Lady Gaga - Cheek To Cheek Lyrics
(Featuring
Tony Bennett)
Anything Goes
[Lady Gaga:] In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking
Now heaven knows, anything goes
[Tony Bennett:] Good authors too who once knew better words
Now only use four letter words writing prose
Anything goes
[Tony Bennett:] The world has gone mad today
And good's bad today
[Lady Gaga:] And day's night today
And black's white today
[Tony Bennett:] And most guys today that women prize today
[Lady Gaga:] Are just silly gigolos
[Tony Bennett:] And though I'm not a great romancer
[Lady Gaga:] I know you're bound to answer
[Both:] When we propose, anything goes
[Tony Bennett:] GO!
[Lady Gaga:] GO!
[Lady Gaga:] The world has gone mad today
[Tony Bennett:] And good's bad today
[Lady Gaga:] And day's night today
[Tony Bennett:] And black's white today
[Lady Gaga:] And most guys today that women prize today
Are just silly gigolos
[Both:] And though we're not such great romancers
We know that you're bound to answer
When we propose, anything goes
[Tony Bennett:] Anything goes
[Lady Gaga:] Anything goes
[Both:] Anything goes

Cheek To Cheek
Heaven, I'm in Heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Heaven, I'm in Heaven
And the cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Oh, I love to climb a mountain
And reach the highest peak (me too)
But it doesn't thrill me half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek
And I love to go out fishing
In a river or a creek
But I don't enjoy it half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek
Dance with me
I want my arm about you
The charm about you
Will carry me through
To Heaven (Heaven), yes, I'm in Heaven (I'm in Heaven)
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Go
Dance with me
I want my arm about you
The charm about you
Will carry me through
To Heaven, I'm in Heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
Oh baby, when we're out together dancing
(Out together dancing)
Out together dancing cheek to cheek

Dont Wait Too Long
You are the summer and I am the autumn
Don't wait too long
Your song's beginning while mine has been sung
Don't wait too long
Fall is a lovely time of the year
When the leaves turn to gold and brown
But soon fall is ending and winter is near
And the leaves start tumblin' down
Why must the moments go by in such haste?
Don't wait too long
Winter is coming, we've no time to waste
Don't wait too long
And while my heart's gay and foolish and free and still can sing its song
Share every precious moment with me, don't wait too long
So while my heart's gay and foolish and free and still can sing its song
Share every precious moment with me, don't wait too long

I Cant Give You Anything But Love
[Lady Gaga:]
I can't give you anything but love, baby
That's the only thing I've plenty of, baby
Dream a while, scheme a while you're sure to find
Happiness and I guess all those things you've always pined for
Gee, I like to see you looking swell, tony with
Diamond watches, Tiffany's just don't sell, baby
Till the lucky day you know darn well
Oh I can't give you anything but love.
[Tony Bennett:]
I can't give you anything but love, lady
That's the only thing I've plenty of, lady
Dream awhile, scheme a while, you're sure to find
Happiness and I guess all those things you've always pined for
How you like to see me looking swell? lady
Diamond bracelets, Woolworth doesn't sell, Gaga
[Duet:]
Till the lucky day you know darn well, baby
Oh I can't give you anything, I don't want just anything
Oh I can't give you anything but love

Nature Boy
There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he
And then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return
And then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return

Goody Goody
So you met someone who set you back on your heels, goody goody!
So you met someone and now you know how it feels, goody goody!
So you gave her your heart too, just as I gave mine to you (Stop talkin' about this stuff)
And he broke it in little pieces, now how do you do? (That's not even funny Tony)
So you lie awake just singing the blues all night, goody goody!
So you found that loves a barrel of dynamite (I told you I'm not a goody, I'm a baddy)
Hurray and hallelujah, you had it comin' to ya (You think you're funny huh?)
Goody goody for you! Goody goody for me (Goody goody for you!)
And I hope you're satisfied you rascal you (That's what real chick is huh?)
So you met someone who set you back on your heels, goody goody!
So you met someone and now you know how it feels, goody goody! (I was confused you know?)
So you gave her your heart too, just as I gave mine to you
And he broke it in little pieces (I know), now how do you do?
So you lie awake just singing the blues all night (Yeah, all night), goody goody!
So you think that loves a barrel of dynamite (Yeah, so what? Sometimes!)
Hurray and hallelujah, you had it comin' to ya (Stop lying)
Goody goody for you! Goody goody for me (I'm not a goody, I'm a baddy)
Your love has been denied, you've been taken for a ride (What? Are you happy now?)
And I hope you're satisfied you rascal you (Yeah, I'll be fine. Just stop singing that song!)

