Mr. Soul lyrics - Cher


(originally by Buffalo Springfield)


Well, hello Mr. Soul 
I dropped by to pick up a reason 
For the thought that I caught that my head 
Was the event of the season 
Why in crowds 
Just a trace of my face 
Could seem so pleasin' 
I'll cop out to the change 
But a stranger is putting the tease on 

I was down on the ground 
When the messenger 
Wrote me a letter 
I was raised by the praise of a fan 
Who said I upset her 
Any girl in the world 
Could have easily known me much better 
She said 
You're strange, but don't change 
And I let her 
In a while when the smile on my face 
Turned to plaster 
Stick around while the clown who gets sick 
Does the trick of disaster 
For the race of my head and my face 
Is moving much faster 

Is it strange I should change 
I don't know 
Why don't you ask her 
Is it strange I should change 

I don't know, why don't you ask her 
Is it strange I should change 
I don't know, why don't you ask her 
Is it strange I should change 

Why don't you ask her

Just This One Time lyrics - Cher

I've got to try just one more time
To help you believe in me
Oh, look into my eyes, check my face
For lies and you might see
My life's never been everything
I want it to be, but with you
I could change this bad luck
With you I could hold my head up
And loving you

Just this one time
I need someone to believe in me
Breathe it with me
Get beneath it with me, now
Sweet darlin', just this one time

I've got to say the perfect thing
Oh, I can't make mistakes now
Oh, I've got to read your signs
I've gotta sing those magic lines
You've got to hear

I know I've given you every reason
In this whole round world to fear me now
But my love's a raging river
And you've wrapped it in your hand
Oh darlin'

Just this one time I need someone
To believe in me, believe in me
Just this one time I need someone
To leave it with me, breathe it with me
Get beneath it with me now sweet daddy
Just this one time

Just this one time
I really need somebody

Geronimo's Cadillac lyrics - Cher


(originally by Michael Martin Murphey)


Put Geronimo in jail down south
Where he couldn't look
A gift horse in the mouth
Took old Geronimo by storm
Ripped off the feathers from his uniform

Oh boys, take me back
I wanna ride in Geronimo's cadillac
Oh boys, take me back
I wanna ride in Geronimo's cadillac

Sergeant, sergeant, oh don't you feel
There's something wrong with your automobile
Warden, warden, oh listen to me
Be brave and set Geronimo free
Governor, governor, oh isn't it strange
You never seen a car on the indian range

Oh boys, take me back
I wanna ride in Geronimo's cadillac
Oh boys, take me back
I wanna ride in Geronimo's cadillac

People, people, oh don't you know
The indian's got no place to go
Jesus told me, and I believe it's true
The red man's in the sunset too
Took our land, now they won't give it back
They sent Geronimo a cadillac

Oh boys, take me back
I wanna ride in Geronimo's cadillac
Oh boys, take me back
I wanna ride in Geronimo's cadillac

The Bigger They Come, The Harder They Fall lyrics - Cher


(originally by Jimmy Cliff)


Well they tell me there's a pie in the sky 
Waiting for me when I die 
But between the day your born 
And when you die 
Oh Lord, they never seem to hear 
Even your cry 
And as sure as the sun will shine 
Iaam gonna get my share of whataas mine 
And then 

The bigger they come 
The harder they fall 
One and all 
Oh yeah they bigger they come 
The harder they fall 

Well the oppressors are trying to get me down 
Trying to drive me under the ground 
And they think that they have got their battle won 
I say, aaforgive them Lord 
They no not what theyaave doneaa 
And as sure as the sun will shine 
Iaam gonna get my share of whataas mine 
And then 

The bigger they come 
The harder they fall 
One and all 
Oh yeah they bigger they come 
The harder they fall 

And I keep on fighting for the things I want 
Though I know that when youaare dead man your gone 
But Iaad rather be a free man in my grave 
Oh, than living like a puppet or a slave 
And as sure as the sun will shine 
Iaam gonna get my share of whataas mine 
And then

Love Hurts lyrics - Cher


(originally by The Everly Brothers)


Love hurts, love scars
Love wounds and mars
Any heart not tough
Or strong enough
To take a lot of pain
Take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud and it 
Holds a lot of rain
Love hurts

