Loving you came easily
Yet it made me blind to all there was to see
Now my heart is filled with pain
You understand I never will
How did it come to be that you don't love me still?
Now it's getting to be plain
If you really cared about anyone else
I know you wouldn't hurt me
If you cared about more than yourself
I bet ya wouldn't go
If you really cared about anyone else
I know you wouldn't hurt me
If you cared about more than yourself
You wouldn't walk out the door
Though some days the blues was our parade,
Still we marched through all the tears we made
Now I find that it wasn't no game of charades that you played
I did my best to bring you joy
How can you just leave me like a broken toy?
Where's the man that once was you?
If I could be within your mind
I would never think to treat you this unkind
I hope tomorrow will bring better you, better me
I know that we'll show this world we got more we could me
So you should never give up on your hopes and your dreams
You gotta get up, get out, get into it, get it on to se strong
If we try, we can fly to a whole 'nother place
All we need is belief and a smile on our face
We can go anywhere we want, any road we decide to Take
And we're never, never, never to far from tomorrow today
[Chorus:]
If tomorrow is light in a place where there's none
Then know that now is the time to have faith in us
Ya know we're all in this world and we all can] belong
We gotta get up, get out, get over it, get it on to be strong
If we try, we can fly to a place in the sun
All we need is precious dreams and a friend we can trust
We can go (any) where we want, any road tahat we can take
And we're never too far from tomorrow today
[Chorus:]
Ev'rybody say tomorrow is just for to share
And we're gonna send our message of love out ev'rywhere
There's a promise of love tomorrow has
Something special and it's something we know will last and last
Cause we're never far away, never
Ond thing I can always se sure of
Far away, no never the promise of today
If we try, we can fly to a place in the sun
All we need is precious dreams and a friend we can trust
We can go where we want, any road we can take
And we're never too far from tomorrow today
Ev'ry body say tomorrow is just for us to share
And we're gonna send our message of love out ev'rywhere
There's a promiise of love tomorrow has
Something special and it's something we know will last and last
Ev'ry body say tomorrow is just for us to share
And we're gonna send a menssage of love out ev'rywhere
There's promise of love tomorrow has
Something special special and it's something we know will last and last
Cause we're never far away, never
One thing I can always be sure of
Walked in the joint
They were lined up back to back
Anything you can name, no shame
Uh, uh, an' stuff like that
Do it, do it, do it, do it
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
Before my eyes was the promise of paradise
Is she real, can she feel, is she a dream
If you know what I mean
'Cause she was built out of stuff like that
Do it, do it
Stuff like that
Do it, do it
Stuff like that
Do it, do it
Stuff like that
I knew I was captured
By the rhythm of the magic flute
Pulling and urging me
To taste the forbidden fruit
And though I felt naive
I did not want to leave, fever was in the air
And all of us sudden and I didn't care
And no reason why, I just had to testify
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it
I knew I was captured
By the rhythm of the magic flute
Pulling and urging me
To taste the forbidden fruit
And though I felt naive
I did want to play, fever was in the air
And all of us sudden and I didn't care
And no reason why, I just had to testify
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
Do it, do it
Stuff like that
Do it, do it
Stuff like that
Do it, do it
Stuff like that
Do it, do it
Stuff like that
Stuff like that, stuff like that
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
I can't tell you, what I saw
Made you one was it against the law
It was not how you could you go
Thought exactly how low
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
All of a sudden, I didn't care
And no reason why, had to testify
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
Do it, do it
Stuff like that
Do it, do it
Stuff like that
Do it, do it
Stuff like that
Do it, do it
Stuff like that
Stuff like that, stuff like that
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
What makes you feel like doin' stuff like that?
Do it, do it
Stuff like that
Do it, do it
Stuff like that
Do it, do it
Stuff like that
Do it, do it
Stuff like that
[Hook:]
Rain or shine sleet or snow
You're the reason why I ain't gon' go
Cause I'm playing mine high and low
Ain't afraid to let the whole world know
Hello, my love I heard a kiss from you
Red magic satin playing near too (near too)
All through the morning rain I gaze
The sun doesn't shine (doesn't shine)
Rainbows and waterfalls run through my mind (run through my mind)
In the garden I see west purple showers, bells and tea
Orange birds and river cousins dressed in green
(Cousin dress in green)
Pretty music I hear so happy and loud (happy and loud)
Blue flower echo from a cherry cloud, baby
[Chorus:]
A present from you
Strawberry letter twenty two (22)
A present from you
Strawberry letter twenty two (22)
Rain or shine sleet or snow
You're the reason why I ain't gon' go
Cause I'm playing mine high and low
Ain't afraid to let the whole world know
Feel sunshine sparkle pink and blue (hey yeah)
Playgrounds will laugh if you try to ask
(You try to ask)
Is it cool? is it cool?
If you arrive and don't see me (Yeah)
I'm going to be with my baby (my baby)
I am free, I am free
Flying in her arms (her arm)
Over the sea (Over the sea)
Stained window, yellow candy screen (Candy screen)
See speaker of kite velvet roses diggin' freedom flight
(Oh freedom flight)
Diggin' freedom flight (freedom flight)
A present from you
Strawberry letter twenty two (22)
A present from you
Strawberry letter twenty two (22)
Rain or shine sleet or snow
You're the reason why I ain't gon' go
Cause I'm playing mine high and low
Ain't afraid to let the whole world know

