"Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas"

"Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas"


Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
Our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
Our troubles will be miles away.

Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.

Through the years
We all will be together,
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself A merry little Christmas now.

"Help Me Make It Through The Night"

"Help Me Make It Through The Night"


Take the ribbons from your hair.
Shake it loose and let it fall
Lay it soft upon my skin
Like the shadows on the wall
Come and lay down by my side
'Til the early morning light
All I'm taking is your time
Help me make it through the night

I don't care what's right or wrong
I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
For tonight I need a friend

Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night.

"How Long"

"How Long"


Well, your friends and their fancy persuasion
Don't admit that it's part of a scheme
And I can't help but have my suspicions, baby
'Cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem
You said that you never intended
To break up our scene in this way
For there ain't any use pretending, babe
It could happen to us any day
How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
Well, your friends and their fancy persuasion
Don't admit that it's part of a scheme
I can't help but have my suspicions
'Cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem
Well, you said you never intended
To break up our scene in this way
But there ain't any use in pretending
It could happen to us any day
How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
Yeah, yeah
Oh, ohh
Tell me baby
Whoa
Oh, and your friends with their fancy persuasion
Don't admit that it's part of a scheme
Can't help but have my suspicions, baby
Ain't quite as dumb as I seem
Oh, you said you never intended
To break up our scene in this way
Ain't any use in pretending
It could happen to us any day
How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
Tell me baby (How long)
How long (Going on)
Going on, going on
(How long) How long has this been going on?
Going on baby, how long?

"How Wonderful"

"How Wonderful"


How wonderful life can be
How happy is another day
All you know is all you feel
Till it's passed you by
How wonderful life can be
How come you walked this way?
All you know is all you feel
Sometimes it makes me cry

The kids are in the street
The sun is in the sky
I'm still their old fool
They're the apple of my eye

The dog barks at the gate
The rain pretends to fall
I'm still in love with you
The fear's not there at all

How wonderful life can be how happy is another day
All you know is all you feel
Until it's passed you by
How wonderful life can be
How come you walked this way?
All you know is all you hear
Sometimes it makes me cry

The colors of the season
Changing day by day
The leaves already falling
A cold win's on it's way
And how I have a reason
To settle back and say
How wonderful life's become
Just living with the ones I love.

"I Can't Make You Love Me"

"I Can't Make You Love Me"


Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize
Don't patronize me
'Cause I can't make you love me If you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark in these final hours
I will lay down my heart, and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
And I can't make you love me
If you don't
I'll close my eyes and then I won't see
The love you do not feel, when you're holding me
Morning will come, and I'll do what's right
Just give me till then, to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight
And I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
And here in the dark in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no, you won't
And I can't make you love me
If you don't
Ain't no use in you trying
It's no good for me baby without love
All my tears, all these years, everything I believed in
Baby
Oh yeah
Someone's gonna love me

"I Don't Know Enough About You"

"I Don't Know Enough About You"


I know a little bit
About a lot of things
But I don't know enough about you
Just when I think you're mine
You try a different line and
Baby, what can I do?

I read the latest news
No buttons on my shoes
Baby, I'm confused about you
You've got me in a spin and
What a spin I'm in
Cause I don't know enough about you

Jack-of-all-trades, master of none
And isn't it a shame
I'm so sure that you'd be good for me
If you'd only play my game

You know I went to school and
I'm nobody's fool
That is to say until I met you
You've got me in a spin and
What a spin I'm in
Cause I don't know enough about you

I know a bit about biology
A little more about psychology
I'm a little gem in geology
But I don't know enough about you

"I Don't Want To Hear Any More"

"I Don't Want To Hear Any More"


It's not the first time
That I've had the sense that something's wrong
But I'm old enough to know
That things don't always work out like they should
I know you're tryin' hard
To break it gently to me, now
But there's no easy way
To tell it like it is, so baby...

