Your Face Will Be The First Face I Wanna See, Oohh
Verse 1:
You Are There When I am Lonely
You Are There When I Need A Friend
I Take Comfort In Your Word When I Get Weary
And I Know You'll Be There 'til The End
When It's All Said And Done
And My Race Has Been Won
That's When...
Your Face Will Be The First Face I Wanna See, Oohh
Verse 2:
Oh Yeah, You Were There When I Had No One To Talk To
All My Friends They Get Just A Little Bit Too Busy For Me
But You See, I Don't Care About The Things I Suffer Down Here In This World
They Really, They Really, They Don't Bother Me
Because Soon I'll Be Forever In Your Presence
I Know You'll Be There Just Waiting For Me
And...
Your Face Will Be The First Face I Wanna See, Oohh
Oh, Oh, Oh I Want To See
(Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus)
(Jesus, Jesus, Je-E-Sus)
What's the sense in sharing, this one and only life
Ending up, just another lost and lonely wife
You count up the years, and they will be filled with tears
Love only breaks up, to start over again
You'll get the babies, but you won't have your man
While he is busy loving, every woman that he can ("aahh haa")
Say I want to leave a thousand times a day
It's easier said that done
When I just can't break away ("just can't break away")
[CHORUS]
Young hearts, run free
Never be hung up, hung up like my man and me
("umm, my man and me")
Young hearts, to yourself be true
Don't be no fool with
When loving is all, there is ("say that don't love you")
It's high time just one crack at life
Who want to live in, trouble and strife
My mind must be free, to learn all I can about me
I'm gonna love me, for the rest of my days
Caress the babies every time they say
Self reservation is what's, really going on today ("aahh, hooo")
Say I want to leave a thousand times a day
How can I turn loose
When I just can't break away ("just can't break away")
[CHORUS]
[music]
Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like saying, "Lord, I just don't care"
But you've got the love I need to see me through
Sometimes I see that the boy is just too rough
And things go wrong no matter what I do
Now it feels like life is just too much
You've got the love I need to see me through
Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like saying, "Lord, I just don't care"
But you've got the love I need to see me through
Time after time I say, "Oh Lord what's the use?"
Time after time I say, "This just won't do"
But sooner or later in life the things you love you lose
Just like before, I know I call you
I can't believe my palms, degrading friends of you
I can't believe my fire, oh Lord, what must I do
I can't believe what I caught up, master made me new
But you've got the love I need to see me through
Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like saying, "Lord, I just don't care"
But you've got the love I need to see me through
You've got the love x4
I need to see me through x4
You've got the love, yov've got the love, you've got the love
You've got the love, you've got the love, you've got the love
You always find the way to hurt my pride if I'm not
crying you're not satisfied
I don't know why you want to hurt me so
But if you're trying to break my heart you don't have
very far to go
You don't have very far to go before the heartaches begin
I already feel the sadness of a heartbreak settin' in
You're turning down the flame of love too low
If you're trying to break my heart you don't have very
far to go
[ steel ]
You don't have very far to go before the heartaches begin
I already feel the sadness of a heartbreak settin' in
You can't love me and still want to hurt me so
If you're trying to break my heart you don't have very
WHEN WILL I EVER LEARN
ALL MY WORRY IS A WASTE OF TIME
WHEN WILL I EVER LEARN
LETTING GO BRINGS PEACE OF MIND
WHEN WILL I EVER SEE
THINGS HAVE A WAY OF WORKING OUT
WHEN WILL I EVER BE FREE
FREE FROM FEAR,FREE FROM DOUBT
OH LORD I PRAY TO YOU
GIMME THE FAITH TO MAKE IT THROUGH
I SEE A LONELY SPARROW FLY
AND I WONDER WHEN WILL I
WHEN WILL I EVER KNOW A
PEACEFUL FEELING IN MY SOUL
WHEN WILL I UNDERSTAND
GOD LOVES ME THE WAY I AM
OH LORD I PRAY TO YOU
GIVE ME THE FAITH TO MAKE IT THROUGH
I SEE A LONELY SPARROW FLY
AND I WONDER WHEN WILL I
When I started out
It was just a matter of seeing you every day
I looked forward to the times
When you would come my way, oh yes
I longed just to see you
Wore a smile just to greet you
I'm a victim of the very song i sing
You gave me a brand new reason
To start fixing up my face
Having cocktails at your favorite place
A table just for two
Got rid of loneliness, now that I have you
I became a victim of the very song I sing
I told you young hearts run free
When I didn't listen to myself
Engulfed by the power of love
I just fell right in, right on in
Wasn't hardly worried about tomorrow
You're the future
As long as I was being satisfied
I didn't need nothing else
And now already, I'm being left at home
I wonder what it is
That makes a man leave a girl so alone
Another woman is the thing
Running around, it just don't seem to change
Victim, victim, victim, victim
I'm a victim of the very song I sing
Why don't you practice what you preach
That's what everybody's telling me
If my advice is good for others
It's got to be good for me
So I try to occupy my mind
Keep myself busy all the time
But the more I try to do
The more I keep thinking of you
Oh well, I guess I'll end up in the lost and found
Looks like love and me
We done fought another round
Another woman is his claim to fame
And I'm lucky if I can break these chains
Victim...
