Can I Get A Witness
(Holland/Holland/Dozier)
Ah ah listen to everybody (body)
Especially you girls (girl)
It's not right to be left alone
When the one you love is never home
I loved to hard my friends sometime say
But I believe, I believe
That a woman should be loved that way
But it hurts me so inside
To see you treat me so unkind
Somebody, somewhere tell her it ain't fair
Can I get a witness (can I get a witness)
I want a witness (can I get a witness)
I want a witness (can I get a witness)
Somebody (can I get a witness)
Is it right to be treated so bad
When you give it everything you had
If I talks in my sleep
'Cuz I haven't seen my baby all week
Now you chicks you all agree
This ain't the way it's supposed to be
Let me hear you
Let me hear you say, "yeah yeah"
Up early in the morning
Well they're all in my mind
Just to find her out all night
Well I've been crying
But I believe
A women's a man's best friend
I'm gonna stick by her
'Till the very end
Well she caused me so much misery
I forget how it's supposed to be
Somebody, somewhere
Tell her it ain't fair
Can I get a witness
Can I get a witness (can I get a witness)
I want a witness (can I get a witness)
Witness, witness (can I get a witness)
Witness, witness (can i get a witness)
Everybody knows, especially you girls
That a love can be sad
But half a loves is twice as bad
Now you chicks you all agree
That ain't the way love's supposed to be
Let me hear ya
Let me hear you say "yeah yeah"
I want a witness (can I get a witness)
I want a witness (can I get a witness)
Yeah I want a witness (I want a witness)
Somebody (can I get a witness)
Is it right to be treated so bad
When you give it everything you had
If I talk, in my sleep
'Cuz i haven't seen my baby all week
Yeah she caused me so much misery
That ain't the way it's supposed to be
Let me hear
Let me hear you say "yeah yeah"
I want a witness (can I get a witness)
I want a witness (can I get a witness)
I want be (can I get a witness)
I want a witness (can I get a witness)
Witness, witness
I want a witness
Can't Be Seen
(Jagger/Richards)
I just can't be seen with you
I admit it anyway
I just got obscene with you
I don't stand a chance with you
I never did anyway
I can't even sleep with you
I'd always be awake
I just can't be seen with you
It's for your own sake
You're better off anyway
It's too dangerous baby
It's too dangerous
It's too dangerous
I just can't be seen with you
They set us up so they can shoot us down
Put us six feet underground
It's just too deep for me baby
I just can't be seen with you
Although it hurts me to say
Yeah it was just a dream with you
Yeah because you're married anyway
Oh shit
Babe I don't stand a chance with you
Oh you're better off this way
It's hit and run away
It's just too dangerous baby
I just can't be, yes I got to chill this thing with you
I just can't be
It's just too dangerous baby
Baby, it's just too much for me
I just can't be
I just can't be seen nowhere around you baby
I just can't be
It's too dangerous-it's just too dangerous baby
Even in the dark
I just can't be
Yeah I got to chill with you
I just can't be
Can't Get Next To You
(Whitfield/Strong)
I can turn your gray sky blue
I could make it rain whenever I wanted to
I can build a castle from a single grain of sand
I can make a ship sail on dry land
But my life is incomplete and I'm so blue
'Cause I can't get next to you
Next to you, I just can't get next to you
I can fly like a bird in the sky
Hey, and I can buy anything that money can buy
I can turn a river into a raging fire
I could live forever if I so desired
Unimportant are all these things I can do
'Cause I can't get next to you
No matter what I do
I can turn back the hands of time
You'd better believe I can
I can make the seasons change
Just by a wave of my hand
I can change anything from old to new
The thing I want to do the most I'm unable to do
Unhappy am I with all the powers I possess
'Cause girl, you're the key to my happiness
And I, wo, I can't get next to you
Girl, you're blowin' my mind 'cause I can't get (next to you)
Can't you see these tears I'm cryin'? I can't get (next to you)
Girl, it's you that I need; I gotta get (next to you)
Can't You Hear
Me Knockin'
(Jagger/Richard)
Yeah, you got satin shoes
Yeah, you got fancy boots
Y'all got cocaine eyes
Yeah, you got speed freak jive
Can't you hear me knockin' on your window
Can't you hear me knockin' on your door
Can't you hear me knockin' down the dirty street
Hey, help me baby, I ain't no stranger
Help me baby, I ain't no stranger
Help me baby, I ain't no stranger
Can't you hear me knockin' when you're safe asleep
Can't you hear me knockin' down the gas light street
Can't you hear me knockin' throw me down the keys
Allright now
Hear me ringing big bells toll
Hear me singing soft and low
I've been begging on my knees
I've been kickin'
Help me please
Hear me prowlin
I'm gonna take you down
Hear me growlin', yeah
I've got flatted feet
Now, now, now hear me howlin'
I'm all around your street now
hear me knockin' I'm around your town
Can You Hear The Music
(Jagger/Richards)
Can you hear the music, can you hear the music?
