Dusty Springfield | He's Got Something | /d/dusty+springfield/hes+got+something_20043901.html | He's got something
I don't know what but it's grand
I can feel it each time he touches my hand
When we walk
When we talk
Yeah
I feel so fine
He's got something
And it's mine, all mine
He's got something
I feel it each time we kiss
And he thrills me
Each time he holds me like this
When we part
Breaks my heart
I miss him so
He's got something
Only lovers know
He's got something
It's so fine
He's got something
Mine, all mine
He's got something
I miss him so
He's got something
Only lovers know
Yeah
He's got something
I don't know what but it's grand
I can feel it each time he touches my hand
When we walk
When we talk

And it's mine, all mine
When we part
Breaks my heart
Yeah
I miss him so
He's got something
Only lovers know
He's got something only lovers know, oh

Dusty Springfield | I Can't Give Back The Love I Feel For You | /d/dusty+springfield/i+cant+give+back+the+love+i+feel+for+you_20043791.html | Here's a tear
For a souvenir
And a dream
Torn at the seams
Here's a promise that you made to me of love
It's more than I'll ever see
And then you're free to go
But I can't give back the love I feel for you
Gonna be stuck with it no matter what I do
Take these eyes that once could see
Now reflections of my misery
And happiness I thought would last
Is now becoming just a thing of the past
But I can't give back the love
That's a part of me
If you want just a little bit
You'll have to take all of me
Simply adore
'Til the world don't go round no more
Here's the ring
That didn't mean a thing
And letters you wrote
That gave my young heart hope
Take the pillow where my dreams were made
And the mind where the thought of you stayed
But, baby, you should know
That I can't give back the love I feel for you
Gonna be stuck with it no matter what I do
Take these arms that held you close
And follow up the one you need the most
Take these hands no good to me
That used to touch you so tenderly
But I can't give back the love
That's a part of me
If you want just a little bit
You'll have to take all of me
No, I can't give back the love that I feel for you, yeah
Gonna be stuck with it no matter, no matter what I do
No, I can't give back the love that's a part of me, yeah
Gonna be stuck with it no matter, no matter what I, what I do
Gonna get stuck
Gonna get stuck

Dusty Springfield | I Can't Hear You No More | /d/dusty+springfield/i+cant+hear+you+no+more_20806879.html | Here you are again
Tellin' me you're sorry, baby
Tellin' me you wanna come on back home
Where you belong
There you go again
Lyin' and alibiin'
Singin' that same old worn out song
Here it comes now
I can't hear you no more
I've heard it all before
You ain't a reachin' me no how
No way, no time until dooms day
I can't hear you no more
I can't hear you no more
You walked out on me
Once too often baby
And I can't take no more of your jive
And that's the truth
I ain't about to let you
Run me into the ground
I'm not gonna throw away my youth
No not hardly
I can't hear you no more
I've heard it all before
You ain't a reachin' me no how
No way, no time until dooms day
I can't hear you no more
I can't hear you no more
You ain't a reachin' me no how
No way, no time until dooms day
I can't hear you no more
I can't hear you no more
You gotta speak out louder
You gotta speak out louder
'Cause I can't hear you no more
I can't hear you no more
Just a little bit louder

Dusty Springfield | I Only Want To Be With You | /d/dusty+springfield/i+only+want+to+be+with+you_20043778.html | I don't know what it is that makes me love you so.
I only know I never want to let you go
'Cause you started something, can't you see.
Ever since we met you've had a hold on me.
It happens to be true, I only want to be with you.
It doesn't matter where you go or what you do.
I want to spend each moment of the day with you.
Look what has happened with just one kiss.
I never knew that I could be in love like this.
It's crazy but it's true, I only want to be with you.
You stopped and smiled at me,
I asked if you cared to dance,
you fell into my open arms,
I didn't stand a chance.
Now, listen, honey, I just want to be beside you everywhere.
As long as we're together, honey, I don't care
'Cause you started something, can't you see.
Ever since we met you've had a hold on me.
No matter what you do, I only want to be with you.
You stopped and smiled at me,
I asked if you cared to dance?."
you feel into my open arms,
I didn't stand a chance.
Now, listen, honey, I just want to be beside you everywhere.
As long as we're together, honey, I don't care

Ever since we met you've had a hold on me.
No matter what you do, I only want to be with you.
No matter, no matter what you do, I only want to be with you.
No matter, no matter what you do, I only want to be with you.

Dusty Springfield | If It Hadn't Been For You | /d/dusty+springfield/if+it+hadnt+been+for+you_20043931.html | I would be through with love
Have nothing to do with love
If it hadn't been for you
If it hadn't been for you
Love hurt me from the start
I'd still have a broken heart
If it hadn't been for you
If it hadn't been for you
You put your sweet lips on mine
And i believed in love again
The world took on a new shine
And, oh how sad it was then
When love was so cruel to me
How empty my life would be
If it hadn't been for you
And the little things you do
My whole world would fall through
If it hadn't been for you
If it hadn't been for you, ooh, ooh
My whole world would fall through
If it hadn't been for you
If it hadn't been for you
If it hadn't been for you
If it hadn't been for you
If it hadn't been for you

Dusty Springfield | It Goes Like It Goes | /d/dusty+springfield/it+goes+like+it+goes_20043984.html | Ain't no miracle being born
People doin' it everyday
It ain't no miracle growing up, ah
People just grow that way
So it goes like it goes
Like the river flows
And time it rolls right on
And maybe what's good gets a little bit better
And maybe what's bad gets gone
Ah, bless the child of a working man
She knows too soon who she is
And bless the hands of a working man
Oh, he knows his soul is his
So it goes like it goes
Like the river flows
And time it rolls right on
And maybe what's good gets a little bit better
And maybe what's bad gets gone
So it goes like it goes
Like the river flows
And time keeps rolling right on, oh
And maybe what's good gets a little bit better
And maybe what's bad gets gone

Dusty Springfield | It Was Easier To Hurt Him | /d/dusty+springfield/it+was+easier+to+hurt+him_20043877.html | I should have told him that I needed him
When I had the chance
And now he's left me, and it's all over
Goodbye romance
I should have told him then
Over and over again that I love him
But it was easier to hurt him, ooh
It was easier to hurt him, ooh
It was easier to hurt him
That's what I thought was being so smart
The way I cheated him and mistreated him
How could I forget?
I was so sure that he would always trust in me
Oh, that I'd take a bet, no, no, no
He'd never say goodbye but here all alone am I
He is gone now
'Cause it was easier to hurt him, what could I do?
It was easier to hurt him, I should have known better
It was easier to hurt him
That's what I thought was being so smart, oh, oh
It was easier to hurt him, I need him so bad
It was easier to hurt him, what did I do?
It was easier to hurt him, I should have known better
It was easier to hurt him, I need him so bad

