Best Of Dusty Springfield

(cropper / hayes / porter)

I'll put your pictures all around my wall
I'll build a tower of love that won't fall
I'll do everything i can
I'll try to be your own lovin' woman
With every ounce of strength i have
Oh, yeah

Oh, there is nothing that i wouldn't do
To let the world know
I'm crazy 'bout you

I'd use all of my woman's power
To keep you happy for a million hours
Every ounce of strength i have
Every ounce of strength i have

You can ask for what you want
And a-get what you ask
I'd give my all to make
I would love for ever last
With every ounce of strength i have
Oh, yeah

Long as blood runs through my veins
Long as i can see clouds that bring on rain
I'll use a-all of my woman's power
To keep you happy for a million hours

With every ounce of strength i have
Every ounce of strength i have
I'm gonna keep you happy
With every, every, every, every ounce of strength i have
Every ounce
I'm gonna keep you happy
With every, every, every

(gary klein / arthur kornfield)

(guess who?)
Where's the girl who hurt herself last night?
(guess who?)
Didn't kiss you and thought she was right
Everyone had told me
Be careful when he holds me
And i was

(guess who?)
Had to listen to all that she hears
(guess who?)
Has a pillow that's all wet with tears
You were oh-so tender
But i wouldn't surrender
Now you're gone

I told my friends "he'll never get my heart"
And when i kissed you
Had to resist you
Said "better go"
I hurt you so

Wished you had stayed
But i made you go away
(guess who?)
Tried to be much too cool yesterday
(guess who?)
Let the boy that she loves get away
I never should have listened
'cause now your love i'm missin'
It's too late
Woah, it's too late, ahh, ha

I never should have listened
'cause now your love i'm missin'
It's too late
Oh, it's too late
Ah, oh, ah, ah, oh
It's too late, mmm

(ray charles)

Yeah
Don't you know, baby?
Hey child, don't you know?
Don't you know, baby?
Little boy, little boy, don't you know?
Don't you know, baby?
Boy, i'm in love with you so

Turn your oil lamp down low
I said, turn your lamp down low
Ow, turn it down
Yeah, turn your lamp down low
A-come on, baby
I know i'm in love with you so

I know i've been away
For such a long, long time
But now, baby, i can't get you off my mind
So come on, baby, come on
Now come on, i love you daddy all night long

Ow, now you love me like i love you
We can do all the things that we used to do

Hey, a-come on, i love you daddy all night long

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, singin' it baby, yeah

Hey, have you heard?

To see what he's puttin' down
So, come on, oh baby, come on
A-come on, i love you daddy all night long

A-turn your lamp down low
A-turn your lamp down low
A-turn your lamp down low
I love you daddy all night long
Turn that thing down, baby
I love you daddy all night long

(daryl / taylor)

(don't say it baby)
(don't say it baby)
Don't say it baby
Don't say it's only me for you
It's not true
I'm still young and there's so much i wanna do
(don't say it baby)
(don't say it baby)

Don't say it baby
Don't say the word that you'll regret
Don't forget
I'm a girl who's learned to take what she can get
(don't say it baby)

Today i could never belong to one boy
(one boy)
And while you wait for tomorrow
You'll find your heart broken in two

Don't say it baby
Don't be a fool for anyone
Have your fun
Go away
Live every day while you're young
(don't say it baby)

Go away
Live every day while you're still young
(don't say it baby)
You better go away while you're still young
You gotta live every day now
While you're still young

(bob elgin / frank augustus / clarence lewis)

Baby, if a wall of stone were built around your heart
Oh, don't you know, don't you know?
I would tear the wall apart
'cause nothing, nothing, nothing, i said no, not nothing
Nothing in the world's gonna keep me away from you

If a sea of fire, it was surrounding you
Oh, don't you know, don't you know?
I would find a way to get through
Because nothing, nothing, nothing, i said no, not nothing
Nothing in the world's gonna keep me away from you

I've been listening, baby
For one thing, one little thing that i wanna hear
Come on and tell me, come on tell me
Do you really, really, really, really want me here?
Because nothing, nothing, nothing, i said no, not nothing
Nothing in the world's gonna keep me away from you

