#98 The Thrill Is Gone (B.B. King) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone away
The thrill is gone, baby
The thrill is gone away
You know you done me wrong, baby
And you’ll be sorry someday🪄
The thrill is gone
It’s gone away from me
The thrill is gone, baby
The thrill is gone away from me
Although, I’ll still live on
But so lonely I’ll be🪄
The thrill is gone
It’s gone away for good
All the thrill is gone
Baby, it’s gone away for good
Someday I know I’ll be open-armed baby
Just like I know, I know I should🪄
You know, I’m free, free now, baby
I’m free from your spell
Oh, free, free, free now, baby
I’m free from your spell
And now that it’s all over
All that I can do is wish you well

#96 Look What They’ve Done To My Song, Ma (The New Seekers) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Look what they’ve done to my song, ma
Look at what they’ve done to my song, ma
It was the only thing I could do half right
And it’s turning out all wrong, ma, look
What they’ve done to my song🪄
Look what they’ve done to my song, ma
Look what they’ve done to my song, ma
It was the only thing I could do half right
Turning out all wrong, ma
Look what they’ve done to my song🪄
Look what they’ve done to my brain, ma
Look at what they’ve done to my brain
Well, they picked it like a chicken bone
And I think that I’m half insane, ma
Look what they’ve done to my song🪄
Oh, I wish that I could find a good book to live in
Oh, I wish that I could find a good book
Well, if I could find a real good book
I’d never have to come out and look at
What they’ve done to my song🪄
Ils ont changé ma chanson, ma
Ils ont changé ma chanson, ma
C’est la seule chose que je peux faire
Et ce n’est pas bon, ma
Ils ont changé ma chanson🪄
But maybe, it’ll all be all right, ma
Maybe, it’ll all be okay
Well, if the people are buying tears
Then I’m gonna be rich girl some day, ma
Look what they’ve done to my song🪄
Look what they’ve done to my song, ma-ma-ma
Look, look what they’ve done to my song
You know, they tied it up in a plastic bag
And then turned it upside down, oh ma-ma
Look at what they’ve done
Want to look at what they’ve done, oh ma-ma
Look what they’ve done to my song

#95 I’ll Never Fall in Love Again (Dionne Warwick) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
What do you get when you fall in love?
A guy with a pin to burst your bubble
That’s what you get for all your trouble
I’ll never fall in love again
I’ll never fall in love again🪄
What do you get when you kiss a guy?
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia
After you do, he’ll never phone ya
I’ll never fall in love again
Don’t you know that I’ll never fall in love again🪄
Don’t tell me what’s it all about
‘Cause I’ve been there and I’m glad I’m out
Out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I’m here to remind you🪄
What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get a life of pain and sorrow
So for at least until tomorrow
I’ll never fall in love again
No, no, I’ll never fall in love again🪄
I’m out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I’m here to remind you🪄
What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So for at least until tomorrow
I’ll never fall in love again
Don’t you know that I’ll never fall in love again
I’ll never fall in love again

#94 Woodstock (Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Well, I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, “Tell me, where are you going?”
And this he told me🪄
Said, “I’m going down to Yasgur’s Farm
Gonna join in a rock ‘n’ roll band
Got to get back to the land
Set my soul free”🪄
We are stardust, we are golden
We are billion-year-old carbon
And we’ve got to get ourselves
Back to the garden🪄
Well, then can I walk beside you?
I have come to lose the smog
And I feel myself a cog
In somethin’ turning🪄
And maybe it’s the time of year
Yes, and maybe it’s the time of man
And I don’t know who I am
But life is for learning🪄
We are stardust, we are golden
We are billion-year-old carbon
And we got to get ourselves
Back to the garden🪄
We are stardust, we are golden
We are billion-year-old carbon
And we got to get ourselves
Back to the garden🪄
By the time we got to Woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere was a song
And a celebration🪄
And I dreamed I saw the bomber jet planes
Riding shotgun in the sky
Turning into butterflies
Above our nation🪄
We are stardust, we are golden
We are caught in the devil’s bargain
And we’ve got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

Won’t you take me down to Memphis on a midnight ride
I wanna move
Playin’ in a travelin’ band
Yeah
Well, I’m flyin’ ‘cross the land tryin’ to get a hand

Well, I’m playin’ in a travelin’ band
I’m flyin’ ‘cross the land, tryin’ to get a hand
Playin’ in a travelin’ band
Oh wow
Hey

#78 Mississippi Queen (Mountain) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Mississippi queen
If you know what I mean
Mississippi queen
She taught me everything🪄
Went down around Vicksburg
Around Louisiana way
Lived the Cajun lady
Aboard the Mississippi Queen🪄
You know she was a dancer
She moved better on wine🪄
While the rest of them dudes were gettin’ their kicks
Boy, I beg your pardon, I was gettin’ mine🪄
Mississippi queen
If you know what I mean
Mississippi queen
She taught me everything🪄
This lady she asked me
If I would be her man
You know that I told her
I’d do what I can🪄
To keep her lookin’ pretty
Buy her dresses that shine🪄
While the rest of them dudes were makin’ their friends
Boy, I beg your pardon, I was loosin’ mine🪄
You know she was a dancer
She moved better on wine🪄
While the rest of them dudes were gettin’ their kicks
Boy, I beg your pardon, I was gettin’ mine🪄
Yeah, Mississippi queen

