"Do You Know The Way To San Jose?"

"Do You Know The Way To San Jose?"



Do you know the way to San Jose?
I've been away so long
I may go wrong and lose my way
Do you know the way to San Jose?
I'm going back
To find some peace of mind
In San Jose

L.A. is a great big freeway
Put a hundred down and buy a car
In a week maybe two,
They'll make you a star
Weeks turn into years
How quick they pass
And all the stars that never were
Are parking cars and pumping gas

You can really breathe in San Jose
They've got a lot of space
There'll be a place where I can stay
I was born and raised in San Jose
I'm going back
To find some peace of mind
In San Jose

Fame and fortunes a magnet
It can pull you far away from home
With a dream in your heart
You are never alone
Dreams turn into dust and blow away
And there you are without a friend
You pack your car and ride away

I got lots of friends in San Jose
Do you know the way to San Jose?

L.A. is a great big freeway
Put a hundred down and buy a car
In a week maybe two
They'll make you a star
Weeks turn into years
How quick they pass
And all the stars that never were
Are parking cars and pumping gas

I got lots of friends in San Jose
Do you know the way to San Jose?
Can't wait to get back home
To San Jose

"Don't Be Cruel"

"Don't Be Cruel"



You know I can be found
Sitting home all alone,
If you can't come around,
At least please telephone
Don't be cruel
To a heart that's true

Baby, if I made you mad
For something I might have said,
Please, let's forget the past
The future looks bright ahead
Don't be cruel
To a heart that's true

I don't want no other love,
Baby it's just you I'm thinking of

Don't stop thinking of me
Don't make me feel this way
Come on over here and love me
You know what I want you to say

Don't be cruel
To a heart that's true
Why should we be apart?
I really really love you baby,
Cross my heart

Let's walk up to the preacher
And let us both say I do
Then you'll know you'll have me
And I'll know I'll have you too

Don't be cruel
To a heart that's true

I don't want no other love
Baby it's just you I'm thinking of
Don't be cruel To a heart that's true
Don't you be cruel
To a heart that's true
Don't you be cruel
To a heart that's true

"Don't Forget Me"
(originally by Harry Nilsson)

"Don't Forget Me"
(originally by Harry Nilsson)



In the wintertime
Keep your feet warm,
Keep your clothes on
And don't forget me.
Keep the memory,
But keep your powder dry, too.

In the summer
By the pool side
While the fireflies
Are all around me,
I'll miss you when I'm lonely,
I'll miss the alimony, too.

Don't forget me, please don't forget me,
Make it easy on me just for a little while.
You know I'll think about you,
Let me know you think about me, too.

When we're older
And full of cancer
It doesn't matter now,
Come on, get happy,
'Cause nothing lasts forever,
And I will always love you.

Don't forget me, please don't forget me,
Make it easy on me just for a little while.
You know I'll think about you,
Let me know you think about me, too.

You know I'll think about you,
Let me know you think about me, too.

"Don't Go Away Mad"

"Don't Go Away Mad"



I guess you think
That if you snap your fingers
I'll forget
I'm supposed to jump for joy
'Cause you say you regret
Being so bad
Don't go away mad
Now just go away

Remember how you told me
You had some new interest
And with out a fuss
You dropped me
As if I was just yesterday's fad
Don't go away mad
Now just go away

You talked to me
One day feel like coal
You once used me
While you played the field
I played the fool

So forgive me if I doubt you
When you say you need me
I'll get over thinkin' bout you
And of everything we might have had
Don't go away mad
Now please go away
Before I ask you to stay

"Don't Go There"

"Don't Go There"



She wants to take it just a little bit further now,
Don't let that happen 'cause if you let her in,
She's gonna take it away.
Take anything
And what are you gonna sing?

You better be aware
Don't go there
Don't wanna let her play with what belongs to you
Cause if you let her play with you know what
You know what she's gonna do
She's gonna take it from you
That's just what she's gonna do
I don't know where
I don't know where

Ow boy she's sitting on my shoulder and telling me
The night is warm now but it might be get cold out there
And look out friend
Before you finaly deside which way to go
I hope you stop and review the scenario
And how it ends
So it just can't get
I don't know where

Alright
Don't say i didn't warn you my friend
If you think it will last
Maybe it's time to start thinking again
You're looking for love and you're thinking you've found it some
You're looking for putting it away in the bank and save it
How do you like a deodorant and cheap parfume?
You're paying a price when your heart is been misbehaving
Don't go there
Don't go there

You wanna play it save and make no promises
If she understands the rules of the game
It 'll maybe work out fine
But baby take your time
And don't you be unkind
If all that's clear
Then don't go there

This thing is light on to take some funny turns
The only thing that you concurn is have new and take yourself
It's not like you're the one who's you is lying blank
But in the heat of things you got to apply your mind
To something else
Life ain't fair
Don't go there

Once you're in you might not get out
Hehehehehe
You're looking for love in the back of a limousine
You're looking for something that's missing inside within you
If you think you can run on the power of nicotine
They've got a new drug for your mood that will surely thrill you
Don't go there
Don't go there

Didididididididdidi

Dodododo

This ain't the bible and it ain't no moral tale
If it's a lesson it's a the bible you can learn it
If it's not too late
But don't you wait
Here's a tune
And listen is clear
Cause don't go there

