Eric Clapton | Miss You | /e/eric+clapton/miss+you_20051269.html | Don't change your mind,
I ain't got the time to sit and wonder.
I'm doing fine.
If you decide to leave, I won't go under.
You know I've come this far without you
It won't be too hard to be alone.
I've got choices all around me,
So I won't be spending too much time at home.
[Chorus:]
Girl, I'm gonna miss you.
I'm gonna miss you, baby.
I can't forgive you,
Still I'm gonna miss you, baby.
No, don't say a word.
I already heard that you don't love me.
In your state of mind,
I don't need to hear your side of the story.
Your friends all said we had a future
And I don't think I really want to know.
My friends keep telling me to lose you
And how glad they'll be when you decide to go.
[Chorus]
I broke my back to make you happy.
Sometime, somehow, someone's got to care.
If you think you're better off without me,
Just remember, it's a dirty world out there.
[Chorus]
I'm gonna miss the ground you walk on,
Gonna miss the air you breathe.
I'm just not quite happy, baby,
'bout your crazy plans to leave.

Eric Clapton | Missing Person | /e/eric+clapton/missing+person_20689311.html | I've been asking some people, if they remember
A girl they forgot, with brown eyes, hair cut, red dress
Have you seen her? I think she's much leaner
I guess she is missing, it's true
She has gone out there somewhere
Disappeared into thin air, I'd just like to find her
I'd like to remind her the good times we had then
More than just good friends, I guess she is missing, it's true
I've been asking around and what I have found
She moved on farther this time
I've been checkin' it out, there ain't no doubt
That woman used to be mine
She is a missing person
She's hidin' away you see
She is a missing person
She's so much lighter than I'll be
She is a missing person
She's got a new rider, she's so much tighter
Missing person
She's hidin' away from me
She up and she left, now she's gone
She didn't even give me a clue
Didn't write me no notes, send me no letters
It's true
She is a missing person, where are you?
A missing person, where are you?
Missing person, hidin' away from me
Missing person, missing person
Missing person, missing person
Missing person

Eric Clapton | Mother's Lament | /e/eric+clapton/mothers+lament_20051536.html | Are we rolling? A one, a two, a three, a four
A mother was washing her baby one night
The youngest of ten and a delicate mite
The mother was poor and the baby was thin
'Twas naught but a skeleton covered with skin
The mother turned 'round for a soap off the rack
She was only a moment but when she turned back
Her baby had gone and in anguish she cried
"Oh, where has my baby gone?" The angels replied
Oh, your baby has gone down the plug hole
Oh, your baby has gone down the plug
The poor little thing was so skinny and thin
He should have been washed in a jug, in a jug
Your baby is perfectly happy
He won't need a bath anymore
He's a-muckin' about with the angels above
Not lost but gone before
Do you want to do it again?

Eric Clapton | Needs His Woman | /e/eric+clapton/needs+his+woman_20051428.html | You left him standing in the pouring rain.
There's every chance he'll go insane.
And someone comes along and takes his hand.
He must have love, can't you understand, that
[Chorus:]
He needs his woman,
He needs his woman,
And he needs his woman,
He needs his woman to love.
His hands are shaking and his head hangs down.
No peace of mind for him is found.
Break his heart and then you'll set him free.
Someone must save him, just you wait and see, but
[Chorus]
What will it take till you believe his love is real?
Nobody said he had to love you, now he always will.
He'll walk that lonely road again today.
The love he gave you, you threw away.
When all he wanted was a hand to hold.
His lonely world has grown so cold, and
[Chorus: x2]

Eric Clapton | Never Make You Cry | /e/eric+clapton/never+make+you+cry_20051151.html | It's so easy loving you
With everything I feel inside,
And holding me the way you do,
It's here I'm staying all of my life.
[Chorus:]
I'll never ever make you cry.
I'll never ever say goodbye.
Can't you see it in my eyes?
I'm yours until the day I die.
I'll watch you fall asleep at night,
I'll smile and kiss you, hold you tight,
I'll hold your hand and close my eyes,
It's here I'm staying all of my life.
[Chorus: x2]

Eric Clapton | Next Time You See Her | /e/eric+clapton/next+time+you+see+her_20051477.html | She's got everything a man could ever ask for.
She is lovely, brighter than a morning star.
She is so beautiful, portrait of a sunset.
She got everything, including my old car.
[Chorus]
Next time you see her, tell her that I love her.
Next time you see her, tell her that I care.
Next time you see her, tell her that I love her.
Next time I see you, boy you'd better beware.
I'm just trying to warn you that you're bound to get hurt.
I couldn't be her last love, so how could you be her first?
I want to tell you, buddy, things are bound to get rough.
I know that she's only flirting, but I think that I've had enough.
[Chorus]
And if you see her again, I will surely kill you.
And if you see her again, I will surely kill you.
[Chorus]
And if you see her again, I will surely kill you.
And if you see her again, I will surely kill you.
[Chorus]

