Shakin The Tree
Released as youssou ndour/peter gabriel single, 1989 and featured on the youssou ndour album the lion.
We are shaking the tree...
Waiting your time, dreaming of a better life
Waiting your time, so much more than just a wife
You dont have to do what your mother has done, she has done
This is your life, this new life has begun
Its your day - a womans day
Its your day - a womans day
Turning the tide, you are on the incoming wave
Turning the tide, you know you are nobodys slave
Find your brothers and sisters
Who can hear all the truth in what you say
They can support you when youre on your way
Its your day - a womans day
Its your day - a womans day
We are shaking the tree...
Theres nothing to gain when theres nothing to be lost
Theres nothing to gain if you stay behind and count the cost
Make a decision that you can be who you can be, you can be
Tasting the fruit, come to the liberly(? ) tree
Its your day - a womans day
Its your day - a womans day
Changing your ways, changing those surrounding you
Changing your ways, more than any man can do
Open your heart, show him the anger and pain, so you heal
Maybe hes looking for his womanly side, make him feel
You had to be so strong
And you do nothing wrong, nothing wrong at all
Were gonna to break it down
We have to shake it down, shake it all around
We are shaking the tree...

That Womans Gonna Break Your Heart
(lynott)
Lonesome gambler
That woman will lead to heartbreaks
Take the word of one
Who played and lost in love
I played it cool
I dealt the heartaches
I broke rules
But that woman she cut me up
That womans gonna break your heart
That womans gonna tear your soul apart
That womans gonna wreck your head
That womans gonna leave you sad, so sad
If your life depends
On what you are losing
Youre still refusing
To believe in fate or chance
You dont know now
But its the wrong card youre using
That deck youre using
Is stacked against romance
That womans gonna break your heart
That womans gonna tear your soul apart
That womans gonna wreck your head
That womans gonna leave you sad, so sad

A Womans Love
By alan jackson
I have felt it
And I have held it
I have known
A womans love
I have tasted
And I have wasted
A womans love
And I know
Ill never understand
All the little things
That make it grand
A womans love
And I know
Ill never come face to face
With any thing
That takes the place
Of a womans love
Well I have kiss it
Tried to resist it
I have missed
A womans love
And I have hated
Taken for granted
A womans love
Well I have needed
And I have pleaded
And I have lost
A womans love
And I have worshipped
And I have cursed it
A womans love
Well I adore it
Thank God for it
A womans love

A Womans Touch
(toby keith/wayne perry)
Lately Ive been lookin through the windows of my soul
And I can see theres not much left to hold
Just an empty space surrounded by the pieces of
A badly broken heart thats forgotten how to love
What my heart needs is a womans touch
A tender hand to fix it up
Its rough and ragged edges sure could use some love
What my heart needs is a womans touch
When I look in the mirror, the only thing I see
Are traces of the man I used to be
Late at night I hear it, it cannot be denied
A lonely voice is crying out from somewhere deep inside
What my heart needs is a womans touch
A tender hand to fix it up
Its rough and ragged edges sure could use some love
What my heart needs is a womans touch
What my heart needs is a womans touch
A tender hand to fix it up
Its rough and ragged edges sure could use some love
What my heart needs is a womans touch
Yeah, its rough and ragged edges
Sure could sure some love
What my heart needs is a womans touch
What my poor heart needs is a womans touch
A womans touch

A Womans Gotta Have It
Performed by nona gaye
Composed by b. womack, l. womack and d. carter
Oh oh oh (a womans gotta have it)
(a womans gotta have it)
Do the things that keep a smile on her face
Say the words that make her feel better every day
U betcha better keep on your ps and qs
If u dont, your woman u could easily lose
Oh, I had love, a true love and I lost it
And no one seems 2 understand about the pain that it cost me
A womans gotta have it, I believe
Shes got 2 know that shes needed around
When u kiss her, u got 2 make her feel it
She wants 2 know that shes not walking on shaky ground
When u miss her, u got 2 be 4-realin
Make her know that shes needed around
Dont take 4 granted the smile upon her face
Check a little bit closer, u might find a tear trace
Maybe the little girl never said a mufflin word
But shes got 2 know that her voice is heard
Oh, I had love, a true love and I lost it
And no one seems 2 understand about the pain that it cost me
A womans gotta have it, I believe that I should know
Shes got 2 know that shes needed around
When u kiss her, u got 2 make her feel it
She wants 2 know that shes not walking on shaky ground
When u miss her, u got 2 be 4-realin
Make her know that shes needed around
Oh, I had love, a true love and I lost it
Now Im sufferin all this pain that the true love cost me
A womans gotta have it, I believe that I should know
Shes got 2 know that shes needed around
When u kiss her, u got 2 make her feel it
She wants 2 know that shes not walking on shaky ground
When u miss her, u got 2 be 4-realin
Make her know that shes needed around

Subhuman Woman
My womans subhuman
(she wont talk)
My womans subhuman
(she cant talk)
My womans subhuman
(she came from space)
My womans subhuman
(shes got no face)
Shes bald, shes cold
Shes eight years old
Shes gonna live for the future
Shes got a six foot sign
That says I love you.

