Living In A House Divided lyrics - Cher

Look at us the picture of happiness
Not so long ago, Ah, not so very long ago
The price of all our friends
The perfect couple were we
Is this how it will end?
Just a sad sad story.

[CHORUS:]
Living in a house divided
With a love that's so onesided
There's no chance at all
The walls have got to fall
Tumbling down

Look at us the King and Queen of emptiness
Living inside our castle of loneliness
Unable to make amends
Such perfect strangers are we
Is this how it will end?
Just a sad story.

[Repeat chorus]

It Might As Well Stay Monday (From Now On) lyrics - Cher

Here it is again Monday morning 
And I really got the blues 
But it don't much matter 
I got no need to smile 
And I don't think I will for quit awhile 

So it might as well stay Monday from now on 
Cause it seems that the only one I ever love is gone 
And it just might as well stay Monday from now on 

Go away mister sun I can't use you 
Brighten someone else's life 
Let the darkest hide me and carry off my pain 
For there's nothing you can do, nothing you can do, 
Nothing you can do to make things change 

So it might as well stay Monday from now on 
Cause it seems that the only one I ever love is gone 
And it just might as well stay Monday from now on 

Let the darkest hide me and carry off my pain 
For there's nothing you can do, nothing you can do, 
Nothing you can do to make things change 
And it might as well stay Monday from now on 
Might as well stay Monday from now on

Song For You lyrics - Cher


(originally by Leon Russell)


I've been so many places in my life and time
Sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhyme
I got out my life in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now I'm singing this song
Singing this song for you

I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but darling can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Darling can you please see through me
Cause we're alone now
And I'm singing this song for you

You taught me precious secrets of the truth
We're only nothing
You came out in front when I was hiding
But now I'm so much better
And if my words can come together
Listen to the melody
Cause my love is in there hiding

I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
Singing this song, singing this song for you

Down, Down, Down lyrics - Cher

Every now and then 
I begin again 
I push the rock up the mountain 
Though I'm learning slow 
Now I think I know 
How to step aside 
When the rock begins to slide 

Down, down, down 
To the bottom of the valley 
Down, down, down 
But I know it won't crush me anymore 

Every now and then 
I think I see a friend 
I push the rock up the mountain 
Ah, getting close to what I never knew 
I just step aside 
When the rock begins to slide 

Down, down, down 
To the bottom of the valley 
Down, down, down 
But I know it won't crush me anymore 

Love's not a simple thing 
If you're all alone 
And finding someone to care 
And when you reach him 
He's not there 
It slides 

Down, down, down 
To the bottom of the valley 
Down, down, down 
But I know it won't crush me anymore 

Here I go again 
Faith has time to lend 
I push the rock up the mountain 
Hope it won't be just 
Another joke on me 
But I just step aside 
If the rock begins to slide

Don't Try To Close A Rose lyrics - Cher

They say that every thing you do
Turns out all wrong
That you're bound to lose
And you love me too much
Take me along

Ah baby don't ever try to close a rose
After it blooms to the tuned
Of a spring time day
It won't work any way
'cos once it knows the sun it grows
And keeps on growing
Knowing it must say goodbye
To the field and the sky

So don't you worry about me
You could never make me unhappy
Cause we both have been touched
By the spring time sun
We already won
As long as you want me
I'll be right there
But with a life time of hard times
We gotta love
Babe we can share

Ah baby don't ever try to close a rose
After it blooms to the tuned
Of a spring time day
It won't work any way
'cos once it knows the sun it grows
And keeps on growing
Knowing it must say goodbye
To the field and the sky

Ah baby don't ever try to close a rose
After it blooms to the tuned
Of a spring time day
It won't work any way
'cos once it knows the sun it grows
And keeps on growing
Knowing it must say goodbye
To the field and the sky

Let Me Down Easy lyrics - Cher

If you're gonna let me down, let me down easy
So I won't be too hurt after you're gone
And if you're gonna let me down ah set me down easy
From that special cloud you put me on
Let me down easy, let me down slow

And if you're gonna leave me
Ah honey please me a memory to soften up the fall
And if you're gonna let me down ah let me down easy
Ah baby please don't let me down at all
Let me down easy let me down slow

And if you're gonna let me down ah set me down easy
Ah baby please don't let me down at all
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down

If I Knew Then lyrics - CHer

The funny-face kid from down the street
Always very close at hand
He was just a cowboy, I was lady gran
But I don't think I would have shot him down
If I knew then what I know now

High school days and puppy love
Learning what it's all about
He was kinda akward, I was filling out
But I don't think that I would have played around
If I knew then what I know now

Too many years, too many chairs


Too many other things, too many men
Time and again I had to test my wings
No time for love, strings or wedding rings

A pretty young girl from baltimore
Got herself a real good man
Once he was a cowboy who wanted lady gran
And I know that I would have made that now

If I knew then what I know now
Once he was a cowboy who wanted lady gran
And I know that I would have made that vow
If I knew then what I know now

