The other day, I posted something in another thread where I asked members what was the first word that popped into their head when they saw/heard the word "cheap"?
My first response was from
Whoknows and his reply was "perfume". That phrase, cheap perfume, made me instantly think of Journey's DON'T STOP BELIEVING. The post went in a different direction from what I planned but it was so much fun! Example, there were other responses to the word "cheap" that included shoddy, floozy and several more and
huxley999 was able to cite songs with those words in them!
Let's pick a RANDOM word and see if a song comes to mind. My guess is not every word will trigger a song to pop into our heads, but who knows. If you would kindly post a few lines of the song that reflects "the word", the name of the song and the artist and if you like, a YouTube link to the song. PLEASE ATTACH YOUR SONG TO THE PARTICULAR "WORD OF THE DAY".
Let's have some musical fun!

You ought to be
The star on a TV show
Then all the world would know
Why I love you so
You ought to be
A queen on a movie screen
Starring in every scene
Then they'd know what I mean
If you were a car you would be a big Jaguar
Racing along with the sun
If you were a song then the country would sing along
Baby, you'd be number one
If were the news
You'd be the latest
What I'm trying to say is
Baby, you're the GREATEST
You ought to be
The star on a TV show
Then all the world would know
Why I love you so
You ought to be
A queen on a movie screen
Starring in every scene
Then they'd know what I mean
If you were a car you would be a big Jaguar
Racing along with the sun
If you were a song then the country would sing along
Baby, you'd be number one
If were the news
You'd be the latest
What I'm trying to say is
Baby, you're the greatest
You ought to be
The star on a TV show
Then all the world would know
The magic of you
And they would love you too
But not half as much as I do
No, not half as much as I do
Standing at the limit of an endless ocean
Stranded like a runaway, lost at sea
City on a rainy day down in the harbour
Watching as the grey clouds shadow the bay
Looking everywhere 'cause I had to find you
This is not the way that I remember it here
Anyone will tell you its a prisoner island
Hidden in the summer for a million years
GREAT Southern Land, burned you black
So you look into the land and it will tell you a story
Story 'bout a journey ended long ago
Listen to the motion of the wind in the mountains
Maybe you can hear them talking like I do
". . they're gonna betray you, they're gonna forget you
Are you gonna let them take you over that way . ."
GREAT Southern Land, GREAT Southern Land
You walk alone, like a primitive man
And they make it work, with sticks and bones
See their hungry eyes, its a hungry home
I hear the sound of the stranger's voices
I see their hungry eyes, their hungry eyes
GREAT Southern Land, GREAT Southern Land
They burned you black, black against the ground
Standing at the limit of an endless ocean
Stranded like a runaway, lost at sea
City on a rainy day down in the harbour
Watching as the grey clouds shadow the bay
Looking everywhere 'cause I had to find you
This is not the way that I remember it here
Anyone will tell you its a prisoner island
Hidden in the summer for a million years
GREAT Southern Land, in the sleeping sun
You walk alone with the ghost of time
They burned you black, black against the ground
And they make it work with rocks and sand
I hear the sound of the stanger's voices
I see their hungry eyes, their hungry eyes
GREAT Southern Land, GREAT Southern Land
You walk alone, like a primitive man
You walk alone with the ghost of time
And they burned you black
Yeah, they burned you black
GREAT Southern Land

You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
Too much love drives a man insane
You broke my will, but what a thrill
Goodness gracious great balls of fire
I laughed at love when I thought it was funny
But you came along and you moved me honey
I've changed my mind, this love is fine
Goodness gracious great balls of fire
Kiss me baby, woo, it feels good
Hold me baby, ooh, yeah, you gonna love me like a lover should
You're fine, so kind, I'm gonna tell this world that you're mine! Mine! Mine! Mine!
I chew my nails, I twiddle my thumbs
I'm really nervous but it sure is fun
Come on baby, you drive me crazy
Goodness gracious great balls of fire
Ohhh, kiss me baby, woo-oooooo, feels good, yeah
Let me love you like a lover should.

