Baby I'm-a Want You

Written by David Gates
Performed by Bread

Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you
You're the only one I care enough to hurt about
Maybe I'm-a crazy, but I just can't live without
Your lovin' and affection, givin' me direction
Like a guiding light to help me through my darkest hour

Lately, I'm a prayin'
That you'll always be here stayin' beside me

Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Feeling all the while and never really knowing why

Lately, I'm-a prayin'
That you'll always be here stayin' beside me

Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Then you came along and made me laugh and made me cry
You taught me why

Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you

Ooh, it took so long to find you, baby
Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you

Some Like it Hot

Written by Barry Palmer, Charlotte Thorpe and Josephine Ellen De Sousa-Reay
Performed by The Power Station

We want to multiply, are you gonna do it
I know you're qualified, are you gonna do it
Don't be so circumscribed, are you gonna do it
Just get yourself untied, are you gonna do it

Feel the heat pushing you to decide
Feel the heat burning you up, ready or not

Some like it hot and some sweat when the heat is on
Some feel the heat and decide that they can't go on
Some like it hot, but you can't tell how hot 'til you try
Some like it hot, so let's turn up the heat 'til we fry

The girl is at your side, are you gonna do it
She wants to be your bride, are you gonna do it
She wants to multiply, are you gonna do it
I know you won't be satisfied until you do it

Feel the heat pushing you to decide
Feel the heat burning you up, ready or not

Some like it hot and some sweat when the heat is on
Some like it hot, some like it hot

Feel the heat pushing you to decide
Feel the heat burning you up, ready or not

Some like it hot and some sweat when the heat is on
Some feel the heat and decide that they can't go on
Some like it hot, but you can't tell how hot 'til you try
Some like it hot, so let's turn up the heat 'til we fry

Some like it hot, some like it hot
Some like it hot, some like it hot

Hazy Shade of Winter

Written by Paul Simon
Performed by Simon and Garfunkel

… Time, time time, see what's become of me
While I looked around for my possibilities

… I was so hard to please
Don't look around
The leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

… Hear the Salvation Army band
Down by the riverside's, there's bound to be a better ride
Than what you've got planned

… Carry your cup in your hand
And look around
Leaves are brown, now
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

… Hang on to your hopes, my friend
That's an easy thing to say
But if your hopes should pass away
Simply pretend that you can build them again
Look around
The grass is high
The fields are ripe
It's the springtime of my life

… Seasons change with the scenery
Weaving time in a tapestry
Won't you stop and remember me
At any convenient time?
Funny how my memory skips while looking over manuscripts
Of unpublished rhyme
Drinking my vodka and lime
I look around
Leaves are brown, now
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
Look around
Leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground
Look around
Leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground
Look around
Leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground

If Tomorrow Never Comes

Written by Garth Brooks and Kent Blazy
Performed by Garth Brooks


Sometimes late at night
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
She's lost in peaceful dreams
So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark
And the thought crosses my mind
If I never wake up in the morning
Would she ever doubt
The way I feel about her in my heart

If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face this world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes

'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life
Who never knew how much I loved them
Now I live with the regret
That my true feelings for them never were revealed
So I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much she means to me
And avoid that circumstance
Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel

'Cause if tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face this world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes

So tell that someone that you love
Just what you're thinking of
If tomorrow never comes

I'll Come Back As Another Woman

Written by Kent Robbins and Richard Carpenter
Performed by Tanya Tucker

You never gave me back the love I gave to you
You just gave me half your heart and that half was untrue
So I'll leave you with a promise from a heart that's heard enough
Someday you'll find out that you can't escape my love

I'll come back as another woman
One with all the secrets to your heart
I'll come back as another woman
And I'll be the one you burn for
That you reach for in the dark
I'll be the one who breaks your devil heart

Some day you'll wake up with your arms around a dream
Love that she will make to you will be too good to believe
You'll say, "I love you, " and for once it will be true
You'll fall too fast to realize who you're talking to

You'll give your heart and soul, she'll be the only one
You'll be hers completely, there'll be no way you can run
Then with a smile she'll break your loving heart in two
And baby, you'll recall the one who said these words to you

I'll come back as another woman
One with all the secrets to your heart
I'll come back as another woman (another woman)
And I'll be the one you burn for
That you reach for in the dark
I'll be the one who breaks your devil heart

You'll hear the echo of my promise (ha, ha, ha)
How you laughed and how I cried
The one you finally give your heart to (ha, ha, ha)
Will leave you crying in the night

I'll come back as another woman
One with all the secrets to your heart
I'll come back as another woman
I'll be the one you burn for
That you reach for in the dark
I'll be the one who breaks your devil heart

