You Don't Have To Say You Love Me lyrics - Cher


(originally by Dusty Springfield)


When I said I needed you
You said you would always stay
It wasn't me who changed but you
And now you've gone away

Don't you see that now you're gone
And I'm left here on my own
That I have to follow you
And beg you to come home

You don't have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me believe me
I can't help but love you
But believe I will never tie you down

Left alone with your memory
Live seems dead and so do we
All that left is loneliness
There's nothing left to feel

You don't have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me believe me
I can't help but love you
But believe I will never tie you down

You don't have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me believe me
I can't help but love you
But believe I will never tie you down

I Feel Something In The Air (Magic In The Air) lyrics - Cher

(Somthing's In The Air)
I feel something in the air
Something that was never there
I feel something started to live in me
Something only God could give to me
Could give to me

I feel magic every where
Even though I'm supposed to care
About all the things that my neighbors
Will think of me and how I should act
When they said what a nice girl
I used to be, I used to be

My mom will say my god what've you done
I told you that boy was only a fun
My daddy will raise like a storm on the sea
Say now look what you've done to me
Even though I care, I feel magic in the air

What's a matter with you baby
Did you fall too hard when you fall in love
You fall in love
What's a matter with you baby
Did you fall too hard

I feel magic every where
Even though I'm supposed to care
About all the things that my neighbors
Will think of me and how I should act
When they said what a nice girl
I used to be, I used to be

Will You Love Me Tomorrow lyrics - Cher


(originally by The Shirelles)


Tonight you're mine completely 
You give your love so sweetly 
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes 
But will you love me tomorrow 

Is this a lasting treasure 
Or a moment's pleasure 
Should I believe the magic of your sigh 
Will you still love me tomorrow 

Tonight with words unspoken 
You say that I'm the only one 
But will my heart be broken 
When the night meets the morning's sun 

I like to know that your love 
Is a love I can be sure of 
So tell me now and I won't ask again 
Will you still love me tomorrow 

So tell me now and I won't ask again 
Will you still love me tomorrow 
Will you still love me tomorrow 
Will you still love me tomorrow

Until It's Time For You To Go lyrics - Cher


(originally by Buffy Sainte-Marie)


You're not a dream, you're not an angel
You're a man
I'm not a queen, I'm a woman
Take my hand
We'll make a space in the lives
That we'd planned
And here we'll stay
Until it's time for you to go

Yes, we're different worlds apart
We're not the same
We laughed and played at the start
Like in a game
You could have stayed outside my heart
But in you came
And here you'll stay
Until it's time for you to go

Don't ask why of me
Don't ask how
Don't ask forever
Love me, love me now

This love of mine had no beginning
It has no end
I was an oak, now I'm a willow
I can bend
And though I'll never in my life
See you again
Still, I'll stay
Until it's time for you to go

The Cruel War lyrics - Cher

The cruel war is raging
Sonny has to fight
I want to be with him
From morning till night

I want to be with him
It grieves my heart so
Won't you let me go with you
No my love no

Tomorrow is Sunday
Monday is the day
That your captain will call you
And you must obey
Your captain will call you
It grieves my heart so
Won't you let me go with you
No my love no

I'll tie back my hair
Men's clothing I'll put on
I'll pass as your conrad
As we march along
I'll pass as your conrad
No one will ever know
Won't you let me go with you
No my love no

Oh Sonny oh Sonny
I feel you are unkind
I love for better
Than all of mankind
I love you for better
Than words can ever express
Oh won't you let me go with you
Yes my love yes

Catch The Wind lyrics - Cher


(originally by Donovan)


In the chilly hours and minutes
Of uncertainty
I want to be
In the warm hold of
Your love and mine

To feel you all around me
And to take your hand
Along the sand
Ah, but I may as well try
And catch the wind

When the sundown pales the sky
I want hide a while
Behind your smile
Everywhere I look
Your eyes I'd find

For me to love you now
Would be the sweetest thing
It would make me sing
Ah, but I may as well try
And catch the wind