I'm real nervous but it sure is fun
Come on baby, you drive me crazy

GREATEST Love of All by Whitney Houston
I believe the children are our are future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
And so I learned to depend on me
I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I'll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the GREATEST
Love of all is happening to me
I found the GREATEST
Love of all inside of me
The GREATEST love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the GREATEST love of all
I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I'll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the GREATEST
Love of all is happening to me
I found the GREATEST
Love of all inside of me
The GREATEST love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the GREATEST love of all
And if, by chance, that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love

Once in a lifetime - Anthony Newley

Just once in a lifetime
There's one special moment
One wonderful moment
When fate takes your hand
And this is the moment
My once in a lifetime
When I can explore
A new and exciting land
For once in my lifetime
I feel like a giant
I soar like an eagle
As tho' I had wings
For this is my moment
My destiny calls me
And tho' it may be just once in my lifetime
I'm gonna do great things
Just once in my lifetime
I feel like a giant
I soar like an eagle
As though I had wings
For this is my moment
My destiny calls me
And tho' it may be just once in my lifetime
I'm gonna do GREAT things
This is a fabulous medley performed live by Sonny and Cher

(There Is) No Greater Love
There is no greater love
Than what I feel for you
No sweeter song, no heart so true
There is no greater thrill
Than what you bring to me
No sweeter song
Than what you sing, sing to me
You're the sweetest thing
I have ever known
And to think that you…
RIP 2011
“This is the legend of Cassius Clay,
The most beautiful fighter in the world today.
He talks a great deal, and brags indeed-y,
of a muscular punch that's incredibly speed-y.
The fistic world was dull and weary,
But with a champ like Liston, things had to be dreary.
Then someone with color and someone with dash,
Brought fight fans are runnin' with Cash.
This brash young boxer is something to see
And the heavyweight championship is his des-tin-y.
This kid fights great; he’s got speed and endurance,
But if you sign to fight him, increase your insurance.
This kid's got a left; this kid's got a right,
If he hit you once, you're asleep for the night.
And as you lie on the floor while the ref counts ten,
You’ll pray that you won’t have to fight me again.
For I am the man this poem’s about,
The next champ of the world, there isn’t a doubt.
This I predict and I know the score,
I’ll be champ of the world in ’64.
When I say three, they’ll go in the third,
10 months ago
So don’t bet against me, I’m a man of my word.
He is the greatest! Yes!
I am the man this poem’s about,
I’ll be champ of the world, there isn’t a doubt.
Here I predict Mr. Liston’s dismemberment,
I’ll hit him so hard; he’ll wonder where October and November went.
When I say two, there’s never a third,
Standin against me is completely absurd.
When Cassius says a mouse can outrun a horse,
Don’t ask how; put your money where your mouse is!
I AM THE GREATEST!”
Eddie waited till he finished high school
He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo
He met a girl out there with a tattoo too
The future was wide open
They moved into a place they both could afford
He found a nightclub, he could work at the door
She had a guitar and she taught him some chords
The sky was the limit
Into the GREAT wide open
Under them skies of blue
Out in the GREAT wide open
A rebel without a clue
The papers said, Ed always played from the heart
He got an agent and a roadie named Bart
They made a record and it went in the charts
The sky was the limit
His leather jacket had chains that would jingle
They both met movie stars, partied and mingled
Their A and R man said, "I don't hear a single"
The future was wide open
Into the GREAT wide open
Under them skies of blue
Out in the GREAT wide open
A rebel without a clue
Into the GREAT wide open
Under them skies of blue
Into the GREAT wide open
A rebel without a clue

I go out walkin' after MIDNIGHT
Out in the moonlight
Just like we used to do, I'm always walkin'
After MIDNIGHT, searchin' for you (wa-wa-walking, wa-wa-walking)
I walk for miles along the highway
Well, that's just my way
Of sayin' I love you, I'm always walkin'
After MIDNIGHT, searchin' for you (wa-wa-walking, wa-wa-walking)
I stop to see a weepin' willow
Cryin' on his pillow
Maybe he's cryin' for me
And as the skies turn gloomy
Night winds whisper to me
I'm lonesome as I can be
I go out walkin' after MIDNIGHT
Out in the moonlight
Just hopin' you may be somewhere a-walkin'
After MIDNIGHT, searchin' for me (Wa-wa-walking, wa-wa-walking)
I stop to see a weepin' willow
Cryin' on his pillow
Maybe he's cryin' for me
And as the skies turn gloomy
Night winds whisper to me
I'm lonesome as I can be
I go out walkin' after MIDNIGHT
Out in the moonlight
Just hopin' you may be somewhere a-walkin'
After MIDNIGHT, searchin' for me (wa-wa-walking, wa-ooh-ah)

