Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
I got your picture hanging on my wall
But it can't seem to come to me
When I call your name
I realized it's just a picture in a frame
I read your letters but you're not here
They don't move me, they don't groove me
Like when I hear your sweet voice
Whispering in my ear
I play my games of fantasy
I pretend I don't see reality
I need the shelter of your arms to comfort me
I got some memories you look back on
Though they help me when you're gone
I'm well aware nothing can
Take the place of you being there
No other sound is quite the same as your name
No touch can do half as much
To make me feel better
Let's stay together
I'm so
So glad we got the real thing, baby
So glad we got the real thing
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
(Clarence Paul/William "Mickey" Stevenson/Barney Ales)
(with Mary Wells)
BOTH: Wo wo wo...
HIM: What's the matter with you, baby, what's the matter?
What did I do wrong?
HER: Do you really wanna know?
HIM: I wanna know, what's the matter with you, baby?
HER: You know that you done me wrong
HIM: Sorry, didn't mean no harm
Oh baby, let me take you out tonight
Make every little thing all right
HER: You know you told me there would never be another
And you know you lied
When you lied, you hurt me, baby
HIM: When I left and I went away
I didn't know how much I loved you until today
HER: Oh baby, leavin' me wasn't right
And now you wanna take me out tonight
HIM: Mary, won't you let me get on your good side?
HER: If I did that, Marvin, it would hurt my pride
HIM: Hey, let me make it up to you if I can
HER: I can't do it, don't you understand?
HIM: What's the matter with you, baby, what's the matter?
HER: I told you that you done me wrong
HIM: Well, can you forgive me, Mary, please forgive me?
HER: I'll try, but it'll take some time
HIM: Hurry up, hurry up, before I lose my mind
HER: I've got a feelin' everything is gonna work all right
But you can't take me out tonight
BOTH: Wo wo wo... (and fade)
Woah-oh-oh, ooo
(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, to late to
Stop, look, yes, listen to your heart
Hear what it's saying
Stop, look, listen to your heart
Hear what it's saying
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 sharing love, you feel within
So jump right in
Head over heels, and fall right in
It's never too late, to late to
Stop, look, listen to your heart
Hear what it's saying
Stop, look, oh, listen to your heart
Hear what it's saying
Love, love, love
(Both)
Ooo, hey
Darlin', darlin', stop and look
(Stop right now and listen to your heart)
Oh, listen to your heart hear what it's saying
(Can't you see that it's not too late)
Stop and look and listen to your heart hear what it's saying
Stop and listen to your heart right now
(Stop, look, listen to your heart hear what it's saying)
Oh, can't you see that it's not too late
(Stop, look, listen to your heart hear what it's saying)
Darlin' stop and look and listen to your heart hear what it's saying
(Stop baby)
Stop right now and listen to your heart
(And listen to your heart hear what it's saying)

After bitter tears have fall form your eyes
1000 times you ask yourself why
The one guy you love have departed
And now you're left alone and broken hearted
Love it comes and it goes
How long it's gonna last nobody knows
That's the way love is, baby
(That's the way love is)
That's the way love is, sugar
(That's the way love is)
That's how it is
I know you're waling down a lonesome road
And you're heart is carrying a heavy load
You feel like you ain't got a friend
And your whole world is caving in
A 1000 times you've been told
You better forget him now that his gone
Don't you know baby
That's the way love is, honey
(That's the way love is)
That's the way love is, baby
(That's the way love is)
That's how it is
That's how it is
Let me tell you
The road to love is rough sometimes
Don't let it get the best of you
I've been hurt by a love so many times
So I know what you're going through
You wish that you were never born
You better forget him now that he's gone
Don't you know baby
That's the way love is, baby
(That's the way love is)
That's the way love is, honey
(That's the way love is)
That's how it is
Dreamed of you this morning,
Then came the dawn and ,
I thought that you were here with me,
If you could only see how much I loved you,
You'd wanna trust me
Oh in my dreams I was loving you
Every place that you wanted me to
Since I've been having dreams and fantasies baby
I'd like to make love to you right here baby
hooo, I got this real strong need that loves you everywhere
I won't stop until I find your passion flowing like wine
Baby, baby please let me do it to you
I never gave head before
but there's always the first you know
So I made up my mind soon I'll be loving you
That's all nasty head, I made up my mind
Soon I'll be loving,girl I know where I'm gonna drink
I can't wait to touch you

eat you up my dear
so that your mood will be revealing
Baby,and soon as I go back out your way
I want give you some head baby I'm a knock you right up woman

Ah I'm gonna give the ultimate love baby the ultimate love baby
Don't you know I can handle you
So soon so soon I'll be loving you ah Janice
(Pamela Sawyer/Gloria 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
Yeah, wanna talk
(Keep gettin' it on, keep gettin' it on)
Talk about gettin' it on
(Keep gettin' it on, keep gettin' it on)
Well early in the morning
(Keep gettin' it on, keep gettin' it on)
Talk 'bout gettin' it on
(Keep gettin' it on, keep gettin' it on, keep gettin' it on)
You wanna have some good lovin'
And plenty good time, oh yeah
Don't just talk about it
(Keep gettin' it on)
Everybody start gettin' it on
(Keep gettin' it on)
(Keep gettin' it on, keep gettin' it on, keep gettin' it on)
Would you rather make love children?
As opposed to walk, like you know you should?
Don't you love to love somebody, think about the people
Make you feel so good, yeah come on
Oh don't you want somebody, think about your good now
Yeah, you got the good decision, come on
Just bring it all out, would you wait for Lord Jesus
Tryna tell the people to come on and get it on, yes Lord, get it on
Get it on, you got to get it on
Get it on, you got to get it on
Get it on, you got to get it on
Get it on, you got to, you got to, you got to
Get it on, you got to get it on
Get it on, you got to get it on
Get it on, you got to get it on
Get it on, you got to get it on
Let's get it, let's get it
Get it on, you got to get it on
Get it on, you got to get it on
Get it on, you got to get it on
Get it on, you got to, you got to, you got to
Get it on, you got to get it on
Get it on, you got to get it on