Young lonesome soldier, sleeping in the rain
Far from home
Half a child, half a hero
Tossed by the times, caught in the winds
Dream, lonesome soldier, weary of the rain
Dream of home
Someone's son, someone's lover
Dream that you're someday child
Who never knows the rain
Half a child, half a hero
Tossed by the times, caught in the winds
Someone's son, someone's lover
Dream that you're someday child
Who never knows the rain
Well, the first time I saw you
was the first time I lost you
And the first time I kissed you
Was the first time I missed you
There were times when tried
To get by with some love too
But the things that we went through
Were so cold, don't let me remind you
It takes one to be alone
And it takes two carry on
Tell me what you want to say
When you take my love
And just walk away
Is it love that we're missing?
Peace of mind we're no getting
Are the games that we're playing?
Simply our way of entertaining
Since the start you don't seem to
Realize what I've been through
Since the start I have tried to
Make you see that I need you
It takes one to be alone
And it takes two carry on
Tell me what you want to say
When you take my love
And just walk away
There we're times when you trip to
but it's but forgot to
Leave behind all the past fun
Sometimes I find it hard to comfort
Is this why we're not one?
Is it love that we're missing?
Peace of mind we're no getting
Tell me is it love that not one?
Yeah, is it love that we're missing?
Peace of mind we're not getting
Tell me is it love that we're missing
I tried so hard to make it work
But it seems to me only got hurt
Is it love that we're missing?
(Tell me, baby, T wanna know)
Peace of mind we're not getting
(tell me, is it love...)
Is it love that we're missing?
(I've tried so hard to it work....)
Is it love that wer're missing?
(Leave behind all the past fun
In the heat of the night
In the heat of the night
I've got trouble wall to wall
Oh yes I have
An' I repeat, oh, I repeat in the night
Must be an ending to us all
Oh Lord, it won't be long
Yes, just you be strong
And it'll be all right
Ooh Lord
Hikky-burr
Hikky-burr burr