Oooooo

When rain has hung
The leaves with tears
I want you near
To kill my fears
And help me to leave all
My blues behind

Standing in your heart
Is where I wanna be
And long to be
Ah, but I may as well try
And catch the wind

Ooo

Ah, but I may as well try
And catch the wind

Ooo

Pied Piper lyrics - Cher

You with your masquerading
And you always contemplating what to do
To get happiness around you
Can't you see that it's all around you
So follow me

Yeah come on babe
Follow me
I'm the pied piper
Follow me
I'm the pied piper
And I'll show you
Where it's at
Come on babe
Can't you see
I'm the pied piper
Trust in me
I'm the pied piper
And I'll show you
Where life is at

Girl don't be scared to move
Hey babe what are you trying to prove
It ain't true that your life
Has tricked you with your mind
And that's all that's tricking you
So follow in line

Yeah come on babe
Follow me
I'm the pied piper
Follow me
I'm the pied piper
And I'll show you
Where it's at
Come on babe
Can't you see
I'm the pied piper
Trust in me
I'm the pied piper
And I'll show you
Where life is at

Homeward Bound lyrics - Cher


(originally by Simon And Garfunkel)


I'm sitting in the railway station.
Got a ticket to my destination.
On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand.
And ev'ry stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man band.
Homeward bound,
I wish I was,
Homeward bound,
Home where my thought's escaping,
Home where my music's playing,
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me.

Ev'ry day's an endless stream
Of cigarettes and magazines.
And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories
And ev'ry stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be,
Homeward bound,
I wish I was,
Homeward bound,
Home where my thought's escaping,
Home where my music's playing,
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me.

Tonight I'll sing my songs again,
I'll play the game and pretend.
But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me.
Homeward bound,
I wish I was,
Homeward bound,
Home where my thought's escaping,
Home where my music's playing,
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me.
Silently for me.

I Want You lyrics - Cher


(originally by Bob Dylan)


Guilty undertaker sighs
Lonesome organ grinder cries
Silver saxophone says
That I should wait for you
The crack bells and the washed out horns
Blowing into my face with scorn
That's not the way
I wasn't born to lose you

I want you, I want you
I want you so bad
Honey I want you

Drunken politicians leap upon the street
While mothers weep
And saviors were fast asleep
They wait for you
I wait for them to read your looks
While drinking from my broken cup
And ask me to open up the gate for you

I want you, I want you
I want you so bad
Honey I want you

I turn to the queen of spades
And talk to my chambermaid
She knows I'm not afraid to look at her
She is good to me
And there's nothing that she doesn't see
She knows where I like to be
But it doesn't matter

I want you, I want you
I want you so bad
Honey I want you

Now you're dancing child
With his Chinese suit
He spoke to me and I took his flute
I know I wasn't very cute to him was I
But I did it because you like
Because you took him for a ride
Because the time was on his side
And because

I want you, I want you
I want you so bad
Honey I want you

Alfie lyrics - Cher


(originally by Cilla Black)


What's it all about, Alfie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie?
Are we meant to take more than we give,
Or are we meant to be kind?
And if only fools are kind, Alfie
Then I guess it is wise to be cruel.
And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie, 
Will you lend on an old golden rule?
As sure as I believe, there's a heaven above, Alfie,
I know there's something much more,
Something even non-believers can believe in.
I believe in love, Alfie.
Without true love we just exist, Alfie.
Until you've found the love you've missed
You're nothing, Alfie.
When you walk, let your heart lead the way.
And you'll find love any day, Alfie.
Alfie.

