Lyrics
"Rise up"
 
I could never see it
Before it comes around
But if I feel it, I can feel it in the ground
Shake it up shake it up
Break it down down down down
Wonder what your gonna do
Might be worried might be scared
Might wonder where the sun went
But I, I know it’s gonna Rise

And if you don’t see me
I’m gonna push my way right on through
It’s somewhat of a mystery
But I know I’m about to

Rise Up
Rise Up
Rise Up
Rise Up

Sometimes you think too much
Worry too long
Wonder how far life has gone
And then you cry to the heavens
Oh no no no no no no no no no

Shake it up shake it up
Break it down, down again down
Wonder what, your gonna do
Might be jealous might be wrong, might be right by my side
Either way, I’m gonna get mine

And if you don’t see me
I’m gonna push my way right on through
It’s somewhat of a mystery
But I know I’m about to

Rise Up
Rise Up
Rise Up
Rise Up


"A little Bit"

I’ve been having trouble sleeping. And I don’t know what to do
Can’t get you out of my head, All I seem to think about is you
It’s eating away at my soul, It’s slowly breaking up my heart
I can barely take a breath a nap or have a laugh without having to recharge

My love for you is endless
Why can’t you ever see?
That I need you baby now

It’s not that tricky you know that I, I only want you A little bit
Why don’t you come my way, Yeah Yeah Yeah
To just freeze the moment, Be with you once, It be almost like heaven…
A little bit
Here I am baby don’t you want me… A little bit

You know you always try to make me, Into someone that I’m not
But maybe just for a little while, I’ll change what I got
It’s taking a toll on my days; it’s hurting my game in so many ways
I know I said I want you only for a little bit, but man in the biggest way

My love for you is endless
Why can’t you ever see
That I need you baby now

It’s not that tricky you know that I
I only want you A little bit
Why don’t you come my way?
Yeah Yeah Yeah

To just freeze the moment
Be with you once, It be almost like heaven….. A little bit
Here I am baby don’t you want me.. A little bit

It’s not that tricky you know that I
I only want you A little bit
Why don’t you come my way?
Yeah Yeah Yeah
To just freeze the moment
Be with you once, It be almost like heaven….. A little bit
Here I am baby don’t you want me…. Just A little bit ,A little bit

A Little bit of salt on my crackers, oh
A little bit of jam on my toast
A little bit of piece of paper to remind me, how much I need you

It’s not that tricky you know that I
I only want you A little bit
Why don’t you come my way?
Yeah Yeah Yeah
To just freeze the moment
Be with you once, It be almost like heaven….. A little bit
Here I am baby don’t you want …. A little bit
 
 
"Another Song Bird"

Another days' song, another song bird at my window
As the day moves along
It’s got less of me to sing to
And the voices inside my head
They won’t let me
Go to bed

I’m trying to
Lay me down to sleep
Got to let my weary eyes weep
Need some where to rest my head
Or just rest these bones instead

The Sun Keeps on calling me
Don’t know why
He just gets me when I’m down
Gets me When I’m down

OOOOW OOW OWW OWW OOH OH
OOOW OOOW Yeah Yeah
AAAAH AH AH AH YEAH YEAH YEAH

Another hour gone
Time keeps tugging at my bed sheets
Just can’t seem to shake it off
Don’t know where my thoughts will take me
Or where I might go
Cause the voices inside my head
They won’t let me
Go to bed

I’m trying to
Lay me down to sleep
Got to let my weary eyes weep
Need somewhere to rest my head
Or just rest these bones instead

The Sun keeps on calling me
Don’t know why
Just gets me when I’m down
Gets me when I’m down

OOOOW OOW OWW OWW OOH OH
OOOW OOOW Yeah Yeah
AAAAH AH AH AH YEAH YEAH YEAH
 
Oh, yeah it gets me yeah
 

"You Can’t Change"

By Phil Girlando, Amanda Carl, Brian Muldawsky

Tell him face to face, now
A little bit of what you think
Just try to make some space, now because loving’s not a sin
You keep trying to make him be the man you wanna see,
But baby, it’s a chase cause he’ll never be the one you want him to be.

CHOROUS
You can’t change the one that got away
And you can’t erase so many damn mistakes,
Keep trying babe, cause one day you might see
How much it takes
To turn your life around and get it right

Realize it now before it gets too late,
Just try to find out how this life just seems to cheat its fate
I’m telling you no lie,
At least you gave it a try
Cause now you can forget without any regret
Of giving it all you got

CHOROUS
You can’t change the one that got away
And you can’t erase so many damn mistakes,
Keep tryin’ babe, cause one day you might see
How much it takes
To turn your life around and get it right

Repeat chorous
 
 
"Scheming"
 

I’ve been scheming again, I’ve been thinking about
Someone I want to make my own
I’m hoping he’s got some love, He can lay on me
I’m tired of being lonely
I’ve been scheming

I can be that new woman, to excite up his life
Let my perfume linger, on his pillow at night
Well, I think it’s a shame
If he leaves her for me
But I’ve been scheming; I’ve been scheming… yeah me

I know he’s been feeling me; it’s easy enough to know
His eyes are giving it away
But if he does come through
What my hands might do
How my lips would feel
How my body feels
He wouldn’t be staying away..
Oh I’ve been scheming
And I always get my way

I know she’s thinks I’m trouble; And I think she’s right
Cause she knows I could be his private game; That he only plays at night
Well I think its shame, ha, if he leaves her again
But I’ve been scheming I’ve been scheming
Scheming again

But if he does come through
What my hands might do
How my lips would feel
How my body feels
He wouldn’t be staying away

But if he hesitates
Makes me wait
If he doesn’t see
How good I'd be
Then he’s a fool, not me……
Ooh I’ve been scheming
And I always get my way

High walking, Trash talking People don’t
They don't get in my way

I’ll do what it takes
I don’t care what I break
I’ll do what it takes I don’t care what I break
I’ll do what it takes I don’t care what I break no
What I break
I’ve been Scheming…I’ve been Scheming….

