Natalie Cole

Well, I've been a lot of places
And I've seen a lot of things
I met all kinds of people
Including queens and kings

Had my share of heartbreak
Stabbed me in my back
I cried to my friends about it
And they talked a lot of slack

But oh, what a revelation
When much to my surprise
Then came you, wonderful you
Right before my eyes

5 minutes away, 5 minutes away
You know I been
All around the world to find
It was right at my door

5 minutes away, 5 minutes away
I found love, love
Just minutes away

Everybody's got a story
And it ain't nothing new
I'm talking to the one
Who's been looking for love
And it just might be you

While you're running around
Hanging all around town
With a fool that ain't no good
But that very special someone
Could be right in your neighborhood

5 minutes away, 5 minutes away
You know I went
All around the world
Just to find it right at my door

5 minutes away, 5 minutes away
You see, I found love, love, love
Just minutes away

Times when love ain't easy
It's a game that we all play
And the prize that we pay
Is sometimes much too high

Take it from me and don't look too far
Love might be in your own backyard
There's a better chance to find romance
Just by starting today

5 minutes away
You know I went
All around the world
To find it right at my door

5 minutes away, 5 minutes away
You know, love, love, love
Could be minutes away
I said, love, love, love
Is just minutes away

5, 5, 5, 5 minutes away
5, 5, 5 minutes away
5, 5, 5, 5 minutes away
5, 5, 5 minutes away

5, 5, 5, 5 minutes away
5, 5, 5 minutes away
5, 5, 5, 5 minutes away
5, 5, 5 minutes away
5, 5, 5, 5 minutes away
5, 5, 5 minutes away

A Song for Christmas

Words & Music by Joseph Patrick

Christmas?. can be a lonely time of year my friend
And when the times get tough
And ? don?t even have enough for a card to send
Well you can always do the best that you can

(Chorus)
So I bring you a song for Christmas
May love be with us in our hearts
And may joy and true happiness take part

Christmas ? sometimes I wonder what it?s all about
And though I?ve had my doubts
Maybe that ray of hope can come shinin? through
And this old world can be a better place for me and you

(Chorus)
So I bring you a song for Christmas
May love be with us in our hearts
And may joy and true happiness take part

I've been so many places in my life and time

I've sung a lot of songs and I've made some bad climbs

I've acted out my life in stages with ten thousand people watching

Oh, but we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you

I know your image of me is what I hope to be, I've treated you unkindly

Oh, but Darling can't you see that, there's no one more important to me

Baby, baby, can't you see through me, 'cause we're alone now

And I'm singing this song to you, you taught me precious secrets

Of a true love withholding nothing, you came out in front

When I was hiding, yeah, yeah, but now its so much better

If my words don't quite come together, please listen to the melody

'Cause my love is in there somewhere hiding

I love you in a place where there is no space or time, I love you for my life

You are a friend of mine, and when my life is over

Remember, remember, remember when we were together

And we are alone now, and I was singing this song to you

We were alone, and I was singing, yeah singing

We were alone, and I was singing this song for you

Singing my song, I'm singing my song for you

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

I go through the strangest kind of changes
Tryin' to find myself a way to pay my dues
And would you believe it, I'm so urban
My suburban friends don't know my bag of blues

I'm up in the mornin' on the corner so sedated
That you hardly know it's me
And late in the evening when I'm mellow
There's my fellow with the world for me to see

Oh, it's a world full of cocktails at nine
Dinners and wine and very late shows
And where the crowd goes

I'm a girl with a world of her own
A queen on her throne
Till every thing's gone and then

I wake up to find that I'm a stranger
In a world where I have never been before
I look for the man who held my hand
But now I know that he'll be coming back no more

I'm telling you 'bout this bag of blues
It's payin' dues, but I got news
Gimme that, I really want that

Speakin' 'bout bag of blues
Mister, I'm payin' dues
Listen I'm changin' shoes
I'm gonna make me some changes

