All of me

Beyond the sea
Call me irresponsible
Can’t buy me love
Come fly with me

Crazy little thing called love
Crazy love

Eye of the tiger
Felling good

Have you met Miss Jones
Haven't met you yet
Heart ache tonight
Hold on

Home
How sweet it is
I get a kick out of you
I'm your man
I've got the world on a string
I've got you under my skin
It had better be tonight
It had to be you
It was only a paper moon
Just you, just me

Try a little tenderness
Witchcraft

You and I
You make me feel so young
You’re nobody til somebody loves you
And many many more……
