For What It's Worth lyrics - Cher

(originally by Buffalo Springfield)

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away
We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

(Just Enough To Keep Me) Hangin' On lyrics - Cher

It's true, you got me wrapped around your finger
Ah honey, it seems that's where I belong
You know how to hold me, thrill me and control me
Just enough, just enough to keep me hangin' on
Ah honey, just enough, just enough to keep me hangin' on
My heart is like a yo-yo string
I'm tied to you, I'm tied to you right or wrong
My love keeps on growing
Cause your love keeps right on showing
Just enough, just enough to keep me hangin' on
Oh baby, just enough, just enough to keep me hangin' on
A love as true as mine will make you do most anything
Like hiding tears and heartaches
And dreaming all those silly dreams
Ah honey, you got me, you got me where you want me
And you keep me stringing along
Just enough, just enough to keep me hangin' on
Ah baby, just enough, just enough to keep me hangin' on
Ah honey, just enough, just enough to keep me hangin' on
Oh tell me why, just enough

(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay lyrics - Cher


(originally by Otis Redding)


Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watchin' the ships roll in
Then I watch 'em roll away again
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide, roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
I had nothin' to live for
Looks like nothin's gonna come my way
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time

Looks like nothin's gonna change
Everything, everything remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll just remain the same

I'm sittin' here restin' my bones
Two thousand miles, I roam
Just to make this dock my home
I'm just gonna sit, on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You lyrics - Cher


(originally by Bob Dylan)


Throw my ticket out the window,
Throw my suitcase out there, too,
Throw my troubles out the door,
I don't need them any more
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.

I should have left this town this morning
But it was more than I could do.
Oh, your love comes on so strong
And I've waited all day long
For tonight when I'll be staying here with you.

Is it really any wonder
The love that a stranger might receive.
You cast your spell and I went under,
I find it so difficult to leave.

I can hear that whistle blowin',
I see that stationmaster, too,
If there's a poor boy on the street,
Then let him have my seat
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.

Throw my ticket out the window,
Throw my suitcase out there, too,
Throw my troubles out the door,
I don't need them any more
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.

I Threw It All Away lyrics - Cher

(originally by Bob Dylan)

I once held him in my arms
He said he would always stay
But I was cruel
I treated him like a fool
Don't you know I threw it all away

Once I had mountains
In the palm of my hand
And rivers that ran through everyday
I must have been mad
I never knew what I had
Until I threw it all away
Until I threw it all away

Love is all there is
It makes the world go around
Love and only love
It can't be deny
No matter what you think about it
You can't do without it
Take a tip from one who's tried

So if you find someone
Gives you all his love
Take it to your heart
Don't let it stray
Ah one thing's for certain
You're surely gonna be hurtin'
If you throw it all away
If you throw it all away

I Walk On Guilded Splinters lyrics - Cher

Some people think they jive me, but I know they must be crazy
They can't see their misfortune, or else they're just too lazy
Je suie le grand zombie
With my yellow chaffen of choisen
Ain't afraid of no tomcat and gonna fill my guts with poison
I walk through the fire
And I'll fly through the smoke
I wanna see my enemies
On the end of my rope
Walk on pins and needles
And I see what they can do
Walk on guilded splinters
With the King of the Zulu

Come to me, get it, come, come
Walk on guilded splinters
Come to me, get it, come, come
Walk on guilded splinters
Till I burn up
Till I burn up
Till I burn up
Till I burn up

When I roll out in my coffin
Drink poison in my chalice
Pride begins to fade
And you all feel my malice
I put gris-gris on your doorstep
So soon you be in the gutter
I'll make your heart melt like butter
I say I can make you stutter

Come to me, get it, come, come
Walk on guilded splinters
Come to me, get it, come, come
Walk on guilded splinters
Till I burn up
Till I burn up
Till I burn up
Till I burn up

Come to me, get it, come, come
Walk on guilded splinters
Come to me, get it, come, come
Walk on guilded splinters
Till I burn up
Till I burn up
Till I burn up
Till I burn up

Come to me, get it, come, come
Walk on guilded splinters
Come to me, get it, come, come
Walk on guilded splinters
Till I burn up
Till I burn up
Till I burn up
Till I burn up

Lay Baby Lay lyrics - Cher


(originally by Bob Dylan)


Lay baby lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Lay baby lay
Lay across my big brass bed

Whatever colors you have in your mind
I gonna show them to you
And I'll make them shine
Lay baby lay
Lay across my big brass bed

