Who's the black private dick
That's a sex machine to all the chicks?
Shaft, ya, damn right
Who is the man that would risk his neck
For his brother man?
Shaft, can you dig it?
Who's the cat that won't cop out
When there's danger all about?
Shaft, right on
They say this cat Shaft is a bad mother
Shut your mouth
But I'm talkin' 'bout Shaft
Then we can dig it
He's a complicated man
But no one understands him but his woman
This is my same old coat
And my same old shoes
I was the same old me
With the same old blues
And then you touched my life
Just by holding my hand
And oh I look in the mirror and see
A brand new girl, a brand new voice
And a brand new smile
Boy since I found you
I've got a brand new style
Just because of you boy
Just because of you
I've got the same old friends
They got the same old
I tell the same old jokes
Get the same old grins
Now the joke's on you
It happened somehow with you
Every day of my life is as fresh as morning dew
And you know I love you boy
I go to the same old places
To see the same old faces
Look at the same old skies
See them all with brand new lives
You get all the credit baby
Why do birds suddenly apear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
On the day that you were born
And the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust
In your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue.
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe her now
Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don't need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
Don't want to leave her now
You know I believe her now
You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around now it may show
I don't know, I don't know
Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me
Don't want to leave her now
(Welllllllllll, I ain't never
I ain't never
A-seen nobody like you
No no no)
Never, have I ever
(A-seen nobody like you)
(You call me up to say you'll meet me at nine
I have to hurry hurry that I'm there on time
I walk right up and knock on your door
The landlord says she ain't here no more)
(I ain't never), oh darling
(A-seen nobody like you)
Boo-hoo but I love you
Yeah I love you
(I love you just the same)
(You tell me sweet things that you don't mean
You got me a-livin' in a honey dream
You make me do things I don't wanna do)
My friends'll say, "Webb what's wrong with you?"
(I ain't never), oh darling
(A-seen nobody like you)
Boo-hoo but I love you
Yeah I love you
(I love you just the same
I love you just the same
It's wonderful to be in love with you
It's so nice to know that you love me too
It seems like heaven is smiling at me
The first time I saw your face
This hunger started growing in me
And those lips of yours, I just had to taste
Now that was the birth of our love affair
And since then it's grown a thousand times
You're the sweetest thing that love can bring
And I'm so glad that you're mine
And it's wonderful to be in love with you, oh, yes it is
It's so nice to know that you love me too
No one in this world is perfect
But you're the closest to perfection as one can be
You are my inspiration
You're the other half that makes the whole of me
Compliments to you from all the people who know
Is how you brighten up my world
And you keep it bright, every day and night
You are just quite a girl
It's wonderful to be in love with you, oh, yes, it is, yes, it is
It's so nice to know that you love me too
Baby, ooh baby, I wouldn't leave you if I could
Mama, ooh mama, your love is so doggone good, so good
And everyday is gonna be that way
Just as long as I'm your man
It's wonderful to be in love with you, yes it is
When I fall in love it will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before its begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
When I give my heart it will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you.
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
My friends feel it's their appointed duty
They keep trying to tell me
All you want to do is use me
Ha, ha, but my answer, ha, ha
Yeah, to all that use me stuff
Is I wanna spread the news
That if it feels this good getting used
Oh, you just keep on using me
Until you use me up
Until you use me up
My brother, sit me right down
And he talked to me, ah-ha
He told me, ah-ha
That I ought not to let you just walk on me
And I'm sure he meant well
Yeah, but when our talk was through
I-I-I said brother, if you only knew
You'd wish that you were in my shoes
You just keep on using me
Until you use me up
Until you use me up
Oh sometimes, it's true you really do abuse me
You get in a crowd of high class people
And then you act real rude to me
But oh baby, baby, baby, baby
When you love me I can't get enough
I-I and I, wanna spread the news
That if it feels this good getting used
Oh, you just keep on using me
Until you use me up
Until you use me up
Talking about you using me
But it all depends on what you do
It ain't too bad the way you're using me
'Cause I sure am using you
To do the things you do
Thanks for the times
That you've given me
The memories are all in my mind
And now that we've come
To the end of our rainbow
There's something
I must say out loud
You're once, twice
Three times a lady
Yes you're once twice
Three times a lady
And I love you
When we are together
The moments I cherish
With every beat of my heart
To touch you to hold you
To feel you to need you
There's nothing to keep us apart
You're once twice
Three times a lady
And I love you
Alone again, at last again
Please let love have its way
Don?t let the waiting, anticipating
Be all in vain
Be good to me ?cause I?m gonna be
As good as I can be to you
Baby, oh baby, I need you
I swear I do
No other women can love me
Oh, like you do
You?re the best thing
That ever happened to this man
And I?m gonna keep on loving you
Just as long as I can
I love you, I love you
One night alone is too long alone
When one?s been loved by you
It?s so good to touch
When I?ve missed so much
This thrills been long overdue
The love you give is the reason I live
You?re food to this hungry, so are mine
If satisfaction was money
I?d be the worlds richest man
?Cause you give me such good lovin?
Just as much as I can stand
When we?re together
If it?s a hundred years from today
Through sunshine and stormy weather
You?ll still hear me say
I love you, I love you
You?re in my arms again
Where you should have been
You?re in my arms again
The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the endless skies, my love
And the first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love
And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
The first time ever I saw your face
Take my hand
I'm a stranger in paradise
All lost in a wonderland
A stranger in paradise
If I stand starry-eyed
That's the danger in paradise
For mortals who stand beside an angel like you
I saw your face and I ascended
Out of the commonplace into the rare
Somewhere in space I hang suspended
Until I know there's a chance that you care
Won't you answer this fervent prayer
Of a stranger in paradise
Don't send me in dark despair
From all that I hunger for
But open your angel's arms
To this stranger in paradise
And tell him that he need be
A stranger no more
They call it stormy Monday, but Tuesday's just as bad
They call it stormy Monday, but Tuesday's just as bad
Wednesday's worse, and Thursday's also sad
Yes, the eagle flies on Friday, and Saturday I go out to
play
Eagle flies on Friday, and Saturday I go out to play
Sunday I go to church, then I kneel down and pray
Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy, my heart's in misery
The look of love
Is in your eyes
The look your smile cant disguise
The look of love
Is saying so much more
Than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard
Well it takes my breath away
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Youve got the look of love
Its on your face
A look that time cant erase
Be mine tonight
Let this be just the start
Of so many nights like this
Lets take a lovers vow
And then seal it with a kiss
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Dont ever go
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Dont ever go
Dont ever go
Black man, born free
At least that's the way it's supposed to be
Chains that binds him are hard to see
Unless you take this walk with me
Place where he lives is God plenty of names
Slums, ghetto and black belt, they are one and the same
And I call it ?Soulsville"
Any kind of job is hard to find
That means an increase in the welfare line
Crime rate is rising too
If you are hungry, what would you do?
Rent is two months past due and the building that's falling apart
Little boy needs a pair of shoes and this is only a part of Soulsville
Some of the brothers' got plenty of cash
Tricks on the corner, gonna see to that
Some like to smoke and some like to blow
Some are even strung out on a fifty dollar Jones
Some are trying to ditch reality by getting so high
Only to find out you can never touch the sky
'Cause your hoods are in Soulsville, oh yeah
Every Sunday morning, I can hear the old sisters say
?Hallelujah, Hallelujah, trust in the Lord to make a way, oh yeah
I hope that He hear their prayers 'cause deep in their souls they believe
Someday He'll put an end to all this misery that we have in Soulsville
Rock me baby, rock me all night long
Rock me baby, honey, rock me all night long
I want you to rock me baby, like my back ain't got no
bone
Roll me baby, like you roll a wagon wheel
I want you to roll me baby, like you roll a wagon wheel
Want you to roll me baby, you don't know how it makes me
feel
Rock me baby, honey, rock me slow
Yeah, rock me pretty baby, baby rock me slow
Our day will come
And we'll have everything.
