Heal the Pain

Written by George Michael
Performed by George Michael

Let me tell you a secret
Put it in your heart and keep it
Something that I want you to know
Do something for me
Listen to my simple story
And maybe we'll have something to show

You tell me you're cold on the inside
How can the outside world
Be a place that your heart can embrace
Be good to yourself
'Cause nobody else
Has the power to make you happy

How can I help you?
Please let me try to
I can heal the pain
That you're feeling inside
Whenever you want me
You know that I will be
Waiting for the day
That you say you'll be mine

He must have really hurt you
To make you say the things that you do
He must have really hurt you
To make those pretty eyes look so blue

He must have known
That he could
That you'd never leave him
Now you can't see my love is good
And that I'm not him

How can I help you?
Please let me try to
I can heal the pain
Don't you let me inside?
Whenever you want me
You know that I will be
Waiting for the day
That you say you'll be mine

Won't you let me in
Let this love begin
Won't you show me your heart now
I'll be good to you
I can make this thing true
Show me that heart right now

Who needs a lover
That can't be a friend
Something tells me I'm the one you've been looking for
Oh, if you ever should see him again
Won't you tell him you've found someone who gives you more
Someone who will protect you
Love and respect you
All those things
That he never could bring to you
Like I do
Or rather I would
Won't you show me your heart
Like you should

How can I help you?
Please let me try to
I can heal the pain
That you're feeling inside?
Whenever you want me
You know that I will be
Waiting for the day
That you say you'll be mine

Won't you let me in
Let this love begin
Won't you show me your heart now
I'll be good to you
I can make this thing true
And get to your heart somehow

Splish-splash, I was taking a bath
Long about a Saturday night, yeah
Rub dub, just relaxin' in the tub
Thinkin' everything was alright

Well, I stepped out the tub, put my feet on the floor
I wrapped the towel 'round me, and I opened the door
And then a splish-splash, I jumped back in the bath
Well, how was I to know there was a party going on?

They was a-splishin' and a-splashin', reelin' with the feelin'
Movin' and a-groovin', rockin' and a-rollin', yeah

Dancin' on my living room rug, yeah
Flip flop, they was doing the bop
All the teens had the dancin' bug

There was Lollipop with-a Peggy Sue
Good golly, Miss Molly was-a even there, too
A-well-a, splish splash, forgot about the bath
I went and put my dancin' shoes on, yeah

I was a rollin' and a-strollin', reelin' with the feelin'
Movin' and a-groovin', splishin' and a-splashin', yeah

Yes, I was a-splishin' and a-splashin'
I was a-rollin' and a-strollin'
Hey, I was a-movin' and a-groovin'
Whoo, we was a-reelin' with the feelin', huh
It was a-rollin' and a-strollin', movin' with the groovin'
Splish-splash, yeah

I was a-splishin' and a-splashin', huh
Yeah-yeah-yeah

Endless Love

Written by Lionel B. Richie, Jr. 
Performed by DIana Ross and Lionel Richie

My love
There's only you in my life
The only thing that's right
My first love
You're every breath that I take
You're every step I make

And I
I want to share
All my love with you
No one else will do
And your eyes
They tell me how much you care
Oh yes, you will always be
My endless love

Two hearts
Two hearts that beat as one
Our lives have just begun
Forever
I'll hold you close in my arms
I can't resist your charms

And love
I'll be a fool for you, I'm sure
You know I don't mind
I don't mind
'Cause you
You mean the world to me
Oh, I know
I've found in you
My endless love

Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah

Ooh, ooh, ooh, and love
I'll be a fool for you, I'm sure
You know I don't mind
I don't mind
And, yes, you'll be the only one
'Cause no one can deny
This love I have inside
I'll give it all to you
My love, my love
My endless love

Love, my endless love
Oh, oh, oh my
My, my, my, my endless love
Ooh, ooh, my, my, my
My love

My endless love

A Whiter Shade of Pale

Written by Keith Reid and Gary Brooker
Performed by Procol Harum

We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray

And so it was later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

She said, "There is no reason
And the truth is plain to see"
But I wandered through my playing cards
Would not let her be
One of 16 vestal virgins
We're leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might have just as well been closed

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

And so it was later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

Don't Take the Girl

Written by Larry Johnson and Craig M. Martin
Performed by Tim McGraw

Johnny's daddy was takin' him fishin'
When he was eight years old
A little girl came through the front gate
Holdin' a fishin' pole
His dad looked down and smiled
Said, "We can't leave her behind
Son, I know you don't want her to go
But someday you'll change your mind"

And Johnny said

Take Jimmy Johnson, take Tommy Thompson
Take my best friend, Bo
Take anybody that you want as
Long as she don't go
Take any boy in the world
Daddy, please, don't take the girl