A little memory
To soften the fall, ooh-hoo

Let me down easy

Dusty Springfield | Let Me Love You Once Before You Go | /d/dusty+springfield/let+me+love+you+once+before+you+go_20043988.html | It's like looking in the window of a fine boutique
Knowing there is nothing that I could ever buy
Still I want your love so much that I could die
But I just can't lead a double life
Being one man's lover, one man's wife
But you can start a fire raging
Just by touching me
Even though I know we're not supposed to touch, no
Oh, I never wanted anyone so much
How I wish that I had found you first
Don't you see my heart's about to burst?
Let me love you once before you go
Your eyes keep saying yes to me
So don't keep saying no
Let me love you once and you will see
No-one's ever gonna love you more than me
Let me lock the door
Open up all my love to you
All the love I've longed to give you since we met
It's the only chance I'm ever gonna get
And I just can't let it disappear
Sweet baby, please come over here
Let me love you once before you go
Your eyes keep saying yes to me
So don't keep saying no
Let me love you once and you will see
No-one's ever gonna love you more than me
Ahh
(Let me love you once before you go)
Your eyes keep saying yes to me
So don't keep saying no, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
(Let me love you once and you will see)
No-one's ever gonna love you more than me
Ahh, ahh, ahh
(Let me love you once before you go)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
(Let me love you once, ahh, ahh)
(Ever gonna love)

Dusty Springfield | Lose Again | /d/dusty+springfield/lose+again_20043990.html | Save me
Free me from my heart this time
The train's gone down the track
And I, I've stayed behind
Nothing can free me
From this ball and chain
I made up my mind
I would leave today
But you're keeping me going
I know it's insane
'Cause I love you and lose again
When the heart calls
The mind obeys
Oh, it knows better than me
If I hold on
Just one more day
Then maybe, babe, you'd hear me true
'Cause nothing can free me
From this ball and chain
I made up my mind
I would leave today
But you're keeping me going
I know it's insane
Because I love you and lose again
Ooh, ooh
Nothing can free me
From this ball and chain
I made up my mind
I would leave today
But you're keeping me going
I know it's insane
'Cause I love you and lose again
Because I love you and lose again

Dusty Springfield | Losing You | /d/dusty+springfield/losing+you_10091348.html | How many tears do you cry
If love should break your heart in two
How many tears will I cry
Now that I know I'm losing you
I can't stop wanting you
And no matter what you do
You're still a part of me
Even though I'm losing you, oh
How many years will go by
Before my heart begins to mend
Waiting and wondering why
I never thought our love could end
I try forgetting you
But you're still here on my mind
It would take a miracle
But someday maybe I'll find
That I'm in the loving arms of someone
That I'll know, know he's the someone
Who'll kiss all the heartache away
And come that day
I won't mind losing you
Yes, I try forgetting you
But you're still here on my mind
It would take, yeah, a miracle
But someday maybe I'll find
That I'm in the loving arms of someone
That I'll know, know he's the someone
Who'll kiss all the heartache away
And when he comes to me that day
I won't mind losing you, oh, oh
I won't mind losing you, yeah
I won't mind losing you

Dusty Springfield | Losing You (Track | /d/dusty+springfield/losing+you+track+from+white+heat+album_20505219.html | (Elvis Costello)
Layin' about, lying in bed
Maybe it was somethin' I thought I said
With the tempo of the damned, the temptation of tomorrow
I don't know if I can give you anything but sorrow
They stay alive this late on Radio Five
But the pen that I write with won't tell the truth
But the moments that I care about are moments that I treasure
Better take another measure for pleasure
Losing you
Is just a memory
Memories don't mean that much to me
Losing you
Is just a memory
Memories don't mean that much to me
I count the pages of the letter I write
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine
Tearin' up the sheets of love this hand could not disguise
I'll start to count again and close my eyes
Losing you
Is just a memory
Memories don't mean that much to me
Losing you
Is just a memory
Memories don't mean that much to me
Now you're here
I'm here too
Can be this easy for me and you
Now you're here
I'm here too
Be this easy for me and you
Losing you
Is just a memory
Memories don't mean that much to me
Losing you
Is just a memory
Memories don't mean that much to me
Layin' about, lying in bed
Could be something that I thought I said

Dusty Springfield | Lost | /d/dusty+springfield/lost_20043798.html | I was a sad and lonely girl
All alone in this big world, baby, (hey, baby) baby
Lost in a state of misery
Not a soul to comfort me, baby (hey, baby)
I couldn't find no help
Didn't know what to do with myself
Oh, I was standing in confusion
So badly disillusioned
When you wrapped your arms around me
I knew love had found me
I was lost, so long
But found in the nick of time
You know I was lost, so long
But found in the nick of time
Oh, I was lost
I thank the lord that you
Are the one who came to my rescue, baby, (hey, baby)
Thanks for me and this heart of mine
You came just in time, baby, baby (hey, baby)
I couldn't find my way, ooh
Don't you hear what I say?, yeah
Well I was standing in confusion
So badly disillusioned
When you wrapped your arms around me
I knew love had found me
I was lost, so long
But found in the nick of time
You know I was lost (so lost), yeah
But found in the nick of time
Well, I was out here in desperation
No means of communication
Just looking for a sign
Then you threw out your lifeline
Lost, so long
But found in the nick of time
You know I was lost (so lost), yes I was
But found in the nick of time
Well, I was out here in desperation
No means of communication
Just looking for a sign
Then you threw out your lifeline
Oh, so lost, so long
But found in the nick of time
You know I was lost (so lost), yeah
But found in the nick of time
Well, I was out here in desperation

Dusty Springfield | Love Shine Down | /d/dusty+springfield/love+shine+down_20043861.html | Ooh, hoo, once love was a fire
That came and lit my way
I felt the fire die about a month ago
And now I look at my man
And I know he's goin' away
And now, I want that man
Mmm, I need that man
And I got to get back into his heart
I said love shine down on me
Love shine down on me
Love shine, light my way back into his heart
I, I stood beside him
When nobody else, nobody wanted to
Well I've been down, yes I have
But I've never, never been broken
'Til the day that he told me
The sweet lovin' life was through
I said, I want that man
Ooh, I need that man
And I got to get back into his heart
I said love shine down on me
Love shine down on me
Love shine, light my way back into his
Love shine
Oh, love shine
I said shine, shine, shine
Oh, down on me
I want it, yes, I need it
Oh, ho, oh, ho
I said love shine down on me
Love shine, light my way back into

Dusty Springfield | Make It With You | /d/dusty+springfield/make+it+with+you_20043862.html | Ah, ha, have you ever tried
Really reaching out for the other side?
I may be climbing up rainbows
But baby, here goes
Oh, dreams, they're for those who sleep
Life is for us to keep
And if you're wonderin' what this all is leadin' to
I want to make it with you
I really think that we could make it, ooh
No, you don't know me well
And every little thing only time will tell
But you believe the things that I do
And we'll see it through
Oh, life can be short or long
Love can be right or wrong
And if I choose the one I'd like to help me through
I'd like to make it with you
I really think that we could make it, yeah, yeah, ooh
Ah, ha, and if I choose the one I'd like to help me through
Oh, hoo, I'd like to make it with you, ah, ha

Oh, baby, yeah, I want to make it with you
Oh, hoo, let's make it, I want to make it with you
Ah, make it, let's make it
I want to make it with you

