In For The Night lyrics - Cher

Snuggle with me mama like you used to
Weather's kind of cold, but I don't care
Slip off your old red flannel nightgown
Getting to feel like fall
Hey we're a fallen pair

[Chorus:]
Well there's a bluebird
Flying home to Mobile
Camping in your cornfield for a while
Seems he just backed into a square meal
And he's in for the night

See that fine yellow moon a rising
Through the frost along the window pane
All of your shooting stars
Are in the wrong direction
Well I love you darling
But you just seem to change

[Chorus]

Strut with me mama like you used to
Weather's kind of cold, but I don't care
Slip off your old red flannel nightgown
Getting to feel like falling with a fallin' fare

[Chorus]

Shadow Dream Song lyrics - Cher

I meant to call her name
I meant to take her hand
I meant to be the same and understand
Just what was happening
In the evening
Between the princess and the prince
Oh yeah

I can't be bothered now
Cannot eat or drink
I can't remember how I used to think
What was that song she sang
In the morning
About the princess and the prince
Yeah, yeah

It's a crystal ringing way
She has about her in the day
She s a laughing dapple shadow
Yes, she's a laughing dapple shadow
In my mind
Mmm hmmmmm yeah

If I could hear her voice
If I could see her face
If I could wish and be most any place
Be where I saw her last
On that evening past
With the princess and the prince
Yeah

The princess and the prince 

Island lyrics - Cher

I think we need an island
Cause we can't get along
In this place that we're on
And honey
When I wake in the morning
If I could see your face
If I could see your face

[Chorus:]
And I've covered the whole world
Searching for a way to get to you
Will it be this way forever
Ooh, I feel the night is breathing
Closer than ever
And I can't believe we're no together

I need to get some answers
Cause I can't understand it
We both know it's wrong
And honey
I wanna die completely
We've dragging it out too long
Much too long

[Chorus]

And I've covered the whole world
Searching for a way to get to you
And I can't believe we're not together

I think we need an island

I Love Makin' Love To You lyrics - Cher

Aw, feels so fine every time
Ooh, I love making love to you
Anywhere I don't care
Oh, I love making love to you

Oh, the fire in your eyes
Makes my loving temperature rise
And honey sweet ecstasy
Ooh, I love what you're doing to me
Please don't stop
Oh, I think I'm gonna lose control
Honey don't stop
I want you to fill me with your soul

[Chorus:]
Cause there's no lightning and thunder
Any seven wonder mightier
Than what you've got
Keep it up forever
No one does it better, baby
Come and get it while it's hot

Oh, give me more like before
I love making love to you
Makes me feel life is real
Ooh, I love making love to you
Oh, your heart touching mine
Starts the beat of unnatural rhyme
Such a sweet melody
Oh I love what you've given to me

[Chorus]

Give me more like before
Ooh, I love making love to you
Makes me feel life is real
Ooh, I love making love to you

[Chorus x3]
[Fade] 

Love Me lyrics - Cher

Treat me like a fool, 
Treat me mean and cruel, 
But love me. 
Wring my faithful heart, 
Tear it all apart, but love me. 
If you ever go, 
Darling, I'll be oh so lonely 
I'll be sad and blue, 
Crying over you, dear only. 
I would beg and steal 
Just to feel your heart beatin' close to mine 
Well, if you ever go, 
Darling, I'll be oh so lonely 
I'll be sad and blue, crying over you, dear only. 
I would beg and steal
just to feel your heart beatin' close to mine 
Well, if you ever go, 
Darling, I'll be oh so lonely 
Beggin' on knees, all I ask is please, please love me 
Oh yeah 

"Cherished" (1977)



Pirate lyrics - Cher

He'll sail on with the summer wind
That blows on this same day
Everybody calls him Pirate
Dark and handsome in his own way
And the fire in his eyes
Lit all the fire inside of me
And soon you were feeling
So much more than the wind and waves and sea

