Duets II

Tony Bennett Duets II Lyrics
1.The Lady Is A Tramp(feat. Lady Gaga)

Lyricist:Richard RodgersLorenz Hart
Writer(s):Richard RodgersLorenz Hart

I get too hungry for dinner at eight
I like the theater but never come late
I never bother with people I hate
That's why the lady is a tramp
I like the crap games with barons and earls
Won't go to Harlem in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt with the rest of the girls
That's why the lady is a tramp
I like that cool fresh wind in my hair
Life without care
I'm broke, it's ok!
Hate California
It's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp

I get too hungry for dinner at eight
I like the theater but never come late
I never bother with people I hate
That's why the lady is a tramp
I like the crap games with barons and earls
Won't go to Harlem in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt with the rest of the girls
That's why the lady is a tramp
I like that cool fresh wind in my hair
Life without care
I'm broke, it's ok!
Hate California
It's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp


2.One For My Baby(And One More For The Road)(feat. John Mayer)

Lyricist:Johnny MercerHarold Arlen
Writer(s):Johnny MercerHarold Arlen

It's quarter to three
There's no one in the place
Except you and me

So set em up, Joe
Got a little story
That you oughta know

We're drinking
My friend, to the end
Of a brief episode
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

I got the routine
Drop another nickel
In the machine

I'm feeling so bad
I wish you'd make the music
Dreamy and sad

I could tell you a lot
But you've got to be
True to your code
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

You'd never know it
Buddy, I'm a kind of poet
And I've got a lot
Of things to say

And when I'm gloomy
You simply gotta listen to me
Until they're all talked away

That's how it goes
Joe, I know you're
Getting anxious to close
So, thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn't mind
My bending your ear

This torch that I found
Must be drowned or it
Soon might explode
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

That long, long, long
That long, long, long road


3.Body And Soul(feat. Amy Winehouse)

Lyricist:Robert SourFrank Eyton; John GreenEdward Heyman
Writer(s):Robert SourFrank Eyton; John GreenEdward Heyman

My heart
Is sad and lonely
For you I sigh
For you dear only
Why haven't you
Seen it?
I'm all for you
Body and soul

I spend my days
In longing
And wondering why
It's me you're wronging
I tell you I mean it
I'm all for you
Body and soul

I can't believe it
It's hard to conceive it
That you'd
Turn away romance
Are you pretending?
Looks like the ending
Unless I could have
One more chance to prove
Dear
My life's a wreck
You're making
You know that I'm yours
For just the taking
I'd gladly surrender
Body and soul


4.Don't Get Around Much Anymore(feat. Michael Buble)

Lyricist:Rob MathesPhillipe SaisseDuke EllingtonRob MounseyBob
Russell
Writer(s):Rob MathesPhillipe SaisseDuke EllingtonRob MounseyBob
Russell

Should we keep going?
You got it

I missed the Saturday dance
I heard they crowded the floor
It's awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore

I thought I'd visit the club
I got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore

Darling, I guess that my mind's more at ease
Nevertheless, why stir up memories

I've been invited on dates
I might have gone but what for
It's awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore

I've been invited on dates
I might have gone but what for
It's awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore, more, more, more
No baby, don't get around much anymore


5.Blue Velvet(feat. K. D. Lang)

Lyricist:Lee MorrisBernie Wayne
Writer(s):Lee MorrisBernie Wayne

She wore Blue Velvet
Bluer than velvet was the night
Softer than satin was the light
From the stars

She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet were her eyes
Warmer than May her tender sighs
Love was ours

Ours a love I held tightly
Feeling the rapture grow
Like a flame burning brightly
But when she left gone was the glow of

She wore Blue Velvet
But in my heart there'll always be
Precious and warm a memory through the years
And I still can see Blue Velvet through my tears


6.How Do You Keep The Music Playing(feat. Aretha Franklin)

Lyricist:Michel LegrandAlan BergmanMarilyn Bergman
Writer(s):Michel LegrandAlan BergmanMarilyn Bergman

How do you keep the music playing?
How do you make it last?
How do you keep the song from fading too fast?
How do you lose yourself to someone?
And never lose your ways
How do you not run out of new things to say?
And since we're always changing
How can it be the same?
And tell me how year after year
You're sure your heart will fall apart
Each time you hear his name
I know the way I feel for you
It's now or never
The more I love the more that i'm afraid
That in your eyes I may not see forever..
Forever...


