Presenting Dionne Warwick (1963)












This Empty Place lyrics - Dionne Warwick

There's an empty place beside me
When I'm walkin' down the street
That's the place where you used to walk
The place where you held my hand
Now I reach and all I touch is space
An empty, empty place

Sadness and tears, that's all you left me
They're such bad souvenirs
Of a love that once was, oh, so very great
The greatest love
Reaching all the way to the stars above

And now there's not a star left in the sky
And if you don't come back to me I'll die
Only your embrace
Can fill this empty place

If I don't fill this emptiness
I know that I'll lose my mind
Looking out and only seeing space
An empty, empty place

Oh, sadness and tears, that's all you left me
They're such bad, bad souvenirs
Of a love that once was, oh, so very great
The greatest love
Reaching all the way to the stars above

But now there's not a star left in the sky
And if you don't come back to me I'll die
Only your embrace
Can fill this empty place

Come back, come back, come back to me
Come back and fill my empty arms
I need your lovin' darling
Your lips are lovin' darling

Wishin' And Hopin' lyrics - Dionne Warwick

Wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin'
Plannin' and dreamin' each night of his charms
That won't get you into his arms

So if you're lookin' to find love you can share
All you gotta do is
Hold him and kiss him and love him
And show him that you care

Show him that you care just for him
Do the things he likes to do
Wear your hair just for him, 'cause
You won't get him
Thinkin' and a-prayin'
Wishin' and hopin'

Just wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin'
Plannin' and dreamin' his kiss is the start
That won't get you into his heart

So if you're thinkin' how great true love is
All you gotta do is
Hold him and kiss him and squeeze him and love him
Yeah, just do it and after you do, you will be his

(You gotta)
Show him that you care just for him
Do the things he likes to do
Wear your hair just for him, 'cause
You won't get him
Thinkin' and a-prayin'
Wishin' and hopin'

Just wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin'
Plannin' and dreamin' his kiss is the start
That won't get you into his heart

So if you're thinkin' how great true love is
All you gotta do is
Hold him and kiss him and squeeze him and love him
Yeah, just do it and after you do, you will be his
You will be his, you will be his

I Cry Alone lyrics - Dionne Warwick

I cry alone
When no one else can hear me
When friends come by to cheer me
I smile and say I feel okay

But I cry alone
Each lonely night without you
But when they talk about you
I make believe I never grieve

And here in my room
When no one else can find me
I lock the door behind me
And I cry
Please come home, come back to me
Oh how I long to kiss you
If friends say I don't miss you
They just don't know
How I cry alone

If friends say I don't miss you
They just don't know
How I cry alone

Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah lyrics - Dionne Warwick

(originally by James Baskett)

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay
My, oh my, what a wonderful day!
Plenty of sunshine, headin' my way
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay
Mister bluebird on my shoulder
It's the truth, it's actual
Everything is satisfactual
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay
Wonderful feeling, wonderful day!

Make The Music Play lyrics - Dionne Warwick

Make the music play
Just a little slower
Play a little slower
Let him hold me in his arms
A little longer

Make the music play
Just a little softer
Play a little softer
Let him hear me when I sigh
How much I love him.

Make the music play
Keep teh magic going
Keep the love-light glowing
Within his arms
Don’t even skip a beat
Or he may get away
And if we were parted
I'd be broken-hearted
Til I’m in his arms to stay
Please make the music play
Let him hear me when I sigh
How much I love him.

Make the music play
Keep the magic going
Keep the love-light glowing

If You See Bill lyrics - Dionne Warwick

Just tell him, I still love him
Just tell him, please, come back to me
Just tell him, I am sorry
And I'm in misery

If you see Bill
Just tell him that I need him
Just tell him, I'll wait for him
If you see Bill

At night I sit alone and wonder
Who is kissing him right now?
She doesn't know it but she hasn't got the right
I'm the girl, but somehow

If you see Bill
Give lonely heart a helping hand
Tell me to find my friend
If you see Bill
Tell him, I want him, tell him, I need him
If you see Bill, if you see Bill

Don't Make Me Over lyrics - Dionne Warwick

Don't make me over
Now that I'd do anything for you
Don't make me over
Now that you know how I adore you

Don't pick on the things I say, the things I do
Just love me with all my fault
The way that I love you
I'm begging you

Don't make me over
Now that I can't make it without you
Don't make me over
I wouldn't change one thing about you

