"Stupid Cupid"
(originally by Connie Francis)



My fine feathered friend with your cute little pranks
I would like to express my thanks
I trusted you implicitly
But what a double-crosser
You turned out to be

Stupid Cupid you're a real mean guy (stupid cupid)
I'd like to clip your wings so you can't fly (stupid cupid)
I'm in love and it's a crying shame (stupid cupid)
And I know that you're the one to blame (stupid cupid)
Hey, hey, set me free
Stupid Cupid, stop picking on me

I can't do my homework and I can't think straight (stupid cupid)
I meet her every morning bout half past eight (stupid cupid)
Well, I'm acting like a lovesick fool (stupid cupid)
You've even got me carrying her books to school (stupid cupid)
Hey, hey, set me free
Stupid Cupid stop picking on me

You messed me up for good right from the very start
Hey, now, go play Robin Hood
With somebody else's heart

You got me jumping like a crazy clown (stupid cupid)
And I don't feature what you're putting down (stupid cupid)
Well, since I kissed her loving lips of wine (stupid cupid)
The thing that bothers me is that I like it fine (stupid cupid)
Hey, hey, set me free
Stupid Cupid stop picking on me

Yeah!

Oh!

Whoa!

You got me jumping like a crazy clown (stupid cupid)
And I don't feature what you're putting down (stupid cupid)
Hey, since I kissed her loving lips of wine (stupid cupid)
The thing that bothers me is that I like it fine (stupid cupid)
Hey, hey, set me free
A-stupid Cupid stop picking on me

Hey, hey, set me free
Well, stupid Cupid stop picking on me

(Stupid cupid)
(Stupid cupid)
(Stupid cupid)
(Stupid cupid)
(Stupid cupid)

"Sunny"

"Sunny"



Sunny, stay by me.

Rain used to fill my eyes
till I met you, Sunny.
You cleared my cloudy skies
pretty little Sunny.
You made the rain disappear,
it's just like magic when I hold you near.
Oh Sunny, stay by me.

I never wore a smile
till the day I found you.
Now all I do is smile
whenever I'm around you.
It's such a wonderful world,
say that you'll always be my sunshine girl.
Sunny stay by me.

My life was sad and lonely,
I never saw the sun.
But the very moment that I held you tight
I walked out of the darkness and into the light.

I love no one but you,
Sunny, please believe me.
Don't ever say we're through,
Sunny never leave me.
Promise you won't go away,
love me for ever as you do today.
Oh Sunny, stay by me.

"Superbird"

"Superbird"



When I was young
No worries in my head
I used to flap my arms
And fly around my bed
Just like a superbird
Zoom, zoom, zoom
Up and down the chandelier
All around the room

When I told the people
That I could really fly
They said that little boys
Ain't supposed to lie
Poor little superbird
Sitting on the ground
No zoom, zoom, zoom
When anyone's around

Fly, fly, fly, Superbird
Superbird
While you're young, Superbird
Superbird
There's time enough
To wreck your dreams
Have your fun
Superbird

They said I couldn't
So what did I do then?
I cried myself to sleep
And never tried again
Poor little Superbird
They woke you up too soon
No Santa Clause
Or green cheese on the moon

It skipped my mind for years
At least until tonight
When I tucked the kids in
And I turned out the light
There at the doorway
You'll never guess what I heard
Zoom, zoom, zoom
Superbird

Fly, fly, fly, Superbird
Superbird
While you're young, Superbird
Superbird
There's time enough
To wreck your dreams
Have your fun
Superbird

"That's When The Music Takes Me"

"That's When The Music Takes Me"



That's when the music takes me
Takes to a brighter day
That's when the music takes me
Helpin' me to find my way

When the day is so long that I can't hold on
When I'm down and I think my hope is gone
Oooh, Yeah,
That's when the music takes me
Closer to a brighter daaaay
I can feel my soul explodin'
There's a good feelin'
Helpin' me to find my waaay
My, my, my way

When the bluebird sings her sad, sad song
And the wind brings a cold to tag along
Oh, yeah,
I can feel the spirit move me
I can almost touch the sky
Reachin' for a new tomorrow
I know it's hard
But music makes me waaaaanna try
Wanna try
And then
That's when the music takes me
Takes to a brighter day
Yeah, yeah
That's when the music takes me
Helpin' me to find my way
(That's when the music takes me)
(That's when the music takes me)
Oh, yeah
But when the music takes me
Closer to a brighter day
I can feel my soul explodin'
There's a good feelin'
Helpin' me to fiiiiiiind my waaay
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And then I'm sayin'
That's when the music takes me
Takes to a brighter day
Yeah, yeah, yeah
That's when the music takes me
Helpin' me to find my way

