A Greater Than He
Baby sits upon the floor,
Baby's scarce a twelvemonth old;
Baby laughs, and _goo-goos_ o'er
Memories how a babe of yore
Humbled Glooskap bold.
Glooskap was a man of might,
Skilled in magic, huge of limb;
Giant, wizard, goblin, sprite,
Ghost, witch, devil, imp of night,
All had fled from him.
Then he questioned: 'Can there be
Further labors to be done?
Breathes there one to equal me,
Who before me will not flee?'
Quoth a squaw: 'Yes, one.'
'Name him,' angry Glooskap cried,
'Baby,' said she, 'And be warned--
If you meddle, woe betide
All your glory, all your pride!
For you will be scorned,'
Baby sat upon the ground,
Harming none, and sucked his thumb,
Gazing with a look profound
Upon Glooskap and around,
Solon-wise, Sphinx-dumb.
Glooskap never married was,
So he thought, like all his kind,
That he knew the nursery laws
Wholly, and with ease could cause
Service prompt and blind.
Sweetly, the magician smiled,
Like the summer sun, and said:
'Hither, Baby.' But the child,
By the sweet smile unbeguiled,
Only shook his head.
Like a bird among the trees,
Singing, Glooskap spake once more:
Baby listened to the glees,
Sucked his thumb, and sat at ease
Still upon the floor.
Thundering, the magician spoke:
'Hither, Baby, I command!'
Baby stirred not, only broke
Into wailings that awoke
All the desert land.
Mystic song and magic spell,
Fit to raise the very dead,
Fit to rule the imps that dwell
In the deepest depths of Hell,
Glooskap sang and said.
All was vain. Upon the floor
Baby sat, and heard each lay,
Listened close, and called for more,
When each mystic song was o'er,
But did not obey.
Then the baffled warrior wept;
And the baby in delight,
Sitting where a sunbeam slept,
Laughed and crowed, and crowing kept,
Till his foe took flight.

Oh! No Not My Baby
(gerry goffin, carole king)
[a side of mercury 6052 371, 1973]
When my friends told me you had someone new,
I didnt believe a single word was true
I told them all I had faith in you.
I kept a-right on sayin
Oh, no, not my baby,
Oh no, not my sweet baby.
Youre not like all those other girls
Who play with the mens hearts like they were toys.
My mama told me, son when rumors spread
That there is truth somewhere,
And you should use your head.
But sure didnt listen to what she said,
Dont you know I kept a-right on sayin
Oh, no, not my baby,
Oh no, not my sweet baby.
Youre not like all those other girls
Who lead you on and tell you lies
No, no, my baby
Tell me, baby
I dont believe what they say, no
Oh, no, not my baby,
Oh no, not my sweet baby.
Oh, no, not my baby,
Oh no, not my sweet baby.
Not my baby, not my baby
Not my baby, not my baby
Not my baby, not my baby
Not my sweet sweet baby,
Not my baby, not my baby
Not my baby, not my baby
Not my baby, not my baby
No way, not my baby
Not my baby, not my baby
Not my sweet sweet baby
Oh, no, not my baby,
Oh no, not my sweet baby.
Oh, no, not my baby,
Oh no, not my sweet baby.
Oh, no, not my baby,
Oh no, not my sweet baby.
Oh, no, not my baby,
Oh no, not my sweet baby.

Four Sticks
Oh, baby, its cryin time,
Oh, baby, I got to fly.
Got to try to find a way,
Got to try to get away,
cause you know I gotta get away from you, babe.
Oh, baby, the rivers red,
Oh, baby, in my head.
Theres a funny feelin goin on,
I dont think I can hold out long.
*and when the owls cry in the night,
Oh, baby, baby, when the pines begin to cry,
Baby, baby, baby, how do you feel?
If the river runs dry, baby,
How do you feel?
Craze, baby, the rainbows end,
Mmm, baby, its just a den
For those who hide,
Who hide their love to depths of life
And ruin dreams that we all knew so, babe.

It Be's That Way Sometime
When your guy has got his hat, and made himself hard to find
It doesn? mean you should go crazy, it be? that way sometime
Find yourself another love who will treat you good and kind
Return that love he gives to you, it also be? that way sometime
Baby, yes it does
Baby, yes it does
Baby, yes it does

