Back to Basics lyrics

(John Farrar)

Come take my hand
You should know me
I've always been in your mind
You know that I'll be kind
I'll be guiding you

Building your dream
Has to start now
There's no other road to take
You won't make a mistake
I'll be guiding you

You have to believe we are magic
Nothin' can stand in our way
You have to believe we are magic
Don't let your aim ever stray

He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother

The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows when
But I'm strong

Rosie - We're talkin' to women over 35.

Olivia - You do a self-examination.

Rosie - We got another thing to keep you alive, give your boobs a squeeze!

Olivia - A mammogram makes sure that you have healthy breasts.

Rosie - No different than a cold waffle iron...

Olivia - Reminds me of having my blue jeans pressed.

Rosie - So make your move and please.

Please Mr. Please
Olivia Newton-John
(Welch/Rostill)

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

(Peter Allen/Jeff Barry)

Maybe I hang around here
A little more than I should
We both know I got somewhere else to go
But I got something to tell you
That I never thought I would
But I believe you really ought to know

I love you
I honestly love you

You don't have to answer
I see it in your eyes
Maybe it was better left unsaid
This is pure and simple
And you should realize

Rosie - We're talkin' to women over 35.

Olivia - You do a self-examination.

Rosie - We got another thing to keep you alive, give your boobs a squeeze!

Olivia - A mammogram makes sure that you have healthy breasts.

Rosie - No different than a cold waffle iron...

Olivia - Reminds me of having my blue jeans pressed.

Rosie - So make your move and please.

Night is dragging her feet
I wait alone in the heat.
I know, know that you'll have your way
When you have to go home
No's a word I can't say.
'Cause it gets me nowhere
to tell you 'no'.
And it gets me nowhere
to make you go.
Will a little more love
make you start depending?
Will a little more love bring us a happy ending?
Will a little more love make it right?

(Casey/Jacobs)

Summer lovin', had me a blast
Summer lovin', happened so fast
Met a girl crazy for me
Met a boy cute as can be
Summer days drifting away
To, uh oh, those summer nights

Well-a, well-a, well-a, uh!
Tell me more, tell me more
Did you get very far?
Tell me more, tell me more
Like does he have a car?

She swam by me, she got a cramp
He ran by me, got my suit damp

(John Farrar)

Come take my hand
You should know me
I've always been in your mind
You know that I'll be kind
I'll be guiding you

Building your dream
Has to start now
There's no other road to take
You won't make a mistake
I'll be guiding you

You have to believe we are magic
Nothin' can stand in our way
You have to believe we are magic
Don't let your aim ever stray

I got chills, they're multiplyin', and I'm losin' control

Cause the power you're supplyin', it's electrifyin'

You better shape up, cause I need a man,

and my heart is set on you
You better shape up, you better understand,

to my heart I must be true

Nothing left, nothing left for me to do

[Chorus:] You're the one that I want

(you are the one I want), ooh ooh ooh, honey

Some people search a lifetime
for a love to stand the test of time.
But you don't have to worry
you've got someone
who will always be right by your side.
Whoa-oh-oh
I've got a love
got a love that won't end here in my heart baby.
I've got a love so deep, deeper than a river.
So high, higher than any mountain.
So strong, strong enough to last for all time.
This love is running so deep

Alone,
So alone that I could cry.
I want to be wanted.
Alone,
watching lovers passing by.
I want to be wanted
When I am kissed I want his lips to really kiss me.
When we're apart I want his heart to really miss me.
I want to know he loves me so his eyes are misty...
That's the way I want to be loved.
Alone.
Just me lonely heart knows how
I want to be wanted.
Right now.
