Yo Mo Bee main, drop that shit!
'Heyyyy! Heyy-ayyaahhyy' -- [Erick Sermon] (Redman's 'Watch Yo' Nugget')
[sample repeats until first verse]
You know what time, boo-yaow
I know it's time for you
So grab one by the hand youknowhatI'msayin
And uhh, throw up that finger
Ay yo yo yo throw y'all fingers up!
Thug style baby, Thug style y'know?
[Verse One:]
Tell me baby are you lonely? Don't wanna rush ya
I can help ya if ya only, let me touch ya
If I'm wrong love tell me, cause I get caught up
and the life I live is Hell see, I never thought I'd see
the day when I would calm down, you ain't heard
I've been known to clown and Get Around, that's my word
See you walkin and you lookin good, yes indeed
Got a body like a sex fiend, you're killin me
witcha attitude to match right, don't be phony
cause I hate when you act like, you don't know me
I've be stressin in the spotlight, I want the fame
but the industry's a lot like, a crap game
Ain't no time for commitment, I gotta go
Can't be wit you every minute miss, another show
And even though I'm known for my one night stand
I wanna be an honest man, but temptations go...
'Heyyyy! Heyy-ayyaahhyy' -- [Erick Sermon] (Redman's 'Watch Yo' Nugget')
[sample repeats until second verse]
Throw up the finger!
And all my homies go..
Throw them the finger!
Ya know what baby it's like
[singing]
I know you've been searchin for someone
To make you happy, and get the job done
You say you need it, a man with money
But I can't be there, and will you still care
[Verse Two:]
Will I cheat or will I be committed, heaven knows
Gettin weak and I wanna hit it, so here I go
in my ride and I'm all in, gettin high
I can hear the people callin, I'm passin by
Everybody knows I'm ball-in, and to God
Gotta keep myself from fall-in, but it's hard
All the cuties know I'm under pressure, what do I do
Gettin shaky when she pull the dress up, and say it's cool
Should I stroke or should I wait a while, you decide
If you tell me that you don't want it, that's a lie
Move close and let me whisper, some dirty words
in your ears as I kiss ya, on every curve
Slow down baby don't rush, I like it slow
Can't hold it any longer, so let it go
Open the gates, do you wanna fall up in heaven
Don't worry, I let myself in, all I heard was...
'Heyyyy! Heyy-ayyaahhyy' -- [Erick Sermon] (Redman's 'Watch Yo' Nugget')
[sample repeats until third verse]
Give em the finger!
All my homies go..
Throw your fingers up!
That's just the Thug in me girl, you know
Peep out all my homies, y'know, it's like
[singing]
I know you've been searchin for someone
To make you happy, and get the job done
You say you need it, a man with money
But I can't be there, and will you still care
[Verse Three:]
A lot of people think it's easy, to settle down
Got a woman that'll please me, in every town
I don't wanna but I gotta do it, the temptation
got me ready to release the fluid, sensation
sit down and conversate like you know me, take my hand
Cause even Thugs get lonely, understand
Even the hardest of my homies need attention
Catch you blowin up the telephone, reminiscin
I wanna take you to the movies, and the park
Let's find a spot for you to do me, in the dark
Now that it's passion, hold me tight
Don't need lights, I can see you by the moonlight
I know your man ain't lovin you right
You're lonely and depressed you need a Thug in your life
Enough talkin, you want me to leave, I'll get to walkin
See you later, cause baby I'm a player, and all I heard was
'Heyyyy! Heyy-ayyaahhyy' -- [Erick Sermon] (Redman's 'Watch Yo' Nugget')

[CHORUS:]
I know you see me watching you
and I see you watching me

[repeat 4x]
[1:]
Im chillin at the spot and my posse's four deep

the fellas lookin fly and there was one that caught my eye
so i bit my lip switched my hips as i walked by saying
sexy boy you're so fly i just might give you a try
ima write yo number in the palm of my hand
oops i forgot i got a man
[CHORUS]
[2:]
Im thinkin to myself should i even take a chance
should i do whats on my mind or should i stay down with my man
this boy got me fienin and im wantin him so bad
should i chill one night with him and risk everything I have
saying
sexy boy you so fly i wish i could give you a try
but my man's at home waiting for me by the phone
sorry cant get my groove on!
[CHORUS]
Temptation is callin
I be wantin you so bad i could cry
Relationships callin me
To do whats wrong but i gotta do right
[repeat]
[Chorus]
temptations is callin
I be wantin you so bad i could cry
Relationships callin me
To do whats wrong but i gotta do right
Driven by restrained desire
I want what I need
Shaking as her sex takes hold
I've lost all control
Temptation, temptation
Drowning in a sea of rage
I taste the embrace
Helpless as it steals my soul
I've lost all control
Temptation
(It never lets me down)
Temptation
(One foot in the ground)
We exist in a world where the fear of illusion is real
And we cling to the past to deny and confuse the ideal
Once inside, we can conceive and believe in a God we can't feel
I can't feel it, I can't feel it, I can't feel
Destined by a fate so cruel
I drugged to delight
Laughing as these lies unfold
I've lost all control
Temptation
(It never lets me down)
Temptation
(One foot in the ground)
Temptation
(You satisfy my soul)
Temptation
Drop the groove
Time after time
I tell myself that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
Time after time
You'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
So lucky to be
The one you run to see
In the evening when the day is through
I only know what I know
The passing years will show
You keep my love so young, so new
And time after time
You'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
You, you, you baby
Time after time
I tell myself that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
So lucky to be
The one you run to see
In the evening when the day is through
I only know what I know
The passing years will show
You keep my love so young, so new
And time after time
You'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
Time, oh time, time after time
Oh, how lucky am I
Time, oh time, time after time
Oh, how lucky am I
I feel so lucky to be
The one you want to see
In the evening when the day is through
I only know what I know
The passing years will show
You keep my love so young, so new
And time after time
You'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
Time, oh time, time after time
Oh, how lucky am I
Time, oh time, time after time
Oh, how lucky am I
Time, oh time, time after time

Oh, mother

The things that you tell me, yeah
I paid, I really paid it no mind
Oh please, oh please forgive me
Yes, I know I was wrong
But now, now I know, yeah
My place, my place is at home
Can't you see I've been crying now
Almost dying
I need your advice mama, yeah
Oh, mama
Oh, mama
Oh, mama
Come and tell me now
How much about love, you don't understand?
Yes, you know that you were wrong
Or when you thought that you were wrong
Yes, it was that young girl
She put you in such a whirl
Yeah, I said, "Mama, don't you worry now, yeah"
I guess I had it coming anyhow, yes I did
I'm gonna do everything you say
Hmm, each and every day
I'm gonna be a man, yes, I am
Now that I understand

Oh, mother
Come on and tell me now
Oh tell me now
Hmm, I'm sorry
Yes I am, I am really sorry
Oh, I should have think of you, yeah
Keep me down
I?ll do whatever you say
I?ll just remember that old cliché
?That?s life,? you better believe it
That's what the people say
You're riding' high in April, shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change their tune
When I'm back on top, back on top in June
(Now don?t you worry)
That's life
(That?s life)
Oh, it's funny as it seems
(Go ahead enjoy it)
Some people get their kicks steppin' on dreams
But I don't let it get me down
(Tell us why you said it)
'Cause this ol' world keeps right on going around
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet
A pawn and a king
I've been up, down and over and under
And I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life
(That?s life, you gotta believe it)
And I can't deny it, yes I thought of quitting
But you know my heart, my little heart just won't buy it
But if I didn't think it was worth a try
I'd just roll myself up in a big ball and die
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet
A pawn and a king
I've been up, down, over and under
And I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life
(That?s life)
Oh and I can't deny it, yes I thought of quitting
But I tell you my heart it just won't buy it
But if I didn't think it was worth a try
(What would you do?)
I'd just roll myself up in a great big ball and die
Keep me down
I?ll do whatever you say
(Great big ball and die)
You?ve heard my story

You put me back on the right track
Think about you constantly
And I know in your heart that you feel the same way for me, baby
Late nights with me all alone, it's total ecstasy
All I can do is think about the the times

The sun is shining
there's plenty of light
A new day is dawning
sunny and bright
But after I've been
crying all night
The sun is cold and
the new day seems old
Since I lost my baby
(since I lost my baby)
Oh since I lost my baby
(since I lost my baby)
The birds are singing
and the children are playing
There's plenty of work
and the bosses are paying
Not a sad word should our
young hearts be saying
But fun is a bore
and with money I'm poor
Since I lost my baby
(since I lost my baby)
Oh since I lost my baby
(since I lost my baby)
Next time I'll be kinder
(next time I'll be kinder)
Won't you please help me find her
(won't you please help me find her)
Someone just remind her
(someone just remind her)
Of this love she left behind her
(of this love she left behind her)
'Til I find her I'll be crying
('til I find her I'll be crying)
Everyday I'm more inclined to find her
inclined to find her
Inclined to find my baby
Been looking everywhere
baby I really really care
Oh determination is fading fast
Inspiration is a thing of the past
Can't see how my hope's gonna last
Good things are bad
and what's happy is sad
Since I lost my baby
(since I lost my baby)
Oh since I lost my baby
(oh since I lost my baby)
I feel so bad
(since I lost my baby)
I feel so sad
Silver bells, silver bells

