I. O. U. (A BROKEN HEART)

(Joyce Selznick - George Fischoff)
« © '67 Screen Gems Music, BMI »
Dear I've been remembering all we used to do
The things we shared together the things that IOU

IOU the long long waits
The broken dates when you were out with someone new
IOU the tears I've cried
The times you lied and told me you were being true
IOU a thousand fights
The sleepless nights your cheating ways kept me awake
IOU a broken heart but you haven't got a heart for me to break

If I tried for ever still I really know
I could never never pay you all I owe

IOU the deep distress
The sorry mess you made of all the hopes I knew
IOU the vows you broke
The great big joke you made of my great love for you
IOU the tortured brain
The hurt and pain I used to bear for true love's sake
IOU a broken heart but you haven't got a heart for me to break

IOU times and tons of grief and misery
IOU alibis that wouldn't get by a little child of three

For my parting words to you I hope before life's through
you will owe to someone else all that IOU

IOU some bitter pills
The shakes and chills I got when you would never phone
IOU the many times the endless times had to sit at home alone
IOU a thing or two
For all the love you'd never give but always take
IOU a broken heart but you haven't got a heart for me to break
IOU a broken heart but you haven't got a heart for me to break

I'M LOOKING FOR A WORLD

(John D. Loudermilk)
« © '65 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
A paper pack of sugar a plastic spoon and knife
A paper cup a paper plate a different boy each night

(I'm getting tired) of a paper and a plastic world
One that's not a lasting world that's how I feel
(I'm looking for) a silver and a crystal world
Not an artificial world but one that is real

Shiny plastic flowers electronic steeple chimes
Seem to be becoming the symbols of our times

I'm looking for a simple sandy suntan world
Not a handy sunlamp world but one that is true
(I'm searching for) the kind and honest joy
That I'll find in a boy like you

I CAN'T SEE ME WITHOUT YOU

(Sandra Rhodes)
« © '67 High Harmony Music, BMI »
I can't see why you said goodbye
And bring in my happy world such a lonely blue
I don't know how I can make it now
Cause I can't see me without you

I woke up this morning feeling mighty fine
I can't find out until now baby's no longer mine

I can't see why you said goodbye...

Walking down a Happy Street looking for my man
It turned into a Lonely Street he was holdin' another girl's hand

I can't see why you said goodbye...
I can't see me without you

SAD SAD WORLD

(Sandra Rhodes)
« © '67 High Harmony Music, BMI »
I saw a pretty moon a shining bright
And a big black cloud push it out of sight
I saw a boy break the heart of a girl
I'll tell you it's a sad sad sad sad sad world

I saw a pretty flower nod its head
Then the mean wind blew until the flower was dead
I saw tears fall down the face of that girl
I'll tell you it's a sad sad sad sad sad world

If you weren't gone then my life wouldn't be so bad
But you're not with me that's what makes the world so sad

I saw a little girl cry alone
Cause she was lost and could not find her home
Now that you're gone I'm just like that little girl
I'll tell you it's a sad sad sad sad sad world

Yes I know it's a sad sad sad sad sad world
Let me tell you it's a sad sad sad sad sad world

HE DOESN'T LOVE ME ANYMORE

(Carolyn Penick)
« © '67 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
When he walked away I thought my eyes would deceiving
I told myself he isn't really leaving
But he left me he doesn't love me anymore

Now he's really gone there's nothing left to cling to
I'm all alone with no one to talk to
He left me he doesn't love me anymore

I suffer through the lonely nights for he is all I see
Someone stands beside him but she doesn't look like me

Where can I go now my heart is dying
My tears won't show although I'm still crying
Cause he left me he doesn't love me anymore
[ guitar ] Where can I go now my heart is dying...

FUEL TO THE FLAME

(Dolly Parton - Bill Owens)
« © '67 Combine Music, BMI »
You kindle the fire of love inside me each time our lips meet
I'm not strong when we're alone your kisses make me weak
You must know how I feel but do you feel the same
Every time you kiss me you add fuel to the flame

My eyes light up when I see you I burn with desire
Each time you're near you say you care but still I'm not sure
Please don't ask me to love you if you're not going to change my name
Cause every time you kiss me you add fuel to the flame

This fire of love you started inside me has reached my very soul
You're adding fuel to a flame that's already out of control
When you give me your name I'll give you everything
Yes everytime you kiss me you add fuel to the flame

SOMETHING COMES OVER ME

(Sandra Rhodes)
« © '67 High Harmony Music, BMI »
You ask if I love you I don't know how to say
Just how much I love you let me prove it this way

