Loving you came easily
Yet it made me blind to all there was to see
Now my heart is filled with pain
You understand I never will
How did it come to be that you don't love me still?
Now it's getting to be plain
If you really cared about anyone else
I know you wouldn't hurt me
If you cared about more than yourself
I bet ya wouldn't go
If you really cared about anyone else
I know you wouldn't hurt me
If you cared about more than yourself
You wouldn't walk out the door
Though some days the blues was our parade,
Still we marched through all the tears we made
Now I find that it wasn't no game of charades that you played
I did my best to bring you joy
How can you just leave me like a broken toy?
Where's the man that once was you?
If I could be within your mind
I would never think to treat you this unkind

I hope tomorrow will bring better you, better me
I know that we'll show this world we got more we could me
So you should never give up on your hopes and your dreams
You gotta get up, get out, get into it, get it on to se strong
If we try, we can fly to a whole 'nother place
All we need is belief and a smile on our face
We can go anywhere we want, any road we decide to Take
And we're never, never, never to far from tomorrow today
[Chorus:]
If tomorrow is light in a place where there's none
Then know that now is the time to have faith in us
Ya know we're all in this world and we all can] belong
We gotta get up, get out, get over it, get it on to be strong
If we try, we can fly to a place in the sun
All we need is precious dreams and a friend we can trust
We can go (any) where we want, any road tahat we can take
And we're never too far from tomorrow today
[Chorus:]
Ev'rybody say tomorrow is just for to share
And we're gonna send our message of love out ev'rywhere
There's a promise of love tomorrow has
Something special and it's something we know will last and last
Cause we're never far away, never
Ond thing I can always se sure of
Far away, no never the promise of today
If we try, we can fly to a place in the sun
All we need is precious dreams and a friend we can trust
We can go where we want, any road we can take
And we're never too far from tomorrow today
Ev'ry body say tomorrow is just for us to share
And we're gonna send our message of love out ev'rywhere
There's a promiise of love tomorrow has
Something special and it's something we know will last and last
Ev'ry body say tomorrow is just for us to share
And we're gonna send a menssage of love out ev'rywhere
There's promise of love tomorrow has
Something special special and it's something we know will last and last
Cause we're never far away, never
One thing I can always be sure of

Walked in the joint
They were lined up back to back
Anything you can name, no shame
Uh, uh, an' stuff like that
Do it, do it, do it, do it
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
Before my eyes was the promise of paradise
Is she real, can she feel, is she a dream
If you know what I mean
'Cause she was built out of stuff like that
Do it, do it
Stuff like that
Do it, do it
Stuff like that
Do it, do it
Stuff like that
I knew I was captured
By the rhythm of the magic flute
Pulling and urging me
To taste the forbidden fruit
And though I felt naive
I did not want to leave, fever was in the air
And all of us sudden and I didn't care
And no reason why, I just had to testify
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it
I knew I was captured
By the rhythm of the magic flute
Pulling and urging me
To taste the forbidden fruit
And though I felt naive
I did want to play, fever was in the air
And all of us sudden and I didn't care
And no reason why, I just had to testify
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
Do it, do it
Stuff like that
Do it, do it
Stuff like that
Do it, do it
Stuff like that
Do it, do it
Stuff like that
Stuff like that, stuff like that
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
I can't tell you, what I saw
Made you one was it against the law
It was not how you could you go
Thought exactly how low
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
All of a sudden, I didn't care
And no reason why, had to testify
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
Do it, do it
Stuff like that
Do it, do it
Stuff like that
Do it, do it
Stuff like that
Do it, do it
Stuff like that
Stuff like that, stuff like that
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
Do it, do it
Stuff like that
Do it, do it
Stuff like that
Do it, do it
Stuff like that
Do it, do it
Stuff like that

[Hook:]
Rain or shine sleet or snow
You're the reason why I ain't gon' go
Cause I'm playing mine high and low
Ain't afraid to let the whole world know
Hello, my love I heard a kiss from you
Red magic satin playing near too (near too)
All through the morning rain I gaze
The sun doesn't shine (doesn't shine)
Rainbows and waterfalls run through my mind (run through my mind)
In the garden I see west purple showers, bells and tea
Orange birds and river cousins dressed in green
(Cousin dress in green)
Pretty music I hear so happy and loud (happy and loud)
Blue flower echo from a cherry cloud, baby
[Chorus:]
A present from you
Strawberry letter twenty two (22)
A present from you
Strawberry letter twenty two (22)
Rain or shine sleet or snow
You're the reason why I ain't gon' go
Cause I'm playing mine high and low
Ain't afraid to let the whole world know
Feel sunshine sparkle pink and blue (hey yeah)
Playgrounds will laugh if you try to ask
(You try to ask)
Is it cool? is it cool?
If you arrive and don't see me (Yeah)
I'm going to be with my baby (my baby)
I am free, I am free
Flying in her arms (her arm)
Over the sea (Over the sea)
Stained window, yellow candy screen (Candy screen)
See speaker of kite velvet roses diggin' freedom flight
(Oh freedom flight)
Diggin' freedom flight (freedom flight)
A present from you
Strawberry letter twenty two (22)
A present from you
Strawberry letter twenty two (22)
Rain or shine sleet or snow
You're the reason why I ain't gon' go
Cause I'm playing mine high and low
Ain't afraid to let the whole world know