Eric Clapton | No Alibis | /e/eric+clapton/no+alibis_20051381.html | I beg your pardon, hello darlin'
This is me you're talkin' to
Sit down and tell me about it
You don't have to shout it at me
Tell me what you really want to do
[Chorus:]
Don't give me no alibis
No untrue stories you're trying to justify
Don't want no alibis
Just another reason for another lie
Mountain gets steeper
The hole you dig gets deeper
You better stop and climb out
'Cause I'm trying to give it all to you
Baby I can see right through you
Sometimes you lose what it's all about
Don't give me no alibis
Can't go through life trying to justify
Don't want no alibis
Just another reason for another lie
[Chorus]
Mountain gets steeper
The hole you dig is getting deeper
Better reach out and pull yourself out
Nobody ever gonna love you the way that I love you
And I never want to see you doin' without
[Chorus: x2]

Eric Clapton | Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out | /e/eric+clapton/nobody+knows+you+when+youre+down+and+out_20689300.html | Once I lived the life of a millionaire,
Spent all my money, I just did not care.
Took all my friends out for a good time,
Bought bootleg whisky, champagne and wine.
Then I began to fall so low,
Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go.
I get my hands on a dollar again,
I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins.
'Cause no, no, nobody knows you
When you're down and out.
In your pocket, not one penny,
And as for friends, you don't have any.
When you finally get back up on your feet again,
Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend.
Said it's mighty strange, without a doubt,
Nobody knows you when you're down and out.
When you finally get back upon your feet again,
Everybody wants to be your good old long-lost friend.
Said it's mighty strange,
Nobody knows you,
Nobody knows you,
Nobody knows you when you're down and out.

Eric Clapton | Old Love | /e/eric+clapton/old+love_20051569.html | I can feel your body
When I'm lying in bed
There's too much confusion
Going around through my head
And it makes me so angry
To know that the flame still burns
Why can't I get over?
When will I ever learn?
[Chorus:]
Old love, leave me alone
Old love, go on home
I can see your face
But I know that it's not real
It's just an illusion
Caused by how I used to feel
And it makes me so angry
To know that the flame will always burn
I'll never get over
I know now that I'll never learn
[Chorus]

Eric Clapton | One Chance | /e/eric+clapton/one+chance_20051429.html | Without wishing to cause you any pain
I got to push on through babe
And if I take the chance of seeing you again
I just don't know what I would do baby
And sometimes I think I'm gonna be just fine
All I got to do is go through it babe.
Then I hear those voices in the back of my mind
Telling me over and over and over that I blew it babe.
You had one chance and you blew it
You may never get another chance
You had the floor and you knew it
You can't blame it on your circumstance
At the risk of causing you a little pain
I'm going to have to forget you, babe
'Cause you broke my heart, left it out in the rain
And you'd the same again if I let you, babe.
I would give anything to hold you in my arms
But you know I can't do that, baby.
I guess I'll have to live with the choice that I have made
Even though deep down I still suspect that I blew it.
|
Eric Clapton | One More Chance | /e/eric+clapton/one+more+chance_20051538.html | Give me one more chance to make it up to you.
Give me one more chance to show what I can do.
Let me prove to you that my love is strong.
Won't you come back home, that's where you belong.
Oh baby, won't you give me one more chance?
Won't you give me one more chance?
Well, the sun won't shine and it refuse to rain,
And I bang my heard, but I feel no pain.
Then I tell myself that I could start anew,
But I know darn well it all depends on you.
Chorus
So if you hear this song, you might change your mind
And give a thought to me, I won't be hard to find,
And I'll promise you to do the best I can,
Change my evil ways and be your ......

Erik Santos | All That I Need | /e/erik+santos/all+that+i+need_20664134.html | I'm sorry that I hurt you
I took for granted all you gave so freely to me
I prayed it's not too late
To save you from a broken heart
To promise you I'll make a brand new start
Believe me when I say
Chorus
You are all that I need
The only treasure I see
You're the air that helps me breathe
Through the darkest night
When I fall down on my knees
I was blind but now I see
You are all that I need
When no one far from perfect
Like a child that needs a guiding hand
Can you stay here with me
I finally understand
You've always been the missing part
Complete the jigsaw puzzle of my heart
Please hear me when I say
Repeat chorus
Please let me hear your voice again
Let me hear you say your love will never end
That whatever it takes you'll be there
When I say
Repeat chorus
You are all that I need

Hindi makatotohanan kahit ito'y ating inaasam

Nais ko ay ialay sa iyo
Ang puso ko na umiibig sa iyo

Meron ka na yatang kasintahan
Naninikip ang tiyan
Huwag na lang kaya
Huwag na lang kaya

Meron ka na yatang kasintahan
Naninikip ang tiyan
Huwag na lang kaya

And life was nothing but an awful song
But I now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms
If I can see it
Then I can do it
If I just believe it
There's nothing to it
[Chorus:]
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly

Erik Santos | I Dream Of Christmas | /e/erik+santos/i+dream+of+christmas_20664140.html | (Christine Bendebel)
I dream of Christmas
I dream of you
I dream of all the holidays
That we've been through
The cold December nights
The way you hold me tight
Under the mistletoe we'd kiss
And the world would be in the state of bliss
I dream of Christmas
I dream of you
I think of all the love we've shared all these years
We'd light the Christmas tree
While the carolers are singing
And bells would be ringing
Because of all the love that you've been giving
Christmas and you
Should always be togethers
I'll spend Christmas with you
In any kind of weather
You are the reason
For my wonderful season
When I dream of Christmas
I dream of you
I dream of Christmas
I dream of you
I dream of all the Christmas's that we'll go through
Santa's bringing holiday cheers
To all the little children
While you bring me joy
You're my gift, you're my joy

My love for you keeps going strong
I remember the things that we used to do
A kiss in the rain till the sun shines through
I tried to deny it, but I'm still in love with you

Ever since you went away, every hour of everyday
I miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy
No matter what I say or do

And it comes in such a sweet surprise
If seeing is believing, it's worth the wait
So hold on and tell me it's not too late
We're so good together
We're starting forever now.
And I miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy
Ever since you went away, every hour of everyday
I miss you like crazy, I miss you baby
A love like ours will never end
Just touch me and we're there again
Just one night
And we'll have the magic feeling like we used to do
Hold on tight
And whatever comes our way we're gonna make it through
If seeing is believing, it's worth the wait
So hold on and tell me it's not too late
We're so good together
We're starting forever now.
And I miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy
No matter what I say or do
There's just no getting over you
And I miss you, baby
I miss you baby
All the tender love you gave me
When a feeling gets this strong
I know the real thing will come along
And I miss you...
I miss you like crazy baby
Only your sweet love can make me
I miss you like crazy
A love like ours will never end
Just touch me and we're there again
I miss you like crazy
I miss you like crazy

Mayroong nangyaring hindi mo alam

At hanggang ngayon ay naaalala pa
Muntik na kitang minahal

Bawa't tanong mo'y iniwasan ko

Etta James | A Lover Is Forever | /e/etta+james/a+lover+is+forever_20823646.html | I think, I understand
The reason you won't stay with me
You think a ring upon your hand
Will solve your insecurity
So go ahead and play your games
If that's what you must do
Nothing here remains the same
But the way I feel for you
I can watch you walk away
And I know that I'll get by
And I know just what to say
But honey, I can't tell a lie
Figure out what you must do
Because you think you're so damn clever
You can marry anytime you want
But a lover is forever
I can watch you walk away
And I know that I'll get by
And I know just what to say
But honey, I can't tell a lie
Figure out what you must do
Because you think you're so damn clever
You can marry anytime you want
But a lover is forever
You can marry anytime you want
But a lover is forever

Etta James | Again | /e/etta+james/again_20808749.html | Again
This couldn't happen again
This is that once in a lifetime
This is the thrill divine
What's more
This never happened before
Though I have prayed for a lifetime
That such as you would suddenly, suddenly be mine
Mine to hold as I'm holding you now
And never, never, never so near
Mine to have when the now
And the here disappear
What matters, what matters, dear, for when
This doesn't happen again
We'll have this moment forever
But never, never again
Mine to hold as I'm holding you now
And never, never, never so near
Mine to have when the now
And the here disappear and oh
What matters, what matters, what matters, dear, for when
This doesn't happen again
We'll have this moment forever
But never, never again, again
Never, never again, again

Etta James | All I Could Do Is Cry | /e/etta+james/all+i+could+do+is+cry_20700675.html | I heard church bells ringing,
I heard a choir singing.
I saw my love walk down the aisle.
On her finger, he placed a ring, oh, oh.
I saw them holding hands
She was standing there with my man.
I heard them promise 'til death do us part.
Each word was a pain in my heart.
Oh. All I could do, all I could do was cry.
All I could do was cry.
I was losing the man that I loved,
and all I could do was cry.
And now the wedding is over,
rice has been thrown over their heads.
For them, life has just begun but mine is at an end
Oh. All I could do, all I could do was cry.
All I could do was cry.
I was losing the man that I loved,
And all I could do was cry.

