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!

The shooting stars are coming out of your eyes
They point the way, the way to paradise
I got a funny feeling, I can't be wrong
It won't be long until the sparks will fly
It won't be long
I hear a buzz, buzz around in my brain
But what it does, is bound to drive me insane
At a time like this I must be strong
It won't be long till the sky falls down
It won't be long
Love has taught me plenty, I'm still learning more
Anything worth having is worth the waiting for
Here I go, I'm on a one way trip
Look out BELOW because I'm about to flip
I tell you when these lips get to that kiss
It won't be long until we're out of this world
It won't be long
Love has taught me plenty, I'm still learning more
Anything worth having is worth the waiting for
Here I go, I'm on a one way trip
Look out below because I'm about to flip
I tell you when these lips get to that kiss
It won't be long, it won't be long until we're out of this world
It won't be long
It won't be long, it won't be long until we're out of this world
It won't be long
It came to me in a flash driving home tonight. But this was a real toughie.

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell BELOW us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today... Aha-ah...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace... You...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world... You...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

It's a long lonely highway when you're travellin' all alone
And it's a mean old world when you got no one to call your own
And you pass through towns too small to even have a name, oh yes
But you gotta keep on goin', on that road to nowhere
Gotta keep on goin', though there's no one to care
Just keep movin' down the line
It's a long lonely highway without her by my side
And it's a trail full of teardrops that keep on being cried
My heart's so heavy it's a LOW down dirty shame oh yes
You gotta keep on goin', on that road to nowhere
Gotta keep on goin', though there's no one to care
Just keep movin' down the line
I gotta rock for my pillow 'neath a weeping willow
And the cool grass for my bed
My drinking water's muddy so don't you tell me buddy
That I wouldn't be better off dead
It's a long lonely highway gettin' longer all the time
And if she don't come and get me
Well, I'm gonna lose my mind
So if you read about me tell her she's the one to blame, oh yes
You gotta keep on goin', on that road to nowhere
Gotta keep on goin', though there's no one to care
Just keep movin' down the line
This is a really tricky word.
Blame it all on my roots
I showed up in boots
And ruined your black tie affair
The last one to know
The last one to show
I was the last one
You thought you'd see there
And I saw the surprise
And the fear in his eyes
When I took his glass of champagne
And I toasted you
Said, honey, we may be through
But you'll never hear me complain
'Cause I've got friends in LOW places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in LOW places
Well, I guess I was wrong
I just don't belong
But then, I've been there before
Everything's all right
I'll just say goodnight
And I'll show myself to the door
Hey, I didn't mean
To cause a big scene
Just give me an hour and then
Well, I'll be as high
As that ivory tower
That you're livin' in
'Cause I've got friends in LOW places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in LOW places
'Cause I got friends in LOW places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
Well, I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I got friends in LOW places
'Cause I got friends in LOW places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
Well, I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I got friends in LOW places
'Cause I got friends in LOW places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
Well, I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the Oasis

STAY AWAY - Elvis
only registered users can see external links
Ten thousand miles even though I roam
I can hear the call of the hills of home
The canyons high and the valleys LOW
Echo "how can you stay away"
My dreams are there where the eagle flies
Where the mountain tops seem to touch the sky
The winding streams and the winds that blow
Ask me "how can you stay away"
Far too long have I stayed apart
From this land that I love and divide my heart
Now, now I know I must go
Where the hills say "don't stay away"
Where the hills say "don't stay away"

She asks me why
I'm just a hairy guy
I'm hairy noon and night
Hair that's a fright
I'm hairy high and LOW
Don't ask me why (Don't know)
It's not for lack of bread
Like the Grateful Dead (Darlin')
Gimme head with hair
Long beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming,
Streaming, flaxen, waxen
Give me down to there hair
Shoulder length or longer
Here baby, there mama
Everywhere daddy daddy
Hair, (hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair hair)
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it, my hair
Let it fly in the breeze
And get caught in the trees
Give a home to the fleas in my hair
A home for fleas, (yeah)
A hive for bees (oh yeah)
A nest for birds, There ain't no words
For the beauty, the splendor, the wonder of my...
Hair, (hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair)
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it, my hair
I want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy,
snaggy, shaggy, ratty, matty
Oily, greasy, fleecy
Shining, gleaming, streaming, flaxen, waxen,
Knotted, polka-dotted
Twisted, beaded, braided
Powdered, flowered, and confettied
Bangled, tangled, spangled, and spaghettied!
Oh say can you see
My eyes if you can
Then my hair's too short
Down to here, down to there
Down to there, down to where
It stops by itself
(do do do do do do do do do do do do do
do do do do do do do do do do do do do)
They'll be ga-ga at the go-go
When they see me in my toga
My toga made of blonde, brilliantined, biblical hair
My hair like Jesus wore it
Hallelujah I adore it
Hallelujah Mary loved her son
Why don't my mother love me?
Hair, (hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair)
Flow it, (hair)
show it (hair)
Long as God can grow it (my)
My hair, (hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair)
Flow it, (hair)
show it (hair)
Long as God can grow it (my)
My hair, (hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair)
show it (hair)
Long as God can grow it, my hair,
I am remember going to the theatre to see the musical in the 1960s. That was very exciting at the time.