Get the funk out ma face

You don't like my music
You don't have to use it
Funkin' is a thing that all of us release
You don't have to get it
All you do is let it
Then you'll know exactly how to groove
You don't like my music
You don't have to use it
Funkin' is a thing that all of us release
You don't have to play it
You don't have to say it
You don't even have to try to sing it
Get the funk out ma face
Get the funk out ma face
Get the funk out ma face
Get the funk out ma face
You don't like my music
You don't have to use it
Funkin' is a thing that all of us release
You don't have to get it
All you do is let it
Everything must change
Nothing stays the same
Everything must change
No one stays the same
The young become the old
And mysteries do unfold
Cause that's the way of time
Nothing and no one goes unchanged
There are not many things in life
You can be sure of
Except rain come from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
And hummingbirds do fly
Winter turns to spring
A wounded heart will heal
But never much too soon
Yes everything must change
The young become the old
And mysteries do unfold
Cause that the way of time
Nothing and know one goes unchanged
There are not many things in life
You can be sure of
Except rain come from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
(4X)
Rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
And hummingbirds do fly
I'm in Dreamsville, holding you
A dreamy view, just we two alone
If love in Dreamsville, time is new
We're here to love and we do
We can see the rest of the world
Below us from our pink cloud
There's no boundary to this magic land
As we go exploring hand in hand
In dreamy Dreamsville
Far away and here we love
Here we stay
There's no boundary to this magic land
As we go exploring hand in hand
In dreamy Dreamsville
Far away and here we love
Here we stay
Loving you came easily
Yet it made me blind to all there was to see
Now my heart is filled with pain
You understand I never will
How did it come to be that you don't love me still?
Now it's getting to be plain
*If you really cared about anyone else
I know you wouldn't hurt me
If you cared about more than yourself
I bet ya wouldn't go
If you really cared about anyone else
I know you wouldn't hurt me
If you cared about more than yourself
You wouldn't walk out the door
Though some days the blues was our parade,
Still we marched through all the tears we made
Now I find that it wasn't no game of charades that you played
I did my best to bring you joy
How can you just leave me like a broken toy?
Where's the man that once was you?
If I could be within your mind
I would never think to treat you this unkind
The pain you caused will come to you
(repeat to Fade)
I did my best
But I guess my best wasn't good enough
`Cause here we are back where we were before.
Seems nothing ever changes--
We're back to being strangers
Wondering if we ought to stay or head on out the door.
Just once, can we figure out
What we keep doing wrong,
Why we never last for very wrong,
What are we doing wrong?
Just once, can't we find a way to finally make it right,
To make the magic last for more than just one night.
If we could just get to it,
I know we could break through it.
I gave my all
But I think my all may have been too much
`Cause Lord knows , we're not getting anywhere.
Seems we're always blowing
Whatever we've got going'
And it seems at times with all we've got
We haven't got a prayer.
Just once, can we figure out
What we keep doing wrong,
Why the good times never last for long,
Where are we going wrong?
Just once, can't we find a way to finally make it right,
To make the magic last for more than just one night.
I know we could break through it.
If we could just get to it, just once
I want to understand
Why it always comes back to goodbye.
Why can't we get ourselves in hand
And admit to one another
We're no good without each other?
Take the best and make it better,
Find a way to stay together.
Just once, can't we find a way to finally make it right,
To make the magic last for more than just one night.
I know we could break through it.
If we could just get to it, just once
We could get to it, just once
Back
Back on the block
Back
Back on the block
Back, on the block, so we can rock
With the soul, rhythm, blues, be bop and hip hop
Back on the block
Back on the block
Ice-T, let me kick my credentials
A young player, bred in South Central
L.A., home of the body bag
You wanna die, wear the wrong color rag
I used to walk in stores and yell, "Lay down"
You flinch an inch AK spray down
But I was lucky 'cause I never caught the hard time
I was blessed with the skill to bust a dope rhyme
All my homies died or caught the penzo
Lost their diamonds, cops towed their Benzos
Livin' that life that we thought was it
Fast lanin', but the car flipped
I'm not gonna lie to ya, 'cause I don't lie
I just kick thick game, some people say why?
'Cause I'm back on the block, I got my life back
So I school the fools about the fast track
I get static from the style of my technique
Profanity, the blatant way in which I speak
But the Dude knows the streets ain't no kiddie game
You don't know the Dude? Quincy's his first name
He told me, Ice, keep doin' what you're doin', man
Don't give a damn if the squares don't understand
You let 'em tell you what to say and what to write
Your whole career'll be over by tomorrow night
Rap from your heart, and your heart's with the street
Rap on my record, man, Kimiko, send Ice the beat
The Dude is def no doubt, what can I say?
The man can roll with Ice-T or Michael J
Back
Back on the block
Back
Back on the block
Back, on the block, so we can rock
With the soul, rhythm, blues, be bop and hip hop
Back on the block
Back on the block
I'm back, on the block, on the screen
I'm on the wax, I'm on the stage, I'm on the scene
I'm on the case, just like an attorney
The Dude took me on a magic journey
To dance in France, alone in Rome
On the farmlands of Nebraska, the cold of Alaska
The heat of the motherland to be with my brother man
On top of a snowcapped mountain I'm scoutin'
What another man saw in a race of people
To see him give his life for the price of equal
The highest wisdoms, the richest kingdoms
The song of songs we heard David sing them
He showed me me when I was young and hung out
He showed me makin' love, even showed me strung out
He showed me poppin' nines, standin' on a rock
But tears came to my eyes when he showed me my block
Ba-ba-back on the
Ba-back on
Ba-ba-back on the block
Ba-ba-back on
Ba-ba-back on the block
Stokie's just Stokie, mama
(Stokie's Stokie)
And one by one each woman he kiss
(He kiss her and she gon' fall in love)
Stokie's just Stokie, you know?
(Stokie's Stokie)
Till someone shows that they care enough
(Ain't nothin' gonna bother Stokie much)
Some say they can't take it no more
(Comin' here, comin' here startin' stuff)
But Dude is back on duty fo' sho'
(Back on the block to stay)
They say he ain't gonna be with it
(Comin' back, comin' back to the street)
But Dude he know you'll never forget it
(Back on the block to stay)
Back up and give the brother room
To let poetry bloom to whom it may concern or consume
As I reminisce before this the bliss that exist
But now we brought about a twist
'Cause I remember of my people bleedin'
Put through slavery and killed for bravery
We shoulda got our freedom much sooner
You never seen a Blackman on the honeymooners
But now somehow we've learned to earn, to grow, to show
The elevation of a people built is so
Jesse Jackson, Miss America a black one
No more livin' for just a small fraction
I was once told by the Dude that knowledge is a food
To nourish, so to conclude
This from an Asiatic descendant, Big Daddy is shocked
Yo Q, we back on the block
Back
Back on the block
Back
Back on the block
Back, on the block, so we can rock
With the soul, rhythm, blues, be bop and hip hop
Back on the block
Back on the block
An everlasting omnipresence is my present
State of being, seeing the unpleasant
Sight of righteous souls live like peasants
The mind stunts growth in adolescence
My insight enables me to enlight
The weakest of minds, and I put 'em in flight
As I transcend, a-scend or de-scend
Re-create, re-incarnate and re-send
The powerful spirits of our ancestors
For those that don't know how God blessed us
Because man messed up, the media dressed up
Lies perpetrated as truth, and it left us
Confused, but I've seen it all before
From Babylon to the Third World War
I'm more than a man, I'm more like an entity
Back on the block, and this time my identity is the Dude
Ba-ba-back on the

