Maybellene
(words & music by chuck berry)
Maybellene, why cant you be true?
Oh maybellene, why cant you be true?
Youve started back doing the things you used to do.
As I was motivatin over the hill
I saw maybellene in a coup de ville.
A cadillac a-rollin on the open road,
Nothin will outrun my v8 ford.
The cadillac doin bout ninety-five,
Shes bumper to bumber rollin side by side.
Maybellene, why cant you be true?
Oh maybellene, why cant you be true?
Youve started back doing the things you used to do.
The cadillac moved to a hundred and four
Got hot and wouldnt do no more
It got cloudy and started to rain
Tooted my horn in the passing lane
The rain water blowin all under my hood
I knew that was doin my motor no good
Maybellene, why cant you be true?
Oh maybellene, why cant you be true?
Youve started back doing the things you used to do.
Maybellene, why cant you be true?
Oh maybellene, why cant you be true?
Youve started back doing the things you used to do.
The motor cooled down, the heat went down
And thats when I heard that highway sound.
The cadillac a-sittin like a ton of lead
A hundred and ten a half a mile ahead.
The cadillac lookin like its sittin still
And I caught mabellene at the top of the hill.
Maybellene, why cant you be true?
Oh maybellene, why cant you be true?
Youve started back doing the things you used to do.
Youve started back doing the things you used to do.

Its Up To You
Some people are very hard to shake awake
Some things are hard to define
Some lazy peopleve got haze on the brain
No motivation vacations holidays

You
It's now become the saddest story
I was never worth the worry
Not that you would notice anyway
But when I'm walking in my sleep
The floor is cold beneath my feet
And as I step
You're with me everyday
You oh you
You've gone and started something
That you won't see through
You oh you
You've got this thing about
What should be coming true
Was a friend
Things were different then
Either way I have to lose
Now it seems
There's a distance between
What you say and what you do
You're steps will always lead me here
I've found myself in God knows where
It's something I will always seem to do
You know you'll ask me how I've been
But what exactly do you mean
What would you like for me to say to you
You oh you
Gone and started something
That you won't see through
You oh you
You've got this thing about
What should be coming true
You were a friend
Things were different then
Either way I have to lose
Now it seems
There's a distance between
What you say and what you do
Was a friend
Things were different then
Either way I have to lose
Now it seems
There is a distance between
What you say and what you do
You oh you
You've gone and started something
That you won't see through
You oh you
Got this thing about
What should be coming true
You oh you
You oh you
You oh you
Gone and started something
That you won't see through
You oh you

I Only Want To Be With You
I dont know what is that makes me love you so
I only know I never wanna let you go
cause you started something, cant you see?
That ever since we met youve ahd a hold on me
It happens to be true
I only want to be with you
It doesnt matter where you go or what you do
I wanna spend each moment of the day with you
Look what has happened with just one kiss
I never knew that I could be in love like this
Its crazy but its true
I only want to be with you
You stopped and smiled at me, asked me if Id care to dance
I fell into your open arms and I didnt stand a chance
Now listen honey, I just wanna be beside you everywhere
As long as were together, honey, I dont care
cause you started something, cant you see
That ever since we met youve had a hold on me
No matter what you do
I only want to be with you
No matter what you do
I only want to be with you

Rays dads cadillac
Rollin past the rink
Past the record shack
Pink fins in the falling rain
Rollin
To the blue lights past the water mains

Weekends wed get

Rock n roll in the dashboard
Romance in the back of

Rays dad teaches math

Im a dunce
Im a decimal in his class
Last nights kisses wont erase

I just cant keep the numbers in their place

Last night we had
Rays dads cadillac
Rock n roll in the dashboard
Romance in the back of

When it comes to mathematics
I got static in the attic
No sir, nothins clear!
Ill be blackboard blind on monday
Dreamin of blue runways
On the edge of here
A little atmosphere
Blue lights out on airport road
Motown, in a field in a farmers grove
Big planes comin overhead
Lowdown
You can see the bolts
You can see the tire treads

Weekends wed get
Rays dads cadillac
Oh, little darlin
Rock n roll in the dashboard
Romance in the back of

Since Youve Been Gone
J. spinks
Since youve been gone
Theres something I wanna say
Since youve been gone
Theres no one taking your place
Since youve been gone
Ive just been foolin around
Since youve been gone
This worlds been turned upside down
Didnt think Id find a girl that I could not forget
Anything we started not so long ago - aint over yet
Since youve been gone
Staring at your photograph
And I know it wont be long
An I know youre coming back
You turned me on
Since the first time I set eyes on you
You turned me on
Ooh the things you want me to do
Dont get me wrong
cos youre not the only girl Ive ever had
But since youve been gone
Girl you know the thought of yous driving me mad
All I do is think of you I lie awake - lie awake
And no matter how I try this loneliness - you know I cant take
Since youve been gone
Staring at your photograph
And I know it wont be long
An I know youre coming back
Since youve been gone
Theres something I wanna say
Since youve been gone
Theres no one to stand in my way
Since youve been gone
So scared of losing this time
Since youve been gone
Girl you know that I cant get you out of my mind
Since youve been gone
Staring at your photograph
And I know that I was wrong
An I know youre coming back
Since youve been gone
Tried my best to read between the lines
If some things are hard to say
You better tell me one more time
Since youve been gone
Since youve been gone