Get it on, you got to, you got to, you got to
Get it on, you got to get it on
Get it on, you got to get it on
Get it on, you got to get it on
You were my wife, my life, my hopes and dreams
For you to understand what this means, I shall explain
I stood all the jealousy, all the bitchin' too
Yes, I'd forget it all once in bed with you
Ooo darling how could we end up like this?
Oh baby let me reminisce
Oh and when we, woo, stopped the hands of time
You set my soul on fire, my one desire
Was to love you and think of you with pride
And keep you satisfied, oh baby oh baby
We could not bear the mental strain
Leave you, I laugh at men too
Now you see how much you hurt me
But if you ever need me, I'll be by your side
Though the many happy times we had
Can never really outweigh the bad
Oh I'll never love nobody like I loved you baby
It's time for us to say farewell, farewell my darlin'
Maybe we'll meet down the line
It's too late for you and me, it's too late for you and I
Much too late for you to cry
It's too late for you and me, much too late for you and I
It's too late for you and me, much too late for you to cry baby
Ah we tried, God knows we tried
Now it's too late to live and love and ah it's too late baby
It's too late for you and me, much too late for you to cry
Oh oh ohhh it's much too late
Oh, If I should die tonight, oh, baby
Though it be far before my time
I won't die blue, sugar, yeah
'Cause I've known you
Ooh, oh, how many eyes
Have seen their dream?
Oh, how many arms
Have felt their dream?
How many hearts, baby
Have felt their world stand still?
Millions never
They never, never
And millions never will, baby
They never will
Whoo, If I should die tonight, love
Darlin', far before my, whoa, my time
I won't die blue
'Cause I've known you
I'm so grateful, baby, greatful that you're lovin' me
My desire
Is to love you till
I'm no longer here and never tired
Love has been so good to me, me
I'm so thankful
Ooh-ooh, how many eyes
Have seen their dream?
How many arms
Have felt their dream?
How many hearts, oh, darlin'
Have felt their world stand still?
Oh, Lord
Oh, millions never
No, never, never
And millions never will, sugar
They never will
If I should die tonight, ah, baby
I just want you to keep this one thought in mind
That I will never die blue
'Cause I've known you
How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)
James Taylor
(Holland, Dozier, Holland) 1964
How sweet it is to be loved by you [C Am D7 G G7]
How sweet it is to be loved by you [C Am D7 G C7]
I needed the shelter of someone's arms and there you were [G Em D C7]
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs
and there you were [G Em D C7]
With sweet love and devotion
deeply touching my emotion [G C7 G C7]
I want to stop and thank you baby [G C7]
I just want to stop and thank you baby [G]
How sweet it is to be loved by you [C Am D7 G G7]
How sweet it is to be loved by you [C Am D7 G C7]
I close my eyes at night,
wondering where would I be without you in my life [G Em D C7]
Everything I did was just a bore,
everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before [G Em D C7]
But you brightened up for me all of my days
With a love so sweet in so many ways [G C7 G C7]
I want to stop and thank you baby [G C7]
I want to stop and thank you baby [G]
How sweet it is to be loved by you [C Am D7 G G7]
How sweet it is to be loved by you [C Am D7 G C7]
You were better for me than I was for myself [G C7]
For me, there's you and there ain't nobody else [G C7]
I want to stop and thank you baby [G C7]
I just want to stop and thank you baby [G]
How sweet it is to be loved by you [C Am D7 G G7]
How sweet it is to be loved by you [C Am D7 G C7]
See those flowers, they need love
see the bluebirds, they need love
see the babies, they need love
all God's children, oh need love
see your mother, she needs love
and my father, he needs love
that's true baby, and I need love too
see those rain drop, rivers they need love
and the mountains and the valleys, they need love
God forgive us, and send us more love from above
don't find good love every day, we ought to think
before we throw good love away
doesn't matter, what you are
a thief or a beggar or even a superstar
as long as you were made by God above
oh, I know, I know, you need love, we need love
baby, oh, I need love, I need your love, (I'm standing here), oh baby standing in the need of love, I need love
I need it, I got to have it baby
oh can't you see that I'm standing in the need
I'm still here cause I need love
I'm still with you dear
cause I need your love
and I know, oh yes I know
though you feel you don't need loving,
you still need loving too, oh yes you do
it don't matter no, it doesn't matter what you are
a thief or a beggar or a superstar
as long as the Lord made you from above
I know, I know
you were made for love(cause love is what you need and understanding) oh, understanding
(various voice overs and adlibs) you were made for love, sweet understanding why can't we see we were made for love
you were made for love baby, sweet understanding, why can't we see, we (you) were made for love (why is it so hard for us today to see the real) we were made from love, you were made of love baby you were made to love baby
what's the only thing that's gonna get us together (love's the only thing that's gonna make this cold-blooded world alright) what is this we're singing about for the love of Jesus, let's do it
I need a whole lot of love, sugar
I need a whole lot of sweet love
it's a fact,
(who) even the slimy seal needs love
(who) all of the folks in jail need love
(who) even a mean old man needs love
THE END OF OUR ROAD
Marvin Gaye
It's over, it's all over
Said it's over, it's all over baby
I've gotta get away from you fast as I can
Oh you're too much for me woman
More than my heart could stand
Like a kid behind the wheel
You been reckless with my heart
If I stay around you sure to tear it all apart
Said the road's got to end somewhere, honey honey
Every road's got to end somewhere
Now is the time for the showdown
so let me give you the low down
Oh we've come to the end of our road
Just think about all the times you promised to call
I sat home lonely
You only did it cause you know I loved you only
Runnin', runnin', 'round with every guy in town
I'm telling you woman no longer will I be your clown
Said the road's got to end somewhere
Every road has got to end somewhere
Well I'm tired of your stuff
Said enough is enough
We've come to the end of our road
I can't take it no more
You made more sense when you begged and you pleaded
Talkin' bout I'm the one you're needing
Said I done had my fill of you
Then you told me the end
I just broke up running out of tears
Tell you I couldn't cry if I wanted to
The road's got to end somewhere
Every roads got to end somewhere
Time and again I begged you to slow down
So I'm giving you the love down
We've come to the end of our road
Bye, bye, bye baby
Do you wanna do it lets it get it on
but how you gonna act this time around
before I take it off down to the skin
lets get an understanding
Girl you didn't understand my philosophy
you did not understand
you just ran away from me
Oh I miss you baby
ohh I miss you baby, I miss you
you're the best I ever had
You're so bad baby
but I must like you like that
although you won't let me control this or that
contantly playing this tit for tat
Ah now I see you're coming straight to the point
you say the more you get baby
ah the more you want me
yeah darling you're not waisting my time
what I see baby is so hard to find
although you've been all over town baby
having your affairs I still have to accept you back
angel though you're promiscuious I don't mind a bit cause you're still the greatest lay even when you're miles away
Girl if you run away again
surely my heart would never mend
don't tell me the love we made
was just for old times sake
staying up waiting for you to come home at night
was just so hard to take
she said that pain might never mend
so let's be sometime lovers
oh baby that's when my poor heart broke up
(Chorus) Well if you got a girl and you want her for your wife you got to treat her good and love her all your life.

(with Mary Wells)
Once upon a time I almost lost my mind
I was lonely, so lonely
Once upon a time
Hoping every day things would go my way
Then you came into my life
Now everything is fine
I never knew what love could do till I met you
Now everything is oh so cozy
Now my skies are blue all because of you
I'm so glad; I was lonely
Once upon a time
in the evening
when the sun goes down
oh...you'll find me
hangin'round
cause the nightlife
aint no good life
but it's my life....oh...yes it is
many people just like you and me

oh...from that world of broken dreams
yes the nightlife ain't no good life
but it's my life... oh yes it is
sometimes it's sad...
then again it's happy..oh..mmmm sometimes