You can take off your shoes, sit on the floor
Join in and be what you wanna be
Don't you know it's right around the corner
Oh yeah just across the track
People I'm talking about the psychedelic shack
Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at
Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at
Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at, oh yeah
They got a cat there shouting the blues
Talking about payin' some dues
People walking around reciting poetry
Screamin' guitars and a thousand colored lights
People I'm telling you this place is really out of sight
You can have your fortune told
You can learn the meaning of soul
I guarantee this place will blow your mind
Don't you know it's right around the corner
Sail on silver wings through this storm
What fortune love may bring
Back to my arms again
The love of a former golden age
I am disabled by fears
Concerning which course to take
For, now that wheels are turning
I find my faith deserting me
This night is filled with cries
Of dispossessed children in search of paradise
A sign of unresolved that envisioned
Drives the pinwheel on and on
I am disabled by fears
Concerning which course to take
When memory bears witness
To the innocence, consumed in dying rage
The way lies through our love
There can be no other means to the end
Or keys to my heart
You will never find
Why don't you come, come back, to my paradise
Baaaaby to my paradiiise
Pleeease, come back (come back) to myyy paaaradise, oh oh it would be
Sooo nice, with you back in my arms again, with you back in my arms again. And
Baby, (baby) can you tell me wheeen, you'll be back in my arms again, you can
Make me so happy,(happy) you can make me so haaappy. Heeey
Each night I dream
I cry when I go to sleep, so sorry that we broke up, but then I dream that your
In my arms, with all your charms. And IIII
Don't want to wake up,don't want to wake up
Oh no, no, no,no, I was wrong from the very start, I hope you'll have a
Change of heart, and come back to paradise,oh,oh, back to paradise
Each night I dream
I dream that your in my arms,with all your charms. And I,I,I,I
Don't want to wake up, don't want to wake up
Oh no,no,noooo. I was wrong from the veeeeryy start, I hope you'll have a
Change of heart, and come back to paradiiise. Come on, back to paradiiise
Wish that I could wind
Like a spiral spare through time
To your body next to mine
Warm and satisfied
Wish that I could catch
A night train to the past
Climb aboard and hear you ask
Darling come inside
Memories, memories
Sweet, sweet memories
Of days gone by
That make me cry
Memories, memories
Sweet memories that make me sad
They take me back to you
(Memories, memories)
Watching falling stars
On the grass by my own car
Making love there in the dark
Thinking we're alone
Old man shined his light
Trying not to act surprised
He left hard and all uptight
Told us to get on home
Memories, memories
Sweet sweet memories
Of love we shared
Of love we shared
Memories memories
Sweet memories of love we shared
We will never share them again
(Memories, memories)
Memories, memories
Wish that I could wind
Like a spiral spare through time
To your body next to mine
Warm and satisfied
Wish that I could catch
A night train to the past
Climb aboard and hear you ask
Darling come inside
Memories, memories
Sweet, sweet memories
Of days gone by
You make me cry, baby
Memories, memories
Sweet sweet memories that make me sad
They take me back to you
(Memories, memories)
To you, baby
To you, to you
You, you, you, you, you
Where I was born everything was dull and dingy
I lived in a place they called 'The Inner City'
Getting ahead was strictly a no no
'Cause nobody cares what happens
To the folks that live in the ghetto
Thousands of lives wasting away
People living from day to day
It's a challenge just staying alive
'Cause in the ghetto, only the strong survives
Broken down homes, kids strung out
They don't even know what life's all about
Stealin' cars, robbin' bars, muggings, drugs, rat infested
And no one's interested
Kids dodging cars for recreation
Only adds to a mother's frustration
Break-ins, folks comin' home
And finding all their possessions gone
Oh, it's an everyday thing, well well, in the ghetto
And I wake up in the mornin'
With my hair down on my eyes and she says, "Hi"
And I stumble to the breakfast table
While the kids are goin' off to school, goodbye
And she reaches out 'n' takes my hand
And squeezes it 'n' says, "How ya feelin', hon?"
And I look across at smilin' lips
That warm my heart and see my mornin' sun
And if that's not lovin' me then all I've got to say
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
And there's no such thing as Doctor Seuss
Or Disneyland, and Mother Goose, no nursery rhyme
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
And when myself is feelin' low
I think about her face aglow and ease my mind
Sometimes I call her up at home knowin' she's busy
And ask her if she could get away and meet me
And maybe we could grab a bite to eat
And she drops what she's doin'
And she hurries down to meet me
And I'm always late but she sits waitin' patiently
And smiles when she first sees me
'Cause she's made that way
And if that ain't lovin' me then all I've got to say
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't snow in Minneapolis when the winter comes
And there's no such thing as make-believe
Puppy dogs, autumn leaves 'n' BB guns
God didn't make little green apples
Come they told me
Pa rum pum pum pum
Our new born King to see
Pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring
Pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King
Pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
So to honor Him
Pa rum pum pum pum
When we come
Baby Gesu
Pa rum pum pum pum

Pa rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring
Pa rum pum pum pum
That's fit to give our King
Pa rum pum pum pum

Shall I play for you
Pa rum pum pum
On my drum?
Mary nodded
Pa rum pum pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time
Pa rum pum pum pum
I played my drum for Him
Pa rum pum pum
I played my best for Him
Pa rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum
Then He smiled at me
Pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
Then He smiled at me
Pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
Then He smiled at me
Pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
Some people are always Heaven made
Some people will live impermanent for the rest of their days
Time marches on
Yesterday is better than tomorrow
Life is uncertain, let me hear you say, "Yeah"
That is that, oh yes, it is
There'll be days of sunshine and laughter
But don't forget you will have to shed some tears, oh

Whether you like it or you'll understand, ah hey hey

Until you find yourself, think about it
You might not like being, well you ought, but you'd better start like it
But you sure can't be nobody else
In other words, I can't be you, ain't no quit, yeah
You can't be me, well well
That's all with you, my sister and brother
And that's the way that good life meant to be, hey ho
It's the law of the land, well
Whether you like it or you'll understand, say say
It's the law of the land, hey yeah oh

