(George Weiss/Robert Thiele)
";This is a song
It's about our world
It's about our environment";
I see trees of green
Red roses too
I see them bloom
For me and you
And I say to myself
What a wonderful world
I said to myself
What a wonderful...
";You say it";
...world
";I love you";
(N. Rodgers/G. Smith)
What can one person do
More than a little bit
More than a little bit
Can I fight the battle
All by myself
Can I make a miracle happen
As long as I can think
And got my health
I'll never stop
I'm too strong for that
What can one person do
When it's one like you
When it's one like me
What can one person do
When it's one like you
When it's one like me
Everyone's gotta move
What they can move
The faithful can sometimes move mountains
When your faith is right
You will never lose your heart, your hope
Or your good friends
Don't be overcome by frustrations
Live up to your highest expectations
I'm tellin' you just for your information
Just for, just for your information
What can one person do
When it's one like you
When it's one like me
What can one person do
When it's one like you
When it's one like me
What can one person do
When it's one like you
When it's one like me
What can one person do
When it's one like you
When it's one like me
Looked into my soul and suspected
That I'm gonna take, gonna take on the unexpected
Walked into the fire unprotected
Walk into the fire
What can one person do
What can one person be
What can one person do
When it's one like you
When it's one like me
What can one person do
When it's one like you
When it's one like me
What can one person do
When it's one like you
When it's one like me
What can one person do
When it's one like you
When it's one like me
What can one person do
When it's one like you
When it's one like me
What can one person do
When it's one like you
When it's one like me
(N. Rodgers/G. Smith)
Stand up, stand tall, and be counted
Divided we fall, together we stand, together
Our love has all never doubt it
Alone we fall, together we stand, together
When we're playin' the game of life
What we pay is a heavy price
If you choose the wrong path
You will lose, that's so right
Be prepared, you might have to make some sacrifice
I can feel we can make it
I believe, when there's no longer seperation, we'll succeed
Here's a chance, better take it
Time won't wait for us, everyone come on
Stand up, stand tall, and be counted
Divided we fall, together we stand, together
Our love has all never doubt it
Alone we fall, together we stand, together
I'm afraid we will never learn
that's why I'm sayin' I'm so concerned
Turn around and look, this court is adjourned
Before we get beyond the point of no return
Leave us not be forsaken
Let me speak my peace
The pen is mightier than the sword, or so it seems
Here's a chance, better take it
Time won't wait for us, everyone come on
Stand up, stand tall, and be counted
Divided we fall, together we stand, together
Our love has all never doubt it
Alone we fall, together we stand, together
On the stage of a theatre
A production of all the feelings
That we're feeling all surrounding us
In the words of a playwright
One is not enough
To experience the act called love
Called trust-called love-called trust
(P. Glass/S. Ray/S. Birch)
You, heard somebody sayin'
That I loved another (ooh ooh ooh)
They don't know, it's not easy fakin'
Lies about your lover (ooh ooh ooh)
Nothing they could tell you
Would change the way it feels
But when they, try to come between us
We still have each other (ooh ooh ooh)
I've heard it all, and I have my faults
But I could never hurt you, I love you through it all
Take the bitter with the sweet
Two hearts are stronger together
Love can be forever
Take the bitter with the sweet
We can't let rumors affect us
We just, have to trust
I, want you more than ever
No matter what they told you (ooh ooh ooh)
If they pry, doesn't really matter
Long as I can hold you (ooh ooh ooh)
People can say what they want to say
But you know that I love you, it's better every day
Take the bitter with the sweet
Two hearts are stronger together
Love can be forever
Take the bitter with the sweet
We can't let rumors affect us
We just, have to trust
(N. Rodgers/C. Block)
Just say we can
Say we can
Say yes
We can
Just say we can
Say we can
Say yes
We can
I'm the type who takes love literally
If it's there I take it to the max
So if this is a propositioning
I recommend you understand the facts
Are you just posing
As a dream
The silly games
That people scheme
Just say we can
Say we can
Say yes
We can
Just say we can
Say we can
Say yes
We can
I like romance to spell tomorrow
Just want a thrilll I'll read a book, yeah
So if it's a good time you're after
I suggest you take another look
Oh the things
We put ourselves through
So we can find out
Who should be with you
Just say we can
Say we can
Say yes
We can
Just say we can
Say we can
Say yes
We can
Just say we can
Say we can
Say yes
We can
Just say we can
Say we can
Say yes
We can
Listen, in my time I've seen them all
Go and come
Come and go
Listen, passing through revolving doors
Could it be
What I'm really waiting for
Just say we can
Say we can
Say yes
We can
Just say we can
Say we can
Say yes
We can
Just say we can
Say we can
Say yes
We can
Just say we can
Say we can
Say yes
We can
(N. Rodgers/G. Smith)
Dancin', dancin'
Keep on dancing
So you don't have to fee the pain
Keep on, keep on, keep on dancing
So you don't have to feel the pain
Fate has dealt you a losing hand
Ever since the day that your life began
Wish you had some stronger ties
There's no one around to hear you cry
Move on up now, don't you see
Stop pretending you need a quick release
In the nighttime, in the rain
Like a moth drawn to the flame
Keep on dancing
So you don't have to fee the pain
Keep on, keep on, keep on dancing
So you don't have to feel the pain
Some people think they have everything
But they're living in emotional poverty
They use their fronts making deals oh, mighty sharp
There's no love and they're bankrupt in the heart
Sky above and earth below
You can't hide, there's no place you can go
From yourself you can't run
When truth hurts it's not much fun
Keep on dancing
So you don't have to fee the pain
Keep on, keep on, keep on dancing
So you don't have to feel the pain
Keep on dancing
So you don't have to fee the pain
Keep on, keep on, keep on dancing
So you don't have to feel the pain
Dancin', dancin', dancin'
Dancin'
Keep on
Keep on
Dancin'
Sky above and earth below
You can't hide, there's no place you can go
From yourself you can't run
When truth hurts it's not much fun
Keep on dancing
So you don't have to fee the pain
Keep on, keep on, keep on dancing
So you don't have to feel the pain
(Diana Ross/R. Chew)

I used to get along
Tried hard to be so strong
What was I doing?
Honey, I thought I had it made
Proud of my masquerade
Who was I fooling?
I thought I was so smart
Nobody touched my heart
I took my chances
But then you opened up my heart
You made me realize
I had no answers
You came along at just the right time
Speaking these words
That made me change my mind
One can fake it
Two can make it
We don't need no more
Love feels better made together
Babe, ain't this what we've been waiting for?
Honey, two hearts can make a pair
We got so much to share as we get older
I'll keep on thanking you
All of my whole life through
Over and over
You came along
At just the right time
Speaking these words
That made me change my mind
One can fake it
Two can make it
We don't need no more
Love feels better made together
Babe, ain't this what we've been waiting for?
Ain't this what we've been waiting for?
Baby
One can fake it
Two can make it
We don't need no more
Love feels better made together
Babe, ain't this what we've been waiting for?
One can fake it
Two can make it
We don't need no more
Love feels better made together
Babe, ain't this what we've been waiting for?
One can fake it
Two can make it
We don't need no more
Love feels better made together
Babe, ain't this what we've been waiting for?
(L. Taylor)
Think I'm in love, think I'm in love
Think I'm in love again
Think I'm in love, think I'm in love
Think I'm in love again
He calls me up
He says
I'd like to see you
I hear his voice
And it's hard to say no
It's always so good
Each time that I'm with him
My head says watch out
But my heart always gives in
And I'm caught in the game again
'Cause after he leaves
I'm never the same again
I just got me to blame again
It's easy to see he wants to be free
I can never win
Oh, but wouldn't you know it
I think I'm in love again
Think I'm in love, think I'm in love
Think I'm in love again
Think I'm in love, think I'm in love
Think I'm in love again
Think I'm in love, think I'm in love
Think I'm in love again
Think I'm in love, think I'm in love
Think I'm in love again
He says as he leaves
We both gotta be free now
I turn with a smile and I say
Don't worry 'bout me now
But deep down inside
I wish he could care for
A heart that would love him
But that's not what he's there for
And I'm caught in the game again
'Cause after he leaves
I'm never the same again
I just got me to blame again
It's easy to see he wants to be free
I can never win
Oh, but wouldn't you know it
I think I'm in love again
Think I'm in love, think I'm in love
Think I'm in love again
Think I'm in love, think I'm in love
Think I'm in love again
Think I'm in love, think I'm in love
Think I'm in love again
Think I'm in love, think I'm in love
Think I'm in love again
I'm never the same again
I can never win
Oh, wouldn't you know it
I think I'm in love again
Think I'm in love, think I'm in love
Think I'm in love again
Think I'm in love, think I'm in love
Think I'm in love again
Think I'm in love, think I'm in love
Think I'm in love again
Think I'm in love, think I'm in love
Think I'm in love again
Think I'm in love, think I'm in love
Think I'm in love again
Think I'm in love, think I'm in love
Think I'm in love again
(L. Stack/C. Christensen)
You keep running to me
And I keep running for cover
I'm not gonna give in
You may be my kind of lover
You move closer to me
Give a chance, you can find
I'm right in the thought of you
Overtakin' my mind
But ('cause) when you hold me close
So warm and tender
Oh, sweet surrender
You keep running to me
I keep running for cover
I won't give in to you
Though you're my kind of lover
But ('cause) when you hold me close
So warm and tender
Oh, sweet surrender
You're shaking me up
With just your touch
You know I wanted you so
I wanna give it all up
You can do what you wanna do
I can't resist, I surrender to you
It's gotta be fate
'Cause I can't deny you
Can't change the way I feel
No matter how I try to
But ('cause) when you hold me close
So warm and tender
Oh, sweet surrender
Oh, sweet surrender
You shake me up
With just a touch
You know I wanted you so
I'm gonna give it all up
You can do what you wanna do
I can't resist, I surrender to you
It's gotta be fate
'Cause I can't deny you
Can't change the way I feel
No matter how I try to
But ('cause) when you hold me close
So warm and tender
Oh, sweet surrender
I can't deny you
Hold me close
Hold me
(R. Seit)
Uh-huh honey
All right
My baby whispers in my ear
Mm, sweet nothings
He knows the things I like to hear
Mm, sweet nothings
Things he wouldn't tell nobody else
Secret, baby
I keep it to myself
Sweet nothings
We walk along hand in hand
Mm, sweet nothings
Yeah, we both understand
Mm, sweet nothings
He certainly takes
The time to read my book
My baby, give me that special look
Sweet nothings
Mm, sweet nothings
Uh-huh honey
I'm sitting on my front porch
Mm, sweet nothings
Well, do I love you?
Of course
Mm, sweet nothings
Mama turned on
The front porch light
And said
";Come in darling
That's enough for tonight";
Sweet nothings
Mm, sweet nothings
Sweet nothings
Mm, sweet nothings
Sweet nothings
(D. Hartman)

Just close your eyes
And slowly drift away
Call the stars down from the skies
It's the end of another day
Let your spirits fly
Into this magic night
You should be fast asleep
Bathed in golden light
It's late at night
I watch you sleep
Holding you tight
My love will protect and keep you strong
All night long
Dreams are for dreamers
Who somehow lost their way
Once you find the secret
There's no need to be afraid
And tell the bad dreams to just go away
Dreams are like rainbows
Just follow where they lead
In your dreams you found the lock
In your prayers you'll find the key
My love will guide you
High above the stars
In dreams you can do many wonderful things
Even find out who you are
When you dream I'll be there
Just picture me in your mind
When you're scared
I'll take care of you
When you dream I'll be there
If you need someone to hold
Hold on to me
That's all you have to do
To make you dreams come true
Dreams can be magic
If the truth is what you seek
Open up your heart
And you'll be forever free
When you dream
And tell the bad dreams
To just go away...
(Toshifumi Hinata/John Bettis/PeterAsher/Diana Ross)
Time after time
And any time at all
I could turn to you
With my back to the wall
And you would always give to me
All I asked of you
That's why I call you my friend
You will be my friend
Now 'till my life is ended
So many tears
That you have turned to smiles
I can't believe we survived
All the endless miles
Two hearts broken together
Will heal into one
That's why I call you my friend
You will be my friend
Now 'till my life is ended
Sweet love and tenderness
All our hopes and dreams
Will take us through the hard times
Let winter come
As cold as it will be
My arms are open wide
You can just run to me
As warm as any summer
I am here for you
That's why I call you my friend
You will be my friend
Now 'till my life is ended
As friend
(Toshifumi Hinata/Bill Wray/Diana Ross)
Last night I had a dream
Lost in a golden paradise
Trying hard to find my way
Every day a new surprise
I found something wonderful
Here in my private world
All alone in the darkness
The truth can make you strong
Did you ever kiss the sky
Did you ever dream at night
Did you ever wonder why
Stars fall from the sky
Birds know how to fly
Day breaks and I'm awake
No dark clouds hanging over me
Holding on for heaven's sakes
Trusting's hard to do
It's a long road, where does it end
Hand in hand with you my friend
We can never give up, never give in
Look how far you've come
Did you ever kiss the sky
Did you ever dream at night
Did you ever wonder why
Stars fall from the sky
Birds know how to fly
My hopes, my fears, my dreams
Come shining through
As long as I have you
I have you
Did you ever kiss the sky
Did you ever dream at night
Did you ever wonder why
Stars fall from the sky
Birds know how to fly
Did you ever kiss the sky
Did you ever dream at night
Did you ever wonder why
Did you ever kiss the sky
Did you ever dream at night
Did you ever wonder why
(Toshifumi Hinata/Bill Wray/Diana Ross)
In a world of make believe
You can change all that you see
But in the world of reality
You've taught me all that I need
Time like a river flows
Twisting and turning all the way
Life is an endless road
You've been with me day by day
The only way I can thank you
Is to be the best that I can be
If we hold on together
Just you and me
A mother's love is forever
A mother's love is for free
It doesn't matter if you're good or bad
She's there for whatever you need
In the world of fantasy
Hold on to your dreams
Open up your heart and see
All the love you need is me
Time like a river flows
Twisting and turning all the way
Life is an endless road
You've been with me day by day
You are you and I am me
You've made me all that I am
Heart to heart and hand to hand
Always there to understand
A mother's love is forever
A mother's love is for free
It doesn't matter if you're good or bad
She's there for whatever you need
Doesn't matter if you're good or bad
There's nothing like a mother's love
(Marsha Malamet/Liz Vidal)
From your lips to God's ear
May every wish and every prayer find its way
Always be heard and every day
May you see them answered
In the ones you love
In the ones who love you
Your hearts reflection comes shining through
Brighter than the sun
Stronger than you knew
In the ones you love
In the ones who love you
With each tear, with each smile
May you hold life dear
Learning all the wise
What can't be changed, try to accept
And though you'll make mistakes
May you find forgiveness
In the ones you love
In the ones who love you
Your hearts reflections comes shining through
Brighter than the sun
Stronger than you knew
In the ones you love
In the ones who love you
And in the ones you love (love)
Find shelter and have faith (faith)
And through whatever comes (comes)
Rejoice and celebrate (celebrate)
In the ones who love you
Your hearts reflection comes shining through
Brighter than the sun (brighter)
Stronger than you knew (stronger)
In the ones you love
In the ones who love you
In the ones you love
In the ones who love you
Your hearts reflections comes shining through
Brighter than the sun (brighter)
Stronger than you knew (stronger)
In the ones you love
In the ones who love you
In the ones you love
In the ones who love you
Your hearts reflection comes shining through
Brighter than the sun (brighter)
Stronger than you knew
In the ones you love
In the ones who love you
In the ones you love
In the ones who love you
Your hearts reflections comes shining through
Brighter than the sun
Brighter than the sunset
Stronger than you knew
(Diana Ross/Stan Scates)
What is this I hear
Falling softly in my ears
Quietly telling me to wipe away my tears
Yesterdays are gone
And love has cleared the way
No matter who you are
You can touch the stars
Life's interactions can make you smile
Just listen to the voice in your heart
The voice is near you, it's never too far
The voice is with you, where ever you are
It's closer than close, calling to your heart
I hear the voice of love
I hear the voice of love
The voice will never leave you
It lives deep down inside
It's calling you, asking you
To open up your heart
All things are achievable
Nothing is impossible
You can reach your highest high
You can make it if you try
Life's interactions can make you smile
Just listen to the voice in your heart
The voice is near you, it's never too far
The voice is with you, where ever you are
It's closer than close, calling to your heart
I hear the voice of love
I hear the voice of love
Follow where it leads you in the dark
The voice will guide your heart
The voice is always near
I hear the voice, I found the voice
From the mountains to the sea
The voice of love is calling me
Where ever you are, the voice is near you
It's never too far, the voice is with you
I hear the voice of love
I hear the voice of love
I hear the voice of love
(Diana Ross/Freddie Gorman/Janie Bradford)
Go deep in circles
To find it in me
Rain falls around to my beginnings
So many riddles of my identity
I know all the answers of who I'm supposed to be
I am me
Good or bad
I am myself
I'm no carbon copy of no one else
Right or wrong
I will stand up like a tree
Happy or sad
Good or bad
I am me
I am me
Following a move
Set up by some others
I would lose myself
And become another
Should I fail
And come to my ruin
Or if I succeed
It would be, be my doing
I'm me
Good or bad
I am myself
I'm no carbon copy of no one else
Right or wrong
I will stand up like a tree
Happy or sad
Good or bad
I am me
I am me
Different images
So many people see
Not knowing themselves
They are unique
To copy may be flattery
I understand
I can be a better me
Than anyone else
I am me
Good or bad
I am myself
I'm no carbon copy of no one else
Right or wrong
I will stand up like a tree
Happy or sad
Good or bad
I am me
I am me
I am me
(Deke Richards)
As I glance across the table
Your empty chair is out of place
Living here just ain't that easy now
But there are signs of trying on my face
We need you
You're the strength
You're the sunshine of our days
We need you
And the wisdom of your ways
In our dreams, you are here
When we wake you disappear
Without you
Life is one long lonely day
Both the kids, they still love you
You know, they always ask me
When is daddy coming home
Then we talk, and laugh about the good times
Without you, they still feel so alone
We need you
You're the strength
You're the sunshine of our day
We need you
And the wisdom of your way
In our dreams
You are here
When we wake you disappear
Without you, life is one long lonely day
Someone's knocking at the door of my heart
Telling me what we need
Is a brand new start
That ain't true
We need you
In our dreams
You are here
When we wake you disappear
Without you life is one long lonely day
We need you
We need you
In our dreams you are here
When we wake you disappear
Without you life is one long lonely day
We need you
We need you
In our dreams
You are here
When we wake you disappear
Without you life is one long lonely day
(Marvin Gaye/Al CLeveland)
I just want to ask a question
Who really cares?
To save a world
A world in despair
Who cares?
There'll come a time, when the world won't be singing
And flowers won't grow, no, bells won't be ringin'
But who cares?
Who really cares?
Who's willing to try to save the world
That is destined to die
When I look at the world it fills me with sorrow
Little children today really suffer tomorrow
Oh what a shame, what a sad way to live
All who is to blame, when we can't stop livin'
You gotta live, live for life
But let live everybody
Live life for the children
Oh, for the children
You see, we have to save the babies
Save the babies
Save the babies, save the babies
If you wanna love, save the babies
All the children all over the world
(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart)
When I was very young
The world was younger than I
As merry as a carousel
The circustent was strong
With every star in the sky
Above the ring I loved so well
Now the young world has grown old
Gone are the tinsle and gold
Sit there and count your fingers
What can you do?
Oh girl you're through
All you can count on are your fingers
Unlucky little girl blue
Sit there and count the raindrops
Falling on you
It's time you knew
All you can count on are the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue
No use oh girl
You may as well surrender
Your hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
To cheer little girl blue
(Michael Randall)
If your heart is breaking
'Cause your dream's not coming true
Leave a little room
To start again
If your faith is shaken
Though it seems you thought it through
Leave a little room
For it to mend
Leave a little room
To find a friend
Leave a little room
To start again
First you think you're alone
And the world's made of stone
And the game isn't fair
'Till you know someone cares
'Till someone cares
If your love is leaving
And you thought that it was true
Leave a little room
To think again
If your heart is bleeding
And you don't know what to do
Leave a little room
For it to mend
Leave a little room
To find a friend
Leave a little room
To start again
And you're glad you're alive
You've got nothing to hide
And the feeling is free
And the feeling is me
If your heart is breaking
'Cause your dream's not coming true
Leave a little room
To start again
If your love is leaving
And you thought that it was true
Leave a little room
To find it
Put a little faith behind it
Leave a little room
And start again
Leave a little room
To find it
Put a little faith behind it
Leave a little room
And start again
Leave a little room
To start again
(Paul Williams/R. Nichols)
Day after day I must face a world of strangers
Where I don't belong,
I'm not that strong
It's nice to know that there's someone I can turn to
Who will always care
You're always there
When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my small list of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you
So many times when the city seems to be
Without a friendly face,
A lonely place
It's nice to know that you'll be there if I need you
And you always smile
It's all worth while
When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my small list of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you
Touch me and I end up singing
Troubles seem to up and disappear
You touch me with the love you're bringin'
I can't really lose when you're near
When you're near my love
If all my friends have forgotten all their promisses
They're not unkind,
Just hard to find
One look at you and I know that
I could learn to live without the rest
I found the best
When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my small list of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you
When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my small list of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day...
(Oscar Brown Jr.)
Brown baby
Brown baby
As you grow up
I want you to drink from the plenty cup
I want you to stand up
Tall and proud
I want you to speak up
Speak up clear and cloud
Brown baby
Brown baby
As years roll by
Walk with your head held high
I want you to live by
Live by the justice code
I want you to walk down
Walk down the freedom road
Brown baby
Brown baby
Now baby
Lie away
Lie away sleeping
Lie away here in my arms
While your mommy and daddy protect you
And keep you save from harm
Brown baby
Brown baby
It makes me so glad
That you will have things
I've never had
When out of men's hearts
All the hate is hurled
You're gonna live
You're gonna live in a better world
Brown baby
Mmammamama
Brown baby
Mmammamama
Sweet thing
Lie away sleeping
(Michael Masser/Gerry Goffin)
Stay with me
Spend just one more day with me
Maybe you can rearrange your plans
I know there's a whole new world to found
And it's to that world you're bound
Put please don't leave me standing here
Stranded on the ground
Won't you stay with me
Stay with me
Spend just one more day with me
I can't bear to see it end this way
If I could spend one day with you
It would last my whole life through
And of all the nights I've held you close
Tonight's the night that means the most
Won't you stay with me
Just stay with me
I never thought that I would meet someone so beautiful
Never thought I'd see a night like this
'Cause if you know you're gonna loose someone so beautiful
For the rest of your life
That's an awful lot to miss
So won't you stay with me
Stay with me
Spend just one more day with me
Maybe you can rearrange your plans
Won't you stay with me
I can't bear to see it end this way
I never thought that I would meet someone so beautiful
Never thought I'd see a night like this, yeah
'Cause if you know you're gonna loose someone sobeautiful
For the rest of your life
That's an awful lot to miss
So, won't you stay with me
I can't bear to see it in this way
Won't you stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
So, won't you stay with me
I can't bear to see it in this way
Won't you stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
For the rest of your life
Stay with me
(Michael Masser/Gerry Goffin)
Feel like a fool
Not realizing all the value you had
I took a happy ending and made it sad
The day I walked away and left you alone
with hardly an explanation
You stood on your own
And handled the situation
And showed to me
How understanding you could be
Now I'm alone
Looking back at all the years that we shared
Thinking of the pain you should have been spared
Afraid to ask forgiveness
But where can I go
There's no one else to turn to
I still have my pride
But now its time to learn to cast it aside
And come to you with honesty
Give me just one more chance
Such a simple thing I'm asking for
Just one more chance
It would be a shame to close the door to
One more chance
Isn't that what we pray each night for?
One more chance
Isn't that what we're fighting for?
Why throw away a love that needs one more chance
Now I'm afraid that after all I've said
You'll still turn me down and you'll smile
And say I'll see you around
But remember that you still have a choice
And I hope and pray you'll make it
You'll think of my heart
And you won't wanna break it
And I'll prove to you the kind of lady I can be
Give me just one more chance
Such a simple thing I'm asking for
Just one more chance
It would be a shame to close the door to
One more chance
Isn't that what we pray each night for?
One more chance
Isn't that what we're fighting for?
One more chance
Don't you know that we belong together
One more chance
Now I really need you more than ever
One more chance
You and I can really make it baby
One more chance
All you have do is say the words to
One more chance
One more
One more chance
One more chance
(Michael Masser/Allee Willis)
How do you live with a broken heart?
Everytime you come too close
I just run away
I need you so much
And that's so hard to say
There is me and there is you
And I get confused
And sooner or later
I know that I'll have to choose
You know it's true
I'm crying my heart out for you
What can I do
I'm losing myself over you
Over and over again
I'm crying my heart out for you
No-one in love likes to lose
How do you live with a broken heart
And I can honestly say
I wanna be on my own
That too bare existence
When I was all alone
I know you're not asking me
To just live for you
But it's always how I've loved
And all I know how to do
You know it's true
I'm crying my heart out for you
What can I do
I'm losing myself over you
Over and over again
I'm crying my heart out for you
No-one in love likes to lose
But how do you live with a broken heart?
Once again I'm falling in love
Like a fool I'm falling in love
And I don't know what I'm doing
Once again it's somebody else
That I need, I'm losing myself
And I'm scared of what I'm feeling
It's true
I'm crying my heart out for you
What can I do
I'm losing myself over you
Over and over again
I'm crying my heart out for you
No-one in love likes to lose
Once again I'm falling in love
Like a fool I'm falling in love
And I don't know what I'm doing, doing
Once again it's somebody else
That I need, I'm losing myself
And I'm scared of what I'm feeling
About you
I'm crying my heart out for you
What can I do
I'm losing myself over you
Over and over again
I'm crying my heart out for you
What can I do
I'm losing myself over you
Over and over again
(Charlie Smalls)
You can't win
You can't break even
And you can't get out of the game
People keep sayin'
Things are gonna change
But they look just like they're staying the same
You get in
Way over your head
And you've only got yourself to blame
You can't win, chile
You can't break even
And you can't get out of the game
You can't win
The world keeps movin'
And you're standin' far behind
People keep sayin'
Things 'll get better
Just to ease your state of mind
So you lay back
And you smoke that smoke
And you drink your glass of wine
You can't win, chile
You can't break even
And you can't get out of the game
You can't win
You can't win
No way if your story stays the same
You ain't winnin'
But it's nice to see you
I'm awfully glad you came
Better cool it
'Cause it ain't about losin'
Then the world has got no shame
You can't win, chile
You can't break even
And you can't get out of the game
You can't win
You can't win
You can't break even
Ain't the way
It's supposed to be
You'll be spendin'
Your little bit of money
While someone else ride free
Learn your lesson, refuel your mind
Before some turkey blows out your flame
(Charlie Smalls)
What would I do
If I could suddenly feel
And to know once again
That what I feel is real?
I could cry
I could smile
I might lay back for a while
Oh, tell me what
What would I do if I could feel?
What would I do
If I could reach inside of me
And to know how it feels
To say I like what I see?
Then I'd be more
than glad to share
All that I have inside of here
And the songs
My heart might bring
You'd be more
Than glad to sing
And if tears should fall from my eyes
Just think of all the wounds
They could mend
And just think of all the time
I could spend
Just being vuln'rable again
Oh, tell me what
What would I do?
Oh, tell me what
What would I do?
Oh, tell me what
What would I do
If I could feel?
(Charlie Smalls)
Put your arms around me child
Like when you bumped your shin
Then you'll know I love you now
As I loved you then
Though you maybe trying sometimes
And I'll need you
And you're not there
You know I may get mad
And turn away
But you know that I still care
But you cannot ask for more
Than can come from me
I am older than you are
And one day you'll see
If I lose my patience with you
And I suddenly start to scream
It's only because I just want you to be
Everything that I see in my dreams
And I'd like to know it's there
The feeling that we have
When you know that you can come
Running to me
Whenever times are bad
Don't lose the feeling that we have
Don't lose the feeling that we have
Though you are growing older now
And I'm watching you grow
I know I make you sad sometimes
And I see your feeling show
But one day I'll look around
And you will be grown
You'll be out in the world
Such a pretty girl
You'll be on your own
And I'd like to know it's there
The feeling that we have
Knowing that you can come to me
Whenever you are sad
And I'd like to know it's there
The feeling that we have
Don't lose the feeling that we have
Don't lose the feeling that we have
Don't lose the feeling that we have
(Charlie Smalls)
Miss One?
Munchkins?
There's a feeling here inside
That I cannot hide
And I know I've tried
But it's turning me around
I'm not sure that I'm aware
If I'm up or down
Or here or there
I need both feet on the ground
Maybe I'm just going crazy
Let myself get uptight
I'm acting just like a baby
But I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be alright
Soon as I get home
Soon as I get home
Soon as I get home
In a different place
In a different time
Different people around me
I would like to know of that different world
And how different they find me
And just what's a Wiz
Is he big, will he scare me?
If I ask to leave
Will the Wiz even hear me?
How will I know then
If I'll ever get home again?
Here I am alone
Though it feels the same
I don't know where I'm going
I'm here on my own
And it's not a game
And a strange wind is blowing
I'm so amazed
At the things that I see here
Don't want to be afraid
I just don't want to be afraid
I just don't want to be here
In my mind this is clear
What am I doing here?
I wish I was home
I wish
I wish
I wish
(Charlie Smalls)
Slide some oil to me
Let it trickle down my spine
If you don't have S.T.P.
Crisco will do just fine
Slide some to my elbows
And to my fingers if you would
Slide some oil to me, girl
Whoo! Don't that feel good!
Slide some oil to my feet, look
I got toes again
Come on and slide some oil to my knees
And let me see if I can bend
Slide some oil to me
I'm beginning to feel just fine
Slide some oil down my throat
And let me lubricate my mind
Slide some oil to me
go ahead, hit my shoulder blades
Those who don't have to lubricate
Sure got it made
Slide some oil to me
Let it slip down my side
Laying there in one position
Sure does make me tired
Now watch me dance!
And let me lubricate my mind
(Quincy Jones/Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)
Feeling?
Feeling?
Swear to God this is more than I can deal with
Thinkin' back on that old song
Where did I go wrong by caring and sharing
Mean together no matter
I can't stand not knowing
Is this what feeling gets
A hope for happy endings?
Alone and scared
Something I don't want to be
What did he see when he looked inside of me?
If this is just a dream
How come I feel like screaming?
This is the real world
Gotta do what you must, girl
Well
Can I?
Can I?
Is this what feeling gets?
So is there a happy ending?
There's nothing here but the fear of
Will I try?
And can I stare it in the eye
Not ever knowing why?
Please
Please
Can someone tell me why?
(Charlie Smalls)
Think of home
Home
When I think of home
I think of a place where there's love overflowing
I wish I was home
I wish I was back there with the things I been knowing
Wind that makes the tall trees bend into leaning
Suddenly the snowflakes that fall have a meaning
Sprinklin' the scene, makes it all clean
Maybe there's a chance for me to go back there
Now that I have some direction
It would sure be nice to be back home
Where there's love and affection
And just maybe I can convince time to slow up
Giving me enough time in my life to grow up
Time be my friend, let me start again
Suddenly my world has changed it's face
But I still know where I'm going
I have had my mind spun around in space
And yet I've watched it growing
If you're list'ning God
Please don't make it hard to know
If we should believe in the things that we see
Tell us, should we run away
Should we try and stay
Or would it be better just to let things be?
Living here, in this brand new world
Might be a fantasy
But it taught me to love
So it's real, real to me
And I've learned
That we must look inside our hearts
To find a world full of love
Like yours
Like me
Like home...
(Charlie Smalls)
Sweet thing,
Let me tell you 'bout
The world and the way things are.
You've come from a different place
And I know you've traveled far.
Now that you've told me what it is,
I'd better point you towards the Wiz.
He's the Wiz,
He's the man,
He's the only one,
Who can give your wish right to ya.
He's the Wizard.
He'll send you back through time
By running magic through ya.
All of the super power's his.
Listen and I'll tell you where he is.
He's the Wiz and he lives in Oz.
He's the Wizard.
There's the way to Emerald City.
That's not too far, is it?
He's the Wizard.
Just take your dilemma, child,
And lay it on the Wizard.
He'll fix you a drink
That'll bubble and foam.
And in a flash
you will be home.
He's the Wiz.
He's the Wiz.
He's the Wizard of Oz
He's got magic up his sleeve
He's the Wizard
And you know without his help,
It would be impossible to leave
Fantastic powers at his command
And I'm sure that he will understand
He's the Wiz and he lives in Oz
Sweet thing,
Let me tell you 'bout
The world and the way things are
I'm gonna point you towards the Wiz
He's the Wiz
Fantastic powers at his command
And I'm sure that he will understand
He's the Wiz and he lives in Oz
Sweet thing,
Let me tell you 'bout
The world and the way things are
You've come from a different place
And I know you've traveled far.
Now that you've told me what it is,
I'd better point you towards the Wiz.
He's the Wiz!
(Quincy Jones/Charlie Smalls)
EMERALD CITY GREEN:
I want to be seen green

When I wake up in the afternoon
Which it pleases me to do
Don't nobody bring me no bad news
'Cause I wake up already negative
And I've wired up my fuse
So don't nobody bring me no bad news
If we're going to be buddies
Better bone up on the rules
'Cause don't nobody bring me no bad news
You can be my best of friends
As opposed to payin' dues
But don't nobody bring me no bad news
No bad news
No bad news
Don't you ever bring me no bad news
'Cause I'll make you an offer, child
That you cannot refuse
So don't nobody bring me no bad news
When you're talking to me
Don't be cryin' the blues
'Cause don't nobody bring me no bad news
You can verbalize and vocalize
But just bring me the clues
But don't nobody bring me no bad news
Bring some message in your head
Or in something you can't lose
But don't you ever bring me no bad news
If you're gonna bring me something
Bring me, something I can use
But don't you bring me no bad news
(Quincy Jones/Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)
Lose it?
Lose it?
I don't even know the first thing
About what they're feeling
What am I afraid of?
Don't know what I'm made of
Can I go on
Not knowing?
Feeling?
Feeling?
Something tells me
That it's more than I can deal with
Though I never knew the song
Some words still catch on
Like caring and sharing
Being together no matter
Can I go on
Not knowing?
Don't know what I'm made of
Why am I afraid of feeling?
Feeling?
If I dare to take a chance
Would someone lead me?
(Charlie Smalls)
If you believe
Within your heart
You'll know that no one can change
The path that you must go
Believe what you feel
And know you're right because
The time will come around
When you'll say it's yours
Believe that you can go home
Believe you can float on air
Then click your heels three times
If you believe
Then you'll be there
That's why I want you to
Believe in yourself
Right from the start
Believe in the magic
Right there in your heart
Go ahead believe all these things
Not because I told you to
But believe in yourself
If you believe in yourself
Just believe in yourself
As I believe in you
(Charlie Smalls)
There is a place we'll go
Where there is mostly quiet
Flowers and butterflies
A rainbow lives beside it
And from a velvet sky
A summer storm
You can feel the coolness in the air
But you're still warm
And then a mighty roar
Will start the sky to cryin'
But not even light'ning
Will be frightening my lion
And with no fear inside
No need to run
No need to hide
You're standing strong and tall
You're the bravest of them all
If on courage you must call
Then just keep on tryin'
And tryin', and tryin'
You're a lion
In your own way, be a lion
Come on be a lion
I am standing strong and tall
You're the bravest of them all
If on courage you must call
Keep on tryin'
And tryin', and tryin'
I'm a lion
In my own way
I'm a lion
A lion
A lion
A lion
(Luther Vandross)
Everybody look around
'Cause there's a reason to rejoice you see
Everybody come out
And let's commence to singing joyfully
Everybody look up
And feel the hope that we've been waiting for
Everybody's glad
Because our silent fear and dread is gone
Freedom, you see, has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about
You owe it to yourself to check it out
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Everybody be glad
Because the sun is shining just for us
Everybody wake up
Into the morning into happiness
Hello world
It's like a different way of living now
And thank you world
We always knew that we'd be free somehow
In harmony
And show the world that we've got liberty
It's such a change
For us to live so independently
Freedom, you see, has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about
You owe it to yourself to check it out
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Everybody be glad
Because the sun is shining just for us
Everybody wake up
Into the morning into happiness
Hello world
It's like a different way of living now
And thank you world
We always knew that we'd be free somehow
In harmony
And show the world that we've got liberty
It's such a change
For us to live so independently
Freedom, you see, has got our hearts singing so joyfully
Just look about
You owe it to yourself to check it out
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?
Can't you feel a brand new day?

