Dusty Springfield Dusty Lyrics
1.All Cried Out

(kaye / philinger)

I stayed up cryin' all night (all night)
I knew the end was in sight (in sight)
And now you're walkin' out on me (on me)
You're wonderin' where the little tears can be (can be)
Well, baby....

I'm all cried out, i'm all cried out
All my little tears are all dried out, oh yeah
Now, that you say we're through
I'm all cried out over you

Last night i knew we were through (we're through)
It hurt 'cause i still loved you (loved you)
Went home and couldn't fall asleep (asleep)
'cause sleep just won't come into eyes that weep (that weep)
And that's why....

I'm all cried out, i'm all cried out
All my little tears are all dried out, oh yeah
Now that you say we're through
I'm all cried out over you, oh yeah

I'm all cried out
I just cant cry no more, no, no
No, no, no, no, oh
All cried out
And that's why....

I'm all cried out, yes i'm all cried out
All my little tears are all dried out, oh yeah
Now that you say we're through
I'm all cried out over you

Listen to me when i'm a-gonna say
I'm all cried out, yeah, over you
Listen to me when i'm a-tellin' you
I'm all cried out, yeah, over you
Over you


2.Can I Get A Witness

(b. holland / l. dozier / e. holland)

Ah, listen everybody
Especially you guys
Is it right to be left alone
When the one you love is never home?
I love too hard
Yeah, my friends sometimes say
But i believe, oh i believe
That a boy should be loved that way
But it hurts me so inside
See him treat me so unkind
A-somebody, a-somewhere
Tell him it ain't fair

Can i get a witness?
Can i get a witness?
Can i get a witness?
Somebody?

Is it right to be treated so bad?
When you've given everything you had
Keep on tossing in my sleep
'cause i haven't seen my baby all week
Now, you people you do agree
That this ain't the way love's supposed to be
A-let me hear you
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Up early in the morning
With him on my mind
Just to find out all night
That i've been crying
But i believe, oh, that a boy is a girl's best friend
So, i'm gonna stick by him 'til the very end
But he caused so much misery
I forget how love's supposed to be
Somebody, somewhere tell him
It ain't fair

Can i get a witness?
Can i get a witness?
I want a witness
Witness, witness, witness, witness

Everybody knows, especially you boys
That a love can be sad
But half a love is twice as bad
Now you people you do agree
That this ain't the way love's supposed to be
Let me hear you
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah

I want a witness
Can i get a witness?
I want a witness
Come on, witness
I want a witness, hey
Come on, witness
I want a witness

4.Don't Say It Baby

(daryl / taylor)

(don't say it baby)
(don't say it baby)
Don't say it baby
Don't say it's only me for you
It's not true
I'm still young and there's so much i wanna do
(don't say it baby)
(don't say it baby)

Don't say it baby
Don't say the word that you'll regret
Don't forget
I'm a girl who's learned to take what she can get
(don't say it baby)

Today i could never belong to one boy
(one boy)
And while you wait for tomorrow
You'll find your heart broken in two

Don't say it baby
Don't be a fool for anyone
Have your fun
Go away
Live every day while you're young
(don't say it baby)

Go away
Live every day while you're still young
(don't say it baby)
You better go away while you're still young
You gotta live every day now
While you're still young

(cropper / hayes / porter)

I'll put your pictures all around my wall
I'll build a tower of love that won't fall
I'll do everything i can
I'll try to be your own lovin' woman
With every ounce of strength i have
Oh, yeah

Oh, there is nothing that i wouldn't do
To let the world know

To keep you happy for a million hours

Long as i can see clouds that bring on rain

7.Guess Who

(gary klein / arthur kornfield)

(guess who?)
Where's the girl who hurt herself last night?
(guess who?)
Didn't kiss you and thought she was right
Everyone had told me
Be careful when he holds me
And i was

(guess who?)
Had to listen to all that she hears
(guess who?)
Has a pillow that's all wet with tears
You were oh-so tender
But i wouldn't surrender
Now you're gone

I told my friends 'he'll never get my heart'
And when i kissed you
Had to resist you
Said 'better go'
I hurt you so

Wished you had stayed
But i made you go away
(guess who?)
Tried to be much too cool yesterday
(guess who?)
Let the boy that she loves get away
I never should have listened
'cause now your love i'm missin'
It's too late
Woah, it's too late, ahh, ha

I never should have listened
'cause now your love i'm missin'
It's too late
Oh, it's too late
Ah, oh, ah, ah, oh
It's too late, mmm

9.I Just Wanna Be There

(nickolas ashford / valerie simpson)

Now when the storm of life is rushing in on you
And all hope is gone
And you feel the pain and misery of
Being left all alone
After you've tried so hard and your life
Is standing still
And you think you just don't have the
Strength to climb another hill

Oh, i just wanna be there
I just wanna be there
Just to hold you close
Said i wanna be there
I just wanna be there
'cause i love you most

When you need a little understanding from
Your so-called friends
And you find the road you're travelling down is
Coming do a dead-end
When suddenly you find yourself lost and
Stumbling through the night
Now let me be the hand in the dark that's leading
You to the light

Oh, i just wanna be there
I just wanna be there
Just to hold you close
Said i wanna be there
I just wanna be there
'cause i love you most
Ooh, ooh, i wanna be there
Baby, baby, baby, baby, i wanna be there, yeah
Wanna be there
Said i wanna be there
I just wanna be there
'cause i love you most