We'll share the joy
Falling in love can bring.
No one can tell me
That I'm too young to know (young to know)
I love you so (love you so)
And you love me.
Our day will come
If we just wait a while.
No tears for us -
Think love and wear a smile.
Our dreams have magic
Because we'll always stay
In love this way
Our day will come.
(Our day will come; our day will come.)
[Break]
Our dreams have magic
Because we'll always stay
In love this way.
Our day will come.
Sure you haven't got the wrong number
You sure its me you wanna talk to tonight?
Everyone in town's got your number
Everybody's got you pegged right
Is that why yu got in touch with me?
I guess you must be runnin' out of fools
When you went and left me there crying
Your goodbye was even colder than ice
It didn't bother you I was crying
And now you wanna break my heart twice
Is that why you got in touch with me?
I guess you must be runnin' out of fools
Guess you got back (guess you got)
To my name
In your little black book
Well, listen
Tell you what (tell you what)
Bet you forgot (you forgot)
How I even look
So go ahead with all your sweet talking
Go ahead for all the good it can do
Have yourself a dime's worth of talking
And then I'm gonna hang right up on you
'Cause this time, you're not
You're not getting through to me
I guess you must be runnin' out of fools
Even fools like me
Even fools like me
I said you're running out of fools
You know I got to find me
People, I got to find me, a part time love
Oh, I need, I need me a part time love
Every time, every time my baby leaves me
You know I need a part time love
The people in the cemetery, they're not all alone
Some turn to dust and some have bone
You know I'd rather be dead, six feet in the grave
Than to live lonely, each and everyday
I need me
I need me a part time love
Every time my woman leaves me
You know I need a part time love
She came home this morning
I asked her where she'd been
She said, "Don't ask me no questions, baby
'Cause I'll be leaving again"
I've got to find me
Don't you see, I've got to find me
A part time love, my baby leaves me
I need a part time love, yes, I do
Oh every time my woman leaves me
Have to suffer the whole time, she's gone
I got to say it again when she leaves me
I suffer every time, she's gone
When she leaves me
I just got to have me a part time love
Is there somebody out there?
Oh I need, I need me a part time love
Can't say it too much
Never can say goodbye
No no no no
Never can say goodbye
Even though the pain and heartache
Seems to follow me wherever I go
Though I try and try to hide my feelings
They always seem to show
Then you try to say you're leaving me
And I always have to say no
Tell me why is it so
That I never can say goodbye
No no no no
Never can say goodbye
Every time I think I've had enough
I start heading for the door
There's a very strange vibration
Piercin' me right to the core
It says, "Turn around you fool
You know, you love her more and more"
Tell me why is it so
Don't wanna let you go
I never can say goodbye girl
Ooh ooh baby
I never can say goodbye
No no no, no no no
Ooh oh
I never can say goodbye girl
Ooh ooh
I never can say goodbye
No no no, no no no, ooh
Never can say goodbye
No, no, no no
I never can say goodbye
I keep thinkin' that our problems
Soon are all gonna work out
But there's that same unhappy feeling
And there's that anguish, there's that doubt
It's the same old did ya hang up
Can't do with you or without
Tell me why is it so
Don't wanna let you go
I never can say goodbye girl
Ooh ooh baby
I never can say goodbye
No no no, no no no, ooh
Oh, I never can say you goodbye girl
I never can say you goodbye
No no no, no no no ooh
I never can say goodbye girl
Ooh ooh baby
I never can say goodbye
No no no, no no no, ooh, ooh
I never can say goodbye girl
I moved your picture
From my walls
And I replaced them
Both large and small
And each new day
Finds me so blue
Nothing
Takes the place of you
I read your letters one by one
And I still love you
When it's all said and done
And oh, my darling, I'm so blue
Because nothing
Oh nothing
Takes the place of you
I, I write this letter
It's raining on my window pane
I, I feel the need of you
Because without you
Nothing seems the same
So I'll wait
Until you're home
Again I love you
But I'm all alone
And oh my darling
I'm so blue
Because nothing
You know Kathie Lee, you are a very special woman.
I don't mean special in a Mary Tyler-Moore way...
Or an extra-value meal at Happy Burger way... no, I
mean SPECIAL... Like... The song of the hummingbird as
it gets ready to find that female
hummingbird, and -- make sweet love to it -- all night
long. Just two hummingbirds moaning' and groanin' and
letting their
bodies caress and touch each other in ecstasy...
Slowly, the male hummingbird gets behind the female
hummingbird, and eases
his way into her golden valley, gliding gently in and
out, in and out, ooh, in and out. Two hummingbirds
doin' it doggy style all
night long. Until finally the male hummingbird screams
with passion and lets his little humming gravy fly all
over the nest. And it
makes me wanna... it makes me wanna sing this special
song for you, yeah, baby, yeah mama.
Ooh Kathie Lee, you're such a special woman to me,
How I'd love to lay you down
And lick every inch of your body
With my tongue
Kathie Lee, you're my sexual fantasy
How 'bout you and me?
Get it together and make sweet love...
'Cause nobody can take your place
No way they can match your face,
No, you got it goin' on in a way so clear
I just wanna buy you a beer
I thought maybe tonight at seven thirty or seven, I
could come by and
Pick you up in my car
(No substitute) No substitute for you
(No substitute)
No baby there's (no substitute) for your girl
(No substitute) for you now
I know you love my body so much
It's something you can't help but touch, ooh
I might let you if you promise to be gentle,
Now I'm gettin' all sentimental
Maybe tonight after pickin' you up in my car we can
park down over by the gas
station that closed two weeks ago and make love in the
back seat and...
Drop you off at home
(No substitute) No substitute for you
(No substitute) No baby there's
(No substitute) Come on baby say it
(No substitute) For you now
Now you remember our two hummingbirds. Well after their
night of passion, the male hummingbird couldn't sleep
or eat. All he
could think about was that incredible night when things
were flyin' all over the place and beaks were where
they should be. So
he put his beak lips together and whistled a song.
Calling that female hummingbird back for another night
of fire. Just like I'm
calling out for you, baby. Hey, get your ass over here
for some good lovin'.
There's only one word that can describe you,
You're a flippityfloppityhootchymamawoowoo
You've got everything I ever wanted
My metaphor's all been exhausted
So what say you and I forget about this singin' and
songin' and act like a couple
of hummingbirds ourselves...
And get down to some business
(No substitute) No substitute for you
(No, no, no substitute)
No baby there's (no substitute) for you girl
(No substitute) for you girl (no substitute)
For you (no, no, no, no, no, no substitute)
For you girl
Ladies and gentlemen, the Fabulous Chefettes
(No) no (no) subs (subs) sti (tute) for (you)
Ba (by) no (no) no no no (no) for you yeah,
Don't you ever take your love away
I need your loving more than roses need the rain
Don't you ever take your love away
It would only break my heart and I couldn't stand the pain
The love we share keeps us together, and
Everyday it grows a little more
If I'd ever lost this heaven girl
I would lose all the things that I've been living for
[chorus]
You're such sweet anticipation
A love fulfillment's all my every need
Everyday's a lover's vacation
I don't want to wake up from this wonderful dream
[chorus]
Rainy days or sunny weather
It doesn't matter as long as I got you
Oh lover let's stay together
'Cause I don't want to lose this groove that we're into
You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah
The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah
You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
I wanna come back
'Coz I like it like that
Your modus operandi
Is really all right, out of sight
Your sweet phalanges
Know how to squeeze
My gastronomical stupensity
Is really satisfied when you're loving me
Now, tell me, what I say?
Hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic
I can't sleep at night
But that's all right
The M.D. tells me
My heart's on strike
Emanating, originating from a love asphyxiation
He said I better slow down
Before you drive me in the ground
But what he doesn't know is I want another encore
Now, what I say?
Hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic
Let me stop procrastinatin'
Standin' hear and narratin'
Find my emancipator
She's a love educator
Cerebral, cerebellum, a medulla oblongata
A slave's on a horse
Every time she explores
Just heard a discussion about a racial relationship
Now, what I say?
One more time to test the will power of me
These feelings that I hold now
Just won't let me be
This woman won't leave me alone
She's trying to ruin my happy home
With a man's temptation
Now I've got another back home
Who's the beat of my heart
I never thought no one else
Could ever tear us apart
To each other we had been so true
Until alas come a love like you
With a man's temptation
I know I've got to be strong
I've got to fight this all along
So afraid of what I must do
I got to take my woman or you
Now, I've got a feeling telling me
To let your heart be your guide
I don't want to lose either one
Which makes it hard to decide
Though my mind continues to roam
Oh Baby, my heart it stays at home
Controlling my temptation
I'm sorry little miss
That's the way love is
I'm sorry I can't stay
I must be on my way
Every morning when I rise, baby
I look into your sexy eyes, baby
Your love refreshing is good to me, baby
There's no other place I'd rather be, baby
What a way to start each day
Everything I think of just comes my way
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
'Cause you're my joy, you're everything to me
And you've shown me how groovy life can be
Lips to lips, heart to heart in a way that will never part
Sweetness is the name for you, sugar
And loveliness becomes you too
Dedication is your thing, mama
You're forever true to your man, baby
You're the only one who thrills me through and through
And I'll never find another if I search this whole world through
Oh, no, no, no
'Cause you're my joy, you're everything to me
And you've shown me how groovy life can be
Lips to lips, heart to heart in a way that will never part
Now you know why I smile all the time, baby
You give me such peace of mind, honey
Heartaches and pain is a thing of the past, baby
I found happiness at last, mama
Anything you want I'll gladly give to you
'Cause you never did nothing once
That's why I love you too
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
'Cause you're my joy, you're everything to me
And you've shown me how groovy life can be
Lips to lips, heart to heart, oh yeah, in a way that will never part
Keep on loving me
Keep on teasing me
Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There's something wrong here
There can be no denying
One of us is changing
Or maybe we've just stopped trying
And it's too late baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it
It used to be so easy living here with you
You were light and breezy
And I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy
And I feel like a fool
And it's too late baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died
and I can't hide it
And I just can't fake it
There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together
Don't you feel it too
Still I'm glad for what we had
And how I once loved you
But it's too late baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it
Don't you know that I...
I just can't fake it
Oh it's too late my baby
Too late my baby
You know
It's heaven to me when you're near
And i can see those lovely angel eyes
So tenderly inviting me to the land of your desires
It's heaven to me when you speak
The sound of music fills my soul
Melody that hypnotizes me echoing softly
It grows and grows
It's heaven to me when our lips touch
It intoxicates my mind
My breath almost abandons me
My head spins uncontrollably so unaware of space or time
It's heaven to me when our trembling bodies melt in unity
Ten thousand stars explode
I'm high as i can go lovin' you
Hey girl, I want you to know
I'm gonna miss you so much if you go, oh baby
Hey girl, I'll tell you no lie
Something deep inside of me is going to die
If you say,"So long"
If this is goodbye
Hey girl, this can't be true
How am I supposed to exist without you?
Hey girl, don't put me on
What's gonna happen to me when you're gone?
How will I live, how can I go on?
How can I go on?
Hey girl, sit yourself down
I am not ashamed to get down on the ground
And beg you, beg you to stay
Don't go away, hey girl
Oh baby, oh baby, please don't go away from me
Don't go, don't go baby
Hey girl, don't go
I'll tell you one more time girl
The truth is, I just can't stop lovin' you baby, no
Don't go, don't go baby
Hey girl, no no baby
Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are
Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care
I don't want clover conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are.
I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.
I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise fromhe heart
I could not love you any better
I stand accused
Of lovin' you too much
And I hope, I hope it's not a crime
'Cause if it is, I'm guilty
Of lovin' you, you, you
I, I hope to God
That I never have, oh, to testify
'Cause if I do
Everyone is gonna, they're gonna cry
They're gonna say
[Incomprehensible] is guilty
Of lovin' a sweet girl like you
I know, I know
You belong to another
I, I may not stand a ghost of a chance
I'll stand on top of Mount Everest
And proudly tell the world that I love ya
Oh yes, I will
Because I, I just can't
I can't help myself
I'm a victim of circumstance
And just one
Ooh, one touch of your hand
I don't know how it happened
But just look at me
I find myself chillin'
On the witness stand
And I'm shoutin' out
All over, all over the land
[Incomprehensible]
I'm guilty of lovin', lovin' you
I'm guilty of lovin' you
I said, I'm guilty
But what can I do?
I wanna hold ya
I wanna squeeze ya tight
But my mind said
She belong to another
I just don't know what to do with myself
Don't know just what to do with myself
I'm so used to doing everything with you
Planning everything for two
And now that we're through
I just don't know what to do with my time
I'm so lonesome for you it's a crime
Going to a movie only makes me sad
Parties make me feel as bad
When I'm not with you
I just don't know what to do
Like a summer rose needs the sun and rain
I need your sweet love to ease all the pain
I don't know just what to do with myself
I don't know just what to do with myself
Baby if your new love ever turns you down
Come back I will be around
Just waiting for you
I don't know what else to do
Like a summer rose needs the sun and rain
I need your sweet love to ease all the pain
I don't know just what to do with myself
I don't know just what to do with myself
Baby if your new love ever turns you down
Come on back I will be around
Just waiting for you
I don't know what else to do
No no no
I don't know what else to do
I'm just so crazy for you
No no no no
I don't know what else to do
Come first, come, love is calling and once again I'm falling
And I can't turn around, no
My happiness is showing and my love chances growing
And I can't turn around, no
No more empty days and lonely nights
Girl, you've changed my, my whole life
Now my heartaches all are gone, now I'm not alone
'Cause you gave me love, sweet love
My head is spinning from this brand new beginning
And I can't turn around, no no
Everything is sunny like the sweet taste of honey
And I can't turn around, no
Girl, you gave me what I needed so bad
Now that I got it, I'm so glad
Now my life is rearranged, now my luck is changed
'Cause you gave me love, sweet love
You know, I almost forgot how it feels to love someone
But girl you came to me and you made me see
That happiness belongs to everyone
It's like going down the ski slope or stranded on a tightrope
I can't turn around, no
I said, your kiss is so inviting and your arm's so exciting
And I can't turn around, no
Oh, my love is strong as a mountain is tall
Girl, you got it, take it all
Now my life is rearranged, now my luck is changed
'Cause you gave me love, sweet love
Come first, come, love is calling once again I'm falling
And I can't, I won't, I will not turn around
I said, my happiness is showing and my love chances growing
And I can't, I won't turn around, no
Oh, no more empty days and lonely nights
'Cause you've changed my, my whole life
I said, yeah, you gave me what I needed so bad
Now that I've got it, I'm so glad, I say, I won't, I won't turn around
I say, it's like going down the ski slope, stranded on a tightrope
No, I wont turn around, I won't turn around
I say, I can't, I won't turn around
'Cause of my feet on solid ground
I won't, won't turn around
You made me know how it feels to belong to someone
That's why I will not turn around
No I won't, I can't turn around
I won't, I can't turn around
I won't turn around
I say, I won't, I won't turn around
No, I won't, I won't turn around
I've got my life rearranged, my luck has changed
And said I can't, I won't turn around
No, I won't, I said I won't, I won't turn around
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I won't turn around
No, no, no, I won't turn around
Today I passed you on the street
And my heart fell at your feet
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
Somebody else stood by your side
And he looked so satisfied
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
A picture from the past came slowly stealin'
As I brushed your arm and walked so close to you
Then suddenly I got that old-time feelin'
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
(still in love with you)
(Today I passed you on the street)
Today I passed you on the street
(And my heart fell at your feet)
And my heart fell at your feet
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
(Somebody else stood by your side)
Somebody else stood by your side
(And he looked so satisfied)
And, ya know, he looked so satisfied
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
Oh, it hurts to know another's lips will kiss you
And hold ya just the way I used to do
Oh-oh-oh-oh heaven only knows how much I,
How much that I miss ya
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
What do you get when you fall in love?