Can you feel the magic hangin' in the air?
Can you feel the magic? Oh, yeah.
Love is a mystery I can't demystify, oh, no.
And sometimes I wonder why we're here,
but I don't care, I don't care.
Can you hear the music, can you hear the music?
Can you feel the magic dancin' in the air?
Can you feel the magic? Oh, yeah.
Love is a mystery I can't demystify, oh, no.
Sometimes I I'm dancin' on air,
but I get scared, I get scared.
When I hear the drummer, get me in the groove.
When I hear the guitar, makes me wanna move.
Can you feel the magic, floatin' in the air?
Can you feel the magic? Oh, yeah.
Sometimes you're feelin' you've been pushed around
and your rainbow just ain't here.
Don't you fear, don't you fear.
When you hear the music trouble disappear,
when you hear the music ringin' in your ears.
Can you feel the magic floatin' in the air?
Can you hear the magic? Oh, yeah, yeah.
When you hear the music ringin' in my ear,
can you hear the music? Oh, yeah.
Can you hear the drummer? Gets you in the groove.
Can you hear the guitar? Make you wanna move? Yeah.
Can you hear the music? Oh, yeah.
Can you hear the music ringin' in my ear?
Can you hear the music, can you hear the music?
Carol
(Chuck Berry)
Oh, Carol
Don't let 'em steal your heart away
Well I'm gonna learn to dance if it takes me all night and day
Climb into my machine so we can groove on out
I know a swinging little joint we can jump and shout
It takes you far back off the highway not so long a ride
You park your car out in the open you can walk inside
A little cutie takes your hat and you can thank her ma'am
'Cause every time you make the scene you find the joint is jammed
Oh Carol
Don't let 'em steal your heart away
Well I'm gonna learn to dance if it takes me all night and day
Yeah if you want to hear some boogie like the boys'll play
Hol' tight pat your foot don' let it carry you 'way
Don't let the heat overcome you when they play so loud
Yeah, don't the music intrigue you when they get a crowd
Yeah now you can't dance I know you would 'f you could
I got my eyes on you sugar cause you dance so good
Oh Carol
Don't let 'em steal your heart away
Why I'm gonna learn to dance if it takes me all night and day
Don't let her steal your heart away
Why I got to learn to dance if it takes me all night and day
Casino Boogie
(Jagger/Richards)
No good, can't speak, wound up, no sleep.
Sky diver insider her, skip rope, stunt flyer.
Wounded lover, got no time on hand.
One last cycle, thrill freak Uncle Sam.
Pause for bus'ness, hope you'll understand.
Judge and jury walk out hand in hand.
Dietrich movies, close up boogies,
kissing cunt in Cannes.
Grotesque music, million dollar sad.
Got no tactics, got no time on hand.
Left shoe shuffle, right shoe muffle,
sinking in the sand.
Fade out freedom, steaming heat on,
Watch that hat in black.
Finger twitching, got no time on hand.
Chantilly Lace
(Richardson)
Hello, baaaaby!
Yeah, this is the Big Bopper speakin'
Ha ha ha ha ha! Oh, you sweet thing!
Do I what? Will I what?
Oh baby, you knoooow what I like!
Chantilly Lace had a pretty face and a ponytail hangin' down
A wiggle in her walk and a giggle in her talk
Make the world go 'round
Ain't nothing in the world like a big eyed girl
To make me act so funny, make me spend my money
Make me feel real loose like a long necked goose
Like a--oh baby, that's a-what I like!
What's that, baby?
But... but... but... oh, honey!
Oh baby, you know what I like!
Chantilly Lace had a pretty face and a ponytail hangin' down
A wiggle in her walk and a giggle in her talk
Make the world go 'round
Ain't nothing in the world like a big eyed girl
To make me act so funny, make me spend my money
Make me feel real loose like a long necked goose
Like a--oh baby, that's a-what I like!
Child Of The Moon
(Jagger/Richards)
The wind blows rain into my face
The sun glows at the end of the highway
Child of the moon, rub your rainy eyes
Oh, child of the moon
Give me a wide-awake, crescent-shaped smile
She shivers, by the light she is hidden
She shivers like a lamp lady vision
Child of the moon, rub your rainy eyes
Oh, child of the moon
Give me a wide-awake, crescent-shaped smile
The first car on the foggy road riding
The last star for my lady is pining
Oh, child of the moon, bid the sun arise
Oh, child of the moon
Give me a misty day, pearly gray, silver, silky faced,
wide-awake,
crescent-shaped smile
Citadel
(Jagger/Richards)
Men at arms shout "Who goes there?"