We Are One
You are not alone and how long can you run
Its much to late if you dont know what youve got til its gone
Once upon a time you were a child but that was yesterday
Believed that magic in your heart would never fade away
But hold your head up high and let your spirits fly
Keep hope alive yes deep inside and your dreams will never die
We are one
Everywhere I go, everyone I see
And I see my face looking back at me
We are one
Everything I know, what I know is true
Everyone of us is inside of you
We are one
We are one
Oooh take a breath, close your eyes youre on the road again
And then you realize theyve brought you back to life again
Somethings never change but if you fantasize
Youll feel it deep inside yourself and then youll realize
When you feel it coming
When you hear the sound
Youll always laugh when you wanna cry
And then youll know it deep inside
We are one
Everywhere I go, everyone I see
And I see my face looking back at me
We are one
Everything I know, what I know is true
Everyone of us is inside of you
We are one
We are one
You are me, I am you
What you see, is all true
(its all true)
You are me, I am you
What you see, is all true
(its all true)
You are me, I am you
(we are one)
What you see, is all true
(I am you) (we are one) (its all true)
You are me, I am you
(we are one)
What you see, is all true
(we are one)
We are one
Everywhere I go, everyone I see
And I see my face looking back at me

Everything I know, what I know is true
Everyone of us is inside of you

Hold Back The Tears
Hello, my old friend.
Its good to see you smiling.
Youve been around so long, you must be strong.
And single life really has its fine points,
Like friends to help you out when things go wrong.
Hold back the tears
That youve been cryin.
Push off the fears
When they come around.
Hold back the tears,
And keep on trying.
Just around the next corner
May be waiting your true love.
Two lying fools,
And then four cryin eyes,
Counting on one another to survive.
Crazy love must surely have this pain,
If getting up means going down again.
Hold back the tears
That youve been cryin.
Push off the fears
When they come around.
Hold back the tears,
And keep on trying.
Just around the next corner
May be waiting your true love.

Semi-true Story
By: mac mcanally
With his head out the sunroof
And his heart in the right place
Plan b was foolproof
He drove off to her place
He yelled out his feelings
Among other stuff
It was too much tequila
Or not quite enough
It was too much tequila
Or not quite enough
Its a semi-true story
Believe it or not
I made up a few things
And theres some I forgot
But the life and the telling
Are both real to me
And they all run together
And turn out to be
A semi-true story
Well the picture is fuzzy
And the details are sorted
It was on the same day that gods own drunk was recorded
A walking tall sheriff and a big cadillac
And me and golf shoes on the hood making tracks
This daring young singer was under attack
Its a semi-true story
Believe it or not
I made up a few things
And theres some I forgot
But the life and the telling
Are both real to me
And they all run together
And turn out to be
A semi-true story
Well the things that Ive lived
And Ive dreamed
And Ive seen
And Ive heard
Youll take the good with the bad
And be glad that every word
Its a semi-true story
Believe it or not
I made up a few things
And theres some I forgot
But the life and the telling
Are both real to me
And they run like the rain
All the way to the sea

Too Gone, Too Long
Youve been too gone, too long,
Its too late to come back now
Its been so long since you walked out my door
Now youre just an old song nobody sings anymore
I gotta a new love and shes the true love
But darlin how could you have known?
Cause youve been too gone, for too long
Now its too late to come back home
Youve been a long way, goin the wrong way
Dont even set your suitcase down
You wanted to roam, now youre paying the bills
Youre an old rollin stone who ran over the hills
I had a good cry when you said goodbye
I didnt wanna let you go
But youve been too gone for too long
Now its too late to come back home
I had a good cry when you said goodbye
I didnt wanna let you go
But youve been too gone for too long
So why dont you just stay gone?
Youve been too gone for too long

The Bottom Line
Rick astley
When we were out dancing the other night
You almost got me into another fight
You always want to prove youve got the touch, baby
To make all the other guys want you so much
But if you ever do that to me
Just one more time
I swear to you that I will blow
And baby thats

The bottom line
The bottom line
If you really love me like you say
Wouldnt keep on hurting me this way
You always turn away when I call your name
And baby things just stay the same
So if you ever do that to me
Just one more time
I swear to you that I will blow
And baby thats

All that you have ever done for me
Is show just how rotten life can be
But this has taught me one thing thats for sure yeah

