Instantly Susceptible Fish Gershwin Make It Work Take A Stand Wish #1 I Feel You don't leave me let's start anew My Dreams 69th Street Carpe Diem jazzique Roman Nose All Men	Instantly Instantly that’s how long it took for me to fall in love with you You looked at me and I became yours. Can’t explain it it’s one of those things that occur All I know is when I saw you I fell in love What a day that was! When my life became complete What a feat! What a treat! Love can be I never would have dreamed things would turn out this way All I know is when I saw you I fell in love ©P® 1997 liedsinger
Gershwin (A.Jacobs) Puppy love is too shallow Infatuations gradually fade away Trueness of the heart is stronger than feeling Affairs shouldn't be taken lightly You never had a true love until you've seen them in their drawers or at their their weakest, lowest moments or when they've acted out of character Then you begin to realize This ain't no game darlin', this one's for life chorus All else is clay, but our love is here to stay I guess Gershwin said it best So how do you test your mettle? When the dust clears, who's left? Only you and me honey, we've settled Crushes are just that, none too subtle And lust only lasts for so long Full commitment takes some special people Willing to obey their vows You ain't really had a true love until you've washed some dirty laundry or helped them get well when they were sick Then you begin to understand That no matter what, this one's for keeps chorus Gershwin knew what he was talking about True love is hard to find Don't take that love for granted Embrace it (mama) Come to papa do chorus ©P®1999 liedsinger (ASCAP)
Susceptible Antonio Jacobs Baby, I am susceptible to your charms So don’t make me choose to love you It’s not fair to her Because you’re not my woman Feel like a kid again ever since I met you The color of the world seems brighter when you’re around I never thought that I would fall in love with more than one woman Then you changed my mind, yeah My lady doesn’t know about you And she doesn’t need to know Since I haven’t made a move I’ve been faithful to her But it looks like I’m losing control Baby, I am susceptible to your charms So don’t make me choose to love you It’s not fair to her Because you’re not my woman Day after day ain’t nay better I have to make a decision But I get so confused whenever you’re near me You’re not making this easy for me Seduction is in your eyes You know I’ve got a woman But you don’t seem to care Still I haven’t made a move I’ve always been faithful to her But I can tell that you’re going too far Baby, I am susceptible to your charms so don’t make me choose to love you It’s not fair to her Because you’re not my woman She’s waiting up for me (she doesn’t suspect a thing) She trusts me implicitly There’s no way I’m gonna break her heart ©1999 liedsinger (ASCAP)
My Dreams I do not have a lot of money I do not own a lot of fancy things All I've got is education And a need to fulfill my dreams I never thought it would be easy I never dreamed that I would get too far I only hope that I will never see My dreams be in vain Chorus Determination is the key That unlocks opportunity I know someday I will be free To see all I will achieve I'm not a scholar or an intellect I'm not an athlete or a socialite I'm just another ordinary guy With a need to fulfill my dreams I have an inkling I could do some right I know that I can change the world somehow I know that I possess some lofty goals But they will come true Chorus Life is long and we all have time To triumph and to make mistakes The only unforgivable crime Is not giving it all it takes Chorus ©2002 liedsinger
Let's Start Anew A. Jacobs Surprised as I was to watch you go, I understood why, but didn't know how it all came to this We were doing so well as far as I could tell our love grew deeper everyday And then out of the blue, you told me we were through Although it was sudden I'm not overwhelmed with thoughts of a love that has got to end The both of us will have to pretend the whole thing didn't happen You've taken the time to think things through You hurt deep inside but still can't decide how it came to this We seem like a pair destined to share the rest of our lives together But the moment was gone the instant you walked out that door Although it was sudden I'm not overwhelmed with thoughts of a love that has got to end The both of us will have to pretend the whole thing didn't happen Let's Start Anew Let's wipe the slate clean take it from the top Let's Start Anew Although it was sudden I'm not overwhelmed with thoughts of a love that has got to end The both of us will have to pretend the whole thing didn't happen Let's Start Anew Let's wipe the slate clean take it from the top Let's Start Anew © 2002 liedsinger Let's Start Anew