When I was seventeen
It was a very good YEAR
It was a very good year for small town girls
And soft summer nights
We'd hide from the lights
Under the village green
When I was seventeen
When I was twenty-one
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for city girls
Who lived up the stairs
With all that perfumed hair
And it came undone
When I was twenty-one
Then I was thirty-five
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls
Of independent means
We'd ride in limousines
Their chauffeurs would drive
When I was thirty-five
But now the days grow short
I'm in the autumn of the year
And now I think of my life as vintage wine
From fine old kegs
From the brim to the dregs
And it poured sweet and clear
It was a very good year
It was a mess of good years
On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turn back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
Contemplating a crime
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
Like a watercolor in the rain
Don't bother asking for explanations
She'll just tell you that she came
In the YEAR of the cat
She doesn't give you time for questions
As she locks up your arm in hers
And you follow 'till your sense of which direction
Completely disappears
By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls
There's a hidden door she leads you to
These days, she says, I feel my life
Just like a river running through
The YEAR of the cat
While she looks at you so cooly
And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea
She comes in incense and patchouli
So you take her, to find what's waiting inside
The YEAR of the cat
Well morning comes and you're still with her
And the bus and the tourists are gone
And you've thrown away your choice you've lost your ticket
So you have to stay on
But the drum-beat strains of the night remain
In the rhythm of the new-born day
You know sometime you're bound to leave her
But for now you're going to stay
In the YEAR of the cat
YEAR of the cat

Ring out the old
Bring in the new
A midnight wish to share with you
Your lips are warm, my head is light
Were we in love before tonight?
I don't need a crowded ballroom
Everything I need is here, if you're with me
Next YEAR will be the perfect YEAR
No need to hear the music play
Your eyes say all there is to say
The stars can fade
And they can shine
Long as your face is next to mine
I don't need a crowded ballroom
Everything I need is here, if you're with me
Next year will be the perfect year
We don't need a crowded ballroom
Everything I need is here, if you're with me
Next year will be the perfect year
It's New Year's Eve, and hopes are high
Dance one year in, kiss one goodbye
Another chance, another start
So many dreams to tease the heart
We don't need a crowded ballroom
Everything I need is here, if you're with me
Next year will be the perfect year

Let's take a look behind and see what we can find.
Last year has gone for everyone, passed with time.
What happened to us then can't happen once again.
And what's it now to me?
History.
YEARS may come (YEARS may come), YEARS may go (quickly go).
Some go fast (very fast), some go slow (oh so slow).
Some are good (very good), some are bad (very sad).
For each one (for what comes) just be glad (let’s be glad).
Whenever I review my lovin' times with you I wouldn't change
a single page we've lived through.
It wasn't always smooth; sometimes we'd jump the groove.
We've shed some tears and then loved again.
YEARS may come (YEARS may come), YEARS may go (quickly go).
Some go fast (very fast), some go slow (oh so slow).
Some are good (very good), some are bad (very sad).
For each one (for what comes) just be glad (let’s be glad).
Some heartaches I don't doubt, life's sure to dish us out.
We'll beat the lot and that is what life's all about.
Whatever may come true, ahead for me and you -Some day it
all will be
Memories.

