A Story Everybody Knows

Went to a party, the new york style
I met a lady, make a sane man wild
She said the words only her lips could say
She made me want to throw my life away
But when i asked her, she said, "maybe tomorrow, b.b."
And that's a story everybody knows
I took her flying, out across the sea
I thought i had her, i know that she had me
And when we landed, it was paris, france
Seemed like a nice place, for some french romance
But when i touched her, she said, "maybe a little later, b.b."
And that's the story everybody knows
We went to berlin, and to stockholm too
And on the moscow, then to the peking zoo
As far as travel, she couldn't get too much
Somewhere in oakland, she let me have just a little touch
And then she said, "i'm late for beauty appointment,
I've got a headache, and i believe i'm coming down with the flu"
And that's the story everybody knows

A Whole Lot Of Lovin'

I got a whole lot o' lovin', baby, just waiting for you
I got a whole lot o' loving, baby, just waitin' for you
And the way i can love you woman, honey, i know you can love me too
Well, you're so good lookin', baby, and your built up from the ground
Well, you're so good lookin', baby, and your built up from the ground
Ev'ry time i see you baby, my love starts tumblin' down
Yeah, you're just my height baby, just my height and size
Say, you just my type babe, you just my height and size
And the reason i love you, because you got them little dreamy eyes

A Woman Don't Care

You may be rich
You may be poor
You may be high
Or you just may be low
But if you fall in love
Oh, and you should lose
A woman don't care
She don't care who she gives the blues
Wo, you may be young
You may be old
Maybe you've heard
Or maybe you've never been told
If you've got a good woman
Oh, try not to misuse
Oh, a woman don't care
She don't care who she gives the blues
She'll make you hot in the winter
Make you cold in the summertime
She'll make you feel young in the spring
And in the fall drive you out of your mind
A woman, don't you hear me callin' you?
Yeah woman, you don't care
Yeah, you don't care who you give the blues
Oh, you may be up
You may be down
You may be short, tall, skinny
Or you just might be round
Oh, don't be too sure of your woman
Thinkin' man, that you can't lose
Oh, remember that a woman don't care
She don't care who she gives the blues

A World Full Of Strangers

You and me don't see eye to eye
On every little thing
We've missed a lot of sunshine
And caught a lot of rain
If you want to leave i can't make you stay
But there is something i have to say
No matter how high you get
Or how low you go
There's one thing darling
You ought to know
There's a world full of strangers out there
A world full of strangers
Beware
There's a world full of strangers out there
And if it gets too strange
Just come on home
Restless hearts, looking for a love
Are waiting in the street
They're all prepared to give you
The bitter with the sweet
If you wake someday and you reach for me
Well you know, this is where i'll be
No matter how high you get
Or how low you go
There's one thing darling
You ought to know
There's a world full of strangers out there
A world full of strangers
Beware
There's a world full of strangers out there
And if it gets too strange
Just come on home

A World I Never Made

The late show is over
And the city is fast asleep
And i'm lost in a world
That's just too cold and deep
I've turned so many ways
I'm spinning like a top
I wish that i could get off
Or get this world to stop
I'm a stranger and afraid
I'm a stranger and afraid
I'm a stranger and afraid
In a world i never made
I'm always chasing dragons
With a sword that's made of tin
So i know in my soul
There's no way i can win
I tried, oh i tried
But there's no place, no place to go
There's no one here who knows me
And no one here i know
I'm a stranger and afraid
I'm a stranger and afraid
I'm a stranger and afraid
In a world i never made

Actions Speak Louder Than Words

You won't listen to nothing i tell you, baby
You keep on doing just as you please
Hey, you won't do nothing i tell you, baby
Keep on doing as you please
I've taken as long as i can, baby
When is this foolishness gonna cease

I've worried myself crazy, baby
Cried both night and day
I said i've worried myself crazy, baby
Cried both night and day
You don't believe me, baby
But i'm gonna leave one of these days

Well, you told me that you love me
But actions speak louder than words
Oh, you said you love me, baby
But action speaks louder than words
I won't be fooled no longer, baby
That line everybody's heard

Well, if you're gonna change, baby
You better do it real soon
Hey, if you're gonna change
For the better, baby
You better do it real soon
Because you'll wake up one of these mornings
Find yourself in a empty room

Ain't Nobody Like My Baby

I'm in love with a real fine woman and she gives me everything
I said i'm in love with a real fine woman and she gives me everything
And it makes me feel so good, just to hear my baby call my name
My baby's sly way of loving, makes me feel so good i could sing
Hey my baby's sly way of loving, makes me feel so good i could sing
I feel just like i'm a millionaire, when i hear my baby call my name
Oh, there ain't nobody like my baby, that's the reason i love her so
Oh, ain't nobody, nobody like my baby, that's the reason i love her so
People, i would even die for her, i want the whole round world to know
When i'm down she'll picks me up, she says, "daddy, you can't lose"
Oh, when i'm down, when i'm down, she picks me up, tells me, "baby, you can't lose"
When all of my friends forget about me, my baby keeps away all these blues

Ain't Nobody's Bizness (Version 1)

If i attend church all day sunday, come back home and raise
(Spoken) i think i feel hurt or shall i go a little further, do a little more?
Ain't nobody's bizness what i do
If one day i have ham and bacon, and the next day, ain't nothin' shakin'
No it ain't nobody's bizness what i do

Ain't Nobody's Bizness (Version 2)

If me and my baby fuss and fight
Well, and the next minute we're all right
It ain't nobody's bizness what i do
If one day we have ham and bacon
And the next day ain't nothing shakin'
I tell you it ain't nobody's bizness what i do
Oh, i'm three, three times seven
Oh, that makes twenty-one
Ah, that ain't nobody's bizness what i do
Oh, if i attend church all day sunday
And cabaret all day monday
It ain't nobody's bizness what i do
If i stay out all night
Spending my money i tell you that's all right
Because it ain't nobody's bizness what i do
It ain't nobody's bizness what i do

Aint Nobody Here But Us Chickens

One night farmer brown was takin the air
Locked up the barnyard with the greatest of care
Down in the hen house something stirred
When he shouted, whos there?
This is what he heard
There aint nobody here but us chickens
There aint nobody here at all
So calm yourself and stop that fuss
There aint nobody here but us
We chickens tryin to sleep and you butt in
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble, with your chin
There aint nobody here but us chickens
There aint nobody here at all
Youre stompin around and shakin the ground
Kicking up an awful dust
We chickens tryin to sleep and you butt in
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble, its a sin

Tomorrow is a busy day
We got things to do, we got eggs to lay
We got ground to dig and worms to scratch
It takes a lot of sittin, gettin chicks to hatch
Oh, there aint nobody here but us chickens
There aint nobody here at all
So quiet yourself and stop that fuss
There aint nobody here but us
Kindly point the gun the other way
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble off and hit the hay

Tomorrow is a busy day
We got things to do, we got eggs to lay
We got ground to dig and worms to scratch
It takes a lot of sittin, gettin chicks to hatch
Oh, there aint nobody here but us chickens
There aint nobody here at all
So quiet yourself and stop that fuss
There aint nobody here but us
Kindly point the gun the other way
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble off and hit the hay

Hey, hey boss man, what do you say?
Its easy, pickins, there aint nobody here but us chickens
