The other day, I posted something in another thread where I asked members what was the first word that popped into their head when they saw/heard the word "cheap"?
My first response was from
Whoknows and his reply was "perfume". That phrase, cheap perfume, made me instantly think of Journey's DON'T STOP BELIEVING. The post went in a different direction from what I planned but it was so much fun! Example, there were other responses to the word "cheap" that included shoddy, floozy and several more and
huxley999 was able to cite songs with those words in them!
Let's pick a RANDOM word and see if a song comes to mind. My guess is not every word will trigger a song to pop into our heads, but who knows. If you would kindly post a few lines of the song that reflects "the word", the name of the song and the artist and if you like, a YouTube link to the song. PLEASE ATTACH YOUR SONG TO THE PARTICULAR "WORD OF THE DAY".
Let's have some musical fun!
When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best
When they lay me down to die
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky (spirit in the sky)
That's where I'm gonna go when I die (when I die)
When I die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best
Prepare yourself, you know it's a must
Gotta have a friend in Jesus
So you know that when you die
He's gonna recommend you to the spirit in the sky (spirit in the sky)
Whoa, he'll recommend you to the spirit in the sky
That's where you're gonna go when you die (when you die)
When you die, and they lay you to rest
You're gonna go to the place that's the best
Never been a sinner, I've never sinned
I've got a friend in Jesus
So you know that when I die
He's gonna set me up with the spirit in the sky
Whoa, set me up with the spirit in the sky (spirit in the sky)
That's where I'm gonna go when I die (when I die)
When I die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best
Go to the place that's the best

You're my baby and I love you
You can take a pound of love and cook it in the stew
And when you've finished doing that, I know what you'll wanna do
'Cause you're my baby and I love you
I'm your baby, do you love me?
I can drive a Cadillac across the Irish Sea
But when I've finished doing that, I know where I'll wanna be
'Cause I'm your baby, and you love me
SPIRITS of ancient Egypt
Shadows of ancient Rome
Spirits of ancient Egypt
Hung on the telly, hung on the telly
Hung on the telephone
You're my baby, I know you know
You could sell an elevator to Geronimo
And when you've finished doing that, I know where you'll wanna go
'Cause you're my baby, I know you know
Spirits of ancient Egypt
Echoes of sunken Spain
Spirits of ancient Egypt
Hung on the phone a, hung on the phone a
Hung on the phone again

And I love you so
People ask me how
How I've lived 'til now
I tell them I don't know
I guess they understand
How lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand
And yes, I know how lonely life can be
When Shadows follow me and the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me
And you love me too
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my SPIRIT free
I'm happy that you do
The book of life is brief
And once the page is read
All but love is dead
This is my belief
Oh, and yes, I know how lonely life can be
When shadows follow me and the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me, now you know
Thank you
Thank you very much

Begin the day with a friendly voice
A companion, unobtrusive
Plays that song that's so elusive
And the magic music makes your morning mood
Off on your way, hit the open road
There is magic at your fingers
For the spirits ever lingers
Undemanding contact in your happy solitude
Invisible airwaves crackle with life
Bright antennae bristle with the energy
Emotional feedback on a timeless wavelength
Bearing a gift beyond price, almost free
All this machinery making modern music
Can still be open-hearted
Not so coldly charted, it's really just a question of your honesty
Yeah, your honesty
One likes to believe in the freedom of music
But glittering prizes and endless compromises
Shatter the illusion of integrity, yeah
Invisible airwaves crackle with life
Bright antennae bristle with the energy
Emotional feedback on a timeless wavelength
Bearing a gift beyond price, almost free
For the words of the profits were written on the studio wall
Concert hall
Echoes with the sounds of salesmen
Of salesman, of salesmen
Smells Like Teen SPIRIT - Nirvana