Happy, happy, happy day
Happy, happy, happy day
Happy, happy, happy day
(That's when the music takes me)

"The Diary"

"The Diary"



Whoa, oh

How I'd like to look
Into that little book
The one that has the lock and key
And know the boy that you care for
The boy who's in your diary

When it's late at night
What is the name you write?
Oh, what I'd give if I could see
Am I the boy that you care for?
The boy who's in your diary

Do you recall
And make note of all
The little things I say and do?
The name you underline
I'm hoping
That it's mine
Darling, I'm so in love with you

Please don't leave me blue
Make all my dreams come true
You know how much you mean to me
Say I'm the boy that you care for
The boy who's in your diary

Whoa, oh

Oh, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
Whoo

"The Dreamer"

"The Dreamer"



The dreamer
Silly dreamer
They all call me
Since I met you

Every friend I have, girl
Called you bad girl
And they told me
To forget you
They said to me
Foolish little dreamer
Why can't you see
She's a fickle schemer
She'll take your heart
Thinking it's a joke
And break it apart
Laughing when it's broken, too

But I don't care
Because in my dream world you are my dream girl
So my prayer
Goes out to each little sheep to keep me asleep
The dreamer
Silly dreamer
They all called me
Soon they'll all see
They were wrong about you
Wrong to doubt you
Darling, we'll show them
How dreams come true

"The Girl For Me"

"The Girl For Me"



The way you hold me tight
The way you kiss goodnight
And every time we dance
My heart goes in a trance
You're (special) something special (special)
Oh, so special
You're the girl for me

The way you fix your hair
The way you choose your clothes
And every time you smile
Your lovely dimple shows
You're (special) something special (special)
Oh, so special
You're the girl for me

Anything you ask me
I, I will do
Anything at all I'll do for you

The way you like to laugh
At things we used to do
And even when I'm sad
You make me happy, too
You're (special) something special (special)
Oh, so special
You're the girl for me

You're (special) something special (special)
Oh, so special
You're the girl for me (the girl for me)

"The Hungry Years"

"The Hungry Years"



Girl we made it to the top
We went so high we couldn't stop
We climbed the ladder leading us nowhere
Two of us together
Building castles in the air

We spun so fast we couldn't tell
The gold ring from the carousel
How could we know the ride would turn out bad
Everything we wanted
Was everything we had

I miss the hungry years
The once upon a time
The lovely long ago
We didn't have a dime
Those days of me and you
We lost along the way

How could I be so blind
Not to see the door
Closing on the world
I now hunger for
Looking through my tears
I miss the hungry years

We shared our daydreams one by one
Making plans was so much fun
We set our goals and reached the highest star
The things that we were after
Were much better from afar

Here we stand just me and you
With everything and nothing, too
It wasn't worth the price we had to pay
Honey take me home
Let's go back to yesterday

I miss the hungry years
The once upon a time
The lovely long ago
We didn't have a dime
Those days of me and you
We lost along the way

How could I be so blind
Not to see the door
Closing on the world
I know hunger for
Looking through my tears
I miss the hungry years
I miss the hungry years

"The Immigrant"

"The Immigrant"



Harbours open their arms to the young searching foreigner
Come to live in the light of the beacon of liberty
Plains and open skies billboards would advertise
Was it anything like that when you arrived
Dream boats carried the future to the heart of America
People were waiting in line for a place by the river

It was a time when strangers were welcome here
Music would play they tell me the days were sweet and clear
It was a sweeter tune and there was so much room
That people could come from everywhere

Now he arrives with his hopes and his heart set on miracles
Come to marry his fortune with a hand full of promises
To find they've closed the door they don't want him anymore
There isn't any more to go around
Turning away he remembers he once heard a legend
That spoke of a mystical magical land called America

There was a time when strangers were welcome here
Music would play they tell me the days were sweet and clear
It was a sweeter tune and there was so much room
That people could come from everywhere

There was a time when strangers were welcome here
Music would play they tell me the days were sweet and clear
It was a sweeter tune and there was so much room
That people could come from everywhere