Same old boy, same sweet girl
Ten years down the road
He held her tight and kissed her lips in
Front of the picture show
Stranger came and pulled a gun
Grabbed her by the arm
Said, "If you do what I tell you to, there
Won't be any harm"

And Johnny said

Take my money, take my wallet
Take my credit cards
Here's the watch that my grandpa gave me
Here's the key to my car
Mister, give it a whirl
But, please, don't take the girl

Same old boy, same sweet girl
Five years down the road
There's gonna be a little one and she
Says, "It's time to go"
Doctor says, "The baby's fine
But you'll have to leave
'Cause his momma's fadin' fast" and
Johnny hit his knees

And there he prayed

Take the very breath you gave me
Take the heart from my chest
I'll gladly take her place if you'll let me
Make this my last request
Take me out of this world
God, please, don't take the girl

Johnny's daddy was takin' him fishin'
When he was eight years old

Highwire

Written by Colin Hay
Performed by Men at Work

Feel so washed up today
Haven't really got much to say

Blood on the pillow of my bed
Explains the pain that's in my head

Sometimes I don't know which way to go
Sometimes I can't tell, but it's just as well
''cause I'm walking on a high wire
High wire

Oh won't someone let me in
I'm stinking and I'm full of gin
No need to close the door so fast
I'm very fragile not built to last

Sometimes I don't know which way to go
Sometimes I can't tell
But it's just as well
''cause I'm walking on a high wire
Diving through the ring of fire
High wire

Have to pull it together
We're in for some stormy weather
Have to pull it together
We're in for some nasty weather
High wire, high wire

It really isn't too much fun
Sitting round waiting for the night to come
It's almost time to put on my suit of cool
I may be an idiot but indeed I am no fool

Sometimes I don't know which way to go
Sometimes I can't tell but it's just as well
'Cause I'm walking on a high wire

Dancing on the Ceiling

Written by Carlos Manuel Rios, Lionel Richie, Jr. and Michael H. Frenchick, Jr.
Performed by Lionel Richie

Man, what in the world is happening down here in the hall?
I wouldn't have a clue, let's go check this thing out

Woo!

What is happening here?
Something's going on that's not quite clear
Somebody turn on the lights
We're gonna have a party, it's starting tonight

Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling

The room is hot and that's good
Some of my friends came by from the neighborhood
The people startin' a-climb the walls
Ooh, it looks like everybody is having a ball

Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling

Oh, oh what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling

Come on!

Woo!
Alright

Everybody starts to lose control when the music is right
If you see somebody hangin' around don't get up-tight
The only thing we wanna do tonight
Is go 'round and 'round and turn upside down

Come on let's get down!
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)

So come on, let's get loose
Don't hold back 'cause ain't no use
Hard to keep your feet on the ground
'Cause when we like to party we only wanna get down

Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling

Oh, what a feeling, baby
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling

Say what?
Can't stop now
Just getting started
Everybody clap your hands
Come on
Everybody let's dance

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Baby, baby
Oh, we gonna dance all night

Dancing in the Dark

Written by Bruce Springsteen
Performed by Bruce Springsteen

I get up in the evenin'
And I ain't got nothin' to say
I come home in the mornin'
I go to bed feelin' the same way
I ain't nothin' but tired
Man, I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there, baby, I could use just a little help

You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark

Messages keeps gettin' clearer
Radio's on and I'm movin' 'round my place
I check my look in the mirror
Wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man, I ain't gettin' nowhere
I'm just livin' in a dump like this
There's somethin' happenin' somewhere
Baby, I just know that there is

You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark

You sit around gettin' older
There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
I'll shake this world off my shoulders
Come on, baby, the laugh's on me

Stay on the streets of this town
And they'll be carvin' you up alright
They say you gotta stay hungry
Hey baby, I'm just about starvin' tonight
I'm dyin' for some action
I'm sick of sittin' 'round here tryin' to write this book
I need a love reaction
Come on now, baby, gimme just one look

You can't start a fire
Sittin' 'round cryin' over a broken heart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
You can't start a fire
Worryin' about your little world fallin' apart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Hey baby

Manic Monday

Written by Prince Rogers Nelson
Performed by The Bangles


Six o'clock already
I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin' Valentino
By a crystal blue Italian stream

But I can't be late
'Cause then I guess I just won't get paid
These are the days
When you wish your bed was already made

Chorus:
It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
My I-don't-have-to-run day
It's just another manic Monday

Have to catch an early train
Got to be to work by nine
And if I had an aeroplane
I still couldn't make it on time

'Cause it takes me so long
Just to figure out what I'm gonna wear
Blame it on the train
When the bus is already there

Chorus

All of the nights
Why did my lover have to pick last night
To get down
Doesn't it matter
That I have to feed the both of us
Employment's down
He tells me in his bedroom voice
C'mon honey, let's go make some noise
Time it goes so fast
When you're having fun