Dusty Springfield | Mama's Little Girl | /d/dusty+springfield/mamas+little+girl_20043993.html | Took the ribbon from my hair
And I'm letting it all hang down
So, if you're lookin' for the same old me
Gotta tell you that she's left town
Don't try to call my number, baby
You're gonna get no reply
'Cause suddenly I'm changin'
I'm finally rearrangin'
In this day of liberation
I'm lookin' to find my share
What's the use of being patient?
You ain't goin' nowhere
I got my own two-step together
And I want the first slow dance with you
I just saw Venus risin'
Guess I'm realisin'
I ain't mama's little girl no more
And baby, you're the first to know
I ain't mama's little girl no more
I took a little time to grow
It's gonna be worth waiting
The anticipating
I'm not mama's little baby no more
Well, I've been everyone's best friend
Someone they could tell their troubles to
How come they never noticed me
And the pain that I was going through?
I've seen the lonely side of living
I never want to go back there again
The sad old me is dyin'
Tonight there is no denyin'
I ain't mama's little girl no more
And baby, you're the first to know
I ain't mama's little girl no more
I took a little time to grow
It's gonna be worth waiting
The anticipating
I'm not mama's little baby no more
I ain't mama's little girl no more
And baby, you're the first, the first to know
I ain't mama's little girl no more
I took a little time, a time to grow
It's gonna be worth the waiting
The anticipating
I'm not mama's little baby no more, no more
I ain't mama's little girl no more
And baby, you're the first, the first to know
I said I ain't mama's little girl no, no more
I took a little time, a time to grow
It's gonna be worth the waiting
The anticipating
I'm not mama's little baby no more, no more

Dusty Springfield | Meditation | /d/dusty+springfield/meditation_20043994.html | In my loneliness
When you're gone and I'm all by myself
And I need your caress
I just think of you
And the thought of you holding me near
Makes my loneliness soon disappear
Though you're far away
I have only to close my eyes
And you are back to stay
I just close my eyes
And the sadness that missing you brings
Soon is gone and this heart of mine sings
Yes I love you so
And that for me is all I need to know
I will wait for you
Till the stars fall from out of the sky
But what else can I do?
I will wait for you
Meditating how sweet it'll be
When you come back to me
Just the memory of your little smile
Makes everything worthwhile
You're so right for me
There could never be anyone new
Could thrill me the way that you do
No, I won't forget
For though you're gone I feel your nearness yet
Oh, I will wait for you
'Til the stars fall from out of the sky
But what else can I do?
I will wait for you
Meditating how sweet love will be
When you come back to me

Dusty Springfield | Mixed Up Girl | /d/dusty+springfield/mixed+up+girl_20043834.html | Ah, ha, ah
Gonna let you go, my angel
Though I could make you stay
I could use my blind self-pity
Throw it in your way
But the times have turned between us
And you know I don't believe
That it makes one bit of difference
If you stay or if you leave
Why can't I be lonely
Like that lonely rushing river?
Pushing down a mountain
On it's way to meet the sea
Why can't I need somebody
Like that river needs that ocean?
Why did you have to get so mixed up, baby?
With a mixed up girl
With a mixed up girl like me, yeah
Gonna make it short now, angel
Though I could make it long
I could take through all the changes
And show you where you're wrong
But our dreams don't flow together
And you'll never, never see the light
So it really, really doesn't matter
Who is wrong or who is right?
Oh, why can't I be lonely
Like that lonely rushing river?
It's pushing down the mountain
On its way to meet the sea
Oh, why can't I need somebody
Like that river needs that ocean?
Why did you have to get so mixed up, baby
With a mixed up girl
With a mixed up girl like me?
Mmm, oh, mmm, oh

Dusty Springfield | No Easy Way Down | /d/dusty+springfield/no+easy+way+down_20043864.html | With the music of life, my soul is out of tune,
And I feel like I'm growing old much too soon,
My love for you, I just couldn't convey,
And the keys to my happiness, I let slip away.
Now I'm a man without a dream,
I've got a heart that has no hope,
All my senses are numb,
Losing you, I've become,
A man (I'm just a man) without a dream.
Instead of striving to reach my goals and my aims
I got distracted with meaningless games,
For just an illusion, I traded love that was real,
Now my eyes cannot see and my heart cannot feel.
Now I'm a man without a dream,
I've got a heart that has no hope,
All my senses are numb,
Losing you, I've become,
A man (I'm just a man) without a dream.
Sometimes I think I'm a prisoner of fate,
Doomed to find out things a little too late,
And so I must play this broken man's role,
Unless you come home, girl, and bring back my soul.
'Cause I'm a man without a dream,
I've got a heart that has no hope,
All my senses are numb,
Losing you, I've become,
A man (I'm just a man) without a dream,
Without a dream,
Without a dream.

Dusty Springfield | Occupy Your Mind | /d/dusty+springfield/occupy+your+mind_20043922.html | Satisfy your reason
It will occupy your mind
Even when you're dreaming
Believe
Find another meaning
To determine what you need
Experience this feeling
And believe
Believe
In a world so confused
In a world so confused
In a world so confused
In a world so confused
Believe
Love will pierce the dark cloud
Of unknowing and reveal
All that you were dreaming
And believe
These communications
Will descend on you en masse
So what I'm saying, baby
Is believe
Believe
In a world so confused
If you feel love refused
Believe
In a life so defined
You could find time
To change your mind
Believe
In a world so confused
If you find love refused
Believe
In a life so defined
You could find time
To change your mind
Believe
Occupy your mind and you'll believe
Occupy your mind and you'll believe
Occupy your mind and you'll believe
Believe
In a world so confused
In a world so confused
Believe
Occupy your mind and you'll believe

Dusty Springfield | Roll Away | /d/dusty+springfield/roll+away_20044067.html | Everyday when I look in the mirror
I try to see where my soul's at now
Happy day is it further or nearer?
On the way, will I find it somehow?
Yesterday's gone
Love lead me on, oh
I won't ask why
Roll away it's only time and the river
Roll away to the endless sea
Roll away it could all change tomorrow
This is life in it's glory
And the river runs free
Roll away
My dreams build the walls of the city
Broken hearts tear them all down
It ain't always easy and pretty
It's just the world turning around
Give us this day
Give us this night, oh
It'll be all right
Roll away it's only time and the river
Roll away to the endless sea
Roll away it could all change tomorrow
This is life in it's glory
And the river runs free
Oh, roll away
Everyday when I look in the mirror
I try to see where my soul's at now
Roll away it's only time and the river
Roll away to the endless sea
Roll away it could all change tomorrow
This is life in it's glory
And the river runs free
Roll away it's only time and the river
Roll away to the endless sea
Roll away it could all change tomorrow
This is life in it's glory
And the river runs free
Roll away, ahh, oh
Ahh, ha, ho

Dusty Springfield | Sandra | /d/dusty+springfield/sandra_20044006.html | She's a great little housewife
Though sometimes she talks like a fool
But she helps at the store in the holiday rush
And she picks up the kids after school
And she puts down the 'phone
When her husband comes home
And she changes from mother to wife
'Til she feels the words hanging between them
And she hangs by her words to her life
She says
I swear I love my husband
I love my kids
I wanted to be like my mother
But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did
Oh, there might have been time to be me for myself, for myself
So many things that she wishes
She don't even know what she's missing
And that's how she knows that she missed
She's a sweetheart except when she's moody
It's hard to get through to her then
Depressed for a while when the youngest was born
Ah, but that happens now and again
Ah, she might take a drink with the housework
Or when Michael's kept late at the shop
A martini or two before dinner
But she always knows when to stop
She says
I swear I love my husband
And I love my kids
And, though I wanted to be like my mother
But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did
Oh, there might have been time to be me for myself, for myself
So many things that she wishes
She don't even know what she's missing
And that's how she knows that she missed
Oh, they used to hold hands at the movies
Now it's seldom, if ever, they go
Once you pay for the sitter, and parking the car
There's no money left for the show
She was doing the dishes
When a glass fell and broke on the tile
And she cut her wrist, quite by mistake
It was real touch and go for a while
She says
Oh God, I love my husband
And I love my kids
Well, I wanted to be like my mother
But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did
Oh, there might have been time to be me for myself, for myself
So many things that she wishes
She don't even know what she's missing
And that's how she knows that she missed

