#4 Honky Tonk Women (The Rolling Stones) 👍🏼

Lyrics
I met a gin-soaked, bar-room queen in Memphis
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride
She had to heave me right across her shoulder
‘Cause I just can’t seem to drink you off my mind🪄
It’s the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues🪄
I laid a divorcée in New York City
I had to put up some kind of a fight
The lady then she covered me with roses
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind🪄
It’s the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
It’s the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues🪄
It’s the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues

#3 I Can’t Get Next to You (The Temptations) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
I
Can turn the gray sky blue
I can make it rain, whenever I want it to, oh I
I can build a castle from a single grain of sand
I can make a ship sail, on dry land tell ’em yeah
But my life is incomplete and I’m so blue
‘Cause I can’t get next to you🪄
I can’t get next to you, babe (next to you)
I can’t get next to you (I just can’t get next you)
I can’t get next to you, babe
I can’t get next to you🪄
I
Can fly like a bird in the sky
Hey, and I can buy anything that money can’t buy
Oh, I
I can turn a river into a raging fire
I can live forever if I so desired🪄
Unimportant are all the things I can do
‘Cause I can’t get next to you🪄
I can’t get next to you, babe (no matter what I do)
I can’t get next to you
Uh-ya🪄
Ooo-ooo
Ooo-ooo
Chica boom, chica boom
Chica boom, boom, boom🪄
I can turn back the hands of time, you better believe I can
I can make the seasons change, just by waving my hand
Oh, I
I can change anything from old to new
The things I want to do the most, I’m unable to do🪄
Unhappy am I with all the powers I possess
‘Cause girl you’re the key to my happiness
And I🪄
Can’t get next to you🪄
Girl, you’re blowing my mind ’cause I can’t get (next to you)
Can’t you see these tears I’m crying? I can’t get (next to you)
Girl, it’s you that I need, I gotta get (next to you)
Can’t you see these tears I’m crying? I can’t get (next to you)
I, I, I, I, I can’t get (next to you)
I, I, I, I, I can’t get (next to you)
Girl, you’re blowing my mind

When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars🪄
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius

#100  Never Give You Up (Jerry Butler) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
… Never gonna give you up
No matter how you treat me
Never gonna give you up
So don’t you think of leavin’🪄
… Girl, you treat me bad and I know why
Yeah, I’ve seen you runnin’ around with another guy
And you think if you hurt me that I’ll go away
Made it up in my mind that I’m here to stay🪄
… So tell him
(Never gonna give you up)
Whisper in his ear
(No matter how you treat me)
You tell him that Jerry said he’ll never let you go (never gonna give you up)
(So don’t you think of leavin’)
Hey, don’t you understand
What you’re doing to the man?🪄
… Do you see these tears here in my eyes?
Ain’t no use in me lyin’ ’cause I really cried
You think you’re gonna take me and put me on the shelf
Girl, I’d rather die than see you with somebody else🪄
… So throw it out of your mind (never gonna give you up)
I’ll never leave you (no matter how you treat me, never gonna give you up)
Though you grieve me and deceive me, yeah (so don’t you think of leavin’)
Hey, don’t you understand
What you’re doing to the man?🪄
… My friends all say that I’m your fool
And you’re using me like a carpenter uses a tool
And I know their intentions are all very good
Some of them would help me if they could🪄
… But I’m never gonna give you up
Never, never, never, never let you go
(No matter how you treat me)
No matter what you say (never gonna give you up)
(So don’t you think of leavin’)
Baby, don’t you understand
That you’re killing this man?🪄
… never gonna give you up
(No matter how you treat me) no matter what you do to me, baby now
(So don’t you think of leavin’) one of these days
I’ll be always standing around the door (never gonna give you up)
(No matter how you treat me)
Even though you say that you don’t love me no more (never gonna give you up)