Say what you wanna
But I'm here to stay
'Cause I'm a mean ole lion
You can go where you're gonna
But don't get in my way
I'm a mean ole lion
You'll be standing in a draft
If you don't hear me laugh
And if you happen to come around
Well, you best not make me frown
For I just might knock you down
I'm a mean ole lion
You know I'm ready to fight
And turn your day into night
'Cause I'm a mean ole lion
If you're half bright
You'll detour to the right
From a mean ole lion
All you strangers better beware
This is the king of the jungle here
And if I happen to let you slide
Don't just stand here
Run and hide
You just caught my better side
I'm a mean ole lion
Look,
You better beware
This is the king of the jungle here
And if I happen to let you slide
Don't stand here
Run and hide
You just caught my better side
I'm a mean ole lion
I'm a mean ole lion
(Cydney Davis/Lloyd Tolbert)
We have been together much too long
God has given us a special bond
Let's take it and make it last forever
You have given me so much respect
You put your love for me above all else
Understand, you're my man
Can't wait to show you
What I'll do
When I say I do
I'll do it just for you
You're gonna love it
Think it's time for us to set a date
So much harder for us both to wait, so long
It's getting strong
And I can't hold it
I know this kind of love is heaven sent
And I've got faith that this was always meant to be
You and me
And I can't wait to show you
What I'll do
When I say I do
You know my love is true
You're gonna love it
What I'll do
When I say I do
I'll do it just for you
You're gonna love it
I've got a vision
Of passion's burning fire
I've made a decision
To give you all your desire
I've been thinking 'bout loving you
All night, all day, ain't gonna give you a break
Our honeymoon will last forever
I hope that you're in shape
For what I'll do
So what you want me to do?
I know this kind of love is heaven sent
I got faith that this was always meant to be
You and me
I can't wait to show you
What I'll do
When I say I do
You know my love is true
You're gonna love it
What I'll do
When I say I do
I'll do it just for you
You're gonna love it
What I'll do
When I say I do
You know my love is true
You're gonna love it
What I'll do
When I say I do
I'll do it just for you
You're gonna love it
(Joe Galdo/Lawrence Dermer/Rafael Vigil)
Nothing has changed, same as it was
It's time to think about the future
Forget about the past
Once it's all gone, you can't go back
So now it's up to us to find a way
To try and make it last
Until you give your heart completely
Unless you take that chance
Then it can't happen
It's not all in vain
We can make a change
Just you and I
Everythings is left in our hands
We've gotta make a resolution
We need a better plan
Don't go too slow
We must move fast
There has to be a way to make it work
To keep it in our grasp
Until you give your heart completely
Unless you take that chance
Then it can't happen
It's not all in vain
We can make a change
Just you and I
We gotta stay together
Gotta find a ray of hope in stormy weather
Trying to make it better
Till we find a way to make it last forever
Some things remain, others have gone
It's up to us to get solutions
We must come up with one
Can't get it wrong. It must be right
Because we lost too many battles
And we gotta win the fight
Until you give your heart completely
Unless you take that chance
Then it can't happen
It's not all in vain
We can make a change
Just you and I
Everything is the same as it was
It's up to us to try to find a way
To try to make it last
(Al B. Sure/K. West)

But if...if you'll stay our love would find a way, a way
Oh no I love you

God bless the day that you came!
(Yeah no matter, yeah no matter)

In the news today
Heavy weather
Oh, I can remember
The skies were so blue
That lucky old moon I promised to you
Now it's gone lately
Something's happening
I don't understand
Oh, how come Decembers
Are hotter that June?
And how come the flowers
Don't know when to bloom?
Something's wrong, people
Something's happening
Happening where we live
The rising smoke against an endless sea of cars
As mother nature gets another senseless scar
In the news today
I guess we're in for heavy weather
In the world today
We're heading for some heavy weather
The rain is falling harder each day
The faces keep changing
But the problem remains
Something's wrong, people
Right before our eyes
We've been hypnotized
The sound of silence
Broken by the sound of war
How can we heal
If we keep opening up the sore?
In the news today
I guess we're in for heavy weather
In the world today
We're heading for some heavy weather
Will we ever hear the message?
Read the signs?
Stop all this talking now
It's time to save our lives
In the news today
I guess we're in for heavy weather
In the world today
We're heading for some heavy...
The road ahead keeps leading back again
The train we're on is coming to an end
Let's open up our eyes
In the world today
We're heading for some heavy weather
In the news today
I guess we're in for heavy weather
In the news today
I guess we're in for heavy weather
(Diane Warren/Robbie Buchanan)
We said we'd try again
But trying's not enough
Acting like strangers
Ain't no way of making love
It's never gonna work
It's time we stop pretending
It's time to turn the page
All stories need an ending
It makes no sense to stay
Livin' my life in yesterday
I'm leaving, I'm leaving
And I'm begging you
Heart, don't change my mind
Oh, heart be strong this time and try
To help me tell him goodbye
It'll only bring pain for us to stay
Oh, heart it's hard for you I know
Let me, let him go
Don't let me think about
How good it was before
I know you'd try anything
To keep me from that door
It's hard to leave him
When you've loved him for so long now
How can I walk away
If you're still holding on now?
I've finally found the strength
Look at me, I can finally say
It's over, it's over
So, I'm begging you
Heart, don't change my mind
Oh, heart be strong this time and try
To help me tell him goodbye
It'll only bring pain for us to stay
Oh, heart it's hard for you I know
Let me, let him go
It makes no sense to stay
Sad that it has to end this way
It's over, it's over
Heart, don't change my mind
Oh, heart be strong this time and try
To help me tell him goodbye
It'll only bring pain for us to stay
Oh, heart it's hard for you I know
Let me, let him go
Heart, don't change my mind
Oh, heart it's hard for you I know
Let me, let him go
Let me, let him go
(Paul Carrack/Nick Lowe)
I live on a battlefield
Surrounding by the ruins of a love we built
And them destroyed between us
The smoke has cleared
As I stumble through the rubble
I'm dazed, seeing double
And I'm truly mystified
My new home is a shell-hole filled
With tears and muddy water
And bits of broken heart
All around, there is desolation
Scenes of devestation
Of a love been torn apart
I live on a battlefield
Though one where not one
Single drop of blood has spilled
Is no less horryfying
Sweet memories
Of a bygone situation
Lie shattered, torn and battered
And scattered all around
My new home is a shell-hole filled
With tears and muddy water
And bits of broken heart
All around, there is desolation
Scenes of devestation
Of a love been torn apart
Everything that can, has gone wrong
It's gonna take spine to carry on
Like a drownin' woman coming up for air
I'm looking for another survivor
I can't see one anywhere
My new home is a shell-hole filled
With tears and muddy water
And bits of broken heart
All around, there is desolation
Scenes of devestation
Of a love been torn apart
I live on a battlefield, hey
I live on a battlefield, hey
Can't go on, baby
Tears and muddy water
Scattered all around me, babe
I live on a battlefield
I live on a battlefield
(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)

No one, no one gets the prize
No one, no one
No one gets the prize
We were best of friends
It all began
He came in to town and changed the plan
I knew she felt, the same as me
Which one of us would it be
Just in fun, fight begun
Before long a web of hate was spun
she pretended same as me
Oh, but friends again we'd never be
No one, no one gets the prize
She told him lies, and I told him lies
No one, no one gets the prize
She schemed and dreamed and told him dirt
That I was wrong for him
I told him all the boys she'd hurt and I would number them
He was the ray of light that made our hearts live
But either one of us knew really how to give
So we scandalized and criticized
And then we learned how to despise
No one, no one gets the prize
She told him lies and I lied, I lied yeah
No one, no one gets the prize
No, no, no
Yeah, yeah
Back off
Tried to steal him, tried to steal him
Tried to steal him
Runnin' behind my back
Tried to steal him
Tried to show him where it was at
Watch it now
No, no I won't take second place
No, no tell him to his face
We were friends for so, so, so long
Messed around, now he's gone gone gone gone
No one, no one gets the prize
No, no
No one, no one gets the prize
I wasn't alive, a love that's satisfied
No one, no one gets the prize
It wasn't fair, the love I couldn't share
No one, no one gets the prize
No, no
No one, no one gets the prize
No one, no one gets the prize
She lied, I lied, we lied
No one, no one

It's my house and I live here
(I wanna tell you)
It's my house and I live here
There's a welcome mat at the door
And if you come on in
You're gonna get much more
There's my chair
I put it there
Everything you see
Is with love and care
It's my house and I live here
(I wanna tell you)
It's my house and I live here
On the table, there sits a rose
Through every window
A little light flows
Books of feeling on the shelf above
'Cause it was built for love
I was built for love
It's my house and I live here
(I wanna tell you)
It's my house and I live here
There's a candle to light the stairs
Where my dreams await someone to share
Oh, there's music on the radio
And good vibrations won't let me go
I put my name on the ceilin' above
'Cause it was buillt for love
It was built for love, ooh
You say you wanna move in with me
You say you wanna move in with me
Got to follow the rules to get me
Got to follow the rules to get me
You wanna visit my house

Wanna visit my house, yeah
To see me sometimes

And if you come on in

I put my name in the ceilin' above
'Cause it was built for love
It was built for love
It's my house and I live here
(I wanna tell you)
It's my house and I live here
(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)
I'm in the world
I'm in the world
I'm in the world
I must be part of it
At last convinced
To the right of it
I'm in the world
For some reason or another
Sometimes I get up
And sometimes I don't bother
But I'm here
I'm here for, oh Lord, who knows?
My light gets dim
Then it glows, ooh yeah
I'm in the world
I'm in the world
I'm in the world
And being what it is
I've learnt to look
To look beyond the tears
I'm in the world
Though hearts don't break even
I'll take my chances
'Cause it ain't about leaving
I'm here
I'm here and I won't apologize
Maybe at the end there'll be a surprise
Oh, yeah
'Cause I'm in the world
Good or bad
I'm in the world
Yes, I'm here
I'm in the world
I'm here, I'm here
I'm in the world
I'm in the world
I'm here
I'm in the world
Oh, yes, oh, yes
I'm in the world
Good or bad
I'm here in the world

Too many nights
Too many tears
Too many years
Too many nights I've waited around for you
As the nights turn into weeks, I couldn't even sleep
Too many tears I've cried but now I'm through
I'm ready to dry my eyes again, this time I won't pretend
I thought that I could make it on my own
And the thought of starting over again
Scared me into staying here with you
Long after all the heartache began
I'm through with waiting in an empty bed
One for dinner when it should be two
I'm tired of holding back what should be said
I'm gonna let it go and stand up to you
Hey, too many nights I've waited around for you
As the nights turn into weeks, I couldn't even sleep
Too many tears I've cried but now I'm through
I'm ready to dry my eyes again, this time I won't pretend
My pride was swallowed one too many times
I've kept on turning my back on the truth
Now I'm as serious as a heart attack
'Coz I've decided baby, we're through
I'm growing stronger from experience
The woman in me's taking a stand
You taught me good, I learned my lesson well
And I'm never gonna let it happen again, no
Too many nights I've waited around for you
As the nights turn into weeks, I couldn't even sleep
Too many tears I've cried but now I'm through
I'm ready to dry my eyes again, this time I won't pretend
I'm gonna turn the page
Put heartache in the past
I gotta think about getting strong
And I'll put all those memories on the shelf
And make the space for someone else
(Too many nights I've waited around for you)
Too many nights
(Too many nights)
Too many nights
Hey, too many tears I've cried but now I'm through
(I'm through)
I'm ready to dry my eyes again, this time I won't pretend
Too many nights I've waited around for you
I've waited around for you
As the nights turn into weeks, I couldn't even sleep
Too many tears I've cried but now I'm through
I cried, cried, cried
Too many nights
Too many tears
Too many years
(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)
All for one and one for all
You live, you give, you have a ball
There's no need to live on an island
Cause everyone here respects your opinion
It all adds up to
It's your strength we need
So get behind and push
If you don't want to lead
Cause it's all for one and one for all
You live, you give, you have a ball
I don't know your future plans
But divided I'm sure
You will not stand
I said all that to say
There's an easier way
If it's love that we share
Then there's no debt to pay
Cause we are all down here under the sky
Won't you try
Won't you try
We're all down here
You're not alone
You've been pushing and pulling and shoving
Since the day you were born
So let's try
All for one and one for all

Get down inside
Together
(J.T.Stanley/John Bettis/B.Roberts)
Sometimes when your world seems so big and real
You may run to the shelter of walls
Sometimes you may wish
You could be like your shadow
It fits wherever it falls
Whenever the night's too deep to find
And the morning is too far away
Wherever you are
There's always a star to guide the way
There to guide the way
If you listen long enough
If you dream it strong enough
A door inside will open
And a light will flood the dark
Like a song too long unsung
Or a soul forever young
We all will find an answer
In the voice of the heart
Tonight if a dream should come to your sleep
With a picture you don't wanna see
Go where it leads, from secret to secret
You are what you want to be
Whenever the sun refuses to shine
And you can't chase the storm clouds away
Wherever you are there's always a star to guide the way
There to guide the way
If you listen long enough
If you dream it strong enough
A door inside will open
And a light will flood the dark
Like a song too long unsung
Or a soul forever young
We all will find an answer
In the voice of the heart
Living in a private world
There are times when it's hard to break through
So don't give up
Each time you hurt you've got nothing to lose
There's a voice inside of you
If you listen long enough
If you dream it strong enough
A door inside will open
And a light will flood the dark
Like a song too long unsung
Or a soul forever young
We all will find an answer
In the voice of the heart
If you listen long enough
(Listen)
If you dream it strong enough
(Dream it)
A door inside will open
And a light will flood the dark
Like a song too long unsung
Or a soul forever young
We will find the answer
In the voice of the heart
If you listen long enough
(Long enough)
If you dream it strong enough
(Strong enough)
A door inside will open
And a light will flood the dark
Like a song too long unsung
Or a soul forever young
We will find an answer
In the voice of the heart
If you listen long enough
If you dream it strong enough
In the voice
In the voice of the heart
We will find the answer
Like a song too long unsung
(Narada Michael Walden/S.J.Dakota/Germaine)
Take me to that place
Higher
Go, hold on
Go
(Take me higher)
(Take me higher)
In my mind I see the possibilities
When it comes to love there are no boundaries
Do you think that you and I can work it out
That's what true love's about
Baby we can find an answer if we look inside our hearts
Love will be there waiting for us
Baby we can rise above it if we leave our doubts behind us
We can learn to fly high above us
There's a place up in the sky
Where the sun is shining
Take me higher
(Take me higher)
There's a place I long to be
Where the birds are flying
Take me higher
(Take me higher)
See it on the news, there's trouble eveywhere
Gotta reach out show somebody that you care
It ain't good to let the bad news get us down
Let's spread some love around
Even if you want to go there
To a place above the clouds
Got to feel the power of love (power of love)
Baby we can rise above it if we leave our doubts behind
We can learn to fly high above us
There's a place up in the sky
Where the sun is shining
Take me higher
(Take me higher)
There's a place I long to be
Where the birds are flying
Take me higher
(Take me higher)
(repeat)
You gotta reach out
Feel the power of love
Show somebody you care
Take me...
Oh baby

There's a place up in the sky
Where the sun is shining
Take me higher

There's a place I long to be
Where the birds are flying
Take me higher

Take me higher
Take me, take me

Where the sun is shining

(Take me higher)
There's a place I long to be
I want to go flying
(Take me higher)

Oh yeah
Hey hey
I wanna know, do you have style?
The kind of style that makes a woman want to lose her mind
And I wanna know when you make it worth my time
Will it be like all the rest won't give you best, just fall behind
'Coz I wanna know what turns you on
And you keep the loving strong
'Coz with me you don't have to ask
'Coz I'm the woman that'll give you what you need
Tell me
Do you think you can swing a little time with me
Swing it, swing it
I'll be all that you need
Do you think you can swing a little time with me
Swing it, swing it
I'll be all that you need
There's not a thing that I won't do
Once I find a man that gives me love it's kind of cool
Take any night by candlelight
I wanna be to you the one you never had before
'Coz I wanna know what turns you on
And you keep the loving strong
'Coz with me you don't have to ask
'Coz I'm the woman that'll give you what you need
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Do you think you can swing a little time with me
Swing it, come on
I'll be all that you need
Do you think you can swing a little time with me
Swing it, swing it
I'll be all that you need

Come on baby
Swing it, swing it, swing it with me
Do you, do you
Swing it, swing it, swing it with me
Do you
Do you think that you could swing a little time with me
Swing it, swing it
Do you swing it
Do you think that you could swing a little time with me
Swing it, swing it
I'll be all that you need
Do you think that you could swing a little time with me
Swing it, swing it
Do you think that you could swing a little time with me
Swing it, swing it
I'll be all that you need
Swing it, swing it, swing it
You can do it
(Nick Martinelli)
Kiss... Soul kiss...
If you wanna talk and you wanna laugh a while
Or you just want silence and a smile
If you wanna walk or just float along the Nile
If you wanna turn the day into something kind of night
All you have to do is breathe with your lips close to mine
Oh. baby. that's the kinda love we've got
We don't have to look too far to try to find a love that night
Soul kiss where love can't miss
We found a way to hold on to the wonders of a
Soul kiss kind of bliss
That finds its way straight into the one you love
If you wanna cry or just listen to your sighs
There's no judgement in these eyes
Boy. if you wanna fly or maybe settle in Versailles
We could just order pizza an' roll around and start a fire
All you have to do is breathe with your lips close to mine
oh. baby. that's the kinda love we've got
We don't even have to stop to check the clock we're so on time
Soul kiss where love can't miss
We found a way to hold on to the wonders of a
Soul kiss kind of bliss
That finds its way straight into the one you love
Baby... soul kiss...
Kiss... soul kiss...
Hey, come on...
Soul kiss where love can't miss
We found a way to hold on to the wonders of a
Soul kiss kind of bliss
That finds its way straight into the one you love
Kiss... kiss me... the soul kiss... straight into the one you love
If you wanna walk.. if you wanna talk... if you wanna fly... if you wanna cry
Kiss... come on... gimme a little soul kiss...
(Narada Michael Walden/S.J.Dakota/P.Glass)
They tell us it's better
That people should stay with their own kind
Divided by colour, afraid to be hurt by the other (yeah)
What if we try talking
We'll see we're the same on the inside
Can't let it, can't let hatred rule
Let your love in
Only love can conquer all
Only love can break down the walls
Only love can conquer all
Only love (only love)
Only love (only love)
Oh yeah
The wheel keeps, keeps on turning
We pass all our fears to our children
Rule the playground
The lines are all drawn into colours (yes)
What if we, we try harder
What if we reach out to each other (to each other)
Can't let it, can't let hatred rule
Let your love in
Let your love in
Only love can conquer all
Only love can break down the walls
Only love can conquer all
Only love (only love)
Only love (only love)
Oh yeah
Only love can conquer all
Only love can break down these walls
Only love can conquer all
Only love (only love)
Only love (only love)
Only love
(Only love)
Only love
(Only love)
Only only only
Only love
(Only love)
Only love
(Only love)
Only love
(B.Hull/Brenda Russell)
Love we all hope to find
It'll come so easy or can take its time
But I've never given up along the way
One day you're gonna raise your blinds
And evey little dew drop is a treasured find, oh my
When you say the things you have to say
Wake up and the day is dawning
It's another chance to change your mind
Reaching for the stars around you
I found you
Let somebody know what you really love
Show somebody just what you're made of
Always in a rush, don't you see the sign?
You can always take the time
(Let somebody know)
Just when you think you got it done
In just a moment it can turn around, oh my
When you're wishing for yesterday
Wake up and the day is dawning
It's another chance to change your mind
Reaching for the stars around you
I found you
Let somebody know what you really love
Show somebody just what you're made of
Always in a rush, don't you see the sign?
You can always take the time
To let somebody know that you really care
Let somebody see what you have to share
Oh yeah
It's a simple thing
To let somebody know
Always in a rush, don't you see the sign?
You can always take the time
Let somebody feel the tears that you cry
Let them know the love is still alive, oh alive
It's a simple thing
To let somebody know (somebody)
Let somebody know (somebody)
Let somebody know, oh yeah (somebody)
Somebody baby
Let somebody know, oh yeah (somebody)
You gotta let somebody know (somebody), somebody
Let somebody know (somebody)
(Jon-Jon/Babyface/C.Liscomb)
Something about you makes me feel this way
Boy I wanna know what you're startin'
Baby you can relax as a matter of fact
There's a time for love and that time's now
Since the mood's right
I only wanna see you by the moonlight
While we make sweet love
By the starlight
Baby let me take control
Oh baby
Keep it right there
Keep it right there
Keep it right there
All night, baby all night
Keep it right there
Keep it right there
Keep it right there
All night, baby all night
Can you stay right here and you hold me tight
All through the night
Doesn't that sound real nice
If control could be taken, would you take control of me
And lead me to extacy
Since the mood's right
I only wanna see you by the moonlight
While we make sweet love
By the starlight
Baby let me take control
Oh baby
Keep it right there
Keep it right there
Keep it right there
Keep it there baby
All night, baby all night
Keep it right there
Keep it right there
Keep it right there
All night, baby all night
Keep it right there
Keep it right there
Keep it right there
All night, baby all night
Baby, keep it right there
Keep it right there

All night, baby all night

Can't ignore what I feel inside my heart
I won't hold back I'll it go tonight
Gonna take control
Keep it right there
Keep it right there
Keep it right there
All night, baby all night

(M.Seward)
Hey, oh
Hey yeah
Hey baby, hey baby
The phone is ringing
And I'm running late
I've no time to get it
'Coz I'm expecting you at eight
Heard your voice on the message
I'm surprised you called
Said you're all tied up
And you ain't comin' at all
If you're not gonna love me right
Baby don't love me at all
You're just gonna make me crazy
If you're not gonna love me right
Baby don't love me at all
If you're not gonna love me right, oh
(Baby don't love, baby don't love me)
At all
(Baby don't love, baby don't love me)
At all
Another box of roses outside on my porch
Twelve long excuses none of them stop the hurt
Where's this going, do you really care?
Is this real love, I don't know anymore I swear
If you're not gonna love me right
Baby don't love me at all
Baby don't make me crazy
If you're not gonna love me right
Baby don't love me at all
If you're not gonna love me right, yeah
(Baby don't love, baby don't love me)
Oh baby
(Baby don't love, baby don't love me)
I really want you, oh baby
(Baby don't love, baby don't love me)
If you're not gonna love me right
(Baby don't love, baby don't love me)
Baby just make me crazy
Baby, I want you here
If you're not here it makes me feel like
I can't trust you
You make me crazy if you really love me
You see
Oh, I get confused when you hold me next to you
I wanna go further, oh baby yes I do
I just can't hold on to something that won't last
So we'd better slow down, and maybe not go so fast
Maybe not go so fast
If you're not gonna love me right
Baby don't love me at all
You're just gonna make me crazy
(If you're not gonna love me right)
If you're not gonna love me
Baby don't love me, baby don't love me, baby don't love me
If you're not gonna love me right
If you're not gonna love me right
Baby, don't love me at all
You're just gonna make me crazy
If you're not gonna love me right
Baby, don't love me at all
You're just gonna make me crazy
(Baby don't love, baby don't love me)
Baby don't love, baby don't love me
(Baby don't love, baby don't love me)
Baby don't love, baby don't love me
(Baby don't love, baby don't love me)
Baby don't love, baby don't love me
(Baby don't love, baby don't love me)
If you're not gonna do it right
(Baby don't love, baby don't love me)
If you're not gonna do it right
(Baby don't love, baby don't love me)
If you're not gonna do it right
(Baby don't love, baby don't love me)
Baby don't love, baby don't love me

Baby don't love, baby don't love, baby don't love me

What a sweet surprise
Can't believe my eyes
This has really made my day
It's so out of the blue
Runnin' in to you
That I just don't know what to say
It's so hard to forget the last time we met
How everything just went so wrong
I'm so happy to see you again
I'm so happy to see you again, yeah
Haven't been so happy
Since I don't know when to see you again
It does my heart good
Oh, you know I could
Just break down and cry
Always felt so bad
It still makes me sad for the way we said goodbye
Oh, but seeing you here brings it back so clear
We've been apart for too long
I'm so happy to see you again
I'm so happy to see you again, yeah
Haven't been so happy
Since I don't know when to see you again
I'm so happy now
But has another found a love that I let down
Love failed to recognize
And if you're still all alone
Well baby, come back home
And let's give it one more try
I'm so happy to see you again
I'm so happy to see you again, yeah
Haven't been so happy
Since I don't know, I don't know when to see you again
Ooh I'm so happy now
I'm so aah-aah-aah-aah-
I don't know when to see you again
To say it boy, you know, you know I'm so happy now
I'm so aah-aah-aah-aah-
I don't know when to see you again
Yeah, I'm so happy now
(F.Perren & D.Fekaris)
(This is dedicated to my girls)
At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side
Then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
And so you're back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here, with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
Go on now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Coz you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no not I, I will survive
For as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give
I'll survive
I will survive
Hey hey
(I, I will survive)
Hey hey
(I, I will survive)
Every day
(I, I will survive)
Oh yeah
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Just trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high
And you see me, somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
But now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me
Go on now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now
You're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no not I, I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give
I'll survive
I will survive
Hey hey
Go now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Coz you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no not I, I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give
I'll survive
I will survive
I will survive
(I, I will survive)
Hey
(I, I will survive)
Every day
(I, I will survive)
Yeah yeah
(I, I will survive)
Oh
(I, I will survive)
I will survive
(I, I will survive)
(I, I will survive)
I've got all my love to give
(I, I will survive)
I've got all my life to live
(I, I will survive)
My loving is not in vain, oh no
(I, I will survive)
I will survive
(I, I will survive)
I will survive
(I, I will survive)
Hey

(Liz Vidal/Tom Snow)
Last night while we were talking the way that old friends do
I suddenly got lost in my yesterdays with you
I told you that in my heart you would always be the one
That I'd lie waking in the dark, pray that you will come
But I didn't mean to say that
Somehow it just slipped out
I swear that I would take it back
If I could right now
All I ask is you believe
I'd forgotten where I was
With you there so close to me
I thought that we were still in love
Oh I knew just what I'd done when you stood up so fast
And say the friends that we'd become can't hold on to the past
You said it's been a long long time since love came to an end
If I hadn't learned to draw the line, it's useless to pretend
But I didn't mean to say that
Somehow it just slipped out
I swear that I would take it back
If I could right now
All I ask is you believe
I'd forgotten where I was
With you there so close to me
I thought that we were still in love
I don't think I could take goodbye, that much is still the truth
Won't you forgive me just for one night, it's what a friend would do
'Coz I didn't mean to say that
Somehow it just slipped out
I swear that I would take it back
If I could right now
All I ask is you believe
I'd forgotten where I was
With you there so close to me
I thought that we were still in love
Still in love
I thought that we were still in love
(Chuck Boom/A-Tone)
Don't stop
Love me right
Don't stop doing what you're doing
The way you touch me makes me feel so good
There's something about the way you love me
Boy you got me calling out your name
I love the way you love me baby
I can never run away from you
Give me all of your good love
Until I overflow
Don't stop
Don't stop
Love me right
Love me right
Kiss me any time you want to
Love with you is where I wanna be
Could we do what you do to me
I just can't get enough
Don't stop
Don't stop
Love me right
Love me right
I like what you do boy
(I like what you do boy)
You bring me so much joy
(So much joy)
So much that I can't get enough
(I can't get enough)
And I l-o-v-e you
Don't stop
Don't stop
Love me right
Love me right
The time that you're givin' good
I like it a lot
It goes on and on
And you know it don't stop
As you relaxin' max as I kick dope tracks
And yo' it's on like that
With the D-I-A-N-A Ross
Yeah you can't touch the boss
'Coz baby got the bum love
And you're only one that I'm thinking of
It don't stop
Don't stop
Don't stop
Love me right
Love me right
Don't stop
Don't stop
Love me right
Love me right
Don't stop
(P. Castro/M.A. Kelly)
Waiting on the wings
On the wings of time
Wonder what's to come
And what we will find
Dancing on a dream
In the magic of our mind
Reaching for the sun
As long as it shines
Living day to day
While we're on our way
We'll find we're already there
We are the children
We are the children
We are the children of the world
Underneath the blue
In a solitary light
Guiding by a star
A star in the night
The enemy we see
Is the enemy inside
Knowing we can win
Without knowing why
We'd be lost in hope
While we search for more
We find we're already there
We are the children
We are the children
We are the children of the world
We are the children
We are the children
We are the children of the world
How many times do we look to the sky
Knowing we've nothing to lose
We are the children who wanted to fly
Now we can fly to the moon
We are the children
We are the children
We are the children of the world
We are the children
We are the children
We are the children of the world
(R. Miner/C. Smith)
Rescue me
And take me in your arms
Rescue me
I want your tender charms
'Coz I'm lonely and I'm blue
I need you and your love too
Come on and rescue me
Come on baby and rescue me
Come on baby and rescue me
'Coz I need you, need you by my side
Can't you see that I'm lonely
Rescue me
Come on and take my heart
Take your love and conquer every part
'Coz I'm lonely and I'm blue
I need you and your love too
Come on and rescue me
Come on baby and rescue me
Come on baby and rescue me
'Coz I need you by my side
Can't you see that I'm lonely
Rescue me
Rescue me
Oh take me in your arms
Rescue me
I want your tender charms
'Coz I'm lonely and I'm blue
I need you and your love too
Come on and rescue me
Come on baby and rescue me
Come on baby and rescue me
'Coz I need you, need you by my side
Can't you see that I'm lonely
(K. De Vito/R. Benson)
I made the first move on the floor
Hard on the points
And driving hard for more
But you weren't keeping score
I couldn't let you get away
I tried to think of something cool to say
So I'll beg you to stay
Nobody turns my head
Nobody knocks me dead
Nobody makes me crazy like you do
Like you do
You told me to call you on the phone
It's busy for hours
Then you're never home
Or you're not alone
You left me standing on the street
It's pouring down rain and burning up in heat
And I'm so incomplete
Nobody makes me a fool
Nobody breaks my rules
Nobody makes me crazy like you do
Like you do
Say it's alright
Say it's alright
Say we'll spend some time together
Beware the heart
Unleashed and unchained
I'm on the edge
And I'm not ashamed
Finally in my deepest hope
In my prison under my control
I'll never let you go
Nobody's half as tough
Nobody tears me up
Nobody makes me crazy like you do
Nobody turns my head
Nobody knocks me dead
Nobody makes me crazy like you do
Like you do
Like you do
Say it's alright
Say it's alright
Say we'll spend some time together
Say it's alright
Say it's alright
Say we'll spend some time together
(repeat to fade)
(S. Kipner/T. Shaddick)
I don't understand it
'Cause you won't say yes
But you don't say no
You say you know we shouldn't
You keep holding out
But you don't let go
I'm giving up on trying
To sell you things
That you ain't buying
It's your move
I've made up my mind
Time is running out
Make a move
Oh, we can go on
Do you understand
It's all in your hands
It's your move
You're giving me the business
With what old come-on
But you don't come across
You get me so excited
Don't you know you're such a tease
When I think you're getting hot
You're not
So what's the problem
What's wrong
This kiss and miss
You know it can't go on
It's your move
I've made up my mind
Time is running out
Make a move
'Cause we can't go on
I want you to know
It's your move
Your turn to go
I'm giving up on trying
To sell you things you ain't buying
It's your move
I've made up my mind
Time is running out
Make a move
Oh, we can't go on
Do you understand
It's all in your hands
It's your move
I've made up my mind
Time is running out
Make a move
Oh, we can't go on
Do you understand
It's all in your hand
It's your move
I've made up my mind
Time is running out
Make a move
Oh, we can't go on
Do you understand
It's all in your hands
It's your move
I've made up my mind
Time is running out
(B. Dylan)
May God bless
And keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb every road
And may you stay forever young
May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the light surrounding you
May you always be gracious
Stand upright and be strong
And may you stay
Stay forever young
Forever young
Forever young
May you stay forever young
May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
With the winds changing shift
May your heart always be joyful
May your song always be sung
And may you stay
Forever young
Forever young
Stay forever young
Stay forever young
Stay
Stay forever young
Forever young
Forever young
Stay forever young

I've never had this feeling before
I've never wanted anyone more
And something in your eyes tells me
You feel the way that I do
(I feel like you do)
If you would like to stay here all night
You know that I would say
It's all right
'Though I'm saying yes
I confess
I've got more on my mind
'Cause I want more of you
Than your time
All of you, your body and soul
Every kind of love you can express
All the secret dreams you've never told
I want everything
And I'll take nothing less
All of you as long as you live
Everything you've never shared before
I want all of you that you can give
All your joys and all your sorrows
Your todays and your tomorrows
How I long to feel the warmth of your touch
And then if I'm not asking too much
I'd like to spend my life wand'ring through
All the wonders of you
And when we're lying close in the dark
So close I feel each beat of your heart
I want you to reveal what you feel
All you hold deep inside
There is nothing I want you to hide
All of you, your body and soul
Everything you want this love to be
I want all of you
All that you can give
And in return for all your giving
Let me give you all of me
All of you, your body and soul
Every kind of love you can express
All the secret dreams you've never told
I want everything (everything) everything
All of you as long as you live
(As long as you live)
Everything you want this love to be
I want all of you
All that you can give
In return (in return) I wanna give you
(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)
Bye baby, see you around
Didn't I tell you I wouldn't hold you down
Take good care of yourself, y'hear
Don't let me hear about you shedding a tear
You're gonna make it
You're gonna take it
Remember me as a sunny day
That you once had, along the way
Didn't I inspire you a little higher
Remember me as a funny clown
That made you laugh when you were down
Didn't I boy, didn't I boy
Remember me as a big balloon
At a carnaval that ended too soon
Remember me as a breath of spring
Remember me as a good thing
Bye baby, see you around
I already know about the new love you've found
What can I do but wish you well
What we had was really swell
I won't forget it, I have no regrets
Remember me as a sound of laughter
And my face the morning after
Didn't the sky beckon us to fly?
Yes, you'l remember the times we fought
But don't forget me in your tender thoughts
Please darlin' oh yeah
Remember me when you drink the wine
Of sweet succes and I gave you my best
Remember me every song you sing
Remember me as a good thing
Remember me as a sunny day
Please darling, remember me as a good thing
Remember me when you drink the wine
Remember me as a good thing
Remember me as a big balloon
Don't forget me darling
(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)
I roll the dice
Seven eleven

Or you'll take me to heaven
And I'm so glad
I took the chance on you baby
I said I'm so glad
I took the chance on you baby
My friends all say