A present from you
Strawberry letter twenty two (22)
A present from you

Rain or shine sleet or snow
You're the reason why I ain't gon' go
Cause I'm playing mine high and low
Ain't afraid to let the whole world know

Young lonesome soldier, sleeping in the rain
Far from home
Half a child, half a hero
Tossed by the times, caught in the winds
Dream, lonesome soldier, weary of the rain
Dream of home
Someone's son, someone's lover
Dream that you're someday child
Who never knows the rain
Half a child, half a hero
Tossed by the times, caught in the winds
Someone's son, someone's lover
Dream that you're someday child
Who never knows the rain

Well, the first time I saw you
was the first time I lost you
And the first time I kissed you
Was the first time I missed you
There were times when tried
To get by with some love too
But the things that we went through
Were so cold, don't let me remind you
It takes one to be alone
And it takes two carry on
Tell me what you want to say
When you take my love
And just walk away
Is it love that we're missing?
Peace of mind we're no getting
Are the games that we're playing?
Simply our way of entertaining
Since the start you don't seem to
Realize what I've been through
Since the start I have tried to
Make you see that I need you
It takes one to be alone
And it takes two carry on
Tell me what you want to say
When you take my love
And just walk away
There we're times when you trip to
but it's but forgot to
Leave behind all the past fun
Sometimes I find it hard to comfort
Is this why we're not one?
Is it love that we're missing?
Peace of mind we're no getting
Tell me is it love that not one?
Yeah, is it love that we're missing?
Peace of mind we're not getting
Tell me is it love that we're missing
I tried so hard to make it work
But it seems to me only got hurt
Is it love that we're missing?
(Tell me, baby, T wanna know)
Peace of mind we're not getting
(tell me, is it love...)
Is it love that we're missing?
(I've tried so hard to it work....)
Is it love that wer're missing?
(Leave behind all the past fun

In the heat of the night
In the heat of the night
I've got trouble wall to wall
Oh yes I have

You don't like my music

Everything must change
Nothing stays the same
Everything must change
No one stays the same
The young become the old
And mysteries do unfold
Cause that's the way of time
Nothing and no one goes unchanged
There are not many things in life
You can be sure of
Except rain come from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
And hummingbirds do fly
Winter turns to spring
A wounded heart will heal
But never much too soon
Yes everything must change
The young become the old
And mysteries do unfold
Cause that the way of time
Nothing and know one goes unchanged
There are not many things in life
You can be sure of
Except rain come from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
(4X)
Rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
And hummingbirds do fly

I'm in Dreamsville, holding you
A dreamy view, just we two alone
If love in Dreamsville, time is new
We're here to love and we do
We can see the rest of the world
Below us from our pink cloud
There's no boundary to this magic land
As we go exploring hand in hand
In dreamy Dreamsville
Far away and here we love
Here we stay
There's no boundary to this magic land
As we go exploring hand in hand
In dreamy Dreamsville
Far away and here we love
Here we stay

Loving you came easily
Yet it made me blind to all there was to see
Now my heart is filled with pain
You understand I never will
How did it come to be that you don't love me still?
Now it's getting to be plain
*If you really cared about anyone else
I know you wouldn't hurt me
If you cared about more than yourself
I bet ya wouldn't go
If you really cared about anyone else
I know you wouldn't hurt me
If you cared about more than yourself
You wouldn't walk out the door
Though some days the blues was our parade,
Still we marched through all the tears we made
Now I find that it wasn't no game of charades that you played
I did my best to bring you joy
How can you just leave me like a broken toy?
Where's the man that once was you?
If I could be within your mind
I would never think to treat you this unkind
The pain you caused will come to you
(repeat to Fade)