some people they call me crazy
for falling in love with you
they can take me and lock me away baby
'cause there's nothing those bars can do
i'll be the rising moon after setting sun
just to let you know you'll always have someone
i'll be the clearest day when the rain is done
so you'll always know
through the shake of an earthquake
i will never fall
that's how strong my love is
like a ship through the storm
we can risk it all
that's how strong my love is
i use to feel kinda lonely
cause the world it can be so fake
all that matters i'm telling you
is you and me only
and the fortress from love we make
i'll be the water you need in the desert land
just to let you know you'll always have my hand
i'll be the woman you need to be a better man
so you'll always know
through the shake of an earthquake
i will never fall
that's how strong my love is
like a ship through the storm
we can risk it all
that's how strong my love is
oh, can't nothing break us down
oh, 'cause we are heaven bound
like the mountain standing tall:
immovable; we're here to stay
oh,can't nothing get in the way
through the shake of an earthquake
i will never fall(i will never fall)
that's how strong my love is(that's how strong my love
like a ship through the storm
we can risk it all(we can risk it all)
that's how strong my love is(that love is)
through the deepest waters
i won't let you drown (I won't let you drown Ohh!)
that's how strong my love is (Oh that's how strong my
love, my love, my love)
cause we're the moon in the sky
that will never come down (never come down)
that's how strong my love is (Oh that's how strong my
love is)
that's how strong my love is
We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby
Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds
So, if an old friend I know
Drops by to say hello
Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?
Here we go again
Asking where I've been
You can't see these tears are real
I'm crying
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
And be can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds
Oh let our love survive
Or dry the tears from your eyes
Let's don't let a good thing die
When honey, you know
I've never lied to you
Some times it's hard to be a woman
Givin' all your love to just one man
You'll have sad times and he'll have good times
Doin' things that you don't understand
But if you love him you'll forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him, aww, be proud of him
Cuz after all he's just a man
Stand by your man, give him two arms to cling to
And somethin' warm to come to when nights are cold and
lonely
Stand by your man and show the world you love him
Keep givin' all the love you can
Stand by your man
Stand by your man and show the world you love him
Keep givin' all the love you can

Here we are in the room full of strangers
I’m standing in the dark where your eyes couldn't see me
Well, I had to follow you, though you did not want me to
But that won't stop my love for you, I just can't stay away
Blaming it all on the nights on Broadway
Singing them love songs, singing them straight to the heart songs
Blaming it all on the nights on Broadway
Singing them sweet sounds to that crazy town
In my place there are so many others
Well, standing in the line, how long will they stand between us
Well, I had to follow you, though you did not want me to
But I just can’t stop loving you, you see I just can’t stay away
I’m blaming it all on the nights on Broadway
Singing them love songs, singing them straight to the heart songs
Blaming it all on the nights on Broadway
Singing them sweet sounds to that crazy town
Blaming it all on the nights on Broadway
Blaming it all on the nights on Broadway
Well, I had to follow you, though you did not want me to
But that won’t stop my love for you baby, you see I just can’t stay away
I’m blaming it all on the nights on Broadway
Singing them love songs, singing them straight to the heart songs
Blaming it all on the nights on Broadway
Singing them sweet sounds to that crazy town
Blaming it all on the nights on Broadway
Singing them love songs, singing them straight to the heart songs
Blaming it all on the nights on Broadway
When you smile
The woman in me shines
Where you touch me, Lord
With the look that says you're mine
In sweet surrender
With a kiss so warm amd tender
It says love me, baby
And I will till the day I die
Wherever you go
I'll always be by your side
