LYNDA CARTER'S SPECIAL LOVE THE ONE YOU'RE WITH

There's a rose in the fisted glove / And the eagle flies with the dove / And if you can't be with the one you love / Love the one you're with / Love The One You’re With / When you're down and confused / And you don't remember who you're talking to / Concentration, slips away / Because your baby is so far away / Well there's a rose in the fisted glove / And the eagle flies with the dove / And if you can't be with the one you love, honey / Love the one you're with / Love the one you're with / Love the one you're with / Love the one you're with / Now, don't be angry, don't be sad / And don't sit crying over good times you've had / Get it together, and make it nice / You ain't gonna need any more advice / There's a rose in the fisted glove / And the eagle flies with the dove / But if you can't be with the one you love, honey / Love the one you're with, / Love the one you're with / Love the one you're with / Love the one you're with / Love the one you're with / Love the one you're with / Doo doot doot doot doot doot doot doot…

LYNDA CARTER'S SPECIAL SOMETIMES WHEN WE TOUCH

You ask me if I love you / And I choke on my reply / I’d rather hurt you honestly / Than mislead you with a lie / And who am I to judge you / On what you say or do / I’m only just beginning / To see the real you / And sometimes when we touch / The honesty’s too much / And I have to close my eyes and hide / I wanna hold you till I die / Till we both break down and cry / I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides / At times I’d like to break you / And drive you to your knees / At times I’d like to break through / And hold you endlessly / At times I understand you / And I know how hard you try / I watched while love commands you / And I’ve watched love pass you by / At times I think we’re drifters / Still searching for a friend / A brother or a sister / But then the passion flares again / And sometimes when we touch / The honesty’s too much / And I have to close my eyes and hide / I want to hold ya till I die / Till we both break down and cry / I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides / Subsides.

LYNDA CARTER'S SPECIAL RUBBER BAND MAN

Hand me down my walkin' cane / Hand me down my hat / Hurry now and don't be late / 'Cause we ain't got time to chat / You and me were goin' out / To catch the latest sound / Guranteed to blow your mind / So high you won't come down / Hey y'all prepare yourself for the rubberband man / You've never heard a sound / Like the rubberband man / You're bound to lose control / When the rubberband starts to jam / Once I went to hear them play / At a club outside of town / I was so surprised / I was hypnotized / By the sound these cats put down / When I saw this short fat guy / Stretch a band between his toes / Hey I laughed so hard 'cause the man got down / When he finally reached his nose / Hey y'all prepare yourself for the rubberband man / You've never heard a sound / Like the rubberband man / You're bound to lose control / When the rubberband starts to jam / Doo-doo-doo-do / Doo-doo-doo-do / Rubberband man / Hand me down my walkin' cane / Hand me down my hat / Hurry now and don't be late / 'Cause we ain't got time to chat / You and me were goin' out / To catch the latest sound / Guranteed to blow your mind / So high you won't come down / Hey y'all prepare yourself for the rubberband man / You've never heard a sound / Like the rubberband man / You're bound to lose control / When the rubberband starts to jam / Doo-doo-doo-do / Rubberband man.

LYNDA CARTER'S SPECIAL AIN'T IT GOOD BABE (YOU AND ME)

Ain't it good babe, you and me / We sailed the stormy waters, we calmed the angry sea / We knew we could babe, you and me / Just as long as we have you and me / What more can a man want, than a woman by his side / To understand, and  hold his hand/ That every day can be the same, sometimes it's gonna rain / You are my sunshine (thank you), and I'm your man / Ain't it good babe, you and me / We sailed the stormy waters, we calmed the angry sea / We knew we could babe, you and me / Just as long as we have you and me / What more could a woman want than a man there beside her / Thru the good times, we had bad times (wait a minute!) / You've always been a pillow, a shoulder and a friend / And I thank God, that you are mine / Ain't it good babe, you and me / We sailed the stormy waters, we calmed the angry sea / We knew we could babe, you and me / Just as long as we have you and me.

LYNDA CARTER'S SPECIAL TOTO (DON'T IT FEEL LIKE PARADISE)

Toto I get the feelin' we're not in Kansas anymore / Through the wind and storm / We find ourselves alone / Toto I get the feelin' we're not in Kansas anymore / We're on a golden road in a moving picture show / (Chorus:) Oh, don't it feel like paradise / (And) Oh, how could somethin' be so nice? / But at least I've got company / 'Cause Toto, it's you and me And here we go / Toto, I get the feelin' we're not in Kansas anymore / But all I want to know Is how do we get home / Toto, we've found our way inside a book of dreams / Our time is almost gone, yet it seems it's just begun / (Chorus) / 'Cause I wanna go home / I wanna go home...