#76 It’s A Shame (The Spinners) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Ooh doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo🪄
It’s a shame
The way you mess around with your man
It’s a shame the way you hurt me
It’s a shame
The way you mess around with your man
I’m sitting all alone by the telephone
Waiting for your call, when you don’t call at all🪄
It’s a shame (Shame)
The way you mess around with your man
It’s a shame (Shame)
The way you play with my emotions
It’s a shame (Shame)
The way you mess around with your man
You’re like a child at play on a sunny day
‘Cause you play with love, and then you throw it away🪄
Why do you use me, try to confuse me
How can you stand to be so cruel?
Why don’t you free me from this prison?
Where I serve my time as your fool🪄
It’s a shame (Shame)
The way you mess around with your man
It’s a shame (Shame) the way you hurt me
It’s a shame (Shame)
The way you mess around with your man
I try to stay with you, show you love so true
But you won’t appreciate the love we try to make
Oh, it’s got to be a shame, uh🪄
Why do you use me, try to confuse me
How can you stand to be so cruel?
Why don’t you free me from this prison?
Serve my time as your fool🪄
Got to be a shame (Shame)
The way you mess around with your man
Ohhh, it’s a shame (Shame) the way you hurt me
Oh, It’s a shame, baby, baby (Shame)
The way you mess around with your man
You’ve got my heart in chains, and I must complain
I just can’t be content, oh look at that
Shame (Ow)🪄
It’s a shame (Shame)
It’s a shame the way you hurt me, yeah
Oww (Shame)
Got to
Got to
Got to
Got to be a shame, oh yeah

#75 I Just Can’t Help Believing (B.J. Thomas) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
… I just can’t help believing
When she smiles up soft and gentle
With a trace of a misty morning
And a promise of tomorrow in her eyes🪄
… And I just can’t help believing
When she’s lying close beside me
And my heart beats with the rhythm of her sigh🪄
… This time the girl is gonna stay
This time the girl is gonna stay
For more than just a day🪄
… And I just can’t help believing
When she slips her hand in my hand
And it feels so small and helpless
That my fingers fold around it like a glove🪄
… And I just can’t help believing
When she’s whispering her magic
And her tears are shining honey sweet with love🪄
… This time the girl is gonna stay
(This time the girl is gonna stay)
This time the girl is gonna stay
For more than just a day
… For more than just a day🪄
I just can’t help believing
I just can’t help believing
I just can’t help believing

#73 Up Around The Bend (Creedence Clearwater Revival) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
There’s a place up ahead and I’m going
Just as fast as my feet can fly
Come away, come away, if you’re going
Leave the sinking ship behind🪄
Come on the rising wind
We’re going up around the bend
Ooh🪄
Bring a song and a smile for the banjo
Better get while the getting’s good
Hitch a ride to the end of the highway
Where the neons turn to wood🪄
Come on the rising wind
We’re going up around the bend
Ooh🪄
You can ponder perpetual motion
Fix your mind on a crystal day
Always time for a good conversation
There’s an ear for what you say🪄
Come on the rising wind
We’re going up around the bend
Yeah🪄
Ooh🪄
Catch a ride to the end of the highway
And we’ll meet by the big red tree
There’s a place up ahead and I’m going
Come along, come along with me🪄
Come on the rising wind
We’re going up around the bend
Yeah🪄
Do-do-doo-do
Do-do-doo-do
Do-doo-do
Do-do-doo-do
Yeah
Do-do-doo-do
Do-do-doo-do

#71 Didn’t I (Blow Your Mind This Time) (The Delfonics) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
I gave my heart and soul to you, girl
Didn’t I do it baby, didn’t I do it baby?🪄
Gave you the love you never knew, girl
Didn’t I do it baby, didn’t I do it baby?🪄
I’ve tried so many times and that’s no lie
It seems to make you laugh each time I cry🪄
Didn’t I blow your mind this time, didn’t I?
Didn’t I blow your mind this time, didn’t I?
Listen🪄
I thought that heart of yours was true, girl
Now didn’t I think it baby, didn’t I think it baby?🪄
But this time I’m really leavin’ you, girl
Hope you know it baby, hope you know it baby🪄
Ten times or more, yes, I’ve walked out that door
Get this into your head, there’ll be no more🪄
Didn’t I blow your mind this time, didn’t I?
Didn’t I blow your mind this time, didn’t I?🪄
Didn’t I do it baby, didn’t I do it baby?
Didn’t I do it baby, didn’t I do it baby?🪄
Ten times or more, yes, I’ve walked out that door
Get this into your head, there’ll be no more🪄
Didn’t I blow your mind this time, didn’t I?
Didn’t I blow your mind this time, didn’t I?
I got to live you, baby🪄
Didn’t I blow your mind this time, didn’t I?
Didn’t I blow your mind this time, didn’t I?