If we can be the best of lovers
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with everyday to make it better as it grows
With any luck, then I suppose
The music never ends


I know the way I feel for you
It's now or never!
(How do you keep the music playing?)
The more I love the more that I'm afraid
(How do you make it last)
That in your eyes I may not see forever
Forever...
(How do you keep the song from fading, keep the song from fading
too fast)
If we can be the best of lovers
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with everyday to make it better as it grows
With any luck, then I suppose
The music never ends


7.The Girl I Love(feat. Sheryl Crow)

Lyricist:Ira GershwinGeorge Gershwin
Writer(s):Ira GershwinGeorge Gershwin

Someday she'll come along, the girl I love
Her smile will be a song, the girl I love
And when she comes my way
I'll do my best to make her stay

I'll look at her and smile,
She'll understand
And in a little while I'll take her hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both won't say a word

Maybe I will meet her Sunday
Maybe Monday, maybe not
But I'm sure I'll meet her one day
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day

I'll build a little home, just meant for two
From which we'll never roam; Who would, would you?
And so all else above I'm waiting for the girl I love

Someday she'll come along, the girl I love
Her smile will be a song, the girl I love
When she comes my way
I'll do my best to make her stay

I'll build a little home, just meant for two
From which we'll never roam; Who would, would you?
So all else above I'm waiting for the girl,
The girl I love!

Someday she'll come along, the girl I love
Her smile will be a song, the girl I love
And when she comes my way


8.On The Sunny Side Of The Street(Willie Nelson)

Lyricist:Jimmy McHughDorothy Fields
Writer(s):Jimmy McHughDorothy Fields

Grab your coat and get your hat leave your worry on the doorstep
Just direct your feet to the sunny side of the street
Can't you hear a pitter pat and that happy tune is your step
Life can be so sweet on the sunny side of the street
I used to walk in the shade with those blues on parade
But I'm not afraid this rover crossed over
If I never have a cent I'll be rich as Rockefeller
Gold dust at my feet on the sunny side of the street
I used to walk in the shade...


9.Who Can I Turn To(When Nobody Needs Me)(feat. Queen Latifah)

Lyricist:Leslie BricusseAnthony Newley
Writer(s):Leslie BricusseAnthony Newley

Who Can I Turn To
Performed by Tony Bennett

Who can I turn to
When nobody needs me
My heart wants to know
And so I must go
Where destiny leads me
With no star to guide me
And no one beside me
I'll go on my way
And after the day
That darkness will hide me

And maybe tomorrow
I'll find what I'm after
I'll throw off my sorrow
They're still borrow
My share of laughter

*With you I can learn to
With you on a new day
But who can I turn to
If you turn away

(Repeat *)


10.Speak Low(feat. Norah Jones)

Lyricist:Ogden NashKurt Weill
Writer(s):Ogden NashKurt Weill

Time is so old and love so brief
Love is pure gold and time a thief

Speak low when you speak love
Our summer's day withers away too soon, too soon
Speak low when you speak love
Our moment is swift like ships adrift
We sail apart too soon

Speak low when you speak love
Love is a spark, lost in the dark too soon, too soon
I feel that wherever I go that tomorrow is near
Tomorrow is here and always too soon

Time is so old and love so brief
Love is pure gold and time a thief

We're late, darling, we're late
The curtain descends, everything ends too soon, too soon
I wait, darling, I wait
Will you speak low to me, speak love to me?
Speak low to me and soon
Speak low, speak low
Speak love


11.This Is All I Ask(feat. Josh Groban)

Lyricist:Gordon Jenkins
Writer(s):Gordon Jenkins

As I approach the prime of my life
I find I have the time of my life
Learning to enjoy at my leisure
All the simple pleasures and so I happily concede

That this is all I ask
This is all I need

Beautiful girls
Walk a little slower when you walk by me
Lingering sunsets
Stay a little longer with the lonely sea

Children everywhere
When you shoot at bad men, shoot at me
Take me to that strange
Enchanted land, grown-ups seldom understand

Wandering rainbows
Leave a bit of color for my heart to own
Stars in the sky
Make my wish come true before the night has flown

And let the music play
As long as there's a song to sing
And I will stay younger than Spring


12.Watch What Happens(feat. Natalie Cole)

