Son of a Preacher Man (02:26)
Dusty Springfield • Dusty in Memphis
John Hurley; Ronnie Wilkins

Billy-Ray was a preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they gathered round and started talkin'
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
A-through the backyard we'd go walkin'
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows to my surprise

The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, oooh, yes he was

Being good isn't always easy
No matter how hard I try
'Cause when he started sweet-talkin' to me
He'd kiss and tell me everything is all right
He'd kiss and tell me everything is all right
Can I get away again tonight?

The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, Lord knows he was

How well I remember
The look that was in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
Takin' time to make time
Tellin' me that he's all mine
Learnin' from each other's knowing
Lookin' to see how much we've grown

And the only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, oh, yes he was
He was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man
I kissed the son of a preacher man
The sweet-lovin' son of a preacher man
Ahh, ooh, ahh....

I Don't Want To Hear It Anymore (03:07)
Dusty Springfield • Dusty in Memphis
(Randy Newman)

In my neighbourhood
We don't live so good
The rooms are small
And the buildings made of wood

I hear the neighbours talking 'bout you and me
I guess I heard it all
'Cause the talk is loud
And the walls are much too thin

He don't really love her
That's what I heard them say
He sure wasn't thinking of her today, oh no
(He wasn't thinking of her today)

I saw them in the front yard
Said the boy in room 149
He was talking to a girl I've never seen before
And standing there together, oh they looked so good

I don't want to hear it anymore
(I don't want to hear it)
I don't want to hear it anymore
(Anymore)
'Cause the talk just never ends
And the heartache soon begins
The talk is so loud
And the walls are much too thin

Ain't it sad, said the woman down the hall
That when a nice girl falls in love
Ain't it just too bad that she had to fall
For a boy who doesn't care for her at all?
(It's so sad)
I don't want to hear it anymore
(I don't want to hear it)
I just can't stand to hear it anymore
(Anymore)
'Cause the talk just never ends
And the heartache soon begins
The talk is so loud
And the walls are much too thin

I don't want to hear it anymore
(Can't stand to hear it)
(Don't want to hear it)
I just can't stand to hear it anymore
(Don't talk about it)
(Can't stand to hear it)
Oh, baby, baby
I just can't stand

Don't Forget About Me (02:49)
Dusty Springfield • Dusty in Memphis
(gerry goffin / carole king)

Baby, I know you've got to go
And I have no right to tell you not to go
The road just isn't there for us
There never was a prayer for us

Someday our paths may cross again
And maybe we'll find the kind of love we lost again
But now, I'll set you free to choose again
It's your life to win or lose again

Hey, don't forget about me now, baby
Baby, please, don't forget about me now, baby
Today I cannot borrow a minute of your tomorrow
But don't let it cause you sorrow


Please, don't forget about me now, baby
Don't forget about me

Someday, our paths may cross again
And maybe we'll find the kind of love we lost again
But now, I've got to let you go
It's ourselves we got to get to know

Oh, hey, don't forget about me now, baby
Baby, please, don't forget about me now
Baby, please, please don't forget about me, baby
Ooh, baby, please, oh
Hey, don't forget about me now, baby
Baby, please, please don't forget about me
Ah-ha, yeah, ooh

Breakfast in Bed (02:55)
Dusty Springfield • Dusty in Memphis
(Eddie Hinton / Donnie Fritts)

You've been cryin'
Your face is a mess
Come in baby
You can dry the tears on my dress
She's hurt you again
I can tell
Oh, I know that look so well

Don't be shy
You've been here before
Pull your shoes off, lie down
And I will lock the door

And no-one has to know
You've come here again
Darling it will be
Like it's always been before
Come on over here

Breakfast in bed
And a kiss or three
You don't have to say you love me
Breakfast in bed
Nothing need be said
Ain't no need

What's your hurry?
Please don't eat and run
You can let her wait, my darling
It's been so long
Since I've had you here
You will come again
Darling it will be
Like it's always been before
Hey child

Breakfast in bed
And a kiss or three
You don't have to say you love me
Breakfast in bed
Nothing need be said

Breakfast in bed
And a kiss or three
You don't have to say you love me
Breakfast in bed
Nothing need be said, yeah
You don't have to

Just One Smile (02:39)
Dusty Springfield • Dusty in Memphis
(Randy Newman)