I can't get my feet up off the edge
I kinda like the little rush you get
When you're standing close to death
Like when you're driving me crazy
Hold on as we crash into the earth
A bit of pain will help us suffer when you're hurt
For real 'cause you were driving me crazy
Bite your lips, your word's a robbery
Do you grin inside, you're killing me
All along we talked of forever
I kinda think that we won't get better
It's the longest start, but the end is not too far away
Did you know, I'm here to stay
We'll stagger home after MIDNIGHT
Sleep arm-in-arm in the stairwell
We'll fall apart on the weekend
These nights go on and on and on
I can't keep your voice out of my head
All I hear are the many echoes of
The darkest words you said
And it's driving me crazy
I can't find the best in all of this
But I'm always looking out for you
'Cause you're the one I miss
And it's driving me crazy
Bite your lips, your word's a robbery
Do you grin inside, you're killing me
All along we talked of forever
I kinda think that we won't get better
It's the longest start, but the end's not too far away
Did you know, I'm here to stay
We'll stagger home after MIDNIGHT
Sleep arm-in-arm in the stairwell
We'll fall apart on the weekend
These nights go on and on and on
We'll stagger home after MIDNIGHT
Sleep arm-in-arm in the stairwell
We'll fall apart on the weekend
These nights go on and on and on
We'll stagger home after MIDNIGHT
Sleep arm-in-arm in the stairwell
We'll fall apart on the weekend
These nights go on and on and on
We'll stagger home after MIDNIGHT
Sleep arm-in-arm in the stairwell
We'll fall apart on the weekend
These nights go on and on and on

Half past twelve
Watchin' the late show
In my flat all alone
How I hate to spend the evening on my own
Autumn winds blowin' outside the window
As I look around the room
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after MIDNIGHT
Won't somebody help me
Chase the shadows away
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness
To the break of the day
Movie stars
On end of the rainbow
With a fortune to win
It's so different from the world I'm living in
Tired of TV
I open the window
And I gaze into the night
But there's nothing there to see no one in sight
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me
Chase the shadows away
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness
To the break of the day
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me
Chase the shadows away
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness
To the break of the day
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me
Chase the shadows away
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness
To the break of the day
Last night a little dancer came dancin' to my door
Last night a little angel Came pumpin cross my floor
She said "Come on baby I got a license for love
And if it expires pray help from above"
In the MIDNIGHT hour she cried more, more, more
With a rebel yell she cried more, more, more
In the MIDNIGHT hour babe more, more, more
With a rebel yell more, more, more
More, more, more
She don't like slavery, she won't sit and beg
But when I'm tired and lonely she sees me to bed
What set you free and brought you to be me babe
What set you free I need you hear by me
Because
In the MIDNIGHT hour she cried more, more, more
With a rebel yell she cried more, more, more
In the MIDNIGHT hour babe more, more, more
With a rebel yell more, more, more
He lives in his own heaven
Collects it to go from the seven eleven
Well he's out all night to collect a fare
Just so long, just so long it don't mess up his hair
I walked the ward with you, babe
A thousand miles with you
I dried your tears of pain, babe
A million times for you
I'd sell my soul for you babe
For money to burn with you
I'd give you all, and have none, babe
Just, just, justa, justa to have you here by me
Because
In the MIDNIGHT hour she cried more, more, more
With a rebel yell she cried more, more, more
In the MIDNIGHT hour babe more, more, more
With a rebel yell she cried more, more, more
More, more, more
Oh yeah little baby
She want more
More, more, more, more, more
Oh yeah little baby
She want more
More, more, more, more

Well, you wake up in the mornin', you hear the work bell ring
And they march you to the table, you see the same old thing
Ain't no food upon the table, and no pork up in the pan
But you better not complain, boy, you get in trouble with the man
Let the MIDNIGHT Special shine a light on me
Let the MIDNIGHT Special shine a light on me
Let the MIDNIGHT Special shine a light on me
Let the MIDNIGHT Special shine a ever lovin' light on me
Yonder come miss Rosie, how in the world did you know?
By the way she wears her apron, and the clothes she wore
Umbrella on her shoulder, piece of paper in her hand
She come to see the governor, she want to free her man
Let the MIDNIGHT Special shine a light on me
Let the MIDNIGHT Special shine a light on me
Let the MIDNIGHT Special shine a light on me
Let the MIDNIGHT Special shine a ever lovin' light on me
If you're ever in Houston, well, you better do the right
You better not gamble, there, you better not fight, at all
Or the sheriff will grab ya and the boys will bring you down
The next thing you know, boy, oh, you're prison bound