I'm young, I know
But, babe, even so
I know a thing or two
Honey, I've learned from you
And I've really learned a lot
I've really learned a lot
Love is like a stove and it 
Burns you when it's hot
Love hurts
Love hurts

Some fools rave of happiness, of blissfulness, togetherness
Oh, some fools, oh, they fool themselves, I guess
They're not fooling me
And I know it isn't true
Oh, I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie and it's 
Made to make you blue
Love hurts
Early in the morning, you'll find love hurts
Love hurts

Rock And Roll Doctor lyrics - Cher

A woman in georgia didn't feel just right
She had fever all day and chills at night
Now things got worse, yes a serious bind
At times like this it takes a man with such style
That you cannot often find
A doctor of the heart and a doctor of the mind

If you like country with a boogie beat
He's the man to meet (he's the man to meet)
If you like the sound of'a shufflin' feet
I said, he can't be beat (he can't be beat)
Oh, if you wanna feel real nice
Just ask the rock and roll doctor's advice

It's just a country town but patients come
From mobile to moline from miles around
Nagodoches to new orleans
In beat-up old cars or in limousines
To meet the doctor of soul

He's got his very own thing
Two degrees in be-bop, a ph.d. in swing
He's the master of be hop
He's the rock 'n roll king

If you like country with a boogie beat
He's the man to meet (he's the man to meet)
If you like the sound of'a shufflin' feet
I said, he can't be beat (he can't be beat)
If you... if you wanna
If you wanna feel real nice
Just ask the r and-r d-r's advice

(rock 'n roll doc can make you feel so fine)
So fine so so fine, so fine, he makes you feel so fine
(rock n roll doc can make you feel so fine)
Rock-n-roll rock-n-roll rock-n-roll doctor, feel fine
Well he makes you feel so fine

Stars lyrics - Cher

I was never one for saying what I really feel
Except tonight I'm bringing everything I know that's real

Stars they come and go
They come fast
They come slow
They go like the last light of the sun
All in a blaze
And all you see is glory
Hey, but it gets lonely here
When there's no one here to share
You can shake it all away if you will hear my story
Some people ask for fame like athlete's in a game
We break our collarbones and come up swinging
Some of us are downed some of us a crowned
And some are lost and never found but most have seen it all
They live there lives in sad cafe's and music halls
They always come up singing
Some make it when they're young before the world has done its dirty job
Later on someone will say you've had your day,
And now you must make way
But they will never know the pain of living
With a name you'd never own
Or the many years forgetting
What you know too well
That the ones who get the crown
Have been let down
Yet try to make amends
Without defending
Perhaps pretending
You never saw the eyes
Of grown men of twenty-five
That follow as you walk
And ask for autographs
Or kiss you on the cheek
But you never can believe
They really love you
Some make it when they're old
Perhaps they have a soul
They're not afraid to bear
Or perhaps there's nothing there

Stars they come and go
They come fast
They come slow
They go like the last light of the sun
All in a blaze
And all you see is glory

But most have seen it all
They live there lives
In sad cafe's and music halls
They always come up singing
Singing
Singing
Singing

"Dark Lady" (1974)




Train Of Thought lyrics - Cher

When you're talkin' in your sleep,
And the name that you whisper ain't mine
And I've finally faced the fact
That you're cheatin' on me one more time
When my anger starts to rumble
And my steam starts to rise
And the wheels keep turning
Faster as I think of all your lies

Oh that train of thought runnin' right on time
But it's off the track and I'm losing my mind
'Cause the way you used me
Gonna drive me insane honey
Say you'll never leave me
For God's sake stop the train

Oh the camel back is broken
By the one extra straw added on
And a woman can't see reason
When her last ray of sunshine is gone
There's a finger on the trigger
And that locomotive sound
And I think how much I love you
And I turn the gun around

Oh that train of thought runnin' right on time
But it's off the track and I'm losing my mind
And you hold me the last time
As I try to explain, honey
Don't feel bad about me
I just had to stop this train

