Etta James

You go to my head and you linger like a haunting refrain
And I find you spinning 'round in my brain
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne
You go to my head like a sip of sparkling Burgundy brew
And I find the very mention of you
Like the kicker in a julep or two

The thrill of the thought that you might give a thought to my plea
Cast a spell over me
Still I say to myself get a hold of yourself
Can't you see that it never can be

You go to my head with a smile that makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand Julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance
You go to my head
You go to my head

Ow!

You give me what I want, when I want it, uh-huh
And I give you what you need when you need it, baby, uh-huh, yeah yeah
So pretty baby, wanna thank-you, thank you for it, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Cuz you give me what I want, when I want it Daddy, oo

[SOLO]

Oh, you give me what I want when I want it, uh-huh
And I give you, baby what you need, when ya need it, oo

Say you wanna drink let?s go down to the bar
Got a sleepy head you can sleep in my bed
Say you want some love, baby take my love now
Make you feel good and you know I know how

Wanna get around I?ll go buy you a car
Get you a plane if the distance is far
Say you want some love, baby take my love now
Make you feel good and you know I know how, how!
I know how

You give me what I want, when I want it, uh-huh

Gimme love, baby, gimme love, baby, gimme love
Gimme, gimme, gimme love, oh, oh, oh

You give me what I want, when I want it, yeah baby
Cuz I give you what you need when ya need it, yeah, yeah, baby

Say you wanna drink let?s go down to the bar
Got a sleepy head you can sleep in my bed
Say you want some love, baby take my love now
Make you feel good and you know I know how

Wanna get around I?ll go buy you a car
Get you a plane if the distance is far
Say you want some love, baby take my love now
Make you feel good and you know I know how, how! How, oo, oo, oo!

You give me what I want, when I want it, yeah baby
And I give you, baby what you need, when ya need it, oo

Baby, take off your coat...(real slow)
Baby, take off your shoes...(here, I'll take your shoes)
Baby, take off your dress
Yes, yes, yes

You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
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
They say that my love is wrong

They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
I know what love is

If you read in the paper that I went away
Would it make any difference to you?
If I packed my things and left town today
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?

Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
And brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying

You know you've got to find a way
To bring back love here today

Father, father
There's no need to escalate
Listen, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate

You know we've got to find a way
To bring back love back here today

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
And just talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on, what's going on
What's going on, what's going on

Mother, mother
Every body thinks we're wrong
Oh, who are they to judge us
Just because our hair is long

You know we've got to find a way
To bring back understanding today

You know we've got to find a way
And bring back some love back here today

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
And just talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on, what's going on
What's going on, I tell you what's going on

Oh, what's going on, what's going on
What's going on, what's going on

Mother, mother
Father, father
Good God

Love, we're in love

I know
(I know)
That you know
(You know, you know)
That I am
(I am)
In love with you

You know
(You know)
That I know
(I know, I know)
That you
(You)
Love me too

It is no secret what two hearts in ones can do
Won't you give me a chance to prove my love to you?

I know
(I know)
That you know
(You know)
That I am
(I am)
In love with you

We know, we know, we know
That they know, they know, they know
That we are, we are, we are so in love

You know, you know, you know
I know, I know, I know
You, you, you, a love me too

It is no secret what two hearts can do
A baby, won't you give me just a one more chance
To prove my love to you?

I know
(I know)
That you know
(You know)
That I am
(I am, I am)
In love with you

I know, I know, I know
You know, you know, you know
They know, they know, they know
We know, we know, we know that we're in love

You know my baby told me not so very long ago
He said, "I don't love you, baby
And you got to, you got to let me go"
And that was too much, too much for me
That's why I walked the back streets and cry

You know it hurts me so bad
To hear my baby say
Hear my baby say goodbye

He said another reason that makes me wanna leave
You ain't got enough of nothin' to keep me, keep me [Incomprehensible]
That was too much, oh, too much for me
That's why I walked the back streets, the back street and cry
Oh yeah

Oh, it hurts me, it hurts me so bad
Oh, to hear my baby
Hear my baby say goodbye

He said, "You're a good woman, Etta
To treat me like you do"
He said, "You ain't done nothin' to me
I just can't stay here with you"

I stood and watch my baby as far as I could see
You know the men started runnin'
After waiving, waiving goodbye to me
That was too much, too much for me
That's why I walked the back streets and cry
Oh yeah

You know it hurts me, it hurts me so bad
Oh, to hear my baby
Hear my baby say goodbye
Hear and say goodbye