There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he
And then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return"
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return"
Maybe there'll come a time when i won't be sad and lonely
just suppose i could love you from the very start, maybe
heaven knows i could show you with an open heart, baby
you're the one that I've been waiting for
in this loneliness forever more
baby, i know you're the one for me
can it be that you're needing me as i need you, honey?
(promise me)
promise me if we part and i never knew, funny
deep inside my heart i hope and pray
that someday you'll come to me and say
"baby, i know you're the one for me"
maybe there'll come a time when i won't be sad and lonely
love is strong and i'm betting that it will come my way, gladly
if i'm wrong and mistaken, then i'll have to pay, sadly
no other love could ever be the same
if we fail, there's just yourself to blame
oh baby, i know you're the one for me
maybe there'll come a time when i won't be sad and lonely
so lonely
maybe there'll come a time when i won't be sad and lonely
you're the one for me
you're the one for me
all of my life
you're the one for me
i'll never have another love
you're the one for me
for the rest of my life
you're the one for me
ooh Baby please turn yourself around
ahh baby so I can love you
ohh baby baby
I'll make you feel so good
ohh baby just like you want me to
ohhh
ohh baby you sure do love to ball
ohh baby you sure do love to ball
ohh baby I hope you never freeze
I love you I love you so much
Ohh baby baby don't ever go no where
ohh baby I'll love you night and day
ohh baby you sure do love to ball
ohh baby you sure do love to ball
ohh I just love you that's all
I've got my mind made up baby
There are no doubts (Ohh baby)
Since you're my foxy lady, foxy lady
Ohh baby you sure do love to ball
ohh baby you sure do love to ball
My lady my baby sure does love to ball
(on my mind there's....)
All I know that if we should ever
Ever, ever ever ever part
That one day will surely break my heart
Got to get ready, got ot get ready
(ohh)
Ohh baby You sure do love to ball
Ohh baby you sure do love to ball
You
Marvin Gaye
Written by: Jack Goga/Ivy Jo Hunter/Jeffrey Bowen
You, you I see in my mirror in the mornin'
Instead of seein' me
I see you, I see your face
And inside me is a growing need for your embrace
In the light of day, though our faces meet
Someone there might see someone else speak
Till the dark of night, while the moon is new
While we whisper words of love in our secret rendezvous
Somethin's wrong I know, girl I love you so
Yes I need you, I need you baby
Oh you, my sweetest joy
You can afford the best of life
I'm just a heartbreakin' boy
Oh you've given your love to me
Girl, I can't let you hurt yourself by being seen with me
We're worlds apart, so close yet very far
So we must hide the love we're feelin' in our hearts
We meet in shadows, your friends must never know
That we are lovers, darlin'
Alhough it hurts me so, for your sake no one must see
The press of love you're givin' me
But you know, I need you baby
One day I'll make the break, my love will start to shine
I can tell the world that you are mine, all mine
Till then we must go on the way we have before
And never let it show without each other's souls
I'll never one-way track 'cause there's no turnin' back
Oh I need you baby
(repeat verse 1 and fade)
You're A Wonderful One
Marvin Gaye
Written by: Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.
You are so wonderful
That being near you is all I'm living for
You show me more kindness in little ways
Than I've ever known in all my days
Tell me we'll stay together
Let me love you forever
'Cause you're a wonderful one
You're a wonderful one
(From now on, backing vocals: "Wonderful one")
In you there is a rare quality
Your love, baby, it means the world
For me you're always concerned
And you ask nothin', baby, in return
You're really more than I deserve
>From my heart I mean these words
You're a wonderful one
You're a wonderful one
Oh you're a wonderful one
Baby, you're a wonderful one
Sweetheart, you're a wonderful one
My darlin', you're a wonderful one
Ooo you're a wonderful one
Ooo you're a wonderful one
Mmm hmm you're a wonderful one
Baby, you're a wonderful one
You're really more than I deserve
>From my heart I mean these words
You're a wonderful one
You're a wonderful one
Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down
But your love, you're always around
Words of confidence you speak to me
Baby, and you place a tender kiss on my cheek
It makes my burden a little bit lighter
It makes my life a little bit brighter
'Cause you're a wonderful one
You're a wonderful one
(repeat and fade):
Oh you're a wonderful one
Baby, you're a wonderful one
etc.
(Renaldo Benson/Al Cleveland/Marvin Gaye)
Ah, wholy holy
Come together
Wholy holy
People got to come together
And I know with the strength, power and all the feeling
Wholy holy
Wholy holy
Oh Lord, come on get together, one another
Oh Lord
Wholy holy
Wholy holy
Wholy holy we believe in one another
Wholy holy we believe in Jesus
Jesus left a long time ago, said he would return
He left us a book to believe in
In it we've got an awful lot to learn
Oh, wholy holy
Oh Lord
We can conquer hate forever, yes we can
Ah, wholy holy, Oh Lord
We can rock the world's foundation
Yes we can
Better believe it
Wholy holy together and wholy
Holler love across the nation
Oh, oh
Wholy holy
We proclaim love, our salvation
Oooh, ooh...
I remember like it was yesterday
we were over Gwen's,and we were trying one more time to make amends
Oh yes we were
Suddenly it occured to me it did not matter
whether I was mad at her
or she was at me
Nawww understanding my condition I must surely be a wishing and a hoping to be free
Chorus
She said... You can leave, but it's going to cost you ....
She said... You can leave,but it's going to cost you.
..
She said ... you can lea..ve, but it's gonna cost you dearly
you....can leave but it gonna cost you how dearly
Ooohhhhhhhhh
Sometimes my eyes were red as fire
Intoxicated ...
Sometimes the spirit was moving on me
I had to fight to defend my life
I'm gone,I'm gone,I'm gone(get use to it baby)
I'm gone,I', gone,I'm gone(get use to it baby)
You use to say that I was a gorgeous hunk of man...
that didn't help me baby Ah...when you were on the stand
You know, when you say your marriage vows, they're supposed to be for real. I mean...
if you think back about what you really said, you know, about, honor and loving and
obeying till death do us part and all. But it shouldn't be that way, it should...it
should, it shouldn't be lies because it turns out to be lies. If you don't honor what
you said, you lie to God. The words should be changed.
Ooo now as I recall, we tried a million times
Again and again and again, and that isn't all
I gave my love to you each time to make amends
Suddenly I start to realize I can't make it
Pretty birds fly away, I had to leave you for my health's sake
What to do? Make you pay, for leaving you, my fine, is to pay forever
So if a fresh new love comes in, I won't say those words again
Instead I'll say I'll try to love and protect you
With all my heart as long as you want me to baby
Ooo if I love again I'm gonna try a new way this time
Memories of the things we did; some we're proud of, some we hid
So when two people have to part, sometimes it makes them stronger
Do you remember all of the bullshit, baby?
You say you love me with all your heart
If you ever loved me will all of your heart
You'd never take a million dollars to part
I really tried, you know I tried, oh baby
Although we tried, all of those promises was nothin' but lies
I really tried, you know how I really tried, we really lied, didn't we baby?
And on top of that you have scandalized my name
What I can't understand is if you love me
How could you turn me into the police?
Didn't I love you good and try to take care of you?
Best that I could
You were so divine
And your love was like mellow wine
Pains of love, miles of tears,
Enough to last me for my lifetime
Broken hearts last for years, soon break away to the noonday sunshine
One thing I can promise, friend: I'll never be back again
But I'm not really bitter babe
I wish you all the luck and all the love in the world,
good love in the world (good luck in the world)
But I know you'll never be satisfied
No, you still want me standin' by your side
Memories haunt you all the time, I will never leave your mind
Got judgement on your side; you've said bad things and you've lied
Still I remember some of the good things baby
Like love after dark and picnics in parks
Those are the days I'll not forget in my life
I'd rather remember, remember the joy we shared babe
I'd rather remember all the fun we had
All I ever really wanted was to love you and treat you right
All we did was fuss and fight
It don't matter baby, take a lesson from them all
I never thought I'd see the day when you'd put me through what you put me through
You tried your best, you say I gave you no rest
(repeat and fade):
When did you stop loving me? When did I stop loving you?
(Marvin Gaye/James Nyx)
Hey baby, what'cha know good
I'm just gettin' back, but you knew I would
War is hell, when will it end,
When will people start gettin' together again
Are things really gettin' better, like the newspaper said
What else is new my friend, besides what I read
Can't find no work, can't find no job my friend
Money is tighter than it's ever been
Say man, I just don't understand
What's going on across this land
Ah what's happening brother,
Oh ya, what's happening my man
Are they still gettin' down where we used to go and dance
Will our ball club win the pennant,
do you think they have a chance
And tell me friend, how in the world have you been.
Tell me what's out and I want to know what's in.
What's the deal man, what's happening
What's happening brother
Ah what's happening brother
What's happening my man
Ah what's happening brother
What's been shaken up and down the line
I want to know cause I'm slightly behind the time.
I come up hard, baby, and that ain't cool!
I didn't make it sugah, playin' by the rules!
I come up hard, babe, but now I'm fine.
I'm checkin' trouble sugah, & movin' down the line.
I come up hard, but that's OK.
'Cause
Trouble Man don't get in my way!!
I come up hard, baby!
I'm bein' fo' real, baby, cuz I'm a Troubled Man!
Gonna keep movin', gonna go to town.
I come up hard, and now I'm gettin' down!
There's only 3 things that's fa sho*:
Taxes, death and trouble
This I know, baby. this I know.
Yeah, you never let it sweat you baby,

Got me singin', yeah, yeah, hooo
I come up hard, baby, I had to fight!
Takin' care of business, with all my migh!

Then start all over. And WIN AGAIN!!
I come up hard, but that's OK!
'Cause Trouble Man don't get in my way
Hey,Hey!
Now I been some places and I seen some faces
I got my connections they take my directions
Don't care what they say. that's OK, they don't bother me
I'm ready to make it, don't care 'bout the weather
Don't care 'bout no trouble, got myself together
No laughin', no cryin', my protection's all around me
I come up hard, baby
I've been for real, baby
With the Trouble Man
Movin', goin' tight

There's only 3 things for sure:
Taxes, death and trouble

I didn't make it, baby, playin' by the rules
I've come of heart, baby, but now I'm fine
I'm checkin' trouble, sure movin' down the line
(*That are for sure)
Your eyes don't shine like they used to shine
And the thrill is gone when your lips meet mine
I'm affraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, my darling and so is love
Your words don't mean what they used to me
They were once inspired, now they're just routine
I'm affraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, my darling and so is love
I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci and get myself a clown's disguise
And learn to laugh like Pagliacci with tears in my eyes
You look the same
You're a lot the same
But my heart says "No, no, you're not the same"
I'm affraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
So is love, the masquerade is over
So is love
I WANT YOU
Marvin Gaye
I want you the right way
I want you but I want you to want me too
I want you to want me baby
Just like I want you
I'll give you all the love I wanted to
But half a love is all I fell
Well it's too bad, it's just too sad
You don't want me
But I want to change your mind
Some ways, somehow
(repeat chorus)
I wonder if love is just a fantasy
To share it's freshness, pure and fair
Oh don't play with suffering,
You should cherish for life
Don't you want to care
And in lonely I bear
(repeat chorus)
Ooo, you say you're feelin' bad 'cause
The least thing makes you cry
Sounds like a real bad case
Of a girl who needs a guy
I think I know the perfect jewel
One you ought to try
Take a heart that's full of love
On this you can rely
CHORUS:
If you need some quick reaction, take this heart of mine
And if you need some satisfaction, take this heart of mine
And if you're tired of being lonely, take this heart of mine
I think I can help you if you'll only take this heart of mine
I may not be a doctor who can cure your ills
Goodbye to all those different drugs and hard-swallowed pills
My remedy is older than the tale of Jack and Jill
My prescription is the kind you love to have refilled
(chorus)
Got a lovin' side (this heart of mine)
That's pure as gold (this heart of mine)
Take it, it's yours (this heart of mine)
To have and to hold (this heart of mine)
And if you do that, baby (this heart of mine)
After we grow old (this heart of mine)
It'll be the greatest love story (this heart of mine)
That was ever told (this heart of mine)
Oh, baby (one more time, let's hold)
Oh, medicine won't cure you
Just leave you at the most
The relief is only temporary
Pretty soon will go
But love can last a lifetime
When two hearts are close
Take as much as you want to
There is no overdose
(repeat chorus and fade)
(Al Cleveland/Marvin Gaye/Renaldo Benson)
I just want to ask a question
Who really cares?
To save a world in despair
There'll come a time, when the world won't be singin'
Flowers won't grow, bells won't be ringin'
Who really cares?
Who's willing to try to save a world
That's destined to die
When I look at the world it fills me with sorrow
Little children today are really gonna suffer tomorrow
Oh what a shame, such a bad way to live
All who is to blame, we can't stop livin'
Live, live for life
But let live everybody
Live life for the children
Oh, for the children
You see, let's save the children
Let's save all the children
Save the babies, save the babies
If you wanna love, you got to save the babies
All of the children
But who really cares
Who's willing to try
Yes, to save a world
Yea, save our sweet world
Save a world that is destined to die
Oh, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Oh, oh dig it everybody
One For My Baby
It's quarter to three,
there's no one in the place
Except you and me
So set 'em' up Joe,
I got a little story
I think you should know
We're drinking my friend,
to the end of a brief episode
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
I got the routine, put another nickel
In the machine
Feeling so bad, won't you make the music
Easy and sad
I could tell you a lot, but it's not
In a gentleman's code
Just make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
You'd never know it,
but buddy I'm a kind of poet
And I've got a lot of things I'd like to say
And when I'm gloomy, won't ya listen to me
Till it's talked away
Well, that's how it goes,
and Joe I know your gettin'
Anxious to close
Thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn't mind
My bending your ear
But this torch that I found,
It's gotta be drowned
Or it's soon might explode
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
Long, it's so long, winding road
Marvin: You are my pride and joy
And I just love you, love you darlin'
Like a baby boy loves his toy
You've got kisses, sweeter than honey
And I'll work seven days a week to give you all my money
And that's why, you are my pride and joy
And I'm tellin' the world that you're my
Martha & The Vandellas: Pride and joy
Marvin: Pride and joy
Vandellas: Pride and joy
Marvin: I believe I'm your, baby boy
Vandellas: Baby boy
Marvin: And I know you're my, you're my pride and joy
Vandellas: Pride and joy
Marvin: Yeah baby
Vandellas: Baby boy
Marvin: Yeah baby
Vandellas: Baby boy
Marvin: You, you are, my pride and joy
And a love like mine
Yeah baby,
Is somethin' nobody could ever destroy
You pick me up
Vandellas: Pick me up
Marvin: When I'm down
Vandellas: When I'm down
Marvin: And when we go out pretty baby
You shake up the whole town
And that's why
Vandellas: That's why
Marvin: You are my
Vandellas: Are my
Marvin: Pride and joy
Vandellas: Pride and joy
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Pride and joy
Pride and joy
Pride and joy
Marvin: In the midnight hour
And I, baby boy
Vandellas: Baby boy
Marvin: Whoo
Vandellas: Pride and joy
Marvin: My pride and joy
And I love you,
Like a baby, loves his toy
Ha, hey, yeah, yeah yeah
Vandellas: Pride and joy
Marvin: My pride and joy
Vandellas: Pride and joy
Marvin: Whoo
Vandellas: Pride and joy
Marvin: In the mornin'...
Vandellas: Pride and joy
Marvin: And I..., baby boy