Dusty Springfield | Save Me Save Me | /d/dusty+springfield/save+me+save+me_20044007.html | I can't stand the morning light
Now you've gone there ain't no-one
Oh, to make it right
The way you do
Every day I fall more in love with you
Knowing that you left
This heart of mine
You captured at the start
And I know you know
That I can't get through
Am I livin' a lie when
I reach for you?
You gotta save me, save me
Only you can keep me warm
Above the storm
You gotta save me, save me
You know there ain't a world enough
Without your love, ooh, hoo, hoo, love
Gonna lay my head
Try to rest my heart
Dream my dreams
But they're all of you
And they fall apart
The way I do
Every night I fall more
In love with you
I'm praying for the day
You turn around
And make your love all mine
And when I'm going down for
The very last time
You can throw me a line
You gotta save me, save me
Only you can keep me warm
Above the storm
You gotta save me, save me
You know there ain't a world enough
Without your love
When do I get to be near you?
For all time
Hear what you say again
And I know you know
That I can't get through
Am I livin' a lie when
I reach for you?
And when I'm goin' down for
The very last time
You can throw me a line
You can keep me alive
You gotta save me, save me
Only you can keep me warm
Above the storm
You gotta save me, save me
You know there ain't a world enough
Without your love, ooh, hoo, hoo
You gotta save me, save me
Only you can keep me warm
Above the storm
You gotta save me, save me
You know there ain't a world enough
Without your love

Say I won't be there
You can tell them
I'm not going anywhere

Call the boys and tell them
Say I won't be there
If you see my darling
Out there in the crowd
Say I still remember
Promises we vowed
Yesterday was dreaming
But my dream came tumbling down
Call the boys and tell them
Say I won't be there
Bring me back my darling
Be my friend for life
I don't want no new lover
I just want a true lover

I won't spoil their fun
Everyone there dancing
But I'm the lonely one

Dusty Springfield | Sea And Sky | /d/dusty+springfield/sea+sky_20044009.html | The sea goes on forever
The sky goes on forever
It's all a vast unmeasured shore
If you just think about it
The waves are always sighin'
The sea birds always cryin'
Where time means nothing anymore
If I could I would take up the sea
Join hands with the sky
I'd melt with the shore
They're part of all I adore
And all the love we will share
One moment more, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ahh, the sea goes on forever
The sky goes on forever
It's something no-one can deny
If they go on forever
And they go on forever
Then why not you and I?
Like sea and sky
Sea and sky
Sea and sky

Dusty Springfield | See All Her Faces | /d/dusty+springfield/see+all+her+faces_20043836.html | Here she comes
Here she comes
Ribbons flying from her half-forgotten hair
Look at her run
See what the world and love have done
See all her faces
See all her faces
Look in my eyes
That she is me
I can't disguise
See all her faces
Ah, ha, see all her faces
I'm looking for someone
Of the gentle kind
Knowing that looks can lie
Looking for someone
Is he there to find?
Or should I run on by, ah, ha
Here she comes
Here she comes
Shadows sadly chasing
Every step she takes
Look at her now
She needs love so much more somehow
See all her faces
See all her faces
Look at my life
The wasted years
Each a knife
See all her faces, ah-ha
See all her faces
Waiting for someone
Who will set me free
Passing the time too fast
Waiting for someone
Is that where he'll be?
Or should I run right past? , hmm
There she goes
There she goes
Somehow making me and all her faces sad, oh, oh
Ba, da, ba, da, ba, da, ba, da

Dusty Springfield | So Much Love | /d/dusty+springfield/so+much+love_20043865.html | In the midst of all my darkness, baby
You came along to guide me
You took pity on a lonely girl
When you said you'd stand beside me
I'll never forget you for what you've done
I'll never turn my back on you for anyone
I got so much love to give you
Baby, I got so much love to give you
Oh, there's more than enough
To last a whole life through, yes
And it's all for you
My world was cold and so empty
And my life so unfulfilling
When I needed someone to pick me up
You were oh-so willing
Now to you it might seem a little thing
But to me it seemed you'd changed my winter to spring
(I've got so much love)
Baby, I got so much love to give you
Oh, there's more than enough
To last my whole life through, yeah
It's all for you
There's so few men nowadays
Who understand the soul of a woman
Now they're always on the take, and they're
Never giving, never offering a helping hand
Oh baby, I can count on you
Whenever trouble calls
You see me through
You show your love in so many ways
I'm gonna love you for the rest of my days, yeah
I got so much love to give you
Baby, I got so much love to give you
Oh, there's more than enough
To last my whole life through, oh yeah
It's all for you

It's gonna last my whole life through

So many days

You know when I want you
Most every night
And I've been meaning to tell
You baby that it makes no sense
Still I'm finally convinced
Yeah yeah

I believe we could hug all night
The band is loose and the groove
Is right you're so much woman I
Believe we could chug all night
On the day that I die, well
I just might scream
If I'm alive in the morning
I'll be alive in a dream
You better listen to me baby
Cause you know that I'm hung on you
Till I'm blind and black and blue
No one else will do
I do believe we chug all night
I believe we could hug all night
The band is loose and the groove is right
You're so much woman I believe
We could chug all night
No woman ever do what you do
High on a pleasure wheel
No devil ever cast a voodoo
So long and dark and real
We're gonna do a little chugging
We're gonna do a little hugging
The band is loose and the groove is right
I'm wired for sound
Are you wired for light?
And you're so much woman,
I believe we could chug all night
I said a yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Woo! it's only midnight baby
Come on and do it to me

Eagles | Doolin-Dalton | /e/eagles/doolin+dalton_20044420.html | They were doolin', doolin'-dalton
High or low, it was the same
Easy money, and faithless women
Red eye whiskey for the pain.
Go down little dalton, it must be God's will
Two brothers lyin' dead in Coffeeville.
Two voices call to you from where they stood,
"Lay down your law books now, they're no damn good."
Better keep on movin', doolin'-dalton
Till your shadow sets you free.
And if you're fast, and if you're lucky,
You will never see that hangin' tree.
Well the towns lay out across the dusty plain
Like graveyards filled with tombstones waitin' for the names
And a man could use his back or use his brains
But some just went stir-crazy Lord cause nothin' ever changed
Till they're doolin' Neville Dalton
He was workin' cheap, just buyin' time
And then he laughed and said I'm goin'
And so he left that peaceful life behind

Eagles | Falling Down The Stairs | /e/eagles/falling+down+the+stairs_20550829.html | I don't know what you say
Every single holy day,
Never in my life I see
How can it be, what's it for me?
I know that you know that we know that you know
Every what's his name
I know that you know that we know that you know
What, how can it be?
Taking a tumble you know a tumble that you take a tumble
(Its not like this)
Cos I'm falling down the stairs, Help me cos I've got no grip, oh help me
please
(And I fall)
She left me, I can't see
I'm blind
Help me I'm so strong
And then I lose my mind
I want to be there but you cannot see me, with I know what's in your head
I know that you know that we know that you know
Every what's his name
I know that you know that we know that you know
What, how can it be?
Taking a tumble you know a tumble that you take a tumble
(Its not like this)
Cos I'm falling down the stairs, Help me cos I've got no grip