Etta James | All The Way Down | /e/etta+james/all+the+way+down_21014829.html | Out on the street
The summer heat
Boys playing games
Changing their names
Pulling tricks
Getting their kicks
All the way down
Let it ride
Meeting the stars
In funky bars
Shiny new cars
And back door lies
Trying to hike
Or any other type of ride
All the way down
Let it ride
Trying everything now
Gotta check it out
Trying everything now
Gotta check it out
Hey girl!
You want a blow?
Why not?
I got no where to go
Benny the albino
Says don't be a whino
Try these here flakes
They got what it takes
To make you a star
And change who you are
All the way down
Let it ride
Tell me were you satisfied?
Did you mix it?
Did you like it?
Oh! tell me was it good to you
I wanna know did you make enough money?
Did you make enough money to go down in style?
Or did you find yourself just dying
Dying, dying, dying, after a while?
Got to get off!
Got to get off!
I got to, got to, got to, got to, got to get off!
Please help me, help me!
To git off now, now!
Before I freeze, and before I can come up off my knees
And lose my key to freedom
And I go, all the way down, all the way down

Etta James | Almost Persuaded | /e/etta+james/almost+persuaded_20806359.html | Last night, all alone at a party
I met a man with a drink in his hand
He had soft brown eyes and coal black hair
And a smile a girl could understand
Then he came and sat down at my table
And placed his warm hand on mine, now
And I found myself wanting, longing to kiss him, yes I did
For temptation was flowing like wine
And oh I was all, almost persuaded
To strip myself apart, apart, yes
Oh almost, nearly persuaded now
To push my, push my ole conscience right on the side
Then we danced, then we danced, he whispered, "Baby, I need you now"
He said to me, "Let me take you away, ooh I wanna be your man"
Than I looked in his eyes and I saw it, yeah I saw it
I saw the reflection of my, my wedding band
Oh I was almost, almost, almost persuaded, yes I was
To let a strange lips, somebody's lips lure me, lure me on, now
Oh I was almost, yeah nearly, nearly persuaded
But your, your sweet love made me stop, made me stop and go on

Etta James | At Last | /e/etta+james/at+last_20320035.html | At last my love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
Ohh yeah yeah
At last
The skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you
I found a dream, that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
Ohh yeah yeah
You smile, you smile
Oh and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine at last

I don't wanna believe
The bad things about you
Oh, no, now
Cause if they're true
I'll have to get along without you
Oh, ooh, now
I said the word, the sound
The song about the things you do
Moving and a grooving
Using and a fooling
Chasing around every skirt in town
If it's true, you'll be on your way
Do I make myself clear
Do I make myself clear
I said you're gonna have to
Stop and check yourself
Oh, yeah, now
I'm not gonna have a man
That's got somebody else, oh, no
Oh, you tell him now, girl, now, now
So if you're running around, baby
Thinking of putting me down
You're wrong
Taking away what belongs to me
Giving to her when I'm in need
If it's true, you'll be on your way
Do I make myself clear
Do I make myself clear
I said, do, do I
Do I make myself clear
Do you understand me
Do, do I, do I make myself clear
Oh, you better listen to her now
Oh, yeah, ohh, yeah, now
Oh, oh, oh...
So why won't you try to do
Something to change it
Yeah, yeah
And make me know it's not
The way they claim it, oh, yeah
Now let me tell you something
All I wanted you to be true, honey
Love me like you say you do, oh, yeah
And I won't care for what they say
Instead, I'll turn my head and walk away
But if it's true, you know what to do
Do I make myself clear

Do I make myself clear
And oh, oh, oh, yeah, now

Etta James | Do Nothin' Till You Hear From Me | /e/etta+james/do+nothin+till+you+hear+from+me_20823412.html | Do nothin' till you hear from me
Pay no attention to what's said
Why people tear the seam of anyone's dream is over my head
Do nothin' till you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you should take the word of others you've heard
Don't you know, I haven't a chance
True I've been seen with somebody new
But does that mean that I'm been untrue?
When we're apart the words in my heart reveal how I feel about you
Some kiss may cloud my memory
And others arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothin' till you hear from me
And baby you never will

Etta James | Do Right Woman Do Right Man | /e/etta+james/do+right+woman+do+right+man_21014812.html | Take me to heart
And I'll always love you
And nobody can make me do wrong
Take me for granted
Leaving love unshown
Makes will power weak
And temptation strong
[Chorus:]
A woman's only human
You should understand
She's not just a plaything
She's flesh and blood
Just like her man
If you want a do right all's day woman
You gotta be a do right all's night man
They say it's a man's world
But you can't prove that by me
And as long as we're together
Show some respect for me
If you want a do right all's day woman
You gotta be a do right all's night man
[Chorus:]
If you want a do right all's day woman
You gotta be a do right all's night man
If you want a do right all's day woman
You gotta be a do right all's night man

Tear a petal from the rose and the rose weeps too
Take your heart away from mine and mine will surely break
My life is yours to take, so please keep the spark awake
Would you take the wings from birds so that they can't fly?
Would you take the ocean's roar and leave just a sigh?
All this, your heart won't let you do
This is what I beg of you
Don't take your love from me
All this, your heart won't let you do
This is what I beg of you
Don't take your love from me
Don't take your love from me

