#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

#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

#9 Let It Be (The Beatles)👍🏼

Lyrics:
When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be🪄
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be🪄
And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be🪄
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be🪄
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be🪄
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be, be🪄
And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me
Shinin’ until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be🪄
And let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be🪄
And let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

#6 Ain’t No Mountain High Enough (Diana Ross) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
If you need me, call me
No matter where you are
No matter how far
Just call my name
I’ll be there in a hurry
On that you can depend and never worry🪄
No wind, (no wind)
No rain, (no rain)
Nor winter’s cold
Can stop me, babe
(Oh, babe) baby (baby)
If you’re my goal🪄
No wind, (no wind)
No rain, (no rain)
Can stop me, babe
If you wanna go🪄
I know, I know you must follow the sun
Wherever it leads
But remember
If you should fall short of your desires
Remember life holds for you one guarantee
You’ll always have me🪄
And if you should miss my lovin
One of these old days
If you should ever miss the arms
That used to hold you so close, or the lips
That used to touch you so tenderly
Just remember what I told you
The day I set you free🪄
Ain’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough
Ain’t no river wild enough
To keep me from you🪄
Ain’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough
(Say it again)
Ain’t no river wild enough
To keep me from you🪄
Ain’t no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me
Keep me from you🪄
Ain’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough
(Say it again)
Ain’t no river wild enough
To keep me from you🪄
Ain’t no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me
To keep me from you

#96 Laughing (The Guess Who) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
I should laugh, but I cry
Because your love has passed me by
You took me by surprise
You didn’t realize but I was waiting🪄
Time goes slowly, but carries on
And now the best years have come and gone
You took me by surprise
I didn’t realize that you were laughing🪄
’cause you’re doin’ it to me
(Laughing) it ain’t the way it should be
You took away everything I had, you put the hurt on me🪄
’cause you’re doin’ it to me
(Laughing) it ain’t the way it should be
You took away everything I had, you put the hurt on me🪄
I go alone now, calling your name
After losing at the game
You took me by surprise
I didn’t realize that you were laughing🪄
Time goes slowly, but carries on
And now the best years
The best years have come and gone
You took me by surprise
I didn’t realize that you were laughing🪄
’cause you’re doin’ it to me
(Laughing) it ain’t the way it should be
You took away everything I had, you put the hurt on me🪄
’cause you’re doin’ it to me
(Laughing) oh, what you doing to me?
You took away everything I had, you put the hurt on me, oh🪄
ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
(Laughing) ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
(Laughing) were you laughing at me?
(Laughing) were you laughing at me?🪄
oh, what you’re doin’ to me, girl?
(Laughing) I’m-a looking, you’re laughing
(Laughing) I’m-a looking, you’re laughing
(Laughing) you’re looking, I’m laughing
(Laughing)

#57 Runaway Child, Running Wild (The Temptations) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
You played hookie from school and you can’t go out to play, yeah
Mama said, for the rest of the week, in your room you gotta stay, yeah
Oh ho, now you feel like the whole world’s pickin’ on you
But deep down inside, you know it ain’t true
You’re in punishment
‘Cause your mother wants to raise you in the right way, yeah
But you don’t care
‘Cause you already made up your mind you wanna run away yeah
You’re on your way, runaway child, running wild
Runaway child running wild
Better go back home where you belong
Roaming through the city going nowhere fast, you’re on your own at last
Hey, it’s gettin’ late, where will you sleep?
You’re gettin’ kinda hungry, you forgot to bring something to eat
Oh, lost with no money you start to cry
But remember, you left home wantin’ to be grown, so dry your weeping eyes
Sirens screamin’ down neon lighted streets
You want your mama
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Are they looking for you?
You’re frightened and confused
I want my mama
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run
But she’s much too far away, she can’t hear a word you say
You’ve heard some frightening news on the radio
About little boys running away from home
And the parents don’t see them no more
You wanna stop to hitch a ride, I know
But your mama told you never trust a stranger
And you don’t know which way to go
Streets are dark and deserted, not a sound nor sign of life
Oh how you long to hear your mother’s voice, ’cause you’re lost and alone
But remember, you made the choice, runaway child, running wild
You better go back home where you belong
He he he, oh, runaway child, running wild
You better go back home where you belong
You’re lost in this great big city
Go back home where you belong
Not one familiar face, ain’t it a pity
Go back home where you belong
Oh, runaway child running wild
You better go back home where you belong
Oh yeah, my girl
Mama, mama, please, come and sit here by me
Oh but she’s much too far away, she can’t hear a word you say
Oh, you’re frightened and confused, which way will you choose
