The Very Best Of Cher

Take me home, take me home
Want to feel you close to me
Take me home, take me home
With you is where I want to be

Wrapped in your arms tonight
Just makin' love
Music and candlelight
Stars up above

Take me home (take me home)
Take me home (take me home)
Oh can't you see I want you near
(Can't you see I want you?)
Take me home (take me home)
Take me home (take me home)
Ooh baby, let's get out of here

I'd follow you anywhere
Your place or mine
Just a one-night affair
Would be so fine

I'm in heaven (heaven)
Seems like heaven (heaven)
So much in heaven (heaven)

(Take me home)
(Take me home)

One night with you
Lyin' here next to me
It's the right thing to do
It would be ecstasy

Ooh I'm in heaven (heaven)
Seems like heaven (heaven)
So much in heaven (heaven)

Take me home (take me home)
Take me home (take me home)
Ooh I want to feel you close to me
(I want to feel you close)
Take me home (take me home)
(Take me home) ooh with you
Is where I want to be

Wrapped in your arms tonight
Just makin' love
Music and candlelight
Stars up above

Well I'm in heaven (heaven)
Seems like heaven (heaven)

(Take me, take me home, home with you)
C'mon and take me, ooh baby, baby take me home
(Take me, take me home, home with you)
You'll be lyin' next to me, baby it'd be ecstasy
(Take me, take me home, home with you)
Ah can't you see I want you near
Baby, baby let's get out of here
(Take me, take me home, home with you)

I don't need your sympathy
There's nothing you can say or do for me
And I don't want a miracle
You'll never change for no one


I hear your reasons why
Where did you sleep last night?
And was she worth it, was she worth it?


'Cos I'm strong enough
To live without you
Strong enough and I quit crying
Long enough now I'm strong enough
To know you gotta go


There's no more to say
So save your breath
And walk away
No matter what I hear you say
I'm strong enough to know you gotta go


So you feel misunderstood
Baby, have I got news for you
On being used, I could write a book
You don't wanna hear about it


I've been losing sleep
You've been going cheap
She ain't worth half of me it's true
I'm telling you


Now I'm strong enough to live without you
Strong enough and I quit crying
Long enough now I'm strong enough
To know you gotta go


Come hell or waters high
You'll never see me cry
This is our last goodbye, it's true


I'm telling you
That I'm strong enough to live without you
Strong enough and I quit crying
Long enough now I'm strong enough
To know you gotta go


There's no more to say
So save your breath
And walk away
No matter what I hear you say
I'm strong enough to know you gotta go

Bang bang, you shot me down
Bang bang, i hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down

I was five and you were six
We rode on horses made of sticks
I wore black, you wore white
You would always win the fight

Bang bang, you 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
I grew up, i called you mine
You would always laugh and say
Remember when we used to play

Bang bang, you shot me down
Bang bang, i hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down

Music played and people sang
Just for me the church bells rang
After echoes from a gun
We both vowed that we'd be one
Now you're gone i don't know why
Sometimes i cry
You didn't say goodbye
You didn't take the time to lie

Bang bang, you shot me down
Bang bang, i hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down

Her: they say we're young and we don't know we won't find out until we grow
Him: well i don't know if all that's true 'cause you got me, and baby i got you
.
Him: babe
Both: i got you babe i got you babe
.
Her: they say our love won't pay the rent before it's earned, our money's all been spent
Him: i guess that's so, we don't have a pot but at least i'm sure of all the things we got
.
Him: babe
Both: i got you babe i got you babe
.
Him: i got flowers in the spring i got you to wear my ring
Her: and when i'm sad, you're a clown and if i get scared, you're always around
Her: so let them say your hair's too long 'cause i don't care, with you i can't go wrong
Him: then put your little hand in mine there ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb
.
Him: babe
Both: i got you babe i got you babe
.
Him: i got you to hold my hand
Her: i got you to understand
Him: i got you to walk with me
Her: i got you to talk with me
Him: igot you to kiss goodnight
Her: i got you to hold me tight
Him: i got you, i won't let go
Her: i got you to love me so
.
Both: i got you babe i got you babe i got you babe i got you babe i got you babe
.

