One Man Woman
(james taylor)
Well its plain as rain
And its there for all the world to see
Just cause everybody does it
That doesnt make it right for me
Someone is making plans
Involvin my old man
Everytime I turn by back around
Feelin like a one man woman
Living in a two time town
Now the place I come from
People dont grow on trees
And you cant treat people like meat
Without getting brought to your knees
Now and then
The way Ive been feeling
Since I hit this town
Like to jump in the river and drown
Feeling like a one man woman
Living in a two time town

You Know What To Do
(carly simon/jacob brackman)
The night is filled with pretty girls
Dancing shoes and flying hair
Not one of them would refuse
To follow you up the stairs
You could have your pick of them
Why decide to pick on me
You promised me youd stay away
You promised me youd set me free
Pounding of my heart
Trembling of my hands
Somethings Ill just never understand
Chorus:
You know what to do to me
You know what it does to me
You know what to do to me
You know what it does to me
You know what to do
The night is filled with shooting stars
I watch them fall cause I cant sleep

The Night Before Christmas
(carly simon)
Children carry through the streets
A brilliant painted star
Angels gather round the hearth
Strumming on guitars
Men of great renown and faith
Say prayers on boulevards
Its the night before christmas
But you dont have to be an angel
To sing harmony
And you dont have to be a child
To love the mystery
And you dont have to be a wise man
On bended knee
The heart of this christmas is in you and me
The night before christmas
The night before christmas
If youre hearts been longing
And youve been afraid to try
Sorrows kept you company

Anyone But Me
(simon/baker/kimball)
Straight from the hall of fame
One of the worlds great lovers
Darling youre not to blame
Im just sorry that youve been discovered
When I look in you eyes
I know hundreds of girls have been there
I tried to be civilized
And pretend I dont care
Take me away, burn out the past
And hold me
To calm my jealousy
Hold me
Forget your history
I need you to show me
Well be like adam and eve
That you love me
I wish you had never loved anyone but me
Breathless and overcome
Knowin? my desire is showing

Touched By The Sun
(carly simon)
If you want to be brave
And reach for the top of the sky
And the farthest point on the horizon
Do you know who youll meet there
Great soldiers and seafarers,
Artists and dreamers
Who need to be close, close to the light
They need to be in danger of burning by fire
And i, I want to get there
I, I want to be one
One who is touched by the sun,
One who is touched by the sun
Often I want to walk
The safe side of the street
And lull myself to sleep
And dull my pain
But deep down inside I know
Ive got to learn from the greats,
Earn my right to be living,

The Right Thing To Do
(carly simon)
Theres nothin you can do to turn me away
Nothin anyone can say
Youre with me now and as long as you stay
Lovin yous the right thing to do
Lovin yous the right thing
I know youve had some bad luck with ladies before
They drove you or you drove them crazy
But more important is I know youre the one and Im sure
Lovin yous the right thing to do
Lovin yous the right thing
And it used to be for a while
That the river flowed right to my door
Making me just a little too free
But now the river doesnt seem to stop here anymore
Hold me in your hands like a bunch of flowers
Set me movin to your sweetest song
And I know what I think Ive known all along
Lovin yous the right thing to do
Lovin yous the right thing

Share The End
(carly simon/jacob brackman)
Here come the priests, each one wailing and bemoaning
Lordy, they got their heads bowed down
Here come the madmen, theyre too excited for atoning:
Burn the mosque, theyre shouting, burn it down!
Save me a place, surround me with friendly faces
All of us have gathered here to share the end -
To watch the world go up in flames
Please, lord were not ready
Give us a day
Give us an hour...
Here come the kings, lets dispense with their apologizing
Just bring on the acrobats and clowns
Here comes the rumble, hang on for universal dying
Please ignore the baying of the hounds
Save me a place, surround me with deadly faces
All of us have gathered here to share the end -
To watch the world go up in flames
Please, lord were not ready
Give us some time to work things out...

Misfit
(carly simon)
There are plenty of late nights
If you want to stay up for them
Youll just want to find yourself a friend
And tie a couple on in a night spot
Draw pictures of your soul, win the jackpot
For tears in your beer
Its hip to be miserable when youre young and intellectual
In a bit youll admit youre a misfit
Comeon home with me
Well turn on the tv
About 10 oclock well turn off the light
Not every man was born to stay up late at night
Tere are plenty of boats to catch
If you notice all the sails in the wind
But you better look hard my friend
In case you catch a ride on the wrong one
In the distance is the one you belong on
Oh the water is wide
Its hipe to be miserable when youre young and intellectual

Just Not True
(carly simon)
You stick to me when I wish you gone
You hammer on my thoughts through dreams
Your plot is thick with saucy schemes
And ways to reach my balconies
But I say Im not turned on by the way you look
I say Im not turned on by the way you act
Im not turned on when you tell me that you need me
But sometimes, just sometimes
You can see the softness in my eyes
And you know, its just not true
Youre in my blood, a holy ghost
I scream, but its a hollow plea
The thoughts I swallow leave me thirsty
You do a very fine imitation of me
And I say Im not turned on by the way you laugh
Im not turned on by the way you smile
Im not turned on when you tell me that you love me
But sometimes, just sometimes
You can see the softness in my eyes

Pure Sin
(carly simon/frank carillo)
I can barely see your sneakers
You say I got to keep my head down
Youre painting my portrait
In a red velvet gown
How do you see me
As demure and discreet?
But do you know what Ill do
Do you know what Ill do
When I go out on the street?
Pure sin, pure sin
The kind you wont mind
The kind there could be trouble in
I can barely see your sneakers
You know they look pretty rough
Well I bet when you get loaded
You can get pretty tough
You pass me the caviar
Say hey baby do you want something to eat?
But do you know what Ill do
