I only want to be with you by Dustin Springfield
VERSE 1
I don't know what it is that makes me love you so
I only know I never want to let you go
'Cause you started something, can't you see
That ever since we met you've had a hold on me
It happens to be true, I only want to be with you
VERSE 2
It doesn't matter where you go or what you do
I want to spend each moment of the day with you
Look what has happened with just one kiss
I never knew that I could be in love like this
It's crazy but it's true, I only want to be with you
BREAK
You stopped and smiled at me
Asked me if I'd care to dance
I fell into your open arms
I didn't stand a chance
Now, listen, honey,
VERSE 3
I just want to be beside you everywhere
As long as we're together, honey, I don't care
'Cause you started something, can't you see
That ever since we met you've had a hold on me
No matter what you do, I only want to be with you
BREAK
VERSE 3
I should have known better by The Beatles
VERSE 1
I should have known better with a girl like you
That I would love everything that you do
And I do, hey, hey, hey, and I do
​
VERSE 2
Whoa, oh, I never realized what a kiss could be
This could only happen to me
Can't you see, can't you see
​
BREAK
That when I tell you that I love you, oh
You're gonna say you love me, too, oh
And when I ask you to be mine
You're gonna say you love me, too
​
VERSE 3
So oh, I should realized a lot of things before
If this is love you've got to give me more
Give me more, hey hey hey, give me more

I still haven't found by U2
VERSE 1
I have climbed highest mountains
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you, only to be with you
I have run, I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you
CHORUS
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
VERSE 2
I have kissed honey cheeks
Felt the healing in my fingertips
It burned like fire, higher and higher
I have spoken with the tongue of people
I have held the hand of evil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone
CHORUS
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
VERSE 1
CHORUS
It's a heartache by Bonnie Tyler
VERSE 1
It's a heartache, Nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it's too late, Hits you when you're down
VERSE 2
It's a fool's game, Nothing but a fools game
Standing in the cold rain, Feeling like a clown
VERSE 3
It's a heartache, Nothing but a heartache
Love him 'till your arms break, Then he lets you down
BREAK
It ain't right with love to share,
When you find he doesn't care for you
It ain't wise to need someone
As much as I depended on you
VERSE 1
VERSE 2

It's my life (Jon Bon Jovi)
VERSE 1
This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for faith-departed
And I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud
CHORUS
It's my life
It's now or never
But I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said, "I did it my way"
I just want to live while I'm alive
It's my life
VERSE 2:
Yeah, this is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina, who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder, make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky, got to make your own breaks
CHORUS
Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down
CHORUS
Johnny B. Goode (Chuck Berry)
VERSE 1
Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could play a guitar just like a-ringin' a bell
​
CHORUS
Go go,
Go Johnny go go (x4)
Johnny B. Goode
​
VERSE 2
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
Oh, the engineers would see him sitting in the shade
Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made
The people passing by they would stop and say
"Oh my what that little country boy could play"
VERSE 3
His mother told him "someday you will be a man
And you will be the leader of a big old band
Many people coming from miles around
To hear you play your music when the sun go down
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
Saying "Johnny B. Goode tonight"
​
CHORUS
Karma Chameleon (Culture Club)
VERSE 1
Desert loving in your eyes all the way
If I listen to your lies, would you say
I'm a man (girl) without conviction
I'm a man (girl) who doesn't know
How to sell a contradiction
You come and go, you come and go
CHORUS
Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon
You come and go, you come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams
Red, gold, and green, red, gold, and green
VERSE 2
Didn't hear your wicked words every day
And you used to be so sweet, I heard you say
That my love was an addiction
When we cling, our love is strong
When you go, you're gone forever
You string along, you string along
CHORUS
BREAK
Every day is like survival (survival)
You're my lover (my lover), not my rival
Every day is like survival (survival)
You're my lover (my lover), not my rival
I'm a man (girl) without conviction
I'm a man (girl) who doesn't know
How to sell a contradiction
You come and go, you come and go
CHORUS

Lemon Tree by Fool's Garden
VERSE 1
I'm sitting here in a boring room, It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time I got nothing to do, I'm hanging around I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens, And I wonder
VERSE 2
I'm driving around in my car, I'm driving too fast, I'm driving too far
I'd like to change my point of view, I feel so lonely, I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens, And I wonder
CHORUS
I wonder how, I wonder why, Yesterday you told me 'bout the Blue, blue sky
And all that I can see, Is just a yellow lemon tree
I'm turning my head up and down, I'm turning, turning, turning, turning
Turning around, And all that I can see, Is just another lemon tree
Sing dah, Dah-dah-dah-dam, dee-dab-dah
VERSE 3
I'm sitting here, I miss the power, I'd like to go out, taking a shower
But there's a heavy cloud inside my head, I feel so tired, put myself into bed
Well, nothing ever happens, And I wonder
BREAK
Isolation is not good for me, Isolation, I don't want to
Sit on a lemon tree
VERSE 4
I'm steppin' around in a desert of joy, Maybe anyhow I'll get another toy
And everything will happen, And you wonder
CHORUS
​
Let it be by The Beatles
VERSE 1
When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
CHORUS
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
VERSE 2
And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be
CHORUS
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
VERSE 3
And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me
Shinin' until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
CHORUS
And let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Livin' on a prayer by Jon Bon Jovi
VERSE 1
Tommy used to work on the docks, union's been on strike
He's down on his luck, it's tough, so tough
Gina works the diner all day, working for her man
She brings home her pay, for love, for love
PRECHORUS
She says, "We've gotta hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot for love
We'll give it a shot"
CHORUS
Whoa, we're half way there
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
VERSE 2
Tommy's got his six string in hock, now he's holding in
When he used to make it talk so tough, ooh, it's tough
Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night, Tommy whispers
"Baby, it's okay, someday"
PRECHORUS
We've gotta hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot for love
We'll give it a shot
CHORUS