Don't Hide Your Love lyrics - Cher

You never give yourself completely
It's just that you've been hurt before
You're so afraid to let me love you
You never leave an open door

Don't judge me by some other lover
Who broke your heart and walked away
Come, let's be fair with one another
My world is yours, I swear it
Say the word and we can share it

Don't hide your love (don't hide your love)
Not if you care for me (not if you care for me)
It isn't fair for me 
To worry and wonder and wait
Don't hide your love (don't hide your love)
Just love me here and now (just love me here and now)
We'll work it out somehow 
Don't you keep us apart
Baby, unklock your heart
Don't hide your love

Well I know the past has brought you sorrow
The clouds still hang around today
But don't let the rain fall on tomorrow
Baby, we can make it together
'Cause I'm gonna love you forever

Don't hide your love (don't hide your love)
Not if you care for me (not if you care for me)
It isn't fair for me 
To worry and wonder and wait
Don't hide your love (don't hide your love)
Just love me here and now (just love me here and now)
We'll work it out somehow 
Don't you keep us apart
Baby, unklock your heart
Don't hide your love

Never Been To Spain lyrics


(originally by Three Dog Night)


Well I never been to Spain
But I kinda like the music
Say the ladies are insane there
And they sure know how to use it
The don't abuse it
Never gonna lose it
I can't refuse it

Well I never been to England
But I kinda like the Beatles
Well, I headed for Las Vegas
Only made it out to Needles
Can you feel it
It must be real it
Feels so good
Oh, feels so good

Well I never been to heaven
But I been to Oklahoma
Well they tell me I was born there
But I really don't remember
In Oklahoma, not Arizona
What does it matter
What does it matter

Well I never been to Spain
But I kinda like the music
Say the ladies are insane there
And they sure know how to use it
They don't abuse it
Never gonna lose it
I can't refuse it

Well I never been to heaven
But I been to Oklahoma
Well they tell me I was born there
But I really don't remember
In Oklahoma, not Arizona
What does it matter
What does it matter

The Way Of Love lyrics - Cher

(originally by Kathy Kirby)

When you meet a boy
That you like a lot
And you fall in love
But he loves you not

If a flame should start
As you hold him near
Better keep your heart
Out of danger, dear

For the way of love
Is a way of woe
And the day may come
When you'll see him go

Then what will ya do
When he sets you free
Just the way that you
Said goodbye to me

When you meet a boy
That you like a lot
And you fall in love
But he loves you not

If a flame should start
As you hold him near
Better keep your heart
Out of danger, dear

For the way of love
Is a way of woe
And the day may come
When you'll see him go

Then what will ya do
When he sets you free
Just the way that you
Said goodbye to me

That's the way of love
The way of love

Gypsies, Tramps And Thieves lyrics - Cher

I was born in the wagon of a travellin' show 
My mama used to dance for the money they'd throw 
Papa would do whatever he could 
Preach a little gospel, sell a couple bottles of 
Doctor Good 

[CHORUS] 
Gypsys, tramps, and thieves 
We'd hear it from the people of the town 
They'd call us Gypsys, tramps, and thieves 
But every night all the men would come around 
And lay their money down 

Picked up a boy just south of 
Mobile Gave him a ride, filled him with a hot meal I was sixteen, he was twenty-one 
Rode with us to Memphis 
And papa woulda shot him if he knew what he'd done 

[CHORUS]

I never had schoolin' but he taught me well 
With his smooth southern style 
Three months later I'm a gal in trouble 
And I haven't seen him for a while, uh-huh I haven't seen him for a while, uh-huh 

She was born in the wagon of a travellin' show 
Her mama had to dance for the money they'd throw 
Grandpa'd do whatever he could 
Preach a little gospel, sell a couple bottles of 
Doctor Good 

[CHORUS]

He'll Never Know lyrics - Cher

They go off and leave me behind
They have so many words to find
I run to catch a glimpse of them
Just walking in the sun
Knowing they'll be mine again
When the evening has begun
And when I see them hand in hand
The boy who walks beside the man
I pray that I will always have the world
That I have found
The husband and the son
That I built my life around

He'll never know of that night long ago
He'll never know it's locked in my mind
No he'll never know
From the feelings I show
He'll never know
His son is only mine

Sometimes I lie awake at night
Watching darkest turn to light
Thinking back on all the things
I said to him today
Wondering if I might had a careless word to say
When the morning's almost here
He reaches out to draw me near
Silently I search his face for the love
I hope to see and once again
I'm sure that all his love belongs to me

He'll never know of that night long ago
He'll never know it's locked in my mind
No he'll never know
From the feelings I show
He'll never know
His son is only mine

Fire And Rain lyrics - Cher

Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone 
Susan the plans they made put an end to you 
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song 
I just can't remember who to send it to

I've seen fire and I've seen rain 
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end 
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend 
But I always thought that I'd see you again

Won't you look down upon me, Jesus 
You've got to help me make a stand 
You've just got to see me through another day 
My body's aching and my time is at hand 
And I won't make it any other way

Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain 
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end 
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend 
But I always thought that I'd see you again

Been walking my mind to an easy time my back turned towards the sun 
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn you head around 
Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come 
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground

Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain 
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end 
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend 
But I always thought that I'd see you, baby, one more time again, now 
Thought I'd see you one more time again

When You Find Out Where You're Goin' Let Me Know lyrics - Cher

When you find out where you're goin'
Let me know
Cause I love you just enough
To let you go

While you're running free and clear
Please don't disappear
When you find out where you're goin'
Let me know

When you find out where you're goin'
Count me in
And I'll never put you down
For where you been
And I'll join you when you find
That peace within your mind
When you find out where you're goin'
Let me know

I'm letting go for one night
And I know we'll be all right
Though he may never come back
When he leaves my bed tonight

When you find out where you're goin'
Let me know
And I promise I won't say I told you so
And when the time comes that you say
You finally found your way
Then no matter where you are
Be sure I know
Then no matter where you are
Be sure I know

He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother lyrics - Cher

The road is long, with many a winding turn 
That leads us to who knows where, who knows where
But I'm strong, strong enough to carry him 
He ain't heavy - he's my brother 

So on we go, his welfare is my concern
No burden is he to bare, we'll get there
For I know he would not encumber me
He ain't heavy - he's my brother

If I'm laden at all, I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart isn't filled with gladness of love for one another
It's a long long road from which there is no return 
While we're on our way to there, why not share
And the load, it doesn't weigh me down at all 
He ain't heavy - he's my brother 
He ain't heavy - he's my brother, he's my brother, he's my brother

I Hate To Sleep Alone lyrics - Cher

You were the only thing I had
How could a good love go so bad
Somehow I guess I should have known
That you would leave me here alone

They say you found somebody new
But that won't change my love for you
How could you leave me on my own
You know I hate to sleep alone

Remember how it used to be
When you were here with me
You were the only one I've known
And how I hate to sleep alone

Someday, some way, somebody new
Will make you feel the way that I do
But I just wish that you'd come home
You know that I hate to sleep alone

But I just wish that you'd come home
You know that I hate to sleep alone

I'm In The Middle lyrics - Cher

Don't makes no difference
If you lay down and cry
You know that you lied to me
And if you come to me
With tears in your eyes
Don't say good-bye
Just leave

Cause I'm in the middle of something
I don't understand
How can my reasons for living
Slip right through my hands
I'm in the middle of something
I don't understand
And if looks like I lose again

Don't make no difference
What you think of me
You know that I'm restless and afraid
And if you love me
I know that you will see
You can't keep me
To the promises that I made

Cause I'm in the middle of something
I don't understand
How can my reasons for living
Slip right through my hands
I'm in the middle of something
I don't understand
And if looks like I lose again

Don't make no difference
What you think about me
After all you took me for a ride
Now every night with you
I still seem to find
I just can't keep you satisfied

Cause I'm in the middle of something
I don't understand
How can my reasons for living
Slip right through my hands
I'm in the middle of something
I don't understand
And if looks like I lose again

Cause I'm in the middle of something
I don't understand
How can my reasons for living
Slip right through my hands
I'm in the middle of something
I don't understand
And if looks like I lose again

Touch And Go lyrics - Cher

I know we can make it baby
If only we try
Let's hang on to love
And don't let it die
Even though

It's been touch and go
Off and on
Weak and strong
But then we didn't know
That with hope, we could cope
With all the ups and downs
So please stay around
I need you so

I'd give you a bed of roses
Right here in my arms
But you got to take
The sweet with the thorns
And I know

It's been touch and go
Off and on
Weak and strong
But then we didn't know
That with hope, we could cope
With all the ups and downs
So please stay around
I need you so

It's been touch and go
Off and on
Weak and strong
But then we didn't know
That with hope, we could cope
With all the ups and downs
So please stay around
I need you so

It's been touch and go
Off and on
Weak and strong
But then we didn't know
That with hope, we could cope
With all the ups and downs
So please stay around
I need you so

One Honest Man lyrics - Cher

I can't find a four-leaf cover anymore
I could find it if I wanted to
I believe if you put your mind to something
Well there ain't anything in this world
You could not do

But I can't find one honest man
Why can't I find me one honest man
Don't understand

The only thing I ever wanted
Was a little bouquet of truth from him
But it gave me all the things
You can't build love on
And I am on the wrong side
Of a broken heart again

Why can't I find one honest man
Why can't I find me one honest man
Don't understand

If a little bitty candle
Can light of the darkness
Why can't it shine it's way through
I've been waiting a very, very, very long time
Ain't no man ever gonna be true

Don't understand
Ain't there a man for me

Why can't I find one honest man
Why can't I find me one honest man
Don't understand

Why can't I find one honest man
Why can't I find me one honest man
Don't understand

Why can't I find one honest man
Why can't I find me one honest man
Don't understand
