I saw the light, I saw the light
No more darkness, no more night
Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light
I wandered so aimless, my heart filled with sin
I wouldn't let my dear Savior in
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night
Praise the Lord, I saw the light
I saw the light, I saw the light
No more darkness, no more night
Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light
Just like a blind man I wandered alone
Worries and fears, I claimed for my own
Then like the blind man that God gave back his sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light
I saw the light, I saw the light
No more darkness, no more night
Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light
I was a fool to wander and stray
Straight is the gate and narrow the way
Now I have traded the wrong for the right
Praise the Lord, I saw the light
I saw the light, I saw the light
No more darkness, no more night
Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight

My love must be a kind of blind love
I can't see anyone but you.
Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
I Only Have Eyes For You, Dear.
The moon maybe high
but I can't see a thing in the sky,
'Cause I Only Have Eyes For You.
I don't know if we're in a garden,
or on a crowded avenue.
You are here
So am I
Maybe millions of people go by,
but they all disappear from view.

What would you do if I told you that I'm falling in love
again?
I found a love that will hold my hand and baby she
understands
A way to make my heart beat faster.
Is this heaven we're living in?
A way to make my life worth living.
I've fallen in love again.
I've got to ask you now, baby:
What would you say if I told you that I'm falling in love
again?
I found a love that will hold my hand and baby she
understands
A way to make my heart beat faster.
Is this heaven we're living in?
A way to make my life worth living.
I've fallen in love again.

I I used to think that I could not go wrong
And life was nothing but that an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms
2-If I can see it, then I can do (be) it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
1-I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
(Oh) I believe I can fly
See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes inside us, it can seem so long
There are miracles in life I must achieve

How much do I love you?
Ill tell you no lie
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?
How many times a day do I think of you?
How many roses are sprinkled with dew?
How far would I travel
To be where you are?
How far is the journey
>from here to a star?
And if I ever lost you, how much would I cry?
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?
How far would I travel
To be where you are?
How far is the journey
>from here to a star?
And if I ever lost you, how much would I cry?
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?

I'VE BEEN LYIN' HERE THINKIN' OVER OLD TIMES
OLD FRIENDS OF YOURS, OLD FRIENDS OF MINE
AT LEAST HALF OF THESE HEARTS HAVE BEEN BROKEN IN TWO
SOMETIMES LOVE JUST AIN'T STRONG ENOUGH
SOME GIVE IN AND SOME GIVE UP AND IT STARTED ME
THINKIN'
WHAT WOULD I DO WITHOUT YOU.
SO YOU CAN HOLD ME IN YOUR SWEET LOVIN' ARMS
TAKE ME WHERE IT'S SAFE AND WARM
HOLD ME, JUST A LITTLE LONGER TONIGHT.
PEOPLE TAKE LOVE FOR A FOOLISH THING
SOME TEAR IT DOWN, SOME GIVE IT WINGS
I'D LIKE TO THINK
THAT WE COULD FLY AWAY, HEY HEY YEAH.
YOU ALWAYS HAVE, SAY ALWAYS WILL
STAND BY ME BABY, TILL THE WORLD STANDS STILL
SAY YOU WILL, SAY IT TONIGHT BABY
SAY YOU WILL.
OH, HOLD ME IN YOUR SWEET LOVIN' ARMS
TAKE ME WHERE IT'S SAFE AND WARM
HOLD ME, JUST A LITTLE LONGER TONIGHT.
HOLD ME JUST A LITTLE LONGER TONIGHT.
HOLD ME, I I I WANT YOU TO TAKE ME
OH BABY NOW HOLD ME BABY
I I I WANT YOU TO TAKE ME
OHH HOLD ME
I I I WANT YOU TO TAKE ME NOW BABY

I'm going down the road, stop at Fannie Mae's
Gonna tell Fannie what I've heard her boyfriend say
Don't start me that talking
I'll tell everything I know
Gonna break up this signifying
Everybody's got to go
Jack gave his wife two dollars,
to go down town, get some margarine
Gets out on the street, old George stopped her
He knocked her down and blackened her eye
Get back home and tell her husband a lie
Don't start me that talking
I'll tell everything I know
I'm gonna break up this signified
Cause somebody's got to go
She borrowed some money, go to the beauty shop
He honked his horn and she began to stop
Said: take me baby around the block
I'm going to the beauty shop
where I can get my hair "sot"
Don't start me talking
I'll tell everything I know
I'm gonna break up this signified

If you keep on playin' around
You gonna lose me, oh baby
Don't lose your good thing now
Now listen, you better wake up
You better settle down, don't lose it
Don't lose your good thing now
I tried, I tried to please you
Oh, in everything I do
'Cause I want you
Ooh, hey love, Lord knows I need you
Ooh, ooh honey, Lord so bad
Ooh, so bad, ooh
I'll always love you
No matter what you do

And I won't be around
Ooh, oh darling, oh baby
Don't lose your good thing now

To keep on, to keep on lovin' you now
Oh, but I want you
Ooh Lord, ooh honey, now
I need, I need you, ooh yeah
Ooh honey, so bad, bad now
Bad, ooh, ooh, ooh
If you keep on playin' around
You don't miss your water till your well runs dry
Please, please honey

Build your dreams to the stars above
But when you need someone true to love
Don’t go to strangers, darling, come on to me
Play with fire till your fingers burn
And when there’s no place for you to turn
Don’t go to strangers, darling, come on to ,e
For, when you hear a call to follow your heart
You’ll follow your heart I know
I’ve been through it all and I’m an old hand
And I’ll understand if you go
So make your mark for your friends to see
But when you need more than company
Don’t go to strangers, come on to me
Oh, make you mark for your friends to see
But when you need more than company

Hush now, dont explain
Just say you'll remain
I'm glad you're back, don't explain
Quiet, don't explain
What is there to gain?
Skip that lipstick
Don't explain
You know that I love you
And what love endures
All my thoughts are of you
For I'm so completely yours
Cry to hear folks talk
And I know you'll cheat
Right or wrong, don't matter
When you're with me, sweet
Hush, don't explain
You're my joy and pain
My life's yours love
Dont explain
You know that I love you
And what love endures
All my thoughts are of you
For I'm so completely yours
Cry to hear folks chatter
And I know you'll cheat
Right or wrong, don't matter
When you're with me, sweet
Hush, don't explain
You're my joy and pain
My life's yours love

Don't cry, don't cry baby
Don't cry baby
Dry your eyes, and let's be sweethearts again
And oh, cuz you know
You know I didn't mean
To ever treat you so mean
C'mon, c'mon sweetheart
And let's try it over again
And oh, don't cry
Don't cry baby
Don't cry, don't cry
Dry your eyes, and let's be sweethearts again
And oh, cuz you know I didn't mean
To ever treat you so mean
C'mon, c'mon sweetheart

Take me to heart
And I'll always love you
And nobody can make me do wrong
Take me for granted
Leaving love unshown
Makes will power weak
And temptation strong
[Chorus:]
A woman's only human
You should understand
She's not just a plaything
She's flesh and blood
Just like her man
If you want a do right all's day woman
You gotta be a do right all's night man
They say it's a man's world
But you can't prove that by me
And as long as we're together
Show some respect for me
If you want a do right all's day woman
You gotta be a do right all's night man
[Chorus]
If you want a do right all's day woman
You gotta be a do right all's night man
If you want a do right all's day woman

Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck,
I wouldn't have no luck at all
Hard luck and trouble is my only friend
I been on my own ever since I was ten
Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck,
I wouldn't have no luck at all
I can't read, haven't learned how to write
My whole life has been one big fight
Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck,
I wouldn't have no luck at all
I ain't lyin'
If it wasn't for bad luck
I wouldn't have no kind-a luck
If it wasn't for real bad luck,
I wouldn't have no luck at all
Wine and women is all I crave
A big legged woman is
gonna carry me to my grave
Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck,
I wouldn't have no luck at all
Yeah, my bad luck boy

It's not just sentimental, no no no
She has her grief and cares, yeah yeah yeah
But the soft words they are spoke so gentle, yeah
It makes it easier, easier to bare, yeah
Oh, she may be weary
Young girls they do get weary
Wearing that same old shaggy dress, yeah
But when she gets weary
Try a little tenderness,
Oh, that's all you got to do, now
You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
For things that she'll never never possess, ah no now
But while she's waiting there, all you gotta do is
Try a little tenderness, oh yeah
It's not just sentimental, no no no
She's had her grief and cares, yeah yeah yeah
But the soft words they are spoke so gentle
It makes it easier, easier to bare, yeah
You won't regret it, no no
Young girls they don't forget it
Love, love, love is their whole happiness, ah yeah,
yeah
But it's all so easy
All you have to do is try a little tenderness, ah
tenderness
All you have to do is try a little tenderness
All you have to do is be nice
Try a little tenderness
Squeeze her, don't leave her,