"The Sonny Side Of Chér" (1966)




Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) lyrics - Cher

I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down

Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
Remember when we used to play

Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, you hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, I used to shoot you down

Music played and people sang
Just for me the church bells rang

Now he's gone I don't know why
And 'til this day, sometimes I cry
He didn't even say goodbye
He didn't take the time to lie

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down

A Young Girl (Une Enfante) lyrics - Cher

She left her neighborhood in which 
Everyone was filthy rich 
She left her parents at home 
And strayed with a bagabond 
Who made vows of love she never heard 
And she believed his every word 
She left no forwarding address 
She just took her youth and happiness 
And with the boy she vanished in 
The secret sweetness of their sin 

A young girl 
A young girl of sixteen 
Child of springtime still green 
Laying there by the road 

He told her love-demanded space 
So they roam place to place 
Although she realized she sinned 
She threw caution to the wind 
As she followed him around 
While he slowly dragged her down 
So overpowering was the love 
That he had made 
It captured all the young girl's hearts 
And soul and mine 
In another words love drove her blind 

A young girl 
A young girl of sixteen 
Child of springtime still green 
Laying there by the road 

Too much emotion for a girl 
She let her heart become her world 
A world that God has never wrought 
That brought us under we are taught 
Had she'd been wise and she had known 
She could of fed him love alone 
She should've know the day would come 
When he would quit her for fun 
He needed fresh young meat to carve 
And left her heart and mind to starve

Where Do You Go lyrics - Cher

Where do you go when you're too young. 
You found a world that's just begun. 
Who's gonna say don't stay too long, or right from wrong, who leads you on. 
Where do you go, I don't know. 
Ask your Mom but right now she's mad, the night before she fought your dad. 
She's help you out if she had the time, but your Dad is sad and your Mother's crying. 
Where do you go, I don't know. 
So you're down on your knees and you hope that helps. 
You just can't think of nothin' else. 
How do you pray and what do you say, let me know right away. 
God show me the way, where do you go, I don't know

Our Day Will Come lyrics - Cher


(originally by Ruby And The Romantics)


Our day will come 
And we'll have everything 
We'll share the joy 
Falling in love can bring 
No one can tell me 
That I'm too young to know 
I love you so and you love me 

Our day will come 
If we just wait a while 
No tears for us, 
Think love and wear a smile 
Our dreams have magic 
Because we'll always stay 
In love this way, 
Our day will come 

If we just wait a while 
Our dreams have magic 
Because we'll always stay 
In love this way, 
Our day will come 
Will come 
Will come

Elusive Butterfly lyrics - Cher


(originally by Bob Lind)


You might wake up some morning
To the sound of something moving
Pass your window in the wind
And if you're quick enough to rise
You'd met the fleeting glimpse
Of someone's fading shadows

Out on a new horizon
You may see the boat in motion
Of a distant carib wind
And if you need press your ear
You might hear footsteps running
Through an open meadow

Do be so concern it will not harm you
It's only mistress doing something
I'm not sure of
Cross my dreams with myths and wonders
I'll take the brightest elusive butterfly of love

You might have heard my footsteps echo softly
Through the distant, from canyons of your mind
I might have even called your name
As I ran safely after something to believe in

You might have see me running
Through the long abandon ruins
Of the dreams you left behind
If you remember something
They're the brightest path to follow close
I remember dreaming

Do be so concern it will not harm you
It's only mistress doing something
I'm not sure of
Cross my dreams with myths and wonders
I'll take the brightest elusive butterfly of love

Like A Rolling Stone lyrics - Cher


(originally by Bob Dylan)


Once upon a time you dressed so fine 
Threw the bums a dime 
In your prime, didn't you? 
People'd call, say Beware doll 
You're bound to fall 
You thought they were all kiddin you 
You used to laugh about 
Everybody that was hangin out 
Now you don't talk so loud 
Now you don't seem so proud 
About having to be scrounging 
For your next meal 

How does it feel, How does it feel 
To be without a home, 
With no direction known, 
Like a complete unknown, 
Like a rolling stone? 

You've gone to the finest school 
All right, Miss Lonely 
But you know you only used 
To get juiced in it 
And nobody has ever taught you 
How to live on the street 
And now you find out 
You're gonna have to get used to it 
You said you'd never compromise 
With the mystery tramp 
But now you realize 
He's not selling any alibis 
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes 
And ask him do you want to make a deal? 