Look at here
The tools of a man's day has got him by corrupt
For your own protection your Gods you must love
What goes around, comes around
And what goes up, yeah, must come down, aha
It's the law of the land, well well well well
Whether you like it or you'll understand
It's the law of the land, well well well
'Cause made by almighty men, aha
It's the law of the land, everybody else say
Like a snow ball rolling down the side
Of a snow covered hill
It's growing like the size of the fish
That the man claims broke his reel
It's growing like the rose bud blooming
In the warmth of the summer sun
It's growing like the tale by the time
It's been told by more then one it's growing
Every day it grows a little more
Than it was the day before
My love for you just grows and grows
Oh, how it grows and grows
And where it's going to stop
I'm sure nobody knows
Hey, hey, hey
(Nobody knows)
How it grows and it grows and it grows
(Nobody knows)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Nobody knows it grows and grows)
(Where is it gonna stop)
Like the need in a guy to see his girl
When she's gone away
It's growing like the sadness in his little heart
When he knows that she's gone to stay, it's growing
Every day it grows a little more
Than it was the day before
My love for you just grows and grows
Oh, how it grows and grows
And where it's going to stop
I'm sure nobody knows
(Hey, hey, hey nobody knows)
It gets a little wider
(Nobody knows)
Oh, it gets a little stronger
(Hey, hey, hey)
The feeling from each kiss baby
(Hey, hey, hey)
Oh, it last a litter longer
(Hey, hey, hey)
So much, so much
Ooh, isn't she pretty, ah pretty, ah pretty, ah pretty, pretty
Ooh, isn't she a doll, she's a doll, now
Uh huh, she's so fine, so fine
Gee, I wish she was mine
Ooh, isn't she pretty, ah pretty, ah pretty, ah pretty, pretty
Ooh, isn't she a doll, hey, she's a natural doll, now
She's the kind of girl all of my life, now
I wanted her to be my wife
Because
She's got it, without a doubt
She really knocks me out
I can't do without her love
Ooh, isn't she pretty, ah pretty, ah pretty, ah pretty, pretty
Ooh, isn't she a doll? Hey, she's a natural doll, now
Oh do you know, you're a pretty little thing?
I really want to be your man
No, no, no, do you know why?
Why?
You ain't got just what it takes
Ooh, isn't she pretty, ah pretty, ah pretty, ah pretty, pretty
Ooh, isn't she a doll, hey, she's a natural doll, now
Every time she come near me, what do you say?
My words just-a disappear
Here she comes now
Jus' the walk
Listen to her sweet, sweet talk
I can't do without her love
Ooh, isn't she pretty, ah pretty, ah pretty, ah pretty, pretty
Ooh, isn't she a doll, she's a doll, now
She so fine, so fine, so fine
I, I wish she were mine, all mine
She so fine, so fine, so fine
I, I wish she were mine, all mine
I will build you a castle with a tower so high
Till it reaches the moon
I'll gather melodies from birdies that fly
And compose you a tune
Give you lovin' warm as mama's oven
And if that don't do then I'll try something new
I will take you 'way with me as far as I can
To Venus or Mars
There we will love with your hand in my hand
You'll be king of the stars
And every day we can play on the Milky Way
And if that don't do then I'll try something new
I will bring you a flower from the floor of the sea
To wear in your hair
I'll do anything and everything to make you happy, boy
To show you that I care
I'll pretend I'm jealous of all the fellas
And if that don't do then I'll try something new
I'll try something new
I'll try something new
I'll try something new
I was playin for keeps
But she was playin' a game
Now she's gone and left
And I don't know if I'll ever be the same
I wonder who she's seeing now
I wonder who she's holding now
I wonder who she's seeing now
I wonder who she's foolin'
She doesn't know now
She's tearing me apart
Breaking my heart, well
Doesn't know what I'm goin' through
I don't know what I'm gonna do
It's getting harder every single day
Without her
I wonder who she's seeing now
Oh I wish that I knew
I wonder who she's holding now
I wonder who she's seeing now
I wonder who she's foolin'
If I could find a way to turn back the tide
When she was still mine
To the love I'll remember with
I'll hold her in my arms again
And never let her slip away
I wonder who she's seeing now
I wonder who she's holding now
I guess it's more than breathing hard
I wonder who she's foolin'
I wonder who she's seeing now
I wonder who the girl's seeing right now
Even though she'd be gone today
Now I got to find my own way, yeah
Even though I need her more each day
I wonder, I wonder who she's seeing now
I wonder who's holding her right now
I don't know, I wonder who's she seeing now
I wonder who she's foolin', baby
I wonder, I wonder who she's foolin' now
I wonder who she's foolin' now
I wonder who she's seeing now
I wonder who she's fooling
If they got everything you need
But they gave you all the love you want
'Cause they know how to love you baby, love you baby
You ask if I remembered, when we first met
Girl, tell me how could I ever forget
There, you were standing there
Oh, with ruby lips and the golden hair
Your beauty seem to hypnotize me
I had that feeling I was no longer free
But when I ask you for a dance
You wouldn't even give me a chance
And it hurt me through and through
That was the first time I got over you
You had my heart dingling
Like a puppet on a string
To you I meant nothing, darling
But to me you meant everything
Girl, you know since then through the years
I have shed so many tears
And all because of you
I couldn't cry if I wanted to
I don't know why I still love you
'Cause you don't even want me around
Year after year it's the same old thing
You build me up, to let me down
So go on and hurt me
Oh, like you did
This time it'll be different
My tears you'll see no more
'Cause I've cried so through the years
Until I've run out of tears
And all because of you
I couldn't cry if I wanted to
I'll never shed another tear
I couldn't cry no love
Seems as though the pain have flown
The tears from my eyes
I'll never cry, never
Never no more

Childhood part of my life
Wasn't very pretty, see
(Boom, boom-boom, boom)
I was born and raised
In the slums of the city
(Boom, boom-boom, boom)
It was a one-room shack
That slept ten other children beside me
(Boom, boom-boom, boom)
We hardly had enough food
Or room to sleep
(Boom, boom-boom, boom)
It was hard times
I needed somethin' to ease my troubled mind
Ooh listen
My father didn't know the meaning of work
(Boom, boom-boom, boom)
He disrespected mama
And treated us like dirt
(Boom, boom-boom, boom)
I left home seeking a job
That I never did find
(Boom, boom-boom, boom)
Depressed and down-hearted
And I took to cloud nine
(Boom, boom-boom, boom)
I'm doing fine
Up here on cloud nine
Listen, one more time
I'm doing fine
Up here on cloud nine
Folks down there tell me
They say "Give yourself a chance, son
Don't let life pass you by"
(Woo, woo, woo-oo)
But the world, around you's a rat race
Where only the strongest survive
It's a dog-eat-dog world
And that ain't no lie
(Ain't no lie)
Listen, it ain't even safe no more
To walk the streets at night
I'm doing fine
On cloud nine
Let me tell you 'bout cloud nine
Cloud nine
You can be what you want to be
Cloud Nine
You ain't got no responsibility
Cloud nine
And every man, every man is free
Cloud nine
And you're a million miles from reality
Reality
I wanna' stay up
Higher
Up, up, up and away
Cloud nine
I wanna' say I love the life I live
And I'm gonna live the life I love
Or be on cloud nine
I, I, I, I, I, I'm ridin' high
On cloud nine
You're as free as a bird in flight
Cloud nine
There's no difference between day and night
Cloud nine
It's a world of love and harmony
Cloud nine
You're a million miles from reality
Reality
I wanna' stay up
Higher
Up, up, up and away
Cloud nine
You can be what you want to be
Cloud nine
You ain't got no responsibility
Cloud nine
Every man in his mind is free
Cloud nine
You're a million miles from reality
Cloud nine
By and by, you knew that you make me cry. (By and by, knew you'd make me cry)
And my love for you will never die. (My love will never, never die)
But I had to find out on my own
(Check yourself, check yourself)
Aww, that's what they told me. (Check yourself, check yourself)
I paid no mind. (Check yourself, check yourself)
I kept on breaking hearts, (Check yourself, check yourself)
All down the line. (Check yourself, check yourself)
Sometimes you just got to lose
That's when you pay your dues
I guess I was a fool, I guess I was a fool
To think that you'd stayed so true
Aww, I really played in the game. (Check yourself, check yourself)
I'd always win. (Check yourself, check yourself)
Now the tables turn. (Check yourself, check yourself)
And I'm on the losing end. (Check yourself, check yourself)
Oh don't, feel sorry
I had it coming, it's true
'Cause I'm losing, yes, I'm losing, I'm losing you
Before I go, I'd like for you to know
You've had my heart from the very start
But there's one more thing, before we part
And that's I'm sorry, sorry, sorry to my heart
Aww, I'm on my sad way. (Check yourself, check yourself)
Because I know I'd lost your love. (Check yourself, check yourself)
I'll kick it, like a pass. (Check yourself, check yourself)
But I'll be thinking of
The good times. (The good times)
The bad times. (The bad times)
But good or bad, happy or sad
Of memories. (Memories)
Sweet, sweet memories. (Memories)
Aww, memories are all I have
Aww, that's what they told me. (Check yourself, check yourself)
That's what they told me. (Check yourself, check yourself)
That's what they what they told me. (Check yourself, check yourself)
Yes, I'm smiling every time you pass me by
I know you wonder, why I never cry
But let me tell you, happiness, my happiness
Is just a camouflage, just a camouflage for a broken heart
I said it is now, yes, it is now, for a broken heart
They call me the joker 'cause I, I'm so gay
But I'm just a clown 'cause I'm really not that way
'Cause all my happiness, my happiness
Is just a camouflage, just a camouflage for a broken heart
I said it is now, yes, it is now, for a broken heart
They call me the joker 'cause I, I'm so gay
But I'm just a clown 'cause I'm really not that way
'Cause all my happiness, my happiness
Is just a camouflage, just a camouflage for a broken heart
Yes, it is now, yes, it is now, for a broken heart
Ooh baby, for a broken heart
So in love sad as can be
'Cuz your pretty face has got the best of me
Suddenly you came into my life
And gave it meaning and pure delight
Now good looks I've learned to do without
'Cuz now I know it's love
That really counts 'cuz I know that
Beauty's only skin deep yeah, yeah, yeah
Beauty's only skin deep oh, yeah
Now you speak your words worm and sincere
That lets me know your love is sincere
A pretty face you may not possess but
What I like about it is your tenderness
A pretty face may be some guys taste
But I'll take lovin' in its place, 'cuz I know that
Beauty's only skin deep yeah, yeah, yeah
Beauty's only skin deep oh, yeah
Oh baby, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Your beauty's only skin deep yeah, yeah, yeah
Your beauty's only skin deep oh yeah
My friends ask what do I see in you?
But it goes deeper than the eye can see
You gotta pleasin' personality
And that's an ever lovin' rare quality
Now, show me a girl a girl that's fine
But'll choose the one with true lovin'
Every time 'cuz I know that
Beauty's only skin deep yeah, yeah, yeah
Beauty's only skin deep oh, yeah
So if your lookin' for a lover, oh yeah
Don't judge a book by its cover, oh yeah
So maybe your fine on the outside, oh yeah
But so untrue on the inside, oh yeah
Beauty's only skin deep yeah, yeah, yeah
Beauty's only skin deep oh, yeah
Beauty's only skin deep yeah, yeah, yeah
I saw the saddest thing other day
When an old man pass my way
Walking the streets, so all alone
All because he had no home
But the saddest thing I've ever seen
Is a tear from a woman's eye
A tear from a woman's eye
I saw a man, no shoes on his feet
But the saddest thing is to see a woman weep
A woman is a tender thing
To see her cry, a sad, sad thing
Nothing touches me deeper inside
Than a tear from a woman's eye
A tear from a woman's eye
A woman's tears dropping on her cheek
Is like a sound of thunder that loudly it rings
Because when I see her cry
I know she hurts inside
Yes, the saddest thing I've ever seen
Is a tear from a woman's eye
A tear from a woman's eye
Sad, sad thing is a tear from a woman's eye
A sad, sad thing is to see a woman cry
Sad, sad, sad thing is a tear from a woman's eye
Like a long lonely stream
I keep runnin' towards a dream
Movin' on, movin' on
Like a branch on a tree
I keep reachin' to be free
Movin' on, movin' on
'Cause there's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for everyone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
There's a place in the sun
And before my life is done
Got to find me a place in the sun
Like an old dusty road
I get weary from the load
Movin' on, movin' on
Like this tired troubled earth
I've been rollin' since my birth
Movin' on, movin' on
'Cause there's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for everyone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
There's a place in the sun
And before my life is done
Oooooooooooooooh!
Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch
You know that I love you
I can't help myself
I love you and nobody else
In and out my life(in and out my life)
You come and you go(you come and you go)
Leaving just your picture behind....(ooh)
And I've kissed it a thousand times(ooh)
When you snap your finger, or wink you eye,
I come a-running to you
I'm tied to your apron strings,
And there's nothing that I can do
I can't help myself,
No, I can't help myself,
'Cause, Sugar Pie Honey Bunch
I'm weaker than a man should be
I can't help myself
I'm a fool in love 'ya see
Wanna tell you I don't love you,
Tell you that we're through
And I try....
But ev'ry time I see your face,
I get all choked up inside
When I call your name,
Girl, it starts to flame
Burning in my heart,
Tearing it all apart..
No matter how I try
My love I cannot hide....
'Cause Sugar Pie Honey Bunch
You know that I'm waiting for you(waiting for you)
I can't help myself
I love you and nobody else
Sugar Pie Honey Bunch
I'd do anything you ask me to(ask me to)
I can't help myself
I want you and nobody else
Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch
You know that I love you(I dooo)
I can't help myself...
Outside my window a robin builds a nest
At last winter's gone away to rest
Once again the leaves have return to the trees
I can just feel that soft summer breeze
There's magic in the air
Winter's disappeared, it's summer
Children will be playing in the park
Days will be longer till the dark
Nights will be warm with star filled skies
A perfect setting for a girl and a guy
There's magic in the air
Green grass every, everywhere it's summer
Don't you know it's summer time
And the livin' is easy oh, so easy
Everybody sing summer time
Now that summer's here there be million things to do
Vacation near or far, whatever pleases you
Summer is the happiest season of them all
So everybody get together and have yourselves a ball
There's magic in the air
Green grass every, everywhere, it's summer
There's magic in the air
Green grass every, everywhere, it's summer
It's summer time
Magic in the air
Green grass everywhere, oh, it's summer
Take a look around you
It's summer time
Magic in the air
Green grass everywhere, oh, it's summer
Once a wise man said to me, "This advice I give you free
A woman is made of fantasy, so fan the flame"
Always keep her hopes up high, make her laugh don't make her cry
And don't let her love die, so fan the flame
A woman needs love and affection
And little things mean a lot
(Little things mean a lot)
And when she has an emotional, baby
That's why you got to fan the flame to keep it burning hot
Make her feel, she ten feet tall
Even though she short and small, so fan the flame
Her love is your reality, let her go and you will see
Just how lonely life can be, so fan the flame
A woman needs love and praising
So give her them each day
Tell her you love her, it's added protection
That's why you got to fan the flame to keep it burning hot
Once a wise man said to me, "This advice I give you free
just for your