So look at me now

Yes, I am
She's a winner
Yeah, yes I am

Like a roulette wheel
Spinning around in my head
I put my chips on nine
Gamblin' you'd be mine
And I'm so glad
I took a chance on you baby
Say I'm so glad
I took the chance on you baby
My friends all say
We just don't understand it
You play this game

'Cause here we arrange her
And then shortchange her
But I fooled them, y'all
I'm a winner
I'm a winner
Yes I am
She's a winner
Yes I am
Put that money down
and put 'dem chips on nine
I'm a gambling girl
And I give all I got
So I am at your love
And I hit the jackpot
And I'm so glad
I took a chance on you baby
I'm so glad
I took the chance on you baby
I'm a winner
Yes I am
I'm a winner
Yes I am

Every star has a twinkle
Every palm has a wrinkle
Every leaf comes from a tree
I would agree
So if everything is made up of two
And the sky really needs the blue
For my other half
I'll settle for you
Every future has a past
Every first has a last
Every night has a day
Come what may
So if everything is made up of two
Whether it be old or new
For my other half
I'll settle for you
Who wants to be like a sea without a shore
The love just drifting forever more
Every smile has a frown
All you gotta do is turn it upside down
Every house has a door
Of that I'm sure
So if everything is made up of two
I think it would be best if you know
For my other half
I'll settle for you
Don't you know, I'll settle for you
I'll settle for you
If I had to settle, baby
I'll settle for you
Don't you know, I'll settle for you
(Brian Holland/Nickolas Ashford/ValerieSimpson)
Here's a tear, for a souvenir
And a dream, that's torn at the seams
Here's a promise you made to me
Of the tomorrow I'll never see
And then you're free to go
But I can't give back the love
I feel for you
I'm gonna be stuck with it
No matter what I do
Take these arms that held you close
I thought I was the one you needed the most
Take these hands, they're no good to me
That used to touch you so tenderly
But I can't give back the love
That's a part of me
If you want just a little bit
You have to take all of me
Here's a ring
That didn't mean a thing
And the letters you wrote
That gave my young heart hope
Take the pillow where my dreams were made
And the mind, where the thought of you stayed
But baby, you should know
That I can't give back the love
I feel for you
I'm gonna be stuck with it
No matter what I do
Take these eyes that once could see
Now reflections of a misery
The hapiness I thought would last
Now a becoming just a thing of the past
But I can't give back the love
That's a part of me
If you want just a little bit
You have to take all of me
No, I can't give back
No, I feel for you
Oh, I'm gonna be stuck
No matter what I do
'Cause it'll grow 'till the world
Don't go 'round no more
But I can't give back the love
I feel for you
I'm gonna be stuck with it
No matter what I do
But I can't give back the love
I feel for you
I'm gonna be stuck with it
No matter what I do
But I can't give back the love
I feel for you
I'm gonna be stuck with it
No matter what I do
(M. Pinkard/W. Tracy/D. Tauber)
I fell in love with you
The first time I looked into
Them there eyes
'Cause you have a certain
Little cute way of flirting with
Them there eyes
They make me feel so happy
They make me feel so blue
I'm falling, no stalling
In a great big way for you
My heart is jumping
You started something with
Them there eyes
You better look out
Little brown eyes
If you're wise
They sparkle, they bubble
Gonna get you in a whole lotta trouble
Ooh baby, them there eyes
(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)
Remember when you left?
You had your own rules about playing the game
And any day, you could walk away feeling no pain
Now look at yourself
You're all hung up on somebody else
And in your eyes I see all the signs of the misery
That you laid on me
Baby, baby
Didn't you know you'd have to cry sometime?
Didn't you know
Didn't you know you'd have to hurt sometime?
Didn't you know that you'd lose your pride?
Didn't anybody tell you love had another side?
You used to be so proud
Now, your head's a little lower
And you walk slower
And you don't talk so loud
You've gotten wise
You know how love can build you up one moment
And the next, cut you down to size
Then you discover
All she told you was a bunch of lies
Baby, baby
Didn't you know you'd have to cry sometime?
Didn't you know
Didn't you know you'd have to hurt sometime?
Didn't you know that you'd lose your pride?
Didn't anybody tell you love had another side?
Baby, baby
Didn't you know you'd have to cry sometime?
Didn't you know
Didn't you know you'd have to hurt sometime?
Didn't you know you'd have to cry sometime?
Didn't you know you'd have to hurt sometime?
Didn't you know you'd have to hurt sometime?
Didn't you know you'd have to hurt sometime?
(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson/R. Monica)
Did you read the morning paper
Did you see the front headline
Did you read the morning paper
Baby let me lend you mine
There on the front page was a picture
Of a crowd as they watched a parade passing by
And through the haze of last nights sleep
Something familiar caught my eye
There was a couple looking so much in love, yes
They had a front line view
And as I pulled the paper closer
I realized standing next to her it was you
Did you read the morning paper
Did you see the front headline
Did you read the morning paper
Baby let me lend you mine
Now I know why you've been working late each night
And no longer have desire to ever hold me tight
And your busy, busy schedule was all a lie
Oh, even the dream with a bonus, oh just another alibi
Did you read the morning paper
Did you see the front headline
Did you read the morning paper
Baby let me lend you mine
Did you get the news today
Did you read the morning paper
Isn't the picture very clear
Where do we go from here
Did you read the morning paper
Did you see the front headlines
Did you read the morning paper
Baby let me lend you mine
Oh, what now
Did you read the morning paper
Did you get the news today
(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)
And if you see him
Tell him I miss him
Tell him I feel so bad
For messing up what we had
And if you see him
Tell him I'm sorry
And I regret the day
I let him walk away
And I want to be by his side
And I need his love and pride
And I need him
And if you see him
Tell him I'm begging
I'll do a song and dance
Just for a second chance
And if you see him
Tell him just how I look
The circles underneath my eyes
The make up don't seem to hide
And I stay awake every night
And I pray that he just might walk in
And love me
Walk in and love me
I miss him more than he'll ever know
Tell him he was
My everything
He was more than just a flame
And I need him
I miss him
And if you see him
Tell him my fire
No, it's just won't burn
Till the day that he returns
And I want to be by his side
And I need his love and pride
And if you see him
Tell him I'm begging
(Alan Chapman/Michael Hanna)
Whenever I touch you
Lately you seem to pull away OK
Maybe I'm trying too hard to hang on
But whenever I hold you
You never look into my eyes, surprised
I guess I was fooling myself all along
Love lies
'Cause it doesn't last forever
Love lies
It makes you feel so clever
You give and it just takes
And leaves your heart to ache
Love lies
Whenever I kiss you
You never want to lose control so cold
Its taken so long to find out
But now I see that we can't even talk now
How your love always turned me on
They're gone
This isn't how I thought love is gonna be
Love lies
'Cause it doesn't last forever
Love lies
Though it makes you feel so clever
You can give and it just takes
And leaves your heart to ache
Love lies
Love lies
Love lies
Love lies
Love lies
(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)
Thought I could make it
Without you
Thought I could walk away
And never look back
Thought I had the secret
To stop these eyes from crying
Told myself he were no good
So what's the need in trying
But as you see, here I am
Loving you stronger than ever
Promising to be better
Getting into my head
I don't know how
To be nothing but yours
I guess I should have learned
From all the befores
I wrote a nice long letter
Explaining my reasons for leaving
Hoping it would tear you apart
And leave you grieving
I bet you didn't even read it
You're so familiar with the lines
You just glanced up at the clock
'Cause you knew the exact time I'd knock
Without pride
Here I stand
Waiting for your forgiveness
This is where I belong
Come what may
This time I'll stay
You might as well lock all the doors
I guess I should have learned
From all the befores
Promising to be better
And getting into my head
I don't know how to be nothing but yours
I guess I should have learned
From all the befores
(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)
If it didn't hurt so bad
If it didn't hurt so bad
Maybe I could cry
If I thought it was all a joke
And you were putting me on
If I could just make a wish
And this moment would be all gone
If I could see a trace of hope
Somewhere in your eyes
Maybe then I could do
A simple thing like cry
If it didn't hurt so bad
If it didn't hurt so bad
Maybe I could cry
Don't you know I plan to spend
Every moment of my life with you
Now you're trying to tell me
That my dreams just won't come true
Thanks for giving me a million reasons why
But it hurts too bad to do
A simple thing like cry
If I thought it was all a joke
And you were putting me on
If I could just make a wish
And this moment would be all gone
If I could see a trace of hope
Somewhere in your eyes
Maybe then I could do
A simple thing like cry
If it didn't hurt so bad
If it didn't hurt me so bad
Maybe I could
If it didn't hurt so bad
Maybe I could cry
I could cry, cry
If it didn't hurt me
If I didn't love you
Hurt me
Southern trees bear a strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the roots
Black bodies swingin' in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hangin' from the poplar trees
Pastoral scene of the gallant south
The bulging eyes and twisted mouth
Scent of magnolias sweet and fresh
And the sudden smell of burning flesh
Here is the fruit
For the crows to pluck
For the rain to gather
For the wind to suck
For the sun to rot
For the tree to drop
(W. Wilson)
Up in Harlem every saturday night
Were the highbrows get together, just to write
They all congregate at an allnite hack
What they do is ooh papa dah
Ol' Hannah Brown, way cross town
Gets full of corn and starts brining 'em down
And at the break of day
You can hear ol' Hannah say
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer
Send me daddy, move right down
I feel just like I wanna clown
Give the piano player a drink
Because he's bringing me down
He's got rhythm, when he stomps his feet
He moves me right off to sleep
Check all your razors and your guns
We're gonna be arrested when the wagon comes
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer
Send me 'cause I don't care
I want a pigfoot and a bottle of gin
Send me daddy, move right in
Feel just like I wanna shop
Give the piano player a drink
Because he's knocking me out
He's got rhythm when he stomps his feet
He moves me right off to sleep
Check all your razors and your guns
We're gonna do the huckabuck until the rising sun
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of gin
Move me 'cause I don't care
I want a pigfoot and a bottle of beer
(Berry Blue/Rob Bowkett)
Who left my lover in the rain
Who washed away the colors in my life again
Who left my lover in the rain
Who washed away the colors in my life
There's no use crying, trying hard
What else can I do
But he becomes another man
Another case of fool
Why go on living and giving up
Much more than I receive
Its taken time to realize
But now I've opened my eyes to you
Who left my lover in the rain
Who washed away the colors in my life again
Who left my lover in the rain
Who washed away the colors in my life
But who is right, who was wrong
When love just fades away
It could've been me, it could've been you
But now I never find out who
Who left my lover in the rain
Who washed away the colors in my life again
Who left my lover in the rain
Who washed away the colors in my life again
Who left my lover in the rain
Hush now, don't 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 chatter
And I know you cheat
Right or wrong, don't matter
When you're with me, sweet
Hush now, don't explain
You're my joy and pain
I'm glad you're back
Don't explain
You know that I love you
What love endures
All my thoughts of you
For I'm so completely yours
Cry to hear folks chatter
And I know you cheat
Right or wrong, don't matter
When you're with me, sweet
Hush now, don't explain
You're my joy and pain
My life's yours, love
(Diana Ross/Steve Goldstein)
Turn me over...
(Randy Handley)
Because I saw your face
A photograph I had misplaced
Now I'm stuck remembering
What can not be replaced
'Cause I spoke your name
I felt a sudden chill
'Cause I dream of you
I know I always will
I'm still in love
I can't let go
My heart's made up it's mind
A long, long time ago
I'm still in love
I haven't changed
After all I'm still in love
'Cause you were my friend
When no one seemed to care
Now I'm stuck remembering
Oh, I do wish that you were here
'Cause you knew my mind
Life will come apart
Because you showed me
I could make another start
I'm still in love
I haven't changed
After all I'm still in love
If there comes a time
And if you finally feel the way I do
Don't be afraid to call me
And tell me
I'm still in love
I can't let go
My heart's made up it's mind
Long, long time ago
I'm still in love
I will never change
After all I'm still in love
(Diana Ross/Bill Wray/Bob Mounsey)
So close
When I look into your eyes
So close
I feel I'm hypnotized
I wanna stay here
For the rest of my life
So close
When you smile at me that way
So close
It takes my breathe away
I love you more
With every beat of my heart
Ooh, I remember the night we met
I knew I'd never, ever be the same
Ooh, I remember the night you said you loved me
In and instant my whole world changed
So close (closer and closer)
Feel your body next to mine
So close (closer and closer)
(closer and closer and closer)
I'll lose a sense of time
I wanna stay here for the rest of my life
I wanna stay here for the rest of my life
Ooh, I remember the night we met
I knew I never ever be the same
Ooh, I remember the first time you said you loved me
I love you darling
In an instant my whole world changed
So close (closer and closer)
Being here with you
So close
And there's nothing I'd rather do
Than make you stay here
And I'll keep you always so close
Closer and closer
Come on closer to me boy
(Michael Masser/Lomda creed)
Hold me, touch me, make me your woman
I will love you with sweet surrender
Tonight our hearts will beat as one
So won't you hold me, make me your woman
Tonight, something in your eyes I see
A pure and simple honesty
Won't you hold me in your arms
Tonight will last forever
Let's not waste this precious time
This moment's ours to treasure
Won't you hold me in your arms
Don't make me wait forever
When the morning sun appears
We'll find our way together
Believe you when you say that you love me
Know that I won't take you for granted
Tonight our hearts will beat as one
Hold me, make me your woman
Tonight, something in your eyes I see
I won't betray your trust in me
Won't you hold me in your arms
Tonight will last forever
Let's not waste this precious time
This moment's ours to treasure
Won't you hold me in your arms
Don't make me wait forever
When the morning sun appears
We'll find our way together
Hold me, touch me
Make me your woman tonight
(Diana Ross/Ray Chew/Bill Wray)
What do you want, baby
One last piece of my heart
What do you need, baby
We could make a new start
I'm not scared
All the nights alone
Lying there crying with the television on
Watching those scoops about love and happiness
Wonder what I ever did to deserve a fate like
I don't wanna be around
For that famous final scene
I just can't help myself
I'm a fool for your love
Leave me alone, please
My heart can't take any more
You left me going crazy
It started like just like a phone
You're the number one
You're the only one I need
If you don't want my love
Then set me free
I don't wanna be around
For that famous final scene
I can't help myself
I'm a fool for your love
Don't come closer
You know I'm easy to phone
You don't love me
Any fool can see
I'm telling you goodbye
Bye, bye
Leave me alone, please
My heart can't take anymore
Leave me alone, please
Let me walk out that door
Leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone
I don't wanna be around
For that famous final scene
I just can't help myself
I'm a fool for your love
I'm a fool for your love
I'm a fool for your love
Leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone
A fool for your love
I'm a fool for your love
Leave me alone, please
My heart can't take it no more
Leave me alone, leave me alone
(David Roberts)
Who will be the one you run to
Whenever it's dark and cold outside
And where will you go
When you need a place to hide
Baby, did you know that I'd loved you still
But I won't relax until
You're back in my arms
Can't you see that my love is real
Darling, anywhere you run to
I will be right behind you
And you know I'll find you
Anywhere you run to
I will be right behind you
'Cause I must remind you
I would sail a boat across the sea
I would fly a plane to wherever you may be
Think you should know
That my love can only grow
But if it's the last thing that I'll ever do
I swear that I'll make it back to you
Before you leave
There's one thing that you must believe
Darling, anywhere you run to
I will be right behind you
And you know I'll find you
Anywhere you run to
I will be right behind you
'Cause I must remind you
I would sail a boat across the sea
I would fly a plane to wherever you may be
Think you should know
That my love can only grow
But if it's the last thing that I'll ever do
I swear that I'll make it back to you
Before you leave
There's one thing that you must believe
Darling, anywhere you run to
I will be right behind you
And you know I'll find you
Anywhere you run to
I will be right behind you
'Cause I must remind you
Anywhere you run to
I will be right behind you
And you know I'll find you
Anywhere you run to
I will be right behind you
'Cause I must remind you
Anywhere you run to
I will be right behind you
And you know I'll find you...
(R. Van Hoy/D. Allen/E. Struzick)
You don't have to say
I love you everyday
You do it
And you don't have to try
To keep me satisfied
You do it
Look what you have done
You're the only one
Who can take me away
And when you can't be mine
I spend all my time
Just waiting
Till you came back around
'Cause no one else I found
Can do it
The way you do it to me
When you love me baby
When I need to feel
The way I love to feel
You do it
I can't live without
The way you know how
To do it
Tell me what did I do right
To get you in my life
When I need you
Need you to stay
At times it almost seems
I stepped into a dream
And you hold me
I guess I'm tryin' to say
Can't do without the way
You do it
The way you do it to me
When you love me baby
I really do love the way that you do it to me
What did I do right
To get you in my life
When I need you
Need you to stay
At times it almost seems
I step into a dream
And you hold me
I guess I'm tryin' to say
Can't do without the way
You do it
The way you do it to me
When you love me baby
You don't have to say
I love you everyday
You do it
And you don't have to try
To keep me satisfied
You do it
(R. parker, Jr.)
I wanna get it straight up front
Let's tell each other what we want
So we can both decide up front
If we like it or we don't
Just as long as I'm single
I'm gonna do what the heck I please
And I dn't feel it's fair
For you to be restricting me
If you want a serious commitment
You gotta first make one yourself
If you want it one sided
You'd netter find somebody else
I wanna get it straight up front
Let's tell each other what we want
So we can both decide up front
If we like it or we don't
Now I've been in relatioships
Where I've given all of myself
I did everything for him
He did everyrthing for someone else
Now don't musuderstand me
I'm not prejudging you
But if you plan to fool around
Let me know so I can do it too
I wanna get it straight up front
Let's tell each other what we want
So we can both decide up front
If we like it or we don't
Now I know everything can't be predicted
Because love don't work that way
But we can at least agree on the rules
Before we start to play
I wanna get it straight up front
Let's tell each other what we want
So we can both decide up front
If we like it or we don't
(M. McDonald/E. Sanford)
It may seem like the wrong time
To let somebody near
But baby don't fear me
I just want to lend an ear
You can run for cover
Oh, but darling, don't you see
For every smile there's a teardrop
And that's just how it's gonna be
So it went wrong, somewhere down the line
But you can't hold on, it's just a waste of time
Boy you're gonna laugh (just a little bit)
And live through some tears (just a little bit)
Until you finally learn (that the point of it)
Is that love will come again
That's how you start over
That's how you begin again
That's how you start over
Anyone who's lost love
Always seems to swear
To never give your heart away
For someone to share
Listen to your heart, each beat brings you nearer
Till you understand, nothing seems too clear
Boy you're gonna laugh (just a little bit)
And live through some tears (just a little bit)
Until you finally learn (that the point of it)
Is that love will come again
That's how you start over
That's how you begin again
That's how you start over
Love will come again
(D. Fagen)
I knew from the first time I saw you
I wanted you for myself
You feel the same though it's got to be wrong
We each belong to somebody else
Once it was vague desire
Now it's a raging fire
Those things that people are saying
Can't keep our love on the shelf
How long can we talk about it
What good is life without it
Love will make it right
Love will make it right
Love will choose the night
Love will make it right
Four friends are driving on Sunday
Our smiles a useless disguise
By now they know what's inside our hearts
My sweet, it shows in your eyes
Through all the foolish laughter
They know just what we're after
How long can we keep on living
This life of unspoken lies
Some will be touched with sadness
But how can we stop the madness
Love will make it right
Love will make it right
Love will choose the night
Love will make it right
Some will be touched with sadness
But how can we stop the madness
Love will make it right
Love will make it right
Love will choose the night
Love will make it right
(R. Parker, Jr.)
Had a nice time
I enjoyed the picture show
When you walked me to my door
I knew I wanted more
When I asked you in
It was already getting late
Though I knew better
I didn't eaven hesitate
I like the way you hold me
And make me feel so good
Though I say I wouldn't
You kinda knew that I would
It's been so long since I've
Been with a man
Better ask myself
While I still can
Is this love or is it just loneliness
When the sun comes up is this something we will both regret
Is this love or is it just loneliness
We ought to stop and ask ourselves is it really worth it
And how about you
Do you really want me
Or am I just here
To please your masculinity
You don't see me emough
To let me know you care
You know the worst thing for a woman
Is a sometime love affair
Seems like every time
I satisfy your needs
You don't call me back
For two or three weeks
What am I gonna do
I just can't fight
The temptation of loving you
Is this love or is it just loneliness
When the sun comes up is this something we will both regret
Is this love or is it just loneliness
We ought to stop and ask ourselves is it really worth it
Sometimes it's hard
To tel the difference
I'm just not sure
if it's worth it
Is this love or is it just loneliness
When the sun comes up is this something we will both regret
Is this love or is it just loneliness
We ought to stop and ask ourselves is it really worth it
'Cause you never show up 'til midnight
Then you go home early
Now you know that ain't right
I've got a question I wanna ask you
Do you really love me or am I just a fool
Is this love or is it just loneliness
When the sun comes up is this something we will both regret
Is this love or is it just loneliness
We ought to stop and ask ourselves is it really worth it
(F. Gold/P. Ivers)
Comin' back on
Comin' back strong
Turnin' back on
Takin' the heat out in the street
Baby too long
Can you tell me how much fire
Will it take to get us higher
Hearin' the news, singin' the blues
You gotta choose
Stand up and fight, do it tonight
What can you lose
In a world of fading treasure
Love is the greatest pleasure
So let's go up, forget about down
'Cause in this town, it's gonna get rough
And what goes down, is up to us
So let's go up, baby let's go up
When it gets hot, like it or not
You want to run
Though it's so warm here in my arms
You won't get burned
In a world of fading treasures
The pleasure of your treasures
Can not be measured up
Ooh, I can't free a person from their charms
But I'll tell you this for sure
If nothing is ventured
Then nothing is gained, let's go
(D. Ross/R. Chew)
Girls you are passion
With your every more
You set the fashion
Mirrors make you invisible
Magic in a vision
So tear down the walls
Get into action
Isn't it time you
Were the main attraction
You want to taste the fast life
And fall in love through the camera's eye
Girls show the world that you believe
Girls show the world you really care
Girls show the world that you belong
Girls show the world a miracle
You want to be that girl
The best in all the woorld
Next month's cover girl
You are passion
With your every move
You set the fashion
So tear down the walls
Get into action
Isn't it time you
Were the main attraction
You want to taste the fast life
And fall in love through the camera's eye
Girls show the world that you believe
Girls show the world you really care
Girls show the world that you belong
Girls show the world a miracle
(G. Wright/K. Patterson)
Yes I believe in fairy tales
And all my favorites come true
The handsome prince rides in
And he sweeps me of my feet
And then it turns out to be you
Baby, I am the romantic kind
But you're the hero in my eyes
I knew when you walked into the room
You were the one, you were the one
You are bringing me the sun and the moon
You were the one, you were the one
Though I don't think that it was just by chance
You must have felt it like I did
It was enchantment with just one glance
A fantasy we both can live
Into the sunset you and me
Just like an old harlequin movie scene
I knew when you walked into the room
You were the one, you were the one
You are bringing me the sun and the moon
You were the one, you were the one
I knew when you walked into the room
You were the one, you were the one
You are bringing me the sun and the moon
You were the one
It was you, yeah
It was you
It was you
I knew when you walked into the room
It was you
You are bringing me the sun and the moon
It was you, yeah, you were the one
You are bringing me the sun and the moon
You are the one, you are the one
I knew when you walked into the room
You were the one, you were the one
You are bringing me the sun and the moon
You were the one, you were the one
(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)
You've given me so much warmth
I don't see how I could ever grow cold
In my mind there's a picture of you and I
That nobody has the price to buy
I don't know what made you change your mind
But you'll be back
It's just a matter of time
'Cause what you gave me is more than enough to last
Ooh, baby
What you gave me is more than enough to last
Yeah, into my life you came
Like a breath of spring
Giving me a song to sing
Though I know you're leaving
But I won't be grieving
'Cause time has a way of showing us
The things that we really need
And no matter where you go
I know you'll find your way back home
'Cause though I know it's not reality
You'll always be a part of me
'Cause what you gave me is more than enough to last
What you gave me is more than enough to last
What you gave me
What you gave me is more than enough to last
Yes, yes it's more
It's more than enough to last
Yes, yes it's more
It's more than enough to last
What you gave me is more than enough to last
What you gave me is more than enough to last
What you gave me is more than enough to last
What you gave me is more than enough to last
(M. Masser/P. Sawyer)
Together, together
Like a leaf stuck to a tree
And that's the way it oughta be
With you and me, forever more
Never ooh, never
Do I ever think of you
Without including myself
Lying close to you, forever more
It's not so easy loving you
And yet still giving you your freedom
But like a butterfly with doubt
Without the room to breathe in
Don't you think I know?
So I let you go, so that we can stay
Together, however
Close I think we oughta be
We both should try to keep
Our own identity, seperately
Whatever, clever
Plans I make away from you
Disappear the moment that I'm holding you
So tenderly
Don't you think I know
So I let you go, so that we can stay
Together, together
Give and take boy we can make it
In this world, together, together
Love is all we're fighting for
And tell me what is worth more
Than togetherness, forever more
Together, together
We're so lucky that we met
And fell in love
Together, together
Our love is all we're fighting for
Tell me what is worth more
Than togetherness, forever more
Together, forever
We're so lucky that we met
And fell in love
Together, together
(M. Masser/G. Goffin)
When you smiled as if you knew me
There was nothing else that I could do
Without a word I tried to follow you
And it was good for me to know
That I could try to love again
And the feeling running through me
I remember from another time
I could even leave this world behind
And it was good for me to know
That I could try to love again
Wouldn't it be fine just to believe
Wouldn't it be wonderful
If life were like a song
And all the magic and the peace
That lovers feel could last forever
If only this time it were real
But memory in silence only fades away
So I woke up to reality
And all the life that no one wants to see
And how could I afford the fantasy
But if was good for me to know
That I could try to love again, to love again
Wouldn't it be fine if all the magic and the peace
That lovers feel could last forever
If only this time it were real
But memory in silence only fades away
To love again
When you smiled as if you knew me
There was nothing else that I could do
Without a word I tried to follow you
And it was good for me to know
That I could try to love again
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland,Jr.)
If you feel that you can't go on
'Cause all your hope is gone
And your life is filled with confusion
And hapiness is just an illusion
And your world around is tumblin' down
Darling, reach out
Reach out, reach out
I'll give you all the love you need
I'll be there
You can always depend on me
I can tell by the way you hang your head
Your with out of love, now you're afraid
And through your tears you look around

You're alone now, no love of your own
Darling, reach out
Reach out for me boy

I'll be there

You can always depend on me
You can always depend on me
You can always depend on me
You can always depend on me
You can always depend on me
When you're lost and about to give up
'Cause your best ain't good enough
And you feel the world has grown cold
And you're driftin' on your own
When you need a hand to hold
When you need a little love
Reach out, I'll be there
Reach out, I'll be there
Reach out, I'll be there
To give you all the love you need
I'll try ro give you all the love you need

(G. Wright/K. Patterson)
You know that I
I'm the restless kind
Seems like I'm always chasing time
But when I go I know you'll miss me so
Even though I just can't help myself
Maybe you need someone else
To spend more time to ease your mind
But never say I don't love you, I do
Never say I don't love you
'Cause I do
Though I've got to be free
Never worry about me
'Cause I love you
You see I've got the journey
And it's got me burning
To do the things I've never tried
But what you give to me
Is more than you'll ever see
'Cause when I leave your side
Your love goes with me
Never measure love by time
Let the doubt ones leave your mind
Everything is fine
And never say I don't love you, I do
Never say I don't love you
'Cause I do
Though I've got to be free
Never worry about me
'Cause I love you, I do
Never say I don't love, I do
Never say I don't love you
'Cause I do
Though I've got to be free
Never worry about me
'Cause I love you, I do
Never say I don't love you
I love you
Never say I don't love you
'Cause I do
(Wintley Phipps)
You alone know how I feel down deep inside
I promised you I'll never stray from by your side
But now I'm looking back on all those yesterdays
The many times I let you down
I'm begging I can hear you say
Tell me again that you love me
And you'll love me till the stars fall from the sky
Tell me again that you love me
And the love you have for me will never die
I can tell when first we start to drift apart
The emptiness just takes hold of my wounded heart
You know I need to feel you by my side
'Cause when the night is cold and I've been so bold
There's no need to hide
Just tell me again that you love me
That you'll love me till the stars fall from the sky
Tell me again that you love me
And the love you have for me will never die
And if you light the way
I will follow you into that land of gladness
No more sadness
Tell me again that you love me
That you'll love me till the stars fall from the sky
Tell me again that you love me
And the love you have for me
The love you have for me will never die
(Carter/Terrel/Daniel)
You thought you had found a good girl
One to love you and give you the world
Now you've found 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 all right
That girl you had didn't have much sense
She wasn't worth all the time that you spent
She had another man throw you out doors
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 all right
She would embarass you anywhere
She let everybody know she didn't care
Give me a chance I'm begging you
I just wanna take care of you
Come on and tell mama all about it
Tell mama what you need
Tell mama what you want
Tell mama just what you want right now
Come on and tell mama all about it
Tell mama what you need
Tell mama what you want
Tell mama just what you want right now
(Bill Wray/Diana Ross/Mark Cawley)
Bloodpressure's rising
Can't catch my breath
Everytime I hear footsteps coming nearer
These strange vibrations
I can't resist
The feeling scares me so
I lose control
My head is shaking
And my knees are weak
I feel the ground moving under me
You're sending
You're sending me shockwaves, shockwaves
You're sending
You're sending me shockwaves, shockwaves
This strong sensation
Is burning in me
Everytime I hear you whisper in my ear
Got to have hold of my heart
Like gravity I can't try to hide it
No way to fight it
My hands are shaking
And my knees are weak
I feel the ground moving under me
You're sending
You're sending me shockwaves, shockwaves
You're sending
You're sending me shockwaves, shockwaves
You're sending
You're sending me shockwaves, shockwaves
You're sending me
You're sending me shockwaves, shockwaves
Heaven knows I tried
To keep my sanity
But mama never told me
What a man like you could do to me
Hey shockwaves
Hey shockwaves
You're sending, you're sending me shockwaves
You're sending, you're sending me shockwaves
You're sending, you're sending me shockwaves
You're sending, you're sending me shockwaves
(Wilfred McGinley/Carl Smith)
Selfish one, why keep your love to yourself
It's like a souvenir that just sits on a shelf
It seems like you built a fence around your heart
Afraid that sharing might tear it apart
You pass up every chance at the start of romance
Selfish one, why keep your love in store
You think it's still that keeps forever more
You feel as I do when I ache
My heart could break down in a lonely stage
You better let your heart find a mate before it's too late
You let so much time pass by
I find myself still giving you the eye
You must have realised much to my surprise
You're making eyes at me
Is it really you
Now selfish one, you're walking me to my door
Selfish one, you never did this before
Without a chance to resist, your lips get mine
You're beginning to let your love light shine
I can see that you're really on the ball
You're not selfish at all
No, not at all
The way you hold me, the way you squize me
No you're not selfish
No, no, no
You're not selfish at all, not at all
The way you hold me, the way you squize me
You're not selfish at all
No not at all
The way you hold me
You're not selfish at all

