You’re the cream in my coffee
You’re the salt in my stew
You will always be my necessity
I’d be lost without you
Lost in love and I don’t know much
Was I thinking aloud and fell out of touch?
But I’m back on my feet and eager to be what you wanted
Oh, if I, if I stay here without you, darling, I will die
I want you laying in the love I have to bring
I’d do anything
To be your everything
‘Twas in the merry month of May
When green buds all were swellin’
Sweet William on his death bed lay
For love of Barbara Allen
Oh, it’s a long long time
From May to December
And the days grow short
When you reach September
When the autumn weather
Turns the leaves to flame
And you ain’t got time
For the waiting game
Who knows how long I’ve loved you
Do you know I love you still?
Will I wait a lonely lifetime?
If you want me to, I will
If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I’ll go, but I know
I’ll think of you every step of the way
And I will always love you
I will always love you
You, my darling you
So, in the mornin’, please don’t say you love me
‘Cause you know I’ll only kick you out the door
Yeah, I’ll pay your cab fare home, you can even use my best cologne,
Just don’t be here in the mornin’ when I wake up
Stay with me, stay with me
For tonight you’d gonna stay with me
You don’t have to say you love me, just be close at hand,
You don’t have to stay forever, I will understand,
Believe me, believe me.
You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me – Dusty Springfield
Don’t answer me
Don’t break the silence, don’t let me win
Don’t answer me
Stay on your island, don’t let me in
Run away and hide from everyone
Can you change the things we’ve said and done?
Don’t laugh at me, don’t call me names
Don’t get your pleasure from my pain
'Cause in God’s eyes we’re all the same
Someday we’ll all have perfect wings
Don’t laugh at me
Cause we are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won’t bring us down, no, no
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can’t bring us down, oh, no
So don’t you bring me down today
You got me runnin’, goin’ out of my mind
You got me thinkin’ that I’m wastin’ my time
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
Sock it to me
Floatin’ down the river with a saturated liver
And I wish I could forgive her
But I do believe she meant it
When she told me to forget it
And I bet she will regret it
When they find me in the morning wet and drowned
And the word gets ‘round
Goin’ down
Goin’ down
Wastin’ away again in Margaritaville
Searchin’ for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame
Now I think, hell, it could be my fault
Sixteen men on a dead man’s chest
I been drinking from the broken cup
Two pairs of pants and a mohair vest
I’m full of bourbon and I can’t stand up
Hey little bird
Fly away home
Your house is on fire
Your children alone
What do you do with a drunken sailor
What do you do with a drunken sailor
What do you do with a drunken sailor
Earl-eye in the morning
Got up this mornin’
You were on my mind
And you were on my mind
I got some aches and
I got some pains and
I got some wounds to bind
Went to the corner
Just to ease my pain
It was just to ease my pain
I got drunk and
I got sick and
I came home again
(BTW, that’s the original version, written and performed by Sylvia Fricker Tyson)
Well I woke up Sunday morning
With no way to hold my head, that didn’t hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn’t bad
So I had one more for dessert
Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes
And found my cleanest dirty shirt
Then I washed my face and combed my hair
And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day
I woke up in a Soho doorway
Where a policeman knew my name
He said “You can go sleep at home tonight
If you can get up and walk away.”
I sat back in the Underground
And a breeze blew back my hair
I remember throwing punches around
And preaching from my chair