I used to laugh when I should cry
I used to let these feelings pass me by
But now that I believe them
I got no-one to leave them to me
You see I traded love for what I thought must be free
So I confess my loneliness
And I guess I've lost the best of the YEAR
That I have lost it through my fingers like a golden breath of air
If I cared I wouldn't be singing this love song of the YEAR
I know the time cannot erase the days
Love is past and I've gone away
From now on I'll make it very clear
'Cause' I don't want to write
Another love song of the YEAR
It's a lonely song and not too clear
But to me it's very dear
I guess this song can only be
My feelings went out in the sea of love
To me this has got to be the love song of the year
I know the time cannot erase the days
Love is past and I've gone away
From now on I'll make it very clear
'Cause' I don't want to write
Another love song of the YEAR
I used to laugh I used to cry
I used to laugh, these feelings passed me by
From now on I'll make it very clear 'cause' I don't want to write
Another love song of the YEAR
You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet
Bachman–Turner Overdrive, Burton Cummings, Bus Stop
I met a devil woman
She took my heart away
She said I had it comin' to me
But I wanted it that way
I think that any love is good lovin'
And so I took what I could get
Ooh, ooh she looked at me with big brown eyes
And said
You ain't seen nothin' yet
B-B-B-Baby you just ain't seen nothin' yet
Here's something that you never gonna forget
B-B-B-Baby you just ain't seen nothin' yet
And now I'm feelin' better
'Cause I found out for sure
She took me to her doctor
And he told me of a cure
He said that any love is good love
So I took what I could get
Ooh, ooh she looked at me with big brown eyes
And said
You ain't seen nothin' yet
B-B-B-Baby you just ain't seen nothin' yet
Here's something that you never gonna forget
B-B-B-Baby you just ain't seen nothin' yet
Any love is good love
So I took what I could get
Ooh, ooh she looked at me with big brown eyes
And said
You ain't seen nothin' yet
B-B-B-Baby you just ain't seen nothin' yet
Here's something that you never gonna forget
B-B-B-Baby you just ain't seen nothin' yet

But I got somethin' you need, oh yeah

My love is rotten to the core

Yeah, got to, got to bleed, baby
You got to, got to bleed, baby

I wear my jeans too short
And my neckline is too low
I'm sit and stared at wherever I go
I wear my jeans too tight
And I stay out all night
When you turn me on you see how I can bite
And now my preoccupation is making love
Hun hun hun

Well I like your stimulation but that AIN'T enough
So don't take me home baby
Na na na na na na cos your mama wont like me
So don't take me home honey now
Na na na na na na cos your mama wont like me

By doing everything I know I shouldn't do
So when you hold me tight I won't put up a fight
I'll just knock you out and watch you comming too
Just put me in a situation where I'd hurt anyone
Hun hun hun

You could feel the sensation that's all so strong
So don't take me home baby

Ain't No Sunshine
Bill Withers, Daphne's Flight
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
It’s not warm when he's away
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And he's always gone too long
Anytime he goes away
Wonder, this time where he's gone
Wonder if he's gonna stay
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime he goes away
And I know and I know
And I know and I know
And I know and I know
And I know and I know
Well, I gotta leave the young thing alone
'Cause ain't no sunshine when he's gone
Only darkness when he's away
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime he goes away
Anytime he goes away
Anytime he goes away
Captured effortlessly
That's the way it was
Happened so naturally
I did not know it was love
The next thing I felt was you
Holding me close
What was I gonna do?
I let myself go
And now we're flyin' through the stars
I hope this night will last forever
I've been waitin' for you
It's been so long
I knew just what I would do
When I heard your song
Filled my heart with your bliss
Gave me freedom
You knew I could not resist
I needed someone
And now we're flyin' through the stars
I hope this night lasts forever
Oh oh oh oh
AIN'T nobody (nobody)
Loves me better (loves me better)
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way (nobody)
AIN'T nobody (AIN'T nobody)
Loves me better than you
I wait for night time to come
And bring you to me
Can't believe I'm the one
I was so lonely
I feel like no one could feel
I must be dreamin'
I want this dream to be real
I need this feelin'
I make my wish upon a star
And hope this night will last forever
Oh oh oh oh
AIN'T nobody (nobody)
Loves me better (better than me)
Makes me happy (feel this way)
Makes me feel this way
AIN'T nobody (nobody babe)
Loves me better (nobody babe)
AIN'T nobody
Loves me better (than you)
At first you put your arms around me
Then you put your charms around me
I can't resist this sweet surrender
Oh my nights are warm and tender
We stare into each other's eyes
And what we see is no surprise
Got a feeling most with treasure
And a love so deep we cannot measure
AIN'T nobody (nobody)
Loves me better (better me)
Can make me feel this way (makes me happy) (makes me feel) this way
AIN'T nobody (AIN'T nobody)
Loves me better (nobody)
AIN'T nobody

