"You Gotta Make Your Own Sunshine"

"You Gotta Make Your Own Sunshine"



Whenever the day is bringing you down
And nothing's going your way
Just turn it around
Don't let the world upset you
Get depressed and what doesn't get you
You've got a chance to make it
Reach right out and take it
Leave your worries behind
You gotta make your own sunshine
You gotta make your own sunshine

If nothing in life is turning you on
And everyone of your friends
All seem to be gone
Just start yourself a hummin'
Remember that the good times are coming
Life is a celebration
Don't waste your invitation
Hang those tears on the line
You gotta make your own sunshine
You gotta make your own sunshine

When you're feeling down
You gotta aim high
Don't stare at the ground
Reach for the sky... reach for the sky!

Just keep yourself up
Don't ever complain
Before you walk in the sun
You gotta laugh in the rain

Just get your act together
Be readdy for who and whatever
Life is a smile so find it
Put your face behind it
Get it straigh in your mind
You gotta make your own sunshine
You gotta make your own sunshine

Just get your act together
Be readdy for who and whatever
Life is a smile so find it
Put your face behind it
Get it straigh in your mind
You gotta make your own sunshine
You gotta make your own sunshine
You gotta make your own sunshine

"You Mean Everything To Me"

"You Mean Everything To Me"



You are the answer to my lonely prayer
You are an angel from above
I was so lonely till you came to me
With the wonder of your love

I don't know how I ever lived before
You are my life
My destiny
Oh, my darling
I love you so
You mean everything to me

If you should ever, ever go away
There would be lonely tears to cry
The sun above would be never shine again
There would be teardrops in the sky

So hold me close and never let me go
And say our love will always be
Oh, my darling
I love you so
You mean everything to me (you mean everything to me)

So hold me close and never let me go
And say our love will always be
Oh, my darling
I love you so
You mean everything to me

"You Never Done It Like That"

"You Never Done It Like That"



You're so terrific
Ooooh you never done it like that
You never been this way before
To be specific
Ooooh you never done it like that
Who went and opened up the door?
My lips are burnin'
Yeah, you never done it like that
I thought the flame was dead and gone
But you been learnin'
Yeah you never done it like that
How long has this been goin' on?

Ooooh, ooooh, who's been teachin' you?
Show me the man and let me shake his hand
Hey look at me, I feel just like Columbus
I did discover you're some kind of lover

My mind is blowin'
Ooooh you never done it like that
You got me climbin' up the wall
My love is growin'
Yeah, you never done it like that
You know you made me ten feet tall

Ooh what you're doin'
Ooh what you're doin'
Ooh what you're doin'
You never done it, You never done it
You never done it like that

Ooh what you're doin'
Ooh what you're doin'
Ooh what you're doin'
You never done it, You never done it
You never done it like that

Oh what a feelin'
Ooooh you never done it like that
Not since I can remember when
I'm on the ceiling
Hey you never done it like that
Looks like we got it on again

Do it again
Do it again
Do it again
Do it again

Ooh what you're doin'
Ooh what you're doin'
Ooh what you're doin'
You never done it, You never done it
You never done it like that

Ooh what you're doin'
Do it again
Ooh what you're doin'
Do it again
Ooh what you're doin'
You never done it, You never done it
You never done it like that

Ooh what you're doin'
Do it again
Ooh what you're doin'
Ooh what you're doin'
You never done it, You never done it
You never done it like that

"You Took Advantage Of Me"

"You Took Advantage Of Me"


In the spring when the feeling was chronic
And my caution was leaving you flat,
I should have made use of the tonic
Before you gave me that!
A mental deficient you'll grade me.
I've given you plenty of data.
You came, you saw and you slayed me,
And that-a is that-a!

I'm a sentimental sap, that's all.
What's the use of trying not to fall?
I have no will,
You've made your kill
'Cause you took advantage of me!
I'm just like an apple on a bough
And you're gonna shake me down somehow.
So what's the use,
You've cooked my goose
'Cause you took advantage of me!

I'm so hot and bothered that I don't know
My elbow from my ear.
I suffer something awful each time you go
And much worse when you're near.

Here am I with all my bridges burned,
Just a babe in arms where you're concerned,
So lock the doors
And call me yours
'Cause you took advantage of me.