I walk in a daze and then I'm back to my apartment
Where I'll grab another wink
And doze on the sofa till eleven
Then get up and pour myself another drink

Then back at the party, I'll be hearty
While waitin' for some better news
But now in the meantime
I'll just sit right here and cool it

We're gonna cool it now
And listen to the rhythm
Ahmad's blues

Thinkers think about love till it comes out their ears
Drinkers drink about love and they cry in their beers
Now you can think about it, drink about it
But if you're on the brink about it
Don't fall till you know all about love

Singers croon about love sing with sadness and pain
A tycoon about love spends a fortune in vain
Sing a dirge about it, splurge about it
But if you're on the verge about it
Don't fall till you know all about love

You must examine your motives clearly
Look at the facts sincerely
Or you mess up very dearly if you don't

Writers write about love till their fingers are sore
Fighters fight about love till their flat on the floor
You can write about it, fight about it
Think about it, drink about it
But there's one item I forgot to recall

You can't know all about love unless you fall

Ah, thinkers think about love till it comes out their ears
And drinkers drink about love and they cry in their beers
But you can think about it, drink about it
But if you're on the brink about it
Don't fall till you know all about love

Writers write about love till their fingers are sore
Fighters fight about love till their flat on the floor
Now you can write about it, fight about it
Think about it, drink about it
But there's one item I forgot to recall

You can't know all about love no, no
'Cause I know all about love, yeah yeah
You can't know all about love unless you fall
In love

You must examine your motives clearly
Look at the facts sincerely
Or you mess up very dearly if you don't

Doctors know about love that it's bad on the nerves
Drivers show about love that it's hard on the curves
Lose your nerve about it, squirm about it
Doubt about it, pout about it
But there's one item I forgot to recall

You can't know all about love no, no
'Cause I know all about love, yeah yeah
You can't know all about love no, no
'Cause I know all about love, yeah yeah

You can't know all about love unless you fall
In love

What a day this has been
What a rare mood I'm in
Why it's almost like being in love

There's a smile on my face
For the whole human race
Why it's almost like being in love

All the music of life seems to be
(Just) Like a bell that is ringing for me

And from the way that I feel
When the bell starts to peel
I would swear I was falling, I could swear I was falling
- It's almost like being in love

Written by Natalie Cole

(Hoo, hoo, hoo) Mmm (hoo, hoo, hoo)

Growing up wasn't easy for Annie Mae

(Hoo, hoo, hoo)

A little girl in a great big world

Annie Mae (hoo, hoo, hoo)

No one knew about her past

Some people swore she'd never last

She was (growing up much too fast)

Growing (hoo, hoo, hoo)

Just a little too fast (hoo, hoo, hoo)

Never had her a Mama, no, no

Annie Mae (hoo, hoo, hoo)

Rarely heard a kind spoken word

Annie Mae (hoo, hoo, hoo)

Looking at life through an empty shell

And all the time she's catching hell

She was growing

(Growing up much too fast) up much too fast

Does anybody know where is Annie Mae today

Where oh where is Annie Mae

All you got to do is look into the faces of

All the young girls

On the avenue--(young girls!)

Oh, well, (hoo, hoo, hoo) ha

In the night hear her cry, Annie Mae (hoo, hoo, hoo)

Hurt and pain keeps coming again

And again, and again, Annie Mae (hoo, hoo, hoo)

Trippin' and runnin' is blowin' her mind

Tryin' to decide if she'll make it this time

She was (growing up) oh, yeah (much too fast)

She was (growing up much too fast)

Somebody got to stop her, oh Annie, Annie

(Ooh) (hoo, hoo, hoo) (where is Annie Mae)

Annie, Annie

Somebody

(Ooh) (hoo, hoo, hoo) (where is Annie Mae)

got to stop her, oh, Annie, Annie,

(Ooh) (hoo, hoo, hoo) (where is Annie Mae)

