Cher Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Dark Lady

The fortune queen of new orleans
Was brushing her cat in her black limousine
On the back seat were scratches
From the marks of men her fortune she had won
Couldn't see through the tinted glass
She said, 'home james' and he hit the gas
I followed her to some darkened room
She took my money, she said, 'i'll be with you soon'

Chorus:
Dark lady laughed and danced
And lit the candles one by one
Danced to her gypsy music
Till her brew was done
Dark lady played black magic
Till the clock struck on the twelve
She told me more about me
Than i knew myself

She dealt two cards, a queen and a three
And mumbled some words
That were so strange to me
Then she turned up a two-eyed jack
My eyes saw red but the card
Still stayed black
She said the man you love is secretly true
To someone else who is very close to you
My advice is that you leave this place
Never come back and forget you ever saw my face

Chorus

So i ran home and crawled in my bed
I couldn't sleep because of all the things she said
Then i remembered her strange perfume
And how i smelled it once in my own room
So i sneaked back and caught her with my man
Laughing and kissing till they saw the gun in my hand
The next thing i knew they were dead on the floor
Dark lady would never turn a card up anymore

Chorus


2.Geronimo's Cadillac

put geronimo in jail down south
Where he couldn't look
A gift horse in the mouth
Took old geronimo by storm
Ripped off the feathers from his uniform

Chorus:
Oh boys, take me back
I wanna ride in geronimo's cadillac
Oh boys, take me back
I wanna ride in geronimo's cadillac

Sergeant, sergeant, oh don't you feel
There's something wrong with your automobile
Warden, warden, oh listen to me
Be brave and set geronimo free
Governor, governor, oh isn't it strange
You never seen a car on the indian range

(chorus)

People, people, oh don't you know
The indian's got no place to go
Jesus told me, and i believe it's true
The red man's in the sunset too
Took our land, now they won't give it back
They sent geronimo a cadillac

(chorus)


3.Gypsies, Tramps And Thieves

I was born in the wagon of a travellin' show
My mama used to dance for the money they'd throw
Papa would do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel, sell a couple bottles of doctor good

Chorus
Gypsys, tramps, and thieves
We'd hear it from the people of the town
They'd call us gypsys, tramps, and thieves
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money down

Picked up a boy just south of mobile
Gave him a ride, filled him with a hot meal
I was sixteen, he was twenty-one
Rode with us to memphis
And papa woulda shot him if he knew what he'd done

Chorus

I never had schoolin' but he taught me well
With his smooth southern style
Three months later i'm a gal in trouble
And i haven't seen him for a while, uh-huh
I haven't seen him for a while, uh-huh

She was born in the wagon of a travellin' show
Her mama had to dance for the money they'd throw
Grandpa'd do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel, sell a couple bottles of doctor good

Chorus chorus fades

8.I Saw A Man And He Danced With His Wife

I was by myself drinkin'
Chilled lonely wine
Then he walked in with some woman
Who's place was once mine
And she wore his ring on her finger
And the band began a song
I'd heard before

Chorus:
I saw a man and he danced with his wife
How i wished he was dancing with me
'cause i remember before
When we danced on this floor
His eyes were only on me

Where did i go wrong
They were playin' our song
While i was cryin' all night long
I kept watchin' as they dance so divine
I kept hopin' kept on lookin'
But i couldn't catch his eye

Oh, then he got up and he saw me
But he just walked right on by
And danced with her

Chorus

Where did i go wrong
They were playin' our song
While i was cryin' all night long

Two weeks later
I heard a knock on my door
He's back
Just like all those good time before
Ah, then he kissed me
And he told me
I left her 'cause i love you,
So much more than i knew

Chorus

I saw a man and he danced with his wife


9.I Wasn't Ready

last night i was in heaven today i'm still on a cloud in his
arms i was in
Heaven and i didn't know what it was all about when he walked
out the hurt
Walked in i guess i wasn't ready for love
Last night i thought i was gain today i feel so ashamed if he
only knew i need
Him again he would come and ease my pain when he walked out the
hurt walked in
I guess i wasn't ready for love
He said that he loved me he told me he'd protect me he told me
he needed me but
I was to blind to see yeah i was to blind to see
Last night i was in heaven but it was hell when he walked out
the hurt walked
In i guess that i wasn't ready for love
Wasn't ready wasn't ready


10.Melody

melody your my oldest friend i can talk to you what a day it's
been out there
In the mad men crush another days gone down in a dusk
Melody listen for the phone while i change my clothes he knows

Three days waiting took it's toll this trying to stop it's
crying is getting old
Melody remember long summer days playing grown ups in the city
mamma said sleep
Sleep sleepy heads tucked in bed with yor favourite dolly oh
Melody with you ragetty charms i have looked for love in a

Scared of going home of what they'll say you know mammas eyes

Right through daddy won't be so proud of me no they won't
understand like you
Melody


11.Outrageous

Outrageous, outrageous

And i will be dress to kill don'tcha know
And when the lights come up

To put on a show with class
And if i clash it's cause i want to

They're gonna fly up, get an eyeful
Everything that's craved from me

With my long black hair hanging way down to my
Ask me no questions and i'll tell you no lies
Don't tell me what to do don't tell me what to be
See i don't trust anybody else's traits about make-up and me