You know it hurts me so bad
To hear my baby say goodbye
That's why I walked the back streets
The back streets and cry

Oh, I said it hurts me, it hurts me so bad
Hear my baby say, so long
Oh, it hurts me, hurts me, hurts me so bad
Hear my baby say, hear my baby say goodbye

Oh baby, oh, oh, it hurts me so bad
Hear my baby say goodbye
That why I walked the back streets
That why I walked the back streets and cry
Oh, that why I walked the back streets and cry
Cry, cry

Talkin' about you a man always ready to go
Now when it comes to movin', babe you're awful slow
And holler oh oh oh oh woah
And holler oh oh oh oh woah
I'm a w-o-m-a-n, a woman, a woman

You ain't got nothing in your pockets to keep me alive
But I got something for all you men to make you cry
And holler oh oh oh oh woah
And holler oh oh oh oh woah
I'm a w-o-m-a-n, a woman, a woman

Well Davey Crokett king of the wild frontier
I'll tame him down the hell (?) he was in
Jesse James, baddest man in the land
You shoulda saw me when I had him eatin', out of my hand

Now Dillinger, the woman in red got him
Now that should teach ya about a w-o-m-a-n
And holler oh oh oh oh woah
And holler oh oh oh oh woah
I'm a w-o-m-a-n, a woman, a woman, woman, woman, woman, woman

She may be weary
Women do get weary
Wearing the same shabby dress
And when she's weary

Try a little tenderness
You know she's waiting
Just anticipating things she may never possess
While she's without them,

Try a little tenderness
It's not just sentimental
She has her grief and care
And a word that's soft and gentle

Makes it easier to bear
You won't regret it
Women don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness

It's all so easy
Try a little tenderness

She may be weary
Women do get weary
Wearing the same shabby dress
And when she's weary

Try a little tenderness
You know she's waiting

It's not just sentimental
She has her grief and care
And a word that's soft and gentle

Makes it easier to bear

Tough Mary, Tough Mary... (Yeah, that's me...)
Tough Mary is tough

The boys would come from miles around, with presents every day;
But when they'd call on Mary, this is what she'd say:

Don't bring me poses, when it's shoes I need;
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary...)
Don't bring me flowers; don't bring me the sea...
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary is tough)
Just bring me diamonds, that'll suit me fine;
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary...)
And I'll love you forever, and you'll be mine...
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary is tough!)

Well, Mary, she's a very pretty girl; I guess she was born that way;
But whenever they would tell her that, this is what she'd say:

Don't bring me poses, when it's shoes I need;
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary...)
Don't bring me flowers; don't bring me the sea...
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary is tough)
Come on and bring me some diamonds, that'll suit me fine;


(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary...)
And I'll love you forever, and you'll be mine...
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary is tough!)

Tough Mary...
Tough Mary...
Tough Mary...

Don't bring me poses, when it's shoes I need;
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary...)
Don't bring me flowers; don't bring me the sea...
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary is tough)
Come on and bring me some diamonds, that'll suit me fine;
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary...)
And I'll love you forever, and you'll be mine...
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary is tough!)

Oh, I'm tough;
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary...)
Yeah, yeah I'm tough...

Time after time, I tell myself that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
So lucky to be the one you run to see
In the evening, when the day is through

I only know what I know, the passing years will show
You've kept my love so young, so new
And time after time, you'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you

I only know what I know, the passing years will show
You've kept my love so young, so new
And time after time, you'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you

Time after time, I tell myself that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
So lucky to be the one you run to see
In the evening, when the day is through

I only know what I know, the passing years will show
You've kept my love so young, so new
And time after time, you'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you

I only know what I know, the passing years will show
You've kept my love so young, so new
And time after time, you'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you

Oh! Will you never let me be?
Oh! Will you never set me free?
The ties that bound us
Are still around us
There's no escape that I can see
And still those little things remain
That bring me happiness or pain

A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces
An airline ticket to romantic places
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you
A tinkling piano in the next apartment
Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant
A fair ground's painted swings
These foolish things remind me of you
You came you saw you conquer'd me
When you did that to me
I knew somehow this had to be
The winds of March that make my heart a dancer
A telephone that rings but who's to answer?
Oh, how the ghost of you clings!
These foolish things remind me of you

First daffodils and long excited cables
And candle lights on little corner tables
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you
The park at evening when the bell has sounded
The "Ile de France" with all the gulls around it
The beauty that is Spring's
These foolish things remind me of you
How strange how sweet to find you still
These things are dear to me
They seem to bring you near to me
The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations
Silk stockings thrown aside dance invitations
Oh, how the ghost of you clings!
These foolish things remind me of you

