Darlin', there's a thing or two, I want to take the time to say
Every moment here with you, puts heaven in my day
I'm mystified by the smile that blossoms on your face
And the magic seems to lift me to a cloud where we embrace
I don't have to dream no more, no
Now I believe in miracles
Your love turned my world around
Heaven bound, heaven bound
Heaven bound, heaven bound, yeah
Oh, I simply must confess, I'm glad to be a girl
You've got to be an angel 'cause you put heaven in my world
Your shadow is my tropic sun and it's summer all year long
Your presence is my paradise how could anything go wrong
Now I'm absolutely sure that you're
All I've been living for, yeah
Your love turned my world around
Heaven bound, heaven, oh yeah

Build your dreams
To the stars above
But when you need someone true to love
Don't go to strangers
Darling, come home to me
Play with fire till your fingers burn
But when there's no place for you to turn
Don't go to strangers
Darling, come home to me
For when you hear a call to follow your heart
You'll follow your heart I know
I've been through it all and I'm an old pro
And I'll understand if you go
So make your mark for your friends to see
But when you need a little more than company
Don't go to strangers
Darling, come home to me
(Piano solo)
So
make your mark for your friends to see
But when you need more than company
Don't go to strangers
In question is how all this came to be
You and me, kinda free, it's destiny
I look around and I like everything I see
Just us three, kinda free, it's destiny
Oh I'd like to know just what it is
That makes some things the way they are
Oh what sets the pace, what is that maze
That gives me wings to fly
Come on lets keep flying baby, sweet baby
(I said) come on let's keep flying baby, sweet baby
We found this place, an endless space
Can't let go, no baby no, it's destiny
Oh, by God's grace there's no other place for me to be
No, don't you go, it's destiny
Oh I'd like to know just what it is
That makes some things the way they are
Oh, what sets the stage, what is that face
Dance wit me ev'rybody dance wit me
Dance wit me ev'rybody dance wit me
Dance wit me ev'rybody dance wit me
Dance wit me ev'rybody dance wit me
If you feel like dancing all night long
Band goin strike it up and play you a party song
If what you feel is real
Then we gon' get down and groove
Love the way you party
Love the way you move

