ATF: Give and Take

This weekly series will include as many of my all-time favorite tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way that your musical tastes can be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions that you might dare to make.  I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.



Give To Live
Sammy Hagar
Oooh
I can see
That you've got fire in your eyes
And pain inside your heart
So many things have come
And torn your world apart
Oh
Baby
Baby
Baby
Don't give up
Don't give up
Don't give up

If you want love
If you want love
You've got to give a little
If you want love
If you want faith
You just believe a little
If you want love
If you want peace
Turn your cheek a little
Oh
You've got to give
You've got to give
You've got to give
To live

An empty hand
Reachin’ out for someone
An empty heart
Takes so little to fill
It's so much easier
To push instead of pull
Oh
Baby
Baby
Baby
Don't give up
Don't give up
Don't give up

If you want love
If you want love
You've got to give a little
If you want love
If you want faith
You just believe a little
If you want love
If you want peace
Turn your cheek a little
Oh
You've got to give
You've got to give
You've got to give
To live

Each man's a country
In his own right
Oh
Everybody
Needs a friend
One friend
One God
One country
No man need defend
Yeah

I believe
In fate and destination
But so much of that lies
In our own hands
If you know what you want
Just go on out
And get it
Oh
Baby
Baby
Just don't give up
No
No
Oh
Don't give up
Yeah
Yeah

If you want love
If you want love
You've got to give a little
If you want love
If you want faith
You just believe a little
If you want love
If you want peace
Turn your cheek a little
Oh
If you want love
You've got to give
If you want love
Oh
Give to live
If you want love
You've got to give
You've got to give
You've got to give
To live
If you want love
If you want love
Oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oh
If you want love
Oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oh
If you want love
Oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oh
If you want love

But you'll never get away

From the burn
And the heartache
I walked to Apollo by the bay
Everywhere I go
Though
Eli's a-comin'
She walked
But she never got away
Eli's a-comin'

And he's comin' to get ya
She walked

Get down on your knees
She walked
But she never got away

I walked to Apollo by the bay
Everywhere I go

But she'll never get away
Eli's a-comin'
She walked
But she'll never get away
Eli's a-comin'
And he's comin' to get ya
She walked

Get down on your knees
She walked
But she'll never get away
Get down on your knees

No no

You better
Hide it
Somebody

You got to
Hide it
Oh

Hide it

Oh oh oh
Whoa oh
Oh whoa

  3. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Ann!!! Hey, I sure ain't gonna promote singing about turkeys when I ain't gettin' to eat any! Arlynda was admitted to the hospital again, and we don't know when she will be able to come home yet. Thankfully, I am still not afraid, but on the other hand, I am still numb. I hope things are going better up your way.

  11. Hey Jerry!
    Thanks for your birthday wishes for my son, very much appreciated.
    Three Dog Night! Man, that brings back memories, showing my age here! ;-)
    I am typing this during the few minutes I have at home for my lunch break. I think everyone else in the country must be shopping!

  12. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Kay!!! I was actually a bigger fan of Three Dog Night than The Beatles back then.
