Casanova Brown lyrics - Gloria Gaynor

Let me tell you 'bout that jive type

That jive type

Casanova Brown

I met him at a party

He said the sweetest things when he hit on me

Wrapped up in his arms

I was blinded by his charm and I couldn't see

Like the story of little red riding hood

The big bad wolf was up to

Up to no good, woo, no

That jive type, that jive type

Casanova Brown

He hit on me and he'll hit on you

That jive type, that jive type

Casanova Brown

I was lonely and naive

I guess that's why I believed every word he says

It felt so good to hear

Every time he said he cared it went straight to my head

He loved me and left me

But I can't deny

His love was so doggone good

I still, I still love that guy, ooh, oh no hey

That jive type, that jive type

Casanova Brown

He hit on me and he'll hit on you, watch out

That jive type, that jive type, ooh

Casanova Brown

Let me tell you 'bout that jive type

that jive type

Casanova Brown

That jive type, that jive type,

Casanova Brown

I was sittin' there mindin' my business

Feelin' good, checkin' things out

Sippin' on little wine jive type, that jive type

Then I spotted

Super cool dude cross the room diggin' on me

I tried to pretend like I didn't even see him

But he was so fine

He took my hand and started to dancin'

I know he felt me fallin' for him

'Cause he kept holdin' me tighter and tighter, ooh

Sure was nice

Girl, my head was all turned around, oh

I didn't know what I was gettin' into, ooh, ow

Up to no good, oh no

That jive type, that jive type

Casanova Brown

That jive type, that jive type

Casanova Brown

Like the story of little red riding hood

The big bad wolf was up to

Up to no good, woo, oh

That jive type, that jive type

Casanova Brown

That jive type, that jive type

Casanova Brown

That jive type, that jive type

Casanova Brown

(If You Want It) Do It Yourself lyrics - Gloria Gaynor

Many years ago my dad said, 'Honey

Lady Luck may never come your way

If it's love you want not only money'

This is what my daddy used to say

Well, if you want it, go out and get it

You got to do it yourself, do-do-do, do it yourself

Well, if you want it, go out and get it

You got to do it yourself, do-do-do, do it yourself

Waitin' around for someone who can help you

Oh, someone who can help you find your way

Then if you think there's no one you can turn to

Well, there's someone just a lookin' glass away

Well, if you want it, go out and get it

You got to do it yourself, do-do-do, do it yourself

Well, if you want it, go out and get it

You got to do it yourself, do-do-do, do it yourself

Wishin' and hopin' for your fortune

Prayin' that you'll see your lucky day

(Prayin' that you'll see your lucky day)

If you're lookin' for some inspiration

This is what my daddy used to say

Well, if you want it, go out and get it

You got to do it yourself, do-do-do, do it yourself

Well, if you want it, go out and get it

You got to do it yourself, do-do-do, do it yourself

(Prayin' that you'll see your lucky day)

Do-do-do

Well, if you want it, go out and get it

You got to do it yourself, do-do-do, do it yourself

Well, if you want it, go out and get it

You got to do it yourself, do-do-do, do it yourself

Well, if you want it, go out and get it

You got to do it yourself, do-do-do, do it yourself

Well, if you want it, go out and get it

You got to do it yourself, do-do-do, do it yourself

Well, if you want it, go out and get it

You got to do it yourself, do-do-do, do it yourself

Well, if you want it, go out and get it

You got to do it yourself, do-do-do, do it yourself

How High The Moon lyrics - Gloria Gaynor

Somewhere there's music

How faint the tune

Oh, somewhere there's heaven

How high the moon

There is no moon above

When love is far away too

Till it comes true

That you love me as I love you

Somewhere there's music

It's where you are

Oh, somewhere there's heaven

How near, how far

The brightest night would shine

If you would come to me soon

Until you will

Ooh, how still

My aching heart

How high the moon

(Somewhere there's music)

(It's where you are)

(Somewhere there's heaven)

(How near, how far)

The brightest night would shine

If you would come to me soon

Until you will

Ooh, how still

My aching heart

How high the moon

Somewhere there's music, music in the air

Oh, and I love this heaven, heaven when you're near

Oh, when you're near

I wanna hear the music

I know it's where you are

Please let me hear it

I'm Still Yours lyrics - Gloria Gaynor

"Been a lot of places.

