Look Of Love

Dusty Springfield Look Of Love Lyrics
1.Chained To A Memory

(rodgers / ahlert)

Why am i chained to a memory?
Why does the thought of you still torture me?
When will i find someone to set me free?
So i won't be chained to a memory, mmm

Why am i chained to the hurt i knew?
Each day the thought of something so cruel to do
Where in this world will i escape from you?
So i won't be chained to a memory

Your letters threw them on the fire
Your pictures out the window
All that i could find that reminded me of you
I threw them all away

I get up in the morning
I'm pacing the floor
Like i'm expecting you to walk in the door
I keep forgetting i won't see you anymore
Guess i'm doomed to be chained to a memory

Oh, yes i am
I get up in the morning
I'm pacing the floor
Like i'm expecting you to walk in the door
I keep forgetting i won't see you anymore
Guess i'm doomed to be chained to a memory
Yes i am


2.Come Back To Me

(lerner / lowe)

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


3.Give Me Time

(melfa / atmo / english lyrics by peter callendar)

If you'll only give me time
All the heartache that he left behind
Will fade from my mind
I'll be free to love again

If you'll only give me time
I'll forget i even knew his name
Forget that he came
I'll be no good till i can
Try to understand
But when i'm sure i need him no more
That's when i'll reach out for your hand

So darling give me time
And you will see that i'm
Ready to love you
Just as you love me
Wait awhile
'til i can find my smile
And i'll be yours for as long as i live
If you'll only give me time, yeah

So darling give me time
And you will see that i'm
Ready to love you
Just as you love me, oh
Wait awhile
'til i can find my smile
And i'll be yours for as long as i live
If you'll only give me time


4.I Can't Wait Until I See My Baby's Face

(taylor / ragavoy)

I can't wait until i see my, my baby's face
When i tell him that i'm through
Yes, i'm through with him
'cause he's been running round
And i got to, to put him down
I can't wait to see the look
The look in his eyes

I wonder if he'll cry
When i tell him this is goodbye, yes it is
Or will he try to change my mind
And make me stay? yeah

Or will he turn around
And, with a smile on his face
Just walk away?
Just walk away

I can't wait until i see my, my baby's face
Gotta find out what i mean
What i mean to him
'cause just one tear is all he's got to, to shed for me
And i know that l will run, yes i'll run to him
I'll hold him tight
Never, never let him go, no-o-o

And i can't wait until i see my, my baby's face
You know, i just can't wait until i see my baby's, baby's face
You know, i just can't wait until i see my, my baby's face
I can't wait until i


5.I'll Try Anything

(mark barkan / vic millrose)

You belong
To somebody else and not to me
Right or wrong
That's not the way that it's gonna be
I want you so much inside
I'm throwin' away all my conscience and pride, and

I'll try anything to get you
I'll do anything i can
I'll try anything to get you
I'll cheat and i'll lie
And i'll try 'til i die
'til i make you my man
Gonna make you my man

I've been burned
Whenever i've followed all the rules
So i've learned
That playing it fair is just for fools
I'm fighting and win or lose
I'm not minding my p's and q's, and

I'll try anything to get you
I'll do anything i can
I'll try anything to get you
I'll cheat and i'll lie
Try 'til i die
'til i make you my man
My man, hey, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

I want you so much inside
I'm throwin' away all my conscience and pride, and

I'll try anything to get you
I'll do anything i can
I'll try anything to get you
I'll cheat and i'll lie
Try 'til i die
'til i make you my man
Gonna make you my man
Gonna make you my man, yeah
Make you my man
Gonna fight 'til i die
Gonna cheat and lie


6.I've Got A Good Thing

(jerry ragavoy / mort shuman)

I got a good thing
I got a good thing
I got a good thing going

Take the sun and take the moon
And stars that shine so bright
All i need is my guy
And everything's all right

Everything about him thrills me
The way he looks at me just kills me
He's got a way of getting to me
Every kiss just goes right through me

I got a good thing
You know i got a good thing, baby
I got a good thing going

Take the rainbow from the sky
Oh, i don't really care
I will have a pot of gold
As long as he is there

I never knew such sweet affection
And it's all in my direction
If he left there's no mistaking
My poor heart would start to break and

I got a good thing
You know i got a good thing going
I got a good thing going, yeah

I got a good thing, yeah
You know i got a good thing going
You know i got a sweet thing baby
Everything is everything, baby
Everything is uptight, all right, out of sight
Yeah, i got a good thing going, yeah
You know i got a good thing


7.If You Go Away

(jacques brel/rod mckuen)

If you go away on this summer day
Then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew in the summer sky
When our love was new and our hearts were high
When the day was young and the night was long
And the moon stood still for the night bird's song

If you go away, if you go away, if you go away

But if you stay, i'll make you a day
Like no day has been or will be again
We'll sail on the sun, we'll ride on the rain
We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind
Then if you go, i'll understand
Leave me just enough love to hold in my hand

If you go away, if you go away, if you go away

Ne me quitte pas
Il faut oublier
Tout peut s'oublier
Qui s'enfuit d?
Oublier le temps
Des malentendus
Et le temps perdu
A savoir comment
Oublier ces heures
Qui tuaient parfois
A coups de pourquoi
Le coeur du bonheur

