Bad Love

(by eric clapton and mick jones)

Oh what a feeling I get when I’m with you
You take my heart into everything you do
And it makes me sad for the lonely people
I walked that road for so long
Now I know that I’m one of the lucky people
Your love is making me strong

I’ve had enough bad love
I need something I can be proud of
I’ve had enough bad love
No more bad love

And now I see that my life has been so blue
With all the heartaches I had till I met you
But I’m glad to say now that’s all behind me
With you here by my side
And there’s no more memories to remind me
Your love will keep me alive

After Midnight

By j. j. cale

After midnight, we’re gonna let it all hang down.
After midnight, we’re gonna chug-a-lug and shout.
We’re gonna stimulate some action;
We’re gonna get some satisfaction.
We’re gonna find out what it is all about.
After midnight, we’re gonna let it all hang down.

After midnight, we’re gonna shake your tambourine.
After midnight, it’s all gonna be peaches and cream.
We’re gonna cause talk and suspicion;
We’re gonna give an exhibition.
We’re gonna find out what it is all about.
After midnight, we’re gonna let it all hang down.

After midnight, we’re gonna let it all hang down.

Second verse

After midnight, we’re gonna let it all hang down.
After midnight, we’re gonna let it all hang down.
After midnight, we’re gonna let it all hang down.
After midnight, we’re gonna let it all hang down.

A Certain Girl by Naomi Neville

There’s a certain girl I’ve been in love with a long, long time.
(what’s her name? ) I can’t tell you. (no!)
I can’t reveal her name until I’ve got her.
(what’s her name? ) I can’t tell you. (no!)
Well, I’ve tried to get her time and time again.
We just end up as nothing but friends.
And there’s a certain girl I’ve been in love with a long, long time.
(what’s her name? ) I can’t tell you. (no!)

Well, there’s a certain chick I’ve been sweet on since I met her.
(what’s her name? ) I can’t tell you. (no!)
I can’t repeat her name until I get her.
(what’s her name? ) I can’t tell you. (no!)
Well one day, I’m gonna wake up and say,
I’ll do anything just to be your slave.
And there’s a certain girl I’ve been in love with a long, long time.
(what’s her name? ) I can’t tell you. (no!)

Well, I’ve tried to get her time and time again.
We just end up as nothing but friends.
And there’s a certain girl I’ve been in love with a long, long time.
(what’s her name? ) I can’t tell you. (no!)

There’s a certain chick I’ve been sweet on since I found her.
(what’s her name? ) I can’t tell you. (no!)
I can’t reveal her name until I get her.
(what’s her name? ) I can’t tell you. (no!)
Well now one day, get her time and time again.
We just end up as nothing but friends.
And there’s a certain girl I’ve been in love with a long, long time.
(what’s her name? ) I can’t tell you. (no!)

I can’t tell you. (no!)
I can’t tell you. (no!)
I can’t tell you.

By bonnie bramlett and eric clapton

I’m just a bad boy, long long ways from home.
I’m just a bad boy, long long ways from home.
But I ain’t got nobody to bury me when I’m dead and gone.

Well I’m the cat that scratches and I’m like a dog that bites.
I’ll be your box of matches, baby, when you need a light.

Chorus

I used to have a little girl, only 16 years old,
But her mom and dad put me way out, way out in the cold.
I can’t stay here no longer, my luck is running slow.
Gotta keep on moving but I ain’t got no place to go.

› Cocaine

By j. j. cale

If you wanna hang out you’ve got to take her out; cocaine.
If you wanna get down, down on the ground; cocaine.
She don’t lie, she don’t lie, she don’t lie; cocaine.

If you got bad news, you wanna kick them blues; cocaine.
When your day is done and you wanna run; cocaine.
She don’t lie, she don’t lie, she don’t lie; cocaine.

If your thing is gone and you wanna ride on; cocaine.
Don’t forget this fact, you can’t get it back; cocaine.
She don’t lie, she don’t lie, she don’t lie; cocaine.

She don’t lie, she don’t lie, she don’t lie; cocaine.

Wonderful Tonight

(by eric clapton)

It’s late in the evening
She’s wondering what clothes to wear
She puts on her make up
And brushes her long blonde hair
And then she asks me
Do I look alright
And I say yes, you look wonderful tonight

We go a party
And everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady
That’s walking around with me
And then she asks me
Do you feel alright
And I say yes, I feel wonderful tonight

I feel wonderful
Because I see the love light in your eyes
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don’t realize
How much I love you

It’s time to go home now
And I’ve got an aching head
So I give her the car keys
She helps me to bed
And then I tell her
As I turn out the light
I say my darling, you were wonderful tonight
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight

Tears in Heaven

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you feel the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
’cause I know I don’t belong here in heaven...

Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven?
I’ll find my way through night and day
’cause I know I just can’t stay here in heaven...

Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart, have you begging please...begging please

Beyond the door there’s peace I’m sure
And I know there’ll be no more tears in heaven...

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you feel the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
’cause I know I don’t belong here in heaven...

Layla

(by eric clapton and jim gordon)

What’ll you do when you get lonely
No one waiting by your side?
You’ve been running and hiding much too long.
You know it’s just your foolish pride.

Layla, you’ve got me on my knees.
Layla, I’m begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won’t you ease my worried mind.

I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down.

Chorus

Let’s make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane.
Please don’t say we’ll never find a way
And tell me all my love’s in vain.

Chorus

I Shot The Sheriff

By bob marley

I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy.
I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy.

All around in my home town
They’re trying to track me down.
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the killing of a deputy,
For the life of a deputy.
But I say:

I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense.
I shot the sheriff, and they say it is a capital offense.

Sheriff john brown always hated me;
For what I don’t know.
Every time that I plant a seed
He said, kill it before it grows.
He said, kill it before it grows.
I say:

I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense.
I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense.

Freedom came my way one day
And I started out of town.
All of a sudden I see sheriff john brown
Aiming to shoot me down.
So I shot, I shot him down.
I say:

I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy.
I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy.

Reflexes got the better of me
And what is to be must be.
Every day the bucket goes to the well,
But one day the bottom will drop out,
Yes, one day the bottom will drop out.
But I say:

I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy, oh no.
I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy, oh no.

Change The World

By tommy sims, gordon kenney and wayne kirkpatrick

If I can reach the stars,
Pull one down for you,
Shine it on my heart
So you could see the truth:
That this love I have inside
Is everything it seems.
But for now I find
It’s only in my dreams.

And I can change the world,
I will be the sunlight in your universe.
You would think my love was really something good,
Baby if I could change the world.

And if I could be king,
Even for a day,
I’d take you as my queen;
I’d have it no other way.
And our love would rule
This kingdom we had made.
Till then I’d be a fool,
Wishing for the day...

That I can change the world,
I would be the sunlight in your universe.
You would think my love was really something good,
Baby if I could change the world.
Baby if I could change the world.

I could change the world,
I would be the sunlight in your universe.
You would think my love was really something good,
Baby if I could change the world.
Baby if I could change the world.
Baby if I could change the world.

Before You Accuse Me

(by eugene mcdaniel)

Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
You say I’ve been spending my money on other women
You’ve been taking money from someone else

I called your mama ’bout three or four nights ago
I called your mama ’bout three or four nights ago
Well your mother said son
Don’t call my daughter no more

First verse

Come back home baby, try my love one more time
Come back home baby, try my love one more time
If I don’t go on and quit you
I’m gonna lose my mind

First verse

Blue Eyes Blue

By diane warren

I thought that you’d be loving me.
I thought you were the one who’d stay forever.
But now forever’s come and gone
And I’m still here alone.

’cause you were only playing,
You were only playing with my heart.
I was never waiting,
I was never waiting for the tears to start.

It was you who put the clouds around me.
It was you who made the tears fall down.
It was you who broke my heart in pieces.
It was you, it was you who made my blue eyes blue.
Oh, I never should have trusted you.

I thought that I’d be all you need.
In your eyes I thought I saw my heaven.
And now my heaven’s gone away
And I’m out in the cold.

’cause you had me believing,
You had me believing in a lie.
Guess I couldn’t see it,
I guess I couldn’t see it till I saw goodbye.

Chorus

’cause you were only playing,
You were only playing with my heart.
I was never waiting,
I was never waiting for the tears to start.

It was you who put the clouds around me.
It was you.

Chorus

Oh, I never should have trusted you.
Oh, I never should have trusted you.
Oh, I never should have trusted you.

Further on up The Road

By joe medwich veasey and don d. robey

Further on up the road someone’s gonna hurt you like you hurt me.
Further on up the road someone’s gonna hurt you like you hurt me.
Further on up the road, baby, just you wait and see.

You gotta reap just what you sow; that old saying is true.
You gotta reap just what you sow; that old saying is true.
Just like you mistreat someone, someone’s gonna mistreat you.

You been laughing, pretty baby, someday you’re gonna be crying.
You been laughing, pretty baby, someday you’re gonna be crying.
Further on up the road you’ll find out I wasn’t lying.

Further on up the road someone’s gonna hurt you like you hurt me.
Further on up the road someone’s gonna hurt you like you hurt me.
Further on up the road, baby, just you wait and