And met a lot of guys.

One didn't have curly hair.

And one had pretty eyes.

But I don't know whats wrong with me,

I couldn't seem to care.

I just could not accept the love,

They offered me to share.

And I'm still yours.

I'm still yours.

I never thought when we broke up,

That you'd be haunting me.

I thought that when you let me go,

That I would just be free.

But I cant seem to tell my heart,

I can't make it understand.

There may be someone else for me,

You're not the only man.

And I'm still yours,

I'm still yours.

Oooh I'm like a slave

Who's master,

Cause he no longer reigns.

Although your gone,

My heart and my mind,

Are still walked by your chain.

If you can't leave my heart alone

And stop toying with my soul,

Then please come back.

You've got my life to mold.

To have, to hold.

And I'm still yours,

I'm still yours.

I will always be your baby.

Walk On By lyrics - Gloria Gaynor

(originally by Dionne Warwick)

You always said my eyes

Were the windows of my soul

You could always fill my love

And pain without been told

I never knew how, but I don't

Even dare to look at you now.

So, if you see me walking down the street

And I start to cry each time we leave

Walk on by, walk on by

Make believe

That you don't see the tears

Just let me grieve

In private 'cause each time I see you

I break down and cry, ooh baby,

Walk on by, ooh darling

Please, Walk on by,

I don't wanna you to see me cry

Walk on by, please, please

Baby, baby don't stop...

So, if you ever love

Look the other way

There is anything left to say

Anyway...

I just can't get over losing you

And so if I seem broken and blue

Walk on by, walk on by

Foolish pride

Is all that I have left

So let me hide

The tears and the sadness you gave me

When you said goobye, ooh baby

Walk on by, ooh sugar

Walk on by...(baby, baby don't stop)

Baby, baby don't stop

Walk on by...ub..eh

Walk on by...

Foolish pride

Is all that I have left

So let me hide

The tears and the sadness you gave me

When you said goodbye

Walk on by..uuh baby

Walk on by...uuh sugar

Walk on by... walk on by

I don't want to see me cry

Walk on by, walk on by...

All the tears that I have cry...

I don't have nothing left to say...

Please take your head... look the other way...

Wow...wow...wow...walk on by...

Walk on by....

Never Can Say Goodbye lyrics - Gloria Gaynor

I never can say goodbye

No, no, no, I

I never can say goodbye

Every time I think I've had enough

And start heading for the door

There's a very strange vibration

Piercing me right to the core

It says, "Turn around, you fool

You know you love him more and more"

Tell me why is it so?

Don't wanna let you go!

Hey, I never can say goodbye boy, ooh baby

I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, hey

I never can say goodbye

Oh, no, I

I never can say goodbye

I keep thinking that our problems

Soon are all gonna work out

But there's that same unhappy feeling

And there's that anguish, there's that doubt

It's that same old dizzy hang-up

I can't do with you or without

Tell me why is it so?

I don't wanna let you go!

Hey, I never can say goodbye boy, ooh baby

I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, oo

Hey, I never can say goodbye boy, ooh baby

I never can say goodbye, no no no, no no no

Hey, I never can say goodbye boy, no, no, no, baby

Hey, I never can say goodbye, no, no, no

Please don't make me say good-bye

Hey, I never can say goodbye

Reach Out (I'll Be There) lyrics - Gloria Gaynor (originally by Four Tops)

Now if you feel that you can't go on

Because all your hope is gone

And your life is filled with confusion

And happiness is just an illusion

And your world around is tumblin' down

Darling, reach out

Reach out, for me.