I did my best
But I guess my best wasn't good enough
`Cause here we are back where we were before.
Seems nothing ever changes--
We're back to being strangers
Wondering if we ought to stay or head on out the door.
Just once, can we figure out
What we keep doing wrong,
Why we never last for very wrong,
What are we doing wrong?
Just once, can't we find a way to finally make it right,
To make the magic last for more than just one night.
If we could just get to it,
I know we could break through it.
I gave my all
But I think my all may have been too much
`Cause Lord knows , we're not getting anywhere.
Seems we're always blowing
Whatever we've got going'
And it seems at times with all we've got
We haven't got a prayer.
Just once, can we figure out
What we keep doing wrong,
Why the good times never last for long,
Where are we going wrong?
Just once, can't we find a way to finally make it right,
To make the magic last for more than just one night.
I know we could break through it.
If we could just get to it, just once
I want to understand
Why it always comes back to goodbye.
Why can't we get ourselves in hand
And admit to one another
We're no good without each other?
Take the best and make it better,
Find a way to stay together.
Just once, can't we find a way to finally make it right,
To make the magic last for more than just one night.
I know we could break through it.
If we could just get to it, just once
We could get to it, just once

Back on the block
Back on the block
[ VERSE 1: Ice-T ]
Ice-T, let me kick my credentials
A young player, bred in South Central
L.A., home of the bodybag
You wanna die, wear the wrong color rag
I used to walk in stores and yell: "Lay down!"
You flinch an inch - AK spray down
But I was lucky cause I never caught the hard time
I was blessed with the skill to bust a dope rhyme
All my homies died or caught the penzo
Lost their diamonds, cops towed their Benzos
Livin that life that we thought was it
Fast lanin, but the car flipped
I'm not gonna lie to ya, cause I don't lie
I just kick thick game, some people say: why?
Cause I'm back on the block, I got my life back
So I school the fools about the fast track
I get static from the style of my technique
Profanity, the blatant way in which I speak
But the Dude knows the streets ain't no kiddie game
You don't know the Dude? Quincy's his first name
He told me: "Ice, keep doin what you're doin, man
Don't give a damn if the squares don't understand
You let em tell you what to say and what to write
Your whole career'll be over by tomorrow night
Rap from your heart, and your heart's with the street
Rap on my record, man, Kimiko, send Ice the beat"
The Dude is def no doubt, what can I say?
The man can roll with Ice-T or Michael J

[ VERSE 2: Melle Mel ]
I'm back, on the block, on the screen
I'm on the wax, I'm on the stage, I'm on the scene
I'm on the case, just like an attorney
The Dude took me on a magic journey
To dance in France, alone in Rome
On the farmlands of Nebraska, the cold of Alaska
The heat of the motherland
To be with my brotherman
On top of a snowcapped mountain I'm scoutin
What another man saw in a race of people
To see him give his life for the price of equal
The highest wisdoms, the richest kingdoms
The Song of Songs we heard David sing them
He showed me me when I was young and hung out
He showed me makin love, even showed me strung out
He showed me poppin nines, standin on a rock
But tears came to my eyes when he showed me my block
[ Tevin Campbell (& Andrae Crouch Singers) ]
Stokie's just Stokie, mama
(Stokie's Stokie)
And one by one each woman he kiss
(He kiss her and she gon' fall in love)
Stokie's just Stokie, you know?
(Stokie's Stokie)
Till someone shows that they care enough
(Ain't nothin gonna bother Stokie much)
Some say they can't take it no more
(Comin here, comin here startin stuff)
But Dude is back on duty fo' sho'
(Back on the block to stay)
They say he ain't gonna be with it
(Comin back, comin back to the street)
But Dude he know you'll never forget it
(Back on the block to stay)
[ VERSE 3: Big Daddy Kane ]
Back up and give the brother room
To let poetry bloom to whom
It may concern or consume
As I reminisce before this
The bliss that exist
But now we brought about a twist
Cause I remember of my people bleedin
Put through slavery and killed for bravery
We shoulda got our freedom much sooner
You never seen a blackman on _The Honeymooners_
But now somehow we've learned to earn, to grow, to show
The elevation of a people built is so
Jesse Jackson, Miss America a black one
No more livin for just a small fraction
I was once told by the Dude that knowledge is a food
To nourish, so to conclude
This from an Asiatic descendant, Big Daddy is shocked
Yo Q, we back on the block

[ VERSE 4: Kool Moe Dee ]
An everlasting omnipresence is my present
State of being, seeing the unpleasant
Sight of righteous souls live like peasants
The mind stunts growth in adolescence
My insight enables me to enlight
The weakest of minds, and I put em in flight
As I transcend, a-scend or de-scend
Re-create, re-incarnate and re-send
The powerful spirits of our ancestors
For those that don't know how God blessed us
Because man messed up, the media dressed up
Lies perpetrated as truth, and it left us
Confused, but I've seen it all before
>From Babylon to the Third World War
I'm more than a man, I'm more like an entity
Back on the block, and this time my identity

