When you walk through a storm,
Hold your head up high,
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of the storm,
Is the golden sky,
And the sweet silver song of the lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Though your dreams be tossed and blown,
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk alone,
If you should lose me, (oh yeah)you'll lose a good thing?
If you should lose me,(oh yeah) you'll lose a good thing?
You know I love you,do anything for you
Just don't mistreat me, and I'll be good to you
Cause if you should lose me,you'll lose a good thing?
I'm givin' you one more chance, for you to do right
If you'll only straighten up, you'd have a good life.
But if you should lose me, you'll lose a good thing?
This is my last time not asking anymore, if you don't do right,
I'm gonna march outta that door,
And if you don't believe me, just try it daddy
And you'll lose a good thing.
Just try daddy, and you'll lose a good thing
Just try daddy, and you'll lose a good thing
Just try it daddy, and you'll lose a good thing
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song,
As we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
We'll say: No man,
But you can do the job
When you're in town.
Later on, we'll conspire,
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid,
The plans that we've made,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman,
Until the other kiddies knock him down.
When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Walking in a winter wonderland,
While the blood is running warm in your veins,
while the blood is running oh so warm in your veins,
You had better get religion, you betta try, try and serve the Lord,
While the blood, the blood is running warm in your veins
Mmmmm now don't forget about your savoir while traveling thru this ole sinful land, for he always willing to help you and he'll lend you a helping hand, for he bore, he bore the pain of death oooh while he rocked you oh yes he did upon his breast....hey, while the blood. while the blood is running warm so warm in your vein
What a difference a day made
Twenty four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain
My yesterday was blue dear
Today I'm a part of you dear
My lonely nights are through dear
Since you said you were mine
What a difference a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above they might be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss
It's heaven when you
Find romance on your menu
What a difference a day makes
And the difference is you
What a difference a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss
It's heaven when you
Find romance on your menu
What a difference a day makes
And the difference is you
What a difference a day made
Twenty four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain
It's heaven when you
Find romance on your menu
What a difference a day makes
I would like to see a show of hands
Nothin' concealed, roll up your sleeve
Nothin' up my [Incomprehensible] except my heart
And I believe we've come apart
I would like to see you play your cards
Reveal your hands and show your heart
Maybe we could get it back
With truth and honesty that's what we need to hold on
To the good stuff we believe in
Before we land up loose and sad and free
Before we find that it's gone
We could pull it back together, truth and honesty
Open up your hands, show me your heart
Let's stay up till dawn and talk it out
Nothin' concealed, no alibi, retunin' to light
Before we start, then all we do is fall apart
If I can see the sunlight in your eyes
Then maybe we all could shine, yeah
Maybe we could get it back, oh baby, yeah baby
Oh, truth and honesty that is what we need to hold on
To the good stuff we believe in
Before we land up loose, sad and free
Before we find out all that is gone
We could pull it back together with truth and honesty, oh
Open up your hands, show me your heart
Truth and honesty, oh, that's what we need to hold on
To the good stuff we believe in
Before we land up loose and sad and free
Before we find out that it's gone
We could pull it back together, truth and honesty
Truth and honesty, you know what we need, sure enough within
To the good stuff, the good stuff baby
You got to be real, you got to be real, you got to be sugar
Amen
This little light of mine,
I'm going to let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I'm going to let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I'm going to let it shine,
let it shine, let it shine
to show my love
everywhere I go, Im gonna let it shine (3x)
I let it shine to show my love
even in my home, I'm gonna let is shine
I let is shine to show my love
when I see my neighbor coming
I'm gonna let it shine
The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone away
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away
You know you done me wrong baby
And you'll be sorry someday
The thrill is gone
It's gone away from me
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away from me
Although I'll still live on
But so lonely I'll be
The thrill is gone
It's gone away for good
Oh, the thrill is gone baby
Baby its gone away for good
Someday I know I'll be over it all baby
Just like I know a man should
You know I'm free, free now baby
I'm free from your spell
I'm free, free now
I'm free from your spell
And now that it's over
(Shoo)
Many say
that I'm too young
to let you know just where I'm coming from.
But you will see
it's just a matter of time
my love surely make you mine
Well, I'm
Livin in a world of ghetto life
Everyone Seems is so uptight
Nothin's wrong, it's alright, my man
I like the way we carry on
His love will send me on and on
with my man
People out there can you understand
I'm givin him somethin he can feel
to let him know this love is real
This love is real
So much joy for us it seems
So much hope for material things
Are they only in my dreams?
(hey, oh yeah)
And that's exactly why I'm singing this song to you
To let you know that real dreams do come true.
You tell me 'what does it mean'
Many say
that I'm too young
to let you know just where I'm coming from.
But you will see
it's just a matter of time
my love surely make you mine
I'm givin him somethin he can feel
to let him know this love is real
This love is real
I'm givin him somethin he can feel
to let him know this love is real
This is my life and it's my right to live
The way I want to live each day
That's what I wanna say
And this is my song
And for too long I sang someone else's melody
It wasn't really me
Somehow I took myself for granted
In someone else's eyes
I saw reflections of a girl I was who caught me by surprise
Seein' a woman who's defined by you, I never realized
I can't love you, I can't love me through someone else's eyes
You were the sun, I was the one who just
Revolved around you day and night
You were my only life but if I were free
Baby, I'd take control of everything inside of me
Find who I wanna be
I'd never take myself for granted
In someone else's eyes
I saw reflections of a girl I was who caught me by surprise
Seein' a woman who's defined by you, I never realized
I can't love you, I can't love me in someone else's eyes
I gotta show myself I can still exist without a man
Gotta finally take control, gotta see myself as whole with you
Though you're not the one to blame, I was lost inside your name
And I'll never be the same till I find a way back home again
In someone else's eyes
I saw reflections of a girl I was who caught me by surprise
Seein' a woman who's defined by you, I never realized
When I, I can't, I and I will not, you can't make me
Ooh, someone else's eyes, ooh, baby, baby, baby
Till I find a way back home again
Through someone else's eyes
I saw reflections of a girl I was, hey, caught me by surprise
Seein' a woman who's defined by you, I never realized
I can't love you, I can't love you through someone else's eyes, ooh
Someone else's eyes, no baby, ooh
Someone else's eyes, can't do it, I can't do it
I, I love you, sweet baby, I wanna be with you, baby
Through someones else's eyes, ooh
Someone else's eyes, oh, baby
Oh yeah, someone else's eyes
I wanna be by your side
So long I hope we'll meet again
One day
And I'm hoping maybe then you'll say
Darling I found out I was wrong
So long
You leave me here to cry
It will never be goodbye
Because you been mine so long
All alone
With my memories of you
I can dream that you're lonely like me too
You're my home
Even though we're far apart
I'm gonna keep you in my heart
So long, so long baby
Gee, I really hate to see you go
Because you are all and everything in my world and you know
That you been mine all mine so long
Skylark, have you anything to say to me
Won't you tell me where my love can be
Is there a meadow in the mist
Where someone's waiting to be kissed
Skylark
Have you seen a valley green
Whispering
Where my heart can go a journeying
Over the shadows in the rain
To a blossomed covered lane
In your lonely flight
Oh haven't you heard
Music in the night
Wonderful music
Faint as the willow of the wisp
Crazy as a loon
Sad as a gypsy
Serenading the moon
Skylark
Oh I don't know if you can find these things
Oh if but my heart, my heart is riding on your wings
So if you see them anywhere
Won't you lead
I've been all across the country
And I've stayed in every town
Because I'm trying to find my baby
But no one has seen her around
And you know which way I'm headed
If my baby can't be found
I spoke to the river
And the river spoke back to me
It said oh you look so lonely
So you look full of misery
And if you can't find your baby
Come and make your home with me
Well, I don't want to leave him
Because I know he's still alive
And someday I'm going to find him
And I'll take him for a ride
And we'll spend our days forever
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
(Just try)
Take a little time out of your busy day
To give encouragement
To someone who's lost the way
(Just try)
Or would I be talking to a stone
If I asked you
To share a problem that's not your own
We can change things if we start giving
Why don't you
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
(Just try)
If you see an old friend on the street
And he's down
Remember his shoes could fit your feet
(Just try)
Try a little kindness you'll see
It's something that comes very naturally
We can change things if we start giving
Why don't you
Reach out and touch
Why don't you (Why don't you)
Reach out and touch somebody's hand
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
Precious memories, how they linger
How they ever flood my soul
In the stillness of the midnight
Precious, sacred scenes unfold.
Precious father, loving mother
Fly across the lonely years
And old home scenes of my childhood
In fond memory appear.
In the stillness of the midnight
Echoes from the past I hear
Old-time singing, gladness bringing
From that lovely land somewhere.
As I travel on life's pathway
Know not what the years may hold
As I ponder, hope grows fonder
I'm only one step ahead of heartbreak
one step ahead of misery
one step is all I have to take
backwards, to be the same old fool for you
I used to be
I'm only one step ahead of your arms
one kiss away from your sweet lips
I know I can't afford to stop for one moment
Cos I'm just out of reach of your fingertips
Your warm breath on my shoulder
Keeps reminding me
That it's too soon to forget you
It's too late to be free, can't you see?
I'm only one step ahead of your love
I try and yet I can't take two
Seems like I'll have to take that one step backwards
Cos one step ahead is a step too far away from you.
Cos one step ahead is a step too far away from you.
Once in A Lifetime
by Aretha Franklin
Just once in a lifetime
A man knows a moment
One wonderful moment
When fate takes his hand
And this is my moment
My once in a lifetime
When I can explore a new and exciting land
For once in my lifetime
I feel like a giant
I soar like an eagle
As though I had wings
For this is my moment
My destiny calls me
And though it may be just once in my lifetime
When the evenin' sun goes down
You will find me hangin' 'round
Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life
But it's my life
Many people just like me
Dreamin' of old used-to-be's
Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life
Ah, but it's my life
Listen to the blues that they're playin'
Listen what the blues are sayin'
Life is just another scene
In this old world of broken dreams
Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life
But it's my life
Oh, the night life ain't no good life
Oh, but it's my life
Just let me love you tonight
Forget about tomorrow
My darling, won't you
hold me tight
And never let me go
Dry your eyes
No tears, no sorrow
Cling to me with all your might
And never let me go
A million times or more
We said we'd never part
But lately I find
You're a stranger,
stranger in my heart
Give me the right
In summer or in spring time
To tell the world you are mine
And you will never let me go
Look out for me oh muddy water your mysteries are deep and wide
And I got a need for going some place
And I got a need to climb upon your back and ride
Look for me when you see me comin' I may be runnin' I don't know
I may be tired and runnin' fever but I'll be headed south to the mouth of the Ohio
So look out for me oh muddy water...
[ sax ]
Well I been down to the pain and sorrow I thought no tomorrow's comin' in
So I put my pole to the river bottom
And I've got to hide some place and find myself again
Look out for me oh muddy water...
Oh yeah, hoo
Mr.Bigstuff, who do u think u are?
Mr.Bigstuff, you're never gonna get my love
Not because you wear
All those fancy clothes (oh yeah)
And have a big fine car
Oh yes you do now
Do you think I can't afford
To give you my love (oh yeah)
You think you're higher,
Than every star above
Mr.Bigstuff, who do you think you are?
Mr.Bigstuff, you're never gonna get my love
Now I know all the girls
I've seen you with
I know you broke their hearts
And ate them up bit by bit
You made them cry,
Many poor girls cry
When they trying to keep you happy,
They just trying ta keep you satisfied
Mr. Bigstuff,(tell me tell me), who do you think you are?
Mr.Bigstuff, you're never gonna get my love
I'd rather give my love
To a poor guy that has a love that is true
(Oh yeah)
Then to be fooled by,
And get hurt by you
Cause when I give my love,
I want love in return (oh yeah)
Now I know this is a lesson
Mr.Bigstuff you haven't learned
Mr.Bigstuff, tell me, who do you think you are?
Mr.Bigstuff, you're never gonna get my love
Mr.Bigstuff, you're never gonna break my heart
Mr.Bigstuff, you're never gonna make me cry
love and you love
We love
Sweet love
I look and you look
And we found sweet love
And now we know
Love is the only thing
That matters at all
After all
I kiss and you kiss
Each kiss sweet lips
I tease and you squeeze
And we find sweet bliss
That's how we know
Love is the only thing
That matters at all
After all
I'm lucky
And you're lucky too
We're lucky
And we know it's true
Love is so wonderful
I give and you give
We live for love
Each night
Each day
We love sweet love
Cause ain't it so?
Love is the only thing
That matters at all
After all
Love is the only thing
That matters at all
It was you
You made me love you
It was you
You made me need you
Darling darling

You made me love you
Yes you did
Yes you did
Hey baby hey baby
It was you who made me love you
Hey baby
Darling
It was you
People all around me
But I don't even have a friend
Lord knows I been trying
And he knows I just can't win
Everything I do yeah
Seems to turn out wrong
Sometimes I wish now
That I never been born, whoa
Nobody nobody cares
Nobody cares baby
You know I've had my share
Just ain't fair, (Just ain't fair)
Just ain't fair, (Just ain't fair)
Some folks got it easy
They live the life of love and play
Lord knows I got to struggle now
Trying to make my way, yeah
I'm walking all day
I'm gonna reach the town
I believe I hope I can make it yeah
Beacuse my feet ain't gonna let me stop
Talking about Jesus
Nobody nobody cares
Nobody cares
Baby I've had my share
Just ain't fair
Just ain't fair
It just ain't fair
It just ain't fair
It just ain't fair
If you gotta make a fool of somebody
If you gotta make a fool of someone
Do you really have to hurt me
I'm the one that'll worry about you
If you gotta make a fool of somebody
If you gotta to make a fool of someone
Do you really have to hurt me
I'm the one that loves you, always true
Daytime, nighttime, anytime you call
I'll rush to your side, anytime you call
Just to be near you, you know
Anywhere I go, how could you hurt me so
If you gotta make a fool of somebody
If you gotta make a fool of someone
Do you really have to hurt me
I'm the one that'll worry about you
If you gotta make a fool of somebody
If you gotta make a fool of someone
If you gotta make a fool of somebody
And If you gotta make a fool of someone
If you got to make a fool of somebody
I say I'll move the mountains
And I'll move the mountains
If he wants them out of the way
Crazy he calls me
Sure, I'm crazy
Crazy in love, I say
I say I'll go through fire
And I'll go through fire
As he wants it, so it will be
Crazy he calls me
Sure, I'm crazy
Crazy in love, you see
Like the wind that shakes the bough
He moves me with a smile
The difficult I'll do right now
The impossible will take a little while
I say I'll care forever
And I mean forever
If I have to hold up the sky
Crazy he calls me
Sure, I'm crazy
If I should lose you
The stars would fall from the skies
If I should lose you
The leaves would wither and die
The birds in maytime
Would sing a lonely refrain
And I would wander around
Hating the sound of rain
With you beside me
No wind in winter would blow
With you beside me
A rose would bloom in the snow
I gave you my love
But I was living a dream
And living would seem in vain
I'm sitting on top of the world
Just rolling along, Just rolling along
I'm quitting the blues of the world
Just singing a song, just singing a song
"Glory Hallelujah," I just phoned the Parson
"Hey, Par get ready to call"
Just like Humpty Dumpty, I'm going to fall
I'm sitting on top of the world
Just rolling along, Just rolling along
I'm sitting on top of the world
Just rolling along, just rolling along
I'm quitting the blues of the world
Just singing a song, just singing a song
"Glory Hallelujah," I just phoned the Parson
"Hey, Par get ready to call"
Just like Humpty Dumpty, I'm going to fall
I wish I didn't love you so, my love for you should have faded long ago.
I wish I didn't need your kiss, why must your kiss torture me as long as this.
I might be smiling by now with some new tender friend,
Smiling by now with my heart on the mend,
But when I try, something in my heart says no.

How I got over
How did I make it over
You know my soul look back and wonder
How did I make it over
How I made it over
Going on over all these years
You know my soul look back and wonder
How did I make it over
Tell Me how we got over 'LORD'
Had a mighty hard time coming on over
You know my soul look back and wonder
How did we make it over
Tell me how we got over 'LORD'
I've been falling and rising all these years
But you know my soul look back and wonder
How did I make it over
But, soon as I can see JESUS
The man that died for me
Man that bled and suffered
and he hung on Calvary
And I want to thank him for how he brought me
And I want to thank GOD for how he taught me
Oh thank my GOD how he kept me
I'm gonna thank him 'cause he never left me
Then I'm gonna thank GOD for 'ole time religion
and I'm gonna thank GOD for giving me a vision
One day I'm gonna join the heavenly choir
I'm gonna sing and never get tired
And then I'm gonna sing somewhere 'round GODS alter
And I'm gonna shout all my troubles over
You know I've gotta thank GOD and thank him for being
so good to me. 'LORD YEAH'
How I made it over 'LORD' I had to cry in the midnight hour
coming on over, but you know my soul look back and wonder
How did I make it over
Tell me how I made it over 'LORD GOD LORD'
Falling and rising all these years
you know my soul look back and wonder
How did I make it over
I'm gonna wear a diamond garment
In that new Jerusalem, I'm gonna walk the streets of gold
It's the homeland of the soul
I'm gonna view the host in white
They've been traveling day and night
Coming up from every nation
They're on their way to the great Cognation
Coming from the north, south, east, and west
On their way to a land of rest
and their gonna join the heavenly choir
You know we're gonna sing and never get tired
and then we're gonna sing somewere 'round GODS alter
and then we're gonna shout all our troubles over
You know we gotta thank GOD and thank him for being
so good to me
You know I come to thank GOD this evening, I come to
thank him this evening, You know all night long
GOD kept his angels watching over me
and early this morning, early this morning
GOD told his angel GOD said 'touch her in my name'
God said 'touch her in my name'
I 'rose this morning, I 'rose this morning
I 'rose this morning, I feel like shouting
I feel like shouting, I feel like shouting
I feel like shouting, I feel like shouting
I feel like shouting, I feel like shouting
I just gotta thank GOD, I just gotta thank GOD
I just gotta thank GOD, I just gotta thank him
Darling you send me. I know you send me
Honest you do [3x]
You thrill me, I know you thrill me
Darling you thrill me
Honest you do
Honest you do
Honest you do
At first I thought it was infatuation
But it lasted so long
Now I find myself wanting
to marry you and take you home
You Send Me [3x]
Honest you do
Whenever I'm with you
Whenever I'm near you
Honest you do
I know when you hold me,
whenever you kiss me

Groovin' . . . on a Sunday afternoon
Really couldn't get away too soon
I can't imagine anything that's better
The world is ours whenever we're together
There ain't a place I'd like to be instead of . . .
Groovin' . . . down a crowded avenue
Doin' anything we like to do
There's always lots of things that we can see
We can be anyone we want to be
And all those happy people we could meet just . . .
Groovin' . . . on a Sunday afternoon
Really couldn't get away too soon
Ah-ha-ha
Ah-ha-ha
Ah-ha-ha
We'll keep on spending sunny days this way
We're gonna talk and laugh our time away
I feel it comin' closer day by day
Life would be ecstasy, you and me endlessly . . .
Groovin' . . . on a Sunday afternoon
Really couldn't get away too soon
Ah-ha-ha

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil:
for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil;
my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