Didn't know 'till today
That you would love for me to say
All of the things I feel
Though you don't doubt they're real
Insecure, very shy
Are the only reasons I have why
I never say the things that
You would love to hear
All the words I try
Disappoint me and I cry
So they're words I don't often say
But it's in my love, it's in my feeling
It's in the very same heart
That loved you from the start
It's in my heat, it's in the spirit
And it's got me totally high
It's just hard me to say why
Kind of sad, kind of blue
Because I wanted to tell you
That you are in my heart
Though we are far apart
Didn't know how to say
All the little things to make you stay
And not to keep assuming
You could read my mind
You're the one I love
Though it's hard for you to know
'Cause the words I don't always say
But it's in my love, it's in my feeling
It's in the very same heart
That loved you from the start
It's in the heat, it's in the spirit
And it's got me totally high
It's just hard me to say why
It's hard for me
(Scher/Golden)
When you look into my eyes
Tell me what you see
You're the object of my desire
My secret fantasy
I see the fire, I feel the flame
It gets me everytime you look my way
You know how it makes me feel inside
Come get me with your eyes
Dirty looks
You're giving them to me again
Dirty looks
I want you to
Just keep them coming
Dirty looks
I love it when you look at me like that, boy
Dirty
Every move you make boy
I'll be watching you
Can't wait 'till we're alone
'Cause you're love's so good
I see the fire, I feel the flame
It gets me everytime you look my way
You know how it makes me feel inside
Come get me with your eyes
Dirty looks
You're giving them to me again
Dirty looks
I want you to
Just keep them coming
You're so dirty
I see the fire, I feel the flame
It gets me everytime you look my way
You know how it makes me feel inside
Undress me with your eyes
Dirty looks
You're giving them to me again
Dirty looks
I want you to
Just keep them coming
(Erich Bulling)
The first noël, the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
In a cold winter's night that was so deep
Noël, noël, noël, noël
Born is the King of Israël
And they offered there with deep reverence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense
And there they all sang with one accord
Their glorious praises to out Heavenly Lord
Noël, noël, noël, noël
Born is the King of Israël
And by the light of a shining star
Three wise men came from country far
And the wise men three then stopped and stayed
At the holy place where the sweet Jesus lay
Noël, noël, noël, noël
Born is the King of Israël
(Leroy Anderson/Mitchell Parish)
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way...
In a one horse open sleigh
Just hear those sleigh bells jinglin'
Ring-ting-tinglin', too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling
And friend are calling ";Yoo hoo!";
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up
Let's go
Let's look at the show
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up
It's grand
Just holding your hand
We're gliding along with a song of a wintery fairyland
Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy-cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
Like birds of a feather would be
Let's take the road before us and sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather for a...
Lovely weather for a...
Lovely weather for a...
Lovely weather for a sleigh ride
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way...
In a one horse open sleigh
Dashing through the snow...
In a one horse open sleigh
Lovely weather for a sleigh ride
Lovely weather
Dashing through the snow
(Phillips Brooks)
O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and reamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
For Christ was born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wond'ring love
O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
And peace to men on earth
O holy Child of Bethlehem
Descend to us, we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born in us today
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide in us
Our lord , precious Lord, Emmanuel!
Precious Lord
(Wintley Phipps)
It's christmas time
And you will find His love is everywhere
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
The star shone all around
Jesus came to earth
Born of Mary
Prince of Peace, Emmanuel
I love to tell the story
And now the King born in a manger is Lord of my heart
Now the King born in a manger is Lord of my soul
It's christmas time
And you will find His love is everywhere
The wise men came to see His face
And glory shone around
Jesus came to earth
Born of Mary
Prince of Peace, Emmanuel
I love to tell His story
And now the King born in a manger is Lord of my heart
Now the King born in a manger is Lord of my heart
Oh yes, the king born in a manger
Is Lord of my heart
Now the King born in a manger
Is Lord of my soul
It's Christmas time
(Henrey Wadsworth)
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old familiar carols play
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men
I thought how, as the day had come
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along the unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep
";God is not dead nor doth He sleep
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
With peace on earth, good will to men";
I heard a voice within me say
";Do not despair this holy day
On christmas morn new hope is born
For peace on earth, good will to men";
Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
Our Jesus Christ is born
When I was just a learner
I sought by night and day
To have the Good Lord help me
To guide me on my way
For I am like a shepherd
My hopes and faith to guard
Each day I find the answer
And Love is my reward
Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
Our Jesus Christ is born
The shepherds kept their watching
O'er silent flocks by night
When lo! throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light
The shepherds feared and trembled
When high above the earth
Rang out an angels' chorus
To hail our Savior's birth
Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
Our Jesus Christ is born
Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
Our Jesus Christ is born
Our Jesus, Jesus Christ is born
That Jesus Christ is born
Go and tell, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ, Christ is born
(George Gershwin/Ira Gershwin/Dubose Heyward)
I loves ya Porgy
Don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me
And drive me mad
If you can keep me
Porgy, I wanna stay here
With you forever
I got my man
Someday, I know
He's comin' back to call me
He's going to handle me and hold me
It's gonna be like dyin', Porgy
But when he calls me
I'll have to go
I loves ya Porgy
Don't let him handle me
With his hot hands
If you can keep me
I wanna stay here
With you forever
And ever, ever and ever
Ever and ever
Porgy, I got my man
(Jule Styne/Bob Merrill)
Don't tell me not to fly
I've simply got to
If someone takes a spill
It's me and not you
Don't bring around the cloud to rain on my parade
Don't tell me not to leave
Just sit and putter
Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter
Who told you you're allowed to rain on my parade
I'll march my band out
I'll beat my drum
And if I'm fanned out
Your turn at bat, sir
At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir
I guess I didn't make it
But whether I'm the rose of sheer perfection
A freckle on the nose of life's complexion
A Cinderella or a shine apple of an eye
I gotta fly once
I gotta try once
Only can die once, right, sir?
Ooh, life is juicy
Juicy and you see
I gotta have my bite, sir
Get ready for me love
'Cause I'm a ";comer";
I simply gotta march
My heart's a drummer
Don't bring around the cloud to rain on my parade
Yes, sir
No, sir
I'm gonna live and live now
Get what I want, I know how
All that the law will allow
One roll for the whole shebang
One throw that bell will go clang
Though I'm alone I'm a gang
Eye on the target and wham
One shot, one gun shot and bam
Hey, world, here I am...
Get ready for me life, 'cause I'm a ";comer";
I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer
Nobody, no, nobody, is gonna rain on my parade!
(Malvina Reynolds/Allan Greene/Harry Belafonte)
Where are you going my little one, little one
Where are you going my baby my own
Turn around and you're two
Turn around and you're four
Turn around and you're a young girl
Going out of the door
Turn around
Turn around
Turn around and you're a young girl
Going out of the door
Where are you going my little one, little one
Little dirndls and petticoats, where are you know
Turn around and you're tiny
Turn around and you're grown
Turn around and you're a young wife
With babes of your own
Turn around
Turn around
Turn around and you're a young wife
With babes of your own
Turn around
Turn around
Turn around and you're a young wife
Turn around and you're a young wife
With babes of your own
(Joe Raposo)
One day, as I was walking through my garden, I saw a little frog lying on the ground. And I thought he was sick. So I picked him up and he wasn't sick at all. He was very sad, and he was crying. And I said: What's a matter with you, little frog? And he looked up at me with a lump in his throat, and he said: wribbit!
It ain't easy being green
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves
When I think, I think it would be nicer being red
Or yellow or gold
You see, it ain't easy being green
It seems to blend in with so many other ordinary things
And then, sometimes, sometimes people pass over you
Because you're not standing out like sparkles on the water
Or like the stars in the sky
But did you know that green is the color of Spring
And green can be big like an ocean
And important like a mountain
And cool and friendly-like
Or tall and skinny like a tree
And me
But when green is all there is to be
It kind of makes you wonder why
Why wonder, wonder why?
Hey, I'm green and I think it'll do fine
'Cause green is just what I wanna be
'Cause green is beautiful, baby
Right on green
And anyway, money's green
Wribbit
(Bob Gaudio/Al Ruzicka/Kathy Wakefield)
Remember me
A face you used to see
Not the same song that I used to be
I had their words passing through me
But I just can't find the rhymes
I've been every place but right so many times
When will I come home to you
Whenever you want me to
It's a cold and lonely world
When you're not loving me
Your world is my only one
I'm back where I started from
There's no place that I would rather be
Remember me
The girl who thought that she
Could get lost in unreality
I've been around up and down
I've never missed a single rhyme
I've been everything there is but satisfied
When will I come home to you
Whenever you want me to
It's a cold and lonely world
When you're not loving me
Your world is my only one
I'm back where I started from
There's no place that I would rather be
When will I come home to you
Whenever you want me to
It's a cold and lonely world
When you're not loving me
Your world is my only one
I'm back where I started from
There's no place that I would rather be
When will I come home to you
Whenever you want me to
It's a cold and lonely world
When you're not loving me
Your world is my only one
I'm back where I started from
(Tom Baird/Nick Zesses/Dino Fekaris)
Love me
Love me the way that you love me
The way that you do when you're dreaming of me
Love me the way that you love me
Give me the pleasure that makes me love you too
Hey, the touch of your hands
Awakens feelings deep inside me
You know
The warmth of your breath
Is like a soft wind sent to guide me
All those sweet sensations
Let me feel them now
Love me the way that you love me
The way that you do when you're dreaming of me
Love me the way that you love me
Give me the pleasure that makes me love you too
Oh, we're starting together
I feel your love is flowing through me
You know
Whatever you're doing
I love the way
You do it to me
All those sweet sensations
Let me feel them now
Ooh,
Love me the way that you love me
The way that you do when you're dreaming of me
Love me the way that you love me
Give me the pleasure that makes me love you too
Ooh,
I see the love on your face is glowing
I feel your lovin' inside me growin'
I know exactly just where you're goin'
Let me come with you
Love me the way that you love me
The way that you do when you're dreaming of me
Love me the way that you love me
Give me the pleasure that makes me love you too
Love me the way that you love me
The way that you do when you're dreaming of me
Love me the way that you love me
Give me the pleasure that makes me love you too
(Kenny O'Dell)
My baby makes me proud
Lord, don't he make me proud
He never makes a scene
By hangin' all over me in a crowd
'Cause people like to talk
Lord, don't they like to talk
But when they turn out the lights
I know he'll be leavin' with me
And when we get behind closed doors
Then I let my hair hang down
He makes me glad that I'm a woman
Oh, no one knows what goes on behind closed doors
My baby makes me smile
Lord, don't he make me smile
He's never far away
Or too tired to say I want you
And I'm always a lady
Just like a lady should be
But when they turn out the lights
He's still my baby to me
And when we get behind closed doors
Then I let my hair hang down
Oh, he makes me glad I'm a woman
Oh, no one knows what goes on behind closed doors
oh, behind closed doors
I let my hair hang down
I'm glad that I'm a woman
No one knows what goes on behind closed doors
Behind closed doors
I let my hair hang down
He makes me glad I'm a woman
No one knows what goes on behind closed doors
And when we get behind closed doors
Then I let my hair hang down
(H. Woods)
Ooh, what a little moonlight can do
Ooh, what a little moonlight can do to you
You're in love
Your hearts a flutter
And all day long you only shutter
'Cause your poor tongue
Just won't utter the words ";I love you";
Ooh, what a little moonlight can do
Wait a while
'Till the little moonbeams comes peeking through
You get bold
You can't resist him
All you say
When you kissed him is
Ooh, what a little moonlight can do
(G. Gershwin/I. Gershwin)
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
Then in a little while
He'll take my hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both won't say a word
Maybe he'll come sunday
Maybe monday, maybe not
Still I'm sure he'll come one day
Maybe tuesday will be
My good news day
We'll built a little home
Just meant for two
From which I'll never roam
Oh, what would you
And so all else above
I'm dreaming of the man I love
(R. Turk/F. Ahlert)
You're mean to me
Why must you be mean to me
Gee, honey it seems to me
You love to see me crying
I don't know why I stay home
Each night when you left all alone
Singing the blues and crying
You treat me coldly
Each day in the year
You always scold me
Whenever you're...
Mean to...
(J. Davis/J. Sherman/R. Ramirez)
I don't know why
But I'm feeling so sad
I long to try
Something I 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'll give my soul
Just to call you my own
Hugging and kissing
Ooh, what we've been missing
Lover man oh, where can you be
I've heard it say
That the thrill of romance
Can be like a heavenly dream
I go to bed
With the prayer
That you'll make 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 ears
Hugging and kissing
Ooh, what we've been missing
Lover man oh, where can you be
I've heard it say
That the thrill of romance
Can be like a heavenly dream
I go to bed
With the prayer
That you'll make 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 ears
Hugging and kissing
Ooh, what we've been missing
Lover man oh, where can you be
(G. Gershwin/I. Gershwin)
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
Our love is here to stay
(I. Higgenbotham/E. Drake/D. Fisher)
Goodmorning heartache
You all gloomy sight
Goodmorning heartache
Thought we said goodbye last night
I tossed and turned
Until it seemed you had gone
But here you are with the dawn
Wish I'd forget you
But you're here to stay
It seems I met you
When my love went away
Now every day I start by
Saying to you
Goodmorning heartache, what's new?
Stop haunting me now
Can't shake you no how
Just leave me alone
I've got those monday blues
Straight through sunday blues
Goodmorning heartache
Here we go again
Goodmorning heartache
You're the one who knew me well
Might as well get used to you
Hangin' around
Goodmorning heartache
Sit down
(B. Holiday/A. Herzog, Jr.)
Them that's god shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the bible says
And it still is news
Momma may have
Poppa may have
But God bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own
Yeah, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't
Ever make the grade
Momma may have
Poppa may have
But God bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own
Money, you've got lots of friends
Crowdin' round the door
When it's gone and
Spendin' ends
They don't come no more
Rich realations give
A crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don't take too much
Momma may have
Poppa may have
But God bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own
(B. Holiday)
My man don't love me
Treats me oh so mean
My man, he don't love me
Treats me awful mean
He's the lowest man
That I've ever seen
He wears high-draped pants
Stripes are really yellow
He wears high-draped pants
Stripes are really yellow
But when he starts in to love me
He's so fine and mellow
Love will make you drink and gamble
Make you stay out all night long
Love will make you drink and gamble
Make you stay out all night long
Love will make you do things that you know is wrong
But if you treat me right daddy
I'll stay home every day
If you treat me right daddy
I'll stay home every day
But you're so mean to me, baby
I know you're gonna drive me away
Love is just like a faucet
It turns off and on
Love is just like a faucet
It turns off and on
Some times when you think it's on baby
It has turned off and gone
(G. Simons/G. Marks)
All of me
Why not take all of me
Can't you see
I'm no good without you
Take my lips
I want to loose them
Take my arms
I'll never use them
Your goodbye
Left me with eyes that cry
How can I go on, dear, without you
You took the part
That once was my heart
So why not take all of me
Your goodbye
Left me with eyes that cry
How can I go on, dear, without you
You took the part
That once was my heart
So why not take all of me
(David Friedman)
Sometimes when I'm sitting all alone
I think of things that I have done
And start to wonder if there's one thing
That means more than others I have known
And suddenly it's clear to me
Without your love where would I be
Your love has kept me going
Through good and bad times
It's kept me growing
Like a steady flame
Your love has kept on burning
Through sweet and sad times
I'll keep returning to the magic of your love
Through the years my dreams may come and go
For fortune is a fleeting time
And no one knows what time may bring
But through the highs and lows of it I'll know
That there's one thing of which I'm sure
The one thing I've been living for
Your love has kept me going
Through good and bad times
It's kept me growing
Like a steady flame
Your love has kept on burning
Through sweet and sad times
I'll keep returning to the magic of your love
Your love has kept me going
Through good and bad times
It's kept me growing
Like a steady flame
Your love has kept on burning
Through sweet and sad times
I'll keep returning to the magic of your love
I'll keep returning to the magic of your love
Your love
(Diana Ross/Bill Wray/Jim Wray)
Where did we go wrong
Don't know what to do
How to make things better
Can't stop loving you
You look like I'm invisible
Don't want me you say
Baby I love you
Stop pushing me away
Hold me, move me
Help me go through it
Hold me, oh baby, you can make me do it
I need you here
Close to me tonight
Not asking for forever
Baby just one more time
Dancing in the mirror
Feeling so blue
Don't matter who's right or wrong
All I want is you
Got me acting crazy
Playing the fool
But I would do anything
If I could still have you
How can I live without you
I've been loving you so long
You are my weakness
You keep me hangin' on
I need your arms to hold me
I'm afraid to be alone
Where am I
This empty house is not a home
Hold me, move me
Help me go through it
Hold me, oh baby
Only you can do it
I need you here close to me tonight
I'm not asking for forever
Baby just one more time
You act like I'm invisible
You don't want me you say
Baby I love you, stop pushing me away
I need someone to hold me
Afraid to be alone
Where am I
This empty house is not a home
Down on my knees
Beggin' baby please
I love you
Where did we go wrong
(R. Miller/T. Baird)
Where did we go wrong
I thought that we were supposed to make it
Where did we go wrong
How could life give us love, then take it away
Alone again today
Remembering when
We were a brand new morning
We weren't afraid to feel
All that we asked was somewhere to hide
We were like happy children
Reaching out to touch everything that's real
We believed in love 'cause our lives were touching inside
And baby, remember the things we needed
The summers and the winters and springs we needed
The feeling we would fly and on wings we needed to share
Remember the people how few we needed
We always had the me and the you we needed
If every little thing that we knew we needed to care was there
Then where did we go wrong
And isn't time supposed to heal me?
Where did we go wrong
And can a part of you still feel me
As much as yesterday
A touch a world away
We were the time of Crystal
Shining for love to see
Both of us gave the things we receive
We were like hungry people
As I gave to you so you gave to me
Believing in our love 'cause we love the things we believe
Baby, remember the dreams we needed
The nights we couldn't sleep and these dreams we needed
So we could find the time for what it seems we needed to say
Remember the touches to show we needed
To keep our love and keep our love the glow we needed
And being here without you I know we needed to stay
That way
But where did we go wrong
I thought that we were supposed to make it
Where did we go wrong
How could life give us love, then take it away
Where did we go wrong
I thought that we were supposed to make it
Where did we go wrong
Where did we go wrong
Where did we go wrong
Where did we go wrong
(Stevie Wonder)
Since the beginning of all life's beginnings
Right at the very dawning of the sun
Any and everyone had cause and reason
For in good all good is done
Now down in every heart there are two forces
One is for the wrong, one's for the right
But never do you have to fear with this as armor
For good always wins the fight
What's that force behind the power that wakes you each day
What's that force behind the power that chases eavil away
What's that force behind the power that puts a smile on your face
It is love, pure love, it is love
In every book of truth it has been written
That we are measured by the things we do
If for the good of all is what you like doing
Then all that good will come to you
That doesn't mean you have to be a rich man
You could be a person living on the street
But if you give but only words to lift someone higher
Then a heart of gold is what you will be
What's that force behind the power that wakes you each day
What's that force behind the power that chases eavil away
What's that force behind the power that puts a smile on your face
It is love, pure love, it is love
What's that force behind the power that makes you willing to share
What's that force behind the power that for a lost soul you're there
What's that force behind the power that's not to busy to care
It is love, pure love, it is love
Not trying to preach about it, but no one can do without it
What's that force behind the power that will lend a hand
What's that force behind the power when others can't yes you can
What's that force behind the power it's greater than any man
It is love, God's love, it is love
What's that force behind the power that tears walls down of hate
What's that force behind the power that is never too late
What's that force behind the power that forever will wait
It is love, God's love, it is love
(Diana Ross/Bill Wray/Jim Wray)
Every day's a new beginning
That's what I stand for
Since our possibilities
In a world out of control
You're looking for a miracle
To spray the air feel the rain
Since you're out of control
Married to pain
Which way forever
Which way will I go
Which way forever
There's no heroes
Take me back, take me out
Back to the future
Back to the future
Change your thinking
Change your mind
Back to the future
Close your eyes and pretend
That you're a bird in the sky
Turn your face to the wind
I know you can learn to fly
Which way forever
Which way will I go
Which way forever
There's no heroes
Take me back, take me out
Back to the future
Back to the future
Change your thinking
Change your mind
Back to the future
Back to the future
Take me back, take me out
Back to the future
Back to the future
Change your thinking
Change your mind
Back to the future
Back to the future
Believe you can be
Believe that you can
You can make a stay
We can change the world
I know we can
You gotta take me back, take me out
Back to the future
Back to the future
Change your thinking
Change your mind
Back to the future
Back to the future
Take me back, take me out
Back to the future
Back to the future
Change your thinking
Change your mind
Back to the future
Back to the future
(John Lennon/Paul McCartney)
The long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I've seen that road before
It always leads me here
Lead me to your door
The wild and windy night
That the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears
Crying for the day
Why leave me standing here
Let me know the way
Many times I've been alone
And many times I've cried
Many ways you'll never know
Many ways I've tried
Still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me standing here
A long long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door
But still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me standing here
A long long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door
(Mel Larson/Jerry Marcellino/Hal Davis)
This is my place
And I wanna share it with you
I got myself a place to dream
I touch the wind
Caress the sea
And I want you there
To hold me
To love me there is to know me
Where the silver bird of tomorrow
Will fly away with the sorrow
And time won't pass for you and I
We'll be standing still
As the world goes by
This is my place
And I wanna share it with you
I've got the sky to shelter me
And like the tide I'm moving free
I've waited here for you only
We will walk along
Never lonely
This is my retreat, we're together
And my place is now even better
My life's reflected on the sand
And it shows my love
When I touch your hand
This is my place
And I wanna share it with you
I wanna share, I wanna share it with you
This is my place
And you know wherever your place is
Loving only makes it better
And I want you there to hold me
To love me there is to know me
Where the silver bird of tomorrow
Will fly away with the sorrow
And time won't pass for you and I
We'll be standing still
As the world goes round
This is my place
This is my place
This is my place
(Aretha Franklin)
I love you, I love you
I love you too
Baby will you call me
The moment you get there
I love you, I love you
And I love you too
Baby will you call me
The moment you get there
My tears, my dearest of all, darling
I know, I know, I know
I know we've got to part
Baby, baby, baby, it really doesn't hurt me that bad
Because you're taking me with you and
I'm keeping you right here in my arms
It's all because I love you
Call me, call me the hour
Call me the minute, the second you get there
(David van DePitte/Deke Richards/Sandra Sanders)
If you really think I'm fine
Then why don't you just take the time
And call me
Baby, hurry, come see me
Friends all say you speak my name
Well, let me say
I feel the same about you
Can't do without you
How about you?
Hey! Baby, what's wrong?
You look so surprised
I can tell by the look in your eyes
That you need me
And I need you too
Hey, baby what's wrong
You know you need me
And I need you too
How about you?
I know all the words
That I wanna say
But if I do will you walk away
And leave me here
By myself with my tears
Baby I still have my pride
Eventhough it's not enough to hide
My love for you
Baby, I love you
How about you?
Baby, how about you
Do you need me too
Baby, how about you
Do you need me too
Baby, how about you
(Margaret Gordy)
Love of my life
Love of my life
And everything is right
And everything is groovy
The boy moves me
Sets my soul on fire
Sweet love of mine
Sweet love of mine
Sweet love of mine
And everything is fine
And everything is groovy
The boy moves me
Keeps me satisfied
Don't you know that this love
You've given me is still in me
It's one thing I couldn't sacrifice
You're my joy, you're my pleasure
But most of all darling
You're my treasure
Everything is everything
Everything is everything
'Cause you're mine
Love of my life
Love of my life
Love of my life
And everything is right
This love I feel has got to be real
I'm as happy as can be
Don't you know everything is groovy
Everything is so fine
And everything is everything
'Cause you're mine
You're mine
You're mine
Everything is groovy
Everything is so fine
And everything is everything
'Cause you're mine
You're mine
You're mine
And everything is everything
Everything is groovy
And everything is so fine
And everything is everything
'Cause you're mine
You're mine
You're mine
(Deke Richards)
Go with what I've sent you...Someone to love
Heaven must have sent you to me
And I'm not gonna let you go back
I'm gonna love you till the stars don't shine
And angels start dressing in black
I wanna shout ";Hallelujah";
Oh, heart I've finally fooled ya
Somebody strike up the band

The day you started giving your love to me
And now music feels my soul
It sounds just like a rock 'n' roll symphony
Listen to the music in my soul
Ahhhh...
I see words inside your eyes
They beg me not to leave
Could it be we might have passed
On the same road to loneliness
Let us put bad memories
Of our past up on the shelf
(And leave it there forever)
And give ourselves a second chance
To enjoy love's priceless wealth
Don't it make you wanna shout ";Hallelujah";
When you're feeling love go through ya
Somebody strike up the band
Here it comes again
Doobedood'ndoo doobedood'ndoobe doobedood'ndoo
Oh, doobedood'ndoobe doobedood'ndoobe doobedood'ndoo

