If I Can't Have You by Yvonne Elliman


I thought this was a Bee Gees song and I was sort of right. She originally sang it but it was written by the Gibbs (Bee Gees) for the movie "Stayin' Alive."



Don't know why I'm surviving every lonely day
When there's got to be no chance for me
My life would end and it doesn't matter how I cry
My tears of love are a waste of time if I turn away
Am I strong enough to see it through?
Go crazy is what I will do

If I can't have you, I don't want nobody, baby
If I can't have you, ah hah hah, oh
If I can't have you, I don't want nobody, baby
If I can't have you, ah hah hah, oh

Can't let go, and it doesn't matter how I try
I gave it all so easily, to you my love
To dreams that never will come true
Am I strong enough to see it through?
Go crazy is what I will do

If I can't have you, I don't want nobody, baby
If I can't have you, ah hah hah, oh
If I can't have you, I don't want nobody, baby
If I can't have you, ah hah hah, oh

Oh, if I can't have you, I don't want nobody, baby
If I can't have you, ah hah hah, oh (no, nobody)
If I can't have you, I don't want nobody, baby
If I can't have you, ah hah hah, oh (I don't want nobody)

If I can't have you, I don't want nobody, baby
If I can't have you, ah hah hah, oh (nobody)
If I can't have you, I don't want nobody, baby
If I can't have you, ah hah hah, oh
If I can't have you

Just Breathe by Pearl Jam


This is the first song on here by Pearl Jam, you'll definitely hear them here again. I'm not sure that this is my favorite of theirs but it's up there.



Yes, I understand that every life must end, uh-huh
As we sit alone, I know someday we must go, uh-huh
Oh I'm a lucky man, to count on both hands the ones I love
Some folks just have one, yeah, others, they've got none

Stay with me...
Let's just breathe...

Practiced are my sins, never gonna let me win, uh-huh
Under everything, just another human being, uh-huh
I don't wanna hurt, there's so much in this world to make me bleed

Stay with me
You're all I see...

Did I say that I need you?
Did I say that I want you?
Oh, if I didn't I'm a fool you see
No one knows this more than me

As I come clean...
I wonder everyday, as I look upon your face, uh-huh
Everything you gave
And nothing you would take, oh no

Nothing you would take
Everything you gave...

Did I say that I need you?
Oh, did I say that I want you?
Oh, if I didn't I'm a fool you see
No one knows this more than me
And I come clean, ah...

Nothing you would take
Everything you gave
Hold me 'til I die
Meet you on the other side...

Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton


This is the 1st song by Clapton and you'll definitely see more of him on here. This is a great ballad from his earlier years, if you can call his 5th album, earlier.



It's late in the evening; she's wondering what clothes to wear
She puts on her make-up and brushes her long blonde hair
And then she asks me, "Do I look all right?"
And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight"

We go to a party and everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady that's walking around with me
And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?"
And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight"

I feel wonderful because I see
The love light in your eyes

And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize how much I love you 
It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head
So I give her the car keys and she helps me to bed

And then I tell her, as I turn out the light
I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight"

I Love Rock N Roll by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts


Joan Jett doesn't actually have this song on Spotify, or this album for that matter so I have a cover version that sounds pretty close to hers. I don't have the original by the Arrows because this is the one that I knew growing up and is most familiar with.



I saw him dancing there by the record machine
I knew he must have been about seventeen
The beat was going strong
Playing my favorite song
And I could tell it wouldn't be long till he was with me, yeah me
And I could tell it wouldn't be long till he was with me, yeah me

Singing, I love rock and roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock and roll
So come and take your time and dance with me
Ow!

He smiled, so I got up and asked for his name
But that don't matter, he said, 'cause it's all the same
He said, "Can I take you home 
Where we can be alone?"
And next we were moving on, he was with me, yeah me
Next we were moving on, he was with me, yeah me

Singing, I love rock and roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock and roll
So come and take your time and dance with me
Ow!

He said, "Can I take you home 
Where we can be alone?"
Next we're moving on, he was with me, yeah me
And we'll be moving on and singing that same old song, yeah with me

Singing I love rock and roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock and roll
So come and take your time and dance with me

I love rock and roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock and roll
So come and take your time and dance with

I love rock and roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock and roll
So come and take your time and dance with

I love rock and roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock and roll
So come and take your time and dance with

I love rock and roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock and roll
So come and take your time and dance with me

Let Me Hear You Scream by Ozzy Osbourne


This is probably the newest song I have by Ozzy Osbourne, I don't really remember him coming out with anything fairly recent but that doesn't mean he hasn't.