When you think you?e found a love and you have peace of mind somebody else

Just smile look at the problem and say it be? that way sometime

Ooohhh Baby
Youre the kind of girl that
Everybodys warned me about
Youre the kind of person that
Everybodys here staring at
But now you are a topless dancer
Working out of a bar on times spuare
And everybody wishes you were back down in some corner
Only baby know, you make me go
Ooohhh baby, ooohhh baby, ooohhh baby
Ooohhh-ooohhh-ooohhh
Ooohhh baby, ooohhh baby, ooohhh baby
Ooohhh-ooohhh-ooohhh
Your old man was the best p and e man
Down on the streets
And all the guy in the precinct
Always was watching for him on the beat
But when he ripped off seymour
He was really not a doing so fine
And everything is knots, well except -
- his hands and legs and maybe even mime
He see they just make them strip off, they say
Ooohhh baby, ooohhh baby, ooohhh
Ooohhh baby, ooohhh
Ooohhh baby, ooohhh baby, ooohhh
Hey, baby, ooohhh-ooohhh
Its very funny asking me
Why they keep the lights on down so low
Well, yesterdays chases todays competition
Or didnt you know
And all the fluorescent lighting make so your wrinkles
They dont show
And its very funny the way that
20 bucks an hour cannot go
If you dont make em go, now, now, now
Ooohhh baby, ooohhh baby, ooohhh
Ooohhh baby, ooohhh
Ooohhh baby, ooohhh baby, ooohhh baby
Ooohhh-ooohhh-ooohhh
Everybody wondered bout you when you was seen
In drinking some beer
You got here from ohio and your mother said
You hooked her in the real near
Thats the way it goes now
Ooohhh baby, ooohhh baby, ooohhh baby
Ooohhh-ooohhh-ooohhh
Hey, shake your bones now, mama
Ooohhh baby, ooohhh baby, ah
Hey, ooohhh baby, ooohhh
Walk it, now
(ooohhh baby, ooohhh, ooohhh baby, ooohhh) get down
(ooohhh baby, ooohhh, ooohhh baby, ooohhh)
(ooohhh baby, ooohhh, ooohhh baby, ooohhh)
(ooohhh baby, ooohhh, ooohhh baby, ooohhh)

Thug Love
I need you; I feel the hurt
Trying to numb it, but it just don't work
I could take a sip, or I could take a hit
Pop a few pills, don't help a bit
Slam on the gas, ain't going nowhere
But in the end, nowhere's better than here
My baby, baby, baby
Though he's not here now
My baby, baby, baby
I bet you wonder how
I could say I'm tru, I'm magic, he's real
We'll get through, it's tragic, we'll heal
I knew one day he'd get down, he'd kneel
And then he'd tell me the way he feel
But even before, there was a connection
God sent us in the same direction
My baby, baby, baby
Got the heart of the biggest lion
My baby, baby, baby
Biggest problem he never lying
Three and a half, three and a half
Please tell me your talking bout months
Three and a half, three and a half
Shit, that's just tough
Countin down the days,2 hundo to go
And when I get to one, baby only you know

Like A Baby
(words & music by jesse stone)
You gave me love to enjoy
Like a bright shiny toy to a baby
No matter what you would do
I depended on you like a baby
One thing I know I love you
Yes I loved you like a baby
It was a fool that you took
And I think cause you look like a baby
To lovers ways I was blind
cause I just had a mind like a baby
Youre just a flirt
And I had to be her guide like a baby
I need you so, I need you so
The day I found I am alive
Then I broke down and cried like a baby
Well it was then I could see
You were playing with me like a baby
Well you can bet that some day
Ill forget just like a baby

Im The Cat
Baby, Im around you enough to know when youre coming down
And I am there with a smile, prepared to bring you around
Youre thinking that youve got me trained
Im aware of that
But when you need your outlook changed
Baby, Im the cat
Baby, Im allowed to be late when Im coming home
You know Ill be there when I want to
And you let me roam
You think youve got me figured out
I dont know about that
But when you want to twist and shout
Baby, Im the cat
Baby, I might not be all that
Your fortune cookie promised you
But I will do
Im the cat
Baby I . . . baby Im the cat
Oh yeah . . . baby Im the cat
Baby, Im in love with the way you scratch my back
Youve got the only thing I want
And thats a fact
And when sometimes we disagree
You take me to the mat
But when I get you spinning free
Baby Im the cat
Baby, I might not be all that
The gypsy woman prophesized
But be advised
Im the cat
Baby I might not be all that
Your magic 8 ball said Id be
But you will see
Im the cat
Baby I . . . baby Im the cat
Oh yeah . . . baby Im the cat

Out Of Time
(jagger/richards)
You dont know whats going on
Youve been away for far too long
You cant come back and think you are still mine
Youre out of touch, my baby
My poor discarded baby
I said, baby, baby, baby, youre out of time
Well, baby, baby, baby, youre out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, youre out of time
You are all left out
Out of there without a doubt
cause baby, baby, baby, youre out of time
You thought you were a clever girl
Giving up your social whirl
But you cant come back and be the first in line, oh no
Youre obsolete my baby
My poor old-fashioned baby
I said baby, baby, baby youre out of time
Well, baby, baby, baby, youre out of time

I Can' Let Go
Would You Believe
The Hollies
I Can't Let Go
(Chip Taylor/Al Gorgoni)
Single release february 1966 and track 12 (final)
on album 'Would You Believe' June 1966.
{guitar intro on overmuted G-chord}
Oh I try and I try but I can't say goodbye.
Feel so bad, baby.
Oh, it hurts me
when think of how you lovin' desert me.
I'm the broken-hearted toy you play with, baby.
You got me going (I can't let go)
I need you, baby.
I can't let go, and I want you, baby (and I want you, baby)
I got a habit you know: I can't let go.
Though I'm just one of your lovers,
and I know there are so many others,
you do something strange to me, baby, baby, baby, baby.
You got me going (I can't let go)
I need you, baby.
I can't let go, and I want you, baby (and I want you, baby)
I got a habit you know: I can't let go.
{intro replayed}
I try and I try but I can't say goodbye.
Know that it's wrong and I should be so strong
but the thought of you gone makes me want to hold on.
{guitar interlude}
You got me going (I can't let go)
I need you, baby.
I can't let go, and I want you, baby (and I want you, baby)
I got a habit you know: I can't let go.
You got me going (I can't let go)
I need you, baby.
I can't let go, and I want you, baby (and I want you, baby)