Though I may not always show it
I want you to know it
Oh, oh, oh, baby, baby
I'm so glad I found you, oh, yeah
There's so much to love about you
Just let me wrap my love around you
There's no place this side of Heaven
On God's green Earth I'd rather be
Than here, loving you loving me
Every time you gently touch my hand
I thank the Lord that
I got you for my man
'Cause you pledged with deep emotion
A lifelong devotion to me
Oh, there could never be
Love more precious
Than the one you've given me
Though I may not always show it
But I hope you know it
Oh, oh, baby, baby
I'm so glad I found you
There's so much to love about you
Oh, yeah, just let me wrap
My love around you
There's no place this side of Heaven
On God's green Earth I'd rather be
As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago morn
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto (in the ghetto)
And his mama cries
'Cause if there's one thing
That she don't need
It's another little
Hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto (in the ghetto)
People, don't you understand
The child needs a helping hand
Or he'll grow to be an
Angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me
Are we too blind to see
Or do we simply turn our heads
And look the other way
Well, the world turns
And a hungry little boy
With a runny nose
Plays in the street
As the cold wind blows
In the ghetto (in the ghetto)
And his hunger burns
So he starts to
Roam the street at night
He learns how to steal
And he learns how to fight
In the ghetto (in the ghetto)
And then one night in desperation
A young man breaks away
He buys a gun, steals a car
Tries to run, but he don't get far
And his mama cries
As a crowd gathers round
An angry young man
Face down in the street
With a gun in his hand
In the ghetto (in the ghetto)
And as her young man dies
On a cold and grey Chicago morn
Another little baby child is born
In the ghetto (in the ghetto)
I'd rather be lonely
Than to lose you
I'd rather be blue
Than to be all alone
'Cause if you leave me
My heart would grieve me
And my poor heart, no, no
Just couldn't stand the pain
Though your love
Has got me in captivity, yeah
Yet if you should leave me
I know I would die
Yeah, in other words
In other words, listen
I just couldn't take it, baby
I couldn't stand
For you to say goodbye
Now I'm just a prisoner
For your good loving
I'm just a slave, yes
Bound and chained
No, no, I don't ever wanna be free
So please don't ever leave me
For my poor heart (my poor heart)
No, it just couldn't stand the pain
(Stand the pain)
Though your love
Oh, yeah, got me in captivity
Yet if you should leave me
I know I would die
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
In other words, in other words
I just couldn't take it, baby
I couldn't stand, ho
To say goodbye (say goodbye)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm just a prisoner, oh
For your good loving, yes, I am
Yes, I'm just a slave (slave)
Bound and chained
(Bound and chained)
No, no, no, no
I don't ever wanna be free
Oh, no, so don't ever leave me
For my poor heart (my poor heart)
Just couldn't stand the pain
(Stand the pain)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm just a prisoner
(I'm just a prisoner)
Just a prisoner
I done tried
I done tried and
I love to know when you are lonely
I love to know when you are blue
if I can`t see that look in your eyes
the look I hope I`d see in you
I hope some day you say you love me
That would meen so much to me
But in the meantime I would make it happend

You may think I'm silly to love a man twice my age
But I know from experience, girls, sometime with pain
The man I've got, the fire is almost gone
He can't heat up nobody's eyes
He got just enough to keep me warm
I'd rather be an old man's sweetheart
Than to be a young man's fool, oh yeah
To love you once a month is all an old man desires
You can love a young man 7 days a week
And still he's not satisfied
And old man would be so grateful
You could just sit and talk
But a young man is somewhere doing the camel walk
I'd rather be an old man's sweetheart
Than to be a young man's fool, yeah, yeah, yeah
Most girls prefer a young man
'Cause a young man is strong - tell him, let me be
But I'd rather put up with this old man
Than have a young man doing me wrong
And old man would be so grateful - tell him
You could just let him sit and talk - tell him, let me
But a young man is somewhere busy doing the camel walk