On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
This could be heaven or this could be hell
Then she lit up a candle
And she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (any time of year)
You can find it here
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted
She got the Mercedes-Benz, uh
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
That she calls friends
How they danced in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember
Some dance to forget
So I called up the captain
"Please bring me my wine"
He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since 1969"
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
Bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling
The pink champagne on ice
And she said, "We are all just prisoners here
Of our own device"
And in the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember
I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
"Relax," said the night man
"We are programmed to receive
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave"
I'm going up the country
Baby, don't you wanna go?
I'm going up the country
Baby, don't you wanna go?
I'm going to some place
Where I've never been before
I'm going, I'm going
Where the water tastes like wine
I'm going where the water tastes like wine
We can jump in the water
Stay drunk all the time
I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away
I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away
All this fussing and fighting, man, you know I sure can't stay
Now baby, pack your leaving trunk, you know we've got to leave today
Just exactly where we're going I cannot say
But we might even leave the U.S.A.
'Cause there's a brand new game that I wanna play
No use of you running or screaming and crying
'Cause you've got a home, man
Long as I've got mine

I'm goin' up (I'm goin' up)
Oh, I'm goin' up, up, up, up
It's 'bout as bad as it could be
Seems everybody's buggin' me
Like nothing wants to go my way
Yeah, it just ain't been my day
Nothin's comin' easily
Even my skin is acting weird
I wish that I could grow a beard
Then I could cover up my spots
Not play connect the dots
I just want to disappear
Up, up, up
Can only go up from here
Up, up, up
Where the clouds gonna clear
Up, up
There's no way but up from here
Even something as simple as
Forgettin' to fill up on gas
There ain't no explanation why
Things like that can make you cry
Just gotta learn to have a laugh
And up, up, up
Can only go up from here
Up, up, up
Where the clouds gonna clear

I think I'm GOING back
To the things I learned so well in my youth
I think I'm returning to
Those days when I was young enough to know the truth
Now there are no games
To only pass the time
No more coloring books
No Christmas bells to chime
But thinking young and growing older is no sin
And I can play the game of life to win
I can recall a time
When I wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend
And now I think I've got
A lot more than a skipping rope to lift
Now there's more to do
Than watch my sailboat glide
And everyday can be my magic carpet ride
And I can play hide and seek with my fears
And live my days instead of counting my years
Let everyone debate the true reality
I'd rather see the world the way it used to be
A little bit of freedom's all we're lack
So catch me if you can
I'm going back

This proud wild land where the wind blows free
Has always been a part of me
It's in my blood, I just can't get it out
For a hundred miles, a man can see
And be about as wild as he wants to be
If he feels like shoutin', all he's gotta do is shout
Where the purple mountains reach up high
And look like they're gonna touch the sky
Where the canyon walls have stood for a million years
Where the days are hot, the nights are cold
The desert sand looks just like gold
These trails were carved in sweat and blood and tears
Where the painted desert, as you pass by
Looks like a rainbow in the sky
The cactus blooms in the early morning sun
Where the night wings sing, the eagles fly
The clouds paint pictures in the sky
The coyote's howl tells you when the day is done
I'm comin' home, this time I'm gonna stay
I'm comin' home, and I ain't never GOING away
My feet are itchin' to get back home
I've had the desert fever since I've been gone
I need some lovin' so bad that I can't see
When a woman looks a man in the eye
You know it takes a man to satisfy
Thinking about them girls is killing me
I'm goin' home, goin' home
Goin' home, I'm goin' home
Goin' home, goin' home, I'm goin' home
Goin' home, goin' home

If it keeps on raining, levee's GOING to break
If it keeps on raining, the levee's GOING to break
When the levee breaks, we'll have no place to stay
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan, oh

It's got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home
Oh well, oh well, oh well
Ooh
Oh, don't it make you feel bad

You don't know which way to go

Crying won't help you, praying won't do you no good

It's just a silly phase I'm GOING through
And just because

Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love, no no, it's because
I like to see you
But then again
That doesn't mean you mean that much to me
So if I call you
Don't make a fuss
Don't tell your friends about the two of us
I'm not in love, no no, it's because
'Be quiet, big boys don't cry
Big boys don't cry
Big boys don't cry