Pretend you're happy when you're blue
It isn't very hard to do
And you'll find happiness without an end
Whenever you pretend
Remember anyone can dream
And nothing's bad as it may seem
The little things you haven't got
Could be a lot if you pretend
You'll find a love you can share
One you can call all your own
Just close your eyes, she'll be there
You'll never be alone
And if you sing this melody
You'll be pretending just like me
The world is mine, it can be yours, my friend
So why don't you pretend?
And if you sing this melody
You'll be pretending just like me
The world is mine, it can be yours, my friend
So why don't you pretend?
ONE MORE HEARTACHE
Marvin Gaye
One more heartache I can take it
My heart is carrying such a heavy load
One more ache would break it
Just like a camel with a heavy pack
One last straw I tell ya
I said it broke the camel's back
Assh, aaah
I can't take it
I can't stand it
One more heartache
It would turn me right around
First you build my hopes up high
And then let me down
Like a house you built with toothpicks
Stacked upon the kitchen table
One last toothpick falling down
The foundation was not able
Aaah, aaaah
I can't take it
I can't take it
Mmm, now, now baby
One more heartache
Would just seem too much load
I'm fed up with the heartache
One more and I'll explode
Like a toy balloon that's filled
With as much air as it can take
One more cup of air and
That balloon has got to break
Aaah, aaah,
I can't take it
I can't stand it
it's so hard
Without a love, without a love
Oh baby, can't take another one
Once Upon A Time
Marvin Gaye/Mary Wells
Written by: Clarence Paul/Dave Hamilton/William "Mickey" Stevenson/Barney Ales
Once upon a time I almost lost my mind
I was lonely, so lonely
Once upon a time
Hoping every day things would go my way
Then you came into my life
Now everything is fine
I never knew what love could do till I met you
Now everything is oh so cozy
Now my skies are blue all because of you
I'm so glad; I was lonely
Once upon a time
My Mistake (Was To Love You)
Diana Ross
(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
My Funny Valentine,
Sweet comic valentine -
You make me smile, with my heart.
Your looks are laughable
Un-photagraphable
Yet you'r my fav'rite work of art.
Is your figure, less than greek
Is your mouth, a little weak?
When you open it to speak,
are you smart?
But don't change a hair for me,
Not if you care for me -
Stay little Valentine, stay
Each Day is Valentine's Day.
(musical interlude)
Is your figure, less than greek
Is your mouth, a little weak?
When you open it to speak,
are you smart?
Don't baby don't change a hair for me,
Not if you care for me -
Stay little Valentine, stay
Each Day is Valentine's Day.

CHORUS (BOTH):
It takes two, baby

Me and you, just takes two

It takes two, baby
To make a dream come true, just takes two
HER: One can have a broken heart, livin' in misery

HIM: Two can make just any place seem just like bein' at home

Just takes two, just takes two
HER: One can go out to a movie, lookin' for a special treat

Let your conscience be your guide

Well, I'll be doggone if I wouldn't work all day
And I'll be doggone if I wouldn't bring you my pay
But if I ever caught you running around
Blowing my money all over this town
Then I wouldn't be doggone
Hey, Hey! I'd be long gone
Then I wouldn't be doggone
I'd be long gone
Now hey, hey, hey!
I'll be doggone if you ain't a pretty thing
And I'll be doggone if you ain't warm as a breath of spring
And if we live to be a hundred years old
If you ever let that spring turn cold
Then I wouldn't be doggone
Hey! I'd be long gone
Oh I wouldn't be doggone
I'd be long gone
Now did you hear what I say ?
Well now what I say
Oh, believe me Well, every woman should try
To be what ever has man wants her to be
And I don't want much
All I want from you is for you to be true to me
Well, I'd be doggone if love ain't a man's best friend
Oh, baby, And I'll be doggone if you ain't the loving end
Though I know you make me feel like no baby could
If I ever found out that you're no good
Then I wouldn't be doggone
Hey, hey, hey, I'd be long gone
Well I wouldn't de doggone baby
I'd be long gone

If I Could Build My Whole World Around You
Marvin Gaye/Tammi Terrell
Written by: Harvey Fuqua/Johnny Bristol/Vernon Bullock
M:
If I could build my whole world around you, darlin'
First I'd put heaven by your side
Pretty flowers would grow wherever you walk, honey
And over your head would be the bluest sky
And I'd take every drop of rain
And wash all your troubles away
I'd have the whole world built around you
And that would be all right, oh yes it would
T:
If I could build my whole world around you
I'd make your eyes the morning sun
I'd put so much love where there is sorrow
I'd put joy where there's never been love
And I'd give my love to you
To keep for the rest of your life
And happiness would surely be ours
And that would be all right, oh yes it would
BOTH: Doo doo doo doo...
M: Oh, if I could build my whole world around you
I'd give you the greatest gift any woman could possess
T: And I'd step into this world you've created
And give you true love and tenderness
And there'd be something new with every tomorrow
To make this world better as days go by
(repeat and fade):
M: If I could build my whole world around you
T: If I could build my whole world around you
BOTH: Then that would be all right, oh yeah
I met a little girl, sure was fine
Pretty little thing just about blew my mind
She took me home and ahh made love to me
I knew right then and there this is where I wanted to be
Most of my life I had been all, all alone
And you're so sweet to me, don't think i'll ever roam
And then one day as time will pass
I had this feeling that our love would last
Nothing could go wrong and it seemed everything I did
Seemed to please you, all the heartaches you hid
Then one night after we made it, and we were through
That's when I decided I wanted to marry you
Do you take this woman to be your lawful wedded wife
To love, hold and cherish for the rest of your life?
I do, yes I do, I do darlin'
'Cause I love you
1964
Once you really loved me
Once I really loved you
1976
Then time would change you
As time would really change me
We thought our love would stand the test of time
And as I sing this song right now I wonder today, today
If you're a friend of mine
Cry cry cyr-I have done some crying
Woman, you have caused my tears to flow
Cry cry cry-d you cry about me?
Dou you think about the kind of love we had?
Hal le hallelejah
Hal le lu i'm free
Hal le hallelejah
Hal le lu i'm free
(crying and fade)
Flying high – in the friendly sky
Flying high without ever leavin’ the ground, no
Rest of the folks are tired and weary
Oh Lord, and have laid their bodies down
I go to the place where danger awaits me,
and it’s bound to forsake me
So stupid minded.
I can’t help it
Oh ya, some stupid minded
But I go crazy when I can’t find it
In the morning, I’ll be alright, my friend
But soon the night will bring the pains
The pain, oh the pain
Flying high in the friendly sky
Without ever leaving the ground
And I ain’t seen nothing but trouble baby
Nobody really understands, no no
And I go to the place where the good feelin’ awaits me
Self-destruction in my hand
Oh Lord, so stupid minded
Oh, and I go crazy when I can’t find it