For all we know
We may never meet again
Before we go
Make this moment live again
We won't say goodbye
Until the last minute
I'll hold out my hand
And my heart will be in it
For all we know
This might only be a dream
We come and we go
Like the ripples, like the ripples in the stream
So baby, love me, love me tonight
Tomorrow was made for some
Oh, but tomorrow
But tomorrow may never, never come
For all we know
Yes, tomorrow may never, never come
It's in the way you say my name
Though I hear your voice, it's not the same
And in your eyes, I can't help but see a much different light
Than there used to be
You say hello and I want to die
'Cause deep down I know that it means goodbye
I can't let go, I just keep hanging on
Though you're standing there, you're as good as gone
Though you're standing there, you're good as gone
Are you falling out of love?
Baby, have you had a change of heart?
Are you falling out of love?
Tell me, is there someone new that you're dreaming of
Are you falling out of love?
Your funny smile was all it took
And you said it all with just a look
Now I sit here and you sit there
We just talk and talk but we get nowhere
All we do is talk and get nowhere
Are you falling out of love?
Oh baby, have you had a change of heart?
Are you falling out of love?
Tell me, is there someone new that you're dreaming of
Are you falling out of love?
Are you falling out of love?
Oh baby, have you had a change of heart?
Are you falling out of love?
Tell me, tell me, is there someone new that you're dreaming of
Are you falling out of love?
I don’t want no body
Always sitting around me and my man.
I don’t want no body
Always sitting right there
Looking at me and that man
Be it my mother, my brother, or my sister
Would you believe? I’ll get up, put on some clothes,
Go out and help them find somebody for themselves
If I can. Yes I will.
Now I don’t mind company
Because company’s alright with me every once and a while
Yes it is.
I tell you I don’t mind company
Because company’s alright with me every once in a while, yeah.
But oh, when me and that man get to loving
I tell you girls I dig you, but I just don’t have time
To sit and chit and sit and chit chat and smile.
Don’t send me no doctor
Filling me up with all of those pills
I got me a man named ‘Dr. Feelgood’
And oh, yeah that man takes care of all my pains and my ills.
His name is Dr. Feelgood in the morning.
Taking care of business is really this man’s game.
And after one visit to Dr. Feelgood
You’d understand why Feelgood is his name
Oh yeah, oh good God Almighty the man sure makes me feel real
Goooooooooooooooooooood!!!!!!
Mood
Oh come back, baby
Oh mama please don't go, yeah
Cause the way I love you

Let's talk it over one more time
Baby, baby, baby, this is just to say
How much I'm gonna miss ya
But, believe while I'm away, that i didn't mean to hurt you. Don't you know that I'd rather hurt myself.
b/g-
I'd hurt myself
baby, baby, baby, think of me sometimes because if loving you was so wrong, then, I'm guilty of this crime.I'm bewildered,I'm lonely and I'm loveless without you to hold my hand. If you'd just understand
Bridge
Those that we love foolishly make cry then sometimes feel as bad, we say goodbye. But more than some can't be denied how, how I've loved in my life. Oh, Oh, Oh
Baby, baby,baby, baby,baby, this is just to say just how much I'm really gonna miss you.
But, believe while I'm away, that I really didn't mean, I didn't mean, I didn't mean to hurt you. Don't you know that I'd rather hurt myself -
Baby, I need you, I need you, I need you
(if I did you wrong, if I did you wrong)
I need you, I need you, I need you
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
and mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
I heard those rumours
You'll soon be gone
They say there's no use
In holding on
But I love you so
I will die
If I let you go
Say it's not true
No no no no I'm losing you (I'm losing you)
They say you're cheating
They tell me you lie
But later all change
The way I feel inside
And if it's so
Then don't tell me
Cause I don't wanna know
Say it's not true
No no no no I'm losing you (I'm losing you)
If I lost you
What would I do?
And after all, all we've been through
Com'on, com'on
Maybe she is only
Passion faith
Well if she is
You go and help yourself of lay
Cause when you're through
I'll be here
Waiting, waiting just for you
Say it's not true
The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you
While combin' my hair now
And wonderin' what dress to wear now
I say a little prayer for you
Forever, forever you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever and ever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me
I run for the bus, dear
While riding I think of us, dear
I say a little prayer for you
At work I just take time
And all through my coffee break time
I say a little prayer for you
Forever, forever you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever and ever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me
I say a little prayer for you
I say a little prayer for you
Forever, forever you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever and ever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me
My darling, believe me
For me there is no one but you
Please love me too
I'm in love with you
Answer my prayer
Say you love me too
Why don't you answer my prayer
You know every day I say a little prayer
I said I say, I say a little prayer
Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But your love was the key to peace my mind
Cause you make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel like
A natural woman
When my soul was in the lost-and-found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for
Cause if I make you happy I don't need no more
Cause you make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel like
A natural woman
Oh, baby, what you've done to me
You make me feel so good inside
And I just want to be close to you
You make me fell so alive
Cause you make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel like
A natural woman
Billy Ray era filho de um pregador
E quando seu pai nos visitava, ele vinha junto,
Quando eles se reuniam e começavam a conversar,
Era quando Billy me levava pra passear,
Pelo quintal nós íamos andar
Então ele olhava nos meus olhos
Deus sabe, pra minha surpresa
O único que conseguiu me alcançar
Era o filho de um pregador
O único garoto que conseguiu me ensinar
Era o filho de um pregador
Sim, ele era, ele era, ooh, sim, ele era
Ser bom não era sempre fácil
Não importa quão duro eu tentasse
Quando ele começava com sua conversa-doce pra cima de mim
Ele vinha e me dizia "Está tudo bem"
Ele me beijava e me dizia "Está tudo bem"
Posso fugir de novo essa noite?
O único que conseguiu me alcançar
Era o filho de um pregador
O único garoto que conseguiu me ensinar
Era o filho de um pregador
Sim, ele era, ele era, ooh, sim ele era (sim, ele era)
Quão bem eu me lembro
O olhar nos olhos dele
Beijos roubados de mim na manha
Tomando tempo pra fazer tempo
Me dizendo que ele era todo meu
Aprendendo um com o outro, sabendo
Olhando pra ver o quanto nós tínhamos crescido e
O único que conseguiu me alcançar
Era o filho de um pregador
O único garoto que conseguiu me ensinar
Era o filho de um pregador
Sim, ele era, ele era, ooh, sim, ele era
(O único que conseguiu me alcançar)
Ele era o filho de um pregador com conversa-doce
(O único garoto que conseguiu me ensinar)
Era o filho de um pregador
(O único que conseguiu me alcançar)
Ele era o filho de um pregador com conversa-doce
(O único garoto que conseguiu me ensinar)
Ah, me beije seu filho de um pregador
Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel so uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day

Oh, baby, what you've done to me
You make me feel so good inside

You make me feel so alive
You make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel like
A natural woman
This is love, my darling
Can't you feel it?
When you really had me, concealing
I just can't be that way with you
The light of my life
And you don't even know it
How many ways can I show it
Wherever you are
I wanna be with you, baby
The joining of our hearts
The joining of our heads
With this ring, I thee wed
The love of my life
I trust you with my heart, dear
I trust you more when you're not here
This is your last chance
There'll be no backward glance
Are we on or are we through? (Repeat)
You feel it in your heart
You feel it down in your soul, baby
Oh, yeah
This is love
My darling
There's no denying it
In my responses
I was lying
Wherever you were
I wanted to be with you
Lover of my life
So many times
I wanted to be there
Oh darling
Just to be where
Wherever you were
I wanted to be there with you
The joining of our hearts
Joining of our heads
And with this ring I thee wed
The lover of my life
I'll trust you with my heart, dear
And trust you more when you're not here
I will be your wife
And I will love you, boy
So much more than the rest
I love you, boy
You are my joy
I love so much more than the rest
You are the king
You are the winner
Oh, boy, remember that
You are my joy
Though you don't call anymore
I sit and wait in vain
I guess I'll rap on your door
tap on your window pane
I wanna tell you, baby
changes I've been going through, missing you
'til you come back to me that's what I'm gonna do
Why did you have to decide
you had to set me free?
I'm gonna swallow my pride
and beg you to please see me
I'm gonna walk by myself
to prove that my love is true, all for you
'til you come back to me that's what I'm gonna do
Living for you, my dear
is like living in a world of constant fear
hear my plea
I've gotta make you see that our love is dying
Although your phone you ignore
somehow I must explain
I'll have to rap on your door, tap on your window pane
I'm gonna camp by your steps
until I get through to you
change your view
'til you come back to me that's what I'm gonna do
'til you come back to me that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna tap on your window pane, don't wanna wait in vain
We've had a hard time, you and I
Life sent us through some changes
Oh, but somehow we got by
A winding road, a heavy load
Is nothing new, you see
We know that through the bad times
I'll have you and you'll have me
United together
I finally found the one
Who'll love me forever
We two have just become as one
If we just keep this love alive
As time goes on this joy we know
Can't help but grow inside
Some people spend a lifetime
Looking for that special need
I'm so glad my search is over
Darling, I'm so glad that we
United together
(United together)
I finally found the one
(I finally found the one)
Who'll love me forever
(Who'll love me forever)
We two have just become
(We two have just become as one)
There's nothing we can't overcome
If you let me be your only one
There's nothing we can't overcome
If you let me be your one and only, one and only
Some people spend a lifetime
Looking for that special need
I'm so glad my search is over
Darling, I'm so glad, glad that we
United together
(United together)
I finally found the one
(I have finally found the one)
Who'll love me forever
(Who will love me and stand by me forever)
We two have just become
United together, 'gether
I finally found the one
(I finally found the one)
Who'll love me forever
(Who will love me and stand by me forever)
We two have just become
(Ooh, yes, we have)
We two have just become
(Oh, yes, we have)
United together
(United together)
I finally found the one
(I finally found the one)
Who'll love me forever
(Who will love me, love me, love me)
We two have just become
(We are, we are, we are)
United together
(United together)
I finally found the one
(Finally found the one)
Who'll love me forever

Without a word of warning
The blues walked in this morning
And circled rund my lonely room
I didn't know why I had
That sad and lonely feeling
'till my baby called and said it's through
Yesterday I sang a love song
But today I sing the blues
I know the explanation
But that's no constellation
No matter how your love
You can lose
And since I lost
I rather walk around and worry
I guess I've walked the darkest avenue
Yesterday I sang a love song
But today I sing the blues
Now it strikes me kind of funny
How life can be this way
We were lovers last night honey
But not in love today
Now it strikes me kind of funny
How faith can be unfair
It seems that I'm the one
To lose in every love affair
Yes it must be written for me
That I should be the one to always lose
Yesterday I sang a love song
But today I sing the blues
Now it strikes me kind of funny
How life can be this way
We were lovers last night honey
But not in love today
Now it strikes me kind of funny
How faith can be unfair
It seems that I'm the one
To lose in every love affair
Yes it must be written for me
That I should be the one to always lose
Yesterday I sang a love song
I can read your mind and I know your story
I see what you're going through
It's an uphill climb, and I'm feeling sorry
But I know it will come to you
Don't surrender 'cause you can win
In this thing called love
When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is
When you question me for a simple answer
I don't know what to say, no
But it's plain to see, if you stick together
You're gonna find a way, yeah
So don't surrender 'cause you can win
In this thing called love
When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is
When life is empty with no tomorrow
And loneliness starts to call
Baby, don't worry, forget your sorrow
'Cause love's gonna conquer it all, all
When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is
When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is
That's the way it is
That's the way it is, babe
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is.
I'm gettin the spirit in the dark
I'm gettin the spirit in the dark
People movin, aw, ain't we groovin?
Just gettin the spirit in the dark.
Tell me sister, how do you feel?
Tell me my brother, brother, brother, how do you feel?
Do you feel like dancin? Then get up and let's start dancin
Start gettin the spirit, spirit in the dark
It's like Sally Walker sittin in a saucer
That's how ya do it, it ain't nothin to it
Rise, Sally, rise, put your hand on your hips
and cover your eyes, and move on with the spirit,
move with the spirit, hey now move, move with the spirit
in the dark
Now there was a time when they used to say
That behind every great man there had to be a great woman
Now in these times of change, you know that it's no longer true
So we're comin' out of the kitchen
'Cause there's somethin' we forgot to say to you
We said, "Sisters are doin' it for themselves"
Standin' on their own two feet
And ringin' on their own bells
We said, "Sisters are doin' it for themselves"
Now this is a song to celebrate
The conscious liberation of the female state
Mothers, daughters and their daughters too, oh yeah
Woman to woman, we're singin' with you
The inferior sex has got a new exterior
We got doctors, lawyers, politicians too
Everybody, take a look around
Can you see, can you see?
Can you see there's a woman right next to you?
We said, "Sisters are doin' it for themselves," oh yes we are
Standin' on their own two feet
And ringin' on their own bells
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Now we ain't makin' stories and we ain't layin' plans
Don't you know that a man still loves a woman
When a woman still loves a man?
Just a same though
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
There was a time when they used to say
That behind every great man there had to be a great woman
In these times of change you know that it's no longer true
So we're comin' out of the kitchen
'Cause there's somethin' we forgot to say to you
We say, "Sisters are doin' it for themselves"
Standin' on their own two feet
And ringin' on their own bells
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Sisters are doin' it for themselves, yes
Sisters are doin' it, doin' it, doin' it, doin' it, doin' it, doin' it
Sisters are doin' it for themselves, oh oh yes
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
I said, "Sisters are doin' it for themselves"
Standin' on their own two feet
And ringin' on their own bells
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Something is wrong, baby
Is the feelin' gone, baby
Maybe I need to refresh your mind
Think about the love we shared
Think back to the time we cared
Maybe you can find a reason to be here
Oh, I'm the one who loved you
I'm the one who made it right
I'm the one who was there for you
On those cold and lonely nights
I'm the one who held you
When the world came down on you
And I'm the one who's in love with you
And whose love never stops
In case you forgot
I give love and my love is so good
In case you forgot
I was there when you fell 'cause I care
In case you forgot
I left you satisfied all those nights
In case you forgot
I give love and my love never stops
Where did mine go
(Where did it go)
I never shoulda really let you know
You're about to make a big mistake
Now where do you think you
Find a love at all like mine
Maybe all you're gonna find is heartache
I'm the one who loved you
Yeah, yeah I'm the one who made it right
I'm the one who was there for you
On those cold, cold and lonely nights
I'm the one who held you
When the world came down on you
And I am the one who was there for you
And whose love never stops
In case you forgot
I give love and my love is so good
In case you forgot
I was there when you fell 'cause I care
In case you forgot
I left you satisfied all those nights
In case you forgot
I give love and my love never stops
Where will you go to find someone to love you like I do
You can play anything baby, 'cause you know that it's true
Sometimes a love like mine comes just once in your life
So you better better take it baby, and hold on tight
In case you forgot
I give love and my love is so good
In case you forgot
I was there when you fell 'cause I care
(You know it's true)
(I was there for you)
In case you forgot
I left you satisfied all those nights
In case you forgot
I give love and my love never stops
(In case you forgot)
In case you forgot
Remember me, hey
Remember me baby, baby
In case you forgot
I was there when you fell 'cause I care
(I was there)
In case you forgot
I left you satisfied all those nights
The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little pray for you
While combing my hair, now,
And wondering what dress to wear, now,
I say a little pray for you
Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart
and I´ll love you
Forever, and ever, we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, forever, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only be heartbreak for me.
I run for the bus, dear,
While riding I think of us, dear,
I say a little pray for you.
At work I just take time
And all through my coffee break-time,
I say a little pray for you.
Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, forever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, forever, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only be heartbreak for me.
My darling believe me,
For me there is no one
But you.
Save me
Somebody save me
Save me
Somebody save me, yeah
Promised myself after the first romance
I wouldn't give ya a second chance
Said you seek, you're sure to find
A but the closer I get to you, baby
You drive me stone out-a-my-mind
Save me oh, yeah, save me yeah, yeah
Those who love always give the most
We're cryin' together from coast to coast
Love leaves us cold and hurt inside
These tears of ours are unjustified
Beggin' you to, save me
Yeah, need somebody to
Save me yeah hey hey hey
Yeah, yeah
Your love said you needed me
You abused my love, set me free
You didn't need, you didn't want me
Somebody help me, this man wants to taunt me
I'm beggin' you to, oh
Save me yeah, please, save me
Calling the Cape Crusader, Green Hornet Kado too
I'm in so much trouble I don't know what to do
If you're thinkin' a thing about me
Save me oh yeah, yeah, c'mon
I just said, ?Save me baby c'mon?
Save me, save me
Rock-a-bye your baby with a Dixie melody.
When you croon, croon a tune from the heart of Dixie.
Just place my cradle, mammy mine,
Right on the Mason Dixon line,
And swing it from Virginia
To Tennessee with all the love that's in ya.
Weep no more, my lady.
Sing that song again for me.
Soft and low, just as though
You had me on your knee.
A million baby kisses I'd deliver,
If you would only sing that Swanee River.
Rock steady baby!
That's what I feel now

When Jesus washes, oh, when He washes
He washes my sins away, oh happy day
He taught me how to watch

