ABOUT Shirley's 1970 LP, 'Something' & Song:
Something is a 1970 album by Shirley Bassey. With her career having been in decline since the latter part of the mid 1960s, Something proved to be Shirley Bassey's comeback when it was released in August 1970. The title track single became her biggest UK hit for many years, reaching No.4 and spending 22 weeks on the chart. This was actually the second single featured on the album, "The Sea and Sand" having already been released earlier. The album was similarly her biggest hit for many years in the album charts, reaching No.5 and spending 28 weeks in the top 50.


ABOUT the song, 'SOMETHING':
"Something" is a song released by The Beatles in 1969. It was featured on the album Abbey Road, and was also the first song written by George Harrison to appear on the A-side of a Beatles single. It was one of the first Beatles singles to contain tracks already available on a long playing (LP) album, with both "Something" and "Come Together" having appeared on Abbey Road. "Something" was the only Harrison composition to top the American charts while he was in the Beatles.

John Lennon and Paul McCartney—the two principal songwriting members of the band—both praised "Something" as among the best songs Harrison had written. As well as critical acclaim, the single achieved commercial success, topping the Billboard charts in the United States, and entering the top 10 in the United Kingdom. The song has been covered by over 150 artists including Dame Shirley Bassey, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, James Brown, Julio Iglesias, Smokey Robinson, Eric Clapton and Joe Cocker, and is the second-most covered Beatles song after "Yesterday".[


LYRICS:
Something in the way he moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way he moves me
I don't want to leave him now
You know I believe in how
Somewhere in his smile he knows
That I don't need no other lover
Something in his style that shows me
Don't want to leave him now
You know I believe in how
You're asking me will our love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around now it may show
I don't know, I don't know
Something in the way he moves
And all I have to do is think of him
Something in the things he shows me
I don't want to leave him now
You know I believe in how
You're asking me will our love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around now it may show
I don't know, I don't know
Something in the way he moves
Something in the way he knows
Something in the way he smiles
Something in the way he moves
Something in the way he smiles
Something

LYRICS - Nobody Does It Like Me:
If there's a wrong way to say it,
and a wrong way to play it.
Nobody does it like me!

If there's a wrong way to do it,
A right way to screw it up!
Nobody does it like me!

I've got a big loud mouth,
I'm always talking much too free.
If you go for tact and manners,
better stay away from me!

If there's a wrong way to keep it cool,
a right way to be a fool,
Nobody does it like me!

I hear a love song or ballad,
I toss like a salad.
Nobody tosses like me!

And when my evenings get tougher,
I just take two bufferin'
And drink a hot cup of tea!

Last night I met an old acquaintance
at a fancy corner pub,
He said 'come on let's have some supper,'
then he used my credit-club!

If there's a wrong way take a guy
the worst way to make a guy!
Nobody does it like me!

If there's a wrong bell I ring it.
A wrong note I sing it!
Nobody does it like me!

If there's a problem I duck it.
I don't solve it I just muck it up!
Nobody does it like me!

And so I try to be a lady,
I'm no lady I'm a fraud!
And when I talk like I'm a lady,
What I sound like is a broad!

If there's a wrong way to get a guy,
the right way to lose a guy!
Nobody does it like me!

Nobody does it NO!
Nobody does it,
Nobody does it like me.

Nobody does it like me!
