Amanda
by Boston
Babe, tomorrow's so far
away
There's something I just have to say
I don't think I could hide
What I'm feeling inside
Another day
Knowin' I love you
And I - I'm getting too close again
I don't want to see it end
If I tell you tonight
Will you turn out the light
And walk away
Knowin' I love you?
Chorus:
I'm gonna take you by surprise
And make you realize
Amanda
I'm gonna tell you right away
I can't wait another day
Amanda
I'm gonna say it like a man
And make you understand
Amanda
I love you
And, I feel like today's the day
I'm lookin for the words to say
Do you wanna be free
Are you ready for me
To feel this way?
I don't wanna lose ya
So it may be too soon
I know
The feelin' takes so long to grow
If I tell you today
Will you turn me away
And let me go?
I don't wanna lose you
Repeat Chorus
You and I - I know that we can't wait
And I swear - I swear it's not a lie girl,
Tomorrow may be too late
You - you and I girl - we can share a life together
It's now or never
And tomorrow may be too late
And, feelin' the way I do
I don't wanna wait my whole life through
To say I'm in love with you
Angie
by Rolling Stones
Angie, Angie
When will those clouds all disappear?
Angie, Angie
Where were the ladies from here?
With no loving in our souls
and no money in our coats
(( Oh you can't say we're satisfied ))
Angie, Angie
(( Oh you can't say we never tried ))
Uh Angie, you're beautiful...yes
(( but ain't it time we said goodbye ))
Angie, I still love you
Remember all those nights we cried
(( All the dreams we held so close
Seem to all go up in smoke
Oh let me whisper in your ear ))
Angie, Angie { <<< whisper }
Where were the ladies from here?
Oh Angie don't you weep
All your kisses still taste sweet
I hate that sadness in your eyes
but Angie, Angie
Ain't it time we said goodbye...ya
(( With no loving in our souls
and no money in our coats
Oh you can't say we're satisfied ))
but Angie, I still love you baby
Every where I look I see your eyes
There ain't a woman that comes close to you
Come on baby dry your eyes
Angie, Angie
Ain't it good to be alive
Angie, Angie
They can't say we never tried
B
Beth
by Kiss
Beth, I hear you callin'
But I can't come home right now
Me and the boys are playin'
And we just can't find the sound
Just a few more hours
And I'll be right home to you
I think I hear them callin'
Oh, Beth what can I do
Beth what can I do
You say you feel so empty
That our house just ain't a home
And I'm always somewhere else
And you're always there alone
Just a few more hours
And I'll be right home to you
I think I hear them callin'
Oh, Beth what can I do
Beth what can I do
Beth, I know you're lonely
And I hope you'll be alright
'Cause me and the boys will be playin'
All night
Billy Don't Be A Hero
By Bo Donaldson and the
Heywoods
The marching band came
down along Main Street
The soldier blues fell in behind
From where I stood, there I saw Billy
Waiting to go and join the line.
And with her head upon his shoulder
His young and lovely fiancée
From where I stood I saw she was crying
And through her tears I heard her say
Chorus:
"Billy don't be a hero
Don't be a fool with your life.
Billy don't be a hero
Come back and make me your wife"
And as they started to go
She said "keep your pretty head low"
"Billy don't be a hero, come back to me."
The soldier blues are trapped on a hillside
The battle raging all around.
The sergeant cried we've got to hang on boys
We've got to hold this piece of ground.
I need a volunteer to ride up
And bring us back some extra men
And Billy's hand was up in a moment
Forgetting all the words she said.
She said
Chorus
I heard his fiancée got a letter
That told how Billy died that day
The letter said that he was a hero
She should be proud he died that way.
I heard she threw the letter
Away.
Billy Jean
by Michael Jackson
She was more like a beauty
queen from a movie scene
I said don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
She said I am the one, who will dance on the floor in the round
She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
And mother always told me be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
For forty days and for forty nights
The law was on her side
But who can stand when she's in demand
Her schemes and plans
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice
(Do think twice)
She told my baby we'd danced till three, then she looked at me
Then showed a photo my baby cried his eyes were like mine (oh,
no!)