[Verse 1]
My Lord
I have read this book so many times
But nowhere can i find the page
that change what i experience today
[? Grace:]
Now i Know that life is ment to be hard
thats how I learn to appreciate my God
Though my courage made me try
I can tell you i won't hide
Because the footprints show you are by my side.
[Chorus]
You can lie to a child with a smilin' face
Tell me that color aint about race
You can cast the first stones you can break my bones
But your never gonna break Your never gonna break my Faith
Faith and Hope aint yours to give
Truth and Liberty are mine to Live
You can steal a crown from a king
Break an angels wings
But your never gonna break Your never gonna break my Faith
[Verse 2:]
My Lord
Won't you help them to understand
that when someone takes the life of an innocent man
Well they never really Won because all they've really done
is set the Soul Free where it's supposed to be
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
For those we lose before their time
I pray their souls will find the light
I know that the day will surely come
When his will, His will, will be done
You're more than just a joy, baby
You're more than just a joy, baby
Loving you tenderly is just what I need for me
Oh, the way you warm my buns sweet
Honey begins to run
You're more than just a joy, baby
You're more than just a joy
You're more than just a man, baby
Takes my kind of woman to understand you, baby
I'm sweet willing proof
Your one woman stock, best of breed
You know when I show I'll be just what my baby needs
You make it so easy
So easy to please me
I've had so many to find out
I really haven't had any
Your sincerity, baby, makes me true
I'm gonna stretch on out right here
And just go ahead and do what I've got to do
Give me good feelings beyond my mind's belief
But when it's finally over
I must confess that I'm relieved
You're more than just a joy, baby
Does he love me?
I wanna know!
How can I tell if he loves me so?
(Is it in his eyes?)
Oh no! You need to see!
(Is it in his size?)
Oh no! You make believe!
If you wanna know
If he loves you so
Its in his kiss!
(That's where it is!)
(Oh yeah! Or is it in his face?)
no girls! It's just his charms!
(In his warm embrace?)
no girls! That's just his arms!
If you wanna know
If he loves you so
It's in his kiss!
(That's where it is!)
yeah!! Its in his kiss!
(That's where it is!)
Oh, oh, oh, honey !
Squeeze him tight!
Find out what you wanna know!
promise love, and if it really is,
It's there in his kiss!
(How 'bout the way he acts?)
no no no! That's not the way!
You're not listenin' to all I'm sayin'!
If you wanna know
If he loves you so
It's in his kiss!
(That's where it is!)
Oh, yeah! Its in his kiss!
(That's where it is!)
Oh, oh, oh, hold him !
Squeeze him tight!
Find out what you wanna know!
promise love, and if it really is,
well It's there in his kiss!
(How 'bout the way he acts?)
no no no! That's not the way!
You're not listenin' to all I'm sayin'!
If you wanna know
If he loves you so
It's in his kiss!
(That's where it is!)
Oh, yeah ! Its in his kiss!
(That's where it is!)
mmmm ! Its in his kiss!
(that's where it is)
Oh baby
Ohhhhh
Oh baby
Ohhhhh
Oh babe
Love was always supposed to be
Something wonderful to me
To watch it grow inside yourself
To feel your heart beside itself
Sometimes it hurts to love so bad
(When you know you've given all you can)
Sometimes it hurts to even laugh
(You do your best but it's still much too bad)
Sometimes the pain is just too much
And it hurts like hell
That's the way it feels
True love
It has no hiding place
It's not something you just put away
It's always there inside of you
Ohhh, and it shows in everything you do
Sometimes it hurts to love so bad
(When you know you've given it your best)
Sometimes it hurts to even laugh
(You feel a thousand miles from happiness)
Sometimes the pain is just too much
And it hurts like hell
That's the way it feels
Here we are, the two of us
So full of love, so little trust
But dying for some tenderness
Ooohhh, but too afraid to take the step
Sometimes it hurts to love so bad
(When you know what it can put you through)
Sometimes it hurts to even laugh
(There's nothing funny if it's killing you)
Sometimes the pain is just too much
And it hurts like hell
That's the way it feels
I know if there is any chance
For us to find our happiness
We've got to learn to let it go
Ohhh oh, forget all the pain we knew
Sometimes it hurts to love so bad
Sometimes it hurts it hurts to even laugh
And it hurts like hell
That's the way
Oh baby
You're a no good heart breaker
You're a liar and you're a cheat
And I don't know why
I let you do these things to me
My friends keep telling me
That you ain't no good
But oh, they don't know
That I'd leave you if I could
I guess I'm uptight
And I'm stuck like glue
Cause I ain't never
I ain't never, I ain't never, no, no (loved a man)
(The way that I, I love you)
Some time ago I thought
You had run out of fools
But I was so wrong
You got one that you'll never lose
The way you treat me is a shame
How could ya hurt me so bad
Baby, you know that I'm the best thing
That you ever had
Kiss me once again
Don'cha never, never say that we we're through
Cause I ain't never
Never, Never, no, no (loved a man)
(The way that I, I love you)
I can't sleep at night
And I can't even fight
I guess I'll never be free
Since you got, your hooks, in me
Whoa, oh, oh
Yeah! Yeah!
I ain't never loved a man
I ain't never loved a man, baby
Ain't never had a man hurt me so bad
Well this is what I'm gonna do about it
I Knew You Were Waiting For Me
------------------------------
(Simon Climie, Dennis Morgan)
# From Aretha '86 / Greatest Hits 1980-1994
Like a warrior that fights
And wins the battle
I know the taste of victory
Though i went through some nights
Consumed by the shadows
And was crippled emotionally
Somehow I made it through the heartace
I escaped
I found my way out of the darkness, kept my faith
Kept my faith
(Chorus)
And the river was deep I didn't falter
When the mountain was high
I still believed
When the valley was low
It didn't stop me
I knew you were waiting
Knew you were waiting for me
With and endless desire
I kept on searching
Sure in time our eyes would meet
And like the bridge is on fire
The hurt is over
One touch and you set me free
I don't regret a single moment
Looking back, when I think of all those disappointments
I just laugh, I just laugh
(Chorus)
So we were drawn together through destiny
I know this love we share was meant to be
It's Only Love
--------------
# From Tina live in Europe / Bryan Adams's "So far so good"
When the feelin' is ended
There ain't no use pretendin'
Don't ya worry - it's only love
When your world has been shattered
Ain't nothin' else matters
It ain't over - it's only love
And that's all - ya
When your heart has been broken
Hard words have been spoken
It ain't easy - but it's only love
And if your life ain't worth livin'
And you're ready to give in
Just remember - that it's only love
You can live without the aggravation
Ya gotta wanna win - ya gotta wanna win
You keep lookin' back in desperation
Over and over and over again
When your world is shattered
Ain't nothin' else matters
It ain't over - it's only love
If your life ain't worth livin'
And you're ready to give in
Just remember - that it's only love
Ya - that's all
Ya it ain't easy baby
Extra, extra
Read all about it
Extra, extra
We heard the good news
We've come this far by faith
Pick up your pace and don't you be late
I'm here to tell you about the good news
There's something about the path that we choose
Wisdom has built this house now
Integrity will bring your pride out
If you know how to pray the situation out
You'll get an answer, and there ain't no doubt
Monday, we held it together and
Wednesday, we had stormy weather and
Friday, we prayed it all better
And Sunday, we heard the good news
He won't stop blessing you
Look here, what He'll do
Is keep testing you
And a beggar's no less than you
'Cause one day it could be you
So get your folks together for some church
Some good music, prayer, and service won't hurt
Even if you don't like the preacher
There's bound to be a thing or two he can teach you
Monday, we held it together and
Wednesday, we had stormy weather and
Friday, we prayed it all better and
Sunday, we heard the good news
Deceit is in the heart of them who imagine evil
Righteousness is the fruit of the tree of all people
And if you want to live your life upright
Pray that the Lord will hold up the light
What you need is love on your side
The power of love won't be denied
I feel comfortable giving you this advice
Don't make the same mistake twice
Monday, we held it together and
Wednesday, we had stormy weather and
Friday, we prayed it all better
And Sunday, we heard the good news (Repeat)
These are the greatest days of our test of time
We need to be walking with a made-up mind
Walk by faith, not by sight
Then all your battles, you know He will fight
If the sky changes colors there's so many ways
This world's gonna be a better place some day
If love and unity, you just believe
Then all your blessings I know you'll receive
Glory to God in the Highest
Glory, Glory, Glory
Jesus, man who walked on water
Jesus, He's alright, He's alright
Monday, we held it together and
Wednesday, we had stormy weather and
Friday, we prayed it all better
(Shoo)
Verse 1
Many say
that I'm too young
to let you know just where I'm coming from.
But you will see
it's just a matter of time
my love surely make you mine
Well, I'm
Livin in a world of ghetto life
Everyone Seems is so uptight
Nothin's wrong, it's alright, my man
I like the way we carry on
His love will send me on and on
with my man
People out there can you understand
I'm givin him somethin he can feel
to let him know this love is real
This love is real
Verse 2
So much joy for us it seems
So much hope for material things
Are they only in my dreams?
(hey, oh yeah)
And that's exactly why I'm singing this song to you
To let you know that real dreams do come true.
You tell me 'what does it mean'.

It's an ever changing time
I see, that clock upon the wall
Well it don't bother me at all
It's an ever changing time
And me, ever changing time
Everything is going so much faster
It seems like I'm
Watching my life, and everything I do
Wonder if the dreams that I believed in
Still come true
Caught in between, it comes back to
You and me running out of time
I gotta find me a better understanding
Everything keeps forgetting what's mine
I gotta find me a way, less-demanding
And we're holding on so tight, together all of our lives
And I, I had some big idea
So much of my life, still not completed, hopes and fears
Watching it change, into something new
Wondering it I'm gonna find the answer, loving you
All of my life, it comes back to
You and me running out of time
I gotta find me a better understanding
Everything keeps forgetting what's mine
I gotta find me a way, less-demanding
And we're holding on so tight, together all of our lives
I see, that clock upon the wall, well it don't bother me at all
It's an ever changing time
I see, that clock upon the wall, well it don't bother me at all
It's an ever changing time
All of my life, it comes back to
You and me running out of time
I gotta find me a better understanding
Everything keeps forgetting what's mine
I gotta find me a way, less-demanding
And we're holding on so tight, together
And we're gonna be alright, together all of our lives
I see, that clock upon the wall, well it don't bother me at all
It's a ever changing time
I see, that clock upon the wall, well it don't bother me at all
It's a ever changing time
I see, that clock upon the wall, well it don't bother me at all
It's a ever changing time
I see, that clock upon the wall, well it don't bother me at all
It's a ever changing time
I see, that clock upon the wall, well it don't bother me at all
It's a ever changing time
I see, that clock upon the wall, well it don't bother me at all
It's a ever changing time
I see, that clock upon the wall, well it don't bother me at all
Do you believe in magic in a young girl's heart
How the music can free her, whenever it starts
And it's magic, if the music is groovy
It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie
I'll tell you about the magic, and it'll free your soul
But it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock and roll
If you believe in magic don't bother to choose
If it's jug band music or rhythm and blues
Just go and listen it'll start with a smile
It won't wipe off your face no matter how hard you try
Your feet start tapping and you can't seem to find
How you got there, so just blow your mind
If you believe in magic, come along with me
We'll dance until morning 'til there's just you and me
And maybe, if the music is right
I'll meet you tomorrow, sort of late at night
And we'll go dancing, baby, then you'll see
How the magic's in the music and the music's in me
Yeah, do you believe in magic
Yeah, believe in the magic of a young girl's soul
Believe in the magic of rock and roll
Believe in the magic that can set you free
Ohh, talking 'bout magic
Do you believe like I believe Do you believe in magic
Do you believe like I believe Do you believe, believer
Do you believe like I believe Do you believe in magic
{Fade}
Take me to heart and I'll always love you
And nobody can make me do wrong
Take me for granted leaving love unsure
Makes willpower weak and temptation strong
A woman's only human

If you wanna do right all days, woman
You've gotta be a do right all night, man

And temptation strong

She's flesh and blood
Just like her man
If you want a do right
All days woman
You've gotta be a do right
All night man

Holy Moses, I have been removed,
I have seen the spectre, he was been here too,
Distant cousin from down the line
Brand of people who ain't my kind
Holy Moses, I have been removed
Holy Moses, I have been deceived,
Now the wind has changed direction and I'll have to leave
Won't you please excuse my frankness but it's not my cup of tea
Holy Moses, I have been deceived
I'm going back to the border
Where my affairs, my affairs ain't abused
I can't take any more bad water
I've been poisoned from my head down to my shoes
Holy Moses, I have been deceived.
Holy Moses, let us live in peace
Let us strive to find a way to make all hatred cease
There's a man over there,
What's his colour I don't care
He's ny brother let us live in peace
He's ny brother let us live in peace
He's ny brother let us live in peace

Baby baby, sweet baby
There's something that I just got to say
Baby baby, sweet baby
You left me hurtin' in a real cold way
Speak your name
And I'll feel a thrill
You said I do
And I said I will
I tell you that I'll stay true
and give you just a little time
Wait on me baby,
I want you to be all mine
I just get so blue
Since you've been gone, baby
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
Since you've been gone
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
(bridge)
Baby baby, sweet baby
I didn't mean to run you away
It was pride on my lips,
But not in my heart
To say the things that made you stray
But ah, babe
Hear me now
(hear me)
I don't know what I'm gonna do
(hear me)
Got to get you back somehow
(hear me now)
Oooh, take me back,
consider me please
If you walk in that door,
I can get up off my knees
I just been so blue
Since you've been gone
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
Since you've been gone
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
Well I've been so lonely
(sweet sweet - sweet sweet baby)
Baby, since you've been gone
(sweet sweet - sweet sweet baby)
I've been so lonely
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
Since you've been gone
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
Baby baby baby been so lonely
(sweet sweet - sweet sweet baby)
It's knowing that your
Door is always open
And your path is
Free to walk
That makes me know that
I can leave my sleeping bag
Behind your couch
It's knowing I'm not shackled
By forgotten words and bonds
And your ink stains that
Have dried upon some line
Keeps you on the backroads
By the rivers of my memory
It keeps you ever
Gentle on my mind
It's not clinging to
Some rocks and ivy
Planted on some column now
That binds me, no, it don't
Or something that somebody said
Because they thought we
Fit together walking
It's knowing that the world
Will not be cursing or forgiving
When they turn around and find
That you're
Moving on the backroads
You're still on my memory
You're ever gentle on my mind
(Gentle on my mind, yeah)
You might wake up some mornin'
To the sound of something moving past your window in the wind
And if you're quick enough to rise
You'll catch the fleeting glimpse of someone's fading shadow
Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing something I'm not sure of
Across my dream, with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
Out on the new horizon
You may see the floating motion of a distant pair of wings
And if the sleep has left your ears
You might hear footsteps running through an open meadow
Don't be concerned, it will not harm you
It's only me pursuing something I'm not sure of
Across my dream, with nets of wonder
Truly young gifted and black.
Wo ward oh lowly, precious is
Oh when your,

When your young yeah thank you jesus, gifted and you black

Here in my book of memories

running in the rain, laughing in the sunshine
we used to share our kisses and dreams.
Now you´ve gone to some distant shore,
what happend to the boy next door?
Wherever you are I wonder if you´d cherish
the special joy we shared yesterday.
Do you still remember?
Do you still recall?
Memories so tender,
dind´t we have something after all?
Do you still remember?
Come here and let me breathe you in
oh you´ve haven´t lost that same old grin.
I know what you want and I´ll confess to one thing
I´ts never been as good as it was then.
Chorus
Why we fought each other?
I will never know.
But I can´t seem to shake the past.
If we had another chance to make it go
I wonder could we make it last?
When you're down and troubled
And you need some loving care
And nothing, no nothing is going right
Oh close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am

Like sweet morning dew, took one look at you
And it was plain to see that you were my destiny
With my arms open wide, I threw away my pride
I sacrificed for you, dedicated my life to you
Like I would go where you lead
I'll be right there in a time of need
And when I lose my will
You'll be there to push me up that hill
There's no, no looking back for us
We've got our love and sure know that's enough
You're all I need
You're all I need
You're all I need, baby, baby to get by
Yea, to go by

Stand by you like a tree and dare anybody that try to move me
Darlin' in you I've found, strength where I was torn down
I don't know what's in store but together we can open any door
Just to do what's good for you, I'll inspire you a little bitta higher
I know you can make a woman out of soul that didn't have a goal
'Cause we, we've got the right foundation
And with the love and determination

And I feel it because
Without the one you love, life is not worthwhile
Without your love, my dear, I'm like a fatherless child
So come and fill my empty arms
The other night
As I lay sleeping

Held you in my arms
Well, but when I woke up this morning

Do you know that I hung my

Verse 1
Yield not to temptation, for yielding is sin;
each victory will help you some other to win;
fight manfully onward, dark passions subdue,
look ever to Jesus, He'll carry you through.
Chorus
Ask the Savior to help you,
comfort, strengthen and keep you;
He is willing to aid you,
He will carry you through.
Verse 2
Shun evil companions, bad language disdain;
God's name hold in reverence, nor take it in vain;
be thoughtful and earnest, kind-hearted and true;
look ever to Jesus, He'll carry you through.
Chorus
Verse 3
To him that o'ercometh, God giveth a crown;
through faith we shall conquer, though often cast down;
He who is our Savior our strength will renew;
look ever to Jesus, He'll carry you through.
Feels like I've seen you before
Maybe in a past life, you were mine and I was yours
'Cause the vibe we share, feels so comfortable
Is it possible someone could make me lose control
Look what you've done to me, finding it hard to breathe
'Cause I just can't believe, you're feeling me like I'm feeling you
I had to pinch myself, 'cause nobody else has given me such a chill
And made me feel the way that you do
I just gotta let you know in case you didn't know
I, I, I, I, I, I think you're wonderful
There's this thing you do to me, that thing that makes me weak
Baby I, I, I, I think you're wonderful
Questioning what this is if it's too good to be true
I don't wanna fool myself 'cause I'm fallin' hard for you
Givin' me that old school love, sayin' I'm the only one
Showin' me in so many ways, that you're crazy for me
Look what you've done to me, finding it hard to breathe
'Cause I just can't believe, you're feeling me like I'm feeling you
I had to pinch myself, 'cause nobody else has given me such a chill
And made me feel the way that you do, baby
I just gotta let you know in case you didn't know
I, I, I, I, I, I think you're wonderful
There's this thing you do to me, that thing that makes me weak
Baby I, I, I, I think you're wonderful
I'd go anywhere, far away from here
It would be okay as long as you are there
You take away my pain and I'll never be the same
You've got my heart baby and I just want to say, baby
I just gotta let you know in case you didn't know
I, I, I, I, I, I think you're wonderful
There's this thing you do to me, that thing that makes me weak
Baby I, I, I, I think you're wonderful
I just gotta let you know in case you didn't know
I, I, I, I, I, I think you're wonderful
There's this thing you do to me, that thing that makes me weak
Baby, here I am
By the railroad tracks
Waiting for my baby
'Cause he's coming back
Coming back to me
On the 503
And it won't be long
No, it won't be long
I've been so lonesome
Since the man has been gone
There ain't a thing worth mentioning
Nothin' been going on
And that's why I know
When the whistle blows
Yeah, that it won't be long
No, no, it won't be long
My daddy told me
When he said goodbye
- Yes, he did
"I'll be back, baby
Baby, by and by,"
And that's why I waited
So doggone long, yeah
Can't you see how happy I am?
Because the man is coming home
So now, here I be
By the railroad tracks
Oh, waiting for my baby
He's coming back
Coming back to me
On the 503
Yeah, and it won't be long
No, no, it won't be long
I ain't had no loving
Since you know when
He's a long-gone rooster
And I'm a lonesome hen
And that's why I'm sure
When the whistle blows
Yeah, that it won't be long
No, no, it won't be long
Mmm, and I'm so excited
My knees are shaking, yeah
Mr. Engineer
Don't you keep me waiting!
You hear me?
Telling you:
Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!
Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!
Baby, here I am
Oh, by the railroad tracks
Waiting for my baby
He's coming back
Coming back to me
Lord, on the 503
Yeah, and it won't be long
No, it won't be long
Ahh, yeah, I know
When the whistle blows
Hey, that it won't be long
No, no, it won't be long
I don't know about you, but
I know, yeah, I know
That it won't be long
No, no, it won't be long
Said it won't be long
All night long
One night, I could not sleep
For ringing in my ear
A melody began to sing
Oh, at first
The words I could not make out clear
The smog fields lifted away
And this is what I heard them say
It said without love
(Without love)
There's nothing you can do
Yes, it did
It said without love
(Without love)
You're not even you
All night long
He spoke to me
The words of wisdom rang
Beneath his sweet, soft melody
It said, don't you know
(Don't you know)
That a rich man can be poor
If wealth is all he has, hey
Without love
(Without love)
There's nothing you can do
(Do, do, do, do, do)
Don't you know
Without love
You're not even you
(Without love)
Can't you hear me talking to you
(Can't you hear us talking to you)
Without love, oh
The sorrow's even new
Yes, it is
Without love
(Without love)
You're not even you
Hey, yeah
Without love
(Without love)
There's really so much you can do
Yes, it is
(Without love)
Without love
(Without love)
You're not even you
Everybody sing now
Without love
(Without love)
There's so much you can do
(Without love)
Yes, it is
(Without love)
Yes, it is
Without love
(Without love)
You're not even you
Sing it, sing it
One more time
Without love
(Without love)
There's so much you can do
(Without love)
(Without love)
Without love
Do you know you're not even you
Hey, hey, hey
Without you
With pen in hand
You sign your name
Today at five
I'll be on that train
And you'll be free
And I'll be alone
So alone
If you think
We can't find the love we once knew
If you think
I can't make everything up to you
Then I'll be gone
And you'll be on your own
You'll be on your own
Can you take good care of Jenny
Can you take her to school everyday
Can you teach her how to play
All the games that little girls play
Hear what I say
Can you teach her how to roll up her hair
Can you make sure each night that she says her prayers
Well if you can do all these things
Then maybe she won't miss me
Maybe she won't miss me
And tonight as you laid in that big lonely bed
And you look at that pillow
Where I laid my head
With your heart on fire
Will you have no desire
To kiss me
Or to hold me
And if you can forget
The good times we had
If you don't think
They out weigh the bad
Well then go ahead
Sign your name
And I'll be
On my way
I read her letters and I saw her picture
And I smelled her cheap perfume, hmm
It must have come from you
How could you touch her
Lay down beside her
Well, there just ain't no excuse
You shouldn't have been so loose
I saw the telephone bill
You must be out of your mind
If you think you can smooth it over
Then you're wasting your time
Well, I'm willing to forgive you but I cant forget
'Cause you really, really, really, really hurt me this time
And I guess I can go on although I must admit
Ive been busy, busy, busy, busy
Thinkin' that I'm gonna mess around some time
You're such a liar
You took her and her children
Out for the afternoon
While I was sittin' waitin' on you
How could you do it
You should've been here with me
You just couldn't do it
You had to be in the streets, uh
Well, I heard through the grapevine
You've been messin' around
When you thought you were gettin' over
Thats when my baby I found, oh
Well, I'm willing to forgive you but I cant forget
'Cause you really, really, really, really hurt me this time
(You really hurt me)
And I guess I can go on although I must admit
I've been busy, busy, busy, busy
Thinkin' that I'm gonna mess around some time
I gave my heart, gave my time
Gave my soul cause love was blind
I cant explain this poor excuse
Of a man of a boy who was born to lose
I paid the rent, washed your clothes
Cooked your food and I only God knows
Only God knows why I stay with you
I guess, guess I I'm in love
Well, I'm willing to forgive you but I can't forget
(Oh, baby, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love)
'Cause you really, really, really, really hurt me this time
(Ooh, you really hurt me this time, baby)
And I guess I can go on although I must admit
(Although I must admit)
I've been busy, busy, busy, busy
Thinkin' that I'm gonna mess around some time
(I'm gonna mess around some time)
I gave my heart, gave my time
Gave my soul 'cause love was blind
I can't explain this poor excuse
Of a man of a boy who was born to lose
I paid the rent, I washed your clothes
Cooked your food and I only God knows
Only God knows why I stay with you
I guess guess I I'm in love
Well, I'm willing to forgive you but I cant forget
'Cause you really, really, really, really hurt me this time
(Ooh, oh, baby, you hurt me, you hurt me)
And I guess I can go on although I must admit
I've been busy, busy, busy, busy
Thinkin' that I'm gonna mess around some time
I'm willing to forgive you but I cant forget
(I'm willin', I'm willin' and able)
'Cause you really, really, really
Why was I born, why am I livin'?
What do I get, what am I givin'?
Why do I want a thing I daren't hope for?
What can I hope for? I wish I knew
Why do I try to draw you near me?
Why do I do I cry? You never hear me
I'm a poor fool, but what can I do?
Why was I born to love you?
I'm a poor fool, but what can I do?
Why was I born to love you?
Some other versions may include an intro:
Spending these lonesome evenings with nothing to do
But to live in dreams that I make up all by myself
Dreaming that you're beside me, I picture the prettiest stories
Without a word of warnin' blues
walked in this mornin'
and circled 'round my lonely room.
i didn't know why i had that sad
'n lonely feelin' until my baby called
and said we were through, hooo.

i sang a lovesong but today

Hmmmm...
strikes me kinda funny how love can be this way

and it strikes me kinda funny
how fate can be unfair
that i come right on the losin' end
in every, every love affair!