Let the MIDNIGHT Special shine a light on me
Let the MIDNIGHT Special shine a light on me

Maybe it's too late. sometimes I even hate myself for loving you
Trying to be strong then nighttime comes along and I start loving you
Wanting you. where is all my self control I'm burning way down in my soul
And needing you, and wishing I could be the man, I try to
Hating me for wanting you to be with you knowing you don't love me like you used to
But it's MIDNIGHT, ohh and I miss you
It's getting late and I know that's when I am weak
Funny how things have a way of looking so much brighter in the day light
I ought to go to bed to try and straighten out my head and just forget you
Oh but it's MIDNIGHT yes and I miss you
It's getting late and I know that's when I am weak
Funny how things have a way of looking so much brighter in the day light

Hey Ricky, now mine is empty, how about one for you
We could sell it out together, seems tomorrow's overdue
Captain Video, done went home, one pilot laid to rest
And dragon ladies now talk that talk, about who loves who, who loves best

I came by myself to a very crowded place
I was looking for someone who had lines in her face
I found her there but she was past all concern
I asked her to hold me, I said, "Lady, unfold me"
But she scorned me and she told me
I was dead and I could never return
Well, I argued all night like so many have before
Saying, "Whatever you give me, I seem to need so much more"
Then she pointed at me where I kneeled on her floor
She said, "Don't try to use me or slyly refuse me,
Just win me or lose me, it is this that the darkness is for"
I cried, "Oh, Lady Midnight, I fear that you grow old,
The stars eat your body and the wind makes you cold"
"If we cry now" She said, "It will just be ignored"
So I walked through the morning, sweet early morning
I could hear my lady calling, "You've won me, you've won me, my Lord"
"You've won me, you've won me, my Lord
Yes, you've won me, you've won me, my Lord
Ah, you've won me, you've won me, my Lord
Ah, you've won me"
Here is a link for 'Lady Midnight'

Kill for gain or shoot to maim
But we don't need a reason
The golden goose is on the loose
And never out of season
Some blackened pride still burns inside
This shell of bloody treason
Here's my gun for a barrel of fun
For the love of living death.
Chorus
The killer's breed or the demon's seed,
The glamour, the fortune, the pain,
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain,
But don't you pray for my soul anymore.
2 minutes to midnight
The hands that threaten doom.
2 minutes to midnight
To kill the unborn in the womb.
The blind men shout let the creatures out
We'll show the unbelievers
The napalm screams of human flames
Of a prime time belsen feast... yeah!
As the reasons for the carnage cut their meat and lick the gravy,
We oil the jaws of the war machine and feed it with our babies.
Chorus
The body bags and little rags of children torn in two
And the jellied brains of those who remain to put the finger right on you.
As the madmen play on words and make us all dance to their song,
To the tune of starving millions to make a better kind of gun.
Chorus
Midnight... all night...

Pretend you're happy WHEN you're blue
It isn't very hard to do
And you will find happiness without
An end if you pretend
Remember anyone can dream
And nothin's bad as it may seem
The little things you haven't got could be
A lot if you pretend
You'll find a love you can share
One you can call your own
Just close your eyes you'll be there
You'll never be alone
And if you sing this melody
You'll be pretending just like me
The world is mine it can be yours my friend
So why don't you pretend
You'll find a love you can share
One you can call your own
Just close your eyes you'll be there
You'll never be alone
And if you sing this melody
You'll be pretending just like me
The world is mine it can be yours my friend
So why don't you pretend
So why don't you pretend
So why don't you pretend
So why don't you pretend
WHEN I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you
It's only a heartbeat away
WHEN I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day
Miles and miles of empty space in between us
The telephone can't take the place of your smile
But you know I won't be travelin' forever
It's cold out but hold out and do I like I do
WHEN I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you babe
It's only a heartbeat away
It's not easy when the road is your driver
Honey that's a heavy load that we bear
But you know I won't be travelin' a lifetime
It's cold out but hold out and do like I do
Oh, I need you
WHEN I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day
WHEN I need you
I just close my eyes
And you're right here by my side
Keeping me warm night and day
I just hold out my hands
I just hold out my hand
And I'm with you darlin'
Yes, I'm with you darlin'
All I want to give you
It's only a heartbeat away
Oh, I need you darling