It Ain't Me Babe
Joan Baez
[Originally by Bob Dylan]
Go away from my window
Leave at your own chosen speed
I'm not the one you want babe
I'm not the one you need
You say you're looking for someone
Who's never weak but always strong
To protect you and defend you
Whether you are right or wrong
Someone to open each and every door...
[Chorus:]
But it ain't me babe
No, no, no
It ain't me babe
It ain't me your looking for babe
Go lightly from the last pain
Go lightly on the ground
I'm not the one you want babe
I will only let you down
You say your looking for some one
Who'll promise never to part
Some one to close his eyes for you
Someone to close his heart
Someone who will die for you and more...
[Chorus]
Go mount back in the night
Everything inside is made of stone
There's nothing in here moving
And anyway I'm not alone
You say you're looking for someone
Who'll pick you up each time you fall
To gather flowers constantly
And to come each time you call
And love you for your life and nothing more...
It ain't me babe
No, no, no
It ain't me babe
It ain't me your looking for ...
If you need me, call me
No matter where you are
No matter how far
Just call my name
I'll be there in a hurry
On that you can depend and never worry
You see, my love is alive
It's like a seed that only needs the thought of you
To grow
So if you feel the need for company
Please, my darling, let it be me
I may not be able to express
The depth of the love I feel for you
But a writer put it very nicely
When he was away from the one he loved
He sat down and wrote these words:
No wind, (no wind)
No rain, (no rain)
Nor winter's cold
Can stop me, babe
(Oh, babe) baby (baby)
If you're my goal
No wind, (no wind)
No rain, (no rain)
Can stop me, babe
If you wanna go
I know, I know you must follow the sun
Wherever it leads
But remember
If you should fall short of your desires
Remember life holds for you one guarantee
You'll always have me
And if you should miss my lovin'
One of these old days
If you should ever miss the arms
That used to hold you so close, or the lips
That used to touch yours so tenderly
Just remember what I told you
The day I set you free
AIN'T no mountain high enough
AIN'T no valley low enough
AIN'T no river wild enough
To keep me from you
AIN'T no mountain high enough
AIN'T no valley low enough
(Say it again)
AIN'T no river wild enough
To keep me from you
AIN'T no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me
Keep me from you
AIN'T no mountain high enough (no)
Nothing can keep me
Keep me from you
AIN'T no mountain high enough
AIN'T no valley low enough
(Say it again)
AIN'T no river wild enough
To keep me from you
AIN'T no mountain high enough
AIN'T no valley low enough
AIN'T no river wild enough
To keep me from you
Nothing in this world
(AIN'T no valley low enough)
Nothing in this world
Can keep me from you, baby
Just call my name
I'll be there in a hurry
Just call my name
I'll be there
AIN'T no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me, keep me from you
AIN'T no mountain high enough
(Say it again)
AIN'T no river wild enough

"Ain't No Mountain High Enough"
(originally by Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell)
(with Michael Bolton)
Listen, baby
Ain't no mountain high
Ain't no valley low
Ain't no river wide enough, baby
If you need me, call me
No matter where you are
No matter how far
Just call my name
I'll be there in a hurry
You don't have to worry
'Cause baby,
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you
Remember the day
I set you free
I told you
You could always count on me
From that day on I made a vow
I'll be there when you want me
Some way,some how
'Cause baby,
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you
No wind, no rain
My love is alive
Way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart
If you ever need a helping hand
I'll be there on the double
As fast as I can
Don't you know that
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you
Don't you know that
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
Every day the sun comes up around her.
She can make the birds sing harmony.
Every drop of rain is glad it found her.
Heaven must have made her just for me.
When she smiles so warm and tender,
A sight for sore eyes to see.
Oooh, (AIN'T no woman like the one I've got.)
Oh, no, they don't come better.
(To make her happy doesn't take a lot.)
She don't ask for things, no diamond rings.
(So together, like a hand in glove.)
Like pages in a letter.
(AIN'T no woman like the one I love.)
She can fill me up when it's down I'm goin' (I'm goin').
Put a little music in my day.
Wouldn't be surprised if my love keeps growin' (it keeps growin').
Bigger every minute that she stays away.
I would kiss the ground she walks on,
Cause it's my word, my word she'll obey, now.
Woo-ooh. (AIN'T no woman like the one I've got.)
Well, I kiss the ground she walks on.
(To make her happy doesn't take a lot.)
She's a real good friend right to the end.
(So together like a hand in glove.)
A lonely man when she's gone.
(People, AIN'T no woman like the one I love.)
Oooh. What a good, good thing I've got.
She means to me a lot.
No, no, they don't come better.
(To make her happy doesn't take a lot.)
She don't ask for things, no diamond rings.
(So together, like a hand in glove.)
Like pages in a letter.
(AIN'T no woman like the one I love, people.)
Well, I kiss the ground she walks on.
(To make her happy doesn't take a lot.)
I'm a lonely man when my baby's gone.