To the boy who makes slaves out of men

I used to go out to parties
And stand around
'Cause I was too nervous
To really get down
And my body yearned to be free
So I got up on the floor and found
Someone to choose me
No more standin' along the side walls
Now I've got myself together, baby
And I'm havin' a ball
Long as you prove it
There's always a chance
Somebody watches
I'm gonna make romance
With your body, ooo baby, you dance all night
Get down and prove it, feel all right
Keep on dancin'
how much do i love you?
i'll tell you no lie
how deep is the ocean?
how high is the sky?
how many times a day do i think of you?
how many roses are sprinkled with dew?
how far would i travel to be where you are
how far is the journey from here to a star?
and if i left you, how much would i cry?
how deep is the ocean? how high is the sky?
Flying high in the friendly sky
Flying high without ever leavin' the ground, no
Rest of the folks are tired and weary
Oh Lord, and have laid their bodies down.
I go the place where danger awaits me
and it's bound to forsake me.
So stupid minded.
I can't help it
oh ya, so stupid minded.
But I go crazy when I can't find it,
In the morning, I'll be alright, my friend.
But soon the night will bring the pains,
The pain, oh the pain
Flying high in the friendly sky
Without ever leaving the ground
And I ain't seen nothing but trouble baby
Nobody really understands, no no
And I go to the place where the good feelin' awaits me
Selfdestruction in my hand
Oh Lord, so stupid minded
Oh and I go crazy when I can't find it
Well I know I'm hooked my friend
To the boy who makes slaves out of men.
And oh beleive me
Flying high in a friendly sky
Oh baby, flyin' high
Now We're makin' love
Now We're makin' love
Now We're makin' love
Where'd you get such sweet sugar
I'll be lovin' you day and night
In and out, wrong or right
'Cause I want you, baby , for my wife
Oh girl, you're so divine
You're everything I've ever wanted
You're everything that's on my mind
Is it real
That we're makin' love
That we're makin' love
That we're makin' love

People say you rule me with one wave of your hand

Oh my sweet darling did you forget your name

I never knew, that means you never will
oh one big mistake now I see
I started off thinking that you belonged to me
Cold blooded lovers waiting for the night
Exploring my treasures you got me so uptight
Your the fault that I'm.
Feeling so insane
Once we were happy
then the devil came.
oh baby, oh baby
first you make believe your mine
oh baby, oh baby
Then you make me feel like dying. ooh ooh
Once upon a time you said I set your soul on fire
I called you my honey
You were my one desire
I let you dance oh too deep within my soul
I can't believe I let you take control
Oh my sweet baby don't wait to late.
Tell me you love me and cure my heart ache.
I never thought I'd be put in this squeeze
Your trying to bring me to my great defeat.
Don't start buggin
Don't criticize
Folks that love you
Is right before your eyes
You stopped me
Got to let you go
Got to be happy got to love you so
Got to give you some
I'm the one you need
Got to be my fire
(uh ah, uh ah...)
Come on sweet honey say you don't care
Dance all your heart aches far away from here
Background: Having a love party
Used to be so real
ah I used to be your only thrill baby
ah we used to be so real
You'll never love me and you never will
But I'll always love you cause that's the way I feel
and we just can't help it cause that's the way it is
So dance n' be happy
Smile and be happy
Love and be happy
Dance, whoooo
For life is happy and love is happy
to sing is happy
Dance, whoooo
Let's be happy
and smile and be happy
live and be happy
dance, whoooo
Come Get To This
Marvin Gaye
Written by: Marvin Gaye
Girl, you've been gone away a real long time
Now I really went out of my mind
I miss your lovin' when you left, baby you did
Ah baby, come here, let me caress you
Ah ah baby your letters, ah tell me what you missed
Come here, sugar, and get to this
Ah baby, I want you here
I want to do something freaky to you
I want you to feel just what I felt ah
Ah baby, come get to this
Ooo remember, baby, how you made me feel just like a king
Ah, I've been waiting
I'm ready for you to start doin' the things
I'm trying to blow your mind
You're so fine, so petite, oh candy sweet
Ah, I've been waiting
Come here, baby, get to this
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Sweet love, sweet love, oh so good
Get back here from the depths, we have to get back
Oh, nothin's changed, you're still sweet as the mornin' rain
Girl, I'm standin' ready to
Love you, babe, make it good to you
Ooo I need your love
Don't make me wait, I can't wait
Oh I'm so impatient for your love
Come here, sweet sweet baby, get to this
Girl, I know you've been gone a long time
You nearly blew my mind, baby
Girl, you've been gone for so long
I'm so glad, glad that you call me your baby
Oooo-eeee-oooo
Up and down my back, my spine, in my brain
It injures me, babe
Anger, can make you old, yes it can
I said anger, can make you sick children, oh Jesus
Anger destroy your soul
Rage, there's no room for rage in there
There's no room for rage in here
Line up some place to go to be mad
It's a sin to treat your body bad
When anger really gets the best of us
We've really lost our heads
We often say a lof of things, oh darlin'
Wish we'd never said
Oh, reason is beyond control
And the things we do for spite
Makes me ashamed for my meanness, baby
Makes me want to the things right
Someday soon I hope and pray like Jesus
I'll reach that wiser age
Hope I will learn I really never never profit
From things I do in rage
One more time anger, more anger
When it's flaming hot
Anger burns to the bitter end
Know what I'm talkin' 'bout
And when it cools I find out too late
I have lost at love, love, love, dear friend
I said, anger will make you sick children, oh Jesus
Anger destroy your soul
I ain't gonna let you get the best of me, babe
I'm gonna go somewhere and cool
This is not the way my head's supposed to be, babe
You've got me feelin' like some silly fool
But I know a real nice place where I can go
And feel the way I'm supposed to feel
I don't want to be mad at nobody
I don't want to be feelin' bad
Up and down my back, my spine, in my brain
It injures me, babe
Anger, can make you old, yes it can
I said anger, will make you sick children, oh Jesus
Anger destroy your soul
Anger, anger
Anger, anger
Always And forever
each monet with you
is just like a dream to me
that somehow came true

with a smile

and we'll share tomorrow

Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing
Barry Manilow
(Duet with Muffy Hendrix)
Music & Lyric by Nick Ashford & Valerie Simpson
Ain't nothing like the real thing, Baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
Ain't nothing like the real thing, Baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
I've got your picture hanging on the wall
But it can't see or come to me
When I call your name
I realize it's just a picture in a frame
I read your letters when you're not here
But they don't move me and they don't groove me
Like when I hear your sweet voice
Whispering in my ear
Chorus
I Play my game of fantasy
And I pretend that I'm not in reality
I need the shelter
Of your arms to comfort me
No other sound
Is quite the same as your name
No touch can do quite as much
To make me feel better
So let's stay together
I've got the memories to look back on
And though they help me when you're gone
I'm well aware
But nothing can take the place of your being there
So glad we've got the real thing, Baby
So glad we've got the real thing
Ain't nothing like the real thing, Baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
[instrumental]
I love you

When Did You Stop Loving Me, When Did I Stop Loving You
(Marvin Gaye)
You know, when you say your marriage vows, they're supposed to be for real. I mean...
if you think back about what you really said, what it's all about, honor, loving and
obeying till death do us part and all. But it shouldn't be that way, it should...it
should, it should be lies because it turns out to be lies. If you don't honor what
you said, you lie to God. The words should be changed
Ooo now as I recall, we tried a million times
Again and again and again, and that isn't all
I gave my love to you each time to make amends
Suddenly I start to realize I can't make it
Pretty birds fly away, I had to leave you for my health's sake
What to do? Make you pay, for leaving you, my fine, is to pay forever
So if a fresh new love comes in, I won't say those words again
Instead I'll say I'll try to love and protect you
With all my heart as long as you want me to baby
Ooo if I love again I'm gonna try a new way this time
Memories of the things we did; some we're proud of, some we hid
So when two people have to part, sometimes it makes them stronger
Do you remember all of the bullshit baby? Yea,
You say you love me with all your heart
If you ever loved me will all of your heart
You'd never take $1 million to part
I really tried, you know I tried, oh baby
Although we tried, all of those promises was nothin' but lies
I really tried, you know how I tried, we really lied, didn't we baby?
And on top of that you have scandalized my name
But I can't understand, 'is if you love me
How could you turn me into the police
Didn't I love you good and try to take care of you?
Best I could, you were so divine and your love was like mellow wine
Pains of love, miles of tears, enough to last me for my lifetime
Broken hearts last for years and break away to the blue-day sunshine
One thing I can promise, friend: I'll never be back again
But we're not really bitter babe
I promise you all the love in the world, good love in the world
But I know you'll never be satisfied just to have me by your side
Memories haunt you all the time, I will never leave, you're mine
God judged me on His side; you've said bad things and you've lied
Still I remember some of the good things baby
Of love after dark and picnics in parks
Those are the days I'd love to get in my life
I'd rather remember, remember the joy we shared babe
I'd rather remember all the fun we had
All I ever really wanted was to love you and treat you right
All we did was fuss and fight
It don't matter baby, take a lesson from them all
I never thought I'd see the day when you'd put me through what you put me through
You try your best, you say I gave you no rest
(repeat and fade):
Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today, yeah
Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today
Picket lines and picket signs