Big boys don't cry
Big boys don't cry

I keep your picture
Upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain that's lying there
So don't you ask me
To give it back
I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me
I'm not in love, no no, it's because
Ooh you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh you'll wait a long time
Ooh you'll wait a long time for me

Are you going to Scarborough Fair:
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.
On the side of a hill in the deep forest green.
Tracing of sparrow on snow-crested brown.
Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain
Sleeps unaware of the clarion call.
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt:
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;
Without no seams nor needle work,
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
On the side of a hill in the sprinkling of leaves.
Washes the grave with silvery tears.
A soldier cleans and polishes a gun.
Sleeps unaware of the clarion call.
Tell her to find me an acre of land:
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;
Between the salt water and the sea strands,
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
War bellows blazing in scarlet battalions.
Generals order their soldiers to kill.
And to fight for a cause they have long ago forgotten.
Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather:
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;
And gather it all in a bunch of heather,
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
Are you going to Scarborough Fair:
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
Remember me to one who lives there.

In my mind, I'm gone to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine?
Can't you just feel the moonshine?
Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind
When I'm gone to Carolina in my mind?
Karen, she's a silver sun
You'd best walk her way and watch it shine
Watch her watch the morning come
A silver tear appearing now, well, I'm crying, ain't I?
I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
There ain't no doubt in no one's mind
That love's the finest thing around
Whisper something soft and kind
And hey, baby, the sky's on fire, I'm dying, ain't I?
I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
In my mind, I'm gone to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine?
Can't you just feel the moonshine?
Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind
When I'm gone to Carolina in my mind?
Dark and silent late last night
Think I might have heard the highway calling
Geese in flight and dogs that bite
And signs that might be omens say, "I'm Going, I’m Going”
I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
It's with a holy host of others standing 'round me
Still, I'm on the dark side of the moon
And it looks like it goes on like this forever
You must forgive me
If I'm up and gone to Carolina in my mind
In my mind, I'm gone to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine?
I said can't you just feel the moonshine?
And ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind
When I'm gone to Carolina in my mind?
When I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
Well, I'm already gone, I'm gone
Say nice things about me 'cause I'm gone, South, I'm gone
You got to carry on without me, I'm gone, I'm gone
I'm gone to Carolina in my mind, yeah
Yes, I'm gone to Carolina in my mind

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom,
Blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
Rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!
Nobody knows where you are, how near or how far.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Pile on many more layers and I'll be joining you there.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
And we'll bask in the shadow of yesterday's triumph,
And sail on the steel breeze.
Come on you boy child, you winner and loser,
Come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shine!

Working hard to make a living
Bringing shelter from the rain
A father's son left to carry on
Blue denim in his veins
Whoa-oh-oh, he's a working class man
Well, he's a STEEL town disciple
He's a legend of his kind
He's running like a cyclone
Across the wild mid-western sky
Oh-oh-oh, he's a working class man
He believes in God and Elvis
He gets out when he can
He did his time in Vietnam
Still mad at Uncle Sam
He's a simple man
With a heart of gold
In a complicated land
Oh, he's a working class man
Well, he loves a little woman
Someday he'll make his wife
Saving all the overtime
For the one love of his life
He ain't worried about tomorrow
Because he just made up his mind
Life's too short for burning bridges
I take it one day at a time
Oh-oh-oh, he's a working class man
Oh-oh-oh, he's a working class man
Oh, yeah
Yes, he is
Well, he's a working class man
Oh
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma
I tell you he's a working class man
Working class, working class man
Yes, he is
Working class, working class man
I've got to tell you he's a working class man
Working class, working class man, oh-oh
Working class, working class man
I tell you he's a working class man
Working class, working class man
Yes, he is
Working class, working class man

