I WANNA DO IT WITH YOU
By
Barry Manilow
***************
Doesn’t matter where I go
Doesn’t matter who I know
Nowadays I always find
You are always on my mind
All I think about is love
Love is all I’m dreamin’ of
I lay around in a daze
Thinkin’ of all the ways
I wanna do it,do it with you
I wanna do it,do it with you
I wanna hold you all night long
Ooh baby,feel so strong
I wanna do it,do it with you
I wanna do it,do it with you
I want to love out my fantasies
Come on baby please
Say you will say I can
Say that I can be your man
You’ve been out had your flings
I’ve been waiting in the wings
I know my part I know my lines
I’ve rehearsed so many times
Let me turn the lights down low
And we can get on with the show
I wanna do it,do it with you
I wanna do it,do it with you
I wanna hold you all night long
Ooh baby,feel so strong
I wanna do it,do it with you
I wanna do it,do it with you
I want to love out my fantasies
Come on baby please
Oh honey,move on in my direction
Time for some serious affection
Oh,it’s gonna be such a fine thing
Talk about thunder and lightning
I wanna do it,do it with you
I wanna do it,do it with you
I wanna hold you all night long
Ooh baby,feel so strong
I wanna do it,do it with you
I wanna do it,do it with you
I want to love out my fantasies
Come on baby
FUGUE FOR TINHORNS
***************
I got the horse right here
His name is Paul Revier
And here’s a guy who says if the weather’s clear
Can do,can do
This guy says the horse can do
Can do ,can do
I’m picking valentine
Cause on the morning line
The guy has got him figured 5 to 9
Has a chance, has a chance
This guy say the horse has a chance
If he says the horse has a chance
Has a chance, has a chance
No way
For Paul Revier I’ll bite
I hear his foots alright
Of course it all depends
If it rained last night
I know it’s valentine
The morning word the find
Besides the jokey’s brother’s a friend of mind
Needs grace, needs grace
This guy says the horse needs grace
He says that the horse needs grace
Needs grace, needs grace
Hey wait a minute fellows
Have you consider this
Well anyway, it’s my turn to sing
So shut up
Oh really
But look at appetat
He wins it by a hair
According to this here in the telegraphy
Big threat, big threat
This guy calls the horse big threat
If he calls the horse big threat
Big threat, big threat
I tell you Paul Revier
Now this is no bum stear
It’s from my handy cap that is real sincere
I go from valentine
Cause on the morning line
The guy has got him figured 5 to 9
Has a chance, has a chance
The guy says the horse has a chance
Paul Revier
Valentine
Appatat
I got the horse right here
THE CHRISTMAS SONG
***************
Chestnuts roasting on a open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like eskimos
Everybody knows
A turkey and some misteltoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa’s on his way
He’s loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother’s child is going to spy
Too see if reindeer even know how to fly
And so I’m offering this simple phrase
To kids from 1 to 92
All though it’s been said many times
Many ways
Merry Christmas to you
And every mother’s child is going to spy
Too see if reindeer even know how to fly
And so I’m offering this simple phrase
To kids from 1 to 92
All though it’s been said many times
Many ways
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you
MOMENTS TO REMEMBER
***************
(January to December)
(We’ll have moments to remember)
The New Year’s Eve we did the town
The day we tore the goal post down
We will have these moments to remember
The quiet walks, the noisy fun
The ballroom prize we almost won
We will have these moments to remember
Though summer turns to winter
And the present disappears
The laughter we were glad to share
Will echo through the years
When other nights and other days
May find us gone our separate ways
We will have these moments to remember
(The drive in movie where we’d go)
(And somehow never watched the show)
We will have these moments to remember
Though summer turns to winter
And the present disappears
The laughter we were glad to share
Will echo through the years
When other nights and other days
May find us gone our separate ways
We will have these moments to remember
LOVE ME TENDER
***************
Love me tender,
Love me sweet,
Never let me go.
You have made my life complete,
And I love you so.
Love me tender,
Love me true,
All my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin’ I love you,
And I always will.
Love me tender,
Love me long,
Take me to your heart.
For it’s there that I belong,
And we’ll never part.
Love me tender,
Love me dear,
Tell me you are mine.
I’ll be yours through all the years,
Till the end of time.
(When at last my dreams come true
Darling this I know
Happiness will follow you
Everywhere you go).
SOMETIMES WHEN WE TOUCH
***************
You asked me if I loved you
And I choked on my reply
I rather hurt you honestly
Than miss lead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you
On what you say or do
I’m only just beginning
To see the real you
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty to much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I want to hold you ’til I die
’til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you ’til
The fear in me subsides
Romancing all his strategie
Leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity
Some tenderness survives
I’m just another writer
Still trapped within my truths
A hesatant prized fighter
Still trapped within my youth
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty to much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I want to hold you ’til I die
’til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you ’til
The fear in me subsides
At times I like to break you
And drag you to your knees
At times I like to break through
And hold you endlessly
At times I understand you
And I know how hard you’ve tried
I watched why love comands you
And I watched love pass you by
At times I think we’re drifters
Still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister
But then the passion flares again
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty to much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I want to hold you ’til I die
’til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you ’til
The fear in me subsides