I should run away boy
But I'm satisfied
It's your way of loving
That's filling my desires
Baby when you're gone
I wonder why you turn me on
Ooh, you must be the only man for me
'Cause you're the only one I see
It's love, ooh baby it's love
Baby it's love makes me weep for you
I love your affection
Take me in the right direction
For the rest of my life
I'm a slave for your love
Just like mama said
I should be without you
But losing you I'm dead
Your love is so tough
I swear I just can't get enough
Speaking to you with all sincerity
You don't know what you do to me
It's love, ooh baby it's love
Baby it's love makes me weep for you
I love your affection
Take me in the right direction
For the rest of my life
Thanks a lot for your affection
Always wanting your protection
For the rest of my life
It's love, ooh baby it's love
Baby it's love makes me weep for you
Thanks a lot for your affection
Always wanting your protection
For the rest of my life
Baby, for the rest of my life
Baby, baby, baby, baby
For the rest of my life
Baby, always wanting your protection
(Chico Ross/Hal Davis/'The Bear')
Baby, the love we used to share
Has faded day by day
And now you wanna leave me
So you're lookin' for away
And if you see a tear in my eye
It's not for you I cry
Don't you know I tried to make our love
Like every love should be
You say it ain't enough
So you're walking out on me
But if you can't find just what you want
Don't you come runnin' back to me
Baby, I know you think I'm at home
Cryin' the blues
But remember darlin'
Somebody else will want what you couldn't use
Oh, yeah, what you couldn't use
Ain't no sad song
Since you've been gone
Ain't no sad song
Since you've been gone
You made me so very, very happy boy
But if you don't wanna be mine
Hey, when will I stop lovin' you
Oh baby, I don't know, I don't know
All my friends give me advice
They say hang on, girl
Ooh, but I want him
Hang on girl
I don't need him
The clock didn't stop ticking
'Cause you let me be
Time will let nobody
Take your love from me
You made me so very, very happy boy
But if you don't wanna be mine
I know you wanna be
With someone for yourself
But I know you don't want me
To be with no one else
Ain't no sad song
Since you've been gone
Ain't no sad song
Since you've been gone
Ain't no sad song
Since you've been gone
(Burt Bacharach/Hal David)
Why do birds suddenly appear
Everytime you are near ?
Just like me,
They long to be close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Everytime you walk by
Just like me,
They long to be close to you
From the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair
Of gold, and starlight in your eyes of blue
Ah, that is why the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me,
They long to be close to you
Just like me,
They long to be close to you
Just like me,
They long to be close to you
From the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair
Of gold, and starlight in your eyes of blue
Ah, that is why the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me,
They long to be close to you
Like me, like me, like me
I wanna be close to you
Woo, Ah, close to you
Woo, me too
I wanna be close to you
Ooh, I wanna be, me too
I wanna be close to you
From the day that you were born
The angels got together
A dream come true
That's you, that's you
And I wanna be close to you
(Denise Rich/Gen Rubin)
Who would have ever thought
The day could ever come
When we would see
A love like this fall into pieces
And it hurts me to know that now 'til then
I'll only have these memories
And now there's no time left to pretend
And it feels like it's the end
But you're always in my heart
Until we meet again
Now I have to let you go
There's no way we can be friends
But you're always part of me
Until we meet again
Why while our love was strong
We still couldn't make it
Did time have to take our live in different directions
And it hurts cause there's no way for me to reach you
We're so far apart
When did we grow so far apart
And now there's no time left to pretend
And it feels like it's the end
But you're always in my heart
Until we meet again
Now I have to let you go
There's no way we can be friends
But you're always part of me
Until we meet again
Deep in my heart I know
I'll see you again well I don't know
Where or when.. but till then
And now there's no time left to pretend
And it feels like it's the end
But you're always in my heart
Until we meet again
Now I have to let you go
There's no way we can be friends
But you're always part of me
Until we meet again
And now there's no time left to pretend
And it feels like it's the end
But you're always in my heart
Until we meet again
Now I have to let you go
There's no way we can be friends
But you're always part of me
Until we meet again
And now there's no time left to pretend
And it feels like it's the end
But you're always in my heart
Until we meet again
(Chuckii Booker/Tami Booker)
Here I am
I'm confident and I've gone on with my life
Ever since that day you said goodbye
But it's evident to me that you're hurting inside
You sound alone
And more bitter as each minute goes by
And you never were that way when I was in your life
Have the sweeter things all been left behind
Oh baby without my love
You'll always be sugar free
And you'll miss me
Oh baby, I'm the sweetest taste
That you could ever receive
My baby, yeah
I can't believe that you thought a substitute would set you free
But instead it locked you down without a key
And you're thinking about how it used to be
There is a lesson to be learned
You hurt me baby
Now the tables have turned
Oh baby without my love
You'll always be sugar free
Baby, baby sugar free
Oh baby, I'm the sweetest taste
That you could ever receive
You miss me
Oh baby without my love
You'll always be sugar free
Sugar free, baby
Oh baby, I'm the sweetest taste
That you could ever receive
Ever receive
I know you miss my loving
It's as plain as I can see
You can't deny it baby
Without my love you're sugar free
I know you miss my loving
It's as plain as I can see
You can't deny it baby
Without my love you're sugar free
Oh baby without my love
You'll always be sugar free
Sugar free, sugar free
Oh baby, I'm the sweetest taste
That you could ever receive
(Diane Warren/Eric Carmen)
You used to touch me
Baby now your touch has turned so cold
You used to want me
Now baby, you just want to let me go
I can see I'm losing you now
And I don't wanna
No I don't wanna be just
Someone that you loved before
Baby please don't let me be
Someone you don't love no more
Tell me we can make it right
Cause I'll do anything
To hold you in my arms
And then hear you say
You're back in love with me again
Is it over, baby are we over now for good
I know you're going if I can make you stay
You know I would
If I could just get through to you now
Cause I don't wanna
No I don't wanna be just
Someone that you loved before
Baby please don't let me be
Someone you don't love no more
Tell me we can make it right
I'd do anything
To hold you in my arms
And then hear you say
You're back in love with me again
Baby can't we give it one more try
Cause I don't wanna be the one you leave behind
Baby I don't wanna be
Baby tell me I can be
Someone you could love once more
Tell me we can make it right
Cause I'd do anything
To hold you in my arms and then
Hear you say
You're back in love with me again
Baby tell me I can be
Someone you could love once more
Tell me we can make it right
Cause I'll do anything
To hold you in my arms
And then hear you say
You're back in love with me again
Baby, you love me again
(Malik Pendelton)
When I think about all the love and fun that we used to have
There's no doubt that I do miss your touch
And all the good times and the bad
But I, I realize that we were not meant to be
So I'll set you free 'cause what they say doesn't apply to you and me
Some good things did come to an end
If you're ever down and out of need
I will be right here always, you have a friend in me
So call on me, even though we're apart
Even though we're apart
You'll always have a special place in my heart
You'll always have a special place in my heart
So they say
If it's right, it'll come back your way
I cannot lie, not this time
You've got yours and I'll get mine
People used to say one day you were gonna away
And break my heart in two
But it's all in the game of love
Sometimes you win or lose
Do what you gotta do
Can't say I regret that things that I got and didn't get
I knew all alone
Inside I saw all the signs yet and still I
Went along for the ride
Some good things do come to an end
If you're ever down and out of need
I will be right here, always you have a friend in me
So call on me, even though we're apart
Even though we're apart
You'll always have a special place in my heart
You'll always have a special place in my heart
So they say
If it's right, it'll come back your way
I cannot lie, not this time
You've got yours and I'll get mine
So they say
If it's right, it'll come back your way
I cannot lie, not this time
You've got yours and I'll get mine
They say, so they say, so they say
If it's right, it'll come back your way
I cannot lie, not this time
You've got yours and I'll get mine
(Christopher Ward/Tim Tickner/Diana Ross)
Are we not more than hunger and music
Are we not more than harlequins and horns
Are we not more than color and drums
Are we not more than anger and dance
Give me courage so I can spread it over my face and mouth
Give me courage, give me courage
Give me courage, give me courage
I walk these city streets see the people there
Look into the eyes of quiet despair
And the faces tell a story that words never can
And it falls to everyone of us to try and understand
Out of kindness
One act of grace makes the world we walk a better place
Hope is an open window
Love an open door
To reach out for each other
Is what we came here for
Through an open window
We can see the way
If we hold on to each other, every day
We build walls of suspicion with bars of fears
Tell ourselves we'll be safe in here
I know more brings us together
Than keeps up apart
First we got to tear down these walls within our hearts
We might be strangers, we can be friends
You and I we both need to let somebody in
Hope is an open window
Love an open door
To reach out for each other
Is what we came here for
Through an open window
We can see the way
If we hold on to each other, every day
Give me courage so I can spread over my face and mouth
We are secret rivers with shaking hips and crests
Come awake in our thunder so that our eyes can see behind trees
Give me courage so I can spread over my face and mouth
Give me courage, give me courage
Give me courage, give me courage
Hope is an open window
Love's an open door
To reach out for each other
Is what we came here for
Through an open window
We can see the way
If we hold on to each other, every day
Hope is an open window
Love an open door
Gotta be there for each other
Is what we sent here for
Through an open window
We can find a way
To love one another
Hope is an open window
Love an open door
(Malik Pendelton/Nicole Johnson)
I've got to be free
Gotta be, gotta be free
I've got to be free
Gotta be, gotta be free
Long goodbyes, stolen glances
Can't explain all that's happened in our past
I'm tired of creating lies to be alone
I'm living wrong, we're living wrong
More and more you make me
Afraid to come around
You take the pleasure out of being in love
And being down and down and down and down and down
For the one who's there for me
All I really want to be is free, yeah
I've got to be free, got to be free
Gotta be, gotta be free
I've got to be free, got to be free
Gotta be, gotta be free
You don't know why, haven't got a clue
In the dark about why I am leaving you
You can't expect me to go on this way
No, I cannot stay, I will not stay
More and more you make me
Realize what I have home
What's taboos exciting
But sometimes it just gets old
Sometimes it just gets old
For as long as I am me, boy
All I really want to be is free
I've got to be free, got to be free
Gotta be, gotta be free
I've got to be free, got to be free
Gotta be, gotta be free
I've got to be free, got to be free
Gotta be, gotta be free
I've got to be free, got to be free
Gotta be, gotta be free
I've got to be free, got to be free
Gotta be, gotta be free
I've got to be free, got to be free
Gotta be, gotta be free
Chill in the bones, chill in the air
Do you think that I haven't been around?
Boy I wasn't born yesterday, yesterday
Coming home late at night, flowers on the doorstep
Trying to make it right
Boy you gotta be high's what I got to say
I got to say, I've done all I can
I've given you every chance to prove you are my man
But now there's nothing left to lose
I'm free, like the wind
Independent once again
Yeah, I'm gone, I gotta be moving on
Free, watch me fly
Lift your hands and wave bye bye
'Cause I'm gone
I gotta be movin' on, movin' movin' movin' on
Movin' movin' movin' on, movin' movin' movin' on
I think I'll go do the mall, make a couple of calls
Gonna hang with the girls
Just to keep from crying on a shoulder
Ain't gonna turn back
Nothing you can say can change that feeling that you get
When you know that it's finally, finally over
I've made up my mind
Even though it hurts to leave your love behind
I've got nothing left to lose
I'm free, like the wind
Independent once again
Yeah, I'm gone, I gotta be moving on
Free, watch me fly
Lift your hands and wave bye bye
'Cause I'm gone
I gotta be movin' on, movin' movin' movin' on
Movin' movin' movin' on, movin' movin' movin' on
I'm gone
Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do
Even if your heart is trying to tell you to
Stay a little bit longer, trell you to
Try a little bit harder, baby I know
I can't live another day, sleep another night
Waiting for you to change into something I
Wish you could have been
It's not what I'm into now
I've done all I can
Given you every chance to prove
You are my man
But now there's nothing left to lose
I'm free, like the wind
Independent once again
Yeah, I'm gone, I gotta be moving on
Free, watch me fly
Lift your hands and wave bye bye
'Cause I'm gone
I gotta be moving on
Free from your spell
Taking care of me myself
Yeah, I'm gone
I gotta be moving on
I'm free, like the wind
Independent once again
I'm gone, moving on
Free, watch me fly
Lift your hands and wave bye bye
Moving on
Free from your spell
Taking care of me myself
Moving on, I'm gone
Free from your spell, independent
I'm gone
(Malik Pendelton/Juanita Wynn/Tracey Anderson)
Every day is a new day
Since you went away
Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day and I see
It was best for you and me
Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day
Since you went away from me
You were my comfort zone
I depended on you for everything
I wanted in my life, yes I did
But now that you're gone
I'm doing just fine without you
How I bless the day you went away
Now I have a song inside
The birds sing to me
I finally can be
Free to spread my wings in harmony
Now the sun shines on me
I have been set free
To collect my thoughts and jot them down
All this happiness I've found
Since you've been away
Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day and I see
It was best for you and me
Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day
Since you went away from me
It may sound crazy, but I forgive you
And want the best for you
The circumstances came my way
Now I've learned to do for myself
And all the things I thought
That you would do for me
Like leaving me alone
To go for my own
When you're not at home
I'm glad you're gone
Now I have a song inside
The birds sing to me
I finally can be
Free to spread my wings in harmony
Now the sun shines on me
I have been set free
To collect my thoughts and jot them down
All this happiness I've found
Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day and I see
It was best for you and me
Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day
Since you went away from me
Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day and I see
It was best for you and me
How I bless that day
Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day
Since you went away from me
Every day
Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day and I see
It was best for you and me
Since you went away from me
My whole life has made a change
Every day's a new day
Since you went away from me
(Tim Tickner, Christopher Ward, Diana Ross)
Look in the mirror, who do you see
Where is the man that you used to be
When you turn off the world and turn down the lights
Do you ever wonder who you are tonight
I knew you then, I love you now
You can call me up when it gets you down
Behind the shades there's someone real
Behind your eyes I wonder how you feel
This is me talking to you
There's just one thing I'm asking you to do
You gotta drop the mask, be yourself
Drop the mask
Trust someone else
No one knows what you're going through
Whatever it is, I'll be there for you
If you drop the mask, be yourself
Drop the mask
Trust someone else
I was there when it all began
I still remember the boy within the man
I understand what it means to run and hide
There's so much that we're holding onto deep down inside
This is me talking to you
The only thing that I want you to do
You gotta drop the mask, be yourself
Drop the mask
Trust someone else
No one knows what you're going through
Whatever it is, I'll be there for you
When you drop the mask, be yourself
Drop the mask
Trust someone else
Drop the mask
Drop the mask
Let down your guard, open your heart
Unlose your chains, don't be afraid
Drop the mask
Be yourself
Be yourself
Trust someone else
You gotta drop the mask
Let down your guard, oh you gotta drop the mask
Trust someone else
You gotta drop the mask
(Eric Beall)
Carry on
When the valley's deep
I'll be strong
With a mighty love to
Carry on
Never sleep til' the new day dawns
There's a new breeze blowin' tonight
Clear away the past
Honey, free at last
Yes, I've paid for the choices I've made
No apologies from me
You know I'll never, no
Never lose my will
Never, never standin' still
I'll carry on
When the valley's deep I'll be strong
With a mighty love to carry on
Never sleep til' the new day dawns
I carry on
I stand alone in the eye of the storm
Pressures all around
Tryin' to wear me down
But it's all right
I won't give up the fight
I said, ";Lord, lift me up!";
Let me rise above
I'll never
Nobody's gonna take my pride
I won't stop
I will not be denied
Carry on
When the valley's deep I'll be strong
With a mighty love to carry on, carry on
I'll never sleep till the new day dawns
I carry on
I won't let, I won't let nothing hold me
No, no I won't let
Won't let nothing hold me back
I won't stop now
Carry on, I'll carry on
Yes, I'll carry
I'll carry on, yeah
Yes I'll carry
Carry on, I'm gonna carry on
Yes, I'll carry
Carry on
Don't carry on without me
I said I'll never
Nobody's gonna take my pride
I won't stop I will not be denied
Carry on
When the valley's deep
I'll be strong with the mighty love to
Carry on, carry on
I'll never sleep till the new day dawns
When the valley's deep
Just carry on
I'll carry on
When the mountain's too high
You gotta carry on
I'll carry on
With the mighty love
I'll never sleep
I'll carry on till the new day dawns
(R. Zito/A. Barrow/J. Esposito)
I can tell by the look in your eyes
That you like what you see
I can tell by the touch of your hand
That you've got what I need
Baby there's no hurry
We've got no worries
Let's take all night
Give me sweet lovin'
Come taste my honey
Into the light
Touch by touch
Your fingers do the talking
I need to hear so much
Touch by touch
Now you're getting closer
To what I want so much
I can tell by the woman in me
You're the man that I need
So much lovin' that comes from your heart
That you give tenderly
Come take my hand
I'll show you where
Where you can lean
Baby there's no hurry
We've got no worries
Make me believe
Touch by touch
Your fingers do the talking
I need to hear so much
Touch by touch
Chemical reaction
Makes me give it up
Touch by touch
And put your arms around me
Baby wrap me up
Touch by touch
Now you're gettin' closer
To what I want so much
(Patterson/Treadwell/Nelson)
There goes my baby
Moving on down the line
Wondering where, wondering where
He is bound
I broke his heart
And made him cry
Now I'm alone, so all alone
What can I do, what can I do
Just wanna know
Does he love me
Does he really love me
Or is he just playing
Me for a fool
I wonder why he left me
Why did he leave me so all alone
So all alone
I was gonna tell him that I loved him
And that I need him
Beside my side
To be my guide
I wanna know
Where is my baby
I want my baby
I need my baby
I was gonna tell him that I loved him
And that I need him
Beside my side
To be my guide
I wanna know where is my
Where is my baby
I need my baby
I need my baby
(Marvin Hamlisch/Ed Kleban)
Before the day is done
The sweetness and the sorrow
It's as if I always knew
And I won't forget what I did for love
What I did for love
Gone, love is never gone
As we travel on
Love's what we remember
Look, my eyes are dry
The gift is ours to borrow
I do what I had to do
Can't forget, don't regret
What I did for love
(D. Hall/S. Allen)
I was lying there
Lying on the beach
I dreamed you were there
Feel the heat
The sun and the waves
When you touch my hand
We were on a desert island
And I had a dream
I was swept away
You and I are on an island
Where I thought the storm would never end
I saw your light on the horizon
And I knew that I was blown away again
No it doesn't matter
Yeah, it doesn't matter
'Cause nothing lasts forever
'Cause nothing last forever
No it doesn't matter
No it doesn't matter
'Cause nothing lasts forever
Nothing last forever
I was swept away
I was swept away
I was swept away with you
I was swept away
I was swept away
I was swept away with you
The rise and fall is endless
The risk you run of being lost in blue
You caught my drift while I was restless
When the current flows
I'm gonna flow with you
No it doesn't matter
Yeah, it doesn't matter
'Cause nothing last forever
Nothing last forever
No it doesn't matter
No it doesn't matter
'Cause nothing last forever
Nothing last forever
I was swept away
I was swept away
I was swept away with you
I was swept away
I was swept away
I was swept away with you
For a day
Or maybe for a lifetime
Break away
Is he throwing me a lifeline
If I say
That this will be the last time
Swept away
Will it end with you?
I was swept away
Swept away
Swept away
No it won't, no it won't
No it doesn't matter
Nothing last forever
(Michael Jackson)
She said she wants a man
To always understand
But that's alright for her
Still it ain't enough for me
She said she wants a guy
To keep her satisfied
But that's alright for her
But it ain't enough for me
Still, I don't care if he's young or old
(Just make him beautiful)
I just want someone I can hold on to
I want muscles
All, all over his body
(Make him strong enough from his head down to his toes)
I want muscles
All, all over his body
(Make him strong enough from his head down to his toes)
They say they have to see
His real personality
But that's alright for them
Still it ain't enough for me
I need what the eyes can see, ah
(His anatomy)
If that's alright for them
Still it ain't enough for me
I don't care if he's young or old
Just make him beautiful
I just want some strong man to hold on to
I want muscles
All, all over his body
(Make him strong enough from his head down to his toes)
I want muscles
All over his body
(Make him strong enough from his head down to his toes)
Muscle man, I want to love you
In person, I want your body
Come with me, hiding the cascades
Let this be, we've got this thing made
Lost at sea, hide the desert
Stay with me, you won't regret it
Take this love, so deep to swim in
Come to me, and let the love in
She said she wants a man
To always understand
But that's alright for her
Still it ain't enough for me
I don't care if he's young or old
(Just make him beautiful)
I just want someone I can hold on to
I want muscles
All, all over his body
(Make him strong enough from his head down to his toes)
I want muscles
All over him, all over him
I want muscles
All, all over his body
I want muscles
I want all I can get
All over him, all over him
I want muscles, muscles, muscles
(Lionel Richie)
My love
There's only you in my life
The only thing that's right
My first love
You're every breath that I take
You're every step I make
And I
I want to share
All my love with you
No one else will do
And your eyes
They tell me how much you care
Oh, yes you will always be
My endless love
Two hearts
Two hearts that beat as one
Our lives had just begun
Forever
I'll hold you close in my arms
I can't resist your charms
And love
I'll be a fool for you
I'm sure
You know I don't mind
You know I don't mind
'Cause you
You mean the world to me
Oh, I know
I know I found in you
My endless love
Oh
And love
I'll be that fool for you
I'm sure
You know I don't mind
You know I don't mind
And yes
You'll be the only one
'Cause no one can't deny
This love I have inside
And I'll give it all to you
My love
My endless love...
(Hamish Steward/Sharon Robinson)
You're like a child within
The one who just won't give in
Oh how you love to play
I wanna understand
I wanna do all I can
I wanna make you stay
Where will I find you
Next time I lose you
I'm just a fool for your touch
Cross my heart
I wanna love you
How can I love you
If you keep running away
Cross my heart
It's getting stronger
I can't wait much longer
You gotta stop running away
Your kisses are bittersweet
Alibies incomplete
I know what you didn't say
Now haven't you had your fun
Is anything left undone
Why can't we meet half way
When will you find out
Now that the truth's out
This is more than a careless romance
Cross my heart
I wanna love you
How can I love
If you keep running away
Cross my heart
It's getting stronger
I can't wait much longer
You gotta stop running away
True love is never quite enough
It's so unsure
Is it what you're dreaming of
Darling, it's time you let me in
Maybe tonight
We can start again
Cross my heart
I wanna love you
How can I love you
If you keep running away
Cross my heart
It's getting stronger
I can't wait much longer
You gotta stop running away
Cross my heart
It's getting stronger
I can't wait much longer
You gotta stop running away
Cross my heart
It's getting stronger
I can't wait much longer
You gotta stop running away
(B. Gibb/A. Galuten/A. Gibb)
Have I ever been here before
I remember hearing your name, sir
If my conversation lacks discretion
It's the same old foolish game
Did I ever give you my key
Did you ever walk through my door, sir
You may not be one of my possessions
But I need you more and more
I finally acquired what other people live on
I always took what I could find
But on that lucky night
I found me loving you
And the best thing you can do
is to fall in love with
I can feel the glow when we kiss
I don't have the strength to resist you
You must have lit a fire in my heart
'Cos I need you more and more
I'm resting in your arms
And dancing in the moonlight
My emotions are on display
And if I don't see your face
Or feel you in my fingers
I would have to try
To get by with someone like
You relax while I make you warm
And into your trap I will fall, sir
I gave my last position
On the chance to see you more
To love you more and more
And more...
(B. Gibb/R. Gibb/M. Gibb)
When I don't see you
And I don't know where you've been
There gets to be a question in my mind
It hurts to love you
And the knife goes through the heart of me
When you're gone I lose a part of me
That's hard to find
Don't want to fall asleep without you
Don't wanna wake
Don't wanna wake up when you're gone
I don't know what you do that makes me love you
But then love don't mean surrender
And it's time I let it show
You've got someone else in love with you
And I deserve to know
You've been laying our
Love on the line
That's my suspicion
When I see her in your eyes
Love undermined
No ammunition
I don't wanna love you paralyzed
I don't wanna love you paralyzed
Some misty morning
When she does the same to you
When she makes you feel like I do
That's the day
But she can't have you
She can't build a wall around you
She can't love you like I love you anyway
I know by midnight if you leave me
And no lies can make the difference
More hearts get broken now than need be
And it's right to face the woman
That steal the away man
If there's anything to get you back
That I must do I can
And our love will never be
Love on the line
That's my suspicion
When I can see her in your eyes
Love undermined
I'm on a mission
I don't wanna love you paralyzed
I don't wanna love you paralyzed
And my life I won't surrender
And I'll find out where you go
There's someone else in love with you
And I deserve to know
And it's dying in the heart of me
And our love should never be
Love on the line
That's my suspicion
When I can see her in your eyes
No ammunition
I don't wanna love you paralyzed
I don't wanna love you paralyzed
Love on the line
That's my suspicion
When I can see her in your eyes
Love undermined
I'm on a mission
I don't wanna love you paralyzed
I don't wanna love you paralyzed
(B. Gibb/R. Gibb/M. Gibb)
Hello baby, it's a long time
I know you're here
I feel you close to me
So much to say but
Making all the words
I save them all inside
Then I see you and they disappear
Like leaves beneath the snow
And life don't wait for everyone
And yesterday, I let you go
I'm watching you tonight
And I waited for so long
I've been living on your memory
In a world where we were one
And you told me you could make it on your own
I'm watching you tonight
And it's making me cry
When I lost you, I lost everything
But our love should never die
Not mine, my love is born to be your love
Oh baby
To make history near you
But the moment when I see me in your eyes
You're gone, you're gone
You can say goodbye if you want to
I love you but I'll try to understand
But in my soul I know it's meant to be
Together you and me
But I know you came to fade away
Like voices in the wind
And I wonder if you feel my love
It's stronger than it's ever been
I'm watching you tonight
And there's no other one
All the love we gave eternally
Now it's dying in the sun
Not mine, my love was born to be your love
Oh baby
To make history near you
But that moment when I see me in your eyes
You're gone, you're gone, you're gone
(B. Gibb/M. Gibb/M. Jackson)
Animal stalking you at night
I'm a sucker for someone
And I got the prey in sight
Lying on a bed of leaves
In the modern times
You forget and let your spirit breathe
Capture me my blood is red
Another victim of your ritual
For you my skin is shed
Ecstacy ain't what you find
In the modern world
One flick of my tongue changes
The meaning of the world
And you say
That's impossible
That's not impossible to do, oh
And you digest what I can see
The taste of you can be
I don't wanna get eaten alive
'Cause you're so dangerous
No more hearts I can trust, you see
I don't wanna get eaten alive
To be eaten alive
Eaten alive
I don't ever wanna be
Eaten alive
Now I got you on the run
And the quicker my senses
And the chance is, I'm the faster one
I know the universal law
Primeval times
With a little stimulation
It'll come once more, and you say
That's impossible
It's not impossible to do, oh
And you digest what I can see
The taste of you can be
I don't wanna get eaten alive
'Cause you're so dangerous
No more hearts I can trust
You see
I don't wanna get eaten alive
To be eaten alive
Eaten alive
I don't ever wanna be
Eaten alive
I don't wanna get eaten alive
'Cause you're so dangerous
No more hearts I can trust
You see
I don't wanna get eaten alive
To be eaten alive
Tie me to a tree, crawl all over me
You can rip my shirt, drag me in the dirt
I will be your slave, anything you say
I don't ever wanna be eaten alive
I don't wanna get eaten alive
'Cos you're so dangerous
No more hearts I can trust, you see
I don't wanna get eaten alive
'Cos you're so dangerous
No more hearts I can trust, you see
I don't wanna get eaten alive
'Cos you're dangerous
No more hearts I can trust, you see
I don't wanna get eaten alive
To be eaten alive
Gotta do her, crawl all over me
You can rip my shirt, drag me in the dirt
I will be your slave, anything you say
I don't ever wanna be, eaten alive
(B. Gibb/G. Bitzer)
You say it's better to behave
just like I never met you
Why is it only I can cry
And you can say goodbye in a minute
Don't you remember I was your friend
And you can just erase all those days
And those tender reflections we bear
We promised not to fall in love
But it was there and soon I was in it
Already I was more than your friend
It's harder for me
No words or expressions
Can make you hungry for me
I've never seen you on your knees
Like I'm beggin' you
Don't give up, give up on each other
Back where we started
No love to hold us down
I'll never give another anymore than I gave to you
Will never come around
Always and always
You told me love was ever and ever
Together the dream will come true
If we turn back
If you turn back to me
You won't be sorry if you stay
I'll stake my life upon it
Little flame inside us can be fed
Take our precious love to the limit
It's the one that you need and it's your friend
It's harder for me
No words or expressions
Anything that makes you worry
I've never seen you on your knees
And I'm in a hurry
How is it you can break my heart
But you can't be sorry
Push away whoever you please
But I'm begging you
Don't give up, give up on each other
Back where we started
No love to hold us down
I'll never give another
Anymore than I gave to you
Will never come around, oh
Don't give up, give up on each other
We can't lose tomorrow
Better treasure what we've got
I'll never give another anymore than I gave to you
(G. Fuqua/K. Lupper)
Kiss me now
While my lips are burning up for your sweet taste
Kiss me now
Long to feel the firey aid of your embrace
Kiss me now
That you're someone very special in my life
Kiss me now
Love you and I want you by my side
Kiss me now
Love me now
I ain't had no loving on since yesterday
Baby tell me how
You expect someone to live a life that way
Each and every day baby
I've been hoping that you will give in
Give in, give in, give in
You mean more to me than just a friend
Kiss me now
I've been waiting too long
Years my dear, my dear, my dear
I've been very lonely
And I wish that you were here
So I could hold you near
I've been hoping that you will give in
Give in, give in, give in
You mean more to me than just a friend
Kiss me now
Kiss me
Somebody, you gotta kiss me now
Love me now
I've been waiting too long
Years my dear, my dear
I've been very lonely
And I wish that you were here
So I could hold you
Hoping that you will give in
You mean more to me than just a friend
Kiss me now
Kiss me now
Kiss me now
Kiss me now
(B. Gibb/R. Gibb/M. Gibb)
I must be crazy they don't know what we've done
You are my lover
Even though I know it's wrong
I hear them talking
But whatever they do
I need to love you
And if I love you couldn't we make it
Got someone loving me
He won't say goodbye
He's been so good to me
I don't wanna make him cry
I need you both to love me
It's up to you
You can help me
You're the reason I can't decide
Breakin' my bones and shakin' my nerves
Till I just can't see tomorrow
Looking at him and looking at you
And I don't know who to follow
I'll never win in the state I'm in
It's a crime of passion, I'm bad to love you
Whenever I'm with you, I lose control
It's a crime of passion for me and for you
Whatever I give you
It's just too late to save my soul
I need to love you
My desperation is the power to go on
Each night I prayed for love
I'm at the mercy of
And if you don't hear me now
Then I'll be the only one
Don't wanna be, don't wanna be the only one
I saw him yesterday
The questions he asked
I think he knows about us
Did we move too fast
How can we hide it
When we know it's a lie
Keep our love under the covers
The pressure is too high
Why do I get myself tied up
Why tangle with love you borrow
I should have been known as a one man woman
Should have been one love but oh no
Never be a cure for the human law
It's a crime of passion, I'm bad to love you
Whenever I'm with you, I lose control
It's a crime of passion for me and for you
Whatever I give you
It's just too late to save my soul
I need to love you
My desperation is the power to go on
Each night I prayed for love
I'm at the mercy of
And if you don't hear me now
Then I'll be the only one
Don't wanna be, don't wanna be the only one
(T. McFaddin/L. Brown/L. Perry)
Ooh,yeah
From rags to riches, here I stand
Shaped and molded by your loving hand
With faith and trust unshaken
You led me all the way
Through years of joy and tears
I'm standing here to say
You're that one love in my lifetime
And if I search this whole wide world
I know I'll never find a love that's stronger
Than an oak tree
That will be standing in the sun
When my life is done, yeah
A carefree girl
I couldn't see
All the future plans darlin'
You made for me
You placed the whole world
At my feet
And lit a flame of passion
That burns eternally
Love may come
And love may go
But you're the man that made me
And no one else can change me
You're my Adam, and I'm your Eve
And if I live a hundred years
I know there'll only be
One love in my lifetime
Only one love
Burning in this heart of mine
You're the one love
In my lifetime
And if I live a hundred years
I know I'll never find
A love that's stronger
Than an oak tree
That will be standing in the sun
When my life is done
One love in my lifetime
Only one love
Burning in this heart of mine
One love
Burning in this heart of mine
One love
(B. Gibb/R. Gibb/M. Gibb)
I thought I'd already touched the sky
I got to know you and I don't know why
But all of my life couldn't mean as much
As just being touched by you
I never thought of me growing up
Got my directions but the road was rough
It's only the dream of a teenage queen
But somehow I made it through
And I'd love to see
Those faces of those friends I left behind
And even those who spoke for me
Just trying to be kind
And no one said I love you just the way
I know you do
And I love being in love with you
Living inside your heart
The giving and the taking
You are not forsaken
I love being in love with you
Thank you just for choosing me
That we should be
Being in love forever
And ever, ever
I stare and wonder at what I found
I just discovered why the world is round
Round in a circle my arms will be
And doing the same as you
It ain't right it's only for you and me
Only the lonely do it seperately
Keep it alive on the food of love
But only the chosen few
In my life you see some changes in me
We listen and we grow
Any child that clings to childish things
Is trying to let go
And up to now
I'd thought I'd seen as far as I could see
And I love being in love with you
Living inside your heart
The giving and the taking
You are not forsaken
I love being in love with you
Thank you just for choosing me
That we should be
Being in love forever
And ever, ever
And I love being in love with you
Living inside your heart
The giving and the taking
You are not forsaken
I love being in love with you
Thank you just for choosing me
That we should be
I love being in love with you
Living inside your heart
The giving and the taking
You are not forsaken
I love being in love with you
(K. Lupper)

(M. Masser/P. Sawyer)
Am I really hard to please ?
Perhaps I have such special needs
I wondered what was wrong with me
My friends all fall so easily
But today I fell in love with someone I hardly know
Did I make myself imagine that he could love me so ?
'Cause the feeling was so unexpected
I could hardly keep myself collected
I thought it took a little time to learn about lovin'
Never did believe in lovin' on sight
I thought it took a little time to learn about lovin'
All I know is now it's gotta be right
In the midst of conversation he looked into my eyes
And all through the conversation
Much to my own surprise
Half the words he said to me were missin'
'Cause my mind was so intend on kissin'
I thought it took a little time to learn about lovin'
Never did believe in lovin' on sight
I thought it took a little time to learn about lovin'
All I know is now it's gotta be right
Am I really hard to please ?
Perhaps I have such special needs
I wondered what was wrong with me
My friends all fall so easily
But today I fell in love with someone I hardly know
Did I make myself imagine that he could love me so ?
And the feelin' was so deep inside me
I could feel it when he brushed beside me
I thought it took a little time to learn about lovin'
Never did believe in lovin' on sight
I thought it took a little time to learn about lovin'
All I know is now it's gotta be right
(N. Ashford/V. Simpson)
Could it be he's interested
Or am I just wanting it to be so
Do I dare speak to him
Should I let the moment go
Forget this hunger inside
Forget this hunger inside
Should I let the feeling flow
Should I just let it flow
Ain't nothing maybe, baby
I sure would like to know
Could it be he's just friendly
That ain't nothing to get excited about
On the other hand he could be answering
Good vibrations I'm sending out
Well I just don't know
What I'm really seeing
Should I make a move
Or keep on day dreaming
Ain't nothing maybe, baby
I sure would like to
I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know
I sure would like to
Could it be he's interested
Should I let the moment go
Forget this feeling inside
Forget this feeling inside
Should I let the feeling flow
Should I just let it flow
Ain't nothing maybe, baby
I sure would like to
I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know
Forget this hunger inside
Forget this hunger inside
Should I let the feeling flow
Should I just let it flow
Ain't nothing maybe
Ain't nothing maybe, baby
Forget this hunger inside
Forget this hunger inside
Should I let the feeling flow
Should I just let it flow
Ain't nothing maybe, baby
Ain't nothing maybe, baby
Forget this hunger inside
Forget this hunger inside
(M. Masser/R. Miller)
Raining again
I ought to get out from under
Sometimes I wonder
Sometimes I don't wonder at all
And as for loving again
Somewhere somebody might need me
But where would it lead me?
I'd just be rising to fall
Love was easy to believe in
When you wanted me yesterday
But I couldn't feel the touch of time upon tomorrow
After you
What am I gonna be?
You took a part of me
As you were passing through
After you
How am I gonna find
The me I left behind
That I'll meet after you
Drifting again
From place to place without reason
Season to season
I just keep running away
And as for people again
I'm just a girl who discovers
Now and then lovers
Who never ask me to stay
Love was easy to believe in
When I walked in the light of you
Now I'm walking by myself
And all I see is darkness
After you
What am I gonna be?
You took a part of me
As you were passing through
After you
How am I gonna find
The me I left behind
That I'll meet after you
Raining again
I ought to get out from under
Sometimes I wonder
Sometimes I don't wonder at all
After you
How am I gonna find
The me I left behind
That I'll meet after you
After you
What am I gonna be
You took a part of me
As you were passing through
Raining again
Raining again
Raining again
After you
What am I gonna be
Raining again
[Marvin]
You¡¯re alone all the time
Does it ever puzzle you
Have you asked why
You seem to fall in love and out again
Do you really ever love
Or just pretend, oh, baby
Why fool yourself
Don¡¯t be afraid to help yourself
It¡¯s never too late, too late to
Stop, look, yes, listen to your heart
Hear what it¡¯s sayin¡¯
Stop, look, listen to your heart
Hear what it¡¯s sayin¡¯
Love, oh, love, love
[Diana]
Though you try, you can¡¯t hide
All the things you really feel
This time decide
That you will open up, let it in
There¡¯s no shame in sharin¡¯ love you feel within
So jump right in
Head over heels and fall right in
It¡¯s never too late, too late to
Stop, look, listen to your heart
Hear what it¡¯s sayin¡¯
Stop, look, oh, listen to your heart

And listen to your heart hear what it¡¯s sayin¡¯
[Ooh, ooh, can¡¯t you see that it¡¯s not too late]
(P. Sawyer/G. Jones)
My mistake was to love you, girl
Love you, girl
My mistake was to give you all
Tell the world
First I had you
In the palm of my hand
But I let you slip through
Like rain to sand
At the beginning
When I didn't care
Like my own reflection
You were always there
My mistake was to love you, girl
Love you, girl
My mistake was to give you all
Tell the world
You were sweeter
Then my very own skin
But what did I do for you
Not a thing
In front of my friends
You broke me down
Since then darling
It's hard to track you down
My mistake was to love you, boy
Love you, boy
My mistake was to give my all
Tell the world
Many a smile
You put om ny face
But I paid dearly
With the tears I taste
My tenderness
Made you cold, not sweet
'Cause if a girl loves you
You only call her weak
My mistake was to love you, boy
Love you, boy
My mistake was to give my all
Tell the world
My mistake was to love you, girl
Love you, girl
My mistake was to give you all
Tell the world
(Bernard Edwards/Nile Rodgers)
My nights grow long
My nights grow long
Now that you're gone
My nights grow long
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
My nights grow long
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
I'm living my life all alone
Or hit by a blow
To my pride
But I'm doing OK
I won't let you see
What this has done to me
I guess I'll just take it in stride
Come what may
My nights grow long
My nights grow long
Now that you're gone
My nights grow long
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
My nights grow long
Now that you're gone
How can one do what should be done by two
I guess that's a crazy question to ask
I might seem happy
But don't be fooled by my appearance
Make no mistake
I'm just wearing a mask
My nights grow long
My nights grow long
Now that you're gone
My nights grow long
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
My nights grow long
Now that you're gone
My nights grow long
My nights grow long
Now that you're gone
My nights grow long
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
My nights grow long
Now that you're gone
My nights grow long
My nights grow long
Now that you're gone
My nights grow long
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
My nights grow long
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
My nights grow long
Now that you're gone
My nights grow long
My nights grow long
Now that you're gone
My nights grow long

Love is called
My old piano
I have a ball
With my old piano
My baby entertains
The real life of my parties
But still retains
In all the dignity
His international style
Exudes an air of royalties
His eighty eight key smile
Is so pleasant to see
Love is called
My old piano
I have a ball
With my old piano
My old keyboard
Won't stand for a corner
He demands the middle of the room
Your heart disolves
While he tips you so gracefully
'Till you're involved
In a babygrand affair
Love is called
My old piano
I have a ball
With my old piano
He entertains
The real life of my parties
But still retains
In all the dignity
His international style
Exudes an air of royalties
His eighty eight key smile
Is so pleasant to see
My old keyboard
Won't stand for a corner
He demands the middle of the room
Your heart disolves
While he tips you so gracefully
'Till you're involved

I'm coming out
I'm coming
I'm coming out
I'm coming out
I'm coming out
I'm coming out
I'm coming out
I want the world to know
Got to let it show
I'm coming out
I want the world to know
I got to let it show
There's a new me coming out
And I just had to live
And I wanna give
I'm completely positive
I think this time around
I am gonna do it
Like you never do it
Like you never knew it
Ooh, I'll make it through
The time has come for me
To break out of the shell
I have to shout
That I'm coming out
I'm coming out
I want the world to know
Got to let it show
I'm coming out
I want the world to know
I got to let it show
I'm coming out
I want the world to know
Got to let it show
I'm coming out
I want the world to know
I got to let it show
I've got to show the world
All that I wanna be
And all my billities
There's so much more to me
Somehow, I have to make them
Just understand
I got it well in hand
And, oh, how I've planned
I'm spreadin' love
There's no need to fear
And I just feel so glad
Everytime I hear:
I'm coming out
I want the world to know
Got to let it show
I'm coming out
I want the world to know
I got to let it show
(Bernard Edwards/Nile Rodgers)

Your love is so good for me
Your love is so good for me
Every day you're on my mind
Wanna be near you all the time
You made my poem rhyme
And my heart began to sing again
The day your eyes met mine
Your love is so good for me
Your love is so good for me
Two hearts just running free
Like a wind song through the trees
Your love does not possess
It just holds me where I wanna be
With binds of tenderness
Your love is so good for me
Your love is so good for me
Baby, you know your love is so good
It's good
You know it's good
Like a star up in the sky
Burning brightly, you and I
Time will tell if love survives
For we only have today
And today love is alive
Your love is so good for me
Your love is so good for me
It's so good
You know your love is so good,
So good for me...
It's so good
No need to say the words
When you touch me they will be heard
You gave so much to me
And you showed me how to love the way
True love was meant to be
Your love is so good for me
Your love is so good for me
(Jerry Ragovoy/Linda Laurie)
Warmer than sunshine, baby
Sweeter than tears
That's how my life has been
Since you first appeared
You opened up my heart
To everything fine
You put a light inside me
And you made me shine
From the time I met you everything came true
All I ever dreamed
I found in you
Ooh, you got it
There's no way
I'm gonna live without it
Nothin' can stop it
I'm all yours
'Cause baby you got it all
You keep me movin' baby
To the beat of your drum
I love what you're doin'
And where you're comin' from
And when you hold me baby
It's like we are one
'Cause you got a motion
That gets me all undone
When you took my life and turned it all around
Ooh, you got me flying
Don't take me down
Ooh, you got it
There's no way
I'm gonna live without it
Nothin' can stop it
I'm all yours
'Cause baby you got it all
You know I can't control
For what I feel in my soul
My heart is full of you
All I wanna do is to love you
Love you the rest of my life
Keep it comin'
Don't stop now
Spread your love around me
Do it now, do it now
Ooh, you got it
There's no way
I'm gonna live without it
Nothin' can stop it
I'm all yours
'Cause baby you got it all
Ooh, you got it
There's no way
I'm gonna live without it
Nothin' can stop it
I'm all yours
'Cause baby you got it all
Ooh, you got it
(Tom Snow)
Ooh, baby I'm going crazy
Everytime I think of you
I'm excited, so delighted
I finally see the light shine through
I can see a million dreams come true
So hold on
Here we go
I've got a feeling that is gonna grow
Up to the top of the world
Here I am
There you are
I've got a feeling that we're going far
Up to the top of the world
Gotta go higher, higher
Now the world seems like a sweet dream
When I look into your eyes
It's mystified
There's no denying
The way you make me feel inside
And it's getting stronger all the time
So hold on
Here we go
I've got a feeling that we're gonna grow
Up to the top of the world
Here I am
There you are
I've got a feeling that we're going far
Up to the top of the world
Let me go higher, higher
So hold on
Here we go
I've got a feeling that is gonna grow
Up to the top of the world
Here I am
There you are
I've got a feeling that we're going far
Up to the top of the world
So hold on
Here we go
I've got a feeling that is gonna grow
Up to the top of the world
Here I am
There you are
I've got a feeling that we're going far
Up to the top of the world
(Stevie Wonder)
You make me smile
You make me say
You make me feel good every day
You bring me up
When I've been down
This only happens when you're around
And I can't go on this way
Feel it stronger every day
But being too shy to say
That I really love you
I wanna fly
Away with you
Until there's nothing more for us to do
I wanna be
More than a friend
Until the end of an endless end
And I can't go on this way
Feel it stronger every day
But being too shy to say
That I really love you
And I can't go on this way
Feel it stronger every day
But being too shy to say
That I really love you
I do
(Bill Withers)
Your love is like a chunk of gold
Hard to get and it's hard to hold
Just like a rose that's soft to touch
Love has thorns and it hurts so much
Well then why must the same love
That made me laugh make me cry
Well now think of love as sitting on a mountain
Think of it of being a great big rock
Well I did it before you start to roll me down
Because once you've started you can't make it stop
I'll give it all I have to give
And if you don't want me
I don't want to live
Well then why must the same love
That made me laugh make me cry
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why do you wanna make me cry?
(Tom Snow/Frannie Golde)
I sit by the telephone
Waiting for you to call me
And when I'm alone in the night
The blues start to fall on me
Baby, I'm waiting for you
And all that's on my mind
Is what I`m gonna do
My friends say I'm crazy
And I'm wasting my time on you
I'm breaking the rules
And I'm way out of line it's true
Baby, one night with you
And they'd be goin' crazy too
I'm getting ready for love
Brand new start
Here's my heart
I'm getting ready for love
I can feel
This time it's real
All I keep thinkin' about
Is the way that you do to me
Baby, the wonder of you
Has made the wonderful come true
I'm getting ready for love
Brand new start
Here's my heart
I'm getting ready for love
I can feel
This time it's real
I'm under your spell
Of that I'm sure
You can tell
Sailin' along on a breeze
Ooh, I'm flying
Ooh, I'm skying
I'm getting ready for love
Brand new start
Here's my heart
I'm getting ready for love
I can feel
This time it's real
I'm getting ready for love
Yes, I am
Yes, I am
I'm getting ready for love
(Melissa Manchester/Stanley Schwartz)
Confide in me
Religh on me
And I will try to satisfy
Your every need
Through the day
'Till we say goodnight
Take it slow, easy go
Any friend would recommend
The starlight show
On a night like this
I insist you try
Oh, now I know the nights will last
Morning sun is shining through
So close the door
And let the whole world passes by
While I confide in you
If you take the time
You will find
A smile face, warm embrace
A sympathetic mind, to do it right
Confide in me tonight
Oh, now I know the nights will last
Morning sun is shining through
So close the door
And let the whole world passes by
While I confide in you
Confide in me
Religh on me
any wish, you've ever missed
Is guaranteed
There's a peace of mind
You will find
Confide in me tonight
Ooh, confide in me tonight
(Donald Dunn/Charles Smith)

Oooh, I was created for you
So glad that I've waited for you
All night lover
Use your magic power
You can thrill me
All night lover
Thrill me by the hour
Every time you hold me

All night lover

You don't know how happy you make me
Oooh, I was created for you
So glad that I've waited for you
More and more you, I adore you

Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you
Where are you going to?
Do you know...?
Do you get
What you're hoping for
When you look behind you
There's no open door
What are you hoping for?
Do you know...?
Once we were standing still in time
Chasing the fantasies
That filled our minds
You knew how I loved you
But my spirit was free
Laughin' at the questions
That you once asked of me
Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you
Where are you going to?
Do you know...?
Now looking back at all we've planned
We let so many dreams
Just slip through our hands
Why must we wait so long
Before we'll see
How sad the answers
To those questions can be
Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you
Where are you going to?
Do you know...?
Do you get
What you're hoping for
When you look behind you
There's no open door
What are you hoping for?
Do you know...?
Everybody's Got 'Em

To give me the chance
To look forward to say
Hey, listen, they're playing my song
Play me the music
Give me the chance to come through
All I ever wanted was the music and the chance to sing for you
Let me have something to live for
Let me be all that I dare
Reach out and touch
Touch me in the morning
Reach out and I'll be there
Play me the music
Play me the music
Give me the chance to come through
All I ever wanted was the music and the chance to say
I did
Give me the chance to come through
All I ever wanted was the music and the chance...
(Richard Rodgers/Lorentz Hart)
I get too hungry for dinner at eight
I like the theatre but never come late
I never bother with people I hate
That's why the lady is a tramp
I like the crap games with barons and earls
Won't go to Harlem in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt with the rest of the girls
That's why the lady is a tramp
I like that cool fresh wind in my hair
Life without care
I'm broke, it's oke!
Hate california
It's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp
I get too hungry for dinner at eight
I like the theatre but never come late
I never bother with people I hate
That's why the lady is a tramp
I like the crap games with barons and earls
Won't go to Harlem in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt with the rest of the girls
That's why the lady is a tramp
I like that cool fresh wind in my hair
Life without care
I'm broke, it's oke!
Hate california
It's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp
(Ted Koehler/Harold Arlen)
I don't know why
There's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
It's raining all the time
When he went away
The blues came in and met me
If he stays away
That old rocking chair's gonna get me
All I do is pray
My lord will let me
Walk in the sun once more
I can't go on
Everything I have in life is gone
Stormy weather
Just can't get my gal and I ain't together
It's raining all the time
Keeps raining all the time
(J. Turner/G. Parsons/Sir C. Chaplin)
Smile,
Though your heart is aching
Smile,
Even though its breaking
When there are clouds in the sky you'll get by
If you smile,
Through your fear and sorrow
Smile,
And maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear maybe ever so near
That's the time
You must keep on trying
Smile,
What's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worth while
If you,
Just smile
That's the time
You must keep on trying
Smile,
What's the use of crying
You'll find that life
Life is still worth while
If you just smile
(Stephin Sondheim)
Don't you love farce?
Isn't it queer
Losing my timing this late in my career?
Where are the clowns
There ought to be clowns
Don't bother, I may...
(C. Pollock/M. Yvain/A. Willemetz/J. Charles)
It's caused me a lot
But there's one thing that I got
It's my man
Cold and wet
Tied you bet
All of that I'll soon forget
With my man
He's not much for looks
And no hero out of books
But I love him
Two or three girls has he
That he likes as well as me
But I love him
I don't no why I should
He isn't true
He beats me to
What can I do?
Oh my man, I love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is right, all right
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know
I'll come back on my knees some day
Whatever my man is
I am his for ever more
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know
I'll come back on my knees some day
Whatever my man is
I am his for ever more
(B. Gordy, Jr./J. Bradford)
The best things in life are free
But you can give them to the birds and bees
I need money
That's what I want
That's what I want, yeah
That's what I want
Your love gives me a thrill
But your love can't pay my bill
I need money
That's what I want
That's what I want, yeah
That's what I want
Money
Lots of money
Whole lot of money
Lots of money
That's what I want, yeah
That's what I want
Money don't get everything it's true
What it don't get, I can't use
I need money
That's what I want
That's what I want, yeah
That's what I want
That's what I want, yeah
That's what I want
Money, money
Is what I want
A whole lot of lean green
That's what I want
Give me money, money
Is what I want
That's what I want, well
Now give me money
ow, money
Wow, yeah, you need money
now, give me money
That's what I want, yeah
That's what I want, yeah

