Maybe he's not much, just another man Doing what he can But what does she care When a woman loves a man She'll just string along All through thick and thin Till his ship comes in It's always that way When a woman love a man She'll be the first one to praise him When he's goin' strong The last one to blame him When everything's wrong It's such a one-sided game that they play But women are funny that way Tell her she's a fool She'll say yes, I know But I love him so And that's how it goes When a woman loves a man Tel I her she's a fool She'll say yes, I know But I love him so And that's how if goes When a woman loves a man
The very thought of you and I forget to do The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do I'm living in a kind of daydream I'm happy as a king And foolish though it may seem To me that's everything
The mere idea of you, the longing here for you You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you I see your face in every flower Your eyes in stars above It's just the thought of you The very thought of you, my love
[instrumental interlude]
I see your face in every flower Your eyes in stars above It's just the thought of you The very thought of you, my love
Iv'e been around the world in a plane Settled revolutions in Spain The North Pole I have charted But can't get started with you And at the golf course I'm under par Metro-Goldwyn wants me to star I've got a house and a show place But can't get no place with you
You're so supreme The lyrics I write of you Dream, dream, day and night of you Scheme just for the sight of you Baby but what good dose it do I've been consulted by Franklin D. Even Gabel had me to tea But now I'm broken hearted Can't get started with you
You're so supreme The lyrics I write of you Dream, dream, day and night of you Scheme just for the sight of you But what good does it do I've been consulted by Franklin D. Even Basic had me to tea But now I'm broken hearted Can't get started with you
You can't be mine And someone else's too Someday you'll find I've been a friend to you I don't believe that life's worth living I gave you all there was worth giving You never cared how I fared or what I do I called you mine but I was not to blame For all the time you played up to Hand and game Second hand love I can't see It's good for some but not for me You can't be mine And somene else's too I called you mine but I was not to blame For all the time you played up to Hand and game Second hand love I can't see It's good for some but not for me You can't be mine And somene else's too
Deep rhythm captivates me Hot rhythms stimulate me Can't help but swing it boy Swing it brothers swing Don't stop to diddle daddle Stop this foolish prattle Come on swing me boy Swing it brothers swing Raring to go and there aint nobody Gonna hold me down Say listen boy

I hate to see that evening sun go down I hate to see that evening sun go down 'Cause, my baby, he's gone left this town Fellin' tomorrow like I feel today If I'm feelin' tomorrow like I feel today I'll pack my truck and make my give-a-way
St. Louis woman with her diamond ring Pulls that man around by her If it wasn't for her and her That man I love would have gone nowhere, nowhere I got the St. Louis Blues Blues as I can be That man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me
I love my baby like a school boy loves his pie Like a Kentucky colonel loves his mint'n rye I love my man till the day I die.............
All of me Why not take all of me Cant you see Im no good without you Take my lips I want to loose them Take my arms Ill never use them Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry How can I go on dear without you You took the part that once was my heart So why not take all of me
Them that's got shall get Them that's not shall lose So the Bible said and it still is news Mama may have, Papa may have But God bless the child that's got his own That's got his own Yes, the strong gets more While the weak ones fade Empty pockets don't ever make the grade Mama may have, Papa may have But God bless the child that's got his own That's got his own Money, you've got lots of friends Crowding round the door When you're gone, spending ends They don't come no more Rich relations give Crust of bread and such You can help yourself But don't take too much Mama may have, Papa may have But God bless the child that's got his own That's got his own Mama may have, Papa may have But God bless the child that's got his own That's got his own He just worry 'bout nothin' Cause he's got his own
Away from the city that hurts and knocks, I'm standing alone by the desolate docks in the still and the chill of the night I see the horizon the great unknown my heart has an ache it's as heavy as stone with the dawn coming on, make it last
I cover the waterfront I'm watching the sea Will the one I love Be coming back to me
I cover the waterfront In search of my love An I'm covered By a starlit sky above
Here am I Patiently waiting Hoping and longing Oh how I yearn Where are you Have you thought back time Will you remember Will you return
Will the one I love Be coming back To me............
