Elton John
"Your Song"
Album: Elton John (1970 UNI/MCA)
SINGLE:
LYRICS:
It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

LYRICS:
Your love is king,
crown you in my heart.
Your love is king,
never need to part.
Your kisses ring,
round and round and round my head.
Touching the very part of me.
It's making my soul sing.
Tearing the very heart of me.
I'm crying out for more.
Your love is king,
crown you in my heart.
Your love is king.
You're the ruler of my heart.
Your kisses ring,

Touching the very part of me.
It's making my soul sing.

Your love is king.
I'm coming up, I'm coming.
You're making me dance, inside.

"Happy"
Album: Exile on Main St. (1972 Rolling Stones)
SINGLE:
LYRICS:
Well I never kept a dollar past sunset,
It always burned a hole in my pants.
Never made a school mama happy,
Never blew a second chance.
I need a love to keep me happy,
I need a love to keep me happy.
Baby, baby keep me happy.
Baby, baby keep me happy.
Always took candy from strangers,
Didn't wanna get me no trade.
Never want to be like papa,
Working for the boss ev'ry night and day.
I need a love to keep me happy,
I need a love, baby won't ya keep me happy.
Baby, won't ya keep me happy.
Baby, please keep me
I need a love to keep me happy,
I need a love to keep me happy.
Baby, baby keep me happy.
Baby, baby keep me happy.
Never got a flash out of cocktails,
When I got some flesh off the bone.
Never got a lift out of Lear jets,
When I can fly way back home.
I need a love to keep me happy,
I need a love to keep me happy.
Baby, baby keep me happy.
Baby, baby keep me happy.
When I get you home tonight
Baby it's gonna be alright
Girl just you and I
And let's recognize true love
Hey girl are you,
In a romantic mood, singing ooh,
Won't you groove me?
Groove Me! Tonight! (Sing along with me)
Groove Me! Baby! (Heyyyy)
Even if it's for a while
Enjoy this good loving with a smile
We'll go out tonight
Have a little part of paradise
We'll go out tonight
Baby, Having dinner round the candle light
Then you can Groove Me baby tonight!
Groove me baby
Don't tease me, with your maybe's girl
Tell me you are in my world
And you'll never leave, girl don't make me plead, with you
I need to love
Only you my love, singing ooh, Groove Me baby
Groove Me baby
Groove Me baby
Tonight tonight right now baby
That's what I want you to do
I want you to Groove Me tonight
Don't say no don't say maybe
Groove Me baby now! Yeah