I wouldn't change a thing
If I had to live my life all over
I wouldn't change a thing
If I had to live my life all over
I lived a life that's full
Many times I had to pull my way to the top
Never knowing where I'm gonna stop
I made my mistakes
But Lord, what I learned
It led me straight to you babe
And that's my only concern
I wouldn't change a thing
If I had to live my life all over
Oh, I'd do it all again
If I had to live my life all over
It saddens me to think
That somewhere along the way
I'd change my course
And I wouldn't be here today
So I'll take my ups and downs
And bear it with a smile
Cause it brought me straight to you babe
And it makes it all worthwhile
I wouldn't change a thing
If I had to live my life all over
I'd do it all again
If I had to live my life all over
Here I am
Here I'll stay
Here I am
Here I'll stay...
(The Corporation )
When I had you to myself
I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always
Made you stand out in a crowd
But some one took you from the bunch
when love was all it took
Now it's much too late for me
To take a second look
Oh baby give me one more chance
Won't you please let me
Back in your heart
Oh darling I was blind to let you go
But now since I see you in his arms
I want you back
Yes I do now
I want you back
Ooh ooh baby
I want you back
(Marvin Hamlisch/Ed Kleban)
Everyday for a week we would try to be a table
Be a sportscar, ice cream cone
The teacher, he would say
";Very good except Diana, try, Diana, all alone";
So I dug right down to the bottom of my soul
To see how an ice cream felt
I dug right down to the bottom of my soul
And I tried to melt
So the kids in the class said:
";Ooh, I feel chocolate, hey, I feel vanilla";
He said ";OK Ross, what do you feel?";
And I said nothing, I ain't feeling nothing
Deep down nothing is all my teacher had
Everybody felt something
But I felt nothing
Except the feeling that this bull-shit was absurd
(A. Lyman/G. Arnheim/A. Freed)
I cried for you
Now it's your turn to cry over me
Every road has a turning
That's one thing I'm learning
I cried for you
What a fool I used to be
Now I found two eyes
A little bit bluer
I found a heart
Just a little bit truer
I cried for you
Now it's your turn to cry over me
I cried for you
Now it's your turn to cry over me
Every road has a turning
That's one thing I'm learning
I cried for you
What a fool I used to be
Now I found two eyes
Just a little bit bluer
I found a heart
Just a little bit truer
That I cried for you
Now it's your turn to cry over me
(Burt Bacharach/Hal Davis)
Here I am
Here I'll stay
All of my life we'll be together you and I
I was afraid but now my doubts and fears are gone
Here I am
And here I'll always stay
Wanting you, needing you
Don't let me go a single day without your love
You are the one thing I'm certain of
Here I am
(P. Graninger/E. Robbins)
There ain't nothin' I can do
Or nothing I can say
That folks don't criticize me
But I'm gonna do what I want to anyway
And I don't care just what people say
If I should take a notion to jump into the ocean
'T ain't nobody's bizness if I do
If I go to church on sunday then cabaret all day monday
'T ain't nobody's bizness if I do
If my man ain't got no money and I say take all mine honey
'T ain't nobody's bizness if I do
If I give him my last nickle and it leaves me in a pickle
'T ain't nobody's bizness if I do
I'd rather my man would hit me than for him to jump up and quit me
'T ain't nobody's bizness if I do
I swear I won't call no coppa if I'm beat up by my poppa
'T ain't nobody's bizness if I do
Nobody's bizness, ain't nobody's bizness
Nobody's biznes if I do
(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)
Where there was darkness
You came and now there's
An abundance of light
Nothing but sinkin' sand
Suddenly I reach out
There's your hand
What a feeling it is to know
You're in my corner
And you won't let me go
And now I know that
I won't be alone no more
I'll give you all I have
And if you teach me
I will learn to give you more
You are my anchor now
And like a ship at sea
Ooh, your love will steady me
What a feeling this is to know
You're in my corner
And you won't let me go
And now I know that
I won't be alone no more
I'm so glad
Just wanna thank you baby
What a feeling this is to know
You're in my corner
And you won't let me go
What a feeling this is to know
You're in my corner
And you won't let me go
What a feeling this is to know
You're in my corner
And you won't let me go
Thank you baby
What a feeling this is to know
You're in my corner
And you won't let me go
(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)
Something's on my mind
It's been troubling me a long long time
Now I think it would best
If you knew
Just how much I'm in love with you
I don't think it's fair
You walk by and pretend I'm not there
Boy don't you know
What you're putting me through
And just how long I've been wanting you
I've waited patiently
For you to come to me
And I've stood in long as I can
Now I've got to know
Got to know just where I stand
And I hope you're gonna say
All this time you've been feeling the same way
And you were playing such a silly silly game
And my loving you hasn't been in vain
Baby don't you know
And I hope you're gonna say
All this time you were feeling the same way
And you were playing such a silly silly game
And my loving you hasn't been in vain
Something's on my mind
Just how much I need you baby
Ah something's on my mind
That's been troubling me a long long time
Baby baby, something's on my mind
(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
(Just try)
Take a little time out of your busy day
To give encouragement
To someone who's lost the way
(Just try)
Or would I be talking to a stone
If I asked you
To share a problem that's not your own
We can change things if we start giving
Why don't you
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
(Just try)
If you see an old friend on the street
And he's down
Remember his shoes could fit your feet
(Just try)
Try a little kindness you'll see
It's something that comes very naturally
We can change things if we start giving
Why don't you
Reach out and touch
Why don't you (Why don't you)
Reach out and touch somebody's hand
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)
Don't leave me, don't leave me here
On the dark side of the world
My days are darker than your nights
Since I lost you babe
Since I lost you babe
I'm like an ember
Fading out of sight
One more tear and I know I'll disappear
Bring back the sunshine
That you took away
Cause I need ya
And I want ya
Just don't think I'm gonna make it without your love
Don't you know
Such a loneliness I've never known
Since I lost you babe
Since I lost you babe
I'm like a woman who once knew splendour
Now all her wealth and riches
They are gone
Bring back the sunshine
That you took away
Cause I need ya
And I want ya
And I just don't think I'm gonna make it without your love
Bring back the sunshine that you took away
Now my future lies in back of me
Since I lost you babe
Since I lost you babe
I walk this lonely road to eternity
Just despair and emptiness everywhere
Bring back the sunshine
That you took away
Cause I need ya
And I want ya
I just don't think I'm gonna make it without your love
Don't leave me, don't leave me here
On the dark side of the world
Oh don't you leave me here
On the dark side of the world
Cause I need ya
Ooh you know I want ya
Right here on the dark side of the world
(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)
Now that there's you
I can get up in the morning
Look down the lonesome road
Know that I have the strength to carry on
Now that there's you
Love abides in my soul
I have a purpose, I have a goal
I can reach out and touch the star
Yesterday it seemed so far
Now that there's you, oh you
No matter the trial
I'll get by 'coz I know there's an answer
Somewhere in your smile
Now that there's you
I can reach that mountain top
'Till I get there I won't stop
I've a new sense of pride
It makes me do things I never tried
Now that there's you oh, you
I can feel I am real
At last I taste the honey
I'm alive for the first time
And the sun shines over
Now that there's you
Hey, you
Oh oh oh oh
I see all the colours the world was supposed to be
And now a robin sings and I know there's spring
Now that there's you
Every day I seem to find a new dimension of my mind
I'm no longer a piece of clay
My heart has some buried lungs to say
Now that there's you, oh you
I can feel I am real
At last I taste the honey
I'm alive for the first time
And the sun shines over
Now that there's you
Thank you baby
I feel I am real
At last I taste the honey
I'm alive for the first time
And the sun shines over
Now that there's you
I'm real I'm real
At last I taste the honey
I'm alive for the first time
And the sun shines over
Now that there's you
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
I'm alive for the first time
And the sun shines over
Now that there's you
I'm real I'm real
At last I taste the honey
I'm alive for the first time
And the sun shines over
Now that there's you
(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)
Keep an eye
Keep an eye
Keep an eye
On your close friend
Keep an eye
Keep an eye
Keep an eye
On your close friend
'Cause what you got that'll make you lose
And then turn around and step in your shoes
I say they'll turn around
And step in your shoes
I stood there numb
Watchin' my friend walk away
With my love on her arm
Oh, what she said was
";Sorry for what I had to do
But you see I love him just as much as you";
Keep an eye
Keep an eye
On your close friend
Keep an eye
Keep an eye
You better watch out
For your close friend
The devil's workshop is a busy place
On top of evil there's an innocent face
Oh, on top of evil he puts an innocent face
She was just like a spider
Only twice as smart
Kindness was a thread
She used to weave my world apart
There were three of us seen all over town
Now there's only two
Someone's missing guess who
Now I see how she schemed and
Worked her way in between
Planted seeds of mistrust
To make us fight unaware
Her comforting ways when I would cry
Shadowed the look of triumph in her eye
Just like a snake on the limb tree
A friend is an enemy you can see
'Cause what you got that'll make you lose
And then turn around and step in your shoes
I said they'll turn around
And step in your shoes
So you better keep an eye on your close friend
You better watch out for your close friend
Don't trust nobody
Don't trust nobody
Keep an eye on your close friend
Keep an eye
Don't trust nobody
Keep an eye on your close friend
You better watch out for your close friend
She was just like a spider
Only twice as smart
(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)
I've got a funny kind of guy
Nobody knows him
Any better than I
Says without me
He can get along
But I know that's just a man's way
Of saying he's strong
But I wouldn't change him no
Oh I wouldn't change his funny ways
'Cause he's the cause of my sunny days
And though sometimes he brings me little tears
Still love the man he is
If I do something to please him
He never gives me credit
If I think he'll bring me candy and roses
Huh, I might as well forget it
He's the kind of a man
Who likes his privacy
And when a mood hits him
I know when to let him be
But I wouldn't change him no
I wouldn't change his funny, funny ways
'Cause he's the cause of my sunny days
And though sometimes he brings me little tears
Still love the man he is
Sometimes when he hurts me so bad
I think I've got migraine in the head
All he has to do is touch me
Tears disappear
I'll forgive him in a minute
I have to pretend
There ain't much I know
He's the kind of a man
Who likes to run the show
But I wouldn't change him, no
I wouldn't change his funny ways
'Cause he's the cause of my sunny days
Though sometimes he brings me little tears
Still love the man he is
Oh I love that man
I wouldn't change his funny ways
And I wouldn't change the man he is..
(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)
I know you're standing there
Trying to say the words
You took so long to prepare
But I laugh, pretending I don't see
Cause I don't wanna hear
What you got to say to me
Can't it wait until tomorrow
Before you bring me the showers
Can't it wait until tomorrow
Give me 24 more hours
I 've seen it coming for quite sometime now
Don't you know I've tried to stop it
In every way I know how
And I know it's hard for you
As it is for me
So listen to my heart
Begging desperately
Can't it wait until tomorrow
Before you bring me the showers
Oh wait until tomorrow
Give me 24 more hours
Baby please give me 24 more hours
Can't it wait until tomorrow
Before you bring me the showers
Can't it wait until tomorrow
Give me 24 more hours
Can't it wait until tomorrow
Before you bring me the showers
Oh wait until tomorrow
Give me 24 more hours
(I. Berlin)
I'm dreaming of a white christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
And chlidren listen
To hear sleigh bell in the snow
Ooh, I'm dreaming of a white christmas
With every christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your christmases be white
Dreaming
Ooh, white christmas
Merry and bright
Ooh, I'm dreaming of a white christmas
With every christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your christmases be white
White christmas
(Paul McCartney)
The mood is right, the spirit's up
We're here tonight and that's enough
Simply having a wonderful christmastime
Simply having a wonderful christmastime
The party's on, the feeling's here
That only comes this time of year
Simply having a wonderful christmastime
Simply having a wonderful christmastime
The choir of children sing their song
They practiced all year long
Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong, ding
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Simply having a wonderful christmastime
Simply having a wonderful christmastime
The world is out, about the town
To lift a glass, oh don't look down
Simply having a wonderful christmastime
The choir of children sing their song
They practiced all year long
Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong, ding
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
The party's on, the feeling's here
That only comes this time of year
Simply having a wonderful christmastime
We're simply having a wonderful christmastime
Simply having a wonderful christmastime
(F. Bernard/D. Smith)
Over the ground lies a mantle of white
A heaven of diamonds shine down through the night
Two hearts are thrillin'
In spite of the chill in the weather, ooh the weather
Love knows no season, love knows no clime
Romance can blossom any old time
Here in the open
We're walkin' and hopin' together
Together, together, together
Sleigh bells ring, are you list'nin?
In the lane, snow is glist'nin'
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the blue bird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song, as we go along
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can built a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say ";are you married?";
We'll say ";no man!
But you can do the job when you're in town";
Later on we'll conspire, as we dream by the fire
To face unafraid, the plans that we've made
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can built a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with Mister Snowman
Until the other kiddies knock him down
When it snows ain't it thrillin'
Tho' your nose gets a chillin'
We'll frolic and play, the eskimo way
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
(Hal David/Burt Bacharach)
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No not just for some but for everyone
Lord we don't need another mountain
There are mountains and hillsides
Enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers
Enough to cross. enough to last
'Till the end of time
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No not just for some but for everyone
Lord we don't need another meadow
There are corn fields and wheat fields
Enough to grow
There are sun beams and moon beams
Enough to shine
Oh listen Lord if you want to know
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No not just for some but for everyone
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
What the world needs now
(M. Torme/R. Wells)
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletidecarols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like eskimos
Everybody knows, a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mothers child is gonna spy
To see if reindeers really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety two
Although it's been said many times, many times
Merry christmas to you
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mothers child is gonna spy
To see if reindeers really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety two
Although it's been said many times, many times
Merry christmas to you
(R. Miller/B. Wells)
Someday at christmas men won't be boys
Playing with bombs like kids play with toys
one warm december our hearts will see
A world where men are free
Someday at christmas there'll be no war
When we have learned what christmas is for
When we have found what life's really worth
There'll be peace on earth
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at christmas
Someday at christmas we'll see a land
With no hungry children
No emtpy hand
One happy morning people will share
A world where people care
Someday at christmas
There'll be no tears
When all men are equal
No man has fears
One shining moment
One prayer away
From our world today
Someday at christmas
Men will not fail
Hate will be gone
And love will prevail
Someday a new world
That we can start
With hope in every heart
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at christmas time
(J. Mohe/F. Gurber)
Silent night
Holy night
All is calm, all is bright
'Round you virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night
Holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly host sing alleluia
Christ the savior is born
Christ the savior is born
Silent night
Holy night
Son of god, loves pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, lord, at thy birth
Jesus, lord, at thy birth
(Stevie Wonder)
Over time, I've been building my castle of love
Just for two, -
Though you never knew you were my reason
I've gone much too far for you now to say
That I've got to throw my castle away
Over dreams, -
I have picked out a perfect come true
Though you never knew it was of you -
I've been dreaming
The sandman has come from too far away
For you to say come back some other day
And though you don't believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over loved, over me
Over hearts, I have painfully turned every stone
Ooh, just to find, -
I had found what I've searched to discover
I've come much too far for me now to find
The love that I sought can never be mine
And though you don't believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over loved, over me
And though the odds say improbable
What do they know
For in romance
All true love needs is a chance
and maybe with a chance you may find
You too like I
Overjoyed, over loved, over you
(J. S. Dwight/A. Adam)
Oh holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear saviour's birth
Long lay the world
In sin and error pining
'Til he appeared
And the soul felt it's worth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angels voices
Oh night divine
Oh night, oh night, oh night
Oh night divine
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night, oh night, oh night
Oh night divine
(S. Cahn/Jule Styne)
Oh! the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
Since we've no place to go Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
It doesn't show signs of stoppin'
And I brought some corn for poppin'
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
When we finally kiss goodnight
Oh I hate to go out in the storm
But if you'll really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
The fire is slowly dying
And my dear, we're still goodbyeing
As long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
When we finally kiss goodnight
Oh I hate to go out in the storm
But if you'll really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
The fire is slowly dying
And my dear, we're still goodbyeing
As long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
(Mrs. S. Martin)
Why should I feel discouraged
Why should the shadows come
Why should my heart feel lonely
And long for heaven and home?
When Jesus is my portion
My constant friend
Is he
His eye is on the sparrow
I know he watches me
His eye is on the sparrow
I know he watches me
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
I know he watches me
His eye, his eye is on the sparrow
I know he watches
I know he watches
I know he watches me
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
I know, I know, I know He watches over
He watches over me
(John Lennon/Yoko Ono)
So this is christmas

And a happy new year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
War is over
War is over
War is over now
Walking blind across this silver room
Looking through a smoke menagerie
Looking at your face inside of me
In the darkness you're Tunisia
Nights are long entropic
I can't seem to cope
It's cold when I look in your eyes
Pieces of ice
Pieces of ice
Pieces of ice
Pieces of ice
Where the zebra lightning strikes the room
Foreign words are strutted through the gloom
Women swooping down like birds of prey
Never close but never far away
Night are long entropic
I can't seem to cope
It's cold when I look in your eyes
Pieces of ice
Pieces of ice
Pieces of ice
If you believe
Within your heart you'll know
That no one can change
The path that you must go
Believe what you feel
And know you're right because
The time will come around
When you say it's yours
Believe there's a reason to be
Believe you can make time stand still
You know from the moment you try
If you believe, I know you will
Believe in yourself right from the start
You'll have brains, you'll have a heart
You'll have courage
To last your whole life through
If you believe in yourself
If you believe in yourself
If you believe in yourself
Fancy me
Thought I had my degree
In life and how love
Ought to be a run
I had a one step plan to prove it
Guide in my pocket for fools
Folly and fun
Love had to show me one thing
I was so right, so right
Thought I could turn emotion, on and off
I was so sure, so sure
But love taught me
Who was, who was, who was the boss
I?d defy
Anyone who claimed that I
Didn?t control
Whatever moved in my soul
I could tempt, touch, delight
Just because you fell for me
Why should I feel uptight
Love had to show me one thing
I was so right, so right
Thought I could turn emotion, on and off
I was so sure, I was so, so sure
But love taught me
Taught me who was, who was, the boss
Love taught me, taught me
Taught me, taught me
I was so right, so right
Thought I could turn emotion, on and off
I was so sure, so sure
But love taught me
Taught me who was, who was, the boss
Love taught me
Love taught me who was the boss
Love taught me who was the boss
Love taught me, love taught me
Summertime when will you come
I wanna put my light things on
I wanna put my winter life away
Summertime I need a sunny day
I want those peaches on the table
I want the watermelon red
And the warm sun creeping through the window
To ease me out of bed
I want the sand out there to lie on
And the sea out there to swim
So my heart can take a holiday
From breakin' over him
Summertime when will you come
I wanna put my light things on
I wanna put my winter life away
Summertime I need a sunny day
And I want to drive forever
Wanna roll the windows down
Get the breeze back on my body
Get my feet back on the ground
I want the sand out there to lie on
And the sea out there to swim
So my heart can take a holiday
From breakin' over him
Summertime when will you come
I wanna put my light things on
I wanna put my winter life away
Another day has gone, I'm still all alone
How could this be, you're not here with me
You never said goodbye, someone tell me why
Did you have to go and leave my world so cold
Every day I sit and ask myself how did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone, for I am here with you
Though you're far away, I am here to stay
For you are not alone, I am here with you
Though we're far apart, you're always in my heart
For you are not alone, alone, why
Just the other night I thought I heard you cry
Asking me to come and hold you in my arms
I can hear your prayers, your burden I will bear
But first I need your hand, then forever can begin
Every day I sit and ask myself how did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
You are not alone, for I am here with you
Though you're far away, I am here to stay
For you are not alone, I am here with you
Though we're far apart, you're always in my heart
For you are not alone
Whisper three words, then I'll come running, hey
And boy you know that I'll be there, I'll be there
You are not alone, for I am here with you
Though you're far away, I am here to stay
For you are not alone, I am here with you
Though we're far apart, you're always in my heart
You are not alone, I am here with you
Though we're far away, I am here to stay
You are not alone, I am here with you
Though we're far apart, you're always in my heart
For you are not alone
Why do fools fall in love
Why do birds sing so gay
And lovers await the break of day
Why do they fall in love
Why does the rain fall from up above
Why do fools fall in love
Why do they fall in love
Love is a losing game
Love can be a shame
I know of a fool, you see
For that fool is me
Tell me why, tell me why
Why do birds sing so gay
And lovers await the break of day
Why do they fall in love
Why does the rain fall from up above
Why do fools fall in love
Why do they fall in love
Why does my heart skip a crazy beat
For I know it will reach defeat
Tell me why, tell me why
Why do fools fall in love
Tell me why
Hey now, young mothers
How shall we raise our sons?
To live their lives in peace
And not take out the guns
Hey now, young mothers
What shall we teach them of?
To look for beauty in the world
And use the power of love
I believe, I believe
That love will see us through
I believe, ooh, I still believe
That love will see us through
Hey now, young mothers
Tell them what they must know
That truth should be in light
Wherever they may go
Hey now, young mothers
Pray that they live in grace
And share the joy of living
If for the human race
I believe, I believe
That love will see us through
I believe, ooh, I still believe
That love will see us through
Hey now, young mothers
Cherish all your sons
Now who shall put the voice to rest
The twilight falls on shadowed walls
The day dissolves into the point of no return
We cross the line with silent signs
The night seduces us of the possibilities
Can it be that, finally? Take me to the fantasies
I'm a stranger in paradise
And it's a long way to the ground
I'm a stranger in paradise
Don't let, don't let me down
The moon escapes and I awake
I lie and listen to the music of your breathing
I catch my breath, remembering
I have to touch you just to see if I'm still dreaming
What remains when night has gone
Cover me in shades of dawn
I'm a stranger in paradise
And it's a long way to the ground
I'm a stranger in paradise
Don't let, don't let me down
Can it be finally? Take me to the fantasies
I'm a stranger in paradise
And it's a long way to the ground
I'm a stranger in paradise
Don't let, don't let me down
I'm a stranger in paradise
Don't let, don't let me down
Stranger, I'm a stranger

You're giving love instinctively
Around and round you're turning me
Upside down
Boy, you turn me
Inside out

Instinctively you give to me

Upside down
Boy, you turn me
Inside out
And round and round
Upside down

As long as the sun continues to shine
There's a place in my heart for you
That's the bottom line
Upside down

This house is built
On a foundation of love
Oh, baby, this house is built
On a foundation of love, of love
Our toys are in the attic, baby
Pictures on the wall
See our memories from the days passed
In the mirror down the hall, oh, yeah
Our love will survive in a place where love will thrive
So inspired, so inspired
Palatial it may not be but it's a home and a castle to me
A dream from a magazine and we'll never give it up 'cause
This house is built
On a foundation of love
Oh, baby, this house is built
On a foundation of love, of love
I'll try to come back to you, baby
You try to comfort me
You say you love me
With all your heart, I know it's true
The days that you're feeling sad
I'll be there in a flash at the drop of a hat, oh, yeah
'Cause I want you to feel loving
You don't have to say a thing, you don't have to ask, baby
This house is built
On a foundation of love
Oh, baby, this house is built
On a foundation of love
Maybe we'll strike it rich
One day really make it big
And I know because our love is so strong
We'll always have a home
This house is built
On, of love
This house is built
On, of love
This house is built
On a foundation of love
Oh, baby, this house is built
On a foundation of love
Of love, love, of love
Oh, baby, this house of love
Love, a foundation of love, of love
This house is built
On, of love

There's a small hotel
With a wishing well
I wish that we were there, together
There's a bridal suite
Two rooms, soft and sweet
I wish that we were there together
Looking through the window
You can see a distant steeple
Not a sign of people who needs people
When the wishing well
Says goodnight sleep well
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows, a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mothers child is gonna spy
To see if reindeers really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety two
Although it's been said many times, many times
Merry Christmas to you
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mothers child is gonna spy
To see if reindeers really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety two
Although it's been said many times, many times
Stop in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Baby, baby I'm aware of where you go
Each time you leave my door
I watch you walk down the street
Knowing your other love you'll meet
But this time before you run to her
Leaving me alone and hurt
(Think it over) after I've been good to you
(Think it over) after I've been sweet to you
Stop in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over, think it over
I've known of your, your secluded nights
I've even seen her maybe once or twice
But is her sweet expression
Worth more than my loving affection
But this time before you leave my arms
And rush of to her charms
(Think it over) haven't I been good to you
(Think it over) haven't I been sweet to you
Stop in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over, think it over
I've tried so hard, hard to be patient
Hoping you'd stop this infatuation
But each time you are together
I'm so afraid I'll be losing you forever
Stop in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop in the name of love
I want the love that you deny me
That I need so desperately
The tenderness that you posses
You've deprived me
You must pay for the lonely nights
That I walked the floor for you
And don't know that you must erase
All the tearstains on my face
Surrender your love, baby
Surrender your love
Surrender your love, baby
Surrender your love
Don't you know that I'm taking my case
To the highest court of love
And these are some of the charges
You'll be found guilty of
You've used me and abused me
Till I felt like I wanted to die
You created a need in me
That only you can satisfy
Surrender your love, baby
Surrender your love
Come along peacefully
Surrender your love, baby
Surrender your love
Give it to me, ah right now, give it to me
Give it to me, give it to me all, give it to me
Ah, right now, give it to me, give it to me
Give it to me, give it to me, the whole baby
Surrender your love, baby
Surrender your love
Surrender your love, baby
Give it to me
Surrender your love
Give it to me
Surrender your love, baby
Give it to me babe
Surrender your love
You?re alone all the time
Does it ever puzzle you
Have you asked why
You seem to fall in love and out again
Do you really ever love or just pretend, oh, baby
Why fool yourself
Don?t be afraid to help yourself
It?s never too late, too late to
Stop, look, yes, listen to your heart
Hear what it?s sayin?
Stop, look, listen to your heart
Hear what it?s sayin? love, oh, love, love
Though you try, you can?t hide
All the things you really feel this time decide
That you will open up, let it in
There?s no shame in sharin? love you feel within
So jump right in head over heels and fall right in
It?s never too late, too late to
Stop, look, listen to your heart
Hear what it?s sayin?
Stop, look, oh, listen to your heart
Hear what it?s sayin? love, love, love
Darlin?, darlin?, stop and look
(Stop right now and listen to your heart)
Oh, listen to your heart hear what it?s sayin?

Stop and look and listen to your heart hear what it?s sayin?
Stop and listen to your heart right now
(Stop, look)