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round, baby
People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
She came and stood right by me
Then the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
She says I am the one
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is
Not my lover
Not my lover
Not my lover
Not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)
Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is
Ode To Billy Joe
by Bobbie Gentry
It was the third of June,
another sleepy, dusty Delta day
I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was balin' hay
And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat
And Mama hollered out the back door "y'all remember to wipe
your feet"
And then she said "I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw
Ridge"
"Today Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie
Bridge"
'n' Papa said to Mama as he passed around the blackeyed peas
"Well Billy Joe never had a lick of sense, pass the
biscuits, please"
"There's five more acres in the lower forty I've got to
plow"
'n' Mama said it was shame about Billy Joe, anyhow
Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge
And now Billy Joe MacAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie
Bridge
'n' Brother said he recollected when he and Tom and Billie Joe
Put a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture show
And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last Sunday night?
"I'll have another piece-a apple pie, you know it don't seem
right"
"I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge"
"And now ya tell me Billie Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie
Bridge"
'n' Mama said to me "Child, what's happened to your
appetite?"
"I've been cookin' all morning and you haven't touched a
single bite"
"That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by
today"
"Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the
way"
"He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on
Choctaw Ridge"
"And she and Billy Joe was throwing somethin' off the
Tallahatchie Bridge"
A year has come 'n' gone since we heard the news 'bout Billy Joe
'n' Brother married Becky Thompson, they bought a store in Tupelo
There was a virus going 'round, Papa caught it and he died last
Spring
And now Mama doesn't seem to wanna do much of anything
And me, I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge
And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge

Jessica
by Rick Springfield
When you walked into the
room looking like Jean Harlow
Oh Jesse, everyone looked at you, you're a lady
Though I know that you've been 'round the world maybe two or
three times
In your daddy's pocket, I'm gonna break that rich-bitch thing
with you
Chorus:
Oh Jessica, you're a lady, if it takes all night you're gonna be
nice
Oh Jessica, I think lady, that cold hard front could melt like
ice
Jessica Jessica, Jessica Jessica, cold like a killer's eyes
Stay with me Jessica
You're a lady of the world, you've been to Paris and London
But Jesse it doesn't mean a thing to you when you're lonely
Though you'd have to have a heart of stone to put me on my knees
I know you ain't got it, I'm gonna get to you no matter what you
do
chorus - stay with me Jessica
Jessica you're a lady, Jessica you're a lady, Jessica, Jessica
Oh Jessica, you're a lady, take me home in your big black car
Oh Jessica, I think lady, you're not as hard as they think you
are
Jessica Jessica, Jessica Jessica, fire up your cold heart
And stay with me Jessica, stay with me Jessica, stay with me
Jessica
Jessica you're a lady, Jessica you're a lady, Jessica, Jessica

Layla
by Eric Clapton
What'll you do when you
get lonely
And nobody's waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long.
You know it's just your foolish pride.
Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.
I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down.
Chorus
Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane.
Please don't say we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain.
Lola
by Kinks
I met her in a club down
in North Soho
where you drink champagne and it tastes just like Coca Cola
C-O-L-A Cola.
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance.
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said,
"Lola"
L-O-L-A Lola, lo lo lo Lola
Well, I'm not the world's most physical guy,
but when she squeesed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola, lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo Lola
Well, I'm not dumb but I can't understand
why she walks like a woman and talks like a man
Oh my Lola, lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo Lola
Well, we drank champagne and danced all night,
under electric candlelight,
she picked me up and sat me on her knee,
She said, "Little boy won't you come home with me?"
Well, I'm not the world's most passionate guy,
but when I looked in her eyes,
I almost fell for my Lola,
Lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo Lola
I pushed her away. I walked to the door.
I fell to the floor. I got down on my knees.
I looked at her, and she at me.
Well that's the way that I want it to stay.
I always want it to be that way for my Lola.
Lo lo lo Lola.
Girls will be boys, and boys will be girls.
It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world,
except for Lola. Lo lo lo Lola. Lo lo lo Lola.
Well I left how just a week before,
and I never ever kissed a woman before,
Lola smiled and took me by the hand,
she said, "Little boy, gonna make you a man."
Well I'm not the world's most masculine man,
but I know what I am and that I'm a man,
so is Lola.
Lo lo lo Lola. Lo lo lo Lola.
Think Of Laura
by Christopher Cross
Every once in a while I'd
see her smile
And she'd turn my day around
A girl with those eyes
Could stare through the lies
And see what your heart was saying
Think of Laura but laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way
When you think of Laura laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way
A friend of a friend
A friend to the end
That's the kind of girl she was
Taken away so young
Taken away without a warning
I know you and you're here
In every day we live
I know her and she's here
I can feel her when I sing
Hey Laura, where are you now
Are you far away from here
I don't think so
I think you're here
Taking our tears away