Bright light city gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire
Got a whole lot of money that's ready to burn
So get those stakes up higher
There's a thousand pretty women waiting out there
And they're all living the devil may care
And I'm just a devil with love to spare
So viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
How I wish that there were more
Than the 24 hours in the day
Even if there were 40 more
I wouldn't sleep a minute away
Oh, there's blackjack and poker and the roulette wheel
A fortune won and lost on every deal
All you need's a strong heart and a nerve of STEEL
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas with your neon flashing
And your one arm bandits crashing
All those hopes down the drain
Viva Las Vegas, turning day into nighttime
Turning night into daytime
Tell me, if you see it once
You'll never be the same again
I'm gonna keep on the run
I'm gonna have me some fun
If it costs me my very last dime
If I wind up broke, oh well, I'll always remember
That I had a swinging time
I'm gonna give it everything I've got
Lady luck, please let the dice stay hot
Let me shoot a seven with every shot
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
Viva, viva Las Vegas

Some people say a man is made out of mud
A poor man's made out of muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's weak and a back that's strong
You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said, "Well, a-bless my soul"
You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
I was born one morning, it was drizzling rain
Fighting and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the canebrake by an old mama lion
Can't no high-toned woman make me walk the line
You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
If you see me coming, better step aside
A lot of men didn't, a lot of men died
One fist of iron, the other of STEEL
If the right one don't get you, then the left one will
You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go

Guards all around me leading my way
But I've had it coming at the end of the line

Every day it seems we're wasting away
Another place where the faces are so cold
I'd drive all night just to get back home
I'm a cowboy
On a STEEL horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive
Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days
The people I meet always go their separate ways
Sometimes you tell the day by the bottle that you drink
And times when you're alone, well, all you do is think
I'm a cowboy
On a STEEL horse I ride
I'm wanted (Wanted) dead or alive
Wanted (Wanted) dead or alive
Oh, and I ride
Ooh, I'm a cowboy
On a STEEL horse I ride
I'm wanted (Wanted) dead or alive
But I walk these streets, a loaded six-string on my back
I play for keeps 'cause I might not make it back
I've been everywhere, (Oh yeah) still I'm standing tall
I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all
'Cause I'm a cowboy
On a STEEL horse, I ride
I'm wanted (Wanted) dead or alive
And I'm a cowboy
I got the night on my side
And I'm wanted (Wanted) dead or alive
And I ride (And I ride), dead or alive
I still drive (Still drive), dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive

Twenty five tons of hardened steel rolls on no ordinary wheel
Inside the armoured car ride two big armed guards
In a bullet-proof vest, shatterproof glass, overdrive, we're gonna pass
Twenty five tons of hardened steel rolls on no ordinary wheel
The hardest part of the armoured guard
Big man of steel behind the steering wheel
Nitro and acetylene open la machine
No short heist, no overnight, big money take you to Brazil
Bullet-proof vest, shatterproof glass, overdrive, we're gonna pass
Time bomb, greasy mob, count down, hurry up, come on
The hardest part of the armoured guard
Big man of steel behind the steering wheel
In a wire mesh cage with a twelve gauge. Radio - we're coming fast
Ooh, I need to feel some hardened steel, deliver the big money deal
Of the armoured guard here's what I heard
I'll tell you that he will no matter what you feel
The hardest part of the armoured guard
Big man of steel behind the steering wheel
Twenty five tons of hardened steel deliver the big money deal

Now I told you, so you ought to know
It takes some time for our feelings to grow
You're so close now, I can't let you go
And I can't let go
(With you I'm not shy) To show the way I feel
(With you I might try) My secrets to reveal
For you are a magnet, and I am STEEL
I can't hope that I'll hold you for long
You're a woman who's lost to your song
But the love that I feel is so strong
It can't be wrong
(With you I'm not shy) To show the way I feel
(With you I might try) My secrets to reveal
For you are a magnet, and I am STEEL
(With you I'm not shy) To show the way I feel
(With you I might try) My secrets to reveal
For you are a magnet, and I am STEEL
You are a magnet, and I am STEEL
You are a magnet, and I am STEEL
You are a magnet, and I am STEEL
I am STEEL...

