"You Better Move On"
(originally by Arthur Alexander)



You ask me to give up the hand of the girl I love
You tell me I'm not the man she's worthy of
But who are you to tell her who to love?
That's up to her, yes, and the Lord above
You better move on

Well, I know you can buy her fancy clothes and a diamond rings
I believe she'd be happy with me without those things
Still, you beg me to set her free
But, my friend, that will never be
You better move on

I can't blame you for loving her
But can't you understand, man, she's my girl?
And I'm never gonna let her go
'Cause I love her so

Well, let me tell you how

I think you better go, now, I'm getting mighty mad
You ask me to give up the only love that I ever had
Maybe I would, oh, but I love her so
I'm never gonna let her go
You better move on
You better move on
You better move on

"You Can Get It If You Really Want"
(originally by Desmond Dekker)

"You Can Get It If You Really Want"
(originally by Desmond Dekker)



You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
But you must try, try and try
Try and try, you'll succeed at last

Persecution you must bear
Win or lose, you've got to get your share
Got your mind set on a dream
You can get it, though harder them seem now

You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
But you must try, try and try
Try and try, you'll succeed at last
I know it, listen

Rome was not built in a day
Opposition will come your way
But the hotter the battle you see
It's the sweeter the victory, now

You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
But you must try, try and try
Try and try, you'll succeed at last

You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
But you must try, try and try
Try and try, you'll succeed at last

You can get it if you really want, I know it
You can get it if you really want, though I show it
You can get it if you really want
So don't give up now

"You Can Have Her (I Don't Want Her)"

"You Can Have Her (I Don't Want Her)"


Well, you can have her, I don't want her
She didn't love me anyway
She only wanted someone to play with
But all I wanted was love to stay.

Well, you get stuck with the wrong woman
There's only one thing that you can do
Just dig a hole and jump right in it
And pull the ground right over you.

Well, you can have her, I don't want her
She didn't love me anyway
She only wanted, someone to play with
But all I wanted was love to stay.

The girl I love, she, up and left me
She ran away with my best friend
Comes home at night just for an hour
When day light comes she's gone again.

Well, you can have her, I don't want her
She didn't love me anyway
She only wanted, someone to play with
But all I wanted was love to stay.

Life without love is mighty empty
But confession's good for the soul
I'd rather have love that I can cling to
Than have the world and all of it's gold.

Well, you can have her, I don't want her
She didn't love me anyway
She only wanted, someone to play with
But all I wanted was love to stay.

Well, you can have her, I don't want her
She didn't love me anyway
She only wanted, someone to play with
But all I wanted was love to stay.

"You Must Believe Me"

"You Must Believe Me"


You must believe me
No matter what the people might say
You must believe me
Darling it just didn't happen that way
No, no it just didn't happen that way

You've come home with something on your mind
Darling, tell me, why are you crying?
You say, "Be serious," no time for fun
While trying to tell me, something that I've done
The things you heard couldn't be denied
But before your opinion, listen to my side

And you must believe me
No matter what the people might say
You must believe me
Darling it just didn't happen that way
No, no it just didn't happen that way

Whoa, it's alright
Whoa, it's alright

Girl, you're wrong to believe what was said
For you see nothing could ever be that bad
Though the talk is now all over town
Darling, you know I'd never put you down
True, her and me were at the party as guests
There's nothing else to say about whom I love best

And you must believe me
No matter what the people might say
You must believe me
Darling it just didn't happen that way
No, no it just didn't happen that way

Whoa, it's alright
Whoa, it's alright
Whoa, it's alright
Whoa, it's alright

"You Win Again"
(originally by Hank Williams)

"You Win Again"
(originally by Hank Williams)



What a dream I had
Pressed in organdy
Clothed in crinoline
Of smoky burgundy
Softer than the rain

I wandered empty streets
Down past the shop displays
I heard cathedral bells
Tripping down the alley ways
As I walked on

And when you ran to me
Your cheeks flushed with the night
We walked on frosted fields
Of juniper and lamplight
I held your hand

And when I awoke
And felt you warm and near
I kissed your honey hair
With my grateful tears
Oh, I love you, girl
Oh, I love you

"You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'"
(originally by The Righteous Brothers)



You never close your eyes
Anymore when I kiss your lips.
And there's no tenderness
Like before in your fingertips.
You're trying hard not to show it, (baby).
But baby, baby I know it...

You've lost that lovin' feelin',
Whoa, that lovin' feelin',
You've lost that lovin' feelin',
Now it's gone...gone...gone...wooooooh.

Now there's no welcome look
In your eyes when I reach for you.
And now you're starting to
Criticize little things I do.
It makes me just feel like crying, (baby).
'Cause baby, something beautiful's dyin'.

You lost that lovin' feelin',
Whoa, that lovin' feelin',
You've lost that lovin' feelin',
Now it's gone...gone...gone...woooooah

Baby, baby, I'd get down on my knees for you.
If you would only love me like you used to do, yeah.
We had a love...a love...a love you don't find everyday.
So don't...don't...don't...don't let it slip away.

Baby (baby), baby (baby),
I beg of you please (please), please (please)
I need your love (I need your love), I need your love (I need your love),
So bring it on back (So bring it on back),
Bring it on back (so bring it on back).

Bring back that lovin' feelin',
Whoa, that lovin' feelin'
Bring back that lovin' feelin',
'Cause it's gone...gone...gone,
And I can't go on,
Woh-oh-oh-oh

Bring back that lovin' feelin',
Whoa, that lovin' feelin'
Bring back that lovin' feelin',
'Cause it's gone...gone...gone...
And I can't go on.. wooooah
