#87 Do You Know the Way to San Jose (Dionne Warwick) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Do you know the way to San Jose?
I’ve been away so long
I may go wrong and lose my way
Do you know the way to San Jose?
I’m going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose🪄
LA is a great big freeway
Put a hundred down and buy a car
In a week, maybe two, they’ll make you a star
Weeks turn into years, how quick they pass
And all the stars that never were
Are parking cars and pumping gas🪄
You can really breathe in San Jose
They’ve got a lot of space
There’ll be a place where I can stay
I was born and raised in San Jose
I’m going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose🪄
Fame and fortune is a magnet
It can pull you far away from home
With a dream in your heart you’re never alone
Dreams turn into dust and blow away
And there you are without a friend
You park your car and ride away🪄
I’ve got lots of friends in San Jose
Do you know the way to San Jose?🪄
Oh, LA is a great big freeway
Put a hundred down and buy a car
In a week, maybe two, they’ll make you a star
Weeks turn into years, how quick they pass
And all the stars that never were
Are parking cars and pumping gas🪄
I’ve got lots of friends in San Jose
Oh, do you know the way to San Jose?
Can’t wait to get back to San Jose

#86 Time Has Come Today (The Chambers Brothers) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Time has come today
Young hearts can go their way
Can’t put it off another day
I don’t care what others say
They say we don’t listen anyway
Time has come today
(Hey)🪄
Oh
The rules have changed today (Hey)
I have no place to stay (Hey)
I’m thinking about the subway (Hey)
My love has flown away (Hey)
My tears have come and gone (Hey)
Oh my Lord, I have to roam (Hey)
I have no home (Hey)
I have no home (Hey)🪄
Now the time has come (Time)
There’s no place to run (Time)
I might get burned up by the sun (Time)
But I had my fun (Time)
I’ve been loved and put aside (Time)
I’ve been crushed by the tumbling tide (Time)
And my soul has been psychedelicized (Time)🪄
Now the time has come (Time)
There are things to realize (Time)
Time has come today (Time)
Time has come today (Time)🪄
Time
Time
Time
Time
Time
Time
Time
Time
Time
Time
Time🪄
Oh
Now the time has come (Time)
There’s no place to run (Time)
I might get burned up by the sun (Time)
But I had my fun (Time)
I’ve been loved and put aside (Time)
I’ve been crushed by tumbling tide (Time)
And my soul has been psychedelicized (Time)🪄
Now the time has come (Time)
There are things to realize (Time)
Time has come today (Time)
Time has come today (Time)🪄
Time
Time
Time
Time

#85 Cab Driver (The Mills Brothers) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Cab driver, drive by Mary’s place
I just wanna chance to see her face
Don’t stop the meter let it race
Cab driver, drive by Mary’s place🪄
Cab driver, once more ’round the block
Never mind the ticket or the clock
I only wish we could have a talk
Cab driver, once more ’round the block🪄
Cab driver, once more down the street
There’s a little place we used to eat
That’s where I laid my future at her feet
Cab driver, once more down the street🪄
Cab driver, wait here by the door
Perhaps I’ll hold her in my arms once more
Then things will be just like they were before
Cab driver, wait here by her door🪄
Cab driver, you’d better take me home
I guess that I was meant to be alone
I hope God sends me a love one of my own
Cab driver, better take me home
Cab driver, better take me home
Cab driver, better take me home

#84 If You Can Want (Smokey Robinson & The Miracles) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Oh
Oh, you may not love me now but I’m stayin’ around
‘Cause you want my company
Just like push can turn to shove, like can turn to love
And it’s my philosophy that
If you can want, you can need
And if you can need, you can care
If you can care, you can love
When you want me I’ll be there
Whenever you want me, I’ll be there
Oh, now this may take some time, but if time was money
I would be a millionaire
So whenever you want me call, any time at all
And for sure I’ll be right there, ’cause
If you can want, you can need
And if you can need, baby, you can care
If you can care, you can love
So when you want me I’ll be there
(I’ll be there) when ever you want me, oh yeah
I’ll be standin’ by, not far way
Let your mind give me a sign
‘Cause I’m prepared to wait until that future date
When you’ll want me all the time, ’cause
If you can want, you can need
And if you can need, you can care
If you can care, you can love
So when you want me I’ll be there
(I’ll be there) when ever you want me
You can want, you can need
You can need, you can care
You can care, you can love
So when you want me I’ll be there
I’ll be there, whenever you want me (you can want)

