"If It Don't Work Out"

"If It Don't Work Out"



When he loved me nothing in this world
Could touch his love
And now the light of love is back
Can I return the joys he's dreaming of?
I don't know
I don't know

(But if it don't work out)
The tears that I'm crying baby
Won't bring him home, no, no
I wanna bring him home

Will he still care for me
The way he did he before?
Or, will he turn away
And tell me he don't love me anymore?
I don't know
Oh, I don't know

(But if it don't work out)
The tears that I'm crying, baby
Won't bring him home
I wanna bring him home

But if I could forget
The tears and the crying
That I went through once before, yeah
Maybe my love and I could start
We'd start again, yeah

One day I know we'll find again
The love we had and I
Will know and feel
The joys and pleasures that I'm dreaming of
I don't know
I don't know

(But if it don't work out)
The tears that I'm crying, baby
Ain't gonna bring him home, again
Ain't gonna bring him home

Hey, But if it don't work out
The tears that I'm crying, baby
Hey, ain't gonna bring him home again
I'm gonna cry my heart out waiting for him, yeah
Cry my heart out, yes I will
Cry my heart out, yes I will
Cry my heart

"If It Hadn't Been For You"

"If It Hadn't Been For You"



I would be through with love
Have nothing to do with love
If it hadn't been for you
If it hadn't been for you

Love hurt me from the start
I'd still have a broken heart
If it hadn't been for you
If it hadn't been for you

You put your sweet lips on mine
And I believed in love again
The world took on a new shine
And, oh how sad it was then

When love was so cruel to me
How empty my life would be
If it hadn't been for you
And the little things you do
My whole world would fall through
If it hadn't been for you

If it hadn't been for you, ooh, ooh
My whole world would fall through
If it hadn't been for you
if it hadn't been for you
If it hadn't been for you
If it hadn't been for you
If it hadn't been for you

"If Wishes Could Be Kisses"

"If Wishes Could Be Kisses"



Baby, if wishes could be kisses
And dreams could make you mine
I wouldn't be a-sitting here
Wasting all this time
No, no, baby, if you call me
I'd race down the street
I'd be there so fast
You'd think I had wings on my feet
Oh, baby, if wishes could be kisses
I'd wish with all my mind
I wouldn't have to make believe
I'm in your arms tonight

No, no, baby
I could thrill you if you'd let me try
We'd take off together
And we'd tell this world goodbye

But I know it just can't be
Unless you feel the same as me, oh, yeah-heah
Baby, if wishes could be kisses
Then I'd be first in line
If I'm not wrong it won't take long
'Til you're my valentine

Oh, oh, baby, if you hear me
Make me know you do
If I'm lucky I'll find out
That you've been wishing too
A-come on, baby
A-come on, baby
If wishes could be kisses, oh, yeah
Oh, if wishes could be

Woah, baby, if you hear me
Make me know you do
If I'm lucky I'll find out
That you've been wishing too
A-come on, baby
Woah, come on, baby
If wishes could be kisses, now, yeah
If wishes could be kisses, yeah

"If You Go Away (Ne Me Quitte Pas)"

"If You Go Away (Ne Me Quitte Pas)"


If you go away on this summer day
Then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew in the summer sky
When our love was new and our hearts were high
When the day was young and the night was long
And the moon stood still for the night bird's song

If you go away, if you go away, if you go away

But if you stay, I'll make you a day
Like no day has been or will be again
We'll sail on the sun, we'll ride on the rain
We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind
Then if you go, I'll understand
Leave me just enough love to hold in my hand

If you go away, If you go away, If you go away

Ne me quitte pas
Il faut oublier
Tout peut s'oublier
Qui s'enfuit dj
Oublier le temps
Des malentendus
Et le temps perdu
A savoir comment
Oublier ces heures
Qui tuaient parfois
A coups de pourquoi
Le coeur du bonheur

Ne me quitte pas, ne me quitte pas, ne me quitte pas

But if you stay, I'll make you a night
Like no night has been or will be again
I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch
I'll talk to your eyes, that I love so much
Then if you go, I'll understand
Leave me just enough love to hold in my hand

If you go away, if you go away, if you go away

If you go away, as I know you must
There'll be nothing left in this world to trust
Just an empty room, full of empty space
Like the empty look I see on your face
Oh, I'd have been the shadow of your shadow
If it might have kept me by your side

If you go away, if you go away, if you go away

[Spoken:] Please don't go away!

"In Private"

"In Private"



Take your time and tell me
Where you lie
I realise
That we've been found out this time

We should stay together
If we can
But what you've planned
Means there's a difference between

What you're gonna say
In private
You still want my love
We're in this together
And what you're gonna do
In public
Say you were never in love
That you can remember

So discreet
I never tried to meet
Your friends or interfere
I took a back seat between

And what you gonna say
In private?
You still want my love
We're in this together
And what you're gonna do
In public
Say you were never in love
That you can remember

What you gonna say, ay
When you run back to your wife?
I guess it's just the story of my life
What you gonna say?