Let me hear you scream!

I'm black and bruised, beat up, but still I take the blows
'Cause all I need is blood and sweat and skin and bones!

I'll take this rage,
Rattle your cage,
Nobody said it's easy!
It's do or die,
Only the strong survive!

Get ready for the last stand!
Get ready, I'm your hangman!

Let me hear you scream like you want it!
Let me hear you yell like you mean it!
If you're gonna go down:
Go loud!
Go strong!
Go proud!
Go on!
Go hard or go home!
Let me hear you-
(Let me hear you-)
Let me hear you-
(Let me hear you-)
Let me hear you scream!

I'll pull you up and push you right back in your place!
I'll take you down and wipe that smile right off your face!

I'll watch you break,
Your mine to take,
Don't blink; you just might miss it!
It's all or nothing,
Nowhere left to run!

Are you ready for the last fight!
Get ready with the war cry!

Let me hear you scream like you want it!
Let me hear you yell like you mean it!
If you're gonna go down:
Go loud!
Go strong!
Go proud!
Go on!
Go hard or go home!
Let me hear you-
(Let me hear you-)
Let me hear you-
(Let me hear you-)
Let me hear you scream!

Let me hear you scream like you want it!
Let me hear you yell like you mean it!
If you're gonna go down:
Go loud!
Go strong!
Go proud!
Go on!
Go hard or go home!

Let me hear you scream like you want it!
Let me hear you yell like you mean it!
If you're gonna go down:
Go loud!
Go strong!
Go proud!
Go on!
Go hard or go home!
Let me hear you-
(Let me hear you-)
Let me hear you-
(Let me hear you-)
Let me hear you scream!

Beyond Me by TobyMac


The only reason I have listened to his albums is because I was a big DC Talk fan back in the day. I have added some of his songs on here.



Call it a reason to retreat
I got some dreams that are bigger than me
I might be outmatched, outsized, the underdog in the fight of my life
Is it so crazy to believe

That You gave me the stars, put them out of my reach
Called me to waters a little too deep
Oh, I've never been so aware of my need
You keep on making me see
It's way beyond me
It's way beyond me
Yeah, it's out of my league
It's way beyond me
It's way beyond me
It's way beyond

Anything that I got the strength to do
In over my head keeps me countin' on You
I'm leaving the sweet spot, sure shot
Tradin' it all for the plans You got
Is it so crazy to believe

That You gave me the stars, put them out of my reach
Called me to waters a little too deep
Oh, I've never been so aware of my need
Yeah, you keep on making me see
It's way beyond me
It's way beyond me
Yeah, it's out of my league
It's way beyond me
It's way beyond me

You take me to the place where I know I need You
Straight to the depths that I can't handle on my own
And Lord I know, I know I need You
So take me to Your great
Take me to Your great unknown

It's way beyond me, w-way beyond me
It-it's way beyond me, w-w-way beyond me

Yeah, You gave me the stars, put them out of my reach
Called me to waters a little too deep
Oh, I've never been so aware of my need
Yeah, you keep on making me see
It's way beyond me (it's way beyond me)
It's way beyond me (it's way beyond me)
Yeah, it's out of my league (it's way beyond me)
It's way beyond me (it's way beyond me)
It's way beyond me (it's way beyond me)
It's way beyond me

You take me to the place where I know I need You
Straight to the depths that I can't handle on my own (it's way beyond me)
You take me to the place where I know I need You
Oh take me to Your place
Take me to Your great unknown

Hell Yeah by Rev Theory



I don't much about this group so to be honest, I don't know if I have any more of their songs on here but I know I like this one. I'm pretty sure I first heard it on the radio (back when I used to listen to it.)



Can you feel that?
You better hold on
This one's about to get bumpy
Hahahahahahaha...

She's a ten, hellbent, I'm in heaven tonight
Six speed sex scene playin' out in my mind
One look, I'm hooked, motor runnin'
Rev'd up, my heart startin' pumpin'
Are you ready for the best damn ride of your life?

Gimme a "hell"
Gimme a "yeah"
Stand up right now
And gimme a "hell"
Gimme a "yeah"
Stand up right now
Get ready to go
She ain't movin' slow
She's takin' control
Pushin' the pedal to the floor
I'm beggin' for more
You better hold on tight

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey

Got a taste, can't be saved, I'm a junkie for life
She fuels my fire and adrenaline high
My need for speed's got me gunnin'
One touch, she screams "keep it comin'"
Are you ready for the best damn ride of your life?

