here you come again

Dolly Parton had her first big pop crossover hit with this song about resisting a revolving door romance.  'Here You Come Again' was composed by the song-writing team of Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil and propelled her album of the same name to the top twenty on the US album chart (and number one on the country album chart).  The song became her fifth country number one and her first single to break the top sixty on the pop charts.  'Here You Come Again' also went to number seventy-five in the UK; seven on the Canadian pop chart; three on the US pop chart; two on the US adult contemporary chart; and number one on the Canadian adult contemporary and country charts.  The song also won Parton a Grammy for Best Female Country Vocal Performance.

Here you come again
Just when I'm about to make it work without you
You waltz right in the door
Just like you done before
And wrap my heart round your little finger
Here you come again
Just when I'm about to make it work without you
You look into my eyes
And light those dreamy eyes
And pretty soon I'm wonderin'
How I came to doubt you
All you gotta do
Is smile that smile
And there go all my defenses
Just leave it up to you
And in a little while
You're messin' up my mind
An' fillin' up my senses
Here you come again
Lookin' better than a body
Has a right to
An shakin' me up so
That all I really know
Is here you come again
An' here I go
All you gotta do
Is smile that smile
And there go all my defenses
Just leave it up to you
And in a little while
You're messin' up my mind
An' fillin' up my senses
Here you come again
Looki'n better than a body
Has a right to
An shakin' me up so
That all I really know
Is here you come again
An' here I go
Here I go
An' here I go
An' here I go
Here you come again
An' here I go
Here I go
An' here I go

9 to 5

The Queen of Country Music poured herself a cup of ambition and had her first number one on the pop chart with this song inspired by the National Association of Working Women. Dolly Parton wrote the song while the movie of the same name was filming. She realized when she rubbed her acrylic fingernails together that it sounded like a typewriter, and, since the film was about secretaries, decided to use that sound in the actual recording. The song won Grammys for Best Country Song and Best Female Country Vocal Performance. It also won the People's Choice Award for Favorite Motion Picture Song and received Oscar and Golden Globe nominations.

Tumble outta bed
And stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
Yawnin' and stretchin' and try to come to life

Jump in the shower
And the blood starts pumpin'
Out on the streets
The traffic starts jumpin'
With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5

Workin' 9 to 5
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin'
And no givin'
They just use your mind
And they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it

9 to 5, for service and devotion
You would think that I
Would deserve a fair promotion
Want to move ahead
But the boss won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me
Mmmmm...

They let you dream
Just a' watch 'em shatter
You're just a step
On the boss man's ladder
But you got dream he'll never take away

In the same boat
With a lot of your friends
Waitin' for the day
Your ship 'll come in
And the tide's gonna turn
An' it's all gonna roll you away

Workin' 9 to 5
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin'
And no givin'
They just use your mind
And you never get the credit
It's enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it

9 to 5, yeah, they got you where they want you
There's a better life
And you think about it don't you
It's a rich man's game
No matter what they call it
And you spend your life
Putting money in his wallet

Workin' 9 to 5
What a way to make a livin'

They just use you mind
And they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you
Crazy if you love it

9 to 5, yeah, they got you where they want you
There's a better life
And you think about it don't you
It's a rich man's game
