Should I worry about you baby, or forget you were ever on my mind?
Yes, should I worry about you baby, or forget you were ever on my mind? I can get another man just as easy, and one that will treat me just as kind. Should I go out and look for you baby, when I know that you're for ever gone? Should I look for you baby, when I know you're for ever gone? I'd be more contented if I knew you were all alone. If you cared about me daddy, you'd come home early every night, Yes, if you cared about me daddy, you'd come home early every night, But you don't come home in the mornin's till you're sure it's broad daylight! Yes, if you wanna get together baby, yes that's still okay with me, If you wanna get together baby, that's still okay with me, I'm always open for propositions, that I know you can plainly see! |

I've got bad news baby, and you're the first to know,
Yes, I've got bad news baby, and you're the first to know, I discovered this mornin' that my top is about to go! I've been rockin' on my feet and talkin' all out of my head, Yes, I've been rockin' on my feet and talkin' all out of my head, Yes, and when I get through talkin', can't remember a thing I said! Used to be a sharpie, always dressed in the latest styles, Now I'm walkin' down Broadway wearin' nothin' but a smile! I see all kinds o' little men, although they're never there! I try to push the "A" trail and put whisky in my hair! I'm a girl you can't excuse, I've got those blow top blues. Last night I was five feet tall, today I'm eight feet ten, And every time I fall down stairs I float right up again! When someone turned the lights on me, it like to drove me blind, I woke up in Belle Vue, but I left my mind behind! I'm a gal who blew a fuse, I've got those blow top blues. |

Blue gardenia
now I'm alone with you and I am also blue. He has tossed us aside and like you, gardenia, once I was near his heart. After the tear drops start, where are tear drops to hide? I lived for an hour, what more can I tell? Love bloomed like a flower then the petals fell. Blue gardenia, thrown to a passing breeze, but pressed, yes, there pressed in my book of memories. I lived for an hour, what more can I tell? Love bloomed like a flower and then the petals fell. Blue gardenia, thrown to a passing breeze, but pressed in my book of memo-ries, but pressed in my book of memo-ries. |

I'm an evil gal, don't you bother with me,
Yes, I'm an evil gal, don't you bother with me, I'll empty your pockets and fill you with misery. I've got men to the left, men to the right, Men every day and men every night! I've got so many mem, mmm I don't know what to do, So I'm tellin' you daddy, I ain't no good to you! I've got men in the east, men in the west, But my man here in Harlem always loves me the best! I'm an evil gal, and I need an evil man, But I'm down in the dumps since I list him to Uncle Sam. If you want to be happy, don't hang around with me, Mmm, I said if you wanna be happy, don't hang around with me, 'Cause I'm an evil gal, and I want to set you free. |

Every time we say goodbye, I die a little,
Every time we say goodbye, I wonder why a little, Why the gods above me, who must be in the know. Think so little of me, they allow you to go. When you're near, there's such an air of spring about it, I can hear a lark somewhere, begin to sing about it, There's no love song finer, but how strange the change from major to minor, Every time we say goodbye. When you're near, there's such an air of spring about it, I can hear a lark somewhere, begin to sing about it, There's no love song finer, but how strange the change from major to minor, Every time we say goodbye. |

Babe I called to tell you I'm feelin' so all alone,
Babe I called to tell you I'm feelin' so all alone, And I'm warnin' you to be ready, for your mama's comin' home! I was high last night, but today I'm dull and low, I was high last night, but today I'm dull and low, I've got a dime in my pocket and a long long way to go! Tell me baby, have you any strange women hangin' around? Tell me baby, have you any strange women hangin' around? You better store my treat 'cause your mama's homeward bound! |

Everybody needs practice in the art of love;
I've had twenty years' practice and, Lord above! I know how to do it, I know how to do it, I know how to do it, Good enough for anyone! If you love your man you'd better take good care, Or you'll wake up one mornin' and he won't be there! 'Cause I know how to do it, I know how to do it, I know how to do it, Good enough for anyone! I may be old fashioned, I may be dumb, I may be a square and I may be a bum! But I know how to do it, I know how to do it, I know how to do it, And I dish it out with ease! Don't encourage me, baby, or I'll go too far When you say, "Beat me, momma, eight to the bar!"; I know how to do it, I know how to do it, I know how to do it, And I dish it out with ease! If you see a man who's mellow and fine, Tell him to come and see me any old time! I know how to do it, I know how to do it, I'll keep on doin' it as long as it's easy done! |

Seems that I read, or somebody said
That out of sight is out of mind Maybe that's so but I tried to go And leave you behind, what did I find... I took a trip on the train And I thought about you, I passed a shadowy lane And I thought about you, Two or three cars parked under the stars A winding stream Moon shining down on some little town And with each beam, same old dream At every stop that we made Oh, I thought about you But when I pulled down the shade Then I really felt blue, I peeked through the crack And looked at the track The one going back to you And what did I do I thought about you |

I wanna be loved with inspiration
I wanna be loved starting tonight Instead of merely holding conversation Hold me tight I wanna be kissed until I tingle I wanna be kissed starting tonight Embrace until our heartbeats intermingle Wrong or right I feel like acting my age I'm past the stage of merely turtledoving (be careful, be careful what you do) I'm in no mood to resist And I insist the world owes me a loving I wanna be thrilled to desperation I wanna be thrilled starting tonight (love me, love me, love me) With every kind of wonderful sensation I wanna be loved I feel like acting my age I'm past the stage of merely turtledoving I'm in no mood to resist And I insist the world owes me a loving I wanna be thrilled to desperation I wanna be thrilled starting tonight With every kind of wonderful sensation I wanna be loved |

