Love the One You're With by the Isley Brothers

If you're down and confused

And you don't remember who you're talking to

Concentration slips away

Because you're baby is so far away

Well, there's a rose in a fisted glove

And the eagle flies with the dove

And if you can't be with the one you love, honey

Love the one you're with

You got to love the one you're with

You got to love the one you're with

You got to love the one you're with

Don't be angry, don't be sad

Don't sit crying talking 'bout the good times you've had

Well, there's a girl sitting right next to you

And she's just waiting for something to do

Well, there's a rose in a fisted glove

And the eagle flies with the dove

And if you can't be with the one you love, honey

Love the one you're with

You got to love the one you're with

You got to love the one you're with

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Doo doo doo, doo doo doo

Lord, love the one you're with

You got to love the one you're with

You got to love the one you're with

Why don't you love

Turn your heartaches right into joy, now

She's a girl, yeah, and you're a boy

I want you to get it together and make it nice

Well, you ain't gonna need anymore advice

Hey, there's a rose in a fisted glove

And the eagle flies with the dove

Sometimes you can't be with the one you love, honey

Love the one you're with

You got to love the one you're with

You got to love the one you're with

You got to love the one you're with

You got to love the one you're with

You gotta love (love the one you're with)

You gotta love (love the one you're with)

Oh, love (love the one you're with)

You gotta love (love the one you're with)

Woah yeah (love the one you're with)

You gotta love, love the one you're with

(love the one you're with)

You gotta love (love the one you're with)

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Doo doo doo, doo doo doo

Take It Easy by Eagles

Well, I'm a-running down the road

Tryin' to loosen my load

I've got seven women on my mind

Four that wanna own me

Two that wanna stone me

One says she's a friend of mine

Take it easy, take it easy

Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy

Lighten up while you still can

Don't even try to understand

Just find a place to make your stand

And take it easy

Well, I'm a-standing on a corner

In Winslow, Arizona

Such a fine sight to see

It's a girl, my Lord

In a flat-bed Ford

Slowin' down to take a look at me

Come on, baby

Don't say "Maybe"

I gotta know

If your sweet love

Is gonna save me

We may lose and we may win

Though we will never be here again

So open up, I'm climbin' in

Take it easy, alright

Well, I'm running down the road

Trying to loosen my load

Got a world of trouble on my mind

Lookin' for a lover

Who won't blow my cover

She's so hard to find

Take it easy, take it easy

Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy

Come on, baby

Don't say "Maybe"

I gotta know

If your sweet love

Is gonna save me

Well, you know we got it easy

We oughta take it easy

Top of the World by the Carpenters

Such a feelin's comin' over me

There is wonder in most every thing I see

Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes

And I won't be surprised if it's a dream

Everything I want the world to be

Is now comin' true especially for me

And the reason is clear, it's because you are here

You're the nearest thing to Heaven that I've seen

I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation

And the only explanation I can find

Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around

Your love's put me at the top of the world

Somethin' in the wind has learned my name

And it's tellin' me that things are not the same

In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze

There's a pleasin' sense of happiness for me

There is only one wish on my mind

When this day is through I hope that I will find

That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me

All I need will be mine if you are here

I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation

And the only explanation I can find

Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around

Your love's put me at the top of the world

I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation

And the only explanation I can find

Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around

Your love's put me at the top of the world

Stuck in the Middle With You by Stealers Wheel

Well, I don't know why I came here tonight

I got the feeling that something ain't right

I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair

And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right

Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you

And I'm wondering what it is I should do

It's so hard to keep this smile from my face

Losing control, yeah, I'm all over the place

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right

Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

Well, you started off with nothing

And you're proud that you're a self-made man

And your friends they all come crawlin'

Slap you on the back and say, "Please, please"

Trying to make some sense of it all

But I can see it makes no sense at all

Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor?

Well, I don't think I can take anymore

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right

Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

Well, you started out with nothing

And you're proud that you're a self-made man

And your friends they all come crawlin'

Slap you on the back and say, "Please, please"