Annie, Annie

She's runnin', she's runnin'

Growin' up too fast, oh, oh

Growin' up too fast, oh, oh

(She's runnin') oh, oh

Growin' up too fast, oh, hey

(She's runnin') Annie, Annie Mae, yeah

(She's runnin') Don't you think somebody aught to stop you

(She's runnin') Somebody aught to stop you

(She's runnin') Don't you think I'm gonna try to stop you

Written by S. Garrett & D. Boyette

Blow Daddy, aww, yeah

Here we are, standing at the hard line

We made it last this long

The two of us, together since the first time

And I believe our love is still strong

Seems love has a funny way

Well, it can come or go or it can choose to stay

But love says what it has to say

(Chorus)

Matter of fact (ooh, as a matter of fact)

I love you (oh, as a matter of fact)

And I love that you love me back

As a matter of fact (ooh, as a matter, a matter)

Some said we wouldn't make it this far

But they don't talk no more (no more)

The love we share is precious as a big star

And what we have's what others hope for

Seems love has a funny way

Well, it can come or go or it can choose to stay

But love says what it has to say

(Chorus)

Matter of fact (ooh, as a matter of fact)

I need you (oh, as a matter of fact)

And I'm glad that you need me back

As a matter of fact (ooh, as a matter, a matter)

Mm, matter of fact, yeah (ooh as a matter of fact)

I want you (yeah, as a matter of fact)

And I can't tell you more than that

As a matter of fact, (ooh, as a matter) yeah (matter)

Aww, blow, Daddy

Musical Interlude

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Seems love has a funny way

Well, it can come and go or it can choose to stay

But love says what it has to say

(Repeat chorus)

Matter of fact (ooh, as a matter of fact)

I love you (oh, as a matter of fact)

yeah and I love that you love me back

As a matter of fact (ooh, as a matter of fact)

Ooh, ooh, baby

Matter of fact (ooh, as a matter of fact)

I need you (yeah, as a matter of fact)

And I'm glad that you need me right back

As a matter of fact

(Ooh, as a matter) yeah (a matter)

(Herman Hupfield)
This day and age we're living in
Gives cause for apprehension
With speed and new invention
And things like third dimension

Yet we get a trifle weary
With Mr. Einstein's theory
So we must get down to earth at times
Relax relieve the tension
And no matter what the progress
Or what may yet be proved
The simple facts of life are such
They cannot be removed

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss,
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by

And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by

Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny

Well, it's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

(Queen Latifah) Times don't change, right?
(Rod Stewart) Sing it to me, Latifah

Oh, I'm singing it to you right now
Cause we're talking about
Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date

Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny

Well, it's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
As time goes by

Time goes by

Beside the bay
I left my love at Avalon
And sailed away
I dream of him at Avalon
From dusk until dawn
And so I think I'll travel on
To Av-va-lon

Beside the bay

And sailed away
Oh I, dream of him at Avalon
From dusk until dawn
And so I think I'll travel on
To Av...va-lon...

Beautiful dreamer, you are like magic to me

'Cause you share all your love

And your life and your love is so fine in my life

It's just what I've been looking for

Searching for and you care

Beautiful dreamer, not an illusion to me

You know I can tell by the way that you've taken my hand

In a moment of sadness your gladness is there to surround me

Astound me and you care

I've seen all the people (waiting at the station)

Waiting at the station

(no imagination) No imagination

They're too busy doing nothing

Making all kinds of arrangements

(Nothing's really) But nothing's really changing them

(Changing them)

They're (they're) still asking why (why) their well is dry

I tried to tell them that love is the answer

They need a beautiful dreamer

If I could I'd share you with them

Oh, but you know it took so very long to find what I've needed

And my greatest obsession is doing my best

Just to keep you and love you 'cause you care

You're one in a million

(Always giving into) Always giving in to

(me whenever I begin to) me whenever I begin to act

A little like I'm crazy

Still (still you never faulter) you never faulter

(never try to alter) or never try to alter my integrity

How I could I not be proud to have your wisdom

You're such a beautiful dreamer (beautiful dreamer)