Etta James | I Don't Stand A Ghost Of A Chance With You | /e/etta+james/i+dont+stand+a+ghost+of+a+chance+with+you_20800966.html | I need your love so badly
I love you oh so madly
But I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
I thought at last I'd found you
But other loves surround you
And I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
If you'd surrender for a tender kiss or two
You might discover that I'm the lover meant for you
And I'll be true
But what's the good of scheming
I know I must be dreaming
'Cause I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
So what's the good of scheming
I know I must be dreaming
'Cause I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you

Tell me to save my tears
Well I'm so mad about him

Not made of wood
I've got it so bad
And that ain't good
But when the fish are jumpin'
And Friday rolls around
My man an' I, we gin some
We pray some, and sin some

Etta James | It's Too Soon To Know | /e/etta+james/its+too+soon+to+know_20819677.html | Does he love me?
It's too soon to know
Can I believe him
When he tells me so?
And is he fooling?
Is this all a game?
Am I the fire or
Just another flame?
A one sided love
Would break my heart
He may be just acting
And playing a part
If he don't love me
Let him tell me so
And I, I can't hold him
If he wants to go
And though, though
I'll cry when he's gone
And I won't die and I'll live on
If it's so, it's too soon
Way too soon to know
Does he love me?
Can I believe him?
And though, I'll cry
Though, I'll cry when he's gone
And I won't die and I'll live on
If it's so, it's too soon
Way too soon to know

Etta James | On The 7th Day | /e/etta+james/on+the+7th+day_20700679.html | Now I'm gonna tell you, so you'll understand
How it all got started, how it all begin
God made the heavens, God made the earth
Made a man and a woman out of blood, sweat and dirt
And He looked around the neighborhood
And He said to His self, "This is good"
God made the rivers and the mountains with his hands
God made the wind to blow the shifting sands
He put the fishes in the, in the deep blue sea
Filled up the garden with flowers and the trees
And God looked around the neighborhood
And He said to His self, "This is good"
But the devil he was jealous, took the apple in his hand
The devil tempted woman and woman tempted man
God, He mourned and the tears rolled down His face
It broke His heart to see His children fall from grace
And on the seventh day they say, "God rested"
But you know that ain't the truth
Cause on the seventh day, God made the blue
Cause on the seventh day, God made the blue
The blues is been around ever since that day
Everybody gets the blues, everybody got to pay
For the wicked things we do
And what we put each other through
And on the seventh day they say, "God rested"
But you know that ain't the truth
Cause on the seventh day, God made the blue
Cause on the seventh day, God made the blue
God made the blue

Didn't I give you everything that a woman possibly can?
Oh, but the longer love I give you it's never enough
And I'm gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough
So come on, come on, come on, come on
And take it, take another little piece of my heart now, baby
Break it, break another little piece of my heart now, honey
Honey, have another little piece of my heart now, baby
You know you've got it if it makes you feel good
(If it makes you feel good)
You're out on the street looking good
Oh, you know, you deep down in your heart that it ain't right
You never ever hear me, you never hear me when I, when I cry at night
Oh, but each time I tell myself I just can't stand the pain
(I can't stand)
But when you hold me in your arms I've seen [Incomprehensible]
Again and again, and again
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Take it, take another little piece of my heart now, baby
Break it, break another little bit of my heart now, honey
Honey, have another little piece of my heart now, baby

Etta James | Prisoner Of Love | /e/etta+james/prisoner+of+love_20297438.html | Someone that I belong to
Doesn't belong to me
Someone who can't be faithful
Knows that I have to be
Wonder if I am wrong to give her my loyalty
Why should I be a lone soul
Why can't I be my own soul
Alone from night to night you'll find me
Too weak to break the chains that bind me
I need no shackles to remind me
I'm just a prisner of love
For one comand I stand and wait now
From one who's master of my Fate now
I can't escape for it's too late now
I'm just a prisoner of love
What's the good of my caring if someone is sharing
Those arms with me
Although she has another
I can't have another
For I'm not free
She's in my dreams awake or sleeping
Up on my knees to her I'm creeping
My very life is in her keeping
I'm just a prisoner of love.
Love.

Etta James | Somebody To Love | /e/etta+james/somebody+to+love_20808661.html | You need a job, so you can make some money
You need a nice warm place to stay
A sense of humor 'cause life ain't funny
A big stick keeps the wolves away
You need a car with good tyres on it
The right place to eat barbecue
A heavy duty set of jumper cables
No holes in your walkin' shoes
The main thing you're gonna find, you need
A fertile place to plant your seed
Gotta find somebody to love you
Someone to be there for you night and day
Somebody to share with, be a part of you
Love ain't no good till you give it away
You got to give it away
I got to recommend some Life Insurance
Be prepared to dial 911
Pay close attention to your high blood pressure
Stay away from the man with the gun
You need a reason to get up in the mornin'
Make sure the clock got snooze control
Be sure you got a place to run for cover
'Cause overnight things can get real cold
You're gonna find that sooner or later
You need a common denominator
You gotta find somebody to love
Someone to be there night and day
Someone to share with, be a part of you
Love ain't no good till you give it away
Oh, give it away
The main thing you're gonna go, what you need
A fertile place where the plant you seed
You got to find somebody to love
Someone to be there for you night and day
Someone to share with, be a part of you
Love ain't no good till you give it away
You gotta find somebody to love
Be there for you night and day
Someone to share, be a part of you