We got this groove and you know that it's here to stay
So if you feel like dancin
Put on your dancin shoes
Love the way you party
I'll ask you once, look in my eyes
Is it gonna work is my advice
Have a little trust in me, I love you
Baby, can't you see? It's a lie and I don't care
Have a little faith it's only fair
That you trust in me I love you
And you'll always be here
A piece of my heart
My peace of mind that's for sure
'Til you close the door to giving to giving
Don't call it quits, it would be a shame
Our little fits would be to blame
I'd give all of me and my precious time
I'm not afraid to give and what's mine is mine
I'll ask you once, look in my eyes
Is it gonna work is my advice
Have a little trust in me I love you
And you'll always be, oh
A piece of my heart
My peace of mind that's for sure
'Til you close the door to giving, to giving
'Til you close the door to giving
Close the door to giving
Close the door to giving
Close the door to giving
Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
Can you feel it? Don't you? Don't you feel it?
Can you feel it? Can't you feel it?
Give me your hand, I'll give you mine
Fire and water mixed up in one sign
My temperature's rising and it's not surprising
When you're close to me, baby so tantalizing
I can't help myself, I get so excited
Why do I act in this fashion?
Why can't I control my passion
Start to freak out
Some call it soul fire, I call it hearts desire
Come on baby, gonna take you higher
I'm gonna give you the warmth
Guaranteed to inspire
When we meet, feel the heat
Ain't it sweet, feel that body heat
When we meet, feel the heat
Ain't it sweet, feel that body heat
When we meet, feel the heat
Ain't it sweet, feel that body heat
When we meet, feel the heat
Ain't it sweet, feel that body heat
I feel your body heat, I feel your body heat, your body heat
I feel your body heat, your body heat, your body heat
I feel your body heat, your body heat, your body heat
I feel your body heat, your body heat, your body heat
Give me your hand, I'll give you mine
Fire and water mixed up in one sign
Oh, I like it, I like it a lot
Come on baby, give it all you got
I'm getting warm, but wait till I get hot
I'm a genie non-fiction
Rub me till you feel my friction
Some call it soul fire, I call it hearts desire
Come on baby, gonna take you higher
I'm gonna give you the warmth
Guaranteed to inspire
When we meet, feel the heat
Ain't it sweet, feel that body heat
I feel your body heat, I feel your body heat
I feel your body heat
When we meet, feel the heat
Ain't it sweet, feel that body heat
I feel your body heat, I feel your body heat
I feel your body heat
When we meet, feel the heat
Ain't it sweet, feel that body heat
I feel your body heat, I feel your body heat
I feel your body heat
Blue love, why'd you have to go and make me sad and blue
Love, you're the only one I gave it to and
You can't believe that I'm dying for you
Can't you see I've been trying for you
I just can't stop this crying for you, ooh-ooh
They say you never know love until somebody leaves you
You never know love until your baby leaves you
You never know love until your loves turns to
Blue love, who could ever think that you would be untrue
Love, I'll do anything you want me to 'cause
You can't believe that I'm trying for you
Can't you see I've been crying for you
I just can't stop this crying for you, oh you
They say you never know love until somebody leaves you
You never know love until your baby leaves you
You never know love until your loves turns to blue
Tony:
I been hanging on such a long, long time
Waiting for the return of your smiling face
Chaka:
And the test and the time that changed every mind can't you see
That my world is an unhappy place
Tony:
Oh this love in my heart is tearing me apart
Chaka:
Need ya here wit me how happy we could be
Tony:
Together
Chaka:
Us forever
They say you never know love until somebody leaves you
You never know love until your baby leaves you
We thought we could do it without love
Kept tellin' ourselves that here's where it ends
Your way is my way and it's shown
Something that we never admit
In changin' the way I was feeling
Only love and joy makes it right
Feel first, and love lasts forever
I'll do it with you if that's what you like
CHORUS:
Better when we do it together
Can't leave it alone
Good things get away
All the other ways we've gone don't matter
Can't leave it alone
Good things get away
Remember when happy was with us
And all his dreams were sung
Such things are forgotten thereafter
'Cause we had to go on with the show
Things, different places, adventure, makin' love
'Cause love was the way
Golden exchange, lots of money
It's not the way you smile that makes me realize
I think I love you
It just might be that all my life I've been searchin? for
Someone just like you
Takin' my time
Everything's fine
I call you by the phone
Nobody's home
We?ve got better days
There'll be better days
We've got better days
Yeah
I don't know why but I wanna cry
Every time you touch me
I?ve givin' up, just can't help it
In your arms is where I'd rather be
I just can't hide it
So I decided to give
Stored away, I've got the strength to live
There'll be better days
We've got better days
There?ll be better days
Yeah
Better days, better days
Don't let them get the best
Of your heart, leave the rest up to love
And you'll be takin' care of
Don't let them get the best
Of your heart, leave the rest up to love
And you'll be takin' care of
Many come to try to tear away your heart
Never carin' for you from the very start
Still you wonder if this time could be real
Tryin' to figure out if they came just to steal
Don't let them get the best
Of your heart, leave the rest up to love
And you'll be takin' care of
Don't let them get the best
Of your heart, leave the rest up to love
And you'll be takin' care of
Time and time again you've listened to a smile
Never knowin' what's behind it all the while
You get yourself away until love is gone
And don't consider that they might be doin' harm
Don't let them get the best
Of your heart, leave the rest up to love
And you'll be takin' care of
Don't let them get the best
Of your heart, leave the rest up to love
And you'll be takin' care of
Hey, there, you let him wipe away that little tear
You tryin so hard to hold back what you really feel
Always look inside the people that you're with
And never hang around those who can not give
Don't let them get the best
Of your heart, leave the rest up to love
And you'll be takin' care of
Don't let them get the best
Of your heart, leave the rest up to love
And you'll be takin' care of
