"I Wanna Be Around"

"I Wanna Be Around"


I wanna be around, to pick up the pieces
When somebody breaks your heart
Some, somebody twice as smart as I

A somebody who, will swear to be true
As you use to do with me
Who'll leave you to learn that misery loves company
Wait and see

I wanna be around to see how she does it
When she breaks your heart to bits
Let's see how the puzzle fits so fine

And that's when I'll discover that revenge is sweet
As I sit there applauding from a front row seat

When somebody breaks you heart
Like you, like you broke mine

"I'll Be Seeing You"

"I'll Be Seeing You"


I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day through

In that small cafe
The park across the way
The children's carousel
The chestnut trees, the wishin' well

I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In every thing that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way

I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you

"I'll Dance At Your Wedding"

"I'll Dance At Your Wedding"


I'll dance at your wedding, I'll dance at your wedding,
I'll dance at your wedding, I'll have a wonderful time.
I'll drink to your father, I'll drink to your mother,
Then I'll have another, for Old Lang Syne.
I'll kiss all the ladies, the young and old, and then.
I'll have myself another drink, and kiss them all again.
I'll dance at your wedding, I won't miss that wedding,
I'll dance at your wedding, am I gonna shine
At your wedding and mine.

I'll dance at your wedding, I'll dance at your wedding,
I'll dance at your wedding, I'll have a wonderful time.
I'll drink to your father, I'll drink to your mother,
Then I'll have another, for Old Lang Syne.
I'll kiss all the ladies, the young and old, and then.
I'll have myself another drink, and kiss them all again.
I'll dance at your wedding, I won't miss that wedding,
I'll dance at your wedding, am I gonna shine
At your wedding and mine.

"I'll Get By"

"I'll Get By"


I'll get by
As long as I have you
Though there be rain
And darkness too
I'll not complain
I will see it through

Poverty
May come to me, that's true
But what care I
Or I'll get by
As long as I have you.

Poverty
May come to me, that's true
But what care I
Or I'll get by
As long as I have you

But what care I
Say, I'll get by
As long as I have you.

"I'll Only Miss Him When I Think Of Him"

"I'll Only Miss Him When I Think Of Him"


I'll only miss him when I think of him
And I'll think of him all the time

Likely I'll spend my days
Hearing his turn of phrase
Things I found hard to praise
Right now would seem sublime

The truth is I'll only miss him
When some stranger laughs
'Cause it's still his laugh

My heart hears maybe in time, I guess
The longing will grow the slightest bit less
And there will be moments, yes
When it disappears, I'll bet I'll forget him completely
In about a hundred years

I'll bet I'll forget him completely
In about a hundred years

"I'm A Woman"

"I'm A Woman"


I can wash out 44 pairs of socks and have 'em hanging out on the line
I can starch & iron 2 dozens shirts 'fore you can count from 1 to 9
I can scoop up a great big dipper full of lard from the drippings can
Throw it in the skillet, go out & do my shopping, be back before it melts in the pan
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again

I can rub & scrub this old house til it's shining like a dime
Feed the baby, grease the car, & powder my face at the same time
Get all dressed up, go out and swing til 4 a.m. and then
Lay down at 5, jump up at 6, and start all over again
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again

If you come to me sickly you know I'm gonna make you well
If you come to me all hexed up you know I'm gonna break the spell
If you come to me hungry you know I'm gonna fill you full of grits
If it's loving you're liking, I'll kiss you and give you the shivering fits
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again

I can stretch! a green black dollar bill from here to kingdom come!
I can play the numbers pay the bills and still end up with some!
I got a twenty-dollar gold piece says there ain't nothing I can't do
I can make a dress out of a feed bag and I can make a man out of you
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, and that's all.

"I'm Beginning To See The Light"

"I'm Beginning To See The Light"


I never cared much for moonlit skies
I never wink back at fireflies
But now that the stars are in your eyes
I'm beginning to see the light

I never went in for afterglow
Or candlelight on the mistletoe
But now when you turn the lamp down low
I'm beginning to see the light

Used to ramble through the park
Shadowboxing in the dark
Then you came and caused a spark
That's a four-alarm fire now

I never made love by lantern-shine
I never saw rainbows in my wine
But now that your lips are burning mine
I'm beginning to see the light

Used to ramble through the park
Shadowboxing in the dark
Then you came and caused a spark
That's a four-alarm fire now

I never made love by lantern-shine
I never saw rainbows in my wine
But now that your lips are burning mine
I'm beginning to see the light

"I'm Confessin'"

"I'm Confessin'"


I'm confessin' that I love you,
Tell me, do you love me too?
I'm confessin' that I need you,
Honest I do, need you every hour
In your eyes I read such strange things,
But your lips deny they're true,
Will your answer really change things
Making me blue?

I'm afraid some day you'll leave me,
Saying "can't we still be friends"
When you go, you know you'll grieve me,
All my life on you depends.
Am I guessin' that you love me,
Dreaming dreams of you in vain,
I'm confessin' that I love you, over again.

"I'm Glad I Waited For You"

"I'm Glad I Waited For You"


I'm glad I waited for you
But then, what else could I do
Yes, there were one or two
I used to date with
But they always knew
I used them to wait with

I'm glad I waited for you
I'm glad my heart waited too
That fav'rite dream of mine
Has just come true
I'm glad I waited for you

That fav'rite dream of mine
Has just come true
I'm glad I waited for you
I'm glad I was true
But what else could I do
I'm glad I waited for you

"I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair"

"I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair"


I'm gonna wash that man right outta my hair
I'm gonna wash that man right outta my hair
I'm gonna wash that man right outta my hair
And send him on his way

I'm gonna wave that man right outta my arms
I'm gonna wave that man right outta my arms
I'm gonna wave that man right outta my arms
And send him on his way

Don't try to patch it up
Tear it up, tear it up
Wash him out, dry him out
Push him out, fly him out
Cancel him and let him go

Yea, sister!

I'm gonna wash that man right outta my hair
I'm gonna wash that man right outta my hair
I'm gonna wash that man right outta my hair
And send him on his way

If a man don't understand you,
If you fly on separate beams,
Waste no time, make a change,
Ride that man right off your range
Rub him out of the roll call
And drum him out of your dreams

Oho! If you laugh at different comics
If you root for different teams
Waste no time, weep no more
Show him what the door is for
Rub him out of the roll call
And drum him out of your dreams

You can't light a fire when the woods are wet
You can't make a butterfly strong
You can't fix an egg when it ain't quite good
And you can't fix a man when he's wrong

You can't put back a petal when it falls from a flower
Or sweeten up a fellow when he starts turnin' sour
Oh no! Oh no!

If his eyes get dull and fishy
When you look for glints and gleams
Waste no time
Make a switch
Drop him in the nearest ditch
Rub him out of the roll call
And drum humdrumbum right out of your dreams

I'm gonna wave that man right outta my arms
I'm gonna wave that man right outta my arms
I'm gonna wave that man right outta my arms
And sent him on his way

Walk him out
Dry him out
Push him out
Fly him out
And send him on his way!
