He makes your blue night seem a holiday He lies in such a fascinating way That's why a woman loves a heel You know that he's a phony more or less But when he meets a lady in distress He handles everything with such finesse That's why a woman loves a heel You'll meet a fellow who is on the square with you And you ignore him, have no time for him Or he will say, ?Let's go? and set your heart aglow You're a won completely by a no good, so and so He knows just how to get beneath your skin He holds the aces, you can't win He gets a lot of goodness out of scene That's why a woman loves a heel He knows just how to get beneath your skin He always holds the aces, you can't win He gets a lot of goodness out of scene That's why a woman loves a heel |

It isn't fair for you to taunt me
How can you make me care this way It isn't fair for you to want me If it's just for a day It isn't fair for you to thrill me Why do you do the things you do It isn't fair for you to fill me With those dreams that can't come true, Dear Why is it you came into my life And made it complete You gave me just a taste of high life If this is love then I repeat It isn't fair for you to taunt me How can you make me care this way It isn't fair for you to want me If it's just for today My Darling, it isn't fair |

Each time I hold somebody new
My arms go cold thinking of you No one can take your place, darling, in my embrace I'll never be free And when my lips burn with desire No other kiss can put out the fire Though I may try and try, no one can satisfy This longing in me (Chorus) I'll never be free from your smile so tender The sweet surrender in your eyes How can I be free when I still remember? How you could thrill me with a sigh Just like a chain bound to my heart Your love remains while we're apart Each kiss I gave to you Made me a slave to you I'll never be free (Chorus) That kiss I gave to you Made me a slave to you I'll never be free |

I've got bad news baby, and you're the first to know
Yes I've got bad news baby, and you're the first to know Well I discovered this morning that my wig is about to blow Well I've been rocking on my feet and I've been talking all out of my head Yes I've been rocking on my feet and I've been talking all out of my head And when I get through talking, I can't remember a thing I've said Now I used to be a sharpie All dressed in the latest styles But now I'm walking down Broadway Wearing nothing but a smile I see all kinds of little men Although they're never there I tried to push a subway train And poured whiskey in my hair I'm a gal who blew a fuse, I've got those blowtop blues Last night I was five feet tall, Today I'm eight feet ten Every time I fall downstairs, I float right up again When someone turned the lights on me it like to drove me blind I woke up this morning in Bellevue but I've left my mind behind I'm a gal you can't excuse, cause I've got those blowtop blues Well I got high last night, and I took my man to his wife's front door Yes I got juiced last night and I took my man to his wife's front door Oh but she was a 45-packin' mama, and I ain't goin' to try that no more! |

I remember other days how I used to weep
Over things you said to me; I couldn't even sleep You forgot your promises, every single vow All you did was laugh at me, but things are different now I cried for you; now it's your turn to cry over me Every road has a turning That's one thing you're learning I cried for you; what a fool I used to be Now I found two eyes just a little bit bluer I found a heart just a little bit truer I cried for you; now it's your turn to cry over me How can I forget the hours that I worried through Wondering the live long day just what next thing to do? In those days you never thought anything of me But the slave that was all yours and now at last is free I cried for you; now it's your turn to cry over me Every road has a turning That's one thing you're learning I cried for you; what a fool I used to be Now I found two eyes just a little bit bluer I found a heart just a little bit truer I cried for you; now it's your turn to cry over me |

I've got you under my skin
I've got you deep in the heart of me So deep in my heart You're really a part of me I've got you under my skin I tried so not to give in I said to myself this affair Never will go so well So why should I try to resist When baby I know so well That I've got you under my skin I'd sacrifice anything Come what might For the sake of having you near In spite of a warning voice That comes in the night And repeats and repeats in my ear Don't you know little fool You never can win Use your mentality Wake up to reality But each time that I do Just the thought of you Makes me stop before I begin 'Cause I've got you under my skin I'd sacrifice anything Come what might For the sake of having you near In spite of the warning voice That comes in the night And repeats how it yells, in my ear Don't you know little fool You never can win Why not use your mentality Wake up to reality Well each time that I do Just the thought of you Makes me stop before I begin 'Cause I've got you under my skin Yeah, I've got you under my skin |

I don't hurt anymore
All my teardrops are dried No more walkin' the floor With that burnin' inside Just to think it could be Time has opened the door And at last I am free I don't hurt anymore (Chorus) No use to deny I wanted to die The day you said we were thru But now that I find you're out of my mind I can't believe that it's true I've forgotten somehow That I cared so before And it's wonderful now I don't hurt anymore |