I hold you
I touch you
In a maze can't find my way
I think you
I drink you
I'm being served you on a tray.
You see
girl
that's what I go through every day
Is this the way it should feel?
Pinch me
I'm dreaming
But if it is don't let me know.
I'm drowning
don't save me
It's just the way I'd like to go.
You see
girl
you thrill me
Half kill me
that's what you do.
Ai no corrida
that's were I am
You send me there -
Your dream is my command.
Ai no corrida
I find myself
no other thought
Jusa you and nothing else
you and nothing else.
Before my heart saw you
Each day was just another day
Night the lonely interlude just came
then blow away.
You know
girl
Everything was come what may
until you fell in my life.
This spell that I'm under has caught me
I'm in a daze
Your lightning and thunder sets my poor heart ablaze.
You see
girl
you thrill me
Half kill me
that's what you do.
Ai no corrida
that's were I am
. . .
Ai no corrida
that's were I am

Ai no corrida

I hold you
I touch you

Don't believe those clouds in the sky
'Cause they'll be moving on and the sun will shine
If the world's been passin' you by,
Just reach out for a star and you'll realize
Got to put back all the good times that we had
We can make it better with a little bit of razzamatazz
If you feel your life's in a rut
Just come on out tonight and we'll pull you up
Ain't no use in draggin' your feet
'Cause something's in the air that just can't be beat
Got to put back all the good times that we had
We can make it better with a little bit of razzamatazz
Bring out the rides with all those white walled tires
Let's go out cruisin' like we used to do
Get suited down let's set the town on fire
Jump out your seat and let the music pull you through
We can make it better with a little bit of razzamatazz
(Music interlude)
Got to put back all the good times that we had
We can make it better with a little bit of razzamatazz
Bring out the rides with all those white walled tires
Let's go out cruisin' like we used to do
Get suited down let's set the town on fire
Jump out your seat and let the music pull you through
You can lay your soul on the line
'Cause we can make it work
If we do it right
Got to spread the message around
The people of the world should be getting down
Got to put back all the good times that we had
We can make it better with a little bit of razzamatazz
We can make it better with a little bit of razzamatazz
We can make it better with a little bit of razzamatazz
We can make it better with a little bit of razzamatazz

Compliment what she does
Send her roses just because
If it's violins she loves
Let them play
Dedicate her favorite song
And hold her closer all night long
Lover her today
Find one hundred ways
Don't forget there could be
An old lover in her memory
If you need her so much more
Why don't you say
Maybe she has it in her mind
That she's just wasting her time
Ask her to stay
Find one hundred ways
Bein' cool won't help you keep a love warm
You'll just blow your chance
Take the time to open up your heart
That's the secret of romance
Sacrifice if you care
Buy her some moonlight to wear
If there's one more star she wants
Go all the way
In your arms tonight
She'll reflect that she owes you
The sweetest of debts if she wants to pay
Find one hundred ways
In your arms tonight
She'll reflect that she owes you
The sweetest of debts if she wants to pay
Find one hundred ways
Ya gotta believe it, whoa, love her today
Find one hundred ways
I'm telling you to love her today
Find one hundred ways
Oh, love her, love her, love her
One hundred ways
Yeah, yeah, you've got to love her today

I did my best but I guess my best wasn't good enough
'Cause here we are back where we were before
Seems nothing ever changes we're back to being strangers
Wondering if we oughta stay or head on out the door
Just once can't we figure out what we keep doing wrong?
Why we never last for very long? What are we doing wrong?
Just once can't we find a way to finally make it right?
To make the magic last for more than just one night
If we could just get to it, I know we could break through it
I gave my all but I think my all may have been too much
'Cause Lord knows we're not getting anywhere
Seems we're always blowing whatever we've got going
And it seems at times with all we've got, we haven't got a prayer
Just once can't we figure out what we keep doing wrong?
Why the good times never last for long? Where are we going wrong?
Just once can't we find a way to finally make it right?
To make the magic last for more than just one night
I know we could break through it, if we could just get to it just once
I want to understand
Why it always comes back to good-bye?
Why can't we get ourselves in hand?
And admit to one another we're no good without the other
Take the best and make it better find a way to stay together
Just once can't we find a way to finally make it right?
Oh make the magic last for more than just one night
I know we could break through it if we could just get to it
Just once
Oh we can get to it

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
You would cry too if it's happened to you
Nobody knows where my johnny has gone
But judy left the same time
Why was he holding her hand
When he's supposed to be mine
Play all my records keep dancing all night
But leave me alone for a while
'Till johnny's dancing with me
I've got no reason to smile
Judy and johnny just walked through that door
Like a queen with her king
Oh what a birthday surprise