Yeah, I don't know why I came here tonight

I got the feeling that something ain't right

I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair

And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right

Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you

Stuck in the middle with you

Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

I Saw the Light by Todd Rundgren

It was late last night

I was feeling something wasn't right

There was not another soul in sight

Only you, only you

So we walked along

Though I knew that there was something wrong

And a feeling hit me, oh so strong

About you

Then you gazed up at me

And the answer was plain to see

'Cause I saw the light

In your eyes, in your eyes

Though we had our fling

I just never would suspect a thing

Till that little bell began to ring

In my head, in my head

But I tried to run

Though I knew it wouldn't help me none

'Cause I couldn't ever love no one

Or so I said

'Cause my feelings for you

Were just something I never knew

Till I saw the light

In your eyes, in your eyes

But I love you best

It's not something that I say in jest

'Cause you're different, girl, from all the rest

In my eyes

And I ran out before

But I won't do it anymore

Can't you see the light in my eyes

In my eyes

In my eyes

In my eyes

Always on my Mind by Elvis Presley

Maybe I didn't treat you

Quite as good as I should have

Maybe I didn't love you

Quite as often as I could have

Little things I should have said and done

I just never took the time

You were always on my mind

You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn't hold you

All those lonely, lonely times

And I guess I never told you

I'm so happy that you're mine

If I made you feel second best

Girl, I'm so sorry I was blind

You were always on my mind

You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died

Give me, give me one more chance

To keep you satisfied, satisfied

Little things I should have said and done

I just never took the time

You were always on my mind

You were always on my mind

You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn't treat you

Quite as good as I should have

Maybe I didn't love you

Quite as often as I could have

Maybe I didn't hold you

All those lonely, lonely times

And I guess I never told you

I'm so happy that you're mine

Maybe I didn't treat you

Quite as good as I should have

Hello, It's Me by Todd Rundgren

Hello, it's me

I've thought about us for a long, long time

Maybe I think too much but something's wrong

There's something here that doesn't last too long

Maybe I shouldn't think of you as mine

Seeing you

Or seeing anything as much as I do you

I take for granted that you're always there

I take for granted that you just don't care

Sometimes I can't help seeing all the way through

It's important to me

That you know you are free

'Cause I never want to make you change for me

Think of me

You know that I'd be with you if I could

I'll come around to see you once in a while

Or if I ever need a reason to smile

And spend the night if you think I should

It's important to me

That you know you are free

'Cause I never want to make you change for me

Think of me

You know that I'd be with you if I could

I'll come around to see you once in a while

Or if I ever need a reason to smile

And spend the night if you think I should

Think of me

Think of me

Think of me

Witchy Woman by Eagles

Love me some Eagles, they are my favorite band from that generation. I couldn't find a video on YouTube so here's one from Vimeo. I've found the other songs on here by them on YouTube so I'm not sure why this one can't be.

Raven hair and ruby lips

Sparks fly from her fingertips

Echoed voices in the night

She's a restless spirit on an endless flight

Woo hoo witchy woman,

See how high she flies

Woo hoo witchy woman

She got the moon in her eye

She held me spellbound in the night

Dancing shadows and firelight

Crazy laughter in another room

And she drove herself to madness with a silver spoon

Woo hoo witchy woman

See how high she flies

Woo hoo witchy woman

She got the moon in her eye

Well, I know you want a lover,

Let me tell you, brother,

She's been sleeping in the Devil's bed.

And there's some rumors going round

Someone's underground

She can rock you in the nighttime

'Til your skin turns red

Woo hoo witchy woman

See how high she flies

Woo hoo witchy woman

She got the moon in her eye

Peaceful Easy Feeling

Already Gone

After the Thrill is Gone

Life's Been Good

Peaceful Easy Feeling by Eagles

Love the Eagles, one of my favorite bands so you know I'm going to have a bunch of their songs on here. This is the 3rd song from the 3rd different album so far.

I like the way your sparkling earrings lay,

Against your skin, it's so brown.

And I wanna sleep with you in the desert tonight

With a billion stars all around.

'Cause I got a peaceful easy feeling,

And I know you won't let me down

'cause I'm already standing on the ground.

And I found out a long time ago

What a woman can do to your soul.

Oh, but she can't take you anyway,

You don't already know how to go.

And I got a peaceful easy feeling,

And I know you won't let me down

'cause I'm already standing on the ground.

I get this feeling I may know you as a lover and a friend.

But this voice keeps whispering in my other ear,

Tells me I may never see you again.

'cause I get a peaceful easy feeling

And I know you won't let me down

'cause I'm already standing...

I'm already standing...

Yes, I'm already standing on the ground

Oh, oh

Brandy (You're A Fine Girl) by Looking Glass

This song is becoming popular again after being in Guardians of the Galaxy. That's when I added it but not because I liked it then but because I remember it from growing up.

(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda)

There's a port on a western bay

And it serves a hundred ships a day

Lonely sailors pass the time away

And talk about their homes

And there's a girl in this harbor town

And she works layin' whiskey down

They say "Brandy, fetch another round"

She serves them whiskey and wine

The sailors say "Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)

"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)

"Yeah your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea"

(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)

Brandy wears a braided chain

Made of finest silver from the North of Spain

A locket that bears the name

Of the man that Brandy loves

He came on a summer's day

Bringin' gifts from far away

But he made it clear he couldn't stay

No harbor was his home

The sailor said "Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)

"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)

"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea"

(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)

Yeah, Brandy used to watch his eyes

When he told his sailor stories

She could feel the ocean fall and rise

When she saw his ragin' glory

But he had always told the truth, lord, he was an honest man

And Brandy does her best to understand

(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)

At night when the bars close down

Brandy walks through a silent town

And loves a man who's not around

She still can hear him say

She hears him say "Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)

"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)

"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea"

(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)

"Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)

"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)

"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea"

Rocket Man by Elton John

I knew this song was one of his earlier hits but I don't think I realized exactly how old. I probably would have guessed the late 70's, not 1972.

She packed my bags last night, pre-flight

Zero hour, nine AM

And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then

I miss the earth so much, I miss my wife

It's lonely out in space

On such a timeless flight

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time

Till touch down brings me 'round again to find

I'm not the man they think I am at home

Oh, no, no, no, I'm a rocket man

Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids

In fact, it's cold as Hell

And there's no one there to raise them if you did

And all this science I don't understand

It's just my job five days a week

A rocket man, a rocket man

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
