Shame
(sung with hal ketchum) written by neil diamond and hal ketchum
(check it out
Im a little man
But youre my woman
And together well be strong)
The end of the road, is lonesome and cold
Aint no place for making a stand
I got too much of you on my mind
Too much time on my hands
Some people say there just aint no way
We can hold on and see this thing thru
I dont care what they say
They never loved one like you
Shame, it comes in every size
Touches many lives
Knocks on many doors
Shame, Ive seen it in your eyes
Hurt you with their lies
But words dont count at all
Because I dont care what they say
There aint no shame in loving you
I remember the day that I drove you away
Lord that whistle gave a lonesome moan
The train that took you away
Is gonna bring you back home
And Ill be standing right there in the cold mornng air
When that train comes a rolling in
Knowing, once youre back in my arms
You wont be leaving again
Shame, it comes in every size
Touches many lives
Knocks on many doors
Shame, Ive seen it in your eyes
Theyll hurt you with their lies
But their words dont count at all
Because I dont care what they say
There aint no shame in loving you
No, I dont care what they say
There aint no shame in loving you
Me, I dont care what they say
There aint no shame in loving you

Porterville
Its been an awful long time since I been home,
But you wont catch me goin back down there alone.
Things they said when I was young are quite enough to get me hung.
I dont care! I dont care!
They came and took my dad away to serve some time,
But it was me that paid the debt he left behind.
Folks said I was full of sin, because I was the next of kin.
I dont care! I dont care!
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo!
I dont care! I dont care!
Folks were out one night to put me up a fence,
And you can guess that Ive been runnin ever since.
Aint no one thats bout to help, and Ill keep on, I tell myself.
I dont care! I dont care!
I dont care! I dont care!
I dont care! I dont care!
Aint no one thats bout to help,
And Ill keep on, I tell myself.
I dont care! I dont care!
I dont care! I dont care!

You Just Cant Win
One more coffee
One more cigarette
One more morning trying to forget.
If I had the chance
To join your dance
I wouldnt like to bet,
Your game is something yet
Its a shame,
Aint natural for you,
Baby, its a sin,
You know you just cant win
When you are in.
You used to ride on buses
Take a tube to camden town.
Now you go by aeroplane
Dont let nothing bring you down.
Its a shame,
Aint natural for you,
Baby, its a sin,
Dont you know you just cant win
When you are in.
Now the road is dark and lonely,
But you got a pearl light mode.
Youre up in park lane now
And Im somewhere around
In tottenham court road.
Its a shame,
Aint natural for you,
Baby, its a sin,
Dont you know you just cant win
When you are in.
No, you just cant win,
No, you just cant win
When you are in.

Shame
Ive done things God shouldve questioned
But I dont care.
Ive seen things that made my flesh crawl
But I was young.
Ive said things that you believed in
But I dont mean.
I heard things, one more confession that
Leaves me cold.
My picture ashames you
My picture
My picture ashames me
My picture
This aint love, this aint affection
But you dont care.
This aint need, Im not the fashion
So leave my heart.
So good God were you mistaken
Now will I burn?
No more lies no more distraction
So pay you back.
Religion ashames you
Religion
Religion ashames me
Religion
Im lying shame on me
(secrets forever)
This disease shame on me
(secrets forever)
My memories shame on me
(secrets forever)
Abandon,abandon me
(secrets forever)
This fashion ashames you
This fashion
This passion ashames me
This passion
Ill never ashame you
Ill never ashamed me.
A stranger, shame on me
(secrets forever)
Nostalgia, shame on me
(secrets forever)
Religion, shame on me
(secrets forever)
Abandon, abandon me.
Ive done things God shouldve questioned
But I dont care.