Can't I cry a little bit?
There's nobody to notice it
Can't I cry if I want to?
No-one cares

Why can't I pretend
That you'll love me again?
All I had has been taken from me
Now I cry tears that never become me

Just one smile means forgiving
Just one kiss, the hurt's all gone
Just one smile to make my life worth living
A little dream to build my world upon

How I wish I could say
All the things I want to say
If some way, you could see what's in my heart
Oh, baby

I don't ask for much
A look, a smile, a touch
Try to forget
Lord knows, I'm trying
It's so hard to forget
When your whole world you know is dying

Just one smile means forgiving
Just one kiss, the hurt's all gone
Just one smile to make my life worth living
A little dream to build my world upon

Just one smile please forgiving
Just one kiss, hurt's all gone
Just one smile to make my life worth living
A little dream to build my world upon
Just one smile

The Windmills of Your Mind (03:49)
Dusty Springfield • Dusty in Memphis
Round
like a circle in a spiral
like a wheel within a wheel
never ending or beginning
on an ever spinning reel
like a snowball down a mountain
or a carnival balloon
like a carousel that’s turning
running rings around the moon

like a clock whose hands are sweeping
past the minutes of its face
and the world is like an apple
whirling silently in space
like the circles that you find
in the windmills of your mind !

like a tunnel that you follow
to a tunnel of its own
down a hollow to a cavern
where the sun has never shone,
like a door that keeps revolving
in a half forgotten dream,
or the ripples from a pebble
someone tosses in a stream

like a clock whose hands are sweeping ....

keys that jingle in your pocket
words that jangle in your head
why did summer go so quickly ?
was it something that you said ?
lovers walk along a shore
and leave their footprints in the sand


is the sound of distant drumming
just the fingers of your hand ?
pictures hanging in a hallway
and the fragment of this song
half remembered names and faces
but to whom do they belong ?

he: when you knew
that it was over
you were suddenly aware
that the autumn leaves were turning
to the color
of her hair !

she: when you knew
that it was over
in the autumn of goodbyes
for a moment
you could not recall the color
of his eyes !

like a circle in a spiral
like a wheel within a wheel
never ending or beginning
on an ever spinning reel

as the images unwind
like the circles
that you find
in the windmills of your mind !

In the Land of Make Believe (02:30)
Dusty Springfield • Dusty in Memphis
(Burt Bacharach / Hal David)

In the land of make believe
You're mine tonight
Although you are far away
In the land of make believe
I'm holding you tight

The silver moon is shining above
And there's love in your eyes
And I'm kissing you
Like I used to do
Yesterday in paradise

I've been living in the land of make believe
Since you've been gone
I need you so much
That without your love
I must deceive myself
To go on

Your loving hand caresses my face
We embrace tenderly
Never will we part
Deep down in my heart
You are always here with me
You are always here with me
In the land of make believe
In the land of make believe
In the land of make believe

Your loving hand caresses my face
We embrace tenderly
Never will we part
Deep down in my heart
You are always here with me
You are always here with me
In the land of make believe
In the land of make believe
In the land of make believe
In the land of make believe

I Can't Make It Alone (03:58)
Dusty Springfield • Dusty in Memphis
(Gerry Goffin / Carole King)

Now you know me
You know how proud I am
And what I'm gonna tell you now
Won't be easy to say

Before I left your side
Ooh, I was so happy then
But I've been so lonely
Since I've been away
Oh, baby

I've tried and I know I can't make it alone
It's such a hard way to go
I just can't make it alone
There's something in my soul
That will always
Lead me back to you

What can I say now?
Sorry is just not good enough
I couldn't blame you if you hurt me now
The way I hurt you then

But who else can I turn to?
Oh, baby, I'm begging you
Won't you reach out for my dying soul?
And make me live again
Oh, baby, it's so hard

I've tried and I know I can't make it alone
It's such a hard way to go
I just can't make it alone
There's something in my soul
That will always
Lead me back to you

Baby, help me
I've tried and I know I can't make it alone
It's such a hard way to go
And I can't make it alone
There's something in my soul
That will always
Lead me back to you

Oh, help me
(Please help me)
You know I need you
(I need you)
I'm saying that I need you
I just can't make it by myself
(I just can't make it by myself)
I just can't make it all alone
(I just can't make it all alone)
I just can't make it by myself
(I just can't make it by myself)
Come on baby
