BABY, I'LL BE YOUR STAR
w&m by Dana Countryman
I've read those gossip magazines
all about those movie stars
Wearin' their designer jeans,
posed in their expensive cars
But I don't need no limousine,
no reality TV shows,
the cover of People magazine...
I'll never have my own line of clothes
But, baby, I'll be your star
Baby, I'll be your star,
The world may never know my name,
and I may not be blessed with fame
But, baby, I'll be your star
Baby, I'll be your star,
And when the moon is shinin' bright,
we'll play our love scene ev'ry night
And I know that you'll be my guiding light,
and baby, I'll be your star
Baby, I'll be your star
Don't have an Oscar on my shelf,
Gold records hangin' on my walls
I have to answer the phone myself,
no little girl to screen my calls
Don't party with the polo set
Don't travel with an entourage
Don't drive no little red Corvette,
just got a Smart Car in my garage
But, baby, I'll be your star
Baby, I'll be your star,
The world may never know my name,
and I may not be blessed with fame
But, baby, I'll be your star
Baby, I'll be your star,
And when the moon is shinin' bright,
we'll play our love scene ev'ry night
And I know that you'll be my guiding light,
and baby, I'll be your star
Baby, I'll be your star
We'll star in our little romance ev'ry night
You'll be my leading lady in the candlelight
(Inst.)
Might never be on a music chart,
but girl, I'm luckier than some
'Cause just as long as you're in my heart,
baby, you're my Number One
But baby, I'll be your star
Baby, I'll be your star,
And when the moon is shinin' bright,
we'll play our love scene ev'ry night
And I know that you'll be my guiding light,
and baby, I'll be your star
Baby, I'll be your star
Be my leading lady every night now
Be my leading lady, etc.

JEALOUS HEART
w&m by Dana Countryman
We've been together for so long, girl
You know my love for you is true
'Cause I could travel around this world,
and never find a girl like you
But you worry I'm going out on you,
and you've really got it wrong
To prove that I've been faithful,
I just wrote you a song
I love you girl, but you're driving me crazy
with your worried mind and your Jealous Heart
The past is bright, but the future looks hazy
Don't you know you're gonna drive us apart
You don't need to have a Jealous Heart
You're jealous of ev'ry girl I meet,
the checker at the grocery store,
the teenage girl livin' down the street,
the granny with the cats, next door
Well, it's kinda funny, but kinda sad
They can't hold a candle to you
It's your imagination
My love remains True Blue
I love you girl, but you're driving me crazy
with your worried mind and your Jealous Heart
The past is bright, but the future looks hazy
Don't you know you're gonna drive us apart
You don't need to have a Jealous Heart

JUST LOOK IN MY EYES
W&M by Dana Countryman
Just look into my eyes
Just look into my eyes
You're the kind of girl
who'd make my dreams come true
(First time I met ya, I fell in love)
And for quite some time I've had my eye on you
(I felt a thousand arrows, shot from above)
And now at last, you've noticed me
We're holding hands so suddenly
If you wonder what I think of you,
there's only one thing left to do
Just look in my eyes and you'll know that
I'll be there for you
Just look in my eyes and you'll see how much
I care about you
I'm in love, and I want you here next to me
With you in my arms, I'm in ecstasy
So look in my eyes, and you'll find a love so true
If you just look in my eyes
Just look into my eyes
Just look into my eyes
You'll never find a love like mine,
One that stands the test of time
So just take my hand and let me love you
(Inst.)
Without any doubt, you're the one for me
My arms open wide - Won't you run to me?
So look in my eyes,
and you'll find a love so true
If you just look in my eyes
Just look into my eyes
You'll find a reflection of you there
Just look into my eyes,
and you'll find a boy that is true there

AND SUDDENLY, LOVE JUST HAPPENED
w&m by Dana Countryman
And Suddenly, Love Just Happened
We ran through the raindrops, laughin’
A girl and her lucky fella
We didn’t need an umbrella
So baby, let’s stay together,
Let’s keep it this way forever
I swear I hear angels clappin’
And Suddenly, Love Just Happened, girl
Remember when we first met, you didn’t care for me?
You just turned your head, and walked away A-whoa
But I knew with just one glance that we were meant to be
So, I smiled my smile, I worked my charms,
and all at once, you were in my arms
And Suddenly, Love Just Happened
We ran through the raindrops, laughin’
A girl and her lucky fella
We didn’t need an umbrella
So baby, let’s stay together,
Let’s keep it this way forever
I swear I hear angels clappin’
And Suddenly, Love Just Happened, girl
Now, all of our friends don't understand the way we feel,
but what do we care what people think? A-whoa
'Cause we found a love to last,
and girl, this time it's real
When we fell in love, it wasn't planned
You smiled at me and you took my hand
And Suddenly, Love Just Happened
We ran through the raindrops, laughin’
A girl and her lucky fella
We didn’t need an umbrella
So baby, let’s stay together,
Let’s keep it this way forever
I swear I hear angels clappin’
And Suddenly, Love Just Happened, girl
A fairytale love; they say they never come true
But it happened to me, and it can happen to you