Gimme a "hell"
Gimme a "yeah"
Stand up right now
And gimme a "hell"
Gimme a "yeah"
Stand up right now
Get ready to go
She ain't movin' slow
She's takin' control
Pushin' the pedal to the floor
I'm beggin' for more
You better hold on tight

Hahahahahahaha...
Almost home
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey (come on)
Hey, hey, hey, hey (yeahhh)

Gimme a "hell"
Gimme a "yeah" (hell yeah)
Stand up right now
And gimme a "hell"
Gimme a "yeah"
Stand up right now (right now)
Gimme a "hell"
Gimme a "yeah" (yeah)
Stand up right now
And gimme a "hell" (hell)
Gimme a "yeah" (yeah)
Stand up right now (right now)
Get ready to go
She ain't movin' slow
She's takin' control
And pushin' the pedal to the floor
I'm beggin' for more
You better hold on tight

Gimme a "hell"
Gimme a "yeah"
And gimme a "hell"
Gimme a "yeah"
Hell

Hey, hey, hey, hey [x4]

Winds of Change by Russ Taff


Love this album as I do most of his from back in the day. I had them all through the mid 90's.



Well, I've seen my chances come and go
And come back round again
But everytime they took me by surprise
There was a day I used to want
The things I did not have
But it's never better on the other side.
Well, I've never gone so far that I've
Forgotten my way home
The best things always bring you back again
Over and over

(chorus)
The Hands of Time
Go Round and Round
They don't slow down when you lose your way
At evry turn
The things you learn
You wear them proud like you wear your name
And as you go
On Down that road
Don't let the dust get in your eyes
It blows in the winds of change.

Hunger is no stranger
I've sat with him before
And everything I've done has not been good
As I've tried to make my stand
I've had to learn to fall
And maybe I've seen more than I should
But I've never gone so far that I've
Forgotten my way home
The best things always bring you back again
Over and over

(chorus)

And I held on to my life
And I kept my dream alive
And the dream ain't over
Over and over

(chorus)

A Holly Jolly Christmas by Burl Ives


A Christmas classic. If you don't know this song then I'm guessing you just don't listen to Christmas music. It's a little early for Christmas music but here, we listen to it all year long.



Have a holly jolly Christmas
It's the best time of the year
I don't know if there'll be snow
But have a cup of cheer

Have a holly jolly Christmas
And when you walk down the street
Say hello to friends you know
And everyone you meet

Oh, the mistletoe hung where you can see
Somebody waits for you, kiss her once for me

Have a holly jolly Christmas
And in case you didn't here,
Oh, by golly have a holly jolly Christmas this year!

Have a holly jolly Christmas
It's the best time of the year

Have a holly jolly Christmas
And when you walk down the street,
Say hello to friends you know
And everyone you meet.

Oh, the mistletoe hung where you can see
Somebody waits for you, kiss her once for me!

Have a holly jolly Christmas
And in case you didn't here,
Oh, by golly have a holly jolly Christmas this year!

Please Remember Me by Tim McGraw


Such a good song. I do have a bunch of songs on here of his. I just noticed he has a new album along with his wife so I may be adding more in the near future, or rather, when I get around to listening to it.



When all our tears have reached the sea
Part of you will live in me
Way down deep inside my heart
The days keep coming without fail
A new wind is gonna find your sail
That's where your journey starts

You'll find better love
Strong as it ever was
Deep as the river runs
Warm as the morning sun
Please remember me

Just like the waves down by the shore
We're gonna keep on coming back for more
'Cause we don't ever wanna stop
Out in this brave new world you seek
Oh the valleys and the peaks
And I can see you on the top

You'll find better love
Strong as it ever was
Deep as the river runs
Warm as the morning sun
Please remember me

Remember me when you're out walkin'
When the snow falls high outside your door
Late at night when you're not sleepin'
And moonlight falls across your floor
When I can't hurt you anymore

You'll find better love
Strong as it ever was
Deep as the river runs
Warm as the morning sun
Please remember me
Please remember me

Girl Crush by Little Big Town


I liked this song the first time I heard it. I love how slow it comes out, if they would have sped it up it wouldn't be nearly as good.



