Della Brown
Youve got a cardboard house
Live there all the time
Keep your memories tied with string
The face that many once adored
Twenty years gone maybe more
Somewhere you lost the dream
Mama watched your every move, but now youre all alone
Shes been gone for awhile
Daddy left some time ago, fading years pass too slow
Hes the only one, could make you smile
Oh, youre still crying
Big city bound
Gona make your mark
Read your name in the lights
All the ads and people say, beauty lets you get you way
Tried your best to prove them right
But living on the streets aint bad, sad people make you glad
Pardon me, could you spare some change
-oh, youre still crying-
Street corner girl
Watch the crowd go by
Fill your tin can with life
Summer days tend to slip away
Like your men you couldnt make them stay
Hard to choose, whiskey or a wife
Sometimes you wonder wheres the end
Where you goin where you been?
Happiness seems so hard to win
Most never care to find
Della brown sees it al the time
Looking for that man to make her smile again

Enough Is Enough
(myles goodwyn)
Published by northern goody two tunes, ltd./capac - ascap
Always so keen, in a big black fleur de lys
Had too much competition, in a limousine
Everybody got to him, and he finally had to make a show
And no one could believe him, and he still doesnt know
Girl you fill me up, until Ive had enough
Girl you fill me up, cant you see that
Youre my girl, and enough is enough
Baby, youre my girl, and enough is enough
So we went down through the streets, and we never even saw a fight
We had one look corner to corner, and we called it a night
So I said we best get ready, cause we really didnt wanna phone
He said, I must be some kind of a fool girl, are you puttin me on
You fill me up, until I get enough
Oh girl you fill me up, cant you see that
Youre my girl, and enough is enough
Baby, youre my girl, and enough is enough
Youre my girl, and enough is enough
Baby, youre my girl, and enough is enough
So we went on through the gate, and it sure enough caused a scene
He said, one chance to make it on the silver screen
So we worked all day and night, tryin to make it to the 4 state line
He said, baby you can stay tomorrow, we can have us a time
Oh girl you fill me up, until Ive had enough
Oh girl you fill me up, cant you see that
Youre my girl, and enough is enough
Baby, youre my girl, and enough is enough
Youre my girl, enough is enough
Baby, youre my girl, and enough is enough

Livin In America
Straight outta school but still just a fool
Thought the streets were paved with gold
He moved off the block and
Found he was lost
In a world hed never known
He had to hustle so he could pay the rent
Played all the aces and wound up president
You see its okay
Got to find your own way
Keep on trying all day
And you know your time will come
Youll get your chance to run
Youre livin in america
Youre livin in the home of the dream
Youre livin in america
Just make it what you want it to be
Soap opera child with hope in her eyes
Lookin for a starrin role
She came into town and acted the clown
Had a long, long way to go
Waitin on tables and pumpin gasoline
She served and agent,
Now shes a movie queen
You see its okay
Got to find your own way
Keep on tryin all day
And you know the time will come
For each and everyone
Youre livin in america
Youre livin in the home of the dream
Youre livin in america
Just make it what you want it to be
Youll stand alone on a long hard road
With a crowd that you cant see
Just start by steppin out
Then let your mind run free
Youre livin in america
Youre livin in the home of the dream
Youre livin in america
Just make it what you want it to be
Its okay
Youre livin in the usa
Find your dream
You know that dream can set
You free
Its okay
Were part of the united state
You and me
Can be just what we wanna be
Hes okay
He left the block and reached
The top
Shes all right
The agent put her name in lights
Hes okay
Hes paid his rent hes president
Shes all right
Shes on your tv screen tonight

Cant Smile Without You
(c. arnold/d. martin/g. morrow)
Chorus:
You know I cant smile without you
I cant smile without you
I cant laugh and I cant sing
Im finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel sad when youre sad
I feel glad when youre glad
If you only knew what Im going through
I just cant smile without you
You came along just like a song
And brightened my day
Who would believe that youre part of a dream
Now it all seems light years away
You know I cant smile without you
I cant smile without you
I cant laugh and I cant sing
Im finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel sad when youre sad
I feel glad when youre glad
If you only knew what Im going through
I just cant smile
Some people say happiness takes
So very long to find
But Im finding it hard
Leaving your love behind me, so you see
I cant smile without you
I cant smile without you
I cant laugh and I cant sing
Im finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel glad when youre glad
I feel sad when youre sad
If you only knew what Im going through
I just cant smile without you

