johnny rivers - when a man loves a woman

(Lights!)

When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else
He'd trade the world
For a good thing he's found
If she is bad, he can't see it
She can do no wrong
He turns his back on his best friend If he puts her down

Yes, When a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
Trying to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all of his comforts
And sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way
It´s gotta be

Well this man loves the woman
(yes I do)
I give everything I have
Trying to hold on to her kind of love
Why if can she treat me bad?

When a man loves a woman
I´ve talked about it down deep in the soul
She can bring him such misery
If she´s playing him for a fool
He's the very last one to know
Loving eyes can never see

Yes when a man loves a woman
Oh, he spends his very last dime
Trying to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all of his comforts
Oh, that fool sleeps out in the rain
If she said that's the way
It´s gotta be

I need it down deep in the soul

johnny rivers - secret agent man

There?s a man who leads a life of danger.
To everyone he meets he stays a stranger.
With every move he makes another chance he takes.
Odds are he won?t live to see tomorrow.

Chorus:
Secret Agent Man
Secret Agent Man
They giving you a number and taken? away your name.

Beware of pretty faces that you find.
A pretty face can hide an evil mind.
Oh, be careful what you say,
Or you will give yourself away.
Odds are you won?t live to see tomorrow.

Chorus x 2

Swinging on the Riviera one day.
And then later in the Bombay Alan next day.
I know you let the wrong words slip,
While kissing persuasive lips.
The odds are you won?t live to see tomorrow.

Chorus

Secret Agent Man

(Chorus 1)
Do you wanna dance and hold my hand ?
Tell me that I?m your man
Baby, do you wanna dance ?

Squeeze and kiss me all through the night
Baby, do you wanna dance ?
Do you wanna dance girl and hold my hand ?
Tell me that I?m your man
Baby, do you wanna dance ?
Do you wanna dance under the moonlight ?
Love me girl all through the night
Baby, do you wanna dance ?

(Chorus 2)
Girl now do you do you do you do you wanna dance ?
Do you do you do you do you wanna dance ?
Do you do you wanna dance ?

(Repeat Chorus 1)

Yes, do you wanna dance I mean under the moonlight ?
Squeeze and kiss me all through the night
Baby, do you wanna dance ?

(Repeat Chorus 2)

johnny rivers - cast your fate to the wind

A month of nights, a year of days
Octobers drifting into Mays
I set my sail when the tide comes in
And I just cast my fate to the wind.

I shift my course along the breeze
Won't sail up wind on memories
The empty sky is my best friend
And I just cast my fate to the wind

That time has a way of changing a man throughout the years
And now I?m rearranging my life through all my tears
Alone, alone, alone

There never was, there couldn't be
A place in time for men like me
Who'd drink the dark and laugh at day
And let their wildest dreams blow away

That time has a way of changing a man throughout the years
And now I?m rearranging my life through all my tears
Alone, alone, alone

So now I?m old, I?m wise, I?m smart
I?m just a man with half a heart
I wonder how it might have been
And I hadn?t cast my fate to the wind
To the wind, to the wind.

johnny rivers - strangers in the night

Strangers in the night exchanging glances
Wond'ring in the night
What were the chances we'd be sharing love
Before the night was through.

Something in your eyes was so inviting,
Something in you smile was so exciting,
Something in my heart,
Told me I must have you.

Strangers in the night, two lonely people
We were strangers in the night
Up to the moment
When we said our first hello.
Little did we know
Love was just a glance away,
A warm embracing dance away and -

Ever since that night we've been together.
Lovers at first sight, in love forever.
It turned out so right,
For strangers in the night.
Love was just a glance away,
A warm embracing dance away and -

Ever since that night we've been together.
Lovers at first sight, in love forever.
It turned out so right,
For strangers in the night.

johnny rivers - baby i need your lovin

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Baby I need your lovin'
Baby I need your lovin'
Although you're never near
Your voice I often hear
Another day, another night
I long to hold you tight
'cause I'm so lonely

Baby I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'
Baby I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'

Some say it's a sign of weakness
For a man to beg
Then weak I would rather be
If it means havin' you to keep
'cause lately I've been losin' sleep

Baby I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'
Baby I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'

Every night I call your name
Sometimes I wonder girl, will I ever be the same
When you see me smile you know
Things are just gettin' worse
Any smile you might see baby
Has all been rehearsed
Baby I can't go on without ya
This lonliness won't let me live without ya
This emptiness inside me baby
Makes me feel half alive