You are like magic to me

'Cause you share all your love

And your life (and your life)

And your love is so fine

(So fine in my life) in my life

And you know its just what I've been searching for

Looking for and you care

Love is funny
Or it's sad
Or it's quiet
Or it's mad
It's a good thing
Or it's bad
But beautiful

Beautiful
To take a chance
And if you fall
You fall
And I'm thinking
I wouldn't mind
At all

Love is tearful
Or it's gay
It's a problem
Or it's play
It's a heartache
Either way
But beautiful

And I'm thinking
If you were mine
I'd never
Let you go
And that would be
But beautiful
I know

And I'm thinking
If you were mine
I'd never
Let you go
And that would be
But beautiful
That would be
But beautiful
I know

Frosty window pains
Candles gleaming inside
Painted candycanes on the tree

Santa's on his way
He's filled his sleigh with things
Things for you and for me

It is the time of year
When the world falls in love
Every song you hear seems to say

Merry Christmas !
May your new year dreams come true

And this song of mine
In three quarter time
Wishes you and yours
The same thing too

Frosted window panes
Candles gleaming inside
Painted candy canes on the tree
Santa's on his way
He's filled his sleigh with things
Things for you and for me

It's that time of year
When the world falls in love
Every song you hear seems to say
"Merry Christmas,
May Your New Year Dreams Come True"
And this song of mine in three-quarter time
Wishing you and yours the same thing too

Happy holidays there is snow in the air
Silver bells and sleighs everywhere
People that you meet on any street will smile
Tis the seas to care

There are songs to sing
Every family’s a choir
Toys to wrap and bring to the tree
Your own wishing star is not so far from view
Wish a wish or two and I promise you
Christmas wishes can and do come true

I'm gonna love you
Like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain
And deep as a river
Come rain or come shine

I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don't ever bet me
Cause I'm gonna be true
If you let me

You're gonna love me
LikE nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together
Unhappy together
And won't it be fine?
Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money
But I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine

Darling, je vous aime beaucoup
Je ne sais pas what to do
You know you've completely
Stolen my heart

Morning, noon and night-time too
Toujours, wondering what to do
That's the way I've felt
Right from the start

Ah, Cherie!
My love for you is tres, tres fort
Wish my French were good enough
I'd tell you so much more

But I hope that you compree


All the things you mean to me
Darling, je vous aime beaucoup
I love you, yes I do

All the things you mean to me

Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore
Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore
Darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless, why stir up memories
Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for
Awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore

Hoo, hoo, mm

Don't mention my heartache

I just hide it away

Don't want to remember what brings me pain

Who does it hurt if I'm masquerading

When anybody asks me you know I'll say, yeah

That I love him, he loves me

We're so good together

I'll pretend he's home again

Though he's gone forever

Don't mention my heartache

'Cause I don't want nobody to know, no, no, no

Just keep it a secret that he let me go

'Cause I don't want nobody to know

That I go through the motions (motions)

Put a smile on my face, yes, I do

I heard that the weather is changing today, yeah, yeah

And I don't talk about my business to noone

If anybody asks me you know what I'll say, yeah

That I love him; he loves me, we're so good together

I'll pretend he's home again, though he's gone forever

Don't mention my heartache

'Cause I don't want nobody to know, oh, no

Just keep it a secret that he let me go

'Cause I don't want nobody to know--

Oh, oh, oh, oh, hoo--

That the heartache that I'm feeling makes me lonely, oh---

Don't mention my heartache

'Cause I don't want nobody to know, no, no

Just keep it a secret that he let me go

And I don't want nobody to know, nobody

(Can't talk about it)

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah

(Don't want to think about it)

And I don't want nobody, I got a heartache

I don't want nobody, I don't want nobody, I got a heartache

(Don't mention my heartache)

I got a heartache, he let me go

It's a sweet face, yes, it is

Don't want nobody, can't stand nobody

(Don't mention my heartache)

And I got to keep it a secret

(I'm minding my business)

'Cause my man, 'cause my man

Ain't my man no more

Keeping it a secret, oh, all to myself, he let me go...

