Lyrics Dusty Springfield - Bad Case Of The Blues

Lyrics Dusty Springfield - Bad Case Of The Blues

Such a bad case of the blues

I thought that you would be
A little different when it came to lovin' me
Now, I see I was living a dream
'Cause all I do is cry and kiss your love goodbye

Got a bad case of the blues
It's what I get from lovin' you
Such a bad case of the blues
It's what I get from lovin' you

I thought that I would never see
How it feels to live a life of misery
I don't have anything to look forward to
But miss the love I've lost and pay the loser's cost

Got a bad case of the blues
It's what I get from lovin' you
Such a bad case of the blues
It's what I get from lovin' you

Now all I do is cry
And kiss your love goodbye, hey

Got a bad case of the blues
It's what I get from lovin' you, babe
Such a bad case of the blues
It's what I get from lovin' you

Got a bad case of the blues
It's what I get from lovin' you
Such a bad case of the blues
It's what I get from lovin' you, yeah

Got a bad case of the blues
It's what I get from lovin' you, babe
Such a bad case of the blues
It's what I get from lovin' you

Lyrics Dusty Springfield - Come Back To Me

Lyrics Dusty Springfield - Come Back To Me

Hear my voice
Where you are
Take a train
Steal a car
Hop a freight
Grab a star
Come back to me

Catch a plane
Catch a breeze
On your hands
On your knees
Swim or fly
Darling please
Come back to me

On your mark
Now get set
Hop a mule
Hop a jet
In a towel wringing wet
I don't care
This is where you should be

From the hills to the shore
Ride the wind to my door
Turn the highways to dust
Break the law if you must
Move the world
Only just come back to me

Must I yell 'til I'm blue?
Where are you and will you
Come back to me?
Have you gone to the moon
Or the corner saloon?
In Rome or Rangoon
I'm a wreck
Where in heck can you be?

In a crate
In a trunk
Half asleep
Roaring drunk
In a rolls or a van
Anyway that you can
I'd be so nice to come home to
Lover come back
Come back to me

Lyrics Dusty Springfield - I Can't Hear You No More

Lyrics Dusty Springfield - I Can't Hear You No More

Here you are again
Tellin' me you're sorry, baby
Tellin' me you wanna come on back home
Where you belong

There you go again
Lyin' and alibiin'
Singin' that same old worn out song
Here it comes now

I can't hear you no more
I've heard it all before
You ain't a reachin' me no how
No way, no time until dooms day

I can't hear you no more
I can't hear you no more

You walked out on me
Once too often baby
And I can't take no more of your jive
And that's the truth

I ain't about to let you
Run me into the ground
I'm not gonna throw away my youth
No not hardly

I can't hear you no more
I've heard it all before
You ain't a reachin' me no how
No way, no time until dooms day

I can't hear you no more
I can't hear you no more

You ain't a reachin' me no how
No way, no time until dooms day
I can't hear you no more
I can't hear you no more

You gotta speak out louder
You gotta speak out louder
'Cause I can't hear you no more
I can't hear you no more
Just a little bit louder

Lyrics Dusty Springfield - Getting It Right

Lyrics Dusty Springfield - Getting It Right

Hey boy, don't be shy
Waiting all alone
Think about what you can give
Some boys never learn
That's the way to live
And it's the secret
To getting it right

Living carefully, always filled with doubt
Scared to make a move too soon
Just once, take a chance
She will take one, too
'Cause that's the secret
To getting it right

It's not who loves you as how much do you love
And what's in your heart that shows what you're made of
You're made of love, hey, boy
It's all right
Someone understands
You don't have so far to go
Reach out for her hand
Then you'll really know
The secret to getting it right

You're made of love, hey, boy
It's all right
Someone understands
You don't have so far to go
Reach out for her hand
Then you'll really know
The secret to getting it right

Reach out, take her hand
Then you'll really know
You'll know that you're getting it right
Yes, you'll know that you're getting it right