You walked in on the sly scopin' for love.
In the crowd I caught your eye

But than you started showin' me another side of you

Nothin' that I would do was ever enough for you boy, ooh baby

If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by
Just make believe that you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve
In private 'cause each time I see you
I break down and cry
So walk on by
(Don't stop)
You walk on by
(Don't stop)
You walk on by
I just can't get over losing you
And so if I seem broken in two
Walk on by, walk on by
This foolish pride is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When we said, "Goodbye"
Walk on by
(Don't stop)
You walk on by
(Don't stop)
You walk on by
(Don't stop)
(Walk on by)
Walk on by, walk on by
This foolish pride is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said, "Goodbye"
Walk on by
(Don't stop)
You walk on by
(Don't stop)
Now you know you gotta go so walk by
(Don't, no no, don't stop)
Make believe you never see the tears I cry
(Don't, no no, don't stop)
Now you know you gotta go so walk by
(Don't, no no, don't stop)
Make believe you never see the tears I cry
Say, can't I hear you say somethin'
Deep inside, fall on the wall
That's where I find protection from the rain
Since you've been gone, my only friend is yesterday, ooh boy
Telephone won't make a sound
Waitin' here for you to change your mind
You never called, I'm lost in the tears I hide behind, ohh yeah
That's where I'll be
Until you say you love me, ohh
That's where I'll be
Until you say you love me
Late at night I toss and turn
Burnin' memories lingerin' on
I'd give the world just to prove my love for you is strong
All you left is confusion and doubt
Unanswered questions, just where did I fail?
I'm hurt and helpless inside a cold and empty shell, ooh boy
That's where I'll be
Until you say you love me, yeah
That's where I'll be
Until you say you love me
You?re love's sweet reason for livin'
In your arms I found my home
Love's waitin' here for givin'
Like a stone, like a stone, oh
Telephone won't make a sound
Waitin' here for you to change your mind
But you never called and I'm lost in the tears I hide, yeah, behind
That's where I'll be
Until you say you love me
That's where I'll be
Until you say you love me, yeah
That's where I'll be
Until you say you love me, yeah
That's where I'll be
Until you say you say, say, say, say you love me
Till you say you love me
Till you say you love me
Till you say you love me
Till you say you love me
Till you say you love me
Till you say you love me
Unforgettable
That's what you are
Unforgettable
Tho' near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone been more
Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why darling it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
She may be weary
Women do get weary
Wearing the same shabby dress
And when she's weary
Try a little tenderness
You know she's waiting
Just anticipating things she may never possess
While she's without them,
Try a little tenderness
It's not just sentimental
She has her grief and care
And a word that's soft and gentle
Makes it easier to bear
You won't regret it
Women don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness
It's all so easy
Try a little tenderness
She may be weary
Women do get weary
Wearing the same shabby dress
And when she's weary
Try a little tenderness
You know she's waiting
Just anticipating things she may never possess
While she's without them
Try a little tenderness
It's not just sentimental
She has her grief and care
And a word that's soft and gentle
Makes it easier to bear
You won't regret it
Women don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness
It's all so easy
Trouble in mind, I'm blue
But I won't be blue always,
'Cause that sun is gonna shine in my back door someday
I'm going down to the river
I'm going top take me a rocking chair
and if the blues don't leave me, I rock on away from here
Trouble in mind, I'm blue
But I won't be blue always,
'Cause that sun is gonna shine in my back door someday
Trouble in mind, that's true
I have almost lost my mind
Life ain't worth living, I feel like I could die
Trouble in mind, I'm blue
My poor heart is healing slow
I've never had such trouble in my whole life before
I'm gonna lay my head on some lonesome railroad line
and let that 2:19 special ease my troubled mind
Trouble in mind, I'm blue,
But I won't be blue always
People say I'm the life of the party 'cause I tell a joke or two,
although I might be a-laughing loud and hearty deep inside I'm blue.
So take a good look at my face you'll see my smile looks out of place.
If you look closer, it's easy to trace the tracks of my tears.
I need you need you.
Since you left me if you see me with another girl
seeming like I'm having fun, although she may be cute
she's just a substitute because you're the permanent one.
So take a good look at my face oh, you'll see my smile looks out of place.
A-look a little bit closer, it's easy to trace the tracks of my tears.
Oh I need you
Hey hey yeah (Outside) I'm masquerading
(Inside) my hope is fading; a
(Just a clown) oo yeah a since you put me down,
my smile is my make up I wear since my break up with you.
Baby take a good look at my face you'll see my smile looks out of place.
If you look closer, it's easy to trace the tracks of my tears.
In this world it's hard you know
Lovers come and lovers go
People never seem to hold on
To what they've got, no, no
Some, they never stay together
But you and I, well, we know better
We can make it last forever
We can keep this love alive
Through the storm, through the tears
You and I, I know we can survive
To the day, through the night
If we try we can keep it alive, we can keep it alive
I know sometimes it's been so tough
We've been so close to givin' up
Hey, but our love's so strong
Yeah, we keep holdin' on, yeah, to what we got
It's easier to walk away
It takes a lot of love to stay
We got all the love it takes
We know there's a brighter day
Through the storm, through the tears
You and I, I know we can survive
To the day, through the night
If we try we can keep it alive, we can keep it alive
We just got to be strong, we just got to be strong
We just got to be strong together
We just got to hold on, we just got to hold on
We just got to hold on and go through the storm
Through the storm
Through the storm, through the tears
You and I, I know we can survive
To the day, through the night
If we try we can keep it alive, we can keep it alive
Through the storm, through the tears
You and I, I know we can survive
To the day, through the night
If we try we can keep it alive, we can keep it alive
If I wanted to, I'd have anything
I could ever need, anything indeed
But if I can't have you I'd be lost within
And everything else baby
Would really not be worth anythin'
And I've really got to tell you
Exactly how I feel
And make you understand
That love ain't playin' this time
This is for real, real
And if I could, I'd change what I am
But without you baby, I don't give a damn
'Coz what I am won't change until you change it
To anythin' you want it to be
Oh, I'm putting my trust in you
And I really got to tell it
Exactly how I feel
Make you understand that
Love ain't playin' this time
This is for real
I thought it out the other day
And came to the conclusion
That I wouldn't last a minute
Without your love, baby
No, no, no, no, no, no
You really did show me, baby
When you walked out on me
Now I've got to make you understand
That I won't be bad, I won't be bad anymore
Oh, honey, this is for real
Everythin' that I'm sayin'
Every word that I'm sayin'
Is the thought of a brand new woman
I've got to have you back
So that I can make you see
That I'm not foolin' around, baby
This is a brand [Incomprehensible]
And I really got to tell it
T E L L L L L L L, yeah
And make you understand
That Miss Ree ain't playin' this time
Ooh, baby this is for real
Yeah, you've got to understand me
That love ain't playin' this time
Really, this is for real, sure for real
You gotta understand me
This is, now, this is, hit it now
Huh, you know life is funny when you look at it
Everybody wants love
But everybody's afraid of love
You know, I'm a true believer
If you get anything out of life
You got to put up with the toil and strife
Ooh You're pushin' my love
A little bit too far
I don't think you know
I don't think you know how blest you are
And your friend Annie May tell you all she see
Have you, ever thought she was tryin' to get close to me
Think it over, think it over, girl, think it over
That's the way I feel about 'cha
That's the way I feel about 'cha
I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind
I know you've been hurt and so have many others too
But that's the sacrifice that life put you thru
Put you thru, put you thru
Trust in me, my dear, have no fear
You don't know but God might have sent me here, sent me here
Think it over, think it over, girl, think it over
That's the way I feel about 'cha
(Any of us can leave for a long adventure)
That's the way I feel about 'cha
Don't take my love as a sign of weakness
Check into the situation, girl
Dig a little deeper
Think it over, think it over, girl, think it over
That's the way I feel about 'cha
You're walkin' along the street, or you're at a party,
Or else you're alone and then you suddenly dig,
You're looking' in someone's eyes, you suddenly realize
That this could be the start of something big.
You're lunching at twenty-one and watchin' your diet,
Declining a charlotte russe, accepting a fig,
When out of a clear blue sky, it's suddenly gal and guy,
And this could be the start of something big.
There's no controlling the unrolling of your fate, my friend,
Who knows what's written in the magic book.
But when a lover you discover at the gate my friend,
Invite her in without a second look.
You're up in an aeroplane or dining at sardi's,
Or lying at malibu alone on the sand,
You suddenly hear a bell, and right away you can tell
That this could be the start of something grand.
This could be the start of something very big,
Why don't you play your part?
Please give your heart to me....and see.
This could be the start of something wonderful,
Why don't you take a chance?
Just try romance with me....and see.
Your watchin' the sun come up and countin' your money,
Or else in a dim cafe you're ordering wine,
Then suddenly there he is, and you wanna be where he is,
And this must be the start of something...
This could be the heart of something...
Ooh, hang all the mistletoe
I'm gonna get to know you better this Christmas
And as we trim the tree
How much fun it's gonna be together this Christmas
Oh, the fireside is blazing bright
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas
Will be a, a very special Christmas for me, yeah, yeah
Oh, presents and cards are here
My world is filled with cheer and you, this Christmas
And as I look around
Your eyes outshine the town, they do, this Christmas
The fireside is blazing bright
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas
Will be a, a very special Christmas for me, yeah, ooh
Merry Christmas
Shake your hand, shake your hand, yeah, ooh
Oh, the fireside is blazing bright
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas
Will be a very special Christmas for me, oh
Shake your hand, shake your hand, yeah
Do you feel [Incomprehensible]all over the world
Shake your hand, shake your hand, yeah
This bitter earth
What fluted passed
What good is love
That no one wants to share
And if my life is like the dust
That haunts the rose
Tell me what good am I
Heaven only knows
Well I found it can be so cold
Today oh
And before you know it
Too soon you've grown old
But while a voice within me cries
Someone may answer my call
And this bitter earth

Starlight, star bright, falling star that I'm seein' tonight
Time is rollin' on and I, I'm the one who's wrong
I'm the one should be movin' on, oh babe
A heart can only stand so much
It needs to touch someone, someone
So, it's up to you, do you love me too?
I get so confused when you throw excuses my way, oh baby
I need your love to hang on, please tell me that love ain't gone forever
(There's a star for everyone who's lost)
Where is my rainbow, where is my sunny day?
(There's a star for everyone who's lost)
Where is the fantasy, who took the dream away?
(There's a star for everyone)
Where is my star, who took the dream away?
Baby, every word you say always seems touché
So that I'll be makin' my way back to you
Please tell me this love for you is really shared by two
(There's a star for everyone who's lost)
Where is my rainbow, where is my sunny day
(There's a star for everyone who's lost)
Where is the fantasy, who took my dream away
(There's a star for everyone)
Where is my star? Who took the dream, who took the dream away?
Tried to find the reasons, patience wears thin
I tried to slow the seasons
But I know some day I will win, I will win
There's a star for everyone who's lost
There's a star for everyone who's lost
There's a star for everyone
Where is my rainbow, where is my sunny day?
Who took my star away, who took the dream?
Where is my rainbow, where is my sunny day?
Who took my star away, who took the dream?
Where is my rainbow, where is my sunny day?
Who took my star away, who took the dream?
Where is my rainbow, where is my sunny day?
Who took my star away, who took the dream?
(There is) No Greater Love
by Aretha Franklin
There is no greater love
Than what I feel for you
No greater love, no heart so true
There is no greater thrill
Than what you bring to me
No sweeter song
Than what you sing to me
You're the sweetest thing
I have ever known
And to think that you are mine alone
There is no greater love
In all the world, it's true
No greater love
Each time I hold someone new
My arms grow cold aching for you
No one can take your place
Darling in my embrace
I'll never be free
And when my lips burn with desire
No other kiss puts out the fire
Though I may try and try
No one can satisfy this longing in me
I'll never be free from your smile so tender
The sweet surrender in your eyes
How can I be free when I still remember
How you could thrill me with a sigh
Just like a chain bound to my heart
Your love remains when we're apart
Each kiss I gave to you
Made me a slave to you
I pulled into Nazareth
I was feelin' 'bout a half past dead
(Dead)
I just need some place
Where I can lay my head
(Head)
Hey mister can you tell me
Where a girl might find a bed?
(Can ya tell me?)
He just grinned and shook my hand
And "No" was all he said
Take a load off Fannie
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fannie
Then hey-yeah-yeah
Put the weight on me
I picked up my bag
I went lookin' for a place to hide
When I saw comin' in the devil
Walkin' side by side
I said, "They're comin'
Come on let's go down town?"

Woke up this mornin? to a perfect day
I opened my window, heard a sparrow say
Positive thoughts are runnin? through my mind
Nothin? is wrong, feelin? real strong
?Cause a new day is comin?
The sun is shining
The sun is shining
The sun is shining
The sun is shining
The sun is shining, no clouds in view
Lovers are holdin? hands, the world?s brand new
Everybody?s smiling, summer?s comin? through
But the only thing that?s missing is you
Baby, baby, show me what do you do, when love is gone
You count your blessings and you move on
No, I ain't lonely, this ain't no sad song
There?s just one contradiction, I can?t stand to be alone
The sun is shining
The sun is shining
The sun is shining
The sun is shining
The sun is shining, no clouds in view
Lovers are holdin? hands, the world?s brand new
Everybody?s smiling, summer?s comin? through
But the only thing that?s missing is you
I see your smile through your photograph
The thing that you said still makes me laugh
Deep inside, I?m on the edge of tears
But I can?t be cryin?, sittin? around sighin?
Just ?cause you?re not here
The sun is shining, no clouds in view
Lovers are holdin? hands, the world?s brand new
Everybody?s smiling, summer?s comin? through
But the only thing that?s missing
The only thing that?s missing
The sun is shining, no clouds in view
Lovers are holdin? hands, the world?s brand new
Everybody?s smiling, summer?s comin? through
But the only thing that?s missing is you
The long and winding road, oh that leads to your door
Will never disappear, I’ve seen that road before, yeah
It always leads me here, leads me to your door
The wild and windy night that the rain, oh washed away
Has left a pool of tears crying for the day
Why leave me standing here, let me know the way
Many times I’ve been alone and many times I’ve cried
Anyhow you'll never know all the things that I have tried
Still it leads me back
To that long, yeah winding road
You left me standing here a long, long time ago, yeah
Don’t leave me standing here, lead me to your door
Many times I’ve been alone and many times I’ve cried
But anyhow you'll never know all the things that I have tried
Oh many times I’ve been alone and many times I’ve cried
But anyhow you'll never know all the things that I’ve tried
Many times I’ve been alone and many times I’ve cried
But anyhow you'll never know all the things that I’ve tried
The long winding road
Stopped my trying, oh yes I have
Stopped my trying, oh yes I have
This is the house that Jack built, y'all
Remember this house
This was the land that he worked by hand
It was the dream of an upright man
There was a room that was filled with love
It was a love that I was proud of
This was a life of a love that I planned
Of a love and same old love
Of the house that Jack built
Remember this house
There was the fence that held our love
There was the gate that he walked out of
This is my heart, it is turned to stone
This is the house, it ain't no home
This is the love that I destroyed
In a dream that I thought was love
In the house that jack built
I'm gonn' remember this house
Oh, ohh, what's the use of crying?
You know I brought it on myself, there's no denying
But it seems awful funny that I didn't understand
Until I lost my upright man
Up on the hill
There's a big plan still
In the house that Jack built
Before I remember this house
Listen, I got the house, I got the car
I got the rug, I got the rack
But I ain't got Jack
And I want my Jack back
I turned my back on Jack
He said he wasn't coming back
I turned my back on Jack
He said he wasn't coming back
Ohh, Jack
You ought to come on back
Ohh, Jack
You ought to come on back
To the one that you built
Is the same one you built
You ought to come on back, baby
Oh come back
I didn't understand till I lost my upright man
Come on back, Jack,
That's life, that's what all the people say.
You're riding high in April,
Shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune,
When I'm back on top, back on top in June.
I said that's life, and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks,
Stompin' on a dream
But I don't let it, let it get me down,
'Cause this fine ol' world it keeps spinning around
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn and a queen.
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing:
Each time I find myself, flat on my face,
I pick myself up and get back in the race.
That's life
I tell ya, I can't deny it,
I thought of quitting baby,
But my heart just ain't gonna buy it.
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try,
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn and a king.
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing:
Each time I find myself laying flat on my face,
I just pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life
That's life and I can't deny it
Many times I thought of cutting out
But my heart won't buy it
But if there's nothing shakin' come this here july
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
Our little love slowly grows and grows
Not one that comes and goes
That's all I want from you
A sunny day with hopes up to the sky
Another day that comes and dies
That's all I want from you
Don't let me down, oh show me that you care
Remember when you give, you always get your share
Don't let me down, I have no time to wait
Tomorrow might not come, when dreamers dream too late
Our little love slowly grows and grows
Not one that comes and goes
That's all I want from you
A sunny day with hopes up to the sky
Another day that comes and dies
That's all I want from you
Don't let me down, oh show me that you care
Remember when you give, you always get your share
Don't let me down, I have no time to wait
Tomorrow might not come, when dreamers dream too late
Our little love slowly grows and grows
Not one that comes and goes
I talked to you today,
we've loved each other
For so long
in that special way
And if circumstances
should keep us apart
I just want to you to know
That you will remain forever
here in my heart
Sweet
Sweet bitter love
Sweet
Sweet bitter love
The taste
still lingers
Going through
my helpless
fingers
You slipped away
Sweet bitter love
Sweet
Sweet bitter love
Sweet
Sweet bitter love
What joy you told me
What pain you've
brought me
So sure is day
You slipped away
Sweet bitter love
Sweet
Sweet bitter love
Sweet
Sweet bitter love
Sweet
Sweet bitter love
Sweet
Sweet bitter love
My magic dreams
Have lost
their spells
And that was lost
There's an
empty shell
Sweet bitter love
Sweet bitter love
Sweet
Sweet bitter love
Sweet
Sweet bitter love
What have you awaken
And then forsaken
A trusting
heart like mine
Ooh like mine
Sweet bitter love
Sweet bitter love
In the middle
of the night
I want your
sweet sweet
sweet
Sweet bitter love
Sweet bitter love
Sweet
Sweet bitter love
Sweet
Sweet bitter love
Sweet
Sweet bitter love
Sweet
Sweet bitter love
Sweet
Sweet bitter love
Sweet
Sweet bitter love
Sweet
Sweet bitter love
Sweet
Sweet bitter love
Sweet
Sweet bitter love
Sweet
Sweet bitter love
Sweet
Sweet bitter love
You slipped away
Sweet
Sweet bitter love
Sweet bitter love
Sweet
Summertime....and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'...and the cotton is high
Yo' daddy's rich...and yo' mama's good-lookin'
So hush little baby......don't you cry
One of these mornin's..you gonna rise up singin'
You gonna spread your little wings...and you'll take to the sky
But 'till that mornin'...there ain't nothin' gonna harm you
With yo mama and daddy...standin' bye
(instrumental break)
Now it's summertime....and the livin' is easy
Them fish are jumpin'...and the cotton's 'bout waist high
Yo' daddy's rich...and, ya know yo' mama's good-lookin'
Now hush little baby......don't....you cry
Summertime....
I sparkle, loving the way that I do
It is true I feel so good just having you
Breathlessly and eager, submission isn't easy for me
We were so loving wasn't we? I'd always known it could be
Don't want to do nothing, tied against your will
This ain't no cheap thrill, you got to know just how it feel
If you think your going to fall, all you have to do is call
I have nothing in myself and I give myself to you
Say child tingle sparkle, I hope the love never breaks away
Fire burning everyday and save all the warmth for you
Just want you to know when the jealous issues
Understand there will be no other man but you baby
You can believe this love in me as I believe
And when times are low and I am really on your mind
Everybody needs some time, something funky good and kind
And you always seem to please me and you wear me down so easy
Good work is never done until the morning comes
Just want you to know when the jealous issues
Understand there will be no other man but you baby
You can believe this love in me as I believe in you
Don't want to do nothing, tied against your will
This ain't no cheap thrill, you got to know just how it feel
And if you think your going to fall, all you have to do is call
I have nothing in myself and I give myself to you
And when times are low and I am really on your mind
Everybody needs some time, something funky good and kind
Breathlessly and eager, you got me round your finger
A sparkle with the fire, you always take me higher
You always seem to please me, you wear me down so easy
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la
There's a rose in a lack and Spanish Harlem
A rose in a lack and Spanish Harlem
It is a special one, it's never seen the sun
It only comes out when the moon is on the run
And all the stars are gleaming
It's growing in the street right up through the concrete
But soft, sweet and dreamin'
There's a rose in a Spanish Harlem
A rose in a lack and Spanish Harlem
With eyes as black as coal that look down in my soul
And starts a fire there and then I lose control
I have to beg your pardon, yeah
He's going to pick that rose and watch her as she grows in his garden
There's a rose in a Spanish Harlem
A rose in a lack and Spanish Harlem
With eyes as black as coal that look down in my soul
And starts a fire there and then I lose control
I have to beg your pardon
He's going to pick that rose and watch her as she grows in his garden
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la