A Womans Flow
A womans flow is like the river of life
that's what makes her such a great wife.
She's gentle and sensual with a rose for a soul
her spirit is that of the river of gold.
A womans flow ebbs like the river's tide
taking you over an enchanting ride.
Back and forth, In and out
that's what the river of woman is about.

Shes got so much blues
Her best friend cant help her
Her best friends a woman
How can a woman help her
Womans got the blues
She just feels like crying
She just feels like dying
Womans got the blues
She just feels like dying

A Womans Worth
You could buy me diamonds , you could buy me pearls
Take me on a cruise around the world
Baby you know Im worth it
Dinner lit by candles, run my bubble bath
Make love tenderly to last and last
Baby you know Im worth it
Wanna please wanna keep wanna treat your woman right
Not just told but to show she is worth your time
You will lose if you choose to refuse to put her first
She will if she cant find a man who knows her worth, mhmn
Cuz a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man aint afraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
And a real man just cant deny a womans worth
If you treat me fairly Ill give you all my goods
Treat you like a real woman should
Baby I know your worth it
If you never play me , promise not to bluff
Ill hold it down when it gets ruff
Baby I know your worth it
She rolls the mile makes you smile all the while being true
Dont take for granted the passion that she has for you
You will lose if you choose to refuse to put her first
She will if she cant find a man who knows her worth. oh
Cuz a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man aint afraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
And a real man just cant deny a womans worth
No need to read between the lines, spell it out for you
Just hear this song cuz you cant go wrong when you value
A woman,woman,woman, a womans worth
Cuz a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man aint fraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
And a real man just cant deny a womans worth
Cuz a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man aint fraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
And a real man just cant deny a womans worth

Have you ever heard the story
About the three little bears
See they papa was gone
For a long, long, long, long time
When he returned
To his sweet little home
He had come to find
That all of his porridge was gone
If you dont stop

Someones gonna lay in your bed

And someones gonna eat your food

Between Two Worlds
I got a dirty, dirty feelin
That I just cant shake
Yeah my brain keeps burnin
And my body just aches
I know a womans body
Is only flesh and bone
A womans body is
Only flesh and bone
How come I cant let go?
Im between two worlds
I said oh yeah, Im out of my mind
Im between two worlds
Theres a lot of people talkin
bout the danger zone
Theres adventure novels
bout takin to the road

Cause and effect music/huey lewis music. all rights administered by hulex music, ascap.
I love my wife - I love my honey
I gave them both everything I had
Like lots of love - and lots of money
Can a little devotion be too much to ask?
I should have seen it coming
Man, you know its always something
Id give a month of sundays to se her again
Believe me when I tell you
I know its hard - its never easy
Its like an illness in the family
So Im takin the news the best that I can
My other womans got another man
I was the man - rich and good-lookin
Ask anybody in the neighborhood
Then she cut out - now nothins cookin
All of a sudden I dont look so good
I went to have my head examined
Doctor, what you got for depression?
He pulled me aside and said
Son, you better get you another other woman
I now its hard - no it aint easy
You got a problem in your family
So Im carrying on the best that I can
My other womans got another man
Now every day I feel like cryin
Its like a part of us has gone away
But Ill be strong - pick up the pieces
Ill find the strength to face another day
Yes, Im carrying on the best that I can
My other womans got another man

Youve Got To Give Me All Your Lovin
Youve got to give me all your lovin
cause a man aint nothin without womans love
Youve got to give me all your lovin
Give it all to me cause a part just aint enough
Like a flower needs the rain to grow
Like a winter needs a fall of snow
Youre the one I need
To satisfy my soul
Its a lonely feelin late at night
Without you here to put the feelin right
Youre the one I need
Your love is out of sight
Youve got to give me all your lovin
cause a man aint nothin without womans love
Youve got to give me all your lovin
Give it all to me cause a part just aint enough
Youre the only woman on my mind
Ive been waitin such a long long time
If you stay by me who knows what you might find
Theres a certain magic in your smile
And its plain to see youve sure got style
Just to be with you Id walk a thousand miles
Youve got to give me all your lovin
cause a man aint nothin without womans love
Youve got to give me all your lovin
Give it all to me cause a part just aint enough

Womans Gotta Have It
Once upon a time a good friend of mine
Told me to tell yall what I say today
Do the things that keep a smile on her face
Say the words that make her feel better evry day
You bet you better keep on you ps and qs
If you dont the woman you can easily lose
Oh, I had a love, a true love and I lost it
No one seems to understand about the pain that it cost me
Womans got to have it
I believe that I should know
Shes got to know that shes that shes needed around
When you kiss her
You got to make her feel it everyday, boy
Shes got to know that shes not walking on shaky ground
Think it over
Dont take for granted the smile upon her face
Check a little bit closer, you might find a tear trace
Maybe the little girl never said a mumbling word
But shes got to know that her voice is heard
Oh, I had a love, it was a true love and I lost it
Now Im suffering all this pain that the true love cost me
A womans got to have it
I believe
Shes got to know that shes that shes needed around
When you kiss her
You got to let her feel it everyday, boy
Shes got to know that shes not walking on shaky ground
So if youve got a love
And maybe youve got eyes to keep her
Youve got to give her what she wants when she wants it
Where she wants it (all right)
How she wants it
And every doggone time she thinks she needs it
Your woman needs it
The same as mine
A woman got to have it
From time to time

