"Best I Could"

"Best I Could"



I can't apologize for the way I feel
Cause I've always been honest with you
I've loved you the best I could
In the only way I knew
And If that's not enough I've got nothin' to say
And I'm not even sure that I would
Somedays it was bad and somedays good
But I've loved you the best I could
I need more... I need someone to hold me tonight
Someone there when I turn out the lights
Just to be here with me
I need more...
I need more than you somehow
I need more than your time will allow
I want you as my friend
Why can't you be that now?
You say you need me, then you'd be gone
The times I needed you
Then you'd hold me and say you're sorry
But what else could you do?
Yet I know you really loved me
So it's hard to let go like I should
Let's forget the bad
Remember the good
Cause you loved me the best you could
But I need more
I need someone to hold me tonight
Someone there when I turn out the light
Just to be here with me
I need more, I need more than you somehow
I need more than your time will allow
Remember the times that were good
We both loved the best we could

"Bewitched (Bothered And Bewildered)"

"Bewitched (Bothered And Bewildered)"



I'm wild again, beguiled again
A simpering, whimpering child again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I...
Hmm...
Could not sleep, would not sleep
'Til love came and told me I should not sleep
Bothered and bewildered am I...
Lost my heart, so what of it?
He was cold, I agree,
He can laugh and I love it
Although the laugh's on me.
I'll sing to him, each spring to him
And long for the day when I'll cling to him,
Bewitched, bothered so bewildered am I...

"Blind Date"

"Blind Date"


[Fanny & chorus:]
Smooth the sofa, plump the pillows
Dump the ashtrays, oh this dress
Look at me I am shaking all over,
Shaking all over
I'm a mess
Waiting wondering what I'll be thinking
When he comes walking through that door

What'll come walking through that door
A man I never saw in my life before
Oh,
I am so nervous
I got a blind date waiting to call on me (any minute now)
I got a blind date what am I gonna see (any minute now)
Right over there's the doorway, he will be walking through
Will he be six foot eight or maybe four foot two (it could happen)

I got a blind date waiting to come around (any minute now)
Oy but I'm nervous listen to my heart pound
Why do I need this headache, single is not a crime
I got a blind date
An with my luck he'll be on time

I got a girlfriend Shirley, who says why not (she's an idiot)
This guy is a friend from a friend of a friend she got (hello, how do you do
what an idiot)
One thing I know is Shirley ain't sitting on no shelf
If he was such a vow she'd keep him for herself (it's only natural)
She says she is he's nice and he deals in stocks (sounds good, but she's an
idiot)
I'll bet a buck he looks like month-old lox (also and idiot)
What do I need from Shirley her and her fifty cup
I got a blind date and I'm praying he stands me up

Wait wait, what am I praying he stands me up, I'll stand him up. I smell a rat
anyway. Umm. I'm gonna hide under the bed, he'll never see me, he'll walk in and look
around, I wouldn't be there, he'll go away and that's the end of that.
Perrfect!
Now you keep quiet, not a word you hear
You didn't see a thing
Oeps there he is!
Now quiet everybody sssh quiet!

[Blind date:] Rosalie?!
[Rosalie:] Oi, oi, oi
[Blind date:] Rosalie?! that's odd she doesn't seem to be here
[Rosalie:] Smart, smart!
[Blind date:] I've been stood up, it's news
[Rosalie:] Well it's better than put down
[Blind date:] This has never happened before
[Rosalie:] What and ego!
[Blind date:] Rosalie?!
[Rosalie:] Sh, sh, sh!
[Rosalie:]
It worked, it worked!
He never saw me. Boy am I lucky I didn't see him neither,
but I can just imagine what a lox that one was.

[Rosalie:] I got it right her Shirley was playing tricks
[Voice:] No, no, that's wrong, you got it wrong
[Rosalie:] Wait, wait, what that's not right?
[Voice:] No, he was gorgeous he looked like Rudolph
[Rosalie:] Rudolph who?
[Voice:] Rudolph Valentino
[Rosalie:] Get away
[Voice:] Yeah, the sheik from Arabia
[Rosalie:] Not the phantom from the opera?
[Voice:] Uh, Uh
[Rosalie:] The sheik from where?
[Voice:] The sheik from Arabia
[Rosalie:] Get away
[Voice:] That's right
[Rosalie:] Wait a minute is this person kidding me around here?
[Voice:] No, no absolutely
[Rosalie:] Get away
[Rosalie:] Well that's what happened I let him get away

What will I do now maybe become a nun (That's impossible)
I'm calling Shirley maybe she'll bring a gun
Please Shirley, even if he's Lon Chaney fat, bald or short or tall
Having a blind date is better than having
No date, at no time with no one at all.
Wait a minute maybe I spoke too soon
Shirley get me out of here!
Oh this one is cute.

