SOUNDTRACK
Ally McBeal. For Once In My Life featuring VONDA SHEPARD (2001)


1: For Once in My Life (Vonda Shepard)
written by Ron Miller and Orlando Murden 
----------------------------------------
For once in my life 
I have someone who needs me 
Someone I've needed so long 
For once unafraid 
I can go where life leads me 
And somehow I know I'll be strong 

For once I can touch 
What my heart used to dream of 
Long before I knew 
Someone warm like you 
Could make my dreams come true 

For once in my life 
I won't let sorrow hurt me 
Not like it's hurt me before, oh 
For once I've got someone 
I know won't desert me 
'Cause I'm not alone anymore 

For once I can say 
This is mine, you can't take it 
As long as I've got love I know I can make it 
For once in my life 
I've got someone who needs me  



2: Home Again (Vonda Shepard)
Originally performed by Carole King
-----------------------------------
Sometimes I wonder if I'm ever gonna make it home again
It's so far and out of sight.
I really need someone to talk to, and nobody else
Knows how to comfort me tonight.
Snow is cold, rain is wet,
Chills my soul right to the marrow.
I won't be happy till I see you alone again,
Till I'm home again and feelin right.

Snow is cold, rain is wet,
Chills my soul right to the marrow.
I won't be happy till I see you alone again,
Till I'm home again and feelin' right,
Till I'm home again and feelin' right,
I wanna be home again and feelin' right.



3: Don't Think Twice, It's All Right (Vonda Shepard)
Written and recorded by Bob Dylan 
---------------------------------
It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe 
It don't matter, anyhow 
And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe 
If you don't know by now 
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn 
Look out your window and I'll be gone 
You're the reason I'm traveling on 
Don't think twice, it's all right 

It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe 
That light I never knowed 
And it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe 
I'm on the dark side of the road 
Still I wish there was something you would do or say 
To try and make me change my mind and stay 
We never did too much talkin' anyway 
Don't think twice, it's all right 

It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal 
Like you never did before 
It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal 
I can't hear you any more 
I'm a thinkin' and a-wond'rin' all the way down the road 
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told 
I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul 
Don't think twice, it's all right 

I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe 
Where I'm bound, I can't tell 
But goodbye's too good a word, gal 
So I'll just say, fare thee well 
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind 
You could have done better but I don't mind 
You just kinda wasted my precious time 
Don't think twice it's all right 



4: Chances Are (Vonda Shepard & Robert Downey, Jr.)
---------------------------------------------------
Chances are you'll find me 
Somewhere on your road tonight 
Seems I always end up driving by 
Ever since I've known you 
It just seems you're on my way 
All the rules of logic don't apply 

I long to see you in the night 
Be with you 'til morning light 

I remember clearly how you looked 
The night we met 
I recall your laughter and your smile 
I remember how you made me 
Feel so at ease 
I remember all your grace, your style 

And now you're all I long to see 
You've come to mean so much to me 

Chances are I'll see you 
Somewhere in my dreams tonight 
You'll be smiling like the night we met 
Chances are I'll hold you and I'll offer 
All I have 

You're the only one I can't forget 
Baby you're the best, I've ever met 

And I'll be dreaming of the future 
And hoping you'll be by my side 
And in the morning I'll be longing 
For the night, for the night 

Chances are I'll see you 
Somewhere in my dreams tonight 
You'll be smiling like the night we met 
Chances are I'll hold you and I'll offer 
All I have 

You're the only one I can't forget 
Baby you're the best I've ever met  



5: Every Breath You Take (Robert Downey, Jr. & Sting)
-----------------------------------------------------
Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you

Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you

O can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches with every step you take

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you

Since you've gone I been lost without a trace
I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I keep crying baby please

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you



6: You And Me (Vonda Shepard)
-----------------------------
Part of me wants to break the ice
And part of me wants to roll the dice
Exactly how it stands
Part of me wants to roll the dice
And part of me wants to leave them curled up in my hands