Promise not to ever try to change you
I love you for yourself
No matter what you choose to be your fate
Now let me be your helpmate
Let me be the main source of power that
Makes your wheels turn
And let me be the wood in the furnace to make
Your fire burn

Yeah, i just wanna be there
Just to hold you close
Said i wanna be there
'cause i love you most
Ooh, hey, i wanna be there
Said i wanna be there
'cause i love you most
Said i wanna be, wanna be, wanna be there, yeah
'cause i love you most


10.I Wish I'd Never Loved You

(ivor raymonde / mike hawker)

I wish i'd never loved you
I wish i'd never wanted you so much
And never thrilled to your touch
And i would not be lonely and crying
And hurting deep inside
Alone with a need that can't be satisfied

I wish i'd never loved you
I wish i'd never given you my heart
And watch you tear it all apart
And i would not be tortured, tormented and cheated
And surely my heart would not be broken in two

I saw you with another
I watched you hold her tenderly
And i could see as you kissed her
You'd never come back to me, oh

I wish i'd never loved you, mmm
I wish you'd never burned me with your kiss
Oh, how can i go on like this?
And i would not be tortured, tormented and cheated
How i wish i'd never loved you

And i could see as you kissed her
You'd never come back to me

Oh, i wish i'd never loved you
I wish you'd never burned me with your kiss
Oh, how can i go on like this?
And i would not be tortured, tormented and cheated
How i wish i'd never loved you
Oh, i wish i'd never loved you
How i wish i'd never, no, no, never
I'd never loved you


11.I'm Gonna Leave You

(dusty springfield / madeline bell / lesley duncan)

I've been trying hard to see
Just what you want of me
But it's no good boy
I'm setting you free
'cause i need you so much more
With each day that passes by
You don't seem to care
It's making me cry

So i'm packing up my bags
Gonna make my getaway
Get myself together
I can't go on this way
Oh, baby, baby
I'm gonna leave you
I'm gonna leave you, baby

This lonely feeling deep in my mind
'cause i can't turn back
If i leave you behind
But i gotta do it now
Yes, i gotta turn away
Hold me one more time
Don't ask me to stay

It's so hard so say goodbye
But it's you i'm thinking of
It would never work out
I know you're not in love with me
Oh, baby
I'm gonna leave you
Said, i'm gonna leave you

It's over and i'm walking out on you
You'll never get the chance to feel untrue
Though i love you
And i need you
And i want you
I'm still walking out on you

Darling, though it hurts me so inside
I can't take no more
Gonna lose my mind
So i'm packing up my bags
Gonna make my getaway
Get myself together
I can't go on this way
Oh, baby, baby
I'm gonna leave you
Said i'm gonna leave you, baby
Yes i'm gonna leave you, baby
Oh, i'm gonna leave you baby
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

13.My Colouring Book

(fred ebb / john kander)

For those who fancy colouring books
And lots of people do
Here's a new one for you
A most unusual colouring book
The kind you'll never see
Crayons ready?
Very well
Begin to colour me

These are the eyes that watched him as he walked away
Colour them grey
This is the heart that thought he would always be true
Colour it blue

These are the arms that held him and touched him
Lost him somehow
Colour them empty now
These are the beads i wore
Until she came between
Colour them green

This is the room that i sleep in and walk in
And weep in and hide in
That nobody, nobody's seen
Oh, colour it lonely, please

This is the man whose love i depended upon
Colour him gone


14.Nothing

(bob elgin / frank augustus / clarence lewis)

Baby, if a wall of stone were built around your heart
Oh, don't you know, don't you know?
I would tear the wall apart
'cause nothing, nothing, nothing, i said no, not nothing
Nothing in the world's gonna keep me away from you

If a sea of fire, it was surrounding you
Oh, don't you know, don't you know?
I would find a way to get through
Because nothing, nothing, nothing, i said no, not nothing
Nothing in the world's gonna keep me away from you

I've been listening, baby
For one thing, one little thing that i wanna hear
Come on and tell me, come on tell me
Do you really, really, really, really want me here?
Because nothing, nothing, nothing, i said no, not nothing
Nothing in the world's gonna keep me away from you

Yeah, i'm listening, baby
(nothing in the world's gonna keep me away from you)

Yeah, i'm listening, baby
For one thing, for one little thing that i wanna hear
Come on and tell me, come on and tell me
Do you really, really, really, really want me here?
Because nothing, nothing, i said nothing, no, no, not nothing
Nothing in the world's gonna keep me away from you
Oh, i said nothing, i said nothing, i said nothing, no, no, no,
no, not nothing
Nothing in the world's gonna keep me away from you
Yeah, yeah


15.Summer Is Over

(tom springfield / clive westlake)

The night runs away with the day
The grass that was green is now hay
The world goes around without even a sound
And it looks like the summer is over

The rains tumble down in the sky
Young swallows have learned how to fly
The leaves that were green are no longer so green
And it looks like the summer is over

The sun and the moon take turns in the sky
The days drift on by too soon
The meadows are kissed by a cool autumn mist
Far away now is june

The birds fly away to the sun
The leaves touch the ground one by one
The breeze hurries by without even goodbye
And it looks like the summer is over

The sun and the moon take turns in the sky
The days drift on by too soon
The meadows are kissed by a cool autumn mist
Far away now is june

The birds fly away to the sun
The leaves touch the ground one by one
The breeze hurries by without even goodbye
And it looks like the summer is over

And it looks like the summer is over
