Nothing Rhymed
(gilbert osullivan)
If I give up this seat Ive been saving
To some elderly lady or man
Am I being a good girl?
Am I still your sweet pearl?
Mother please, if youre pleased, say I am
And if, while in the course of my duty,
I perform an unfortunate take
Would you punish me so, unbelievably so?
Never again would I make that mistake
This feeling inside me
Can never deny me
The right to be wrong if I choose
And the pleasure I get from, say,
Winning a bet
Is to lose
When Im drinking my bonaparte shandy
Eating more than enough apple pies
Would I glance in my screen
And see real human beings

Can I Get A Witness
(b. holland / l. dozier / e. holland)
Ah, listen everybody
Especially you guys
Is it right to be left alone
When the one you love is never home?
I love too hard
Yeah, my friends sometimes say
But I believe, oh I believe
That a boy should be loved that way
But it hurts me so inside
See him treat me so unkind
A-somebody, a-somewhere
Tell him it aint fair
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Somebody?
Is it right to be treated so bad?
When youve given everything you had
Keep on tossing in my sleep

Something In Your Eyes
(richard carpenter / p. phillips oland)
There was a certain face
That filled a thousand nights
With all the sweetest dreams
And promises of paradise
But that face was gone
When the dawn would come and steal you
Yet, I still could feel you
Waiting just a kiss away
Id surely know your face
Your love would cast a spell
Id recognise each curve and line of you,
I knew it well
Now at last youre here and I can tell
Something in your eyes I see
Is all I ever wanted
And something in your smile for me
Is calling out my name
Your eyes, it seems
Are mirrors of my dreams

Lost
(kenneth gamble / leon huff / jerry butler)
I was a sad and lonely girl
All alone in this big world, baby, (hey, baby) baby
Lost in a state of misery
Not a soul to comfort me, baby (hey, baby)
I couldnt find no help
Didnt know what to do with myself
Oh, I was standing in confusion
So badly disillusioned
When you wrapped your arms around me
I knew love had found me
I was lost, so long
But found in the nick of time
You know I was lost, so long
But found in the nick of time
Oh, I was lost
I thank the lord that you
Are the one who came to my rescue, baby, (hey, baby)
Thanks for me and this heart of mine
You came just in time, baby, baby (hey, baby)

Packin Up
(margie hendrix)
So if I give up (yes, Im packin up)
Movin out of the town (movin out of the town)
Packin up (yes, Im packin up)
Movin out of the town (movin out of the town)
Im not chained and Im no longer bound
Said if I get up (yes, Im packin up)
Movin out of the town (movin out of town)
Oh yeah (yes, Im packin up)
Movin out of the town (movin out of the town)
Im not chained and Im no longer bound
My suitcases ready
My clothes are too
And these are the things
You took me through
My friends told me
All about you
That men are evil
The things you do
And I keep on (Im not chained and Im no longer bound)

A Love Like Yours
(e. holland / l. dozier / b. holland)
I broke your heart
And I made you blue
Instead of hurting back
You said I love you
That very day you won my heart
And my love for you shall never part
You have such an understanding way
And I appreciate you need what I say
cause a love like yours dont come knock, knock, knock, knocking
Knock, knocking everyday
Although I treated you bad from the start
Without question you gave me your heart
No, a love like yours dont come knock, knock, knock, knocking
Knock, knocking everyday
Its the little things you do
Oh, that mean so much
So very, very much
(consideration), I never knew
That is, until I met you

Nothing Has Been Proved
(tennant / lowe)
Mandys in the papers cause she tried to go to spain
Shell soon be in the dock and in the papers once again
Vickis got her story about the mirror and the cane
It may be false, it may be true
But nothing has been proved
Stephens in his dressing-gown now, breakfasting alone
Too sick to eat, hes on his feet and to the telephone
The police inspector soothes him with his sympathetic tone
It may be false, it may be true
But nothing has been proved
In the house a resignation
Guilty faces, every one
Christines fallen out with lucky
Johnnys got a gun
Please please mes number one
(its a scandal! its a scandal! such a scandal!)
Now, stephens in the dock for spending money that was earned
By christine, and the prosecution says that money burned
A hole in stephens pocket, for expensive sins he yearned

Who Could Be Lovin You Other Than Me
(willie hutchinson)
Though you hold me the same old way
Your tenderness, oh, is fading fast
And i keep waiting, anticipating
Which moment you will choose to be our last
And i'll be left with nothing but the thought of you, oh
So clearly, i can see that day coming
And when you're resting in the arms of someone new
And i'll be running around and searching for you
Wondering where can you be?
Who could be loving you other than me?, baby, baby, baby
Where can you be?
Who could be loving you other than me?
You used to tell me, very, very much how much you loved me
And i could always depend on you
You needed a friend so i took you in
But i get the feelin' now that, darling, we're through
Now, i wish there was something i could say or try to do
But i'm afraid it would only make matters worse
I can feel your love fading for me

Where Is A Woman To Go
(jerry gillespie / k. t. oslin)
Do, da, do, da, do, da, do, da, day
Ahh, do, da, do, da, do, da, do, da, day
Maybe he was wrong, maybe I wasnt right
Whatever the reason Im on my own tonight
Hes gone his way and Ive gone mine
Well I bet you heat that story all the time
Well, sometimes your friends aint always available
To pick you up when youre feelin down, down, down, oh
My daddy would die if he knew his baby
Was seekin refuge in a little ol bar across town
So tell me where is a woman to go?
When shes feelin low and all she wants to do
Is feel a little better
Tell me where is a woman to go?
When shes feelin low and all she wants to do
Is feel a little better
Hey, bartender, honey gimme change for a ten-dollar bill
Bring it back as a stack of quarters, if you will
cause Im gonna play every song on your jukebox that makes me cry