Don't let them get the best
Of your heart, leave the rest up to love
You said you won't
I bet my neck, I bet you will
I'm gonna check my love
You I'm gonna thrill
You can't imagine what you've missed
Can't go on
Meet me at midnight in the light
That starts the love
Since there's was you
I changed my mind about it all
Instead of goin' on, I'm gonna settle for a fall
My love, my love will lift you up, up, up
You came into my life
And now I realize
Today we love, we might
But it is for sure at midnight
Since there's was you
I changed my mind about it all
Instead of goin' on, I'm gonna settle for a fall
My love, my love will lift you up, up, up
You came into my life
And now I realize
Today we love, we might
But it is for sure at midnight
At midnight
At midnight
At midnight
You go out every night as a single
But you don't really know what to do
You see someone that you'd like to mingle
And imagine that she is waiting for you
'Cause any love that you feel is real
Any time that you use love, you lose love
There is no certain crowd that you run with
But your passions, they never run thin
You say, "Hi", they say, "Hi", and it's done with
Still you don't really love from deep within
'Cause any love that you feel is real
Any time that you use love, you lose love
Batted eyes and bitter tears
Price you pay for all the years
Of holding back what's deep inside
And living with a hell of a lot of lies
Any love that you feel is real
Any time that you use love, you lose love
Any love
Any love that you feel is real
Any time that you use love, you lose love
Any love that you feel is real
Any time that you use love, you lose love
Any love that you feel is real
Any time that you use love, you lose love
Any love that you feel is real
Any time that you use love, you lose love
Any love that you feel is real
You do me wrong and still I'm crazy 'bout you
Stay away too long and I can live without you
Every chance you get you seem to hurt me more and more
But each hurt makes my love stronger than before
I know flower grow through rain
But how can love grow through pain
Ain't that peculiar
Peculiarity
Ain't that peculiar
Peculiar as can be
You tell me lies
That you'll be honest to me
But I'm so much in love with baby till I don't want to see
Cause the things you do and say
Are designed to make me blue
It's a doggone shame my love for you
Makes all your lies seem true
If the truth makes love last longer
Why do lies make my love stronger
Ain't that peculiar
Peculiarity
Ain't that peculiar
Peculiar as can be
Hm, I act just like a child that's lost his toy
Can't you see these tears I cry are tears of joy
A child can cry so much until you do everything they say
But unlike a child those tear don't help me to get my way
I know love can last through years
How can love last through tears
Ain't that peculiar
Peculiarity
Ain't that peculiar
Peculiar as can be
Could it be that he's interested
Or am I just wanting it be so
Do I dare speak to him
Or should I let the moment go
Forget this hunger inside
Forget this hunger inside
Should I let the feelin' flow
Should I just let it flow
Ain't nothin' but a maybe ?..
Oh and baby, I sure would like to know
Could it be he's just friendly
And that's nothing to get excited about
On the other hand he could be answering
The good vibrations I'm sendin' out
Well I just don't know
What I really see in
Should I make a move
Or keep on daydreamin'
Ain't nothin' but a maybe
Oh and maybe baby, I sure would like to know
Wanna know ? wanna know ?.
Could it be that he's interested
Or should I let the moment go and
Forget this hunger inside
Forget this hunger inside
Should I let the feelin' flow
Should I just let it flow
Ain't nothin' but a maybe ?..
Oh and baby, I sure would like to know
Repeat
Forget this hunger inside
Forget this hunger inside
Should I let the feelin' flow
Should I just let it flow
Ain't nothin' but a maybe
Captured effortlessly
That's the way it was
Happened so naturally
I did not know it was love
The next thing I felt was
You holding me close
What was I gonna do?
I let myself go
And now we're flyin' through the star
I hope this night will last forever
I've been waitin' for you
It's been so long
I knew just what I would do
When I heard your song
Filled my heart with your bliss
Gave me freedom
You knew I could not resist
I needed someone
And now we're flyin' through the stars
I hope this night will last forever
Oh oh oh oh
CHORUS:
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody
Loves me better than you
I wait for night time to come
And bring you to me
Can't believe I'm the one
I was so lonely
I feel like no one could feel
I must be dreamin'
I want this dream to be real
I need this feelin'
I make my wish upon a star
And hope this night will last forever
CHORUS
And first you put your arms around me
Then you put your charms around me
I can't resist this sweet surrender
Oh my nights are warm and tender
We stare into each other's eyes
And what we see is no surprise
Got a feeling most with treasure
And a love so deep we cannot measure
If I could only shake the hand of time
Cause time has been good to us
Bringin' us closer together
I know our love is of a special kind
A real everlasting love, that keeps getting better and better
CHORUS:
Night after night, night after night, day after day
The closer we get with every minute just tickin' away
Our love has come to see maturity
And from the very day we said hello
I washed out our love for all
One million kisses later
Our love is so much greater
One million kisses after
We share more love than laughter
We've been through a lot together you and I
But time has been good to us
Givin' us so much to treasure
So many tomorrows we have left behind
The future becomes harsh
But this kind of love will last forever
Your smile ? so very happy
You look familiar
Reminds me of somethin' good
I once felt
Thinking something mellow
I dreamed of someone like you
Thinking something mellow
I dreamed of someone like you
Good times, good conversation
I look at myself
Maintained by the completion
Hm? of being stoned
I wanna thank you for being what I needed
I dreamed of someone like you
Thank you for being what I needed
I dreamed of someone like you
Oh, my love has no beginning
And my love it has no end
Always plus and always minus
It never breaks, it never bends
You can shape it any way you want
You can turn it left or right
Cause my love it comes in circles
And it comes in black and white
And the circle remains unbroken
And the circle remains unbroken
Bridge:
Hope my love don't fade away
(in my soul)
Hope my love don't fade away
(I don't want it to)