Just take me inside your arms and hold me tight
And always be by my side, if I am wrong or right
I'm begging you

Don't make me over
Don't make me over
Now that you've got me at your command

Accept me for what I am
Accept me for the things that I do
Accept me for what I am
Accept me for the things that I do

Now that I'd do anything for you
Now that you know how I adore you

Just take me inside your arms and hold me tight
And always be by my side, if I am wrong or right
I'm begging you

Don't make me over
Don't make me over
Now that you've got me at your command

Accept me for what I am
Accept me for the things that I do
Accept me for what I am
Accept me for the things that I do

It's Love That Really Counts lyrics - Dionne Warwick

(originally by The Shirelles)

Some other guy may give
Me diamonds and pearls
The kind of things
that mean so much to some girls

But in the long run, baby
It's love that really counts
Believe me
It's love that really counts
And baby, after loving you
I'm here to say
That no one else will do

Who cares if you don't
Show me Paris or Rome?
As long as you are here
I'm happy at home
'Cause in the long run, baby
It's love that really counts
Believe me
It's love that really counts
When other loves have come & gone
This love of ours will soon
go on and on

So take me in your arms
And darling
Kiss me like only
You know how to do
It's love that really counts
Love that really counts

I'm tellin' you

Unlucky lyrics - Dionne Warwick

Unlucky, unlucky in love
What's the reason I ask the stars above
I guess I'm just unlucky in love

In love, disappointed most of the time
Where is that someone that's supposed to be mine?
I guess I'm just unlucky in love

All sun and the moon take to the sky
Berries even take to the park
The birds and the leaves take to the trees
But don't nobody take to me

Oh, unlucky, yes, until I die
All alone, just me, myself and I
I guess I'm just unlucky
Why am I so unlucky in love?

I Smiled Yesterday lyrics - Dionne Warwick

Though I smiled yesterday
You know I'm not gonna smile anymore today
(Since you went away from me)
How I miss you
(Since you went away from me)
I long to kiss you
Until you are back with me
I'm never gonna smile anymore, oh no

Though I laughed yesterday
You know I'm not gonna laugh anymore today
(Every moment we're apart)
I get so lonely
(Every moment we’re apart)
I love you only
Until you are back with me
I'm never gonna smile anymore, oh no

And baby, every day without you
Is a day that's gonna turn out wrong
I need, need your love so badly
So won't you, won't you, won't you
Won't you let me smile again

Like I smiled yesterday
I don't wanna cry anymore like I cried today
(Baby hurry back to me)
I need your lovin'
(Baby hurry back to me)
Your tender lovin'
Until you are back with me
I'm never gonna smile anymore, oh no

And baby, every day without you
Is a day that's gonna turn out wrong
I need, need your love so badly
So won't you, won't you, won't you
Won't you let me smile again

Like I smiled yesterday
I don't wanna cry anymore like I cried today
(Baby hurry back to me)
I need your lovin'
(Baby hurry back to me)
Your tender lovin'
Until you are back with me
I'm never gonna smile anymore, oh no

Make It Easy On Yourself lyrics - Dionne Warwick

(originally by Jerry Butler)

Make it easy on yourself
Oh, breaking up is so very hard to do

If you really love him
And there's nothing I can do
Don't try to spare my feelings
Just tell me that we're through

And make it easy on yourself
Make it easy on yourself
'Cause breaking up is so very hard to do

And if the way I hold you
Can't compare to his caress
No words of consolation
Will make me miss you less

My darling, if this is goodbye
I just know I'm gonna cry
So run to him
Before you start crying too

And make it easy on yourself
Make it easy on yourself
'Cause breaking up is so very hard to do

Oh, baby, it's so hard to do

The Love Of A Boy lyrics - Dionne Warwick

(originally by Timi Yuro)

The love of a boy
Can change a girl
Into a woman

(Woman, a woman)

I know that it's true
My love for you
Made me a woman

One time I was only a girl
Young and afraid
You came to me
And you gave me love
What a difference you made

The love of a boy
Can change a girl
Into a woman

(Woman, a woman)

With just one caress
Your tenderness
Made me a woman
Made me a woman

You are faithful and true
Love burning deep in my heart
Is onl . . .
And it's only for you
My true love

Woah, oh oh, oh oh
Woah, oh oh, oh oh . . .