Oh, can?t you see that it?s not too late

Darlin?, stop and look
And listen to your heart hear what it?s sayin?
Stop, baby
(Stop right now and listen to your heart)
And listen to your heart hear what it?s sayin?
Johnny's been runnin' hard all his life
'Cause life never treated him right
Well he ain't running now
You see his eyes are closed
They can't hurt him tonight
Sleepin', he's sleepin'
Just let him be for a while
Don't wake him, don't take him
To where the people don't smile
Sleepin', my man is sleepin' nice now
Please let him stay here with me
I promise, I'll keep him
At home, where he's supposed to be
He's been out there in the street you know
And strugglin', scufflin' trying to survive
Out there in a rich man's world
And now you say my Johnny is not alive
But you're wrong, can't you see?
Sleepin', he's just sleepin' mister
Without a care to his name
He's peaceful and he's quiet
He's tired of runnin' his game
He's been out there in the streets you know
With all the pain and all the suffering
Out there where you fight like hell
He never learned a fix, don't fix a thing
Don't touch him
Johnny put too much joy in his vanes
And now you're trying to tell me he's gone
I don't believe you, I'm just gonna sit here
And rock him in my arms
You see he lives hard, kinda gives hard
Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time
I see reflections of you and me
Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me
Oh, I'm all alone now
No love to shield me
Trapped in a world
That's a distorted reality
Happiness you took from me
And left me alone
With only memories
Through the mirror of my mind
Through these tears that I'm crying
Reflects a hurt I can't control
'Cause although you're gone
I keep holding on
To the happy times
Oh, when you were mine
As I peer through the window of lost time
Looking over my yesterdays
And all the love I gave all in vain
(All the love)
All the love that I've waisted
(All the tears)
All the tears that I've tasted
All in vain
Through the hollow of my tears
I see a dream that's lost
From the hurt
That you have caused
Everywhere I turn
Seems like everything I see
Reflects the love
That used to be
In you, I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
My world has turned to dust
After all the nights
I sat alone and wept
Just a handful of promises
Are all that's left of loving you
Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me
In you, I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
You put the sparkle back in my smile
You made me want to walk a thousand miles
You let me know that it's so and everything must live
Everything must breath, now you say you must leave
You put the sparkle back in my smile, ooh baby
You made me wanna walk a thousand miles
You let me know that it's so and everything must live
Everything must breath, now you say you must leave just the other day
You seemed so content it's a joke
You thought it up the spur of the moment
Please ease my mind come on set it right
'Cause if you don't
I won't sleep a wink tonight
You put the sparkle back in my smile, ooh baby
You made me wanna walk a thousand miles
You let me know that it's so and everything must live
Everything must breath, now you say you must leave
You let me know that it's so and everything must live
Everything must breath, everything must live
In my solitude, you haunt me
With reveries of days gone by
In my solitude, you taunt me
With memories that never die
I sit in my chair filled with despair
Nobody 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 praying
Ooh, I'll remember those old love letters
Plagued with memories, I can't forget us
Trying to fight it, trying to hide it
Rekindled flames are not recommended
But it never went out, boy, it never ended
Trying to fight it, trying to hide it
Your love it shines
In a cruel hard world, it's a miracle to find
Someone good, someone whose love it shines
Your love it shines
Here in this apartment with oh, too many rooms
Pearls once meant something, they brought me only gloom
Trying to fight it, trying to hide it
Rekindled flames are not recommended
But it never went out, boy, it never ended
Crime can fight it, lies can hide it
Your love it shines
In a cruel hard world, it's a miracle to find
Someone good, someone whose love it shines
Your love it shines
You'd better shine it up
You'd better shine it up
You'd better shine it up
You'd better shine it up
In a cruel hard world, it's a miracle to find
Someone good, someone whose love it shines
Long ago, far away
Life was clear, close your eyes
Remember, is a place from long ago
Remember, filled with everything you know
Remember, when you're sad and feelin' down
Remember, turn around
Remember, life is just a memory
Remember, close your eyes and you can see
Remember, think of all that life can be, remember
Dream, love is only in a dream, remember
Remember life is never as it seems, dream
Dream, love is only in a dream, remember
Remember life is never as it seems, dream
Ooh, long ago, far away
Life was clear, close your eyes
Paradise is what you're looking for
Paradise is what you're looking for
Are you looking for some place you can be free?
Are you looking, looking for someone you want to be?
You ran away from home girl, searching for your Shangri-la
Wherever you may roam girl in my mind you won't be far
Paradise is what you're looking for
Paradise is what you're looking for
You're a prisoner inside a gilded cage
You keep praying sayin' there must be a better way
You've got the best intentions of this I don't have any doubts
I can't help but to mention don't you know what life's about
Paradise is what you're looking for
Paradise is what you're looking for
Paradise
Paradise
Are you looking for some place you can be free?
Are you looking, looking for someone you want to be?
Paradise is what you're looking for
Paradise is what you're looking for
Paradise is what you're looking for
Paradise is what you're looking for
Paradise, paradise, paradise
Paradise, paradise, paradise
Paradise is what you're looking for
Tell me who, what, when, where did it start
Tell me when, where, how did you get in my heart
I feel your love washing over me
In waves of emotion so strong
I want to say while I've got the chance
In the words of this song
You're my one shining moment
You are all my dreams come true
Honey, you're my one shining moment
And if I never have another
I'm glad that I've known you
You fill up for me all the empty spaces
All the pain I’ve ever felt, you've erased it
Is it any wonder, no way
That I'm growing fonder every day
There's a freedom that I never knew
And it's all because of you, honey
You're my one shining moment
You are all, all my dreams come true
Honey, you're my one shining moment
And if I never have another
I'm glad that I've known you
I wake up with you on my mind
You light up my day
There is nothing better I can find
Oh, my love, I'm so proud that I can say, hey
You're my one shining moment
You are all my dreams come true
Wrapped into one under the sun
Honey, you're my one shining moment
And if I never have another
I'm glad that I've known you
(And if I never have another
I'm glad that I've known you)
If I never have another
I’m glad that I’ve known you
Shine, shine, shine shining moment
Every season of my life
People say it, she go far
I exceeded what was needed
Don't you wanna know, what I came here for
Turn the lights way down
I will find you somewhere in the dark
I'm lying with you, you're lying with me
I wanna to show you what I know so far
By doing it right
I'm working on my design
I'm making love with a friend of mine
I won't [Incomprehensible] start
Oh teacher, you get the test of my love
No matter what you learn
Oh teacher, you got the best time, the last time
But this time you're gonna get burned
Oh teacher, you made me study all night
After the end of term
Oh teacher, you've got the first time, the last time
But this time you're gonna get burned
Walk, think, act as the book to you defines
Reach out for the one you love
It may be someone you left behind
You're the reason that I breathe
You're the savior of my nights
I'll never let you out of sight
You're gonna be mine, I've got a wider range
We keep the system but the rules may change
My lips are wetter, I do it better
And if you let me I will help you grow
Baby, don't say no
Oh teacher, you get the test of my love
No matter what you learn
Oh teacher, you've got the best time, the last time
But this time you're gonna get burned
Oh teacher, you made me study all night
After the end of term
Oh teacher, you've got the first time, the last time
But this time you're gonna get burned
Talk, move, smile do it right, we know the way
Watch out for the danger lies
In any game that you wanna play
In any game
Oh teacher, you get the test of my love
No matter what you learn
Oh teacher, you've got the best time, the last time
But this time you're gonna get burned
Oh teacher, you made me study all night
After the end of term
Oh teacher, you've got the first time, the last time
But this time you're gonna get burned
Oh teacher, teacher
Until the end of term
Oh teacher, teacher the first time, the last time
But this time you're gonna get burned
My world is empty without you, babe
My world is empty without you, babe
And as I go my way alone
I find it hard for me to carry on
I need your strength, I need your tender touch
I need the love, my dear, I miss so much
My world is empty without you, babe
My world is empty without you, babe
From this old world I try to hide my face
But from this loneliness there's no hiding place
Inside this cold and empty house I dwell
In darkness with memories I know so well
I need love now more then before
I can hardly carry on any more
My world is empty without you, babe
Without you, babe, without you, babe
My mind and soul have felt like this
Since love between us no more exists
And each time that darkness falls
It finds me alone with these four walls
My world is empty without you, babe
Without you, babe, without you, babe
Without you, babe, without you, babe
The best things in life are free
But you can give them to the birds and bees
I need money, that's what I want
That's what I want, yeah, that's what I want
Your love gives me a thrill
But your love can't pay my bill
I need money, that's what I want
That's what I want, yeah, that's what I want
Money, lots of money
Whole lot of money, lots of money
That's what I want, yeah, that's what I want
Money don't get everything it's true
What it don't get, I can't use
I need money, that's what I want
That's what I want, yeah, that's what I want
That's what I want, yeah, that's what I want
Money, money is what I want
A whole lot of lean green, that's what I want
Give me money, money is what I want, that's what I want
Well now give me money, wow, money
Wow, yeah, you need money now, give me money
My love was in a storm
The bitter wind was blowin' around me
I'd sit and cry but
By and by it just faded away
Rainbow, painted skies
Brought a smile into my eyes
The scent of flowers filled the air
I turned around and you were there
Hey, you made me see
That love is the key
To make the sun shine
For me
Ooh, since you came
I feel like lovin' again
I feel like livin' again
And I feel like givin' again
Ooh ooh, since you came
I feel like lovin' again
And I feel like livin' again
And I feel like givin' again, hoo hoo
One kiss is worth a thousand sighing words
When you're lonely
I saw you smile, it was warm
Now I see beyond the storm
Clouds are fading fast
And there goes the sad and bitter past
You touched my life when no one cared
You did the things that no one dared
You've opened doors
You've made me see
That love is the key
To make the sun shine
For me
Ooh, since you came
I feel like lovin' again
And I feel like livin' again
And I feel like givin' givin' again
Since you came
I feel like lovin' again
And I feel like livin' again
And I feel like givin' again
Feel
Feel it feel it
Feel
Feel it feel it
Feel
Feel it feel it
Feel
Since you came
I feel like lovin' again
And I feel like livin' again
And I feel like givin' again
Since you came
I feel like lovin' again
And I feel like livin' again
And I feel like givin' again
Diana Ross & Lionel Richie
My love, there's only you in my life
The only thing that's right
My first love, you're every breath that I take
You're every step I make
And I, I want to share all my love with you
No-one else will do
And your eyes they tell me how much you care
Oh yes, you will always be my endless love
Two hearts, two hearts that beat as one
Our lives have just begun
And forever I'll hold you close in my arms
I can't resist your charms
And love, I'd play the fool for you
I'm sure you know I don't mind
Cos you, you mean the world to me
Oh, I know I've found in you my endless love
And love, I'll be that fool for you
I'm sure that you know I don't mind
And yes, you'll be the only one
Cos no-one can deny this love I have inside
And I'll give it all to you
My love, my love, my love
Keep falling in and out of love
In search for what I’m dreaming of
I long to find a love I’m sure about
That certain kind of love that moves all doubts
Keep falling in and out of love
Still searching for that special one
To whom I can give my love completely
And feel a lasting love so sweetly
Just when I feel sure love’s here to stay
It seems to suddenly just fade away
Can’t seem to find that everlasting love
That this heart of mine needs so much of
Keep falling in and out of love
Can’t seem to find the lasting kind
It seems I can’t find the joy I need
Love always somehow all goes wrong for me
Keep falling in and out of love
Keep falling in and out of love
Ooh, I keep reaching out for tenderness
Touching a hand that holds emptiness
Well I’m looking for a love that lingers on
Long after that first kiss is gone
That kind of love that keeps burning bright
Long after we’ve said goodnight
Keep falling in and out of love
In search for what I’m dreaming of
Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try
No people below us, above it's only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries, it isn't hard to do
No need to kill or die for and no religions too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger a brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing for the world
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
Take my hand and join us
Lady sings the blues
She got them bad, she feels so sad
Wants the world to know
Just what the blues is all about
The blues ain't nothing
But a pain in your heart
When you got a bad start
You and your man have to part
Does he love me, I wanna know
How can I tell if he loves me so
(Is it in his eyes) oh no, you'll be deceived
(Is it in his eyes) oh no, he'll make believe
If you wanna know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss
(Or is it in his face) oh no, it's just his charm
(In his warm embrace) oh no, that's just his arms
If you wanna know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss (that’s where it is)
Oh, it’s in his kiss (that’s where it is)
Oh, kiss him and squeeze him tight
And find out what you wanna know
If it's love, if it really is
It's there in his kiss
(How ‘bout the way he acts) oh no, that's not the way
And you're not listening to all I say
If you wanna know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss (that’s where it is)
Oh yeah, it’s in his kiss (that’s where it is)
Oh, kiss him and squeeze him tight
And find out what you wanna know
If it's love, if it really is
It's there in his kiss
(How ‘bout the way he acts) oh no, that's not the way
And you're not listening to all I say
If you wanna know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss (that’s where it is)
Oh yeah, it’s in his kiss (that’s where it is)
I'm gonna do all the things for you, a girl wants a man to do
Oh, baby (oh, baby)
I'll sacrifice for you, I'll even do wrong for you
Oh, baby (oh, baby)
Every minute, every hour
I'm gonna shower you with love and affection
Look out it's coming in your direction
And I'm, I'm gonna make you love me
Oh, yes I will, yes I will
I'm gonna make you love me
Oh, yes I will, yes I will
Looky here, my love is strong, you see
I know you'll never get tired of me
Oh, baby (oh baby)
And I'm gonna use every trick in the book
I'll try my best to get you hooked
Hey, baby (hey baby)
And every night, every day I'm gonna say
I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you
Look out boy cos I'm gonna get you
I'm gonna make you love me
Ooh, yes I will, yes I will
And I'm gonna make you love me
Ooh, yes I will, you know I will
Every breath I take
And each and every step I make
Brings me closer, baby, closer to you
And with each beat of my heart
For every day we’re apart
I’ll hunger for every wasted hour
And I, every night and every day
I’m gonna get you, I’m gonna get you
Look out cos I’m gonna get you
And I’m gonna make, I’m gonna make you love me
Yes I will, yes I will
Ooh, I'm gonna make you love me
Yes I will, yes I will
I'm gonna make you love me
Yes I will, yes I will
I'm gonna make you love me
Maybe you wanna give me kisses sweet
But only for one night and no repeat
Then maybe you'll go away and never call, hey
And a taste of honey is worse than none at all
Oh little boy, in that case I don't want no part
Cos I know that it will only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like loving me, if you got the notion
I second that emotion
Said, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion
Maybe you think that love will tie you down
And you don’t have the time to hang around
Or maybe you think that love was made for fools
And so it makes you wise to break the rules
Oh little girl, in that case I don't want no part
That would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like loving me, if you got the notion
I second that emotion
Said, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion
Ooh little boy, in that case I don't want no part
I do believe that that would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like loving me, if you got the notion
I second that emotion
Said, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion
Momma’s cooking bread
She wore a dirty raggedy scarf around her head
Always had her stockings low, low to her feet
She just didn’t know
She wore a sloppy dress
Oh, no matter how she tried she always looked a mess
Out of the pot she ate, never used a fork or a dinner plate
I was always so afraid that my up-town friends would see her
Afraid one day when I was grown that I would be her
In a college town
Away from home a new identity I found
Said I was born at least with maids and servants at my feet
I must have been insane
I lied and said Mama died on a weekend trip to Spain
She never got out of the house, never even boarded a train
Man of god was living high, I didn’t want him to know her
She had a grandson two years old that I’d never even shown her
I’m living in shame, Momma I miss you
I know you’re not to blame, Momma I miss you
Came a telegram
Momma passed away while making home-made jam
Before she died she cried to see me by her side
She always did her best
Oh, cooking, cleaning, always in the same old dress
Working hard down on her knees, always trying to please
Momma, Momma, Momma can you hear me
Momma, Momma, Momma can you hear me
I’m living in shame, Momma I miss you
I know you’ve done your best, Momma I miss you
Won’t you forgive me, Momma, for all the wrong I’ve done
I know you’ve done your best, ooh
I know you’ve done the very best you could
But I never understood
Working hard down on your knees
You've given me a true love
And every day I thank you love
For a feeling that's so new
So inviting, so exciting
Whenever you're near I hear a symphony
A tender melody
Pulling me closer, closer to your arms
Then suddenly, ooh your lips are touching mine
A feeling so divine til I leave the past behind
I'm lost in a world made for you and me
Whenever you're near I hear a symphony
Played sweet and tenderly
Every time your lips meet mine now baby
Baby, baby you bring much joy within
Don't let this feeling end
Let it go on and on and on now baby
Baby, baby those tears that fill my eyes
I cry not for myself
But for those who never felt the joy we felt
Whenever you're near I hear a symphony
Each time you speak to me
I hear a tender rhapsody of love now
Baby, baby as you stand holding me
Whispering how much you care
A thousand violins fill the air now
Baby, baby don't let this moment end
Keep standing close to me
Ooh, so close to me, baby, baby
Baby, baby I hear a symphony
When I think of home
I think of a place where there's love overflowing
I wish I was home
I wish I was back there with the
Things I´ve been knowing
Wind that makes the tall grass bend into leaning
Suddenly the raindrops that fall have a meaning
Sprinklin' the sea, makes it all clear
Maybe there's a chance for me to go back
Now that I have some direction
It would be sure nice to be back home
Where there's love and affection
And just maybe I can convince time to slow up
Giving me enough time in my life to grow up
Time, be my friend
Let me start again
Suddenly my world´s gone and changed it's face
But I still know where I'm going
I have had my mind spun around in space
And yet I've watched it growing
Oh If you're list'ning God
Please don't make it hard to know
If we should believe in things that we see
Tell us, should we run away should we try and stay
Or would it be better just to let things be?
Living here, in this brand new world
Might be a fantasy
But it taught me to love
So it's real, real, real to me
And I've learned
That we must look inside our hearts
To find a world full of love
Like yours
Like mine
Hey, everybody

Money won't be enough
When the going get's tough, it's rough

If you don't believe what I say
Just experiment one day
I think that you will agree
That we need some kind of relief, relief, relief
Have fun again

We've been goin' through the motions
There's more to life, oh ooh oh ooh oh
Than goin' through the motions
Our love's on the line
Play the game, everything stays the same
A masquerade only ourselves to blame
Love taken for granted fades each passing day
We need more affection
I don't want to let you slip away, woah
We've been goin' through the motions
There's more to life, oh ooh oh ooh oh
Than goin' through the motions
Our love's on the line
You and I shouldn't lose our direction
We can't deny, love could use more attention
We've traveled too far to let the feeling fade
This time we can change it 'cause
Dreams and passion are a breath away, woah
We've been goin' through the motions
There's more to life, oh ooh oh ooh oh
Than goin' through the motions
Our love's on the line
Goin' through the motions
Goin' through the motions
Oh ooh oh ooh oh, oh ooh oh ooh oh
Oh ooh oh ooh oh, oh ooh oh ooh oh
We traveled too far to let the feeling fade
This time we can change it 'cause
Dreams and passion are a breath away, woah woah
We've been goin' through the motions
There's more to life, oh ooh oh ooh oh
Than goin' through the motions
Our love's on the line
We've traveled too far to let the feeling fade
This time we can change it 'cause
Dreams and passion are a breath away, woah
We've been goin' through the motions
But there's more to life, oh ooh oh ooh oh
Than goin' through the motions
Our love's on the line
Been, been goin' through the motions
There's more to life, oh ooh oh ooh oh
Than goin' through the motions
Our love's on the line, our love's on the line
Give up, give up
Give up your love to me
Give up, give up
Give up your love to me
You better listen well
When I tell you to be on the look out
You can't call for help
'Cause I know you inside out despite all your hideouts
I'm no great pretender
I'll make you surrender so come along quietly
Here's a thought to remember
I have not met a man yet to escape from my drag-net
Give up, give up
Give up your love to me
Give up, give up
Give up your love to me
Give up, give up
Give up your love to me
Give up, give up
Give up your love to me
I'll give you just the facts man
And you can draw all your own conclusions
I'll keep your mind surrounded
With chains of love so strong, you can't break through them
My arsenal is stocked
With all kinds of seductive weapons
Although your heart's locked up
My love will assist me so that you can't resist me
Give up, give up
Give up your love to me
Give up, give up
Give up your love to me
Give up, give up
Give up your love to me
Give up, give up
Give up your love to me
Give up, give up

Up in Harlem every Saturday night
Where the highbrows get together, just to write
They all congregate at an all-night hack
What they do is ooh papa dah
Ol' Hannah Brown, way cross town
Gets full of corn and starts brining 'em down
And at the break of day
You can hear ol' Hannah say
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer
Send me daddy, move right down
I feel just like I wanna clown
Give the piano player a drink
Because he's bringing me down
He's got rhythm, when he stomps his feet
He moves me right off to sleep
Check all your razors and your guns
We're gonna be arrested when the wagon comes
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer
Send me 'cause I don't care
I want a pigfoot and a bottle of gin
Send me daddy, move right in
Feel just like I wanna shop
Give the piano player a drink
Because he's knocking me out
He's got rhythm when he stomps his feet
He moves me right off to sleep
Check all your razors and your guns
We're gonna do the huckabuck until the rising sun
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of gin
Move me 'cause I don't care
I swiped my dance card once after an audition
And on a scale of then they gave me
For dance, ten, for looks, three
Well, dance, ten, looks, three
And I'm still on unemployment
Dancing for my own enjoyment
That ain't it, kid, that ain't it, kid
Dance, ten, looks, three
It's like to die!
Left the theater and called the doctor
For my appointment to buy
Tits and ass
Bought myself a fancy pair
Tightened up the derriere
Did the nose with it, all that goes with it
Tits and ass
Had the bingo-bongos done
Suddenly I'm getting national tours
Tits and ass won't get you jobs unless they're yours
Didn't cost a fortune neither
Didn't hurt my sex life either
Flat and sassy
I would get the strays and losers
Beggars really can't be choosers
That ain't it, kid, that ain't it, kid
Fixed the chassis
How do you do
Life turned into and endless medley
Of 'Gee it had to be you', why?
Tits and ass
Where the cupboard once was bare
Now you knock and someone's there
You have got 'em, hey, top to bottom, hey
It's a gas, just a dash of silicone
Shake your new maracas and you're fine
Tits and ass can change your life
They sure changed mine
You're all looking at my tits now, aren't you?
Have it all done
Honey, take my word
Grab a cab, c'mon, see the wizard on
Park and Seventy-Third
For tits and ass
Orchestra and balcony
What they want is what you see
Keep the best of you, do the rest of you
Pits or class
I have never seen it fail
Debutante or chorus girl or wife
Tits and ass, yes, tits and ass
Way back in '29, 1929, somewhere in Coffeeville
Was a Honky tonk named Big Mable Murphy
She had a sweetheart, mean Little Melvin
And hell would fly between them every Saturday night
Why? Because Little Melvin, he got wild on bathtub gin
Well, it made him feel like he was almost twice his size
So he'd try to take over and sass Big Mable
But her great big fist would black little Melvin's eyes
Ya see, Big Mable Murphy, she loved her Little Melvin
But he never did learn to do just what she said
'Cause poor Little Melvin, woke up early every morning
With two black eyes and knuckle bumps on his head
Late one rainy night, Scarface, muscle and all might
He came in and started shoving everybody around
Well, Big Mable Murphy, she was way back in the kitchen
So just for fun, ol' Scarface shot Little Melvin down
Early next morning, down by the river
They say, old Scarface was found real short of breath
They say, he died, uhh, oh, the man died from a good ol' whipping
He had two black eyes and knuckle bumps on his head
Big Mable, Big Mable Murphy
Everything has its season
Everything has its time
Show me a reason
And I'll soon show you a rhyme
Cats sit on the window sill
Children sit in the show
Why do I feel I don't fit in
Anywhere I go?
Rivers belong where they can ramble
Eagles belong where they can fly
I've got to be where my spirit can run free
Gotta find my corner, ooh, of the sky
Every man has his daydream
Every man has his goal
People like the way dreams have of
Sticking to the soul
Thunder clouds have their lightning
Nightingales have their song
And don't you see I want my life
To be something more than long, yeah
Rivers belong where they can ramble, oh, yeah, yeah
Eagles belong where they can fly
I've got to be where my spirit can run free
Gotta find my corner, ooh, of the sky, of the sky
So many men seem destined
To settle for something small
But I, I won't rest
Until I know, I have it all
So don't ask where I'm going
But listen when I'm gone
Far away you'll hear me singing
Softly to the dawn
Oh, rivers belong where they can ramble
Oh, eagles belong where they can fly
I've got to be where my spirit can run free, yeah
Gotta find my corner, ooh, of the sky, yeah
Rivers belong where they can ramble
Oh, eagles belong where they can fly
(Fly high)
Oh, I've got to be where my spirit can run free
Gotta find my corner
Gotta find my corner, yes I do
Gotta find my corner
Gotta find my corner of the sky, sky
(I've got to be where my spirit can run free)
Gotta find my corner of the sky, sky
(I've got to be where my spirit can run free)
Well, hello there, good old friend of mine
You've been reaching for yourself for such a long time
There's so much to say, no need to explain
Just an open door for you to come in from the rain
It's a long road when you're all alone
And a man like you will always choose the long way home
There's no right or wrong, I'm not here to blame
I just want to be the one who keeps you from the rain, from the rain
And it looks like sunny skies
Now that I know you're alright
Time has left us older and wiser, I know I am
Cos I think of us like an old cliché
But it doesn't matter cos I love you anyway
Come in from the rain
And it looks like sunny skies
Now that I know you're alright
Time has left us older and wiser, I know I am
And it's good to know
My best friend has come home again
Cos I think of us like an old cliché
But it doesn't matter cos I love you anyway
Come in from the rain
Come in from the rain
You're trying to tell me something every time I come near
I got a feeling the message is the one I don't want to hear
You can deny all you want to but I know you enough to know
Why not come right out and say it, you've been trying to let me down slow
So let's talk before the tears drop
You've had a change of heart
Well I guess that's up to you
I couldn't change my heart even if I wanted to
You've had a change of heart
Your kiss sends a message and I detect the signs
I got enough understanding of a lover to realise
That you can't make him love you, though I give you my best
You're keeping your heart at a distance and it breaks me up to confess
Change of heart, well I guess that's up to you
I couldn't change my heart even if I wanted to
Change of heart, baby, everyone to talk to
You've had a change of heart
Is this just a notion, a phase that will pass
A mixed up emotion, or is this change gonna last
Baby, let's talk before the tears drop
You've had a change of heart
Well I guess that's up to you
I couldn't change my heart even if I wanted to
Change of heart, everyone to talk to
You've had a change of heart
Am I losing you, ooh
Change of heart
I couldn't change my heart
Am I losing you, losing you
I couldn't change my heart
You’ve had a change of heart
Now that you're gone
All that's left is a band of gold
All that's left of the dreams I hold
Is a band of gold
And the memories of what love could be
If you were still here with me
You took me from the shelter of my mother
I had never known or loved any other
We kissed after taking vows
But that night on our honeymoon
We stayed in separate rooms
I wait in the darkness of my lonely room
Filled with sadness, filled with gloom
Hoping soon that you'll walk back through that door
And love me like you tried before
Since you've been gone
All that's left is a band of gold
All that's left of the dreams I hold
Is a band of gold
And the dream of what love could be
If you were still here with me
Oh don't you know that I wait
In the darkness of my lonely room
Filled with sadness, filled with gloom
Hoping soon that you'll walk back through that door
And love me like you tried before
Since you've been gone
All that's left is a band of gold
All that's left of the dreams I hold
Is a band of gold
And the dream of what love could be
If you were still here with me
Since you've been gone
All that's left is a band of gold
All that's left of the dreams I hold
You say you're steady and you're committed
But last night you weren't around when I needed you
You keep on talkin', but I need action
This divided affection just won't do
I hate to give you an ultimatum
But when I'm in love, I want it all the way
That's the bottom line
If you really wanna keep my love
Can't be givin' up what's mine
Oh, that's the bottom line
I can't settle for a part time thing
Need your lovin' all the time
No imitations, give me the real thing
Sugar-coated promises are not enough for me
'Cause if you're fakin', don't be mistaken
I'll be out the door, before you count to three
I hate to sound uncompromising
But I'm never gonna play nobody's fool
Oh, that's the bottom line
If you really wanna keep my love
Can't be givin' up what's mine
Oh, that's the bottom line
I can't settle for a part-time thing
Need your lovin' all the time
If you really wanna get my love
You gotta give me your lovin', no strings attached
If you really wanna keep my heart
You gotta jump it and do it, no turning back
And I hate to sound uncompromising
But I'm never gonna play nobody's fool
Oh, that's the bottom line
If you really wanna keep my love
Can't be givin' up what's mine
Oh, that's the bottom line
I can't settle for a part-time thing
Need your lovin' all the time
That's the bottom line
If you really wanna keep my love
Can't be givin' up what's mine
Oh, that's the bottom line
I can't settle for a part-time thing
Need your lovin' all the time
That's the bottom line
If you really wanna keep my love
Can't be givin' up what's mine
Oh, that's the bottom line
I can't settle for a part-time thing
All of my life I have walked alone in search of a star
You are that star
You're the one I've waited for
You're the one I've waited for
All of my life there's a song to sing, a chorus for two
All that love can bring I'll share here with you
You can make it all come true
So darling, all of your life to share is all I'm asking
All of the minutes and the years
All of your happiness and sometimes all your tears
So darling, all of my life to share is all I give you
All of the flowers in the field
We'll walk together through the sunsets and the years
So darling, all of my life to share is all I'll give you
And all of the flowers in the field
We'll walk together through the sunsets and the years
All of my life there's a song to sing, a chorus for two
All that love can bring I'll share here with you
You can make it all come true
So darling, all of my life to share is all I'm asking
All of the minutes and the years
All of your happiness and sometimes all your tears
So darling, all of my life to share is all I give you
All of the flowers in the field
Ooh baby love, my baby love
I need you, oh how I need you
But all you do is treat me bad
Break my heart and leave me sad
Tell me, what did I do wrong
To make you stay away so long
Cos baby love, my baby love
Been missing ya, miss kissing ya
Instead of breaking up
Let's do some kissing and making up
Don't throw our love away
In my arms why don't you stay
Need ya, need ya
Baby love, ooh, baby love
Baby love, my baby love
Why must we separate, my love
All of my whole life through
I never loved no-one but you
Why you do me like you do
I get this need
Ooh, ooh, need to hold you
Once again, my love
Feel your warm embrace, my love
Don't throw our love away
Please don't do me this way
Not happy like I used to be
Loneliness has got the best of
Me, my love, my baby love
I need you, oh how I need you
Why you do me like you do
After I've been true to you
So deep in love with you
Baby, baby, ooh til it's hurting me
Til it's hurting me
Ooh, baby love
Don't throw our love away
Ave Maria, maiden mild
Oh, listen to a maiden's prayer
For thou can't hear amid the wild
This thou, this thou can't save amid, despair
We slumber safe until tomorrow
Though we by man outcast relieved
Oh, maiden, see a maiden's sorrow
Oh, mother, hear a suppliant child
Ave Maria
Ave Maria, gracia plena
Maria, gracia plena
Maria, gracia plena
Ave, ave dominus
Dominus tecum
Benedicta tu in mulieribus
Et benedictus
Et benedictus fructus ventris
Ventris tuae, Jesus
Fancy me
Thought I had my degree
In life and how love
Ought to be a run
I had a one step plan to prove it
Guide in my pocket for fools
Folly and fun
Love had to show me one thing
I was so right, so right
Thought I could turn emotion, on and off
I was so sure, so sure
But love taught me
Who was, who was, who was the boss
I?d defy
Anyone who claimed that I
Didn?t control
Whatever moved in my soul
I could tempt, touch, delight
Just because you fell for me
Why should I feel uptight
Love had to show me one thing
I was so right, so right
Thought I could turn emotion, on and off
I was so sure, I was so, so sure
But love taught me
Taught me who was, who was, the boss
Love taught me, taught me
Taught me, taught me
I was so right, so right
Thought I could turn emotion, on and off
I was so sure, so sure
But love taught me
Taught me who was, who was, the boss
Love taught me
Love taught me who was the boss
Love taught me who was the boss
Love taught me, love taught me
(Jennings/Davis)
Everytime I feel how life goes by
I recall the scenes that never die
One fine day
One fine night
You loving me
On and on and on
We took our love as far as love can go
You've given me the best years of my life
When I play my memories again
I feel all the pleasure and the pain
Love can hurt
Love can heal
Oh, how we hurt and healed ourselves again
We took our souls as far as souls can go
You've given me the best years of my life
You've given me the best years of my life
Bring on the storm
We'll see it through
We'll take it all
All life can do
Right to the end
We'll say let's begin
You've given me the best years of my life
I wanna thank you
I wanna thank you
You've given me the best years of my life
I wanna thank you
You've changed
That 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 kiss is now 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 ignore every star above you
I can't realize you ever cared
You've changed
You're not the angel I once knew
No need to tell me that we're through
It's all over now
Don't lose your way with each passing day
You've come so far, don't throw it away
Live believing dreams are for weaving
Wonders are waiting to start
Live your story, faith, hope and glory
Hold to the truth in your heart
If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by for you and I
Souls in the wind must learn how to bend
Seek out a star, hold on to the end
Valley, mountain, there is a fountain
Washes our tears all away
Words are swaying, someone is praying
Please let us come home to stay
If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by for you and I
When we are out there in the dark
We'll dream about the sun
In the dark we'll feel the light
Warm our hearts, everyone
If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
As high as souls can fly
(Ashford/Simpson)
When I was just a little girl
I wanted the world at my feet
Now all that's changed
Cause I have loved and
Now I do concede
(You're all I need to get by)
(You're all I need to get by)
Like the sweet morning dew
I took one look at you,
And it was plain to see
You were my destiny
With my arms open wide
I threw away my pride
I'll sacrifice for you
Dedicate my life to you
I will go where you lead
Always there in time of need
And when you lose your will
I'll be there to push you up the hill
There's no
No looking back for us
We got love sure enough
That's enough
You're all
You're all I need to get by
Like an eagle protects his nest
For you I'll do my best
Stand by you like a tree
Dare anybody to try and move me
Darling in you I found
Strength where I was torn down
Don't know what's in store
But together we can open any door
Just to do what's good for you
And inspire you a little higher
I know you can make a woman
Out of a soul that didn't have a goal
Cause we, we got the right foundation
And with love and determination
You're all, You're All I need to get by.
You're all I want to strive for and do a little more
All the joys under the sun wrapped up into one
You're all
You're all I need
You're all I need
You're all I need to get by
You're all I need to get by
You're all I need to get by
All I need to get by...
Set me free, why don’t you baby
Get out my life, why don’t you baby
Cos you don’t really love me
You just keep me hanging on
You don’t really need me
But you keep me hanging on
Why do you keep coming around
Playing with my heart
Why don’t you get outta my life
And let me make a new start
Let me get over you the way you’ve gotten over me
Hey, set me free, why don’t you baby
Let me be, why don’t you baby
Cos you don’t really love me
You just keep me hanging on
No, you don’t really want me
You just keep me hanging on
You say although we broke up
You still wanna be just friends
But how can we still be friends
When seeing you only breaks my heart again
And there ain’t nothing I can do about it
Whoa, set me free, why don’t you baby
Get out my life, why don’t you baby
Set me free, why don’t you baby
Get out my life, why don’t you baby
You claim you still care for me
But your heart and soul needs to be free
But now that you’ve got your freedom
You wanna still hold on to me
You don’t want me for yourself
So let me find somebody else
Hey, hey, why don’t you be a man about it
And set me free
No, you don’t care a thing about me
You’re just using me
Go on, get up, get outta my life
And let me sleep at night
Cos you don’t really love me
I need love, love, to ease my mind
I need to find, find someone to call mine
But Momma said
You can’t hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It’s a game of give and take
You can’t hurry love
No, you just have to wait
You gotta trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes
But how many heartaches must I stand
Before I find a love to let me live again
Right now the only thing that keeps me hanging on
When I feel my strength, yeah it’s almost gone
I remember Momma said
You can’t hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It’s a game of give and take
How long must I wait
How much more must I take
Before loneliness will cause my heart
Heart to break
No I cant bear to live my life alone
I grow impatient for a love to call my own
But when I feel that I, I can’t go on
These precious words keeps me hanging on
I remember Momma said
You can’t hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It’s a game of give and take
You can’t hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes
No, love, love, don't come easy
But I keep on waiting, anticipating
For that soft voice to talk to me at night
For some tender arms to hold me tight
I keep waiting, I keep on waiting
But it ain't easy, it ain't easy
When Momma said
You cant hurry love, no, you just have to wait
She said trust, give it time, no matter how long it takes
You can’t hurry love, no, you just have to wait
Oh darling, I want to be everything to you
You are everything, ooh, ooh, you are everything
Today I saw somebody who looked just like you
He walked like you do, I thought it was you
As he turned the corner I called out your name
I felt so ashamed when it wasn't you, wasn't you
You are everything and everything is you
Oh, you are everything and everything is you
Oh, you are everything and everything is you
Oh hey, how can I forget when each face that I see
Brings back memories of being with you
Oh darling, I just can't go on living life as I do
Comparing each girl with you, oh and they just won't do
They're not you, no, no baby
You are everything and everything is you
Oh, you are everything and everything is you
Oh, you are everything and everything is you
You, oh you are everything
You, you are everything
Oh, oh you are everything
Ooh you are everything
Oh, oh ooh, you are, you are everything
I'm workin' overtime, dedicated to you
Gonna cross that thin line, hope you don't disapprove
'Cause I'm workin' overtime, got to make a new start
'Cause I'm workin' overtime, workin' hard
Boy, you've got to think
What your priorities are really all about
It's such a crazy world, we're on the brink
There'll be no turning back once we've set out
So much left to do and so little time
Just read the news to see today's headlines
One idea can last forever
And here's the only way that I can prove it
I'm workin' overtime, dedicated to you
Gonna cross that thin line, hope you don't disapprove
'Cause I'm workin' overtime, got to make a new start
'Cause I'm workin' overtime, workin' hard
Boy, I found a way
To raise the level of my self esteem
When I was just a girl, I learned how to say
I will be proud I see a me that will always achieve
One idea can last forever
And here's the only way that I can prove it
I'm workin' overtime, dedicated to you
Gonna cross that thin line, hope you don't disapprove
'Cause I'm workin' overtime, got to make a new start
'Cause I'm workin' overtime, workin'
When you want someone, I'll be there for you
And when you need someone, I'm dependable
When your world is falling apart, you can lean on me
And nothing will come between our hearts for all eternity
One idea can last forever
And it's the only way that I can prove it
I'm workin' overtime, dedicated to you
Gonna cross that thin line, hope you don't disapprove
'Cause I'm workin' overtime, got to make a new start
'Cause I'm workin' overtime, workin' hard
I'm workin' overtime, dedicated to you
Gonna cross that thin line, hope you don't disapprove
'Cause I'm workin' overtime, got to make a new start
'Cause I'm workin' overtime, workin'
'Cause I'm workin' overtime, dedicated to you
Gonna cross that thin line, hope you don't disapprove
'Cause I'm workin' overtime, got to make a new start
Baby, baby, baby don't leave me
Ooh, please don't leave all by myself
I've got this burning, burning, yearning feeling inside me
Ooh, deep inside me, and it hurts so bad
You came into my heart so tenderly
With a burning love that stings like a bee
Now that I’ve surrendered so helplessly
You now wanna leave, ooh you wanna leave me
Ooh, baby, baby, baby where did our love go
Ooh, don't you want me, don't you want me no more
Ooh baby
Baby, baby where did our love go
And all your promises of a love forever more
I've got this burning, burning, yearning feeling inside me
Ooh, deep inside me, and it hurts so bad
Ooh, before you won my heart you were a perfect guy
And now that you got me you wanna leave me behind
Ooh, baby, baby, baby, baby, don’t leave me
Ooh, please don't leave me all by myself
I wanna call the stars down from the sky
I wanna live a day that never dies
I wanna change the world only for you
All the impossible I wanna do
I wanna hold you close under the rain
I wanna kiss your smile and feel the pain
I know what's beautiful looking at you
In a world of lies you are the truth
And baby, every time you touch me I become a hero
I’ll make you safe no matter where you are
And bring you everything you ask for, nothing is above me
I’m shining like a candle in the dark when you tell me that you love me
I wanna make you see just what I was
Show you the loneliness and what it does
You walked into my life to stop my tears
Everything's easy now I have you here
And baby, every time you touch me I become a hero
I’ll make you safe no matter where you are
And bring you everything you ask for, nothing is above me
I’m shining like a candle in the dark when you tell me that you love me
In a world without you I will always hunger
All I need is your love to make me stronger
And baby, every time you touch me I become a hero
I’ll make you safe no matter where you are
And bring you everything you ask for, nothing is above me
I’m shining like a candle in the dark when you tell me that you love me
By: Andy Hill & Pete Sinfield
I need you like freedom.
I feel you like rain.
I see you like silver rails across an endless plain.
And, I know there are moments
you feel as I do
that's why I'm waiting for you.
This time around I won't push for an answer.
Both of us need to be sure
to be strong.
When the moment comes
I'll be your dancer
I'll be your singer
and your song.
When your heart is weary
when you want a love with no strings,
I will be here waiting,
waiting in the wings.
A natural dreamer.
A maverick soul.
How close can I be to you
and still not lose control?
And as close as the ocean
as near as the sky
as near as the tears I don't cry.
Maybe a fool has been drowned in a vision.
Hung up to dry in the teeth of the wind.
Believing in the truth of your decisions
that's all there is until the end.
When your heart is weary
when you want a love with no strings,
I will be here waiting,
waiting in the wings.
When your heart is weary
when you want a love with no strings,
I will be here waiting,
waiting in the wings.
When your heart is weary
when you want a love with no strings,
I will be here waiting,
(Miller/Masser)
Touch me in the morning
Then just walk away
We don't have tomorrow
But we had yesterday
(Hey!)
Wasn't it me who said that
Nothing good's gonna last forever?
And wasn't it me who said
Let's just be glad for the time together?
It must've been hard to tell me
That you've given all you had to give
I can understand you're feeling that way
Everybody's got their life to live
Well, I can say good-bye in the cold morning light
But I can't watch love die in the warmth of the night
If I've got to be strong
Don't you know I need to have tonight when you're gone?
'Till you go I need to lie here and think about
The last time that you'll touch me in the morning
Then just close the door
Leave me as you found me, empty like before
(Hey!)
Wasn't it yesterday
We used to laugh at the wind behind us?
Didn't we run away and hope
That time wouldn't try to find us (Didn't we run)
Didn't we take each other
To a place where no one's ever been?
Yeah, I really need you near me tonight
'Cause you'll never take me there again
Let me watch you go
With the sun in my eyes
We've seen how love can grow
Now we'll see how it dies
If I've got to be strong
Don't you know I need to have tonight when you're gone?
'Till you go I need to hold you until the time
Your hands reach out and touch me in the morning
(Mornings where blue and gold and we could feel one another living)
Then just walk away
(We walked with a dream to hold and we could take what the world was giving)
We don't have tomorrow,
(There's no tomorrow here, there's only love and the time to chase it)
But we had yesterday
(But yesterday's gone my love, there's only now and it's time to face it)
(Fuqua/Bristol/Moy)
Oh and I know these things will keep me loving you dear
Say it again
These things will keep me loving you dear
A gentle touch upon my face baby
A tender kiss and a warm embrace honey
Oh a few kind words
Spoken so sincere
And I know and I know
These things will keep me loving you dear
These things will keep me loving you dear
Give me your shoulder so I can cry on it baby
Oh give me advice that I can rely on honey
Oh say you love me every day of the year
And I know and I know
These things will keep me loving you dear
Say it again
These things will keep me loving you dear
Oh and I know these things will keep me loving you dear
Oh baby baby
Call me each night on the telephone baby
Oh send me a card when you're far from home honey
Oh hold me close to you baby every time you're near
And I know and I know
These things will keep me loving you dear
(Do You Know Where You're Going To?)
(Masser/Goffin)
Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you
Where are you going to?
Do you know...?
Do you get
What you're hoping for
When you look behind you
There's no open door
What are you hoping for?
Do you know...?
Once we were standing still in time
Chasing the fantasies
That filled our minds
You knew how I loved you
But my spirit was free
Laughin' at the questions
That you once asked of me
Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you
Where are you going to?
Do you know...?
Now looking back at all we've planned
We let so many dreams
Just slip through our hands
Why must we wait so long
Before we'll see
How sad the answers
To those questions can be
Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you
Where are you going to?
Do you know...?
Do you get
What you're hoping for
When you look behind you
There's no open door
What are you hoping for?
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forget to shine
But God who brought me here below
Will be forever mine
Through him, many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come
It was grace that brought me here, thus far
Tenderness is the best
Tenderness I confess
Tenderness is the best
Tenderness, nothin' less
Love me with a tender touch
Kindness, I need very much
It is so hard for me to trust
But deep inside I know I must
Love me all through the night

