| Chain of Fools | |
|
(Don Covay)
Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain yeah, chain of fools
For five long years
I thought you were my man
but I found out
I'm just a link in your chain
You got me where you want me
I ain't nothin' but your fool
You treated me mean,
oh babe you treated me cruel
Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain yeah, chain of fools
Now, every chain
has got a weak link
I might be weak child
oh, but I gave you strenghy
Now,you tell me to leave you alone
My papa says "Come on home"
My doctor says "Take it easy"
But your lovin'is much too strong
I'm welded to ya
Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain yeah, chain of fools
One of these mornings
that chain is gonna break
But until then, I'm gomma take all I can take
Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain...

| I Who Have Nothing | |
|
(Words by Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller / Music by Giulio Rapetti, Labati Carlo Donida)
I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Adore you and want you so
I'm just a no one with nothing to give you but, oh
I love you
He, he buys you diamonds
Bright, sparkling diamonds
But, believe me, dear, when I say
That he can give you the world but he'll never love the way
I love you
He can take you any place he wants
To fancy clubs and restaurants
But I can only watch you with
My nose pressed up against the window pane
I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Must watch you go dancing by
Wrapped in the arms of somebody else when, darling, it's I
Who loves you
I love you
I love you
I love you
|
| Maybe I'm Amazed | |
|
Baby, I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time,
And maybe I'm afraid of the way I leave you.
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you pulled me out of time,
You hung me on the line.
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you.
Baby, I'm a man, maybe I'm a lonely man
Who's in the middle of something
That he doesn't really understand.
Baby, I'm a man,
And maybe you're the only woman who could ever help me.
Baby, won't you help me to understand?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh.
Baby, I'm a man, maybe I'm a lonely man
Who's in the middle of something
That he doesn't really understand.
Baby, I'm a man,
And maybe you're the only woman who could ever help me.
Baby, won't you help me to understand?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you're with me all the time,
Maybe I'm afraid of the way leave you.
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you help me sing my song,
Right me when I'm wrong-
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you.

| I Keep Forgetting | |
|
(Leiber/Stoller)
I keep forgetting you don't love me no more
I keep forgetting you don't want me no more
I keep forgetting that you told me that you
Didn't want me around anymore
But these stupid old feet
Just head for your street
Like they've done so many times before
And this stubborn old fist
At the end of my wrist
Keeps knocking on your front door
I keep forgetting you don't love me no more
I keep forgetting you don't want me no more
I keep forgetting about those heartbreaking nights
Ant those heartbreaking things that you said
Though it's plain as can be
You're finished with me
I can't believe our love is dead
Though I know in my heart
We've drifted apart
I just can't get it through my head

| I Put a Spell on You | |
|
(Jay Hawkins)
I put a spell on you
'Cause you're mine
You better stop the things you do
I ain't lyin'
No I ain't lyin'
You know I can't stand it
You're runnin' around
You know better daddy
I can't stand it cause you put me down
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
You're mine
I love ya
I love you
I love you
I love you anyhow
And I don't care
if you don't want me
I'm yours right now
You hear me
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine

| Every Kind of People | |
|
(Fraser)
Said the fight to make ends meet
Keeps a man upon his feet
Holding down his job
Trying to show he can't be bought
It takes every kind of people
To make what life's about
Every kind of people
To make the world go 'round
Someone's looking for a lead
In his duty to a King or creed
Protecting what he feels is right
Fights against wrong with his life
There's no profit in deceit
Honest men know that
Revenge do not taste sweet
Whether yellow, black or white
Each and every man's the same inside
It takes every kind of people
To make what life's about
Every kind of people
To make the world go 'round
You know that love's the only goal
That could bring a peace to any soul
Hey, and every man's the same
He wants the sunshine in his name
It takes every kind of people
To make what life's about
Every kind of people
To make the world go 'round
It takes every kind of people
To make what life's about
Every kind of people
To make the world go 'round...

| Love Don't Live Here Any More | |
|
(Miles Gregory)
You abandoned me
Love don't live here any more
Just look back and see
Love don't live here any more
When you lived inside of me
There was nothing in the world you wouldn't do for me
Trouble seemed so far away
Then you changed and went away
And you abandoned me
Love don't live here any more
Just look back and see that
Love don't live here any more
Any more
Love don't live here any more
Just emptiness and memories over what we had before
Why did you have to go away
Find another place to stay
You abandoned me
Love don't live here any more
Just look back and see
Love don't live here any more
Yeah
Through the windows in my eyes
Everyone can see the loneliness inside of me
Don't you know I need you so
Why did you have to go
And abandon me
Love don't live here any more
Just look back and see that
Love don't live here any more
Yeah, don't live here any more
Love don't live here, don't live here any more
Any more
You went away and left me
Now love don't live here any more
Any more
Love don't live here any more

| Jealous Guy | |
|
(John Lennon)
I was dreaming of the past
And my heart was beating fast
I began to lose control
I began to lose control
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
I was feeling insecure
You might not love me anymore
I was shivering inside
I was shivering inside
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
I was trying to catch your eyes
Thought that you was trying to hide
I was swallowing my pain
I was swallowing my pain
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy, watch out
I'm just a jealous guy, look out babe
I'm just a jealous guy

| Everybody Hurts | |
|
(Berry)
[Originally by R.E.M.]
When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on.
Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.
Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along.
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on.
Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends.
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand.
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone
If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on.
Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes.
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on.
[Repeat & fade]
(Everybody hurts. You are not alone.)