I'd rather be an old man's sweetheart
Than to be a young man's fool
Don't wanna be your fool, no
Don't wanna be your fool
Ain't gonna be your fool
Don't wanna be no fool
Young man, just ain't gonna do that
No no, don't wanna be no fool
There were a lot a things, in his touch
Sometimes the slightest whisper
Oh it could hurt so much
I could feel him coming near me
His little noises and such
Then my man,
Would lay his hands,
On me
Oh… yes he would
O he might touch me in a way
That a man should
Bring me to passions
MMM that only he could
And so summer that we meet
Whenever when ever he would
Then my man,
Would lay his hands,
On me
O the kindness and protection
MMM the tenderness and the care
When he was happy Ew goodness me
But when he was scare
Oh Oh when he was scared
Those hands took on a life, a life undead
They where viscious and they where small
But they were big enough
To keep this womans back
I ask the lord oh ah
Oh lord I didn’t ask for it
not a love or anything else
Not the years I spent in this world
of a man that only loved himself
No I didn’t ask for it OH god It’s mine now
Those hands are in my mind and my soul
But lord it’s you it’s you and me that makes the power
I will pity that I will pity that beautiful man and
Lord I’m going to bless his path
We were both, just wounded children Oh in a love thank
god it didn’t last
There’s a lot a thing’s lord in your touch
Sometimes your slightest whisper, moves me so much
Your grace and your forgiveness oh the who world and
such
When my lord
Lay your hands
On me oh mmh mh mmh
When my god
Oh you rest your gentle lov’n hands
He called me baby, baby
All night long
Used to hold and kiss me
Till the dawn
Then one day I awoke
And he was gone
There's no more baby, baby
All night long
He called me baby, baby
All night long
Lord, I feel so empty
Since he's been gone
Now I lie here and I die here
Until the dawn
I miss my baby, baby, baby
All night long
He called me baby, baby, baby
All night long, yes, he did
Kiss my tears away
When things went wrong
What I'd give, what I'd give
If he'd come on back home
And call me baby, baby, baby
All night long, oh, yeah
Mmm hmm, yeah
He called me baby, baby
All night long
Held me up so high
And made me strong
Now each night in dreams
Just like a song
I can still hear baby, baby, baby
All night long
I can still hear
Baby, baby, baby, baby
All night long
I can still hear him
Calling me baby, baby, baby, baby
All night long
Oh, what you do
Is just hold me, baby
Squeeze me, baby
All night long
You can make me talk so easy
Boy, you sure know how
To please me (ooh, yeah)
Don't you do it if you
Think you got to, no
Don't you do it if you
Think you ought to (ooh, yeah)
Oh, oh, oh
Do it in the name of love
If you really want me
That's reason enough
Do it in the name of love
Do it in the name of love
Ooh, Lord, mmm hmm
Got to, oh
Don't you know we go together
I swear it feels like forever, boy
(Ooh, yeah)
Don't be scared now
Don't you worry, oh, yeah
It's all right
There's no hurry, woo (ooh, yeah)
Oh, oh, oh
Do it in the name of love
If you really want me
That's reason enough
Do it in the name of love
Just wait a minute, honey
I've got some rap for you
You know you been running
All over town with my man
Telling my friends about
You gonna take my man away from me
But you see
If I can't hold him
Ha, I don't need him
Let me tell you something
I don't care where he goes
Or if he's been with you
Or what he does while he's gone
Or who he's doing it to
I don't mind him having
A little fun with you, honey
Because I know I'm the girl
That's spending his money
I don't feel like, ooh
My man doing me wrong now
Just as long as he takes care of home
(Taking care of business)
He's doing all right
(Taking care of home)
I don't mind him getting
A little loving from you
No, I don't (I don't mind it)
If I were a man, ooh
I'd get some too
(Get me some, get me some too)
I know my man has been giving
Some love away (I don't mind)
(I don't mind, I don't mind)
But how much love do you think
I can lose in one day
(Lose in one day)
I don't feel like, ooh
My man been doing me wrong, no
Just as long as he takes care of home
(Taking care of business)
Sure enough know how
(Taking care of home)
I know my man is fooling around
With other girls, yes, I do
But understanding is the best thing
In the world (ooh, yeah) yeah
You might think that you're pulling
A fast one on me (shut your mouth)