GREAT BIG GOOFY GRIN
w&m by Dana Countryman
I looked at love as somebody else’s game
‘cause I’d been hurt and I couldn’t stand the pain
Each day was just another day filled with doubt
Nothin’ to live for or get excited about
Love had been so unkind
Then you stepped in, and and you changed my mind
And now,
I wake up ev'ry morning with a smile
And it’s you, you make me so damn happy all the while
You came into my life, and I’m glad I let ya
Ever since the day that I first met ya
I wake up ev’ry morning with a
Great Big Goofy Grin
We both found all the love we were waiting for
Found out that love just takes time to open the door
Now, there’s a special happiness from within,
knowin’ we’ll be together through thick and thin
And looking back I see
love was just taking it’s time with me
And now,
I wake up ev'ry morning with a smile
And it’s you, you make me so damn happy all the while
You came into my life, and I’m glad I let ya
Ever since the day that I first met ya
I wake up ev’ry morning with a
Great Big Goofy Grin
I think of you and break into a
Great Big Goofy Grin

I'LL GET RIGHT BACK TO YOU
w&m by Dana Countryman
Girl, I loved you with all my heart
You said you loved me, too
I never dreamed in a million years
you'd do the things you would do
But you let me down, one too many times
You made me smile too few
And now you ask me how much I care
I'll get right back to you
You say you wanna come back again,
and this time you'll be true
Well, girl you've gotta be kidding me
Do I look like a fool?
'Cause you walked away with some other guy
That wasn't nice to do
So let me check with my broken heart
I'll get right back to you
Time and time you cheated and you lied,
in the arms of someone new
Now you want me in your life again
Well, my dear, that's so very nice of you
So, bye-bye baby, and good luck, girl
It's time that we must part
I'll find somebody in this ol' world who’s kinder to my heart
Let some other guys listen to your lies, but we must bid adieu
I tell you what: in a hundred years,
I'll get right back to you
I'll let you know in a hundred years,
I'll get right back to you

MAMA SAID I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO ROCK AND ROLL
w&m: Dana Countryman
What I was just a little kid, back in '64,
I emptied all my things out of my dresser drawers
turned 'em upside down to make a set of drums,
pounding' out the rhythm, here my daddy comes
"I told you once before, and I won't say it again,
if you play that rock and roll, you'll let the Devil in"
Well, my mama took a pin when I was only nine,
scratched out all the grooves of that record of mine
Didn't want me hearing the seductive beat
of Alvin and the Chipmunks, turning' up the heat
I couldn't even watch the Beatles' cartoon show
Mama said I'm not supposed to rock and roll
Well, my daddy doesn't like it
It's a style he can't stand
It's got the beat, beat, beat of a jungle band
Hey there, Mister Devil, don't 'cha take his soul
Save my little baby boy from rock and roll
Now, every Sunday mornin' I'm in Sunday School,
learning' about Heaven and the Golden Rule
Tryin' to understand the things the preacher said,
looking' at the pretty girls in church instead
I'm not supposed to smoke or drink or dance, you know,
but most of all I'm not supposed to rock and roll
Mama said I'm not supposed to rock and roll, etc.

HOW TO MAKE IT IN HOLLYWOOD
w&m by Dana Countryman
You wanna make it in Hollywood?
Just settle back, and you listen good,
'cause I spent a whole lotta time down in Hollywood
First thing you do, on your rise to fame
make sure that ev'ryone knows your name
You gotta get yourself noticed in Hollywood.
You gotta learn about the L.A. style,
and how to turn on that synthetic smile
At times, it seems a little infantile,
but that's what you gotta do
Try not to let your hopes get too high
But if you fall, man, try not to die
It happens all of the time down in Hollywood
The office boy thinks he has a hit,
and ev'ry bank teller wrote a script
They all want, they all wanna make it Hollywood
The casting couch, it really does exist
so don't go there, if you've never been kissed
'Cause you won't get too far if you resist
Be careful what you don't do
So be prepared for the sacrifice
of your integrity, that's the price
if you still, you still wanna make it in Hollywood
And then one day, you'll know you've arrived
You'll get a house on Mullholland Drive
And you'll know, you'll know you've made it in Hollywood
And that's how, that's how to make it in Hollywood
That's how, that's how to make it in Hollywood
I lived there, and I know what I'm talkin’ about
Here’s a song I wrote back then...