Written by Jerry Knight and Aaron Zigman

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

Woh, woh, oh, oh

Everlasting, what a feeling

Just to know the love we've got is

Everlasting, and never ending

Is all I need to keep on givin'

I was just an average girl

Playing the field, hoping

For someone to come into my world

Someone not afraid to look into my eyes

And make a connection

Then you walked in my direction

And from the moment that we touched

I knew what we found was

Everlasting, what a feeling

Just to know the love we've got is

Everlasting, and never ending

Is all I need to keep on giving

Walking down a one way street

I had to be careful

'Cause it seemed that every guy that I'd meet

Was looking just to have another one night stand

But through your devotion

I surrendered my emotion

I'm giving you the best of me

'Cause I'm sure that we'll be

(Everlasting) Everlasting (what a feeling)

Just to know the love we've got is

Everlasting and never ending

Is all I need to keep on giving

Everlasting love, oh, yeah

(Woh, oh, oh)

It's gonna be, it's gonna be a

(Everlasting love) uh, ha

Wo, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Even though the cold wind's blowin'

Nothing keeps our love from growin'

Through the fire we will survive together

Until the end of time

(Everlasting) woh, oh (what a feeling)

What a feeling, just to know the love we've got is

(Everlasting) everlasting (and never ending)

And never ending

Is all I need to keep on givin'

(Everlasting) Scat (what a feeling)

Our love's gonna grow

Even through the fire, Baby

(Everlasting) everlasting

(And never ending) never ending

(Scat)

Even though the cold wind's blowin'

Nothing keeps our love from growing

Through the fire we will survive together

Until the end of time

(Everlasting, what a feeling) woo, woo, woo

It's gonna be, it's gonna be a

(Everlasting) yes, it is (and never ending)

Until the end of time

And even through the fire, Baby

(Everlasting) oh, yeah

(What a feeling)

Just to know that the love we've got is

(Everlasting) everlasting (never ending)

What a feeling, oohy, oohy, oohy

You and me, (Everlasting love)

Babe, you and me, Babe

We got a connection (woh, oh, oh)

In the right direction, Baby

Just me and you, (everlasting love)

Just you and me

Since the time we met never shall forget

The magic feeling when I look in your eyes

Every now and then I see you again

But the words never come out right

I've always been painfully shy

I hide what I feel inside

Tonight I (never let you get away)

Open my heart (Invite you in to stay)

I need you (more than words can say)

And I hope you feel the same

(Gonna make you mine, I'll make you mine)

You've captured my heart

And I won't take no for an answer

(Gonna make you mine, I'll make you mine)

Hope that there's a chance, Baby

That we can get together

Cause I (Gonna make you mine) gonna make you see

(Gonna make you mine) you were meant for me

(Gonna make you mine)

I wanna love you endlessly

Many times before I would just ignore

Love when it came around and knocked on my door

Keeping to myself, trusting no one else

I've put my heart out of reach on a shelf

With you I can't pass up this chance

For a once in a lifetime romance

Cause after all (someone said it very plain)

When it comes to love (no pain no gain)

I think I'll (take a chance on you)

And you know I play to win I'm

(Gonna make you mine, I'll make you mine)

You've captured my heart

And I won't take no for an answer

(Gonna make you mine, I'll make you mine)

Hope that there's a chance, Honey

That we can get together

Cause I (gonna make you mine)

Gonna make you see (Gonna make you mine)