ANGEL DOLL
WRITERS MAURICE BRODNAX, STEVIE WONDER, CLARENCE PAUL
(Angel doll)
(Angel doll)
You excite me every time you speak.
When you touch me I get, oh, so weak.
I have never met a girl like you, baby.
You're the one that I'll give my whole life to.
All I wanna say is angel doll.
When I met you there with holiness.
You're my everything I must confess.
I have never known such tenderness.
Baby, you can't compare this love we share
That takes away my feels, yeah.
This love and real I can't conceal
And I'm so, so, so glad you're here.
Angel doll, it will be a great catastrophe, baby.
And my whole world would comin' down on me.
If our love would ever seize to be.
That's why I call you, angel doll.
You're the substance of my every prayer, baby.
I'll be happy with you anywhere.
Let me shield you with my loving care.
Heaven must have sent you, honey.
You're an angel in disguise, yeah.
'Cause all the love I wanted so long,
I can see it in your eyes.
Angel doll, you're the reason that I carry on, baby.
I can't make it, I can't make it by myself alone.
You're the one that I'm depending upon.
Angel doll, you know that I love you.
Angel doll, I put no one above you.
Angel doll, you knock me off of my feet.
Angel doll, you make my whole life complete.
TAKE A LOOK AROUND
WRITERS NORMAN WHITFIELD, BARRETT STRONG
Feather in your cap if you catch a robber,
Dirt in your face if your scheme falls through
Pay close attention to my story
You'll find every word is true.
Junk man standing on the corner
Selling death, no conscience has he.
In the name of God, wont somebody stop him
stop him, think about the children
Its a matter of life and death, you see.
Ain't no time to stand back and point your finger,
We've got to face reality.
No, no, no, no, no...
Don't turn your back on this problem, people,
too much depends on you and me.
Desperate with no sense of value,
just an evil mind lurking through the night.
Because of you, the streets ain't safe no more for walking,
cause you're feeling so up-tight.
Yes, my skin is black
But that's no reason to hold me back
Why don't you think about it, think about it
Think about it, think about it, think about it
Think about it, think about it
I have wants and desires just like you
So move on aside because I'm comin' through, oh
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now
Yes, your skin is white
Does that make you right?
Why don't you think about it, think about it
Think about it, think about it, think about it
Think about it, think about it
This is a message, a message to y'all
Together we stand, divided we fall
Black is a color just like white
Tell me how can a color determine whether you're wrong or right
We all have our faults, yes, we do
So look in your mirror, what do you see?
Two eyes, a nose and a mouth just like me
Oh, your eyes are open but you refuse to see
The laws of society were made for both you and me
Because of my color, I struggle to be free
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But in the end, you're gonna' see my friend, oh
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now
We are rollin', rollin', rollin', we are rollin' on
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now
Hey, we are rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' on
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now
You can't stop me, you can't stop me
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now

Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon and under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It's no matter darlin', where you are
I think of you night and day
Day and night, why is it so?
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffic gloom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you night and day
Night and day, under the hide of me
There's an oh, such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And this torment won't be through
'Til you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night, night and day
Only you beneath the moon and under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It's no matter darlin', where you are
I think of you night and day
Night and day, under the hide of me
There's an oh, such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And this torment won't be through
'Til you let me spend my life making love to you
Slow down heart, you're beating much too fast
Why don't you slow down, heart
As she goes walking past you
When I first saw you
(Hey)
My heart stood still
(Hey)
Down my spine
(Hey)
I felt cold chills
(Hey)
My head started spinning
(Ooh, ooh)
My knees got weak
Aw, I couldn't even speak
When my heart started pounding
(Heart started pounding like a)
Like a, mallet of a judge
I couldn't budge
(I couldn't budge)
I couldn't budge
(I couldn't budge)
I couldn't budge
(I couldn't budge)
So I said, slow down heart
Ay, slow down a heart
You're beating much too fast
You know that you're beating too fast
Slow down heart
As she goes walking past you
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Everyday I wait outside my door
(Hey)
(Hey)
Hoping you'll come by just once more
(Hey)
That's when in a distance
(Ooh, ooh)
I can see it's you
Aw, what could I do?
When my heart started pounding
(Heart started pounding)
Like a thousand drums
(Ooh, ooh)
Here she comes
(Oh, here she comes)
Oh, here she comes
(Oh, here she comes)
Oh, here she comes
(Oh, here she comes)
So I said, slow down heart
Slow down heart
You're beating much too fast
You know that you're beating too fast
Slow down heart
As she goes walking, past you
Born in a log cabin in the back woods
The back woods of Mississippi
She drank moonshine, chewed tobacco
Raised 16 children all by herself
Never looked much like a lady
You see mama ruined her body raisin' her babies
Spend her evenings sitting in a rockin' chair
Never had much o nothin but was always willin to share
Talking 'bout ma, talkin' 'bout ma
Yeah, yeah, yeah, talking 'bout ma
Talkin' 'bout ma
Every once in awhile when ma would get depressed
She'd go to the cabinet and get paw's guitar
Sit herself down in the rockin' chair
Start strummin' and hummin', ha ha, yeah
That was ma's way of lettin' off steam
In plan old English you could see
That ma was doin' her thing
Every once in awhile she'd shout, "Let it all hang out"
Oow talkin' 'bout ma, talking 'bout ma
Yeah, yeah, yeah, talking 'bout ma
Well, get down
Ah, ah...
Doctor and lawyer
Get up and let your reputation
Let your hair down
Mister business man
All work and no play
Makes Jack a dull boy
Hey, mister businessman
You're always on the go
You make your fortune yet
You're working harder
Than ever before
All those pills you're taking daily
Will never see you through
Cause none of them are
Prescribed for what's ailing you
It don't take no doctor, Lord
To see what you got
Your life can turn into
One great big knot
Let your hair down
Can you let it down
Let it down, let it down
Get up and let your reputation
Let your hair down
Don't you ever be ashamed
Of what you're doing
All work and no play
Makes Jack a dull boy
How do you, Mr Dibley?
Sometimes, you look such a pity
I got some advice for you
Take this record in your room
Let it down, let it down
Let your hair down
Let it down, let it down
All you got to do is let
The music take your mind
Show your partner
Anything they can do
You can do better
This is the dawn of the song
Where the boys take the throne
Down, down, down
Let it down, let it down...
Let your hair down
For every little kiss there's a little teardrop.
For every single thrill there's another heartache.
The road is rough.
The going gets tough.
Yes love is a hurtin' thing.
And oh love is a hurtin' thing.
When you're in my arms I'm king on a throne.
But when we're apart I walk the streets all alone.
One day happiness,
The next day loneliness.
Yes love is a hurtin' thing.
And oh love is a hurtin' thing.
When love brings so much joy, why must it bring so much pain?
Yes it's a mystery that nobody can explain.
Maybe I'm a fool to keep on loving you.
'Cause there may come a time you'll break my heart in two.
But I want you so,
and I want you to know that
Love is a hurtin' thing.
Oh sweet love.
Oh, Holy Night
The stars
Are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear
Saviour's birth
Long lay the world in sin
And error pining
'Til He appeared
And the soul felt
It's worth a thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new
And glorious morn
Fall on your knees
Oh, hear the angel voices
Oh, night divine
Oh, night
When Christ was born
Oh, night divine
Oh night
Oh, Holy night
Fall on your knees
Oh, hear the angel voices
Oh, night divine
Oh, night
When Christ was born
Oh, night divine
Oh, night
Oh, Holy night
Oh, night divine
Oh, night
When Christ was born
Oh, night divine
Oh night
Oh, Holy night
Fall on your knees
Oh, hear the angel voices
Oh, night divine
Oh, night
When Christ was born
Oh, night divine
Oh, night
I'm a bachelor... It's not by choice
I'm a bachelor - I've got to speak my voice
Listen here...
I've been a lot of places in my lifetime
I've had a lot of women that I thought was mine - many times
There's not many things in life that I won't do - naw
But I'm still a lonely man, and I've got to tell you
That I'm a bachelor... It's not by choice
I'm a bachelor - I've got to speak my voice
Well...
I really want a girl I can bring my money to - yes I do
And do all the things that the sweet thing wants me to - yeah
But I'm not rushing, I'm taking it one step at a time
Cause when I find that girl, she'll know that she's mine
Until I do, I'm a bachelor... It's not by choice - naw
I'm a bachelor - I've got to speak my voice

Heyyy
Woo eww eww, dih dih dih dihhh
To dream the impossible dream, to fight the unbeatable foe, to bare with unbarable sorrow, to run(where the brave) where the brave dare not go.
To right the unrightable wrong to love here and chaste from afar. To try when your arms are to weary to reach the unreachable star(that star above) this is my quest(this is my quest) to follow that star(to follow that star) no matter how hopeless, no matter how far, to fight for the right without question or pause, to be willing to march into Hell for a Heavenly cause, and I know if I only be true to this glorious quest that my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I'm laid to my rest(peace and quietness you're sure to find)
THE CHRISTMAS SONG (CHESTNUTS ROASTING ON AN OPEN FIRE)
WRITERS MEL TORME, ROBERT WELLS
No more water in the well, no more
No more water in the well, baby no more
You take my love for granted like water
Water you spill and you waste
Though love is thicker than water
It spills quicker than water and you'll lookup one of these days
And there'll be no more water in the well, baby no more
No more water in the well, baby no more, no
This is the day you better plan on, baby
You won't have a leg to stand on, baby
How long do you think my love can last
Through sorrow pain and mistrust?
Today my love is strong but keep doing me wrong
And tomorrow it may turn to dust
And there'll be no more water in the well, baby no more
No more water in the well, baby no more, hear what I say
This is the day you better plan on, baby
You won't have a leg to stand on, baby
No more water in the well, baby no more
No more water in the well, baby no more
You take advantage of me 'coz I need you
I can't make you change though I've tried to
One day you just make me, that you'll need me
And you'll be the one who'll be nice
'Coz there'll be no more water in the well, no more
No more water in the well, baby no more, baby no more
This is the day you better plan on, baby
You won't have a leg to stand on, baby
No more water in the well, baby no more
I know you're pleased with all the presents
That you found lying under the tree
I can tell it brought some gladness to your heart
But on this yuletide holiday
Would you pause and give a little thought to me
And we can share the most important gift of all
Cause we know Love comes with Christmas
And goes with every other day of the year
We know that Love comes with Christmas
And goes with every other day of the year
I know the wine, roasting holly
Will grace the table with all the trimmings on that day
As we wish each other's families peace and joy
And mistletoe and all it's splendor
May be seen hanging from each welcome door
But we feel the same way we felt the day before
Cause we know Love comes with Christmas
And goes with every other day of the year
We know that Love comes with Christmas
And goes with every other day of the year
It's a happy time whether rain, snow, or sunshine
The world is slow, it's cold, we celebrate
With kisses warm, I'll give you one for every season
And renew the vows we made our wedding day
So let the bells bring down the children
Leave the beds with the coming of the dawn
To see that Santa kept his promise and came to call
While we both watch them in satisfaction
When we have each other Summer, Spring or Fall
We know that Love comes with Christmas
And goes with every other day of the year
We know that Love comes with Christmas
JUST ANOTHER LONELY NIGHT
WRITERS IVY HUNTER, WILLIAM STEVENSON
Morning... (Mor-or-ning)
Seems to come so slow.
Knowing... (Know-ow-ing)
How I need this warming glow.
Foolishly, I've made you cried.
Confident, you never say goodbye.
Darling, that's the reason why,
That even in a crowd, laughing out loud, I'm lonely. (Lonely)
For I love you only. And without you,
Every night's... just another lonely night.
Falling. (Just another)
Tears are falling from my eyes.
I'm calling (Just another)
Out your name, tearful sigh.
How I pray it's not too late.
All my life for you I wait.
Just call me I won't hesitate,
For when you left you took the best of me.
I love you, can't you see?
Since you've been gone,
Every night's... just another lonely night.
(Just another)
Since you've been gone my life is so lonely, baby, baby.
It's just-a (Just another)
Even my sun is hopeing.
(Just another)
Oh, it's all I need is you only.
Hmmm
(Just another)
I'm just no good without you, baby.
NO MAN CAN LOVE HER LIKE I DO!
Ah, he can buy her diamonds, he can buy her pearls,
He can send her on a trip, all around this world.
He can buy her anything her little heart desires
But he don't know how to set that little girl's soul on fire
Even though he drives a big fine Cadillac car,
And he keeps her dressed up (ah!) like a movie star.
Anything she asks of him, his money can buy
But when it comes down to love, she gives me a try!
No man can love her like I doâ¦
Tell the truth, no man can love her like I do,
No man can love her like I doâ¦
Even though I don't have one thin dime,
Everytime I call her, you know she's right on time.
No man can love her like I doâ¦
Ain't no man in this land who can love her like I do!
there's a christmas tree in a window frame
just inside my door
but my christmas tree doesn't look the same
as it always has before
there's just one lonely present
beneath my christmas tree
cause the best little present a guy could have
has gone away from me
oh my christmas tree isn't very big
in fact it's kind of small
oh it's funny when she'd pick them out
they'd always seem so tall
the light doesn't seem so bright this year
it's hard for me to see
the smile that made my christmas right
has gone away from me
i have been so lonely
since you left me all alone
all i want for christmas
is my baby, my baby back home
oh my christmas tree is so sad and bare
my roon so big and cold
oh they wish me happy new year
but the new year's already old
there's no, no little angel
on top where she used to be
cause the angel that made my christmas right
has gone away from me
cause the angel that made my christmas right
has gone away from me
cause the angel that made my christmas right
has gone away from me
Do do do
Everybody say, now
Do do do
Do do do, hey
When my dad thought I had become of age
He said, "Son, you're getting to the lovin' stage"
I said, "Oh yeah, oh yeah"
"It's time you stopped being all alone
You've got to find a girl you can call your own"
I said, "Not now, I'll tell you later
Not now, I'll tell you when
Not now, I'll tell you later
When I'm gonna fall in love"
Do do do
Do do do, hey
I met a little girl, fine as could be
I said, "Dad, there's the girl who was made for me"
I said, "Oh yeah, oh yeah"
I thought if I tried, I just couldn't miss
So I asked the lil' girl for just one lil' kiss
She said, "Not now, I'll tell you later
Not now, I'll tell you when
Not now, I'll tell you later
When I'm gonna fall in love"
When it's time for you to fall in love
It won't make sense for you to hurry
Take your time and make up your mind
'Cause the surer you are, the less you have to work
Do do do
Do do do, hey
Not now, I'll tell you later
Not now, I'll tell you when
Not now, I'll tell you later
When I'm gonna fall in love
Not now, I'll tell you later
Not now, I'll tell you when
Not now, I'll tell you later
When I'm gonna fall in love
One, two
One, two
One, two, three
Keep on truckin', baby
I got to keep on truckin'
Got to get to your good lovin'
Shame, a double shame on me, yeah
Love, I let it control me, yeah
From just one kiss I am inspired
To love lovers and climb over the fire
And I'll keep on truckin', baby
I got to keep on truckin'
I got to get to your sweet lovin'
Baby, that's bad, so hard to bear, yeah
Yes, babe, you're hard to bear, yeah
I've got fever rising with desire
It's my love Jones and I feel like I'm on fire
And I'll keep on truckin', baby
I got to keep on truckin'
Got to get to your good lovin'
Feelin' good
No, you can't stop the feelin'
Feelin'
No, you can't stop the feelin'
No, not now
I'm feelin' love of express of lovin'
Diesel-powered straight to you, I'm truckin'
In old temptation's rain, I'm duckin'
Lyrics
Dennis: Sick minds, sad sights,
Never ending sleepless nights have been accepted as an everyday thing.
Wire tapping, kidnapping...
Melvin: Will the Russians push the button?
Dennis: I tell you, people, our thoughts and values have got to change.
They say love is the strongest force on this earth.
Uh, but to me, peace among people surpasses love and worth.
People (jobs don`t come no bigger than the one we`ve got to do.)
If we don`t give peace a chance, what do you think is gonna hapen to me and you?
Melvin: Think about it.
Dennis: That`s why I am reaching out my hand to be your friend.
This unrest between races has got to come to an end.
Don`t let the color of my skin confuse you.
I swear on a stack of bibles I won`t misuse you.
So put your (hand in mine.)
Huh, we`re gonna form a human chain, mightier than a hurricane.
(And walk this land, hand in hand, day and night, black and white.)
We gotta unite the world.
(Walk this land, day and night, hand in hand, black and white.)
Come on and sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it.
We got to unite the world.
(Walk this land, day and night, hand in hand, black and white.)
Log on to kill this message.
Come on and sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it with me.
We got to unite the world.
(Walk this land, day and night, ahnd in hand, black and white.)
God almighty,. Sing it, sing it, sing it.
Aww, unite the world.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Awww.
Oh, ding-dong-ding let the freedom bell ring.
The good Lord made you and me, what he wanted us to be.
Free all those people you got chained up in your (mind.)Hmmm-mm-hmmm, now there`s truth in what I`m saying.
We gotta stop the games we`re playing.
Two wrongs ain`t never made a right (Right)
Hung up, tripped out, whatever you may be,
Now is the time to set yourself free.
Put your (hand in mine.) Huh, come on.
Oh, and let`s walk.
Oh, we gonna...(walk this land, day and night, hand in hand, black and white.)
Sing it with me now...(walk this land, day and night, hand in hand, black and white.)
Raise your voices and sing along with me.
Come on, we gonna unite the world.
(Walk this land, day and night, hand in hand, black and white.)
We gonna...(walk this land, day and night, hand in hand, black and white.)
We gonna unite the world.
(Walk this land, day and night, hand in hand, black and white.)
Sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it.
Aw, come on, come on, come on, come on.
(Walk this land, day and night, hand in hand, black and white.)
(Walk this land, day and night, hand in hand, black and white.)
(Walk this land, day and night, hand in hand, black and white.)