Lyrics Dusty Springfield - Sandra

Lyrics Dusty Springfield - Sandra

She's a great little housewife
Though sometimes she talks like a fool
But she helps at the store in the holiday rush
And she picks up the kids after school
And she puts down the 'phone
When her husband comes home
And she changes from mother to wife
'Til she feels the words hanging between them
And she hangs by her words to her life

She says
I swear I love my husband
I love my kids
I wanted to be like my mother
But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did
Oh, there might have been time to be me for myself, for myself
So many things that she wishes
She don't even know what she's missing
And that's how she knows that she missed

She's a sweetheart except when she's moody
It's hard to get through to her then
Depressed for a while when the youngest was born
Ah, but that happens now and again
Ah, she might take a drink with the housework
Or when Michael's kept late at the shop
A martini or two before dinner
But she always knows when to stop

She says
I swear I love my husband
And I love my kids
And, though I wanted to be like my mother
But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did
Oh, there might have been time to be me for myself, for myself
So many things that she wishes
She don't even know what she's missing
And that's how she knows that she missed

Oh, they used to hold hands at the movies
Now it's seldom, if ever, they go
Once you pay for the sitter, and parking the car
There's no money left for the show
She was doing the dishes
When a glass fell and broke on the tile
And she cut her wrist, quite by mistake
It was real touch and go for a while

She says
Oh God, I love my husband
And I love my kids
Well, I wanted to be like my mother
But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did
Oh, there might have been time to be me for myself, for myself
So many things that she wishes
She don't even know what she's missing
And that's how she knows that she missed

Lyrics Dusty Springfield - Say I Won't Be There

Lyrics Dusty Springfield - Say I Won't Be There

Call the boys and tell them
Say I won't be there
You can tell them
I'm not going anywhere
Yesterday was dreaming
But my dream came tumbling down

Call the boys and tell them
Say I won't be there
If you see my darling
Out there in the crowd
Say I still remember
Promises we vowed
Yesterday was dreaming
But my dream came tumbling down

Call the boys and tell them
Say I won't be there
Bring me back my darling
Be my friend for life
I don't want no new lover
I just want a true lover

Call the boys and tell them
I won't spoil their fun
Everyone there dancing
But I'm the lonely one
Yesterday was dreaming
But my dream came tumbling down

Call the boys and tell them
Say I won't be there
Bring me back my darling
Be my friend for life
Oh, I don't want no new lover
I just want a true lover

Call the boys and tell them
I won't spoil their fun
Everyone there dancing
But I'm the lonely one
Yesterday was dreaming
But my dream came tumbling down

Call the boys and tell them
Say I won't be there
I won't be there

Lyrics Dusty Springfield - Born This Way

Lyrics Dusty Springfield - Born This Way

Some people know what they want to be
Some people see what they want to see
Everyday needs some kind of dream
But the complexities of life escape to an ideal scene, yeah

People try to tell you how to live your life
Let the blind lead the blind
Well, that's all right
So make up your mind
The fool or the wise
There are things in this life
Which you can't compromise

Break away
And take the time to know your mind
And leave it all behind you
And say
That's the way I am

Yeah I was born this way
Can't you see it in my eyes
Yeah, heah, heah
Oh, I was born this way
Can't you feel it in your heart
Yeah, heah, heah, oh

It's not always easy to disagree
Don't make excuses for what you see
There's one thing in life
I have no doubt
You're on the way up
On the way out, baby, oh

Some people see what's gonna be
But they hide in a corner
From reality
Sometimes you're up
And sometimes you're down
You can't spend your whole life
Just fooling around

Break away
And take the time to break the ties
And leave it all behind you and say
That's the way I am

Yeah I was born this way
Can't you see it in my eyes
Yeah, heah, heah
Oh, I was born this way
Can't you feel it in your heart and say
Yeah, heah, heah, oh

In this world
There's a love that's unspoken
Letting go
Reaching out
Then it's time to search your heart
And stop, it's you
Learn to love yourself
Respect yourself
Say that's the way I am

Say, I was born this way
Yeah, yeah, why

Lyrics Dusty Springfield - Save Me Save Me

Lyrics Dusty Springfield - Save Me Save Me

I can't stand the morning light
Now you've gone there ain't no-one
Oh, to make it right
The way you do
Every day I fall more in love with you
Knowing that you left
This heart of mine
You captured at the start
And I know you know
That I can't get through
Am I livin' a lie when
I reach for you?