You thought you had found a good girl
One to love you and give you the world
Now you find that you've been misused
Talk to me, I'll do what you choose, I want you to
Tell Mama all about it
Tell Mama what you need
Tell Mama what you want
And I'll make everything alright
That girl you had didn't have no sense
She wasn't worth all the time that you spent
She had another man throw you outdoors
Now the same man is wearing your clothes, I want you to
Tell Mama all about it
Tell Mama what you need
Tell Mama what you want
And I'll make everything alright
Tell me, tell me now
She would embarrass you anywhere
She'd let everybody know she didn't care
Give me a chance I've been beggin' you
And I just want to take care of you, I want you to
Tell Mama all about it
Tell Mama what you need
Tell Mama what you want
Tell Mama what you want right now
Tell me, tell your mom
I'm your Mama

If you want something to play with
Go and find yourself a toy
Baby, my time is too expensive
And I'm not a little boy
If you are serious
Don't play with my heart, it makes me furious
But if want me to love you
Then, baby, I will, girl, you know I will
Tell it like it is
Don't be ashamed to let your conscience be your guide
But I-I-I-I-I know deep down inside of me
I believe you love me, forget your foolish pride
Life is too short to have sorrow
You may be here today and gone tomorrow
You might as well get what you want
So go on and live, baby, go on and live
Tell it like it is
I'm nothin' to play with, go and find yourself a toy
But I-I-I-I-I
Tell it like it is
My time is too expensive
And I'm not your little boy
FADE

I'm just a fool who really loves you
There is no greater fool than me
You told me lies and I believed you
How big a fool can you be
I close my eyes when people tell me
They saw you kissin' someone new
I just won't let my heart believe it
I'm just a fool in love with you
Some day you may be crying
Crying over me
And if that ever happens
A fool you too may be
Why don't you change your way of livin'?
And walk the straight and never lie
The Lord forgives a fool who's willin'
I'll give the world to make you mine
Some day you may be crying
Crying over me
And if that ever happens
A fool you too, you too may be
Why don't you change your way of livin'?
And walk the straight and never lie
The Lord forgives a fool who's willin'

It could be a spoonful of coffee
It could be a spoonful of tea
But one little spoon of your precious love
Is good enough for me
Men lie about that spoonful
Some cry about that spoonful
Some die about that spoonful
Everybody fight about a spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
It could be a spoonful of water
To save you from the desert sand
But one spoon of love from my forty five
Will save you from another man
Men lie about that spoonful
Some cry about that spoonful
Some die about that spoonful
Everybody fightin' about a spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
It could be a spoonful of sugar
It could be a spoonful of tea
But one little spoon of your precious love
Is good enough for me
Men lie about that spoonful
Some cry about that spoonful
Some die about that spoonful
Everybody fightin' about a spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful

Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me, or far
Its no matter darling where you are
I think of you
Day and night, night and day, why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffics boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Day and night, night and day
Under the hide of me
Theres an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And this torment wont be through
Until you let me spend my life making love to you

Sorrow
is the street that I'm living on
Across Pain Avenue
In a town call Moan
The people I see are sadder than me
A river of tears
Don't you know it flows by my door
And I'm living
(Next door to the Blues)
Yes I'm living
(Next door to the Blues)
And after all I've been through
I've had to move
Oh Lord
next door to the Blues
Memory
You can tell it in my talk
My heart hurts
Even when I walk
I cry on
a pillar made of stone
Pity is my name
And that thing called love is to blame
And I'm living
(Next door to the Blues)
Yes I'm living
(Next door to the Blues)
And after all I've been through
I've had to move, oh Lord
next door to the Blues
Bittersweet
Is the food that I cook
My only joy is in a storybook
the talk I give
Every word brings a tear
Every hello
Just ends with a sad goodbye
And I'm living
(Next door to the Blues)
Yes I'm living
(Next door to the Blues)
And after all I've been through
I've had to move, Oh Lord

You asked me if there'll come a time when
I grow tired of you
Never my love
You wonder if this heart of mine
Will lose it's desire for you
Never my love, never my love
Never my love
What makes you think love will end
When you know that my whole life depends
On you
Never my love
You say you fear I'll change my mind and I
Won't require your youth
Never my love, no never, never my love
Now how can you think love will end when
I've asked you to spend your whole life
With me
Never my love, never my love
Never my love, never my love
Never my love
I'll leave you never my love
Oh, believe me baby
I want you forever and ever

I was lost in the world of dreams
counting every star shining overhead it seems
I was like a shepherd boy
searching for his lamb
round here round there round everywhere
You came, yeah you captured me
You and all your charms
Oh yes you set me free
We kissed and the world was ours
And my heart cried oh, I love you so
Then my heart cried oh, I love you so
Then my heart cried oh, I love you so, love you so, love

My funny valentine, sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable, un-photographable
Yet, you're my favorite work of art
Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
But, don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine, stay
Each day is Valentine's Day
(Orchestral Break)
Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
But, don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine, stay

Miss you baby, miss you baby (what I feel)
Miss you baby (you should take what I take)
Miss you, miss you baby (what I feel)
Miss you, baby, miss you baby (you should take what I
take)
(2x:)
Miss you, miss you baby
Miss you baby, miss you baby
I've been holding out so long
I've been sleeping all alone
'Cause I miss you
I've been hanging on the phone
I've been sleeping all alone
I want kiss you
(8x:)
Hey, come on
Come on
Well I've been haunted in my sleep
You've been starring in my dreams
'Cause I miss you, child
I've been waiting in the hall
I've been waiting on your call
'Cause I miss you
I miss you baby
I've been holding out so long
I've been sleeping all alone
'Cause I miss you
I've been hanging on the phone
I've been sleeping all alone
I want kiss you
Miss you baby, miss you baby
Miss you baby
Miss you, miss you baby
Miss you baby, miss you baby
Baby, why do you wait so long?
I won't to know, yeah - yeah
Baby, why do you wait so long?
(8x:)
Hey, come on

I've got dreams
Dreams to remember
I've got dreams Dreams to remember
Honey I saw you there last night
Another womans arms holding you tight
Nobody knows what I feeled inside
All I know, I walked away and cried
I've got dreams
Dreams to remember
I've got dreams, rough dreams Dreams to remember
I know you said she was just your friend
But I saw you kiss her again and again
These eyes of mine, they don't fool me
Why did she hold you so tenderly?
I've got dreams
Dreams to remember
I've got dreams
Dreams, rough dreams
Dreams to remember
I still want you to stay
I still love you anyway, anyway
I don't want you to ever leave
Before you satisfy me! [Ooh-Wee!]
I know you said she was just a friend
But I saw you kiss her again and again, again
These eyes of mine, they don't fool me
Why did she hold you so tenderly?
I've got dreams
Dreams to remember
I've got dreams
Dreams, bad dreams
Dreams, rough dreams
To remember
Don't make me suffer
Dreams, bad dreams
Dreams, rough dreams

I've been loving you too long
to stop now
You are tired...
And you want to be free
My love is growing stronger,
as you become a habit to me
I've been loving you a little too long
I don't wanna stop now
With you my life
Has been so wonderful
I can't, I can't stop now
You are tired
And your love is growing cold
My love is growing stronger
as our affair, our affair grows old
I've been loving you a little too long
I don't want to stop now
I've been loving you a little too long
I don't wanna, I don't wanna stop now
And don't make me stop now
Oh 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 my heart
And I can't stop now
Please, please, please don't make me stop now
yeah yeah yeah
I love you

I know you've been hurt by someone else
I can tell by the way you carry yourself
But if you let me here's what I'll do
I'll take care of you
I, I've loved and lost the same as you
So you see I know just what you've been through
But if you let me here's what I'll do
Oh I just got to take care of you,
You won't ever have to worry
You won't ever have to cry
I'll be there beside you
To dry your weeping eyes
So darling tell me that you'll be true
For there is no doubt in my mind
I know what I want to do
Understand, sure as one and one is two
Oh, you know I'll take care of you

I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day and through
In that small cafe
The park across the way
The children carrousel
The chestnut trees
The wishing well
I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way
I'll find in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you
I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way
I'll find in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you
Sometimes billie sung the next verse

Cathedral bells were tolling
As our love sang on.
Was it the spell of paris,
Or just the april dawn?
Who knows if we will meet again,

Baby, take off your coat...(real slow)
Baby, take off your shoes...(here, I'll take your shoes)
Baby, take off your dress
Yes, yes, yes
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
Go on over there and turn on the light...no, all the
lights
Now come back here and stand on this chair...that's right
Raise your arms up in to the air...shake 'em
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
Suspicious minds are talking
Trying to tear us apart
They say that my love is wrong
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is

I got a heart full of trouble, a house full of sin.
And things are bad as they ever been.
If trouble were money,
I'd have more money than any man should.
I'm open for business in your neighborhood,
The blues is my business, and business is good.
If I had a dollar for every broken heart,
I'd be drinkin' fine wine and eatin' caviar.
If trouble were money,
I'd have more money than any man should.
I'm open for business in your neighborhood,
The blues is my business, and business is good.
Well business, the business is good.