[Verse 1]
Girl, you'll be a woman SOON
I love you so much, can't count all the ways
I've died for you girl and all they can say is
"He's not your kind"
They never get tired of putting me down
And I'll never know when I come around
What I'm gonna find
Don't let them make up your mind
Don't you know
[Chorus]
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please, come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon, you'll need a man
[Verse 2]
I've been misunderstood for all of my life
But what they're saying girl it cuts like a knife
"The boy's no good"
Well I've finally found what I've been looking for
But if they get their chance they'll end it for sure
Surely would
Baby, I've done all I could
Now it's up to you
[Chorus]
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please, come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon, you'll need a man
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please, come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon, you'll need a man

It's too SOON to know
If I can forget her
My heart's been broken in too many pieces
And It's too soon to know
Time passes slow
Will I ever know
If I can forget her and not let it show
But it's too soon to know
News travels fast when a love affair ends
People keep asking what happened to them
But it's too soon to know
If I can forget her
My heart's been broken in too many pieces
And It's too soon to know
My heart's been broken in too many pieces
And It's too soon to know
There's a fog upon L.A.,
And my friends have lost their way.
"We'll be over soon," they said.
Now they've lost themselves instead
Please don't be long
Please don't you be very long
Please don't be long for I may be asleep
Well, it only goes to show
And I told them where to go
Ask a policeman on the street
There's so many there to meet
Please don't be long
Please don't you be very long
Please don't be long for I may be asleep
Now it's past my bed I know
And I'd really like to go
Soon will be the break of day
Sitting here in Blue Jay Way
Please don't be long
Please don't you be very long
Please don't be long for I may be asleep
Please don't be long
Please don't you be very long
Please don't be long
Please don't be long
Please don't you be very long
Please don't be long
Please don't be long
Please don't you be very long
Please don't be long
Don't be long, don't be long, don't be long
Don't be long, don't be long, don't be long

Once I had a love and it was a gas
SOON turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Much o' mistrust, love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine
SOON found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing, but I was so blind
Much o' mistrust, love's gone behind
In between
What I find is pleasing, and I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing, there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you, it's just no good
You teasing like you do
Once I had a love and it was a gas
SOON turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Much o' mistrust, love's gone behind
Lost inside
Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside
We coulda made it cruising, yeah
Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light
Once I had a love and it was a gas
SOON turned out to be a pain in the ass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Much o' mistrust, love's gone behind
In between
What I find is pleasing, and I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing, there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you, it's just no good
You teasing like you do
Babe, I'm leaving, I must be on my way
The time is drawing near
My train is going, I see it in your eyes
The love beneath your tears
But I'll be lonely without you
And I'll need your love to see me through
So, please believe me, my heart is in your hand
And I'll be missing you
'Cause you know it's you, babe
Whenever I get weary, and I've had enough
Feel like giving up
You know it's you, babe
Giving me the courage and the strength I need
Please, believe that it's true
Babe, I love you
You know it's you, babe
Whenever I get weary, and I've had enough
Feel like giving up
You know it's you, babe
Giving me the courage and the strength I need
Please, believe that it's true
Babe, I love you
Babe, I'm leaving, I'll say it once again
And somehow try to smile
I know the feeling, we're trying to forget
If only for a while
'Cause I'll be lonely without you
And I'll need your love to see me through
Please, believe me, my heart is in your hands
'Cause I'll be missing you
Babe, I love you
Babe, I love you
Ooh-ooh-ooh, babe

Goodbye, so long
I hope someday somebody
Listens to your song
Those bright lights never ever

Maybe a change of scene
Will be the best for you
So long babe, so long babe
So long babe, so long babe