Carpe Diem ©2003 liedsinger/A. Jacobs (ASCAP) We’re living in a cruel world We’re living in a cool world We’re living in a dream world And our world is not the only world You have it all at your fingertips And yet you brush it away I hope someday you will get it in your head Carpe Diem “Seize the Day” Chorus Carpe Diem “Seize the Day” Riches are in what you do and not in what you say Grab at opportunity walk through open doors And you’ll get everything you’ve been searching for Your life is just beginning Your life is at an ending Your life is in the middle Are you living your life or are you only pretending How can you take such a precious thing And simply throw it away I hope someday you will get it in through your head Carpe Diem “Seize the Day” Chorus Who’s in control of your soul? Who’s in command of the physical? You make the choice to use your voice Don’t let it go – answer the knock I think I lived a full life Or was it an empty life? I lived my entire life And I never knew what living was Don’t take the life that’s been given you And calmly push it away Everybody has their life to live You better start living - Carpe Diem! Chorus
FISH A. Jacobs (after Johann Wolfgang von Goethe) If I were a fish so nimble and lively If you came a-fishing I wouldn’t fail to show up I wish I were gold always near at hand Something shiny you could wear I’d be right on your skin I wish I was faithful Always by your side I would be right there for you I would never go away If I were a fish so nimble and lively If you came a-fishing I wouldn’t fail to show up I wish I were a lion ferocious and brave But with the kindness of a sheep I’d protect you while you sleep I wish I had the world For I’d give it all to you Whatever I would be I’d give it freely To do what you want to do If I were a fish so nimble and lively If you came a-fishing I wouldn’t fail to show up I wish I was a horse Then I’d be of value to you I wish I was a carriage to carry you in comfort I wish I were a monkey filled with teasing tricks I wish I was old wrinkled and cold So I wouldn’t remember to love you so much If I were a fish so nimble and lively If you came a-fishing I wouldn’t fail to show up ©2005 liedsinger (ASCAP)
Make it Work Antonio Jacobs I just don’t understand it… Gas all high… More bills than money can pay... And I see brothers with fancy cars, fancy clothes, fancy things…And I wonder to myself, “Where did I go wrong?” This year's the roughest that I’ve seen in my career Nothing that I’m putting down is really moving it Thought I was blessed with some sort of kind of ear But then lately it is no benefit And there you stay waiting so patiently while nothing happening We said we’d be together through thick and thin, so where’s the thick of it? So what’re we gonna do? What must I do to make this work for you? After all we managed Tired of the struggle and I know that so are you I don’t understand it Try to live a life of honesty; of never short cutting it working to 7 to 3 Always get my paychecks legitimately, though tempted to do other things to compensate But what do I have to show for my good deeds? An empty bank account a new bill every week Though times are slow you hold me down but the stress is killing me What must I do to make this work for you? I don’t understand it Trying to make it work and I don’t know what to do (It don’t make sense to me) What must I do to make things right for you? I can’t fight this feeling What must I do to make this work for you? I can’t take it no more Listen I have a frustration why can’t I make ends meet? I don’t understand it Will I have to break the law this week? Tell me more about it What must I do to make things right for you? I don’t know I don’t understand it What must I do to make it work for you? I can’t take it no more What must I do to make things right for you? I can’t fight this feeling What must I do to make this work for you? I can’t take it no more ©P®2008 liedsinger (ASCAP)
Take it Away It's just sitting here taking up space It's the 800 pound gorilla in the room and you choose to ignore it But now it's starting to smell It hangs in the air like a thick miasma It's time to call in the big guns and have the whole affair cleaned up because I don't wanna deal with it anymore so while it still fits through the door let's call it off before we give it another chance Take it away Take it all away Take it away It's getting harder with every single day It's the physical nature of inertia That keeps you from resolving Now others are noticing It interferes with your daily livelihood So take the cue And remove the eyesore because I don't wanna deal with it anymore so while it still fits through the door let's call it off before we give it another chance It's gone on much too long we've known that it was so wrong Let's clear it out before it all comes crashing down Take it away Take it all away Take it away My mess and your mess together making up one major mess with a life of its own when we try to clean it a little we find out that it's grown to epic proportions We let it get out of hand it's all rather out of our control well then that's how the story goes Take it away Take it all away Take it away ©2009 liedsinger (Antonio Jacobs)
