"Save Up All Your Tears"

"Save Up All Your Tears"


I can't figure you out
But a heart must be the one thing
You were born without
I've been wastin' my time
I don't know where I'll sleep tonight

You say that you can do without me
Go ahead now try and live without me

Baby save up all your tears
You might need them someday
When the tears start to fall
I won't wipe them away
When you cry in the night
For the love that you need
Baby save up your tears
'Cause you'll be cryin' over me

You got used to my touch
I got used to not, not feelin' much
Winter set in your eyes
Time will melt your castle of ice

You think that you won't feel the pain now
But your eyes will be cryin' like the rain now

Baby save up all your tears
You might need them someday
When the tears start to fall
I won't wipe them away
When you cry in the night
For the love that you need
Baby save up your tears
'Cause you'll be cryin' over me
You'll be cryin' over me

You don't know it now, you don't know it now
You don't know it now, you don't know it now
You don't know it now
But some wounds get deeper with time
You don't feel it now
Till the need burns, a knife turns
Your heart bleeds like mine

Baby save up all your tears
You might need them someday
When the tears start to fall
I won't wipe them away
When you cry in the night
For the love that you need
Baby save up your tears
'Cause you'll be cryin' over me

Baby save up all your tears
You might need them someday
When the tears start to fall
I won't wipe them away
When you cry in the night
For the love that you need
Baby save up your tears
'Cause you'll be cryin' over me

You'll be cryin' over me
'Cause you'll be cryin' over me
You'll be cryin' over me
(You'll be cryin' over me)
(You don't know it now)
(You don't know it now)
(You don't know it now)

You'll be cryin' over me
(You don't know it now)
(You'll be cryin' over me)
(You don't feel it now)
(You don't feel it now)
You don't feel it now
You'll be cryin' over me
(You don't know it now)
(You don't know it now)
(You don't know it now)

"Say The Word"

"Say The Word"


The moon hangs like the blade of an axe tonight,
and it's poised to drop sometime soon enough
on this dump truck where I lie mixed up with the morning's trash.
There's a piece of glass sticking in my back and tar covering my mouth.
But it's okay cause I'm still breathing and my hands are free of the heap.
And I think that I see that big blade falling.
And I think that I see that big blade coming.
And the pressure is getting to me and the waste in which
I sit is just lurking beside me.
And I can't tell if it's me or the meat that's rotting.
I'm gonna have to give up sometime soon.
But it's okay cause I'm still breathing and my hands are free of the heap.
And I think that I see that big blade falling.
And I think that I see that big blade coming.
You can watch me disappear.
You can watch me.
All I'm losing is me.
And I think that I see that big blade falling.
And I think that I see that big blade coming to slice open a great canyon
through the earth so you can watch me disappear.

"Say What's On Your Mind"

"Say What's On Your Mind"


Baby ain't been coming around no
As much as he used to
If there's something going down
That I better know
Cause I don't wanna lose him
Must have something to tell me
I'm not sure I wanna know
Sooner or later
That it's one thing I'll have to know

Say what's on your mind
Tell me whatcha you got
Baby do you want me or not
Don't be so unkind
By putting me on the spot
Baby do you want me or not

Now I'm coming on over
Just to talk to you face to face
I may not be sober
But who in this case
Don't you think I got the right to know
If your loving is true
I don't mean to spook or excite you
What should I do

Say what's on your mind
Tell me whatcha you got
Baby do you want me or not
Don't be so unkind
By putting me on the spot
Baby do you want me or not

What's come over you
What in the world
Are you trying to do to me baby
Feel something, say something baby
We're taking about

Say what's on your mind
Tell me whatcha you got
Baby do you want me or not
Don't be so unkind
By putting me on the spot
Baby do you want me or not

Say what's on your mind
Tell me whatcha you got
Baby do you want me or not
Don't be so unkind
By putting me on the spot
Baby do you want me or not

"Send The Man Over"

"Send The Man Over"