WHEN a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothing else
He'll trade the world
For the good thing he's found
If she's bad he can't see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend
If he put her down
When a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
Trying to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all his comfort
Sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way it ought to be
Well, this man loves a woman
I gave you everything I had
Trying to hold on to your precious love
Baby, please don't treat me bad
When a man loves a woman
Down deep in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she plays him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Loving eyes can't ever see
When a man loves a woman
He can do no wrong
He can never own some other girl
Yes when a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels
'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're my world
When a man loves a woman
Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing craze
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!
Why, WHEN he was a young warthog
WHEN I was a young wart-hoooog!
Very nice!
Thanks!
He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal
He could clear the Savannah after every meal
I'm a sensitive soul, though I seem thick-skinned
And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind
And oh, the shame
(He was ashamed!)
Thought of changin' my name
(Oh, what's in a name?)
And I got downhearted
(How did you feel?)
Every time that I-
Pumbaa! Not in front of the kids!
Oh... sorry
Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing craze
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
Yeah, sing it, kid!

Whoa oh ah, whoa oh ah

To her

Tonight

I got a whole lot of things to tell her
When I get home
When I'm getting home tonight
I'm gonna hold her tight
I'm gonna love her 'til the cows come home
I bet I'll love her more
'Til I walk out that door again
Come on, let me through
I got so many things I gotta do
I got no business being here with you
This way
Whoa oh ah, whoa oh ah
I got a whole lot of things to tell her
When I get home, yeah
I've got a whole lot of things to tell her
When I get home
If I were your woman
And you were my man
You'd have no other woman
You'd be weak as a lamb
If you had the strength
To walk out that door
My love would overrule my sense
And I'd call you back for more
If I were your woman
(If you were my woman)
If I were your woman
(If you were my woman)
And you were my man
Mmm yeah
She tears you down, darling
Says you're nothing at all
But I'll pick you up, darling
WHEN she lets you fall
You're like a diamond
But she treats you like glass
Yet you beg her to love you
But me you don't ask
If I were your woman
(If you were my woman)
If I were your woman
If you were my woman
(If I were your woman)
If you were my woman
Here's what I'd do
I'd never no, no stop loving you
Yeah, yeah, mmm
Life is so crazy and love is unkind
Because she came first, darling
Will she hang on your mind?
You're a part of me
And you don't even know it
I'm what you need
But I'm too afraid to show it
If I were your woman
(If you were my woman)
If I were your woman
(If I were your woman)
If you were my woman
(If you were my woman)
Here's what I'd do
I'd never no, no stop loving you
Oh yeah, if I were your woman

I'd never, never, never stop loving you
If I were your woman
You're sweet loving woman
You'd need no other woman
If you were my woman
If I were your woman

Here's what I'd do

"Back a few months ago, I was headlinin' a great big nightclub
And they put me up a couple days early, I came in a couple days early
And they put me up in what they call the "Star Suite"
Now here I am, headlinin' in one of the biggest nightclubs
In the country and I wake up at eight o'clock in the morning
In this "Star Suite" all by myself"
"Awwww"
"Yeah, that's what I said, "Awwwww."
"But I did what I've always done, man, to cheer myself up
I picked up my guitar, I sat down and I wrote me a little song
Now this is how it feels to be alone at the top of the hill
Tryin' to figure out why"
Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
WHEN you're perfect in every way
I can't wait to look in the mirror
Cause I get better looking each day
To know me is to love me
I must be a hell of a man
Oh Lord It's hard to be humble,
But I'm doing the best that I can
I used to have a girlfriend,
But I guess she just couldn't compete,
With all of these love-starved women,
Who keep cowering at my feet
Oh I probably could find me another,
But I guess they're all in awe of me
Who cares?
I never get lonesome
Cause I treasure my own company
Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
When you're perfect in every way
(I can't wait to look in the mirror)
I can't wait to look in the mirror
(Help me out now! Come on)
I get better looking each day
(To know me is to what?)
To know me is to love me
(Must be a hell of man)
I must be a hell of a man
(Oh Lord It's hard)
Oh Lord It's hard to be humble,
(When you're doing what?)
We're doing the best that we can
I guess you could say I'm a loner
A cowboy out lone, tough, and proud
I could have lots of friends if I wanted
But then I wouldn't stand out from the crowd
Some folks say that I'm egotistical
Hell I don't even know what that means
I guess it has something to do
With the way that I fill out my skin tight with jeans
Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
(When you're perfect in every way)
When you're perfect in every way
(Can't wait to look in the mirror)
I can't wait to look in the mirror
('Cause I get better looking)
I get better looking each day
(To know me is to what?)
To know me is to love me
(Must be a hell of man)
I must be a hell of a man
(Oh Lord It's hard)
Oh Lord It's hard to be humble,
(What are we doing?)
We're doing the best that we can
We're doing the best that we can
Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now
Our song on the radio but it don't sound the same
WHEN our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down
'Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name
It all just sounds like ooh, ooh ooh hoo hoo
Mm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should have bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should have gave you all my hours
WHEN I had the chance
Take you to every party 'cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing
But she's dancing with another man
My pride, my ego, my needs, and my selfish ways
Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life
Now I never, never get to clean up the mess I made, oh
And it haunts me every time I close my eyes
It all just sounds like ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Mm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should have bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should have gave you all my hours
WHEN I had the chance
Take you to every party 'cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing
But she's dancing with another man
Although it hurts
I'll be the first to say that I was wrong
Oh, I know I'm probably much too late
To try and apologize for my mistakes
But I just want you to know
I hope he buys you flowers
I hope he holds your hand
Give you all his hours
WHEN he has the chance
Take you to every party
'Cause I remember how much you loved to dance
Do all the things I should have done
WHEN I was your man
Do all the things I should have done
WHEN I was your man

