Games

I know you're a ganster, but I'm the queen of spades
A ruler of hearts I shoot the moon
I take my tricks right from the start
I'm a sucker for love, the joker's running wild
My heart it can break ohh it can break
Frail as a child

Whatever it is it is, Whatever will be it's gonna be
Whoever you are you are
Those games that you play, don't you play em'with me

You're a visonary dreamer
A fool leaving things to chance risk is a hazard
Ohh such a harzard if you flirt with romance
It's like a shooting the dice
Flipping coins in the air
You're running on luck the odds are against you
If you're not playing fair

Whatever it is it is, Whatever will be it's gonna be
Whoever you are you are
Those games that play, don't you play em' with me

Stacking the deck, dealing those cards
Watch what you take and stand it on guard

Whatever it is it is, Whatever will be it's gonna be
Whoever you are you are

Je suis seule ce soir

Je suis seule ce soir
Avec mes rêves,
Je suis seule ce soir
Sans ton amour.
Le jour tombe, ma joie s'achève,
Tout se brise dans mon cœur lourd.
Je suis seule ce soir
Avec ma peine
J'ai perdu l'espoir
De ton retour,
Et pourtant je t'aime encor' et pour toujours
Ne me laisse pas seul sans ton amour.

Je viens de fermer ma fenêtre,
Le brouillard qui tombe est glacé
Jusque dans ma chambre il pénètre,
Notre chambre où meurt le passé.

{Refrain}

Dans la cheminée, le vent pleure,
Les roses s'effeuillent sans bruit,
L'horloge, en marquant les quarts d'heure,
D'un son grêle berce l'ennui.

{Refrain}

Tout demeure ainsi que tu l'aimes,
Dans ce coin par toi dédaigné,
Mais si ton parfum flotte même,
Ton dernier bouquet s'est fané.

Return of the mack

oooh, come on. Ooh yeah.
Well, I tried to tell you so (Yes, I did)
But I guess you didn't know, as the saddest story goes
Baby, now I got the flow cause I knew it from the start
Baby, when you broke my heart that I had to come again
And show you that I'm with

You lied to me
All those times I said that I loved you
You lied to me
Yes, I tried, yes, I tried
You lied to me
Even though you know I'd die for you
You lied to me
Yes, I cried, yes, I cried

Return of the Mack
It is Return of the Mack
Come on Return of the Mack
Oh, my god You know that I'll be back
Here I am

Return of the Mack
Once again Return of the Mack
Top of the world Return of the Mack
Watch my flow You know that I'll be back
Here I go

So, I'm back up in the game Running things like half my swing
Lettin' all the people know That I'm back to run the show
'Cause what you did you know was wrong And all the nasty things you've
done
So, baby, listen carefully While I sing my comeback song

You lied to me Cause she said she'd never turn on me
You lied to me But you did, but you did
You lied to me All this pain you said I'd never feel
You lied to me but I do, but I do do do

Return of the Mack
It is Return of the Mack
Hold on Return of the Mack
Don't you know You know that I'll be back (Here I go)
Return of the Mack Oh, little girl
Return of the Mack Once more, girl
Return of the Mack Up and down
You know that I'll be back round and round

Ahhhh, Mark
Stop worrying about your big break

You lied to me Cause he said she'd never turn on me
You lied to me But you did, but you did
You lied to me All this pain you said I'd never feel
You lied to me but I do, but I do do do

Return of the Mack It is
Return of the Mack Come on
Return of the Mack Oh, my god You know that I'll be back
Here I am

Return of the Mack Once again
Return of the Mack Top of the world
Return of the Mack Watch my flow
You know that I'll be back
Don't you know.

Return of the Mack..........

Fantasy

Every man has a place
In his heart there's a space
And the world can't erase his fantasies
Take a ride in the sky
On our ship fantasise
All your dreams will come true right away

And we will live together
Until the twelfth of never
Our voices will ring forever as one

Every thought is a dream
Rushing by in a stream
Bringing life to your kingdom of doing
Take a ride in the sky
On our ship fantasise
All your dreams will come true miles away

Our voices will ring together
Until the twelfth of never
We all will love together as one

Come to see victory
In a land called fantasy
Loving life a new degree
Bring your mind to everlasting liberty

As one

Come to see victory
In a land called fantasy
Loving life for you and me
To behold to your soul is ecstasy
You will find other kind
That has been in search of you
Many lives have brought you to
Recognise it's your life now in review

As you stay for the play
Fantasy has in store for you
A glowing light will see you through
It's your day shining day
All your dreams come true

As you glide in your stride
With the wind as you fly away
Give a smile from your lips and say
Are you free yes I'm free
And I'm on my way

We'll meet again

We'll meet again
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again
Some sunny day
Keep smiling through
Just like you always do
'Till the blue skies
Drive the dark clouds far away

So, will you please say hello
To the folks that I know
Tell them I won't be long
They'll be happy to know
That as you saw me go
I was singing this song

We'll meet again
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again
Some sunny day

We'll meet again
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again
Some sunny day
Keep smiling through
Just like you always do
'Till the blue skies
Drive the dark clouds far away

So, will you please say hello
To the folks that I know
Tell them I won't be long
They'll be happy to know
That as you saw me go
I was singing this song

We'll meet again
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again
Some sunny day...