How does it feel, How does it feel 
To be without a home, 
Like a complete unknown, 
With no direction home 
Like a complete unknown, 
Like a rolling stone? 

You never turned around to see 
The frowns on the jugglers and the clowns 
When they all come down 
And did tricks for you 
You never understood that it ain't no good 
You shouldn't let other people 
Get your kicks for you 
You used to ride on the chrome horse 
With your diplomat 
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat 
Ain't it hard when you discover that 
He really wasn't where it's at 
After he took from you everything 
He could steal 

How does it feel, How does it feel 
To be without a direction known, 
Without a home 
Like a complete unknown, 
Like a rolling stone?

Ol' Man River lyrics - Cher

Here we all work 'long the Mississippi 
Here we all work while the white folk play 
Pullin' them boats from the dawn till sunset 
Gettin' no rest till the judgment day 

Don't look up and don't look down 
Ya don't dast make the white boss frown 
Bend your knees and bow your head 
And pull that rope until you're dead 

Let me go 'way from the Mississippi 
Let me go 'way from the white man boss 
Show me that stream called the River Jordan 
That's the old stream that I long to cross 

Ol' Man River, that Ol' Man River 
He must know somepin', but he don't say nothin' 

He just keeps rollin', he keeps on rollin' along 

He don't plant taters, and he don't plant cotton 
And them what plants 'em is soon forgotten 
But Ol' Man River, jest keeps rollin' along 

You and me, we sweat and strain 
Bodies all achin' and wracked with pain 
Tote that barge and lift that bale 
Ya get a little drunk and ya lands in ja-ail 

I gets weary and so sick of tryin' 
I'm tired of livin', but I'm feared of dyin' 
And Ol' Man River, he just keeps rollin' along

Come To Your Window lyrics - Cher

I'm leaving in the quiet early morning
When night has left the sky
Before the dew is dry
But it's not like it used to be
I'm leaving you this warning
You're gonna live to see the day
You long for me
Come to your window
It ain't too late to come
Into your side again
Don't make me believe you
Before you let me have
A chance to try again
Or I'll be gone before
You ever know you're losing me
I know I've made mistakes
That bought you sorrow
But baby, keep in mind
You're not right all the time
Don't let me go away
To face a new tomorrow
Back where you bought me from
When I was glad to come

Come to your window
Look down and see the teardrops
In my desperate eyes
Look how I need you
I got to find a way to make you realize
That you are casting out
The deepest love you'll ever know
Please don't close your ears
To what I'm saying
Before I ride away into the early day
I spent the lonesome evening hours praying
That you will change your mind
And try me one more time
Come to your window
Before our love comes crashing
Into pieces on the ground
Don't let it happen
I promise you this time
I'll never let you down
Give me a cause to come
To your lonesome arms again

The Girl From Ipanema lyrics - Cher

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
Each one she passes goes a-a-h!

When she walks she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when she passes
Each one she passes goes a-a-h!

Ooh but I watch her so sadly
How can I tell her I love her
Yes I would give his heart gladly
But each day when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead not at me

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
I smile but she doesn't see
She never sees me

Ooh but I watch her so sadly
How can I tell her I love her
Yes I would give my heart gladly
But each day when she walks to the sea
She looks ahead not at me

Tall and tan and young and lonely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
I smile but she doesn't see

The Girl From Ipanema lyrics - Cher

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
Each one she passes goes a-a-h!

When she walks she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when she passes
Each one she passes goes a-a-h!

Ooh but I watch her so sadly
How can I tell her I love her
Yes I would give his heart gladly
But each day when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead not at me

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
I smile but she doesn't see
She never sees me

Ooh but I watch her so sadly
How can I tell her I love her
Yes I would give my heart gladly
But each day when she walks to the sea
She looks ahead not at me

Tall and tan and young and lonely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
I smile but she doesn't see