Well in my show i let everything go
Is what you want is whatcha wanna see from me
But when the curtain comes down
And you're on your way back home
I change into my jeans that are split at the seam
I grab my funky black jacket and make quite a racket
You drive like you're an outlaw
Cause everything that's craved from me
I'm gonna be, i'm gonna be outrageous

So outrageous

12.Rock & Roll Doctor

a woman in georgia didn't feel just right
She had fever all day and chills at night
Now things got worse, yes a serious bind
At times like this it takes a man with such style
That you cannot often find
A doctor of the heart and a doctor of the mind

If you like country with a boogie beat
He's the man to meet (he's the man to meet)
If you like the sound of'a shufflin' feet
I said, he can't be beat (he can't be beat)
Oh, if you wanna feel real nice
Just ask the rock and roll doctor's advice

It's just a country town but patients come
From mobile to moline from miles around
Nagodoches to new orleans
In beat-up old cars or in limousines
To meet the doctor of soul
He's got his very own thing

Two degrees in be-bop, a ph.d. in swing
He's the master of be hop
He's the rock 'n roll king

If you like country with a boogie beat
He's the man to meet (he's the man to meet)
If you like the sound of'a shufflin' feet
I said, he can't be beat (he can't be beat)
If you... if you wanna
If you wanna feel real nice
Just ask the r and-r d-r's advice

(rock 'n roll doc can make you feel so fine)
So fine so so fine, so fine, he makes you feel so fine
(rock n roll doc can make you feel so fine)
Rock-n-roll rock-n-roll rock-n-roll doctor, feel fine
Well he makes you feel so fine


13.Song Called Children

children playing in a park with a ball, teddy bears,and dolls if
you watch them
Very close then you see there's a love for all dancing through
the light music
Only they can hear they can close their eyes knowing there's
nothing to fear
They can't see a thing whistle through the trees cos' they are
still children
They are still children
Now their time has come and gone they are grown all to soon it
seems children
In their land and dreams dancing through the light music that
only they can
Hear they can close their eyes and know there's nothing to fear
i wish that
Time stood still so they would never feel the pain of not being
children i wish
That time stood still so they would never feel i wish that time
stood still


14.The Beat Goes On

(sonny & cher)

Chorus:
The beat goes on, the beat goes on
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La de da de de, la de da de da

Charleston was once the rage, uh huh
History has turned the page, uh huh
The mini skirts the current thing, uh huh
Teenybopper is our newborn king, uh huh

Chorus

The grocery store's the super mart, uh huh
Little girls still break their hearts, uh huh
And men still keep on marching off to war
Electrically they keep a baseball score

Chorus

Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce
Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss
The cars keep going faster all the time
Bums still cry 'hey buddy, have you got a dime'

Chorus


15.The Music's No Good Without You

the music's no good without you

The music's no good without you, baby
The music's no good at all
The music's no good without you, baby
Come back to me

Chorus

Everyone was watching
You were the freakiest thing on the show
Dazzling in the crystal ball
They only love to watch you glow

You were the center of attention
The eye of the stone
Whirlwind from outer space
Like a twister on the scene

Chorus

Mesmerize them when we dance
&cause you sparkle next to me
Whizzing along the razor's edge
But you were crazy to be free

I, i agonize &til you come back
And we dance that close again
I miss you, boy, i really do
Come back to me, come back to me

&cause my world stop spinning
Nothing i can do
So i pray that the dj lifts my heart

Chorus


16.The Shoop, Shoop Song(It's In His Kiss)

Does he love me? i want to know
How can i tell, if he loves me so?
Is it in his eyes?
Oh no, you'll be deceived
Is it in his signs?
Oh no, he'll make believe
If you want to know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss
That's where it is

Is it in his face?
Oh no, that's just his charms
In his warm embrace?
Oh no, that's just his arms
If you want to know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss
That's where it is

Hug him and squeeze him tight
Find out what you want to know
If it's love, if it really is
It's there in his kiss

How about the way he acts?
Oh no, that's not the way
And you're not listenin' to all i say
If you wanna know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss
That's where it is
It's in his kiss
That's where it is

Hug him and squeeze him tight
Find out what you want to know
If it's love, if it really is it's there in his kiss

How about the way he acts?
Oh no, that's not the way
And you're not listenin' to all i say
If you wanna know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss
That's where it is

It's in his kiss
That's where it is


17.Train Of Thought

When you're talkin' in your sleep,
And the name that you whisper ain't mine
And i've finally faced the fact
That you're cheatin' on me one more time
When my anger starts to rumble
And my steam starts to rise
And the wheels keep turning
Faster as i think of all your lies

Oh that train of thought runnin' right on time
But it's off the track and i'm losing my mind
'cause the way you used me
Gonna drive me insane honey
Say you'll never leave me
For god's sake stop the train

Oh the camel back is broken
By the one extra straw added on
And a woman can't see reason
When her last ray of sunshine is gone
There's a finger on the trigger
And that locomotive sound
And i think how much i love you
And i turn the gun around

Oh that train of thought runnin' right on time
But it's off the track and i'm losing my mind
And you hold me the last time
As i try to explain, honey
Don't feel bad about me
I just had to stop this train

Gotta get off, gotta get off
Gotta get off, gotta get off (woo-woo)
Gotta get off, gotta get off
This train of thought (woo-woo)
Gotta get off, gotta get off (woo-woo)
Gotta get off, gotta get off
The train of thought (woo-woo)