Ooooh... He's the greatest dancer / Oooooh... That I've ever seen... / One night in a disco / On the outskirts of Frisco / I was cruising' with my favorite gang / The place was so boring / Filled with out-of-towners touring / I knew that it wasn't my thing / I really wasn't caring / But I felt my eyes staring / At a guy who stood out in the crowd / He had the kind of body / That would shame Adonis / And a face that would make any man cry / Oh... what... wow ! He's the greatest dancer / Oh... what... wow ! That I've ever seen... / He wears the finest clothes / The best designers, heaven knows / Ooh, from his head down to his toes / Halston, Gucci, Fiorucci / He looks like a still / That man is dressed to kill / Oh... what... wow ! He's the greatest dancer / Oh... what... wow ! That I've ever seen... / I love the way you move...

LYNDA CARTER - ENCORE! THE LAST SONG

You're neither here nor there, but somehow you're eveywhere / Or is that the wind reminding me of how you touched my hair / We used to laugh at time, but wasn't that yesterday / Didn't we touch / Didn't we feel / Didn't the music play / It's the last song I'm ever gonna hear / It's the last song that makes me feel you're near / It was the last dream that ever had a chance of coming true / The music of my life has gone with you / Why can't the past begin / Why did the future end / Would it betray a memory if I could love again / We never reached the sun, not cause we didn't try / We were so close, we were so warm, why did the music died / It's the last song I'm ever gonna hear/ It's the last song that makes me feel you're near / It was the last time that I ever shared the feelings that we knew / The music of my life has gone with you.

I stayed out late one night and you moved in / I didn't mind 'cause of the state you were in / May I remind you that it's been a year since then? / Today the landlady, she said to me, "Your loony friend just made a pass at me" / Perhaps you might enjoy a cottage by the sea / So pack your toys away, your pretty boys away, your forty-fives away, your alibis away, your silly lies away, your old tie-dyes away, your one more tries away / You're moving out today / You nasty habits ain't confined to bed / The grocer told me what you do with bread / Why don't you take up with the baker's wife instead of me? / Pack up your rubber duck / I'd like to wish you luck / Your funny cigarettes, your sixty-one cassettes / pack all your clothes away / your rubber hose away,
your old day glows away / You're movin' out today / "I hate to do it"... /  Pack up you dirty looks / your songs that have no hooks / your stacks of Modern Screen / your portrait of the queen / your mangy cat away / your baby fat away / You're headed that a-way / You're moving out today / Pack up your fork and spoon / but leave my Lorna Doones / Your map of Mozambique / Your waterbed that leaks / la la la la la la la la la / la la la la la la la la . . . / Can't help it...

LYNDA CARTER'S CELEBRATION MEDLEY

Someday, when I'm awfully low / When the world is cold / I will feel a glow just thinking of you / And the way you look tonight / Yes, you're lovely / With your smile so warm / And your cheek so soft / There is nothing for me but to love you / Just the way you look tonight / The very thought of you and I forget to do / The ordinary things that everyone ought to do / I see you face in every flower, your eyes in stars above / It's just the thought of you, the very thought of you, my love / You must remember this / A kiss is still a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh / The fundamental things apply / As time goes by / Moonlight and love songs / Never out of date / Hearts full of passion / Jealousy and hate / Woman needs man / And man must have his mate / That no one can deny / It's still the same old story / A fight for love and glory / A case of do or die / The world will always welcome lovers / As time goes by / Oh yes, the world will always welcome lovers / As time goes by.

I'm the same old girl that I used to be / I haven't changed at all / I got the same old walk and the same old talk / That would run you up the wall / The same old face and the same old smile and / The same old baby blues / And I'm still doing the rhumba, baby / So I'm still the girl for you / I'm still doing the rhumba baby / I can't seem to quit / If my mama catches us doing the rhumba / Mama would just pitch a fit / But I can't help myself, it's much bigger than me / If I were you, I'd hang onto a rhumba girl like me / There's lots of girls on the floor tonight / With a lot slicker steps than me / The boogaloo and the funky broadway / Are such a pretty sight to see / My step might be old fashioned / But it's just fine with me / I got a couple of rhumba steps / You might like to see / I'm still doing the rhumba baby / I can't seem to quit / If my mama catches us doing the rhumba / Mama would just pitch a fit / But I can't help myself, it's much bigger than me / I got a couple of rhumba steps / You might like to see.