Gotta find somebody, you gotta find somebody

Love ain't no good till you give it away
Love ain't no good till you give it away
You gotta find somebody to love
Someone to be there for you night and day

Well don't think I'm trying not to learn
Since this is the perfect spot to learn
Teach me tonight
Starting with the ABC of it
Getting right down to the XYZ of it
Help me solve the mystery of it
Teach me tonight
The sky's a blackboard high above you
And if a shooting star goes by
I'll use that star to write "I love you"
A thousand times across the sky
One thing isn't very clear my love
Teachers shouldn't stand so near my love
Graduation's almost here my love
You'd better teach me tonight
I've played loves scenes in a flick or two
And I've also met a chick or two
But I still can learn a trick or two
Hey teach me tonight
I who thought I knew the score of it
Kind of think I should know much more of it
Off the wall, the bed, the floor of it
Hey teach me tonight
The midnight hours come slowly creeping
When there's no one there but you
There must be more to life than sleeping
Single in a bed for two
What I need most is post graduate
What I feel is hard to articulate
If you want me to matriculate
You'd better teach me tonight
What do you get for lessons
Teach me, come on and teach me, teach me tonight

Etta James | The Love Of My Man | /e/etta+james/the+love+of+my+man_21063247.html | The love of my man
Keeps me safe and warm
The love of my man
Protects me from all harm
'Cause I know he loves me
And I love him so, yes I do
And oh, the love of my man
It makes my whole life worth living
The love of my man
Makes me feel just like giving
Giving, yeah
And when his lips touch mine
It gives me a feeling so divine
Yes it does
When he goes away
I'm never, never lonely
'Cause I know he thinks of me
He thinks of me only, yes he does
But I'll go on loving him
I'll go on loving him anyway
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh the love-the love-the love of my man
Early in the morning
I like to talk about the love of my man
Late in the evening
In the wee hours of the morning
I like to talk about the love of my man
It's good...

Etta James | The Man I love | /e/etta+james/the+man+i+love_20776182.html | When the mellow moon begins to beam
Every night I dream a little dream
And of course Prince Charming is the theme
The he, for me.
Although I realize as well as you
It is seldom that a dream comes true,
To me it's clear
That he'll appear.
Some day he'll come along, the man I love
And he'll be big and strong, the man I love
And when he comes my way,
I'll do my best to make him stay.
He'll look at me and smile, I'll understand
And in a little while, he'll take my hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both won't say a word.
Maybe I shall meet him Sunday,
Maybe Monday, maybe not
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day.
He'll build a little home just meant for two
From which I'll never roam, who would? would you?
And so, all else above,
I'm waiting for the man I love.

Etta James | There's Something On Your Mind | /e/etta+james/theres+something+on+your+mind_20700697.html | There's something on your mind
By the way you look at me
There is something on your mind, baby
By the way you look at me
And what you're thinking brings happiness
Oh, and it bring misery
Please, please, don't try to tell me
I think, I, I understand
No, no, don't try to tell me, baby
'Cause I think, I, I understand
You want me to try and forget you
Well, I'll do, baby, I'll do the best I can
You know it hurts you when you're in love with someone
And you know that someone don't love you
It carries a heavy burden on your heart to know
That the someone that you're in love with
Is in love with your best friend
And I'll tell you, when someone else is rocking you
Rocking your cradle, you know, better
Than you can rock your cradle yourself
Then there's only one thing for you to do
You just pack your clothes turn around
And slowly walk out of the door
Look over your left shoulder as you go out
Then you hang your head and you say
Oh please don't try to tell me
Uh huh, I think, I understand
No, no, no, no please don't try to tell me
Because you think, you think I understand
Oh you want me to try, to try to forget you, baby
And I'll tell you, I'll do the best I can
You know after you have done all you could do
And you can't take no more, then you go downtown
You get your big baseball bat
And you come back on the scene
Where they both are still together
And then you just go and kick down the door
Now as you kick down the door you just start
Beating the hell of everybody that you can see
Everybody that comes through the door
And just as you make up your mind that you're gonna try
To forgive her, then out comes another one of your friends
And that really blows your mind so you go and think about
You say to yourself, baby I realize I've done wrong
But please forgive me and with a smirky smile on her face
Then she look up at you and she say
If you ever think about me
(Oh I think about you, baby)
If you ever change your mind
(Oh you're staying on my mind, baby)
If you ever think about me
(Oh I think, I think about you all the time)
And if I ever cross your mind
(You stay on my mind)
Well, you know, you know
You know I'm yours
And I know, I know you got to be mine
(Yeah)
There's something on your mind, be
I can tell by the way you look at me
(Oh, there's something, on my mind, baby)
There is something on your mind
(Oh can you tell, there's something on my mind)
By the way you look at me
(Oh the way I look at you, you look good to me)
And what you're thinking brings happiness
(Yes, baby)
Oh and it can bring misery
(Yes, all right)

Would it make any difference to you?