Go away from my window
Leave at your own chosen speed
I'm not the one you want, BABE
I'm not the one you need
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who's never weak but always strong
To protect you and defend you
Whether you are right or wrong
Someone to open each and every door
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe
Go lightly from the ledge, babe
Go lightly on the ground
I'm not the one you want, babe
I will only let you down
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who will promise never to part
Someone to close his eyes for you
Someone to close his heart
Someone who will die for you and more
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe
Go melt back in the night
Everything inside is made of stone
There's nothing in here moving
And anyway I'm not alone
You say you're looking for someone
Who'll pick you up each time you fall
To gather flowers constantly
And to come each time you call
A lover for your life and nothing more
But it ain't me, babe
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe
They say we're young and we don't know
We won't find out until we're grown
Well I don't know if all that's true
'Cause you got me, and baby I got you
BABE
I got you BABE
I got you BABE
They say our love won't pay the rent
Before it's earned,
Our money's all been spent
I guess that's so, we don't have a pot
But at least I'm sure
Of all the things we got
Babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got flowers in the spring
I got you to wear my ring
And when I'm sad, you're a clown
And if I get scared, you're always around
Don't let them say your hair's too long
'Cause I don't care,
With you I can't go wrong
Then put your little hand in mine
There ain't no hill or mountain
We can't climb
Babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you to hold my hand
I got you to understand
I got you to walk with me
I got you to talk with me
I got you to kiss goodnight
I got you to hold me tight
I got you, I won't let go
I got you to love me so
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
"Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You"
Babe, baby, baby, I'm gonna leave you

Leave you when the summer comes a-rolling
Leave you when the summer comes along

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
And when it's cold outside, I've got the month of May
I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl, I'm talkin' 'bout my girl
I've got so much honey, the bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees
I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl, I'm talkin' 'bout my girl
Hey, hey, hey

I don't need money, fortune or FAME

I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes‒
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I've come through
And I need to go on and on, and on, and on
We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the world
I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me FAME and fortune, and everything that goes with it
I thank you all
But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And I ain't gonna lose
And I need just go on and on, and on, and on
We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the world
We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end
We are the champions

FAME and fortune
How empty they can be
But when I hold you in my arms
That's heaven to me
Who cares for fame and fortune?
They're only passing things
But the touch of your lips on mine
Makes me feel like a king
Your kind of love
Is a treasure I hold
It's so much greater
Than silver or gold
I know that I have nothing
If you should go away, do do do dum
But to know that you love me
Brings fame and fortune my way, do do do
But to know that you love me
Brings fame and fortune my way

It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all that I've done
You won't believe me, all you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you
I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun
So I chose freedom, running around trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to
Don't cry for me, Argentina
The truth is, I never left you
All through my wild days, my mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance
And as for fortune, and as for FAME
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired
They are illusions, they're not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you, and hope you love me
Don't cry for me, Argentina
Don't cry for me, Argentina
The truth is, I never left you
All through my wild days, my mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance
Have I said too much?
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is true

Hank Williams, he came up from Montgomery
With a heart full of broken country songs
And Nashville Tennessee didn't really understand him
'Cause he did things differently than the way that they were done
When he finally made it to the Grand Ole Opry, he made it stand still
He ended up on alcohol and pills
Elvis Presley, he came up from Jackson
With a brand new way of singin', Lord, and a brand new way of dancin'
And even from the waist up, Lord, he gave the world a thrill
He ended up on alcohol and pills
Alcohol and pills, it's a cryin' shame
You think they might have been happy with the glory and the fame
But fame doesn't take away the pain, it just pays the bills
And you wind up on alcohol and pills
Janis Joplin, she was wild and reckless
And then there was Gram Parsons,
Lord, and then there was Jimmy Hendrix
The story just goes on and on and I guess it always will
They ended up on alcohol and pills
Alcohol and pills, its a cryin' shame
You think they might have been happy with the glory and the fame
But fame doesn't take away the pain, it just pays the bills
And you wind up on alcohol and pills
Sometimes, somebody just doesn't wake up one day
Sometimes, it's a heart attack, sometimes they just don't say
But they pulled poor old Hank
Williams out of a Cadillac Coupe de Ville
He ended up on alcohol and pills
Alcohol and pills, its a cryin' shame
You think they might have been happy with the glory and the fame
But fame doesn't take away the pain, it just pays the bills
And you wind up on alcohol and pills
And you wind up on alcohol and pills