Gotta get off, gotta get off
Gotta get off, gotta get off (woo-woo)
Gotta get off, gotta get off
This train of thought (woo-woo)
Gotta get off, gotta get off (woo-woo)
Gotta get off, gotta get off
The train of thought (woo-woo)

I Saw A Man And He Danced With His Wife lyrics - Cher

I was by myself drinkin'
Chilled lonely wine
Then he walked in with some woman
Who's place was once mine
And she wore his ring on her finger
And the band began a song
I heard before

[Chorus:]
I saw a man and he danced with his wife
How I wished he was dancin' with me
'Cause I remember before
When we danced on this floor
His eyes were only on me
Where did I go wrong?
They were playin' our song
While I was cryin' all night long

I kept watchin' as they danced slowly by
I kept hopin', kept on lookin'
But I couldn't catch his eye
Oh, then he got up, and he saw me
But he just walked right on by
And danced with her

[Chorus]

Two weeks later, I heard a knock on my door
He was back
Just like all those good times before
Aw, then he kissed me
And he told me
I left her 'cause I love you
So much more than I knew

I saw a man and he danced with his wife
But now he's dancin' with me
I remember before, when we danced on this floor
His eyes were only on me
[repeat to fade]

Make The Man Love Me lyrics - Cher

Lord I haven't ask for anything 
In such a long, long time 
Not since that brand new party dress 
When I was eight or nine 
And I know the world's in such a stench 
You got a lot to do 
But if you ever find yourself 
With a minute or two 
Won'tcha please 

Make the man love me 
Ah make the man see 
I'd be so good for him 
If he'd start letting me 
Come on now 
Make the man love me 
Ah make the man care 
Just open up his heart, Lord 
And I'll take it from there 

Lord I know that he needs me 
It's just he don't know 
And my heart so full of him 
It's gonna overflow 
And so if you should have a miracle 
You wanna do up right 
Ah won'tcha take him by the hand 
And show him the light 
Won'tcha you please 

Make the man love me 
Ah make the man see 
I'd be so good for him 
If he'd start letting me 
Come on now 
Make the man love me 
Ah make the man care 
Just open up his heart, Lord 
And I'll take it from there 

Oh I want him 
Lord how I want him 
To make some love to me 
Won'tcha make him see 
How sweet it could be 
So come on come on now

Just What I've Been Lookin' For lyrics - Cher

You're just what I've been looking for
Something I never thought I'd fine
And everything I ever dream of
Is getting closer all the time

Ah I believe you want me too
And love is in your eyes
You're just what I've been looking for
Just what I had in mind

Once around the wheel of love
I guess everybody's tried
And you never quit get over it
When you've been taken for a ride

Well forget all that
That's another place and another time
That world began to fade away
When you walked into my life

You're just what I've been looking for
Something I never thought I'd fine
And everything I ever dream of
Is getting closer all the time

Ah I believe you want me too
And love is in your eyes
You're just what I've been looking for
Just what I had in mind

You're just what I've been looking for
Just what I had in mind

Dark Lady lyrics - Cher

The fortune queen of New Orleans,
Was brushing her cat in her black limousine
On the backseat were scratches from
The marks of men her fortune she had won
Couldn't see through the tinted glass,
She said "Home James" and he hit the gas
I Followed her to some darkened room,
She took my money, she said "I'll be with you soon"

[Chorus:]
Dark Lady laughed and danced and lit the candles one by one
Danced to her gypsy music till her brew was done
Dark Lady played back magic till the clock struck on the twelve
She told me more about me than I knew myself

She dealt two cards, a queen and a three
And mumbled some words that were so strange to me
Then she turned up a two-eyed jack,
My eyes saw red but the card still stayed black
She said the man you love is secretly true
To someone else who is very close to you
My advice is that you leave this place,
Never come back and forget you ever saw my face

[Chorus]

So I ran home and crawled in my bed,
I couldn't sleep because of all the things she said
Then I remembered her strange perfume,
And how I smelled it was in my own room!
So I sneaked back and caught her with my man,
Laughing and kissing till they saw the gun in my hand
The next thing I knew they were dead on the floor,
Dark Lady would never turn a card up anymore

[Chorus]