Do you, do you even know?
Do you even know that I'm still alive?
Oh, I wonder
I wonder if I ever, oh, cross
If I ever cross your sweet mind
If I got in, if I got into trouble
Would I send for you?
Would you come, would you come
Or would you stay away?
If we never love again
Like we used to do
Would it make, oh
Would it make any difference to you?

Baby, take off your shoes...(here, I'll take your shoes)

Go on over there and turn on the light...no, all the lights
Now come back here and stand on this chair...that's right
Raise your arms up in to the air...shake 'em
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
Suspicious minds are talking
Trying to tear us apart

Etta James | You Don't Know What Love Is | /e/etta+james/you+dont+know+what+love+is_20810574.html | You don't know what love is
'Til you've learned the meaning of the blues
Until you've loved a love you've had to lose,
You don't know what love is.
You don't know how lips hurt
Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost,
Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost,
You don't know what love is.
Do you know how a lost heart fears
At the thought of reminiscing,
And how lips that taste of tears
Lose their taste for kissing?
You don't know how hearts burn
For love that can, not live yet never dies.
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes,
You don't know what love is.

Europe | A Mother's Son | /e/europe/a+mothers+son_20634847.html | There's a light, a different kind of light
When we close, we close our eyes
There's a place, a distant kind of place
We can't let go, just can't let go
There's a faith, a stronger kind of faith
It makes you try, just a little harder
There's a time, a lonely kind of time
When you know, you simply know
That you just can't fake it
A mother's son knows he never walks alone
No matter what he's become
Hard as he tries, he can never give it back
Life's too short, for a mother's son
There's a rage, a silent kind of rage
It makes you live out on the edge
There's a pain, a different kind of pain
Knowing time will change everything
You just can't fake it
A mother's son knows he never walks alone
No matter what he's become
Hard as he tries, he can never give it back
Life's too short for a mother's son
You just can't fake it
A mother's son knows he never walks alone
No matter what he's become

Her brave and beautiful soul

Never taking time to stand for something
Hey, the future always come 'round here too soon
I just can't leave here doing nothing
In her light that shines I fall apart
(Fall apart)
In her darkness how she wins my heart
Her brave and beautiful soul

An emotional response
Sometimes better than an intellectual one
In her light that shines I fall apart

Her life is blessed and I don't understand
Her brave and beautiful soul

I had saved so much for you
And in the town I left behind me
There was nothing left to do.
I knew that you were waiting
For me to share your life
Cause I told you when I left, that
When I come back you'll be my wife.
But someone was waiting
In the shadows of the night
Someone was waiting
It just didn't feel right.
Danger on the track
Something told me there were
Strangers on my back
And I was so right.
Maybe I should surrender
Maybe I should give it up
But the strength I had inside
Told me you can never stop.
The men wanted to break me
Steal and bring me down
But I fought for you and later
They were lying on the ground.

I'm just a poor boy doin' the best that I can
I've been stepped upon and pushed around, yes, I have
You can tie me up, but never tie me down
Well, I was drivin' around, tryin' to find a place
To get a beer and some cigarettes
Pullin' up behind me, not afraid to flirt
There's a girl in a red Corvette
I saw in her face that she wanted to race
So I let my car out of jail
Man, I blew it, before I knew it
The Feds were on my tail
I knew it were trouble, but didn't wanna stop
I couldn't forget that girl
My dashboard slick from alcohol
And my head still in a whirl
Just a country boy in the city lights
Tryin' to have some fun
But the Man behind me didn't wanna play
He pulled out a gun
Hey, hey, Mr. Government Man...
Well, I had it comin', I hit the wall
And my car went up in flames
My head got hammered, thrown in the slammer
No one but me to blame
That's my story, ain't much glory
But I know I paid my dues
One thing I know in my heart and soul
I ain't never gonna lose
Hey, hey, Mr. Government Man...

Hey, what else can I do?