#83 Sweet Inspiration (The Sweet Inspirations) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
I need your sweet inspiration
I need you here on my mind
Every hour of the day
Without your sweet inspiration
The lonely hours of the night
Just don’t go my way🪄
A woman in love need sweet inspiration
And honey that’s all I ask
You know that’s all I ask from you
I gotta have your sweet inspiration, yeah
You know there just ain’t no telling
What a satisfied woman might do🪄
When you call me baby, baby
It’s such a sweet inspiration
The way you call me darling, darling
Sets my heart to skating
And if I’m out in the rain, baby
And in a bad situation
You know
I gotta reach you back in my mind
And there I find you🪄
Sweet, sweet inspiration, inspiration
Whole lot of power
And I got the power
Every hour of the day
I need you sweet inspiration, yeah
To go on living
To keep on giving this away🪄
I need you sweet inspiration
Sweet inspiration
Sweet inspiration
Sweet inspiration🪄
Sweet, sweet inspiration
I got to have your sweet, sweet inspiration
Oh, give me your sweet inspiration
Sweet inspiration
Sweet inspiration
Sweet inspiration

#81 You’re All I Need To Get By (Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
You’re all I need to get by🪄
Like the sweet morning dew, I took one look at you
And it was plain to see
You were my destiny
With my arms open wide
I threw away my pride
I’ll sacrifice for you
Dedicate my life for you🪄
I will go where you lead
Always there in time of need
And when I lose my will
You’ll be there to push me up the hill🪄
There’s no, no looking back for us
We got love, sure ‘nough, that’s enough
You’re all, you’re all I need to get by
(You’re all I need to get by) Tammi, listen🪄
Like an eagle protects his nest, for you, I’ll do my best
Stand by you like a tree, and dare anybody to try and move me
Darling in you, I found
Strength where I was torn down
Don’t know what’s in store, but together we can open any door🪄
Just to do what’s good for you and inspire you a little higher
I know you can make a man out of a soul that didn’t have a goal
‘Cause we, we got the right foundation and with love and determination
You’re all, you’re all I want to strive for and do a little more
All, all the joys under the sun wrapped up into one
You’re all, you’re all I need
You’re all I need
You’re all I need
To get by🪄
Oh, babe
Oh, babe
Honey, honey, honey, honey, yeah
I need you darling
Oh, I need you (you’re all)
All your love (all I need)
Oh, oh, oh
I love you darling (oh, baby)
All I need
I need your love (you’re all I want)
Oh (oh)
All you love now (yeah)

#80 White Room (Cream) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
In the white room with black curtains near the station
Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings
Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes
Dawn light smiles on you leaving, my contentment🪄
I’ll wait in this place where the sun never shines
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves🪄
You said no strings could secure you at the station
Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows
I walked into such a sad time at the station
As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning🪄
I’ll wait in the queue when the trains come back
Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves🪄
At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd
Consolation for the old wound now forgotten
Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes
She’s just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings🪄
I’ll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd
Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves

#79 Elenore (The Turtles) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
You got a thing about you
I just can’t live without you
I really want you, Elenore, near me🪄
Your looks intoxicate me
Even though your folks hate me
There’s no one like you, Elenore, really🪄
Elenore, gee, I think you’re swell
And you really do me well
You’re my pride and joy, et cetera
Elenore, can I take the time
To ask you to speak your mind?
Tell me that you love me better🪄
I really think you’re groovy
Let’s go out to a movie
What do you say, now, Elenore, can we?🪄
They’ll turn the lights way down low
Maybe we won’t watch the show
I think I love you, Elenore, love me🪄
Elenore, gee, I think you’re swell
And you really do me well
You’re my pride and joy, et cetera
Elenore, can I take the time
To ask you to speak your mind?
Tell me that you love me better🪄
Elenore, gee, I think you’re swell, ah-ah
Elenore, gee, I think you’re swell, ah-ah
Ah

#78 Woman, Woman (Gary Puckett and The Union Gap) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Woman
Woman
Have you got cheating on your mind?
On your mind🪄
Something’s wrong between us
That your laughter cannot hide
And you’re afraid to let your eyes meet mine🪄
And lately when I love you
I know you’re not satisfied🪄
Woman
Woman
Have you got cheating on your mind?
On your mind🪄
I’ve seen the way men look at you
When they think I don’t see
And it hurts to have them think that you’re that kind🪄
But it’s knowing that you’re looking back
That’s really killing me🪄
Woman
Woman
Have you got cheating on your mind?
On your mind🪄
A woman wears a certain look
When she is on the move
And a man can always tell what’s on her mind🪄
I hate to have to say it
But that look’s all over you🪄
Woman
Woman
Have you got cheating on your mind?🪄
Oh, woman
Woman
Have you got cheating on your mind?🪄
Oh, woman
Oh, ho, woman
Have you got cheating on your mind?🪄
Oh