City of New Orleans
Arlo Guthrie, Steve Goodman, Judy Collins
Ridin' on the City of New Orleans
Illinois Central, Monday mornin' rail
15 cars and 15 restless riders
Three conductors, 25 sacks of mail
All along the southbound odyssey the train pulls out of Kankakee
Rolls along past houses, farms & fields
Passin' graves that have no name, freight yards full of old black men
And the graveyards of rusted automobiles
[Chorus]
Good mornin' America, how are you?
Don't you know me? I'm your native son!
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done
Dealin' cards with the old men in the club car
Penny a point, ain't no one keepin' score
Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle
And feel the wheels grumblin' neath the floor
And the sons of Pullman porters & the sons of engineers
Ride their fathers' magic carpet made of steel
Mothers with their babes asleep, rockin' to the gentle beat
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel
[Chorus]
Night time on the City of New Orleans
Changin' cars in Memphis, Tennessee
Halfway home, we'll be there by mornin'
Through the Mississippi darkness rollin' down to the sea
But all the towns & people seem to fade into a bad dream
And the steel rail still AIN'T heard the news
The conductor sings his song again
"The passengers will please refrain,
This train has got the disappearin' railroad blues
[Chorus]
How lucky can one guy be?
I kissed her and she kissed me
Like the fella once said
"AIN'T that a kick in the head?"
The room was completely black
I hugged her and she hugged back
Like the sailor said, quote
"AIN'T that a hole in the boat?"
My head keeps spinnin'
I go to sleep and keep grinnin'
If this is just the beginnin'
My life is gonna be bee-yoo-tee-ful
I've sunshine enough to spread
It's just like the fella said
Tell me quick, AIN'T that a kick in the head?
Like the fella once said
"AIN'T that a kick in the head?"
Like the sailor said, quote
"AIN'T that a hole in the boat?"
My head keeps spinnin'
I go to sleep and keep grinnin'
If this is just the beginnin'
My life is gonna be bee-yoo-tee-ful
She's tellin' me we'll be wed
She's picked out a king-size bed
I couldn't feel any better or I'd be sick
Tell me quick oh, AIN'T that a kick?
Tell me quick AIN'T that a kick in the head?

Ain't Good Enough for You
Bruce Springsteen
Well you don't like, don't like the way I walk
And you don't like, don't like the way I talk
You criticize about me endlessly
Logic defies how you get stuck with me
And you complain about the clothes I wear
And you explain there's other boys out there
You complain my car makes too much noise
And you cry I'm always out with the boys
Whoa whoa (whoa whoa whoa whoa)
I give up little darling (whoa whoa little darling)
Yeah no matter what I do, girl you know it's true
Ain't good enough for you
You complain the way I love you at night
You explain I'm really not your type
If we go out, you say I'm such a bore
If we stay in, you say what are we living for
I don't understand, there's nothing I can do
There ain't no way I can satisfy you
End of the night I lean in for a kiss
Here comes the pitch, a swing and a miss
Whoa whoa whoa whoa (whoa whoa whoa whoa)
I quit little darling (whoa whoa little darling)
Yeah no matter what I do, well you know it's true
Ain't good enough for you, hey!
Hey!
(Come on boys!)
Whoa whoa whoa whoa (whoa whoa whoa whoa)
Hey hey little darling (whoa whoa little darling)
No matter what I do, girl you know it's true
Ain't good enough for you
I tried to change, I got a job in sales
I bought a shirt uptown in Bloomingdales
And babe I tried to make the latest scene
Hitting cool just like Jimmy Iovine
I bought a record with all the latest grooves
A book of love with all the latest moves
I bought some flowers and I waited at your door
And you came out, didn't want to see me no more
Whoa whoa whoa (whoa whoa whoa whoa)
I quit little darling (whoa whoa little darling)
Yeah no matter what I do, girl you know it's true
Ain't good enough for you
Hey! Hey! Hey!
No matter what I do, girl you know it's true
Ain't good enough for you
Aw no matter what I do, girl you know it's true
Ain't good enough for you
Whoa!
Some people live for the fortune
Some people live just for the fame
Some people live for the power, yeah
Some people live just to play the game
Some people think that the physical things define what's within
And I've been there before, and that life's a bore
So full of the superficial
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it AIN'T you baby
If I AIN'T got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I AIN'T got you, yeah
Some people search for a fountain
That promises forever young
Some people need three dozen roses
And that's the only way to prove you love them
Hand me the world on a silver platter
And what good would it be
With no one to share, with no one who truly cares for me
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it AIN'T you baby
If I AIN'T got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I AIN'T got you
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it AIN'T you baby
If I AIN'T got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I AIN'T got you, yeah
If I AIN'T got you with me baby
So nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing
If I AIN'T got you with me baby