In a rented room
Above a Hollywood bar with my money gone
The ragged curtains blowing in the window
Lying hungry and alone
With no one to call, not even my folks
For the means to go on

Wondering if I lose my nerve
Or answer the phone
When the desk clerk calls to say
A stranger's on his way
Up the stairs to share my bed
Will I stay or slip away

I know an actress has to make sacrifices
But what a price to pay
And when I called my agent today
The conversation went this way

Send in anyone from Metro or Warners
Leave a call from me
Well then what about Paramount or NBC
You say there's nothing today
Just an interesting gentleman caller
With a burning request
I said send the man over, I guess
With a script and the cash

Just some poor white trash
From a bayou town and a driftwood shack
I was craddled by a Cajun Mama
Deserted by a Cherokee dad

Then at seventeen a Georgia drifter came
And we made it to L.A.
And when I called my agent today
The conversation went this way

Send in anyone from Metro or Warners
Leave a call from me
Well then what about Paramount or NBC
You say there's nothing today
Just an interesting gentleman caller
With a burning request
I said send the man over, I guess
With a script and the cash

Now I hear footsteps out in the hall
Mama's pictures turned to the wall
A young actress must give her all
Pay her dues, play her role

"Shadow Dream Song"

"Shadow Dream Song"


I meant to call her name
I meant to take her hand
I meant to be the same and understand
Just what was happening
In the evening
Between the princess and the prince
Oh yeah

I can't be bothered now
Cannot eat or drink
I can't remember how I used to think
What was that song she sang
In the morning
About the princess and the prince
Yeah, yeah

It's a crystal ringing way
She has about her in the day
She s a laughing dapple shadow
Yes, she's a laughing dapple shadow
In my mind
Mmm hmmmmm yeah

If I could hear her voice
If I could see her face
If I could wish and be most any place
Be where I saw her last
On that evening past
With the princess and the prince
Yeah

The princess and the prince

"Shape Of Things To Come"

"Shape Of Things To Come"


Magic, logic
The system works, but not for me
Look beyond the nearest moment
And you'll see
The shape of things to come

Somewhere deep in the city
I can feel you I know you're here
Baby, I'm just a pussy-cat
But not a one that you should fear

One, two, always love you
One, two, move up above you
Two, two, right in the face
Yes sir, no sir, three bags full so

The shape of things to come
The shape of things to come
Let me get you outta here

Tragic, logic
The system hurts, but not for me
I look beyond the farest moment
And I say

The shape of things to come
The shape of things to come
The shape of things to come
The shape of things to come
The shape of things to come
The shape of things to come
The shape of things to come

Somewhere deep in the system
I can see you but you're not clear
A simple case of error correction
Come on baby, get your ass in gear

One, two, always love you
One, two, move up above you
Two, two, right in the face
Of sir, no sir, three bags full so

The shape of things to come
Let me get your outta here
The shape of things to come
Look into my eyes and I'll make your day
The shape of things to come
Good things, great things, all just same things
The shape of things to come
The shape of things to come

"She Loves To Hear The Music"

"She Loves To Hear The Music"


She's just a secretary
At a small recording firm
When it comes to music
There ain't nothing she can't learn

And everything she lives and breathes
Is written on an album sleeve
She can tell you who's hot
Who will make it and who will not

She loves to hear the music
She's got every lyric down
She loves to hear them say
She's got the greatest ears in town

Hangs around a studio
Ain't a rock star she don't know
Sometimes they take her home
But she always wakes up alone

Men that want to marry her
Never satisfied
In rythms that she hears
All that keeps her high

So they turn around and go
And leave her by her radio
She didn't love 'em anyway
Not like she loves the men who play

She loves to hear the music
She's got every lyric down
She loves to hear them say
She's got the greatest ears in town

She's there at every studio
The first to come, the last to go
Sometimes they take her home
But she always wakes up alone

Years will not be kind to her
Her world is for the young
Bands that played so tightly and knit
Will soon become unstrung

She'll be just another face
Out of town and out of place
When the songs revive again
She'll come to life and tell them when

