#30 Green-Eyed Lady (Sugarloaf) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Green-eyed lady, lovely lady
Strolling slowly towards the sun
Green-eyed lady, lovely lady
Soothing every raging wave that comes🪄
Green-eyed lady, passion’s lady
Dressed in love, she lives for life to be
Green-eyed lady feels life I never see
Setting suns and lonely lovers free🪄
Green-eyed lady, windswept lady
Moves the night, the waves, the sand
Green-eyed lady, lovely lady
Child of nature, friend of man🪄
Green-eyed lady, passion’s lady
Dressed in love, she lives for life to be
Green-eyed lady feels life I never see
Setting suns and lonely lovers free

#28 I Want You Back (The Jackson 5) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Uh-huh, huh, huh
Just let me tell you now
Uh-huh🪄
When I had you to myself, I didn’t want you around
Those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd
But someone picked you from the bunch, one glance was all it took
Now it’s much too late for me to take a second look🪄
Oh, baby, give me one more chance (to show you that I love you)
Won’t you please let me back in your heart
Oh, darlin’, I was blind to let you go (let you go, baby)
But now since I see you in his arms (I want you back)
Yes, I do now (I want you back)
Ooh, ooh, baby (I want you back)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (I want you back)
Na, na, na, na🪄
Trying to live without your love is one long sleepless night
Let me show you, girl, that I know wrong from right
Every street you walk on, I leave tear stains on the ground
Following the girl I didn’t even want around
Let me tell you now🪄
Oh, baby, all I need is one more chance (to show you that I love you)
Won’t you please let me back in your heart
Oh, darlin’, I was blind to let you go (let you go, baby)
But now since I see you in his arms, uh-huh🪄
Ah, buh bum, bum, bum
Ah, buh bum, bum, bum
All I want
Ah, buh bum, bum, bum
All I need
Ah, buh bum, bum, bum
All I want
Ah, buh bum, bum, bum
All I need🪄
Oh, just one more chance to show that I love you
Baby (baby)
Baby (baby)
Baby (baby)🪄
Forget what happened then (I want you back)
Let me live again🪄
Oh, baby, I was blind to let you go
But now since I see you in his arms
(I want you back)🪄
Spare me of this cause
Get back what I lost🪄
Oh, baby, I need one more chance, ha
I tell ya that I love you
Baby (oh), baby (oh), baby (oh)
I want you back, ha
I want you back

#27 All Right Now (Free) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
There she stood in the street
Smiling from her head to her feet
I said hey, what is this
Now baby, maybe she’s in need of a kiss
I said hey, what’s your name baby
Maybe we can see things the same
Now don’t you wait or hesitate
Let’s move before they raise the parking rate🪄
All right now baby, it’s all right now
All right now baby, it’s all right now🪄
I took her home to my place
Watching every move on her face
She said look, what’s your game baby
Are you tryin’ to put me in shame
I said slow don’t go so fast
Don’t you think that love can last
She said love, Lord above
Now you’re tryin’ to trick me in love🪄
All right now baby, it’s all right now
All right now baby, it’s all right now🪄
All right now baby, it’s all right now
All right now baby, it’s all right now🪄
All right now baby, it’s all right now
All right now baby, it’s all right now🪄
All right now baby, it’s all right now
All right now baby, it’s all right now

#25 Love On a Two-Way Street (The Moments) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
I found love on a two-way street
And lost it on a lonely highway (I lost love, I lost love)
Love on a two-way street (I found love)
And lost it on a lonely highway (I lost love, I lost love)🪄
True love will never die
So I’ve been told
But now I must cry
It is finally goodbye, I know, mmm🪄
With music softly playing
Her lips were gently saying (I love you), “I love you” (I love you)
She held me in desperation
I thought it was a revelation
And then she walked out🪄
How could I be so blind
To give up love the very first time
To be fooled is a hurting pain
To be loved then fooled is a crying shame
While I bear the blame
As she laughs my name🪄
With music softly playing
Her lips were gently saying
“Honey, I love you” (I love you, I love you)
She held me in desperation
I thought it was a revelation
And then she walked out🪄
I found love on a two-way street
And lost it on a lonely highway (I lost love, I lost love)
Love on a two-way street (I found love)
And lost it on a lonely highway (I lost love)

