Name that Tune

[Human without the bean]

When I said I needed you
You said you would always stay
It wasn't me who changed but you
And now you've gone away

Don't you see
That now you've gone
And I'm left here on my own
That I have to follow you
And beg you to come home?

Left alone with just a memory
Life seems dead and so unreal
All that's left is loneliness
There's nothing left to feel

You don't have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, believe me

[GeorgeStGeorge]

This one I'm sure I've heard.  The last verse is in my head, but I can't think of the title or the (female) artist).

George

[Human without the bean]

The song to me is like a ballad.  Very powerful.  You are right.  The artist is female.

[Human without the bean]

Oops, you might have got it George, or anyone, were busy doing the holidays, but this was Dusty Springfields "You Don't Have to say you Love Me"

Oops, I gave away the song title.

"YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY YOU LOVE ME"
Just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, believe me

New song:

Get outta my way
Always in a hurry
Always in between
That's where you can find me

Gettin' pretty tired of stoppin'
In old run down cafes
Some day I'm gonna find me a woman
Rich enough to pay my way

I might have gotten it if the title weren't in the lyrics you gave.  

This new one doesn't ring any bells yet.

George

[Human without the bean]

I think my song is probably too obscure and it probably didn't really get a lot of play on the radio.  Therefore, I'm ditching this for another one.  Truckin' by ~Bread~

"If I should call you up, invest a dime
And you say you belong to me and ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be, so very fine"

"I can't see me loving nobody
But you for all my life
When you're with me, baby
The skies will be blue for all my life"

Happy Together, by the Turtles.

George

[Human without the bean]

Yes.  Correct George.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I was on your side Bill when you were losin'
I'd never scheme or lie Bill there's been no fooling

Wedding Bell Blues   Marilyn McCoo or ~The Fifth Dimension~

It's right.

I have a mansion forget the price
Ain't never been there they tell me it's nice
I live in hotels tear out the walls
I have accountants pay for it all

I figured someone would have figured this out by now.  No one's got this yet?

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I don't know it.

I'm sure you've heard of it George.

I have a mansion but forget the price
Ain't never been there, they tell me its nice
I live in hotels, tear out the walls
I have accountants pay for it all

 

My Maseratti does one-eighty-five
I lost my license, now I don't drive
I have a limo, ride in the back
I lock the doors in case I'm attacked
I'm making records, my fans they can't wait
They write me letters, tell me I'm great
So I got me an office, gold records on the wall
Just leave a message, maybe I'll call

 

[WordWolf]

Man, it sure sounds like you've lived a good life....

[WordWolf]

One might say "LIFE'S BEEN GOOD TO ME SO FAR",  if one were Joe Walsh.

 

[Human without the bean]

One would, correct.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I may have heard it, but neither the title nor the performer is familiar to me.

Joe Walsh was a member of the first group I ever saw in concert, The James Gang.  I think ~Sugarloaf~ was the backup band,  "Green Eyed Lady".  He became a solo artist but then was hired as a permanent member of ~The Eagles~ in 1975 as their guitarist and keyboardist, and vocalist.  He is very versatile and when ~The Eagles~ are on tour they play some of Joe Walsh's solo songs too.   He's kind of a huge artist.

Carry a compass

to help you along.

Your feet are going

to be on the ground.

Your head is there to move you around."

And I've got one more silver dollar

But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no

Ok, now that sounds familiar.

"Midnight Rider."  I think that's the Allman Brothers.