Where they will be safe and no one will know
How I really feel and I'll never be real
And I'll roll with the punches that I'll never feel
And I'll have a heart that no one can steal

Chorus
It's you and me and you're nowhere to be found
I'm rolling on the ground
It's me and you and I'm nowhere to be found

Part of me wants to break these chains
And part of me wants to keep them locked up tight
Part of me wants to stop these rains
And part of me wants them to fall all night

Fall on my head just to wake me up
Anything to drench my half-empty cup
And I'm sorry baby I've had enough
I'm tired of your promised tearing me up

Repeat Chorus

You will be safe and no one will know
How you really feel and you'll never be real
And you'll roll with the punches that you'll never feel
And you'll have a heart that I'll never steal

Repeat Chorus 



7: Snakes (Robert Downey, Jr.)
------------------------------
You have body, you give soul
You're a soul survivor, it's so, it's so clear
I like long gone songs of old,
You sing throughout the year.

It'll be like love is for
The rest of our lives
I won't have to run around,
Baby you, won't have to think twice

Let me tell you somethin' 'bout those
Snakes in the grass
A bunch of bleeding bug bites taught me
How it won't last.
yeah yeah yeah yeah
ohhh ohh
go
hummm

Give me your body won't you
Give me your sweet soul
Love will you take over our love
Will you take control

Pick a shovel,
Fill my little holes
Drive me to the red line
And climb my iron flagpole

There's a {big}
There's a {rage for love}
That's calling out there
All these {purple spheres}

Where the free soar,
Up where it glistens
You will eat off my fears.

Ay yi yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah,
yeah.
do-doo.
yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
do-doo.

Where the free soar,
Up where it glistens
You will eat off my fears

Drive me to the red line
And climb my iron flagpole.

Where the free soar,
Up where it glistens

yeah-yeah etc. 



8: Reason to Believe (Vonda Shepard)
written by Tim Hardin 
---------------------
If I listened long enough to you 
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true 
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried 
Still I look to find a reason to believe 

Someone like you makes it hard to live without 
Somebody else 
Someone like you makes it easy to give 
Never think about myself 

If I gave you time to change my mind 
I'd find a way just to leave the past behind 
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried 
Still I look to find a reason to believe 

If I listened long enough to you 
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true 
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried 
Still I look to find a reason to believe 

Someone like you makes it hard to live without 
Somebody else 
Someone like you makes it easy to give 
Never think about myself  



9: How Can You Mend A Broken Heart (Al Green)
---------------------------------------------
I can think of younger days when living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do.
I could never see tomorrow, but I was never told about the sorrow.

And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend a this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again.

I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees
And misty memories of days gone by
We could never see tomorrow, noone said a word about the sorrow.

And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again.



10: When the Heartache Is Over (Tina Turner)
written by G. Stack, J. Reid
----------------------------
Once in a lifetime you find 
Someone to show you the way 
Someone to make your decisions 
And I let you lead me astray. 
Who did you think you were fooling 
Said you were missing me blind 
But the truth is I knew you were lying 
You were using me time after time. 

When the heartache is over 
I know I won't be missing you (missing you) 
Won't look over my shoulder 
'Cause I know that I can live without you 
Oh live without you 
Oh I can live without you 

Time to move on with my life now 
Leaving the past all behind 
I can make my own decisions 
It was only a matter of time 
Sometimes I look back in anger 
Thinking about all the pain 
But I know that I'm stronger without you 
And that I'll never need you again 

When the heartache is over 
I know I won't be missing you (missing you) 
Won't look over my shoulder 
'Cause I know that I can live without you 
Oh live without you 
Oh I can live without you 

When the heartache is over 
I know I won't be missing you 
Won't look over my shoulder 
'Cause I know that I can live without you 
When the heartache is over 
I know I won't be missing you (missing you) 
Won't look over my shoulder 
'Cause I know that I can live without you 
Yeah I can live without you 

Live without you 



11: You're the First, the Last, My Everything (Barry White) 
-----------------------------------------------------------
We got it together, didn't we?
Nobody but you and me. 
We got it together, baby. 