When you pray with every breath
You know that is free as the love you have
Where does it end
It's too much for me to take
There's no peace, you close your eyes
I'm all out of truth, I'm outta alibis
Where does it end
It's too much for me to take

CHORUS
We're gonna love one another 'til morning comes
Seek the sweet salvation for what we've done
Give up resisting one by one
One by one
He gives a new kinda meaning to what I am
I know that I could never love any other man
One of these days you'll understand
Understand

And his face his heaven sent
He makes me believe there must be something else
Where does it end
It's too much for me to take
I can feel the need in you
There isn't a thing, I want you do
Where does it end
It's too much for me to take

CHORUS x 2

We're gonna love one another 'til morning comes
Sweet salvation for what we've done
Give up resisting one by one One by one

We're gonna love one another

TO FADE: We're gonna love one another
Give up resisting one by one
One by one

(sonny & cher)

Chorus:
The beat goes on, the beat goes on
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La de da de de, la de da de da

Charleston was once the rage, uh huh
History has turned the page, uh huh
The mini skirts the current thing, uh huh
Teenybopper is our newborn king, uh huh

Chorus

The grocery store's the super mart, uh huh
Little girls still break their hearts, uh huh
And men still keep on marching off to war
Electrically they keep a baseball score

Chorus

Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce
Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss
The cars keep going faster all the time
Bums still cry "hey buddy, have you got a dime"

Chorus

The fortune queen of new orleans
Was brushing her cat in her black limousine
On the back seat 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 black 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 once 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

I can't figure you out
But a heart must be the one thing
You were born without
I've been wastin' my time
I don't know where I'll sleep tonight
You say that you can do without me
Go ahead now try and live without me

CHORUS:
Baby save up all your tears
You might need them someday
When the tears start to fall
I won't wipe them away
When you cry in the night
For the love that you need
Baby save up your tears
'Cause you'll be cryin' over me

You got used to my touch
I got used to not, not feelin' much
Winter set in your eyes
Time will melt your castle of ice
You think that you won't feel the pain now
But your eyes will be cryin'
Like the rain now

Chorus

You'll be cryin' over me

You don't know it now
You don't know it now
You don't know it now
You don't know it now
You don't know it now
But some wounds get deeper with time
You don't feel it now
Till the need burns, a knife turns
Your heart bleeds like mine

Chorus x 2

You'll be cryin' over me
'Cause you'll be cryin' over me
You'll be cryin' over me
(You'll be cryin' over me)
(You don't know it now)
(You don't know it now)
You'll be cryin' over me
(You don't know it now)
(You don't know it now)
(You don't feel it now)
(You don't feel it now)
You don't feel it now
You'll be cryin' over me

Well here we are again
I guess it must be fate
We've tried it on our own
But deep inside we've known
We'd be back to set things straight

I still remember when
Your kiss was so brand new
Every memory repeats
Every step I take retreats
Every journey always
Brings me back to you

CHORUS:
After all the stops and starts
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
And after all that we've been through
It all comes down to me and you
I guess it's meant to be
Forever you and me
After all

When love is truly right
This time it's truly right
It lives from year to year
It changes as it grows
And oh the way it grows
But it never disappears

Chorus

Always just beyond my touch
Though I needed you so much
After all what else is living for
Whoa

Chorus x 2

You're struttin' into town like your slingin' a gun
Just a small town dude with a big city attitude
Honey are ya lookin' for some trouble tonight
Well alright
You think you're so bad, drive the women folk wild
Shoot 'em all dowm with the flash of your pearly smile
Honey but you met your match tonight
Oh that's right
You think you'll knock me off my feet
Till I'm flat on the floor
Till my heart is crying indian and I'm beggin' for more
So come on baby, come on baby
Come on baby show me what that loaded gun is for

CHORUS
If you can give it, I can take it
Cause if this heart is gonna break
It's gonna take a lot to break it
I know tonight
Somebody's gonna win the fight
So if you're so tough
Come on and prove it
Your heart is down for the count
And you know you're gonna lose it
Tonight you're gonna go down in flames
Just like Jesse James

You're an outlaw lover and I'm after your hide
Well you ain't so strong
Won't be long till your hands are tied
Tonight I'm gonna take you in dead or alive
That's right
You break the laws of love in the name of desire
Take ten steps back, cause I'm ready baby aim and fire
baby there's no way you're gonna run tonight
Ooh that's right
Well you've had your way with love
But it's the end of the day
Now a team of wild horses couldn't drag your heart away
So Come on baby, come on baby
Come on baby you know there ain't nothing left to say

CHORUS

You think you'll knock me off my feet
Till I'm flat on the floor
Till my heart is crying indian and I'm beggin for more
So come on baby, come on baby
Come on baby, Come on

CHORUS

Im gonna shoot ya down Jesse James