Hollywood
They say people out in hollywood
Live their life out in black and white
Theyre living out a technicolor dream
Next day theyre a star overnight
Not like living in new york
Man, its tougher
Not like in london town
Boy, you suffer
Nobody give a break
When youre down on your luck
Everybodys on the take
When youre down on your luck
You cant make a mistake
When youre down on your luck
People out in hollywood
They got a lot of class
You see the boys strutting down the boulevard
Trying to make a pass
Not like in new york
Its high rise, its concrete and complex
Not like in london town
It reigns down on its subjects
Nobody give a damn
When youre down on your luck
Nobody understands
When youre down on your luck
Lady chance, she wont dance
When youre down on your luck
People out in hollywood
They can make it to the stars
They can reach the screen
Drive around in big expensive convertible cars
Not like in new york
All youve got is broadway
Not like in the west end of london
You cant make it no way
Nobody give a damn
When youre down on your luck
Nobody understands
When youre down on your luck
Youve got to strut your stuff
When youre down on your luck
You cant take it easy, it aint good enough
When youre down on your luck
Everybodys on the make
When youre down on your luck
Nobody give a fair deal
When youre down on your luck
Nobody understands my uncle sam
When youre down on your luck
Im ready for the dance
When youre down on your luck
I gotta make a dollar holler
When youre down on your luck

Make My Head Go Pop
(words & music: per gessle)
Published by hiphappy
I dont know much about you but Im pretty sure I wanna be with you
I havent got a clue what is wrong, what is right, what is left to do
I read a magazine
I watch tv-screen
I dive into a dream only to find me in love with you
I wish youll never stop to make my head go pop
You make my head go pop pop p-pop pop pop pop every time youre around
Its a pleasant valley sunday and everthing seems to be beautiful
People go to church but Im found contemplating by the swimmingpoll
Im gazing at the sun
I watch him bringing joy to everyone
I feed the ducks with a bum only to find me in
Love with you
I wish youll never stop to make my head go pop
You make my head go pop pop pop pop pop pop
You make my head go pop pop p-pop pop pop pop ever time
Youre around
Press to play and never stop to make my head
Go pop
Yea, you make my head go pop pop pop pop pop pop
Every time youre around
Make my head go pop pop pop
Make my head go pop pop
Go pop pop
I feed the ducks with a bun only to find me in love with you

Youre The Only One
I found out the hard way
And Im never gonna break your heart
I know, too late
And I dont want to break your heart
Guess I had to go away just to find
What I left behind
Youre the only one
Youre the only one
Take me back
To where we started from
And lets make it now
Like we made it then
This ol heart aint gonna break your heart again
Nights I lay in bed
And your covers wouldnt warm my feet
And morning found me
Bitter or a bit too sweet
Oh baby, I had to go away
Just to run back and say
Youre the only one
Youre the only one
Take me back
To where we started from
Can we make it now
Like we made it then
This ol heart aint gonna break your heart again
Youre the only one darlin
Theyll never be anyone else but you
I love you so much
You are my love, youve become my life
And I never meant to break your heart
But, sometimes, you just got to go away
To find what you left behind
Youre the only one
Youre the only one
Take me back
To where we started from
Can we make it now
Like we make it then
This ol heart aint gonna break your heart again
Youre the only one
Youre the only one
Youre the only one
The only one
So take me back
To where we started from
Youre the only one
The only one
Youre the only one
You re the only one
The only one
Take me back
To where we started from

Youre the only one

Youre the only one
Youre the only one

Country Girl
Winding paths through tables and glass
First fall was new
Now watch the summer pass
So close to you.
Too late to keep the change,
Too late to pay,
No time to stay the same
Too young to leave.
No pass out sign on the door set me thinking
Are waitresses paying the price of their winking?
While stars sit in bars and decide what their drinking,
They drop by to die cause its faster than sinking.
Too late to keep the change,
Too late to pay,
No time to stay the same
Too late to keep the change,
Too late to pay,
No time to stay the same
Too young to leave.
Find out that now was the answer
To answers that you gave later
She did the things that we both did before, now,
But who forgave her.
If I could stand to see her crying
I would tell her not to care.
When she learns of all your lyin
Will she join you there?
Country girl I think youre pretty,
Got to make you understand,
Have no lovers in the city,
Let me be your country man.
Got to make you understand.

Changin Times
When I was younger I used to understand
That when youre with a girl, you gotta act like a man
Mama told me thats the way it should be
And I know my mama never lied to me.
What do you think about youre changin times
cause when Im with you I just cant make up my mind
Since I met you dont know right from wrong
Somebody tell me just whats goin on
Just cant get myself thinkin straight
Im all shook up and in a terrible state
Sometimes I think I got it all figured out
Then you do something new and it just knocks me right out
Someday baby Im going to have to make a stand
The way that you treat me baby
Dont make me feel too much like a man
And baby, baby, the changes youre goin through
Youre drivin me half crazy
Cant make up my mind what to do about you.
Tellin myself that time is on my side
Youre gettin this feelin that my minds on the slide
Dumped on the floor, I feel Im trapped in a spin
Dont know how to end, cant think of where to begin
She dont care I know she dont even try
But when she turns it on
You know she gets me so high.
Shes a lady thats making my life a sin
You know that Im runnin in a losin race
There aint no way I can win
Baby, baby, the changes youre goin through
Theyre drivin me half crazy
Cant make up my mind what to do about you.