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

Sister,
you've been on my mind
Sister, we're two of a kind
So sister,
I'm keepin' my eyes on you
I betcha think
I don't know nothin'
But singin' the blues
Oh sister, have I got news for you
I'm somethin'
I hope you think
that you're somethin' too
Oh, Scufflin',
I been up that lonesome road
And I seen a lot of suns goin' down
Oh, but trust me
No low life's gonna run me around
So let me tell you somethin' sister
Remember your name
No twister,
gonna steal your stuff away
My sister
Sho' ain't got a whole lot of time
So shake your shimmy,
Sister
'Cause honey this 'shug
Compliment what she does
Send her roses just because
If it's violins she loves
Let them play
Dedicate her favorite song
And hold her closer all night long
Lover her today
Find one hundred ways
Don't forget there could be
An old lover in her memory
If you need her so much more
Why don't you say
Maybe she has it in her mind
That she's just wasting her time
Ask her to stay
Find one hundred ways
Bein' cool won't help you keep a love warm
You'll just blow your chance
Take the time to open up your heart
That's the secret of romance
Sacrifice if you care
Buy her some moonlight to wear
If there's one more star she wants
Go all the way
In your arms tonight
She'll reflect that she owes you
The sweetest of debts if she wants to pay
Find one hundred ways
In your arms tonight
She'll reflect that she owes you
The sweetest of debts if she wants to pay
Find one hundred ways
Ya gotta believe it, whoa, love her today
Find one hundred ways
I'm telling you to love her today
Find one hundred ways
Oh, love her, love her, love her
One hundred ways
Yeah, yeah, you've got to love her today
Don't believe those clouds in the sky
'Cause they'll be moving on and the sun will shine
If the world's been passin' you by,
Just reach out for a star and you'll realize
Got to put back all the good times that we had
We can make it better with a little bit of razzamatazz
If you feel your life's in a rut
Just come on out tonight and we'll pull you up
Ain't no use in draggin' your feet
'Cause something's in the air that just can't be beat
Got to put back all the good times that we had
We can make it better with a little bit of razzamatazz
Bring out the rides with all those white walled tires
Let's go out cruisin' like we used to do
Get suited down let's set the town on fire
Jump out your seat and let the music pull you through
We can make it better with a little bit of razzamatazz
(Music interlude)
Got to put back all the good times that we had
We can make it better with a little bit of razzamatazz
Bring out the rides with all those white walled tires
Let's go out cruisin' like we used to do
Get suited down let's set the town on fire
Jump out your seat and let the music pull you through
You can lay your soul on the line
'Cause we can make it work
If we do it right
Got to spread the message around
The people of the world should be getting down
Got to put back all the good times that we had
We can make it better with a little bit of razzamatazz
We can make it better with a little bit of razzamatazz
We can make it better with a little bit of razzamatazz
We can make it better with a little bit of razzamatazz
I did my best but I guess my best wasn't good enough
'Cause here we are back where we were before
Seems nothing ever changes we're back to being strangers
Wondering if we oughta stay or head on out the door
Just once can't we figure out what we keep doing wrong?
Why we never last for very long? What are we doing wrong?
Just once can't we find a way to finally make it right?
To make the magic last for more than just one night
If we could just get to it, I know we could break through it
I gave my all but I think my all may have been too much
'Cause Lord knows we're not getting anywhere
Seems we're always blowing whatever we've got going
And it seems at times with all we've got, we haven't got a prayer
Just once can't we figure out what we keep doing wrong?
Why the good times never last for long? Where are we going wrong?
Just once can't we find a way to finally make it right?
To make the magic last for more than just one night
I know we could break through it, if we could just get to it just once
I want to understand
Why it always comes back to good-bye?
Why can't we get ourselves in hand?
And admit to one another we're no good without the other
Take the best and make it better find a way to stay together
Just once can't we find a way to finally make it right?
Oh make the magic last for more than just one night
I know we could break through it if we could just get to it
Just once
Oh we can get to it
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
You would cry too if it's happened to you
Nobody knows where my johnny has gone
But judy left the same time
Why was he holding her hand
When he's supposed to be mine
Play all my records keep dancing all night
But leave me alone for a while
'Till johnny's dancing with me
I've got no reason to smile
Judy and johnny just walked through that door
Like a queen with her king
Oh what a birthday surprise
(naku penda piya-naku taka
Piya-mpenziwe)
(I love you too-i want you
Too-my love)
Liberian girl . . .
You came and you changed
My world
A love so brand new
Liberian girl . . .
You came and you changed
Me girl
A feeling so true
Liberian girl
You know that you came
And you changed my world,