A guy with a pin to burst your bubble
That's what you get for all your trouble.
I'll never fall in love again.
I'll never fall in love again.
What do you get when you kiss a guy?
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia.
After you do, he'll never phone you.
I'll never fall in love again.
I'll never fall in love again.
Don't tell me what is all about,
'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out,
Out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you
What do you get when you fall in love?
You get enough tears to fill an ocean
That's what you get for your devotion.
I'll never fall in love again.
I'll never fall in love again.
What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow.
So, for at least until tomorrow,
I'll never fall in love again!
Do me wrong, do me right. Tell me lies but hold me tight.
Save your good-byes for the morning light, but don't let
me be lonely tonight.
Say goodbye and say hello. Sure enough good to see you,
but it's time to go.
Don't say yes but please don't say no, I don't want to be
lonely tonight.
Go away then, damn you, go on and do as you please,
You ain't gonna see me getting down on my knees.
I'm undecided, and your heart's been divided, you've been
turning my world upside down.
Do me wrong, do me right, right now, baby. Go on and tell
me lies but hold me tight.
Save your good-byes for the morning light, morning light,
But don't let me be lonely tonight.
I don't want to be lonely tonight, no, no, I don't want
to be lonely tonight.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she always gone too long anytime she goes away
Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I
know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I
know, I know, I
know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I
know, I know
Hey I'll leave the young thing alone
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness everyday
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Seems I got to have a change of scene
Cause every night I have the strangest dreams
Imprisoned by the way it used to be
Left here on my own or so it seems
I got to leave before I start to scream
But someone's locked the door and took the key
Feelin' alright
Not feelin' too good myself
Feelin' alright
Not feelin' too good myself
Boy you sure took me for one big ride
Even now I sit and wonder why
And when I think of you I start to cry
Got to stop belivin' in all your lies
Cause I got to much to do before I die
Before someone comes along and takes my place
Strollin' in the park
Watchin' winter turn to spring
Walkin' in the dark
Seein' lovers do their thing
Oo-oo-ooh
That's the time
I feel like makin' love to you
That's the time
I feel like makin' dreams come true, oh Baby
When you talk to me
When you're moanin' sweet and low
When you're touchin' me
And my feelin's start to show
Oo-oo-ooh
That's the time
I feel like makin' love to you
That's the time
I feel like makin' dreams come true, oh Baby
In a restaurant
Holdin' hands by candlelight
While I'm touchin' you
Wanting you with all my might
Oo-oo-ooh
That's the time
I feel like makin' love to you
That's the time
I feel like makin' dreams come true, oh Baby
Strollin' in the park
Watchin' winter turn to spring
Walkin' in the dark
Seein' lovers do their thing
Oo-oo-ooh
That's the time
Hey sexy, my lovely lady
No one can make me feel as good as you do
Your action produces satisfaction
You let me know what you're feeling by the way that you move
A lot of sweet talk is second handed
'Cause the language that you speak, I can understand it
You're speaking body language, so sexual and so sweet
Body language, it feels so good to me
It's an intimate form of communication used all over the world
The language between a man and a women, and a boy and girl
It needs no translation, it needs no edification
There's a whole lot of freedom of speech in your walk
And the swaying of your hips, it really talks
You're talkin' body language, you're speaking when we're making love
It's your body language, you're speaking when we're making love
Body language, when we're walkin' through the park, yeah
Day time and after dark, we're dancing on the floor
Especially behind closed doors
Hey mama, if you wanna know, I'm ready
I really got the message clear and strong, yeah
Now it's no lie, the look in your eyes
Here's an instant turn on
And when we're hooked together by the chains of desire
It's total communication, nothing to put up a fight
'Cause we're speaking body language
Speak with me, I wanna make love to you
Body language, speaking while we're making love
Body language
(So, so sure, and so sweet)
Body language
(Feels so good to me)
Body language
(So clear and strong, yeah)
Body language
(It's an instant turn on)
Body language
(While we're dancing on the floor)
Body language
(Specially behind closed doors)
Body language
(Uh, way you walk, you're speaking)
Body language
(I love the way your body talks)
Body language
(Used all over the world, yeah)
Body language
(Man, women, boy and girl, yeah)
Body language
(I love you, I love you)
Body language
Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you
You the only one I care enough to hurt about
Maybe I'm-a crazy
But I just can't live without...
Your lovin' and affection
Givin' me direction
Like a guiding light to help me through a darkest hour
Lately I'm a-prayin'
That you'll always be a-stayin' beside me
Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Feeling all the while and never really knowing why...
Lately I'm a-prayin'
That you'll always be a-stayin' beside me.
Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Then you came along and made me laugh
And made me cry...
You taught me why...
Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you
Oh, it took so long to find you, baby
Baby, I'm-a want you

You never close your eyes anymore
When I kiss your lips
There's no tenderness like before
In your fingertips
You're trying hard not to show it
But baby, baby I know it
You've lost that lovin' feelin'
Whoa, that lovin' feelin'
You've lost that lovin' feelin'
Now it's gone, gone, gone whoa
Now there's no welcome look in your eyes
When I reach for you
And you've started to criticize
All the little things I do
It makes me just feel like crying
Cause baby, something beautiful's dying
You've lost that lovin' feelin'
Whoa, that lovin' feelin'
You've lost that lovin' feelin'
Now it's gone, gone, gone, whoa
Baby, baby
I'd get down on my knees for you
If you'd only love me
Like the way you used to do
We had a love, a love
A love you don't find every day
So don't, don't, don't
Please don't take it away
Baby (baby)

And I can't go on, whoa
You've lost that lovin' feelin'
Whoa, that lovin' feelin'
You've lost that lovin' feelin
If you see me walkin' down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by
Make believe that you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve in private 'cause each time I see
I break down and cry, I cry
Walk on by, don't stop
Walk on by, don't stop
Walk on by
I just can't get over losin' you
And so if I seem, broken and blue
Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride, that's all that I have left
So let me hide the tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye, you said good bye
So walk on by, don't stop
Walk on by, don't stop
Walk on by, don't stop
Walk on by
Walk on by
Walk on by
Foolish pride, that's all that I have left
So let me hide the tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye, you said goodbye
So walk on by, don't stop
Walk on by, don't stop
Now you really gotta go, so walk on by
Baby, leave, you'll never see the tears I cry
You better walk on by

Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come-on come-on and dance all night
Despite the heat it'll be alright
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
That the days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city
Cool town, evening in the city
Dressing so fine and looking so pretty
Cool cat, looking for a kitty
Gonna look in every corner of the city
Till I'm wheezing like a bus stop
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop
But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come-on come-on and dance all night
Despite the heat it'll be alright
And babe, don't you know it's a pity

I fight my way through the 5 o'clock rush hour
As daylight slowly leaves the sky
I open the door to that little room we call home.
Her loving arms are to greet me
And her tender lips are always there to greet me, at
the end of every day
You know, it's always been that way.
Then I fight my way through the early morning traffic
ahhh, but someone else is heavy on my mind
Then I open the door to our favorite little coffeeshop
And she's right on time.
Her loving arms are there to greet me
and her tender lips are there to greet me
That's the way I start my day.
But it's too bad it dosen't end that way.
One woman is making my home
While the other woman making me do wrong
I didn't intend to let get that strong
Now I gotta decide where I belong
(musical interlude)
Her loving arms are there to greet me
Ooooo tender lips are there to meet me
That's the way I start my day
Whoaaaa, too bad, so sad
it doesn't end that way.
