I'd Do Anything

Matt Dubey - Harold Karr

© Chappell Co, ASCAP

Anything oh I'd do anything
To get you back again
To make you mine again
Just tell me how

Anything oh I'd do anything
To make it up to you
Just tell me what to do
I'll do it now

I never knew I never knew
That I could miss anyone as much as I miss you

So say the word
Oh darling say the word
And I'll come running home
Back to your loving arms lucky and now

I never knew I never knew
That I could miss anyone as much as I miss you

So say the word...

Just tell me how
Oh I'd do anything anything anything

You Do Something To Me

Cole Porter

© Harms Music, ASCAP

You do something to me
Something that simply mystifies me
Tell me why should it be
You have the power to hypnotize me

Let me live neath your spell
Do do that voodoo that you do so well
You do something to me
That nobody else could do

You you do something to me
Something that simply mystifies me
Tell me why should it be
You have the power to hypnotize me

Let me live neath your spell
Do do that voodoo that you do so well
You do something to me
When you do that voodoo that voodoo that you do
Nobody else can do

You're The One

William Strayhorn

© Chappell Co, ASCAP

Painters have tried to capture you on canvas
Fools poets have tried to sum you up in a word
Why can't they reach a conclusion
Their confusion is absurd

You're the one out of many
Who could make me believe that there's anyone
Who could ever receive my love and devotion
I've a notion you're life's reward

You're the boy that I dream of
And your face is the start of my scheme of things
Not to love you my sweet would be my undoin'
Drive me to ruin and wreck

I've watched you from afar
And I've made up my mind
You're my permanent star
And your bright light has got me blind

I'm just one out of many
Who can hope lady luck will be kind to me
I'm a dope maybe so
But let me take you let me make you mine

I've watched you from afar...
I'm just one out of many...

Fun To Be Fooled

Ira Gershwin - Harold Arlen

© Harwin Music, ASCAP

Spring is here, I'm a fool if I fall again
And yet I'm enthralled by its call again
You say you love me I know from the past
You mean to love me but these things don't last

Fools rush in to begin new love affairs
But tonight tonight my dear who cares

Fun to be fooled fun to pretend
Fun to believe love is unending
Tonight I was done still it is fun being fooled again

Nice when you can tell all that you feel
Nice to be told this is the real thing
Fun to be kissed fun to exist to be fooled again

It's that Old Devil Moon having his fling once more
Selling me spring once more
I'm in love and love is king once more
Fun to be fooled fun to pretend this little dream won't end

Call Me Darling

Bert Reinsford - Mart Fryberg - Dorothy Dick

© Joy Music, ASCAP

Call me darling call me sweetheart call me dear
Thrill me darling with the words I long to hear
In your dark eyes so smiling there's a promise I see
But your two lips won't say you care for me

Oh my darling if my daydreams would come true
You would meet me at a secret rendezvous
And I'd find that paradise that lies deep in your eyes
Call me darling call me sweetheart call me dear

Oh my darling if my daydreams would come true...

It's All Right With Me

Cole Porter

© Buxton Hill Music, ASCAP

It's the wrong time and the wrong place
Though your face is charming it's the wrong face
It's not his face but such a charming face
That it's all right with me

It's the wrong song in the wrong style
Though your smile is lovely it's the wrong smile
It's not his smile but such a lovely smile
That it's all right with me

You can't know how happy I am that we met
I'm strangely attracted to you
There's someone I'm tryin' so hard to forget
Don't you wanna forget someone too

It's the wrong game with the wrong chips
Though your lips are tempting they're the wrong lips
They're not his lips but they're such tempting lips
That if some night you're free
Dear it's all right it's all right with me

The wrong time the wrong place
The wrong face his face but such a face
That its all right with me
The wrong song the wrong style
The wrong smile not his smile but such a smile
That its all right with me

You can't know how happy I am that we met
I'm strangely attracted to you
There's someone I'm tryin' so hard to forget
Don't you want to forget someone too

It's the wrong game with the wrong chips
Though your lips are tempting they're the wrong lips
They're not his lips but they're such tempting lips
That if some night you're free
Dear it's all right yes it's all right
It's all right with me

Frankie And Johnny

Phil Moore - Lennie Hayton

© Peer Int, BMI

There's a procession going by
Trouble over that Nellie Bly
Here comes Frankie
Maybe she'll tell us what happened