Looking out on the morning rain / I used to feel so uninspired / Oh when I knew I had to face another day / Lord, it made me feel so tired / Before the day I met you, life was so unkind / But you're the key to my peace of mind / You make me feel, you make feel, you make me feel like a natural woman / Woman... Talk to me now / When my soul was in the lost-and-found / You came alone to claim it / I didn't know just what was wrong with me / Till your kiss helped me name it / Oh / Now I'm no longer a doubtful of what I'm living for / If I make you happy I don't need to do more / You make me feel, you make feel, you make me feel like a natural woman / Oh, Oh baby, what you've done to me / And you make me feel so good inside / And I just want to be close to you / You make me feel so alive / You make me feel, you make feel, you make me feel like a natural woman...

LYNDA CARTER'S CELEBRATION THE ROSE

Some say love, it is a river that drowns the tender reed / Some say love, it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed / Some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need / I say love, it is a flower, and you it's only seed / It's the heart, afraid of breaking, that never learns to dance / It's the dream, afraid of waking, that never takes a chance / It's the one who won't be taken, who cannot seem to give / And the soul, afraid of dyin', that never learns to live / When the night has been too lonely, and the road has been too long / And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong / Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows / Lies the seed, that with the sun's love, in the spring becomes The Rose.

/ Goodness gracious great balls of fire /
I'm alright / Nobody worry 'bout me / Why you got to gimme a fight? / Can't you just let me be? / I'm alright / Don't nobody worry 'bout me / Why you got to gimme a fight / Why don't you just let me be / I'm Alright... / Alright / Alright... / Nobdy worry 'bout me.

When the night has come, and the land is dark, and the moon is the only light we see / No, I won't be afraid; Oh, I won't be afraid, just as long as you stand, stand by me / So darling, darling, stand by me, oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me / If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall, or the mountain should crumble to the sea / I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't be afraid, just as long as you stand by me / So darling, darling, stand by me, oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me /  Darling, darling, stand by me, oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me.

LYNDA CARTER - STREET LIFE HE'S OUT OF MY LIFE

He's out of my life / He's out of my life / I don't know whether to laugh or cry / I don't know whether to live or die / And it cuts like a knife / He's out of my life / It's out of my hands / It's out of my hands / To think for two years he was here / But I took him for granted I was so cavalier / And the way that it stands / He's out of my hands / So I've learned that loves not possession / And so I've learned that love won't wait / Now I've learned that love needs expression / But I learned too late / He's out of my life / He's out of my life / Damned in decision and cursed pride / I kept my love for him locked deep inside / And it cuts like a knife / He's out of my life.

LYNDA CARTER - STREET LIFE LIVING IN THE U.S.A.

Oh well, oh well, I feel so good today / I just touched ground on an international runway / Jet propelled back home, from over the seas to the U.S.A. / New York, Los Angeles, oh, how I yearned for you, yeah / Detroit, Chicago, Chattanooga, Baton Rouge / Got alone just to be at my home back in ol' St. Lou. / Did I miss the skyscrapers, did I miss the long freeway? / From the coast of California to the shores of Delaware Bay / You can bet your life I did, till I got back to the U.S.A.  / Yeah, yeah / Looking hard for a drive-in, searching for a corner caé / Where hamburgers sizzle on an open grill night and day / Yeah, and a juke-box jumping with records like in the U.S.A. / Well, I'm so glad I'm livin' in the U.S.A. / Yes. I'm so glad I'm livin' in the U.S.A.  / Anything you want, we got right here in the U.S.A. / I'm so glad... / I'm so glad... / I'm so glad...