Miss Subway Of 1952 lyrics - Cher

To my idol the divine
Hope this never happens to us
She may look a little worn out
She may have a couple of gray hairs
A little ragged a little haggard
A few wrinkles here and there
But you should of seen her 21 years ago
She would of captivated you
Why she was Miss Subway of 1952
She had a stunting figure
And her hips weren't any bigger
Than her bust line
She's gotten just a little saggy
And her skin's a trifle baggy
But there was a time
When everything was perfectly place
She had a beautiful face
She may look a little made up
Especially around the eyes
A little groupie, a little droopy
But once they were quit a prize
Yes you should of seen her 21 years ago
They were a devastating view
Why she was Miss Subway of 1952
She had a million men around her
Giving gifts that would astound her
Why she couldn't even walk down the street
Yeah she had lovers by the dozen
And she even had some cousins
Who just couldn't stop
Throwing themselves at her feet
She was so dainty and sweet
She may look a little worn out
She may have a couple of gray hairs
A little ragged a little haggard
A few wrinkles here and there
But you should of seen her 21 years ago
She would of captivated you
Why she was Miss Subway of 1952

Dixie Girl lyrics - Cher

When I was a little girl in Dixie 
I used to chase the fireflies 
Then I grew up and started chasing the guys 
Teenage romance what just the thing 
Till I got in a family way 
Now mama only working in a cheap cafe 

Waiting on tables and passing myself around 
Dixie girl, you're the small talk 
In a small talking town 
I fall in love every day with someone 
Who ends up just driving away 
While I dreaming I with him 
Going down that west bound highway 

One night a man walks in and smiles 
And orders coffee black 
Took me for a ride in his brand new cadillac 
Told me he loved me with all his heart 
I told him I loved him too 
He said goodbye Dixie, I'll be back for you 

Waiting on tables and passing myself around 
Dixie girl, you're the small talk 
In a small talking town 
I fall in love every day with someone 
Who ends up just driving away 
While I dreaming I with him 
Going down that west bound highway 

Now all I do is read those 
Hollywood photograph magazines 
Work my shifts for tips 
And live alone in my dreams 
I'm a Dixie girl who prays 
Some day she'll be a Delta queen 
Find a good man, 
Who'll raise me and my baby 

Waiting on tables and passing myself around 
Dixie girl, you're the small talk 
In a small talking town 
I fall in love every day with someone 
Who ends up just driving away 
While I dreaming I with him 
Going down that west bound highway

Rescue Me lyrics - Cher

Rescue me, take me in your arms 
Rescue me. I want your tender charms 
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm blue 
I need you and your love too 
Come on and rescue me

Come on baby, and rescue me

Come on baby and be my man 
'Cause I love you 
'Cause I want you 
Can't you see that I'm lonely 
Take me baby 
Love me baby

Can't you see that I'm lonely

What'll I Do lyrics - Cher

What'll I do, when you are far away
And I'm so blue what'll I do
What'll I do when I am wondering
Who is kissing you
What'll I do

What'll I do with just a photograph
To tell my troubles to

When I am alone
With all the dreams of you
That won't come true
What will I do

What'll I do when you are far away
And I am blue what'll I do

Apples Don't Fall Far From The Tree lyrics - Cher

When I was five
I put on Mama's high heel shoes
And paint my face
And dance across the living room
In Ruby's place
Well the music was always playing
Girls laugh while the men were sayin'

Apples don't fall far from the tree
Hey, honey come sit on my knee
Apples don't fall far from the tree
And I remember Mama's tears
When they said in a few years
I'd be something to see

At seventeen I had me a diamond
And a string of pearls
The men said they preffered me
To the other girls
They took me to the best places
But I could read it on their faces

Apples don't fall far from the tree
Hey, honey come sit on my knee
Apples don't fall far from the tree
And I remember Mama's tears
When they said in a few years
I'd be something to see

Then when Mama died I made up my mind
To get on a Greyhound , get out of this town
And leave it all behind

But life goes on
A child of three smiles up at me
While she plays
The man I love has never heard of "Ruby's Place"
When he holds her with affection
And he uses that old expression

Apples don't fall far from the tree
Hey, honey come sit on my knee
Apples don't fall far from the tree
And I remember Mama's tears
When they said in a few years
I'd be something to see
