#16 Keepin' Out of Mischief Now by Taj Mahal

Lyric by Andy Razaf
Music by Thomas “Fats” Waller

Keeping out of mischief now.
I really am in love and how.
I’m through playin with fire.
It’s you whom I desire.
All the world can plainly see.
You’re the only one for me.
I have told them in advance.
They can’t break up our romance.
Livin up to all my vows.
‘Cause I’m keepin out of mischief now.
Out of mischief now.
I am in love and how.
I’m through playin with fire.
It’s you whom I desire.
All the world can see.
You’re the one for me.
I have told them in advance.
They can not break up our romance.
I’m livin up to all my vows.
‘Cause I’m keepin’ out of mischief now.

#15 Found Love by Jimmy Reed

I found true love, one worth waitin’ for
I found true love, one worth waitin’ for
I’m gonna sign it to a contract, you won’t find one little flaw

It’s hard to believe the condition the world is in
It’s hard to believe the condition the world is in
You can’t trust nobody and girl you know it’s a sin

I found true love, one worth me waitin’ for
I found true love, one worth me waitin’ for
And I’ll sign it to a contract, you won’t find one little flaw

#14 Baby, It's Cold Outside by Dean Martin

I really can’t stay
(but baby it’s cold outside)
I’ve got to go away
(but baby it’s cold outside)
This evening has been
(been hoping that you’d drop in)
So very nice
(i’ll hold your hands, they’re just like ice)
My mother will start worry
(beautiful whats your hurry)
My father will be pacing the floor
(listen to the fireplace roar)
So really i’d better scurry
(beautiful please don’t hurry)
but maybe just a half a drink more
(put some records on while i pour)
the neighbors might faint
(baby it’s bad out there)
say what’s in this drink
(no cabs to be had out there)
i wish i knew how
(your eyes are like starlight now)
to break this spell
(i’ll take your hat, your hair looks swell)
i ought to say “no, no, no sir”
(mind if i move in closer)
at least i’m gonna say that i tried
(what’s the sense in hurtin’ my pride)
i really can’t stay
(oh baby don’t hold out)

both:baby it’s cold out side

i simply must go
(but baby it’s cold outside)
the answer is no
(but baby it’s cold outside)
your welcome has been
(how lucky that you droped in)
so nice and warm
(look out the window at that storm)
my sister will be suspicious
(gosh your lips look delcious)
my brother will be there at the door
(waves upon the tropical shore)
my maiden aunts mind is vicious
(gosh your lips are delicous)
but maybe just a cigarette more
(never such a blizzard before)
i’ve gotta get home
(but baby you’d freeze out there)
say lend me a coat
(it’s up to your knees out there)
you’ve really been grand
(i thrill when you touch my hand)
but don’t you see?
(how can you do this thing to me?)
there’s bound to be talk tomorrow
(think of my lifelong sorrow)
at least there will be plenty implied
(if you got namonia and died)
i really can’t stay
(get over that old out)

both:baby it’s cold
baby it’s cold outside

#13 Back to Black by Amy Winehouse (Rest in Peace)

“Back To Black”

He left no time to regret
Kept his ** wet
With his same old safe bet
Me and my head high
And my tears dry
Get on without my guy
You went back to what you knew
So far removed from all that we went through
And I tread a troubled track
My odds are stacked
I'll go back to black

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to…..

I go back to us

I love you much
It’s not enough
You love blow and I love puff
And life is like a pipe
And I’m a tiny penny rolling up the walls inside

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

Black, black, black, black, black, black, black,
I go back to
I go back to

We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to black

#12 Proud Mary by Tina Turner

You know, every now and then
I think you might like to hear something from us
Nice and easy but there’s just one thing
You see, we never ever do nothing nice and easy
We always do it nice and rough

So we’re gonna take the beginning of this song and do it easy
Then we’re gonna do the finish rough
This is the way we do ‘Proud Mary’
And we’re rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Listen to the story

Left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
Worrying ‘bout the way that things might have been

Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we’re rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
I pumped a lot of tane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Until I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen

Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we’re rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
Say, we’re rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river

I left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
Worrying ‘bout the way things might have been

Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
Rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
Say, we’re rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river, the river

I cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
And I pumped a lot of tane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
‘Til I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen

Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we’re rolling, so we’re rolling
And we’re rolling on the river
I tell you, we’re rolling, rolling
We’re rolling on the river

If you come down to the river
I bet you gonna find some people who live
And you don’t have to worry if you got no money
People on the river are happy to give

Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we’re rolling and we’re rolling
And we’re rolling on the river
Tell me one more time
(Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river)

(Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river)
(Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river)
(Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river)
(Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river)

#11 When I Get You Alone by Robin Thicke (as featured on Glee)

When I Get You Alone lyrics
Featuring: Robin Thicke

(Vum vum vum vum
Vum vum vum vum)

Ohhhhhh….
(Ba dum a dum)
Baby girl, where ya at?
Got no strings, got men attatched
(Ba dum a dum)
Can’t stop this feeling for long, no
Mmmm
(Ba dum a dum)
You’re making dogs wanna beg
Breaking them off your fancy legs
(Ba da da dum)
They make you feel right at home now
See, all these illusions just take us too long
And I want it bad

Because you walk pretty
Because you talk pretty
‘Cause you make me sick
And I’m not leaving
‘Til you’re leaving

Oh I swear there’s something when she’s pumping
Asking for a raise
Well does she want me to carry her home now?
Does she want me to buy her things?
On my house, on my job
On my loot, shoes, shirt, my crew, my mind
My father’s last name

When I get you alone
When I get you you’ll know babe
When I get you alone
When I get you alone

Oh, come on
Yeah, yeah

(Ba dum a dum)

Baby girl, you the shhh
That makes you my equivalent

(Ba dum a dum)
You can keep your toys in the drawer tonight
Alright
(Ba dum a dum)
All my dawgs, talking fast
Ain’t you got some photographs?
(Ba dum a dum)
‘Cause you shook that room like a star, now
Yes you did
Yes you did
All these intrusions just take us too long
And I want you so bad

‘Cause you walk city
‘Cause you talk city
‘Cause you make me sick
And I’m not leaving
‘Til you’re leaving

So I pray there’s something
She ain’t bluffing
Rubbing up on me
Well does she want me to make a vow? Check it
Well does she want me to make it now?
On my house, on my job
On my loot, shoes, my voice
My crew, my mind
My father’s last name

When I get you alone
When I get you you’ll know, babe
When I get you alone
When I get you alone

(Ba dum a dum
Ba dum a dum
Ba dum a dum
dum dum dum
dum dum dum
yeah….)

Ohhhhh….

When I get you alone
(Ba dum a dum)

#10 Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri

No, I can’t take one more step towards you
‘Cause all that’s waiting is regret
Don’t you know I’m not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most

I learned to live, half alive
And now you want me one more time

[Chorus:]
Who do you think you are?
Runnin’ ‘round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You’re gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don’t come back for me
Who do you think you are?

I hear you’re asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms

I’ve learned to live, half alive
And now you want me one more time

[Chorus]

It took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
‘Cause you broke all your promises
And now you’re back
You don’t get to get me back

Who do you think you are?
Runnin’ ‘round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You’re gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don’t come back for me
Don’t come back at all

Who do you think you are?
Runnin’ ‘round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You’re gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don’t come back for me
Don’t come back at all

Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