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat
But always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small
WHEN you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes
I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And WHEN you get the choice to sit it out or dance
[Chorus:]
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances
But they're worth taking
Loving might be a mistake
But it's worth making
Don't let some Hell-bent heart leave you bitter
WHEN you come close to selling out
Reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And WHENyou get the choice to sit it out or dance
[Chorus:]
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a wheel in constant motion
Always rolling us along
Tell me who wants to look back on their years
And wonder where those years have gone)
[Bridge:]
I hope you still feel small
WHEN you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes

Dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a wheel in constant motion
Always rolling us along
Tell me who wants to look back on their years
And wonder where those years have gone)

It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I'll find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
You know I work all day to get you money to buy you things
And it's worth it just to hear you say you're going to give me everything
So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone
You know I feel ok
When I'm home everything seems to be right
When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah
It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I'll find the things that you do

You know I feel ok
When I'm home everything seems to be right
When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah

It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I'll find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
You know I feel alright
You know I feel alright
What have I got to do to make you love me
What have I got to do to make you care
What do I do when lightning strikes me
And I wake to find that you're not there?
What have I got to do to make you want me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I say when it's all over?
And sorry seems to be the HARDEST word
It's sad, so sad (so sad)
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad, so sad (so sad)
Why can't we talk it over?
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the HARDEST word
It's sad, so sad (so sad)
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad, so sad (so sad)
Why can't we talk it over?
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the HARDEST word
What have I do to make you love me, oh
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I do when lightning strikes me
What have I got to do?
What have I got to do?
When sorry seems to be the HARDEST word

Well a HARD headed woman
A soft hearted man
Been the cause of trouble
Ever since the world began
Oh yeah, ever since the world began
A HARD headed woman been
A thorn in the side of man
Now Adam told to Eve
Listen here to me
Don't you let me catch you
Messing round that apple tree
Oh yeah, ever since the world began
A HARD headed woman been
A thorn in the side of man.
Ever since the world began
A HARD headed woman
Now Samson told Delilah
Loud and clear,
Keep your cotton picking fingers
Out my curly hair
Oh yeah, ever since the world began
A HARD headed woman been
A thorn in the side of man
I heard about a king
Who was doing swell
Till he started playing
With that evil Jezebel.
Oh yeah, ever since the world began
A HARD headed woman been a thorn in the side of man
I got a woman
A head like a rock
If she ever went away
I'd cry around the clock
Oh yeah, ever since the world began
A HARD headed woman, been a thorn in the side of man
A HARD headed woman been a thorn in the side of man
It's getting to the point where I'm no fun anymore
I am sorry
Sometimes it hurts so badly I must cry out loud
I am lonely
I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
You make it HARD
Remember what we've said and done and felt about each other
Oh, babe have mercy
Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now
I am not dreaming
I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
You make it HARD
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Tearing yourself away from me now you are free
And I am crying
This does not mean I don't love you I do that's forever
Yes and for always
I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
You make it HARD
Something inside is telling me that I've got your secret
Are you still listening?
Fear is the lock and laughter the key to your heart
And I love you
I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are
You make it HARD
And you make it HARD
And you make it HARD
And you make it HARD
Friday evening
Sunday in the afternoon
What have you got to lose?
Tuesday morning
Please be gone I'm tired of you
What have you got to lose?
Can I tell it like it is? (Help me I'm sufferin')
Listen to me baby
It's my heart that's a sufferin' it's a dyin' (Help me I'm dyin')
And that's what I have to lose (To lose)
I've got an answer
I'm going to fly away
What have I got to lose?
Will you come see me
Thursdays and Saturdays?
What have you got to lose?
Chestnut-brown canary
Ruby-throated sparrow
Sing a song, don't be long
Thrill me to the marrow
Voices of the angels
Ring around the moonlight
Asking me said she so free
How can you catch the sparrow?

