"I Thought It Took A Little Time (But Today I Fell In Love)"

"I Thought It Took A Little Time (But Today I Fell In Love)"


Am I really hard to please ?
Perhaps I have such special needs
I wondered what was wrong with me
My friends all fall so easily

But today I fell in love with someone I hardly know
Did I make myself imagine that he could love me so ?
'Cause the feeling was so unexpected
I could hardly keep myself collected

I thought it took a little time to learn about lovin'
Never did believe in lovin' on sight
I thought it took a little time to learn about lovin'
All I know is now it's gotta be right

In the midst of conversation he looked into my eyes
And all through the conversation
Much to my own surprise
Half the words he said to me were missin'
'Cause my mind was so intend on kissin'

I thought it took a little time to learn about lovin'
Never did believe in lovin' on sight
I thought it took a little time to learn about lovin'
All I know is now it's gotta be right

Am I really hard to please ?
Perhaps I have such special needs
I wondered what was wrong with me
My friends all fall so easily
But today I fell in love with someone I hardly know
Did I make myself imagine that he could love me so ?
And the feelin' was so deep inside me
I could feel it when he brushed beside me

I thought it took a little time to learn about lovin'
Never did believe in lovin' on sight
I thought it took a little time to learn about lovin'
All I know is now it's gotta be right

"I Thought That We Were Still In Love"

"I Thought That We Were Still In Love"


Last night while we were talking the way that old friends do
I suddenly got lost in my yesterdays with you
I told you that in my heart you would always be the one
That I'd lie waking in the dark, pray that you will come
But I didn't mean to say that
Somehow it just slipped out
I swear that I would take it back
If I could right now
All I ask is you believe
I'd forgotten where I was
With you there so close to me
I thought that we were still in love
Oh I knew just what I'd done when you stood up so fast
And say the friends that we'd become can't hold on to the past
You said it's been a long long time since love came to an end
If I hadn't learned to draw the line, it's useless to pretend
But I didn't mean to say that
Somehow it just slipped out
I swear that I would take it back
If I could right now
All I ask is you believe
I'd forgotten where I was
With you there so close to me
I thought that we were still in love
I don't think I could take goodbye, that much is still the truth
Won't you forgive me just for one night, it's what a friend would do
'Coz I didn't mean to say that
Somehow it just slipped out
I swear that I would take it back
If I could right now
All I ask is you believe
I'd forgotten where I was
With you there so close to me
I thought that we were still in love
Still in love
I thought that we were still in love

"I Want You"
(originally by Marvin Gaye)

"I Want You"
(originally by Marvin Gaye)



[Chorus:]
I want you the right way
I want you, but I want you to want me too,
Want you to want me baby
Just like I want you

Da da, da da, da da da

I'll give you all the love I want in return
But half a love is all I feel, sweet darling
It's too bad, it's just too sad
You don't want me no more
But I'm gonna change your mind
Some way, somehow

[Chorus]

Da da, da da, da da da

One way love is just a fantasy
To share is precious, pure and fair
Don't play with something you should cherish for life
Oh baby, don't you wanna care?
Ain't it lonely out there?

[Chorus]

I want you the right way
I want you, but I want you to want me too,
Want me baby, just like I want you.
Da da, da da, da da da

[Spoken:]
I want you, the right way
Want me baby
Don't play with something you should cherish for life

"I Will"
(originally by The Beatles)

"I Will"
(originally by The Beatles)



Who knows how long I've loved you
You know I love you still
Will I wait a lonely lifetime
If you want me to, I will.

For if I ever saw you
I didn't catch your name
But it never really mattered
I will always feel the same.

Love you forever and forever
Love you with all my heart
Love you whenever we're together
Love you when we're apart.

And when at last I find you
Your song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you
And you know I will

Love you forever and forever
Love you with all my heart
Love you whenever we're together
Love you when we're apart.

And when at last I find you
Your song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you
Make it easy to be near you
For the things you do endear you to me
You know I will
I will.

"I Will Survive"

"I Will Survive"


(This is dedicated to my girls)

At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side
Then I spent so many nights Just thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along

And so you're back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here, with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me

Go on now go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Coz you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbyes?
you think I'd crumble?
you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no not I, I will survive
For as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give
I'll survive
I will survive
Hey hey

(I, I will survive)
Hey hey
(I, I will survive)
Every day
(I, I will survive)
Oh yeah

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Just trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high
And you see me, somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
But now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me

Go on now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now
You're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbyes?
you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no not I, I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give
I'll survive
I will survive
Hey hey

Go now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Coz you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no not I, I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give
I'll survive
I will survive
I will survive

"I Won't Last A Day Without You"

"I Won't Last A Day Without You"


Day after day I must face a world of strangers
Where I don't belong,
I'm not that strong
It's nice to know that there's someone I can turn to
Who will always care
You're always there

When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my small list of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

So many times when the city seems to be
Without a friendly face,
A lonely place
It's nice to know that you'll be there if I need you
And you always smile
It's all worth while

When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my small list of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

Touch me and I end up singing
Troubles seem to up and disappear
You touch me with the love you're bringin'
I can't really lose when you're near
When you're near my love
If all my friends have forgotten all their promisses
They're not unkind,
Just hard to find
One look at you and I know that
I could learn to live without the rest
I found the best

When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my small list of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my small list of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day...