Miscellaneous
The Last Good Man In My Life
Think the trees are shedding leaves
It looks that way and I might say
The same applies to me
'Cause it's autumn in my heart
And you're the reason dear
I should try to get you back
Instead of sitting being silly here
'Cause you're the last good man in my life
You left me half the woman that I was
But I'm gonna find the time
And you bet I'm gonna climb
Bacm into the arms of the last good man that I loved
Could have been me acting smart
But you know how I can't end what I usually start
You'll realize soemthing's gone
Sure hope you miss me then
But I wouldn't make a fool of you
Doo doo doot doot doot
Higher, higher
Doo doo doot
Doo doo doot doot doot
La la oo hoo
Don't change your style now
That you've reached the top
Don't choose your friends
By what they've got
Remember beneath the glitter and gleam
Like everyday people
You're just a human being
Superstar, good god
Enjoy your champagne and caviar
And your chauffeur drivin' fancy car
But remember how you got where you are
Oh, ho ho cause the same folks that made you
Um hum you better believe they can break you
La la loo
No, you didn't make it all by yourself
You had help from somebody else
The truth is the light
Don't let it depress you
You just be thankful
That the good Lord made you
Superstar ah do you know
Who your real friends are
I'm talkin' to you
Superstar remember how you got where you are
Ah ah down, down, down, down
Drummer keep it going, going
Horns start blowin'
Right on time blow my mind
Higher, higher, higher
It's easy for you to look down
Turn up your nose and frown
Now that you're on top
Don't let the bright lights blind you
Don't burn 'em behind you
Superstar ah do you know
Who your real friends are
I'm talkin' to you
Superstar remember how you got where you are
Um hum, um hum
Don't change your style now
That you've reached the top
Don't choose your friends
By what they've got
Remember beneath the glitter and gleam
Like everyday people
You're just a human being
Superstar, do you know
Well boys and girls, it's Christmas time again
So you better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's making a list, checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Now listen, he sees you when you're sleeping, oh yeah
And he knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake, oh, oh
You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rootie-toot-toot and rummy-tum-tum
Santa Claus is coming to town
Oh, so you better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
I watch you go to church on Sunday
But you forget all you learned on Monday
You see your smiling face can't hide
How you hate your brother inside
So Ima telling you
Run, Charlie, run
Look! The niggers are coming!
(The niggers are coming?!)
Run, Charlie, run
Look! The niggers are coming!
(The niggers are coming?!)
You built this great big beautiful city
But you ran away and left it to die. What a pity.
You could have made friends with your neighbor
But you are much too prejudiced to try; tell me why!
So Ima telling you
Run, Charlie, run
Look! The niggers are coming!
(The niggers are coming?!)
Run, Charlie, run
Look! The niggers are coming!
(The niggers are coming?!)
But the greatest wrong you know you've done
Is you passed this sickness onto your son
(your one and only boy)
He came into this world with a mind so clean
You took it, molded it, and made it mean!
So Ima telling you
Run, Charlie, run
Look! The niggers are coming!
(The niggers are coming?!)
Run, Charlie, run
Look! The niggers are coming!