If you think I have got what you need
It was raining when I met you. You were soaking wet,
No time to be impressed, and I remember so much later
On, I knew that you were someone I would not forget.
Everybody's searching, hungry for the glamour, you
Know too many hearts are in a rush. No matter how you
Try to, you can't explain the places you find love.
I can't explain it, but I can feel it all around me.
The need to find the place where the feeling can be
Safe. It's not money that buys happiness. No, it's not
The shine of silver that puts the heart to rest.
Everybody's pushing, the clock is always running, and
One ever seems to have enough. And when you least
expect
Tt, you come upon the places you find love. Love, love,
remember...
Chorus
In a flash, the feeling can hit you after all the times
That it's missed you, reaching deep inside to find your
Secret heart, yeah yeah. Look around, you'll notice
You're flying, and for once, you're not even trying,
city
Lights below you like a million tiny stars, oh yeah.
It's a river never stopping, winding in and out, but
Should never doubt. It will lead you to the ocean
someday.
There's no way to fight it, let it carry you away.
Everybody's dreaming, waiting for the feeling, that
moment
When they finally rise above. But it's always in the
giving
That gets you to the place you find love. Love,
remember...
Chorus 2
In the poorest part of town, where the sun never
reaches the
Ground, and seeing's not believing, the feeling stays
alive,
Yeah yeah. Little children laughing and playing 'cause
they
Haven't learned to start hating. Never give up, no
'cause
They still believe in love, sweet love.
Love. Love. Love. Love. Love, remember...
Chorus
In a flash, the feeling can hit you after all the times
That it's missed you, reaching deep inside to find your
Secret heart, yeah yeah. Look around, you'll notice
You're flying, and for once, you're not even trying,
city
Lights below you like a million tiny stars, oh yeah.
Chorus 2
In the poorest part of town, where the sun never
reaches the
Ground, and seeing's not believing, the feeling stays
alive,
Yeah yeah. Little children laughing and playing 'cause
they
Haven't learned to start hating. Never give up, no
'cause
They still believe in love, sweet love.
Chorus
In a flash, the feeling can hit you after all the times
That it's missed you, reaching deep inside to find your
Secret heart, yeah yeah. Look around, you'll notice
You're flying, and for once, you're not even trying,
city
Lights below you like a million tiny stars, oh yeah.
Chorus 2
In the poorest part of town, where the sun never
reaches the
Ground, and seeing's not believing, the feeling stays
alive,
Yeah yeah. Little children laughing and playing 'cause
they
Haven't learned to start hating. Never give up, no
'cause
If you're foolin', only foolin'
All I ask is "Why?"
If you're playin', all I'm sayin'
Is feelings sure collide
If you're lyin', keep on lyin'
Don't tell the truth, don't you dare
You can't drop me, 'cause baby you still got me
After takin' me way up there
Way up there
If I ever lose this heaven
If I ever, ever lose this heaven
Oh, I'll never be the same
If I ever lose this heaven
If I ever, ever lose this heaven
Oh, I'll never be the same
When you're kind, extra kind
Then suddenly, oh baby get crossed
You're so moody, you get to me
And I can't turn you off
You're fascinating, much more fascinating
Than the dark side of the moon
You're so exciting, hey baby I'm re-writing
This book of love called "You"
Yes it's you
If I ever lose this heaven
If I ever, ever lose this heaven
Oh, I'll never be the same
If I ever lose this heaven
If I ever, ever lose this heaven
Oh, I'll never be the same
CHORUS
Who is it
That walks the street with all the action?
(It's the Dude)
Who is it
That always gets a hot reaction?
(That's the Dude)
VERSE 1
Don'tcha' go makin' no mojo moves
'Round the Dude
(Don't try no funny bizness.)
Don'tcha'you be coppin' no attitude
With the Dude
(Hey, hey here comes the Dude)
THE DUDE SPEAKS
Hey everybody in the neighborhood,
The beauty's on duty, better hear me good.
Sister e-flat tomato, brother b- flat balloon,
Somethin' funky's goin' down better listen to my tune.
I graduated from the college of the street,
I got a Ph..D. In how to make ends meet.
Inflation in the nation don't bother me,
'Cause I'm a scholar with the dollar
You can plainly see.
BRIDGE
He's a winner 'cause it's in his blood.
Ain't nobody who's out there like him.
Any corner in the neighborhood,
That's the place that you'll always find him.
Soft talkin' with a rap so sweet,
(He does it good)
Ladies call him the candy rapper.
(They want his love)
He's the only one that's really cool
(He's really cool)
That's the reason why he's the Dude.
CHORUS
Who is it
That ain't got time for foolish talkin''?
(it's the Dude)
Who is it
That looks so clean you can't ignore him?
(That's the dude)
VERSE 2
Don'tcha go mess with
His walkin' stick--not the dude
(Don't try no funny bizness)
Don't you double-cross him
He's super slick--he's the dude
(Hey, hey here come the dude)
THE DUDE SPEAKS AGAIN
I'm a stone cold taker,
I'm a piggy bank shaker,
An' I don't waste my time talkin' trash.
So if you go to my school,
You gotta learn this rule--
Don't let your mouth write a check
That your body can't cash
If you never had it,
Don't pay it no mind.
I know you're gonna get it,
If you take a little time.
Take a piece from the east,
A piece from the west
Put it where it feels good--
Let the Dude do the rest
CHANT
See him steppin' down the street
No forgettin', he's the Dude.
See him steppin' down the street
Don't forget it he's the Dude
REPEAT VERSE 1

Just can't live my life without you
Baby come here, don't have no fear
Oh, is there wonder why
I'm really feeling in the mood for love
So tell me why, stop to think about this weather, my dear
This little dream might fade away
There I go talking out of my head again so baby won't you
Come and put our two hearts together
That would make me strong and brave
Oh, when we are one, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
If there's a cloud up above us
Go on and let in rain
I'm sure our love together would endure a hurricane
Oh my baby
Won't you please let me love you and get a release from this awful misery
What is all this talk about loving me, my sweet
I am not afraid, not anymore, not like before
Don't you understand me, oh baby please
Pull yourself together, got to do it very soon
My heart's on fire, come on and take
I'll be what you make me, my darling
Oh, pretty baby, you make me feel so good
Let me take you by the hand
Come let us visit out there
In that new promised land
Maybe there we can find
A good place to keep a lovin' state of mind
I'm so crazy mama
Never knew what love was all about
I want to know, baby
Just how you feel, girl

For the things that I say, what I talk about
But oh, I wanna love ya girl

Heaven's girl is what you are to me
I can see your eyes staring into darkness
Tryin' to find the light, girl
And you're all alone
The man that's gone and breakin' up your happy home
Don't you worry, pretty baby
You take a chance
Hopin' that you'll find your lucky star
Do you know who you are?
Oh - heaven's girl
Oh, hold on - sugar hold on
Don't you be afraid to
Hold on - my baby
You say cast your fears
Hold me and I'll take away your painful tears
Girl
'cause I know your heart
I'll be there to mend it when it's torn apart
Yeah, my baby
Just believe in me
And I will show you things you've never seen
Do you know what I mean?
Heaven's girl
I'm asking you, asking you
I'm down on my knees, begging you please...
So you take a chance
Hopin' that you'll find your lucky star
Do you know who you are?
Don' worry baby, jus' hold on
Don' worry baby, jus' hold on
Listen, baby
When the sun comes up, I'll tell you I love you
And when the sun goes down, I'll say a prayer for you
You don't have to question heaven's love for you
Baby, reach for me, I'll hold out my hand for you
What would I give to hold you once again
What would I give to make this loneliness end
If I could bring you back
Back to where this love once lived
What would I give?
Everything
What would I do for one more precious moment with you
What would it take to make your heart hear the truth
To ease our pain I caused
Make up for the time I lost with you
What would I do?
Anything
Are you doing all right?
Have you found a life apart from me?
As it bring(s) you happiness
I don't want to know about it
'Cause night after night I try to fight the emptiness
In this quiet room
Life goes on without you
Where would I go
If only you would ask me to
No road is too long if it would lead me back to you
Somehow I found a way
If you called to say that you need me there
Where would I go?
Anywhere
Are you doing all right?
Have you found a life apart from me?
For now I must confess
That I don't want to talk about it
'Cause night after night I try to fight the emptiness
In this silent room
There's no peace without you
What would I give to hear you say you love me again
What would it take to make this loneliness end
If I could bring you back
Back to where this love once lived
What would I give?
Everything
What would I do?
Anything
What would I give? Oh...
When you're weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all
I'm on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Sail on Silver Girl,
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
Five thousand lightyears from Birdland
But I'm still preachin' the rythym
Long gone uptight years from Birdland
And I'm still teachin' it with 'em
Years from the land of the Bird
And I am still feelin' the spirit
Five thousand lightyears from Birdland
But I know people can hear it
Bird named it, Bird made it
Bird heard it, Then played it
Well stated
Birdland
It happened down in Birdland
In the middle of that hub
I remember one jazz club
Where we went to pat feet
Down on 52nd Street
Everybody heard that word
That they named it after Bird
Where the rythym swooped and swirled
The jazz corner of the world
And the cats they giged in there
Were beyond compare