Pirate I'm gonna take your soul
I only want the right to love you
I know the sea won't let you go
Pirate, my love will only chain you down
So just know how much I love you
And then turn that ship around

Every time that he'd sail back to me
We'd fall in love again
And my face would fill with wonder
At all the places that he's been
But I knew his sweetest love song
Was when he heard the trade winds blow
And I loved him way too much
To tell the secret he should know

Pirate I'm gonna take your soul
I only want the right to love you
I know the sea won't let you go
Pirate, my love will only chain you down
So just know how much I love you
And then turn that ship around

Now as I watch in silence
Another young man goes to sea
And his silhouette is stirrin' up
A painful memory
And I know his heart is set to sail
But mine is set to cry
Cause I feel as the way I did
The day is Daddy said goodbye
I told him

Pirate I'm gonna take your soul
I only want the right to love you
I know the sea won't let you go
Pirate, my love will only chain you down
So just know how much I love you
And then turn that ship around

War Paint And Soft Feathers

They were from two warring tribes
So their love could never be
He was a painted Apache
And she was a Cherokee
He was stealing her father's horses
When he saw her standing there
Moon braided bits of silver
All through her long black hair

War paint and soft feathers
Love was meant to be
Even though he was Apache
She was a blue-eyed Cherokee
War paint and soft feathers
Under the pale moon light
Doing what tribal laws forbid
As drums brought the silence of the night

His strong arms circled round her waist
His headband touched her brow
They were of two different tongues
But their lips met anyhow
Next to a small oak tree
Crossed spears forbid their love
There'd been no peace between their tribes
Long as eagles soar above

War paint and soft feathers
Love was meant to be
Even though he was Apache
She was a blue-eyed Cherokee
War paint and soft feathers
Under the pale moon light
Doing what tribal laws forbid
As drums brought the silence of the night

Now the leaves have fallen to the ground
Over and over again
From the small oak tree grown taller
Where once crossed spears had been
A young man rides his pinto horse
And he stands there tall and free
The son of a wild Apache
And a blue-eyed Cherokee

War paint and soft feathers
Love was meant to be
Even though he was Apache
She was a blue-eyed Cherokee
War paint and soft feathers
Under the pale moon light
Doing what tribal laws forbid
As drums brought the silence of the night

War paint and soft feathers
Love was meant to be
Even though he was Apache
She was a blue-eyed Cherokee
War paint and soft feathers
Under the pale moon light
Doing what tribal laws forbid
As drums brought the silence of the night

He Was Beautiful lyrics - Cher

A crowd made the magic happen
The band made the music play
I can close my eyes and see him there
Just like it was yesterday
It was just another party
Till he walked in all alone

And I read the message in his eyes
It said: "Honey, I'll take ya home"
So I took him back to my place
And I knew that he would stay
And he held me and he loved me
Till we loved the night away

He was beautiful
In the daylight of the morning sun
His golden hair had come undone
So beautiful
He touched me with his fingertips
He bended close, I kissed his lips
So beautiful

It was easy for me to say goodbye
Watch him walk right out the door
Tellin' myself I'd forget his face
Like all the other times before
And I was halfway through the afternoon
When I knew that I was wrong

He was spinning around inside my head
Like some old familiar song
So maybe some night while the music plays
Though I don't know where or when
I'll be walking into some crowded room
And I'll see his face again

Love The Devil Out Of Ya lyrics - Cher

Put a lid on it
What's that you say?
Put a lid on it
Oh man, no way
Put a lid down on it, and everything will be all right.
Put a lid on it
Don't hand me that
Put a lid on it
I'm all right, Jack
Put a lid down on it, before somebody starts a fight.

Say, every time I turn it loose you cats Come down and cook my goose
When I start I just can't stop
But if you keep this up you're gonna blow your top!
Put a lid on it
Too late this time
Put a lid on it
I've got to get what's mine
Put a lid down on it, and everything will be all right.