[Written by: Barrett Strong & Norman Whitfield [1]
Performed by: The Temptations [2] -1970 [3]
Appears on: Psychadelic Shack-1970, Emperors of Soul-1994, The Real Thing:
The Tempations-1998, Pshychadelic Soul-2003, Does Anybody Know I'm Here?
Vietnam Through the Eyes of Black America 1962-1972-2005*, Power to the
Motown People: Civil Rights-2007*, Discoveries 15-2008, The Complete
Collection-2008 [4], et al. (*Compilations of various artists.)]
[1] Producer Norman Whitfield, who had been reinventing the Temptations as a
psychedelic soul act since 1969, had co-written, "War" a strident anti-war
protest song. It was recorded for the Temps' Psychedelic Shack LP released in
1970, and in spite of growing demand for a single release, Motown didn't want
the Temps to take such an aggressive stance. So Whitfield recut "War," with
Edwin Starr, and the resulting version was arguably the most incendiary song
Motown ever released. Starr's rendition makes the Temptations' version seem
sedate.]
[2] Originally recorded by the Temptations in 1970 See [1] above. Other
covers include, Edwin Starr, BB Band, Boyz II Men, Frankie Goes to Hollywood,
Joan Osborne and Bruce Springstein.]
[3] The Temptations' version of "War," features Paul Williams (tenor) and
Dennis Edwards (tenor) on lead vocals, and is much less intense than Edwin
Starr's hit version that we're more familiar with. Williams and Edwards
deliver the song's anti-war, pro-peace message over a stripped-down
instrumental track, with Melvin Franklin (bass) chanting a repeated boot
camp-like, "hup, two, three, four," in the background during the verses.
Other back up vocals are by Eddie Kendricks (tenor) and Otis Williams
may i have this dance
i've been waitin for this chance
all night long (all night long)
and this night i'll always treasure
if i could have the pleasure
to excort you
dont you know i've bit my nails in to
wantin to dance with you
but i was much too shy
i never had the nerve
before you'd dance across the floor with another guy
the way he held you in his arms
with his many charms
i knew my chances were slim
in order to get to you
there's only one thing to do
so i got rid of him
ooh hoo i told him that a girl
by the name of pearl
was looking for him
and when i turned around
he was nowhere to be found
so here i am
ooh i gotta have this dance (gotta have this dance with you)
honey i (gotta have this dance with you)
honey i, honey i, honey i, have this dance
honey i (gotta have this dance with you)
gotta have this dance
Paul:
You Know thereÂ's Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen.
Dennis:
Comet and Cupid an Donner and Blitzen.
Eddie:
Oh, but do you recall...
Otis:
The most famous reindeer of all?
Eddie:
Whoa-o-o-o-o
Melvin:
His name is...
Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer.
Had a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw it.
You would even say it glows.
All of the other, other, other reindeer.
Used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Rudolph.
Join in any reindeer games.
(Then one foggy Christmas eve)
You know (Santa came to say...)
(Hey Rudolph)
You, with your nose so bright.
Melvin: Come on, come on, come on, come on and guide my sleigh tonight.
Then how the reindeer loved him.
As they shouted out with glee. (Hey Rudolph)
Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer.
You'll go down in history.
(Then one foggy Christmas eve)
Santa came to say...
(Hey Rudolph)
You, with your nose so bright.
Melvin: Come on, come on, come on, come on and guide my sleigh tonight.
Then how the reindeer loved him.
As they shouted out with glee. (Hey Rudolph)
Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer.
You'll go down in history.
Ooo, Rudolph, come on and guide my sleigh.
Ooo, Rudolph, come on and guide my sleigh.
Hey, hey, hey, Rudolph, come on and guide my sleigh tonight.
Kumba ya-ya
Oh my soul, of my whole ya-ya-ya
Price so right, my whole ya-ya-ya
Born into this world a baby
You're mind is clear as the air
Time passes
You learn to walk and talk
Time passes
You learn right from wrong
Time passes
You leave home seeking a life
Of your own
I'm tellin' you the natural facts
For way this world
Listen to me people
You make your own heavens and hell
Right here on earth
I'm tellin' you the natural facts
For way this world
You make you own heaven and hell
Right here on earth
On earth, on earth, on earth
Time passess
And your values change
Life becomes a strange, confusing game
Suddenly you want the finer things in life
But you find it takes a lots of hard work
Now you're standing
At the crossroads of life
To satisfy your personal wants
Will you do wrong
Or will you do right?
Well one thing you must admit
And you know it's true
The final decision
Is still up to you
I'm tellin' you the natural facts
For way this world
Listen to me people
You make your own heaven and hell
Right here on earth
Let me tell you one more time
I'm tellin' you the natural facts
For way this world
You make your own heaven and hell
Right here on earth
Listen people
Life is a giant, invisible scale with two sides
Good and bad
You and your beliefs
Are the weights
The things you do each day
Determine the balance
Your conscience is a flawless
Judge and jury
The only question is what you want
The first love of your life wasn't true to you and it broke your little heart.
He loved you, then he left you, confused, misused and in the dark.
Won't you let me walk into your world of darkness and confusion?
Let me show you there's another side to love that's more than a sweet illusion.
If you just believe, just believe in love again.
You'll find there's two sides to love and what you experienced wasn't the real thing.
Cause true love is an emotion that can soothe your very soul.
It brings joy to a heart of sadness and warmth to a life grown cold.
Don't give it up. Don't hang your head down. Life can be beautiful.
Just open your heart, stretch out your arms. Let love work a miracle.
Though your dreams are shattered and torn, girl all your dreams can be reborn. Cause it's never to late for your dream to come true.
Just believe, just believe in a heart that's true.
You'll find there's two sides to love and all my love it's so true it won't make you blue.
Cause true love won't bring troubles, it would bathe your troubles away.
It will ne're leave every dark cloud in the light and make room for a brighter day.
Two sides to love .
Let me show you the other side.
What you saw was the bad side.
Let me show you the real side.
If you're living in a glass house
Don't throw no stones
If you're living in a glass house
Don't throw no stones
We're born and alone
And we die alone
What can we do in between
I don't what's going on in your house
When you close your door
If you stop looking in my bedroom window
I'll stop looking in yours
And she caught me with Alice
And she threw me out the door
The real reason that she was so mad
Is that she was getting Alice before
Living in a glass house
Don't you throw no stones
Living in a glass house
Don't you throw no stones
I ain't no fool
Sweet talking, bar hopping
Pill popping, wife swapping
Swapping, swapping, swapping
Sweet talking, bar hopping
Pill popping, wife swapping
Swapping, swapping, swapping
If you're living in a glass house
Don't throw no stones
If you're living in a glass house
Don't throw no stones
If you're living in a glass house
Don't throw no stones
If you're living in a glass house
Don't throw no stones
Sweet talking, bar hopping
Pill popping, wife swapping
Swapping, swapping, swapping
Sweet talking, bar hopping
Pill popping, wife swapping
Swapping, swapping, swapping
Hey, hey
Gotta say it again
I gotta say it again
Baby
Listen baby
Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time
I see reflections of you and me
Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me
I'm all alone now
No love to shield me
Trapped in a world of a distorted reality
Happiness you took from me
And left me alone
With only memories
Through the mirror of my mind
Through these tears that I'm crying
Reflects a hurt I can't control
'Cause although you're gone
I keep holdin' on to those happy times
Oh, when you were mine
Oh and I peer through the window of lost time
Lookin' over my yesterdays
And all the love I gave all in vain
All the love
All the love that I've wasted
All the tears
All the tears that I've tasted all in vain
Through the hollow of my tears
I see a dream that's lost
From the hurt that you have caused
Everywhere I turn
Seems like everything I see
Reflects the love that used to be
Oh, into you I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
My world has turned to dust
Oh, after all the nights
I sat alone and wept
Just a handful of promises
Are all that's left of lovin' you
Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me
Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me
Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me
Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me
Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me
I've got reflections of love
That used to be
I've got reflections of love
That won't set me free
I've got reflections baby
You took my world to dust
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
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 emotion
I want to stop and thank you, baby
I just want to stop and thank you, baby
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
I close my eyes at night
Wondering where would I be without you in my life
Everything I did was just a bore
Everywhere I went, it seems I'd been there before
But you brighten up for me, all of my days
With a love so sweet, in so many ways
I want to stop and thank you, baby
I just want to stop and thank you, baby
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
You were better for me, than I was for myself
For me, there's you and there ain't nobody else
I want to stop and thank you, baby
I just want to stop and thank you, baby
How sweet it is to be loved by you
DON'T LET HIM TAKE YOUR LOVE FROM ME
WRITERS
NORMAN WHITEFIELD, BARRETT STRONG
Hmm, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
You don't have to tell me you've gone to found someone new.
'Cause I can feel his presence, whenever I'm-a kissing you.
How can you ask me to try, try and understand
Well, just put yourself in my place.
Go on, just see if you can.
I'm-a begging you. (Don't, don't you let him)
Baby, please. (Don't let him, don't let him take your love from me)
I'm begging you, baby. (Don't, don't you let him)
Oh no. (Don't let him, don't let him take your love from me)
So what if he whispers how much he loves you in your ear.
But pay no mind 'cause I love you much more my dear, huh.
My love are like mountains.
That's how strong it is for you.
If you ever walk away in to his arms
Which will surely break my heart in two.
I'm begging you. (Don't, don't you let him)
Oh no. (Don't let him, don't let him take your love from me)
Baby, baby, I'm begging. (Don't, don't you let him)
No, no, no, no. (Don't let him, don't let him take your love from me)
Oh, I couldn't stand it, baby.
Instrumental
If you leave me for him you would truly be unfair.
Now, just ask yourself, whenever you needed me, wasn't I always there
Now, I'm begging you, baby, baby, down on my bended knees.
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, please stay here with me.
Baby, please. (Don't, don't you let him)
Oh no. (Don't let him, don't let him take your love from me)
Baby, baby, please. (Don't, don't you let him)
I couldn't stand it. (Don't let him, don't let him take your love from me)