Tenderness is the best
Tenderness I confess

Tenderness, nothin' less
Love me, try to be understanding
Tenderness is all that I'm asking
Don't feel like I'm making conditions
I wanna to overcome my inhibitions

Tenderness is the best
Tenderness I confess

Hug me till the first rays of sunlight
Be sweet, make me unafraid
'Cause tonight I'll play with you, please be gentle
Love me

Tenderness I confess

Feel like no one really cares

Lean on me and I'll be your friend
In your darkest hour I'll be your light
Like a star shining in the night

Everyone needs someone to love
Call me and I'll give you love
In my heart, you'd have a home

Now I wanna tell you of a great love
Oh, it will light up, it will surely light up darkened worlds
If you’ll just believe stoned love
Stoned love, oh yeah
A love for each other will bring fighting to an end
Forgiving one another, time after time doubt creeps in
But like the sun lights up the sky with a message from above
Oh yeah, I find no other greater symbol of love
Don’t you hear the wind blowing
Stoned love, oh yeah
I tell you I ain’t got no other
Stoned love, oh, yeah
Life is so short, put the present time at hand, oh yeah
And if you're young at heart rise up and take your stand
And to the man on whose shoulder the world must depend
I pray for peace and love, amen
Can't you feel it
Stoned love, oh yeah
I tell you I ain’t got no other
Stoned love, oh, yeah
If a war 'tween our nations passed, oh yeah
Will the love 'tween our brothers and sisters last
On and on and on and on and
Stoned love, yeah
I tell you I ain’t got no other
Stoned love
Can’t you, can’t you, can’t you, can’t you, can’t you feel it
Stoned love, oh yeah
Stoned, stoned, stoned, stoned
Stoned love, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Stoned love, oh yeah, yeah, uh huh
(Masser/Sawyer)
No one ever loved you more
And you're all I'm living for
Now I'm screaming silently
It's so hard to believe
You're not in love with me
Baby there's no easy way to hear the words
I'm sorry I don't love you
You tried to leave me once before
But felt so bad you let me love you more
Baby there's no gentle way
No tender sentimental way
To leave me
You offered me your sympathy
But I'm as lonely as can be
Sorry doesn't always make it right
No one ever loved you so
While you were trying to go
I guess I didn't know
Baby there's no easy way to hear the words
I'm sorry I don't love you
You hurt me then apologized
You better go before i lose my pride
Baby there's no gentle way
No tender sentimental way
To leave me
I wish that I could make you care
But all in love just isn't fair
But sorry doesn't always make it right
Now it's time for you to leave
It's so hard to believe
Someday we'll be together
Say it, say it, say it, say it again
Someday we'll be together, oh yeah, oh yeah
You're far away from me my love
But just as sure my, my baby, as there are stars above
Wanna say, wanna say, wanna say it
Someday we'll be together
Ah, yes we will, yes we will
Some sweet day
I know, I know, I know, I know
My love is yours, baby, oh right from the start
You, you, you posses my soul now honey
And I know, I know you own my heart
And I wanna say
Some sweet day
Ah yes we will, yes we will
Tell everybody now
Ah, yes we will, yes we will
Long time ago my, my sweet thing
I made a big mistake, honey
I said, I said goodbye, oh, oh baby
Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever since that day, now, now
All, all I wanna do, oh is cry, cry, cry
Hey, hey, hey I long for you every, every night
Just to kiss your sweet, sweet lips baby
Hold you ever, ever so tight
And I wanna say
Someday we'll be together
Oh yes we will, yes we will
Someday we'll be together
Yes, we will, yes we will
Someday we’ll be together
Ah honey, honey, honey, my honey
Reach out and touch somebody's hand
Make this world a better place if you can
Reach out and touch somebody's hand
Make this world a better place if you can
(Just try)
Take a little time out of your busy day
To give encouragement to someone who's lost the way
(Just try)
Or would I be talking to a stone if I asked you
To share a problem that's not your own
We can change things if we start giving
Why don't you
Reach out and touch somebody's hand
Make this world a better place if you can
Reach out and touch somebody’s hand
Make this world a better place if you can
(Just try)
If you see an old friend on the street and he's down
Remember his shoes could fit your feet
(Just try)
Try a little kindness and you'll see
It's something that comes very naturally
We can change things if we start giving
Why don't you
Reach out and touch somebody’s hand
Reach out and touch somebody's hand
Make this world a better place if you can
Reach out and touch somebody's hand
Make this world a better place if you can
Reach out and touch somebody's hand
Make this world a better place if you can
Reach out and touch somebody's hand

Always and forever I'll love just you
Just promise me, darling, your love in return
Make this fire in my soul forever burn
Forever, my darling, our love will be true
Always and forever I'll love just you
Just promise me, darling, your love in return
Make this fire in my soul, dear, forever burn
My heart's at your command, dear
To keep love and to hold
Making you happy’s my desire
Keeping you is my goal
And I'll forever love you for the rest of my days
I'll never part from you and your loving ways
No I'll never part from you and your loving ways
And I'll never, never part from you and your loving ways
Yes, forever my darling
I won't love nobody but you

Check it out
You were the first who ever brought me out
Showed me what life and love was all about
Gave me things that I never need
You're in my thoughts, my every dream
I found joy in your touch, I miss your kisses
The way you made me blush
Life is cruel now that you're gone
I love you so I can't let go, yeah
Not over you yet
Not trying to forget
The way that you loved me
Not over you yet
Not trying to forget
The way that you loved me
I hate you so for what you done to me
Made me fall in love with no security
I gotta move on move on my life
But it's so hard when you're still on my mind
I found joy in your touch
I miss your kisses the way you made me blush
Life is cruel now that you're gone
I love you so I can't let go
I'm crazy for you
Not over you yet
Not trying to forget
The way that you loved me
Not over you yet
Not trying to forget
The way that you loved me
Not over you yet
Not trying to forget
The way that you loved me
Not over you yet
Not trying to forget
The way that you loved me
I miss your kisses
I miss your touch
I'm crazy for you
Not over you yet
Not trying to forget
The way that you loved me
Not over you yet
Not trying to forget
The way that you loved me
Not over you yet
Not trying to forget
The way that you loved me
Not over you yet
Not trying to forget
The way that you loved me
Not yet
Not over you yet
Not trying to forget
The way that you loved me
Not over you yet
Not trying to forget
(Yvain/Willemetz/Charles)
It's caused me a lot
But there's one thing that I got
It's my man
Cold and wet
Tied you bet
All of that I'll soon forget
With my man
He's not much for looks
And no hero out of books
But I love him
Two or three girls has he
That he likes as well as me
But I love him
I don't no why I should
He isn't true
He beats me to
What can I do?
Oh my man, I love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is right, all right
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know
I'll come back on my knees some day
Whatever my man is
I am his for ever more
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know
I'll come back on my knees some day
Whatever my man is
Nothing you could say can tear me away from my guy
Nothing you could do cos I’m stuck like glue to my guy
I'm sticking to my guy like a stamp to a letter
Like birds of a feather we stick together
I’m telling you from the start I can't be torn apart from my guy
Nothing you could do could make me untrue to my guy
Nothing you could buy could make me tell a lie to my guy
I gave my guy my word of honour to be faithful and I’m gonna
You best be believing I won't be deceiving my guy
As a matter of opinion I think he's tops
My opinion is he's the cream of the crop
As a matter of taste to be exact
He's my ideal as a matter of fact
No muscle bound man could take my hand from my guy
No handsome face could ever take the place of my guy
He may not be a movie star but when it comes to being happy we are
There's not a man today who could take me away from my guy
No muscle bound man could take my hand from my guy
No handsome face could ever take the place of my guy
He may not be a movie star but when it comes to being happy we are
There's not a man today who could take me away from my guy
There’s not a man today who could take me away from my guy
There’s not a man today who could take me away from my guy
(Richie)
Since you've been away
I've been down and lonely
Since you've been away
I've been thinking of you
Trying to understand
The reason you left me
What were you going through?
I'm missing you
Tell me why the road turns
Ooh ooh
I'm missing you
Tell me why the road turns
As I look around
I see things that remind me
Just to see you smile
Made my heart fill with joy
I'll still recall
All those dreams we shared together
Where did you run to, boy?
I'm missing you
Tell me why the road turns
Ooh ooh
I'm missing you
Tell me why the road turns
Sometimes I've wondered
I didn't understand
Just where you were trying to go
Only you knew the plan
And I tried to be there
But you wouldn't let me in
But now you've gone away boy
I feel so broken hearted
I knew the day we started
That we were meant to be
If only you'd let me!
I've cried so many tears
Gotta face now all my fears
We let time slip away
I need you boy
Here today!
There was so much you gave me
To my heart
To my soul
There was so much of your dreams
That were never told
You had so much hope
For a brighter day
Why were you my flower
Plucked away
I'm missing you
Tell me why the road turns
Ooh ooh
I'm missing you
Mirror, mirror on the wall
You said you had the answer to it all
You never told me I'd take a fall
Mirror, mirror on the wall
You, you turned my life into a paperback novel
Words that come to life inside your little melodrama
Chapter one, when I was young I came to you with my problems
Chapter two, you promised me love and anything that I desired
Tell me mirror, mirror, mirror on the wall
Thought you said you had the answer to it all
Never told me I was gonna take a fall
Tell me mirror, mirror, mirror on the wall
You have nailed my heart upon the wall for your pleasures
You have cast a spell that cannot ever be broken
And now my eyes grow tired, I watch my picture getting older
But I remain the same, trapped in this mirror forever
Tell me mirror, mirror, mirror on the wall
Thought you said you had the answer to it all
You never told me I was gonna take a fall
Tell me mirror, mirror, mirror on the wall
I talk to you each night and I follow your advise
You've been wrong
What's the price I have to pay
For this fairy tale thing called love?
Let me go
Tell me mirror, mirror, mirror on the wall
Thought you said you had the answer to it all
Never told me I was gonna take a fall
Tell me mirror, mirror, mirror on the wall
Mirror, mirror
Tell me mirror, mirror on the wall
I thought you said you had the answer to it all
You never told me I was gonna take a fall
Tell me mirror, mirror on the wall
Tell me mirror
(Brandy)
Sometimes we make each other cry
Sometimes were locked inside the prisons of our pride
Sometimes we break each others herts with the words we say
Let anger get in the way too many times
(Chorus)
But always after all
Love is all that matters
After everything
One thing remains the same
One thing we cannot change
We all have one heart
And one heart needs another
Love is all that matters
Love is all that matters
It matters after all
(Diana Ross)
Sometimes we search this world for gold
When all we really need is just a hand to hold (hand to Hold)
Sometimes we let the greatest treasure just slip away
With words we forget to say too many times
(With the words)
(Both Chorus)
But always after all
Love is all that matters
After everything
One thing remains the same
One thing we cannot change
We,we all have one heart
And one heart needs another
Love,love is all that matters
Love is all that matters
It matters after all
(Brandy)
After all that weve been through
(Diana Ross)
It comes down to one simple truth
(Both)
You need me, I need you
Cause love is all that matters
Love is all that matters
Love is all that matters
It matters after all
(Sawyer/Mcleod)
If there's a cure for this
I don't want it
Don't want it
If there's a remedy
I'll run from it
From it
Think about it all the time
Never let it out of my mind
'Cause I love you
I've got the sweetest hangover
I don't wanna get over
Sweetest hangover
Yeah, I don't wanna get over
I don't wanna get
I don't wanna get...over
Ooh, I don't need no cure
I don't need no cure
I don't need no cure
Sweet lovin'
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet love
Sweet, sweet love
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet love
Don't call a doctor
Don't call her momma
Don't call her preacher
No, I don't need it
I don't want it
Sweet love, I love you
Sweet love, need love
If there's a cure for this
I don't want it
I don't want it no
If there's a cure for this
I don't need it
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet love
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet love
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet love
You think that I don’t feel love
But what I feel for you is real love
In others’ eyes I see reflected
A hurt, scorned, rejected
Love child, never meant to be
Love child, born in poverty
Love child, never meant to be
Love child, take a look at me
Started my life
In an old, cold, run-down terrace line
My father left, he never even married Mom
I shared the guilt my Momma knew
So afraid that others knew I had no name
Oh, this love we’re contemplating
Is worth the pain of waiting
We’ll only end up hating
The child we may be creating
Love child, never meant to be
Love child, scorned by society
Love child, always second best
Love child, different from the rest
Mmm, baby
Mmm, baby
I started school
In a worn, torn dress that somebody threw out
I knew the way it felt to always live in doubt
To be without the simple things
So afraid my friends would see the guilt in me
Oh, don’t think that I don’t need you
Don’t think I don’t wanna please you
But no child of mine will be bearing
The name of shame I’ve been wearing
Love child, love child, never quite as good
Afraid, ashamed, misunderstood
But I’ll always love you
I’ll always love you, I’ll always love you
I’ll always love you, I’ll always love you
I’ll always love you, you, you
(Snow/Goffin)
The bittersweet sadness of time passing by
Trying to hold back the years
you try to reach out and touch yesterday
But yesterday just disappears
We've shared a lot of sadness
We've shared a lot of pain
Let's make good use of the time that remains
Let's make every moment count
Let's taste the richness of life to it's fullest amount
Between me and you and all we've been through
There are no problems that we can't surmount
Let's make every moment count
Let's make every moment count
I still remember the day we first meet
We both didn't have a care
The years have flown, but we've both grown
We're none of the worse for the wear
We're only just beginning
I'm still your lover and your friend
And it's never too late to dream again
You say we've seen the best of all our memories
But if your heart and soul are in it
(Masser/Sawyer)
Last time I saw him
He sweetly kissed my lips
Last time I saw him
He said:"I'll be back for more of this"
Last time I saw him
We were crying at the bus
I knew he hated leaving
But he had to set us up
I gave him money
I know I invested well
Mamma doesn't trust him
But he loves me I can tell
Each time the greyhound
Arrives at nine o' clock
But I don't start my crying
'Till that last man's gotten off
Last time I saw him
Last time I saw my honey
Last time I saw him
He was greyhound-bound
But I'm still waiting here
Without a fear
That bus will someday turn around
I had no letter
It's been six months, maybe better
I try forgetting him
But I love him more then ever
I have decided
I've waited long enough
If there was nothing wrong
He would return right on that bus
There must be trouble
So I'm leavin' on the double
If he can't get to me
I know he needs me desperately
Last time I saw him
Last time I saw my honey
Last time I saw him
He was looking fine
And as he waved good-bye
He said don't cry
I'm coming back, no rain or shine
Last time I saw him
Last time I saw my honey
Last time I saw him
He was greyhound-bound
And as he waved good-bye
He said don't cry
I'm coming back, no rain or shine
Last time I saw him
He was looking fine
And as he waved good-bye
He said don't cry
By: Michael Masser and Carole Bayer Sager
From: The original soundtrack of the film 'It's My Turn'
I can't cover up my feelings in the name of love
Or play it safe, for a while that was easy
And if living for myself is what I'm guilty of
Go on and sentence me I'll still be free
It's my turn to see what I can see
I hope you'll understand this time's just for me
Because it's my turn with no apologies
I've given up the truth to those I've tried to please
But now
It's my turn if I don't have all the answers
At least I know I'll take my share of chances
Ain't no use in holdin' on when nothing stays the same
So I'll let it rain 'coz the rain ain't gonna hurt me
And I'll let you go though I know it won't be easy
It's my turn with no more room for lies
For years I've seen my life through someone else's eyes
And now it's my turn to try and find my way
And if I should get lost at least I'll hold today
It's my turn
Yes, it's my turn
And there ain't no use in holdin' on when nothing stays the same
So I'll let it rain 'coz the rain ain't gonna hurt me
And I'll let you go though I know it won't be easy
It's my turn to see what I can see
I hope you'll understand this time's just for me
Because it's my turn to turn and say goodbye
I sure would like to know that you're still on my side
Because it's my turn
It's my turn
It's my turn to start from number one
Trying to undo some damage that's been done
But now it's my turn
To reach and touch the stars
No-one's gonna say, at least, I didn't try
It's my turn
Yes, it's my turn
It's my turn
It's my turn
It's my turn
(Ross/Wray/Bullard)
I was lost in darkness all alone
On the streets no place that I
I could call my own
Time's so hard
Rain everywhere down below
Until the day I heard your voice
Telling me which way to go
Come on out into the life
Hold on love it's alright
It's a wonderful life
Now that you made me see
My life's complete
It's in harmony
It's a wonderful life
Now that you're here with me
I can't believe I'm in ecstacy
I was blind but love made me see
It's everything I was searchin' for
Was right in front of me
Loving you made me very strong
You gave me the strength I needed
So I could carry on
Come on out into the light
Hold on love it's alright
It's a wonderful life
You made me see
My life's complete
It's in harmony
It's a wonderful life
Now that you're here with me
I can't believe I'm in ecstacy
I feel light as a feather
Every day's beautiful weather
In your arms I remain
Forever and ever
It's a wonderful life
That you made me see
My life's complete
It's in harmony
It's a wonderful life
Now that you're here with me
I can't believe I'm in ecstacy
It's a wonderful life
You made me see
My life's complete
It's in harmony
It's a wonderful life
Now that you're here with me
I remember when I was five and you were ten, boy
You knew that I was shy so you teased and made me cry
But I loved you
Then one day you came, you told me you were leaving
You gave your folks the blame and made me cry again
When you said
Little girl, please don’t wait for me
Wait patiently for love, some day it will surely come
Ooh little girl, please don’t wait for me
Wait patiently for love, some day it will surely come
And I’m still waiting
I’m waiting
Ooh still waiting
Oh I’m a fool to keep waiting for you
Ooh I’m waiting, I’m still waiting
For love, for you
Then someone finally came, he told me that he loved me
I put him off with lies, he could see I had no eyes
So he left me
Once again alone like a child without her playmate
I had to face the truth, I was still in love with you
But you said
Little girl, please don’t wait for me
Wait patiently for love, some day it will surely come
Ooh little girl, please don’t wait for me
Wait patiently for love, some day it will surely come
And I’m still waiting
Love has never shown its face
Since the day he walked out that door
You filled my life an empty space
Come back can’t you see it’s you I’m waiting for
Don’t you know I’m waiting
Ooh I’m waiting for love, for you
I miss you, ooh I’m waiting
Come on back boy
Come back, come back
Come back boy, ooh I need ya
Ooh, ooh and I want you
That’s what I’m afraid to say
I’m a fool
(Masser/Sawyer)
Am I really hard to please ?
Perhaps I have such special needs
I wondered what was wrong with me
My friends all fall so easily
But today I fell in love with someone I hardly know
Did I make myself imagine that he could love me so ?
'Cause the feeling was so unexpected
I could hardly keep myself collected
I thought it took a little time to learn about lovin'
Never did believe in lovin' on sight
I thought it took a little time to learn about lovin'
All I know is now it's gotta be right
In the midst of conversation he looked into my eyes
And all through the conversation
Much to my own surprise
Half the words he said to me were missin'
'Cause my mind was so intend on kissin'
I thought it took a little time to learn about lovin'
Never did believe in lovin' on sight
I thought it took a little time to learn about lovin'
All I know is now it's gotta be right
Am I really hard to please ?
Perhaps I have such special needs
I wondered what was wrong with me
My friends all fall so easily
But today I fell in love with someone I hardly know
Did I make myself imagine that he could love me so ?
And the feelin' was so deep inside me
I could feel it when he brushed beside me
I thought it took a little time to learn about lovin'
Never did believe in lovin' on sight
I thought it took a little time to learn about lovin'
Deep in the night when you think the world is fast asleep
You come to me, take me where I wanna go
Making promises I know you'll keep
You're the first love in my life
And the moment we touch I can tell you how weak I've grown
You make me feel like I never loved a man before
Never held him in my arms, never told him I loved him
I remember all the lovers coming through my door
But you make me feel like I never loved a man before
It's hard to say it, words don't come so easily to me
But it's here in my heart and it's making me lose control
What else can I tell you, who'd refuse a night
That takes you away and touches your very soul
You make me feel like I never loved a man before
Never held him in my arms, never told him I loved him
I remember all the lovers coming through my door
But you make me feel like I never loved a man before
I went along looking at love differently
Oh, but now it's so strong
Look what you've done to me
You make me feel like I never loved a man before
Never held him in my arms, never told him I loved him
I remember all the lovers coming through my door
Roll down the gangway
So they'll see that it's me
I know they'll wonder about my recovery
Yes, I lost a love that promised happiness
What my heart wouldn't accept
Put me to the test
They keep a holding me down
But I rise, yes, it can be done
They keep a holding me down
But I rise, they can't make me run
Keep a holding me down
But I rise, got my second wind
Keep a holding me down
But I rise, tell 'em I'm back again
Just say, I ain't been licked
I ain't been licked
I ain't been licked
Tell 'em for me, I ain't been licked
Like outta nowhere
My whole world fell apart
Till this day no one knows
What I felt in my heart
All those precious things
Inside me tried to still
Hands I thought would help
Pushed me over the hill
Keep a holding me down
But I rise, yes, it can be done
Keep a holding me down
But I rise, they can't make me run
Keep a holding me down
But I rise, got my second wind
Keep a holding me down
But I rise, tell 'em I'm back again
Just say, I ain't been licked
I ain't been licked
I ain't been licked
Tell 'em for me, I ain't been licked
Keep a holding me down
But I rise just to start again
Rise, show 'em that I can
Rise, found a brand new dream
Rise just to prove one thing
Just say, I ain't been licked
I ain't been licked
I ain't been licked
Tell 'em for me, I ain't been licked
I want the world to see
I ain't been licked
Although my love is gone
I ain't been licked
Somehow I carry one
I ain't been licked
I'll find the strength somehow
I ain't been licked
I think I'm ready now
I ain't been licked
I ain't been licked
I ain't been licked

Hela hey mamela, hela hey mamela
He lives in you, he lives in me (hela hey mamela)

Into the waters, into the truth
In your reflection, he lives in you
Dream, and the voice in the wind whispers
Oh, oh, iyo, iyo mamela oh, oh, iyo
Wait! there's no mountain too great

He lives, he lives, he lives in you
You've been in love once before
But never quite like this, no
And you fall in love more and more
With every single kiss, yeah
So tell me why do you do the things
That you continue to do
When I'm not the one who hurt you so
I wouldn't cheat on you
It can't keep goin' on
Like the feelin' doesn't exist
Or the one you love
Will be the one you miss
Then you'll dream about love and how it would be
But then you'll wake up to reality to find I'm gone, I'm gone
Then you'll start to think and reminisce
'Cause it's my hugs and kisses you'll miss
But I'm gone, I'm gone
You go through life searchin' for love
And you're lucky if you find, yeah
Someone who cares about you so
And will never mislead you, no
But If you hide the way you feel
Why do you carry on?
'Cause I won't stay around
To wait on you to make up your mind, yeah
It can't keep goin' on
Like the feelin' doesn't exist
Or the one you love
Will be the one you miss
Then you'll dream about love and how it would be
But then you'll wake up to reality to find I'm gone, I'm gone
Then you'll start to think and reminisce
'Cause it's my hugs and kisses you'll miss
But I'm gone, I'm gone
It can't keep goin' on
Like the feelin' doesn't exist
Or the one you love
Will be the one you miss
Then you'll dream about love and how it would be
But then you'll wake up to reality to find I'm gone, I'm gone
Then you'll start to think and reminisce
'Cause it's my hugs and kisses you'll miss
But I'm gone, I'm gone

But then you'll wake up to reality to find I'm gone, I'm gone
Then you'll start to think and reminisce
'Cause it's my hugs and kisses you'll miss
I'm gone, I'm gone
You'll dream about love and wake up
To find I'm gone, I'm gone
You'll start to think and reminisce
Girls, they are so lovely
Oh girls, girls, oh, please love me
Girls run around in your head
'Til you wish you had boys instead
Girls, they are such fragile stuff
That you just can't get enough
Oh girls, girls
They are impossible
Girls, girls, girls, girls, girls
Do I have girls?
Let me tell you about some girls
I have three girls
Rhonda, Tracee and Chudney
I have girls in my bathroom
Girls in my closet
Girls wearing my shoes
My lipstick, my perfume
Sleeping with my husband
What was that?
They say your life changes
When you have kids
Bring it way down, Gill
When I gave all of my love to you
I said, "You were a dream come true"
Good to you, so good to you
Is what I'm gonna be
And I hope you'll fall in love with me
Persevere is what we'll do
What we'll do to make
Our love everlasting
Oh, friend I owe all of my life to you
I said you were a dream come true
I don't want, no I don't want
To be so cold to you
It's just a defense that I sometimes use
I have often thought
That I had no love to give
But it's yours for the asking
I have often thought
I had no love to give
It's yours, yours for the asking
Oh friend, I give my life to you
I say you are a dream come true
Oh friend, oh friend, I give my life to you
I say you are, you are a dream come true
Is it a beautiful day? You're beautiful
I mentioned earlier that the world is watching each of you
You make me so proud I'm the happiest woman in the world right now
I have a dream come true
I want you to listen to me now
This is being televised again worldwide today
Just calm yourselves, come on, alright, can you feel me?
Yes, this may be the most important moment in my life
There are words in this song that to me are very special, listen
It's more than you
It's more than me
No matter what we are
We are a family
This dream is for us
This one can be real
They can't stop us now
Because of how we feel
It's more than you
It's more than me
Whatever dreams we have
They're for the family
We're not alone any more then
There are others there
And this dream's big enough
For all of us to share
So don't think you're going
We're not going anywhere
We're staying, taking our share
If you get afraid again, I'll be there
We are a family like a giant tree
Branching out towards the sky
We are a family and so much more
Than just you and I
We are a family like a giant tree
Growing strong, growing wiser
We are, we are a family
See me loving you
A fool without a lover
How can that possibly be
Maybe you can show me why
I shiver when you're closer
I remember your touch without it
Let me drown in your ecstasy
It's got to be do or die
Don't tell me love is just one night
I know it's not true
There should be someone there
To catch you when the rain falls
And you can turn away my Heaven
And maybe I was wrong
I depended on the inner voice of
Experience, or just imagination
Whatever you believe in, you can lose
And one way or the other
We can find another world we can run away to
I'm living for the experience, is only what you make it
You live forever but you never know that
Somebody loves you and when the sky is open
Fly away lovers can share, I'll be there
And you can make the earth move
You can take me with no struggle
Lead me through your mystical dreams
Show me what you are
And we can make the wind blow
You're the power and I'm in it
You can be the fire I start
I want your heart
And let there be a story when the stories are told
I need to hear you say you love me when the night falls
We may never go to Heaven but one thing that is sure
You cannot ignore, I'll make it more than
Experience is not an imagination
You get what you believe in if you choose
Somebody loves you, I couldn't get no higher
Fly away lovers can share and we'll be there
Experience is not an imagination
You get what you believe in if you choose
And one way or the other, we can find another world
We can run away to and I love you
Experience is only what you make it
You can come together when you let yourself go
And somebody loves you, I couldn't get no higher
Fly away lovers can share and we'll be there
Experience is not an imagination
You can get what you believe in if you choose
And one way or the other, we can find another world
We can run away to, I, I love you
I wanna call the stars down from the sky
I wanna live a day that never dies
I wanna change the world only for you
All the impossible I wanna do
I wanna hold you close under the rain
I wanna kiss your smile and feel the pain
I know what's beautiful looking at you
In a world of lies you are the truth
And baby, every time you touch me I become a hero
I'll make you safe no matter where you are
And bring you everything you ask for, nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark when you tell me that you love me
I wanna make you see just what I was
Show you the loneliness and what it does
You walked into my life to stop my tears
Everything's easy now, I have you here
And baby, every time you touch me I become a hero
I'll make you safe no matter where you are
And bring you everything you ask for, nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark when you tell me that you love me
In a world without you I will always hunger
All I need is your love to make me stronger
And baby, every time you touch me I become a hero
I'll make you safe no matter where you are
And bring you everything you ask for, nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark when you tell me that you love me
"Do you Know Where You're Going to" (Theme From Mahogany)
Sung by Diana Ross
---------------------------------------------------------
Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to? Do you know?
Do you get what you're hoping for,
When you look behind you theres no open door?
What are you hoping for? Do you know?
Once we were standing still in time,
Chasing the fantasies that filled our minds.
You knew how Iloved you, but my spirit was free
Laughing at the questions that you once asked of me.
Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to? Do you know?
Now looking back at all we've had,
We let so many dreams just slip through our hands.
Why must we wait so long before we see,
How sad the answers to those questions can be?
Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to? Do you know?
Do you get what you're hoping for,
When you look behind you theres no open door?
What are you hoping for? Do you know?

"In effect, each community in the succession sows
the seeds of its own destruction"
You took a mystery and made me want it
You got a pedestal and put me on it
You made me love you out of feeling nothing
Something that you do
And I was there and not dancing with anyone
You took a little, then you took me over
You set your mark on stealing my heart away
Crying, trying, anything for you
I'm in the middle of a chain reaction
You give me all the after midnight action
(don't pass me by) {background same time as above}
I wanna get you where I can let you make all that love to me
I'm on a journey for the inspiration
To anywhere and there ain't no salvation
(don't make me cry) {background same time as above}
I need you to get me nearer to you
So you can set me free
We talk about love, love, love
We talk about love
We talk about love, love, love
We talk about love
You make me tremble when your hand moves lower
You taste a little then you swollow slower
Nature has a way of yielding treasure
Pleasure made for you, oh
You gotta plan, your future is on the run
Shine a light for the whole world over
You never find your love if you hide away
Crying, dying, all you gotta do is
Get in the middle of a chain reaction
You get a medal when you're lost in action
(don't pass me by) {background same time as above}
I wanna get your love all ready for the sweet sensation
Instant radiation
You let me hold you for the first explosion
We get a picture of our love in motion
(don't make me cry) {background same time as above}
My arms will cover, my lips will smother you
With no more left to say
We talk about love, love, love
We talk about love
You let me hold you for the first explosion
Arms will cover you
All you gotta do is get in the middle of a chain reaction
You get a medal when you're lost in action
Don't pass me by
By: Stevie Wonder & Syreeta Wright
Where has my love gone?
How can I go on?
It seems, dear
love has gone away.
Where is my spirit?
I'm nowhere near it.
Oh yes, my love has gone astray.
But I'll blame it on the sun,
the sun that didn't shine
I'll blame it on the wind and the trees.
I'll blame it on the time,
that never was enough
I'll blame it on the tide and the sea.
But my heart blames it on me.
Who poured the love out?
What made this bitter doubt?
Is peace not here for me to see?
Wish I could tell you what I am feeling.
But words won't come for me to speak.
Oh, I'll blame it on the sun,
that didn't fill the sky.
I'll blame it on the birds and the trees.
I'll blame it on the day,
that ended much too soon.
I'll blame it on the nights,
that could not be.
Ooh, all day long I hear my telephone ring
Friends calling giving their advice
From the boy I love I should break away
Cos heartaches he’ll bring one day
I lost him once through a friend’s advice
But it’s not gonna happen twice
Cos all advice ever gotten me
Was many long and sleepless nights
But now he’s back in my arms again
Right by my side
I got him back in my arms again
So satisfied
It’s easy for friends to say let him go
But I’m the one who needs him so
It’s his love that makes me strong
Without him I can’t go on
This time I’ll live my life at ease
Being happy loving whom I please
And each time we make romance
I’ll be thankful for a second chance
Cos he’s back in my arms again
Right by my side
I got him back in my arms again
So satisfied
How can Mary tell me what to do
When she lost her love so true
And Flo, she don’t know
Cos the boy she loves is a Romeo
I listened once to my friends’ advice
But it’s not gonna happen twice
Cos all advice ever gotten me
Was many long and sleepless nights
I got him back in my arms again
Right by my side
I got him back in my arms again
So satisfied
I’m satisfied
So satisfied
I’m satisfied
I’m satisfied
So satisfied
I’m satisfied
Diana Ross & Julio Iglesias
I've never had this feeling before
I never wanted anyone more
And something in your eyes tells me
You feel the way that I do (I feel like you do)
If you would like to stay here all night
You know that I would say it's alright
Though I'm saying yes, I confess
I've got more on my mind
Cos I want more of you than your time
All of you, your body and soul
Every kind of love you can express
All the secret dreams you've never told
I want everything and I'll take nothing less
All of you as long as you live
Everything you've never shared before
I want all of you that you can give
All your joys and all your sorrows
Your todays and your tomorrows
How I long to feel the warmth of your touch
And then, if I'm not asking too much
I'd like to spend my life wandering through
All the wonders of you (all the wonders of you)
And when we're lying close in the dark
So close I feel each beat of your heart
I want you to reveal what you feel, all you hold deep inside
There is nothing I want you to hide
All of you, your body and soul
Everything you want this love to be
I want all of you, all that you can give
And in return for all your giving
Let me give you all of me
All of you, your body and soul
Every kind of love you can express
All the secret dreams you've never told
I want everything (everything) everything
All of you as long as you live (as long as you live)
Everything you want this love to be
I want all of you, all that you can give
(Nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
If you need me, call me. No matter where you are, no matter how far. Just call my name. I'll be there in a hurry. On that you can depend and never worry.
You see, my love is aliv. It's like a seed, that only needs the thought of you to grow. So if you feel the need for company, please, my darling, let it be me. I may not be able to express the depth of the love I feel for you, but a writer put it very nicely when he was away from the one he loved. He sat down and wrote these words:
No wind, (no wind) no rain, (no rain)
Nor winter's cold
Can stop me, babe (oh, babe) baby (baby)
If you're my goal
No wind, no rain,
Can stop me, babe
If you wanna go
I know, I know you must follow the sun
Wherever it leads
But remember
If you should fall short of your desires
Remember life holds for you one guarantee
You'll always have me.
And if you should miss my lovin'
One of these old days
If you should ever miss the arms
That used to hold you so close, or the lips
That used to touch yours so tenderly
Just remember what I told you
The day I set you free.
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough (say it again)
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from you.
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough (say it again)
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from you.
Ain't no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me
To keep me from you.
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough (one more time)
Ain't no river wide enough (say it again)
To keep me from you.
Ain't no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me
We're listening to Diana Ross
She sang her song, sang her song
About love hangover, love hangover
Swing 'n' sway, she leads our way
Leads our way, leads our way
Into a love hangover, love hangover
I didn't know what I feared
But do know what I feel
I didn't know what I feared
But do know what I feel
Feel no pain with Diana Ross
She leads our way, leads our way
Into a love hangover, a love hangover
I didn't know what I feared
But do know what I feel
I didn't know what I feared
But do know what I feel
I didn't know what I feared
But do know what I feel
I didn't know what I feared
But do know what I feel
Do know what I feel