Well, grab your drink and clear a space I think it's time to torch this place
Now the girl's in overdrive
But some of your pals want to stay alive!
I'll put a lid on it
I'll put a lid down on it
Save it for another night

She Loves To Hear The Music lyrics - Cher

She's just a secretary
At a small recording firm
When it comes to music
There ain't nothing she can't learn

And everything she lives and breathes
Is written on an album sleeve
She can tell you who's hot
Who will make it and who will not

She loves to hear the music
She's got every lyric down
She loves to hear them say
She's got the greatest ears in town

Hangs around a studio
Ain't a rock star she don't know
Sometimes they take her home
But she always wakes up alone

Men that want to marry her
Never satisfied
In rythms that she hears
All that keeps her high

So they turn around and go
And leave her by her radio
She didn't love 'em anyway
Not like she loves the men who play

She loves to hear the music
She's got every lyric down
She loves to hear them say
She's got the greatest ears in town

She's there at every studio
The first to come, the last to go
Sometimes they take her home
But she always wakes up alone

Years will not be kind to her
Her world is for the young
Bands that played so tightly and knit
Will soon become unstrung

She'll be just another face
Out of town and out of place
When the songs revive again
She'll come to life and tell them when

She loves to hear the music
She's got every lyric down
She loves to hear them say
She's got the greatest ears in town

She could of been somebody's wife
Music men destroyed her life
Each night she took one home
But she always woke up alone

L.A. Plane lyrics - Cher

Seven thousand miles to Paris
Nine hundred miles to Rome
And I'm goin' every mile to find
My piece of mind at home
This infatuatio is driving me insane
To make my reservation
On the next L.A. plane
Make me high, make me sane
Get me aboard that L.A. plane
I'm tired of the pouring rain
Get me safe, get me warm
Get me a Southern California morning
Where I was born, boy I'm coming
I'm coming home to you
He look so fine in Europe
On all the posters and the brochures
I thought they promised something more
Than what was mine and yours
Well I was looking for excitement
On every boat and train
But all I saw were unfamiliar faces in the rain
Get me high, get me sane
Get me aboard that L.A. plane
I'm tired of this pouring rain
I'm tired of just passing through
Get me safe, get me warm
Get me a Southern California morning
Where I was born, babe I'm coming
I'm coming home to you
And now nothing look better in my mind
Than your warm and loving face
And all these miles have taught me
That your loved can't be replaced
Get me high, get me sane
Get me aboard that L.A. plane
I'm tired of this pouring rain
I'm tired of just passing through
Get me safe, get me warm
Get me a Southern California morning
Where I was born, babe I'm coming
I'm coming home to you

Again lyrics - Cher

Again evening finds me at your door 
Here to ask you just once more 
If we could try again 
I don't know quite what to say 
Never was too good that way 
So won't you help me again 

I don't know what made me leave 
If you just take me back you see 
How much I love you 

Again don't stand crying in the door 
If you believe your eyes once more 
You see I'll never lie again

Dixie lyrics - Cher

Wish I was in the land of cotton 
There's a man waiting there 
Who'll never be forgotten 
Why did I have to go 
Why did I go away 

It was early on one frosty morning 
I left the sleepy town I was born in 
I wrote a letter that said I was going 
And I layed it beside your bed 

And now the concrete hurts my feet 
New York's too big a city for me 
Back down south from Dixie beside you 
Honey is where I wanna be 

And then my cotton gown'll come tumblin' down 
I'll make ya feel like a hell of a man 
I wanna be held tight in your arms tonight 
In my sweet old Dixie land 
Darling it seems like forever 
Does the Mississippi still run free 
I miss a little bit of Heaven 
And your southern hospitality 

These neon lights drive me crazy 
I wanna lay next to you and be lazy 
Where the sweet magnolia blossoms 
In the early morning Georgia air 

Tonight it looks like snow 
But this Gray Hound's starting to roll 
I gonna be whistelin' Dixie 
All the way back home to you

Send The Man Over lyrics - Cher

In a rented room 
Above a Hollywood bar with my money gone 
The ragged curtains blowing in the window 
Lying hungry and alone 
With no one to call, not even my folks 
For the means to go on 