"But Beautiful"

"But Beautiful"



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 thinkin'
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 thinkin' if you were mine,
I'd never let you go,
And that would be just beautiful I know
Beautiful to take a chance,
And if you fall, you fall
And I'm thinkin'
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 would never let you go!
And that would be so beautiful. . . .
Yes, that would be but beautiful . . .
I know!

"By Myself"

"By Myself"



I'll go my way by myself
It's how the comedy ends
I'll have to deny myself
Love and laughter and friend
I'll try to apply myself
And teach my heart how to sing
I'll go my way by myself
Like a bird on the wing
I'll face the unknown
I'll build the world of my own
No one knows better than I myself
I'm by myself
I'm by myself
I'm by myself
Alone

 

[fox69]

"By The Way"

"By The Way"



By the way did I hear you say?
If some night I seem too lonely
You would stay
Oh and by the way

Have I told you yet that only recently
He moved out on me
Took the towels we stole
From some motel in Tennessee
He was gone long before he really left
I knew it...
By the way he began to say:
Love takes time, I'm in a hurry
Anyway that's all yesterday
Let's get back to us
Why worry if it's right?
Calling by and by
Oh, and by the I thought I mention
You can stay...
Leave the lights
You don't look a thing like he did
And it's time to play
It's another day
Why can't we make love fall
By the way?

"C'est Si Bon (It's So Good)"

"C'est Si Bon (It's So Good)"



C'est si bon
Lovers say that in France
When they thrill to romance
It means that it's so good
C'est si bon
So I say to you
Like the French people do
Because it's oh so good
Every word, every sigh, every kiss, dear,
Leads to only one thought
And the thought is this, dear!
C'est si bon
Nothing else can replace
Just your slyest embrace
And if you only would be my own for the rest my days
I will whisper this phrase
My darling, my darling...
C'est si bon!

"Cabin Fever"

"Cabin Fever"



Church bells were ringing and I heard angels singing
On the day that I said "I do"
He gave me a kiss and I thought wedded bliss
Was a mother-to be's dream come true
The he carried me across the threshold and I heard the front door slam
Cabin fever had just began
Pack his lunch at six-thirty but do not disturb him
Cause he wants to sleep in till eight
If I don't remind him it's time to get up
He tells me it's my fault he's late
Now I clean up the kitchen till noontime
And then I vacuum till a quarter to three
Cabin fever is killing me
At seven he calls up and says "don't cook supper"
When he knows that it's already done
My kids climb the curtains and I climb the walls
He's with the boys having fun
Let me try to get a breath of fresh air
And all I ever get's the third degree, I got to leave here
Cabin fever's killing me
Cabin fever's killing me
I gotta leave here
Cabin fever's killing me

"Calling You"

"Calling You"



A desert road from Vegas to nowhere
Some place better than where you've been
A coffee machine that needs some fixing
In a little cafe just around the bend
I am calling you
(Don't you hear me)
I am calling you
A hot dry wind blows right through me
The baby's crying and I can't sleep
But we both know a change is coming
Coming closer, a sweet release
I am calling you
(I know you hear me?)
I am calling you
I'm gonna walk through the desert to find you
Gone leave behind the only life I know
There's a place for hearts that need fixing
A little cafe with a magic show
I am calling you
(Can't you hear me?)
I am calling you
Desert road from Vegas to nowhere
That coffee machine still needs fixing

"Can't Help Lovin' That Man"

"Can't Help Lovin' That Man"



Oh listen sister,
I love my mister man,
And I can't tell you why
There is no reason why I should love that man,
It must be somethin' that de angels have planned.
Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly,
I gotta love one man till I die.
Can't help lovin' that man of mine.
Tell me he's lazy, tell me he's slow,
Tell me I'm crazy, maybe I know.
Can't help lovin' that man of mine
When he goes away, that's a rainy day,
And when he comes back that day is fine,
The sun will shine!
He can come home as late as can be,
Home without him ain't no home to me,
Can't help lovin' that man of mine.
Can't help lovin' that man of mine.