My first, my last, my everything, 
And the answer to all my dreams. 
You're my sun, my moon, my guiding star. 
My kind of wonderful, that's what you are. 

I know there's only, only one like you 
There's no way they could have made two. 
You're, you're all I'm living for 
Your love I'll keep for evermore. 
You're the first, my last, my everything. 

In you I've found so many things, 
A love so new, only you could bring. 
Can't you see if you, 
You'll make me feel this way, 
You're like a first morning dew on a brand new day. 

I see so many ways that I can love you, 
'Till the day I die.... 
You're my reality, yet I'm lost in a dream. 
You're my first, my last, my everything. 

{instrumental} 

I know there's only one, only one like you 
There's no way they could have made two. 
Girl, you're my reality. 
But I'm lost in a dream, 
You're the first, you're the last, my everything.

13: Alone Again (Naturally) (Vonda Shepard)
Words and Music by Raymond O'Sullivan
-------------------------------------
In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top will throw myself off
In an effort to make it clear to whoever
What it's like when you're shattered
Left standing in the lurch at a church
Where people saying: "My God, that's tough"
"She stood him up"
"No point in us remaining"
"We may as well go home"
As I did on my own
Alone again, naturally

To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to, who wouldn't do? 
The role I was about to play?
But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much as a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about God in His mercy
Who, if He really does exist,
Why did He desert me? 
In my hour of need
I truly am indeed
Alone again, naturally

It seems to me that there are more hearts
Broken in the world that can't be mended
Left unattended
What do we do? What do we do?

(instrumental interlude)

Alone again, naturally

Looking back over the years
And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul
Couldn't understand why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally 
Alone again, naturally  



14: Can We Still Be Friends (Vonda Shepard)
-------------------------------------------
We can't play this game anymore
But can we still be friends
Things just can't go on like before
But can we still be friends
We had something to learn
Now it's time for the wheel to turn
Grains of sand, one by one
Before you know it, all gone

Let's admit we made a mistake
But can we still be friends
Heartbreak's never easy to take
But can we still be friends
It's a strange, sad affair
Sometimes seems like we just don't care
Don't waste time feeling hurt
We've been through hell together



15: It's Not Unusual (Tom Jones)
--------------------------------
It's not unusual to be loved by anyone
It's not unusual to have fun with anyone
but when I see you hanging about with anyone
It's not unusual to see me cry,
oh I wanna' die
It's not unusual to go out at any time
but when I see you out and about it's such a crime
if you should ever want to be loved by anyone,
It's not unusual it happens every day no matter what you say
you find it happens all the time
love will never do what you want it to
why can't this crazy love be mine
It's not unusual, to be mad with anyone
It's not unusual, to be sad with anyone
but if I ever find that you've changed at anytime
it's not unusual to find out that I'm in love with you
whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh



16: Boom Boom (Chayanne)
------------------------
Boom boom
Pon a gozar tu cuerpo con el boom
Boom boom pon a gozar tu cuerpo
Boom boom
Pon a gozar tu cuerpo con el boom
Boom boom on a gozar tu cuerpo

Libera tu energía
Las cosas malas fuera de tu vida
Que suenen las campanas
Que a cada día hay que ponerle ganas

Mezcla el sabor, con gotas de sol y
Bate fuerte que la noche es mágica
Fuego y pasión a todo color
Arriba los sentidos y baila, baila, baila

(Chorus)

Desata el movimiento
Que tu lo sientas al compas del tiempo
Que el boom de tus latidos
Con esta fuerza estén a un solo ritmo

Mezcla el sabor con notas de son y
Bate fuerte que la noche es mágica
Fuego y pasión a todo color
Arriba los sentidos y baila, baila, baila

(Chorus)

Boom boom
Arrímate, despr´rndete
Boom boom
Y suelta el cuerpo

El boom de tu latido que tenga un solo ritmo
Ven a bailar conmigo
El boom de tu cadera, ay
El boom de tu cadera
El boom de tu cadera, ay
El boom de tu cadera

(Chorus)