We have journeyed far from here
Armed with bibles make us swear
Candy and Cathy hope you both are well
Please come see me in the citadel
Flags are flying dollar bills
From the heights of concrete hills
You can't see the pinnacles
Candy and Cathy hope you both are well
Please come see me in the citadel
In the streets of many walls
Here the peasants come and crawl
You can hear their numbers called
Candy and Cathy hope you both are well
Please come see me in the citadel
Screaming people fly so fast
In their shiny metal cars
Through the woods of steel and glass
Candy and Cathy hope you both are well
Please come see me in your citadel
Oh well.
Claudine
(Jagger/Richards)
Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine's back in jail (again)
Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine
Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine's back in jail (again)
She only does it at weekends
Claudine
Oh, Claudine
Now only Spider knows for sure
But he ain't talkin' about it any more
Is he, Claudine?
There's blood in the chalet
And blood in the snow
(She)Washed her hands of the whole damn show
The best thing you could do, Claudine
Shot him once right through the head
Shot him twice right through the chest
The judge says (ruled) it was an accident
Claudine
Accidents will happen
(In the best homes)
And Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine
(Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine) [additional chorus]
I'll tell you something
Now Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine
Tell you one more
Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine's back in jail again
Huh Claudine?
Oh Claudine...
Oooo ...
What about the children, baby?
Poor, poor children
Now I threaten my wife with a gun
I always leave the safety on
I recommend it
Claudine
Now she pistol whipped me once or twice
But she never tried to take my life
(What do you think about that)
Claudine
The prettiest girl I ever seen
I saw you on the movie screen
Hope you don't try to make a sacrifice of me
Claudine
(Don't get trigger happy with me)
Don't wave a gun at me
(Claudine)
I said Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine
I said Claudine's back in jail again
Claudine's back in jail again
She only does it at weekends
Claudine
Keith, will you put that weapon down?
Oh Claudine
Oh Claudine
C'mon Everybody
(Capeheart/Cochran)
Well c'mon everybody and let's get together tonight
I got some money in my jeans and I'm really gonna spend it right
Been a-doin' my homework all week long
now the house is empty the folks are gone
Ooo C'mon everybody
Well my baby's number one but I'm gonna dance with three or four
And the house'll be shakin' from my bare feet slapping the floor
When you hear that music you can't sit still
If your brother won't rock then your sister will
Ooo C'mon everybody
Well we'll really have a party but we gotta put a guard outside
If the folks come home I'm afraid they gonna have my hide
There'll be no more movies for a week or two
No more runnin' 'round with the usual crew
Who cares C'mon everybody
Cocksucker Blues
(Jagger/Richards)
Well, I'm a lonesome schoolboy
and I just came into town
Yeah, I'm a lonesome schoolboy
and I just came into town
Well, I heard so much about London
I decided to check it out
Well, I wait in Leicester Square
with a come-hither look in my eye
Yeah, I'm leaning on Nelsons Column
but all I do is talk to the lime
Oh where can I get my cock sucked?
Where can I get my ass fucked?
I may have no money,
but I know where to put it every time
Well, I asked a young policeman
if he'd only lock me up for the night
Well, I've had pigs in the farmyard,
some of them, some of them, they're alright
Well, he fucked me with his truncheon
and his helmet was way too tight
Oh where can I get my cock sucked?
Where can I get my arse fucked?