And if she ever does that to me

And baby thats

Better Than I Know Myself
You were there - at the moment I began
When the child became a man
Saw my future in the making - saw the path my life was taking
You saw a million things Ill never understand
You know me better than I know myself
Better than I know myself
Time after time youve shown it to be true
That no one loves me like you
You are here so let it rain or let it shine
You are with me all the time
When Im waking - when Im sleeping
In the secret thoughts Im keeping
You know everything about this heart of mine
You know me better than I know myself
Better than I know myself
Time after time youve shown it to be true
That no one loves me like you
Youll be there - when the end of time has come
And I know youll take me home
So I thank you for tomorrow
All my joys and all my sorrows
And I thank you for the greatest thing Ive known
You know me better than I know myself
Better than I know myself
Time after time youve shown it to be true
That no one loves me like you

Only You
Hold me forever
Whisper the words Ive waited so long to hear
Loves sweet surrender
Steals an embrace and kisses away the tears
Lookin back down the road of love
We can still feel the heartache
Pain and joy of an unrelenting love
Hold us together
Chorus:
Only you
Youve got control
Only you
Youve got the key to my heart
Only you
Youve got control
Need your love, take me forever
Sad empty faces
Faded away when I fell in love with you
True love erases
Fear and the doubt not knowing wed see things through
So in love, unaware of time
In a world of illusion
We fell in love until the end of time
True love, forever

Love Will Rise Again
Words and music: todd carney taylor rhodes
Youve been hurt and left for dead
Shot from the saddle
And your heart, its been cut and bled
Run from the bottle
Youve been shattered, battered, youve had it rough
But never, ever, never give up
Cause love will rise, love will rise
Love will rise again
Youve got to fight like a true survivor
Love will rise again
Up from the ashes
Love will rise again... and again
You better run and hide away
Lost in the shadows
Youre alone, you wear the pain
Just like a medal
Youve been shot down, brought down
Youve had it rough
But never, ever, never give up
Cause love will rise, love will rise
Love will rise again
Youve got to fight like a true survivor
Love will rise again
Up from the ashes
Love will rise again...and again
Believe me I know where youve been
I used to be one of the wounded
Theres something your heart cant defend
Im bock on my feet, I come back alive
Stand up and fight, never say die
Up from the ashes, love will rise
Love will rise again
Youve got to fight like a true survivor
Love will rise again
Up from the ashes
Love will rise
Love will rise again
Love will rise again
Love will rise again

Do It Again
Standing in the middle of nowhere,
Wondering how to begin.
Lost between tomorrow and yesterday,
Between now and then.
And now were back where we started,
Here we go round again.
Day after day I get up and I say
I better do it again.
Where are all the people going?
Round and round till we reach the end.
One day leading to another,
Get up, go out, do it again.
Then its back where you started,
Here we go round again.
Back where you started,
Come on do it again.
And you think today is going to be better,
Change the world and do it again.
Give it all up and start all over,
You say you will but you dont know when.
Then its back where you started,
Here we go round again.
Day after day I get up and I say
Come on do it again.
The days go by and you wish you were a different guy,
Different friends and a new set of clothes.
You make alterations and affect a new pose,
A new house, a new car, a new job, a new nose.
But its superficial and its only skin deep,
Because the voices in your head keep shouting in your sleep.
Get back, get back.
Back where you started, here we go round again,
Back where you started, come on do it again.
Back where you started, here we go round again,
Day after day I get up and I say, do it again.
Do it again.
Day after day I get up and I say, come on do it again.

Doin The Thing That We Want To
The other night we went to see sams play
Doin the things that we want to
It was very physical it held you to the stage
Doin the things that he wants to
Doin the things that he wants to
The guys a cowboy from some rodeo
Doin the things that he wants to
The girl had once loved him, but now she want to go
Doin the things that she wants to
Doin the things that she wants to
The man was bullish, the woman was a tease
Doin the things that they want to
They fought with their words, their bodies and their deeds
Doin the things that they want to
When they finished fighting, they exited the stage
Doin the things that they want to
I was firmly struck by the way they had behaved
Doin the things that they want to
Doin the things that they want to
Hey
It reminds me of the movies marty made about new york
(doin the things that he wants to)
Those frank and brutal movies that are so brilliant
(doin the things that he wants to)
True love meet the raging bull
(doin the things that he wants to)
Theyre very inspirational, I love the things they do
(doin the things that he wants to)
Doin the things that I want to
Theres not much you hear on the radio today
(doin the things that we want to)
But you could still see a movie or a play
(doin the things that we want to)
Heres to travis bickle and heres johnny boy
(doin the things that we want to)
Growing up in the mean streets of new york
(doin the things that we want to)
I wrote this song cause Id like to shake your hand
(doin the things that we want to)
In a way you guys are the best friends I ever had
(doin the things that we want to)
Doin the things that we want to