Did you see that I've got a lot to learn?
Well don't think I'm trying not to learn, Since this is the perfect spot to learn - Oooh, teach me tonight! Let's start with the ABC of it, Roll right down to the XYZ of it Help me solve the mystery of it, Teach me tonight! The sky's a blackboard high above you, If a shooting star goes by, I'll use that star, to write I love you, A thousand times across the sky. One thing isn't very clear my love, Should the teacher stand so near my love? Graduation's almost here my love, Come on and teach me tonight. I'll use that star to write I love you, A thousand times across the sky, One thing isn't very clear my love Should the teacher stand so near my love, Graduation's almost here my love, Teach me......please teach me tonight! |

Blue gardenia
now I'm alone with you and I am also blue. He has tossed us aside and like you, gardenia, once I was near his heart. After the tear drops start, where are tear drops to hide? I lived for an hour, what more can I tell? Love bloomed like a flower then the petals fell. Blue gardenia, thrown to a passing breeze, but pressed, yes, there pressed in my book of memories. I lived for an hour, what more can I tell? Love bloomed like a flower and then the petals fell. Blue gardenia, thrown to a passing breeze, but pressed in my book of memo-ries, but pressed in my book of memo-ries. |

They asked me how I knew
my true love was true, Oh I, of course, replied something here inside cannot be denied They said someday you’ll find all who love are blind, oh When your heart’s on fire you must realize Smoke gets in your eyes So I chaffed them and I gayly laughed To think they could doubt my love Yet today, my love has flown away I am without my love Now laughing friends deride tears I cannot hide of So I smile and say, When a lovely flame dies Smoke gets in your eyes Smoke gets in your eyes |

Ev'ry day seems like a year,
Sweetheart, when you are not near. All that you claim must be true, For I'm just the same as you; Sometimes I'm happy, sometimes I'm blue, My disposition depends on you. I never mind the rain from the skies, If I can find the sun in your eyes. Sometimes I love you, sometimes I hate you, But when I hate you, it's 'cause I love you. That's how I am so what can I do? I'm happy when I'm with you. Stars are smiling at me from your eyes. Sunbeams now there will be in the skies. Tell me that you will be true! That will all depend on you, Sometimes I'm happy, sometimes I'm blue, My disposition depends on you. I never mind the rain from the skies, If I can find the sun in your eyes. Sometimes I love you, sometimes I hate you, But when I hate you, it's 'cause I love you. That's how I am so what can I do? I'm happy when I'm with you. |

Don't even go to a movie show
If you're not by my side, I stay home by my radio, But I'm satisfied! All my flirtin' days are gone, On the level from now on! Don't go for any excitement now, Books are my best company. All my opinions have changed somehow, Old-fashioned as can be! When you really learn to care, There's a thrill in solitaire! Keepin' ou of mischief now, Really am in love, and how! I'm through playing with fire, It's you whom I desire! All the world can plainly see You're the only one for me! I've told them in advance They can't break up our romance! Living up to every vow, I'm keepin' out of mischief now! All the world can plainly see That you're the only one for me! Say I've told them, told them in advance That they can't break up our romance! Living up to every vow, I'm keepin', keepin' out of mischief now! |

When it rained five days
And the skies turned dark at night When it rained five days And the skies turned dark at night There was trouble takin' place In the lowland at night I woke up this mornin' Couldn't even get out of my door I woke up this mornin' Couldn't even get out of my door Enough trouble to make a poor woman Wonder where she's gonna go They rowed a little boat About five miles across the farm Said they rowed a little boat About five miles across the farm I packed up all of my clothes, trowed them in And they rowed me along Where it thundered and lightnin' And the wind began to blow Said it thundered and lightnin' And the wind began to blow There was thousands of people They had no place to go I went out and stood up On a high old lonesome hill I went out and stood up On a high old lonesome hill I looked down on the house Where I used to live Back water blues that calls me To pack my things and go Back water blues that calls me To pack my things and go Cause my house fell down And I can't live there no more Ooh, I can't live there no more Ooh, I can't live there no more There ain't no place for a poor woman to go |

Came tumblin' down, remember In September in the rain The sun went out Just like a dying ember That September in the rain To every word of love I heard you whisper The raindrops seemed to play A sweet refrain Though spring is here, To me it's still September That September in the rain To every word of love I heard you whisper The raindrops seemed to play A sweet refrain Though spring is here, To me it's still September That September in the rain That September in the rain |

Mad about the boy
I know it's stupid to be mad about the boy I'm so ashamed of it but must admit the sleepless nights I've had About the boyOn the silverscreen He melts my foolish heart in every single scene Although I'm quite aware that here and there are traces of the cad About the boyLord knows I'm not a fool girl I really shouldn't care Lord knows I'm not a school girl In the fury of her first affairWill it ever cloy This odd diversity of misery and joy I'm feeling quite insane and young again And all because I'm mad about the boySo if I could employ A little magic that will finally destroy This dream that pains me and enchains me But I can't because I'm mad... I'm mad about the boy |