Evry Time We Say Goodbye
We love each other so deeply
That I ask you, the sweetheart
Why should we quarrel ever
Why can't we be enough clever, never to part
Every time we say goodbye I die a little
Every time we say goodbye I wonder why a little
Why the gods above me who must be in the know
Think so little of me
They allow you to go
When you're near
There's such an air of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere begin to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change from major to minor
Every time we say goodbye
Every time we say goodbye

Firefly
I call her Firefly
Cause, oh, my
She radiates moonglow
Wants none of that noon glow
She starts to glitter
When the sun goes down
Bout eight p.m., it's mayhem
She switches the brights up
Lights up and gives me a call
Take me to the Fireflies ball
But when I get her there
Set her there
Do I get to pet her there
And grab me some glow
No, she's a gad about, mad about
Luring every lad about
While leaving me moaning low
Oh, Firefly, why can't I
Latch onto you no how
Oh, how I love you but gee
While you set the night on
Firefly, shine a little light on me
But when I get her there
Set her there
Do I get to pet her there
And grab me some glow
No, she's a gad about, mad about
Luring every lad about
While leaving me moaning low
Oh, Firefly, why can't I
Latch on for you no how
Oh, how I love you but gee
While you set the night on
Firefly, shine a little light on
Shine a little light on
Shine a little light on me
(in the mornin')

I Wont Dance
I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, Madame, with you
My heart won't let my feet do things that they should do
You know what?, you're lovely
And so what? I'm lovely
And, oh, what you do to me
I'm like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore
I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor
When you dance, you're charming and you're gentle
Especially when we do the Continental
But this feeling isn't purely mental
For, heaven rest us, we're not asbestos
And that's why I won't dance, why should I?
I won't dance, how could I?
I won't dance, merci beaucoup
We know that music leads the way to romance,
So if I hold you in my arms I won't dance
When you dance, you're charming and you're gentle
Especially when you do the Continental
But this feeling isn't purely mental
For, heaven rest us, I am not asbestos
And that's why I won't dance, why should I?
I won't dance, how could I?
I won't dance, merci beaucoup
We know that music leads the way to romance,
So if I hold you in my arms I won't dance
I won't dance, I won't dance, I won't dance
I won't dance, dance, dance
I won't dance
Dance

They All Laughed
They all laughed at Christopher Columbus
When he said "The world was round"
They all laughed when Edison recorded sound
They all laughed at Wilbur and his brother
When they said "Man could fly"
They told Marconi, wireless was a phony
It's the same old cry
They laughed at me wanting you
Said I was reaching for the moon
But all you came through
Now they'll have to change their tune
They all said we never could be happy
They laughed at us and how!
Ho, ho, ho!
Who's got the last laugh now?
They all laughed at Rockefeller Center
And now they're fighting to get in
They all laughed at Whitney and his cotton gin
They all laughed at Fulton and his steamboat
Hershey and his chocolate bar
Ford and his Lizzie, he kept the laughers busy
That's how people are
They laughed at me wanting you
Said it would be, "Hello, Goodbye"
But all you came through
Now they're eating humble pie
They all said we'd never get together
Darling, take a bow
Ho, ho, ho!
Who's got the last laugh?
Hee, hee, hee!
Let's at the past laugh
Ha, ha, ha!
Who's got the last laugh now?

Lush Life
I used to visit all the very gay places
Those come what may places
Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life
To get the feel of life
From jazz and cocktails
The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces
With distingué traces
That used to be there you could see where
They'd been washed away
By too many through the day
Twelve o'clock tales
Then you came along with your siren song
To tempt me to madness
I thought for a while that your poignant smile
Was tinged with the sadness
Of a great love for me
Ah, yes, I was wrong
Again I was wrong
Life is lonely again
And only last year
Everything seemed so sure
Now life is awful again
A troughful of hearts
Could only be a bore
A week in Paris will ease the bite of it
All I care is to smile in spite of it
I'll forget you I will
And yet you are still
Burning inside my brain
Romance is mush
Stifling those who strive
I'll live a lush
Life in some small dive
And there I'll be
While I rot with the rest
Of those whose lives are lonely too

But Beautiful
Love is funny, or it's sad
Or it's quiet, or it's mad
It's a good thing or it's bad
But beautiful
Beautiful to take a chance and if you fall you fall
And I'm thinking I wouldn't mind at all
Love is tearful, or it's gay
It's a problem or it's play
It's a heartache either way
But beautiful
And I'm thinking if you were mine I'd never let you go
And that would be but beautiful I know
And I'm thinking if you were mine I'd never let you go
And that would be but beautiful
That would be but beautiful
That would be but beautiful I know

It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)
It don't mean a thing
If it ain't got that swing
Doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah
No, it don't mean a thing
All you got to do is sing
Doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah
Makes no diff'rence
If it's sweet or it's hot
Give it all that rhythm that you got
Oh, it don't mean a thing
If it ain't got that swing
Doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah
(Tony) Got that
It makes no diff'rence
If it's sweet or hot
Just give that rhythm everything that you got
No, it don't mean a thing
If it ain't got that swing
Doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah
Doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah da
