Please, mr, please - Olivia Newton John (1975) live (with lyrics)



(Lyrics)

In the corner of the bar there stands a jukebox
With the best of country music, old and new
You can hear your five selections for a quarter
And somebody else's songs when yours are through

I got good Kentucky whiskey on the counter
And my friends around to help me ease the pain
'Til some button-pushing cowboy plays that love song
And here I am just missing you again

Please, Mr., please, don't play B-17
It was our song, it was his song, but it's over
Please, Mr., please, if you know what I mean
I don't ever wanna hear that song again

If I had a dime for every time I held you
Though you're far away, you've been so close to me
I could swear I'd be the richest girl in Nashville
Maybe even in the state of Tennessee

But I guess I'd better get myself together
'Cause when you left, you didn't leave too much behind
Just a note that said "I'm sorry" by your picture
And a song that's weighing heavy on my mind

Please, Mr., please, don't play B-17
It was our song, it was his song, but it's over
Please, Mr., please, if you know what I mean
I don't ever wanna hear that song again

You needed me - Anne Murray (1978) with lyrics



(Lyrics)

I cried a tear, you wiped it dry
I was confused, you cleared my mind
I sold my soul, you bought it back for me
And held me up and gave me dignity
Somehow you needed me

You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me

And I can't believe it's you
I can't believe it's true
I needed you and you were there
And I'll never leave, why should I leave?
I'd be a fool 'cause I finally found someone who really cares

You held my hand when it was cold
When I was lost you took me home
You gave me hope when I was at the end
And turned my lies back into truth again
You even called me "friend"

You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me

You needed me, you needed me

You needed me - Anne Murray (1979) live (with lyrics)


From Johnny Cash, 1979 Christmas Special




(Lyrics)

I cried a tear, you wiped it dry
I was confused, you cleared my mind
I sold my soul, you bought it back for me
And held me up and gave me dignity
Somehow you needed me

You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me

And I can't believe it's you
I can't believe it's true
I needed you and you were there
And I'll never leave, why should I leave?
I'd be a fool 'cause I finally found someone who really cares

You held my hand when it was cold
When I was lost you took me home
You gave me hope when I was at the end
And turned my lies back into truth again
You even called me "friend"

You gave me strength to stand alone again
To face the world out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me

You needed me, you needed me

When you're gone - Maggie Macneal (1976) live (with lyrics)



(Lyrics)

I never had another lover
It was you who did discover
How to really touch my heart
Now you are telling me you're going
When my love for you is showing
We should never be apart
So please don't turn your back upon me
Without your love I die slowly
You have taken half my life
Every step I do for you, love
Every move is born of true love
It's a dream I won't survive
'Cause when you're gone
It's not of any use that I go on
That is understood
Don't leave me alone
The stars won't twinkle in the sky no more
The tree will lose it's bloom
The birds won't sing their song
The birds won't sing their song
When I take your hand
I feel my love for you
Will never end or disappear
Please understand, I am near
Love is beautiful, love is dear
When you're here
If you stay with me I promisse
I'll tell the world about us
I'll sing your favorite songs
I'll make you dream a dream forever
Bring you flowers
Till you surrender
I'll prove my love is strong
My friend you're gone
It's not of any use that I go on
That is understood
Don't leave me alone
The stars won't twinkle in the sky no more
The tree will lose it's bloom
The birds won't sing their song
'Cause when you're gone
It's not of any use that I go on
That's understood
Don't leave me alone
The stars won't twinkle in the sky no more
The tree will lose it's bloom
The birds won't sing their song...

Can't you feel my love? - Mathieu Fisher (with lyrics)

(Lyrics)

I just can't get through to you
Whatever I do to you 
I keep trying over and over again 
But you keep lookin' through me 
Like you never knew me 
Over and over and over again 
And I know you don't care 

You pretend that I'm not there 
I've done everything I can 
And I just can't understand 


[chorus]: Baby can't you feel my love 
Baby can't you feel my love? 
Baby can't you feel my love?
Reaching out to you 

I can't get you off my mind 

I think of you all the time 
Over and over and over again 
But I know you don't care 

You just pretend that I'm not there 
I've done everything I can 
And I still can't understand 


Baby can't you feel my love?
Baby can't you feel my love? 
Baby can't you feel my love? 
Reaching out to you