Eagles | I Wish You Peace | /e/eagles/i+wish+you+peace_20044528.html | I wish you peace when the cold winds blow
Warmed by the fire's glow
I wish you comfort in the, the lonely time
And arms to hold you when you ache inside
I wish you hope when things are going bad
Kind words when times are sad
I wish you shelter from the, the raging wind
Cooling waters at the fever's end
I wish you peace when times are hard
The light to guide you through the dark
And when storms are high and your, your dreams are low
I wish you the strength to let love grow on
I wish you the strength to let love flow
I wish you peace when times are hard
A light to guide you through the dark
And when storms are high and your, you dreams are low
I wish you the strength to let let grown on
I wish you the strength to let love flow on
I wish you the strength to let love glow on
I wish you the strength to let love go

Eagles | It's Your World Now | /e/eagles/its+your+world+now_20658285.html | A perfect day, the sun is sinkin' low
As evening falls, the gentle breezes blow
The time we shared went by so fast
Just like a dream, we knew it couldn't last
But I'd do it all again
If I could, somehow
But I must be leavin' soon
It's your world now
It's your world now
My race is run
I'm moving on
Like the setting sun
No sad goodbyes
No tears allowed
You'll be alright
It's your world now
Even when we are apart
You'll always be in my heart
When dark clouds appear in the sky
Remember true love never dies
But first a kiss, one glass of wine
Just one more dance while there's still time
My one last wish: someday, you'll see
How hard I tried and how much you meant to me
It's your world now
Use well the time
Be part of something good
Leave something good behind
The curtain falls
I take my bow
That's how it's meant to be
It's your world now
It's your world now
It's your world now

James Dean, you said it all so clean
And I know my life would look alright
If I could see it on the silver screen.
You were the low down rebel if there ever was
Even if you had no cause.
James dean, you said it all so clean
And I know my life would look alright
If I could see it on the silver screen.
We'll talk about a low-down bad refrigerator,
You were just too cool for school.
Sock hop, soda pop, basketball and auto shop,
The only thing that got you off was breakin' all the rules.
James Dean, James Dean, so hungry and so lean.
James Dean, you said it all so clean
And I know my life would look alright
If I could see it on the silver screen.
Little James Dean up on the screen
Wonderin' who he might be.
Along came a spyder, picked up a rider,
Took him down the road to eternity.
James Dean, James Dean, you bought it sight unseen.
James Dean, James Dean, you bought it sight unseen.
You were too fast to live, too young to die, bye bye.
You were too fast to live, too young to die, bye bye.
Bye bye too fast to live too young to die
Bye bye too fast to live too young to die
Bye bye too fast to live too young to die

Too fast to live too young to die
Oo-oo-oo-oo too fast to live too young to die
Bye bye too fast to live too young to die

Eagles | Life's Been Good | /e/eagles/lifes+been+good_20044498.html | I have a mansion
Forget the price
Ain't never been there
They tell me it's nice
I live in hotels
Tear out the walls
I have accountants
Pay for it all
They say I'm crazy but I have a good time
I'm just looking for clues at the scene of the crime
Life's been good to me so far
My Maserati
Does one eighty-five
I lost my license
Now I don't drive
I have a limo
Ride in the back
I lock the doors
In case I'm attacked
I'm making records
My fans they can't wait
They write me letters
Tell me I'm great
So I got me an office
Gold records on the wall
Ust leave a message
Maybe I'll call
Lucky I'm sane after all I've been through
(Everybody sing) I'm cool (He's cool)
I can't complain but sometimes I still do
Life's been good to me so far
I go to parties
Sometimes until four
It's hard to leave
When you can't find the door
It's tough to handle
This fortune and fame
Everybody's so different
I haven't changed
They say I'm lazy but it takes all my time
(Everybody sing) Oh yeah (Oh yeah)
I keep on going guess I'll never know why
Life's been good to me so far baby,
Inside the Sad Cafe.

Like you're rollin' so fast that you're spinnin' your wheels?
Don't feel too bad, you're not all along
We're all tryin' to get along
With ev'rybody else try'n' to go their way
You're bound to get tripped, and what can you say?
Just go along 'til they turn out the lights
There's nothin' we can do to fight it
No man's got it made till he's far beyond the pain
And we who must remain go on living just the same
I once knew a man, very talented guy
He's sing for the people and people would cry
They knew that his song came from deep down inside
You could hear it in his voice and see it in his eyes
And so he traveled along, touch your heart, then be gone
Like a flower, he bloomed till that old hickory wind
Called him home
My man's got it made
He's gone far beyond the pain
And we who must remain go on living just the same
We who must remain go on laughing just the same

The highway is my legacy
On the highway I will run
In one hand I've a Bible
In the other I've got a gun
Well, don' you know me
I'm the man who won
Woman don't try to love me
Don't try to understand
A life upon the road is the life of an outlaw man
First left my woman, it was down in Santa Fe
Headed for Oklahoma, I was ridin' night and day
All of my friends are strangers,
They quickly come and go
And all my love's in danger,
'Cause I steal hearts and souls
Woman, don't try to love me
Don't try to understand A life upon the road is the life of an outlaw man
oo....
Woman, don't try to love me
Don't try to understand
A life upon the road is the life of an outlaw man
Some me call me Abel,
Some men call me Cain,
Some men call me sinner, Lord
Some men call me saint
Some say there's a Jesus
Some men say there ain't
When you got no life to lose
Then there's nothin' left to gain

Upon your skin so brown
And I want to sleep with you in the desert night
With a million stars all around

On the ground
And I found out a long time ago
What a woman can do to your soul
Aw but she can't take you any way
You don't already know how to go
I get a peaceful easy feelin'
And I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm already standin'
On the ground
I get this feelin' I may know you
As a lover and a friend
This voice keeps whisperin' in my other ear
Tells me I may never see you again

And I know you won't let me down

Friends and relations send salutations
Sure as the stars shine above
But this is Christmas yes Christmas my dear
The time of year to be with the ones you love
So won't you tell me you'll never more roam
Christmas and new Years will find you home
There'll be no more sorrow no grief and pain
And I'll be happy, happy once again
Oh there'll be no more sorrow, no grief and pain

It's been a long time
Seems like we've come a long way

And heroes, they come and they go
And leave us behind as if

Why do we give up our hearts to the past?
And why must we grow up so fast?
And all you wishing well fools with your fortunes
Someone should send you a rose
With love from a friend,
It's nice to hear from you again
And the storybook comes to a close
Gone are the ribbons and bows
Things to remember, places to go
Pretty maids all in a row

Southward as you go.
There is moonlight and moss in the trees
Down the Seven Bridges Road.
Now I have loved you like a baby...
Like some lonesome child,
And I have loved you in a tame way,
And I have loved you wild.
Sometimes there's a part of me
Has to turn from here and go...
Running like a child from these warm stars
Down the Seven Bridges Road.
There are stars in the southern sky.
And if ever you decide you should go,
There is a taste of thyme sweetened honey
Down the Seven Bridges Road.