Baby I just want you to understand
Just exactly how you make me feel
Oooh yeah

Ooooh... time after time, when I'm feelin low

Loves on my side
When the world... seems a lonely place
I've got a dream that won't leave a trace of the blues
I just think of you baby I know
[Chorus:]
I've got a real thing here by my side
Someone who needs me holding me tight
And these special feelings won't ever fade
Cause I knew from the start you put a move on my heart
Baby our loves like a melody playing for us
In the sweetest key you could find the music of life
And when we touch there's the warmest glow
Heat in the passion that heaven knows it's a dream
Just for you, you and me... and baby I know
[Chorus:]
I've got a real thing the love of my life
Someone who needs me and he feels me with pride
Baby now, now and forever, we'll never part
Cause you're the world to me you put a move on my heart

You're someone baby, someone that needs true love
And these, these special feelings, time can embrace

If you think I have got what you need

It was raining when I met you. You were soaking wet,
No time to be impressed, and I remember so much later
On, I knew that you were someone I would not forget.
Everybody's searching, hungry for the glamour, you
Know too many hearts are in a rush. No matter how you
Try to, you can't explain the places you find love.
I can't explain it, but I can feel it all around me.
The need to find the place where the feeling can be
Safe. It's not money that buys happiness. No, it's not
The shine of silver that puts the heart to rest.
Everybody's pushing, the clock is always running, and
One ever seems to have enough. And when you least
expect
Tt, you come upon the places you find love. Love, love,
remember...
Chorus
In a flash, the feeling can hit you after all the times
That it's missed you, reaching deep inside to find your
Secret heart, yeah yeah. Look around, you'll notice
You're flying, and for once, you're not even trying,
city
Lights below you like a million tiny stars, oh yeah.
It's a river never stopping, winding in and out, but
Should never doubt. It will lead you to the ocean
someday.
There's no way to fight it, let it carry you away.
Everybody's dreaming, waiting for the feeling, that
moment
When they finally rise above. But it's always in the
giving
That gets you to the place you find love. Love,
remember...
Chorus 2
In the poorest part of town, where the sun never
reaches the
Ground, and seeing's not believing, the feeling stays
alive,
Yeah yeah. Little children laughing and playing 'cause
they
Haven't learned to start hating. Never give up, no
'cause
They still believe in love, sweet love.
Love. Love. Love. Love. Love, remember...
Chorus
In a flash, the feeling can hit you after all the times
That it's missed you, reaching deep inside to find your
Secret heart, yeah yeah. Look around, you'll notice
You're flying, and for once, you're not even trying,
city
Lights below you like a million tiny stars, oh yeah.
Chorus 2
In the poorest part of town, where the sun never

'cause

If you're foolin', only foolin'
All I ask is "Why?"
If you're playin', all I'm sayin'
Is feelings sure collide
If you're lyin', keep on lyin'
Don't tell the truth, don't you dare
You can't drop me, 'cause baby you still got me
After takin' me way up there
Way up there
If I ever lose this heaven
If I ever, ever lose this heaven
Oh, I'll never be the same
If I ever lose this heaven
If I ever, ever lose this heaven
Oh, I'll never be the same
When you're kind, extra kind
Then suddenly, oh baby get crossed
You're so moody, you get to me
And I can't turn you off
You're fascinating, much more fascinating
Than the dark side of the moon
You're so exciting, hey baby I'm re-writing
This book of love called "You"
Yes it's you
If I ever lose this heaven
If I ever, ever lose this heaven
Oh, I'll never be the same
If I ever lose this heaven
If I ever, ever lose this heaven
Oh, I'll never be the same

Who is it

Don'tcha' go makin' no mojo moves
'Round the Dude
(Don't try no funny bizness.)
Don'tcha'you be coppin' no attitude
With the Dude
(Hey, hey here comes the Dude)
THE DUDE SPEAKS
Hey everybody in the neighborhood,
The beauty's on duty, better hear me good.
Sister e-flat tomato, brother b- flat balloon,
Somethin' funky's goin' down better listen to my tune.
I graduated from the college of the street,
I got a Ph..D. In how to make ends meet.
Inflation in the nation don't bother me,
'Cause I'm a scholar with the dollar
You can plainly see.
BRIDGE
He's a winner 'cause it's in his blood.
Ain't nobody who's out there like him.
Any corner in the neighborhood,
That's the place that you'll always find him.
Soft talkin' with a rap so sweet,
(He does it good)
Ladies call him the candy rapper.
(They want his love)
He's the only one that's really cool
(He's really cool)
That's the reason why he's the Dude.
CHORUS
Who is it
That ain't got time for foolish talkin''?
(it's the Dude)
Who is it
That looks so clean you can't ignore him?
(That's the dude)
VERSE 2
Don'tcha go mess with
His walkin' stick--not the dude
(Don't try no funny bizness)
Don't you double-cross him
He's super slick--he's the dude
(Hey, hey here come the dude)
THE DUDE SPEAKS AGAIN
I'm a stone cold taker,
I'm a piggy bank shaker,
An' I don't waste my time talkin' trash.
So if you go to my school,
You gotta learn this rule--
Don't let your mouth write a check
That your body can't cash
If you never had it,
Don't pay it no mind.
I know you're gonna get it,
If you take a little time.
Take a piece from the east,
A piece from the west
Put it where it feels good--
Let the Dude do the rest
CHANT
See him steppin' down the street
No forgettin', he's the Dude.
See him steppin' down the street
Don't forget it he's the Dude

