"Who Can I Turn To (When Nobody Needs Me)"

"Who Can I Turn To (When Nobody Needs Me)"



Who can I turn to
When nobody needs me?
My heart wants to know
And so I must go
Where destiny leads me
With no star to guide me
And no-one beside me
I'll go on my way
And after the day
The darkness will hide me

And maybe tomorrow
I'll find what I'm after
I'll throw off my sorrow
Beg, steal or borrow
My share of laughter

With you I could learn to
With you on a new day
But who can I turn to if you turn away?
Oh, oh, yeah

With no star to guide me
And nobody beside me
I'll go on my way and after the day
The darkness will hide me

And maybe tomorrow
I'm gonna find what I'm after
I'll throw off my sorrow
Beg, steal or borrow
My share of laughter

With you I could learn to
Oh, with you on a new day
But who can I turn to if you turn away?

"Who Could Be Loving You Other Than Me?"

"Who Could Be Loving You Other Than Me?"



Though you hold me the same old way
Your tenderness, oh, is fading fast
And I keep waiting, anticipating
Which moment you will choose to be our last
And I'll be left with nothing but the thought of you, oh
So clearly, I can see that day coming
And when you're resting in the arms of someone new
And I'll be running around and searching for you

Wondering where can you be?
Who could be loving you other than me?, baby, baby, baby
Where can you be?
Who could be loving you other than me?

You used to tell me, very, very much how much you loved me
And I could always depend on you
You needed a friend so I took you in
But I get the feelin' now that, darling, we're through
Now, I wish there was something I could say or try to do
But I'm afraid it would only make matters worse
I can feel your love fading for me
'Cause I know so well how it used to be

And I'm wondering where can you be?
Who could be loving you other than me?
Oh, darling, where can you be?
Who could be loving you other than me?

Now, I can give up material things
'Cause they're not a necessity to me
But when it comes to givin' up the only love
I've ever known
I just don't think my heart would agree

Tell me, where can you be?
Who could be loving you other than me?
Listen baby, where can you be?
Who could be loving you other than me?
Darling, darling
Where can you be?
Who could be loving you better and sweeter than me?
Oh, where can you be?
Who could be loving you?
Oh, baby

"Who Gets Your Love"

"Who Gets Your Love"



In your sleep you've been talkin'
Callin' every other name but mine
And that's not a very encouraging sign
In my arms, you've been restless
Thinkin' 'bout somebody else while holdin' me
Well, if you want me to set you free
You don't have to ask for my permission
I don't wanna live in a broken home
I can do without an explanation
You don't have to spend tonight alone

Oh, tell me
Who gets your love when I'm gone?
Will she kiss you with her eyes
Choose your ties, keep your pillow warm?
Baby, baby, who gets your love when I'm gone?
When I move into the house
Down the street where I started from?
Oh, who gets your love?

Oh, people talk, I hear rumours
My imagination, it runs away with me
Gonna lose you eventually
So I'll go, I'll make it easy
Give you back the need that I don't satisfy
Maybe she will better than I

You gotta tell me
Who gets your love when I'm gone?
Will she let you stay in bed
Rub your head, take the pain away?
Baby, baby, who gets your love when I leave?
When I've said my last goodbye
You'll know why I just couldn't stay

I just couldn't stay
Tell me who gets your love when I'm gone?
Will she love you, love you, love you
And will she keep your pillow so warm
Tell me who, when I go, when I leave?
When I'm walking down the street where I am
'Cause you treated me so badly
And you lost what you had baby

"Will You Love Me Tomorrow"
(originally by The Shirelles)



Tonight you're mine completely, oh
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow?, oh

Is this a lasting treasure?, oh, no, no, no
Or just a moment's pleasure?
Can I believe the magic of your sighs?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Tonight, with words unspoken
You said that I'm the only one
But will my heart broken
When the night meets the morning sun?

I'd like to know that your love, no, no, no, no, no
Is a love I can be sure of
So, tell me now
And I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?, oh

So tell me now
And I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?, ah, hey
Will you still love me, love me tomorrow?, no, no, no, no
Will you still love me, love me tomorrow?

"Willie & Laura Mae Jones"

"Willie & Laura Mae Jones"



Willie & Laura Mae Jones
Were our neighbours a long time back
They lived right down the road from us
In a shack just like our shack

The people worked the land together
And we learned to count on each other
When you live off the land
You don't have the time to think about another man's colour

The cotton was high and the corn was growing fine
But that was another place and another time

Sit out on the front porch
In the evening when the sun went down
Willie would play and the kids would sing
And everybody would mess around
Daddy'd bring out his guitar
And play on through the night
Every now and then ol' Willie would grin and say
"Hey, you play all right"
Made me feel so good

I remember the best times of all
When Saturday came around

We all would stop by Willie's house and say
"Do y'all need anything from town?"
He'd say "No, but why don't y'all stop on the way back through?
And I'll get Laura Mae, yeah, to cook up some barbecue"
And you know that's good

The cotton was high and the corn was growing fine, yes it was
But that was another place and another time

Oh, the years rolled past the land
And took back what they'd given
We all knew we had to move
If we were gonna make a living

So we all moved off
And went about our separate ways
It sure was hard to say goodbye
To Willie and Laura Mae (Jones), oh yeah

The cotton was high and the corn was growing fine, yes it was
But that was another place and another time
I remember so well
The cotton looked so fine
But that was another place and another time
And it felt so good, yes it did

"Windmills Of Your Mind"

"Windmills Of Your Mind"



Round,
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain
Or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that's turning
Running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple
Rolling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Like a tunnel that you follow
To a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern
Where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps revolving
In a half-forgotten dream
All the ripples from a pebble
Someone tosses in a stream

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple
Rolling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Keys that jingle in your pocket
Words that jangle in your head
Why did summer go so quickly?
Was it something that you said?
Lovers walk along the shore
Leave their footprints in the sand
Is the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand?
Pictures hanging in a hallway
Or the fragment of this song
Half-remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong?
When you knew that it was over
You Were suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
To the colour of his hair?

Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
As the images unwind
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

"Yesterday When I Was Young"

"Yesterday When I Was Young"


[Spoken:]
Somehow, it seems the love I knew was always the most destructive kind

Yesterday when I was young
The taste of life was sweet
As rain upon my tongue
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
The way the evening breeze
May tease the candle flame

The thousand dreams I dreamed
The splendid things I planned
I always built to last on weak and shifting sand
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day
And only now I see how the time ran away

Yesterday when I was young
So many lovely songs were waiting to be sung
So many wild pleasures lay in store for me
And so much pain my eyes refused to see
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
I never stopped to think what life was all about
And every conversation that I can now recall
Concerned itself with me and nothing else at all

The game of love I played with arrogance and pride
And every flame I lit too quickly, quickly died
The friends I made all somehow seemed to slip away
And only now I'm left alone to end the play, yeah

Oh, yesterday when I was young
So many, many songs were waiting to be sung
So many wild pleasures lay in store for me
And so much pain my eyes refused to see
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
The time has come for me to pay for yesterday
When I was young