Its Over Now
What is this?
Numbers in your pocket
I remember when you
Used to throw those things away
Why do you wanna keep in touch now?
Who gave you a reason?
To act so shady
Baby you know
You can call me anytime
Anything you needed I would give it to you
Ooh, thats how much I care for you
You wanna act now
Never call me back now
Turning off your cell phone
Girl you know that aint cool
Yes I dont understand baby yeah
[1] - baby its a shame we gotta go through this
We cant even talk
Girl we dont even kiss
I never wouldve thought
Wed be breaking up like this
But its over now
Its over now
You think that I dont know whats going on
Cause youre always home alone
And Im always out of town
You need to stop trying to play me
Cause you cant even fade me
I know youre messing around baby
Baby you know
You can call me anytime
Anything you needed I would give it to you
Thats how much I care for you baby
You wanna act now
Never call me back now
Turning off your cell phone
Girl you know that aint cool
Oh I dont understand baby
[repeat 1 (2x)]
Baby its a shame
A shame that we go through
The things that we go through
When youre in love with me
And Im in love with you
I think that we should talk about our problems
Instead of running away
Oh baby its a shame
We couldnt work it out
Forgot what love was all about
And the feelings we had from the start
My heart will always be with you, oh
Girl its over

I Dont Care Anymore
Well you can tell evryone Im a down disgrace
Drag my name all over the place.
I dont care anymore.
You can tell evrybody bout the state Im in
You wont catch me crying cos I just cant win.
I dont care anymore I dont care anymore
I dont care what you say
I dont play the same games you play.
cos Ive been talking to the people that you call your friends
And it seems to me theres a means to and end.
They dont care anymore.
And as for me I can sit here and bide my time
I got nothing to lose if I speak my mind.
I dont care anymore I dont care no more
I dont care what you say
We never played by the same rules anyway.
I wont be there anymore
Get out of my way
Let me by
I got better things to do with my time
I dont care anymore I dont care anymore

Well, I dont care now what you say
cos evry day Im feeling fine with myself
And I dont care now what you say
Hey Ill do alright by myself
cos I know.
cos I remember all the times I tried so hard
And you laughed in my face cos you held all the cards.
I dont care anymore.
And I really aint bothered what you think of me
cos all I want of you is just a let me be.
I dont care anymore dyou hear? I dont care no more
I dont care what you say
I never did believe you much anyway.
I wont be there no more
So get out of my way.

I got better things to do with my time

Aint It A Shame
(graham russell)
Hit with the bug to run, you didnt go to college we can use you son
You look like the pride of your home town
But how can you hold out when your luck is down
(chorus)
Aint it a shame, aint it a shame, aint it a shame, aint it a shame.
Because Im too tired to run around
Meeting people from the wrong side of town
Looking for a place to live, Ive got no money nothing to give, listen
All you gotta do is look around for something thats new
Find a job thats stimulating, thats easy and Im still waiting
(chorus)
Ive stood in line and done my time
With nothin to do all day
Ive stood in line with all my friends
With nothin to say all day,
Ive stood in line and done my time
With nothin to do all day
Ive stood in line with all my friends
With nothin to say all day, nothin to say all day.
Got brains but got no drive
Moneys cheap, the roads are wide
All the good positions go too fast
I need a job I know will last
Ive got a job for you can you push that shovel can you swing that broom
Keep your head down and dont go slow
But dont forget to stop with the whistle.

Loving You Aint Easy
(saker/leathwood/sulsh)
Loving you, loving you aint easy
But I dont mind if I can stay here by your side
Every lonely road you walk along
Ill be there too
Just say the word love
And I would follow you
Every lonely road you walk along
Id walk along with you
If only you would show me that you care
Loving you, loving you aint easy
But I keep the pain inside and try to take it in my stride
Loving you, loving you aint easy
But I dont mind if I can stay here by your side
Wont you stop and take a look at me
Tell me what you see
Someone whos always there when everything goes wrong
Wont you stop and take a look at me
Must I always be
The kind of fool that you keep hanging on
Loving you, loving you aint easy
But I keep the pain inside and try to take it in my stride
Loving you, loving you aint easy
But I dont mind if I can stay here by your side
Theres been so many times Ive cried
But you wont know it
Cause baby I dont show it
Ooohh
Loving you aint easy
But I keep the pain inside and try to take it in my stride
Loving you, loving you aint easy
But I dont mind if I can stay here by your side