Don?t know why
There?s no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain?t together
Keeps raining all of the time
Oh yeah, life is bad
Gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather, stormy weather
And I just can get my poor self together
Oh, I?m weary all of the time
The time, so weary all of the time
When he went away
The blues walked in and met me
Oh yeah, if he stays away
Old rockin' chair is gonna get me
All I do is pray, the Lord will let me
Walk in the sun once more
Oh, I can't go on, can't go on, can't go on
Everything I have is gone
Stormy weather, stormy weather
Since my man and I
Me and my daddy ain?t together
Keeps raining all of the time

Not tomorrow but, but right now
And I know it's late, but oh you don't make me wait
So come on baby let's steal away and oh let's steal away

There's a saying old, says that love is blind
Still we're often told, "seek and ye shall find"
So i'm going to seek a certain lad i've had in mind
Looking everywhere, havent found him yet
He's the big affair I cannot forget
Only man i ever think of with regret
I'd like to add his inital to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
There's a somebody I'm longin' to see
I hope that he, turns out to be
Someone to watch over me
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
I know i could, always be good
To one who'll watch over me
Although he may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
To my heart he carries the key
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how i need
Someone to watch over me
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how i need
Someone to watch over me
Someone to watch over me

A love to last past Saturday night
And I’d like to know it’s more than love at first sight
And I want a Sunday kind of love

Every minute, every hour, every day

Something told me it was over
When I saw you and her talkin'
Something deep down in my soul said, 'Cry, girl'
When I saw you and that girl walkin' around
Whoo, I would rather, I would rather go blind, boy
Then to see you walk away from me, child, no
Whoo, so you see, I love you so much
That I don't wanna watch you leave me, baby
Most of all, I just don't, I just don't wanna be free, no
Whoo, whoo, I was just, I was just, I was just
Sittin here thinkin', of your kiss and your warm embrace, yeah
When the reflection in the glass that I held to my lips now, baby
Revealed the tears that was on my face, yeah
Whoo and baby, baby, I'd rather, I'd rather be blind, boy
Then to see you walk away, see you walk away from me, yeah

Trust in me in all you do
Have the faith I have in you
Love will see us through, if only you trust in me
Why don't you trust me?
Come to me when things go wrong
Cling to me daddy and I'll be strong
We can get along, we can get along if only you trust in me
While there's a moon, a moon on high
While there are birds, birds to fly
While there is you, you and II can be sure that I love you....
Stand beside me, stand beside me all the while
Come on daddy face the future, why don't you smile?
Trust in me, and I'll be worthy of you
Why don't you trust in me in all you do?
Have the faith that I have in you
And love will see us through, if only you trust in me
Why don't you come to me, when things go wrong, cling to me and I'll be strong

The sky is cryin. Can't you see the tears roll down the
street
The sky is cryin. Can't you see the tears roll down the
street
I've been looking for my baby
And I wonder where can she be
I saw my baby early one morning. She was walking on down
the street
I saw my baby early this morning. She was walking on down
the street
You know it hurt me, hurt me so bad
Made my poor heart skip a beat
[guitar solo x2]
I've got a real real real real bad feelin that my baby
she don't love me no more
I've got a real real bad feelin that my baby don't love
me no more
You know the sky, the sky's been cryin

It's very clear
Our love is here to stay
Not for a year
But ever and a day
The radio
And the telephone
And the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies
And in time may go
But oh my dear
Our love is here to stay
Together we're
Going a long, long way
In time the rockies may crumble
Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay but
Our love is here to stay
The radio
And the telephone
And the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies
And in time may go
But oh my dear
Our love is here to stay
Together we're
Going a long, long way
In time the rockies may crumble
Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay but
Our love is here to
Our love is here to

Looking back over my life
I can see where I have caused you strife
But I know, oh yes, I know
I'd never make that same mistake again
Looking back over my deeds
I can see signs a wise man heeds
And if I just had the chance
I'd never make that same mistake again
Once my cup was overflowing
But I gave nothing in return
Now I can't begin to tell you
What a lesson I have learned
Looking back over the slate
I can see love turn to hate
But I know, oh yes, I know
I'd never make that same mistake again
Once my cup was overflowing
But I gave nothing in return
Now I can't begin to tell you
Oh, what a lesson I have learned
Looking back over the slate
I can see love turn to hate
But I know, oh yes, I know

I wouldn't count the times we talked about tomorrow
And I wouldn't sing the lines if some one played our song
On lonely nights like this when I need a friend
You'd be the last one I'd call
Oh if I had any pride left at all
I would keep a place just to set your picture
Reach out to touch your face and feel you in my arms
And I wouldn't be here now parked outside your house
Not ashamed to crawl oh if I had any pride left at all
And only a fool would still be wearing this ring
Ringing your front doorbell
And I wouldn't let my heart stay wrapped around your
finger
And I wouldn't fall apart when you open the door
Like all the other times when your eyes met mine
These teardrops wouldn't fall
Oh if I had any pride left at all

When you wake up in the morning and you wonder
Why no one's beside you where I usually lay
And you think you hear the sound of a distant thunder
It's just your old rock rolling away
I was your rock standing strong for you
There was nothing I wouldn't do
No matter the cost I was ready to pay
Now you say I'm only holding you down
Like some old rock you've been dragging around
Yes I'm your rock but i'm rolling away
I'm rolling away on a downhill grade
But I'm coming to rest side a mountain of love some day
Cause I finally understand if you're resting on shifting
sands
Even a rock goes rolling away
And I was your rock standing strong for you
There was nothing I wouldn't do
No matter the cost I was ready to pay
oh Now you say I'm only holding you down
Like some old rock you've been dragging around
Yes i'm your rock and I'm rolling away

Why do I just wither and forget all resistance
When you and your magic pass by
My hearts in a dither dear
When youre at a distance
But when you are near, oh my...
Its not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me,
Oh no
Its just the nearness of you
It isnt your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation,
Oh no
Its just the nearness of you
When youre in my arms
And I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams
Came true
I need no soft lights to enchant me
If youll only grant me
The right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night

Dream when you're feeling blue
Dream that's the thing to do
Just watch the smoke rings rise in the air
And I know you'll find your child memories there
So dream when the day is through
Oh, dream and they might come true
And things never are as bad as they seem
So dream, dream, dream
Dream when you're feeling blue
And ooh, dream, that's the thing to do
And just watch the smoke rings rise in the air

You'll find your share of memories there
So dream when the day is through

So come on and dream, dream, oh, dream

Someday he'll come along
The man I love
And he'll be big and strong
The man I Love
And when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stay
He'll look at me and smile
I'll understand
And in a little while
He'll take my hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both won't say a word
Maybe I shall meet him Sunday
Maybe Monday
Maybe not
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday
Will be my good news day
He'll build a little home
Just meant for two
From which I'd never roam
Who would, would you?
And so all else above
I'm waiting for the man I love
Maybe I shall meet him Sunday
Maybe Monday
Maybe not
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday
Will be my good news day
He'll build a little home
Just meant for two
From which I'd never roam
Who would, would you?
And so all else above

You told me baby
Once upon a time
If I'd been yours
Little boy you'd be mine
But that's alright
I know you love another girl
But that's alright
Well sometimes I wonder
Who's loving you tonight
You told me baby
Your love for me was strong
When I woke up this morning
All your big words had gone
But that's alright
I know you love another girl
But that's alright
Sometimes I wonder
Who's loving you tonight
When I was loving you
You just couldn't understand
You've gone and left me here
Without a man
But that's alright
I know you love another girl
But that's alright
Sometimes I wonder
Who's loving you tonight
You told me baby
Once upon a time
If I'd been yours
Litte boy you'd be mine
But that's alright
I know you love another girl
But that's alright
Sometimes I wonder

Waiting for Charlie to come home
Bring me all the love I need
Waiting for Charlie to come home
Bring me his lips, his wild hungry arms
And all of the love that I need
I said a lot of things to him I didn't mean to say
Instead of holding him close to me I drove him far away
Here am I the fool who let happiness walk out the door, no
And I don't really believe that he wants to come back to me anymore
And I'm waiting for Charlie to come home
And bring me all the love I need
Waiting for Charlie to come home
Bring me his lips, his wild hungry arms

Talkin' about you a man always ready to go
Now when it comes to movin', babe you're awful slow
And holler oh oh oh oh woah

You ain't got nothing in your pockets to keep me alive
But I got something for all you men to make you cry

Well Davey Crokett king of the wild frontier

And holler oh oh oh oh woah
And holler oh oh oh oh woah
I'm a w-o-m-a-n, a woman, a woman, woman, woman, woman,