Take the devil from your mind
He's been holding on to you
And you're so hard to find
The wind outside is cold
Restless feeling in my soul
Tempting me to get away
But there's no place a man can go
God, will you lead me where I roam?
Help me not to let my feelings show
No, no you are the one, oh, how could you be
So blind?
The devil prays on runaways
He's never far behind
The many years I've tried
Now have been revealed to me
Closer is the love you'll find
Waiting so patiently
God, will you lead me where I roam?
Help me not to let my feelings show.
No, no
Take the devil
Take the devil
From your mind

Eagles | The Girl From Yesterday | /e/eagles/the+girl+from+yesterday_20044479.html | It wasn't really sad the way they said goodbye
Or maybe it just hurt so bad, she couldn't cry
He packed his things, walked out the door and drove away
And she became the girl from yesterday
He took a plane across the sea to some foreign land
She stayed at home and tried so hard to understand
How someone who had been so close could be so far away
And she became the girl from yesterday
She doesn't know what's right, she doesn't know what's wrong
She only knows the pain that comes from waiting so long
And she doesn't count the teardrops that she's cried while he's away
Because she knows deep in her heart that he'll be back someday
The light's on in the window, she's waiting by the phone
Talking to a memory that's never coming home
She dreams of his returning and the things that he might say
But she'll always be the girl from yesterday
Yeah, she'll always be the girl from yesterday

Eagles | Try And Love Again | /e/eagles/try+love+again_20044487.html | When you're out there on your own
Where your memories can find you
Like a circle goes around
You were lost until you found out
What it all comes down to
One by one
The lonely feelings come
Day by day, they slowly fade away
Ooh, the look was in her eyes
You never know what might be found there
She was dancing right in time
And the moves she made so fine
Like the music that surrounds her
Should I stay or go?
I really want to know
Would I loose or win
If I try and love again?
Oh oh oh gonna try and love again
Oh oh oh I'm gonna try and love again
Oh oh oh gonna try and love
Right or wrong, what's done is done
It's only moments that you borrow
But the thoughts will linger on
Of the lady and her song
When the sun comes up tomorrow
Well, it might take years
To see through all these tears
Don't let go
When you find it you will know
Oh oh oh, gonna try and love again
Oh oh oh, gonna try and love again
Oh oh oh, gonna try and love again
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Sometimes lose, sometimes win,
Sometimes you need a friend
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Gonna try

And everything will be fine if you try
Sittin' smokin' just a thinkin'
Is an easy thing to do
We gotta keep on trying for
The feelin' to come through
And it's a lonely way to live
You gotta take it, you gotta live
If you mistake it, just try again
And I'm trying, yeah!
Got to keep on trying
Ah, we got to keep on trying
Yeah I'm trying.... etc..

Ed Sheeran | Even My Dad Does Sometimes | /e/ed+sheeran/even+my+dad+does+sometimes_21085123.html | It's alright to cry even my dad does sometimes
So don't wipe your eyes
Tears remind you you're alive
It's alright to die cause death the only thing you haven't tried
But just for tonight hold on
So live life like you're giving all
Cause you act like you are
Go ahead and just live it up
Go on and tell me your path
It's alright to shake
Even my hand does sometimes
So inside the rage Against the dying of the light
It's alright to say that death's
The only thing you haven't tried
But just for today hold on
So live life like you're giving all
Cause you act like you are
Go ahead and just live it up
Go on and tell me your path
Go ahead and just live it up
Go on and tell me your path and hold on

Ed Sheeran | Friends | /e/ed+sheeran/friends_21084208.html | We're not, no we're not friends, nor have we ever been
We just try to keep those secrets in our lives
And if they find out, will it all go wrong?
I never know, no one wants it to
So I could take the back road
But your eyes'll lead me straight back home
And if you know me like I know you
You should love me, you should know
Friends just sleep in another bed
And friends don't treat me like you do
Well I know that there's a limit to everything
But my friends won't love me like you
No, my friends won't love me like you
We're not friends, we could be anything
If we tried to keep those secrets safe
No one will find out if it all went wrong
They'll never know what we've been through
So I could take the back road
But your eyes'll lead me straight back home
And if you know me like I know you
You should love me, you should know
Friends just sleep in another bed
And friends don't treat me like you do
Well I know that there's a limit to everything
But my friends won't love me like you
No, my friends won't love me like you
But then again, if we're not friends
Someone else might love you too
And then again, if we're not friends
There'd be nothing I could do, and that's why
Friends should sleep in other beds
And friends should kiss me like you do
And I know that there's a limit to everything
But my friends won't love me like you
No, my friends won't love me like you
Oh, my friends will never love me like you

Ed Sheeran | Homeless | /e/ed+sheeran/homeless_21106359.html | Could I wake up next to you when it's hitting double figures?
Look into your eyes like I'm looking into double mirrors
Could you make it any clearer? Everything's such a blur
It's not my turn, it's hers to get hurt
On a late night coming home from way too many train rides
Lace not as red as my face, I'm home at the same time
Highbury Estate's fine, smoking like a dragon but don't chase lines
Hey, I haven't slept for the past week
And two hours ain't enough for me
I feel inspired, at quarter to three A.M.
I haven't changed since our last meet
I'm still getting all my meals for free
I think I'm being shunned by my feet again
'Cause it's not a homeless life for me
It's just I'm home less than I'd like to be
And it's not a homeless life for me
It's just I'm home less than I'd like to be
And it's not a homeless life for me
It's just I'm home less than I'd like to be
And it's not a homeless life for me, yeah
And now I'm sitting on a night bus flicking through my iPod
Feeling kinda tired so I try to close my eyes up, driver turn the lights
Off
Lights on, on stage, mics on, song plays, nice one
Gotta keep my hype strong, truth be, never went to Uni
People see right through me but I'm not a fool, see
I'm never gonna do one, gonna live past 22,
Done everything I need to, except get a 2:1
I haven't slept for the past week
And two hours ain't enough for me
I feel inspired, at quarter to three A.M.
I haven't changed since our last meet
I'm still getting all my meals for free
I think I'm being shunned by my feet again
'Cause it's not a homeless life for me
It's just I'm home less than I'd like to be
And it's not a homeless life for me
It's just I'm home less than I'd like to be
And it's not a homeless life for me
It's just I'm home less than I'd like to be
And it's not a homeless life for me, yeah
When I feel cold, you keep me warm
And I'm not looking for some loose change
Just wanna find a true mate
Who wants to be my duvet, hey
It's not a homeless life for me
It's just I'm home less than I'd like to be
And it's not a homeless life for me
It's just I'm home less than I'd like to be
And it's not a homeless life for me
It's just I'm home less than I'd like to be
And it's not a homeless life for me
It's just I'm home less than I'd like to be
And it's not a homeless life for me

Ed Sheeran | Make It Rain | /e/ed+sheeran/make+it+rain_21091360.html | [Verse 1]
When the sins of my father
Weigh down in my soul
And the pain of my mother
Will not let me go
Well, I know there can come fire from the sky
To refine the purest of kings
And even though I know this fire brings me pain
Even so, and just the same
[Chorus x2]
Make it rain
Make it rain down, lord
Make it rain
Oh, make it rain
[Verse 2]
Well, a seed needs the water
Before it grows out of the ground
But it just keeps on getting hard
Hunger more profound
Well, I know they can't count tears from the eye
But they may as well be in vain
And even though I know these tears come with pain
Even so, and just the same
[Chorus x2]
[Verse 3]
The seas are full of water
Stops by the shore
It's like the riches of grandeur
Never reach the poor
And let the clouds fill with thunderous applause
And let lightning be the veins
And fill the sky with all that they can draw
When it's time to make a change
[Chorus x4]