Modern Man Blues
Im tired lord and Im drawn
And Im chilled right to the bone
I crawled home from my work
And this note said she was gone
Said your dinners in the cat
And your love is out the door
Im goin back to my momma
And I dont want you no more, no more
She said she dont want me no more
Shes gone back to her momma
Said shes never never comin back no more
Now a man can take so much
And only heaven knows his limit
But a naggin bitchin woman
Digs a hole and puts him in it
A sophisticated man
Needs a little something on the side
So what you dont get at home
Youve gotta get outside, hey
Shes gone
Im spending all of my money
Shes gone, gone, gone
And I can swing with my honey
Shes gone
Im so glad my womans gone
Now time goes marching on
And it wont wait for you
Youve gotta take it when its offered
And get it when its due
Now a man can move much faster
Without a millstone around his neck
So if you get the chance to lose it
Youve gotta drop it and run like heck, hey
Shes gone
Im spending all of my money
Shes gone, gone, gone
And I can swing with my honey
Shes gone
Im so glad my womans gone
Shes gone
Im spending all of my money
Shes gone, gone, gone
And I can swing with my honey
Shes gone
Im so glad my womans gone

What Makes A Man Hold On
By chuck sabatino and michael mcdonald
What makes a man
Believe in a brighter day
When his whole world is fallin apart
All promise is fading away
What does it take,
To turn his heart to stone
When hes got more than his share of riches
More than one life can hold
Sometimes it takes
More than weve got it seems
Something so close, so near
Even a blind man sees
If it takes a hand strong and mighty
To spin this world around
It takes the power of a womans sweet love
To make a man hold on
What makes a man
Hang his hope on someone
To bring the light out of darkness
Makes him believe a change is gonna come
Something inside that just wont let go
Something so simple, so sweet,
Even a fool would know
If it takes a hand strong and mighty
To spin this world around
It takes the power of a womans sweet love
To bring joy out of pain
To let sunshine through rain
To bring hope back to the heart
To bring together whats fallin apart
Shes got the kind of kisses
To make a weak man strong
Shes got the kind of love
To make a good man go wrong
Shes got what it takes
Shes got the power to make a man hold on

Real Ladys Man
Oh the taste of wine and liquor and a womans tender kiss
Sure paints the perfect picture thats so hard to resist
Though the lure of the old night life has always tempted fools
It cant compare with what you stand to lose
Chorus:
Remember the promise you wear on your left hand
Cheatins no companion for a real ladys man
If only I had listened to my own words of advice
And turned down the invitation in another womans eyes
For the softness of a stranger, I threw good love away
Friend there aint no higher price to pay
Repeat chorus

Nowhere To Hide
(eric carmen)
Lovers come and lovers go
But its never twice the same
Happiness is hard to show
When youre numb to all the pain
And Ive been floatin round
Like an old newspaper
Blowin down some windy street
Feeling so alone and incomplete
But theres nowhere to hide
Where the night cant find me
Where the light of the sun cant blind me
Like the light in a womans eyes
Theres nowhere to hide
From the dream that drives me
Like a fire burning deep inside me
Oh, I know shell be there tonight
Can the future be foretold
In a faded photograph
Can a dream be bought and sold
Well, I guess I have to laugh
Sippin on a scotch and soda
A shadow in the corner booth
So philosophic and drunk on grown-up truth
But theres nowhere to hide
Where the night cant find me
Where the light of the sun cant blind me
Like the light in a womans eyes
Theres nowhere to hide
From the dream that drives me
Like a fire burning deep inside me
Oh, I know shell be there tonight
Half-forgotten fragments
Of a high school dance
In the dead white hours of winter
When we loved so hard
That we thought it would never end
Tryin to remember
How it used to feel
When a kiss was something special
And I wonder now
Will it ever be again
But theres nowhere to hide
Where the night cant find me
Where the light of the sun cant blind me
Like the light in a womans eyes
Theres nowhere to hide
From the dream that drives me
Like a fire burning deep inside me
Oh, I know shell be there tonight
Lovers come and lovers go
But its never twice the same
Happiness is hard to show
When youre numb to all the pain
And Ive been floatin round
Like an old newspaper
Blowin down some windy street
Feeling so alone and incomplete
But theres nowhere to hide
Where the night cant find me
Where the light of the sun cant blind me

Theres nowhere to hide
From the dream that drives me

Oh, I know shell be there tonight
