Music and lyrics by Josie Cotton
Yeah
Every time I just stop and think
Everything is so shocking pink
Everything is oh yeah yeah
Oh you
Yesterday was your baby blue
Now you’re painting a different hue
Everything is oh yeah
Bridge:
You can make the rain go
Away from the sky
Flyin’ through a rainbow
In a red balloon to a yellow moon so high
I think you know why
Yeah
So tomorrow’s a purple haze
No escaping it anyway
Everything is oh yeah
Bridge:
Yeah nothing’s ever just black and white
Underneath where the colors hide
Your everything is oh yeah
Everything is oh yeah
Everything is oh yeah
Music and lyrics by Josie Cotton
I just love the way you rock
From the bottom to the top
I can’t deny it cuz it’s true
It’s all too much
But I can’t get enough of it
And I believe in credit where it’s due
Chorus:
I just love the way you rock
When you hold me never stop
Honey, show me what the words could never say
Don’t ever change the crazy way you rock
Rock on …Keep on rockin’ baby
The way you rock
I can’t believe the way you touch and you squeeze
I go weak in the knees when you start
Whole lot a kissin’ when you rock me to the rhythm baby
Play me the music in your heart
Chorus
Don’t ever change
I love the way you rock
Music and lyrics by Josie Cotton
I’ve got better things to do
Then to fall in love with you
And give you all I got
Absolutely not
Unless you really want me to
I’ve been on my own
And I learned to live alone
That’s just the way I am
Won’t change for any man
Unless you really want me to
I can see it now
And I guess there’s no way out
When you look at me like you read my mind
You know it’s giving me chills
Yea it’s been a long, been a long time
I’ve been hurt before
And because of that I swore
To let no other in
I’ll never love again
Unless you really want me to
Right outside that door
Are a million guys or more
I couldn’t choose just one
My heart is on the run
And I really don’t want you
Unless you really want me too
Unless you really want me too
Music and lyrics by Josie Cotton
On the Boulevard you’ll arrive tonight
All the sights and sounds come alive at night
And everywhere you look you’ll see
The only place you want to be
Room for you and there’s room for me
On the boulevard you’ll find away
On the boulevard it’s what the poets say
On the boulevard meet me today
On the boulevard
Won’t know what you miss if you stay inside
It’s a carnival when the world goes by
And you don’t have to be alone
It’s everyone you’ve ever known
The ones who win and the ones who don’t
Chorus
Now it’s 4 AM all the people are gone
Just an empty street when the night is done
And you can’t find a taxicab
Your memories are all you have
You should know there’s no turning back
On the boulevard you’ll find a way
On the boulevard it’s what the poets say
On the boulevard meet me today
On the boulevard
Music and lyrics by Josie Cotton
She’s the girl with the something extra
People watching her wherever she goes
She’s got all the moves and she’s nobody’s fool
Looks a little like a Marilyn Monroe
Oh yea
Sometimes girl
Always running somewhere
Sometimes girl
Will she ever get there ?
They don’t understand
She’s not living in the same world
This strange girl
I see her passing by
Beauty in motion
But in the eyes of her
There’s no emotion
She carries a photograph
Someone had taken
But love is so black-and-white
And so overrated
And when the day comes
Another night is through
Now what you gonna do ?
Somewhere somewhere
She’s the girl with the something missing
Like a dream you can barely recall
You remember the face but it’s so out of place
You open your eyes and she’s gone
Oh yea
Chorus
Music and lyrics by Paul McCartney and John Lennon
We said our goodbyes, ah, the night before
Love was in your eyes, ah, the night before
Now today I find you have changed your mind
Treat me like you did the night before
Were you telling lies, ah, the night before?
Was I so unwise, ah, the night before?
When I held you near you were so sincere
Treat me like you did the night before
Last night is the night I will remember you by
When I think of the things we did it makes me want to cry
We said our goodbyes, ah, the night before
Love was in your eyes, ah, the night before
Now today I find you have changed your mind
Treat me like you did the night before
When I held you near you were so sincere
Treat me like you did the night before
Last night is the night I will remember you by
When I think of the things we did, it makes me want to cry
Were you telling lies, ah, the night before?
Was I so unwise, ah, the night before?