I'll be there to love and comfort you...(tell me baby)

I'll be there with the love I'll see you through

Now when you're lost and about to give up

'cause your best just ain't good enough

And you feel the world has grown cold

And you're driftin' on your own

When you need a hand to hold

Darling, reach out

Reach out, for me.

I'll be there to love and comfort you

I'll be there with the love I'll see you through

I'll be there to love and comfort you

I'll be there to with the love I'll see you through

I can tell you the way I hang your head

Now with out of love, now you're afraid

And through your tears you look around

But there's no peace of mind to be found

I know what you're thinking

Without love, now you're alone

Baby, reach out

Reach out for me

I'll be there to love and comfort you

I'll be there with the Love I'll see you through

I'll be there to love and comfort you

Tell me baby

I'll be there to always see you through

I'll be there

I'll be there to love and comfort you

I'll be there with the love I'll see you through.

All I Need Is Your Sweet Lovin' lyrics - Gloria Gaynor

Precious darling you know you're my man

All you got to do is wave your hand

Yes, I cherish all you got to give

I don't need nothing' else to live

All I need is your sweet lovin'

All I want is to feel it comin'

All I need is your sweet lovin'

All I want is your love

Taste that honey flowin' from your lips

I start shakin' from your fingertips

glowin' steady, movin' right on time

Feel so warm in these arms of mine

All I need is your sweet lovin'

All I want is to feel it comin'

All I need is your sweet lovin'

All I want is your love

Now darlin' when I'm with you

Say it feels so good inside

It's just makin' love to you

I'm so satisfied

All I need is your sweet lovin'

All I want is to feel it comin'

All I need is your sweet lovin'

All I want is your love

Yeah, baby

Searchin' lyrics - Gloria Gaynor

Got to keep on

I got to keep on searchin'

Such a low-down feeling

It keeps me from working

I thought our love was strong and true

Until I read your note who made me so blue

And now dark clouds form all over my head

It looks like rain, it's rainin' above

I got to keep on

I got to keep on searchin'

Such a low-down feeling

It keeps me from working

I got to keep on

I got to keep on searchin'

I got to keep on searchin'

Until I find you

Explain it to you

Really lost this time, a love so true

And memories of how it was, it makes me so blue

And now dark clouds all begin to cry

It looks like rain, it's raining from my eyes

I got to keep on

I got to keep on searchin'

Such a low-down feeling

It keeps me from working

I got to keep on

I got to keep on searchin'

I got to keep on searchin'

Until I find you

Explain it to you

I got to keep on

I got to keep on searchin'

Such a low-down feeling

It keeps me from working

We Belong Together lyrics - Gloria Gaynor

Sometimes you say you love me

Sometimes you say you need me, baby

But then you're always leaving me

I need your love, not just sympathy

I know you don't really care

But then you always swear

That you and I were meant to be

Oh, you tell me

We belong together

We can make it better and better

We belong together

Oh, forever and ever and ever

So many times I tried

To bring you closer to me, baby

I tried to make you see

How happy you and I can be

I know I'm wasting my time

But you keep giving me that same old line

That you and I were meant to be

Oh, you tell me

We belong together

We can make it better and better

We belong together

Oh, forever and ever and ever

We belong together

We can make it better and better

We belong together

Oh, forever and ever and ever

We belong together

We can make it better and better

We belong together

Oh, forever and ever and ever

False Alarm lyrics - Gloria Gaynor

Hey diddle diddle, I'm in the middle

I thought you ran away with my heart

Oh, Mother Mary is quite the contrarian

The fire never really got a chance to start

Now you might think I'm crazy

To say these things so fast

Thought I'd fallen in love again

And long it won't go and last

But it was only a...

