"I Get Along Without You Very Well"

"I Get Along Without You Very Well"



I get along without you very well
Of course I do
Except when the soft rains fall
And drip from the leaves, then I recall
The thrill of being sheltered in your arms
Of course I do
But I get along without you very well

I've forgotten you just like I should
Of course I have
Except to hear your name
Or someone's laugh that is just the same
But I've forgotten you just like I should

What a guy
What a fool I am
To think my breaking heart could kid the moon
What's in store
Should I phone once more
No it's best that I stick to my tune

I get along without you very well
Of course I do
Except perhaps in Spring
But I should never think of Spring
For that would surely break my heart in two

"I Got It Bad And That Ain't Good"

"I Got It Bad And That Ain't Good"



Though folks with good intentions
Tell me to save my tears
Well I'm so mad about him
I can't live without him.....

Never treats me sweet and gentle
The way he should
I've got it bad
And that ain't good
My poor heart is sentimental
not made of wood
Oh, I

"I Only Have Eyes For You"

"I Only Have Eyes For You"



My love must be a kind of blind love
I can't see anyone but you
And dear, I wonder if you find love
An optical illusion, too?

Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
'Cause I only have eyes for you, dear
The moon may be high
But I can't see a thing in the sky
'Cause I only have eyes for you.

I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And I only have eyes for you

"I'd Rather It Was You"

"I'd Rather It Was You"


Tonight the sun went down in flames
And the moon rose up in blue
Heaven spoke and called my name
But I'd rather it was you
I'd rather it was you

[Chorus:]
I'd rather it was you to hold me like the child
That I never was
I'd like for you to carry me across
I'd rather it was you
Because.....

I'd rather it was you to hold me like the girl
That I've never been
I'd like to feel your breath upon my skin
I'd like to feel it finally beginning....

[Chorus]

One will fit just like a glove
Two will feel like brand new
But you are all these things and more
And I'd rather it was you
I'd rather it was you

"I'll Be Around"

"I'll Be Around"



I'll be around
No matter how you treat me now
I'll be around
When she's gone
Your latest love
Will never last
And when it's past
I'll be around when she's gone

Goodbye again
And if you find a love like mine
Just now and then
Drop a line to say (that) you're feeling fine

And when things go wrong
Perhaps you'll see you're meant for me
And I'll be around when she's gone

I'll be around
When she's gone

"I'll Be Home For Christmas"

"I'll Be Home For Christmas"



I'll be home for Christmas
You can plan on me
Please have snow
And mistletoe
And presents 'neath the tree
Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams

"I'm A Fool To Want You"

"I'm A Fool To Want You"



I'm a fool to want you, I'm a fool to want you
To want a love that can't be true, a love that's there for others too
I'm a fool to hold you, such a fool to hold you
To seek a kiss not mine alone, to share a kiss the devil has known

Time and time again I said I'd leave you
Time and time again I went away
And then would come a time when I would need you
And once again these words I'd have to say

Take me back, I love you, pity me, I need you
I know it's wrong, it must be wrong
But right or wrong I can't get along without you
hmmmm, I'm a fool to want you
You hurt me time and time again
But I still love you babe
I'm a fool, I'm your fool

"I'm Really The Kind"

"I'm Really The Kind"


I'm really the kind to dazzle and twirl
Have tantrums like silver slanting rain
Walk up to strangers
Parade with my pride
And stride like a lion up
A mad mountainside
So steep, so lovely
Don't think about the fall

Then suddenly, no warning
No nothing, I`m small
I'm small
Smaller than anyone, smaller than you

You see, I'm really the kind
To cower in the corner
And pray that some guy
Will have a kind word to say

Then be tiny in his arms
And be stroked to my heart
And coaxed and caressed
And combed and undressed
Then finally I'll trust him
Abandon it all

Then suddenly, no warning
No nothing, I`m too tall
I'm tall, taller than anyone
Taller than boys
I'm tall, taller than anyone
Taller than you

The pendulum swings both ways
And I lose my equilibrium
I swing so fast inside it's motion
That I become the hum
I become the hum

You see I'm really the kind
To walk the avenues
And criticize the mannequins
And ogle the jewels

Justify spending the cash
I don't have
Break resolutions
With a naughty little laugh

I'm nothing unless
I'm the belle of the ball
And then suddenly
No warning, no nothing
I've got it all, I see it all
I have it all, I have it all
It is, it is, it is, it is

It is, my soul, my soul

"I'm So Excited"
(feat. The Pointer Sisters)

"I'm So Excited"
(feat. The Pointer Sisters)



Tonight's the night we're gonna make it happen
Tonight we'll put all other things aside
Get in this time and show me some affection
We're goin' for those pleasures in the night

I want to love you, feel you, wrap myself around you
I want to squeeze you, please you, I just can't get enough
And if you move real slow I let it go

I'm so excited and I just can't hide it
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it
I'm so excited and I just can't hide it
And I know I know I know I know I know I want you

We shouldn't even think about tomorrow
Sweet memories will last for long long time
We'll have a good time, Baby, don't do worry
And if we're still playin' around boy that's just fine

Let's get excited, we just can't hide it
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it
I'm so excited and I just can't hide it
I know I know I know I know I know I want you, I want you

I want to love you, feel you, wrap myself around you
I want to squeeze you, please you, I just can't get enough
And if you move real slow I let it go

I'm so excited, I just can't hide it
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it
I'm so excited and I just can't hide it
I know I know I know I know I know I want you

"I've Got To Have You"

"I've Got To Have You"



You came smilin' softly, shyly movin'
Easy as a dreamer into my room.
And before I realized the danger
I found myself looking into your eyes.
Somewhere in their colours I saw promises
Of things I'd never seen before
It's all over...I've got to have you.

Holding onto, talking, saying nothing.
Knowing in a moment I could lose you.
Then without a warning I remembered that
You trembled at the touch of my hand.
Knowing when you came to me that no one else
Would ever feel the same in my arms
It's all over...I've got to have you.

Wakin' in the morning to the tenderness
Of holding you asleep in my arms.
Dreaming while my hair was blowing
Softer than a whisper on my cheek.
I don't know the feeling so I don't know if it's love
But it's enough...It's enough
I can't help it...I've got to have you.
It's all over...I've got to have you.