Shame
The citys burning with desire
High-heeled chicks turnin tricks in a trance
Pin-stripe zombies on fire
Sayin hey baby, heres a dime for a dance
(out on the street)
I see innocent faces in the rain
(out on the street)
I see make-up runnin down from tears of pain
Down the drain
Shame
Now mama tell it like it is
Its a shame
For what papa did
Its a shame
Your sister shouldve told you so
Its a shame
cause nobody wants to know
The neon moon turns red around midnight
Junior junkies and runaway girls
Blue eyed babies posing in the headlights
Another stray cat in a dog eat dog world
(out on the street)
Aint no room for no cheap talkin prayer
(out on the street)
You dont know what its like till youre there
And youre runnin scared
Shame
Now mama tell it like it is
Its a shame
The way papa hurt his kid
Its a shame
Your sister shouldve told you so
Its a shame
Cmon man let her go
So young
Yet so old
So hard to find a friend
She lives from lover to lover
till theres nothing left of her
Yeah sweet daddy scores again
Shame
Now mama tell it like it is
Its a shame
The way papa hurt his kid
Its a shame
Your sister shouldve told you so
Its a shame
Cmon man let her go
The world shouldve let you know
Cmon man let her go
Shame on the school
Shame on the teacher
Shame on those sticky little fingers all over that helpless creature
Shame on the parish
Shame on the preacher
From where he stands that man dont have half a chance to reach her
Shame shame shame
On me and you
Shame shame shame
Now what are we goin to do

Hidden Shame
Im sorry to say that you dont know me
Im sad in ways you never understood
Each time I try to tell the ugly truth
You always let it pass you by
You said I d never tell you a lie
Just because I could
Did you really think I was a bad man?
You always said that that should be my middle name
But you dont know the half of it
You dont know how that name fits
You dont know my hidden shame
Hidden shame, shame, shame
That I cant get free
From the blame and the torture
And the misery
Must it be my secret for eternity?
Till you know my hidden shame you really dont know me
Well, theres a different kind of prison
And it dont even have to look much like a cell
Its already on your mind
Boy, we can see it in your eyes
So, heres the bars and walls as well
Well, you know Im never coming home, babe
You said youd stand by me until I cleared my name
Sure its easy to be strong
When you know the charge is wrong
But the days and weeks get long
When youve got a hidden shame
Chorus
I had a friend when I was just a boy
We were like brothers, we would run and hide
And we went walking on a high hillside
And I really dont how it happened
He turned to me and had this strange look in his eye
And not a single word was spoken
I must have pushed him, but I dont remember why
And all at once, he lay there broken
And I walked down without him and I didnt even sigh
Chorus
They say you always hurt the one you love
And Im not saying if I did or if I didnt
But like my shame, that kind of love is always hidden
They locked me up here for the ideas in my head
They never got me for the thing I really did

Dont Call It Love
Nobody believes that I really care for you
They dont think my heart is true
I dont think you agree
You know Im a lifetime gaurantee
So if they ask you what you mean to me
Dont call it love

We got a better thing, baby
Dont call it love
cause that aint enough
Just tell em youre my everything
Go on and tell em baby
Nobody believes we got somethin they aint got
Theyve never seen a fire this hot
They never got that far
Were burning as bright as any star
So if they ask you what your feelings are
Dont call it love
Heavens above
Weve got a better thing, baby
Dont call it love

Just tell em youre my everything
Go ahead and tell em baby
Feels so good, holding tight
Loving you through the night
Oh and they can call it what they like
But they aint got it right
No, no, no
Dont call it love

Two Out Of Three Aint Bad
(jim steinman)
Producer for bonnie: jim steinman
Baby we can talk all night
But that aint getting us nowhere
I told you everything I possibly can
Theres nothing left inside of here
And maybe you can cry all night
But thatll never change the way that I feel
The snow is really piling up outside
I wish you wouldnt make me leave here
I poured it on and I poured it out
I tried to show you just how much I care
Im tired of words and Im too hoarse to shout
But youve been cold to me so long
Im crying icicles instead of tears
And all I can do is keep on telling you
I want you
I need you
But there aint no way Im ever gonna love you
Now dont be sad
Cause two out of three aint bad
Dont be sad
Cause two out of three aint bad
Youll never find your gold on a sandy beach
Youll never drill for oil on a city street
I know youre looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks
But there aint no coupe de ville hiding at the bottom
Of a cracker jack box
I cant lie
I cant tell you that Im something Im not
No matter how hard I try
Ill never be able
To give you something
Something that I just havent got
Well theres only one boy that I will ever love
And that was so many years ago
And though Ill never get him out of my head
He never loved me back
Ooh I know
Well I remember how he left me on a stormy night
He kissed me and got out of our bed
And I pleaded and I begged him not to walk out that door
He packed his bags and turned away
And he kept on telling me
He kept on telling me
He kept on telling me
I want you
I need you
But there aint no way Im ever gonna love you
Now dont be sad
Cause two out of three aint bad
Now dont be sad
Cause two out of three aint bad
I want you
I need you
But there aint no way Im ever gonna love you
Now dont be sad
Cause two out of three aint bad
Now dont be sad
Cause two out of three aint bad
Baby we can talk all night
But that aint getting us nowhere
I told you everything I possibly can

