Why don't you do right - Peggy Lee




You had plenty money, 1922
You let other women make a fool of you
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too
 
You're sittin' there and wonderin' what it's all about
You ain't got no money, they will put you out
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too
 
If you had prepared twenty years ago
You wouldn't be a-wanderin' from door to door
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too
 
I fell for your jivin' and I took you in
Now all you got to offer me's a drink of gin
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Like some other men do

Selena - Tony Joe White





The evening falls on Padre Island
Something is wrong, the birds don't fly
They sit quietly in the sand dunes
And watch the sky


They seem to know someone is missing
Even the ocean settles down
They've wait patiently since sunrise
But she don't come around


Selena, they cry
Without your smile, none of us can fly
Selena, this can't be true
It's gonna be a lonely world without you


There is no one here on this good earth
Who cannot hear the laughter in your song
You made us dance when hearts were heavy
And our feet were made of stone


Time goes by, there is no answer
It's hard to think this moment ever came
So many bow their heads in silence
It don't stop the pain, no


Selena, they pray
How could something such as this take you away'
Selena, you were the one
Just when we think it's all over
Maybe it's just begun


Selena, so full of life
You never had a chance to say goodbye
But it will be whispered now and then
And your name will last forever
Riding on the Corpus Cristi wind



Selena, they pray
Selena, they cry