Ed Sheeran | Nina | /e/ed+sheeran/nina_21085121.html | I met you when I was a teen but then you were one as well
And I could play the guitar just like ringing a bell
Sometimes I wonder
And any other summer could you have been my part time lover
To me listening to Stevie Wonder
Under the covers where we used to lay
And re-stacks is what the speakers play
I'll be on tour almost every day
When I was home up in my flat is where we used to stay
Just watching the dvd, smoking illegal weed
Getting high as two kites, and we needed to breathe
We used each other's air just for the people to see
And stay up all night like when we needed to sleep
We go anywhere, our minds would take us
And also you are beautiful without your make-up
And you don't even need to worry about your weight 'cause
We can all be loved the way God made us
And time's the only reason that we could break up
Cause you would always tell me away too much
Distance is relative to the time that it takes to get on a plane
Or make a mistake, say it again
Oh Nina, you should go Nina
'Cause I ain't never coming home
Nina oh, won't you leave me now
And I've been living on the road Nina
And then again you should know Nina
Cause that's you and me both
Nina oh, won't you leave me now
Now
And every weekend in the winter
You'd be wearing my hoodie
With draw strings pulled tight
To keep your face in the cold
Taking day trips to the local
Where we eat on the road
Cause every day when I was away
We'd only speak on the phone
Watching Blue Planet
Creating new habits
And if we were two rabbits
And then you vanish
Back to 'burgh with all the Celtics, i'd dissapear
You call me selfish, I understand
But I can't help it
I put my job before everything
Except my family and friends
But you'll be in between forever
So I guess we'll have to take a step back
Overlook the situation
Cause mixing business and feelings will only lead to complications
And I'm not saying we should be taking a break
Just re-evaluating quick before we make a mistake and it's too late
So we can either deal with the pain
Or wait to get on a plane
But in the day we'll have to say it again
Oh Nina, you should go Nina
'Cause I ain't never coming home
Nina oh, won't you leave me now
And I've been living on the road Nina
And then again you should know Nina
Cause that's you and me
Nina oh, won't you leave me now
Now
Love will come and love will go
But you can make it on your own
Sing that song, go, oh won't you leave me now
People grow, and fall apart
But you can mend your broken heart
Take it back, oh won't you leave me now
Oh Nina, you should go Nina
'Cause I ain't never coming home
Nina oh, won't you leave me now
And I've been living on the road Nina
And then again you should know Nina
Cause that's you and me both
Nina oh, won't you leave me now
Now
Oh Nina, you should go Nina
'Cause I ain't never coming home
Nina oh, won't you leave me now
And I've been living on the road Nina
Then again you should know Nina
Cause that's you and me both
Nina oh, won't you leave me now
Now

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
[Verse 1]
Waking up, midnight November
And just still in my bed
It's kinda rough, cause since I met ya
There's things we've never said
[Pre-Chorus]
So if I go for a little while longer
When I'm home we can talk about the big falls of the road
If you say go, I would stop everything oh
My heart would play the role now
And act like it's never been broke
[Chorus]
Though my soul, oh oh oh
Lately I really need to know
How long, how long, can we be touch and go
Oh my soul, oh oh oh
How long, how long, can we be touch and go
[Verse 2]
It's not enough, to say I want ya
Cause I'll say anything
I'm holding out, to feel without a doubt
I had have just been questioning it
[Pre-Chorus]
If I go for a little while longer
When I'm home we can talk about the big falls of the road
If you say go, I would stop everything oh
My heart would play the role now
And act like it's never been broke
[Chorus]
Though my soul, oh oh oh
Lately I really need to know
How long, how long, can we be touch and go
Oh my soul, oh oh oh
How long, how long, can we be
[Bridge]
All of my bones, they scream I'm right
If you're taking me home to stay the night
Darling my soul would heal
[Outro]
If you say go, I would stop everything oh
My heart would play the wrong
And act like it's never been broke, though my soul
Lately I really need to know
How long, how long, can we be touch and go
Oh my soul, how long
How long, how long, can we be touch and go
How long, how long, can we be touch and go
How long, how long, can we be touch and go

Traveling through this world alone
There's no sickness, toil or danger
In that bright land, to which I go
I'm going there to see my mother
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home now
(Hey-ey-ey yeah...)
And I know dark clouds, will gather me
And I know my way, is rough and steep
And the beautiful fields lie just beyond me
And I know my way, is rough and steep
I'm going there to see my mother
And I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home now
Cause I am a poor, wayfaring Stranger
Traveling through this world alone
There's no sickness, toil or danger
In that bright land, to which I go
I'm going there to see my mother

And I will lie with you
I start to feel those butterflies
When I'm next to you
Tell me your secrets
Give me a friend
Let all the good times flood in
Do I love you? Do I hate you?
I can't make up my mind
So let's free fall
And see where we land
It's been this way since we were young
We'll fight and then make up
I'll breathe your air into my lungs
When I feel your touch
Tell me your secrets
Give me a friend
Let all the good times flood in
Do I love you? Do I hate you?
I can't make up my mind
So let's free fall
And see where we land
Da da da da
Da da da da
Da da da da
Da da da da
Da da da da

Tell me your secrets
Give me a friend
Let all the good times flood in
Do I love you? Do I hate you?

And see where we land

Eddie Cochran | Big Door | /e/eddie+cochran/big+door_20455591.html | I did my baby wrong
Left her all alone
Maybe she'll forgive me
Now that I've come home
I stand here knockin' on her front door
Big door open wide
Won't you let me in
My love's on the other side
Oh yes, let me in
Big door you stand too high between us
Can't get under, can't get over
Big door swing open, I still love her
I never should have left her
Her love was always true
Maybe she'll forgive me
Oh, what will I do
'Cause she won't answer her frontdoor
Big door open wide
Won't you let me in
My love's on the other side
Oh yes, let me in
Big door you're keepin' us apart
Can't get under, can't get over
Big door swing open, I still love her
Oh, big door swing open, I still love her
Yes, big door swing open, I still love her

Come from a-mexico they say
Came all the way to texas

Well the first time that I seen the boll weevil
He was a-sittin' on the square
Well the next time that I seen him
He had his a-family there
Just a-lookin' for a home, just a-lookin' for a home
(Doo-doo-wop-wop)
Well the farmer took the boll weevil
And he put him on the red hot sand
Well the weevil said this is a-mighty hot
But I take it like a man
This will be my home, this will be my home
Well the f armer took the boll weevil
And he put him on a keg of ice
Well the weevil said to the farmer
This is mighty cool and nice
This will be my home, this will be my home
(Doo-doo-wop-wop)

With a pair of blue jeans on

But here in my heart is a memory
The way we met, the way we kissed
The way we fell in love
Oh, the little secrets that we shared
When I was sad, the way you cared
To let me know you'd understand
The way you'd hold my hand
Cherished memories, the things that a fellow can't forget
Cherished memories, you're leaving but I love you yet
And now you say that we must part
And even though it breaks my heart
There's one thing you can't take from me
That's my cherished memories

Ah well my baby's number one but I'm gonna dance with three or four
And the house'll be a-shakin' from my bare feet slappin' on the floor
Well, when you hear that music you can't sit still
If your brother won't rock then your sister will
Ooo C'mon everybody
Well we'll really have a party but we gotta put a guard outside
If my folks come a-home I'm afraid they're gonna have my hide
They'll be no more movies for a week or two
No more runnin' round with the usual crew
Who cares C'mon everybody
C'mon everybody
C'mon everybody

