"I've Got A Crush On You"
(feat. Frank Sinatra)



[Frank:]
I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie
All the day and night-time hear me sigh
I never had the least notion
That I could fall with so much emotion
[Barbra:]
I wonder...Could you coo, now, could you care
For a cozy cottage we could share
The world will pardon my mush
'Cause I have got a crush, my baby, on you
[Barbra:] I've got a crush on you,
[Frank:] I've got a crush on you,
[Barbra:] Sweetie pie
[Frank:] Sweetie pie
[Barbra:] All the day and night-time
[Frank:] All the day and night-time
[Barbra:] Hear me sigh
[Frank:] Hear me sigh
[Both:] I never had the least notion
[Frank:] That I could fall with...
[Barbra:] I'd fall with...
[Frank:] So much...
[Barbra:] So much emotion
[Frank:] So much emotion
Could you coo?
[Barbra:] I could coo!
[Frank:] Could you possibly care?
[Barbra:] I could care!
[Frank:] For a lovely cottage...
[Barbra:] Ooo that cottage
[Both:] That we could share!
The world will pardon my mush
[Frank:] Yes, I have got a crush, my Barbra, on you!
[Barbra:] You will make me blush, Francis!
[Frank:] Yes!
[Both:] I have got a crush, my baby, on you...

"I've Got No Strings"
(feat. From Pinocchio)

"I've Got No Strings"
(feat. From Pinocchio)



I've got no strings to hold me down
To make me fret, or make me frown
I had strings but now I'm free
There are no strings on me
I've got no strings so I have fun
I'm not tied to anyone
How I love my liberty,
There are no strings on me!
Hi-ho the me-ri-o, I'm as happy as can be
I want the world to know nothing ever worries me
I've got no strings to hold me down
To make me fret, or make me frown
I had strings but now I'm free
There are no strings on me
Why does the gay little dicky bird sing?
What put the "zing" in a butterfly's wing?
What's the reason for the smile of a troubadour?
Why does the breeze have a barrel of fun?
Even the bee who's a son of a gun
It's all because they're free
And stringless the same as me
I've got no strings and I'm so glad
No strings at all to make me sad
I had strings but now I'm free,
There are no strings on me
Oh, hi-ho, the way we go
I'm as happy as can be
I want the world to know nothing ever worries me!
I've got no strings so I have fun
I'm not tied up to anyone
How I love my liberty,
There are no strings on me!
No ties to bind me,
It's not easy to find me,
'Cause I've got no strings on me!
Hm-hm-hm!

"I've Never Been A Woman Before"

"I've Never Been A Woman Before"



He touched me in the sun
I somehow knew
I'd been the only one
How wonderful the moment
When the boy became a man
You warmed me in the night
And you taught me
How to feel
But it all would seem unreal to try
And go back there again
We walked away from time
I'd like to keep the moment
That was mine
I'd like to touch the man
I met just once
Before I go
Oh I've been to many places
And I've opened every door
I've done everything a girl could do and more
But I've never been a woman before
No, I've never been a woman before...

"If A Girl Isn't Pretty"

"If A Girl Isn't Pretty"


[FUNNY GIRL is the life of vaudeville comedienne Fanny Brice (1891-1951),
starting in 1910. Actually the show starts after she has become a success
on stage and flashes back to her origins. It opens in Fanny's dressing room.
She is waiting for her husband, Nick Arnstein, to return after being in prison.
She looks back to when she was a 19-year old hopeful. Her mother's poker
buddies think she's wasting her life trying to break into show business.]

[Mrs. Strakosh:]
Fanny, when people pay good money in the the-ay-ter--
especially the male element--they want something to look at!

If a girl isn't pretty
Like a Miss Atlantic City,
All she gets in life
Is pity and a pat.

[Mrs. Brice:]
Is a nose with deviation
Such a crime against the nation?
Should I throw her into jail
Or drown the cat?

[Mrs. Strakosh, O' Malley and Meeker:]
She must shine in ev'ry detail
Like a ring you're buying retail,
Be a standard size that
Fits a standard dress.

[Mrs. Strakosh:]
When a girl's incidentals
Are no bigger than two lentils

[Mrs. Strakosh, O' Malley and Meeker:]
Then to me that doesn't spell success.


Fanny auditions for Keeney's Music Hall but Keeney kicks
her out of the chorus because she doesn't look like the
others. Eddie Ryan, dance director for Keeney, agrees:

[Eddie:]
If a girl isn't pretty
Like a Miss Atlantic City,
She should dump the stage
And try another route.
Any guy who pays a quarter
For a seat just feels he oughter
See a figger that his wife can't
Substitute.

Kid, my heart ain't made of marble
But your rhythm's really horr'ble
And that map of yours just ain't no
Valentine.
Everything you got's about right,
But the damn thing don't come out right
So forget it, kid,
And just resign.