No more, skoo be wah, no more
Down in Birdland, That's where it was at
I know, ah ah ah ah ah, I know
Back in them days bop was ridin' high
Hello, heh heh heh heh heh, Goodbye!
(Yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo...)
How well those cats remember their first Birdland gig
To play in Birdland is an honor we still dig
Yeah, That club was like in another world
Sure enough, Yeah baby
All those cats were cookin' on
People just sat and they were steady lookin' on
Then Bird, He came and spread the word
(Birdland)
Yes indeed he did

Yes indeed he did, Yes he did Parker played in Birdland
Yes he really did
Yes indeed he really did told the truth way down in
Birdland

Birdland
Bird named it, Bird made it
Bird heard it, Then played it
Well stated

Come in pairs, Down them stairs, Lose your cares
Him that cares gets it
Play the gate, Don't be late, It's a date
What d'ya know
Is it me, Is it you, It's a clue
Come in twos, Pay your dues, What can you lose?
Just your blues, So lose them!
Patti:
Thinkin' back in time
When love was only in my mind, I realize
Ain't no second chance
You've got to hold on to romance, don't let it slide
There's a special kind of magic in the air
When you find another heart that needs to share
Chorus
Baby, come to me, let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be and I'm oh so glad I found you
Need you every day, gotta have your love around me
Baby, always stay 'cause I can't go back to livin'
without you
James:
Spendin' every dime
To keep you talkin' on the line
That's how it was
And all those walks together out in any kind of weather
Just because
There's a brand-new way of looking at your life
When you know that they'll be standing by your side
Chorus
James:
The nights can be cold
There's a chill to every evenin' when you're all alone
Patti:
Don't talk anymore
'Cause you know that I'll be here to keep you warm
(Oh, darling keep me warm)
Chorus
Baby, come to me, let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be and I'm oh so glad I found you
Need you every day, gotta have your love around me
Baby, always stay
Patti: 'cause I can't go back to livin' without you
Chorus
Baby, come to me, let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be and I'm oh so glad I found you
Need you every day, gotta have your love around me
Baby, always stay
James: 'cause I can't go back to livin' without you
Chorus
Baby, come to me, let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be
and I'm oh so glad I found you
Need you every day, gotta have your love around me
I hold you, I touch you
In a maze can't find my way
I think you, I drink you
I'm being served you on a tray
You see girl
That's what I go through every day
Is this the way it should feel?
Pinch me, I'm dreaming
But if it is don't let me know
I'm drowning, don't save me
It's just the way I'd like to go
You see girl
You thrill me, half kill me
That's what you do...
Ai no corrida, that's where I am
You send me there
You dream is my command
Ai no corrida, I find myself
No other thought
Just you and nothing else
You and nothing else
Before my heart saw you
Each day was just another day
Night, the lonely interlude
Just came, then blew away
You know girl
Everything was come what may
Until you fell in my life
This spell I'm under
Has caught me, I'm in a daze
Your lightning and thunder
Sets my poor heart ablaze
You see girl
You thrill me, half kill me
That's what you do
Ai no corrida, that's where I am
You send me there
You dream is my command
Ai no corrida, I find myself
No other thought
Just you and nothing else
You and nothing else
Ai no corrida, that's where I am
You send me there
You dream is my command
Ai no corrida, I find myself
No other thought
Just you and nothing else
You and nothing else
Ai no corrida, that's where I am
You send me there
You dream is my command
Ai no corrida, I find myself
No other thought
Just you and nothing else
You and nothing else
I hold you, I touch you
In a maze can't find my way
I think you, I drink you
I'm being served you on a tray
You see girl
That's what I go through every day
Is this the way it should feel?
Pinch me, I'm dreaming
But if it is don't let me know
I'm drowning, don't save me
It's just the way I'd like to go
You see girl
You thrill me, half kill me
That's what you do...
Ai no corrida, that's where I am
You send me there
You dream is my command
Ai no corrida, I find myself
No other thought
Just you and nothing else
Ai no, Ai no, Corrida
Ai no, Ai no, Corrida
I hold you, I touch you
In a maze can't find my way
I think you, I drink you
I'm being served you on a tray
You see girl, that's what I go through every day
Is this the way it should feel
So pinch me, I'm dreamin'
But if it is don't let me know
I'm drowning, don't save me
This is the way I want to go
You see girl, you thrill me, half
kill me, that's what you do
Chorus:
Ai No Corrida, that's where I am
You send me there, your dream is my command
Ai No Corrida, I find myself
No other thought, just you and nothing else
You and nothing else
Before I first saw you each day
was just another day
Night the lonely interlude just
came, then blew away
You know girl, everything was
come what may until you fell
in my life
This spell that I'm under has caught me in a daze
Your lightning and thunder sets
my poor heart ablaze
You see girl, you thrill me, half
kill me that's what you do
Chorus
Ai no, Ai no, Corrida
Ai no, Ai no, Corrida
Compliment what she does
Send her roses just because
If it's violins she loves
Let them play
Dedicate her favorite song
and hold her closer
All night long
Love her today
Find one hundred ways
Don't forget there could be
An old lover in her memory
If you need her so much more
Why don't you say
Maybe she has it in her mind
That she's just wasting her time
Ask her to stay
Find one hundred ways
Bein' cool won't help
You keep a love warm
You'll just blow your chance
Take the time to open up your heart
That's the secret of romance
Sacrifice if you care
Buy her some moonlight to wear
If there's one more star she wants
Go all the way
In your arms tonight
She'll reflect
That she owes you the sweetest of debts
If she wants to pay
Find one hundred ways
In your arms tonight
She'll reflect
That she owes you the sweetest of debts
If she wants to pay