One woman making my home, yes she is
While the other woman, you know making me do wrong
I didn't intend to let this pain get that strong
Now I gotta decide, where I, where I, where I belong.
One woman ahhhh making my home yes she is now
The other woman making this man do wrong
I don't know which one to choose, no I don't
And neither one can this man bear to lose
Oooooo no, no, no
I said
One woman making my home
Ooooo while this other woman making me do wrong, ahhhhh
yeah
I didn't intend to let this pain get this strong
Now I gotta decide where I belong, tell me, which way
to gooooooooo.
One woman making my home,
Never gonna give you up
No matter how you treat me
Never gonna give you up
So don't you think of leavin'
Girl, you treat me bad and I know why
Yeah, I've seen you runnin' around with another guy
And you think if you hurt me that I'll go away
Made it up in my mind that I'm here to stay
So tell him
(Never gonna give you up)
Whisper in his ear
(No matter how you treat me)
(Never gonna give you up)
You tell him that Jerry said he'll never let you go
(So don't you think of leavin')
Hey, don't you understand
What you're doing to the man?
Do you see these tears here in my eyes?
Ain't no use in me lyin' 'cause I really cried
You think you're gonna take me and put me on the shelf
Girl, I'd rather die than see you with somebody else
So throw it out of your mind
(Never gonna give you up)
I'll never leave you
(No matter how you treat me)
Though you grieve me and deceive me, yeah
(Never gonna give you up)
(So don't you think of leavin')
Hey, don't you understand
What you're doing to the man?
My friends all say that I'm your fool
And you're using me like a carpenter uses a tool
And I know their intentions have all been good
Some of them would help me if they could
But I'll
(Never gonna give you up)
Never, never, never, never let you go
(No matter how you treat me)
No matter what you say
(Never gonna give you up)
(So don't you think of leavin')
Baby, don't you understand
That you're killing this man?
(Never gonna give you up)
Never gonna give you up
(No matter how you treat me)
No matter what you do to me, baby now
(Never gonna give you up)
(So don't you think of leavin')
Oh, never leave me
I'll be always standing around the door
(Never gonna give you up)
(No matter how you treat me)
Even though you say that honey
Someone, someone
Someone, someone
Someone, someone
Someone, someone
I need to belong to someone
It hurts to be known as no one
Will ever some sweet girl bring love into my world?
'Cause I need to belong to someone
I wanna be kissed and held tight
I want to be missed on a cold and lonely night
Somebody hear my plea, call out to me
'Cause I need to belong to someone
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
No one cares for me, I've never known sympathy
I hide my needs from the world with a smile
Understand that I'm only a man
And a man needs to belong to someone
Man hates to be known as no one
Will ever some sweet girl bring a little love into my world?
'Cause I need to belong to someone
Oh, I hide my needs, from the world with a smile
But understand, I'm only a man
And a man needs to belong to someone
A man hates to be known as no one
Oh, send me a sweet girl to bring love into my world
'Cause I need to belong to someone
I need to be kissed, yeah
(I need to belong to someone, someone)
I need to be missed, oh yeah
(I need to be loved by someone, someone)
I need to be held tight on a cold, cold and lonely night
(I need to belong to someone, someone)
I need to hold, hold someone, someone
(I need to be loved by someone, someone)
I need to belong to someone
(I need to belong to someone, someone)
I need to be missed, oh yeah, someone
(I need to be loved by someone, someone)
(I need to belong to someone, someone)
(I need to be loved by someone, someone)
I need to belong, some sweet girl
(I need to belong to someone, someone)
Bring love into my world
(I need to be loved by someone, someone)
The time is right, you hold me tight
And love's got me high
Please tell me, 'Yes' and don't say, 'No'
Honey, not tonight
Move a little close to me, you owe it to yourself
And I will selfishly take a little for myself
And it's because of you
That love won't let me wait
Yeah, yeah
The time is right, turn down the lights
And take my hand, ooh, ooh, yeah
We'll take a flight and spend the night
In Wonderland
And I need to have you next to me in more ways than one
And I refuse to leave till I see the mornin' sun
Creep through your window pane
Because love won't let me wait
Not another minute
Ooh...ooh...ooh...yeah...yeah...
And I need your love so desperately and only you can
set me free
When I make to you, we'll explode in ecstasy
And I won't take the blame
That love won't let me wait
Love won't, no, no, no
Love won't, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
(Love won't let me wait)
Yeah...yeah...
Love won't
I said
(Love won't let me wait)
My baby
My temperature's risin', ooh
(Love won't let me wait) Won't let me
Not another minute
(Love won't let me wait) Won't let me
Baby, baby
(I can't wait) I can't wait (I can't wait) I can't
wait, I can't wait (I can't wait)
I can't wait, no, no, no, can't wait
(Wait) No way, no way, no, no, no, no
No way, no way, no, no
(Doo...ooh...) Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...yeah
(Wait) I cant wait not another minute
Not another minute (I can't wait, I can't wait) I'll be
there (I can't wait) yes, I will
I'll be there
(Wait) Comin', I'm comin', I'm comin'
Hold on, I'm comin', I'm comin', I'm comin'
(Ooh...ooh...) I can't wait, can't wait
I can't wait, can't wait
No way, no way, no way, no, no
No, no, no, no
(Wait) Ooh...yeah...ooh...ooh...
(I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait)
They call her the lady of the night
She's a woman of the world
And easy-living girl with love for sale
That's what they call her the lady of the night
No one seems to know her name
And even less about the place
From where she came
Every evening when the night is close at hand
You'll find the lady on the Rue d'Avignon
In a half lit hotel doorway the lady advertises warmly
It's just a job but she'll do the best she can
Don't try to change this lady of the night
She's a lot like you and me
And less than what she seems to be
(She is the lady of the night)
And easy-living girl
(she is the lady of the night)
She's a woman of the world
(she is the lady of the night)
With lots of loving for sale
(she is the lady of the night)
Lady lady of the night
Round here they call her the lady of the night
In a perfume hotel room
Shadows dance upon the wall and fate at dawn
She's no beginner this lady of the night
Never try that funny stuff
'cause lady can be tough
Be warned!
(She is the lady of the night)
She's a lot like you and me
(she is the lady of the night)
And never just what she seems
(she is the lady of the night)
No one seems to know her name
(she is the lady of the night)
Strange faces unfamiliar places
Feel so alone
I wonder am I really home ?
Memories of old lovers,
One stands out above all the others
Am I in the twilight zone or is this really home
Days turned to weeks, weeks turned to months
Months turned into years, and now I’m back at number
On where I started from, all my friends are gone
It doesn’t look like home
This looks like the old cemetery, where I first
Made love to Mary.
It seems so small.
Could it be home after all ?
What once was my hangout is a parking lot now.
Is this my old neighborhood or a
Combat zone or is this really, really home ?
Life has been a stage of continuous plays so many
Dress rehearsals.
Caught up in a haze of my yesterday’s
Im gonna do all the thing for you
A girl wants a man to do
Oh, baby (oh, baby)
Ill sacrifice for you
Ill even do wrong for you
Oh, baby (oh, baby)
Every minute, every hour
Im gonna shower you
With love and affection
Look out, its comin in your direction
And I'm
Im gonna make you love me
Oh, yes I will
Yes I will
Im gonna make you love me
Oh, yes I will
Yes I will
Look here
My love is strong, you see
I know youll never get tired of me
Oh, baby (oh, baby)
And Im gonna use every trick in the book
Ill try my best to get you hooked
Hey, baby (hey, baby)
And every night, every day
Im gonna say
Im gonna get you, Im gonna get you
Look out boy, cause Im gonna get you
Im gonna make you love me
Oh, yes I will
Yes I will
And Im gonna make you love me
Oh, yes I will
You know I will
Every breathe I take
And each and every step I make
Brings me closer, baby
Closer to you
And with each beat of my heart
For every day were apart
Ill hunger for every wasted hour
And I...