[Chorus:]
If a girl isn't pretty,
If a girl isn't pretty,
If a girl isn't pretty,
If a girl isn't pretty,
If a girl isn't pretty,
She should get a job,
Go get a job--
Get any job
Get a weekly pay,
'Cause if a girl isn't pretty
Like a Miss Atlantic City,
She's a real Miss Nobody, U.S.A.

"If I Could"

"If I Could"



If I Could
I'd protect you from the sadness in your eyes
give you courage in a world of compromise
yes I would
If I could
I would teach you all the things I've never learned
and I'd help you cross the bridges that I've burned
yes I would
if I could
I would try to shield your innocence from time
but the part of life I gave you isn't mine
I've watched you grow
so I could let you go
if I could
I would help you make it through the hungry years
but I know that I can never cry your tears
but I would
if I could
if I live in a time and place where you don't want to be
you don't have to walk along this road with me
my yesterday won't have to be your way
if I knew
how I'd try to change the world I brought you to
and there isn't very much that I can do
but I would
if I could
if I could
I would try to shield your innocence from time
but that part of life I gave you isn't mine
I watched you grow so I could let you go
if, if I could
I would help you make it through those hungry years
but I know that I can never cry your tears
but I would
if I could
yes I would
yes I would
if I could

"If I Didn't Love You"

"If I Didn't Love You"



If I didn't love you
I'd be safe from harm.
I would never find myself
Lost inside your arms.
If I didn't love you
I'd never feel the pain
Of sunny days without you
Drowning in the rain.
If I didn't love you...
If I didn't love you
Peace would rule the day
All the dark and out would surely go away.
If I didn't love you
I wouldn't pay the cost
Of living every endless day
If our love is lost.
If I didn't love you...
If I didn't love you...

And yet you make me breathless
At the way you move
I never knew that I
Could ever love the way we do.
I don't know how you reach me
In that place in my heart
Belonging to only you.

If I didn't love you
I wouldn't lose control
The danger loving brings a word
Never touch my soul.
If I didn't love you
Perhaps I wouldn't die.
If you should ever say to me
"I'm sorry, goodbye."
If I didn't love you...
How can there be music
In the way you touch?
I can't believe that somehow
I believe in you so much.
Now you've come and taught me
How to give you my heart.
And make me feel at last
That the end will never start.
You're the only reason
I'm not afraid to fall.
For if I didn't love you...
If I didn't love you...
I wouldn't love at all.

"If I Love Again"

"If I Love Again"


[Fanny:]
I often wonder why he came to me
Brought such a flame to me
Then let it die
And if another love should find my heart
It will remind my heart of your goodbye
With every new love
You'll come back to me
In other eyes it's you I see
If I love again
Though it's someone new
If I love again
It will still be you
In someone else's firm embrace
I close my eyes but see your face
If I love again
I'll find another charms
But I'll make believe

You are in my arms
And though my lips whisper "love me!"
My heart will not be true
I'll be loving you
Every time I love again...

 

[fox69]

"If I Loved You"

"If I Loved You"



If I loved you,
Time and again I would try to say
All I'd want you to know.
If I loved you,
Words wouldn't come in an easy way
Round in circles I'd go!
Longing to tell you,
But afraid and shy,
I'd let my golden chances pass me by!
Soon you'd leave me,
Off you would go in the mist of day,
Never, never to know...
How I loved you...
If I loved you...

 

[fox69]

"If I Never Met You"

"If I Never Met You"




If I never met you
If I never saw your face
This world, this world would be a colder place, I bet.
If we'd never met...
If I never met you
If I never knew your love
My life, my life might be a sad song of regret.
If we'd never met...

But we said one "Hello."
And look at how the world begins to spin
Look at how the shadows disappear
Now that you are here.

If I never met you
If I never felt your kiss
My days, my nights would not be filled like this, it's true.
I don't know who I'd love
I don't know what I'd do if I never met you.

Just look at how the shadows disappear
Now that you are here.
If I never met you
If I never felt your kiss
My days, my nights would be filled like this, it's true.
I don't know who I'd love
I don't know what I'd do
If I never met you.

I don't know who I'd love
I don't know what I'd do
If I never met you.

"If It's Meant To Be"

"If It's Meant To Be"


Why was there no applause?
It was our best performance
All in our thought last night
Went quite well

We knew all of our lines
And we knew how to say them
Just how to play them
Keeping it light till the tears fell

Though we both knew our story was ending
We were surprised when it came
Some things are just too good to be true
And no one's to blame

So there was no applause
When we brought down the curtain
We were so certain
There wasn't anything left to say

Maybe somehow our hearts knew
What our eyes couldn't see
Love would wait for us someday, someway
If it's meant to be...

[Instrumental interlude]

So there was no applause
Though there were tears and laughter
Then moments after we left the stage
And we closed the play

Maybe somehow our hearts knew
What our eyes couldn't see
Love would wait for us someday, someway
If it's meant to be...
