Baby come back, any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Baby come back, you can blame it all on me
I was wrong, and I just can't live without you

Baby Come Back

I'm goin' my way, your lover.
If you get cold I'll be your cover.
Don't have to worry `cause I'm here,
No need to suffer baby, I'm here.

Sam and Dave : Hold On I'm Comin


And I just gotta add:

Baby baby, sweet baby
I didn't mean to run you away
It was pride on my lips,
But not in my heart
To say the things that made you stray
But ah, babe
Hear me now
(hear me)
I don't know what I'm gonna do
(hear me)
Got to get you back somehow
(hear me now)
Oooh, take me back,
consider me please
If you walk in that door,
I can get up off my knees
I just been so blue

Aretha Franklin
Song title (Sweet Sweet Baby) Since You've Been Gone


(Sorry about adding all those lines, but, gosh, they just move along so dadburn well and longingly!)

Nail my shoes to the kitchen floor,
lace em up and lock the door,

can't help but wonder where i am bound

Sometimes you wonder how much I care
I get so distracted runnin' nowhere
And I take for granted our love is secure
But if I started losin' you, one thing is sure

I'd be down on my knees
Ready to pray, darlin'
Down on my knees
Making you stay
I'd be beggin' you please
Don't take your love from me
I'd be down on my knees


Down on My Knees

I received a special delivery, I received a telegram,
then she called me long distance, she wanted to know,
Where was I am. For what? I don't know.
Man I just don't know, but I sitting here
wondering why did my Baby disappoint me so.


I Don't Know, - Rice Miller


POST ED: Darnit Angel: -Wonder > Knees.

The first time I crossed my heart I was by your bedside
down on my knees.
And I know the difference between I and you,
I have to beg you... help me, please.

Are the stars out tonight?
I don’t know if it's cloudy or bright
’Cause I only have eyes for you,
...
You are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And I only have eyes for you

-- I Only Have Eyes For You, lyrics by Al Dubin, from the movie Dames (1934)

Tonight, tonight, won't be just any night,
Tonight
there will be no morning star
Tonight, tonight, I'll see my love tonight.
And for us, stars will stop where they are.
Today the minutes seem like hours,
The hours go so slowly,
and still the sky is light
Oh moon, grow bright,
And make this endless day endless night!
Tonight

"Tonight"
from West Side Story

Everybody's a star
Everybody's in show biz
Doesn't matter who you are
And those who are successful
Be always on your guard

Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Fight Song:

Roll Alabama, Crimson Tide
Go teach the Bulldogs to behave,
Send the yellow jackets to a watery grave.
And if the band starts to weaken, that's a shame,
Remember the battles we fought in Dixie's name.
Fight on, fight on, fight on, men,
Remember the Rose Bowl, we'll win then,
Go Alabama,
Dixie's football pride, Crimson Tide.


University of Alabama Fight Song - Composer Not known ( by me).

Please see for me if her hair hangs long,
If it rolls and flows all down her breast.
Please see for me if her hair hangs long,
That's the way I remember her best.

Our boys are strong now
The spittin' image of you when you were young
I hope someday
They can see past, what you have become
And I remember
Everytime I said I'd never leave
But what I can't live with
Is memories of the way you used to be

Try to remember when life was so tender
that no one wept except the willow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
that dreams were kept beside your pillow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
that love was an ember about to billow.

Enough Fat Elvis, leave this building and get back into the velvet black painting that hangs so tastefully over the couch at Whitman's house.

Oh little Darling,
My little Darling,
I was wrong-o,
to love two. (ahoupa houpa houpa)

But from now-o,
I will always,
Love just you. (ahoupa houpa houpa)

There she was, just a 'walkin' down the street singin'
Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do
Snappin' her fingers and shufflin' her feet singin'
do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do
She looked good (looked good!),
she looked fine (looked fine!)
She looked good, she looked fine, and I nearly lost my mind

He met Marmelade down on old Moulin Rouge,
Struttin' his stuff on the street,
She said, "Heh, Joe, you wanna give it a go?"
Gitchy, gitchy, ya, ya, Da-da...

Have no idea who wrote this--just hear it (probably incorrectly) on the Moulin Rouge CD.

You know you're so pretty,

Yes you're so pretty
Lawdy looka there.

Just struttin' down the street

I know we never will be perfect
Never entirely clear
(when the moon shines)
We get hurt and we just panic
And we strike out
Out of fear
(you were only being kind)
I fear the sentence of this solitude
200 years on hold
(for my loving crime)
Oh and all we ever wanted
Was just to come in from the cold

Come in from the Cold - Joni Mitchell

Far away from the cold night air,
With one enormous chair,
Oh, wouldn't it be loverly?

So far away,
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?
It would be so fine to see your face at my door,
Don't it hurt to know that you're so
Far way.

All the riches and pleasures, what else could life bring?
But it makes me feel better each time it begins

Baby, I was convinced that I'd been abandoned by God.
That I was one in a million souls, somehow he forgot.
But now that I've found you it makes perfect sense.
And I would go through it all again.

With a small bouquet

And he'll kiss your lips
Andcaress your fingertips
And your heart will fly away

She got back on the phone
Said I really miss you darling
Don't worry about the kids they'll be alright
Wish I was in your arms
Lying right there beside you
But I know that I'll be in your dreams tonight
And I'll gently kiss your lips
Touch you with my fingertips
So turn out the light and close your eyes

I'm Already There

Walk right in, it's around the back,
Just a half a mile from the railroad track,
You can get anything you want

Ladies and gentlemen let's give a large and resounding welcome to that most talented, and most neglected group in the history of Rhythm and Blues, Ladies and Gentlemen...***The Five Royals***...

There's a lot of fast trains running through the land,
they all carrying a heavy load.
And if I lay my head on the railroad track
You know that's the end of the road,
So baby come on, (come on and save me)

Save me, save me, save me
Save my life

Feeling sorry for myself, that's all I can do.
Without you here, I know I'd fall apart.

Nice song Wordwind, somehow it seems more romantic than
"Baby Got Back" by SirMixAlot.

Now I'll admit Baby That I was wrong.

So come back Baaaaabee. Ooooooo Lawd, let's talk it over

There's a full moon tonight,
but the moon's silvery light
Makes me lonely, so lonely, and blue.

I tried to pretend, that these blues, soon would end,
but they won't end, until I'm with you.

I tried to be a good sport, just as I know, you'd have me be,
But instead, I'm just a blue note, from a sound of misery.
No peace, can I find, 'cause you're always on my mind,
And I'm lonely. so lonely and blue.


Lonely and Blue, -B. B. King