You gotta save me, save me
Only you can keep me warm
Above the storm
You gotta save me, save me
You know there ain't a world enough
Without your love, ooh, hoo, hoo, love

Gonna lay my head
Try to rest my heart
Dream my dreams
But they're all of you
And they fall apart
The way I do
Every night I fall more
In love with you
I'm praying for the day
You turn around
And make your love all mine
And when I'm going down for
The very last time
You can throw me a line

You gotta save me, save me
Only you can keep me warm
Above the storm
You gotta save me, save me
You know there ain't a world enough
Without your love

When do I get to be near you?
For all time
Hear what you say again

And I know you know
That I can't get through
Am I livin' a lie when
I reach for you?
And when I'm goin' down for
The very last time
You can throw me a line
You can keep me alive

You gotta save me, save me
Only you can keep me warm
Above the storm
You gotta save me, save me
You know there ain't a world enough
Without your love, ooh, hoo, hoo

You gotta save me, save me
Only you can keep me warm
Above the storm
You gotta save me, save me
You know there ain't a world enough
Without your love

Lyrics Dusty Springfield - Girls It Ain't Easy

Lyrics Dusty Springfield - Girls It Ain't Easy

Yeah, it ain't easy
Girls it ain't easy
To keep the man you love satisfied
It ain't easy
Girls it ain't easy
To keep the one you love by your side

A woman's work is never done
Never stops, it goes on and on
You work your fingers to the bone
You gotta be home every time he phones

Sometimes the going gets a little tough
Seems like my best ain't good enough
Keeps you losing sleep
Seven days a week, yeah

It ain't easy
Girls it ain't easy
To keep the man you love satisfied
It ain't easy
Girls it ain't easy
To keep the one you love by your side

To keep him happy
You must sacrifice
Be ready and willing
To spend lonely nights
Do what you can
Though he seems ungrateful
Love him so true
Even though he seems unfaithful

But when his hope is gone
And life gets him down
That's when he'll say
He needs you around

Hard to live with him
Hard to live without him
It ain't easy, no

Oh, yeah, it ain't easy
Girls it ain't easy
It ain't easy
Girls it ain't easy

You got to favor him with understanding
When understanding is what he needs
We try hard to give them respect
All that we get is their regret

But when they're in trouble
They need our love and care
No matter when we gotta be right there
In between the crying
Gotta keep trying

It ain't easy
Girls it ain't easy, ooh, ooh, ooh
It ain't easy
Girls it ain't easy

It ain't easy
Girls it ain't easy, yeah, ooh
It ain't easy
Girls it ain't easy, no

Lyrics Dusty Springfield - Mixed Up Girl

Lyrics Dusty Springfield - Mixed Up Girl

Ah, ha, ah
Gonna let you go, my angel
Though I could make you stay
I could use my blind self-pity
Throw it in your way
But the times have turned between us
And you know I don't believe
That it makes one bit of difference
If you stay or if you leave

Why can't I be lonely
Like that lonely rushing river?
Pushing down a mountain
On it's way to meet the sea

Why can't I need somebody
Like that river needs that ocean?
Why did you have to get so mixed up, baby?
With a mixed up girl
With a mixed up girl like me, yeah

Gonna make it short now, angel
Though I could make it long
I could take through all the changes
And show you where you're wrong

But our dreams don't flow together
And you'll never, never see the light
So it really, really doesn't matter
Who is wrong or who is right?
Oh, why can't I be lonely
Like that lonely rushing river?
It's pushing down the mountain
On its way to meet the sea

Oh, why can't I need somebody
Like that river needs that ocean?
Why did you have to get so mixed up, baby
With a mixed up girl
With a mixed up girl like me?
Mmm, oh, mmm, oh

Lyrics Dusty Springfield - I Only Want To Be With You

Lyrics Dusty Springfield - I Only Want To Be With You

I don't know what it is that makes me love you so.
I only know I never want to let you go
'Cause you started something, can't you see.
Ever since we met you've had a hold on me.
It happens to be true, I only want to be with you.