Stay baby stay
Stay with your woman awhile
Till the break of day
Let me see you make me smile

Your clothes are dirty
But your hands are clean
And you're the best thing
That I ever seen
Stay baby stay
Stay with your woman awhile

Why wait any longer
For the world to begin
You can have your cake
And eat it too
Why wait any longer
For the one you love
When she standing in front of you
So stay baby stay
Stay across my big brass bed
Lay baby lay
Lay while the night is still ahead

I long to see you in the morning light
I want to reach for you in the night
So stay baby stay
Stay across my big brass bed
Lay baby lay
Lay while the night is still ahead
Ah lay baby lay
Lay across my big brass bed

Please Don't Tell Me lyrics - Cher

Ya shook the override 
Why'd I get this far this time 
A ton of more I mean 
Ridin' hell and the mile this time I see 

Drift machine ago 
It's one you'll never know 

An hour lates too soon 
Surround the stop right through 
A sound far too long 
Explode, fail and see goin' to and I'm gone 

Drift machine ago 
It's one you'll never know

Cry Like A Baby lyrics - Cher

When I think about the good love you gave to me
I cry like a baby
Living without you is driving me crazy
I cry like a baby
Lord knows now that you're not a plaything
Not a toy or a puppet on a string

When I think about a love so sweet now
I cry like a baby
Every road is a lonely street now
I cry like a baby
Lord knows now that I'm not a plaything
Not a toy or a puppet on a string

Today we passed on the street
And you just walked on by
My heart just fell to my feet
And once again I began to cry

When I think about the good love you gave to me
I cry like a baby
Living without you is driving me crazy
I cry like a baby
Lord knows now that you're not a plaything
Not a toy or a puppet on a string

When I think about a love so sweet now
I cry like a baby
You left done a lot of running
I cry like a baby
When I think about a love so sweet now
I cry like a baby

Do Right Woman, Do Right Man lyrics - Cher

Take me to heart
And I'll always love you
And nobody can make me do wrong
Take me for granted
Leaving love unshown
Makes will power weak
And temptation strong

A woman's only human
You should understand
She's not just a plaything
She's flesh and blood
Just like her man
If you want a do right all's day woman
You gotta be a do right all's night man

They say it's a man's world
But you can't prove that by me
And as long as we're together
Show some respect for me
If you want a do right all's day woman
You gotta be a do right all's night man

A woman's only human
You should understand
She's not just a plaything
She's flesh and blood
Just like her man
If you want a do right all's day woman
You gotta be a do right all's night man

If you want a do right all's day woman
You gotta be a do right all's night man
If you want a do right all's day woman
You gotta be a do right all's night man

Save The Children lyrics - Cher

Don't look over my shoulder, I'm trying to read.
Remember these intimate moments; don't forget my privacy.
We both have our orders and a trick up the sleeve.
There's no use pretending you're asleep...
The subject was roses: quine geology.
Deliberate notice you're taking of me.
Caution and danger are not family.
Don't try turning the tables on me!
Too long and too lonely...
For your eyes only, secretly.
Enjoy the paradox: you thinking I'm the fox.
Can't ya see you personally?
So many people know who you are
and they know you've been looking for your counterpart.
We're chasing an echo in sonic 3-D
and if I laugh without joking, make believe.
Too long and too lonely...
For your eyes only, totally.
I like what you're showing.
For your eyes only, secretly.
For your eyes only.

Easy To Be Hard lyrics - Cher

How can people be so heartless
How can people be so cruel
Easy to be hard
Easy to be cold

How can people have no feelings
How can they ignore their friends
Easy to be proud
Easy to say no

Especially people who care about strangers
Care about evil and social injustice
Do you only care about the bleeding crowd
How about a needing friend

How can people be so heartless
How can people be so cruel
Easy to give in
Easy to help out

How can people have no feelings
How can they ignore their friends
Easy to be cold
Easy to be proud
Easy to say no
Easy to be proud
Easy to be cold
Easy to say no
Easy to be proud

I Believe lyrics - Cher

I believe for every drop of rain that falls
A flower grows
I believe somewhere in the darkest night
A candle glows
I believe for everyone that goes astray
Someone will come to show the way
I believe, oh I believe

I believe above the storms
The smallest prayer will be heard
I believe someone in the great somewhere
Hears every word
Every time I hear a new born baby cry
Or touch the leaves or when I see the sky
Then I know why

I believe, I believe
I believe, I believe
I believe in the man
I believe in the man
I believe in the man
I believe in the man