You've changed
The sparkle in your eyes is gone
Your smile is just a careless yawn
You're breaking my heart
You've changed
You've changed
Your kisses are so blase
You're bored with me in every way
I can't understand
You've changed
You've forgotten the words, 'I love you'
Each memory that we've shared
You've ignored every star up above you
I can't realize you ever cared
Oh, you've changed
You're not the angel I once knew
Oh, no need to tell me that we're through, babe
It is all over now
You've changed
Oh baby, you've changed
You're not the angel I once knew
Oh, no need to tell me that we're through, babe
It is all over now
You've changed

You go to my head
And you linger like a haunting refrain
And I find you spinning round in my brain
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne
You go to my head
Like a sip of sparkling burgundy brew
And I find the very mention of you
Like the kicker in a julep or two
The thrill of the thought
That you might give a thought to my plea
Casts a spell over me
Still I say to myself "Get a hold of yourself"
Can't you see that it never can be
You go to my head
With a smile that makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand Julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance
You go to my head
You go to my head
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance
You go to my head

You don't know, you don't know
You don't know what love is
You don't know what love is
Until you've learned the meaning of the blues
Until you've lost a love, you had to lose
You don't know what love is
You don't know how lips hurt
Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost
Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost
You don't know what love is
Do you know how a lost heart fears
They lose their taste for kissing
You don't know how hearts burn
For love that cannot live yet never dies
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
Oh, you don't know what love is
Oh, you don't know, you don't know love is
Oh, you don't know
Do you know how a lost heart fears
The thought of reminiscing
And how lips that taste os tears
They lose their taste for kissing
You don't know how hearts burn
For love that cannot live yet never dies
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
Oh no, you don't know what love is
You don't know what love is
You don't know, you don't know what love is
Oh, you don't know, oh you don't know
You don't know, you don't know what love is
Oh, you don't know, oh you don't know
Oh, you don't know, I say you don't know

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
In the lane snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking in the winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is the new bird
He sings a love song as we go along
Walking in the winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build the snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown

Willow weep for me
Willow weep for me
Bend your branches green along the stream that runs to
Listen to my plea
Hear me willow and weep for me
Gone my lovers dream
Lovely summer dream
Gone and left me here to weep my tears into the stream
Sad as I can be
Hear me willow and weep for me
Whisper to the wind and say that love has sinned
Left my heart a-breaking, and making a moan
Murmur to the night to hide its starry light
So none will see me sighing and crying all alone
Weeping willow tree
Weep in sympathy
Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me
When the shadows fall, hear me willow and weep for me
Oh, Weeping willow tree
Weep in sympathy
Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me

I met this guy who kept bragging about how his
lovemaking was goin to blow my mind
Well after the lovemaking I said:
I don't mean to embarrass you but listen...
Your love is like tryin to light a fire with a wet
match
you won't even get a spark like that
Your love is like tryin to light a fire with a wet
match
you won't even get a spark like that
You said you could always
get a woman excited
every time she mentioned your name
Said they call you good lovin
good lovin daddy, uh uh
ooh-ooh you sexy thing
I needed a lil lovin
couldn't wait to get you in the sack
I was so disappointed
I don't want you to ever come back
Hey!
Your love is like tryin to light a fire with a wet
match
you won't even get a spark like that
Your love is like tryin to light a fire with a wet
match
you won't even get a spark like that
You know the man was so embarrassed
that he didn't even show his face around here for a
long time
hehe
Do you blame him?
Ladies beware, of those fast talkin men
They just ain't ready when you wanna have a lil fun.
Braggin bout how you'll sweep me off my feet
Couldn't even make me put a wrinkle in my sheets
Your love is like tryin to light a fire with a wet
match
you won't even get a spark like that
Your love is like tryin to light a fire with a wet
match
you won't even get a spark like that

Tough Mary, Tough Mary... (Yeah, that’s me...)
Tough Mary is tough
The boys would come from miles around, with presents
every day;
But when they’d call on Mary, this is what she’d say:
Don’t bring me poses, when it’s shoes I need;
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary...)
Don’t bring me flowers; don’t bring me the sea...
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary is tough)
Just bring me diamonds, that’ll suit me fine;
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary...)
And I’ll love you forever, and you’ll be mine...
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary is tough!)
Well, Mary, she's a very pretty girl; I guess she was
born that way;
But whenever they would tell her that, this is what
she’d say:
Don’t bring me poses, when it’s shoes I need;
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary...)
Don’t bring me flowers; don’t bring me the sea...
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary is tough)
Come on and bring me some diamonds, that’ll suit me
fine;
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary...)
And I’ll love you forever, and you’ll be mine...
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary is tough!)
Tough Mary...
Tough Mary...
Tough Mary...
Don’t bring me poses, when it’s shoes I need;
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary...)
Don’t bring me flowers; don’t bring me the sea...
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary is tough)
Come on and bring me some diamonds, that’ll suit me
fine;
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary...)
And I’ll love you forever, and you’ll be mine...
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary is tough!)
Oh, I’m tough;
(Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary, Tough Mary...)

Time after time
I tell myself that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
So lucky to be
The one you run to see
In the evening, when the day is through
I only know what I know
The passing years will show
You've kept my love so young, so new
And time after time
You'll hear me say that I'm

Little girls, little boys
Dream of words, lots of toys
This time of the year
When Christmas is near
Evergreens are snowy white
Sleigh bells ring through the night
This time of the year
When Christmas is near
Somewhere near a steeple
People kneel and pray
And choirs sing carols of Christmas day
Santa Claus, oh, is on his way
Loads of joy in on his sleigh
This time of the year
Yeah, when Christmas is near
Somewhere near a steeple
People, they kneel and pray
Oh, when choirs sing
Oh, they sing carols of Christmas day
Oh, and Santa Claus, oh, is on his way
Loads of joy on his sleigh, yeah
This time of the year
Oh, when Christmas is near
Oh oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, this time of the year
And oh, when Christmas is near

A cigarette that bares a lipstick's traces
An airline ticket to romantic places
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you.
A tinkling piano in the next apartment
Those stumblin'words That told you what my heart meant
A fairground's painted swings
These foolish things
remind me of you.
You came,
You saw,
You conquered me
When you did that to me
I knew somehow this had to be
The winds of March That made my heart a dancer
A telephone that rings But who's to answer
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
First daffodils
And long excited cables
And candle lights
on little corner tables
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you
The park at evening
When the bell has sounded
The Isle de France
With all the gulls around it
The beauty that is spring
These foolish things
Remind me of you
How strange,
How sweet,
To find you still,
These things are dear to me
They seem to bring you near to me
The sigh of midnight trains
At empty stations
Silk stockings thrown aside
Dance invitations
Oh how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
Gardenia perfume
Lingering on a pillow
Wild strawberries
Only seven francs a kilo
And still my heart has wings,
These foolish things,
Remind me of you
The smile of Garbo
And the scent of roses
The waiters whistling
As the last bar closes
The song that Crosby sings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
How strange
How sweet
To find you still
These things are dear to me
They seem to bring you near to me
The scent of smoldering leaves
The wail of steamers
Two lovers on the street
Who walk like dreamers
Oh how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things

(Hey Baby, What do I have to do,)
(To make you love me too,)
You've got to roll with me Henry;
(Alright baby)
Roll with me Henry;
(Don't mean maybe)
Roll with me Henry;
(Any ole time)
Roll with me Henry;
(Don't change my mind)
Roll with me Henry;

Roll on, roll on, roll on;
While the cats are ballin,
You better stop your stallin,
It's intermission in a minute,
So you better get with it,
Roll with me Henry,
You better roll it while the rollin' is on
Roll on, roll on, roll on,
Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh wee,

You better feel that boogie beat,
And get the lead out of your feet,
Roll with me Henry,
You better roll it while the rollin' is on,

(Mmm-hmm mm-hmm)
Roll with me Henry,
(All right mama)
You better roll it while the rollin' is on,

The very thought of you and I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish though it may seem
To me that's everything
The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near
to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love
The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near
to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you

Did you say that I've got a lot to learn
Well don't think I'm trying not to learn
Since this is the perfect spot to learn
Teach me tonight
Starting with the ABC of it
Getting right down to the XYZ of it
Help me solve the mystery of it
Teach me tonight
The sky's a blackboard high above you
And if a shooting star goes by
I'll use that star to write "I love you"
A thousand times across the sky
One thing isn't very clear my love
Teachers shouldn't stand so near my love
Graduation's almost here my love
You'd better teach me tonight
I've played loves scenes in a flick or two
And I've also met a chick or two
But I still can learn a trick or two
Hey teach me tonight
I who thought I knew the score of it
Kind of think I should know much more of it
Off the wall, the bed, the floor of it
Hey teach me tonight
The midnight hours come slowly creeping
When there's no one there but you
There must be more to life than sleeping
Single in a bed for two
What I need most is post graduate
What I feel is hard to articulate
If you want me to matriculate
You'd better teach me tonight
What do you get for lessons