Find one hundred ways
Ya better believe it, whoa
Love her today
Find one hundred ways
I'm telling you
To love her today
Find one hundred ways
Whoa, love her, love her
Love her one hundred ways
You've got to love her today
INSTRUMENTAL
LYRIC:
When we played our charade We were like children posing
Playing at games, acting out names Guessing the parts we
played
Oh what a hit we made We came on next to closing Best on
the bill, lovers until Love left the masquerade
Fate seemed to pull the strings I turned and you were
gone While from the darkened wings The music box played
Sad little serenade
Song of my heart's composing I hear it still, I always
Uh (oh yeah)
Bring the funk
Big Heav in da house
Yeah, get down
Talk about it, huh (umm mmmh)
Check this out
Original (oh oh oh)
Keep it movin'
Baby don't stop
Love the way we doin' Hip Hop
Oh yeah, like this
Check it (oh whoah oh)
A-yo
Rock you, I got you
Tru dat, now who dat?
But you at? Brandy
I knew that
The Q joint, the new point
The funk fellas
R&B; and Rap fanatic
Smooth criminals
Ooh wee we lovable, huggable, snuggable
H to the E to the A to the V to the Y
Brandy sweet like candy, get fly
Boy, close your eyes
Let the rhythm get into you
Don't try to fight it
There ain't nothing that you can do, oh oh
Relax your mind
Lay back and groove with my mine
You gotta feel that heat
And we can ride the boogie
Share that beat of love
I wanna rock with you (all the night)
Dance you into day ('til the sunlight)
I wanna rock with you (all the night)
Rock the night away
Boy, out on the floor
There ain't nobody there but us
Boy, when you dance, when you dance
There's a magic that must be love, oh oooh
Just take it slow, uh
We got so far to go
When you feel that heat
And we're gonna ride the boogie
Share that beat of love
I wanna rock with you (all the night)
Dance you into day ('til the sunlight)
I wanna rock with you (all the night)
Rock the night away
And when the groove is dead and gone (dead and gone)
You know that love survives
And we can rock forever, oh whoa oh
Overseas trashin'
My passion for Hip Hop
I clock dollas and a rip spot
Make moves, smooth do's like Q
Attract fly honeys with exotic
??? and money
I can make it hotter
Freshman, so don't test me
You go 1, 2, 3 and B's in da house
And I'm out
I wanna rock with you (all the night)
Dance you into day ('til the sunlight)
I wanna rock with you (all the night)
Loving you
Came easily
Yet it made me blind to all there was to see
Now my heart is filled with pain
To understand
I never will
How did it come to be that you don't love me still?
Now it's getting to be plain
Chorus:
If you really cared about anyone else
I know you wouldn't hurt me
If you cared about more than yourself
I bet ya wouldn't go
If you really cared about anyone else
I know you wouldn't hurt me
If you cared about more than yourself
You wouldn't walk out the door
Bridge:
Though some days the blues was our parade,
Still we marched through all the tears we made
Now I find that it was an old game of charades that you played...
I did my best
To bring you joy
How can you just leave me like a broken toy?
Where's the man that once was you?
If I could be
Within your mind
I would never think to treat you this unkind
The pain you caused will come to you
Chorus:
Turn on the action, (Come on and give me your love)
I'm runnin' hot, baby, give me the
Love inside. (Gotta keep it hot, give it all you got)
Feed me your passion, (Come on and make it alright)
Don't waste no time,
Baby show me a dream tonight (Cotta keep me satisfied)
Don't hold it back,
Let your love flow through me
I need to feel you in my soul
Like it used to be
Won't you do it to me
Give me the moments that make me lose control
Got to put back the feeling we knew once before,
And I will make you see that it's alright
Pull down the blinds, put the lock on the door
So we can share the magic that comes from being one,
And show the world we've only just begun
Repeat Chorus
Just treat me right,
I'm a winning ticket, come on and take away the prize
It's up to you, now's the time to get it.
I'll give you somethin' to make you realize,
There's a new kind of woman that's showing her style
I hope that you can make it through the night
So put all your trust in the warmth of my smile,
And I will show you heaven,
Like no one's seen before,
Without a doubt-I'll leave you wantin' more
So take my hand, we'll drift into the night
And I will be your fantasy.
And in a while you'll see that only I can set you free
Repeat Chorus (with ad libs)
Got to put back the feeling we knew once before,
And I will make you see that it's alright.
Pull down the blinds, put the lock on the door.
So we can share the magic that comes from being one,
And show the world we've only just begun
Someone told someone and someone told you
But they wouldn't hurt you, not much
Since everyone spread the story
With his own little personal touch
Do nothin' till you hear from me
Pay no attention to what's said
Why people tear the seam of anyone's dream
Is over my head
Do nothin' till you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you should take the word of others you've heard
I haven't a chance
True I've been seen with someone new
But does that mean that I'm untrue
When we're apart the words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you
Some kiss may cloud my memory
And other arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothin' till you hear it from me
And you never will
Do nothin' till you hear from me
Do nothin' till you hear from me
Pay no attention to what's said
Why people tear the seam of anyone's dream
Is over my head
Do nothin' till you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you should take the word of others you've heard
I haven't a chance
True I've been seen with someone new
But does that mean that I'm untrue
When we're apart the words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you
Some kiss may cloud my memory
And other arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothin' till you hear it from me
We got that rhythm pumpin' up
A beat without a drummer
Tell me ain't we touch
We got, great big bottom for gettin' down
Got the only low bass baby
When there ain't no bass around
Oh, we can jam in the human bein' band