I ain't got no money,
but I know where to put it every time
I'm a lonesome schoolboy
Come On
(Chuck Berry)
Everything is wrong since me and my baby parted
All day long I'm walkin' 'cause I couldn't get my car started
Laid off from my job and I can't afford to check it
I wish somebody'd come along and run into it and wreck it
Come on, since me and my baby parted
Come on, I can't get started
Come on, I can't afford to check
I wish somebody'd come along and run into it and wreck it
Everything is wrong since I've been without you
Ev'ry night I lay awake thinkin' about you
Ev'ry time the phone rings it sounds like thunder
Some stupid guy try'n' to reach another number
Come on, since I've been without you
Come on, always thinkin' about you
Come on, phone sounds like thunder
Some stupid guy try'n' to reach another number
Everything is wrong since I last saw you, baby
I really wanna see you and I don't mean maybe
I'm doin' ev'rything try'n' to make you see
That I belong to you, hon, and you belong to me
Come on, I wanna see you, baby
Come on, I don't mean maybe
Come on, I'm try'n' to make you see
That I belong to you and you belong to me
Come on, I gotta see you, baby
Come on, I don't mean maybe
Come on, I've gotta make you see
That I belong to you and you belong to me
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Coming Down Again
(Jagger/Richards)
Coming down again, coming down again,
coming down again, coming down again
Share your thoughts, there's nothing you can hide,
she was dying to survive
I was caught, oh, taken for a ride,
she was showing no surprise
Coming down again, coming down again,
where are all my friends, coming down again
Coming down again, coming down again,
on the ground again, coming down again
Slipped my tongue in someone else's pie,
tasting better ev'ry time
She turned green and tried to make me cry,
being hungry it ain't no crime
Coming down again, coming down again,
all my time's been spent, coming down again
Complicated
(Jagger/Richards)
She looks so simple in her way
does the same thing everyday
but she's dedicated
to having her own way
she's very complicated
Women seem to fill her mind
and many men in so short time
but she's underrated
she treats me oh so kind
she's very complicated
We talk together and discuss
what is really best for us
she's sophisticated
my head's fit to bust
cause she's so complicated
She knows just how to please her man
Softer than a baby lamb
but she's educated
doesn't give a damn
she's very complicated
she looks so simple in her way
does the same thing everyday
but she's dedicated
to having her own way
she's very complicated
Confessin' The Blues
(Shann/Brown)
Baby here I stand before you
With my heart in my hand
I put it to you mama
Hoping that you'll understand
Oh, baby
Mama, please don't dog me 'round
Yeah I, I would rather love you, baby
Than anyone else I know in town
This is my confession, Mama
And it's sung by all your song
It proves that I'm in heaven, Mama
When you hold me in your arms
Well, baby
Can I have you for myself
Yeah, if I can't have you, baby
I don't want nobody else
Well, baby
Don't you want a man like me
Well, baby
Don't you want a man like me
Yeah, think about your future, baby
Forget about your used to be
Congratulations
(Jagger/Richards)
Congratulations
Congratulations
Well done, my friend
You've done it again
You've gone and broken another heart
Yeah you've torn it apart
You've done it before
Hope to do it some more
You've got it down to a fine art
Remember the first time
You tried to do it to me
My girl won't fall
Just wait and see
Just wait and see
Congratulations
Congratulations
You've gone and broken another heart
Yeah, you've torn it apart
La La Congratulations
Connection
(Jagger/Richards)
All I want to do is get back to you
Connection, I just can't make no connection
But all I want to do is to get back to you
Everything is going in the wrong direction
The doctor wants to give me more injections
Giving me shots for a thousand rare infections
And I don't know if he'll let me go
Connection, I just can't make no connection
But all I want to do is to get back to you
Connection, I just can't make it, connection
But all I want to do is to get back to you
My bags they get a very close inspection
I wonder why it is that they suspect 'em
They're dying to add me to their collection
And I don't know if they'll let me go
Connection, I just can't make no connection
But all I want to do is to get back to you
Connection, I just can't make no connection
But all I want to do is to get back to you
Continental
Drift
(Jagger/Richards)
Love comes at the speed of light

Open the door don't you keep me out
Open the door and let the light pour over
Hear me shout
OPen the door and let the light pour over
OPen the door don't you keep me out
Open the door and let the light pour over
Love comes at the speed of light

Cook Cook Blues
(Jagger/Richards)
You gotta cook, cook, cook every mornin'
Cook, cook, cook every night
Work hard all of the daytime
And dance, dance, dance all the night
Everytime I'm hungry I get on my knees
You can cook, cook, cook every night
Cook, cook, cook for your father
Look, look look for a wife
Took, took, took take a last glance
Before I disappear from sight
So cook, cook, cook
I'm hook, hook, hooked everytime
Cool, Calm & Collected
(Jagger/Richards)
Well she's very wealthy it's true
so in that she is one up one you
she's dressed all in red, white and blue
and she always knows more than you do
She's so affected
cool, calm, collected
She knows who to smile to today she has just been brought up in
that way
she knows all the right games to play
and she always just knows what to say
She's well respected
cool, calm, collected
She's so affected
cool, calm, collected
In public the strain's heard to bear
she exudes such a confident air
but behind she is not without care
but she sweeps it right under her hair
She's well respected
cool, calm, collected
She seems to glow brilliantly white
and her hair seems to shine in the night
with her feet unbelievably light
and her teeth ready, sharpened to bite
She's so respected
cool, calm, collected

Country Honk
(Jagger/Richards)
Sittin' in a bar tippling a jar in Jackson
And on the street the summer sun it shines

But I just can't seem to drink you off my mind
It's those Honky-Tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme those Honky Tonk blues