Fortunate Son
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Yeah, the red, white, and blue
When the band plays 'Hail To The Chief'
Yeah, they'll point the cannon at you
It ain't me, it ain't me
I'm no millionaire's son
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Well, they help themselves, yeah
When the tax man comes to the door
House looks a like a rummage sale
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no millionaire's son
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes
Yeah, when they send you down to war
Well, when you ask them how much you should give
Yeah, it's always more, more, more
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no senator's son
It ain't me, it ain't me
I'm no fortunate one
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no military son
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate son

Three nights ago I was at a disco
Man, I wanted to bump, I was rarin' to go
And this big fat woman, bumped me on the floor
She was rarin' to go, that chick was rarin' to go
Man she did a dip, almost broke my hip
She was gettin' down, that chick was gettin' down
She wanted to bump some more, but I told her, no
You done knocked me down once
You done knocked me down once
Said, if you want to dance

I AIN'T gonna bump no more with no big fat woman
I AIN'T gonna bump no more with no big fat woman
Somebody take her
She's too big for me
She'll knock me down
She came over to me, snatched me out of my seat
She wanted to get on down, still wanted to get on down
I told her to go on and leave me alone
I ain't gettin' down
You done hurt my hip once
I know what you'll do
I AIN'T gonna bump with you
I don't feel like gettin' down
Don't feel like gettin' down
She just shook her head at every word I said
She wanted to get on down
That woman wanted to get on down
She did that dip again and I hit the floor again
She was gettin' down, Lord, that woman was gettin' down
I AIN'T gonna bump no more with no big fat woman
I AIN'T gonna bump no more with no big fat woman
I AIN'T gonna bump no more with no big fat woman

Somebody take her, I don't want her
She done hurt my hip, she done knocked me down
Done hurt my hip, she done knocked me down
Somebody take her, I don't want her
Say, Leroy, you can have this one, dude
This big fat woman, dude

You made a fool of me
But them broken dreams have got to end
Hey, woman, you got the blues
'Cause you ain't got no one else to use
There's an open road that leads nowhere
So just make some miles between here and there
There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in
You took my body and played to win
Ha, ha, woman, it's a cryin' shame
But you ain't got nobody else to blame
EVIL woman

Rolled in from another town
Hit some gold, too hard to settle down
But a fool and his money soon go separate ways
And you found a fool lyin' in a daze
Ha, ha, woman, what you gonna do
You destroyed all the virtues that the Lord gave you
It's so good that you're feelin' pain
But you better get your face on board the very next train

Ha, ha, funny, how you broke me up
You made the wine, now you drink a cup
I came runnin' ev'ry time you cried
Thought I saw love smilin' in your eyes
Ha, ha, very nice to know
That you ain't got no place left to go

If you're looking for trouble
You came to the right place
If you're looking for trouble
Just look right in my face
I was born standing up
And talking back
My daddy was a green-eyed mountain jack
Because I'm EVIL, my middle name is misery
Well I'm EVIL, so don't you mess around with me
I never looked for trouble
But I never ran
I don't take no orders
From no kind of man
I'm only made out
Of flesh, blood and bone
But if you're gonna start a rumble
Don't you try it all alone
Because I'm evil, my middle name is misery
Well I'm evil, so don't you mess around with me
I'm evil, evil, evil, as can be
I'm evil, evil, evil, as can be
So don't mess around don't mess around don't mess around with me
I'm evil, I'm evil, evil, evil
So don't mess around, don't mess around with me
I'm evil, I tell you I'm evil
So don't mess around with me