Hope my love don't fade away
(In my soul)
Hope my love don't fade away
Chorus:
Circles have ups and downs
Don't let them turn you 'round
Round and round
Round and round
Circles, circles
Don't let them bring you down
Round and round
Round and round
There is ice, there's fire
Always winter, always spring
Cause my love is like a zero
It is nothing and everything
Oh, you know it's like the universe
No matter how big or small
It goes on and on forever
It never drops, it never falls
And forever remains unbroken
And forever remains unbroken
Bridge
Chorus
Hey, can you change your ways
Our love is such a treasure
Why do you run away, yeah
From things that give you pleasure
I love you all this time
On and on I've tried
To work it out for the right day
In life you'll learn, you'll see, yeah, yeah
From birth we start to die
Oh, so fast, so near
So little time to try
There's nothing to lose
Nothing to fear
There's so much to know
Then to see the pain it shows
To get what you deserve
To reap what you sow
That's the way it goes
Why can't you change your ways
Why can't you change your ways
Why, why can't you change your ways
Why can't you change your ways
Why can't you change
Why can't you change your ways
Baby, why can't you change
Why can't you change your ways
Why can't you change
Why can't you change your ways
Why can't you change
Why can't you change your ways
Why can't you change
Why can't you change your ways
Why is it I'm always chasin' after you?
Why can't it just be you that chases me?
Look through my eyes can't you see me?
Searchin' with nothin' in sight
Touch with my hands can't you feel me?
Reachin' for you in the night
I been trying hard to keep you satisfied
Can't say I haven't tried? Bet your life
Change all my bitter to sweet love
Change all my darkness to light
Surrender the love you're concealing
My love will make it alright
Look through my eyes can't you see me?
Touch with my hands can't you feel me?
Change all my bitter to sweet love
Make it right
Baby I'm in love and I just can't stand beside
My love won't compromise or be denied
Look through my eyes can't you see me?
Searchin' with nothin' in sight
Touch with my hands can't you feel me?
Reachin' for you in the night
Change all my bitter to sweet love
Change all my darkness to light
Surrender the love you're concealing
My love will make it alright
Look through my eyes can't you see me?
Searchin' with nothin' in sight
Touch with my hands can't you feel me?
Tell me now don't you let me down
It's too confusing, but it's really sound
And the expression on your face lets me know
But it's alright 'cause it's your show
And recalling once again, there's one and forty roads that have no end
If there were only places where we could agree
I'd buy them all for you and me
Chorus:
It's as impossible as anything you see
Like pickin' cherries from a lusty lemon tree
If I could only walk upon the dark blue waters of the sea
There's no tellin' what I'd do for you and me
Guiding angel do your best for me
'cause I'm feeling that it's hopelessly
I hear from people tellin' him to say to me
The time for us will never be
Chorus:
It's as impossible as anything you see
Like pickin' cherries from a lusty lemon tree
If I could only walk upon the dark blue waters of the sea
There's no tellin' what I'd do for you and me
And the expression on your face lets me know
But it's alright 'cause it's your show
Chorus:
It's as impossible as anything you see
Like pickin' cherries from a lusty lemon tree
If I could only walk upon the dark blue waters of the sea
The Motion Waltz (Emotional Commotion)
Waiting to cross the rubicon
Wondering what side I'm on
What are these visions of me as a young man?
With one arm pointed, and the other arm holding your hand
Needing a plan to keep you near
Blowing a horn, so you can hear
If it was only my love and devotion
This world would suddenly be in a state of commotion
Emotional commotion, emotional commotion
Emotional commotion, emotional motion
I never get around under the sun and the stars
And I may be always frowning
But wonder you will see, under the sun and the stars
You will turn around and I'll be emotion
Emotional commotion, emotional commotion
Emotional commotion, emotional commotion
Things have been goin' wrong long enough to know
Everything is right
Been walkin' in the dark long enough to know
Finally seen the light
Been losin' long enough to know
When I've finally won
And even a blind man can tell
When he's walkin' in the sun
I've cried enough tears to know
This feeling's called a smile
I've been bottom rung long enough to know
When I'm doin' it in style
Been run long to know
There's no more need to run
And even a blind man can tell
When he's walkin' in the sun
Oh, the wind is at my back
And I'm sailin' on a ship that's overdue
Well, I've blown so many chances
I ain't gonna blow this one with you
Seen enough bad times to know
Good times have begun
And even a blind man can tell
When he's walkin' in the sun
Even a blind man can tell
When he's walkin' in the sun
In the sun
In the sun
Love me right
What's the matter with you
Hold me tight
Why must I tell you what to do
Smilin', smilin'
Comes as no surprise
Smile ain't hidin'
What I see in your eyes
The story goes much deeper
Than the eye can see, yes it do
Stop runnin' a game
I can tell you're avoiding me
Oh ain't nothin'
I wouldn't pay
Just to hear, hear you say
I love you I need you
Love me right
What's the matter with you
Hold me tight
Why must I tell you what to do
Smilin', smilin'
Comes as no surprise
Smile ain't hidin'
What I see in your eyes
You got the love
Gimme the strength
To keep on livin'
Whatever it is
I can't do without whacha givin'
Oh ain't nothin'
I wouldn't pay
Just to hear, hear you say
I love you I need you
You got the love
Gimme the strength
To keep on livin' yeah
Whatever it is
I can't do without
I don't want see you tomorrow
If I can't see you today
You've been puttin' me off for so long
I got the feelin' something's wrong
Chorus:
Whoever is thrilling you is killing me
I haven't seen you in so long
Right now your just a voice on my telephone
You say you'd see me tomorrow
But my tomorrow's are filled with sorrow
Chorus:
Whoever is thrilling you is killing me
Put all my faith in you
You see the girls growin' numb
I don't even know where you're calling from
You got me in a state of confusion
I need a love transfusion
Chorus:
When your groove comes down on you
You can do what you wanna do
When your groove comes down on you
You can do what you wanna do
There's a lot of dancin' going round
You tried them all and put some down
Everybody's got their own way of movin'