When a girl has the heart of a mother
It must go to someone, of course;
It can't be a sister or brother
And so I loved my horse.
But horses are frequently silly-
Mine ran from the beach of Kailua
And left me alone for a filly,
So I-a picked you-a.

I'm a sentimental sap, that's all.
What's the use of trying not to fall?
I have no will,
You've made your kill
'Cause you took advantage of me!
I'm just like an apple on a bough
And you're gonna shake me down somehow.
So what's the use,
You've cooked my goose
'Cause you took advantage of me!

I'm so hot and bothered that I don't know
My elbow from my ear.
I suffer something awful each time you go
And much worse when you're near.

Here am I with all my bridges burned,
Just a babe in arms where you're concerned,
So lock the doors
And call me yours
'Cause you took advantage of me.

"You're Knockin' Me Out"

"You're Knockin' Me Out"



When we start a-dancing I'm a nervous wreck
Your kinda shaking has a rare effect
I can't stop a-flipping over what you're doing
That kinda beat can drive a man to ruin
Slow down, baby, can ya hear me shout?
Stop! You're knockin' me out

Crazy bout your rhythm when you're rock 'n' rolling
All I'm asking honey is that you control it
Your dancing is entrancing, oh, yes indeedy
But my one objection is you're much too speedy
Slow down, baby, can ya hear me shout?
Stop! You're knockin' me out

We go dancing
And everything is fine
We're romancing
The music is divine
Then the band starts to syncopate
You jump from thirty three to seventy eight

Spinning like a record on a record machine
You've got me going dizzy over your routine
The way ya shake your shoulders and the way ya twist 'em

Starts a chain reaction in my nervous system
Slow down, baby, can ya hear me shout?
Stop! You're knockin' me out

Whoo!
Ah, shake it honey

Oh, slow it down

Oh, now we go dancing
Everything is fine
We're romancing
The music is divine
Then the band starts to syncopate
You jump from thirty three to seventy eight

Spinning like a record on a record machine
You've got me going dizzy over your routine
The way ya shake your shoulders and the way ya twist 'em
Starts a chain reaction in my nervous system
Slow down, baby, can ya hear me shout?
Stop! You're knockin' me out

Slow down, baby, can ya hear me shout?
Stop!

"You're So Good For Me"

"You're So Good For Me"



Today I opened up my eyes
And reached to touch your face
But found that you were gone.
Now the tears begin to show,
And now I think I know
What love can do.

Now I realise that baby you're so good for me,
Don't care what other people say,
They say that I could lose my heart,
I don't care, I don't care, feels so good
To have you lay down by my side
And baby it's so clear to see
That you're so good for me.

Oh yes, it was a San Francisco night,
The moments that we shared
Will haunt me constantly.
Oh, was this for real or just a dream,
I guess that love is never what it seems to be.

Now I realise that baby you're so good for me,
Don't care what other people say,
They say that I could lose my heart,
I don't care, I don't care, feels so good
To have you lay down by my side
And baby it's so clear to see
That you're so good for me.

Now I realise that baby you're so good for me,
Don't care what other people say,
They say that I could lose my heart,
I don't care, I don't care, feels so good
To have you lay down by my side
And baby it's so clear to see
That you're so good for me,
You're so good for me,
You're so good for me,
You're so good for me baby.

"Your Favorite Entertainer"

"Your Favorite Entertainer"



You hear his voice above the roaring of the crowd,
Dance while he goes through his charade.
You see him standing there so tall and proud
And you know, damn well the man has got it made.

Applause, applause for your favorite entertainer,
Write a love letter to your favorite entertainer.
Applause, applause, because he's up there singing just for you,
Singing just for you.

His every movement draws you closer to the stage,
Helplessly carried on the tide.
Giddy and feeling almost half your age,
It's magic he's got going on inside.

Applause, applause for your favorite entertainer,
Write a love letter to your favorite entertainer.
Applause, applause, because he's up there singing just for you,
Singing just for you.

You'd love to touch him but you know you wouldn't dare
To kiss the lips that sing the song.
You wave and scream to let him know you're there.
With luck he'll sign the book you've brought along.

Applause, applause for your favorite entertainer,
write a love letter to your favorite entertainer.
Applause, applause, because he's up there singing just for you,
Singing just for you,
Singing just for you.