But you're just getting the bone
While I'm getting the meat
(What you say)
I don't feel like my man
Is doing me wrong, no
Just as long as he takes care of home
(Taking care of business)
He's doing all right
(Taking care of home)
He's taking care of business
(Ooh, yeah)
He's doing his homework
(Taking care of homework) yeah
He knows how to move me
(Ooh, yeah) yeah
He knows how to groove me
(Knows how to rock me)
Oh, baby (ooh, yeah)
He knows how to take care of home
You picked me up
Oh, yes you did
When nobody else would
I know you did
And you did things
For me, my baby
That nobody else could
I know you did
You gave me your heart
But I couldn't be true
But I still got that
Same sweet feeling for you
Sweet baby, mmm
We had a love
Oh, yes, we did
Beyond compare
I know we did
And when I needed you
Oh, Lordy
You were always there
I know you were
I had my chance
But I couldn't come through
Now I still got that
Same sweet feeling for you
Sweet baby, oh, yeah
I got that feeling
When I hear your name
That old lonesome feeling
Keep coming back again
I get that feeling
And I cry out in the night
I need you, baby, oh, darling
To say everything's all right
Come back, baby, oh, yeah
Where you belong
I hope you will
Please forgive me
Oh, darling
For doing you wrong
I hope you will
I'm so sorry for all
The pain I put you through
But I still got that
Same sweet feeling for you
Sweet baby, mmm
I got that feeling
Everything I do
I get that feeling
For nobody but you
Sometime in the midnight hour
I get so lonesome
I need you, baby
I need you, baby
I need you, baby
To stay right here by my side
When you wake up tomorrow
Will you forget the things you said tonight
Or will I be just another girl
In your revolving world
When you wake up tomorrow
Will you say to me
All the things I love to hear
Will you answer to my call
For more love
After all is said and done
Let's keep the fire burning
Let's keep the fire burning
Let's enjoy what we have tonight
Emotions running wild
Sharing laughter like a child
Let's use the time it takes to find us
Take my will
Make time stand still
Let's make the world revolve around us
When you wake up tomorrow
Will I look the same as when
You had the look of love in your eyes
Or will it seem like a misty scene
Love fading in a dream
When you wake up tomorrow
Will you remember the things you said tonight
Were those words spoken just in vain
Can we relive those moments without pain
I know when you're gone
The memory lingers on
I won't forget that love found us
Let's hold each other tight
Cherish what we have tonight
And maybe someday love might find us
Love me good, it's understood
I love to know when you are lonely
I love to know when you are blue
if I can`t see that look in your eyes
the look I hope I'd see in you
I hope some day you say you love me
That would mean so much to me
But in the meantime I would make it happen
I`ll sing a lovesong to you.
I`ll sing a lovesong to you, babe
I`ll sing a lovesong to you
Take away the sadness,
and put a smile on your face (yes I do)
I`ll sing a lovesong to you.
Oh yeah I`ll sing a lovesong to you, babe
I`ll sing a lovesong to you
Take away the sadness
and put a smile on your face

If that all said is really true,
all things in time
but I just, I just keep on hoping,
that some day you would look my way
but in the meantime Oh I'll make you happy
I`ll sing a lovesong to you.
I`ll sing a lovesong to you, baby

nananananananananananananananana
Oh yes I will
I just sing a lovesong to you
I can't believe that it's real
The way that you make me feel
A burning deep down inside
A love that I cannot hide
Our love is you and me baby
That makes the world go 'round
And if you've been doin' lovin' with me
Layin' all my troubles down
Here I am, baby
Come and take me
Here I am, baby
Come and take me
Take me by the hand
Show me
Here I am, baby

For a helpin' hand

But it don't take much from me
Just my cup of Joe
Oh there's love inside me
I believe there's going to be an explosion
It's tough for me, oh baby
I can do worry
Tell me all your troubles
You won't ever have to worry now
Just one more thing, ask everybody
Everybody you see, no, no
You'll find yourself lost
And alone on a darkened street
Here I am, baby
Come and take me
Here I am, baby
Come and take me
Take me by the hand
Show me
Here I am, take me
Here I am, show me, won't you
Here I am, baby
Come and take me
Won't you teach me, baby?
Won't you take me by the hand?
Teach me
