Ray LaMontagne featuring Sierra Ferrell - I Was Born To Love You

I am such an admirer of Ray LaMontagne. I cherish this.

I Was Born To Love You lyrics

Ray LaMontagne

You give me a sign
You give me a lift
You take me home when I've done my shift

You give me a loan
When I'm stone cold broke
Get me high, when I need a toke

I was born to love
I was born to love
I was born to love
I was born to-

Times were tough
We made it through
We tasted the rough
So let's save the spoon
All the time I was hurtin' you
Got to believe that I was hurtin' too

I was born to love
I was born to-
Born to love
I was born to-

Your the only one I can talk to
The only one I can really read
I know you give because you want to
Don't you think it's time you learned to let yourself receive?

Can make you smile
Can make you sing
Just wanna give back a little bit of what you give me

I could sing you a song
Play you a tune
I know it's just a little thing but it's something I can do

I was born to love
I was born to-
I was a-born to love
I was born to-

I was born (Born)
To love you
I was born (Born)
To love you

Elvis Costello, John Prine, Ray LaMontagne - Loretta

"Loretta" lyrics

Oh Loretta she's a barroom girl
Wears them sevens on her sleeve
Dances like a diamond shines
Tell me lies I love to believe
Her age is always 22
Her laughing eyes a hazel hue
Spends my money like water falls
Loves me like I want her to

Oh, Loretta, won't you say to me
Darling, put your guitar on
Have a little shot of booze

Play a blue a and wailing song
My guitar rings a melody
My guitar sings, Loretta's fine
Long and lazy, blonde and free
And I can have her any time

Sweetest at the break of day
Prettiest in the setting sun
She don't cry when I can't stay
'least not till she's all alone
Loretta, I won't be gone long
Keep your dancing slippers on
Keep me on your mind a while
I'll be back, babe, to make you smile

Elvis Costello, Loretta Lynn - Success

Success lyrics

We used to go out walking hand in hand
You told me all the big things you had planned
It wasn't long till all your dreams came true
Success put me in second place with you

You have no time to love me anymore
Since fame and fortune knocked upon our door
I spend all my evenings all alone
Success has made a failure of our home

If we could spend an evening now and then
Perhaps we'd find true happiness again
You never hold me like you used to do
It's funny what success has done for you

You have no time to love me anymore
Since fame and fortune knocked upon our door
I spend all my evenings all alone
Success has made a failure of our home

Elvis Costello - Pardon Me Madam, My Name Is Eve

When I was his only bride
Before I was torn out from his side

"Pardon Me Madam, My Name Is Eve" lyrics

Pardon me, Madam, my name is Eve
I think it's time for you to leave
I don't believe that we have met
That's one thing you would not forget

In another time or life
When I was his only wife
When I was his only bride
Before I was torn out from his side

In the orchard apples are withering
In the shadows something is slithering
So go along there if you must
And try to do as I suggest
He's just a gathering of dust

And if he can't recall my name
Tell him to take his time, it's worth recovering
Look at me, and what I'm covered in
I'm covered in shame

I came back looking for my man
Wandered everywhere and then
Stood outside and gazed upon
A beautiful garden, a shimmering pond

See the sunlight on the leaves that dapple
Did you see my little teeth marks on the apple?
Don't close the door on the hand I'm offering
There is always someone on the outside doing all of the suffering

In the orchard, apples are withering
In the shadows, something is slithering
But in another time or life
When I was his only wife
When I was his only bride
Before I was torn out
Before I was torn out
Before I was torn out
From his side

Pardon me, Madam, my name is Eve
Pardon me, Madam, my name is Eve
I think it's time for one of us to leave

Loretta Lynn featuring Elvis Costello - Everything It Takes

Everything it Takes lyrics

Loretta Lynn

I love you more than she ever will
But the only way she can get a man is steal
I don't know if I should tell you this or not
She's got everything it takes

To take everything you've got
And when she takes you
She's takin' everything that I've got too
She's had a million old flames

So to her you're nothin' new
She's cold as ice
But you still think she's hot
She's got everything it takes

To take everything you've got
She turned you on
And then you turned on me
I'm more of a women

Than she'll ever be
To me she ain't nothin'
But to her that's a lot
She's got everything it takes

To take everything you've got
And when she takes you
She's takin' everything that I've got too
She's had a million old flames

So to her you're nothing new
She's cold as ice
But you still think she's hot
She's got everything it takes

To take everything you've got
She's got everything it takes
To take everything you've got

The Beatles - Golden Slumbers

Golden Slumbers Lyrics

Once there was a way
To get back homeward

Once there was a way
To get back home

Sleep, pretty darling
Do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby

Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise

Sleep, pretty darling
Do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby

Once there was a way
To get back homeward
Once there was a way
To get back home

Sleep, pretty darling
Do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby

But when we are gone
It will still burn on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on

We didn't start the fire
It was always burning, since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No, we didn't light it, but we tried to fight it

It was always burning, since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No, we didn't light it, but we tried to fight it

It was always burning, since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No, we didn't light it, but we tried to fight it

What does this mean?

Bama Lama Bama Loo lyrics

Elvis Costello

Bama lama bama loo
Gotta girl named Lucinda
They call her 'The Great Pretender'
Gotta girl named Lucinda
They call her 'The Great Pretender'
And when she talks
She says a bama lama loo

Bama lama bama loo
Bama lama bama loo
Bama lama bama loo
Bama lama bama loo

Well, I dig her style
She's 'bout to drive me wild
With bama lama bama loo

Well, I asked my baby for a kiss
She shook her head around like this
I asked my little girl for a kiss
She shook her head around like this
She said

Bama lama bama loo
Bama lama bama loo
Bama lama bama loo
Bama lama bama loo

Well, I dig her style
She's 'bout to drive me wild
With bama lama bama loo

Well, I asked my little girl for a kiss
She shook her head around like this
I asked my little girl for a kiss
She shook her head around like this
She said

Bama lama bama loo
Bama lama bama loo
Bama lama bama loo
Bama lama bama loo

Well, I dig her style
She's 'bout to drive me wild
With bama lama bama loo

Well, I dig her style
She's 'bout to drive me wild
With bama lama bama loo

This has apparently been going on for a long time.

Don't Play That Song Lyrics

Aretha Franklin

Don't play that song for me
'Cause it brings back memories
Of days that I once knew
The days that I spent with you

Oh no, don't let 'em play it (oh no)
It fills my heart with pain (it hurts)
Please, stop it right away
'Cause I remember just what he said

He said: "darling..." (darlin' I, I love you)
And I know that he lied (oh, he lied)
You know that you lied (oh, he lied)
You know that you lied, lied, you lied (to me)

Hey mister, don't play it no more
Don't play it no more
I can't stand it
Don't play it no more (no more)
No more (no more), no more
Whoa-whoa (can't stand it)

I remember on our first date
He kissed me and he walked away
I was only seventeen
I'd never dream he'd be so mean

He told me, "darling..." (darling, I love you)
Baby, baby, you lied (darling, I need you)
You, you lied (darling, I love you)
You know that you lied (you lied)
Lied (you lied), you lied (to me)

Oh-oh-oh, darling (darling, I love you)
You know that you lied, yeah (darling, I need you)
You know I know you lied (darling, I love you)
Darling, you lied (you lied) you lied
(You lied) you lied, go on and hurt me
You lied (to me)

Oh, whoa-oh, you lied (don't play it no more)
Oh, baby don't play it no more (don't play it no more)
Don't do it, don't play it no more (for me), no more (for me)
I can't stand it no more (don't play it no more)
Oh hey, don't play it no more (don't play it no more)
