Ain't No Sunshine

Bill Withers

© Interior Music, BMI

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away

Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away

I know I know I know I know I know
I know I know I know I know I know
I know I know I know I know I know I know I know

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness every day
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away anytime she goes away

You Don't Know Me

Cindy Walker - Eddy Arnold

© Hill And Range Songs, BMI

You give your hand to me and then you say hello
And I can hardly speak my heart is beating so
And anyone can tell you think you know me well
Well you don't know me

No you don't know the one who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips and longs to hold you tight
Oh I'm just a friend that's all I've ever been
Cause you don't know me

For I never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy I let my chance go by
A chance that you might love me too

You give your hand to me and then you say goodbye
I watched you walk away beside the lucky guy
Oh you'll never ever know the one who loved you so
Well you don't know me

For I never knew the art of making love...
Oh you give your hand to me and then you say goodbye...

How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)

Brian Holland - Lamont Dozier - Eddie Holland

© Jobete Music, ASCAP

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
I needed the shelter of someone's arms and there you were
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs and there you were
With sweet love and devotion
Deeply touching my emotions
I want to stop and thank you baby
I want to stop and thank you baby
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

I close my eyes at night
And wonder what would I be without you in my life
Everything was just a bore
All the things I did seems I'd done 'em before
But you brighten up for me all of my days
With a love so sweet in so many ways
I want to stop and thank you baby
I want to stop and thank you baby
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

You were better to me than I've been to myself
For me there's you and nobody else
I want to stop and thank you baby
I want to stop and thank you baby
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

Three Times A Lady

Lionel Richie

© Jobete Music, ASCAP

Thanks for the times that you've given me
The memories are all in my mind
And now that we've come to the end of our rainbow
There's something I must say out loud

You're once twice three times a lady
And I love you
Yes you're once twice three times a lady
And I love you I love you

You shared my dreams my joys my pains
You made my life worth living for
And if I had to live my life over again dear
I'd spend each and every moment with you

You're once twice three times a lady...

When we are together the moments I cherish
With every beat of my heart
To touch you to hold you to feel you to need you
There's nothing to keep us apart

You're once twice three times a lady...

Share Your Love With Me

Don Robey - Al Braggs - Deadric Malone

© Duchess Music, BMI

It's an ill wind that blows no good
And it's a sad heart that won't love like it should
Oh how lonesome you must be and it's a shame
If you don't share your love with me

It's a heartache when love is gone
And it can get even worse if it keeps on
Blinder than he who won't see and it's a shame
If you don't share your love with me

I can't help it if she is gone
You must try to forget you must live on
It's a good thing to love someone
But it's bad and even sad when it's not returned

Oh how lonesome you must be and it's a shame
If you don't share your love with me
And I said it's a shame
If you don't share your love with me

I Don't Need You

Rick Christian

© Songs Of Universal, BMI

I don't need you I don't need friendship
I don't need flowers in the spring
I don't need you and you surely don't need me

I don't need love and affection
I don't peace and harmony
I don't need you and you surely don't need me

But we both want it bad enough
Yes we both want it don't we
I don't need you baby and I know you don't need me

I don't need your loving arms around me
All I need is to be free
That's what I keep telling myself
And I tell you you don't need me

I don't need children in my old age
No more cluttered leaves around the tree
And I don't need you baby and I know you don't need me

But we both want it bad enough
Yes we both want it don't we
I don't need you baby and I know you don't need me

And we don't need each other baby
We don't need each other baby or do we

This Masquerade

Leon Russell

© Skyhill Pub, BMI

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

Both afraid to say we're just too 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

Thoughts of leaving disappear every time I see your eyes
No matter how hard I try
To understand the reasons that we carry on this way
We're lost in this masquerade

Both afraid to say we're just too far away...
Thoughts of leaving disappear every time I see your eyes...

Since I Fell For You

Buddy Johnson

© Advanced Music, ASCAP

When you just give love and never get love
You’d better let love depart
I know it's so and yet I know
I can't get you out of my heart

You made me leave my happy home
You took my love and now you're gone
Since I fell for you

Your sweet love brings such misery
Misery and pain
I guess I'll never never never
Never never be the same since I fell for you

It's so bad it's so sad but I'm in love in love with you
You love me but then you turn around and snub me
Oh what am I supposed to do I'm still in love with you

I guess I I guess I'll never see the light
I get the blues most every night every night
Since I fell for you

Ooh what a day ooh when I met ya
How would I know ooh but what can I do
Because I'm still in love with you

I guess I'll never never never never never never see the light
I get the blues most every night every every night
Since I fell for you since I fell for you
What can I do without you

Don't Fall In Love With A Dreamer

Kim Carnes - Dave Ellingson

© Appian Music, ASCAP

with Kim Carnes

Just look at you sitting there
You never looked better than tonight
And it would be so easy to tell you I'd stay
Like I've done so many times

I was so sure that this would be the night
You'd close the door and wanna stay with me
And it'd be so easy to tell you I'd wait
Like I've done so many times

Don't fall in love with a dreamer
Cause he'll always take you in
Just when you think you've really changed him
He'll leave you again
Don't you fall in love with a dreamer
'Cause he'll break you every time
Put out the light and just hold on
Before we say goodbye

Now it's morning the phone rings
And you say you've gotta get your things together
You just gotta leave before you change your mind
And if you knew what I was thinking girl
I'd turn around if you'd just ask me one more time

Don't fall in love with a dreamer...
Before we said goodbye goodbye

You Looked So Beautiful

Steve Glassmeyer - Warren Hartman - Kenny Rogers

© Fat Lady Music, BMI

Hey Mr Piano man play a song if you can
Talks about a love so fine and true
Someone special is on their way
Is there something you can play
That will help me when I try to say
You looked so beautiful when you walked through the door
Mine weren't the only eyes that looked at you and wanted more
I loved you standing there moonlight still in your hair
And when looked at me my heart stood still
And then you came to me I loved their jealousy
And every head inside would turn and share this dream with me
And then you take my hand and I can't understand just what is you see in me
You shouldn't have to wait for some plan romantic date
To hear the thing your heart must know is true
And if you close your eyes much to my surprise
I might even chance a dance with you
Where have all the people gone let's dance just one more song
I get so caught up in your eyes and look it's almost dawn
I hope by now you know I really love you so
And every song he played tonight he played for you