CELLULOID CITY
w&m by Dana Countryman
Don't wanna waste my time in Celluloid City,
where you don't exist unless you're pretty
and you’re young and dumb
I ain't ready for that, honey
I'm gonna leave behind this smoggy locality,
I'm fed up with the L.A. mentality
They're so damn far away from reality, it's funny, funny
A whole lotta hopes and a whole lotta dreams,
whaddya get for that?
Some holes in your hopes, and some holes in your dreams
But if you don't play ball, you won't get up to bat,
but at least your sanity's intact
Don't wanna sell my soul to Celluloid City,
where you don't exist unless you're pretty,
Where talent don't count
I ain't ready for that, honey
I'm gonna leave behind this smoggy locality,
I'm fed up with the L.A. mentality
They're so damn far away from reality, it's funny, funny
I've been good, as good as can be
But that's no good, if they disagree
They'll buy and sell your soul away
It happens every single day
If you don't think that's so,
turn on your radio

GOOD RADIO DAY
w&m by Dana Countryman
It's a good, good, good radio day
The weather's hot,
looks like summer's fin'ly come to stay
Ev'rything looks diff'rent now,
so fresh and evergreen
And up above, the blues skies you've ever seen
It's a good, good, good radio day
that record jockey's findin' all the perfect songs to play
There's nothin' like some rock and roll
to start you feelin' good
And if it don't, the sunny kinda weather should
Summertime is like another world
The end of the rainbow's there for you to take it
Somewhere out there, waits that perfect girl
who's holdin' her hand out to you,
but don't you break it - make it good
It's a good, good, good radio day
School is out and we've thrown our notebooks all away
There's a lifetime left until September rolls around
So crank it up, and ev'rybody party down
It's a good, good, good radio day
Turn it up now, so you can hear it
Good, good, good radio day
All the way, get the summer spirit

You're My Heart And Soul

YOU'RE MY HEART AND SOUL
w&m by Dana Countryman
You were meant for me
I couldn't help fallin' for ya
Guess it had to be
What could I do but adore ya?
You and me are like salt and pepper
Our tastes are different, but go together
And all our friends said it wouldn't last long,
but we're together and still goin' strong
Now we spend the nights
Sharin' the joys and laughter
Still we have our fights,
but we always make up right after
Through the years how we've grown together
So, say you'll never leave
No, no never
You're the girl all the waitin' was for,
and you're the love of my life and what's more
You're my heart and soul
You're the song that I sing,
you're my everything
You're my heart and soul
And I'm glad I found you
'cause I found out that dreams really do come true
It happened to me,
and you're my heart and soul,
my destiny
Ev'ry night when we should be sleeping,
I'm a victim of your charms
And wonderful things begin to happen
when I'm in your arms
I love each moment that I spend with you
My fantasies begin and end with you
You are my rock to lean on when I'm blue,
and I thank God you're around
So, honey, let's sing about it
You're my heart and soul
You're the song that I sing,
you're my everything
You're my heart and soul
And I'm glad I found you
'cause I found out that dreams really do come true
It happened to me,
and you're my heart and soul,
my destiny
You're my heart and soul

THE SUMMER I TURNED SEVENTEEN
w&m by Dana Countryman
Do you remember, very long ago
a boy in jeans, a girl in calico?
That was me, that was you,
the summer I turned seventeen
Too young to know what love was all about,
but when you smiled at me, I soon found out
And love started to grow,
the summer I turned seventeen
Our quiet little walks,
our noisy little talks
for hours on the telephone
But then, there came the day
you had to move away
We said goodbye as friends
That's where the story ends
And now, the years have turned our hair to gray,
but I remember only yesterday
you were young, so was I,
and life was still a mystery
The summer I turned seventeen

A VERY LONELY CHRISTMAS
w&m by Dana Countryman
Children play,
as the snow is falling hard
They're having fun, building snowmen in the yard
But with ev'ry snowman that they're making,
they don't know how much my heart is breaking
You are gone,
what a Christmas this will be
You're spending December with your own family
But how can I have a Christmas when you're far away?
Until you're in my arms again, I only want to say
That it's gonna be a very lonely Christmas,
without you, baby
You know, it's gonna break my heart
to spend the holidays apart
As the Christmas music plays,
I'm just counting down the days
'Till you're in my arms, holdin' hands with me,
right in front of our Christmas tree
Until that day, it's gonna be a very lonely Christmas