Wondering if I lose my nerve 
Or answer the phone 
When the desk clerk calls to say 
A stranger's on his way 
Up the stairs to share my bed 
Will I stay or slip away 

I know an actress has to make sacrifices 
But what a price to pay 
And when I called my agent today 
The conversation went this way 

Send in anyone from Metro or Warners 
Leave a call from me 
Well then what about Paramount or NBC 
You say there's nothing today 
Just an interesting gentleman caller 
With a burning request 
I said send the man over, I guess 
With a script and the cash 

Just some poor white trash 
From a bayou town and a driftwood shack 
I was craddled by a Cajun Mama 
Deserted by a Cherokee dad 

Then at seventeen a Georgia drifter came 
And we made it to L.A. 
And when I called my agent today 
The conversation went this way 

Send in anyone from Metro or Warners 
Leave a call from me 
Well then what about Paramount or NBC 
You say there's nothing today 
Just an interesting gentleman caller 
With a burning request 
I said send the man over, I guess 
With a script and the cash 

Now I hear footsteps out in the hall 
Mama's pictures turned to the wall 
A young actress must give her all 
Pay her dues, play her role

Thunderstorm lyrics - Cher

I could pass the evening here
Staring down into your eyes
Just forget there's a world somewhere outside
I kept my porch-light burning
So you could find my door
Felt so good to hear your footsteps
Walk across my bedroom floor

I knew that you were coming
By the thunderstorm last night
I swear I heard the north wind call your name
But a clear sky of blue stars
And the darling man you are
Makes it feel so good lying here next to you

This dusty town has needed rain
Like I've been needing you
So hold me tight as only you can do
By the light of just one candle
I feel your warm hands touching me
While our shadows move together
In the sweetest harmony

I knew that you were coming
By the thunderstorm last night
I swear I heard the north wind call your name
But a clear sky of blue stars
And the darling man you are
Makes it feel so good lying here next to you

I knew that you were coming
By the thunderstorm last night
I swear I heard the north wind call your name
But a clear sky of blue stars
And the darling man you are
Makes it feel so good lying here next to you

"I'd Rather Believe In You" (1976)




Long Distance Love Affair lyrics - Cher

Momma raised me to love one man
And that's just what I'm trying to do
But since you've been playing
In that rock and roll band
I never see enough of you

Saw your picture in a magazine
Read the letters that you sent back home
But of the night I'm alone by the t.v. screen
Listening for the telephone

Long distant love affair
We got a station to station romance
And while I'm here you're always there
This kind of love don't get no where
It's just a long distant love affair

I got a fever running through my blood
Night and day you know it never fails
And there's only one thing
That's gonna satisfy me
And you can't send it through the mail

Long distant love affair
We got a station to station romance
And while I'm here you're always there
This kind of love don't get no where
It's just a long distant love affair

Long distant love affair
We got a station to station romance
And while I'm here you're always there
This kind of love don't get no where
It's just a long distant love affair

Long distant love affair
We got a station to station romance
And while I'm here you're always there
This kind of love don't get no where
It's just a long distant love affair

I'd Rather Believe In You lyrics - Cher

I should go out tonight
And get on with my life
Break these chains of solitude
A little luck and a little help
I might even find myself
In the arms of someone new

But, once you've loved somebody
It ain't that easy to do
Once you've somebody
Like I've loved you

Look what you've gone and done
You've ruined it for anyone
Who tries to steal this heart away
I can't get you off my mind
I've told myself a million times
A little time is all it takes

But, once you've loved somebody
It ain't that easy to do
Once you've somebody
Like I've loved you

I gave you everything that I had to give
I don't know if I can go that far again

But, once you've loved somebody
It ain't that easy to do
Once you've somebody
Like I've loved you

Oh, once you've loved somebody
Oh, like I've loved you

I Know (You Don't Love Me) lyrics - Cher


(originally by Barbara George)


