HE DOESN’T CARE (BUT I DO)
By
Barry Manilow
***************
So all alone
Little girl blue
You tell me the tale
And stand there crying
I’m here for you
You know that I care
Listening to you, inside I’m dying
Your heart may be breaking
But my heart is breaking too
He doesn’t care if you’re all alone
But I do
He doesn’t care if you come back home
But I do, yes I do
Why can’t you feel it too
I’m your best friend
A brother you say
Hurting me so
To see your sorrow
Knew all along
He’s not for you
Sadness and tears
But tomorrow
You’ll see how I need you
And maybe you’ll need me too
He doesn’t care if he breaks your heart
But I do
He doesn’t care if you fall apart
But I do, yes I do
Why can’t you feel it, too?
Oh, don’t throw your love away
On someone who doesn’t deserve it
If you belonged to me
I’d love you more each day
I’d take you
And make you believe what I say
He doesn’t care if he breaks your heart
But I do
He doesn’t care if you fall apart
But I do, yes I do
Why can’t you feel it
He doesn’t care if he breaks your heart
But I do
He doesn’t care if you fall apart
I’VE HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE
***************
Now I’ve had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it’s the truth
And I own it all to you
‘Cause I’ve had the time of my life
And I owe it all to you
I’ve been waiting for so long
Now I’ve finally found someone
To stand by me
We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical
Fantasy
Now with passion in our eyes
There’s no way we could disguise it
Secretly
So we take each other’s hand
‘Cause we seem to understand
The urgency just remember
You’re the one thing
I can’t get enough of
So I’ll tell you something
This could be love because
I’ve had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it’s the truth
And I owe it all to you
With my body and soul
I want you more than you’ll ever know
So we’ll just let it go
Don’t be afraid to lose control,no
Yes I know whats on your mind
When you say “Stay with me
Tonight.” Just remember
You’re the one thing
I can’t get enough of
So I’ll tell you something
This could be love because
‘Cause I had the time of my life
And I’ve searched through every open door
Till I’ve found the truth
And I owe it all to you
ISLANDS IN THE STREAM
***************
Baby, when I met you
There was peace unknown
I set out to get you
With a fine tooth comb
I was soft inside
There was something going on
You do something to me
That I can’t explain
Hold me closer and I feel no pain
Every beat of my heart
We got something going on
Tender love is blind
It requires a dedication
All this love we feel
Needs no conversation
We can ride it together, ah-ha
Making love with each other, ah-ha
Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in between
How can we be wrong
Sail away with me
To another world
And we rely on each other, ah-ha
From one lover to another, ah-ha
I can’t live without you
If the love was gone
Everything is nothing
If you got no one
And you did walk in the night
Slowly losing sight of the real thing
But that won’t happen to us
And we got no doubt
Too deep in love and we got no way out
And the message is clear
This could be the year for the real thing
No more will you cry
Baby, I will hurt you never
We start and end as one
In love forever
We can ride it together, ah-ha
Making love with each other, ah-ha
Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in between
How can we be wrong
Sail away with me
To another world
And we rely on each other, ah-ha
From one lover to another, ah-ha
Sail away
Ooooh, come sail away with me
Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in between
How can we be wrong
Sail away with me
To another world
And we rely on each other, ah-ha
From one lover to another, ah-ha
Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in between
How can we be wrong
Sail away with me
To another world
And we rely on each other, ah-ha
From one lover to another, ah-ha
STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT
***************
Strangers in the night exchanging glances
Wond’ring in the night
What were the chances we’d be sharing love
Before the night was through.
Something in your eyes was so inviting,
Something in you smile was so exciting,
Something in my heart,
Told me I must have you.
Strangers in the night, two lonely people
We were strangers in the night
Up to the moment
When we said our first hello.
Little did we know
Love was just a glance away,
A warm embracing dance away and
Ever since that night we’ve been together.
Lovers at first sight, in love forever.
It turned out so right,
For strangers in the night.
Love was just a glance away,
A warm embracing dance away and
Ever since that night we’ve been together.
Lovers at first sight, in love forever.
It turned out so right,
For strangers in the night.
For strangers in the night
For strangers in the night
DON’T GET AROUND MUCH ANYMORE
***************
Miss the saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
I couldn’t bare it without you
Don’t get around much anymore
Thought I visit the club
Got as far as the door
They have asked me about you
Don’t get around much anymore
Well darling I guess
My mind’s more at ease
But never the less
I stir up memories
Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for
Awfully different without you
Don’t get around much anymore
Well darling I guess
My mind’s more at ease
But never, never the less
A baby why stir up memories
I miss the dance again
Might have gone but what for
Awfully different without you
Don’t get around much anymore
HERE COMES THE NIGHT
***************
The day is ending
And the same old pain begins
Each deeper shade of blue
Brings back more of you to miss
I fight the tears again
But I just can’t win and…
Here comes the night
And here I go out of my mind again
Here comes the night
And here I go crazy missin’ you
Wanting you
Needing you
I just can’t stand it
Here comes the night again
I still remember
You lyin’ next to me
The love would go so deep
We wouldn’t get to sleep at all
These nights I’m losing sleep
To a lonely memory
Here comes the night
And here I go out of my mind again
Here comes the night
And here I go crazy missin’ you
Wanting you
Needing you
I just can’t stand it
Here comes the night again
Will it never end
Why can’t I get forever
Here comes the night
And here I go out of my mind again
Here comes the night
And here I go crazy missin’ you
Wanting you
Needing you
I just can’t stand it
Here comes the night again