Walk on, walk the rockway
Walk on, walk the rockway
Walk on, walk the rockway
Walk on, walk the rockway
When your groove comes down on you

It's a dance, if you wanna dance, walk on the rockway
Turn, turn, turn

Turn, turn, turn
Turn, turn, turn
Turn, turn, turn
Bring on all the seasons
Repeat your earlier deeds
Show the children your face
Most of all teach them to
Turn, turn, turn
(For the better)
Turn, turn, turn
Turn, turn, turn
Turn, turn, turn
Bring on all the colors
Don't let me forget for a moment
What I have to do
It's all so necessary for you to
Turn, turn, turn
Turn, turn, turn
(For the better)
We will rehearse long and hard
For the big celebration
Spread the leaders among us
Like the heat's in the sun
Like the blue is in the sky
Like the peace in the eyes
Of the believers of God
Turn, turn, turn
(Turn it around)
Turn, turn, turn
Well, if there's a will, there's a way
If we're strong, it will pay
Look at the babies all around us
Like the moon in the night
Like a bird takin' flight
Though this world is not right
We got to show them the way
Turn, turn, turn
Turn, turn, turn

'Round and 'round

Turn, turn, turn
Turn, turn, turn
Turn, turn, turn
I wish I had a little more command
You're the person that I'd display
And if I didn't seem so crazy
You'd might like me better that way
Seems that nothing's coming up for better
May I suggest me something to you
Worry wont lead to change
Cause I know something better to do
Wont you
Try a little understanding baby
Try to understand me
Try a little understanding baby
Try to understand me
I admit that I am living in the past
'cause' I like it that way
But the happiness I know of giving
Equalize or I'd go insane
Now I know that I may have cause some sorrow
Will nothing cause I'm living that way
So before you reach any conclusions
Or judge me in a negative way
Wont you
Try a little understanding baby
Try to understand me
Try a little understanding baby
Try to understand me
I know that this may sound crazy
Unconscience and it's insanity (?)
This is for the record
But you don't have to worry 'bout me
Try a little understanding baby
Try to understand me
Try a little understanding baby
Try to understand me
Try, try, try, try
When you try and look inside
Your lover's lovely eyes
And you're not sure of what you're seein'
And you're thinkin' all the time
Of the tings you should have said and done
And what it all could really mean
Remember that ...
CHORUS:
True love never looks back on heartache
True love never looks back on sorrow
True love only looks to tomorrow
True love never fades
When you're lookin' for some lies
To build a new disguise
So you can run away again
Usin' anger as a fuel
You go breakin' every rule in sight
Thinkin' that this might be the end
Remember that ...
CHORUS
Is there really any wonder why you're feelin this way
Livin' with a dream can cut just like a knife
Is there really any wonder why you're lonely today
When you're givin' up livin' up your live
Remember that ...
Pick apart
The pieces of your heart
Let me peer inside
Let me in
Where only your thoughts have been
Let me occupy your mind
As you do mine
You have lost
(Too much sorrow)
To fear doubt and destroy
You just threw away the key
Don't get burnt
(Nothing gets strong)
It makes it easier
And much more difficult for me
To make you see
Love aint fair
So there you are
My love
Your heart deserves
You won't let me do it
It makes no sense
But this will still connect
Will you come here my dear
You come here my
Your heart deserves
You wont let me do it
It makes no sense
But this will still connect
Will you come here my dearest
Your heart deserves
Will you
Your heart deserves
Will you come here love
Your haunting us
You wont let me do it
It makes no sense
But this will still connect
You ain't got no kind of feeling inside
I got something that'll sho nuff set yo' stuff on fire
You refuse to put anything before your pride
What I got will knock your pride aside
CHORUS:
Tell me something good
Tell me that you like it, yeah
Tell me something good
Tell that you love me, yeah
Got no time is what you're known to say
(Got no time, no, got no time)
I'll make you wish there was 48 hours to each day
Your problem is you ain't been loved like you should
Swing down, sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride
Swing down, sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me, ma, rock me, pa
Coming easy
I got to hold on the other side
Swing down, sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride

Don't you hear me talking baby? Love me now or I'll go crazy
Oh, sweet thing
Don't you know you're my everything?
Oh, sweet thing
Don't you know you're my everything?
Yes, you are
I wish you were my lover but ya act so undercover
To love you child my whole life long be it right, or be it wrong
I'm only what you make me, baby don't walk away, don't be so shady
Don't want your mind, don't want your money
These words I say, they may sound funny, but
Oh, sweet thing
Don't you know you're my everything?
Oh, sweet thing
Don't you know you're my everything?
Yes, you are
You are my heat, you are my fire
You make me weak with strong desire
To love you child my whole life long be it right, or be it wrong
I just want to satisfy ya though you're not mine I can't deny ya
Don't you hear me talking baby? Love me now or I'll go crazy
You're my heat, you are my fire, you're not mine, I can't deny ya

You're my heat, you are my fire, you're not mine, I can't deny ya
Don't you hear me talking, baby? Love me now, or I'll go crazy
You're my heat, you are my fire, you're not mine, I can't deny ya
I'd never forget those nameless years
Street sounds whirling through my mind
Trouble was often in the air
So we thought to forget our despair
Cause I'm a street player
And I play you a song (Play me a song, play me a song)
Cause my heart and soul
Will carry, carry on
City life's the only way
Street corners and billiard halls
Was my home away
Lesson's learned that still help me today
Cause I'm a street player
And I've seen it all (play me a song, play me a song)
Hit men and thieves and many a brawl
But as you will see I still stand tall
It was such a small space and time
I would never knew that I would find
A musical past for all to see exciety to ecstasy
I am a streetplayer
I am a streetplayer
I am a streetplayer
Cause I'm a street player
And I've seen it all (play me a song, play me a song)
...........................

