Somebody (Somebody)
Ooh, somebody (Somebody)
Can anybody find me
Somebody to love
Yeah
Oh, doesn’t somebody want to be wanted like me
Where are you
Doesn’t somebody want to be wanted like me
Just like me
I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I’d love you to love me
I’m beggin’ you to beg me
I’ll shine up the old brown shoes, put on a brand-new shirt
I’ll get home early from work if you say that you love me
You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me
And even though we ain’t got money
I’m so in love with you honey
Everything will bring a chain of love
And in the morning when I rise
Bring a tear of joy to my eyes
And tell me everything’s gonna be all right
For the morning sun and all it’s glory
Greets the day with hope and comfort, too
You fill my heart with laughter
Somehow, you make it better
Ease my troubles, that’s what you do
Bring me sunshine
In your smile
Bring me laughter
All the while
In this world where we live
There should be more happiness
So much joy you can give
To each brand new bright tomorrow
The sun is shining in the sky
There ain’t a cloud in sight
It’s stopped raining, everybody’s in the play
And don’t you know, it’s a beautiful new day, hey
Running down the Avenue
See how the sun shines brightly
In the city, on the streets where once was pity
Mr. Blue Sky is living here today
Oh, the sun shines bright
On my old Kentucky home
'Tis summer,
The old folks are gay
Well, the corn top’s ripe
And the meadow’s in the bloom
While the birds make music
All the day
Oh, I’m Melvin Rose of Texas, and my friends all call me “Tex”,
When I lived in old New Mexico, they used to call me “Mex”,
When I lived in old Kentucky, they called me "Old Kentuck’ "–
I was born in old Shamokin, which is why they call me “Melvin Rose”.

Like the pine trees linin’ the windin’ road
I’ve got a name, I’ve got a name
Like the singin’ bird and the croakin’ toad
I’ve got a name, I’ve got a name
You know my name
Look up the number
You know my name
Look up the number
You, you know, you know my name
You, you know, you know my name
Good evening and welcome to Slaggers
Featuring Denis O’Bell
Come on Ringo, let’s hear it for Denis
You see I’ve been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can’t remember your name
'Cause there ain’t no one for to give you no pain
I like the way your sparkling earrings lay
Against your skin so brown
And I want to sleep with you in the desert night
With a billion stars all around
Peaceful Easy Feeling – Eagles
-“BB”-
On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
I was travelin’ down the road feelin’ hungry and cold
I saw a sign sayin’, food and drinks for everyone
So naturally I thought I would take me a look inside
I saw so much food there was water coming from my eyes
I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin’ about half past dead
I just need some place where I can lay my head
“Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?”
He just grinned and shook my hand, “no” was all he said
We don’t talk about Bruno, no, no, no.
No, no no no, no no, no no, no, no, no, no
Don’t sing this song
It belongs to P.F. Sloan
Oh, oh, oh, from now on
Don’t bring me down
No, no, no, no, no
Ooh-ooh-hoo
I’ll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don’t bring me down
Don’t bring me down, Groos
Don’t bring me down, Groos
Don’t bring me down, Groos
Don’t bring me down