I've had nothing but bad luck
Since the day I saw the cat at my door
So I came here to you, sweet lady
Answering your mystical call
Crystal ball on the table
Showing the future, the past
Same cat with them evil eyes
And I knew it was a spell she'd cast
She's just a devil woman
With EVIL on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With EVIL on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you from behind
Give me the ring on your finger
Let me see the lines of your hand
I can see me a tall dark stranger
Giving you what you hadn't planned
I drank the potion she offered me
I found myself on the floor
Then I looked in those big green eyes
And I wondered what I came there for
She's just a devil woman
With EVIL on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With EVIL on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you from behind.
Stay awake
Look out
If you're out on a moonlit night
Be careful of the neighborhood strays
Of a lady with long black hair
Tryin' to win you with her feminine ways
Crystal ball on the table
Showing the future, the past
Same cat with them evil eyes
You'd better get out of there fast
She's just a devil woman
With EVIL on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you.
She's just a devil woman

You've got to change your EVIL ways, baby
Before I stop lovin' you
You've got to change, baby
And every word that I say is true
You got me runnin' and hidin' all over town
You got me sneakin' and a-peepin' and runnin' you down
This can't go on, Lord knows you got to change, baby
When I come home, baby
My house is dark and my pots are cold
You're hangin' round, baby
With Jean and Joan and-a who knows who
I'm gettin' tried of waitin' and foolin' around
I'll find somebody who won't make me feel like a clown
This can't go on, Lord knows you got to change, baby
When I come home, baby
My house is dark and my pots are cold
You're hangin' round, baby

Evil hearted you.
You always try to put me down,
With the things you do,
And words,
You spread around against me.
Evil hearted you.
You kept,
Kidding me along,
With your phoney smile,
And with,
Your siren song smiling, beguiling,
You lead me on 'til all hope's gone,
Persuading, degrading,
On my knees I try to please.
But I love you,
Just the same,
And I want you,
To remain,
By my side,
And you'll see,
Just how much you,
Mean to me.
Evil hearted you.
You always try to put me down,
With the things you do,
And words,
You spread around against me,
About me.
What would you,
Do without me?
Smiling, beguiling,
You lead me on 'til all hope has gone.
Little girl what's your game?
Hard luck and trouble
Bound to be your claim to fame
Tail-shakin' heart-breakin' truckin' through town
Each and every country-mother's son, hangin' 'round
Drive a young man insane
EVIL that's your name
Lucretia MacEvil
That's the thing you're doin' fine
Back seat Delilah
Got your six-foot jug o'wine, woman
I hear your mother was the talk of the sticks
Nothin' that your daddy wouldn't do for kicks
Never done a thing worth-while
You're just an EVIL woman-child.
Ooh, Lucy, you just so damn bad
Devil got you lucy
Under lock and key
Ain't about to set you free
Sign sealed and witnessed
Since the day you were born
No use tryin' to fake him out
No use tryin' to make him out
Soon, he'll be takin' out his due
What-cha gonna do?
Lucy MacEvil
Honey ya been all night?
Your hair's all messed up, babe
An' the clothes you're wearin'
Just don't fit ya right
Big Daddy Joe's, payin' your monthly rent
Tells his wife he can't imagine where the money went
Dressin' you up in style, EVIL woman-child

She'll tell you that she loves you, make you feel just like a kid
She'll cry to you and lie to you, she'll do 'most anything
She'll get right up next to you and the first thing that you know
You'll be telling her you're sorry because she hurt you so
I said she's EVIL the most EVIL girl I've found
There ain't no doubt about it, she's the meanest girl in town
She'll invite you over to her house at half past nine
You'll wear a suit, you'll wear a tie and you'll give your shoes a shine
You'll take a real deep breath and knock on her front door
Her little sister will tell you "She don't live here anymore"
I said she's EVIL the most EVIL girl I've found
There ain't no doubt about it, she's the meanest girl in town
And there ain't no doubt about it, she's the meanest girl in town
She'll put her arms around you and squeeze with all her might
She'll breathe a sigh and pucker her lips and pull your arms real tight
Your heart will pound like thunder, you'll melt in her embrace
But when you go to kiss her well she'll laugh right in your face
Because she's EVIL the most EVIL girl I've found
There ain't no doubt about it, she's the meanest girl in town