In my soul serenade, in my soul serenade
Everyone but you adores me
But do you know pretty soon they bore me
Let me tell you right now that they bore me
They bore me with their pretty little words
Those pretty little words of devotion
But oh, let me tell you right now
My message to 'em this evening
Is they can jump in anybody's ocean
Because only you hear my soul
My soul serenade, my soul serenade
Billy Ray was a preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they gathered around the party talkin'
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
Through the back yard we'd go walkin'
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows to my surprise
The only one who could ever reach me
(Was the son of a preacher man)
The only boy who could ever teach me
(Was the son of a preacher man)
Yes he was, yeah he was, oh he was, hey
(Halleluiah, halleluiah, halleluiah)
Bein' good isn't always easy
No matter how hard the try
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
He'd kiss and tell me "Everything is all right"
Baby baby everything is all right
Can I sneak away again tonight now?
The only one who could ever reach me
(Was the son of a preacher man)
I tell you that the only boy who could ever teach me
(Was the son of a preacher man)
Yes he was, yeah he was, oh he was
(Halleluiah, halleluiah, halleluiah)
How well I remember
The look that was in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
Takin' time to make time
Tellin' me that he's all of mine now
Learnin' from each other's knowin'
Lookin' to see how much we've grown and
The only boy who could ever reach me
(Was the son of a preacher man)
I tell you that the only boy who could ever teach me
(Was the son of a preacher man)
Yes he was, yeah he was, oh he was, halleluiah
(Halleluiah, halleluiah, halleluiah)
Halleluiah
(Son of a preacher boy, halleluiah)
Halleluiah
(Son of a preacher boy, halleluiah)
Halleluiah
(Son of a preacher boy, halleluiah)
Halleluiah
(Son of a preacher boy, halleluiah)
He is the only boy, yes he is, who could ever reach me
(Son of a preacher boy)
He is the only boy who could teach me
you know I love you baby from A to Z
Something about you keep on worried me
sometimes you love me and sometimes you don't
Sometime you will and sometime you wont
Because you're so swell baby when you're well
So swell baby when you're well
So swell when you're well
But you just stay at sick so long
Keep on connivin' and jivin' too
True love will never smile on you
You walked the floor just sit and cry
Pull out your hair and wonder why
Because you're so swell baby when you're well
So swell mama when you're well
So swell baby when you're well
But you just stay at sick so long
So swell baby when you're well
You so swell mama when you're well
So swell baby when you're well
But you just stay at sick so long
Yeah you're so swell baby when you're well
You build me up then you let me down

If you love me like you said you do
How come you treat me like you do do do
Because you're so swell baby when you're well
So swell mama when you're well
So swell baby when you're well
My love
Oh baby, my love
It's always been you
You make me so damn happy
I thought I knew who you were
Oh, but after twice around
I can say exactly
Of course this is love
And I never say
I didn't care about you
You sweet thing
But you can't pretend
The serious burn
That I feel in my heart, and there it's
A wedding ring, oh
I got to get over you
Its so hard
Youre my everything
Baby, when I think of us when
It's in the tea leaves
That we won't get our turn
You can't always have
What you want
You have to take the bitter
With the sweet
I'm a big girl
And I know what I want
Three nights in your arms would be
A super treat
Got to tell me baby
Got to get over you
But it's so hard
Because you're my every, everything
When I think about us when
I know it's in the tea leaves
And we won't get our turn
Oh baby
Oh baby
Hey boy
So damn happy
Babe, it's always been you
Oh baby
I'm so happy with my baby
Hey boy, I'm so damn happy
Yes, always with you
Hey boy, I'm so damn happy
I remember the moment
Yeah, baby
Yeah, boy
Forget about it
Baby, no one could have told me
How could they have told me
When they didn't know?
I'd sit down and cry, baby
I'd sit down and cry, baby
Sit down and cry my heart out
Over you, oh
No one, no one could have warned me
That you would scar me yeah
And hurt me so bad
And that I'd sit down and cry, baby
I'd sit down and cry, baby
I'd sit down and cry my heart out
Over you
Oh, who would ever believe?
That lips sweet as yours
Sweeter than the honey
From the bees
Tell, who would ever believe?
That those same sweet lips
Would lie, lie like
Lie like you lied to me, yeah
Baby, no one, no one could ever told me
I wouldn't hear it
That you would have sold me, yeah
Down the river so fast
And that I'd sit down and cry, baby
I'd sit down and cry, baby, yeah
I'd sit down and cry my heart out
Over you
Yes I will, yeah, I will sit down and cry, baby
I will sit down and cry, baby
Sit down and cry my heart out
Heart out over you, yes I would
Baby baby, sweet baby
There's something that I just got to say
Baby baby, sweet baby
You left me hurtin' in a real cold way
Speak your name
And I feel a thrill
You said I do
And I said I will
I tell you that just be true
and give me just a little time
Wait on me baby,
I want you to be all mine
I just get so blue
Since you?ve been gone, baby
(why?d you do it? why?d you have to do it?)
Since you?ve been gone
(why?d you do it? why?d you have to do it?)
(bridge)
Baby baby, sweet baby
I didn't mean to run you away
It was pride on my lips,
But not in my heart
To say the things that lead you to stray
But ah, me
Hear me now
(hear me)
I don't know what I'm gonna do
(hear me)
Got to get you back somehow
(hear me now)
I'm praying
Take me back,
consider me please
If you walk in that door,
I can get up off my knees
I've just been so blue
Since you've been gone
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
Since you've been gone
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
Well I've been so lonely
(sweet sweet - sweet sweet baby)
Baby, since you've been gone
(sweet sweet - sweet sweet baby)
I've been so lonely
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
Since you've been gone
(why'd you'do it? why'd you have to do it?)
Baby baby baby been so lonely
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing alleluia
Christ, the Saviour is born
It's an evil wind
That blows no good, yeah
It's a sad heart
That won't love like I know it should
Oh how lonesome
(Oh how lonesome)
You must be
(You must be)
It's a shame
(Shame, shame)
If you don't share your love with me
It's a heartache, yeah
(It's a heartache)
When love is gone
(Baby it's a heartache)
But it's bad
(Bad)
And even sad
(Sad)
Oh later on
And there's no one blinder
Than you won't see
It's a shame
(Shame, shame)
If you don't share some of your love with me
I can't help it, oh no
He is gone
I must try to forget
Because I've got to live on
Oh, it's a good thing it's a sweet thing
(It's a sweet thing)
To love someone
(Such a sweet thing)
But it's bad
(Bad)
And even sad
(Sad)
When it's not returned
Oh, how lonesome, how lonesome, how lonesome
(Oh how lonesome)
You must be
(You must be)
I tell you it would be a shame
(Shame, shame)
A shame if you don't share your love with me
(Share your love with me)
It would really be a mistake baby
(Shame, shame)
If you don't share your love with me
(Share your love with me)
It would sure be a shame
(Shame, shame)
If you don't share, share your love with me
Your kisses take me to Shangri-La
Each kiss is magic that makes my little world a Shangri-La
A land of bluebirds and fountains and nothing to do
But cling to an angel that looks like you
And when you hold me, how warm you are
Be mine, my darling, and spend your life with me in Shangri-La
For anywhere you are is Shangri-La
Your kisses take me to Shangri-La
Each kiss is magic that makes my little world a Shangri-La
A land of bluebirds and fountains and nothing to do
But cling to an angel that looks like you
And when you hold me, how warm you are
Be mine, my darling, and spend your life with me in Shangri-La
Sometimes you love me
Like a good man ought to
Sometimes you hurt me so bad
My tears run like water
You get me up
Right before your friends
Then you disown me baby
Until we're alone again
Your love is like a see saw
Your love is like a see saw, baby
Your love is like a see saw
Goin' up and down, all around
It's like a see saw
Sometimes ya tell me
Ya don't need my sweet candy man
And then sometimes baby
I don't know where I stand
You lift me up
When I'm on the ground
But as soon as I get up top
You send me tumblin' down
Now your love is like a see saw
Your love is like a see saw, baby
Your love is like a see saw
Goin up, down, all around
Just like a see saw
When I kiss you and I like it
And I ask you to kiss me again
When I reach for you
Ya jump clean out of sight
You change just like the wind
That ain't right
That ain't right
That ain't right
That ain't right baby
Your love is like a see saw
Your love is like a see saw, baby
Your love is like a see saw
Goin' up, goin' down, goin' all around
It's like a see saw
Your love is like a see saw
Your love is like a see saw, baby
Your love is like a see saw
Goin' up, down, all around
Where are you tonight?
Are you lonely like I am, tonight?
Have we lied to each other about this affair?
If so, don't make me suffer, just tell me you still care
Have you cried tears like I have at all?
And do you wonder as I do, should I call?
I'll hurt for a lifetime not knowing my fate
Is there still any hope here or am I too late?
I wonder, I wonder
Where are you tonight?
Are you painting the town while I just sit around?
It's so wrong when you know our love is so right
Have you cried tears like I have at all?
And do you wonder as I do, should I call?
I'll hurt for a lifetime not knowing my fate
Is there still any hope here or am I too late?
I wonder, I wonder
Where are you tonight?
I wonder, I wonder
I can't get no satisfaction,
I can't get no satisfaction.
'cause I try and I try and I try and I try.
I can't get no, I can't get no.
When I'm drivin' in my car
And that man comes on the radio
And he's tellin' me more and more
About some useless information
Supposed to fire my imagination.
I can't get no, oh no no no.
Hey hey hey, that's what I say.
I can't get no satisfaction,
I can't get no satisfaction.
'cause I try and I try and I try and I try.
I can't get no, I can't get no.
When I'm watchin' my tv
And that man comes on to tell me
How white my shirts can be.
Well he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke
The same cigarrettes as me.
I can't get no, oh no no no.
Hey hey hey, that's what I say.
I can't get no satisfaction,
I can't get no girl with action.
'cause I try and I try and I try and I try.
I can't get no, I can't get no.
When I'm ridin' round the world
And I'm doin' this and I'm signing that
And I'm tryin' to make some girl
Who tells me baby better come back later next week
'cause you see I'm on a losing streak.
I can't get no, oh no no no.
Hey hey hey, that's what I say.
I can't get no, I can't get no,
I can't get no satisfaction,
Rock, rock, rock....
It's time to jam, y'all
Freaks, get up against the wall
And let's rock, hey
Ooh, ooh, yeah
No longer will I do all
The things that I used to do
Stood by your side in innocence
For my love was just for you
Well, I'm a big girl now
With big needs and desires
So don't you come around
If you can't take me higher
I like to rock a lot
Throw my love away
On on only one boy
I like to rock a lot
That's how it is of lately
Hey, hey, yeah
I like to rock a lot
I'll take a path and stay
Yes, I will now
I like to rock a lot
Big boy, ooh
Rock, rock, rock....
Oh, yeah, I like to party
Yeah, ooh...
I think it's my turn this time
Not a soul gets by
Games never had no place with me
Jamming is my concern
Just give me one good man
To keep me satisfied
Have you gone underground
And if so, where will you hide
Sweet thing, hey
I like to rock a lot
Throw my love away
On on only one
I like to rock a lot
That's how it is of lately
Yeah, baby
I like to rock a lot
Take a path and stay. oh, baby
I like to rock a lot
Big boy, I am, ooh
Rock, rock, rock....
It's time to rock with Rebe
Yes, it is
Rocking is my soul's desire
And I'm gonna set you on fire
Oh, oh, oh....
I like to rock a lot
Throw my love away, oh, baby
I like to rock a lot
That's how it is of lately
Oh, yes, it is now
I like to rock a lot
Take a path and stay, oh, yeah
I like to rock a lot
Big boy, yeah, ooh, ooh, yeah
Rock, rock, rock...
Step on the funk now
Well, well
Freeze the funk, y'all
I tried to warn you
I tried to warn you
Yeah, yeah...
Rock, rock, rock....
I like it, I like it

Oh pitiful
Feel so sorry for me
Pitiful
It's pitiful
Feel so sorry for me
Though you dont' love me you see
You still won't set me free
Oh set me free
I wonder why I wondered why you do me like you do
I wonder why you do me like you do
When you know that I love you baby
And you know I wouldn't do it to you
No no
It looks like it makes you happy
Just to see me cry
Please have mercy on this
Vacant heart of mine
You're trying to see how mean you can be
I would do my dog better that the way you do me
Pitiful
Feel so sorry for myself
Pitiful
Feel so sorry for myself
When you know that you dont' want me baby
I knew you’d be a vision in white
How d’ya get your pants so tight
Don’t know what you’re doing
But you must be living right, yeah
Oh we got some places to see
How ‘bout a romance with me
Jump in, it ain’t no sin
Take a ride in my machine, yeah
City traffic’s moving way too slow
Drop the pedal and go, go, go
We’re going riding on the freeway
Oh no, we can’t stop now
We’re going riding on the freeway
Gonna love in my pink Cadillac
Well we’re riding on the freeway
Oh lord, we can’t stop that
Yeah we’re riding on the freeway
Gonna love in my pink Cadillac
Whether you mind the exercise
We’ve got lots of time
We can’t quit til we get to the other side
Ah ha, ah ha, with the radio playing a song
We keep rolling on
To lose how far can’t we get
Before you think about love turned down, yeah
City traffic’s moving way too slow
Drop the pedal and go, go, go
We’re going riding on the freeway
Oh no, we can’t stop now
We’re going riding on the freeway
Gonna love in my pink Cadillac
We’re going riding on the freeway
Yeah we’re riding on the freeway
Gonna love in my pink Cadillac
Here we go
So drop the top, baby
And let’s cruise on into
This better-than-ever street
City traffic’s moving way too slow
Drop the pedal and go, go, go
We’re going riding on the freeway
Oh no, we can’t stop now
We’re going riding on the freeway
I believe
I believe
I believe
I do believe
People get ready, there's a train comin'
You don't need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin'
You don't need no ticket, you just thank the Lord
People get ready, there's a train to Jordan
Is picking up passengers coast to coast
Faith is the key, open the doors and board them
There's hope for all among His loved the most
I believe
I believe
I believe
I do believe
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Whom would hurt all mankind just to save his own
Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner
For there is no hiding place against the Kingdom's throne
People get ready, there's a train comin'
You don't need no ticket, we'll just get on board
All you need is faith to hear those diesels hummin'
People,
People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world
Were children needing other children
And yet letting our grown-up pride
Hide all the need inside
Acting more like children than children
Lovers
Are very special people
Theyre the luckiest people in the world
With one person,
One very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you are half now youre whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People, people who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world.
With one person
One very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you are half now youre whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People, people who need people
When all the world is a hopeless jumble
And the raindrops tumble all around
Heaven opens a magic lane
When all the clouds darken up the sky way
There's a rainbow highway to be found
Leading from your windowpane to a place behind the sun
Just a step beyond the rain
Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true
Some day I'll wish upon a star and
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow, why then, oh why can't I?
Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true
Some day I'll wish upon a star and
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
Let us all (all go back)

When my friends told me you had someone new,
I didn't believe a single word was true.
I told them all I had faith in you.
I kept right on sayin':
Oh, no, not my baby.
Oh, no, not my sweet baby.
You're not like all those other girls
who play with man's hearts like they were toys.
My mama told me, "Son,when rumors spread
that there is truth somewhere
and you should use your head."
But I sure didn't listen to what she said;
don't you know I kept right on sayin':
Oh, no, not my baby.
Oh, no, not my sweet baby.
You're not like all those other girls
who lead you on and tell you lies, no, not my baby.
Tell me, baby,
I don't believe what they're sayin', no.
Oh, no, not my baby.
Oh no, not my sweet baby.
Oh, no, not my baby.
Oh no, not my sweet baby.
Not my baby, not my baby
not my baby, not my baby, not my baby
not my, not my sweet, sweet baby.
Not my baby, not my baby
not my baby, not my baby, not my baby
not my, not my sweet, sweet baby.
Not my baby, not my baby,
not my baby, not my sweet, sweet baby.
Oh, no, not my baby.
Oh no, not my sweet baby.
To make you laugh, I would be a fool for you
Although the people turn and stare
I really don't care
I would give my everything to keep you, boy
It breaks my heart when you've not there
I'll stage a ballet on a tabletop
Command performance finger size, yeah yeah
And although I ain't got no tune
My show ain't gonna fly
I'll find the music there in your eyes
Oh me, oh my
I'm a fool for you, baby
(Baby now)
(Fool for you)
Oh me oh my
I am crazy
(Crazy baby)
Oh me, oh my
(Me, oh my)
Yeah, I'm a fool for ya, baby
C'mon let your love light shine on me
(Shine on me)
We'll blow a genie from a cigarette
And then we'll take a magic carpet ride
Yes, we will
And we'll tell our smoky friend, hey don't you forget
Because you've got to keep us side by side, yeah
Oh me, oh my
(Me, oh my)
I am a fool for ya baby
(Be your)
(Your fool for ya)
Oh me, oh my
You know that I am crazy baby