Lyricist:Michel LegrandJacques DemyNorman Gimbel
Writer(s):Michel LegrandJacques DemyNorman Gimbel

Let someone start believing in you
Let him hold out his hand
Let him touch you and watch what happens

One someone who can look in your eyes
And see into your heart
Let him find you and watch what happens

Cold, no I won't believe your heart is cold
Maybe just afraid to be broken again

Let someone with a deep love to give
Give that deep love to you
And what magic you'll see

(Instrumental Break)

Let someone with a deep love to give
Give that deep love to you
And what magic you'll see

Let someone give his heart
Someone who cares like me

Let someone give his heart
Someone who cares like me

Cold, no I won't believe your heart is cold
Maybe slow to warm on a long, lonely night

Let someone start believing in you
Let her hold out her hand
Let her touch you and watch what happens

One someone who can look in your eyes
And see into your heart
Let her find you and watch what happens

Cold, no, I won't believe your heart is cold
Maybe just afraid to be broken again

Let someone with a deep love to give
Give that deep love to you
And what magic you'll see

Let someone give her heart

Someone who cares like me


13.Stranger In Paradise(feat. Andrea Bocelli)

Lyricist:George ForrestRobert Wright
Writer(s):George ForrestRobert Wright

Take my hand
I'm a stranger in paradise
All lost in a wonderland
A stranger in paradise
If I stand starry-eyed
That's a danger in paradise
For mortals who stand beside an angel like you

I saw your face and I ascended
Out of the commonplace into the rare somewhere
In space I hang suspended
Until I know there's a chance that you care

Won't you answer this fervent prayer
Of a stranger in paradise
Don't send me in dark despair
From all that I hunger for

But open your angel's arms
To this stranger in paradise
And tell him that he need be
A stranger no more


14.The Way You Look Tonight(feat. Faith Hill)

Lyricist:Jerome KernDorothy Fields
Writer(s):Jerome KernDorothy Fields

Someday when I'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight

Oh, but your lovely
With your smile so warm and your cheek so soft
There is nothing for me, but to love you
Just the way you look tonight

With each word your tenderness grows
Tearing my fear apart
And that laugh, that wrinkles your nose
It touches my foolish heart

Lovely, never never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it because I, I love you?
Just the way you look tonight
Just the way you look tonight


15.Yesterday I Heard The Rain(feat. Alejandro Sanz)

Lyricist:Gene LeesArmando Manzanero
Writer(s):Gene LeesArmando Manzanero

Yesterday I heard the rain whispering your name
Asking where you'd gone
It fell softly from the clouds on the silent crowds
As I wandered on

Out of doorways
Black umbrellas came to pursue me
Faceless people as they passed were looking through me
No one knew me

Yesterday I shut my eyes
Face-up to the skies, drinking in the rain
But your image still was there floating in the air
Brighter than a flame

Yesterday I saw a city
Full of shadows, without pity
And I heard the steady rain whispering your name
Whispering your name

Yesterday I saw a city
Full of shadows, without pity
And I heard the steady rain whispering your name
Whispering your name


Yesterday I heard the rain whispering your name
Asking where you'd gone
It fell softly from the clouds on the silent crowds


16.It Had To Be You(feat. Carrie Underwood)

Lyricist:Gus KahnIsham Jones
Writer(s):Gus KahnIsham Jones

It had to be you, it had to be you
I wandered around and finally found
Somebody who could make me be true
Could make me be blue or even be glad
Just to be sad, thinking of you

Some others I've seen, might never mean
Might never be cross or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do for nobody else
Gave me a thrill with all your faults I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you, it had to be you


It had to be you, it had to be you
I wandered around and finally found
Somebody who could make me be true


17.When Do The Bells Ring For Me(feat. Mariah Carey)

Lyricist:Charles DeForest
Writer(s):Charles DeForest

I wonder when do the bells ring for me
When someone tugs a heartstring for me
When does it come the time
When does the poem rhyme
When do the songs they sing seem fine

To those who say 'Wake up and feel life'
I say I'm ready, show me the way
Show me those arms that say
'Welcome to real life'
And I'll stay, I'll stay

How many partys and more can I run to
How many little loves can there be
before it's all bore
Forget it, I want more
I want someone to want more of me

Like making promises, Girl, in the daylight
The thing is here I am, where is she
When is it my chance
When is it my dance
When do the bells ring for me
