"Take A Closer Look At Me"

"Take A Closer Look At Me"


You ask me from time to time
About different girls that catch your eyes
Love is what you're looking for
But blind may my love you ignore
Standing right before your eyes
Is all the love you’ll hope to find
So, throw away your little black book
If it’s love you want, here I am

Just take a closer look at me
(Ooh) Just take a closer look at me
Just take a closer look, you'll see in me
Love, love is what you want, baby
Love, Love is what you need
(Sweet girl)

The girls you chose with no big hits
They struck out with every pitch
Each new day I never complain
The same results with different names
You come to me to straighten your life
Not with love but my advice
I'm your friend you know for sure
Can't you see I wanna be more

Just take a closer look at me
Just take a closer look at me
Just take a closer look, you'll see in me
Love, if love is what you want, baby
If love is what you need

Haven't you noticed how I find
Clever little ways to steal your time
Advice I give for you to take
For other girls is for my sake
The very things I said to do
Are the lovely things I want from you
I don't wanna seemed so bold
If you can't see, you gotta be told

Just take a closer look at me (Oh baby)
Just take a closer look at me
[repeat]

"Tears In Vain"

"Tears In Vain"


I don't want to love you
But I do
And I just can't help it

You bring me happiness
And then pain
Are these nights I spend
Crying over you really worth it
Really worth it
Or am I shedding tears in vain

You know every girl has to have
Someone she can depend on
Someone to trust in
And I depend on you day by day
It's always been that way

When you kiss me
Tears of joy I shed
Makes me wonder
Makes me wonder
Wonder am I shedding tears in vain

Darling I wonder
Are all these tears in vain

"Thank Him For Today"

"Thank Him For Today"


Sky is clear, the sun is shining
The trees follow a path made by the wind
Ooo, I smile, friends are caring
Beautiful people always sharing
Thank Him for today, oh, thank Him for today

(Thank Him, thank Him, thank Him for today
Thank Him, thank Him, thank Him for today)

Don't let a tear
Don't let a tear fall from your loving eyes
Smile, smile
Don't let a frown, don't let a frown
From others get you down
Smile, smile

Come with me, I'm so happy
I'll make you smile and tears will just go away
Ooo-hooo, 'cause I know, I have tried it
And I shall always, always live by it
Thank Him for today, oh, thank Him for today

Come with me, I'm happy
I'll make you smile and tears will just go away
Ooo, I know 'cause I have tried it
And I shall always, always live by it
Thank Him for today, oh, yeah thank Him for today
(Thank Him) Thank Him for the flowers
Thank Him for today (Thank Him)
Thank Him for every hour
Thank Him for today (Thank Him...)

"The Ballad Of Davy Crocket"

"The Ballad Of Davy Crocket"


He was born on a mountain top in Tennessee
Greenest state in the Land of the Free
Raised in the woods so he knew every tree
Killed himself a bear when he was only three
Davy, Davy Crocket
King of the wild fronteer

He was a cardfan man
His life was worthy
He had love in his hands
And his hands were dirty
And the sky turned to fire
On the day of his birth

Now he lost his love and his grief was gall
In his heart he wanted to leave it all
And lose himself in the forest tall
But answered instead his country's call
Davy, Davy Crocket
King of the Wild Fronteer

He was a mighty big man
In a mighty big land
Had a mighty big heart
And mighty big hand
When his country called
He met the demand

Fought single-handed through the Injun War
Till the creeks was swept and peace was in store
And while he was handlin this risky chore
Made himself a legend forevermore
Davy, Davy Crocket
King of the Wild Fronteer

At night he walked to the woods alone
Winding his beard
Way back home
A hero's curse, a man alone

Looking for a place where the air smells clean
Where the tree is tall and the grass is green
Where the fish is fat in an untouched stream
And teemin' woods is a hunter's dream
Hey, Davy, Davy Crocket
King of the Wild Fronteer

He was a big, big man
Davy, Davy Crocket
King of the Wild Fronteer
He sure loved those woods
Davy, Davy Crocket
King of the Wild Fronteer
Mmm, Davy!

"The Christmas Song"

"The Christmas Song"


Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletidecarols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like eskimos
Everybody knows, a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright

Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mothers child is gonna spy
To see if reindeers really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry christmas, merry christmas
Merry christmas to you

"The House Of The Rising Sun"
(originally by The Animals)

"The House Of The Rising Sun"
(originally by The Animals)



There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl
And God I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
Sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
The only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

Oh, mother tell your children
Not to do what we have done
Spend your lives in chear misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many poor girl
And God I know I'm one

"The Lady Is A Tramp"

"The Lady Is A Tramp"


I get too hungry for dinner at eight
I like the theatre but never come late
I never bother with people I hate
That's why the lady is a tramp

I like the crap games with barons and earls
Won't go to Harlem in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt with the rest of the girls
That's why the lady is a tramp

I like that cool fresh wind in my hair
Life without care
I'm broke, it's oke!
Hate california
It's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp

I get too hungry for dinner at eight

Won't dish the dirt with the rest of the girls

"The Land Of Make Believe"

"The Land Of Make Believe"


In the land of make believe
Each boy and girl receive
A bag of wishes and a star

In the world of fantasy
Your heart stays young and free
And no one cares how old you are
Every girl's a princess
All her skies are blue
Every boy Prince Charming
All their dreams come true

And in the land of make believe
Your heart remains naive
And no one ever says goodbye
So if somewhere you've misplaced
Those rainbows you once chased
Believe and close your eyes
And you'll find the land of make believe

In the land of make believe
Each boy and girl receive
A bag of wishes and a star

In the world of fantasy
Your heart stays young and free
And no one cares how old you are

Every girl's a princess
All her skies are blue
Every boy Prince Charming
All their dreams come true

And in the land of make believe
Your heart remains naive
And no one ever says goodbye

So if somewhere you've misplaced
Those rainbows you once chased
Believe and close your eyes
And you'll find the land of make believe

In the land of make believe
Close your eyes
In the land of make believe
In the land of make believe
Close your eyes

"The Only Time I'm Happy"

"The Only Time I'm Happy"


I just wanna be happy
To love and be loved by you

But the only time I'm happy
Is when I dream of you each night
Cause that's the only time
You hold me tight in my dreams
Is the only time your love is mine.

Each time you're near
Something happens to my heart
You make you feel so unwanted dear
And it pains my poor heart
If I could feel your sweet caress
Then I'd know true happiness.

But the only time I'm happy
Is when I dream of you each night
Cause that's the only time
You hold me tight in my dreams
Is the only time your love is mine.

To me you'll never have
Nothing kind or sweet to say
Than my whole day
To seem too sadly waste away
But when the day ends
All my happiness begins.

But the only time I'm happy
Is when I dream of you each night
Cause that's the only time
You hold me tightly in my dreams
Is the only time your love is mine.

Life pasts each day
Leaving loneliness in my heart
You make you feel so unneeded
And it hurts my poor heart
But there's nothing I'd rather do
Than to be happy loving you.

But the only time I'm happy
Is when I dream of you each night
Cause that's the only time
You hold me tightly in my dreams
Is the only time your love is mine.