Every night
And every day
Im gonna get you, Im gonna get you
Look out, cause Im gonna get you
Im gonna make you love me
Oh, yes I will
Yes I will
Im gonna make you love me
Oh, yes I will
Yes I will
Im gonna make you love me
Oh, yes I will
Yes I will
Im gonna make you love me
Oh, yes I will
I'm gonna have to tell her
I just can't help myself
I'll suffer the consequences
I'm to a point
I just dont' care
I've fallen in love with you
And I got to let her know
If leaving her means keeping you
Then I've got to let her go
Thats why ...
I'm gonna have to tell her
It's all over
I'm gonna have to tell her
It's all over now
I've got to try and tell the kids
In a way they'll understand
That sometimes these things
Can happen to a man
I'm hung up on you girl
So much until it hurts
The more I see of you
The less I wanna see of her
I'm gonna have to tell her
It's all over
I'm gonna have to tell her
It's all over now
I'm a hung up on your love
So much until it hurts
The more I see of you
The less I wanna see of her
That's why
I'm gonna have to tell her
It's all over
I'm gonna have to tell her
It's all over now
I didn't mean
To let this thing get so strong.. no
Sometimes when you're merry in love
You can't tell right from wrong
I'm gonna have to tell her
I've slipped and fell in love
I'm gonna have to tell her
It's all over
Got to try and tell the kids
Daddy won't be coming home
I'm gonna have to tell her
She's gonna be sleeping all alone
God give me strength
I don't want to make her cry
But I've got to tell her
Just cant tell her no more lies
I'm gonna have to tell her
It's all over now
I'm gonna have to tell her
I'm an ever rollin' wheel
Without a destination real
I'm an ever spinning top
Whirling around till I drop
Oh, but what am I to do
My mind is in a whirlpool
Give me a little hope
One small thing to cling to
You got me going in circles
Oh...oh...oh...round and round I go
You got me going in circles
Oh...oh...oh...round and round I go
I'm spun out over you
(Over you, over you, over you)
Over you, over you
I'm a faceless clock
With timeless hopes that never stop
Lord, when I feel that way
Of my soul, my soul at stake
Oh, but what am I to do
My mind is in a whirlpool
Give me a little hope
One small thing to cling to
You got me going in circles
Oh...oh...oh...round and round I go
You got me going in circles
Oh...oh...oh...round and round I go
I'm spun out over you (I need you, baby)
Over you (I need you, baby)
Spun out over you (I need you, baby)
(I need you, baby) Oh, baby (Baby)
I'm spun out (I need you, baby)
I said I'm spun out over you (I need you, baby)
Spun out over you (I need you, baby)
(I need you, baby) Baby, baby
(I need you, baby) I'm spun out
I've been diggin' on you little girl
Every time you stroll by
And I can't help but notice
The sad look in your eyes
Ever didn't be your man and hurt you
The pain is on your face
It's a shame to see
All that good lovin', just go to waste
So don't waste it, don't waste it
Don't waste it, baby
Just give all that good lovin' to me
Give it to me, you see, I can use it
Also know how it feels
To be the victim of a bad relation
So don't you feel all by yourself
Because we're in the same situation
You need love and I need love
We both got love to give
So let's stop drowning in our sorrows
Let's get together and live
So don't waste it, don't waste it
Don't waste it, baby
Just give all that good lovin' to me
Let me use it, I can use it
Don't waste it, don't waste it
Don't waste it, baby
Just give all that good lovin' to me
If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are
Don't look so sad, I know it's over.
But life goes on, and this old world will keep on
turning.
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together.
There's no need to watch the bridges that we're burning.
Lay your head upon my pillow.
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine.
Hear the whisper of the raindrops,
Blowin' soft against the window,
And make believe you love me one more time,
For the good times.
I'll get along; you'll find another,
And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me.
Don't say a word about tommorrow or forever,
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me.
Lay your head upon my pillow.
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine.
Hear the whisper of the raindrops,
Blowin' soft against the window,
And make believe you love me one more time,
Never know how much I love you
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a fever thats so hard to bear
You give me fever when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning
Fever all through the night.
Evrybodys got the fever
That is something you all know
Fever isnt such a new thing
Fever started long ago
Sun lights up the daytime
Moon lights up the night
I light up when you call my name
And you know Im gonna treat you right
You give me fever when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning
Fever all through the night
Romeo loved juliet
Juliet she felt the same
When he put his arms around her
He said julie, baby, youre my flame
Thou giv-est fever when we kisseth
Fever with the flaming youth
Fever Im afire
Fever yea I burn for sooth
Captain smith and pocahantas
Had a very mad affair
When her daddy tried to kill him
She said daddy, o, dont you dare
He gives me fever with his kisses
Fever when he holds me tight
Fever, Im his misses,
Oh daddy, wont you treat him right
Now youve listened to my story
Heres the point that I have made
Cats were born to give chicks fever
Be it fahrenheit or centigrade
They give you fever when you kiss them
Fever if you live and learn
Fever till you sizzle
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
Hear that whistle its 10 o'clock
(Don't let go)
(Don't let go)
Come on baby it's time to rock
(Don't let go)
(Don't let go)
I'm so glad I've got you here
(Don't let go)
(Don't let go)
Keeps me grinnin' from ear to ear
(Don't let go)
(Don't let go)
Oo-ee, mmm this feelin' is killin' me
Aaaw shucks
Well, I wouldn't stop for a million bucks
(I love you so)
Just hold me tight and don't let go
Thunder, lightnin', wind and rain
(Don't let go)
(Don't let go)
Love is formin' inside my brain
(Don't let go)
(Don't let go)
I'm so eager I'm nearly dyin'
(Don't let go)
(Don't let go)
You've been keepin' your lips from mine
(Don't let go)
(Don't let go)
Oo-ee, mmm this feelin' is killin' me
Aaaw shucks
Well, I wouldn't stop for a million bucks
(I love you so)
Just hold me tight and don't let go, yeah
Whooooa, yeah
Don't let go
Come on and kiss me, kiss me sweet
Hold me tight baby and don't let go
(Don't let go)
Come on and love me
You've gotta love me
(Don't let go)
I want ya, I want ya, I really, really want ya
(Don't let go)
All night, feels so right
(Don't let go)
Hold me tight, don't let go
[Instrumental Interlude]
Hound dogs barkin' upside the hill
(Don't let go)
(Don't let go)
Love is draggin' him through the mill
(Don't let go)
(Don't let go)
If it wasn't for havin' you, girl
(Don't let go)
(Don't let go)
I'd be a-howlin' and a-barkin' too
(Don't let go)
(Don't let go)
Ooh-ee, mmm this feelin' is killin' me
Aaaw shucks
Well, I wouldn't stop for a million bucks
(I love you so)
Just hold me tight and don't let go, no
No, no don't let go
I need ya so, girl
Hold me, momma
(Hold me tight if it takes all night)
(But don't let go)
Don't, don't let me go
(I wouldn't stop for a million bucks)
('Cause I love you so)
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
You'd be like Heaven to touch.
I wanna hold you so much.
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
Pardon the way that I stare.
There's nothing else to compare.
The sight of you leaves me weak.
There are no words left to speak,
But if you feel like I feel,
Please let me know that it's real.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
I love you, baby,
And if it's quite alright,
I need you, baby,
To warm a lonely night.
I love you, baby.
Trust in me when I say...
Oh, pretty baby,
Don't bring me down, I pray.
Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay
And let me love you, baby.
Let me love you.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
You'd be like Heaven to touch.
I wanna hold you so much.
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
I love you, baby,
And if it's quite alright,
I need you, baby,
To warm a lonely night.
I love you, baby.
Trust in me when I say...
Oh, pretty baby,
Don't bring me down, I pray.