He beat on me He cheat on me
He's mean to me ooo but he could be so sweet to me
My friends say I should give him up
But ohhhh I need him I need him a lot
That's why I'm gonna take it (take it take it) take what he's got
He disowns me He's going to sleep
But when we're alone he tells me "I'm his very own"
Yes, he's got what I need but ohh I need what he's got
That's why I'm gonna take it (take it take it) take what he's got
Ohhh my friends say he's no good
He's not worth the time of day
For he could be an ice man, trash man, a junk man any kind of man
But nothing can drive me away ohhhh
He cause me pain, you make me wait sometimes out in the rain
You can make me feel ashamed but I never dress the same
And I love him so much nothing can make me stop
That's why I'm gonna take it (take it take it) take what he's got x2
Oooohhhh give it up give it up right now I'm gonna take it baby

I don't know why I love you like I do
After all the changes you put me through
Stole my money, my cigarettes
I haven't seen the worst of it yet
I wanna know boy, won't you tell me
Tell me how can I stay here with you
Chorus:
Won't you take me to the river
Wash me down
Take me to the river
Put my feet back on the ground
I don't know why you treat me so bad
After all the good times that we've had
You're sixteen candles that burn on my wall
Now who's the biggest fool of us all
I wanna know, won't you tell me
Tell me how can I stay here with you
Chorus
Hold me squeeze me love me
And you can tease me
Till I can't take it no more
Oh yeah yeah yeah
I don't know why I love you like I do
After all the changes you put me through
Love is a notion I can't forget
My sweet sixteen I would never regret
I wanna know, won't you tell me
Tell me how can I stay here with you

Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
I looked over Jordan and what did I see
Coming for to carry me home
A band of angels coming after me
Coming for to carry me home
(chorus)
Sometimes I'm up and sometimes I'm down
Coming for to carry me home
But still my soul feels heavenly bound
Coming for to carry me home
(chorus)
The brightest day that I can say
Coming for to carry me home
When Jesus washed my sins away,
Coming for to carry me home.
(chorus)
If I get there before you do
Coming for to carry me home
I'll cut a hole and pull you through
Coming for to carry me home
(chorus)
If you get there before I do
Coming for to carry me home
Tell all my friends I'm coming too
Coming for to carry me home

I want a Sunday kind of love
A love to last past Saturday night
And I'd like to know that it's more than love at first
sight
And I want a Sunday kind of love
Oh, yeah yeah
I want a a love that's on the square
Can't seem to find somebody
Someone to care
And I'm all alone on a road that leads to no where
I need a Sunday kind of love
I do my Sunday dreaming, oh, yeah
And I do my Sunday scheming
Every minute, every hour, every day
Oh, I'm hoping to discover
A certain kind of lover
Who will show me the way
And my arms need someone
Someone to enfold
To keep me warm when Mondays and Tuesdays grow cold
Love for all my life to have and to hold
Oh, and I want a Sunday kind of love
Oh, yeah yeah yeah
I don't want a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday or
Thursday, Friday or Saturday
Oh, nothing but Sunday
I want a Sunday Sunday
I want a Sunday kind of love
Oh, yeah
Sunday, Sunday, Sunday

You're a stranger to me
Still you give me your life
I toss it to one side
Still you're sweeter to me
When will I be sure
It's warm where you are
But my lips just don't burn
I feel so insecure
When you try to be kind
Could I, could I ask for more?
Feel like sugar on the floor
Sugar on the floor
Sugar on the floor
Looking at you now I know you only want to find me
Still I need a reason to leave the past behind me
There is no easy way
There is no easy way
To learn how to fly
I hope that I could care
When I turn around you're there
Should I, should I ask for more?
I feel like sugar on the floor
I feel like sugar on the floor
Sugar on the floor
Oh, oh, ooh
Ooh, It's warm where you are
But ooh I wish we could be closer
'Cause I'm living in a dream
And I can't show you
Still you're sweeter to me
When would I, when would I be sure?
I feel like I'm sugar on the floor
Feel like sugar on the floor
All I need,
all I need is somebody to love
All I need,
all I need is somebody to care about me
So I won't be wasted
Oh, wasted on the floor
Oh I, oh I

I will do whatever you say
It's got to be, it's got to be that way, yes it does
Because it's true, oh, oh yeah, it's true
That I'm strung out, strung out on you, on you
Alright, if you say one, just tell me, boy
I'm gonna start walkin' and if you say talk
Tell me I'm gonna open my mouth and start talkin', boy
I'm strung out, well, oh yeah, I'm strung out on you
Oh ha, on you, baby, on you, on you
You, you, you, you, you
Yeah, now listen, I was in such a romance, hey, hey
And I stopped off in Paris, France, yes I did
It was a whole lot of people knew me, oh yeah
But don't you know, don't you know that wouldn't do me, no, no, no, no
And I stopped off in Spain, everything, everything remains the same
I just needed you, needed you, you, you, talkin' about you
I just needed you, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
If you say, walk, darlin', I'll put on my best shoes and start walkin'
Hey, and I dare you to tell me to talk, all day and all night
I'm gonna be talkin', 'cause I'm strung out and well
I'm strung out on you, I'm strung out, strung out, baby, on you
Strung out on you, you, you, you, oh yeah, yeah
My goodness, I got a Jones, baby
Well, well, well, now listen now, now
Oh bay, oh yeah, well, well, now listen
I went to the family doctor, yes I did
And he used everything he had, yes he did
And he said, "Etta, your case is so sad, it's so sad"
You, you, I need you, I need you, you, you, you
Oh baby, I need you, I need you like the bees need the flowers
And like the trees need the sunshine
And I need only the one that I'm strung out, strung out on you

I smoked my last cigarette
Threw that nasty habit away
Laid down my last dollar on my last bet
Didn't ever win anyway
Gave up the wine and whiskey
'Cause everybody said I should
But I'm givin' up on quittin' you, baby
'Cause it feels so damn good
You are my strongest weakness
Can't get enough, can't give you up
You are my deepest secret
I know it's wrong but I can't go on
And I try, try, try
I ask myself why, why, why?
My strongest weakness
You been runnin' around for a long time now
I know all the games you play
Sooner or later you will put me down
Gonna have to face it someday
But baby, every time you hold me
And I get another taste of your kiss
I feel a power comin' over me
That my body just can't miss
You are my strongest weakness
Can't get enough, can't give you up
You are my deepest secret
I know it's wrong but I can't go on
I try, try, try,
I ask myself why, why, why?
My strongest weakness
Why can't you just say no?
(Strongest weakness)
I said why can't I let you go?
(Strongest weakness)
Why, why do I keep, keep breakin' down?
(Strongest weakness)
I said why can't I turn around?
(Strongest weakness)
You know I try, try, try
I ask myself why, why, why?
I give in to you, baby
You are my strongest weakness
(Strongest weakness)
Can't get enough, can't give you up
(Deepest secret)
Deepest secret
(Strongest weakness)
Strongest weakness
(Deepest secret)
You are, you are

Strange things are happenin' everyday
Everyday, everyday

Till I see teardrops in your eyes
Strange things are happenin' everyday
Yes, everyday, everyday
(Everyday, everyday)
There's strange things happenin' everyday

Till I see teardrops in your eyes

And I'm feelin' through you
Strange things are happenin' everyday
Everyday, everyday

You need a job, so you can make some money
You need a nice warm place to stay
A sense of humor 'cause life ain't funny
A big stick keeps the wolves away
You need a car with good tyres on it
The right place to eat barbecue
A heavy duty set of jumper cables
No holes in your walkin' shoes
The main thing you're gonna find, you need
A fertile place to plant your seed
Gotta find somebody to love you
Someone to be there for you night and day
Somebody to share with, be a part of you
Love ain't no good till you give it away
You got to give it away
I got to recommend some Life Insurance
Be prepared to dial 911
Pay close attention to your high blood pressure
Stay away from the man with the gun
You need a reason to get up in the mornin'
Make sure the clock got snooze control
Be sure you got a place to run for cover
'Cause overnight things can get real cold
You're gonna find that sooner or later
You need a common denominator
You gotta find somebody to love
Someone to be there night and day
Someone to share with, be a part of you
Love ain't no good till you give it away
Oh, give it away
The main thing you're gonna go, what you need
A fertile place where the plant you seed
You got to find somebody to love
Someone to be there for you night and day
Someone to share with, be a part of you
Love ain't no good till you give it away
You gotta find somebody to love
Be there for you night and day
Someone to share, be a part of you
Love ain't no good till you give it away
Gotta find somebody, you gotta find somebody
Love ain't no good till you give it away
Love ain't no good till you give it away
Love ain't no good till you give it away
You gotta find somebody to love
Someone to be there for you night and day
Someone to share with, be a part of you
Love ain't no good till you give it away
Love ain't no good till you give it away
Love ain't no good till you give it away