Julie's got the word today
She lost her job just one last pay
Life don't come easy anymore
Still strugglin' on by herself
Got a picture of Jimmy
There on the shelf
And she looks at him and says
Why did we let it go
I know that sometimes baby
We didn't see things eye-to-eye
But I got just one question
Did we have to say goodbye
Just like prisoners in paradise
Still far from heaven's door
We had it all but still we
Wanted more
Now I realize that I can't
Turn back the future's here
To stay but hey
We're just children of tomorrow
Hangin' on to yesterday
Jimmy still recalls the night
When he took his guitar
And headed on out
To find the big time
That was his dream
He gave up his past
And made it alright
But there's something missin'
In his heart tonight
Sometimes what you want
Ain't what you need
He misses drivin' down
To the lake at night
Holdin' his baby
In his arms so tight
Ain't it hard to find illusions
When you're livin' in a memory
Just like prisoners in paradise
So close but yet so far
There will come a time
No matter who you are
When you ask yourself
Was it right or wrong
For me to turn away but hey
We're just children of tomorrow
Hangin' on to yesterday

She turns around
Cause day and night she's waited patiently
Now a different kind of world out there
Is to be found
It's over not for everyone to see
This is the way it's meant to be
It's the way that we make things right
It's the way that we hold on tight
I know, it's the sigh of the times
It's the way that we make things turn
It's the way that we live and learn
I know, it's the sigh of the times
It wakes him up, he turns around
And now he's gone
He's been waitin' for this moment desperately
Now the time is right, he's turnin' back
He's going home
Yeah it's over now for everyone to see
This is the way it's meant to be
It's the way that we make things right...
And every time it's on my mind
I feel so insecure
It worries me to end up here alone
But every time I realize I need her more and more
I'd never make it on my own
It's the way that we make things right...

She'll be throwing all her love around

The castle will burn
In the enemy land
And he will save our people
When two springs had passed a messenger
Came down the track
He said that he had heard great news
"The king is coming back"
Oh the time he was gone
They suffered bad in misery
They didn't know the way
Everyone was shouting
Save our kingdom now
They suffered bad in pain
The time he was away
But maybe now they could survive
Now they could survive
When the king came down the hill
To his people and his land
There were many tears
That touched the ground
And made marks in the sand
Yes now they could start all over again
And live in peace throughout time
Everyone was shouting
When the king came down the hill
The king is returning with gold in his hand
The castle is burning
In the enemy land
The king is

Europe | When I See You Smile | /e/europe/when+i+see+you+smile_20502754.html | Sometimes I wonder I'd ever make it through?
Through this world without having you.
I just wouldn't have a clue
'Cause sometimes it seems like this world 's closing in on me.
And there's no way of breaking free and then I see You reach for me
Sometimes I wanna give up, wanna give in I wanna quit the fight
And then I see You Baby and everything's all right,
Everything's all right
When I see you smile
I can face the world, ohow
You know I can do anything
When I see you smile
I see a ray of light ohow
See it shining right through the rain
When I see you smile
Baby when I see you smile at me
Baby there's nothing in this world that could ever do
What a touch of your hand can do
It's like nothing that I ever knew
And when the rain is falling I don't feel it
'Cause you're here with me now.
I wanna add you baby is all I'll ever need
It's all I'll ever need.
When I see you smile
I can face the world, ohow
You know I can do anything
When I see you smile
I see a ray of light ohow
I see it shining right through the rain
When I see you smile baby
Baby when I see you smile at me
Sometimes I wanna give up, I wanna give in I wanna quit the fight
Then one look at you baby and everything's all right,
Everything's all right

Europe | Yesterday's News | /e/europe/yesterdays+news_10110156.html | Hey, hey.
Mm yeah
I've got something to tell you
Yeah!
Oh yeah!
I'm catching the fast train
Soon I'll be long, long gone
And I shoot through the night
Like a bullet from a loaded gun
They been trying to use me
Lie and abuse me
They're trying to break me
No one can take me, no way
Now I'm way down, I'm way down
Yes I'm way down, I'm way down
I'm so down I'm reading yesterdays news
I woke up this morning
Leaving on my mind
And I said to myself
I ain't gonna waste more time, no
I need someone to save me
Love and embrace me
They been trying to get me
Trying to set me up, bad luck
Now I'm way down, I'm way down
Yes I'm way down, I'm way down
I'm so down I'm reading yesterdays news
Yeah, yeah
I got time on my head
I know what I'll do
One made bed
I know I'm come through
Cause I know in my heart
There are things to be said
From the pain that I suffer
And the crush that I'll pay
Now I'm way down, I'm way down
Yes I'm way down, I'm way down
Yes I'm way, way, way, way down
I'm way, way, way down
I'm way, way, way down
Way down, yeah
I'm so down I'm reading yesterdays news

Eurythmics | Beautiful Child | /e/eurythmics/beautiful+child_20051774.html | Something that I said
Made you wear a frown
The way you hang your head
Has made the tears come down
But don't you wear a sigh
My beautiful child
You know it doesn't burn
When you touch the sun
So don't be concerned
My golden one
You're gonna reach the sky
Fly
Beautiful child
There is no other place
The human race
Is running out of space
There is no better love
And human love
Is what it takes
And I'll be at your side
When you're falling down
You'll be feeling fine
When you hit the ground
So don't slip away
Stay
Beautiful child