And he also had the looks
But shorty must have had something, boys

Well, a-cut across shorty, shorty cut across
That's what miss Lucy said
Cut across shorty, shorty cut across
It's you I want to wed
Now Dan had been in training
A week before the race
He made up his mind
Old shorty would end in second place
And Dan with his long legs a-flyin'
Left shorty far behind
And shorty heard him holler out
Miss Lucy, you'll soon be mine
But shorty wasn't worried
There was a smile upon his face
He knew that he was a-goin' to win
'Cause Lucy had fixed the race
And just like that old story
About the turtle and the hair
When Dan crossed over the finish line
He found shorty waiting there

Here am I, I walk alone, I have no love of my own
Now each shadow I pass is my looking glass
On this dark lonely street
I'm in love with the dream, of a girl I've never seen

On this dark lonely street
Is my love just pretend, will this dream never end
Maybe this cigarette, will help me to forget
This dark lonely street
Mmm... mmm... mmm, this dark lonely street

Lives a little country boy with rhythm in his soul
He learned the hully gully and he learned it fine
He had the cottonpickin' women just a-standin' in a line
Doin' the hully gully, that's what they say, everyday
In the water near the beach where the people love to go
Lived a man-eatin' shark name of Nagatoyo
He saw the people hully gully left to right
He swam back to the ocean 'cause he lost his appetite
They did the hully gully, that's what they say, everyday
Way out in the desert where the hazard wind blows
Lived a cross-eyed camel with prickles on his nose
He learned the hully gully, learned to shake it fine
He had a hot pack of camels just a los in' their mind
Doin' the hully gully, that's what they say, everyday
Everyday, yep-yep, everyday

Well she said a-honey-honey please don't go
Honey I love you so
How can our love grow
If you bye-bye-baby me

Eddie Cochran | Don't Wake Up The Kids | /e/eddie+cochran/dont+wake+up+the+kids_20773788.html | Ma and pa, now here you all go again
Givin' a party tryin' to impress your friends
We been tryin' to figure what you spent
This party must have cost a pretty cent
Howlin', rack 'em back, let 'em stack, runnin' around again
Rack 'em back, let 'em stack, runnin' around again
Sssh, don't wake up the kids please
Look at them doin' that ol' time jitterbug
Tearin' up a brandnew livingroom rug
And when they find that hole burned in the chair
You'd swear with all your might we put it there
Howlin'. Rack 'em back, let 'em stack, runnin' around again
Rack 'em back, let 'em stack, runnin' around again
Sssh, don't wake up them kids you all
Thinkin' there was a recession goin' on
What you gonna do when all your loot is gone
You call all four of us a bunch of cranks
When we don't let you rob our piggy banks
Howlin', rack 'em back, let 'em stack, runnin' around again
Rack 'em back, let 'em stack, runnin' around again
Don't wake up them kids you all please
Wah, all the kids are peekin' through the crack
The baby found a cushion in the back
From the way he looked we got a hunch
He must have got a hold of some of your punch
Howlin', rack 'em back, let 'em stack, runnin' around again
Rack 'em back, let 'em stack, runnin' around again
Sssh, don't wake up the kids, don't wake up the kids
Help your parents and all you grab a broom
While we do that dirty living room
And don't you make no noise while you sweep
You know your father's ill, he's tryin' to sleep
Howlin', rack 'em back, let 'em stack, runnin' around again
Rack 'em back, let 'em stack, runnin' around again
Hey you all, don't wake up them kids in there

I know just the very place to go

I'll bet my peanuts to a candy bar
You'll be cuter than a movie star
When it's over and we're headin' back
We'll stop in for just a little snack
Six hot dogs oughtta be just right
After such a wonderful night

Go get lost little baby doll, I don't wanna mess with you
I'm drownin' all my sorrows, I wanna be left alone
For the one I love has left me
She won't even answer the phone
You ask me why I'm cryin', you just don't understand
The one I thought was mine alone has found her another man
I'm drownin' all my sorrows, the lights are gettin' kinda dim
She left me for another, I bet she'll do the same thing to him
I'll never trust a woman, they never can be true
They take your money, break your heart
And leave you feelin' blue
I'm drownin' all my sorrows, I guess a guy like me can't win
I don't know where I'm goin', I don't even know where I been
Well my poor head is achin', I just can't seem to think
Pour me out a double please and pour this little gal a drink
I've drowned all my sorrows and now I'm gonna have a plain
I'm glad my baby left me, to me she never meant a thing

Eddie Cochran | Even Then | /e/eddie+cochran/even+then_20773791.html | You ask me when I knew

And then as time went on (went on)
I knew you'd come along (along, along)
For you couldn't stay away
When you knew I felt the way I do (I do, I do, I do)
For just how long has there been a moon
And the stars in the sky up above (doo-dee-yup)
So if I tell you when I knew (doo-dee-yup)
That would be how long I'd love
Oh, when the world began (began)
And everything was new (was new, was new)
Well, I was dreaming even then
And I knew I was in love with you (with you, with you)
For just how long has there been a moon
And the stars in the sky up above (doo-dee-yup)

Tell of the hearts that this vagabond has broken
Tell of the fun that I've had

Tell it pretty, guitar
Tell of the days when the riverboat was turnin'
Lord, what a gambler's spree
Tell her of the hotty way ol' lady luck was burnin'
Everyone but me, yeah lucky me, everyone but me
Now, guitar
Tell of the time when I took my biggest gamble
In a game where hearts were high
Tell of the funny way my heart began to ramble
When she caught my eye, yeah when she caught my eye
Tell it pretty, guitar
Tell all the folks that this life's a game of poker
A fool and gold must part
But in this hectic world the biggest fool's the joker
Who gambles with his heart, Lord-Lord, who gambles with his heart
One last time guitar
And that's the story of a gambler's guitar...

Goodbye bye bye bye forever
Goodbye bye bye bye my love
We're fooling ourselves just by thinking
Let's not pretend anymore

And when you're holding someone else don't you remember too
Guilty concience, guilty concience

Guilty concience, guilty concience

Never even blinks her eye, always in a smile
Tosses up her pretty curls and turns to go
Packs his guitar on more time
And sings his tale of woe

Think he done me dirty, they're feelin' kinda tight
New shoes (new shoes), new blues (new blues)
New shoes (new shoes), new blues (new blues)
New shoes (new shoes), they're on my feet (on my feet)
When we're dancin' baby, I can dig the groove
I can cut it baby, till the music starts to move
My toes are gettin' stepped on, out here in the crowd
Can't you hear 'em screamin', daddy-o let us out
New shoes (new shoes), new blues (new blues)
New shoes (new shoes), new blues (new blues)
New shoes (new shoes), they're on my feet (on my feet)
Hate to see our romance goin ' down the drain
I'll pull off my shoes, if you would do the same
If you really love me, like I think you do
Let your feet go crazy, I'll go crazy too
New shoes (new shoes), new blues (new blues)
New shoes (new shoes), new blues (new blues)
New shoes (new shoes), new blues (new blues)
New shoes (new shoes), new blues (new blues)
New shoes (new shoes), new blues (new blues)

Eddie Cochran | Once More | /e/eddie+cochran/once+more_20773827.html | If I could see you once more, if I could touch you once more
If I could tell you I need you once more (once more)
To hold you near me once more and feel your kisses once more
If I could share your love like I once did before
No simple explanation can tell you how I feel
I miss the old sensation that was once so warm and real
Please let me open the door to all we knew once before
Say you'll forgive me and love me once more
