To The Republicans (Blocking The Jobs Bill)
blocking the jobs bill...
that's right!
dont let them go back to work!
dont give them back their dignity,
their self respect, their ability
to feed their families...
dont let them feel like human beings again....
why, if they get all of that,
they may want the rest of their rights....
they may want to act like they're free!
gotta keep them under your thumbs,
keep them beaten down....
gotta think about the next election!
blocking the jobs bill?
may you be unemployed soon!
tell me how that feels!

Never Say Die
You look so sad - like you lost your only friend
Dont feel so bad - you can always try again
So dont hide, go seek, dont let the grass grow
Under your feet
Get out, get up, get on, get moving out
Dont surrender - dont give up the fight
You give a little bit more
If you want her back - its a full attack
You give a little bit more
And if you wanna win you dont give in you
Give a little bit more
When you think youre through what you gotta do is
Give a little bit more
She said goodbye
So tell yourself thats all
(thats all, shes gone)
But your hands aint tied
Why you make yourself so small (dont think so small)
So dont hide - go seek - dont let the grass grow
Under your feet
Get out - get up - get on - get moving out
Dont surrender - dont give up the fight
You give a little bit more
If you want her back - its a full attack
You give a little bit more
And if you wanna win you dont give in
Give a little bit more
When you think youre through what you gotta do you
Give a little bit more
Dont give up the fight - you gotta keep on
Going with all you might
Try hard dont stop - gotta keep on giving it
All you got
Never give up - never give up - never say die
Believe in, can reach the top
Gotta give it a shot dont say no gotta
Get in the flow
So dont hide go seek
Dont runaway - get back on your feet
Get out - get up - get on - get moving out
Dont surrender - dont give up the fight
You give a little bit more
If you want her back - its a full attack
You give a little bit more
And if you wanna win you dont give in
Give a little bit more
When you think youre through what you gotta do
Give a little bit more

Dont Back Down
The girls dig the way the guys get all wiped out
With their feet in the air you can hear em shout
Theyre not afraid (dont back down, dont back down)
Not my boys (dont back down, dont back down)
They grit their teeth, (a-oo) they dont back down
Dont back down
You gotta be a little nuts
Dont back down
But show em now whos got guts
Dont back down
Dont back down from that wave
With their feet full of tar and their hair full of sand
The boys know the beach like the palm of their hand
Theyre not afraid (dont back down, dont back down)
Not my boys (dont back down, dont back down)
They grit their teeth (a-oo) they dont back down
Dont back down
You gotta be a little nuts
Dont back down
But show em now whos got guts
Dont back down
Dont back down from that wave
When a twenty-footer sneaks up like a ton of lead
And the crest comes along and slaps em upside the head
Theyre not afraid (dont back down, dont back down)
Not my boys (dont back down, dont back down)
They grit their teeth (a-oo) they dont back down
Dont back down
You gotta be a little nuts
Dont back down
But show em now whos got guts
Dont back down
Dont back down from that wave
Dont back down...

Some Of Your Lovin
Gerry goffin / carole king)
You gotta give me some
Give me some of your lovin
You gotta give me some of your lovin
Now Im not a greedy girl
I dont need the world

Some of your lovin now, oh, oh, oh, oh

Im aware you got a lot of wild oats to sow
But baby when I need you

Oh yes you do now
You gotta give me some of your lovin
Now Im not a jealous child
My demands are mild

Some of your lovin now, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I know a man likes to feel that hes been around
Before he decides to settle down
Ive no doubt
Some day youre gonna feel that way too
But baby, just remember

You gotta give me some

Oh yes you do now
I mean to tell you

Of your lovin

Respect yourself
And you will find your way
So practise what you pray
Dont run away
Respect yourself
Respect yourself
Respect yourself
And you will see the light

If you are feeling weak so deep inside
No place to run, no place to hide
R. E. S. P. E. C. T
Respect your destiny
If you dont know what is right or wrong
If you feel confused and your thoughts are gone
R. E. S. P. E. C. T
Respect yourself, be free

Dont care about what people say
Believe in yourself and go your own way
Respect - no resignation
Leave the path of isolation
Dont care about what people say
R.E.S.P.E.C.T , will never get away
Today, we stay, and pay attention anyway
Fairplay, everyday dont run away
3.
You dont know, no, what you dont know
Like the colours of the rainbow
Respect is the name of the game
Respect yourself and you never miss your aim
If you gonna show weakness
You gotta let them know
You dont know, no, what you dont know
If you really wanna grow, say no just go