So take your time
And tell me
Where did you learn
Oh, I may publicise
That there's a difference between

What you're gonna say
In private?
You still want my love
We're in this together
And what you're gonna do
In public
Say you were never in love
That you can remember
Tell me what you gonna say
In private?, ooh, ooh, ooh
What you gonna say?
What you gonna do?
Baby, what you gonna say?

"In The Land Of Make Believe"
(originally by The Drifters)



In the land of make believe
You're mine tonight
Although you are far away
In the land of make believe
I'm holding you tight

The silver moon is shining above
And there's love in your eyes
And I'm kissing you
Like I used to do
Yesterday in paradise

I've been living in the land of make believe
Since you've been gone
I need you so much
That without your love
I must deceive myself
To go on

Your loving hand caresses my face
We embrace tenderly
Never will we part
Deep down in my heart
You are always here with me
You are always here with me
In the land of make believe
In the land of make believe
In the land of make believe

Your loving hand caresses my face
We embrace tenderly
Never will we part
Deep down in my heart
You are always here with me
You are always here with me
In the land of make believe
In the land of make believe
In the land of make believe
In the land of make believe

"It Was Easier To Hurt Him"

"It Was Easier To Hurt Him"



I should have told him
That I needed him
When I had the chance
And now he's left me
And it's all over
Goodbye romance
I should have told him then
Over and over again
That I love him

But, it was easier to hurt him, ooh
It was easier to hurt him, ooh
It was easier to hurt him
That's what I thought
Was being so smart

The way I cheated him
And mistreated him
How could I forget?
I was so sure that he
Would always trust in me
Oh, that I'd take a bet, no, no, no
He'd never say goodbye
But here all alone am I
He is gone now, ahh, 'cause

It was easier to hurt him
What could I do?
(It was) Easier to hurt him
I should have known better
That's what I thought
Was being so smart, oh, oh
It was easier to hurt him
I need him so bad
(It was) Easier to hurt him
What did I do?
(It was) Easier to hurt him
I should have known better
(It was) Easier to hurt him
I need him so bad

"Joe"

"Joe"



(Hey, does anybody know)
(How I can get in touch with Joe?)

If I have to catch a subway
Or catch a plane on a runway
I've got to find out some way
Where did he go?

Yesterday was bright and sunny
All his jokes were oh-so funny
Now he's gone and left me
Honey, where did you go?
I've been searchin' here and there
Lookin' for you everywhere
'Cause your love I wanna share

Hey, does anybody know
How I can get in touch with Joe?

I will try to wait forever
It could take till the twelfth of never
How I pray we'd be together
Where did he go?

My heart was pure
How could you bruise it?
Gave him mine
He just used it
My mind was clear
And he confused it
Where did he go?
I've been searchin' here and there
Lookin' for you everywhere
'Cause your love I wanna share

Hey does anybody know
How I can get in touch with Joe?, ooh
Does anybody know
How I can get in touch with Joe?
I can get in touch with Joe?, ooh Joey, Joey
Somebody tell me
Where did he go?, Joe
Come back baby, Joe, oh, oh, Joey, Joey, Joey

"Just A Little Lovin'"

"Just A Little Lovin'"



Just a little lovin'
Early in the mornin'
Beats a cup of coffee
For starting off the day

Just a little lovin'
When the world is yawnin'
Makes you wake up feeling
Good things are coming your way

This old world
Wouldn't be half as bad
It wouldn't be half as sad
If each and everybody in it had…

Just a little lovin'
Early in the mornin'
That little extra somethin'
To kinda see them through

Nothing turns the day on
Really gets it dawnin'
Like a little bit of lovin'
From some lovin' someone like you

This old world
Wouldn't be half as bad
It wouldn't be half as sad
If each and everybody in it had

Just a little lovin'
Early in the mornin'
(Just a little lovin')
(When the world is yawnin')
Just a little bit of lovin' ah
Oh, in the morning
Nothing turns the day on
Really gets it dawnin'
Make a little bit of lovin'
It's so good, it's so good

"Just One Smile"

"Just One Smile"



Can't I cry a little bit?
There's nobody to notice it
Can't I cry if I want to?
No-one cares

Why can't I pretend
That you'll love me again?
All I had has been taken from me
Now I cry tears that never become me

Just one smile means forgiving
Just one kiss, the hurt's all gone
Just one smile to make my life worth living
A little dream to build my world upon

How I wish I could say
All the things I want to say
If some way, you could see what's in my heart
Oh, baby

I don't ask for much
A look, a smile, a touch
Try to forget
Lord knows, I'm trying
It's so hard to forget
When your whole world you know is dying

Just one smile means forgiving
Just one kiss, the hurt's all gone
Just one smile to make my life worth living
A little dream to build my world upon

Just one smile please forgiving
Just one kiss, hurt's all gone
Just one smile to make my life worth living
A little dream to build my world upon
Just one smile