I gotta girl crush, hate to admit it but
I gotta heart rush, ain’t slowin’ down
I got it real bad, want everything she has
That smile and that midnight laugh she’s giving you now

I wanna taste her lips, yeah, ‘cause they taste like you
I wanna drown myself in a bottle of her perfume
I want her long blonde hair, I want her magic touch
Yeah, ‘cause maybe then you’d want me just as much
I gotta girl crush, I gotta girl crush

I don’t get no sleep, I don’t get no peace
Thinkin’ about her under your bed sheets
The way that she’s whisperin’, the way that she’s pullin’ you in
Lord knows I’ve tried, I can’t get her off my mind

I wanna taste her lips, yeah, ‘cause they taste like you
I wanna drown myself in a bottle of her perfume
I want her long blonde hair, I want her magic touch
Yeah, ‘cause maybe then you’d want me just as much
I gotta girl crush

I gotta girl crush, hate to admit it but
I gotta heart rush, it ain’t slowin’ down

No Scrubs by TLC


I wasn't a huge fan of TLC but I did like a few of their songs. This one actually came to me late in life, probably in the last 10 years or so but I knew who they were years ago when they were big.



A scrub is a guy that thinks he's fly
And is also known as a buster
Always talkin' about what he wants
And just sits on his broke ass
So, no

I don't want your number, no.
I don't want to give you mine and, no,
I don't want to meet you nowhere, no.
I don't want none of your time and, no,

[Chorus:]
I don't want no scrub
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hanging out the passenger side
Of his best friend's ride
Trying to holler at me
I don't want no scrub
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hanging out the passenger side
Of his best friend's ride
Trying to holler at me

But a scrub is checkin' me
But his game is kinda weak
And I know that he cannot approach me
'Cause I'm lookin' like class and he's lookin' like trash
Can't get with a dead-beat ass
So, no

I don't want your number, no.
I don't want to give you mine and, no,
I don't want to meet you nowhere, no.
I don't want none of your time, no.

[Chorus]

If you don't have a car and you're walking
Oh yes, son, I'm talking to you
If you live at home with your mamma
Oh yes, son, I'm talking to you, baby
If you have a shorty but you don't show love
Oh yes, son, I'm talking to you
Wanna get with me with no money
Oh no, I don't want, no, oh

No scrub
No scrub, no, no
No scrub, no, no, no, no, no
No scrub, no, no
No

[Chorus 4x]

I Just Can't Stop Loving You by Michael Jackson


This is the 2nd song from this album on here and I know there will be more. Also, a ton more of his songs off other albums. I do like these ballads (if you can call it that) by him.



I Just Want To Lay Next To You For Awhile
You Look So Beautiful Tonight
Your Eyes Are So Lovely
Your Mouth Is So Sweet
A Lot Of People Misunderstand Me
That's Because They Don't
Know Me At All
I Just Want To Touch You
And Hold You, I Need You
God I Need You
I Love You So Much

Each Time The Wind Blows
I Hear Your Voice So
I Call Your Name . . .
Whispers At Morning
Our Love Is Dawning
Heaven's Glad You Came . . .

You Know How I Feel
This Thing Can't Go Wrong
I'm So Proud To Say
I Love You
Your Love's Got Me High
I Long To Get By
This Time Is Forever
Love Is The Answer

I Hear Your Voice Now
You Are My Choice Now
The Love You Bring
Heaven's In My Heart
At Your Call
I Hear Harps,
And Angels Sing

You Know How I Feel
This Thing Can't Go Wrong
I Can't Live My Life
Without You

I Just Can't Hold On
I Feel We Belong
My Life Ain't Worth Living
If I Can't Be With You

I Just Can't Stop Loving You
I Just Can't Stop Loving You
And If I Stop . . .
Then Tell Me Just What Will I Do

'Cause I Just Can't Stop
Loving You

At Night When The Stars Shine
I Pray In You I'll Find
A Love So True . . .

When Morning Awakes Me
Will You Come And Take Me
I'll Wait For You

You Know How I Feel
I Won't Stop Until
I Hear Your Voice Saying "I Do"

"I Do"
This Thing Can't Go Wrong
This Feeling's So Strong
Well, My Life Ain't
Worth Living

If I Can't Be With You
I Just Can't Stop Loving You
I Just Can't Stop Loving You
And If I Stop . . .
Then Tell Me, Just What Will I Do

I Just Can't Stop Loving You
We Can Change All The World Tomorrow

We Can Sing Songs Of Yesterday
I Can Say, Hey . . .Farewell To Sorrow

This Is My Life And I,
Want To See You For Always
I Just Can't Stop Loving You
No, Baby
Oh!

I Just Can't Stop Loving You
If I Can't Stop!
And If I Stop . . .
No
Oh! Oh! Oh . . .Oh . . .

What Will I Do? Uh . . .Ooh . . .
(Then Tell Me, Just What Will I Do)
I Just Can't Stop Loving You

Hee! Hee! Hee! Know I Do Girl!
I Just Can't Stop Loving You
You Know I Do
And If I Stop . . .
Then Tell Me, Just What
Will I Do 

I Just Can't Stop Loving You