Dont Want You Back
(max martin)
You hit me faster than a shark attack
You saw my picture
On the backstreets back, all right
And you were more than just a pretty face
But how you fooled me, Im still amazed baby
But I should have known that I would be
Another victim of your sexuality
But now were done and over with
I dont want you back
Chorus
Dont want you back
cause youre no good for me
I know
Thats all I can say
Dont want you back
Forgive my honesty but you gotta go
I dont want you back
You started going out with so-called friends
But I was blind and so I lost all common sense
But there were things that made me realise
Like all the hundred no, thousand lies
Chorus
Baby, dont bother telling me your reasons why
Just let us sing this story bout you and i
Dont want you back
Thats all I know
Dont want you back
All I can say
Dont want you back
You know you gotta go

Gotta Get Used To You
(jean-alain roussel)
Who dyou think youre kidding?
You walk out on my life
Now, youre back again
And you think that nothings changed
Denying superstitions, defying traditions
It seems like weve been through this before
Now, its gonna be like starting all over again
Oh, baby, dont you know?
Its gonna be like starting all over again
I gotta get used to you
I gotta get used to you, again
I gotta get used to you
I got to get used to you, again
You know I love to feel you
Reach the depth of my heart
Deep inside of me
The way it used to do
Ive had so many lovers
No-one could ever tame me
They all seem to rub me the wrong way
They always get my back up
No-one seems to do the things that you do for me
And now that youre back in my life again
I gotta get used to you
I gotta get used to you, again
I gotta get used to you
I got to get used to you, again
I gotta get used to you
I gotta get used to you, again
I gotta get used to you
I got to get used to you, again
I gotta get used to you
I gotta get used to you, again
I gotta get used to you
I got to get used to you, again
I gotta get used to you
I gotta get used to you, again
I gotta get used to you
I got to get used to you, again
I gotta get used to you
I gotta get used to you, again
I gotta get used to you
I got to get used to you, again
I gotta get used to you
I gotta get used to you, again

All I want to do is to dance with you honey
Please tell me you have the time

Gotta get back on the street again.

Gotta get back on the street again.

Backtalk
I work all day to make a livin
No one needs
Your kind of attitude
Your sharp tongue
It cuts me like a razor
Lip service gets you nowhere
No, no, no
Back talk I dont need it
B-b-b-back talk I dont need it
No, no, no back talk
Dont want to hear it
Dont give me no back talk
Watch that temper
You watch what youre sayin
Dont talk to me
With that tone of voice
Your act is pushin me
To the limit
Cant stand it, cant stand it
Cant take it any more
Dont wont back talk
I dont need it
Dont give me back talk
I dont want to hear it
Dont give me back talk
Dont need it, no
I believe you enjoy
This aggravation
Lately thats all I get from you
You were born to drive me crazy
Cant take it, cant take it any more from you
No, no more
Back talk, I dont need it
Back talk, I dont need it
Back talk, dont want to hear it
Dont give me no back talk
Sassy back talk
Dont give me no sassy back talk
No I dont want to hear it
No dont really need it
No dont give me no
Give me no dont you give me no

Big Bad Bill (is Sweet William Now)
Well,way down yonder in louisville,
Lived a cat named big bad bill,
I wants to tell ya,
Ah the cat was rough and tough and would strutt his stuff
Had the whole town scared to death,
When he walked by they all held their breath,
Hes a fighting man, sure enough
And then bill got himself a wife,
Now he leads a different life...
Big bad bill is sweet william now,
Married life done changed him somehow,
Hes the man the town used to fear,
Now they all call him sweet pappa willie dear,
Stronger than samson I declare,
Til the brown skinned woman,
Bobbed his hair
Big bad bill dont fight any more,( no he dont )
Doing the dishes,mopping up that floor ( yes he is )
Well he used to go out drinking,
Looking for a fight,
Now he gotta see that woman,everynight,
Big bad bill is sweet william now
Ah play it boys.
I likes that jazz.
Big bad bill dont fight any more,( no he dont )
Doing the dishes,mopping up that floor ( yes he is )
Well he used to go out drinking,
Looking for a fight,
Now he gotta see that woman,everynight,
Big bad bill is sweet william now ( doing the dishes )
Big bad bill is sweet william now ( mop up dat floor )
Big bad bill is sweet william now