Yeah, i'm listening, baby
(nothing in the world's gonna keep me away from you)

Yeah, i'm listening, baby
For one thing, for one little thing that i wanna hear
Come on and tell me, come on and tell me
Do you really, really, really, really want me here?
Because nothing, nothing, i said nothing, no, no, not nothing
Nothing in the world's gonna keep me away from you
Oh, i said nothing, i said nothing, i said nothing, no, no, no, no, not nothing
Nothing in the world's gonna keep me away from you
Yeah, yeah

(kaye / philinger)

I stayed up cryin' all night (all night)
I knew the end was in sight (in sight)
And now you're walkin' out on me (on me)
You're wonderin' where the little tears can be (can be)
Well, baby....

I'm all cried out, i'm all cried out
All my little tears are all dried out, oh yeah
Now, that you say we're through
I'm all cried out over you

Last night i knew we were through (we're through)
It hurt 'cause i still loved you (loved you)
Went home and couldn't fall asleep (asleep)
'cause sleep just won't come into eyes that weep (that weep)
And that's why....

I'm all cried out, i'm all cried out
All my little tears are all dried out, oh yeah
Now that you say we're through
I'm all cried out over you, oh yeah

I'm all cried out
I just cant cry no more, no, no
No, no, no, no, oh
All cried out
And that's why....

I'm all cried out, yes i'm all cried out
All my little tears are all dried out, oh yeah
Now that you say we're through
I'm all cried out over you

Listen to me when i'm a-gonna say
I'm all cried out, yeah, over you
Listen to me when i'm a-tellin' you
I'm all cried out, yeah, over you
Over you

(b. holland / l. dozier / e. holland)

Ah, listen everybody
Especially you guys
Is it right to be left alone
When the one you love is never home?
I love too hard
Yeah, my friends sometimes say
But i believe, oh i believe
That a boy should be loved that way
But it hurts me so inside
See him treat me so unkind
A-somebody, a-somewhere
Tell him it ain't fair

Can i get a witness?
Can i get a witness?
Can i get a witness?
Somebody?

Is it right to be treated so bad?
When you've given everything you had
Keep on tossing in my sleep
'cause i haven't seen my baby all week
Now, you people you do agree
That this ain't the way love's supposed to be
A-let me hear you
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Up early in the morning
With him on my mind
Just to find out all night
That i've been crying
But i believe, oh, that a boy is a girl's best friend
So, i'm gonna stick by him 'til the very end
But he caused so much misery
I forget how love's supposed to be
Somebody, somewhere tell him
It ain't fair

Can i get a witness?
Can i get a witness?
I want a witness
Witness, witness, witness, witness

Everybody knows, especially you boys
That a love can be sad
But half a love is twice as bad
Now you people you do agree
That this ain't the way love's supposed to be
Let me hear you
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah

I want a witness
Can i get a witness?
I want a witness
Come on, witness
I want a witness, hey
Come on, witness
I want a witness

(ivor raymonde / mike hawker)

I wish i'd never loved you
I wish i'd never wanted you so much
And never thrilled to your touch
And i would not be lonely and crying
And hurting deep inside
Alone with a need that can't be satisfied

I wish i'd never loved you
I wish i'd never given you my heart
And watch you tear it all apart
And i would not be tortured, tormented and cheated
And surely my heart would not be broken in two

I saw you with another
I watched you hold her tenderly
And i could see as you kissed her
You'd never come back to me, oh

I wish i'd never loved you, mmm
I wish you'd never burned me with your kiss
Oh, how can i go on like this?
And i would not be tortured, tormented and cheated
How i wish i'd never loved you

And i could see as you kissed her
You'd never come back to me

Oh, i wish i'd never loved you
I wish you'd never burned me with your kiss
Oh, how can i go on like this?
And i would not be tortured, tormented and cheated
How i wish i'd never loved you
Oh, i wish i'd never loved you
How i wish i'd never, no, no, never
I'd never loved you
