Over hearts, I have painfully turned every stone
just to find, I had found what I've searched to discover.
I've come much too far for me now to find the love that I've sought can never be mine.

And though you don't believe that they do, they do come true,
for did my dreams come true when I looked at you.
And maybe too, if you would believe, you too might be overjoyed, over love, over me.

And though the odds say improbable, what do they know?
For in romance all true love needs is a chance.
And maybe with a chance you will find, you too, like I, overjoyed, over love, over you, over you.

"Overjoyed"
Stevie Wonder

I don't want you - to make my bed.
I don't want you - to cook my bread
I don't want you 'cause I'm sad and blue,
I just want to make love to you. Love to you.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE LOVE TO YOU - Muddy Waters
( excuse me these two songs kinda ran together. I'll match them with Love.)
I LIVE THE LIFE I LOVE AND I LOVE THE LIFE I LIVE - Muddy Waters


Now I may spend an hour or more in this town
One minute later I could be Highway bound.
Tomorrow night I could be over the hill
I just want you to know Baby - How I feel.


I see you watching me - like a hawk.
I don't mind 'yo - Baby Talk.
These girls move me - at their will.
But I live the life I love and I love the life I live.

BONUS SONG BONUS SONG BONUS SONG BONUS SONG BONUS SONG
( as atonement for my presumption above I offer...)

You're the top! You're a dance in Bali.
You're the top! You're a hot tamale.
You're an angel, you simply too, too, too diveen,
You're a Botticelli, You're Keats, You're Shelley,
You're Ovaltine.
You're a boon, You're the dam at Boulder,
You're the moon over Mae West's shoulder.
I'm a nominee of the G.O.P. or GOP,
But if, Baby, I'm the bottom,
You're the top!


YOU'RE THE TOP - Cole Porter

The Name Game ...

Shirley!
Shirley, Shirley, Bo Birley
Bonana, Fanna, Fo Firley
Fee, Fy, Mo Mirley
Shirley

Len!
Len, Len, Bo Ben
Bonana, Fanna, Fo Fen
Fee, Fy, Mo Men
Len!

Come on everybody
I say now let's play a game
I betcha I could make a rhyme
Out of anybody's name

The first letter of the name
I treat it like it wasn't there
But a B or an F
Or an M will appear

And then I say Bo, add a B
Then I say the name
Then Bonana, Fanna, and a Fo
Then I say the name again with an F very plain
Then a Fee, Fy, and a Mo
Then I say the name again with an M this time
And there isn't any name that I can't rhyme

Arnold!
Arnold, Arnold, Bo Barnold
Bonana, Fanna, Fo Farnold
Fee, Fy, Mo Marnold
Arnold

But if the first two letters are ever the same,
Drop them both then say the name
Like Bob, Bob, drop the B's Bo Ob
Or Fred, Fred, drop the F's Fo Red
Or Mary, Mary, drop the M's Mo Ary
That's the only rule that is contrary

Okay?
Now say Bo (Bo!)
Now Tony with a B (Bony!)
Then Bonana, Fanna, and Fo (Bonana Fanna Fo!)
Then you say the name again with an F very plain (Fony!)
Then a Fee, Fy, and a Mo (Fee Fy Mo)
Then you say the name again with an M this time (Mony!)
And there isn't any name that you can't rhyme

Everybody do Tony
Tony, Tony, Bo Bony
Bonana, Fanna, Fo Fony
Fee, Fy, Mo Mony
Tony

Pretty good. Let's do Billy
Billy, Billy, Bo Illy
Bonana, Fanna, Fo Filly
Fee, Fy, Mo Milly
Billy

Very good. Let's do Marsha
Marsha, Marsha, Bo Barsha
Bonana, Fanna, Fo Farsha
Fee, Fy, Mo Arsha
Marsha

A little trick with Nick
Nick, Nick, Bo Bick
Bonana, Fanna, Fo Fick
Fee, Fy, Mo Mick
Nick

How about

Fee fy fo fum
I smell the blood of an Englishman
Be he alive or be he dead
I'll grind his bones to make my bread.

Jack and the Beanstalk... I can't believe we call these children's stories...

I'm gonna keep my sheep suit on
Until I'm sure that you've been shown
That I can be trusted walking with you alone.
Owoooooooo!

Little Red Riding Hood
I'd like to hold you if I could
But you might think I'm a big bad wolf so I won't.
Owoooooooo!

What a big heart I have-the better to love you with.
Little Red Riding Hood
Even bad wolves can be good.
I'll try to be satisfied just to walk close by your side.
Maybe you'll see things my way before we get to grandma's place.

Hey there Little Red Riding Hood
You sure are looking good
You're everything that a big bad wolf could want.
Owoooooooo! I mean baaaaaa! Baaa?



Lil' Red Riding Hood, Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs

People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down

When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange

People Are Strange, The Doors

When you're Strange - no one remembers you're name,
But Baby, I'm the bottom you're the top.

You're the top! You're the Colosseum,
You're the top! You're the Louvre Museum,
You're a melody from a symphony by Strauss,
You're a Bendel bonnet, a Shakespeare sonnet,
You're Mickey Mouse.
You're the Nile, You're the Tow'r of Pisa,
You're the smile on the Mona Lisa.
I'm a worthless check, a total wreck, a flop,
But if, Baby, I'm the bottom,
You're the top!


YOU"RE THE TOP - Cole Porter

Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, man have named you
You're so like the lady with the mystic smile
Is it only 'cause you're lonely man have blamed you
For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your smile
Do you smile to tempt a lover Mona Lisa
Or is it your way to hide a broken heart

Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm, are you real Mona Lisa
Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art

Elvis Presley, baby!

Are we really happy here
With this lonely game we play
Looking for words to say
Searching but not finding
understanding anywhere
We're lost in a masquerade

Both afraid to say we're just to far away
From being close together from the start
We tried to talk it over but the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play

This Masquerade, George Benson

Every time I tried to tell you
The words just came out wrong,
So I'll have to say I love you in a song.


I'll Have to Say I Love You In a Song, Jim Croce