You were meant for me (Gonna make you m

Woh, woh, ha, yeah, hmm---, oh

Good morning heartache, you old gloomy site

Good morning heartache

Thought we said goodbye last night

I tossed and turned until it seemed that you had gone

But here you are with the dawn

Hoo, wish I'd forget you, but you're here to stay, yeah

It seems I met ya, when my love had gone away

I start each day out just by saying to you

Good morning heartache, what's new

Stop haunting me now, can't shake you no how

Why don't you just leave me alone

I've got those Monday blues

those straight through Sunday blues

Oh, good morning heartache, here we go

Here we go, here we go again, well

Good morning heartache

You're the one who knew me when

I guess I might as well get used to you hanging around

Good morning heartache, I see you're back in town

Good morning heartache, why don't ya sit on down, sit down ------

Let me look at you, just look at you

You're a sight for sore eyes, yes you are

If you knew how many nights I spent holding you so tight

Then I'd wake up and we're still apart

Now you're really near and I'm really here

And I can wrap my arms around you, yes I can

This is just like I remember, no I think its even better

Maybe even more than I can stand

Baby, its good to be back, so good to be back

Baby, its good to be back in your arms again

Baby, its good to be back, so good to be back

Honey, its good to be back with you, oh yeah

Well its not the first time we've been apart

But as far as I'm concerned its the last

I don't care what we have to do to stay together from now on

But those days away from you are past

'Cause when I go through the day and I haven't seen your face

Seems like nothing that I do feels right

You're the one I wanna see when I wake up every day

You're the one I wanna kiss goodnight

Baby, its good to be back, so good to be back

Baby, its good to be back in your arms again (ooh)

Baby, its good to be back, so good to be back

Honey, its good to be back with you

So good, so good, so good, so good, so good with you, baby

So good with you

Why don't you start me up with just one kiss

That's just one of the things I've missed

You better kiss me once again 'til it finally settles in

Well, I think I could get used to this

Baby, its good to be back, so good, so good to be back, real

You may be an ambassador to England or France
You might like to gamble, you might like to dance
You may be the heavyweight champion of the world
You might be a socialite with a long string of pearls

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Serve somebody, serve somebody
It might be the devil or it might be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody

You might be a rock 'n' roll man, prancing on the stage
Plenty of drugs at your command and women in a cage
You might be a businessman or some high degree thief
They may call you 'Doctor', they may call you 'Chief'

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Oh, serve somebody, yeah, yeah, serve somebody
Oh, it may be the devil or it might be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody

Now, you may be a State Trooper, you might be a young Turk
You may even be the head of some great big TV network
You may be rich or poor and you may be blind or chained
You might be living in another country under another name

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Oh, serve somebody, serve somebody
It might be the devil or it might be the Lord
But you're still gonna have to serve somebody

Maybe a construction worker working on a home
Might be living in a mansion, you might live in a dome
You may own guns, you may even own tanks
You may be somebody's landlord, you might even own banks

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Oh yeah, serve somebody, serve somebody
Oh, it might be the devil or it might be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody

Now you can call me Terry or you might call me Moore
You may call me David or you might call me Coe
You can call me RJ or you can call me Ray
You can call me anything, I don't care what you say

You're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Oh, serve somebody, serve somebody
It might be the devil or it might be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody

You may be a rock 'n' roll star, prancing on the stage
You got plenty of drugs at your command, you got women in a cage
You might be a big businessman or some high degree thief
Now they might call you 'Doctor', they might call you 'Chief'

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Serve somebody, serve somebody
It might be the devil or it might be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody

It might be the devil, it might be, it might be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Oh man, you're gonna have to serve somebody, serve somebody
Serve somebody, serve somebody
Serve somebody, serve somebody

It might be the devil or it might be the Lord
Serve somebody, serve somebody
Serve somebody, serve somebody
Serve somebody, serve somebody
Somebody, somebody

There goes my young intended
The thing has ended, regrets are vain
I'll never find another half so sweet
And we'll never meet again
I got impatient, told him goodbye
Sad eyes out in the rain