The people love your soul
Don't let them down
Play your guitar
Take me and I need it now
Shake me to love somehow
I need warm embraces, yes, I do
I need smiling faces to look into
I know that time erases the wounds of man
Love is not all I crave
I know there's a world to save
But I've always done my best
And I think, I've passed every test
But there's something about a brand new heart
Send me a stranger to love
(Stranger)
I need a stranger to love
(Stranger)
Send me a stranger to love
(Stranger)
So I can leave my past behind
(My past behind, my past behind, my past behind)
Hmm, my past, my past behind
I know that love may not come
But if I can dream like everyone
I'd dream the warming feelin' of an early spring
I'd dream the magic elation a touch can bring
I wanna capture the feelin' of a newborn heart
Send me a stranger to love
(Stranger)
Send me a stranger to love
(Stranger)
I need a stranger to love
(Stranger)
So I can leave my past behind
(My past behind, my past behind)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, my past behind
(My past behind)
Send me a stranger to love
(Stranger)
I wanna stranger to love, yeah
(Stranger)
Send me a stranger to love
(Stranger)
So I can leave my past, wanna throw it out the door
(My past behind, my past behind)
Ooh, ooh, baby, baby, my baby, yeah
(My past behind, my past behind)
My past behind
(My past behind, my past behind)
[Incomprehensible]
(My past behind, my past behind)
[Incomprehensible]
You're welcome, stop on by
You know I'll be there baby
To dry your eyes
Though I get tired, yeah of bein' that second guy
Don't be no fool baby, you 'bout to lose your old standby
Is the material things that he's givin'?
Can you truly say that you're happy livin'?
I'm the one that's givin'
Boy, I don't want to hurt your feelings
Stop on, stop on, stop on, stop on by
You're welcome, stop on by
One day, one day, one day, one day
I might be the one to make you cry
Don't take for granted
I'll always be there
Cause there's somebody somewhere, yeah
That can truly need me
Is the material things that he's givin'?
Can you truly say that you're happy livin'?
I'm the one that's givin'
Boy, I don't want to hurt your feelings
Please stay with me now, don't you let me go
I'll make it somehow, I got to let you know
That I'll make it somehow, some way
Though I'm waitin' on the day
What I'm doing's gotta pay
Some way, somehow
My baby, when he cries
It's 'cause something's on his mind
This world is full of lies
You and me are one of a kind
The good Lord will stand behind every step
We are blind to fate
That's life, that's life
Stay, stay, stay, stay
(Won't you please)
Stay, stay, stay, stay
It fits but you can't make it work
Where there's pain, there's got to be hurt
And the green grass grows from the dirt
Yeah, that's a fact of life, oh, I'm right
The good Lord stand behind of every step
We are blind to fate
That's life, that's life
Stay, oh won't you please
Stay, stay
(Won't you)
Stay, stay, stay, stay
Stay, stay, stay, stay
Stay, stay
Stay, stay
Stay, stay
You're now aware of your situation
You wasted time with contemplation
Instead of trying to be so cool my friend
Understand this way you'll never win
You say it's darkest just before the dawn
You get discouraged if it takes too long
Common sense will tell you right from wrong
My advice is that you carry on
Don't get me wrong, there's more to life than gold
There are fortunes here that can't be bought or sold
But your diamonds lie within your soul
You can't count your cash 6 feet under, stiff and cold, cold
Somebody's watching, somebody's watching you
Somebody's watching, yes I know it's true
Somebody's watching, somebody's watching you
Somebody's watching, saw ya, saw ya, saw ya, saw ya
You say it's darkest is just before the dawn
You get discouraged if it takes too long
Common sense will tell you right from wrong
My advice is that you carry on
Don't get me wrong, there's more to life than gold
There are fortunes here that can't be bought or sold
But your diamonds lie within your soul
You can't count your cash 6 feet under, stiff and cold, cold, cold
Somebody's watching, somebody's watching you
Somebody's watching, yes I know it's true
Somebody's watching, somebody's watching you
Somebody's watching, saw ya, saw ya, saw ya, saw ya
Somebody's watching, somebody's watching you
Somebody's watching, yes I know it's true
Somebody's watching, somebody's watching you
Somebody's watching, saw ya, saw ya, saw ya, saw ya
Somebody's watching, somebody's watching you
Somebody's watching, yes I know it's true
Somebody's watching, somebody's watching you
Here we are alone in this old smokin' room again
If your highness is your pleasure, it's alright
'Cause there's an extra added goodness in my heart for you tonight
If there's any such a thing as God, He must be here tonight
Ain't sayin' I'm right, ain't sayin' I'm wrong
Ain't sayin' there's any such a thing as short or long
It seems you've been here many times before, it's too beautiful but true
And I'm glad I got the chance tonight to share my now with you
I used to be locked in a closet and I couldn't find the key
Used to be you'd look my way, but not see me
But it's happiness to know that from yourself you cannot hide
And that here's where I am and it's you that's by my side
Ain't sayin' I'm right, ain't sayin' I'm wrong
Ain't sayin' there's any such a thing as short or long
Seems we've been here many times before, it's too beautiful but true
I'm so glad I got the chance tonight, to share my now
Share my now, oh baby, baby, oh yeah
So glad I gotcha spend some time
Spend some time, I'm glad I gotcha baby
So glad I gotcha spend some time
Spend some time, I'm glad I gotcha baby
So glad I gotcha share my life
Share my life, I'm glad I gotcha baby
So glad I gotcha share my life
Share my life, I'm glad I gotcha baby
Love you baby, just love you baby
Band gonna play that rock 'n roll
Sound of the music gonna groove your soul
Band gonna do that slip 'n slide
Sound of the music gonna get you high
Now if you dig Chuck Berry and your head's into rock 'n roll
Come on down the road a piece
The cats are gonna burn your soul
Chorus:
And they all was a reelin'
Well they all was a rockin'
The place was blown sky high
Grandpa's sittin' in the corner
Mixin' his rock with rye
Now if you dig the dixieland and your heart's into rhythm and blues
Come on down the road a piece
The cats are gonna break the news
Chorus:
And they all was a reelin'
They all was a rockin'
The bass man drives it on home
Now if you dig the dixieland
Listen to that slide trombone
If you think I'm a bit old-fashioned
And you want to maintain your cool
The rhythm of the music is guaranteed
To make you out a fool
Chorus:
And they all was a slippin'
They all was a slidin'
The place was blown sky high
Now if you dig the boogie
The cats will blow your mind
Band gonna play that rock 'n roll
Sound of the music gonna groove your soul
Band gonna do that slip 'n slide
Sound of the music gonna get you high
slip 'n slide
slip 'n slide
Take it from me, I've had the experience
Finding the right love ain't easy to do
I've been looking and looking and searching around since
Nature started teching me just what to do
I can feel it bubbling up
All this love needs somewhere to live
Come and take a drink from my cup
I have a heart with so much to give
All the love is here so take it
Darlin' you know we can make it
CHORUS:
I knew the minute I saw you
You were the one who'd be
Sharin' the love
I have the feeling inside me
You'll be beside me
Sharin' the love
I never believed in love at first sight
it's a foolish dreamer's fantasy
But one look at you showed me the light
And made a foolish dreamer of me
I can feel it bubbling up
All this love needs somewhere to live
Come and take a drink from my cup
I have a heart with so much to give
All the love is here so take it
It would be a sin to waste it
CHORUS:
Do ya, do ya have a secret friend
Playin' around, hangin' out again
Your love has been like a stranger
Your love is hiding behind a closed door
You're an ace at using deception
'Cause you don't want to let me go
CHORUS
Be ashamed to lose good lovin'
Chasin' dreams in the night the way we do
There's no way, you got to be honest
I'll do anything to make it right for you
CHORUS
Can't you see it's just an attraction
He can feed you lies so easily
I can't wait forever
Girl, let me go or come to me
Tell me ...
In a messed up world
Filled with mixed up people
Searching for a happy time
It makes me feel so good
Just to have a situation
Where you love me and I know that I'm...
Chorus:
I'm so satisfied
I'm so satisfied
Man don't you understand your love
Made me smile again
And I'm so satisfied
Oh there are those who want the world
While those who have it want to throw it away
But of all the things there are, love's the most important
So believe me baby when I say
Chorus:
I'm so satisfied
I'm so satisfied
Man don't you understand your love
Made me smile again
Running to the fight
Stealing in the night
Like a dog to the bite
Everything in sight
Give me love, you say
There's a price you gotta pay
Momma's life you cannot play
Make things right you need to be saying
Right is right
Wrong is wrong
Right is right
Wrong is wrong
Fist comes down
Blood on the ground
Momma's cryin'
"Lord, have mercy!"
Mercy's hard to find
It's just a state of mind
Drop the slack, get out the way
We don't have another day
Right is right
Wrong is wrong
Right is right
Wrong is wrong
Said he's comin' by five, my friend
And I desire to live again
If you hear me, let me know
Woh woh woh woh, no, yeah
Running to the fight
Stealin' in the night
A dog to bite
Everything in sight
Give me love, you say
There's a price you gotta pay
Momma's life you cannot play
Make things right you need to say
Right is right
Wrong is wrong
Right is right
(I mean it, I)
Wrong is wrong
(Sing the song)
Said he's comin' by five, my friend
And I desire to live again
If you hear me, let me know
The world is full of woe, my God, God, yeah
Right is right
Wrong is wrong
Right is right
Wrong is wrong
Right is right
Wrong is wrong
Right is right
I've seen you happy
I've seen you low
I've watched your prosper
I've watched your grow
But you're so unhappy
And you should know
That you need me now
You've got your money
You've got your pride
You're so cute, you're so funny
And you can't hide
But there's something wrong here
But I'm on your side
And you need me now
CHORUS:
You're aching
There's no mistaking
I've seen it before
You're faking
Your heart is breaking
Get off the floor
I hope there's something you let me do
I live and love because of you
And I set my sights with you in view
So let's make a vow
You live in a quandary
You're blessed and cursed
They say they love you
But I saw you first
And you think you could love me
But you're unrehearsed
So I'll show you how
CHORUS
You hur inside
You can't hide
It's all up to you
You hurt inside
You lost all your pride
Please pardon me, but I'm longing to speak
I hope you don't mind my staring
I don't mind, cause your face looks so kind
Seldom you'll find someone so daring
You remind me of a friend of mine
Ooh, I've lost (the) time, yeah
Everytime I see your face
You remind me of that someone
In fact, it's true, it's you
Runnin' right into you
I hope you don't mind, you look like a friend of mine
And it's seldom you find a face that's so kind
I hope you don't mind, you look like a friend of mine
And it's seldom you find a face that's so kind
Please pardon me, but I'm all into spirit
I hope you don't mind my starin'
I don't mind, cause your face looks so kind
Seldom you'll find someone so daring
Everytime I see your face
You remind me of that someone
In fact, it was you
im formin circles in my mind
waitin for the storm to come
im waiting for the air to paralyse
im chasin shadows every night
waiting for a call to come
im waiting for an answer on the run
im formin circles in my mind
waitin for the storm to come
im waiting for the air to paralyse
paris collides

