Live And More

Donna Summer Live And More Lyrics
1.ONCE UPON A TIME

Lyrics:Summer/Moroder/Bellotte
Music:Summer/Moroder/Bellotte

Once upon a time...

Once upon a time
there was a girl
who lived in the land
of dreams unreal
hiding from reality,
treated like a stranger
living in her fantasies,
trapped within their world

Once upon a time
her hopes had died
no one there to hear
her futile cries
living in a house of stone,
no one on her side
family in name alone,
no place left to hide

Aaahhh.....

Once upon a time...

Once upon a dream
a man will come
and give her everything
she wants and loves
but in the morning
she'll awake
to face the room around her
it's just another lonely day,
and bitterness surrounds her
bitterness surrounds her

Aaaahhhh...


2.FAIRY TALE HIGH

Lyrics:Summer/Moroder/Bellotte
Music:Summer/Moroder/Bellotte

On a fairy tale high

Don't you believe that your dreams all come true
the fairy tale world inside can bring it to you
you just have to wish, and you'll take off and fly

On a fairy tale high, fairy tale high
fairy tale high, fairy tale high

On a fairy tale high

Just look around you, the dark clouds are far
stand on your tiptoes, and reach for a star
as stardust comes sprinkling, it will brighten your eyes

On a fairy tale high, fairy tale high
fairy tale high, fairy tale high

Fairy tale high, fairy tale high, fairy tale high

On a fairy tale high, feeling higher and higher
on a fairy tale high, feeling higher and higher
on a fairy tale high, feeling higher and higher
on a fairy tale high, feeling higher and higher
on a fairy tale high, feeling higher and higher


3.FASTER AND FASTER TO NOWHERE

Lyrics:Summer/Moroder/Bellotte
Music:Summer/Moroder/Bellotte

Spoken:
Somebody tell me how to get outta here
tell me how to get out

Oh I'm running faster, faster and faster to nowhere
'cause the city's closing tighter and tighter around me
it's a nightmare, daymare, it's a badmare
no matter which way-mare

So keep running faster, faster faster and faster to nowhere

Spoken:
Unlock it here
you put me in here you did that
somebody help me get outta here
I need you please, oh

People pushing, shoving, rushing on into the future
windows open, closing, in a way that they just never used to
Oh there's violence lurking in the alleys
where no one should dare go
so keep running faster, faster and faster to nowhere

Spoken:
You put me in here
you're responsible you didn't help me
somebody
you see the city is closing in on me
please, oh

Trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere
we're gonna take a little
trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere, trip to nowhere
faster and faster...


4.SPRING AFFAIR

Lyrics:Summer/Moroder/Bellotte
Music:Summer/Moroder/Bellotte

Spoken:
Thank you!
Good Evening!
why don't you follow me on my magical mystical journey
through time and love
this is what you've been waiting for
come on now

Ooh, something's coming over me
ooh, I think it's got a hold on me, it's got me

Ooh, just the man I hoped you'd be
ooh, just the man to set me free,
you got me, you got all of me

Spring affair, spring affair, spring affair
and I'm hung on you, oh yeah
spring affair, spring affair, spring affair
and we've got something new

Ooh, you're the sunshine in my life
ooh, how you come on shining bright, you got me

Ooh, the feeling's getting really strong
ooh, gives me strength to carry on
you got me, you got all of me

Spring affair, spring affair, spring affair
and I'm hung on you
spring affair, spring affair, spring affair
and we've got something new

It's a spring affair
It's a spring affair
It's a spring affair

Ooh, ooh, ooh...