By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be rising
She'll find the note I left hangin' on her door
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm
leavin'
'Cause I've left that girl so many times before
By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be working
She'll prob'ly stop at lunch and give me a call
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringin'
Off the wall that's all
By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleepin'
She'll turn softly and call my name out loud
And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her
Tho' time and time I try to tell her so
Tonight's the night
The time is right for the thing I waited for so long
I finally got you where I want you girl
The fire of my desire is burning strong
I feel your heart beating like a drum
As we lie on the floor
But before that precious moment comes
We got one more
No two more
We got a few more kisses to go
Hold me tonight please don't fight
I believe you want me as I want you
Girl is gonna be a full grown woman before this night
is through
So close your eyes and open up your heart
The world is locked outside the door
But before the loving starts
We got one more
No two more
We got a few more kisses to go
I got to take my time and control my mind
Even though it's hard to do
The longer we wait the better it's gonna be when I make
love to you
We're about to feel our fantasies
And let our passion flow
But before we get into our bed
We got one more
No two more
The windows of the world are covered with rain,
Where is the sunshine we once knew?
Evrybody knows when little children play
They need a sunny day to grow straight and tall.
Let the sun shine through.
The windows of the world are covered with rain,
When will those black skies turn to blue?
Evrybody knows when boys grow into men
They start to wonder when their country will call.
Let the sun shine through.
The windows of the world are covered with rain,
What is the whole world coming to?
Evrybody knows when men can not be friends
Their quarrel often ends where some have to die.
Let the sun shine through.
The windows of the world are covered with rain,
There must be something we can do.
Evrybody knows whenever rain appears
Its really angel tears.
How long must they cry?
Don't you ever take your love away
I need your loving more than roses need the rain
Don't you ever take your love away
It would only break my heart and I couldn't stand the pain
The love we share keeps us together, and
Everyday it grows a little more
If I'd ever lost this heaven girl
I would lose all the things that I've been living for
[chorus]
You're such sweet anticipation
A love fulfillment's all my every need
Everyday's a lover's vacation
I don't want to wake up from this wonderful dream
[chorus]
Rainy days or sunny weather
It doesn't matter as long as I got you
Oh lover let's stay together
'Cause I don't want to lose this groove that we're into
love, love, i know you can hear me
see we've known each other a long time
i guess right now you've got the last laugh
i know i abused you
i took advantage of you
i used you selfishly
i apologize now
see because after suffering so much
i know now i was wrong
you've the only one i can turn to
because i misused you
you've the only one that can straighten me
you see love
i can't sleep
i can't even eat
i don't go anywhere anymore
love, if you help me just this once
i'll never misuse you anymore
i won't be cold anymore
and i'll forever keep you in my heart
please baby, please
help me love, find my way
i'm still living in yesterday
there are some things i don't care to reveal
you see they make me feel the way that i feel
i think if i told you, you might just understand
why i appear to be such a cold-hearted man
once upon a love, that was so untrue
it turned my heart into stone, and left me so blue
you got to help me love, you're my only chance
i need you to help make me once again a man
take this heart of mine, and make it new
please, don't ever leave me blue
and if there?s anyone in this whole wide world
it would be you, you're secret baby love
just give me love like i never had
treat me good, i'm so tired of being treated so bad
help me love, i feel so bad
i guess it goes all the way back to my mom and dad
two people, i never chanced to know
i wonder why, i miss them so
i never had a mothers touch
or a fathers hand
a good woman's love
why, i just don't understand
maybe i'm the one who made myself blue
won't you help me love, help me find happiness with you
help me love, help me love
help me love, find my way
help me love, turn darkness into day
help me love, you're my only chance
help me love, make me once again a man
help me love, i need you so bad
help me love, give me the chance i never had
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Whatever colors you have in your mind
I'll show them to you and you'll see them shine
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Until the break of day, let me see you make him smile
His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean
And you're the best thing that he's ever seen
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Why wait any longer for the world to begin
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When he's standing in front of you
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead
I long to see you in the morning light
I long to reach for you in the night
This time of the year,
which we call Christmas.
people full of cheer,
oh and kids are wishful.
But most of all,
to make it complete
there's you
the mistletoe and me.
Look at the flames in the fireplace,
embrace each other.
and mother nature's clad in white
(ooh) wants to sing for her lovers (yea).
And through the house
all is serene
just you
the mistletoe and me
Listening to the sounds
that comes with yuletide
as they flow from near and far.
Looking in your eyes,
cause they're bright and shining
with the glow
of a distance star.
Fate is santa claus
and cupid's his helper
I'm so grateful because
(ooh) they brought us together
And together we are
and we will always be
just you
the mistletoe and me.
Oh you Moe
I said you
oh you
I, I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
Is all right with me
'Cause you make me feel so brand new
And I want to spend my life with you
Since, since we've been together
Loving you forever
Is what I need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue
Let's, let's stay together
Lovin' you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad
Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad
Why, why some people break up
Then turn around and make up
I just can't see
You'd never do that to me (would you, baby)
Staying around you is all I see
(Here's what I want us to do)
[Repeat to fade:]
Let's, we oughta stay together
Loving you whether, whether
You think I love you
For just one thing
To you my love this may be
The way that it seems
But I love the way, that you carry yourself
I really love you, I love you, love you, love you, love you
I love you, baby, love you
The way you wear your hair
Ain't that loving you, ain't that loving you
For more reasons than one
You're the one, only one
You're the one, listen girl
Somehow, my love
You've been misled
By the things that others
Other guys have said, don't you believe 'em
Well, I love you, yes, I do, for what you are
Yeah, I even love you, I love you, love you, I love you
Love you, I love you, baby, love you
For what you may become
Ain't that loving you everyday, every way
Ain't that loving you, ohh, yeah, for more reasons than one
You're the one, you're the one, only one, only one
You're the one, I betcha never thought about it
Did it ever occur to you, why I do all that I can do?
To keep that smile upon your face that's why I love you
In so many ways, that's why I love you
In so many ways, ooh, la, baby
Somehow, my love
You've been misled
By the things that others
Other guys have said, slammed the door in your face
But I love you, everyday for what you are
Girl I even love you, I love you, love you, ooh
For what you may become
Ain't that loving you, whole lot of love, everyday
Ain't that loving you, in every way, ohh, yeah
For more reasons than one, you're the one
You're the one, only one, you're the one, listen girl
I love the way you wear your hair
I love the way that you carry yourself
I love the way that you squeeze me tight, yeah
I just love the way you make everything all right

Can't you feel it baby when I hold you?
Of all the things I want in the world
Is to have you to come live with me
And be my girl
You see, I've done a lot of playing around
Big cities and some smaller towns
A lot of girls, they knew my name
And were fascinated by my game
But finally there comes a time
When one leaves his past behind
Because he meets a girl like you
The likes of which he never knew
Love is here
And I know it's here to stay
So please, my dear, believe me when I say
Just as long as fire is hot
Girl, you have all the love I've got
Come live with me, girl
I've never been in love at all
Never thought I'd ever fall
But you touched my heart and soul
And you took complete control
Everyday you're on my mind
I think about you all the time
Just how beautiful it would be
If you were constantly with me
Making love with you
Is a joy I've never known
I know you feel it too
So let me take you home
'Cause just as long as fire is hot
Girl you have all the love I've got
Come live with me
And just as long as the world is round
I swear, I'll never let you down
Please live with me, girl
I'll try very hard to be
The man that you want me to be
I'll do anything to satisfy
I don't want to make you cry
True love and security
Are two things a women needs
And these things I promise to give
Just as long as I shall live
Love is here
And I know it's here to stay
So please, my dear, believe me when I say
Just as long as fire is hot

Precious, precious.
Precious, precious.
Precious baby, you're mine.
Mmm... if you don't love me, I'm used to that.
If you don't need me, baby, I can adjust to that.
