THE TEMPTATIONS - GET READY
I never met a girl who makes me feel the way that you do
(You're alright)
Whenever I'm asked who makes my dreams real, I say that you do
(You're outta sight)
So fee fi, fo fum
Look out baby, 'cause here I come
Chorus:
And I'm bringing you a love that's true
So get ready, so get ready
I'm gonna try to make you love me too
So get ready, so get ready, 'cause here I come
(Get ready, 'cause here I come)
I'm on my way
(Get ready, 'cause here I come)
If you wanna play hide and seek with love, let me remind you
(It's alright)
Lovin' you're gonna miss, and the time it takes to find you
(It's outta sight)
So fiddley dee, fiddley dum
Look out baby, 'cause here I come
Chorus
(Get ready)
All my friends should want you too, I understand it
(Be alright)
I hope I get to you before they do, the way I planned it
(Be outta sight)
So twiddley dee, twiddley dum
Look out baby 'cause here I come

You, the people of this land,
you’ve got to try to understand.
Open up your mind and soul.
Let your heart be your goal.
Doo…
You see, I do want to be
a part of you and a part of me.
That’s the means to equality.
That’s the real Magic Key.
Doo…
In this land, there has to be
enough room for you and me
to laugh and talk, to understand,
to give each other a helping hand.

Born in a log cabin in the back woods
The back woods of Mississippi
She drank moonshine, chewed tobacco
Raised 13 children all by herself
Never looked much like a lady
You see she was too busy providin' to raisin' her babies
Spend her evenings sitting in a rockin' chair
Never had much o' nothin but was always willin' to share
Talking 'bout ma ,talkin' 'bout ma
Yeah, yeah, yeah, talking 'bout my ma
Talkin' 'bout ma
Every once in awhile when ma would get depressed
She'd go to the cabinet and get paw's guitar
Sit herself down in the rockin' chair
Start strummin' and hummin', ha ha, yeah
That was ma's way of lettin' off steam
In plan old English you could see
That ma was doin' her thing
Every once in awhile she'd shout, "Let it all hang out"
Oow talkin' 'bout ma, talking 'bout ma
Yeah, yeah, yeah, talking 'bout ma

Rain is falling on my head,
pretty soon I might be dead.
The end is here, Lord, it's plain to see
I guess my country's made a fool of me.
Chorus:
If I die, please make sure,
Someone will bring me home.
If I die, tomorrow,
Someone will be all alone.
Family's children standin' by,
Mother finds it hard not to cry.
A look of sadness on their face,
Tryin' hard not to show a trace.
Chorus
One last question before I go,
One last answer I must know.
Tomorrow morning I'll be alone,
Can you tell me why I can't be home?
Chorus
Chorus
I don't wanna die, but if I die...

There's nothin' you can do girl, there's nothin' you can say
You talkin' to the sky babe, I just got to get away, yeah
Got to hear the wind song singin' in my ear
Got to get it on girl and I'll never make it here, yeah
'Cause the wind was my mother, the highway is my brother
I was born to wander and it's time for movin' on
I was born to wander turn around and I'll be gone, gone, gone
I'm just followin' my heart girl, and it's followin' the sun
Lookin' for an answer, I know may never come
But I got to chase my dreams girl like a river to the sea
Got to find the rainbow that's waitin' there for me
'Cause the wind was my mother, the highway is my brother
I was born to wander and it's time for movin' on
I was born to wander turn around and I'll be gone, gone, gone, gone
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Yeah, gonna move, yeah
Yeah, I was born to wander
I said, I was born to wander
Yeah, born, born to wander
Born to wander, born to wander
Born to wander, born to wander
Born to wander, born to wander

Come to me baby, I got something to say
I been changin' your direction ev'ry step of the way
Now I bring emotion and I bring desire
And I bring the potion to set you on fire
I know you need me, there can be no doubt
You got me held inside your love and I can't get out
We must surrender to the powers that be
The angel in you and the devil in me
Warm ride , warm ride , baby just the way you are
Warm ride , warm ride , we can reach the highest star
Now I warn you women, we are two of a kind
And we both know what's coming
We got one thing in mind
I bring the pleasure , satisfaction you learn
And I got the strength to make you burn, baby, burn
Warm ride , warm ride , baby just the way you are
Warm ride , warm ride , we can reach the highest star
Why are we waiting for this love on the rise
And why am I searching for the magic that's in your
eyes
We must surrender to the powers that be
The angel in you and the devil in me
Warm ride, warm ride , baby just the way you are
Warm ride, warm ride , we can reach the highest star
(break)
Warm ride , warm ride , baby just the way you are
Warm ride , warm ride , we can reach the highest star