Tidididididididididi
Tidididididididididi
Don't go there
Don't go there
Don't go there
Don't go there
Don't go there
Don't go there
Don't go there
Don't go there
Don't go there
Don't go there
Don't go there

"Don't Look Down"

"Don't Look Down"



Don't look down
Or you're gonna fall
Things are gonna get easier
Much too serious, lighten up
This climb ain't made to be pleasing you
Don't look down or contemplate
You're doin' fine, you're makin' it
Fix both your eyes and concentrate
Step at a time you're takin' it

Don't look down, just don't look down

Don't look down
Give a little more
Just forget how high you been
Every step becomes a floor
Every floor is a little thin
Don't look down or contemplate
You're doin' fine, you're makin' it
Fix both your eyes and concentrate
Step at a time you're takin' it

Don't look down, don't look down

Don't look down
You're getting there
Straight ahead to the very top
Sunny skies and open air
Ain't no glory if you stop
Don't look down or contemplate
You're doin' fine, you're makin' it
Fix both your eyes and concentrate
Step at a time you're takin' it

Don't look down,
I'm sayin' don't look down
(instrumental)

Don't look down
I'm beggin' now
Don't let your sense be leavin' you
Keep your mind on the straight ahead
Some other time you'll enjoy the view
Don't look down, don't look down

Don't look down, don't look, don't look
Don't look down

No, don't look down

"Don't Make Me Over"

"Don't Make Me Over"



Don't make me over
Now that I can't
Make it without you
Don't make me over
I wouldn't change
One thing about you

Don't pick on the things
I say,
The things I do
Just love me with all my faults,
The way that I love you
I'm begging you

Don't make me over
Now that I'd do anything for you
Don't make me over
Now that you know how I adore you

Just take me inside your arms
And hold me tight
And always be by my side,
If I am wrong or right
I'm begging you

Don't make me over
Don't make me over
Now that you've got me
At your command

Accept me for what I am
Accept me for the things I do
Accept me for what I am
Accept me for the things I do

Just take me inside your arms
And hold me tight
And always be by my side,
Even if I am wrong or right
I'm begging you

Don't make me over
No, don't make me over
Now that
You've got me at your command

Accept me for what I am
Accept me for the things I do
Accept me for what I am babe
Accept me for the things I do

Don't make me over
Don't make me over
Accept me for what I am
Accept me for the things I do

"Don't Think... Feel"

"Don't Think... Feel"



Hey
Sleepy old sun, sleepy old day
Sleepy old tree gonna make me some shade
Sleepy old time on my side of town
I'm feelin' fine, I'll explain to you now

Don't think, feel
Ain't no big deal
Just make it real and don't think, feel
It don't take plans to clap your hands
When it feels nice just don't think twice

Some worry all day 'bout who they can trust
Some worry all night 'bout money and lust
Worried they do and worried they die
And after they're gone just the bankers cry

Don't think, feel
Ain't no big deal
Just make it real and don't think, feel
It don't take plans to clap your hands
When it feels nice just don't think twice

Life is a card, you take what you get
You do what you can to feel no regret
You do what you can, forget about words
Just go with the feelin' it usually works

And don't think, feel
Ain't no big deal
Just make it real and don't think, feel
It don't take plans to clap your hands
When it feels nice you don't think twice

Don't think, feel
Ain't no big deal
Just make it real and don't think, feel
It don't take plans to clap your hands
When it feels nice you don't think twice

Don't think, feel
Ain't no big deal
Just make it real and don't think, feel

"Don't Turn Around"

"Don't Turn Around"



If you wanna leave,
I won't beg you to stay
And if you gotta go, darlin'
Maybe it's better that way
I'm gonna be strong, gonna do fine
Don't worry about this heart of mine
Just walk out that door, yeah
See if I care
Go on and go now

But don't turn around
'Cause your gonna see my heart breakin'
Don't turn around
I don't want you seein' me cry
Just walk away
It's tearin' me apart that you're leavin'
I'm lettin' you go
But I won't let you know

I won't miss your arms around me
Holdin' me tight, so tight, real tight
If you ever think about me,
Just know that I'll be alright
I'm gonna be strong, gonna do fine
Don't worry about this heart of mine
I know I'll survive
I'll make it through
I'll even learn to live without you

But don't turn around
'Cause you're gonna see my heart breakin'
Don't turn around
I don't want you seein' me cry
Just walk away
It's tearin' me apart that your leavin'
I'm letting you go
But I won't let you know

I wish I could cry out loud
That I love you, baby
I wish I could sing to you
Don't go, don't go, don't go

But don't turn around
'Cause your gonna see my heart breakin'
Don't turn around,
I don't want you seein' me cry
Just walk away
It's tearin' me apart that you're leavin'
I'm letting you go

Don't turn around
'Cause you're gonna see my heart breakin'
Don't turn around
I don't want you seein' me cryin'
If you want to walk away, walk away babe
So, go on, go on, go on
Just don't turn around
Don't turn around
Just walk away
It's tearing me apart that your leavin'

Looked up in wonder at the same moon
And wept when it was all done
For bein' done too soon
For bein' done too soon
For bein' done