She loves to hear the music
She's got every lyric down
She loves to hear them say
She's got the greatest ears in town

She could of been somebody's wife
Music men destroyed her life
Each night she took one home
But she always woke up alone

"Shoppin'"

"Shoppin'"


I'm shoppin', gonna buy my blues away
Shoppin', I'm walking up to the counter and say
I want this sweater, I sure feel better
Shoppin', gonna take my troubles to town
Shoppin', you don't need money down
Charge it, wrap it, send it
Shoppin'

Ever since my mother took me to a big department store
My heartbeat escalated all the way to the second floor
I couldn't hide my passion for the latest fashion craze
My mama told me that's just another phase I'm going through
Whatcha got that's new?

Shoppin', gonna buy my blues away
Shoppin', I got bad news today
Instead of eating cause my man's cheating
Shoppin', I'm gonna take my troubles to town
Shoppin', while everyone else is smokin', token', coken'
Well I'll be shoppin'

Hit it, boys

[Spoken in background]
Excuse me Miss,
See that - the dress over there?
How many colors does it come in?
Yes, all right. No, I'd like every one
No, I'm not going to try it
I know it'll fit
Ooh, you know what?
Let's go up... Ohh, they're having a sale
My God, I love sales
No, I don't have a last name
It's just Cher, just plain Cher
Ooh, I like the shoes
Do you think you could... this thing,
It's all pink and wrinkly.. it's...
What a darling little bag

[Back to Singing]
Shoppin', I'm gonna buy it
Shoppin', I never try it on for size
Shoppin, Will I like it
Shoppin', Does the color match my eyes
Folks say I'm daring for what I'm wearing
I'm always scaring the people's staring
So I'm declaring, I'm tired of swearing
I'm just shoppin'

Shoppin', I'm gonna but my blues away
Shoppin', I got bad news today
Shoppin', I'm gonna take my troubles to town
Shoppin', don't need money down
Shoppin', gonna buy my blues away
Shoppin', walking up to the counter and say
I want that sweater, I sure feel better
Shoppin', charge it, wrap it, send it
Shoppin', instead of eating cause my man's cheating
I've been shoppin'
While other people may be smokin', token', coken'
I'll be shoppin'

"Silver Wings & Golden Rings"

"Silver Wings & Golden Rings"


It was Friday night
And both of us were lonely
We seemed to meet as lonely people do
I filled that empty space till Monday morning
I never meant ton fall in love with you
Came right out and told me
About your wife back home in Houston
You were just in town on business
You never tried to lead me on
Time had seemed just fine
Simply love you for the moment
Heaven help me time ran out
Now the moment's gone

Silver wings and golden rings
Are taking you today
And I'll be dying on the ground
While you are flying away
Silver wings and golden rings
Are shinning on and on
While the only love
I've ever known is gone

You made me feel like
I was something special
The way no other man ever done
And I knew last night
Would have to last forever
It's just no way of holding back the sun
And now I guess it's time for me
To drive you to the airport
Hold back all my tears
Tell you it's been nice
If you come back to town again
Know I love to see you
Remember I'm not strong enough
To let go of you twice

"Sing For Your Supper"

"Sing For Your Supper"


Sing for your supper
And you'll get breakfast
Songbirds always eat
If their song is sweet to hear

I say now sing for you lunch
And you'll get dinner
Dine with wine of choice
If romance is in your voice

I heard from a wise canary
Trillin' makes a fellow willin'
So little swallow, swallow now
Now is the time to

Sing for your supper
And you'll get breakfast
Songbirds are not dumb
They never buy a crumb of bread
It's said
So sing and you'll be fed

I heard from a wise canary
Trillin' makes a fellow willin'
So little swallow, swallow now
Now is the time to

Sing for your supper
And you'll get breakfast
Songbirds are not dumb
They never buy a crumb of bread
It's said
So sing and you'll be fed

One more time
I said sing and you'll be fed
Oh yeah
I said sing and you'll be fed