Uh uh uh
You don't love me
Yes I know
Uh-uh-uh
You don't love me
Yes I know

Well you left me pretty baby
And I had no place to go
Yes I love you
I'll do anything you say
Yes I love you
I'll do anything you say
If you say you love me baby
I'll get on my knees and pray

Uh uh uh
You don't love me
Yes I know

Silver Wings & Golden Rings lyrics - Cher

It was Friday night 
And both of us were lonely 
We seemed to meet as lonely people do 
I filled that empty space till Monday morning 
I never meant ton fall in love with you 
Came right out and told me 
About your wife back home in Houston 
You were just in town on business 
You never tried to lead me on 
Time had seemed just fine 
Simply love you for the moment 
Heaven help me time ran out 
Now the moment's gone 

Silver wings and golden rings 
Are taking you today 
And I'll be dying on the ground 
While you are flying away 
Silver wings and golden rings 
Are shinning on and on 
While the only love 
I've ever known is gone 

You made me feel like 
I was something special 
The way no other man ever done 
And I knew last night 
Would have to last forever 
It's just no way of holding back the sun 
And now I guess it's time for me 
To drive you to the airport 
Hold back all my tears 
Tell you it's been nice 
If you come back to town again 
Know I love to see you 
Remember I'm not strong enough 
To let go of you twice

Flashback lyrics - Cher

You were born between a rock and a hard place
To a couple of losers
I lived on the other side of your duplex
I heard you getting those bruises
I never would've wanted to walk in your shoes
It scared me to death, I was a kid too
Sometimes I think about you
Travis are you out there somewhere
Searching for somebody to care
Are you doing the same thing
That your daddy did to you
Wish I could have helped you somehow
Wonder if it's just too late now
Saw your pain, how come nobody
Seemed to have a clue
Is your world still black and blue
Travis, Travis
Did you follow in your mama's footsteps
Strung out on bad things
Just a product of circumstances
Never taught what love means
Travis I hope you did it different this time
All you had to do was make up your mind
Well, how did you decide to live your life
Travis are you out there somewhere
Searching for somebody to care
Are you doing the same thing
That your daddy did to you
Wish I could have helped you somehow
Wonder if it's just too late now
Saw your pain, how come nobody
Seemed to have a clue
Is your world still black and blue
Travis, Travis
And the circle goes round
Until someone hears the sound
Of a breaking heart
Wish I could have helped you somehow
Wonder if it's just too late
Saw your pain, how come nobody
Seemed to have a clue
Is your world still black and blue
Travis, Travis, Travis, Travis, Travis

It's A Cryin' Shame lyrics - Cher

Love walk out the door 
Its a cryin' shame
It don't happen no more
Love walk out the door 
Its a cryin' shame
It don't happen no more

I'm readin' your letter 
I don't know weather 
To call you up and talk again.
When I saw the name you signed
Goin' through my mind it was a memory
Of way back when.

Now all that I can tell you is good luck baby
I'm sorry that it couldn't be me,
Cause it felt to right and if we held on tight 
I'd be with you tonight.

We never should have let our 
Love walk out the door 
Its a cryin' shame
It don't happen no more

Love walk out the door 
Its a cryin' shame
It don't happen no more

I wont forget the summer
My heart was like a drummer
Just beating every night away
Walkin' in the sun with you
Baby we were one I knew
Love was really ours to stay

Now all that I have left is a faded picture,
You belong to her today
And the memory of you and me
Is just a used to be, 

We never should have let our
Love walk out the door 
Its a cryin' shame
It don't happen no more

Love walk out the door 
Its a cryin' shame
It don't happen no more
Shame it don't happen

Love slipped through my hands
Its a cryin' shame
I cant play in your band
Love fell at my feet its a cryin' shame
The bitter is in the sweet

Oh no..oh no

Love walk out the door 
Its a cryin' shame
It don't happen no more

Love walk out the door 
Its a cryin' shame
It don't happen no more