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree

O tannenbaum, o tannenbaum,
How lovely are thy branches.
I've looked around all over town
And I'm so lonely and so blue
I've looked around and all over
But I can't find nobody like you, you, you, yeah
Now, it's all so lonely since you went away
And I don't know what to do
I've looked around all over, over
I just can't find nobody, nobody like you
Tears seem to fall when I'm away, oh, when I'm away from you
And I've tried to understand the reason why
And now I know it's all, it's all because I love you, I love you so much
My heart is yours until the day that I die
And oh, why don't you hold me
Hold me and never, never let me go?
Why don't you, why don't you love me, love me
And vanish all thoughts of sorrow?
It's funny how we've wasted our time
On so-called friends who are really not on our side
We've always got something to say about us
And how we are spending our days
They're trying to confuse us with their lies and deceit
But they don't really care if we live or die on these streets
But you and I we both know the truth
That we will prevail as long as God sees us through
No matter what they do you need to love me
I ain't out there cheatin' on you, you need to trust me
Wanna see you happy, never blue
You need to love me and just love me and just love me
No matter what your friends are telling you, you need to love me
'Cause from me you'll always hear the truth, you need to trust me
I ain't mad at you for being you, you need to love me
'Cause I love you, so just love me
I wish that they would leave us alone and let us be together
Boy, you can't fall victim to those fools telling you whatever
You hear about me on the streets and it'll only make you weak
And put a damper on our situation
They're trying to tear down our foundation
Sick and tired of hateration
But we gone make it as long as we stay patient
No matter what they do, you need to love me
I ain't out there cheatin' on you, you need to trust me
Wanna see you happy, never blue
You need to love me and just love me and just love me
No matter what your friends are telling you, you need to love me
'Cause from me you'll always hear the truth, you need to trust me
I ain't mad at you for being you, you need to love me
'Cause I love you, so just love me
Why do we waste away our lives playing simple games
Telling silly lies
How far will they go till they realize
What goes around comes around
We got a love you can't break down
No matter what they do you need to love me
I ain't out there cheatin' on you, you need to trust me
Wanna see you happy, never blue
You need to love me and just love me and just love me
No matter what your friends are telling you, you need to love me
'Cause from me you'll always hear the truth, you need to trust me
I ain't mad at you for being you, you need to love me
'Cause I love you, so just love me
No matter what they do you need to love me
I ain't out there cheatin' on you, you need to trust me
Wanna see you happy, never blue
You need to love me and just love me and just love me
No matter what your friends are telling you, you need to love me
'Cause from me you'll always hear the truth, you need to trust me
I ain't mad at you for being you, you need to love me
'Cause I love you, so just love me
No matter what they do you need to love me
I ain't out there cheatin' on you, you need to trust me
Wanna see you happy, never blue
You need to love me and just love me and just love me
No matter what your friends are telling you, you need to love me
'Cause from me you'll always hear the truth, you need to trust me
I ain't mad at you for being you, you need to love me

And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, Ill say it clear,
Ill state my case, of which Im certain.
Ive lived a life thats full.
Ive traveled each and evry highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Regrets, Ive had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Yes, there were times, Im sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.
Ive loved, Ive laughed and cried.
Ive had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.
To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
No, oh no not me,
I did it my way.
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
You told me that you would leave me here in tears
Now you're gone and hours seem like years
So darling, I sing my song
Your leaving makes my heart beat slow and slow
Now, I'm wondering where did you go
Please tell me, tell me what is wrong
I still love you, won't you please come back to me?
Come back where, where you ought to be
Don't stay away from me 'cause you'll always be my own
We'll be together for eternity
You told me that you would leave me here in tears
Now you're gone and hours seem like years
And you left me singing a song
I'm just singing a song
Nothing you could say could tear me away from my guy,
(My guy)
nothing you could do 'cause I'm stuck like glue to my guy.
(My guy)
I'm sticking to my guy like a stamp to a letter,
like birds of a feather we stick together,
I'm tellin' you from the start I can't be torn apart from my guy.
Nothing you could do could make me untrue to my guy,
(My guy)
nothing you could buy could make me tell a lie to my guy.
(My guy)
I gave my guy my word of honor to be faithful, and I'm gonna,
you best be believing I won't be deceiving my guy.
As a matter of opinion I think he's tops,
my opinion is he's the cream of the crop;
as a matter of taste to be exact he's my ideal as a matter of fact.
No muscle-bound man could take my hand from my guy.
(My guy)
No handsome face could ever take the place of my guy.
(My guy)
He may not be a movie star, but when it comes to bein' happy we are.
There's not a man today who could take me away from my guy.
No muscle-bound man could take my hand from my guy.
(My guy)
No handsome face could ever take the place of my guy.
(My guy)
He may not be a movie star, but when it comes to bein' happy we are.
There's not a man today who could take me away from my guy.
(What you say, Tell me more)
No muscle-bound man could take my hand from my guy.
(My guy)
No handsome face could ever take the place of my guy.
(My guy)
Do you remember me? I sat upon your knee
And I wrote to you with childhood fantasies
Well, I'm all grown up now, still need help somehow
Not for myself but for a world, a world in need
No more lives torn apart
And wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And every man would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never ever, ever end
This is my grown up Christmas list
My Christmas list
As children we believe
The grandest sight we'd see
Was something pretty
Wrapped beneath the tree
And heaven only knows
That packages and bows
Could never, ever, ever heal
A human soul
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal, heal
All broken hearts
Every, everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown up Christmas list
What is this illusion
Called the innocence of youth
Maybe in our blind belief
We can only find the truth
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
Time, time would heal
All broken hearts
Everyone would have a friend
And love would never end
And right would always win
This is my grown up Christmas list
This is my lifelong wish
This is my grown up Christmas list
My grown up Christmas list
There I go, there I go, there I go
There I go,
Pretty baby, you are the soul who snaps my control
Such a funny thing but every time you're near me
I never can behave
You give me a smile and then I'm wrapped up in your magic
There's music all around me, crazy music
Music that keeps calling me so very close to you
Turns me your slave
Come and do with me any little thing you want to
Anything baby, just let me get next to you
Am I insane or do I really see heaven in your eyes?
Bright as stars that shine up above you in the clear blue skies
How I worry about you
Just can't live my life without you
Baby come here, don't have no fear
Oh, is there a wonder why
I'm really feeling in the mood for love?
So tell me why stop to think
About this weather, my dear?
This little dream might fade away
There I go talking out of my head again, oh baby
Won't you come and put our two hearts together?
That would make me strong and brave
Oh when we are one, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
If there's a cloud up above us
Go on and let it rain
I'm sure our love together will endure a hurricane
Oh my baby
Won't you please let me love you
And give a relief from this awful misery?
What is all this talk about loving me, my sweet?
I am not afraid, not anymore, not like before
Can't you understand me?
Now baby, please pull yourself together, do it soon
My soul's on fire, come on and take me
I'll be what you make me, my darling, my sweet
Oh baby, you make me feel so good
Let me take you by the hand
Come let us visit out there
In that new promised land
Maybe there we can find
A good place to use a loving state of mind
I'm so tired of being without
And never knowing what love's about
James Moody, you can come on in man
And you can blow now if you want to
Told my darling that I had to go
It's your body, I don't care no more
Although you had me, time to get along
Money won't change you, momey won't change you...
But time will take your own do
Then you know, how to be treated
Hold me, baby, tell the world
That you're my woman, my only girl
Money won't change you, money won't change you...
But time will take your own do
I know you're happy
To know you're happy, and to know you're gone
Money won't change you
Money won't change you, mama
I said, money won't change you
But time will take you own
I said, put a smile as good as gold
But that smile now can't be sold
You said, baby, that you had to go
Back to somebody, I don't care no more
Told your friends I was a fool
The trouble's, woman, that you've got to go through
Other lover won't take me home
I have a...
Even in the street, even in the car too
Mashed potatoes and boogaloo
C'mon baby and let yourself go...
It's your body, I don't care no more
C'mon baby, c'mon baby, everybody, everybody
Need your hand, need your hand
Let me tell you I, I, I...
Everybody have you heard?
He's gonna buy me a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird won't sing
He's gonna buy me a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring won't shine
He's gonna surely break this heart of mine
And that's why I keep on tellin' ev'rybody, sayin'
Wo, wo, wo, wo, wo
Hear me now and understand
He's gonna find me some peace of mind
And if that peace of mind won't stay
I'm gonna find myself a better way
And if that better way ain't so
I, I, I'll ride with the tide and go with the flow
And that's why I keep on shoutin' in your ear sayin'
Wo, wo, wo, wo, wo
Everybody have you heard?
She's gonna buy me a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird won't sing
She's gonna buy me a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring won't shine
She's gonna surely break this heart of mine
And that's why I keep on tellin' ev'rybody, sayin' no, no, no, no,no
Listen now and understand
She's gonna find me some peace of mind
And if that peace of mind won't stay
I'm gonna find myself a better way
I might rise above , I might go below
I, I, I'll ride with the tide and go with the flow
And that's why I keep on shoutin' in your ears y'all
Oh, it's been such a long, long time
Looked like I’d get you off of my mind
But I can’t, just the thought of you
Turns my whole world misty blue
Oh honey, just the mention of your name
Turns the flicker to a flame
Listen to me good, baby, I think of the things we used to do
And my whole world turns misty blue
Oh baby, I should forget you
Heaven knows I’ve tried
But baby, when I say that I’m glad we're through
Deep in my heart I know I’ve lied
I’ve lied, I’ve lied
Oh honey, it's been such a long, long time
Looked like I’d get you off of my mind
But I can’t, just the thought of you, my love
My whole world turns misty blue
Oh, oh I can’t, oh I can’t, oh I can’t’ forget you
My whole world turns misty blue
Oh, oh my love
My whole world turns misty blue
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby I can’t forget you
Maybe I'm a fool for loving you so and
Maybe, maybe I'm a fool, I don't, I don't really know
But I can't, I can't stop loving you darling, oh yes
Though I tried, oh yes
And maybe, maybe your goodbye was so mean, so mean and unfair
Though you made me cry, my love's still there
And I know, I know that I'll long for your kisses, oh
Until I die, oh yes until I die
Well, I said all of my friends, all of my friends have told me
They said, "Aretha, why don't you find
You really need to find somebody new", yeah, oh oh yeah
But what they don't know
What they just don't know is in my heart
I'd be wishing, oh, that that someone was you
So, oh, it's all for you to decide
If you should decide to trap me once more
All you got to do, all you got to do is knock on my door
And I'll say, I'll say that I've taken you back
Yeah, taking you back would be foolish
Then maybe, oh, maybe I'm a fool
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sunshine blue skies please go away
The girl has found another and gone away.
With her went my future my life is filled with gloom
So day after day I stay locked up in my room.
I know to you, it might sound strange but I wish it would rain,
'Cause so badly I wanna go outside
But everyone knows that a man ain't supposed to cry
Listen, I gotta cry 'cause crying eases the pain,
Oh yeah, people this hurt I feel inside.
Words could never explain, I just wish it would rain.
Day in day out my tear-stained face
Pressed against the window pain,
My eyes search the skies desperately for rain,
'Cause rain-drops will hide my tear -drops
And no one will ever know that I'm crying,
Crying when I go outside.
To the world outside my tears,
I refuse to explain, oh I wish it would rain,
let it rain, let it rain.
I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes.
Oh, Let it rain.
I'm a man and I got my pride
One look in your eyes
Baby, just turns me on
So inviting to me
You know, I feel that they're my home
(Darling, reach out just for me)
And darlin', I had to surrender
With no sense of pride
Your touch from behind
On my shoulder, so tender
(The deepness of your eyes)
Oh, I can't stop lovin' you, baby
(The devious of your eyes)
I feel your lov-ing, all the time it was, your fate
(The deepness of your eye)
*The wheel of fate and fortunes standing
For a long appointed date, hey-hey (fool ya)
People say that the eye just opens
And may mirror the soul
Tell me, do we reflect the sameness as one
The unity to have and to hold?
(Darling, reach out just for me)
I tend our love in quiet seclusion
Only you can say
If this is love or just an illusion
(The deepness of your eyes)
Oh, I can't stop lovin' you, baby
(The deepness of your eye
I feel your lov-ing, all time we have (is dead)
(The deepness (deviousness) in your eyes)
The wheel of fate and fortunes standing
For a long appointed day-yeah-yeah
No, I can't stop lovin', the days we had
Oh Oh Mary
Oh Oh Mary
[Chorus]
Oh, Mary, don't you weep, don't you mourn.
Oh, Mary, don't you weep, don't you mourn.
Didn't Pharaoh's army get drowned?
Oh, Mary, don't you weep.
Well, Satan got mad and he knows I'm glad.
Missed that soul that he thought he had.
Now, didn't Pharaoh's army get drowned?
Oh, Mary, don't you weep.
[Chorus]
Well, one of these nights around twelve o'clock,
this old town's gonna really rock.
Didn't Pharaoh's army get drowned?
Oh, Mary, don't you weep.
[Chorus]
Cheer up, sisters and don't you cry.
There'll be good times bye and bye.
Didn't Pharaoh's army get drowned?
Oh, Mary, don't you weep.
There's a Rose
In a fisted Glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love
It's alright
Go ahead and love the one, love the one, love the one your
with
Love the one, love the one, love the one your with
If your guy can't come to you
And you don't remember who your talking to
Your concentration slips away
Because your baby, she is so so far away
Chorus: And there's a rose in a fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you cant be with the one you love
Love the one your with
Don't be angry
Don't be sad
Don't sit cryin' for good times you had
There's a girl right next to you
And she's waiting for something to do
Chorus
Do it
Do it
Do it
Turn your heartache into joy
She's a girl and your a boy
Get together, make it tonight,
You ain't gonna need no more advice
Chorus
[Intro]
Love me right (love me)

Love me right (love me right)
You got to do it to me right.
[Verse 1]
What could take the place of you?
Nothing in the whole world
You’ve been bad boy even though I’ve been a good girl
Well the point is I’m in love
And you’re not acting like you should
You have treated me so wrong
Treated me bad and that aint good, come on
[Chorus]
Love me right (love me right)
Make my body jump and shout tonight
You gotta love me right
Make me have to say oh me oh my

Take me to the highest kind of height,
You gotta love me right
Give me all you’ve got and don’t be jive,
Fight after fight, stay tonight, love me right
Love me right
[verse 2]
My friends can see that you are shady, well
You don’t treat me like a lady, uh uh
I used to ignore that information, about your reputation, bad
But you don’t leave me much choice,
It’s been so long since I heard your voice
Not another night will I
Let you walk leaving me to cry, come on
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I aint never gonna love no one who don’t love me right
If you keep treating me wrong you don’t love me right
Don’t be jive come on keep love alive, love me right
We can start real love tonight, come on and love me right
Love me right, jump and shout
Love me right, you’re quite a guy, dynamite
Love me right, highest kind of heights

A winding road, a heavy load

Looking for that special need
I?m so glad my search is over

If you want the thrill of love
I've been through the mill of love
Old love
New love
Everything but true love!
(Sam Dees)
I see myself in your face
A reflection of pain
Somebody made you
Cry over and over again
Still you and I made it
Through all of this for a reason
Yes, we did
Could it be that we created
Affair for all seasons
[Chorus:]
Cause you and I
Were meant to be lovers
The search is over for us
There's no other, we're
Finally at the rainbow's end
Baby, together, we'll mend
All the cracks in our heart
And love all the hurt away
Woman, you are the thing that I
Hoped and I prayed for
You give you love and I'm
Happy like never before
You be the strength and I'll
Be your shoulder to lean on
(You can lean on my shoulder)
Bulding a world, fill our
Whole place with love songs
[Chorus 2x]
Love all the hurt away
And love all the hurt away
Yes, we're gonna love
We're gonna love, baby
We're gonna love, love, ohhh
Love all the hurt away
If you look into your heart
With a positive mind
Take some inventory of your woman and your glory
Leave the bad things behind (ooh)
Everybodys got a story (yes they do)
About love and the good things
But all the spices of your life
You just got to pay the price
If you know what I mean (ooh yeah)

I know how a girl becomes some pride
When I finally found there was nothing left
I said I do believe I found myself
And I want to give it to you baby oh yes I do (yeah yeah)
So if you look into your heart
With a positive mind
You can take some inventory of your woman and your glory
Leave the bad things behind
And your woman really loves me we don't have that everyday (oh no no no)

Please don't be offended if I preach to you awhile,
Tears are out of place in eyes that were meant to smile.
There's a way to make your very biggest troubles small,
Here's the happy secret of it all.
Refrain:
Look for the silver lining
When e'er a cloud appears in the blue.
Remember some where the sun is shining,
And so the right thing to do,
Is make it shine for you.
A heart, full of joy and gladness,
Will always banish sadness and strife.
So always look for the silver lining,
And try to find the sunny side of life.
Verse 2
[Girl}
As I wash my dishes, I'll be following your plan,
Till I see the brightness in ev'ry pot and pan.
I am sure your point of view will ease the daily grind,
People workin' night and day
You need to take some time out to get away
Life is just a one way ride
There ain't no second chance that you can try
Can't you see all the fun is free?
So, come on out we're livin' in the streets tonight
Yeah, I know you sure feelin' low
It's time to get on up and steal the show
Leave your worries all behind
You've got to make your smile the bottom line
Can't you see all the fun is free?
So, come on out we're livin' in the streets tonight
Do just what you want to do, you know that you can try
Get the groove and take it to the sky, here on dancin' night
Can't you see all the fun is free?
So, come on out we're livin' in the streets tonight
Do just what you want to do, let no one pull you down
Join the party, people let it last, all night to party
Spread the feelin' through the land
We've got to share this action while we can
No more talkin', no more chat
We're gonna make this evenin' come alive
Can't you see all the fun is free?
So, come on out we're livin' in the streets tonight
Livin' in the streets tonight, livin' in the streets tonight

When i find myself in times of trouble
Mother mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.
And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. yeah
There will be an answer, let it be.
And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me,
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be,
The crowd sees me out dancing
Carefree and romancing
Happy with my someone new
I'm laughing on the outside
Crying on the inside
'cause i'm still in love with you
They see me night and daytime
Having such a gay time
They don't know what i go through
I'm laughing on the outside
Crying on the inside
'cause i'm still in love with you
No one knows it's just a pose
Pretending i'm glad we're apart
And when i cry, my eyes are dry
The tears are in my heart
My darling, can't we make up?
Ever since our breakup
Make believe is all i do
I'm laughing on the outside
Crying on the inside
'cause i'm still in love
There’s a very good reason
Why the holiday season
Is a wonderful time
For a boy and girl
To fall in love
‘Cause Santa and Cupid
Planed exactly what you did
When you kissed me by the mistletoe above
We stood there kissing by the mistletoe
Tingle, tingle (Tingle, tingle)
Mmmm and away we go
Jingle, jingle
Kissing by the mistletoe
Love came to stay
And now it's Christmas every day
(We stood there) kissing by the mistletoe
Tingle, tingle
Mmmm and away we go
Jingle, jingle
Kissing by the mistletoe
Love came to stay
And now it's Christmas every day
There is a heavenly treasure
More than money can measure
In the gift you get
When you give your love
And I can tell (kiss, kiss)
‘Cause whenever it’s Christmas
If I never get this much
He ran my heart I remember very well
We stood there kissing by the mistletoe
Tingle, tingle
Mmmm and away we go
Jingle, jingle
Kissing by the mistletoe
Love came to stay
And now it's Christmas every day
I said
And now it's Christmas every day
Ooh, yeah
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him and listen for a while
And there he was this young boy
A stranger to my eyes
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters
And read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish
But he just kept right on
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
He sang as if he knew me
In all my dark despair
And then he looked right through me
As if I wasn't there
And he just kept on singing
Singing clear and strong
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
You wanna feel somethin' so sweet and funky
Boy, you can feel it, feel it floatin' through your soul
The sooner you show up, baby
The sooner you'll have a groove of me to hold on, hold on
But you gotta come and see me, baby
'Cause what I got is too much for me to send to you
I want you, would you come on and see me, baby
Because what I, what I got is too much for me to send to you
Now, what I'm gon' do is hold it right here on hot ice
Mister, can you pay the price of the postage to you
It was okay yesterday baby, well it oughta be just right tonight
Oh, it was okay yesterday, baby, it oughta be just right
Just right tonight
'Cause what I got is called the good stuff
Baby, have you got a good appetite? Yeah
How long, baby, how long, baby, how long, baby
How long baby, how long, how long, baby, baby, how long
Just how long you gonna take?
Somebody just slapped me with a nasty gym shoe
You oughta not be so okay with it