He was too good to me
How can I get along now?
So close he stood to me
Everything seems all wrong now
He would have brought me the sun
Making me smile, that was his fun

When I was mean to him
He'd never say go away now
I was a queen to him
Who's gonna make me gay now
It's only natural that I'm blue
He was too good to be true

Maybe
I should have saved
Those leftover dreams
Funny
But here's that rainy day

Here's that rainy day
They told me about
And I laughed at the thought
That it might turn out this way

Where is that worn out wish
That I threw aside
After it brought my love so near

Funny how love becomes
A cold rainy day
Funny
That rainy day is here

It's funny
How love becomes
A cold rainy day

Funny
That rainy day is here

I never loved him, he never reached me
He was just someone, someone I knew
I think about him on alternate Thursdays
When I haven't got anything better to do

He's got a problem if he thinks I need him
I couldn't care less now that we're through
I only sit home and I wait for his phone call
When I haven't got anything better to do

Wasn't I awfully smart not to fall and break my heart
He never meant a thing to me, he's gone
I'm glad, I'm free

Stand up, stand on your own, that’s what they tell me

You can make it alone, but where does it say I have to move

Far away from you to prove I’m strong,

Oh when all it really proves is I’m lonely without you

And loneliness has to be wrong, I live for your love, (everyday), every minute

I live for your love, (in my life), want you in it

I live for your love, I admit it, I live for your love

I wake up with no one to kiss, sometimes I wonder, (wonder, wonder) if I just exist

I know there are people I can see, places I could be, and friends who call

Oh but what good does it do, there’s no substitute for you

I want you or nothing at all, I live for your love, (every day), every minute

I live for your love, (in my life), want you in it, I live for your love, I admit it

I live for your love and your kisses, and know how I’m missing

'Cause darling I live for your love, (Everyday), every minute

I live for your love, (Got one life) want you in it

I live for your love, I hate to admit it, but oh, I live for, I’d die for

Goodbye, No use leading with our chins, This is where our story ends Never lovers, ever friends. Goodbye, Let our hearts call it a day, But before you walk away I sincerely want to say I wish you bluebirds in the spring To give your heart a song to sing, And then a kiss, but more than this, I wish you love. And in July, a lemonade To cool you in some leafy glade; I wish you health, and more than wealth, I wish you love. My breaking heart and I agree That you and I could never be, So with my best, my very best, I set you free. I wish you shelter from the storm, A cozy fire to keep you warm But most of all, when showflakes fall, I wish you love.

Said I, many times, love is illusion,
A feeling result of confusion.
With knowing smile, and blazing sigh,
A cynical so-and-so was i.

I felt so sure, so positive,
So utterly, unchangingly certain.
But I never was aware of love and you,

And suddenly I realized
There was love and you,
And I, and i.

In this world of ordinary people
Extraordinary people
I'm glad there is you

In this world of over-rated pleasures
Of under-rated treasures
I'm so glad there is you

I live to love, I love to live with you beside me
This role so new, I'll muddle through with you to guide me

In this world where many, many play at love
And hardly any stay in love
I'm glad there is you

In this world where many, many play at love
And hardly any stay in love
I'm glad there is you

More than ever, I'm glad there is you

And hardly any stay in love
I'm glad there is you

In this world where many, many play at love
And hardly any stay in love
I'm glad there is you

More than ever, I'm glad there is you

I've got love on my mind

I've got love on my mind

I've got love on my mind

And there's nothing particularly wrong

It's a feeling I feel inside

When I woke up early this morning

It was staring me straight in my eyes

I've got love (love) on my mind (ooh)

I've got love (love) on my mind (ooh)

I've got love (love) on my mind (ooh)