All because I wanna hold you tight
But every time I reach for you baby, try to kiss you
You just jump clean out of sight
Oh I've got news for you
Baby, now I'll make place for two
I guess I'm just a stubborn kind of fellow
Got my mind made up to love you
Say yeah, yeah, yeah
Say yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm gonna love you in every way
I'm gonna love you in every way
With other girls I've wanted, I've made it just a moment

Now I know you've heard about me, bad things about me
Baby, please let me explain
Oh, I have kissed a few, I tell you, a few have kissed me too

Got my mind made up to love you
Everybody say

Everybody say

Say now everybody

There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today - Ya

Ah, what's going on
In the mean time
Right on, baby
Right on

Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today

Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no
Where did all the blue skies go?
Poison is the wind that blows from the north and south and east
Woo mercy, mercy me, mercy father
Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas, fish full of mercury
Ah oh mercy, mercy me
Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no
Radiation under ground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying
Oh mercy, mercy me
Ah things ain't what they used to be
What about this overcrowded land
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
Oh, na na...
My sweet Lord... No
My Lord... My sweet Lord

When did you stop loving me? When did I stop loving you?
Hey, hey, hey
There is a joy in a sweet word that's been spoken
And the joy in a dream that's come true
There's a joy that I get when I'm watching you baby, hey
And the joy that I get watching the skies of blue
And then there's a joy,
Oh my darling, of a crying baby
And the joy of a child that's born to you
Then there's a joy of a beautiful lady and the joy of the morning dew
It's something like the joy of loving you baby
Joy of dancin' too
It's something like the joy of lovin' you baby, yeah
Joy of being with you
Oh my darling, I'll overcome the darkest nights
Just to see your love's allright
I've got a love to give
You know I love to live
There's something 'bout the joy of lovin' you baby (repeat)
Darlin', forever, forever
You can break my heart
Forever, if you want to
I'll play the part of a fool
Just to be with you forever
Forever, darling, forever
You can taunt me
Take my love for granted
But I'll always be just a fool
Just to be with you forever
I'll be your slave
For the rest of my days
Love you more in so many ways
Just to be with you
Thrills me through and through
And darlin', forever, forever
You can taunt me
Take my love for granted
But I'll always be just a fool
Just to be with you forever
Forever, forever, I'll love you so
Forever, forever, I'll love you so

