I Believe In Music

Mac Davis

© Songpainter Music, BMI

I believe in music I believe in love
I believe in music I believe in love

I could just sit around makin' music all day long
Long as I'm makin' music I know I can't do nobody wrong
And who knows maybe someday I'll come up with a song
That makes people wanna stop their fussin' and fightin'
Just long enough to sing along

I believe in music I believe in love
I believe in music I believe in love

Music is the universal language and love love is the key
To brotherhood and peace and understandin' and livin' in harmony
So take your brother by the hand and sing along with me
Find out what it really means to be young and rich and free

I believe in music oh I believe in love
And I believe in music I believe in love

Music is love love is music if you know what I mean
People who believe in music are the happiest people I've ever seen
So clap your hands stomp your feet and shake your tambourine
Raise your voices to the sky God loves you God loves you God loves you
God loves you when you sing

I believe in music oh I believe in love
I believe in music oh I believe in love
Oh I believe in music oh and I believe in love
I believe in music

My friends always feel it's their appointed duty
They try to tell me oh all you want to do is use me

Until you use me up oh until you use me up
Ah use me use me use me baby

I'd Love You To Want Me

Kent LaVoie

© Famous Music, ASCAP

When I saw you standing there I about fell out of my chair
And when you moved your mouth to speak I felt the blood go to my feet
Now it took time for me to know what you tried so not to show
Something in my soul just cries I feel the want in your blue eyes

Baby I'd love you to want me the way that I want you
The way that it should be
Baby you'd love me to want you the way that I want to
If you'd only let it be
[ instrumental ]
You told yourself years ago you'd never let your feelings show
The obligation that you made for the title that they gave

Oh but baby I'd love you to want me the way that I want you...
Baby baby I'd love you to want me oh the way that I want you...
Baby

Oh Babe What Would You Say

Eileen Smith

© Chappell Co, ASCAP

Have I a hope for half a chance
To even ask if I could dance with you uh uh
Would you greet me or politely turn away
Would there suddenly be sunshine on a cold and rainy day
Oh babe what would you say

For there are you sweet lollipops
And here am I with such a lot to say hey
Just to walk with you along the Milky Way
To caress you through the night time bring you flowers everyday
Oh babe what would you say

Oh babe baby I know I know I could be so in love with you
And I know that I could make you love me too
And if I could only hear you say you do
Well anyway what would you say
[ instrumental ]
Oh babe baby I know I know I know I could be so in love with you...
Have I a hope for half a chance...

What would you say
How bout it big boys

You're So Vain

Carly Simon

© Quackenbush Music, ASCAP

You walked in to the party like you were walkin' onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner they'd be your partner

And you're so vain you prob'ly think this song is about you
You're so vain I bet you think this song is about you
Don't you don't you

You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive
You said we made such a pretty pair and that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved and one of them was me
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee clouds in my coffee

And you're so vain you prob'ly think this song is about you...
[ instrumental ]
Well I hear you went up to Saratoga and your horse naturally won
Then you flew your learjet up to Nova Scotia to see the total eclipse of the sun
Well you're where you should be all the time
When you're not you're with some underworld spy
Or the wife of a close friend the wife of a close friend

And you're so vain you prob'ly think this song is about you...

You're so vain you're so vain
You're so vain you're so vain

Where Is The Love

Ralph McDonald - William Salter

© Antisia Music, ASCAP

Where is the love where is the love
Where is the love where is the love

Where is the love you said you'd give to me
Soon as you were free will it ever be
Where is the love

You told me that you didn't love her
And you were gonna say goodbye
But if you really didn't mean it
Why did you have to lie

Where is the love where is the love
Where is the love where is the love

Where is the love you said was mine all mine
Till the end of time was it just a line
Where is the love

If you have had a sudden change of heart
I wish that you would tell me so
Don't leave me hanging on to promises
You've got to let me know
Where is the love
[ instrumental ]
Oh how I wish I'd never meet you
I guess it must have been my fate
To fall in love with someone else's love
All I can do is wait

