Treat her gently, treat her kind, she doesn't even know her own mind
Treat her simply, take it slow, make it easy and let her know
You'll never find another way.
Here we sit, two lonely old people,
Eaking our lives away
Bit by bit two lonely old people
Keeping the time of day
Here we sit out of breath and nobody asked us to play
- Old People's Home for the day - nobody asked us to play
Treat her gently, treat her kind, she doesn't even know her own mind
Treat her simply, make it slow, take it easy and let her know
You'll never find another way

Make the world go away
And get if off my shoulder
Say the things you used to say
And make the world go away.

Do you remember when you loved me?
Before the world took me away
If you do then forgive me
And make the world go away.

Make the world go away
And get it off my shoulder
Say the things you used to say
And make the world go away.

I'm sorry if I hurt you
I'll make it up day by day
Just tell me that you love me
And make the world go away.

Make the world go away
And get if off my shoulder
Say the things you used to say
And make the world go away.

Say the things you used to say
And make the world go away...

I realized the way your eyes deceived me
with tender looks that I mistook for love
So take away the flowers that you gave me
And send the kind that you remind me of
Paper Roses
Paper Roses
Oh how real those roses seem to be
But they're only imitation,
Like your imitation love for me

I thought that you would be a perfect lover
You seemed so full of sweetness at the start
But like a big red rose that's made of paper
There isn't any sweetness in your heart
Paper Roses
Paper Roses
Oh how real those roses seem to be
But they're only imitation like your imitation love for me

It must have broke your poor little heart
When the boys used to say,
You looked better in the dark.
Ohhh but now they'd give all they learned in school
To be somewhere in the dark with you
Oh yes they would

You know the teacher would ask a question
And you, would always raise your hand
Ohhh but somehow you never got your turn
And my eyes would fill with water, inside I'd burn
Oh yes I did
(Chorus)
Homely girl, She was so homely
You're a beautiful woman oh yes homely girl
Homely girl, used to being lonely
You're a beautiful woman oh yeah

There was a boy who used to sit beside you
Who'd like to hold that place his whole life through
Ohhh you were beautiful to me
You had a heart no one could ever see,
oh yes you did

I was the only one who offered
To carry your books
Took all the stares and laughter
With the dirty looks
But I saw then what they see now
They all want to ask you for a date
They don't know how, they don't know how

Homely girl, she was so homely
You're a beautiful woman oh yes lonely girl
Homely girl used to being lonely
You're a beautiful woman oh yeah

Ohhh first they want a chance to hold you
Then they want a chance to try to control you
Oh no, now don't you know I got to say it
Homely Girl used to being Lonely…..

that's me Ann...homely girl! lol

xx

Me too Rose x

lol Ann...if we keep putting lyrics up like this we will get talked about! xx

Andante, Andante Abba


Take it easy with me, please
Touch me gently like a summer evening breeze
Take your time, make it slow
Andante, andante
Just let the feeling grow

Make your fingers soft and light
Let your body be the velvet of the night
Touch my soul, you know how
Andante, andante
Go slowly with me now

I’m your music
(I am your music and I am your song)
I’m your song
(I am your music and I am your song)
Play me time and time again and make me strong
(play me again ’cause you’re making me strong)
Make me sing, make me sound
(you make me sing and you make me)
Andante, andante
Tread lightly on my ground
Andante, andante
Oh please don’t let me down

There’s a shimmer in your eyes
Like the feeling of a thousand butterflies
Please don’t talk, go on, play
Andante, andante
And let me float away

I’m your music
(I am your music and I am your song)
I’m your song
(I am your music and I am your song)
Play me time and time again and make me strong
(play me again ’cause you’re making me strong)
Make me sing, make me sound
(you make me sing and you make me)
Andante, andante
Tread lightly on my ground
Andante, andante
Oh please don’t let me down

Make me sing, make me sound
(you make me sing and you make me)
Andante, andante
Tread lightly on my ground
Andante, andante
Oh please don’t let me down
Andante, andante
Oh please don’t let me down

Lol Rose, just looking through old play lists x


How can I think I'm standing strong,
Yet feel the air beneath my feet?
How can happiness feel so wrong?
How can misery feel so sweet?
How can you let me watch you sleep,
Then break my dreams the way you do?
How can I have got in so deep?
Why did I fall in love with you?

[CHORUS:]
This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen,
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known,
I was never crazy on my own...
And now I know that there's a link between the two,
Being close to craziness and being close to you.

How can you make me fall apart
Then break my fall with loving lies?
It's so easy to break a heart;
It's so easy to close your eyes.
How can you treat me like a child
Yet like a child I yearn for you?
How can anyone feel so wild?
How can anyone feel so blue?

Blimey ... you pair are very vocal this evening ...

Is there love in the air? lol

KATIE MELUA LYRICS

"My Aphrodisiac Is You"

Some people say
That oysters make you come on strong,
But I don't buy it,
I don't believe my diet turns me on.
Won't take no pills,
That's the last thing that I need to do,
I can't deny it,
My aphrodisiac is you.

Alright, I could sniff some powdered rhino horn,
And go to bed in rubber gloves.
But I don't need no stimulation,
Potions, balms or embrocation,
I'm in love,
In other words...

Don't smoke no grass,
Or opium from old Hong Kong,
That hubble-bubble
Just makes me see you double
All night long.
Don't waste my time
With Spanish fly and roots to chew,
They cause me trouble,
Because my aphrodisiac is you.

Alright, I could sniff some powdered rhino horn,
And go to bed in rubber gloves.
But I don't need no stimulation,
Potions, balms or embrocation,
I'm in love,
In other words...

Some people like
To read the khama sutra first,
But I don't need it
I think if I should read it
I'd be worse;
Don't ask me why,
Because baby, I ain't got a clue.
I just concede it,
My aphrodisiac Is you

and why not Ann .. most of us like a good sing song now and again.

Hope you are both well?

Rio

Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that she's half crazy
But that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.
And Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said "All men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them"
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
And you want to travel with him
And you want to travel blind
And you think maybe you'll trust him
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind.
Now Suzanne takes your hand
And she leads you to the river
She is wearing rags and feathers
From Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbour
And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that you can trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind.

been reading his life story, very colourful and interesting., i can see now where some of the songs are coming from