5.RUMOUR HAS IT

Lyrics:Summer/Moroder/Bellotte
Music:Summer/Moroder/Bellotte

Spoken:
Rumour, rumour hear all about it
rumour has it and I'm gonna shout it
rumour, rumour hear all about it
rumour has it and I have got to shout it
thank you so much alright
now I'll tell you what I heard

Rumour has it all around the town
someone's looking for a girl like me
where can she be found
I hope it's who I think it is
I wonder if it's really him
it's got to be the man I love
no one else but him

There's a rumour, rumour has it
there's a rumour

They say he's gonna make this girl his everything
he's gonna love her and surround her
with all those beautiful things
it was the most wonderful moment in my life I had
my life ended on that evening
I lost him, Lord it hurt so bad

There's a rumour, rumour has it
there's a rumour

You never know just what you've won until you've lost
and the object of the game is not to pay the cost
anyone can play the game, there are no rules
and you never know just what you've won until you lose

There's a rumour, there's a rumour
rumour has it
there's a rumour, there's a rumour
rumour has it, rumour has it
there's a rumour, there's a rumour
there's a rumour, such a rumour


6.I LOVE YOU

Lyrics:Summer/Moroder/Bellotte
Music:Summer/Moroder/Bellotte

Spoken:
From my Once Upon A Time album
a song about two people who fell in love
showing up one day face to face

Well he searched and searched for nights and days
till he found the one he loved
and he wrapped her in his arms again
and then he thanked the stars above
that he found what he'd been looking for
and he stared her in the eyes

He said 'I love you'
yes, I really do

Love you, love you, love you, love you

She stared him right back in the eyes
with a look of disbelief
then she gazed off into somewhere else
was it real or just a dream?
and she pulled him oh so close to her
and she whispered in his ear

She said 'I love you'
yes, I really do

Love you, love you, love you, love you
love you, love you, love you, love you

So together they will always be
until the stars fall from the sky

They said 'I love you'
yes, they really do
they said 'I love you'
yes, they do

Yes I do, yes I do, yes I do

So together they will always be
until the stars fall from the sky
so if you find someone you love a lot
you must never let them go
you just hold them tight with all your might
and you say three little words

You say 'I love you'
yes, I really do
you say 'I love you'
yes I do
you say 'I love you'


7.Only One Man

Lyrics:Donna Summer/Bob Conti
Music:Donna Summer/Bob Conti

Spoken:
You know ladies and gentlemen
please know this
I really love my man
and I want, exactly what he's got
and I don't ever mind giving him every
bit of my love
and baby you know
I've got a lot to give

I got fire in my touch
there's nothing I won't do
and I bend over backwards
just to give it all to you

Cause there's only one man
that can handle all this love
cause there's only one man
that I want to be with tonight
cause there's only one man
that can squeeze me inside

The one man in my life
and that's you, you and you and you

Cause there's only one man
that can handle all this love
cause there's only one man
that I want to be with tonight
said there's only one man in my life
and that's you


8.I REMEMBER YESTERDAY

Lyrics:Summer/Moroder/Bellotte
Music:Summer/Moroder/Bellotte

Spoken:
I'd like to take some time to reach into the past
to take some old songs and some new songs
some borrowed and some blue songs

I remember yesterday
l remember yesterday

I remember that first night we met
dancing to the sounds of clarinets
dancing cheek to cheek, oh how sweet
you and me and this fantasy
oh I remember our first night

I remember how we carried on
on and on until the light of dawn
from the very start, you stole my heart
I knew right then we would never part
oh I remember that first night

Remember that first night
remember that first night

I saw your lovelight through the candle's glow
champagne was flowing, and so I let myself go
and when the night was over, we both looked around the room
remember darling, chairs on the table, and only me and you

Walk me home in springtime showers
in the early morning hours
you took me to my door, we were sure
so we swore that forever more
I'll remember our first night

Remember that first night

Remember that first night


9.LOVE'S UNKIND

Lyrics:Summer/Moroder/Bellotte
Music:Summer/Moroder/Bellotte

Spoken:
Remember light thoughts
in the 50's and 60's and pony tails
and highschool sweaters
well those were the good days

Well I seem him every morning in the schoolyard
when the schoolbell rings
and when he passes in the hallway
well he doesn't seem to notice me
he's got a crush on my best friend
but she don't care, 'cause she loves someone else
I'm standing on the outside, no the inside where I wanna be

Love's unkind, love's unkind
love's unkind, love's unkind
cause he's not mine

Just the other day I was praying that he'd give a change
hoping he would choose me for his partner
for the high school dance
I was standing outside the class
but it wasn't me, but my best friend, he asked
I went running back inside teary-eyed
and left the two of them behind

Love's unkind, love's unkind
love's unkind, love's unkind
cause he's not mine

Spoken:
Oh how I love him, but I can't even let him know
'cause he loves my best friend
but she don't care, she loves someone else...