Summertime

Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high

Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry

One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky

But till that morning
There's a'nothing can harm you
With daddy and mamma standing by

Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high

Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry

originally by George Gershwin for the opera Porgy and Bess
Recently discovered this gem, the original covered by Angelique Kidjo

Hurt

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Dare Me

I've got a chip on my shoulder with you name on it - knock it off.
So don't just stand there foolin' if you don't want it - knock it off.
I say you're either a lover or you are a liar.
So don't you push too hard, you're playin' with fire.

Baby, make your move, step across the line,
Touch me one more time, come on, dare me!
I wanna take you on, I know I can't lose,
I'll be loving you if you just dare me.

Looks like you're lookin' for trouble,
And I'd say you found it - you found it.
You'll have to come right through me,
There's no way around it - you found it.
I hope that lean hungry look means what it's saying.
'Cause I'm just sittin' on ready, ready and waiting.
Baby, make your move, step across the line,...

Come on and dare me.
If there's any truth behind your intentions
This night's gonna end up on fire - you better believe it.
You better believe it, oh baby. Oh, dare me, dare me, dare me.
Baby, make your move, step across the line,...
Baby, make your move, step across the line,...
Baby, make your move, step across the line,...

Soleil Soleil

Tu te couches à Rio
Tu t'lèves à Macao
Tu passes tout l'été pieds nus sur les plages
L'hiver dans les nuages
Je suis la seule à partager
Tes secrets nuit et jour
Depuis le temps qu'on se connaît
Que tu me fais l'amour

Soleil soleil
Je suis née dans tes bras
Soleil soleil
Soleil ne m'oublie pas
Quand tu t'en vas rêver sous les tropiques
Je me sens seule
J'ai plus que des soleils électriques
Soleil soleil
J'irai où tu iras
Fais-moi soleil tout ce que tu voudras
Des plages d'or au cœur des favelas
Le monde chante dès que tu es
là là là là là là là là là là là là là

Dès que je t'aperçois
Je m'approche de toi
Je me déshabille sur le sable chaud
Tu me frôles la peau
Je me fais tendrement câline ou féline
Sous tes doigts
Mais dès que tu t'éloignes un peu
Je t'en veux et j'ai froid

Soleil soleil
Je suis née dans tes bras
Soleil soleil
Soleil ne m'oublie pas
Quand tu t'en vas rêver sous les tropiques
Je me sens seule
J'ai plus que des soleils électriques
Soleil soleil
J'irai où tu iras
Fais-moi soleil tout ce que tu voudras
Des plages d'or au cœur des favelas
Le monde chante dès que tu es
Là là là là là là là là là là là là là

Tu te couches à Rio
Tu t'lèves à Macao
Tu passes tout l'été pieds nus sur les plages
L'hiver dans les nuages
Tu frappes alors à mes volets
Pour entrer te faire pardonner
Un jeans et quelques bermudas
Me voilà en été

Soleil soleil

Soleil soleil
Je suis née dans tes bras
Soleil soleil
Soleil ne m'oublie pas
Quand tu t'en vas rêver sous les tropiques
Je me sens seule
J'ai plus que des soleils électriques
Soleil soleil
J'irai où tu iras
Fais-moi soleil tout ce que tu voudras
Des plages d'or au cœur des favelas
Le monde chante dès que tu es
Là là là là là là là là là là là là là là.

Stop that train

The next train will be leaving from platform one

Stop that train, I wanna get on
My baby, she is leaving me now
Stop that train, I wanna get on
My baby, she is leaving me now

Shalalala... (Big-a jump, eyah)
Shalalala... (Oooh, yeaheah)
Shalalala... (Big-a jump, eyah)
Shalalala...

Stop that train, I wanna get on
My baby, she is leaving me now
Stop that train, I wanna get on
My baby, she is leaving me now

Shalalala... (Big-a jump, eyah)
Shalalala... (Oooh, yeaheah)
Shalalala... (Big-a jump, eyah)
Shalalala...

'Cause if you miss the train I'm on
How did you know that I am gone?
And you can hear the whistle blow five hundred miles

Five hundred miles, five hundred miles
Was he so damn sit on the voodoo file
And you can hear the whistle blow five hundred miles

Hey, mister postman, bring back my woman
Hey, mister postman, bring back my woman

I need, I need, I need a woman (Big-a jump, hey-a)
I want, I want, I want a good one (Oh yeah, me wanna)

'Cause if you miss the train I'm on
And then you'll know that I am gone
And you can hear the whistle blow five hundred miles

Five hundred miles, five hundred miles
Was he so damn sit on the voodoo file
And you can hear the whistle blow five hundred miles

Let it go!