I'll come back
I'll come back
As another woman (another woman)
You got a devil heat (I'll come back, another woman)
I'll come back as another woman, woman, wowan (I'll come back, another woman)

Drivin' My Life Away

Written by David Malloy, Eddie Rabbitt and Even Stevens
Performed by Eddie Rabbitt

Well the midnight headlights blind you on a rainy night
Steep grade up ahead, slow me down, makin' no time,
But I got to keep rollin'
Those windshield wipers slappin' out a tempo,
Keepin' perfect rhythm with the song on the radio,
But I got to keep rollin'

Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away, lookin' for a better way for me
Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away, lookin' for a sunny day

Well the truck stop cutie comin' on to me,
Tried to talk me into a ride
Said I wouldn't be sorry
But she was just a baby
Hey, waitress, pour me another cup of coffee,
Pop it down, jack me up, shoot me out, flyin' down the highway,
Lookin' for the mornin'

Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away, lookin' for a better way for me
Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away, lookin' for a sunny day

Well the midnight headlights blind you on a rainy night
Steep grade up ahead, slow me down, makin' no time,
But I got to keep rollin'
Those windshield wipers slappin' out a tempo,
Keepin' perfect rhythm with the song on the radio,
But I got to keep rollin'

Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away, lookin' for a better way for me
Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away, lookin' for a sunny day

Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away, lookin' for a better way for me
Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away, lookin' for a sunny day, yeah

Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away, lookin' for a better way for me

Why'd You Come In Here Lookin' Like That

Written by Randy Thomas and Robert Carlisle
Performed by Dolly Parton

Why'd you come in here lookin' like that
In your cowboy boots and your painted on jeans
All decked out like a cowgirl's dream
Why'd you come in here looking like that

Here comes my baby
Draggin' my heart behind
He's drivin' me crazy
Who says love is blind
He's got a wanderin' eye and a travelin' mind
Big ideas and a little behind
Out with a different woman every night
But I remember when he was mine

Why'd you come in here lookin' like that
In your high heel boots and your painted on jeans
All decked out like a cowgirl's dream
Waltzing right in here lookin' like that
Why'd you come in here lookin' like that
When you could stop traffic in a gunny sack
Why you're almost givin' me a heart attack
When you waltz right in here lookin' like that

I just can't stand it
To see him on the town
He's out slow dancing
With every girl around
I'm a softhearted woman he's a hardheaded man
And he's gonna make me feel just as bad as he can
He's got himself a mean streak a half a mile wide
Now he's dancing on this heart of mine

Ooh, Why'd you come in here lookin' like that
In your high heel boots and your painted on jeans
All decked out like a cowgirl's dream
Why'd you come in here lookin' like that

Why'd you come in here lookin' like that
In your cowboy boots and your painted on jeans
All decked out like a cowgirl's dream
Why'd you come in here lookin' like that

Why'd you come in here lookin' like that
When you could stop traffic in a gunny sack
Why you're almost givin' me a heart attack
When you waltz right in here lookin' like that
Why'd you come in here lookin' like that
Why'd you come in here lookin' like that

Mama He's Crazy

Written by Kenny O'Dell
Performed by The Judds

Mama, I found someone
Like you said would come along
He's a sight and so unlike
Any man I've known

I was afraid to let him in
'Cause I'm not the trustin' kind
But now I'm convinced that he's heaven sent
And must be out of his mind

Mama, he's crazy, crazy over me
And in my life is where he says
He always wants to be

I've never been so in love
He beats all I've ever seen
And mama, he's crazy, he's crazy over me

And mama, you've always said
You better look before you leap
But maybe so, but here I go
Lettin' my heart lead me

He thinks I hung the moon and stars
I think he's a livin' dream
Well, there are men, but ones like him
Are few and far between

Mama, he's crazy, crazy over me
And in my life is where he says
He always wants to be

I've never been so in love
He beats all I've ever seen
Mama, he's crazy, he's crazy over me
Oh mama, he's crazy, he's crazy over me

That's the Way Love Goes

Written by Lefty Frizzell and Sanger Shafer
Performed by Merle Haggard

I've been throwing horseshoes
Over my left shoulder
I've spent most all my life
Searching for that four-leaf clover

Yet you ran with me
Chasing my rainbows
Honey, I love you too
That's the way love goes

That's the way love goes, babe
That's the music God made
For all the world to sing
It's never old, it grows
Losing makes me sorry
You say, "Honey, now don't worry
Don't you know I love you too?"
And that's the way love goes

That's the way love goes, babe
That's the music God made
For all the world to sing
It's never old, it grows
Losing makes me sorry
And you say, "Honey, don't worry
Don't you know I love you too?"
And that's the way love goes