False alarm, false alarm

All wrapped up in your lovin' charm

A pretty face sent my head into space

Made me think you were the one

But in the end I knew you'd run

False alarm, false alarm

All wrapped up in your lovin' charm

A pretty face sent my head into space

Knew I'd lose you, I suppose

But you're still the one I chose

I get excited when love's invited

To play another game with my heart

Think nothin' of it, you know I love it

Cause we'll have a lot of fun before we have to part

Now you may think I'm crazy

To speak of love like this

But if you find a guy so sweet

With looks as good as his

You'd rush right into a...

False alarm, false alarm

All wrapped up in your lovin' charm

A pretty face sent my head into space

From the start I shoulda known

You would never be my own

False alarm, false alarm

All wrapped up in your lovin' charm

A pretty face sent my head into space

Made me think you were the one

But in the end I knew you'd run

Made me think you were the one

But in the end I knew you'd run

I must confess, this has happened to me before

Falling in love with new and old friends

In fact, it's happened about 50 times!

There's another pretty face

And well, there I go, off to another...

False alarm, false alarm

All wrapped up in your lovin' charm

A pretty face sent my head into space

Knew I'd lose you, I suppose

But you're still the one I chose

False alarm, false alarm

All wrapped up in your lovin' charm

A pretty face sent my head into space

Can't Take My Eyes Off You lyrics - Gloria Gaynor

(originally by Frankie Valli)

You're just too good to be true

Can't take my eyes off of you

You'd be like heaven to touch

I want to hold you so much

At long last love has arrived

And I thank God I'm alive

You're just too good to be true

Can't take my eyes off of you

Pardon the way that I stare

There's nothing else to compare

The thought of you leaves me weak

There are no words left to speak

But if you feel like I feel

Then let me know that it's real

You're just too good to be true

Can't take my eyes off of you

I love you baby and if it's quite all right

I need you baby to warm the lonely nights

I love you baby, trust in me when I say

I love you baby, don't let me down I pray

I love you baby, now that I've found you stay

And let me love you baby, let me love you

You're just too good to be true

Can't take my eyes off of you

You'd be like heaven to touch

I want to hold you so much

At long last love has arrived

And I thank God I'm alive

You're just too good to be true

Can't take my eyes off of you

I love you baby and if it's quite all right

I need you baby to warm the lonely nights

I love you baby, trust in me when I say

I love you baby, don't let me down I pray

I love you baby, now that I've found you stay

And let me love you baby, let me love you

I love you baby and if it's quite all right

I need you baby to warm the lonely nights

I love you baby, trust in me when I say

I love you baby and if it's quite all right

I need you baby to warm the lonely nights

I love you baby, trust in me when I say

First Be A Woman lyrics - Gloria Gaynor

You can go to Harvard

You can be a pilot

You can be an astronaut

But first, be a woman, ooh ooh...

When you're walking down the street

Show your feminine appeal

Even tho' you're wearing jeans

It's important to be real

You were born to be yourself

So no matter how you feel

If you want to impress the opposite sex

When he takes you for a ride

Let him open you the door

When he asks you for a dance

Let him lead you to the floor

When he kisses you good night

You just leave him wanting more

You can do all you can

Say I am what I am

But first be a woman... oh oh oh oh

When he takes you out to dine

Don't you end up in his bed

Wedding bells will ring in time

Make him dream of you instead

And his passion can be like

All the stories that you've read

He can be Romeo if you act like Juliet

Nowadays it ends too soon

Even tho' it's just begun

You can take him to the moon

He'll leave with the morning sun

So take a lesson from the past

Make him want and make him run...

(You can't be a quarterback

He can't wear a pretty dress

You cannot be Superman

And he's not a shy princess

So why try to be alike

When it's only self defense?

You've got grace, he's got style

And together you'll rhyme

So remember to be true

To the legend that you are

All the feminine in you

Has worked miracles so far

So head up high and don't be shy

You can reach for any star

You can do all you can...

Say I am what I am

You can be an executive

Hhh! You can drive a train

You can be a detective...

I'll Be There lyrics - Gloria Gaynor

Now if you feel that you can’t go on

Because all your hope is gone

And your life is filled with confusion

And happiness is just an illusion

And your world around is tumblin’ down

Darling, reach out

Reach out, for me.