He was my man but he done me wrong
Come on Frankie I gotta take you in now
Oh officer let's hear the story
Frankie and Johnny were lovers
Oh my but how they could love
We swore to be true to each other
Just as true as the stars above

He was my man but he done me wrong
He told me that he'd have to leave me
He said he wouldn't be long
He said don't wait up for me honey
I'll be back fore very long
He was my man but he done me wrong

I went down to this barroom the barroom was so near
I asked old Joe the bartender has my loving Johnny been here
Now, Joe, don't tell me no story now Joe don't tell me no lie
Has my man Johnny been here with that gal Nellie Bly
Ain't no use in my lying Frankie you'd find out anyway
Yeah he was here that's so that's so which way'd he go

I went downtown to the pawn shop bought myself a .44
She aimed it up at the ceiling and shot a great big hole in the floor
Then I went back to Ma Rainey's and I looked in the window so high
She saw her sweet man Johnny making love to that Nellie Bly
That's bad

So I put my .44 in the window and I took very careful aim
And I shot him three times in his hard heart
And I shot him three times again
He was my man but he done me wrong

Roll him over real easy roll him over real slow
Yes roll him over real easy
Cause these bullets are hurting him so
He was my man but he done me wrong

Frankie walked slow to the barroom
And sat at the table right here
Waitin' for the law to come get her
Waitin' for her time to come near

Come on Frankie let's go
Well that's the end of my story
Well that's the end of my song
Johnny dear if you can hear me
I'll be with you for very long
He was my man but he done me wrong
Yes he done me wrong
Frankie and Johnny were lovers
Johnny done wrong
Frankie and Johnny were lovers
He done me wrong

Let Me Love You

Bart Howard

© Almanac Music, ASCAP

Let me love you let me say that I do
If you lend me your ear
I'll make it clear the way that I do

Let me whisper it let me sigh it
Let me sing it my dear or I will cry it

Let me love you let me show that I do
Let me do a million impossible things
So you'll know that I do

I'll buy you the dawn
If you let me love you today
And if that's not enough
I'll buy you the first of May

Let me love you let me show that I do
If you lend me your ear
I'll make it clear the way that I do

Let me whisper it let me sigh it
Let me sing it my dear or I will cry it

Let me love you let me show that I do
Let me do a million impossible things
So you'll know that I do

I'll buy you the dawn
If you let me love you today
And tomorrow I'll send you
Merrily on your way

Love Is The Thing

Ned Washington - Victor Young

© Joy Music, ASCAP

What does it matter if we're rich or we're poor
Fortune and fame they never endure
Love is the thing love is the thing

What good is money if your heart isn't light
Here in your arms I'm wealthy tonight
While youth has its fling love is the thing

While others fight for power
We can stroll among the flowers
Knowing that the best thing in life
Is a thing that's free love for you and me

And even though our castles crumble and fall
We'll have the right to laugh at it all
For love is still king love is the thing

While everybody fights for power
We can stroll among the flowers
Knowing that the best thing in life
Is a thing that's free love for you and me

Though our castles crumble and fall
We'll have the right to laugh at it all
For love is still king love is the thing

Then I'll Be Tired Of You

E.Y. Harburg - Arthur Schwartz

© Harms Music, ASCAP

I'll be tired of you
When stars are tired of gleaming
When I am tired of dreaming
Then I'll be tired of you

This I know is true
When winds are tired of blowing
When grass is tired of growing
Then I'll be tired of you

Beyond the years till day is night
Till wrong is right till birds refuse to sing
Beyond the years the echo of my only love
Will still be whispering whispering

If my throbbing heart
Should ever start repeating
That it is tired of beating
Then I'll be tired of you

Beyond the years till day is night...
If my throbbing heart...
Of you of you

It's Love

Adolph Green - Betty Comden - Leonard Bernstein

© Chappell Co, ASCAP

It's love it's love well who would have thought it
If this is love then why have I fought it
What a way to feel I could touch the sky
What a way to feel I have found my guy

It's love at last I've someone to cheer for
It's love at last I've learned what we're here for
I've heard it said you'll know it when you see it
Well is see it I know it it's love

It's love, it's love well who would have thought it...

It's love at last I've someone to cheer for
It's love at last I've learned what we're here for
I've heard it said you'll know it when you see it
Well is see it I know it I feel it it's love