  
"Tell Mama"

You thought you have found a good girl
One that love you and give you the world
Now you find that you’ve been misused
Talk to me babe or do what you choose

I want you to

Tell Mama, All about it
Tell Mama, what you need
Tell Mama, what you want

And I’ll make everything thing alright

That girl didn’t make much sense
She wasn’t worth all the time that you spent
She had a man
Throw you out doors
Now that same man is wearing your close

I want you to

Tell Mama, All about it
Tell Mama, what you need
Tell Mama, what you want

And I’ll make everything thing alright

Tell Mama Tell Mama
Tell Me
Tell Mama
Tell Me Ma m, m, m, ma ma
Tell me
Let me tell you now
Let me tell you now

Let me tell you now

She’ll embarrass you, anywhere
Tell everyone that she doesn’t care
Give me a chance I’m begging you!
I just want take care of you, you you you you oh

Tell Mama Tell Mama
Tell Me
Tell Mama
Tell Me Ma m, m, m, ma ma
 
 
"I'm a Woman"
Written by Jerry Leiber & Mike Stoller
As arranged and performed by Elisa Girlando


I can wash out forty-four pairs of socks
And have them hangin' out on the line
I can starch and iron two dozen shirts
Before you can count from one to nine
I can scoop up a great big dipper
Full of lard from the drippin's can
Throw it in the skillet, go out and do my
Shopping and be back before it melts in the pan
'Cause I'm a woman
W O M A N
I'll say it again

I can rub and scrub till this old house
Is shinin' like a dime
Feed the baby, grease the car and
Powder my face at the same time.
Get all dressed up, go out and swing
Till four a.m. and then
Lay down at five, jump up at six
And start all over again.
'Cause I'm a woman
W O M A N
I'll say it again

If you come to me sickly, you know
I'm gonna make you well
If you come to me hexed up,
You know I'm gonna break the spell
If you come to me hungry,
You know I'm gonna fill you full o' grits
If it's lovin' you're lackin', I'll kiss you
And give you the shiverin' fits.
'Cause I'm a woman
W O M A N
I'll say it again

I can stretch a greenback dollar bill
From here to kingdom come
I can play the numbers, pay my bills
And still end up with some
I got a twenty dollar gold piece says
There ain't nothin' I can't do
I can make a dress out of a feed bag
And I can make a man out of you
'Cause I'm a woman
W O M A N
I'll say it again

'Cause I'm a woman
W O M A N
 
 
"Something's Got a Hold on Me"

Sometimes I get a good feeling
I get a feeling that I never, ever, ever, ever had before no no
I just want to tell you right now
I believe, I really do believe that

Something's got a hold on me
(Oh, it must be love)
Something's got a hold on me right now child
(Oh, it must be love)

Let me tell you now
I never felt like this before
Something's got a hold on me that won't let go
I believe I'd die if I only could
I sure feel strange, but I sure feel good
I said, Oh yeah
It must be love
(You know it must be love)

Let me tell you now
Something's got a hold on me
(Oh, it must be love)
Something's got a hold on me right now child
(Yeah, it must be love)

Let me tell you now
I got a feeling, I feel so strange
Everything about me seems to have changed
Step by step, I got a brand new walk
I even sound sweeter when I talk
I said, Oh yeah
It must be love
(You know it must be love)

Let me tell you now
My heart feels heavy, my feet feel light
I shake all over, but I feel alright
I never felt like this before
Something's got a hold on me that won't let go
I never thought it could happen to me
My heart was heavy when in misery
I never thought it could be this way
Love's sure gonna put a hurting on me

I said Oh yeah
It must be love
(You know it must be love)
Yeah he walks like love
(Yeah he walks like love)
And he talks like love
(And he talks like love)
Makes me feel alright
(Makes me feel alright)
In the middle of the night
(In the middle of the night)
Na na na na!
 

"Piece of My Heart"
Bert Berns/Jerry Ragavoy


Didn't I make you feel like you were the only man?
And didn't I give you everything that a woman possibly can?
Each time I tell myself I think I've had enough
Well, I'm gonna show you baby that a woman can be tough
So, come on, come on, come on and

(Chorus)
Take it
Take another little piece of my heart now baby
Take another little piece of my heart
I know you will
Break it
Break another little piece of my heart now baby
'Cause you know you got it if it makes you feel good, so good

You're out on the street lookin' good baby
Deep down in your heart you know that it ain't right
No you'll never hear me cryin' you know I cry all the time
Each time I tell myself that I can't stand the pain
You hold me in your arms and I start singin' once again
So come on, come on, come on and

(Repeat chorus)

Each time I tell myself that I can't stand the pain
You hold me in your arms and I start singin' once again
So, come on, come on, come on and

Take it
Take another little piece of my heart now baby
Won't you just take it
Take another little piece of my heart
I know you will
And you will break it
Break another little piece of my heart now baby
'Cause you know you got it if it makes you feel good, so good

Take another little piece of my heart now baby
Won't you just take it
Take another little piece of my heart
I know you will
And you will break it
Break another little piece of my heart now baby

Take another little piece of my heart, my heart, my heart, my heart
Take another little piece of my heart now baby
Won't you just break it
Break another little piece of my heart now baby