You made me leave my happy home
You took my love and now you're gone
Since I fell for you
Love brings such misery and pain
I guess I'll never be the same
Since I fell for you
It's too bad, it's so sad, I'm in love with you
You love me, then you snub me
But what can I do, I'm still in love with you
I guess I'll never see the light
I get the blues 'bout every night

And on a Monday, I'm gonna love ya
And on a Tuesday, I'm gonna hug ya
And on a Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday, Saturday, Sunday, gonna love ya

to get back on my feet
I can't run
I can't hide
and it's tearing me up
inside

I had love
but it turned out wrong
I had faith
and when that was gone
well at least,
at least I had hope
when you left me hanging
at the end of my road
I can't sleep
I can't give
I don't seem to be able
to get back on my feet
I can't run
I can't hide
and it's tearing me up
inside
oh mercy baby

If you disrespect anybody
That you run into
How in the world do you think
Anybody's s'pose to respect you?
If you don't give a heck about the man
With the bible in his hand
Just get out the way
And let the gentleman do his thing
Now you're the kind of gentleman
That want everything your way
Take the sheet off your face, boy
It's a brand new day
Respect yourself
Respect yourself
But if you don't respect yourself
Ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot
Respect yourself
Come on, respect yourself
If you're walkin' 'round thinking
That the world owes you something 'cause you're here
Well, you goin' out the world backwards
Like you did when you first come here
Keep talkin' 'bout the president
It won't stop air pollution
Put your hand o'er your mouth
When you cough that'll help the solution, yes it will
You curse around women
And you don't even know their names
Then you're dumb enough to think
It'll make you a big ol' man
Respect yourself
Respect yourself
If you don't respect yourself
Ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot
Respect yourself
Come on, respect yourself
If you don't respect yourself

So you told all the boys that you were gonna take me out
Ya even ya even had the nerve to make a bet, a yes you did
That I, I would give in all of my love, you would win
But you haven't, you haven't won it yet
You took me for a pushover
Oh you thought I was a pushover
Oh I'm not a pushover
You thought my love was easy to get
All of the girls think you're fine
They even call you Romeo
You got 'em, yeah you got 'em runnin' to and fro
Yes you have
But I don't want a one night thrill
I want a love that's for real
And I can tell by your line
Your's is not the lasting kind
You took me for a pushover
Oh you thought I was a pushover
Oh I'm not a pushover
You thought that you could change my mind
Your temptin' lips your wavy hair, oh yeah
Your pretty eyes with that come hither stare
It makes me weak and I, I start to bend
And then I stop and think again
No no, no no, no don't let yourself go
I hate to spoil your reputation
I want true love not an imitation
And I'm hip to every word in your conversation
You took me for a pushover
Whoa I'm not a pushover
Whoa you thought I was a pushover
Whoa you can't push me over
Nobody is gonna push me over
Oh you're not man enough to push me over
Everybody thought you was gonna push me over

I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted one time to see you laughing
I only want to see you laughing in the purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only want to see you bathing in the purple rain
I never wanted to be your weekend lover
I only wanted to be some kind of friend
Baby, I could never steal you from another, oh no
Such a shame our friendship had to end
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only want to see you underneath the purple rain
Honey, I know, I know times are wasted
It's time we all reach out for something new and that
means you too
You say you want a leader but you can't seem to make up
your mind
I think you better close it, well, let me guide you to
the purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain

Along from night to night
You'll find me
To weak to break the chains
That bind me
I need no shackles
To remind me
That I'm just a prisoner of Love
For one command
I stand and wait now
From one who's master
Of my fate now
I can't escape
For it's too late now
That I'm just a prisoner of love
What's so good of my caring
When someone is sharing
These arm's, with me
Although he has another
I can't have another
For I'm...,I'm not free
He's in my dreams
awake or sleeping, ummm
Up on my knees
To him I'm creeping, oh yeah,yeah...
My very soul is in his keeping

Out Of The Rain, Under The Shelter
I've Been So Long Where The Sun Don't Shine
Standing At The Cross-Roads, Could Have Went either Way
But Now I've Found You And The Storm Is Behind
Out Of The Rain, Out Of The Rain
Over The Wall, I'm Out In The Open
Back On The Right Track, I'm Feeling No Pain
You Took A Sparrow And Let It Fly With The Eagles
I Can See A Long Ways, I Feel Love Again
Out Of The Rain, Out Of The Rain
There Was A Time I Was Taking No Prisoners
Standing With A Cold Heart, Standing Alone
It Took Your Sweet Love To Pull Me Out Of The Canyon
I Believe I Can Make It Now, I Feel Like I Belong
Out Of The Rain, Out Of The Rain Out Of The Rain, Out Of

It's quarter to three, there's no one in the place
Except you and me
So set 'em' up Joe, I got a little story
I think you should know
We're drinking my friend, to the end
Of a brief episode
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
I know the routine, put another nickel
In the machine
I feel kind of bad, can't you make the music
Easy and sad
I could tell you a lot, but it's not
In a gentleman's code
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
You'd never know it, but buddy I'm a kind of poet
And I've got a lot of things I'd like to say
And if I'm gloomy, please listen to me
Till it's talked away
Well that's how it goes, and Joe I know your gettin'
Anxious to close
Thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn't mind
My bending your ear
But this torch that I found, It's gotta be drowned
Or it's gonna explode
Make it one for my baby

Love letters straight from your heart
Keep us so near while apart

And darling, then I read again right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart
I memorize every line
And I kiss the name that you sign

If you could see me now.
The one who said that she’d rather roam
The one that said she’d rather be alone
If you could only see me now
If I could hold you now
Just for a moment I could really make you mine
Just for awhile turn back the hands of time
If I could only hold you now
I’ve been too long in the wind too long in the rain
Take any comfort that I can
Looking back and hoping for a freedom from my chains
And Lie in your loving arms again
If you could hear me now
Singing somewhere through the lonely night
Dreaming of the arms that held me tight
If you could only hear me now
I’ve been too long in the wind too long in the rain
Take any comfort that I can
Looking back and hoping for a freedom of my chains
And Lie in your loving arms again
I can almost feel your loving arms again

I don't know why but I'm feeling so sad
I'd long to try something I'd never had
Never had no kissing, ooh, what I've been missing
Lover man, oh, where can you be?
The night is cold and I'm so all alone
I'd give my soul just to call you my own
Got a moon above me but no one's here to love me
Lover man, oh, where can you be?
I've heard it said that the thrill of romance
Can be like a heavenly dream
And I'll go to bed with a prayer
That you'll make love, love to me strange as it seems
Someday we'll meet and you'll dry all my tears
And whisper sweet, little things in my ear
Hugging and a-kissing, oh, what I've been missing baby
Lover man, oh, where can you be?
I've heard it said that the thrill of romance
Could be like a heavenly dream
And I'll go to bed with the prayer
That you'll make love, love to me strange as it seems
Someday we'll meet and you'll dry all my tears
Then whisper sweet little things in my ear
Hugging and a-kissing, oh, what I've been missing
Lover man, oh, where can you be?

I don’t want you to be no slave;
I don’t want you to work all day;
But I want you to be true,
And I just wanna make love to you.
…Love to you…
…Love to you…Ooooohhooh…
…Love to you…
All I want to do is wash your clothes;
I don’t want to keep you indoors.
There is nothing for you to do
But keep me makin’ love to you.
…Love to you…
…Love to you…Ooooohhooh…
…Love to you…
And I can tell by the way you walk that walk;
I can hear by the way you talk that talk;
I can know by the way you treat your girl
That I can give you all the lovin’ in the whole wide
world!
All I want you to do is make your bread!
Just to make sure you’re well-fed!
I don’t want you sad and blue!
And I just wanna make love to you.
…Love to you…
…Love to you…Ooooohhooh…
…Love to you…Ooooh.
And I can tell by the way you walk that walk;
And I can hear by the way you talk that talk;

…Yeah, love to you…Ooooh.

Just friends, lovers no more
Just friends but not like before
To think of what we've been
Not to love again seems like pretending
This isn't the ending
True friends, drifting apart
Two friends, but one broken heart
We loved, we laughed, we cried
Then suddenly love died
The story ends and we're just friends
To think of all we've been
Not to love again seems like pretending
This can't be the ending
True friends, drifting apart
Two friends, but one broken heart
We loved, we laughed, we cried
Then suddenly love died

He’s got eyes that burn
Straight to my soul.
Supernatural touch,
That makes my blood boil.
He’s a four-alarm lover,
Sent from I don’t know.
Furnace door open,
Thunder crashes.
My fever rises,
Lightning flashes.
He comes in the night.
He’s gone, in a cloud of smoke.
I said, jump into my fire.
Walk right into the flame.
I've got some red hot lovin'
Cookin' in my oven.
If you can stand
The heat in this place.
I told him, jump into my fire.
Run right into the flames.
Just keep your hands to yourself.
Don’t be sweet-talkin’ no one else.
After lovin’ me,
Your heart will never be the same.
[Solo]
He said, woman, if you want my love.
You have to show, what you’re made of.
Don’t come on to me,
If you can't pay the price all night.
Hold on honey, wait a minute.
Don’t be so rough, now wait.
See I’m woman enough,
To handle your stuff,
Any hour, night or day.
I said, jump into my fire.
Walk right into the flame.
I've got some red hot lovin'
Cookin' in my oven.
If you can stand
The heat in this place.
I told him, jump into my fire.
Run right into the flames.
Just keep your hands to yourself.
Don’t be sweet-talkin’ no one else.
After lovin’ me,
Your heart will never be the same.
[Solo]
I said, jump into my fire.
Walk right into the flame.
I've got some red hot lovin'
Cookin' in my oven.
If you can stand
The heat in this place.
I told him, jump into my fire.
Run right into the flames.
Just keep your hands to yourself.
Don’t be sweet-talkin’ no one else.
After lovin’ me,
Your heart will never be the same.