Hey hey girl you give

Good
Nothin' wrong with love
If you want to love me
Just let yourself go oh
World, I'm not the same
I can't remember my name half the time
I took a walk, I thought I'd get some air
But was really not aware of what I said or what I did
I never see the dark of night or the light of day
I took a walk into the park and never saw the children play
Everything I see is a crazy kind of mystery to me
I'm flirting with the mother of insanity
Oh, babe, where is my mind?
Since you left me it's been hard to find
Oh where, where is my mind?
It started to rain, and I felt insane
But one thing's for sure
It's going to rain forever more
Until you come back to me
Please, baby
World, I'm not the same
I go somewhere and can't remember how I came
I'm completely turned around, lost in space
It's your face I see constantly
I never know from right or wrong, or anything
I'm like a desperate man, see me try to cling
To the only other parts you've left to me
I'm flirting, I'm flirting with insanity
Oh, bring back my mind
Since you left me, honey
I can't find it
Ooh, honey, bring back my mind
Oh, I'm slippin' away
More and more every day
Please release my soul
Give me back control of my mind
Ooh, I bet you're wonderin' how I knew
'Bout your plans to make me blue
With some other guy you knew before
Between the two of us guys you know I love you more
It took me by surprise I must say
When I found out yesterday
Don'tcha know that I
Heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh I heard it through the grapevine
Oh I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be my baby, ooh, ooh, ooh)
I know a man ain't supposed to cry
But these tears I can't hold inside
Losin' you would end my life you see
'Cause you mean that much to me
You could have told me yourself
That you love someone else
Instead I
Heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be my baby, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
People say believe half of what you see, son
And none of what you hear
But I can't help bein' confused
If it's true please tell me dear
Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy you loved before?
Don'tcha know I
Heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Baby I heard it through the grapevine
Ooh I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be my baby, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Honey, honey, I know
That you're lettin' me go
Said, I heard it through the grapevine
How sweet it is to be loved by you
Yes, baby
How sweet it is to be loved by you
Ooh, baby
I needed the shelter of someone's arms
And there you were
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs
And there you were
With sweet love and devotion
Deeply touching my emotions
I want to stop and thank you baby
I want to stop and thank you baby
Hey now how sweet it is to be loved by you
Oh, baby, baby
How sweet it is to be loved by you
Yes, it is
Close my eyes at night
And wonder what would I be without you in my life
Everything was just a bore
All the things I did seems I've done them before
But you brightened up all my days
With a love so sweet in so many ways
I want to stop and thank you baby
I want to stop and thank you baby
How sweet it is to be loved by you
Oh, yes it is baby
How sweet it is to be loved by you
Yes, it is baby
You were better to me than I've been to myself
For me there's you and nobody else
I want to stop and thank you baby
I want to stop and thank you baby
Oh, how sweet it is to be loved by you
Tell the truth, baby
How sweet it is to be loved by you
Well, it's like sugar for my soul
How sweet it is to be loved by you
ooh... why should I feel so discouraged
I wanna know why should the shadow come
Oh tell me why why should I feel lonely, so lonely
And long for heaven and a home
Since Jesus is my portion
A constant friend he is
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches over me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches over me
I sing because I'm happy
And I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know Jesus watches me
Heaven must have sent you, I know
Every night I say a prayer before I go to sleep
Suddenly you were there
Your face so fine, your voice so sweet
In these arms of mine, I found you just in time
In this turn of the world
I was a lost and lonely girl
But then a miracle happened
Heaven must have sent you, I know
(Yes, I know)
I know
(Yes, I know)
Funny how my empty heart
Used to feel like a heavy load
Suddenly you were there
Like a friend on a lonesome road
Right into these arms of mine
I found you, I found you just in time
'Cause I was a lonely man
Holding out my helpless hand
Then a miracle happened
Heaven must have sent you, I know
(Yes, I know)
Our time is here now
No matter how the world is around
In your arms I find
Some kind of love and peace of mind
'Cause a miracle happened
Heaven must have sent you, I know
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Seems just yesterday you were in my arms
And in a special way you touched my heart with all your charms
And now you're gone
Oh, and I find myself
Honey, I'm all alone
And there's no love left
I don't want a thing
For you I've always cared
I did all I know to win your love and make it so
You'd always stay for eternity
Honey, what could I say
I'm telling you how could, how could you do me this way
'Cause I'm chained to your love, baby
Girl, I'm chained to your love and affections
I've got to make it right
Somehow it all went wrong
Somewhere down the line I loved and lost
Still I've got to find and it won't be long
Gonna make it right, baby
And carry you tenderly back home
'Cause I'm chained to your love and affections
'Cause I'm chained to your love
I tremble, girl I tremble
Oh, you know, you know
Baby, oh baby
Now I admit that I've never been the perfect guy
For a girl that's sweet as you
But my heart and soul cries out to you
I'm gonna make it right, baby
If you just stay, stay with me
'Cause I'm chained to your love
I'm chained to your love and affections
'Cause I'm chained to your love
Ah ah listen everybody (body), especially you girls (girls)
Is it right to be left alone when the one you love is never home
I love too hard my friends sometimes say
But I believe I believe that a woman should be loved that way
But it hurts me so inside to see you treat me so unkind
Somebody somewhere tell her it ain't fair
Can I get a witness (Can I get a witness)
I want a witness (Can I get a witness)
I want a witness (Can I get a witness)
Somebody (Can I get a witness)
Is it right to be treated so bad when you give her everything you had
Keep on talking in my sleep 'cause I haven't seen my baby all week
Now you kids who agree that this ain't the way it's supposed to be
Let me hear you, let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah
Up early in the morning with her on my mind
After finding out all night that I been cryin'
But I believe a woman's a man's best friend
And I'm gonna stick by her till the bitter end
Well she causes so much misery how's a gal supposed to be
Somebody somewhere tell her it ain't fair
Can I get a witness, can I get a witness
(Can I get a witness), I want a witness
(Can I get a witness), witness, witness
(Can I get a witness), witness, witness
(Can I get a witness)
Everybody knows espscially you girls
That a love can be sad but my beloved's twice as bad
Now you kids do all agree that ain't the way it's supposed to be
Let me hear you, let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah
I want a witness (Can I get a witness)
I want a witness (Can I get a witness)
Yeah, I want a witness (Can I get a witness)
Somebody (Can I get a witness)
Is it right to be treated so bad when you give her everything you had
Keep on talking in my sleep 'cause I haven't seen my baby all week
Now you kids you all agree is that the way it's supposed to be
Let me hear you, let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah
I want a witness (Can I get a witness)
I want a witness (Can I get a witness)
I want a witness (Can I get a witness)
I want a witness (Can I get a witness)
This is Anna's song, I'm making love all night long
Take a bath in milk, and lay on your satin sheets
Laughing, smiling
(Oh oh)
Lay a while in
(Oh oh)
Chocolate mint, candy sweets
(Living across the way)
Cross the way
(Living across the way, living across the way)
This is Anna's song, yeah
(This is Anna's song, this is Anna's song)
Keep on singing
(Loving my song)
All night long
(Loving my song)
Oh work so hard, see me making dollars
(Never worked so hard)
I know I should for my own good, what's it her smile
Makes you so stubborn and oh
Didn't you notice the snow, starting to fall
Come let us sit a while
Just listen to the children laughing and running wild
Anna, Anna, Anna
Yeah this is Anna's song
Hey baby, hey baby loving you all night long
Let it happen again and again and again baby Anna yeah
She's a child of the sun, lovingest one of all
Mmm and this is Anna's song
Yeah keep on loving me baby, loving me cross the hall
She can't do no wrong 'cos this is Anna's song
Laugh and chatter to you, kiss me Anna dear
Oh baby
Hey Anna here's your song, yeah
The one that I promise baby, promise you all along
I knew all the time that I'd find the rhyme
Oh if you wanna do it lets it get it on
but how you gonna act this time around
before we take it off down to the skin
lets get an understanding
Girl you didn't understand my philosophy
you did not understand
you just ran away from me
Oh I missed you baby
ohh I missed you badly,
Honest you, you're the best I ever had
You're so bad baby
but I must like you like that
although you won't let me control this or that
I still find you're where it's at
Ah now I see you're coming straight to the point
they say the more you get baby
ah the more you want me
yeah darling you're not waisting my time
what I see baby is so hard to find
although you've been all,all over town baby
having your affairs I still got to accept you back
angel though you're promiscuious I don't mind a bit cause you're still the greatest lay
in bed you're miles away
Girl if you run away again
surely my heart would never mend
don't tell me that the love we made
was just for old times sake
staying up waiting for you to come home at night
was just so hard to take
she said that pain might never mend
so let's be sometime lovers
oh baby that's when my poor heart broke up
Listen, baby, ain't no mountain high
Ain't no valley low, ain't no river wide enough, baby
If you need me, call me, no matter where you are
No matter how far, don't worry, baby
Just call my name, I'll be there in a hurry
You don't have to worry
'Cause baby, there ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough, ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you, baby
Remember the day I set you free
I told you, you could always count on me, girl
And from that day on I made a vow
I'll be there when you want me some way, some how
'Cause baby, there ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough, ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you, baby
Oh no darling, no wind, no rain
No winters cold can stop me baby
No, no baby, 'cause you are my love
If you ever in trouble, I'll be there on the double
Just send for me, oh baby
My love is alive way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart
If you ever need a helping hand
I'll be there on the double just as fast as I can
Don't you know that there ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough, ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you, baby
Don't you know that there ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough, ain't no river wide enough
I have
tasted success
i've been in love more or less
with a dream that will last me
a lifetime, baby
other dreams i have lost
but whatever the cost
the parade isn't passing me by
no no no no no, darling
so if the picture i paint
makes me a sinner or makes me a saint
i won't try, no, not i
to deny it, whoo
oh, i may cry with the past
but it's easier to laugh about it
when i think of my wonderful life
In this life... of... happiness and sadness
when you've lost... out on love...
and it all... ends up in madness
and you say... Love... please go away don't torture me, night and day
then someone real... someone who feel comes in.
chorus
Now I'm falling in love again
I'm falling in love again
I'm falling in love all over
I'm falling in love again
I, I found somebody, she says she love me
Im falling in love again, falling in love again, falling in love
Once again... Hey baby
She's pretty, outside and in...
She's so wonderful
I tried not to let my heart step in
But what to do, baby
What could I do
when somebody real comes in
Someone who feel comes in
Now I'm falling in love again
I'm falling in love again
I found somebody
She says she love me
I'm falling in love again
Oh, beautiful woman
Falling in love again
Falling in love again
Falling in love
Forever
So great, baby
So love me
As though there was no tomorrow
There is no tomorrow
See you later
I love you
I love you, baby
(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)
You think you're so way out
And you got all the action
Still you can't find no satisfaction
Baby - try me, and I'll make you see
You ain't livin' until you're lovin', baby
You ain't livin' until you're lovin', baby
Ooh, until you fall you ain't livin' at all
Ah ah, at all
You like to kiss and run
And that's where it is
'Cause somebody told you
love was heartaches and tears
baby, although you're free
I'll make you see
You ain't livin' until you're lovin', baby
You ain't livin' until you're lovin', baby
Oh, until you fall you ain't livin' at all
You ain't livin' at all
To be in love, I know it's not your ambition
but before you go, think about my proposition
you may conquer the world and be king on a throne
but you still ain't nobody, baby
when you're sittin' all alone
You ain't livin' until you're lovin', baby
You ain't livin' until you're lovin', baby
Ooh, until you fall you ain't livin' at all
(repeat)
Those fingers in my hair
That sly come hither stare
That strips my conscience bare, it's witchcraft
And I've got no defense for it
The heat is too intense for it
What good would common sense for it do?
'Cause it's witchcraft
Wicked witchcraft
And although, I know, it's strictly taboo
When you arouse the need in me
My heart says, yes, indeed in me
Proceed with what your leading me to
It's such an ancient pitch
But one I wouldn't switch
'Cause there's no nicer witch than you
When you arouse the need in me
My heart says, yes, indeed in me
Proceed with what your leading me to
It's such an ancient pitch
But one I wouldn't switch
like a breath of spring you came,and as you leave i can only sign your name.cries of anguish echo from way down, but they will never reach my lipsto make a sound .though ,it seems my world is crumbling baby you don"t owe me anything causde what you gave me is more than enough to last.Into my life you came like a breath of spring giving me a song to sing oh yeah,though Iknowits not reality,you will always be a part of me cause, what nyou gave me is more than enough to last.Though i know you are leaving, Iwont be greving cause I know time has a way of showing us the things we really need and no matter where you go I know youre find your way back home oh baby,cause what you gave me is more than enough to last.
(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)
(with Tammi Terrell)
MARVIN:
Every day there's something new
Honey, to keep me lovin' you
And with every passin' minute
Ah baby, so much joy wrapped up in it
CHORUS:
TAMMI: Heaven must have sent you from above
BOTH: Wo, heaven must have sent your precious love
And I, I've got a song to sing
Tellin' the world about the joy you bring
And you gave me a reason for livin'
And ooo, you taught me, you taught me the meaning of givin'
(chorus)
M: To find a love like ours is rare these days
'Cause you've shown me happiness, yes, in so many ways
T: I look in the mirror, and I'm glad to see
Laughter in the eyes where tears used to be
M: What you've given me I could never return
'Cause there's so much, girl, I have yet to learn
T: And I wanna show, I wanna show my appreciation
'Cause when I found you, I found a new inspiration
(repeat chorus and fade)
(with Kim Weston)
BOTH:
Wo oh wo oh, wo oh wo oh
HER:
What good would a rose be if the raindrops didn't fall?
What good is a telephone if there's no one to call?
What good is a wedding if no one says "I do"?
Tell me, baby what good am I without you?
BOTH:
Wo oh wo oh, wo oh wo oh
HIM:
What good is a flier if he don't have a plane?
What good is a doctor if he can't cure the pain?
Tell me, what good is a sweetheart who proves to be untrue?
What good, baby, am I without you?
HIM: I'm no good without you, and there's one thing I know
HER: I just got to have you, darling, 'cause I love you so
HIM: What good is living without the one you love?
HER: And what good is the heavens without the stars above?
HIM: What good is a true heart that proves to be broken in two?
BOTH (repeat and fade): What good, baby, am I without you?
So let me tell you 'bout
Last Saturday night
The club was rocking
Super freaks hanging out
Wall to wall
They tell me something's going on in the men's room
Soon as we come out we'll be high soon
Did you save a line for the ladies
We're not into that are you crazy
Who's the super freak in the red dress
When she starts to shake it, I can't take it
Get in the groove and boogie to the beat baby
Get in the groove and boogie to the beat baby
Shake it baby, shake it pretty
We got the party, we got the sounds
We're off in the streets and all the freaks are getting down
Get in the groove baby, and boogie to the beat
Shake, shake your thing
You freaky thing, the way you move you drive me crazy
You freaky thing, you freaky thing
You make me rock
You make me rock
You turn me on
The way you dance
The way you dance
Midnight lady, sexy dancer
Hot and hardy, love to party
We're jammin' to love
Major love minor love
Jammin' to a great crescendo
Let's party baby, shake it, shake it
Party night to remember
Oh, everybody's having fun
Come on and party turn the green light on
When I saw you
I had to stop
I had to stop in the middle of a bop
I had to stop
I got the rhythm
I got the rhythm
Love is everywhere for the making
Freaks is everywhere for the taking
Blues is in the air if you sing it
Happiness come back if you bring it
I'm having me a good time
Midnight lady, midnight lady
Rockin' and finger poppin'
Somebody said you was a super freak
I'm here to tell you I'm a super freak baby
Get in the groove
Get in the groove
Get in the groove
We got to rock, we got the rhythm
We got to come on down to the boogie
Feeling good (ad lib)
Check that classy rhythm
Give me that sexy beat
I dig that feeling jam
Midnight lady, sexy
You are the one I'm looking for
I never, never, never knew before
Oh, baby, you're looking too good
(Marvin Gaye/Kenneth Stover)
Talkin', talkin' to the people
Tryin' to get them to go your way
Tellin' lies, not to worry
That we won't be led astray
So blind, unsignified
Your opponents always lying
Think about the mistakes you make
I believe America's at stake
You know, busin', busin' is the issue
If you have a plan wager
If you have a plan
If you've got a master plan
Got to vote for you
Hey hey, got to vote for you
You're the man
We don't wanna hear no more lies
About how you planned a compromise
We want our dollar value increased
Employment to rise
The nation's taxation
Is causin' all, all this inflation
Don't give us no V sign
Turn around and rob the people blind
Economics is the issue
Do you have a plan wager?
'Cause if you've got a master plan
Got to vote for you
You're the man
(8 times, over scat singing):
Don't you understand?
There's misery in the land
(One version fades out during this; read further for a longer version)
People marching on Washington
Better hear what they have to say
'Cause the tables just might turn against you, brother
Set around Election Day
Politics and hypocrites
Is turning us all into lunatics
Can you take the guns from our sons?
Right all the wrongs this administration has done?
Peace and freedom is the issue
Do you have a plan wager?
If you've got a plan
If you've got a master plan
Got to vote for you
Hey hey, got to vote for you
'Cause you're the man
(repeat and fade):
Got to vote for you
You're all I need to
Get by
Marvin: Like the sweet
Morning dew I took one
Look at you and it was
Plain to see you were
My destiny
Tammi: 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
Marvin: And when I lose
My will you'll be there
To push me up the hill
Both: There's no (2x)
Looking back for us we
Got love sure nough
That's enough you're all
2x) I need to get by
Both: You're all I need
To get by
Marvin: 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
Tammi: 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
Tammi: Just to do what's
Good for you and inspire
You a little higher
Marvin: I know you can
Make a man out of a soul
That didn't have a goal
Both: Cause we (2x)got
The right foundation and
With love and determination
You're all (2x) I want to
Strive for and do a little
More you're all (2x) the
Joys under the sun wrapped
Up into one you're all (2x)
Woo ah, mercy mercy me
Ah, things ain't what they used to be, no no
Where did all the blue skies go?
Poison is the wind that blows
From the north and south and east
Woo, mercy, mercy me, mercy
Ah, things ain't what they used to be, no no
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas
Fish full of mercury
Ah, oh mercy, mercy me
Ah, things ain't what they used to be, no no
Radiation underground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying
Oh mercy, mercy me
Ah things ain't what they used to be
What about this overcrowded land
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
Oh, na na
My sweet Lord, no, no, no, na na
Dreams of you my darling still
Are so fine, so fine, baby
Since I woke up
So is my state of mind
Since we've been apart
Oh I miss you, miss you with all my heart
Oh baby, what else can I say
Put on three albums
And let's fly baby
I've got to know
How much I love you so
I'm gonna make you feel
That my love is stronger for you tonight
Baby, I'm gonna make it right
Put three albums on baby
We're gonna make it long, long, long
Now when the music starts
I'm gonna groove you slow and quiet
And when the first side's through
I'll still be into you
I'm getting sober
Let's get high and turn the record over
'Cos baby it's time for phase two, yeah
That's how it is, yeah
That's how it goes, hey
Just why it is, yeah
Nobody knows
'Cos music's been my therapy
Taking the pain from all my anatomy
Oh and my anatomy
It's my symphony, always stay with me
You know that the world ain't right
Baby, lots of people stay uptight
I'll go crazy
If something ever happened to my musical thrill
And darling your love is just like my music
The second jam, girl is falling down
We've been one hour, still I got the power
Turn up the sounds
Sounds drown out the screams
Come rock with me
Straight into Side B
The time has passed
An hour and a half
I love you baby
I'm strong enough to last
You, you and your music
Are more precious than gold baby
Two albums later baby
And I'm feeling great
You said wait, let's take a break
Before you play the last side
Are you fit enough to ride
I said yes, baby
Just let me catch my breath, honey, honey, honey
Oh baby, I'm not through yet
This is one night honey, that you won't forget
I love you darling, I'm gonna prove it tonight
Put on some music
(Berry Gordy)
Now you're moving on up, pretty baby
You're leaving me behind
Everybody seems to love you
Oh, you're doing just fine, fine, fine
But take away your good looks
And all your fancy clothes
Why don't you just
Try it baby
Try it baby
Try it baby
Try it baby
You'll see
Nobody loves you but me
Now you tell me that you so busy, pretty baby
You ain't got much time
Oh, how will I remember
When all your time was mine, mine, mine
Well move on back cross the track, baby
Where you came from
Why don't you just
Try it baby
Try it baby
Try it baby
Try it baby
You'll see
That nobody loves you but me
Nobody loves you but me
I really want to hold you, pretty baby
In my arms again
But I can't get close to you
For all your loving friend, friend, friend
But take your name from the bright lights baby
And tell me that you are all through
Come on and
Try it honey
Try it baby
Try it sweetheart
Try it honey
You'll see, nobody loves you but me