If it's the last thing I do, I'll make you mine
Darling, the first thing is you, in my design Just like the stars guard the moon above me That's just how I'll guard our love, so love me Please, love me If it's the last thing I do, I'll take your hand And though I won't say a word, you'll understand I'll build a dream just for two And then I'll make it come true If it's the very last thing I do Just like the stars guard the moon above me That's just how I'll guard our love, so love me Please, love me If it's the last thing I do, I'll take your hand And though I won't say a word, you'll understand I'll build a dream just for two And then I'll make it come true If it's the very last thing I do |

Heaven sends A song through its doors Just as if it seems to know I'm exclusively yours Knowing this I feel but one way You will understand too In these words that I say I'll close my eyes To everyone but you And when I do I'll see you standing there I'll lock my heart To any other caress I'll never say yes To a new love affair Then I'll close my eyes To everything that's gay If you are not there Oh, to share each lovely day And through the years In those moments When we're far apart Don't you know I'll close my eyes And I'll see you with my heart |

Why do I tell myself these things that happen
Are all really true When in my heart I know The magic is my love for you You sign the song begins You speak and I hear violins, it's magic The stars, desert the skies And rush to nestle in your eyes, it's magic Without a golden wand or mystic charms Fantastic things begin when I am in your arms When we walk hand in hand The world becomes a wonderland, it's magic How else can I explain those rainbows When there ain't no rain, it's magic Why do I tell me myself These things that happen are all really true When in my heart I know the magic is my love for you Magic, magic, magic, magic |

On the day I was born,
Said my father, said he, I've an elegant legacy Waiting for ye. Tis a rhyme for your lips And a song for your heart, To sing whenever the world falls apart. Look, look, look to the rainbow. Follow it over the hill and stream. Look, look, look to the rainbow. Follow the fellow who follows a dream. Follow the fellow, follow the fellow, Follow the fellow who follows a dream. 'Twas a sumptuous gift bequeathed to a child. Oh, the lure of that song Kept her feet running wild. For you never grow old and you never stand still With a whippoorwill singing beyond the next hill. So, I bundled me heart and I roamed the world free. To the east with the lark Tow the west with the sea. And I searched all the world and I scanned all the skies. But I found it at last in my own true love's eyes. |

Mad about the boy
I know it's stupid to be mad about the boy I'm so ashamed of it but must admit the sleepless nights I've had About the boyOn the silverscreen He melts my foolish heart in every single scene Although I'm quite aware that here and there are traces of the cad About the boyLord knows I'm not a fool girl I really shouldn't care Lord knows I'm not a school girl In the fury of her first affairWill it ever cloy This odd diversity of misery and joy I'm feeling quite insane and young again And all because I'm mad about the boySo if I could employ A little magic that will finally destroy This dream that pains me and enchains me But I can't because I'm mad... I'm mad about the boy |

Whether you are here or yonder
Whether you are false or true Whether you remain or wander I'm growing fonder of you Even though your friends forsake you Even though you don't succeed Wouldn't I be glad to take you And give you the break you need More than you know, more than you know Girl of my heart I love you so Lately I find you're on my mind More than you know Whether you're right, whether you're wrong Girl of my heart, I'll string along I need you so More than you'll ever know Loving you the way that I do There's nothing I can do about it Loving may be all you can give But, honey, I can't live without it Oh, how I'd cry, oh how I'd cry If you got tired and said Goodbye More than I'd show More than you'll ever know More than you'll ever know |

My devotion
Is endless and deep as the ocean And like a star shining from afar Remains forever the same Oh, my devotion Is not just a sudden emotion It will be constantly burning And your love will kindle the flame What a sweet beginning To the dream I had planned All I own is yours alone Your wish is my command And this sensation Was never a mere fascination Here in my heart, one sweet day, it started Then with time improved my devotion to you Here in my heart, one sweet day, it started Then with time improved my devotion to you |

my true love was true, Oh I, of course, replied something here inside cannot be denied They said someday you’ll find all who love are blind, oh When your heart’s on fire you must realize Smoke gets in your eyes So I chaffed them and I gayly laughed To think they could doubt my love Yet today, my love has flown away I am without my love Now laughing friends deride tears I cannot hide of So I smile and say, When a lovely flame dies Smoke gets in your eyes Smoke gets in your eyes |

Did you see that I've got a lot to learn?
Well don't think I'm trying not to learn, Since this is the perfect spot to learn - Oooh, teach me tonight! Let's start with the ABC of it, Roll right down to the XYZ of it Help me solve the mystery of it, Teach me tonight! The sky's a blackboard high above you, If a shooting star goes by, I'll use that star, to write I love you, A thousand times across the sky. One thing isn't very clear my love, Should the teacher stand so near my love? Graduation's almost here my love, Come on and teach me tonight. I'll use that star to write I love you, A thousand times across the sky, One thing isn't very clear my love Should the teacher stand so near my love, Graduation's almost here my love, Teach me......please teach me tonight! |

He always knows the proper thing to share
He makes your blue night seem a holiday He lies in such a fascinating way That's why a woman loves a heel You know that he's a phony more or less But when he meets a lady in distress He handles everything with such finesse That's why a woman loves a heel You'll meet a fellow who is on the square with you And you ignore him, have no time for him Or he will say, ?Let's go? and set your heart aglow You're a won completely by a no good, so and so He knows just how to get beneath your skin He holds the aces, you can't win He gets a lot of goodness out of scene That's why a woman loves a heel He knows just how to get beneath your skin He always holds the aces, you can't win He gets a lot of goodness out of scene That's why a woman loves a heel |