Does he love me?
It's too soon to know
Can I believe him
When he tells me so?
And is he fooling?
Is this all a game?
Am I the fire or
Just another flame?
A one sided love
Would break my heart
He may be just acting
And playing a part
If he don't love me
Let him tell me so
And I, I can't hold him
If he wants to go
And though, though
I'll cry when he's gone
And I won't die and I'll live on
If it's so, it's too soon
Way too soon to know
Does he love me?
Can I believe him?
And though, I'll cry
Though, I'll cry when he's gone
And I won't die and I'll live on
If it's so, it's too soon

In my solitude
You haunt me
With dreadful ease
Of days gone by
In my solitude
You taunt me
With memories
That never die
I sit in my chair
And filled with despair
There's no one could be so sad
With gloom everywhere
I sit and I stare
I know that I'll soon go mad
In my solitude
I'm afraid
Dear Lord above
Send back my love
I sit in my chair
And filled with despair
There's no one could be so sad
With gloom everywhere
I sit and I stare
I know that I'll soon go mad
In my solitude
I'm afraid
Dear Lord above

Imagination is funny
It makes a cloudy day sunny
It makes a bee think of honey
Just as I think of you
Imagination is crazy
Your whole perspective gets hazy
Starts you asking a daisy
What to do, what to do
Have you ever felt a gentle touch
And then a kiss, and then and then
Find its only your imagination again
Imagination is silly
You go around willy nilly
For example I go around wanting you

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
And so I come to you, my love, my heart above my head
Though I see the danger there
If there's a chance for me, then I don't care
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Fools rush in where wise men never go
But wise men never fall in love, so how are they to know?
When we met, I felt my life begin
So open up your heart and let this fool rush in
Fools rush in where wise men never, never, never go
Eh, but wise men never fall in love, so how are they to know?
Ah, when we met, girl, I felt my life begin
So open up your heart and let this fool rush in
Just open up your heart and let this fool rush on in
Just open up your heart because I, I, I, I, I, I, I am coming in

I'M SICK AND TIRED
OF YOU SNEAKING AROUND
IN A MOVE
COULD GO CROSS TOWN
DRINKING IN THE CLOSET
IN LINE ALL THE TIME
SPENDING THE MONEY
DON'T CARE ABOUT THE BILLS
LIKE A TRUCKSTOP WAITRESS
WITH A HAND IN THE TILL
IF YOU DON`T KNOW NOW
YOU NEVER WILL
NOW YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING
JUST AIN'T RIGHT
OH WHAT'S DONE IN THE DARK
WILL COME TO THE LIGHT
WAS THAT LOOK ON YOUR FACE
YOU GOT SOMETHING TO HIDE
THINK I DONT KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE FEELING INSIDE
WALKING THE FLOOR
WAITING ON THAT PHONE TO RING
AND WHENEVER I ANSWER
THERES NOBODY THERE
I TRY TO ACT LIKE I
REALLY DON'T CARE
BUT THERE'S MORE TO BE SPEND
THAN MISTY EYES
NOW YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING
IT JUST AIN'T RIGHT
OH WHAT'S DONE IN THE DARK
WILL COME TO THE LIGHT
WHAT GOES AROUND
COMES AROUND
YOU REAP JUST WHAT YOU SOW
OH THAT'S SOMETHING
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE ALREADY
WE ALREADY KNOW
YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW
OH THAT'S SOMETHING
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE ALREADY
WE ALREADY KNOW
NOW YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING
JUST AINT RIGHT
NOW WHATS DONE IN THE DARK

YOUR HAND IS LIKE A TORCH
EACH TIME YOU TOUCH ME, THE LOOK IN YOUR EYES PULLS ME
APART
OH YES IT DOES
PLEASE DON'T OPEN THE DOOR TO HEAVEN IF I CAN'T,
IF I CAN'T COME IN
DON'T TOUCH ME IF YOU DON'T LOVE ME SWEETHEART
DON'T GIVE ME SOMETHING YOU THAT YOU MIGHT SOON TAKE
AWAY, HEY BABY
TO HAVE YOU THEN LOSE YOU, THAT WOULDN'T BE SMART ON MY
PART
BABY, BABY DON'T OPEN THE DOOR TO HEAVEN IF YOU WON'T LET
ME COME IN
DON'T TOUCH ME IF YOU DON'T LOVE ME SWEETHEART
BABY, BABY DON'T OPEN THE DOOR TO HEAVEN
IF YOU WON'T LET ME COME IN
DON'T TOUCH ME IF YOU DON'T LOVE ME SWEETHEART
OH DON'T TOUCH ME IF YOU DON'T LOVE ME

Someone told someone
And someone told you
I hope you don't believe
What they say
Do nothin' till you hear from me
Pay no attention to what's said
Why people tear the seam from anyone's dream?
And it's over my head
Do nothin' till you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you take the word from others you heard
I haven't a chance
But I've been seen with someone new
What does it mean? And I'm untrue?
When we're apart, the words in my heart
Reveal how I feel, I feel about you
Some kiss may cloud my memory
And other arms may hold a thrill
But please, please do nothin', do nothin', babe
Oh, don't do a thing till you hear, hear from me
You never will
And it's true, babe, I've been seen with someone new
But what does it mean, I'm untrue?
When we're apart, the words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you
Some kiss may cloud my memory
And other arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothin'
Do nothin' till you hear from me
Oh baby, and you never will
Some kiss may cloud my memory
But please, please do nothin'
Please do nothin' till you hear from me
Do nothin', baby, no

(Hey Baby, What do I have to do,)
(To make you love me too,)
You've got to roll with me Henry;
(Alright baby)
Roll with me Henry;
(Don't mean maybe)
Roll with me Henry;
(Any ole time)
Roll with me Henry;
(Don't change my mind)
Roll with me Henry;
You better roll it while the rollin' is on
Roll on, roll on, roll on;
While the cats are ballin,
You better stop your stallin,
It's intermission in a minute,
So you better get with it,
Roll with me Henry,
You better roll it while the rollin' is on
Roll on, roll on, roll on,
Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh wee,

You better feel that boogie beat,
And get the lead out of your feet,
Roll with me Henry,
Roll with me Henry,
Roll with me Henry,
Roll with me Henry,
Roll with me Henry,
You better roll it while the rollin' is on, ...
Well I ain't teasin'
(Talk to me baby)
You better stop your freezin'
(All right, mama)
If you want romancin'
(Okay sugar)
You better learn some dancin'
(Mmm-hmm mm-hmm)
Roll with me Henry,
(All right mama)
You better roll it while the rollin' is on,

I can do what I want
I'm in complete control
That's what I tell myself
I gotta a mind of my own
I'll be alright alone
Don't need anybody else
I gave myself a good talking to
No more bein' a fool for you
But I see you and all I remember
And how you make me wanna surrender
Damn your eyes
For taking my breath away
Makin' me want to stay
Damn your eyes
For gettin' my hopes up high
Makin' me fall in love again
Damn your eyes
It's always the same
You say that you'll change
Somehow you never do
I believe all your lies
The look in your eyes
You make it all seem true
I guess I see what I wanna see
Or is it my heart just deceivin' me?
Because with that look I know so well
I fall completely under your spell
Damn your eyes
For takin' my breath away
For makin' me wanna stay
Damn your eyes
For gettin' my hopes up high
For makin' me fall in love again
Damn your eyes
You keep deliberately deceivin' me
Makin' me see what I want to see
Damn your eyes
For takin' my breath away, hey
For makin' me wanna stay
Damn your eyes
For gettin' my hopes up high
For makin' me fall in love again
Damn your eyes
Damn your eyes
For takin' my breath away
Damn, damn your eyes
For gettin' my hopes up high
For makin' me fall in love
Fall in love again