Something comes over me something takes hold of me
It just won't let go of me when I'm with you
Something goes down my spine when you tell me you're mine
Something comes over me that something is you

You ask how long I'll love you you had nothing to fear
You should know that I'll love you as long as when you're near

Something comes over me...
I think that is you oh it's gotta be you

IT'S A CRAZY WORLD

(Bill Dees)
« © '67 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
(It's a crazy world)

Now I'm alone starting to cry because my man just said goodbye
He thinks I threw him away even when I begged him to stay
Oh oh oh oh oh it's a crazy world

Right down the street not very far my man speed find him a bar
He thinks he's got it made but he can't take his troubles away
Oh oh oh oh oh it's a crazy world

Nothing to him meant something to me
What makes want a prisoner sets another one free
What makes me lonely makes someone else glad
What make me happy does someone else mad
It's a crazy world

You say it's the truth I know it's a lie you tell me hello you mean goodbye
Two and two used to make four but I just don't know anymore
Oh oh oh oh oh it's a crazy world
Oh oh oh oh oh it's a crazy world
It's a crazy world it's a crazy world it's a crazy world

SET HIM FREE

(Marie Wilson - Skeeter Davis - Helen Mayers)
« © '59 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Set him free set him free for I love him you see

(Order in the court do you swear to tell the truth
The whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you God)

Yes I do Judge I don't believe in divorces unless they just have to be
But after you have heard my story I know you'll set this man free
It began right after the wedding she cheated and she lied from the start
And I could see from the way they were headed
This woman would soon break his heart

Set him free set him free for I love him you see

The three of us were always the best of friends
But when I leave this courtroom Judge I know our friendship ends
If you could have heard the awful things that I've heard her say
She'd slapped his face she celled his name and he'd just turn away
And the nights we went out for fun it was all so plain to see
She would dance all night with someone else then she'd leave him there with me

Set him free set him free for I love him you see

Now I ask you Judge to understand think it over slow
You see I fell in love with him and I don't care who knows
I would respect him as a husband and I would treat him like a man
I know I can help him find more happiness than this woman ever can
Now Judge you've heard my story it's true as it can be
I even told you that I love him so Judge won't you please set him free

Set him free set him free for I love him you see
(Set him free)

WHAT I GO THRU (TO KEEP HOLDING ON TO YOU)

(Sandra Rhodes)
« © '67 High Harmony Music, BMI »
What I go thru to keep holding on to you

I pick your dirty shirt up off the floor
And wash out all the lipstick stains once more
Pretend that I don't know about those bad things you do
What I go thru to keep holding on to you

Pretend that I'm asleep when you come in
So I won't have to ask you where you've been
Cause I'm afraid you'd tell me what I won't admit is true
What I go thru to keep holding on to you

Everybody wonders jow I make it
And even you must wonder why I take it
But everytime you step across that line
My crazy heart knows maybe it's the last time

I've learned to hide my hurt behind a smile
And hoped that you'll be true for just a while
But all the time I know you'll do just what you want to do
What I go thru to keep holding on to you
What I go thru to keep holding on to you

YOU TAUGHT ME EVERYTHING THAT I KNOW

(Skeeter Davis)
« © '67 High Harmony Music, BMI »
You taught me to kiss so it would thrill you
You showed me how to hold you so close
You told me just how to love you
You taught me everything that I know

I wore my hair the way you liked it
You even tipped out my clothes
Yes I did everything just to please you
You taught me everything that I know

I was like rain in your hands
You made me love you so
Now you tell me you don't want me
You say just forget and let you go

Well I don't know a thing about forgetting
All I've learned is how to love you so
And if you leave how can I learn to forget you
You taught me everything that I know

WHAT DOES IT TAKE (TO KEEP A MAN LIKE YOU SATISFIED)

(Jim Glaser)
« © '67 Ensign Music, BMI »
I guess my loving just ain't good enough for you
Cause every time I turn my head you look at someone new
Your kind don't like walking babe you want an easy ride
What does it take to keep a man like you satisfied
[ strings ] You've got a plan in mind to make things come your way
I wonder if it's worth the price you have to pay
Cause life gets cold and lonely when your self respect has died
What does it take to keep a man like you satisfied
[ strings ] You think you need more love than any other man
Someday you'll taste your cup of life and find it filled with sand

And then you'll have to turn and face the man within
For where I stand I don't think you'll be proud of where you've been
And when you're running from yourself there's just no place to hide
What does it take to keep a man like you satisfied
[ strings ] What does it take to keep a man like you satisfied