Losing-love lamenting
Change my life, make it right
Be my lady

La reina de la Mar Caribe
Quiero sólo visitarla allí
Y que triste que no puedo.
¡Vaya!
O Va! O Va!

Don't it feel like the wind is always howlin?
Don't it seem like there's never any light??
Once a day, don't you wanna throw the towel in?
It's easier than puttin' up a fight
No one's there when your dreams at night get creepy
No one cares if you grow... or if you shrink
Empty belly life!
Rotten smelly life!
Full of sorrow life!
No tomorrow life!
Santa Claus we never see...
Santa Claus what's that? Who's he?
No one cares for you a bit
When you're a foster kid
It's the HARD knock life

How can people be so heartless
How can people be so cruel
Easy to be HARD
Easy to be cold
How can people have no feelings
How can they ignore their friends
Easy to be proud
Easy to say no
Especially people who care about strangers
Who care about evil and social injustice
Do you only care about being proud
How about I need a friend, I need a friend
How can people be so heartless
You know I'm hung up on you
Easy to be proud
Easy to say no
Especially people who care about strangers
Who care about evil and social injustice
Do you only care about being proud
How about I need a friend, I need a friend
How can people be so heartless
How can people be so cruel
Easy to be proud, easy to say no
Easy to be gone, easy to say no
Come on, easy to get read
Easy to say no
But too easy to be cold
Easy to say no
But too easy to say no

Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, where have you been, my darling young one?
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard
And it's a HARD, and it's a HARD, it's a HARD, and it's a HARD
And it's a HARD rain's a-gonna fall
Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, what did you see, my darling young one?
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin'
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin'
I saw a white ladder all covered with water
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children
And it's a HARD, and it's a HARD, it's a HARD, it's a HARD
And it's a HARD rain's a-gonna fall
And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
And what did you hear, my darling young one?
I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin'
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin'
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
And it's a HARD, and it's a HARD, it's a HARD, it's a HARD
And it's a HARD rain's a-gonna fall
Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed son?
Who did you meet, my darling young one?
I met a young child beside a dead pony
I met a white man who walked a black dog
I met a young woman whose body was burning
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow
I met one man who was wounded in love
I met another man who was wounded with hatred
And it's a HARD, it's a HARD, it's a HARD, it's a HARD
It's a HARD rain's a-gonna fall
Oh, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, what'll you do now, my darling young one?
I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin'
I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
Where the executioner's face is always well-hidden
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten
Where black is the color, where none is the number
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin'
But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
And it's a HARD, it's a HARD, it's a HARD, it's a HARD
It's a HARD rain's a-gonna fall