of your love across the horizon
paris collides
feel the light
of your love across the horizon
im formin circles in my mind
waitin for the storm to come
im waiting for the air to paralyse
paris collides (im formin circles in my mind)

I can tell by the look that's in your eyes
And I'm not surprised
You got to move on like the sun got to rise
I'm just holdin' you down
But the universe is calling you
You are one of chosen fews
You got to pay your dues
Me and the baby gonna miss you
I see your smile in her face
I only wish we were with you now
It's a lonely, lonely place
But the universe is calling you
You are one of chosen fews
You got to pay your dues
Hey, pack'd my bags, put 'em at the door
Hey, pack'd my bags, put 'em at the door
Hey, pack'd my bags, put 'em at the door

Come like thieves in the night
Oh, don't let them rearrange you, boy
You've got to do what's right
But the universe is calling you
You are one of chosen fews
You got to pay your dues
Hey, pack'd my bags, put 'em at the door

No no no no no no no no no no
Oh you, you've got to make it
You've got to make it, boy
I refuse to be amused

When I'm with you, I'm really with you
But right now I'm by myself and I

As strong as life itself
I, I can feel this fire, such a strange desire
And I don't want nothin' else but ooh I like your lovin'

Executin' dreams ain't easy, justa wastin' precious time
Talk is cheap, your words are weak
I don't want you wastin' mine
I hear ya callin', no I'm not stallin'
I'm justa doin' sumthin' else
When we're together, show 'nuff together
Right now I'm by myself and I
