is what you get and what you get you won't regret
'Cause he's on the line
What you want is what he's got and what he's got, he's got a lot
'Cause it's alright, it's alright
If he comes your way, he'll make you surrender
His words are clear and his love's forever
He's a rebel 'cause he doesn't conform, that's for sure
But society rules and it's fallin' right down to the core
He'll love you like you've never been loved before
He always leaves you wanting him more
He's a rebel, you see that rebel, yeah, that's a rebel, that guy's a rebel
He's a rebel, you see that rebel, yeah, that's a rebel, that guy's a rebel
He's a rebel, you see that rebel, yeah, that's a rebel, that guy's a rebel

Show that drifter what he's never seen
Introduce him to this
Acquaint him with that
Gotta keep searching like a stray stray cat
Highway runner chasing time since the day he was born
Highway runner racing time around the world one more time
For one more time
It ain't even me can hold him down
Country just a breath from town to town
He got restless feet and a restless mind
Never want to travel through the same place twice
Highway runner chasing time since the day he was born
Highway runner racing time around the world one more time
For one more time
One more time
One more time
One more time
You're gonna meet your match...

Donna Summer | I Don't Wanna Work | /d/donna+summer/i+dont+wanna+work_10087984.html | Well I give it little care
Does anybody out there even know
I'm in here?
I just keep my movement going
Somewhere
Like playing in the background baby
Like playing in the background baby
I play the game
You play the way that most men would choose
I'm surprised at you
Way back in the middle of a broken down love affair
You and I found each other
And we fell in love
I ain't never met a man and woman get along better
Than you and I when get together
Still I say
I don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work that hard
Don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work that hard
Don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work that hard
Not if it makes me cry
No no
See the lady walking down the street
She's got on high heel shoes
And her hair full of curlers
She's got stiletto nails
And some black mascara
She's got a push up and a pick up
I tell you that girl's working overtime
I don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work that hard
Don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work that hard
Not if it makes me cry
No no no no no no
I don't wanna work
I don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work it if makes me cry
Spent last night
Talking to myself in bed
Wondering why I do this over
Over and over again
I don't know
I, I, I, I don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work that hard
Not when it makes me cry
I don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work not that hard
I don't wanna work it it makes me cry
I don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work not that hard
I don't wanna work if it makes me cry

Donna Summer | I Need Time | /d/donna+summer/i+need+time_20042268.html | Five to nine
Early Sunday morning around breakfast time
I heard a sudden tapping at the kitchen door
Oh and there was more
Well it was you I saw
No mistake
I knew you'd come around that sad look on your face
Then you begged me to come in and I said yes
Oh what a fool I am
I should have turned away
I need time
To turn the time around
To let it all hang out
To fight my fear and fight my doubt
I need time
To turn the time around
(get ahold) of love
Spoken words don't mean enough
No mistake
Remember not to break the promise that you make
I'll meet you fifty fifty in the middle now
And I won't back out
There'd better be no doubt
I need time
To turn the time around
Little did I know that love would bring you to my door
I need time
To turn the time around
Little did I know that love was on our side
I love you you know I
You know I always will love you now
I know I do love you
You know I'll always be true to you my love
Here you stand
Torn up yellow T-shirt and guitar in hand
I wanna love you now
Oh forget the past
I wanna make love last
I need time
To turn the time around
Let it all hang out
Love will bring you back again
I need time
To turn the time around
Little did I know that I love will bring you back again

Donna Summer | I Remember Yesterday | /d/donna+summer/i+remember+yesterday_10087779.html | I remember that first night we met,
Dancing to the sounds of clarinets,
Dancing cheek to cheek, oh how sweet,
You and me and this fantasy,
Oh I remember our first night.
I remember how we carried on,
On and on until the light of dawn.
From the very start, you stole my heart,
I knew right then we would never part,
Oh I remember that first night.
Remember that first night,
Remember that first night.
I saw your love light through the candle's glow,
Champagne was flowing, and so I let myself go,
And when the night was over, we both looked around the room,
Remember darling, chairs on the table, and only me and you
I remember how we carried on,
On and on until the light of dawn,
And from the very start, you stole my heart,
I knew right then we would never part.
I remember that first night
Remember that first night,
Remember that first night,
Remember that first night.