Come, let's go everybody to the acapella party

All you little birds better lock up tight
'Cause there's a foul owl on the prowl tonight.
Hey, little lark, get outta the dark.
Foul owl on the prowl.
Cute little jay, stay outta his way.
Foul owl on the prowl.
You just might be the quail he'll tail.
Foul owl on the prowl.
You just might be the swallow he'll follow.
Foul owl on the prowl.
If you hear him hoot,scoot.
If you pass his tree, flee.
If you catch his eye, fly.
Don't wait to say goodbye.
He's got a yen for a purdy little hen.
Foul owl on the prowl.
Hasn't always been a sunny day
Now and then there's been a little rain
But together we remain
Nothing to lose, everything to gain
And I can't imagine what a day would be
If there never was a you and me
Just know I'll be here always
Through the years I have come to know
Rain makes a flower grow
And if it must rain let it pour
Cause I'll be your strength and much more,
I am yours
It doesn't matter what tomorrow brings
I'm yours
If we were rich and we lost everything
I'm yours
We'll be a love for all the world to see
I'm yours
I know that you are mine
Just know that I am yours
Like the sun on the morning dew
Everyday I feel renewed
Still room in my heart to fall more in love with you
If ever there was a bond between two
Even closer than the stars and the moon
I don't ever have to say a word
My heart can talk to you
You give me pleasure and
Nothing's better than
Showing you love in return
You are the one I adore,
That's why I am yours
It doesn't matter what tomorrow brings
I'm yours
If we were rich and we lost everything
I'm yours
We'll be a love for all the world to see
I'm yours
I know that you are mine
Just know that I am yours
I'll be yours until the end of time
Then we'll start over in another life
Nothing means more to me
Forever I will be
Just believe that I'm yours
It doesn't matter what tomorrow brings
I'm yours
If we were rich and we lost everything
I'm yours
We'll be a love for all the world to see
I'm yours
I know that you are mine
BODY HEAT - QUINCY JONES
INTRO
Can you feel it
Touching you
Don't you feel it
My tempratures risin'
And it's not surprisin'
But when you're close to me girl
It's so tantalizin'
I can't help myself
I get so excited
Why do I act in this fashion?
Why can't I control my passion?
Some call it... soul fire
I call it love's desire
Come on up, I'm gonna take you higher
I'm gonna give you warmth, guaranteed to inspire
When we meet
Ain't it sweet
And when we greet
Feel that body heat
Feel that body..
Can't you feel it, can't you feel it, can't you feel it
Feel that body heat?
Feel that body heat
Body heat
Give me your hand
And I'll give you mine
Oh, fire and water
Mixed up in one sign
Touching you
Inside of you, baby
Oh, I like it
I like it a lot
Come on baby
Give it all you got
I'm gettin' warmer
But just wait til I get hot
Cause I'm a genie nonfiction
Rub me til I feel the friction
Some call it... soul fire
I call it love's desire
Come on up, I'm gonna take you higher
I'm gonna give you warmth, guaranteed to inspire
When we meet
Feel the heat
Ain't sweet
Feel that body heat
Feel that body heat
Your Fahrenheit is outta sigh
It's alright, I dig body heat
I dig body...
Your centigrade could stand some shade
But it's o.k. cause I dig body heat
I dig body heat
Can you feel it
Call you feel it
Can you feel it
This is the self-preservation society
This is the self-preservation society
Go wash your German bands, your boat race too
Comb your Barnet Fair we got a lot to do
Put on your Dickie Dirt and your Peckham Rye
Cause time's soon hurrying by
Get your skates on mate, get your skates on mate
No bib around your Gregory Peck today, eh?
Drop your plates of meat right up on the seat
This is the self-preservation society
This is the self-preservation society
Gotta get a bloomin move on
Babadab-babadabadab-bab-ba
Gotta get a bloomin move on
Babadab-babadabadab-bab-ba
Jump in the jam jar gotta get straight
Hurry up mate don't wanna be late
How's your father?
Tickety boo
Tickety boo
Gotta get a bloomin move on
Self-preservation society
This is the self-preservation society
Put on your almond rocks and daisy roots
Wash your Hampstead Heath and wear your whistle and
flute
Lots of lah-di-dahs and cockneys here
Look alive and get out of here
So get your skates on mate, get your skates on mate
No bib around your Gregory Peck today, eh?
Drop your plates of meat right up on the seat
This is the self-preservation society