I’ll be there to love and comfort you...(tell me baby)

I’ll be there with the love I’ll see you through

Now when you’re lost and about to give up

’cause your best just ain’t good enough

And you feel the world has grown cold

And you’re driftin’ on your own

When you need a hand to hold

Darling, reach out

Reach out, for me.

I’ll be there to love and comfort you

I’ll be there with the love I’ll see you through

I’ll be there to love and comfort you

I’ll be there to with the love I’ll see you through

I can tell you the way I hang your head

Now with out of love , now you’re afraid

And through your tears you look around

But there’s no peace of mind to be found

I know what you’re thinking

Without love, now you’re alone

Baby, reach out

Reach out for me

I’ll be there to love and comfort you

I’ll be there with the love I’ll see you through

I’ll be there to love and comfort you

Tell me baby

I’ll be there to always see you through

I’ll be there

I’ll be there to love and comfort you

I’ll be there with the love I’ll see you through.

Last Night lyrics - Gloria Gaynor

I've been spending too much time

Living in your world instead of mine

Telling myself that's where I'd rather be

Pouring the coffee and pouring the wine

Waiting for you to have forever in mind

So much more than childish fantasies

It's the last night

It's our last kiss

For tomorrow I'll be gone

It takes more than love to keep me in your arms

It's the last night

Come the sunrise

You can catch me moving on

It takes more than love to make a woman feel like she belongs

See I've got dreams, I've been dreaming too

Maybe this time I will see them through

With a man who wants a love for keeps

I put on my lipstick and pack me a bag

Check my look in the mirror and call me a cab

Gonna drive 'til your pull is out of reach

Oh, it's the last night

It's our last kiss

For tomorrow I'll be gone

It takes more than love to keep me in your arms

It's the last night

Come the sunrise

You can catch me moving on

It takes more than love to make a woman feel like she belongs

I wish you the very best, you know I really do

You'll find someone who has temporary dreams like you

Baby, mine, mine go on forever

I can feel the future and the wind inside my hair

Something's trying to tell me there's a whole new world out there

Baby, I'm sure it just gets better

Oh, it's the last night

It's our last kiss

For tomorrow I'll be gone

It takes more than love to keep me in your arms

It's the last night

Come the sunrise

You can catch me moving on

It takes more than love to make a woman feel like she belongs

Love Is Just A Heartbeat Away lyrics - Gloria Gaynor

(from "Nocturna" soundtrack)

Love is just a heartbeat away

I feel it's gonna happen today (baby)

Love is just a heartbeat away

I'm craving all the things I can say

I'm in love with you

You're inside my soul

And when I'm with you

I just lose control

Whatever I am

Wherever I go

Stay with me

Love is just, love is just

Love is just, love is just

Love is just a heartbeat away

I feel it's gonna happen today (baby)

Love is just a heartbeat away

I'm waiting for a man who will stay

I'm in love with you

Now turn on my dream

Please, be real

Let's keep love our theme

You're what I want

You're what I need

I love you

Love is just, love is just

Love is just, love is just

Love is just a heartbeat away

I feel it's gonna happen today (baby)

Love is just a heartbeat away

I feel it's gonna happen today

Now my love is here

No more nights alone

'Cause I know you're real

From the love you've shown

Faithful and true

My special affair

I'm in love with you

Love is just, love is just

Love is just, love is just

Love is just, love is just

Love is just a heartbeat away

I feel it's gonna happen today (baby)

Love is just a heartbeat away

I feel it's gonna happen today (baby)

Love is just a heartbeat away

I feel it's gonna happen today

Love is just a heartbeat away

I'm waiting for a man who will stay

Every time I think I've had enough

Tell me why is it so?
I don't wanna let you go!

Hey, I never can say goodbye boy, ooh baby

Hey, I never can say goodbye, no, no, no
Please don't make me say good-bye

Hey, I never can say goodbye