I was born in a dump
My mama died, my daddy got drunk
He left me here to die or grow
In the middle of Tobacco Road
I grew up in a rusty shack
All I owned was a'hangin' on my back
The Lord knows how I love
This place called Tobacco Road
But it's home, it's really my home
The only life I've ever known
For the Lord, the Lord knows I love
Tobacco Road
I'm gonna leave and get a job
With the help and the grace of God
I'll save my money, get rich I know
Bring it back to Tobacco Road
I gonna get me some dynamite
Gonna bring me a crane
Got to blow you up, got to tear you down
And start all over again
But I'll build a town, I'll be proud to show
Keep the name of Tobacco Road
'Cause it's home
The only life I've ever known
I despise because you're filthy
But I love you, 'cause you're my home
Tobacco Road
Tobacco Road
You're dirty and filthy
Tobacco Road
Gonna get me some dynamite
Gonna bring me a crane
Got to blow you up, got to tear you down
And start all over again
Tobacco Road
Tobacco Road
I despise, I despise you 'cause you're filthy
But I love you, because you're my home
Tobacco Road, Road
Talkin' 'bout a dirty, low down, filthy place
Tobacco Road, yeah

Smiling faces sometimes pretend to be your friend
Smiling faces show no traces of the evil that lurks
within
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth uh
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
The truth is in the eyes
Cause the eyes don't lie, amen
Remember a smile is just
A frown turned upside down
My friend let me tell you
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth, uh
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
Beware, beware of the handshake
That hides the snake
I'm telling you beware
Beware of the pat on the back
It just might hold you back
Jealousy (jealousy)
Misery (misery)
Envy
I tell you, you can't see behind smiling faces
Smiling faces sometimes they don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
(Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes)
(Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes)
I'm telling you beware, beware of the handshake
That hides the snake
Listen to me now, beware
Beware of that pat on the back
It just might hold you back
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
Your enemy won't do you no harm
Cause you'll know where he's coming from
Don't let the handshake and the smile fool ya

Hey big brother, as soon as you arrive
You better, get in touch with the people, big brother
Better get them on your side, big brother
And keep them satisfied
Welcome to the beat of the city street
Walk on now and don't be shy
Take a closer look at the people you meet
And notice the fear in their eyes
watching the time passing by.....
Hey big brother, as soon as you arrive
You better, get in touch with the people, big brother
Better keep them on your side, big brother
Keep them satisfied
Focus your eye on the filthy sky
Just as far as you can see
Everybody's getting kinda tired of waiting
Cause nobody wants to cry
And nobody wants to die....
Hey big brother, as soon as you arrive
You better, get in touch with the people, big brother
And get them on your side, big brother
And keep them satisfied
Now that you've got the picture
What you going to do?
Now that you've got the picture
What you going to do?
(instrumental solos)
(speaking)
Hey big brother, I know you're out there somewhere
If we don't get our thing together, big brother will be watching us
He ain't gonna get me, are you gonna let him get you?
He'll never get me, he'll never get me, no
Big brother's coming
No he'll never get me, no no no no...
Hey big brother
Hey big brother
Hey big brother...
(repeat until the end)
Rick Jacobson

I'll be alright in the morning
When I get myself back home
I been gone such a long long time
Gettin' weary bein' on my own
I just got to get myself back home
Back to the place I know I once belonged
Well I been workin', I'm a river man
Drivin' down the mighty river bed
An' after thirty-six days on a ? ? barge
You know a body gets in need of a friend
I just got to get myself back home
Back to the place I know I once belonged
My body's achin' and the sun's on my back
And the captain's really bringing me down
My woman, she wrote, said she needs me tonight
And I'm hopin' we won't be long
Well I just got to get myself back home, back home
You know I got to get back to the place I once belonged
Heyya I've got to get back
I just got to get myself back home
Back to the place I know I once belonged
I know I once belonged
I just got to get myself back home
I wanna get home

Seems I've got to
have a change of scene
Every night I have the strangest dreams
Imprisoned by the way
that it could have been
Left you on my own
Or so it seems I've got to get away
before I start to scream
Cause someone locked the door
and took the key
Feeling alright?
I'm not feeling too good myself (2x)
Boy you sure took me for one big ride
And even now I sit and I wonder why
That when I think of you I start to cry
I just can't waste my time
I must keep dry
Gotta stop believing in all your lies
Cause there's too much to do
before I die
Feeling alright?
I'm not feeling too good myself (2x)
Don't you get too lost in all I say
At the time I really felt that way
But that was then, yeah
Now it's today
I can't get up and so I'm here to stay
Till someone comes along
and takes my place with a different
name and a different face
Feeling alright?

Your love is fadin', I feel it fade
Ah, your love is fadin', I feel it fade
Ah, your love is fadin', woman I feel it fade
Ah, woman, woman your touch, your touch has gone cold
As if someone else controls your very soul
I've fooled myself long as I can
Can feel the presence of another man
It's there when you speak my name
It's just not the same
Ooo babe, I'm losing you
It's in the air
It's there everywhere
Baby, baby, babe, I'm losing you
When I look into your eyes
A reflection of a face, I see
I'm hurt, down-hearted and worried, girl
'Cause that face doesn't belong to me
It's all over your face
Someone's takin' my place
Ooo baby, I'm losing you
You try hard to hide
The emptiness you feel inside
Oo babe, I'm losing you
I can't bear the thought of losing you
Ah woman, can't you see what I'm goin' through
I'm losin' my mind (losin' my mind)
And it's all because of you
I can't bear the thought of losing you
I'm losin' my mind (losin' my mind)
And it's all because of you