I don't want to hear any more
You don't need to tell me it's over
I've been here before

I've seen that look before
I know it well; it comes as no surprise
You've been avoiding me
But now you want to talk it over
Before you take my hand
And tell me softly in a whisper
There's no need to explain
I've read the book; I know how this all ends

I don't want to hear any more
You don't need to tell me it's over
I've been here before

I won't ask you to stay
I won't stand in your way
Look me right in the eyes
Let me walk away with my head high

If there's some other guy
I don't need to know why

But I don't want to hear any more
You don't need to tell me it's over
I've been here before

I won't ask you to stay
I won't stand in your way
And I don't want to hear any more
No, no, baby
I don't want to hear any more

"I Live By The Groove"

"I Live By The Groove"


Hey
Everybody loves to feel the beat
From Malibu to 42nd Street
I like to groove
No matter where I am
From Detroit City down to Alabama
It has moved me heart and soul
So I do believe
It's a whole philosophy to me
I live by the groove
I live by the groove
If I can't feel it, baby
I can't move
I live by the groove
I live by the groove
If I can hear it, baby
I can't lose
A good groove will
Turn your head around
Lifts you up
When you're feeling down
Get your body moving into gear
That's why the world's
Been turning all these years
It ain't written
In the statute books
It can't be learned in school
It's the law, baby
It's the golden rule
I live by the groove
I live by the groove
If I can't feel it, baby
I can't move
I live by the groove
I live by the groove
If I can hear it, baby
I can't lose
All right
It ain't written
In the statute books
It can't be learned in school
It's the law, baby
It's the golden rule
I live by the groove
I live by the groove
I live by the groove
I live by the groove
Hey, hey, hey, hey
I live by the groove
If I can't feel it, baby
I can't move
I live by the groove
I live by the groove
If I can hear it, baby
I can't lose
I live by the groove
I live by the groove
I live by the groove
I live by the groove
I live by the groove
I live by the groove
If I can't feel it, baby
I can't move
Said I live by the groove
I live by, live by
Live by, live by the groove
If I can't hear it
I can't move
I live by the groove
If I can't feel it, baby
I can't move...

"I Live On A Battlefield"

"I Live On A Battlefield"


I live on a battlefield
Surrounded by the ruined of the love we built
And then destroyed between us
The smoke has cleared
As I stumble through the rubble
I'm dazed, seeing double
And I'm truly mystified

My one home, is a shell hole filled
With tears and muddy water and bits of broken heart
All around, there is desolation
Scenes of devastation
Of a love been torn apart

I live on a battlefield
Though one where not on single drop of blood has spilled
Is no less horrifying
Sweet memoirs Of a bygone situation
Lie shattered, lord and battered
And scattered all around

My one home, is a shell hole filled
With tears and muddy water and bits of broken heart
All around, there is desolation
Scenes of devastation
Of a love been torn apart

Living on a battlefield
I can't hold on baby, oh no
I live on a battlefield, hey

My one home, is a shell hole filled
With tears and muddy water and bits of broken heart
All around, there is desolation
Scenes of devastation
Of a love been torn apart

Aw, baby
I can't go on
Living on a battlefield
Aw, baby

Hey baby
Hey baby
I live on a battlefield
I can't go on
I can't go on

Tears and muddy watter baby
I live on a battlefield
Scattered all around are bits of broken heart
I live on a battlefield
Aw baby
Hey

Imsite

"I Need You"

"I Need You"


Don't need a roller or a limousine
I don't need my picture in a magazine
I don't need approval from a chosen few
Tell you what I do need, I need you
Don't need no fixtures or feelings of home
I'm so unfurnished, I'm on my own
I don't need reminding, when the rent is due
Tell you what I do need, I need you
I need you like a fly needs a plane
I need you like a ball needs a game
I need you like a pool needs a cue
I need you, need you, need you, I need you
I don't need no covered kisses for company
I don't want no washed up dishes, soft soapin' me
I don't need no Cinderella in high heeled shoes
I tell you what I do need, I need you
(I need you)
Oh, I need you like a fly needs a plane
I need you like a ball needs a game
I need you like a shot needs to shoot
I need you, need you, need you, I need you
I need you, need you, need you
(I need you)
Said, I want you
(I need you)
I need you, need you, need you
(I need you)
But I want, I want you
(I need you)
Yes, I need
(I need you)
I need you, need you, need you
(I need you)
I want you, want you, want you
(I need you)