When I held you near you were so sincere
Treat me like you did the night before
Like the night before
Music and lyrics by Bobby and Larson Paine
Well sittin’ in the back yard
Strummin’ on a guitar
He wants to strike it rich
But he don’t wanna work hard
They offered him a job and it sounds real fine
He’d take it in a minute
But he ain’t got the time
He’s got me for a woman and I’m real hot stuff
He loves my kind of lovin’
And he can’t get enough
I knew he was a lover
From our first night together
With his black wavy hair
And his v-neck sweater
Well he moved so fine
And he caught my eye
And I just had to tell him
When he walked by
I said now slow down honey
That’s a real hot stuff
He loves my kind lovin’
And he can’t get enough
Well loves my kind of lovin’
And he just won’t stop
Talk about lover
He’s the cream of the crop
Now talk about a man
A one of a kind
He loves my kind of lovin’
And he’s mine all mine
Well my old granny
Was just about dead
And when we paid a visit
She jumped out of bed
Chased him through the kitchen
Caught him in the hall
Started throwing kisses on him
Up against the wall
I said now “Watch out granny
That’s a real hot stuff”
He loves my kind of lovin’
And he can’t get enough
Chorus
Music and lyrics by Bobby and Larson Paine
If you take a love that’s the property
Of somebody else
That constitutes a capital crime
But stealin’ kisses ain’t what this is
I’m just helping myself
And takin’ what’s rightfully mine
Now hold it right there
This is a stick up baby hold it right there
Hand over your heart
I don’t want to hurt you babe just give me your love
Hand over your heart
Now if you wanna run ..go on run
You’re already caught
My lovin’ I’ve been aimin’ at you
So don’t jump the gun...I’m the one
Whose callin’ the shots
And I said freeze
Baby don’t even move
Chorus
I can feel your body tremble
You’re such an easy mark
But you were the one
Who wanted to go
Walkin’ after dark
Chorus
Music and lyrics by Bobby and Larson Paine
Well I’ve been workin’ on a perfect plan
I’ll be your woman if you be my man
I’m gonna give you my heart
Cuz I know your love is real
I’ve got everything in the material world
Now all I want is to be your girl
Get down to business baby let’s cut a deal
I said I’ll make the money, you make the love
Just make it so I get home at night
I’m the only one you’re thinkin’ of
And you can kick back every morning
I’ll go push and shove
I said I’ll make the money honey
You make the love
Take karate class
Join a country club
You can spend all day soaking in the tub
Lay around the house
Baby it’s all on me
But when quitting time
Comes a rollin’ around
I wanna hold you in my arms
Watch the sun go down
All alone together
In the lap of luxury
I’ll make the money honey
You make the love
Music and lyrics by Josie Cotton
I’m gonna stand far away from the crowd uh huh
Leave all the world behind me
What’s done is done
I’m gonna hold my head up high
Let them laugh yea when I walk by
Cuz it gets to the point
Gotta take a look
Forget the pictures in the storybook
That’s all behind you when you’re far away from the crowd
Far away from the crowd
Every face I see is a voice I hear
Till I can feel my own start to disappear
And you can bet they’re gonna let you know
When you don’t fit in with the status quo no ...They won’t let go
When it gets to the point gotta take a look
Forget the pictures in the storybook
No more heroes …You’re far away from the crowd
Far away from the crowd
Father wants you to make him proud
Preacher says it’s not long now
The lovers ...The others
They all want a piece
Everybody wants to live my life for me
And it gets to the point gotta take a look
Forget the pictures in the storybook
You’re all alone now, all alone now
So far from home now
You’re far away from the crowd
Music and lyrics by JB Frank
Boy you know that you’re so fine
Got the girls waiting in line
Waitin’ but they never get nothin’ no
It’s a game that you like to play
And you always gotta have your own way
Gotta have it all
You gotta be the main attraction
You can do anything that you want to do baby
Fine as you are, Fine as you are
You can go anywhere that you want to go baby
Fine as you are
You better get it straight now
If you want me you better speak now
Cuz I don’t think there’s gonna be a next time baby
Asked me to come and meet you
Looks like there’s others here too
You got your problems but I ain’t one of them ...No
Chorus
Do what you wanna do
But you’re gonna live your whole life through
Lookin’ for a love you let slip through your fingers
Baby it’s a big town
And I ain’t gonna stick around
Waitin’ my turn with the other girls no
I don’t mean to put you down
But there’s a lot of boys around
Fine as you are
Fine as you are baby
Chorus
Music and lyrics by Cat Stevens
In the midnight moonlight hour
I’m walkin’ that long lonely mile
And every time I do
I keep seein’ this picture of you
Chorus:
Here comes my baby
Here he comes now
And it comes as no surprise to me
With some other girl
Here comes my baby
Here he comes now
Walkin’ with a love that’s oh so fine
Never to be mine, no matter how I try
No you never walk alone
And you’re always talkin’ on the telephone
Each night I call out your name
But every time it comes out the same
Chorus