So while I pour the wine
Set the music up nice and slow
Wanna move with you inside a groove
Like no one’s ever known
Let your body unwind in the warmth of mine
Tell me what you like

Once the music is right
Give me slow jams and hot romance
Rock me with that tender dance
Baby get closer so we can feel the power of love
Share my sweet groove the whole night through

Fly ribbons in the sky
Give me everything r. kelly sings
Let us bump and grind
Baby feel the beat
Here in my heart
Move with me in ecstacy

Give me slow jams and hot romance
Rock me in that tender dance

Pretty baby you are the soul that snaps my control
It's a funny thing but everytime I'm near you
I never can behave
You give me a smile and I'm wrapped up in your magic
Music all around me, crazy music, music that keeps calling me so
Baby close to you, turns me into your slave
Come on
Come and do with me any little thing that you want to
Anything, baby just met 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 sky
How I worry bout you
Just can't live my life without you
Baby come here, don't have no fear
Oh, is there 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 so 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 in rain
I'm sure our love together would endure a hurricane
Oh my baby
Won't you please let me love you and get a release from this awful misery
What is all this talk about loving me, my sweet
I am not afraid, not anymore, not like before
Don't you understand me, oh baby please
Pull yourself together, got to do it very soon
My heart's on fire, come on and take
I'll be what you make me, my darling
Oh, pretty 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 keep a lovin' state of mind
I'm so crazy mama
Never knew what love was all about

I want to know, baby
Just how you feel, girl
Said I wanna know
If what you feel is real, girl
'Cause there's a reason
For the things that I say, what I talk about
But oh, I wanna love ya girl
In a special way, come 'ere woman
We've been together, for so very long
I'd hate to break up, break up my happy home
(The way we stand and the way we lie)
The way we lie

Girl, we cry
(Of all these things, there comes a time)
There's a time

Heaven's girl is what you are to me
I can see your eyes staring into darkness
Tryin' to find the light, girl
And you're all alone
The man that's gone and breakin' up your happy home
Don't you worry, pretty baby
You take a chance
Hopin' that you'll find your lucky star
Do you know who you are?
Oh - heaven's girl
Oh, hold on - sugar hold on
Don't you be afraid to
Hold on - my baby
You say cast your fears
Hold me and I'll take away your painful tears
Girl
'cause I know your heart
I'll be there to mend it when it's torn apart
Yeah, my baby
Just believe in me
And I will show you things you've never seen
Do you know what I mean?
Heaven's girl
I'm asking you, asking you
I'm down on my knees, begging you please...
So you take a chance
Hopin' that you'll find your lucky star
Do you know who you are?
Don' worry baby, jus' hold on
Don' worry baby, jus' hold on
Listen, baby
When the sun comes up, I'll tell you I love you
And when the sun goes down, I'll say a prayer for you
You don't have to question heaven's love for you
Baby, reach for me, I'll hold out my hand for you

What would I give to hold you once again
What would I give to make this loneliness end
If I could bring you back
Back to where this love once lived
What would I give?
Everything
What would I do for one more precious moment with you
What would it take to make your heart hear the truth
To ease our pain I caused
Make up for the time I lost with you
What would I do?
Anything
Are you doing all right?
Have you found a life apart from me?
As it bring(s) you happiness
I don't want to know about it
'Cause night after night I try to fight the emptiness
In this quiet room
Life goes on without you
Where would I go
If only you would ask me to
No road is too long if it would lead me back to you
Somehow I found a way
If you called to say that you need me there
Where would I go?
Anywhere
Are you doing all right?
Have you found a life apart from me?
For now I must confess
That I don't want to talk about it
'Cause night after night I try to fight the emptiness
In this silent room
There's no peace without you
What would I give to hear you say you love me again
What would it take to make this loneliness end
If I could bring you back
Back to where this love once lived
What would I give?
Everything
What would I do?
Anything
What would I give? Oh...