10.My Man Medley

Spoken:
I just wanna say this
this is something I thing most of you ladies will identify with
and maybe some of you men too

(THE MAN I LOVE)
Written:George Gershwing/Ira Gershwin

Someday he'll come along
the man I love
and he'll be rich and strong
the man I love
and when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stay

He'll look at me and smile
I'll understand
and maybe for awhile
he'll take my hand
and though it seems absurd
I know we both won't say a word

Spoken:
You know I'm the kind of lady
that always seems to find the wrong man
at the wrong place at the wrong time
it's not that I go out looking for him
but somehow he always seems to find me
you see what I'm looking for is the kind of man
that comes home with candy
and flowers sayin' 'come on put on your dancing shoes
cause we're gonna wine and dine, wine and dine'
but what I always seem to find is the kind of man
that comes home fussing
and fighting, breaking my best dishes
and beat my head outside the wall
shows no love no respect and nothing at all

(I GOT IT BAD AND THAT AIN'T GOOD)
Written:Duke Ellington/Paul Webster

Never treats me sweet and gentle
the way he should
I got it bad and that ain't good!
(no, it ain't good at all, you know)

Spoken:
Listen, have you been treating your lady nice lately, you have?
and how about you?
great, well I've been gettin' rocked completely!

My poor heart is sentimental it's not made of wood
I got it bad and that ain't good

Spoken:
So you see on Monday nights
I just go out and drink and drink

But when the weekend's over on Monday rolls aroun'
I end up like I start out just cryin' my heart out
cryin' my heart out
Lord above me (come on) make him love me
then he should
I got it bad baby
I got it bad baby
I got it bad and that ain't good!
no it ain't good at all you know

Spoken:
But listen Mister big shot I've got your number
and I'll take care of you
and you too and you and you and you

(SOME OF THESE DAYS)
Written:Shelton Brooks

Some of these days
you're gonna miss your Donna
some of these days
you're gonna feel so lonely
you'll miss my huggin'
you'll miss my kissin'
you'll miss me honey
when you're far away

You're gonna be so lonely
for me only
cause you know daddy
you had you way
and if I leave you
you know it's gonna grieve you
you're gonna miss your sweet lovin' Donna
some of these days

And if I leave you
you know it's gonna grieve you
you're gonna miss your sweet little Donna
some of these days

Hey honey call me when you got time
know what I mean...


11.The Way We Were

Written:Allen Bergman/Marilyn Bergman/Marvin Hamlisch

Spoken:
Well you ladies out there
you know what I'm
I'm talkin' 'bout ya
but you wanna know something?
did you ever try to remember or
or just place up a memory in your mind
and it always seems so far away
so hard to find

Memories
light the corners of my mind
misty water-color memories
of the way we were

Scattered pictures
of the smiles we left behind
smiles we gave to one another
(oh yesterday) for the way we were

Can it be that it was all so simple then
or has time rewritten every line
if we had the change to do it all again

Spoken:
Tell me, how many of you would live your lives again
I would too
you girls?

Memories
may be beautiful and yet
what's too painful to remember
we simply choose to forget
and so it's the laughter
we will remember
whenever we remember

The way we were
the way we were
whoaaahhhh


12.Mimi's Song

Written:Donna Summer/Virgil Weber

Spoken:
You know tonight is a very important night
for me for a number of reasons
my little girl is here tonight
and I don't think you understand
what it's like being the daughter of
someone who's always gone
it's kind of scary and it's kind of lonely
and I guess she thinks to herself sometimes
'Is mummy ever going ever gonna come home?'
and so my daughter looked up at me
last week and she said 'mummy
when are you just gonna stay home
one day and be with me'?
and so it kinda struck me funny
and I didn't realize that I hadn't spent
anytime with her for a long time
so I sat down and wrote down this song
after she went to bed
and I told her tonight when it was bedtime
I would sing her son