This suspense is killin' me I can't stand uncertainty Tell me now, I've got to know Whether you want me to stay or go Love me or leave me or let me be lonely You won't believe me, I love you only I'd rather be lonely Then happy with somebody else You might find the night time The right time for kissin' But night time is my time For just reminiscin' Regrettin' instead of forgettin' with somebody else There'll be no one unless that someone is you I intend to be independently blue I want your love but I don't want to borrow To have it today to give back tomorrow For your love is my love There's no love for nobody else
There'll be no one unless that someone is you I intend to be independently blue I want your love but I don't want to borrow To have it today to give back tomorrow For your love is my love There's no love for nobody else
Sunday is gloomy, My hours are slumberless Dear as the shadows I live with are numberless Little white flowers Will never awaken you Not where the black culture's Sorrow has taken you Angels have no thoughts Of ever returning you Wouldn't they be angry If I thought of joining you?
Gloomy Sunday
Sunday is gloomy, with shadows I spend it all My heart and I Have decided to end it all Soon there'll be flowers And prayers that I say I know But let them not weep Let them know That I'm glad to go For death is no dream And in death I'm caressing you With the last Breath of my soul I'll be blessing you
Gloomy Sunday
Dreaming, I was only dreaming I awake and I find You asleep in the deep of my heart Deep Darling I hope That my dream never haunted you My heart is telling you How much I wanted you Gloomy Sunday
Away from the city that hurts and knocks, I'm standing alone by the desolate docks in the still and the chill of the night I see the horizon the great unknown my heart has an ache it's as heavy as stone with the dawn coming on, make it last
I cover the waterfront I'm watching the sea Will the one I love Be coming back to me
I cover the waterfront In search of my love An I'm covered By a starlit sky above
Here am I Patiently waiting Hoping and longing Oh how I yearn Where are you Have you thought back time Will you remember Will you return
Will the one I love Be coming back To me............
Ask the sky above And ask the earth below Why I’m so in love And why I love you so Couldn't tell you though I tried do Just why I'm yours When you went away You left a glowing spark Trying to be gay as Whistling in the dark I am only what you make me Come take me I'm yours
How can I happy I would be to beg or borrow For sorrow With you Even though I knew Tomorrow You'd say we were through If we drift apart Then I'll be lost and alone Though you use my heart Just for a steppin’ stone How can I help dreaming of you I love you I'm yours
How can I happy I would be to beg or borrow For sorrow With you Even though I knew Tomorrow You'd say we were through If we drift apart Then I'll be lost and alone Though you use my heart Just for a steppin’ stone How can I help dreaming of you I love you I'm yours.......
Embrace me My sweet embraceable you Embrace me My irreplaceable you Just to look at you My heart grows tipsy in me You and you alone
Bring out the gypsy in me
I love all The many charms about you Above all I want my arms about you Don't be naughty baby Come to me Come to me do My sweet embraceable you
I love all The many charms about you Above all I want my arms about you Don't be naughty baby Come to me Come to me do My sweet embraceable you..........
Never had nothing No one to care That's why I seem to have More than my share I've got a man crazy for me He's funny that wayWhen I hurt his feelings Once in a while His only answer is one little smile I've got that man crazy for me He's funny that wayI can see no other way And no better plan End it all and let him go To some better gal But I'm only human A coward at best I'm more than certain He'd follow me WestThough he loves to work And slave for me everyday He'd be so much better off If I went away But why should I leave him Why should I go He'd be unhappy without me I know I've got that man crazy for me He's funny that way
I don't know why but I'm feeling so sad I long to try something I never had Never had no kissin' Oh, what I've been missin' Lover man, oh, where can you be?
The night is cold and I'm so alone I'd give my soul just to call you my own Got a moon above me But no one to love me Lover man, oh, where can you be?
I've heard it said That the thrill of romance Can be like a heavenly dream
I go to bed with a prayer That you'll make love to me Strange as it seems
Someday we'll meet And you'll dry all my tears Then whisper sweet Little things in my ear Hugging and a-kissing Oh, what I've been missing Lover man, oh, where can you be?
You better go now Because I like you much, too much You have a way with you You ought to know now Just why I like you very much The night was gay with you
There's the moon above And it gives my heart a lot of swing In your eyes there's love And the way I feel it must be spring I want you so now You have lips I love to touch You better go now You better go, 'cause I like you much, too much
No good man Lovin' all the no good things Never treats me as he should That ain't no good He's always bringing me down He's no saint Heaven knows thats what he ain't Spends his money foolishly Not on me I'm the one who gets the run-around
I ought to hate him and yet I love him so For I require Love that's made of fire And in his arms I find I always get that kind No good man Ever since the world began There have been other fools like me Born to be In love with a no good man