When you're weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all
I'm on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Sail on Silver Girl,
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water

Five thousand lightyears from Birdland
But I'm still preachin' the rythym
Long gone uptight years from Birdland
And I'm still teachin' it with 'em
Years from the land of the Bird
And I am still feelin' the spirit
Five thousand lightyears from Birdland
But I know people can hear it
Bird named it, Bird made it
Bird heard it, Then played it
Well stated
Birdland
It happened down in Birdland
In the middle of that hub
I remember one jazz club
Where we went to pat feet
Down on 52nd Street
Everybody heard that word
That they named it after Bird
Where the rythym swooped and swirled
The jazz corner of the world
And the cats they giged in there
Were beyond compare
Birdland, I'm singing Birdland
Birdland, Old swingin' Birdland
Hey man, the music really turns you on (ya turn me on)
Really? Ya turn me around
And turn me on
Down them stairs, Lose them cares
Where? Down in Birdland
Total swing, Bop was king there
Down in Birdland
Bird would cook, Max would look
Where? Down in Birdland
Miles came through, Trane came too there
Down in Birdland
Basie blew, Blakie too
Where? Down in Birdland
Cannonball played that hall there
Down in Birdland, Yeah
There will never be nothin' such as that
No more, skoo be wah, no more
Down in Birdland, That's where it was at
I know, ah ah ah ah ah, I know
Back in them days bop was ridin' high
Hello, heh heh heh heh heh, Goodbye!
(Yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo...)
How well those cats remember their first Birdland gig
To play in Birdland is an honor we still dig
Yeah, That club was like in another world
Sure enough, Yeah baby
All those cats were cookin' on
People just sat and they were steady lookin' on
Then Bird, He came and spread the word
(Birdland)
Yes indeed he did
Yes indeed he did
Yes indeed he did, Yes he did Parker played in Birdland
Yes he really did
Yes indeed he really did told the truth way down in
Birdland
Yes indeed he did, Yardbird Parker played in Birdland
Yes indeed he really did, Charlie Parker played in
Birdland
Bird named it, Bird made it
Bird heard it, Then played it
Well stated
Birdland
It happened down in Birdland
Everybody dug that beat
Everybody stomped their feet
Everybody digs be bop
And they'll never stop
Down them stairs, Lose them cares
Yeah, Down in Birdland
Total swing, Bop was king
Yeah, Down in Birdland
Bird would cook, Max would look
Yeah, Down in Birdland
Miles came through, Trane came too
Yeah, Down in Birdland
Basie blew, Blakie too
Yeah, Down in Birdland
Cannonball played that hall
Yeah, Down in Birdland
(repeat under the following solo till fade)
Come in pairs, Down them stairs, Lose your cares
Him that cares gets it
Play the gate, Don't be late, It's a date
What d'ya know
Is it me, Is it you, It's a clue
Come in twos, Pay your dues, What can you lose?
Just your blues, So lose them!

Patti:
Thinkin' back in time
When love was only in my mind, I realize
Ain't no second chance
You've got to hold on to romance, don't let it slide
There's a special kind of magic in the air
When you find another heart that needs to share
Chorus
Baby, come to me, let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be and I'm oh so glad I found you
Need you every day, gotta have your love around me
Baby, always stay 'cause I can't go back to livin'
without you
James:
Spendin' every dime
To keep you talkin' on the line
That's how it was
And all those walks together out in any kind of weather
Just because
There's a brand-new way of looking at your life
When you know that they'll be standing by your side
Chorus
James:
The nights can be cold
There's a chill to every evenin' when you're all alone
Patti:
Don't talk anymore
'Cause you know that I'll be here to keep you warm
(Oh, darling keep me warm)
Chorus
Baby, come to me, let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be and I'm oh so glad I found you
Need you every day, gotta have your love around me
Baby, always stay
Patti: 'cause I can't go back to livin' without you
Chorus
Baby, come to me, let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be and I'm oh so glad I found you
Need you every day, gotta have your love around me
Baby, always stay
James: 'cause I can't go back to livin' without you
Chorus
Baby, come to me, let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be
and I'm oh so glad I found you
Need you every day, gotta have your love around me