Touch a baby and see it smile
And pick a flower and I wonder why
Just look at the sun up in the sky
And then
I believe in the man
Got to believe in the man
I believe in the man
Got to believe in the man
I believe in the man
Got to believe in the man

He gave me everything I got today
And he gave me a baby
Made me bless the day
He gave me a man
That loves me more than I ever knew
I could love before
Yes I

I believe in the man
Got to believe in the man
I believe in the man
Got to believe in the man
I believe in the man
Got to believe in the man
I believe in the man
Got to believe in the man

I believe in the man
I believe in the man
I believe, I believe

Danny Boy lyrics - Cher

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the roses are dying
It's you, It's you must go and I must bide

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
For I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so

But when ye come and all the flowers are a dying
And if I am dead, dead I well may be
Just come and find, find the place
Find the place where I lay lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me

And I will hear tho soft you tread above me
And my grave, my grave warmer and sweeter be
For you're gonna kneel and you're gonna tell
God you're gonna tell me how you loved me
And I will sleep in peace until you come to me

Momma, Look Sharp lyrics - Cher

Momma, hey momma
Come looking for me
I'm here in the meadow
By the red maple tree

Momma, hey momma
Look sharp
Here I'll be
Hey, hey momma, look sharp

Them soldiers they fired
Oh ma did we run
But when we turn around
The battle be dark
Then I went under
Ah ma, am I done
Hey, hey momma, look sharp

My eyes are wide open
My face to the sky
Is that you, I'm hearing
In the tall grass near by
Ah momma come and find me
Before I do die
Hey, hey momma, look sharp

I'll close your eyes, my baby
Them eyes that can not see
And I'll bury you, my Billy
Beneath the maple tree
And never again
Will you whisper to me
Hey, hey, oh momma, look sharp

It Gets Me Where I Want To Go lyrics - Cher

It gets me where I wanna go
A ride around the world
Just around the corner
In his eyes
It gets me where I wanna go
A vision of my day dreams
About what the good life means
In my eyes
Too many sad eyes are open for me now
Too many dreams of life
Dissolved and into dust
Too many moments lost
The price ain't worth the cost
Too many wasted thoughts of loving
And leaving you
Taste of life, I have with you
It gets me where I wanna go
A ride around the world
Just around the corner
In his eyes
In his eyes
In his eyes

You've Made Me So Very Happy lyrics - Cher

(originally by Brenda Holloway)

I've lost at love before
Got mad and closed the door
But you said child just once more
I chose you for the one
Now we're having so much fun
You treated me so kind
I'm about to lose my mind
You made me so very happy
I'm so glad you came into my life

The others were untrue
But when it came to loving you
I spend my whole life with you
Cause you came and took control
You touched my very soul
You always showed me that
Loving you was where it's at
You made me so very happy
I'm so glad you came into my life

Thank you baby, yeah
I love you so much you see
Even in my dreams
I can hear you
Baby I can hear you calling me
I'm so in love with you
All I ever wanna do is
Just thank you baby
Thank you baby
You made me so very happy
You made me so very happy
I'm so glad you came into my life
You made me so very happy
I'm so glad you came into my life

Yours Until Tomorrow lyrics - Cher

Tonight I hold to nothing
But the feelings in my soul
My heart overflows with emotions
I just can't control
There's someone you are going to
But tonight I just can't tell right from wrong

Let me be yours until tomorrow
Let me be yours until tomorrow
Give me one night of your life
Just be mine till the dawn

Tomorrow the real world
Will come crashing down on me
I know I must lose you
That's the way it has to be
But tonight I see no boundaries
So I beg you before my chance is gone

Let me be yours until tomorrow
Let me be yours until tomorrow
Give me one night of your life
So I can go on

Till the dawn's intrusion
Starts us with illusion
Make believe you're mine, love
This is not goodbye, love
All I ask is one night
Till the morning sun light
Won't you stay here in my arms
And baby

Let me be yours until tomorrow
Let me be yours until tomorrow
Let me be yours until tomorrow
Let me be yours until tomorrow

The Thought Of Loving You lyrics - Cher

The thought of loving you
The way I'm longing to
A thousand hopeful dreams I've had
Are finally coming true
I use to put you on a pedal stool
Where you became untouchable
But now we touch
And not so much is possible

Just be near to you
Would be enough for me
The many years without your love
Has been so rough on me
But now a change is taking place in me
I have found someone, who's faith in me
Has given me the strength
I needed so desperately
In my darkness, you turn on the light
My illusions vanished over night