Well, my daddy left home when I was three
And he didn't leave much to ma and me
Just this old guitar and a empty bottle of booze
Now, I don't blame him 'cause he run and hid
But the meanest thing that he ever did
Was before he left, he went and named me Sue
Well, he musta thought that was quite a joke
And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk
It seems I had to fight my whole life through
Some gal would giggle and I'd get red
And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head
I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named Sue
Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean
My fist got HARD and my wits got keen
I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame
But I made me a vow to the moon and stars
I'd search the honkytonks and bars
And kill that man that give me that awful name
Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid July
And I just hit town and my throat was dry
I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew
At an old saloon on a street of mud
There at a table, dealin' stud
Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me Sue
Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
From a worn out picture that my mother'd had
And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye
He was big and bent, and gray and old
And I looked at him, and my blood ran cold
And I said, "My name is Sue! How do you do?
Now you gonna die"
Yeah! That's what I told him
Well, I hit him HARD right between the eyes
And he went down, but to my surprise
He come up with a knife, and cut off a piece of my ear
But I busted a chair right across his teeth
And we crashed through the wall and into the street
Kickin' and a' gougin' in the mud and the blood and the beer
I tell ya, I've fought tougher men
But I really can't remember when
He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile
I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss
And he went for his gun and I pulled mine first
He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile
And he said, "Son, this world is rough
And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough
And I know I wouldn't be there to help you along
So I give you that name and I said goodbye
I knew you'd have to get tough or die
And it's that name that helped to make you strong"
Yeah, he said, "Now you just fought one hell of a fight
And I know you hate me, and you got the right
To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do
But you oughtta thank me, before I die
For the gravel in your guts and the spit in the eye
'Cause I'm the son of-a bitch that named you Sue
Yeah, what could I do? What could I do?
I got all choked up and I threw down my gun
I called him my pa, and he called me his son
And I come away with a different point of view
And I think about him now and then
Every time I try and every time I win
And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him
Bill or George any damn thing but Sue
I still hate that name
Yeah
Robey: One night in Bangkok
Bangkok, Oriental setting
And the city don't know
What the city is getting
The creme de la creme
Of the chess world
In a show with everything
But Yul Brynner
Time flies, doesn't seem a minute
Since the Tirolean spa
Had the chess boys in it
All change, don't you know that
When you play at this level
There's no ordinary venue
It's Iceland or the Philippines
Or Hastings, or, or this place
(CHORUS)
One night in Bangkok
And the world's your oyster
The bars are temples
But the pearls ain't free
You'll find a god in
Every golden cloister
And if you're lucky
Then the god's a she
I can feel an angel
Sliding up to me
One town's very like another
When your head's down
Over your pieces, brother
It's a drag, it's a bore
It's really such a pity
To be looking at the board
Not looking at the city
Waddaya mean
You seen one crowded
Polluted, stinking town
Tea, girls, warm amd sweet
Some are set up in the
Somerset Maugham suite
Get Thai'd
You're talking to a tourist
Whose every move's
Among the purest
I get my kicks above
The waistline, sunshine
One night in Bangkok
Makes a HARD man humble
Not much between
Despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok
And the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful
With your company
I can feel the devil
Walking next to me
Siam's gonna be the witness
To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
This grips me more than would a
Muddy old river or reclining Buddha
And thank God I'm only
Watching the game, controlling it
I don't see you guys rating
The kind of mate I'm contemplating
I'd let you watch, I would invite you
But the queens we use
Would not excite you
So you better go back to your bars
Your temples, your massage parlors
One night in Bangkok
And the world's your oyster
The bars are temples
But the pearls ain't free
You'll find a god in
Every golden cloister
A little flesh, a little history
I can feel an angel sliding up to me
One night in Bangkok
Makes a HARD man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok
And the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me
She works HARD for the money
So HARD for it, honey
She works HARD for the money
So you better treat her right
She works HARD for the money
So HARD for it, honey
She works HARD for the money
So you better treat her right
I met her there in the corner stand
And she wonders where she is and
It's strange to her
Some people seem to have everything
Nine a.m. on the hour hand
And she's waiting for the bell
And she's looking real pretty
Just waiting for her clientele
She works HARD for the money
So HARD for it, honey
She works HARD for the money
So you better treat her right
She works HARD for the money
So HARD for it, honey
She works HARD for the money
So you better treat her right
Twenty-eight years have come and gone
And she's seen a lot of tears
Of the ones who come in
They really seem to need her there
It's a sacrifice working day to day
For little money, just tips for pay
But it's worth it all
To hear them say that they care
She works HARD for the money
So HARD for it, honey
She works HARD for the money
So you better treat her right
Already knows
She's seen her bad times
Already knows
These are the good times
She'll never sell out
She never will
Not for a dollar bill
She works HARD
She works HARD for the money
So HARD for it, honey
She works HARD for the money
So you better treat her right
HARD for the money
So HARD for it, honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
(Alright)
She works HARD for the money
(HARD, HARD, HARD for the money)
So HARD for it, honey
(Hard, hard, hard for it, honey)
She works HARD for the money
So you better treat her right
She works HARD for the money
(HARD, HARD, HARD for the money)
So HARD for it, honey
(HARD, HARD, HARD for it, honey)