LYNDA CARTER - BODY AND SOUL I GOT A NAME

Like the pine trees lining the winding road / I've got a name, I've got a name / Like the singin' bird and the croakin' toad / I've got a name, I've got a name / And I carry it with me like my mamma did / But I'm livin' the dream that she kept hid / Movin' me down the highway, rollin' me down the highway / Movin' ahead so life won't pass me by / Like the North wind whistlin' down the sky / I've got a song, I've got a song / Like the whippoorwill and the babies' cry / I've got a song, I've got a song / And I carry it with me and I sing it loud / If it gets me nowhere, I go there proud / Movin' me down the highway, rollin' me down the highway / Movin' ahead so life won't pass me by / And I'm gonna go there free... / Like the fool I am and I'll always be / I've got a dream, I've got a dream / They can change their minds but they can't change me / I've got a dream, I've got a dream / And I know I can share it if you want me to / If you're goin' my way, I'll go with you / Movin' me down the highway, rollin' me down the highway / Movin' ahead so life won't pass me by / Movin' me down the highway, rollin' me down the highway / Movin' ahead so life won't pass me by.

Pardon me, boy / Is that the Chattanooga choo choo? / Track twenty-nine / Boy, you can gimme a shine / I can afford / To board a Chattanooga choo choo / I've got my fare / And just a trifle to spare / You leave the Pennsylvania Station 'bout a quarter to four / Read a magazine and then you're in Baltimore / Dinner in the diner / Nothing could be finer / Than to have your ham an' eggs in Carolina / When you hear the whistle blowin' eight to the bar / Then you know that Tennessee is not very far / Shovel all the coal in / Gotta keep it rollin' / Woo, woo, Chattanooga there you are / There's gonna be / A certain party at the station / I'm in a satin and lace / I used to call "funny face" / She's gonna cry / Until I tell her that I'll never roam / So Chattanooga choo choo / Won't you choo-choo me home? / Chattanooga choo choo / Won't you choo-choo me home?

LYNDA CARTER - BODY AND SOUL THE HERO

Here's to the hero in yesterday's clothes / Who wakes for tomorrow, whose name no-one knows / Here's to the dreamers who won't ever fly / Who'll wish on a star, who won't reach the sky / These are the brave and the strong / Who know how to cry when they're wrong / To stand when they'd most like to fall / This is the hero that lives in us all / Here's to a mother, who hopes and who fears / Who teaches a smile as she holds back a tear / And here's to the children afraid of the dark / Who face all the shadows with trust in their hearts / These are the brave and the strong / Who know how to cry when they're wrong / To stand when they'd most like to fall / This is the hero / Yes this is the hero that lives in us all.

LYNDA CARTER - BODY AND SOUL 30s MOVIES MEDLEY

I'm putting on my top hat / tying up my white tie, brushing off my tails / I'm duding up my shirt front / putting in shirt studs, polishing my nails / There may be trouble ahead / But while there's music and moonlight (moonlight and music) and love and romance / Let's face the music and dance / Before the fiddlers have fled / Before they ask us to pay the bill, and while we still have that chance / Let's face the music and dance / Steppin' out with my baby / Can't go wrong 'cause I'm in right / It's for sure, not for maybe / That I'm all dressed up tonight / Steppin' out with my baby / Can't go wrong 'cause I'm in right / Ask me when will the day be / The big day may be tonight / Fascinating rhythm / Youve got me on the go! / Fascinating rhythm / Heaven, I'm in Heaven / Come and meet those dancing feet / On the avenue I'm taking you to / Forty-Second Street / Hear the beat of dancing feet / It's the song I love the melody of / Forty-Second Street / Little "nifties" from the Fifties / Innocent and sweet / Sexy ladies from the Eighties / Who are indiscreet / They're side by side, they're glorified / Where the underworld can meet the elite / Forty-Second Street / Good night, baby / Good night / Milkman's on his way / Doon, doon, doon / Sleep tight, baby / Sleep tight. Let's call it a day / Steppin' Out With my baby / Steppin' Out With my baby / Steppin' Out With my baby / Fascinating Rhythm.

LYNDA CARTER - BODY AND SOUL THREE SIDES TO EVERY STORY

You say you know exactly how I feel / It's what you see, but you're not me / I'm very sure, I always see your side / My point of view, I am not you / We cannot stand behind each other's eye and know what bring to tears / If we could, we could, we might just save these years / But there's three sides to every story / There's yours, there's mine and there's the truth / The answer somewhere in between / What we say and what we see / Just so much to do / You say you know exactly what went wrong / We shared a name / But not the blame / I'm very sure I always know your heart / It's where I find, but it's my mind / It's like an old mirror to ourselves / And see the same sweet guy / If we could this love would work out right / But there are three sides to every story / There's yours, there's mine and there's the truth / The answer somewhere in between / What we say and what we see / Just so much to do / Somehow to do.