The thought of loving you, is now reality
The thousand dreams I had
We're nowhere near to how it could be
For as we melted love so beautiful
I never felt so wonderful
The thought of loving you
The way I'm longing to
And now, right now
Right now, right now, right now

The First Time lyrics - Cher

Oh I heard a rooster crow
I think I better go
Never been out this late before
Please don't think I'm a bore
But will I see you anymore

Say have you got a comb that I can use
I'm sure I look like real bad news
Like I really been abused
Don't get me wrong when I ask before
If I'll see you anymore

I don't know if I should laugh or cry
Do you want to kiss me goodbye?
Or was I just another try
You're a funny kinda guy
Don't know what I'll say
When they ask me why

Oh I heard a rooster crow
I think I better go
Never been out this late before
I know when I walk outside your door
I won't see you anymore

Chastity's Song (Band Of Thieves) lyrics - Cher

Wind up when a band of thieves
Making my way across town
Lost in a manner of speech
Making my way across town
What about the good life
That I have been expecting for so long
What about the good life
Hush about my lonesome child
Don't cha cry
Momma's gonna bring you something
Gonna get you high
Never you mind how I came here
I just knew someone was laying here
Cause you buy
So long I carried this load
Feel like I never been born
So long I traveled this road
Feel like I'm really worn
What about the good life
That I have been expecting for so long
What about the good life
Hush about my lonesome child
Don't cha cry
Momma's gonna bring you something
Gonna get you high
Never you mind how I came here
I just knew someone was laying here
Cause you buy
So long I carried this load
Feel like I never been born
So long I traveled this road
Feel like I'm really worn
What about the good life
That I have been expecting for so long
What about the good life
What about the good times
What about the good times
What about the good times
What about the good times
What about the good times
What about the good times
What about the good times
What about the good times

Superstar lyrics - Cher


(originally by Delaney & Bonnie)


Long ago and so far away
Ah I fell in love with you
Before the second show
Oh honey your guitar
Ah it sounds so sweet and clear
Ah but you're really not here
Cause it's just the radio

Ah don't you remember
You told me you love me baby
Ah you said you'd be coming back
My way again baby
Ooh baby, ooh baby
I love you, I really do

Oh loneliness of my God
Loneliness is such a sad affair
Oh and baby I can hardly wait
Oh don't you know I'm so hard up
I wanna sleep with you again
Oh but what's to say
Oh what's to say to bring
You back again, baby
Come back and play
Ooh do it to me baby
Do, do it to me
On your sad guitar

Ah don't you remember
You told me you love me baby
Ah you said you'd be coming back
My way again baby
Ooh baby, ooh baby
I love you, I really do

"Backstage" (1968)




Go Now lyrics - Cher


(originally by Bessie Banks)


We've already said...goodbye.
Since you gotta go, oh, you had better go now.
Go now, go now.
Go now.
Before you see me cry.
I don't want you to tell me just what you intend to do now.
'Cause how many times do I have to tell you, darlin' darlin',
I'm still in love with you now.
Whoaaa.

We've already said...so long.
I don't want to see you go, oh, you had better go now.
Go now, go now.
Go now.
Don't you even try.
Telling me that you really don't want it to end this way.
But, darlin' darlin', can't you see I want you to stay.
Yeahhh.

Since you gotta go, oh, you had better go now.
Go now, go now.
Go now.
Before you see me cry.
I don't want you to tell me just what you intend to do now.
But how many times do I have to tell you, darlin' darlin',
I'm still in love, still in love with you now.

I don't wanna see you go, but darlin', you'd better go now.

Carnival lyrics - Cher

I'll sing to the sun in the sky,
I'll sing till the sun rises high,
Carnival time is here,
Magical time of year,
And as the time draws near,
Dreams lift my heart!

I'll sing as I play my guitar,
I'll cling to a dream from afar,
Will love come my way,
This Carnival day,
And stay here in my heart?

Will true love come my way,
On this Carnival day,
Or will I be alone with my dream?

It All Adds Up Now lyrics - Cher

The way you look at her
Is the way you use to look at me
When things were different
Too many changes have gone down
Strange vibrations all around
Makes me think perhaps
Our love ain't right
So ask your heart and soul
They will surely know
If you still love me
No break down is too big
For you not to dig
The kind of love I'm putting down

It all adds up now
Two and two are really four
It all adds up now
My heart knows the score

Put me in your loving bag
Please don't say I am a drag
I gave you more than life itself
So if you can walk away
Love will come another day
In a new disguise
Maybe you're the kind of guy
All you want to do is make me cry
Sometimes I wonder why today