Want To
Baby, youre only a sleeping beauty for a little while
Hoping no prince heats up your day
That you can be ionely all this time in unbelievable
Playing deaf and dumb, just afraid
Chorus:
Gotta be high when youre walking an fire
If you want to
Gotta be cool when youre breaking the rules
Because you want to
Gotta be strong, really got to move on
I know you want to
Gotta be true, you do what you do
Because you want to
Dont cha want to
And you wanna babe
I know you
Go with your urges, holding back is just a puppy show
You dont need so be-bop to play
Whatever you think your friends might say is immaterial
What they dont know might show you the way
Chorus:
Gotta be high when youre walking on fire
If you wart to
Gotta be cool when youre breaking the rules
Because you want to
Gotta be strong, yeah you carry on
I know you wart to
Gotta be true, you do what you do
Because you want to
Dont cha want to
You know you want to
Because it feels right
Because it wont bite
Now that youve found your way around, you want to run to me
Hey dont waste no time
See that sleeping beauty waking up beside-a me
Making me feel so good just to see you smile
Chorus: (repeat)
Gotta desire when youre walking on fire
I know you want to
Gotta be free when youre walking with me
Dont you want to
Maybe its time to do what you do
Because you want to
Gotta be high when youre walking on fire

Cumberland Blues
I cant stay much longer, melinda, the sun is getting high.
I cant help you with your troubles, if you wont help with mine.
I gotta get down, I gotta get down, I gotta get down to the mine.
You keep me up just one more night, I cant sleep here no more.
Little ben clock says quarter to eight; you kept me up till four.
I gotta get down, I gotta get down, or I cant work there no more.
A lotta poor man make a five dollar bill, keep him happy all the time.
Some other fellas makin nothin at all and you can hear him cry,
Can I go, buddy, can I go down take your shift at the mine?
Gotta get down to the cumberland mine.
Gotta get down to the cumberland mine.
Thats where I mainly spend my time.
Make good money, five dollars a day. made anymore, I might move away.
Lotta poor man got the cumberland blues he cant win for losin
Lotta poor man got to walk the line just to pay his union dues.
I dont know now, I just dont know if Im goin back again.

Got To Be Free
(malik pendelton/nicole johnson)
Ive got to be free
Gotta be, gotta be free
Ive got to be free
Gotta be, gotta be free
Long goodbyes, stolen glances
Cant explain all thats happened in our past
Im tired of creating lies to be alone
Im living wrong, were living wrong
More and more you make me
Afraid to come around
You take the pleasure out of being in love
And being down and down and down and down and down
For the one whos there for me
All I really want to be is free, yeah
Ive got to be free, got to be free
Gotta be, gotta be free
Ive got to be free, got to be free
Gotta be, gotta be free
You dont know why, havent got a clue
In the dark about why I am leaving you
You cant expect me to go on this way
No, I cannot stay, I will not stay
More and more you make me
Realize what I have home
Whats taboos exciting
But sometimes it just gets old
Sometimes it just gets old
For as long as I am me, boy
All I really want to be is free
Ive got to be free, got to be free
Gotta be, gotta be free
Ive got to be free, got to be free
Gotta be, gotta be free
Ive got to be free, got to be free
Gotta be, gotta be free

I dont wanna be
(be without you, be without you)
I dont wanna live
(live without you, live without you)
I dont wanna go
(go without you, go without you)
I dont wanna be alone
Verse1:
When we hooked up
We sat down
Made an agreement
We vowed that
That wed always be together
Through whatever
We said that no one ever would
Get between us
So love will never ever leave us
That was a while ago,oh
But now lately
It feels like
I mean I feel like
All we do is fight
Every single night
Cant make it tight
Cant get it right
I just wanna go back
Take it way back
All the way back
Can we start again?
Do it over?
Can we straighten it out?
Can we work it out?
Chorus 2x:
I dont wanna be

I dont wanna be alone
Verse 2:
Do you realize
I cant sleep without you
Think without you
Eat without you
Speak without you
Be without you,i cant even breathe without you
I cant feel without you, deal without you
Spend without you
My whole world is upside down
Dont wanna go out
Cause I cant ride without you
Feel like Im goin die without you
What is a girl supposed to do?
When I spend my last time to be in your life
I dont wanna be without you
Chorus:
I dont wanna be
(be without you, be without you)
Said I cant live
(live without you, live without you)

Said I dont wanna, be alone
Bridge:
How can this be?
That its not working out
(that its not working out)
We vowed
(to be--always together)
Its hurting me

That we dont talk no more
(it wasnt supposed to be this way
Where did we go wrong?
We both made mistakes
We gotta carry on)

Back off baby
Dont lean too hard
Ill come round when Im ready
I aint finished my playing round
Dont want to go steady

Youve gotta wait till I reach the ground
No need to be lying

Dont try so hard
Dont spoil your chance
Dont try so hard

Respect Yourself
respect yourself!
dont sell your time
too cheaply.
dont live for possessions.
dont give yourself
to anyone you dont love.
dont try to be
like everyone else.
dont settle!
dont always follow...

feel free to doubt!
dont blame your life
on anyone else.
take responsibility