How long, baby, how long, how long?
I need you, I need you, I need you, baby
I, I, yeah, how long, how long, baby, how long, baby
Just for a thrill
You changed the sunshine to rain
Just for a thrill
You filled my heart with pain
To me you were my pride and joy
But to you, I was merely a toy
A plaything, that you could toss around at will
Just for a thrill
You made my life one sad song
Just for a thrill
You just led me along
Although you're free and havin' your fun
To me you're still the only one
Cause you made my heart stand still
Just for a thrill
Although you're free and havin' your fun
To me you're still the only one
Cause you made my heart stand still
Well, it was just for a thrill
And baby you, you, made my heart stand still
I was born in a crossfire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain
But it's all right now, in fact it's a gas
But it's all right
I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas, gas, gas
I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag
I was schooled with a strap right across my back
But it's all right now, in fact it's a gas
But it's all right
I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas, gas, gas
I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead
I fell down, to my feet and I saw they bled
Yeah, sure and I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread, sure
Yeah, I was crowned with a spike right through my head
But it's all right now, in fact it's a gas
But it's all right
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Girl, I got to go)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(I got to go now, really)
(Yeah, I'm kinda in a hurry)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Uh, huh, here's the reason why)
Jump, jump, jump to it
Jump, jump, jump to it
Jump, jump, jump to it
Jump, jump, jump to it
My baby, loves me, he told me that

Jeremiah was a bullfrog was a good friend of mine
I never understood a single word he said
But I helped him a-drink his wine
And he always had some mighty fine wine, singin'
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls now
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me
If I were the king of the world
Tell you what I'd do
I'd throw away the cars and the bars and the war
Make sweet love to you, sing it now
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me
You know I love the ladies, love to have my fun
I'm a high life flyer and a rainbow rider
A straight shootin' son of a gun
I said a straight shootin' son of a gun
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

All this time, I couldnt shake your memory
And I never knew the sweetest love was the first
So what am I supposed to do about this curse
Ive got you to blame
And Im calling, calling out your name
Oh- he was so fine- Jimmy Lee -oh he was so fine
Jimmy Lee
Jimmy Lee
Find me rushing off to school every morning
Never had a care
Acting crazy, always laughing when Im running
Cause I knew youd meet me when I got there
Stealing kisses in the hall, before the first bell
You smelt so sweet
Though wed just met, I guess you knew me so well
You had the number to my heartline
Well, just between you and me
He was the first one
He stole my heart
He ran like a bandit, I dont understand it
Jimmy Lee, this ones for me
And Ill always remember
History, biology
And that magical December
Jimmy Lee, where can you be
Can this song ever find you?
Wont you please explain to me
Why you left me behind you?
Jimmy
On the average twice a week, I think Id see you
On some avenue
Someone laughs and shakes his head where you used to
I guess I got myself a new screw
I grew up and had my share of adventure
Well, Ive had some fun
But you never need to question my intentions
Cause each guy is just another rerun
Well, just between you and me
He was the first one
He stole my heart
He ran like a bandit, I dont understand it
Jimmy Lee, this ones for me
And Ill always remember
History, biology
And that magical December
Jimmy Lee, where can you be
Can this song ever find you?
Wont you please explain to me
Why you left me behind you?
Well, just between you and me
He was the first one
He stole my heart
He ran like a bandit, I dont understand it
Jimmy Lee, this ones for me
And Ill always remember
History, biology
And that magical December
Jimmy Lee, where can you be
Can this song ever find you?
Wont you please explain to me
(Intro: talking)
Jesus hears every prayer
he understands all about us
he watches over his children
he understands all about us
on the streets, in our homes
on the job
Ohhh
Oh Father (repeat)
See we don't have more than this evening
Humidity's rising, barometer's getting low
According to all sources the street's the place to go
Cos tonight for the first time, at just about half past ten
For the first time in history it's gonna start raining men
It's raining men, hallelujah
It's raining men, amen
I'm gonna go out, I'm gonna let myself get
Absolutely soaking wet
It's raining men, hallelujah
It's raining men, every specimen
Tall, blonde, dark and lean
Rough and tough and strong and mean
God bless Mother Nature, she's a single woman too
She took on a heaven and she did what she had to do
She took every angel and rearranged the sky
So that each and every woman could find her perfect guy
It's raining men, hallelujah
It's raining men, amen
It's raining men, hallelujah
It's raining men, amen
I feel stormy weather moving in
About to begin
Hear the thunder, don't you lose your head
Rip off the roof and stay in bed
God bless Mother Nature, she's a single woman too
She took on the heavens and she did what she had to do
She taught every angel, she rearranged the sky
So that each and every woman could find the perfect guy
Ooh it’s raining men, yeah
Humidity's rising, barometer's getting low
According to all sources, the street's the place to go
Cos tonight for the first time, just about half past ten
For the first time in history it's gonna start raining men
It's raining men, hallelujah
It's raining men, amen
It's raining men, hallelujah
It's raining men, amen
It's raining men, hallelujah
It's raining men, amen
It's raining men, hallelujah
It's raining men, amen
Tall, blonde, dark and lean
Rough and tough and strong and mean
It's raining men, hallelujah
It's raining men, amen
It's raining men, hallelujah
I can't cover up my feelings
In the name of love
Or play it safe
For a while that was easy
And if living for myself
Is what I'm guilty of
Go on and sentence me
I'll still be free
It's my turn
To see what I can see
I hope you'll understand
This time's just for me
Because it's my turn
With no apologies
I've given up the truth
To those I've tried to please
But now it's my turn
If I don't have all the answers
At least I know I'll take my share of chances
Ain't no use of holding of
When nothing stays the same
So I'll let it rain
'Cause the rain ain't gonna hurt me
And I'll let you go
'Though I know it won't be easy
It's my turn
With no more room for lies
For years I'd seen my life
Through someone else's eyes
And now it's my turn
To try and find my way
And if I should get lost
At least I'll own today
It's my turn
Yes, it's my turn
And there ain't no use in holding of
When nothing stays the same
So I'll let it rain
'Cause the rain ain't gonna hurt me
And I'll let you go
'Though I know it won't be easy
It's my turn
To see what I can see
I hope you'll understand
This time's just for me
Because it's my turn
To turn and say good-bye
I sure would like to know
That you're still on my side
Because it's my turn
It's my turn
It's my turn
To start from number one
Trying to undo
Some damage that's been done
But now it's my turn
To reach and touch the sky
No one's gonna say
At least I didn't try
It's my turn
Yes, it's my turn
It's my turn
It's my turn
Well I've had my fun if I don't get well no more
Well I've had my fun if I don't get well no more
Yeah my head is spinning
And I'm going down slow
Please write my mother tell her the shape I'm in
Please write my mother tell her the shape I'm in
Tell her to pray for me
Forgive me for my sins
Don't send me no doctor he won't do me no good
Don't send me no doctor he won't do me no good
I said it's all my fault
Did do things I shouldn't have...
Driftin' and stumblin' like a ship out on the sea
Driftin' and stumblin' like a ship out on the sea
I ain't got nobody
It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be, yeah
VERSE 1: Sung by Aretha
You've been hanging round my boyfriend
You've been sayin that he's sweet, yeah

(spoken):What are you trying to say Miss Thang?

I saw your face as I hurried past the café
And the rain felt like long lost tears
As it trickled down the window pane
And in a moment
All the years were simply washed away
'Cause when our eyes met, when our eyes met
There was nothing left to say
I caught my breath, I fell out of touch with time
'Cause it was you
With a part of me I'd forgotten that I ever knew
I stood to greet you and you held me
Just a little bit too long
Ooh but we've come so far, we've come so far
But the feeling's still so strong
If ever a love there was
If ever two stars were crossed
If ever a dream was lost
Then it was yours and mine
If ever a touch was right
Or a future looked bright
If ever a love there was
That same perfume
Carries such a lot of memories of a time
When we dreamed sweet dreams
Never knowing they'd be left behind
Love is a memory, like a picture
And it never seems to fade
Ooh and I still believe, and I still believe
All the promises we made
If ever a love there was
If ever two stars were crossed
If ever a dream was lost
Then it was yours and mine
If ever a touch was right
Or a future looked bright
If ever a love there was
And I still believe, I still believe
All the promises we made
If ever a love there was
If ever two stars were crossed
If ever a dream was lost
Then it was yours and mine
If ever a touch was right
Or a future looked bright
If ever a love there was
It was yours and mine
I've been loving you too long to stop now
There were time and you want to be free
My love is growing stronger, as you become a haven to me
Oh I've been loving you a little too long
I don't wanna stop now, oh
With you my life,
Has been so wonderful
I can't stop now
There were times and your love is growing cold
My love is growing stronger as our affair (affair) grows old
I've been loving you a little too long, long,
I don't want to stop now
oh, oh, oh
I've been loving you a little bit too long
I don't wanna stop now
No, no, no
Don't make me stop now
No baby
I'm down on my knees Please, don't make me stop now
I love you, I love you,
I love you with all of my heart
And I can't stop now
Don't make me stop now
Please, please don't make me stop now
(Good god of mine) I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you

I love you in so many different ways
I take what I want; I'm a bad go-getter, yeah,
(What you want, get what you want,
now what you want, get what you want)
I'm never a loser and I'm never a quitter yeah
(What you want, get what you want,
now what you want, get what you want)
'Cause I take what I want, and baby, all I want is you
(y-o-u baby, y-o-u baby,)
I've been watchin' you walk by (mhm, mhm, mhm,)
And I haven't said a word,
(gonna get you, gonna get you)
I'm ready to get you right now
and I'm gonna make you my man
(gonna get you), Oh yes I am (gonna get you)
Because I take what I want,

(What you want, get what you want,

(What you want, just get what you want,
(yes I am) now what you want, just get what you want)
And I'm not a loser, I'm a tough go-getter yeah
The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you
And while combing my hair now,
And wondering what dress to wear now,
I say a little prayer for you
Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, forever, we never will part
Oh, how I love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me.
I run for the bus, dear,
While riding I think of us, dear,
I say a little prayer for you.
At work I just take time
And all through my coffee break-time,
I say a little prayer for you.
Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, forever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me.
I say a little prayer for you
I say a little prayer for you
My darling believe me, (believe me)
For me there is no one but you!
Please love me too
I'm in love with you (answer my prayer)
Answer my prayer babe (answer my prayer)
Say you love me too (answer my prayer)
Answer my prayer babe (answer my prayer)
Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, and ever, we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, forever, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me (oooooooooh)
My darling believe me, (believe me)
For me there is no one but you!
Please love me too
This is my prayer (answer my prayer)
Answer my prayer now babe (answer my prayer)
This is my prayer (answer my prayer)
Answer it right now babe (answer my prayer)
Say you love me too (answer my prayer)
You're a no good heartbreaker
You're a liar and you're a cheat
And I don't know why
I let you do these things to me
My friends keep telling me
That you ain't no good
But oh, but they don't know
That I'd leave you if I could
I guess I'm uptight
And I'm stuck like glue
'Cause I ain't never
I ain't never, I ain't never, no, no (loved a man)
(The way that I, I love you)
Some time ago I thought
You had run out of fools
But I was so wrong
You got one that you'll never lose
The way you treat me is a shame
How could you hurt me so bad
Baby, you know that I'm the best thing
That you ever had
Kiss me once again
Don'cha never, never say that we're through
Cause I ain't never
Never, Never, no, no (loved a man)
(The way that I, I love you)
I can't sleep at night
And I can't eat a bite
I guess I'll never be free
Since you got, your hooks, in me
Whoa, oh, oh
Yeah! Yeah!
I ain't never loved a man
I ain't never loved a man, baby
Ain't never had a man that hurt me so bad
Well this is what I'm gonna do about it...
I had a dream, mmm
I had a dream of days gone by
When hopes were high and life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
And then our dream had gone when we forgiving
Then I was young and I was not afraid
And dreams were made and used and tasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, nothing was wasted
Then the tigers come at night
With their voices so thundering
And as they tear your dreams apart
As they turn your dreams to shame, shame, shame, shame
He walked a summer, he walked a summer by my side
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
Oh, but he was gone when fall came, oh yes he was
And still I dream
I stand like he’ll leave me or come to me
And then we will, then we will
Then we will live life together
But there are dreams that cannot, that cannot, cannot be
And oh, the stars cannot weather
I had a dream, had a dream
Listen well, I had a dream
That life would be so different, so different
What in the hell is going on today, yeah
So different from what it seems to be
Life will not kill the dreams that I dream
Ah, ah, no, no, no, no
So different from what it seems to be
Life must not kill the dreams that we dream
Be not dismayed whatever betide you, you need to know
(God will take care of you)
Beneath His wings of love abide you, you need to know
(God will take care of you)
Through days of toil when heart does fail
When dangers fierce your path assail, you better remember
(Chorus)
God will take care of you,
Through every day (through every day)
All of the way
God will take care of you; He will take care of you
All you may need (all you may need) He will provide,
(God will take care of you)
Nothing you ask, my friend, will be denied,
(God will take care of you)
No matter what (no matter what)
May be the test (may be the test)
Lean, weary one (lean, weary one)
Safe in his rest (safe in his rest)
And you just remember that you know
(Chorus)
Through your trials and through your storms
Whan it seems you can't hold on
Touble is on ever side, cried so much you just can't cry no more
They can talk about you, laugh about you, say that it's over
But it's not over until God says it's over
Remember that he is always faithful
You serve a God who's able to take care of you

Them that's got shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible said and it still is news
Mama may have, papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
Yes, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
Mama may have, papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
Money, you've got lots of friends
Crowding round the door
When you're gone, spending ends
They don't come no more
Rich relations give
Crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don't take too much
Mama may have, papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
Mama may have, papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
He just worry 'bout nothin'
Holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on
Holdin' on to something true
To what feels good to you
Gotta be strong, gotta be strong, gotta be strong
Don't let it get away from you
Do whatcha gotta do
I know it gets hard sometimes
To find a little piece of mind
Gotta stay focused, gotta stay strong
To all my people, hold on
To what you have inside
I know it hurts but don't cry
Life is gonna go on
With or without you, hold on
Holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on
Holdin' on to something true
To what feels good to you
Gotta be strong, gotta be strong, gotta be strong
Don't let it get away from you
Do whatcha gotta do
Taking care of home and family
Sometimes it's hard to keep your sanity
Thinkin' what about my fantasies
Will my dreams come true
If I stay emotionless
Release myself from all the stress
Don't blame it all on you
To myself, I'll be true
We trade in our stability
For all types of insecurities
Now tell me what is to become
Of me
If I let myself stress
Every time life throws me a test
Holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on
Holdin' on to something true
To what feels good to you
Gotta be strong, gotta be strong, gotta be strong
Don't let it get away from you
Do whatcha gotta do
Holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on
Holdin' on to something true
To what feels good to you
Gotta be strong, gotta be strong, gotta be strong
Don't let it get away from you
Do whatcha gotta do
We trade in our stability
For all types of insecurities
Now tell me what is to become
Of me
If I let myself stress
Every time life throws me a test
Holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on
Holdin' on to something true
To what feels good to you
Gotta be strong, gotta be strong, gotta be strong

Because when you need my love
And I give time after time
And turn around & found me no returns

And we both need a drink
To stay alive my darling

But you must be livin' right, yeah
We got some places to see

And satisfaction roll down
I'm an evil gal don't you bother with me, no
I said I'm an evil gal don't you mess around with me, mmhmm
Well I'll empty your pockets and fill you with misery, yes I will!
If you tell me good mornin'

If you say hello baby I'ma give you the evil eye
I'ma evil gal don't you mess around with me, Mmhmm
I'm gonna empty your pockets and fill you with misery, yes I will
I want caviar for breakfast, champagne every night,

Oh if you wanna be happy don't you hang out with me, no more
I said if you wanna be happy, honey, don't you hang out with me
You'd better not
Cause I'll empty your pockets and I'll set you free
Sometimes I'm right and I can be wrong
My own beliefs are in my song
The butcher, the banker, the drummer and then
Makes no difference what group I'm in
I am everyday people, yeah yeah
There is a blue one who can't accept the green one
For living with a fat one trying to be a skinny one
And different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo-bee
Oh sha sha - we got to live together
I am no better and neither are you
We are basically the same whatever we do
You love me, you hate me you know me and then
You can't figure out the bag l'm in
I am everyday people, yeah yeah
There is a long hair that doesn't accept the short hair
Sister and brothe let's be cool with each other, ooh
And different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo-bee
Oh sha sha-we got to live together
There is a yellow one
That ain't into the red one, who don't like the black one
What about white one y'all?
Here we go with the trick questions
They bring up to break down confidence
Always throw out a sly comment
Like is your man faithful?
What time does he get home?
Don't worry, I ain't gonna need your help
I'm gonna watch y'all go home by yourself
A lil' bit of my man's sweet love
Is a whole lot better than none
Don't you know that everybody's somebody's fool
You watch somebody running game
But ya never have a clue
Somebody's breaking every rule but it's always cool
Don't you know that everybody's somebody's fool
Skip the drama, use common sense
You don't have love if you don't have patience
He's out in the street but don't forget
My twice a week and that almighty paycheck
See I don't even sweat it, I get so much happiness
If I just put up with a lil' bit a bullshit
A lil' bit of my man's sweet love
Is a whole lot better than none
Don't you know that everybody's somebody's fool
You watch somebody running game
But ya never have a clue
Somebody's breaking every rule but it's always cool
Don't you know that everybody's somebody's fool
Think no evil when somebody comes home
Hear no evil, I don't want to know
See no evil, I just wanna see love
Because somebody always takes care
Of everybody's wants
Don't interrogate 'bout how he spends his spare time
Whatever he chooses to do is fine
'Cause in my heart I believe he's all mine
'Cause you think I can't see, doesn't mean that I'm blind
Don't you know that everybody's somebody's fool
Watch somebody running game
But ya never have a clue
Somebody's breaking every rule but it's always cool
Everybody's somebody's fool
Yes, it's love, so much love
You are the one
I can't admit that I was wrong
Took you for granted now I'm all alone
It was so silly all the things we say
And all the words of pain runnin' through my head
If I had the chance I'd let you know
I'll tell you that I never want you to go
These tears I cry won't let me rest
Till you return
There's not one day that goes by
That I don't cry for you
There's not one day that goes by
That I'm not singing the blues
There's not one day that goes by
That I don't wish it could work
And it's tearing me up inside
Every little bit hurts
It hurts, oh baby, you know you hurt me
I can't believe that you would leave me
I always thought you would stand by me
The thought of you in another arms
Is very slowly tearing me apart
What can I do to make you see?
Everything you need is here with me
I really miss the things that we used to build
And don't you miss the way I used to love you?
There's not one day that goes by
That I don't cry for you
There's not one day that goes by
That I'm not singing the blues
There's not one day that goes by
That I don't wish it could work
And it's tearing me up inside
Every little bit hurts
You used to kiss me
You used to hold me
You used to love me
You used to touch me
All night long you made everything alright
But now you're gone and I'm all alone
Things have stayed the same
And all I'm really tryin' to say, I'm the one to blame
There's not one day that goes by
That I don't cry for you
There's not one day that goes by
That I'm not singing the blues
There's not one day that goes by
That I don't wish it could work
And it's tearing me up inside
I'm Eleanor Rigby, I picked up the rice
In the church where the weddin's had been, yeah