I hold you, I touch you
In a maze can't find my way
I think you, I drink you
I'm being served you on a tray
You see girl
That's what I go through every day
Is this the way it should feel?
Pinch me, I'm dreaming
But if it is don't let me know
I'm drowning, don't save me
It's just the way I'd like to go
You see girl
You thrill me, half kill me
That's what you do...
Ai no corrida, that's where I am
You send me there
You dream is my command
Ai no corrida, I find myself
No other thought
Just you and nothing else
You and nothing else
Before my heart saw you
Each day was just another day
Night, the lonely interlude
Just came, then blew away
You know girl
Everything was come what may
Until you fell in my life
This spell I'm under
Has caught me, I'm in a daze
Your lightning and thunder
Sets my poor heart ablaze
You see girl
You thrill me, half kill me
That's what you do
Ai no corrida, that's where I am
You send me there
You dream is my command
Ai no corrida, I find myself
No other thought
Just you and nothing else
You and nothing else
Ai no corrida, that's where I am
You send me there
You dream is my command
Ai no corrida, I find myself
No other thought
Just you and nothing else
You and nothing else
Ai no corrida, that's where I am
You send me there
You dream is my command
Ai no corrida, I find myself
No other thought
Just you and nothing else
You and nothing else
I hold you, I touch you
In a maze can't find my way
I think you, I drink you
I'm being served you on a tray
You see girl
That's what I go through every day
Is this the way it should feel?
Pinch me, I'm dreaming
But if it is don't let me know
I'm drowning, don't save me
It's just the way I'd like to go
You see girl
You thrill me, half kill me
That's what you do...
Ai no corrida, that's where I am
You send me there
You dream is my command
Ai no corrida, I find myself
No other thought
Just you and nothing else

Ai no, Ai no, Corrida
Ai no, Ai no, Corrida
I hold you, I touch you
In a maze can't find my way
I think you, I drink you
I'm being served you on a tray
You see girl, that's what I go through every day
Is this the way it should feel
So pinch me, I'm dreamin'
But if it is don't let me know
I'm drowning, don't save me
This is the way I want to go
You see girl, you thrill me, half
kill me, that's what you do
Chorus:
Ai No Corrida, that's where I am
You send me there, your dream is my command
Ai No Corrida, I find myself
No other thought, just you and nothing else
You and nothing else
Before I first saw you each day
was just another day
Night the lonely interlude just
came, then blew away
You know girl, everything was
come what may until you fell
in my life
This spell that I'm under has caught me in a daze
Your lightning and thunder sets
my poor heart ablaze
You see girl, you thrill me, half
kill me that's what you do
Chorus
Ai no, Ai no, Corrida
Ai no, Ai no, Corrida

Famous quotes by Quincy Jones:

"They said, 'Why don't you make a hit record?' I said, 'It's not a big deal.' Because jazz musicians, there was a syndrome there. And the first record I had out was (Lesley Gore's) 'It's My Party.' I was trying to get her to change her name and I had to go to Tokyo for three weeks. I said, 'We'll fix it when I get back.' So, as soon as I got back it was No. 1. We did it, man. We had 19 hits in four years. Unbelievable."

"Irvin has a broad taste. That's why he had all those (vocalist) girls. He had everybody, man. It was across the board and I think that's what we shared, that diversified taste."

"It's worth about a half-billion dollars now. He had magazine publishing, too, with Liberty. It's ironic because I ended up being the founder of Vibe magazine. There are just a few people who will teach you what that's about."

"Tony is the one who knows how to fly us to the moon and get us back."

"I am committing myself to doing everything possible to pull the resources together to aid the children of not only Cambodia, but the children of all the countries in the world."

"I've never looked back in my life. I don't want to see that stuff. I had blanked out a lot of stuff ... putting my mother in a straitjacket, my father holding her down, screaming."

"Ray Charles is a giant. He was one of my mentors. He would write arrangements in Braille, and translate it to me. At 14 and 16 we used to sit in Seattle on those rainy days and dream about what would happen."

"I don't deserve a Songwriters Hall of Fame Award. But fifteen years ago, I had a brain operation and I didn't deserve that, either. So I'll keep it."

"Your future is so bright it burns my eyes"

"Peace is possible around the world, and children are the answer."

"Imagine what a harmonious world it could be if every single person, both young and old shared a little of what he is good at doing."

"Music in movies is all about dissonance and consonance, tension and release."

"I went with Lionel Hampton for three years. Out of that came a trip to Europe."

"I found this out over the years, that racism is a thinly veiled disguise over economics and money. It really is."

"I'm never in my life going to do a record that's a tribute to myself. I don't need it."

"My grandmother had this high-tech security system - a rusty nail she used to lock the door."

"If architecture is frozen music then music must be liquid architecture."

"We spent most of our life almost like street rats just running around the street until we were ten years old."

"I was inspired by a lot of people when I was young. Every band that came through town, to the theater, or the dance hall. I was at every dance, every night club, listened to every band that came through, because in those days we didn't have MTV, we didn't have television."

"I'm a great believer in letting lyrics just flow out, wherever they come from."