I ain't got time
To think about money
Or what it can buy
And I ain't got time
To sit down and wonder
What makes the birdies fly
And I don't have the tima
To think about what makes the flowers grow
And I never give it a second thought
To where the rivers flow
Too busy thinking about my baby
And I ain't got time to nothing else
Too busy thinking about my baby
And I ain't got time to nothing else
I ain't got time to discuss the weather
Or how it's gonna last
And I ain't got time to do no studying
Once I get out of class
And I'm just a fellow
I got a one track mind
And when it comes to
Thinking about anything about my baby
I just don't have the time
Too busy thinking about my baby
And I ain't got time to nothing else
Too busy thinking about my baby
And I ain't got time to nothing else
All the diamonds and pearls in the world
Could never match her worth
She's some kind of wonderful
People tell you
I've got heaven right here on earth
And I'm just a fellow
With a one track mind
And when it comes to thinking about
Anything but my baby
I just don't have the time
Too busy thinking about my baby
And I ain't got time to nothing else
Too busy thinking about my baby
And I ain't got time to nothing else
Jamaica special love
Special love
Sitting down see the flower
On the window tops
And the mountain
See the rain
And the warm lit sun
On the beaches and sand
Comes a man with a plan to renew the world
Up in rasta land
Hungry boys and girls
He lived up to his part
And he died with a cause in his heart
Jamaica special love
Special love
Listen
Oh, Jamiaca Lady
Oh, Jamaica Girl
Oh, Jamaica Lady
Oh, Jamiaca Girl
Oh, Jamaica Lady
Oh, Jamaica Girl
Oh, oh, baby
You be my first, my second, my third world girl
Peas and rice
They are awful nice
(Norman Whitfield/Barrett Strong/Roger Penzabene)
Oh, it's over, it's all over
Said it's over, it's all over, baby
I gotta get away from you as fast as I can
You're too much for me, woman
More than my heart can stand
Like a kid behind the wheel
You've been reckless with my heart
If I stayed around
You'd surely tear it all apart
The road has got to end somewhere
Woman, woman, every road has got to end somewhere
Now is the time for the showdown
So let me give you the lowdown
We've come to the end of our road
Woman, I'm just thinkin' 'bout all the times you promised to call
and I sat at home lonely
You only did it 'cause you knew my love was only
Runnin', runnin' around with every guy in town
I'm tellin' you, woman, no longer will I be your clown
The road has got to end somewhere
Every road has got to end somewhere
I'm tired of your stuff
Say enough is enough
We've come to the end of our road
I can't take it no more
Woman, there's no sense in you beggin' and pleadin'
To hold on when I'm the one you're leavin'
Say I've 'bout had my fill of you (had my fill of you)
Flirtin's all through the years
And I've almost run out of tears
I'm tellin' you, I couldn't cry if I wanted to
The road has got to end somewhere
Every road has got to end somewhere
Time and again I've begged you to slow down
So I'm givin' you the lowdown
We've come to the end of our road, road, road
(repeat and fade):
(Oh, this is the end, the end of our road)
Somewhere there's music
How faint the tune
Somewhere there's heaven
How high the moon
There is no moon above
When love is far away too
Till it comes true
That you love me as I love you
Somewhere there's heaven
It's where you are
Somewhere there's music
How near, how far
The darkest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will, how still my heart
How high the moon
Somewhere there's music
How faint the tune
Somewhere there's heaven
How high the moon
The darkest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will, how still my heart