Father & Son
Its not time to make a change
Just relax and take it easy
Youre still young thats your fault
Theres so much you have to know
Find a girl and settle down
If you want well you can marry
Look at me I am old but Im happy
I was once like you are now
And I know that its not easy
To be calm when youve found
Something going on
Take your time think a lot
Think of everything youve got
You will still be here tomorrow
But your dreams may not
How can I try to explain
When I do he turns away again
And its always been the same
Same old story
From the moment I could talk
I was ordered to listen
Now theres a way and I know
That I have to go away
I know I have to go
Its not time to make a change
(wait, wait)
Just sit down and take it slowly
(wait)
Youre still young thats your fault
(I have to go)
Theres so much you have to go through
(and make this decision)
Find a girl settle down
(I know)
If you want well you can marry
(know)
Look at me I am old but Im happy
All the times that I cried
(stay, stay)
Keeping all the things I knew inside
(stay)
Well its hard but its harder to ignore it
(why must you go)
If they were right Id agree

But its them they know not me

Complicated
Youre never going to see what you like
Youre never going to wake up and change your mind
Youre never going to keep what you hold
You wont accomplish anything on your own
You cant have what you wanted
So make up your mind and come to your senses
Youll never win if you dont bend
Its not so complicated
If you decide to change your mind
Youll find your inundated
Youre never going to do what you say
Youll always try to make up another way
Youre never going to act on your own
Youre never going to see that youre all alone
And so youre here and you dont know
If you can choose the way to go
Its not about the way it is
So dont become a realist
Youve got time to make a choice
Dont think aloud but have a voice
And when you think the time is right
Dont ever be afraid to fight

Do You Know, Do You Care
You said you would, you didnt and I wanna know why
And dont make no excuses
You promised, you promised, you better explain
Tho I dont know what the use is
You said you could, you couldnt, now why did you lie
You made it look so easy
You did it, why do it, what was your point?
Laughing while you tease me
Oh, do you know and do you care?
I said I did, I shouldnt cos the magic will go
It happened once before
Youll see it, youll steal it and take it away
And then come back for more
Dont say you werent, you were cos I saw you myself
Its too late for your reason
Youre lying, youre lying, youve done it this time
Im sick of all the cheating
Oh, well do you know and do you care?
cos I watch you
Oo every day I watch you pass me by
Ill get you
Yes in the end Ill get you
Just watch me try
Oh you make it hard to be hard but Im trying my best

Crying
Lyrics and music by roy orbison and joe melson
I was alright for awhile
I could smile for awhile
But I saw you last night
You held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say hello oh you wished me well
You couldnt tell that Id been
Crying over you
Crying over you
When you said, so long
Left me standing all alone
Alone and crying
Crying, crying, crying, crying
Its hard to understand
How the touch of your hand
Can start me crying
I thought that I was over you
But its true, oh so true
I love you even more
Than I did bfore
But darling what can I do?
For you dont love me
And Ill always be
Crying for you
Crying for you
Yes now youre gone
And from this moment on
Ill be crying, crying, crying, crying
Yes crying
Crying
Over you

You just get better all the time
Darlin dont you change a thing
Lately youre the only song I wanna sing
And youre my reason to try
You just get sweeter every day
The little things you do and say
If only you could see you through my eyes
You just get better all the time
Oh, and I get the feelin we can make it baby
As long as you are by my side
Youre the music in my ears
The laughter when the tears
Are fallin down
In my life
And on down through the years
You never tried to change my ways
You never made me feel
I had to say
Im sorry
You just get better all the time
Why just today I heard you read my mind
That kinda magic is so hard to find
You just get better all the time

Youre The One
Mountains may move, river may run,
But you make me be myself, you make me be.
How do I tell you?
How do I tell youre the one?
Stars may move, time may run,
But you make me free myself, you make me free.
How do I tell you?
How do I tell youre the one, youre the one?
In the world eye we were laurel and hardy,
In our minds we were heathcliff and cathy.
In a moment of wisdom we were a wizard and a witch,
In a moment of freedom we were don quixote and santo.
In reality we were just a boy and a girl who never looked back.
How do I tell you?
How do I tell you?
How do I tell you?
How do I tell you?
How do I tell you?
How do I tell you?
How could I tell you?
How could I tell you?

Youre the one,