Say, you
Who do you belong to?
Say, you
I've been hoping to meet you
Baby (Baby)
You've caught my eye
I can't deny
I realize it's you
I like what I see
You're perfect for me
Fast and fancy
Say, you
Who do you love? (Say, you)
I don't want to be friends if my heart kept seein'
Watching you play around (You play around)
This would make me sad
Hurt so bad
Drag my spirit down
Girl... Say, you
Who do you love? (Say, you)
(Baby) Give me the key to your heart.
Baby, say you
Who do you belong to?
(Give me the key to your heart)
Baby, baby, you, Lil' Girl
(Give me the key to your heart)
Look what you've done.
You made a fool out of someone. (Out of someone)
You thought love was true and found out that you were just having fun. (Just having fun)
And oh, why do you wanna make me blue?
After all, I've been good to you. (I've been good to you)
Oh, yes I have.
And I recall the time, hmmm, you needed somebody and I made you mine.
You needed a friend so I took you in and treated you so kind.
And oh, why do you wanna make me blue?
After... After all, I've been good to you. (I've been good to you)
Oh, yes I have.
And you know I've always been around.
And I never, never, never let you down.
And now you telling me that you must go.
You know that you're hurting me so-o-o-o-o.
But there, there come a time
One day, one day, one day you gonna wake up and find
You come back to me on your bending knee and you're gonna be crying.
And oh, believe me, what I say it true, baby.
After all, I've been good to you. (I've been good to you)
Everyday... and everyway. (I've been good to you)
Remember me the one who heard your cries
And reached out and dried your eyes
Remember me the one who found you and wrapped all my love around you
When you were all alone and your dreams were all gone
When you were nothing but a tear stained face I did feel for you
Girl your broken wing is mended and your need for me has ended
Girl you say you must be free
You wanna fly away from me
You were lost and your yesterday is my tomorrow
And now you say you must be free, baby
Sorry is a sorry word after all I've done for you
Sorry is a sorry word when I need a love that's true
Out of sympathy and all you feel for me
After all the sweet love I've given to you (given you baby)
Girl you walk away with the best part of me
The love I gave to you to give it to someone new
And sorry won't ease the feeling.
Sorry is a sorry word after all I've done for you
You've given me a true love
And every day, I thank you, love
For a feeling that's so new
So inviting, so exciting
Whenever you're near
I hear a symphony
A tender melody
Pulling me closer and closer to your arms
Then suddenly
(I hear a symphony)
Oh, your lips are touching mine
A feeling that's so divine, 'till I leave my past behind
I'm lost in a world made for you and me, oh, yeah
Whenever you're near
I hear a symphony
Sweet and tenderly
Every time your lips meet mine
Baby, baby
I hear a symphony
A tender melody
Holdin' me closer and closer
Baby, baby
I hear a symphony
A tender melody
Uh, yeah, uh
Baby, baby
I hear a symphony
(So sweet, so sweet)
A tender melody
(A tender melody)
As I walk this land of broken dreams
I have visions of many things
'Cause happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion
What becomes of the brokenhearted?
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind, maybe
The roots of love grow all around
But for me, they come tumbling down
Every day, heartaches grow a little stronger
I can't stand this pain much longer
I walk in shadows, searching for light
Cold and alone, no comfort in sight
Hoping and praying for someone to care
Always moving but going nowhere
What becomes of the brokenhearted?
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind, maybe
I'm searching though I don't succeed
But someone else has a growing need
All is lost, there's no place for beginning
All that's left is an unhappy ending
Now what becomes of the brokenhearted?
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
I'll be searching everywhere
Just to find someone to care
I'll be looking everyday
I know I'm gonna find a way
Nothing's gonna stop me now
I'll find a way somehow
Got to find her, got to find her, got to find her
Oh, I'll be searching
Got to find her, got to find her, got to find her
Oh, I'll be searching
Got to find her, got to find her, got to find her
Oh, I'll be searching
Got to find her, got to find her, got to find her
Oh, I'll be searching
Got to find her, got to find her, got to find her
Oh, I'll be searching
Got to find her, got to find her, got to find her
Smiling faces sometimes pretend to be your friend
Smiling faces show no traces of the evil that lurks within
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth uh
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
The truth is in the eyes
Cause the eyes don't lie, amen
Remember a smile is just
A frown turned upside down
My friend let me tell you
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth, uh
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
Beware, beware of the handshake
That hides the snake
I'm telling you beware
Beware of the pat on the back
It just might hold you back
Jealousy (jealousy)
Misery (misery)
Envy I tell you, you can't see behind smiling faces
Smiling faces sometimes they don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
(Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes)
(Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes)
I'm telling you beware, beware of the handshake
That hides the snake
Listen to me now, beware
Beware of that pat on the back
It just might hold you back
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
Your enemy won't do you no harm
Cause you'll know where he's coming from
Don't let the handshake and the smile fool ya
You played hooky from school
And you can't go out to play, yeah
Mama said for the rest of the week
In your room you gotta stay, yeah
Now you feel like the whole world's pickin' on you
But deep down inside you know it ain't true
You've been punished 'cause your mother
Wants to raise you the right way, yeah
But you don't care, 'cause you already made up your mind
You wanna run away, yeah you're on your way
Run away child, running wild
Run away child, running wild
Better come back home, better come back home
Where you belong, where you belong
Roaming through the city, going nowhere fast
You're on your own at last
Hey it's getting late, where will you sleep
Gettin' kind-a hungry, you forgot to bring something to eat
Oh, lost with no money, you start to cry
But remember you left home wanting to be grown
So dry your weepin' eyes
Siren screamin' down, neon light is flickin', you want your mama
Ah, there's nothing for you
You're frightened and confused I want my mama
But she's much too far away
She can't hear a word you say
You heard some frightening news on the radio
About little boys running away from home
And their parents don't see them no more
You wanna stop hitch a ride and go home
But your mama told you never trust a stranger
And you don't know which way to go
Streets are dark and deserted
Not a sound nor sign of life
How you long to hear your mother's voice
'Cause you're lost and alone but remember you made the choice
Run away child, running wild
You, better go back home where you belong
Run away child, running wild
You, better go back home where you belong
You're lost in this great big city
Go back home where you belong
Not one familiar face; ain't a pity?
Go back home where you belong
Oh, runaway child runnin' wild
You'd better go back home where you belong
Run away child, running wild
You, better go back home where you belong
Mama, mama, please, come and see about me!
But she's much too far away; she can't hear a word you say
I want a love I can see
That's the only kind that means a thing to me
Don't want a love you have to tell me about
That kind of loving I can sure do without
(I can sure do without)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I want a love I can feel
That's the only kind of loving I think it's real
Don't want to be quoted by something I heard now
'Cause baby action speaks louder than words
(Ah, louder than words)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I want a love that's mine
(I want a love, that's mine)
In the rain or in sun, sun, sunshine
(I want a love, that's mine)
A love to keep warm when it's cold
(I want a love, that's mine)
The kind of love that will never grow old
(Never grow old)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Don't you know I want a love
Why don't you know I want a love
Why don't you know I want a love
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Want a love I can see
(I wanna love I can see)
The kind of love you can give to me
(Give to me)
The kind of kisses to make, make me melt
(Ooo, make me melt)
The kind of love that can really be felt, now
(Really be felt)
Yeah, yeah, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, I
(Why don't you know I want a love)
Yeah, I want her love now
(Why don't you know I want a love)
The kind of love that can be felt
(Why don't you know I want a love)
Yeah, yeah, yeah baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, I
(Why don't you know I want a love)
Yeah
(Why don't you know I want a love)
No I, I, I, I, I wanna love her
(Why don't you know I want a love)
Uh-huh, yeah
Immature, come again
With another one, ya heard
That's right
Ninety-nine, for you mind
You can not bring back, no oh, broken heart
You can not bring back my love
So why you go and play on me?
(You tried to play on me, you tried to play on me)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Temptations of a broken heart, oh, oh
(Wha-wha-what?)
(What? What? What? What? What?)
It started out as a normal argument to make me mad
You messed with him, the lies you told
You got caught, not gonna clown
Just tempted to play back on you
Girl it's plain (It's plain)
What are you trying to prove?
You messed with me
He'll mess with you too
Girl tell me what you're trying to do-do
- Temptations of a broken heart
You can not bring back my love
I didn't mean to do you wrong
You can not bring back my love
So why you go and play on me?
You can not bring back my love
Temptations of a broken heart
You can not bring back my love
I can not think, too much on me
Never thought of love like this
(Yeah, yeah)
Would last so long but I am wrong
Truly I can fix the love we had
But you did me wrong
I brought the best out of you
That's why you want me back
I ran a game but I apologize
You ran a game but you told me lies
Temptations of a broken heart
You can not bring back
You can not bring back my love
You can not bring back
I didn't mean to do you wrong
So why you go and play on me?
You can not bring it back to me, oh yeah
Temptations of a broken heart
You can not bring back my love
You said you had a love for me
But when we fell out, you played games on me
And it's clear to see, that what you do when it's killing me
Now it's too late, what's done is done
You cannot bring back my love cause I have a broken heart
You don't know where I been, Ra-Ra back again
Came to set it straight, straight
Sippin on Cavace
Niggaz all about that pay
Ride to the top with no V8
Be mad, top 6, double 0 for the day
Tell me, tell me, tell me, what you gotta say
Took my love for granted, granted
Now I'm about to let you have this
Now I got plenty girls, wanna take me all around the world
You want me back it's too late
Found a chick to take your place
It's a girl from around the way
You show discontent
That's fine, I don't care
You're never happy anyway
You care way too much
About what everyone else thinks
They might have liked you
But then you had to change
*Chorus*
Good times will come
People will change
It could be worse you could be left with nothing
Instead you've got everything you want
You're empty inside
But only you know
You'll have everything
So it will not show
Nothing's ever good enough for you
You say you're giving up?
You say life's too hard?
That's typical for you, you never were very strong
You say it's too hard to try
And things can't get better
Like you're the only one with problems