Oh where is the love where is the love
Where is the love where is the love
Where is the love where is the love

The Singer

Walter Marks

© Senor Music, ASCAP

In a small cafe on a crowded night
In a spot of light stands the singer
Then the band begins and the beat is strong
And the room belongs to the singer

All the people turn to hear her sad refrain
And catch the cry of pain that's in her song
But in her haunted face and in her searching eyes
There is a sign that something's wrong

Now the eager crowd hangs on every word
But the sounds are slurred by the singer
Till the people feel every aching part
Of the broken heart of the singer

Still the song goes on about a love she knew
That seemed so sure so true but turned out wrong
And from the tears she shows nobody really knows
Is she the singer or the song
Is she the singer or the song
[ instrumental ]
As the sad song ends she hits the final note
It catches in her throat cut comes out strong
And as she bows and goes nobody really knows
Was she the singer or the song
Was she the singer or the song

La la la la...

Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight

James Taylor

© Blackwood Music, BMI

Do me wrong do me right
Tell me lies but hold me tight
Save your goodbyes for the morning light
But don't let me be lonely tonight

Say goodbye and say hello
Sure enough good to see you but it's time to go
Don't say yes but please don't say no
I don't wanna be lonely tonight

Go away then damn you go on and do as you please
You ain't gonna see me gettin' down on my knees
I'm undecided your heart's been divided
You've been turnin' my world upside down

Do me wrong do me right...
[ instrumental ]
Go away then damn you go on and do as you please...
Do me wrong do me right...
I don't want to be lonely tonight

Dancing In The Moonlight

Sherman Kelly

© Unart Music, BMI

We get it on most every night
When that moon gets big and bright
It's a supernatural delight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

Everybody here is out of sight
They don't bark and they don't bite
They keep things loose they keep it tight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

Dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's feeling warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

We like our fun and we never fight
You can't dance and stay uptight
They keep things loose they keep it tight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

Dancing in the moonlight...

(Moonlight dancin' moonlight dancin'
Moonlight dancin' tonight)
[ instrumental ]
Oh dancing in the moonlight...

(Moonlight dancin' moonlight dancin'
Moonlight dancin' tonight)

We get in on most every night...
Oh dancing in the moonlight...
Dancing in the moonlight...

You Are The Sunshine Of My Life

Stevie Wonder

© Jobete Music, ASCAP

You are the sunshine of my life
That's why I'll always be around
You are the apple of my eye
Forever you'll stay in my heart

I feel like this is the beginning
Though I've loved you for a million years
If I thought our love was ending
Find myself drowning in my tears

Oh oh oh you are the sunshine of my life...

(You must have known that I was lonely)
You must have known that I was lonely
(Cause you came to my rescue)
Because you came to my rescue
(And I know that this must be heave)
Heaven
(How could so much love be inside of you)

Oh oh oh of you are the sunshine of my life
That's why I'll always be around
[ instrumental ]
You are the sunshine of my life
That's why I'll always be around
(You are the apple of my eye)
You are the apple of my eye
(You are the sunshine of my life)
You are the sunshine of my life

Baby Don't Get Hooked On Me

Mac Davis

© Songpainter Music, BMI

Boy you've got that look in your eyes
And it's startin' to worry me
I ain't ready for no family ties
Nobody's gonna hurry me
Just keep it friendly boy cause I don't wanna leave
Don't start clinging to me boy cause I can't breathe

Oh baby baby don't get hooked on me
Baby baby don't get hooked on me
Cause I'll just use you then I'll set you free
Baby baby don't get hooked on me oh no

Boy you're a hot blooded man alright
And it's warm where you're touchin' me
But I can tell by your tremblin' smile
You're seeing way too much in me
Oh boy don't let your life get tangled up with mine
Cause I'll just leave you I can't take I can't take no clinging vine

Baby baby don't get hooked on me...
No oh oh baby baby don't get hooked on me...