Just being a fool
'Cause I keep hoping, hoping, hoping you'll appear
Sure I can borrow a smoke
I can sit here all night and tell these jokers some jokes
But who wants to laugh, who's gonna laugh at a broken heart
Oh, my heart is aching, I swear it's breaking
And I'm drinking again
Thinking of when you loved me
And I'm tryin' to get home
With nothin', nothin' but a memory
Yes, I'm dying to get home
Dying to get home
And I got nothin' but a bottle of beer
Don't play that song for me
'Cuz it brings back memories
Old days that I once knew
The days that I spent with you
Oh no! Don't let them play it
It fills my heart with pain
Please stop it right away
'Cuz I remember just what he said
He said, "Darling"
And I know that he lied
You know that you lied
You know that you lied, lied, you lied
Hey mister don't play it no more
Don't play it no more
I can't stand it
Don't play it no more, no more, no more
I remember on our first date
He kissed me and he walked away
I was only seventeen
I never dreamed he'd be so mean
He told me, "Darling"
Baby, baby, you lied
You, you lied
You know that you lied, lied, lied
Oh darling, you know that you lied, yeah
You know I know you lied
Darling, you lied, you lied, you lied
You're all that I need
You lied
Oh, you lied
Hey baby don't play it no more, don't do it
Don't play it no more, no more
I can't stand it no more
If I lose this dream
I don't know what I'm gonna do
If I lose this dream
I'm dreaming about for me and you
If it goes away
I might as well hang it up
'Cause I don't know
If I have the heart or mind
To make it true
Or help it grow
And I only know, I only know, I only know
If I lose this dream
It's goodbye love and happiness, yes
You're the one I need
I don't want a love
That's second best
There've been all of my life
I wanted to do
That made me blue
Help me hold onto this dream
For sometimes dreams often come true
And they all come true, they all come true
For me and you
Wait a minute baby
Don't let me lose this dream
Baby, baby hold on
Don't let me lose my dream, no
Baby, baby be strong
You say that a-you believe that what I say is true
And that I'm the one and only girl for you
Just tell me
That no matter what the people say
You're in my corner all the way
And I won't lose this dream
Baby, baby hold on
Don't let me lose my dream, no
Baby, baby be strong
Don't let me lose this dream
Baby, baby hold on
Don't let me lose, lose my dream
Baby, baby hold on

(Day dreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you)
(Day dreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you)
(Day dreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you)
(Look at my heart floating away)
He's the kind of guy that would say
'Hey baby let's get away let's go some place, huh''
Well I don't care
He's the kind of guy that you give your everything
And trust your heart, share all of your love, till death do you part
I want to be what he wants when he wants it, and whenever he needs it
And when he's lonesome and feelin' love starved
I'll be there to feed it
I'm givin' him a little bit for each day
He turns me right on when I hear him say
(Hey baby let's get away, let's go somewhere far
(Baby can we')
Well I don't care
(Hey baby let's get away, let's go somewhere far
(Baby can we')
Well I don't care
I wanna be what he wants when he wants it
And whenever he needs it
When it comes to bein' feelin' loved starved I'll be there to feed it
Lovin him a little bit more each day
It turns me right on when I hear him say
(Hey baby let's get away, let's go somewhere far)
(Baby can we') Well, I don't care
(Hey baby let's get away, let's go somewhere far)
(Baby can we') Well, I don't care

(Day dreaming) day dreaming of you
(Day dreaming)
Thinking of you
fades-
Day....dreaming
At the dark end of the street
That's where we always meet
Hiding in shadows where we don't belong
Living in darkness to hide our wrong
You and me at the dark end of the street you and me
I know that time's gonna take its toll
We have to pay for the love we stole
It's a sin and we know it's wrong
Oh but our love keeps a coming on strong
Steal away to the dark end of the street you and me
They're gonna find us yes they're gonna find us
They're gonna find us oh some day
You and me at the dark end of the street you and me
And when the daylight hours roll around
And by ten we're both downtown
If we shoud meet you just walk right on by
Oh my darling now please don't you cry
Nobody knows except my pillow at night
All thru the day how many tears I have to fight
Oh when I'm all alone yeah
I just cry like a baby
I cry like a baby
Oh I cry
I cry
Oh yeah
Nobody sees except my mirror on the wall
I'm not the fairest I'm the bluest of them all
And, Oh
When I'm all alone yeah
I just cry like a baby
I cry like a baby
I cry
I cry
Oh yeah
Each day I say tomorrow will be my lucky day
Ah ha yeah
And my pillow will be suprised when i come home with a glad eye
And the mirror on the wall will see that I am happy one more (?)
No more nights staring at daddy's chair
Because I know that you will be standing there
Oh oh, when I'm alone I won't
Cry like a baby
Cry like a baby
Oh yeah
Said I won't cry
I won't cry like a baby
Wooo hooo no
Oh ho yeah
You're asking me to
Understand your feelings
To just forget about my own
And let you go
Darling, I won't
Raise a hand to stop you
Just let me say one thing
Before you go
[CHORUS]
Come to me
Whenever you get lonely
Just reach out your hand
And there I'll be
My love will light your
Way out of the darkness
If you ever need a true love
Come to me
I believe that time alone
Will change you
The changing tides
Will bring you back to me
And when you grow tired
Of chaising rainbows
Just make a wish for love
And there I'll be
[repeat CHORUS]
Ohhh, come to me
Whenever you get lonely
(Come to me, baby)
Just reach out your hand
And there I'll be
Yeah, yeah, yeah
My love will light your
Way out of the darkness
If you ever need a true love
Come to me, sweet baby
Come to me
Whenever you get lonely
(Oh, yeah, come to me, baby)
Just reach out your hand
(Reach out, reach out)
And there I'll be
My love will light your
Way out of the darkness
If you ever need a true love
Come to me
(If you ever get lonely)
Come to me
Whenever you get lonely
Just reach out your hand
And there I'll be
(Reach out for me)
(Sweet baby, I'll be there)
My love will light your
Way out of the darkness
If you ever need a true love

Christmas just ain't Christmas
Without the one you love
New Year's just ain't New Year's
Without the one you love
Underneath the mistletoe
I saw his face all aglow
Last year this time
Now I'm staying home alone
And this house ain't a home
Without that man of mine
Christmas just ain't Christmas
Without the one you love
New Year just ain't New Year's
Without the one you love
Twelve o'clock and all is well
And I was doing, oh, so swell
Last year, this time
Goin' shopping for presents together
Vowing to leave each other never
It was a waste of time
Christmas just ain't Christmas
Without the one you love
New Year just ain't New Year's
Without the one you love
Christmas just ain't Christmas
Without the one you love
New Year just ain't New Year's
Without the one you love

Holy Moses, I have been removed
I have seen the specter, he was been here too
Distant cousin from down the line
Brand of people who ain't my kind
Holy Moses, I have been removed
Holy Moses, I have been deceived
Now the wind has changed direction
I think I'll have to leave
Won't you please excuse my frankness
But it's not my cup of tea
Holy Moses, I have been deceived, yes I have
I'm going back to the border
Where my affairs, my affairs ain't abused
I can't take any more bad water
I've been poisoned from my head down to my shoes
Yes I have
Holy Moses, I have been deceived
Holy holy
Holy Moses, can we live in peace
Let us strive to find a way to make all hatred cease
There's a man standin' over there
What's his color do you care, oh
Holy holy holy Moses
Can we live in peace?
Lord help them out
Holy holy holy Moses
Can we live in peace?
Holy holy holy Moses

Won't you come home, bill bailey, won't you come home
I've moaned the whole night long
I'll do the cookin', honey, I'll pay the rent
I know I done you wrong
You remember that rainy evenin'
I threw you out....with nothin' but a fine tooth comb
Ya, I know I'm to blame, now... ain't it a shame
Bill bailey, won't you please come home
(instrumental break)
Won't you come home, bill bailey, won't you come on home
I've moaned that whole day long
I'll do all the cookin' honey, I'll even pay the rent
I know, that I have done you, oh so, wrong
You remember that rainy evenin'
I throwed you out, with nothin but a fine tooth comb
I know I'm to blame, now... ain't it a shame
So baby, won't you please come
I said now, won't you please come
Why are we fighting?
Why do we scream?
Seems all we do now
Is treat each other mean
We used to be so understanding
About each others ways
And since we've come together
Seems all we do is get in each other's way
We're better friends than lovers
We used to have a ball
Let's not wait 'til the friendship breaks
We don't have to lose it all
We're better friends than lovers
Honey can't you see?
You need you and I, I need me
So it's time now to set each other free
You get mad if guys stare at me
And I'm mad if girls look
I don't believe we're ready now
For living by this book
The things we love about us
Are the things we seem to hate
And when we go out for good times
We just come home with big headaches
We're better friends than lovers
We used to have a ball
Let's not wait 'til the friendship breaks
'Cause we don't have to lose it all
We're better friends than lovers
Honey can't you see
You need you and I, I really need me
So it's time now to set each other free
We were both out there fishing
We weren't ready to care
And no room in our hearts for love
To love each other back, let's get back
We're better friends than lovers
We used to have a ball
Let's not wait 'til the friendship breaks
'Cause we don't have to lose it all
Better friends than lovers
Sugar can't you see?
You need you and I really need me
So it's time now really
We're so much better friends
We used to have a ball
'Til the friendship breaks
We don't have to lose it all
We're better friends than lovers
Baby can't you see
You need you and I really need me
So it's time now ohh yes, ohh really
We're so much better friends
I don't believe you anymore
Ave Maria, maiden mild
Oh, listen to a maiden's prayer
For thou can't hear amid the wild
This thou, this thou can't save amid, despair
We slumber safe until tomorrow
Though we by man outcast relieved
Oh, maiden, see a maiden's sorrow
Oh, mother, hear a suppliant child
Ave Maria
Ave Maria, gracia plena
Maria, gracia plena
Maria, gracia plena
Ave, ave dominus
Dominus tecum
Benedicta tu in mulieribus
Et benedictus
Et benedictus fructus ventris
Ventris tuae, Jesus
All my friends have to ask ifI'm shattered.
I say the past is the past and it no longer matters.
I made my mind up
I can make it
I'll be fine
even if I gotta fake it.
I'll keep surviving.
Another night - without you.
Another night - I know I can get through.
Another night - it's only -
another night - I won't be lonely.
Another night - another night -
Another night - it ain't much -
another night - without your touch.
I used to search through the crowd to find you
But I don't feel like it now
so don't look behind you.
You better face it
I won't be calling
I hit my stride when the evening is falling
I'm gonna make it -
Another night - without you. . . .
Out where the music is loud and the people are laughing
I'm gonna step on out
I won't be down
Gonna stand my ground for just another night -
Oh yes
for a
another night.
I made my mind up
I can make it
I'll be fine
even if I gotta fake it.
I'll keep surviving
I will.
Another night - without you.
Another night - I know I can get through.
Another night - it ain't much -
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plain
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their sweet refrain
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Come to Bethlehem and see
Christ, whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord, the newborn King
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
See Him in a manger laid
Whom the choirs of angels praise
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid
While our hearts in love we praise
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
In excelsis Deo
In excelsis Deo
Merry Christmas

It was my sister, Carolyn, sayin
Aretha, come by when you can
I've got somethin I wanna say.
And when I got there she said
You know, rather than go through a long drawn out thing,
I think the melody on the box, will help me explain
Gotta find me an angel, to fly away with me
Gotta find me an angel, ooh and set me free
My heart is without a whole, I don't want to be alone
I gotta find me an angel in my life, in my life
Too long have I loved, so unattached within
So much that I know that I need somebody so
So I'll just go on hoping that I find me someone
Find me an angel in my life
In my life
Instrumental
I know there must be someone, somewhere for me
Oh I lived too long without the love of someone
And there's no misery ooooooh oooh like the misery
I feel in me, gotta find me an angel in my life
(He'll be there now don't you worry)
My life (keep lookin and just keep cookin)
My life (he'll be there, now don?t you worry)

All the king's horses and all the king's men
They couldn't put our two hearts together again
We stand on a wall of happiness
We stand on a wall of love
We stand on a wall of security so high above
With his arms wrapped all around me
It was like a fairy tale
Two people so in love
Tell me how could this fail, how could it fail
The walls start shakin' her love right now
Happiness is given away, security is fallin' down
He fell when I fell, another is left to tell
[Repeat: x2]
Is all the king's horses and all the king's men
They couldn't put our two hearts together again
The walls started shakin' yes it did her love right now

Stop trying to be someone you're not
How cold and cruel is a man
Who paid too much for what he got?
And if you need me like you say, say you do
Oh then please, please
Please don't you know that I need you?
Oh, it ain't no way
I tell you that it ain't no way
It ain't no way, it ain't no way, baby, no
It just ain't no way
It sure ain't no way
It ain't no way for me to love you
If you won't let me
No way
If you won't let me
You've got to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
Eliminate the negative
And latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between
You've got to spread joy up to the maximum
And bring gloom down to the minimum
And have faith or pandemonium is liable
To walk upon the scene
To illustrate my last remark
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
What did they do just when
Everything looked so dark?
Man, I said you got to
Ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
Eliminate the negative
And latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between
To illustrate my last remark
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
Tell me what did they do just when
Everything, everything looked so dark?
Man I said, you've got to
Ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
And eliminate the negative
And hang on to the affirmative
And don't mess, don't mess with
Mister In-Between, no, no, don't mess
Oh baby I said don't mess, you better
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo
There was a rose I knew
I met her once or twice before
She was a pretty sweet thing
Not the least bit insecure
Then you came with your slick game
And played with her youth
Unashamed of the way you lied
Played with the truth, hey hey
Mmm, she never knew what hit her, yeah
Steal her honey, then forget her
A rose, she wears a flower
Tryin' to forget about you
?Cause a rose is still a rose
Baby girl, you're still a flower
He can't lead you and then take you
Make you and then break you
Darlin', you hold the power
Now believe me when I tell you
That I've been hurt myself
When he tells you that he loves you
And sees nobody else
And now you're so tough tryin' to
Wear tight clothes and things
Tossin' and flossin'
Tryin' to fill the void heartbreak brings
Oh yeah, when she faces the mirror, yeah
She's cryin', you can't hear her
Now the rose is still a rose
She wears a flower, tryin' to forget about you
?Cause a rose is still a rose
Baby girl, you're still a flower
He can't lead you and then take you
Make you and then break you
Baby girl, you hold the power
See a rose is still a rose
Baby girl, you're still a flower
He can't lead you and then take you
Make you and then break you
Darlin', you hold the power
Let your life be in the sunshine
Not the darkness of your sorrow
You may see you're all today
When you know it'll come tomorrow
Tough to be, but life ain't over
Just because your man is gone
Girl, love yourself and love to love
?Cause without him your life goes on
Without him your life goes on
Without him your life goes on
?Cause a rose is still a rose
Baby girl, you're still a flower
He can't lead you and then take you
Make you and then break you
Baby girl, you hold the power
See a rose is still a rose
Baby girl, you're still a flower
He can't lead you and then take you
Make you and then break you

Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel so uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you
Life was so unkind
You're the key
To my piece of mind
'Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
you make me feel
Like a natural woman
(Woman)
When my soul was in the lost and found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful
Of what I'm livin' for
And if I make you happy
I don't need to do more
'Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
you make me feel
Like a natural woman
(Woman)
Oh baby, what ya done to me
(Whatcha done to me)
Made me feel so good inside
(Good inside)
And I just wanna be close to you
(Wanna be)
You make me feel so alive
'Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
you make me feel
Like a natural woman
(Woman)
'Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
you make me feel
Like a natural woman
(Woman)
'Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
you make me feel
Like a natural woman
(Woman)
A chair is still a chair,
even when there's no one
sitting there.
But a chair is not a house,
and a house is not a home
when there's no one there
to hold you tight
and no one there
you can kiss goodnight.
A room is still a room
even when there's nothing there but gloom.
But a room is not a house,
and a house is not a home
when the two of us are far apart
and one of us
has a broken heart.
Now and then,
I call your name
and suddenly your face appears.
But it's just,
a crazy game
when it ends,
it ends in tears.
Darling have a heart,
Don't let one mistake
keep us apart.
I'm not meant to live alone,
turn this house into a home
when i climb the stair
and turn the key please be there.
Still in love with me.
Yea...
I'm not meant to live alone.
Turn this house into a home.
When I climb the stair
and turn the keys.
Please be there,
still in love
There's an old friend
That I once heard say
Something that touched my heart
And it began this way
I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I've been runnin' ever since
He said it's been a long time comin'
But I know my change is gonna come, oh yeah
He said it's been too hard livin'
But I'm afraid to die
I might not be if I knew what was up there
Beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time comin'
But I know my change has got to come, oh yeah
I went, I went to my brother
And I asked him, "Brother
Could you help me, please?"
He said, "Good sister
I'd like to but I'm not able"
And when I, when I looked around
I was right back down
Down on my bended knees, yes I was, oh
There've been times that I thought
I thought that I wouldn't last for long
But somehow right now
I believe that I'm able, I'm able to carry on
I tell you that it's been a long
And oh it's been an uphill journey, all the way
But I know, I know, I know
I know my change is gonna come
Sometimes
I had to cry all night long, yes I did
Sometimes
I had to give up right, for what I knew was wrong
Yes it's been an uphill journey
It's sure's been a long way comin', yes it has
It's been real hard every step of the way
But I believe, I believe
This evenin' my change is come
There's an old friend
That I once heard say
Something that touched my heart
And it began this way
I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I've been runnin' ever since
He said it's been a long time comin'
But I know my change is gonna come
Oh yeah
He said it's been too hard livin'
But I'm afraid to die
I might not be if I knew
What was up there beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time comin'
But I know my change has got to come
Oh yeah
I went, I went to my brother
And I asked him, "Brother
Could you help me, please?"
He said, "Good sister
I'd like to but I'm not able"
And when I, when I looked around
I was right back down
Down on my bended knees
Yes I was, oh
There I've been times that I thought
I thought that I wouldn't last for long
But somehow right now I believe
That I'm able, I'm able to carry on
I tell you that it's been along
And oh it's been an uphill journey
All the way
But I know, I know, I know
I know my change is gonna come
Sometimes I had to cry all night long
Yes I did
Sometimes I had to give up right
For what I knew was wrong
Yes it's been an uphill journey
It's sure's been a long way comin'
Yes it has
It's been real hard
Every step of the way
But I believe, I believe
This evenin' my change is come
Yeah I tell you that
This is my same old coat
These are my same old shoes
It was the same old me
With a same old blues
Then you touched my lufe
Just by fallen
And when I look in the mirror
I see a brand new girl
Just cause of you
I got the same old friends
They got the same old shins
I tell the same old jokes
T oh just and I get the same old grins
Now the joke is on you
It happened somehow with you
Everyday of my life
I'm as fresh as morning dew
Just because of you
I go to the same old places
I see the same old faces
I look at the same old sky
See it all with a brand new light
I got brand new b
And I git a brand new smile
Since I found you baby
Too many teardrops for one heart to be cryin'
Too many teardrops for one heart to carry on
You're way on top now
Since you left me
You're always laughin'
Way down at me
But watch out now
I'm gonna get there
We'll be together
For just a little while
And then I'm gonna put you
Way down here
And you'll start cryin'
Ninety-six tears
And when the sun comes up
I'll be on top
You'll be way down there
Lookin' up
And I might wave
Come up here
But I don't see you
Wavin' now
I'm way down here
Wonderin' how
I'm gonna get you
But I know now
I'll just cry, cry, I'll just cry
Too many teardrops for one heart to be cryin'
Too many teardrops for one heart
To carry on
You're gonna cry ninety-six tears
You're gonna cry ninety-six tears
You're gonna cry cry, cry, cry, now
You're gonna cry cry, cry, cry
Ninety-six tears c'mon and lemme hear you cry, now
Ninety-six tears (whoo!) I wanna hear you cry
Night and day, yeah, all night long
Uh-ninety-six tears cry cry cry
C'mon baby, let me hear you cry now, all night long
Uh-ninety-six tears! Yeah! C'mon now
Uh-ninety-six tears!
