LYRICS - Never Never Never:
I'd like to run away from you,
but if you never found me I would die
I'd like to break the chains you put around me,
but I know I never will

You stay away and all I do
is wonder why the hell I wait for you
But when did common sense prevail
for lovers when we know it never will

Impossible to live with you,
but I know, I could never live without you
For whatever you do
I never, never, never
want to be in love with anyone but you

You never treat me like you should,
so what's the good of loving as I do?
Although you always laugh at love,
nothing else would be good enough for you
Impossible to live with you,
but I know, I could never live without you
For whatever you do
I never, never, never
want to be in love with anyone but you

You make me laugh,
you make me cry,
you make me live,
you make me die, for you
You make me sing,
you make me sad,
you make me glad,
you make me mad, for you

I love you, hate you, love you, hate you
But I'll want you till the world stops turning
For whatever you do
I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you

I love you, hate you, love you, hate you
But I'll want you till the world stops turning
For whatever you do
I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you

I love you, hate you, love you, hate you
But I'll want you till the world stops turning
For whatever you do
I never, never, never
want to be in love with anyone but you

This song was recorded and released on Shirley's 1975 LP titled, 'Shirley Bassey - Good, Bad, But Beautiful'

IN THE WORDS of Struggling Songwriter, Becky Hobbs:
"I lived in Baton Rouge only for a couple of years, turning twenty-one there, but it seemed longer," the singer recalled.

LYRICS:
When your only friend just can't be found
And you've got no one to hang around
Just call on me
Baby, I'll be your audience

When you're feeling low
And coming down
And you've got no one to hang around
Call on me
Baby, I'll be your audience

Well, I know
Your gonna see your ship come in
Until it does, I'll listen in
I know it's hard to get a break
Sometimes it's just too much to take
All that gold ain't glistening

But when they close the doors
And close their ears
And even your dog don't hear
Just call on me
Baby, I'll be your audience

Soon they'll applaud your ever sin
And say I knew her when
She was with me
Baby, they'll be your audience

Well I know...
You're gonna see you ship come in
Until it does, I'll listen in
I know it's hard to get a break
Sometimes it's just too much to take
All that gold ain't glistening

But when they close the doors
And close their ears
And even your dog don't here

Call on me, Baby I'll be your audience
Call on me, Baby I'll be your audience
Yes, Call on me, Baby I'll be your audience
Call on me, Baby I'll be your audience
Yes, Call on me, Baby I'll be your audience