"I Wouldn't Change The Man He Is"

"I Wouldn't Change The Man He Is"


I've got a funny kind of guy
Nobody knows him
Any better than I

Says without me
He can get along
But I know that's just a man's way
Of saying he's strong

But I wouldn't change him no
Oh I wouldn't change his funny ways
'Cause he's the cause of my sunny days
And though sometimes he brings me little tears
Still love the man he is

If I do something to please him
He never gives me credit
If I think he'll bring me candy and roses
Huh, I might as well forget it

He's the kind of a man
Who likes his privacy
And when a mood hits him
I know when to let him be

But I wouldn't change him no
I wouldn't change his funny, funny ways
'Cause he's the cause of my sunny days
And though sometimes he brings me little tears
Still love the man he is

Sometimes when he hurts me so bad
I think I've got migraine in the head
All he has to do is touch me
Tears disappear
I'll forgive him in a minute

I have to pretend
There ain't much I know
He's the kind of a man
Who likes to run the show

But I wouldn't change him, no
I wouldn't change his funny ways
'Cause he's the cause of my sunny days
Though sometimes he brings me little tears
Still love the man he is
Oh I love that man
I wouldn't change his funny ways
And I wouldn't change the man he is..

"I'll Set You Free"

"I'll Set You Free"


Oh, baby life could be something wonderful
Wonderful
You keep me satisfied
I need you by my side
But you wanna leave today
Don't throw it all away
The tender love we knew
The tender love so true
The happiness we shared
Just knowin' someone cared
You're gonna need me
Like you needed me before
Need me, baby
Come back and close the door
Can't cool all my emotion
Can't cool all my devotion
Life could be something wonderful
I'll set you free
Something wonderful
I'll set you free
In your sweet caress
It's better than livin' a life of loneliness
Ooh I'm givin' you all I had to give
Each day made me proud to live
You took the best of me
If you don't want the rest of me
I'll set you free
Fine fine
I'll set you free
Fine fine
I don't want nobody who don't want me, ooh
You're gonna miss the love I've been givin'
You're gonna miss the life you've been livin'
You're gonna need me I know it
You're gonna want me
But I'll set you free, I'll set you free
Ooh, I'll set you free, I'll set you free
You don't care about me
Ooh, life could be something wonderful
Something wonderful
Here's a sweet caress
It's better than livin' a life of loneliness
You're gonna be lonely boy
Ooh I'm givin' you all I had to give
Each day made me proud to live
You took the best of me
If you don't want the rest of me
I'll set you free
I'll set you free
I'll set you free
Don't want nobody who don't want me
Yeah, you're gonna be lonely
You're gonna miss the love I've been givin'
You're gonna miss the life you've been livin'
You're gonna want me, baby I know it
You're gonna want me, but I'll set you free
I could be, oh baby, I could be
Oh baby, I could be
Anything I wanna be
As long as I know you're here with me

"I'll Settle For You"

"I'll Settle For You"


Every star has a twinkle
Every palm has a wrinkle
Every leaf comes from a tree
I would agree

So if everything is made up of two
And the sky really needs the blue
For my other half
I'll settle for you

Every future has a past
Every first has a last
Every night has a day
Come what may

So if everything is made up of two
Whether it be old or new
For my other half
I'll settle for you

Who wants to be like a sea without a shore
The love just drifting forever more
Every smile has a frown
All you gotta do is turn it upside down
Every house has a door
Of that I'm sure

So if everything is made up of two
I think it would be best if you know
For my other half
I'll settle for you
Don't you know, I'll settle for you
I'll settle for you
If I had to settle, baby
I'll settle for you
Don't you know, I'll settle for you

"I'm A Winner"

"I'm A Winner"


I roll the dice
Seven eleven
You'll either take me down
Or you'll take me to heaven

And I'm so glad
I took the chance on you baby
I said I'm so glad
I took the chance on you baby

My friends all say
He don't play by the rules
So listen
Don't you be no fool
Don't you know, you're just a beginner
So look at me now

I'm a winner
I'm a winner
Yes, I am
She's a winner
Yeah, yes I am
She's a winner

Like a roulette wheel
Spinning around in my head
I put my chips on nine
Gamblin' you'd be mine

And I'm so glad
I took a chance on you baby
Say I'm so glad
I took the chance on you baby

My friends all say
We just don't understand it
You play this game
You'll come out empty handed

'Cause here we arrange her
And then shortchange her
But I fooled them, y'all

I'm a winner
I'm a winner
Yes I am
She's a winner
Yes I am

Put that money down
and put 'dem chips on nine

I'm a gambling girl
And I give all I got
So I am at your love
And I hit the jackpot

And I'm so glad
I took a chance on you baby
I'm so glad
I took the chance on you baby

I'm a winner
Yes I am
I'm a winner
Yes I am