When you touch me I can't resist

And you've touched me a thousand times

When I think of your tender kiss, ah

Then and there I start to unwind, ooh, in your arms

I like to be, yeah, caressing you gentle

And tenderly, oh, yeah, from sunrise to sunset

All through the day, I've been waiting for your return

And you know this is where I'll be

I can say to the world I've learned only you can satisfy me

Satisfy me, oh, you have made me so very happy

Better face the facts, ol' buddy
And be prepared to take the blow
You don't have to sit and study
It's something anyone should know

Shake hands
Get your hat
And go

You can praise her eyes
And adore her hair
But, if love ain't there
It ain't there

And you can walk her home
In the warm spring air
But, if love ain't there
It ain't there

And you can look with a longing in your look
And try every method in the book
And worship the smile that kind of
Took you unaware

And you can weep and sigh, you can say, "Unfair"
You can almost die of despair
But, if love ain't there
It ain't there

If you could see me now you'd know how blue I've been
One look is all you need to see the mood I'm in
Perhaps when you'd realize I'm still in love with you

If you could see me now you'd find me being raised
And trying offly hard to make my tears behave
But that's quite impossible, I'm still in love with you

You happened my way on some memorable day
A month will be made for a while
I'll try to smile but can I play the part without my heart

Behind the smile, the way I feel for you I never could disguise
The look of love is written plainly in my eyes
I think you'd be mine again if you could see the way you captured me
I'm yours eternally, if you could see now

ya yeh ya, heyey ya, oh woh woh woh woh, ah ah ah ahh

say goodbye to all of your friends
and the people we knew
its better that it comes from you
tell them what you want
cause I tried so hard to make you happy
no big star dreams, no things that seem
to make up your life
so I'm going back to new york city
where people live

in my reality
all of my life
yours was no good for me
need to feel the beat
of the street, in my life
in my reality
back to my life
yours was no good for me
3000 miles away
and everydays a new day

all those dreams that pulled us apart
and the things that you want
they'll never be enough for you
so I'll say goodbye
and I'm going back to new york city
where people live

in my reality
back to my life
yours was no good for me
need to feel the beat
of the street
in my life
back to my old address
nobody to impress
3000 miles away
and everydays a new day ya

I guess my love was not enough for you
so I'll say goodbye baby
and I'm going back to new york city
there people live

in my reality
all of my life
yours was no good for me
i need to feel the heat of the street
in my life
goodbye to hollywood
didn't do me any good
3000 miles away
where everyday is a brand new day, ay yah yah yah

soooo go on and say goodbye to all your friends
and the people we new ew ew

Inseparable, that’s how we’ll always be, Inseparable, just you and me

It’s so wonderful to know you’ll always be around me

Incredible, what you are to me, Incredible, you bring out the woman in me

With your style of love, inseparable, yes, we are

We’re like a flower to tree, like words to a melody of love

There’s no way we can break up, No words that can make us blow our thing

We’re just inseparable, that’s how it is, Inseparable for the rest of our years

It’s so wonderful to know you’ll always be around

Inseparable, that's how we'll always be, Inseparable, just you and me

It's so wonderful to know you'll always be around me

Incredible, what you are to me, Incredible, you bring out the woman in me

With your style of love, inseparable, yes, we are

We're like a flower to tree, like words to a melody of love

There's no way we can break up, No words that can make us blow our thing

We're just inseparable, that's how it is, Inseparable for the rest of our years

It's so wonderful to know you'll always be around

It's the wrong time
And the wrong place
Though your face
Is charming
It's the wrong face
It's not her face
But such
A charming face
That it's
All right with me

It's the wrong song
In the wrong style
Though your smile
Is lovely
It's the wrong smile
It's not her smile
But such
A lovely smile
That it's
All right with me

You can't know
How happy
I am that we met
I'm strangely
Attracted to you
There's someone
I'm trying
So hard to forget
Don't you want
To forget someone
Too?

It's the wrong game
With the wrong chips
Though your lips
Are tempting
They're the wrong lips
They're not her lips
But they're
Such tempting lips
That if some night
You are free
Then it's all right
Yes
It's
All right with me