It doesn't matter where you go or what you do.
I want to spend each moment of the day with you.
Look what has happened with just one kiss.
I never knew that I could be in love like this.
It's crazy but it's true, I only want to be with you.

You stopped and smiled at me,
I asked if you cared to dance,
you fell into my open arms,
I didn't stand a chance.

Now, listen, honey, I just want to be beside you everywhere.
As long as we're together, honey, I don't care
'Cause you started something, can't you see.
Ever since we met you've had a hold on me.
No matter what you do, I only want to be with you.

You stopped and smiled at me,
I asked if you cared to dance?."
you feel into my open arms,
I didn't stand a chance.

Now, listen, honey, I just want to be beside you everywhere.
As long as we're together, honey, I don't care
'Cause you started something, can't you see.
Ever since we met you've had a hold on me.
No matter what you do, I only want to be with you.
No matter, no matter what you do, I only want to be with you.
No matter, no matter what you do, I only want to be with you.

Lyrics Dusty Springfield - Girls Can't Do What The Guys Do

Lyrics Dusty Springfield - Girls Can't Do What The Guys Do

Ooh, ooh
Guys are gonna want to go out and play sometime
But girls you must not let it get you down
Just take this advice I give you
Just like a mother
You try to match a guy's independence
You end up in the gutter

Girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
Girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
No, oh no

And, listen girls when you give your heart away
You can easily be hurt
And the least little wrong he does
Always seems like dirt
So take this advice I give you
Just like a mother
You try to match a guy's independence
You end up in the gutter

Girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
Girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
No, oh, no, mmm

When you put your faith in one guy
(Sometimes he'll make you happy)
(Sometimes he'll make you cry)
Don't lose your self-respect
Tryin' to gain revenge
'Cause no matter how you do it
You lose out in the end

Girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
Girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
Girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
Girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
Girls, you can't do what the guys do, no
And still be a lady
Girls, you can't do what the guys do, no

Lyrics Dusty Springfield - Mama's Little Girl

Lyrics Dusty Springfield - Mama's Little Girl

Took the ribbon from my hair
And I'm letting it all hang down
So, if you're lookin' for the same old me
Gotta tell you that she's left town
Don't try to call my number, baby
You're gonna get no reply
'Cause suddenly I'm changin'
I'm finally rearrangin'

In this day of liberation
I'm lookin' to find my share
What's the use of being patient?
You ain't goin' nowhere
I got my own two-step together
And I want the first slow dance with you
I just saw Venus risin'
Guess I'm realisin'

I ain't mama's little girl no more
And baby, you're the first to know
I ain't mama's little girl no more
I took a little time to grow
It's gonna be worth waiting
The anticipating
I'm not mama's little baby no more

Well, I've been everyone's best friend
Someone they could tell their troubles to
How come they never noticed me
And the pain that I was going through?
I've seen the lonely side of living
I never want to go back there again
The sad old me is dyin'
Tonight there is no denyin'

I ain't mama's little girl no more
And baby, you're the first to know
I ain't mama's little girl no more
I took a little time to grow
It's gonna be worth waiting
The anticipating
I'm not mama's little baby no more

I ain't mama's little girl no more
And baby, you're the first, the first to know
I ain't mama's little girl no more
I took a little time, a time to grow
It's gonna be worth the waiting
The anticipating
I'm not mama's little baby no more, no more

I ain't mama's little girl no more
And baby, you're the first, the first to know
I said I ain't mama's little girl no, no more
I took a little time, a time to grow
It's gonna be worth the waiting
The anticipating
I'm not mama's little baby no more, no more

Lyrics Dusty Springfield - Make It With You

Lyrics Dusty Springfield - Make It With You

Ah, ha, have you ever tried
Really reaching out for the other side?
I may be climbing up rainbows
But baby, here goes
Oh, dreams, they're for those who sleep
Life is for us to keep
And if you're wonderin' what this all is leadin' to
I want to make it with you
I really think that we could make it, ooh