#22 Spirit In The Sky (Norman Greenbaum) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that’s the best
When I lay me down to die
Goin’ up to the spirit in the sky🪄
Goin’ up to the spirit in the sky (spirit in the sky)
That’s where I’m gonna go when I die (when I die)
When I die and they lay me to rest
I’m gonna go to the place that’s the best🪄
Prepare yourself you know it’s a must
Gotta have a friend in Jesus
So you know that when you die
He’s gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky (spirit in the sky)🪄
Oh he’ll recommend you to the spirit in the sky
That’s where you’re gonna go when you die (when you die)
When you die and they lay you to rest
You’re gonna go to the place that’s the best🪄
Never been a sinner, I never sinned
I got a friend in Jesus
So you know that when I die
He’s gonna set me up
with the spirit in the sky🪄
Oh set me up with the spirit in the sky (spirit in the sky)
That’s where I’m gonna go when I die (when I die)
When I die and they lay me to rest
I’m gonna go to the place that’s the best
Go to the place that’s the best

#20 Spill The Wine (Eric Burdon & War) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
I was once out strolling one very hot summer’s day
When I thought I’d lay myself down to rest
In a big field of tall grass
I laid there in the sun and felt it caressing my face
As I fell asleep and dreamed
I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie
And that I was the star of the movie
This really blew my mind🪄
The fact that me, an overfed long haired leaping gnome
Should be the star behind a Hollywood movie, hmm
There I was
I was taken to a place
The hall of the mountain kings
I stood high by the mountain tops
Naked to the world
In front of
Every kind of girl🪄
There was long ones, tall ones, short ones, brown ones
Black ones, round ones, big ones, crazy ones
Out of the middle, came a lady
She whispered in my ear
Something crazy
She said…🪄
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl🪄
I could feel hot flames of fire roaring at my back
As she disappeared, but soon she returned
In her hand was a bottle of wine
In the other, a glass
She poured some of the wine from the bottle into the glass
And raised it to her lips
And just before she drank it, she said🪄
Take the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl🪄
It’s on girl, all you gotta do is spill that wine
Spill that wine, let me feel, let me feel hot, yeah! Yeah!
Spill the wine, spill the wine, spill the wine, spill the wine
Spill the wine, spill the wine, spill the wine
Take that pearl!

#17 Cracklin’ Rosie (Neil Diamond) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Ah, Cracklin’ Rosie, get on board
We’re gonna ride ’til there ain’t no more to go
Taking it slow
And Lord, don’t you know
I’ll have me a time with a poor man’s lady🪄
Hitchin’ on a twilight train
Ain’t nothing here that I care to take along
Maybe a song
To sing when I want
Don’t need to say please to no man for a happy tune🪄
Oh, I love my Rosie child
You got the way to make me happy
You and me, we go in style
Cracklin’ Rose, you’re a store-bought woman
But you make me sing like a guitar hummin’
So hang on to me, girl
Our song keeps runnin’ on🪄
Play it now
Play it now, my baby🪄
Cracklin’ Rosie, make me smile
Girl, if it lasts for an hour, that’s all right
‘Cause we got all night
To set the world right
Find us a dream that don’t ask no questions, yeah🪄
Oh, I love my Rosie child
You got the way to make me happy
You and me, we go in style
Cracklin’ Rose, you’re a store-bought woman
But you make me sing like a guitar hummin’
So hang on to me, girl
Our song keeps runnin’ on🪄
Play it now
Play it now
Play it now, my baby🪄
Cracklin’ Rosie, make me smile
God, if it lasts for an hour, that’s all right
‘Cause we got all night
To set the world right
Find us a dream that don’t ask no questions🪄
