2) Big Spender

The minute you walked in the joint
I could see you were a man of distinction
A real big spender
Good lookin', so refined
Say, wouldn't you like to know what's goin' on in my mind?

So let me get right to the point
I don't pop my cork for every man I see
Hey, big spender
Spend a little time with me

Wouldn't you like to have fun, fun, fun?
How's about a few laughs, laughs?

Spend a little time with me

4) Goldfinger

Goldfinger
He's the man, the man with the Midas touch
A spider's touch
Such a cold finger
Beckons you to enter his web of sin
But don't go in

Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death from
Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girl beware of this heart of gold
This heart is cold

Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death from
Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girl beware of this heart of gold
This heart is cold
He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold
He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold

5) I Am What I Am

I am what I am
I am my own special creation
So come, take a look
Give me the hook or the ovation
It's my world that I want to have a little pride in
My world, and it's not a place I have to hide in
Life's not worth a damn
'Til you can say, "Hey world, I am what I am"

I am what I am
I don't want praise, I don't want pity
I bang my own drum
Some think it's noise, I think it's pretty
And so what if I love each sparkle and each bangle?
Why not try to see things from a different angle?
Your life is a sham
'Til you can shout out loud, "I am what I am"

I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck
Sometimes the ace, sometimes the deuces
There's one life and there's no return and no deposit
One life, so it's time to open up your closet
Life's not worth a damn
'Til you can say, "Hey world, I am what I am"

I am what I am
I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck
Sometimes the ace, sometimes the deuces
There's one life and there's no return and no deposit
One life, so it's time to open up your closet
Life's not worth a damn
'Til you can say, "Hey world, I am what I am"

6) I Who Have Nothing

I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Adore you, and want you so
I'm just a no one with nothing to give you but, oh

I love you

He, he buys you diamonds
Bright, sparkling diamonds
But, believe me, dear, when I say
That he can give you the world but he'll never love you the way

I love you

He can take you anyplace he wants
To fancy clubs and restaurants
But I can only watch you with

My nose pressed up against the window pane
I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Must watch you go dancing by
Wrapped in the arms of somebody else when, darling, it's I

Who loves you

I love you

I love you

7) Never, Never, Never (Grande, Grande, Grande)

I'd like to run away from you
But if I were to leave you, I would die
I'd like to break the chains you put around me
And yet I'll never try

No matter what you do, you drive me crazy
I'd rather be alone
But then I know my life would be so empty
As soon as you were gone
Impossible to live with you
But I could never live without you
For whatever you do
I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you

You make me sad
You make me strong
You make me mad
You make me long for you
You make me live
You make me die
You make me laugh
You make me cry for you
I hate you
Then I love you
Then I love you
Then I hate you
Then I love you more

For whatever you do
I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you
You treat me wrong
You treat me right
You let me be
You make me fight with you
I could never live without you
You make me high
You bring me down
You set me free
You hold me bound to you
I hate you
Then I love you
I love you, then I hate you
But I want you 'til the world stops turning

For whatever you do
I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you
I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you

8) This Is My Life (La Vita)

Funny how a lonely day
Can make a person say
What good is my life
Funny how a breaking heart
Can make me start to say
What good is my life

Funny how I often seem
To think I'll find another dream
In my life
Till I look around and see
This great big world is part of me
And my life

This is my life
Today, tomorrow, love will come and find me
But that's the way that I was born to be
This is me
This is me

This is my life
And I don't give a damn for lost emotions
I've such a lot of love I've got to give
Let me live
Let me live

Sometimes when I feel afraid
I think of what a mess I've made
Of my life
Crying over my mistakes
Forgetting all the breaks I've had
In my life

I was put on earth to be
A part of this great world is me
And my life, yeah

This is my life
Today, tomorrow, love will come and find me
But that's the way that I was born to be
This is me
This is me

This is my life
And I don't give a damn for lost emotions
I've such a lot of love I've got to give
Let me live
Let me live

This is my life
This is my life
This is my life

9) What Now My Love

What now my love?
Now that you left me
How can I live through another day?
Watching my dreams turn into ashes
And my hopes into bits of clay

Once I could see
Once I could feel
Now I am numb
I've become unreal

I walk the night
Oh, without a goal
Stripped of my heart, my soul
What now my love?
Now that it's over
I feel the world closing in on me
Here come the stars
Tumbling around me
And there's the sky
Where the sea should be

What now my love?
Now that you're gone
I'd be a fool to go on and on
No one would care
No one would cry
If I should live or die

What now my love?
Now there is nothing
Only my last goodbye