Now you say you love me
But you cry the whole night through
You can cry me a river
oh yes you're goin' to cry me a river
'cause I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry for being so untrue
You may cry a river
You may cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Yes I did child, yes I did my child
You drove me nearly out of my head
You stood by and never shed a tear
But I remember every word that was said
Oh yes, I remember - never fear
You may cry me a river - c'mon now
Cry me a river
You may cry me a river
I cried a river for you (Oh how I cried)
You nearly drove me out of my own sweethead
You stood by - you never shed a tear for me.
I remember every crual word - everything that was said
Yes I remember - never you fear
You may cry me a river
I cried a river for you
Yes I cried a river for you
Turn back the tide of life, I cried - salty water
runnin' down
I cried I love you
I cried I love you
I cried, I cried
You may cry, oh, she may cry now, a river of tears
A river of tears for you
You may cry now, she may cry, oh, she may cry now
You may cry, oh, she may cry now a river of tears
A river of tears for you
I cry you can cry me a river
Lord loves a cheerful giver
C'mon and cry me a river of tears
C'mon now and cry me a river of tears
C'mon now and cry me a river of tears

HOW MANY TEARS NOW DARLING
MUST A GIRL LET FALL
HOW MANY YEARS WILL IT TAKE
TO FORGIVE ME FOR IT ALL
YOU SEE WHEN I TOOK YOU FOR GRANTED
I KNEW NOT JUST WHAT I'D DONE
I WAS A FOOL NOT TO SEE
THAT YOU WERE THE PERFECT ONE
I MADE SOME WRONG MOVES
I WON'T DENY
WENT LOOKIN'FOR LOVE WHEN IT WAS
RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES
SO NOW DON'T GO AND TELL ME
THAT YOU FOUND SOMEBODY NEW
I TELL YOU THAT'S GONNA HURT ME
MORE THAN I COULD EVER HURT YOU
I'M GONNA CRY
CRY LIKE A RAINY DAY
IT'S JUST THAT I
DON'T WANT TO SEE
A GOOD THING SLIP AWAY
LATE AT NIGHT THAT'S WHEN I
I HOPE AND PRAY
THESE LONELY TEARS
WILL WASH THE PAIN AWAY
AND I'M GONNA CRY CRY CRY
LIKE A RAINY DAY
CRY LIKE A RAINY DAY
I'M GONNA GET IT TOGETHER
GONNA TRY TO MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND
WROTE ALL DOWN IN A LETTER
FROM ONE WOMAN TO A MAN
REMEMBER THESE ARMS
HOW THEY HELD YOU THEN
MARK MY WORDS
IT'S GONNA BE THAT WAY AGAIN
GIVE ME ONE MORE CHANCE
I SWEAR TO GOD I'LL BE TRUE
DON'T WALK AWAY
NOW I'LL NEVER NEVER MAKE IT WITHOUT YOU
I'M GONNA CRY
LIKE A RAINY DAY
IT'S JUST THAT I DON'T WANT TO SEE
A GOOD THING SLIP AWAY
LATE AT NIGHT THAT'S WHEN I, I HOPE AND PRAY
THESE LONELY TEARS WILL WASH THE PAIN AWAY
I'M GONNA CRY CRY CRY LIKE A RAINY DAY
I´M GONNA CRY CRY LIKE A RAINY DAY

I'm gonna love you, like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain, deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don't you ever bet me
'cause I'm gonna be true if you let me
You're gonna love me, like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
We'll be happy together, unhappy together
Now won't that be just fine
The days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or out of the money
But I'm with you always

S-sitting down by my window,
Oh, looking at the rain.
S-sitting down by my window now now,
All around I felt it,
All I could see was the rain.
Something grabbed a hold of me, honey,
Felt to me honey like, Lord, a ball and chain.
Yeah! Hey! You know what I mean,
But it's way too heavy for you,
You can't hold it tomorrow.
Say, whoa, whoa, honey, it can't be
Just because I got to want your love
Please please please please, whoa please, please.
Whoa, honey it can't be
Just because I got to need you daddy.
Please don't you let me down, no, please, Lord!
Here you gone today, but I wanted to love you,
I wanted to hold you, yeah, till the day I die,
Till the day, till the day,
Yeah! Hey! Hey! All right!
Say, whoa, whoa, honey this can't be
Not anything I ever wanted from you daddy
Tell me now, now, now, now, oh, tell me now, yeah.
I say, whoa, whoa, honey this can't be
No, no, no, no, no, no, no ... yeah yeah, hey!
And I want someone that could tell me, tell me why
Just because I got to want your love
Honey, just because I got to need, need, need your love
I said I don't understand, honey, but I wanna chance to
Try, try, try, try try try try
Honey when everybody in the world wants the same damn
thing
When everybody in the world will need the same lonely
thing
When I wanna work for your love, daddy.
When I wanna try for your love, daddy.
I don't understand how come you're gone, man. I don't
understand why half the world is still crying, man,
when the other half of the world is still crying too,
man, I can't get it together. I mean, if you got a cat
for one day, man — I mean, if you, say, say, if you
want a cat for 365 days, right — You ain't got him for
365 days, you got him for one day, man. Well I tell you
that one day, man, better be your life, man. Because,
you know, you can say, oh man, you can cry about the
other 364, man, but you're gonna lose that one day,
man, and that's all you've got. You gotta call that
love, man. That's what it is, man. If you got it today
you don't want it tomorrow, man, 'cause you don't need
it, 'cause as a matter of fact, as we discovered in the
train, tomorrow never happens, man. It's all the same
fucking day, man.
So you gotta, when you wanna hold a sigh,
You gotta hold him like it's the last minute in your
life, baby.
You gotta hold, whoa, whoa, hold him
'Cause someday some weight's gonna come on your
shoulders, babe,
It's gonna feel too heavy, it's gonna weigh on you,
It's gonna feel just like a ball, ball, ball, oh daddy,

At last
My love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
Oh yeah yeah, at last
The skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you
And I found a dream that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
Oh yeah yeah, and you smile, you smile
Oh, and then the spell was cast
And here we are in Heaven

Last night, all alone at a party
I met a man, oooooh, with a drink in his hand
he had soft brown eyes and coal black hair
And a smile a girl could understand
He came and set down at my table
And placed his warm hand, oooooooooh, on mine
I found myself wanting, longing, to kiss him, yes I did
For temptation was flowing like wine
Then we danced, we danced, he whispered
'Baby, I need you now'
'Let me take you away' oooooooooh 'I wanna be yo' man'
I looked in his eyes and I saw it, yes I saw it,
the reflection of my wedding band
I was almost, almost, almost persuaded
to lay my ol' consience right on the side
I was almost, almost, almost persuaded

Out on the street
The summer heat
Boys playing games
Changing their names
Pulling tricks
Getting their kicks
All the way down
Let it ride
Meetin the stars
In funky bars
Shiny new cars
And back door lies
Trying to hike
Or any other type of ride
All the way down
Let it ride
Trying everythank now
Gotta check it out
Trying everythang now
Gotta check it out
Hey girl!
You want a blow?
Why not?
I got nowhere to go.
Benny the Albino
Says don't be a whino
Try these here flakes
They got what it takes
To make you a star
All the way down
And change who you are
Let it ride
Tell me were you satisfied?
Did you mix it?
Did you like it?
Oooh! Tell me was it good to you.
I wanna know did you make enough money?
Did you make enough money to do down in style?
Or did you find yourself just dying, dying, dying
After a while?
Got to get off!
got to get off!
I got to go, got to, got to, got to get off!
Please help me, help me!
To git off now, now!
Before I freeze, and before I can come up off my knees
And lose my key to freedom.

I heard church bells ring
I heard a choir singing
I saw my love walk down the aisle
on her finger he placed a ring
Oooh oh
I saw them holding hands
She was standing there with my man
I heard them promise
Til death do us part
These words
Was a pain
In my heart
All i could do was cry
All i could do was cry
I was losing the man that i love
and all i could do was cry
And now the wedding is over
The rice, rice has been thrown over their heads
For them life has just begun
but mine is ending
All i could do was cry
All i could do was cry
I was losing the man that i love

Again
This couldn't happen again
This is that once in a lifetime
This is the thrill divine
What's more
This never happened before
Though I have prayed for a lifetime
That such as you would suddenly, suddenly be mine
Mine to hold as I'm holding you now
And never, never, never so near
Mine to have when the now
And the here disappear
What matters, what matters, dear, for when
This doesn't happen again
We'll have this moment forever
But never, never again
Mine to hold as I'm holding you now
And never, never, never so near
Mine to have when the now
And the here disappear and oh
What matters, what matters, what matters, dear, for when
This doesn't happen again
We'll have this moment forever
But never, never again, again

Drained of emotion
Tears run dry
I would give anything
Just to feel all right
Down on my knees
Praying for help
But sometimes you just gotta help yourself
CHORUS
I tried so hard to be someone you would love
Seems I would never try hard enough
Though I love you, got to give you up
I'm going back to who I was
And I do believe that change is gonna do me good
Let's take this moment to say goodbye
Look at each other right straight in the eye
Don't look back, baby, because I'll be gone
I've got my own life to carry on
CHORUS (2x)
I do believe
change, change is gonna do me good