Gardenia perfume ling'ring on a pillow
Wild strawb'ries only seven francs a kilo
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you
The smile of Garbo and the scent of roses
The waiters whistling as the last bar closes
The song that Crosby sings
These foolish things remind me of you
How strange how sweet to find you still
These things are dear to me
They seem to bring you near to me
The scent of smould'ring leaves, the wail of steamers
Two lovers on the street who walk like dreamers
Oh, how the ghost of you clings!
These foolish things remind me of you

Oh! Will you never let me be?
Oh! Will you never set me free?
The ties that bound us
Are still around us
There's no escape that I can see
And still those little things remain
That bring me happiness or pain

A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces
An airline ticket to romantic places
And still my heart has wings

There is no greater love
Than what I feel for you
No greater love,
No heart so true

There is no greater thrill
Than what you bring to me
No sweeter song
Than what you sing to me

You're the sweetest thing
I have ever known
And to think that
You are mine alone.

There is no greater love
In all the world, it's true
No greater love
Than what I feel for you

You're the sweetest thing
I have ever known,
And to think that
You are mine alone.

There is no greater love
In all the world, it's true
No greater love
Than what I feel for you

There is no greater love
Than what I feel for you
No greater love,
No heart so true

There is no greater thrill
Than what you bring to me
No sweeter song
Than what you sing to me

You're the sweetest thing
I have ever known
And to think that
You are mine alone.

There is no greater love
In all the world, it's true
No greater love
Than what I feel for you

You're the sweetest thing
I have ever known,
And to think that
You are mine alone.

There is no greater love
In all the world, it's true
No greater love
Than what I feel for you

The sky is crying, look at the tears rolling down the streets.
The sky is crying, look at the tears rolling down the streets.
I looked out my window, the rain was falling down in sheets.
My baby left me this morning, Lord knows I don't know the reason
why.
My baby left me this morning, I don't know the reason why.
And everytime I think about it, I hang my head and cry.
The sun is shining, although it's raining in my heart.
The sun is shining, although it's raining in my heart.
I love my baby, I hate to see us part.

Written By JAMES, ELMORE
<i>Lyrics &copy; EMI Music Publishing</i>

It's not the pale moon that excites me, that thrills and delights me
Oh no, it's just the nearness of you
Isn't your sweet conversation that brings this sensation
Oh no, it's just the nearness of you

When I'm in your arms and I feel you so close to me
All my wondrous dreams come true
I need no soft lights to enchant me if you only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight and to feel in the night, the nearness of you

I need no soft lights to enchant me if you will only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight and to feel in the night, the nearness of you

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.

I'm talking to all the lovers in the house tonight
Now listen, you know I want you to find out what's wrong
And get it right, or you should leave love alone
Because the love you save, it might be your own

People, I've been misled and I've been afraid
I've been hit in the head, ohh, and left for dead
I've been abused, woah and I've been accused
Been refused a piece of bread

But I ain't never in my life before
Seen so many love affairs go wrong as I do today

I want you to stop, find out what's wrong
Get it right or leave love alone
Because the love you save today
May very well be your own

I've been pushed around, oh yeah, and I've been lost and found
Given the sundown to get out of town
I've been taken outside, oh and I've been brutalized
I had to always be the one to smile and apologize

But I ain't never in my life before
Seen so many love affairs go wrong as I do today

I want you to stop, find out what's wrong
Get it right or leave love alone
Because the love you save today
Might very well be your own

Now come here baby, get ready to go
'Cause I'm in the mood to rock and roll
And that's all, I mean to tell you, that's all
All you have to do is rock and roll and that's all

We'll start to rockin', I don't like to stop
You better get ready to rock around the clock
And that's all, I mean to tell you, that's all
All you have to do is rock and roll and that's all

Don't worry about the time, I got plenty to spend
If the clock run down, we'll wind it up again
And that's all, I mean to tell you, that's all
All you have to do is rock and roll and that's all, yeah

You can learn everything they teach you in school
But if you can't rock and roll, you're not a fool
And that's all, I mean to tell you, that's all
All you have to do is rock and roll and that's all
All you have to do is rock and roll and that's all

The evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly
The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly
Then you and I came wandering by
And lost in a sigh were we

The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly
I can't forget how two hearts met breathlessly
Your arms opened wide and closed me inside
You took my lips, you took my love so tenderly

The evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly
The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly

You took my lips, you took my love so tenderly
