Somebody's Baby - Jackson Browne

Well, just look at that girl with the lights comin' up in her eyes
She's got to be somebody's baby
She must be somebody's baby
All the guys on the corner stand back and let her walk on by

She's got to be somebody's baby
She must be somebody's baby
She's got to be somebody's baby
She's so fine ....

She's probably somebody's only light
Gonna shine tonight
Yeah, she's probably somebody's baby, all right

I heard her talkin' with her friend when she thought nobody else was around
She said she's got to be somebody's baby
She must be somebody's baby
'Cause when the cars and the signs and the street lights light up the town

She's got to be somebody's baby
She must be somebody's baby
She's got to be somebody's baby
She's so fine ....

She's gonna be somebody's only light
Gonna shine tonight
Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's baby tonight

I try to shut eyes, but I can't get her out of my sight
I know I'm gonna know her, but I got to get over my fright
Well, I'm just gonna walk up to her
I'm gonna talk to her tonight

Oh, yeah!

Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's only light
Gonna shine tonight
Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's baby tonight

The Spinners - Its a Shame

It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man

It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you hurt me
It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man
I'm sitting all alone by the telephone
Waiting for your call when you don't call at all

It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man
It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you play with my emotions
It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man
You're like a child at play on a sunny day
But you play with love and then you throw it away

Bridge:

Why do you use me try to confuse me
How can you stand to be so cruel
Why don't you free me from this prison
Where I serve my time as your fool

It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man
It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you hurt me
It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man
I try to stay with you show you love so true
But you won't appreciate the love we try to make

Oh, it's-a got to be a shame

[repeat bridge]

Got to be a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man
Ohhh, it's a shame (sha-ame), the way you hurt me
It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man
You've got my heart in chains and I must complain
I just can't be content oh, look at..

Never can say goodbye - Jackson 5

Chorus:
Never can say goodbye
No no no no, I
Never can say goodbye

Even though the pain and heartache
Seems to follow me wherever I go
Though I try and try to hide my feelings
They always seem to show
Then you try to say you're leaving me
And I always have to say no...

Tell me why
Is it so

That I
Never can say goodbye
No no no no, I
Never can say goodbye

Everytime I think I've had enough
I start heading for the door
There's a very strange vibration
piercin me right to the core
It says turn around you fool
You know you love her more and more

Tell me why
(tell me why)
Is it so
(is it so)
Don't wanna let you go!

I can never can say goodbye girl
(never can say goodbye girl)
ou ou baby
(don't wanna let you go girl)
I never can say goodbye
no no no no no no no no no no no

ou! oh!
I never can say goodbye girl
(never can say goodbye girl)
ouuuuuuuu ouuuuuuuuuu
never can say goodbye
no no no no no no no no no no no

(chorus)


I keep thinkin that our problems
Soon are all gonna work out
But there's that same unhappy feeling and there's that anguish, there's that
doubt
It's the same old did ya hang up
Can't do with you or without

Tell me why
Is it so
Don't wanna let you go

[Chorus] (and ad libs)

[Repeat till fade]

Simply Red - Fairground

Driving down an endless road
Taking friends or moving alone
Pleasure at the fairground on the way
Its always friends that feel so good
Lets make amends like all good men should
Pleasure at the fairground on the way

Walk around be free and roam
Theres always someone leaving alone
Pleasure at the fairground on the way

And I love the thought of coming home to you
Even if I know we cant make it
I love the thought of giving hope to you
Just a little ray of light shining through

Love can bend and breathe alone
Until the end it finds you a home
Dont care what the people may say

Its always friends that feel so good
Lets make amends like all good men should
Pleasure at the fairground on the way

And I love the thought of coming home to you
Even if I know we cant make it
I love the thought of giving hope to you
Just a little ray of light shining through

It's not for me to say - Johnny Mathis

It's not for me to say
You'll love me
It's not for me to say
You'll always care
Oh, but here for the moment
I can hold you fast
And press your lips to mine
And dream that love will last
As far as I can see
This is heaven

(Chorus)
And speaking just for me
It's ours to share
Perhaps the glow of love will grow
With every passing day
Or we may never meet again
But then it's not for me to say

(Repeat Chorus)

Van Morrison - Stranded

I’m stranded at the edge of the world
It’s a world I don’t know
Got no where to go
Feels like I’m stranded

And I’m stranded between that ol’
devil and the deep blue sea
And nobody’s gonna tell me, tell me
what, what time it is

Everyday, everyday, it’s hustle,
hustle time, hustle time
Everyday and every way, one more, one more mountain to climb

It’s leaving me stranded
In my own little island
With my eyes open wide
But I’m feeling stranded

Every, every, everyday, it’s hustle time
Every way, one more mountain to climb

I’m stranded between the devil and the deep blue sea
There ain’t no where else to be
‘Cept right here and I’m stranded

Cure — Lovesong

Whenever I’m alone with you
you make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I’m alone with you
you make me feel like I am whole again
Whenever I’m alone with you
you make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I’m alone with you
you make me feel like I am fun again

However far away I will always love you
however long I stay I will always love you
whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you

Whenever I’m alone with you
you make me feel like I am free again
whenever I’m alone with you
you make me feel like I am clean again

However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you