If you don't want me, honey, that's alright.
If you ain't willin', baby, there sure won't be no fight.
'Cause I'm still satisfied
In loving you
And I'll be waiting 'round when you get through.
Oh, you're precious, honey.
You're so precious.
Precious baby, you're mine.
You've been in and out of my life
And, ooh, baby that hurts,
Baby, that hurts, yeah.
You've been with every girl in this town.
You've been dealin' in dirt.
Just wallowin' in dirt, yes you have.
But I look at love as a two-way street.
You get the good with the bad,
You take the bitter with the sweet.
Oh, you're precious, honey.
You're so precious, baby.
Precious baby, you're mine.
Oooh-oooh, na, na, na, na, yeah, baby.
Oooh-oooh, na, na, na, na, yeah, baby.
Mmm... what people say about ya
Sure ain't no fun
But what they don't know about ya,
You're like two men wrapped up in one.
We've got our life, so let's make it.
It's our chance, so come on, baby, let's take it.
Oh, you're precious, baby.
You're so precious (precious).
Precious baby, you're mine.
Yes, honey (precious).
You're precious, baby.
Precious baby, you're mine.
Ooh, you're precious, baby, yeah (precious).
You're so precious, yes, you are (precious).
Precious baby, you're mine.
Oooh, you're precious, honey (precious).
Oooh, you're precious, baby (precious).
If the music make you move
'Cause you can really groove
Then groove on, groove on
If you feel like you wanna make love
Under the stars above
Love on, love on
If there's something you wanna say
And talkin' is the only way
Rap on, oh, rap on
'Cause whatever you do
Oh, you've got to do your thing
If you feel like you wanna scream
'Cause that's your way of lettin' off steam
Scream on, scream on
If you feel like you wanna sing
'Cause singing is your thing
Sing on, sing on
If you wanna make love all night
And you feel it's right
Right on, right on
Cause whatever you do
Oh, you've got to do your thing
I thought that I wanted to be free
And the street life was the thing for me
But I was wrong
I shouldn't have let you get away
I've seen too many lonely days
Since you've been gone
I miss you, baby
My life is coming apart
I need to be with you
Wherever you are
A different carol every night
Music, wine and soft lights
Don't help at all
'Cause when I'm about to get it on
My mind drifts to the telephone
Hoping you call
I need you baby
Stop this pain in my heart
I need to be with you
Wherever you are
You never know how deep love grows till you lose it
And you never, never, never realize
It's true for you until it's gone
You, only you can restore my piece of mind
I would truly smile again
Until you come back home
Sometimes I can hear you call my name
I must be going insane, my mind playing truth for me
Your loving arms is a therapy
That I need to get back my sanity
Oh I need you, baby
You got to stop this pain in my heart
I need to be with you
Wherever you are
I love you
Wherever you are
I need you
Wherever you are
Come to me, baby
Stop this playing in my heart
I need you
Wherever you are
I miss you
Wherever you are
Come back baby, come on back
Stop this playing in my heart
Nothing can take a place of you
I love you
Ah, this was real
You make me laugh, you make me cry
You make me gasp, you make me sigh
You make me calm, you make me so excited
Just the thought of you and my desire is ignited
You make me hope, you make me dream
You make me recognize the simplest things
You make me hungry, you make me satisfied
You make me challenge the world, you make me strive
To be the best man I can for you
To share our beautiful sunset when the day is through
You make me just want to comfort you when you're feeling blue
My arms are always open just for you
With so much affection to give you make me love
Casey joins the hollow sound of silent people walking down
The stairway to the subway and the shadows down below
Following the footsteps through the neon darkened corridors
Of silent desperation, never speaking to a soul
The poison air he's breathing has a dirty smell of dying
'Cause it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rain
Casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes
Of the clicking of the turnstile and the rattle of his chains
"Oh", she said, "Casey, it's been so long since I've seen you"
"Here", she said, "Just a kiss to make a body smile"
"See", she said, "I've put on new stockings just to please you"
"Lord", she said, "Casey, can you only stay awhile?"
Casey leaves the underground and stops inside the golden crown
For something wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bones
Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men
Who reach for anything they can to keep from going home
Standing in the corner, Casey drinks his pint of bitter
Never glancing in the mirror at the people passing by
He stumbles as he's leaving and he wonders if the reason
Is the beer that's in his belly or the tear that's in his eye
"Oh", she said, "I suppose that you seldom think about me"
"Now", she said, "Now that you've a family of your own"
"Still", she said, "It's so blessed and good to feel your body"
it's been so long time from the past
what love is all about
you called me up one night
and asked if I could take you for a ride
over the telephone
my silence returned your rhyme
what a surprise
to give from spending
with you in mind
and never ever ever did you wrong
No I never, huh I never sent you wrong
and if you wanna, wanna be my lover
you gotta show me how much you care
If You (if want my loving my kissing and hugging)

Now I been all alone
since you picked up and you walked out
and girl since you been gone

I've heard these lies
so many times before
if you want me back
just let me know
why you walked out that door
want my loving my kissing and hugging)
do me right, do me right,
Why should I feel discouraged?
Tell me why should the shadows fall?
Tell me why should my heart be lonely
And long for heaven and home?
When Jesus is my portion
A constant friend, oh, is He
For His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
I sing because I'm so happy
Everyday I sing because God made me free, yeah
Oh, His eye is on the sparrow, oh yeah
And I know, said I know, I know that, I know that, I know
You can't tell me that I don't know
Hanging at a disco
Watching girls come and go
Checking out the dance floor
Music loud as it can go
Strobe lights flashing bright
One chick is outa sight
Everybody's gathering around
To watch this chick who's getting down
Juicy Fruit sure is cute
In your sexy jumpsuit
You're really shaking your behind
Disco freak on your feet
Shake it to the funky beat
Go on and lead the disco line
The excitement is getting high
I think she's giving me the eye
Lord, she's sexy as can be
I believe she wants to dance with me
Whatever you want me to do
I'll do it as long as its with you
Girl, you've got some freakish moves
Looks like you're gonna split in two
Juicy Fruit sure is cute
In your sexy jumpsuit
You're really shaking your behind
Disco freak on your feet
Shake it to the funky beat
Go on and lead the disco line
They say disco music is here to stay
And it will never go away
So just as long as they're around
If the music make you move
'Cause you can really groove
Then groove on, groove on
If you feel like you wanna make love
Under the stars above
Love on, love on
If there's something you wanna say
And talkin' is the only way
Rap on, oh, rap on
'Cause whatever you do
Oh, you've got to do your thing
If you feel like you wanna scream
'Cause that's your way of lettin' off steam
Scream on, scream on

'Cause singing is your thing
Sing on, sing on
If you wanna make love all night
And you feel it's right
Right on, right on
Cause whatever you do
Oh, you've got to do your thing
(Hayes, David Porter)
You don't know like I know
What that woman has done for me
In the morning, she's my water
In the evening, she's my cup of tea
As long as I live
Wherever trouble lies
I go to her, and like a miracle
Everything just turns out right
You don't know like I know
What that woman has done for me
She brings her lovin' home now,
Just the way it's supposed to be
What she want, she can get
Tender loving
Well she's ready
Yeah she's ready
Yeah she's ready and willing
As long as I live
Wherever trouble lies
I go to her, and like a miracle
Everything just gets alright
You don't know like I know
What that woman has done for me
In the morning, she's my water
In the evening, she's my cup of tea
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows like I know
You don't know
You don't know
You don't know
An electric current binds us together forever
I am a memory burnt onto thin air
When you call me with vibrations
In harmony with some Saturnine frequency
I spill outward, or flow, or list, or gel
It is somewhere between your mind and mine
Where, I cannot exactly tell
I want you to think about "93"
It isn't like planting a thought in your head
Or an image of a thought
But more like creating a thought
In sympathy with yours
The blind need to see
The deaf need to hear
We need to speak