No, you don't know me well
And every little thing only time will tell
But you believe the things that I do
And we'll see it through
Oh, life can be short or long
Love can be right or wrong
And if I choose the one I'd like to help me through
I'd like to make it with you
I really think that we could make it, yeah, yeah, ooh

Ah, ha, and if I choose the one I'd like to help me through
Oh, hoo, I'd like to make it with you, ah, ha
Oh, baby, ah, I want to make it with you
Oh, let's make it, I want to make it with you
Oh, baby, yeah, I want to make it with you
Oh, hoo, let's make it, I want to make it with you
Ah, make it, let's make it
I want to make it with you

Lyrics Dusty Springfield - It Was Easier To Hurt Him

Lyrics Dusty Springfield - It Was Easier To Hurt Him

I should have told him that I needed him
When I had the chance
And now he's left me, and it's all over
Goodbye romance

I should have told him then
Over and over again that I love him

But it was easier to hurt him, ooh
It was easier to hurt him, ooh
It was easier to hurt him
That's what I thought was being so smart

The way I cheated him and mistreated him
How could I forget?
I was so sure that he would always trust in me
Oh, that I'd take a bet, no, no, no

He'd never say goodbye but here all alone am I
He is gone now

'Cause it was easier to hurt him, what could I do?
It was easier to hurt him, I should have known better
It was easier to hurt him
That's what I thought was being so smart, oh, oh

It was easier to hurt him, I need him so bad
It was easier to hurt him, what did I do?
It was easier to hurt him, I should have known better
It was easier to hurt him, I need him so bad

Lyrics Dusty Springfield - A Love Like Yours

Lyrics Dusty Springfield - A Love Like Yours

I broke your heart
And I made you blue
Instead of hurting back
You said I love you
That very day you won my heart
And my love for you shall never part

You have such an understanding way
And I appreciate you need what I say
'Cause a love like yours don't come knock, knock, knock, knocking
Knock, knocking everyday

Although I treated you bad from the start
Without question you gave me your heart
No, a love like yours don't come knock, knock, knock, knocking
Knock, knocking everyday

It's the little things you do
Oh, that mean so much
So very, very much
(Consideration), I never knew
That is, until I met you
Believe me

You made my life complete
And I know our love with all of my mind
You can believe going to hold on tight
'Cause a love like yours don't come knock, knock, knock, knocking
Knock, knocking everyday

No, a love like yours don't come knock, knock, knock, knocking
Knock, knocking everyday

It's the little things you do
That mean so much
So very, very much
(Consideration), no I never knew
That is, until I met you
Believe me

You made my life complete
And I know our love with all of my mind
You can believe going to hold on tight
'Cause a love like yours don't come knock, knock, knock, knocking
Knock, knocking everyday
I said a love like yours, it don't come knocking
Knock, knocking everyday
I said a love like yours, it don't come, it don't come knocking
Knock, knocking everyday
'Cause a love like yours, it don't come knocking

Lyrics Dusty Springfield - No Easy Way Down

Lyrics Dusty Springfield - No Easy Way Down

With the music of life, my soul is out of tune,
And I feel like I'm growing old much too soon,
My love for you, I just couldn't convey,
And the keys to my happiness, I let slip away.
Now I'm a man without a dream,
I've got a heart that has no hope,
All my senses are numb,
Losing you, I've become,
A man (I'm just a man) without a dream.
Instead of striving to reach my goals and my aims
I got distracted with meaningless games,
For just an illusion, I traded love that was real,
Now my eyes cannot see and my heart cannot feel.
Now I'm a man without a dream,
I've got a heart that has no hope,
All my senses are numb,
Losing you, I've become,
A man (I'm just a man) without a dream.
Sometimes I think I'm a prisoner of fate,
Doomed to find out things a little too late,
And so I must play this broken man's role,
Unless you come home, girl, and bring back my soul.
'Cause I'm a man without a dream,
I've got a heart that has no hope,
All my senses are numb,
Losing you, I've become,
A man (I'm just a man) without a dream,
Without a dream,
Without a dream.