Has Anybody Here Seen Hank
I aint here for to do any business
(I got nobody special to thank/Im not looking for glory or thanks)
Im trying to find
A friend of mine
Has anybody here seen hank
Well hes sure to be wearing a stetson
Hes as long and as thin as a plank
Hes got a fistful of charm
And a gun beneath his arm
Has anybody here seen hank
Now he aint in the back of a limo
And he aint in his bed
He aint in jail
He aint out on bail
He aint getting out of his head
I dont care what he did with his women
I dont care what he did when he drank
I want to hear just one note
From his lonesome old throat
Has anybody here seen hank
Has anybody here, has anybody here

Dont Think Twice, Its All Right
Written and recorded by bob dylan
It aint no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It dont matter, anyhow
And it aint no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you dont know by now
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and Ill be gone
Youre the reason Im traveling on
Dont think twice, its all right
It aint no use in turnin on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
And it aint no use in turnin on your light, babe
Im on the dark side of the road
Still I wish there was something you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talkin anyway
Dont think twice, its all right
It aint no use in callin out my name, gal
Like you never did before
It aint no use in callin out my name, gal
I cant hear you any more
Im a thinkin and a-wondrin all the way down the road
I once loved a woman, a child Im told
I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul
Dont think twice, its all right
Im walkin down that long, lonesome road, babe
Where Im bound, I cant tell
But goodbyes too good a word, gal
So Ill just say, fare thee well
I aint sayin you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I dont mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
Dont think twice its all right

When Lovers Become Strangers
Youre looking at him across the room
Wondering just how it all slipped away so soon
Youre looking to find some look in his eyes
That will take you back to yesterday
Dont remember the when or the where or why
All you know is that something has changed inside
And you cant bring it back no matter how you try
You know its over, youve got to say goodbye
Chorus:
Its such a shame, when lovers become strangers
Its such a shame, when you dont know each other any more
And all the memories that you shared
Are all thats still there
Its such a shame, when lovers become strangers
You cant seem to find the right words to say
And its too late for talking now anyway
Theres no one to blame its just not the same
And its never gonna be the same again no
So youre trying to figure out what went wrong
Where does the feeling go when the feelings gone
And you pray for the strength just to carry on
Youve got to let go of something youve loved so long
Chorus
So kiss him goodbye, try to walk away
With your head held high
Think about the good times, dont cry, dont cry
Though its tearing you apart inside
Its such a shame, its such a shame
And you cant bring it back no matter how you try
You got to let go, youve gotta say goodbye

Say It Aint True
(rod stewart / chen, savigar, cregan, grainger)
Look at all the problems
That weve been through
How can you tell me
That theres somebody new
I dont believe that Im hearing this
I dont really think that youre serious
Well you picked a fine time to hesitate
See it my way Ive nothing left
You can take my heart but dont steal my pride
Think it over before Im pushed aside
And tell me
Say it aint true
Thats all you gotta do, baby
Say it aint true
Well I thought this one was bound to last
Together forever oh what a laugh
Its going to hurt when I set you free
Ive been loving you too long
Youre a part of me
So tell me
Say it aint true, tell me baby
Say it aint true
Put yourself in my place for a little while
Going out of fashion growing out of style
No one to laugh with nobody to share
No one to lean on nobody to care
Nothing left but a memory
I gave you my heart so stay with me
And tell me
Say it aint true
Say it aint true
Tell me baby
Say it aint true