Ne me quitte pas, ne me quitte pas, ne me quitte pas

But if you stay, i'll make you a night
Like no night has been or will be again
I'll sail on your smile, i'll ride on your touch
I'll talk to your eyes, that i love so much
Then if you go, i'll understand
Leave me just enough love to hold in my hand

If you go away, if you go away, if you go away

If you go away, as i know you must
There'll be nothing left in this world to trust
Just an empty room, full of empty space
Like the empty look i see on your face
Oh, i'd have been the shadow of your shadow
If it might have kept me by your side

If you go away, if you go away, if you go away


8.It's Over

(jimmie rodgers)

If time were not a moving thing
And i could make it stay
This love we shared
Would always be
There'd be no coming day
No morning light above
To make me realise our love
Is over

And now you walk away from me
And there's no place to put my hand
Except to shade my eyes
Against the sun that comes to warm the land
I watch you walk away somehow
I have to let you go now
It's over

It's too late to tell you how i feel
Our love was real
And yet, there are so many times
That people have to love and then forget
Though there might have been a way
I have to force myself to say
It's over

And so i walk away and turn my collar to the wind
I walk along in silence trying not to think at all
I put my feet before me
Walk the silent street before me
It's over

If time were not a moving thing
And i could make it stay
This love we shared would always be
There'd be no coming day
No morning light above
To make me realise our love
Is over

It's over
It's over
It's over


9.Small Town Girl

(arnold goland / aaron. h. schroeder)

Am i just a small town girl
With big town dreams
That won't come true?
Thinking everything that means anything to me
Means something to you, too?

Am i just a small town girl?
Hey, big town boy
Don't let me down
You know i got it real bad
I gotta make good somehow
'cause that's all they're saying now

(she's a small town girl with big town dreams)
(big town dreams that never will come true)

Yeah, i'm just a small town girl with big town dreams
But, just you wait
I'll make 'em all come true, yes i will

Oh, take this little small town girl, yeah
In your arms and hold her tight
Make her life start tonight, yeah, yeah, yeah

Come on and take this little small town girl
With big town dreams that won't come true
Come on and make her dreams
'cause she loves you
Come on now, big town boy
Come on, don't let her down
You gotta fill my heart
You gotta


10.Sunny

(bobby hebb)

Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain
Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain
Oh, the dark days are done
The bright days are here
My sunny one shines so sincere
Sunny one so true
I love you

Sunny, thank you for that sunshine bouquet
Sunny, thank you for the love you brought my way
You gave to me your all and all
Now i feel ten feet tall
Sunny one so true
I love you

Sunny, thank you for the truth you let me see
Sunny, thank you for the facts from a to z
My life was torn like windblown sand
And then a rock was formed when we held hands
Sunny one so true
I love you

Sunny, thank for that smile upon your face
Sunny, thank you for that gleam that flows with grace
You're my spark of nature's fire
You're my sweet complete desire
Sunny one so true
I love you

Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain
Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain
The dark days are done
The bright days are here
My sunny one shines so sincere
Sunny one so true
Sunny one so true
Sunny one so true
I love you


11.Take Me For A Little While

(martin / trader)

I've been trying
To make you love me
But everything i try
Just takes you further from me

You don't love me, oh no
So you treat me cruel
But no matter how you hurt me
I'll always be your fool

But if you don't want me forever
And if you don't need me forever
And if you can't love me forever
Take me for a little while
So i can hold you, baby
So i can make you want me

I gotta stop it
There should be a law
'cause everytime you put me down
I love you more

And i feel so helpless
And it ain't funny
'cause deep down inside i know
You're never gonna love me

But if you don't want me forever
And if you don't need me forever
And if you can't love me forever
Take me for a little while
So i can hold you, baby
So i can make you want me

I got to have you baby
Don't you know anyway you want me i'm yours
Won't you have me baby?
Anyway you want me i'm yours
Anything you want me to do


12.The Look Of Love

the look of love
Is in your eyes
The look your smile can't disguise
The look of love
Is saying so much more
Than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard
Well it takes my breath away

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long i have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that i have found you

You've got the look of love
It's on your face
A look that time can't erase
Be mine tonight
Let this be just the start
Of so many nights like this
Let's take a lover's vow
And then seal it with a kiss

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long i have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that i have found you
Don't ever go

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long i have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that i have found you
Don't ever go
Don't ever go
I love you so


13.They Long To Be Close To You

(burt bacharach / hal david)

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me
They long to be close to you

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me
They long to be close to you

On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair
And golden starlight in your eyes of blue

That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me
They long to be close you you

On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair
And golden starlight in your eyes of blue

That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me
They long to be close you
Oh, just like me
They long to be close to you
Baby, baby, baby
They long to be so close to you


14.What's It Gonna Be

(ragavoy / shuman)

What's it gonna be?
Please tell me

Please tell me
Are you out for fun?
Only lovin' on the run
And leave me cryin', ahh, cryin'

What's it gonna be?
(tomorrow)
Will he set me free?

Gotta know for sure
A broken heart don't have a cure
It just keeps hurting, ahh, hurtin'
And when i'm hurtin'

I want a love that's here to stay
Baby please
The kind of love that i can count on everyday

Ah, got a hold on me
You know it
What's it gonna be?

But i'll turn around and go
'cause i can't take it
I can't take it
I can't face it
My heart won't make it

I want a love that's here to stay
Baby, believe me
The kind of love that i can count on everyday, mmm