#99  Hey, Western Union Man (Jerry Butler) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Oh, western union man send a telegram to my baby
Send a telegram, send a telegram, oh
Send a telegram to my baby
This is what I want you to say🪄
I want you to tell her that I’m all alone
I tried to call her on the phone
Tell her I’m in misery and think she’s avoiding me
And if the telegram don’t do
Send a box of candy too and maybe some flowers🪄
Tell her that I miss her for hours and hours
Send a telegram, send a telegram
Hurry up, send a telegram, man, to my baby
Do you hear what I say🪄
Oh, western union man, send a telegram
Oh, send a telegram to my baby
Western union man, hey, send a telegram, oh
Send a telegram, send a telegram, oh
Send a telegram, man, to my baby
This is what I want you to do🪄
Listen, tell me, have you got a boy you can send
This is what I want him to do
Put him on his bike right away
See if he can get my message through
Maybe tomorrow but mail it right away🪄
I want the girl to know that I missed her
Something like yesterday
Send a telegram, send a telegram, oh
Send a telegram, man, to my baby
Do you hear what I say🪄
Oh western union man why don’t you send a telegram
Well send a telegram to my baby
Western union man, send a telegram
Oh send a, send a telegram, send it
Send it, send it, send it, right on to my baby
Do you hear what I say🪄
Hey western union man, send a telegram, oh
Send a telegram to my baby, hey

#98  Bend Me, Shape Me (The American Breed) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
You are all the woman I need
And baby, you know it (know it, know it, know it)
You can make this beggar a king
A clown or a poet (poet, poet, poet)
I’ll give you all that I own
You’ve got me standing in line
Out in the cold
Pay me some mind🪄
Bend me, shape me
Anyway you want me
‘Long as you love me
It’s all right
Bend me, shape me
Anyway you want me
You got the power
You to turn on the light🪄
Everybody tells me I’m wrong
To want you so badly (badly, badly, badly)
But there’s a force driving me on
I follow it gladly (gladly, gladly, gladly)
So, let them laugh, I don’t care
‘Cause I got nothing to hide🪄
All that I want
Is you by my side🪄
Bend me, shape me
Any way you want me
‘Long as you love me
It’s all right
Bend me, shape me
Any way you want me
You got the power
To turn on the light🪄
And bend me, shape me
Any way you want me
‘Long as you love me
It’s all right
Bend me, shape me
Any way you want me
You got the power
To turn on the light

#96 Piece of My Heart (Big Brother & The Holding Company and Janis Joplin) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on🪄
Didn’t I make you feel like you were the only man? Yeah
And didn’t I give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can?
Honey, you know I did
And each time I tell myself that I, well I think I’ve had enough
But I’m gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough🪄
I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby (whoa, break it)
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah (whoa, have a)
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby
You know you got it if it makes you feel good
Oh, yes indeed🪄
You’re out on the streets looking good
And baby, deep down in your heart, I guess you know that it ain’t right
Never, never, never, never, never, never hear me when I cry at night
Babe, and I cry all the time
But each time I tell myself that I, well I can’t stand the pain
But when you hold me in your arms, I’ll sing it once again🪄
I said come on, come on, come on, come on and take it
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby
Well, you know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good🪄
I need you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby (whoa, break it)
Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, c’mon now (whoa, have a)
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby
You know you got it, whoa🪄
Take it
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby (whoa, break it)
Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (whoa, have a)
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, hey
You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good

#95 Sealed With A Kiss (Gary Lewis & The Playboys) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
‘Tho we gotta say goodbye for the summer
Darling I promise you this
I’ll send you all my love every day in a letter
Guess it’s gonna be a cold lonely summer
But I’ll fill the emptiness
I’ll send you all my love every day in a letter
I’ll see you in the sunlight
I’ll hear your voice everywhere
I’ll run to tenderly hold you
But darling you won’t be there
I don’t wanna say goodbye for the summer
Knowing the love we’ll miss
Oh let us make a pledge to meet in September
And seal it with a kiss
Guess it’s gonna be a cold lonely summer
But I’ll fill the emptiness
I’ll send you all my love every day in a letter