I bet you ask yourself
why I'm never there
it's not because I like being away
you see I've made a spectacle of myself
and it seems that the whole world needs me
I understand when you cry alone
and mama's not there to wipe your eyes
you see it's only because
I'm out being someone to make you cry

I got a little letter
and I read it on the plane
and in my heart I felt a funny kind of pain
I wish that I could be there
to touch your face again

Mimi you're beautiful
Mimi you're mine
and other things that I do in my life
seem to take up all your precious time

There's so much I long to say
so much more I long to do
but I guess it's all just have to wait
till I can get to see you

Mimi you're mine
oh, Mimi you're mine
oh, Mimi you fill my life

You fill my life with so much love
cause you're beautiful
and you love me
and you'll understand

Mimi it's bedtime say Goodnight
'Goodnight'

Lyrics:Summer/Moroder/Bellotte
Music:Summer/Moroder/Bellotte

I love to love you baby...

When you're laying so close to me
there's no place I'd rather you be
than with me here...

I love to love you baby...

Do it to me again and again
you put me in such an awful spin
in a spin...

Lay your head down real close to me

I love to love you baby...

Spoken:
You know
some people have the vague
I don't know what you call it
premonition or notion
that when they go out
to see a show
the person on that stage
had better make them feel good!
But you know something?
I can't make you feel good
if you don't feel good already
so if you feel good
stand up and dance!

Feel it!
feel it!
feel it!
feel it!...

17.MacArthur Park Suite

(MacArthur Park)
Written:Jimmy L. Webb

Spring was never waiting for us till
it ran one step ahead
as we followed in the dance.

Between the parted pages
we were pressed,
in love's hot, fevered iron
like a striped pair of pants.

Mac Arthur's Park is melting in the dark
all the sweet green icing flowing down
someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
and I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, nooo!

I recall the yellow cotton dress
foaming like a wave
on the ground beneath your knees
birds like tender babies in your hands
and the old men playing
Chinese checkers
by the trees

Mac Arthur Park's is melting in the dark
all the sweet green icing flowing down
someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
and I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, nooo!

There'll be another song for me
and I will sing it
there'll be another dream for me
someone will bring it
I will drink the wine while it is warn
and never let you catch me
looking at the sun, oh yeah
and after all the loves of my life
after all loves in my life
you'll be the one

I will take my life into my hands
and I will use it
I will win the worship in their eyes
and I will lose it
I will have the things that I desire
and my passion flow
like rivers through the sky
oh and after all the loves in my life
after all the loves in my life
you'll still be the one
and I'll ask myself why.

Mac Arthur's Park is melting in the dark
all the sweet green icing flowing down
someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
and I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, nooo!

(ONE OF A KIND)
Written:Summer/Moroder/Bellotte

You're one of a kind
I gotta have ya
well you're one of a kind
I need to have ya

Right from the start
you tore me apart
you took the best part of my heart

Body and soul
you took me out of control
you stole the best part of my heart

You're one of a kind
you've got magic
I know you're one of a kind
baby you're static

Right from the start
you tore me apart
you took the best part of my heart

Body and soul
you took me out of control
you stole the best part of my heart

Right from the start
you tore me apart
you took the best part of my heart

Body and soul
you took me out of control
you stole the best part of my heart

(HEAVEN KNOWS)
Written:Summer/Moroder/Bellotte

Baby please,
baby please don't take your love from me
I am yours forever more,
'till eternity
silently please, listen to the words I say well
I'm not talking just for play, listen to me please

Heaven knows
it's not the way it should be
heaven knows
it's not the way it could be
don't you know
there's no need to leave

Heaven knows
I never wanna leave you
heaven knows
I only wanna please you
don't you know
love is what I need

Down inside,
don't get caught with foolish pride
put all the other things aside,
there's only you and me
believe in us,
we were always meant to be
me for you and you for me,
'till eternity

Heaven knows
it's not the way it should be
heaven knows
it's not the way it could be
don't you know
there's no need to leave

Heaven knows
I only wanna love you
heaven knows
I never wanna lose you
don't you know
love is meant to be

Heaven knows
it's not the way it should be
and it's no use now
so stop with the pretending
so come on child, and hear me
when I cry...