Baby I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'
Baby I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'
Baby I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'

johnny rivers - walk myself on home

I've been waiting in here all night for you to meet me
I've been waiting in here all night all alone
But it looks like by now you ain't never gonna show
So I guess that I'll just walk myself on home

Oh I spend all my time just waiting on you
I'll never know why you treat me the way you do
I should know by now that you're just leading me on
So I guess that I'll just walk myself on home

I'm walkin' home, I'm all alone
You know I'm walkin home, I ain't got nobody of my own

I've been waiting here since 8, and now it's 10
I've been playing your little game since I don't know when
I'm gonna find me a little girl who won't make me wait so long
So I guess that I'll just walk myself on home

I'm walkin' home, you know I'm all alone
But I'm walkin home, I ain't got nobody of my own

I've been waiting here since 8, and now it's 10
I've been playing your little game since I don't know when
I'm gonna find me a brand new girl who won't make me wait so long
So I guess that I'll just walk myself on home
You know I guess that I'll just walk myself on home
I guess that I'll just walk myself on home

johnny rivers - he don t love you

He don?t love you?.like I love you
If he did he wouldn?t break your heart
He don?t love you?.like I love you

Girls to him are just another play
But wait?.

And baby you?re left standing?.all along
When he takes his bow and makes his exit
Whoooa?. I?ll be there to take you home

?Cause he don?t love you
And he never will
Like I love you
If he did he wouldn?t break your heart
No?no
He don?t love you?.like I love you

johnny rivers - california dreamin

All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
On a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm
If I was in L.A.
California dreamin'
On such a winter's day

Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
I got down on my knees
And I pretend to pray
You know the preacher likes the cold
He knows I'm gonna stay
California dreamin'
On such a winter's day

Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
I got down on my knees
And I pretend to pray
Know if I didn't tell her
I could leave today
California dreamin'
On such a winter's day

johnny rivers - look to your soul

I nearly lost myself
Tryin' to be someone else
All of my life I've been playin' the game
Gotta get out of myself, it seems
Life's not real when you're in a dream
Hang onto your head and give it a try

To live you must nearly die
Giving up the need to say "I"
Look to your soul for the answer
Look to your soul

So many people passing by
Have a need to identify
All of us want to be satisfied
Few people seem to care
Livin' a life that leads nowhere
Nobody takes the time to try

To live you must nearly die
Giving up the need to say "I"
Just Look to your soul for the answer
Look to your soul
Look to your soul

johnny rivers - swayin to the music

It's late at night and we're all alone
With just the music on the radio
No one's coming, no one's gonna telephone
Just me and you and the lights down low
And we're

Slow dancing, swaying to the music
Slow dancing, just me and my girl
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
No one else in the whole wide world
Just you, girl

And we just flow together when the lights are low
And shadows dancing across the wall
The music's playing so soft and slow
And the rest of the world so far away and small
And we're

Slow dancing, swaying to the music
Slow dancing, just me and my girl
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
No one else in the whole wide world
Just you, girl

Hold me, hold me
Don't ever let me go

As we dance together in the dark
There's so much love in this heart of mine
You whisper to me and I hold you tight
You're the one I thought I'd never find

Slow dancing, swaying to the music
Slow dancing, just me and my girl
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
No one else in the whole wide world
Oh my, girl

johnny rivers - artists and poets

Living in poverty,
searching for harmony
Chasing after dreams not yet real

An artist with no brush,
a poet with no pen
Tried to tell the world what he did feel

Years of disappointment,
rare moments of joy
Wonder how he endured the strife

He saw all the beauty,
felt the sorrow and pain
Searchin for meaning to his life

Now that he's gone will his songs live on?
Will someone remember what he gave
Stars in the skies, tears in your eyes
Ooo, it made me feel so good inside

Came from Alabama
with a banjo on his knee
Spent some time in Nashville, Tennessee

He sang some fine lines,
sad songs of hard times
just for the people on the land
(Chorus)

johnny rivers - solitary man

Melinda was mine
'Til the time
That I found her
Holding Jim
Loving him

Then Sue came along
Loved me strong
That's what I thought
Me and Sue
But that died too

Don't know that I will
But until I can find me
A girl who'll stay
And won't play games behind me
I'll be what I am
A solitary man
Solitary man

I've had it to here
Bein' where
Love's a small world
Part-time thing
Paper ring

I know it's been done
Having' one
Girl who'll love me
Right or wrong
Weak or strong

Don't know that I will
But until I can find me
The girl who'll stay
And won't play games behind me
I'll be what I am
A solitary man

johnny rivers - a whiter shade of pale

We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

She said there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see
But i wandered through my playing cards
And i would not let her be
One of the sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just as well've been closed

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
