All I want to do is love you
I just want to take you there Baby, I don't want to argue Don't even want to fight I just want to love you And hold you all the night The message from the party Nothing to do with how... Try to keep it happy Then depress yourself to cry All I want to do is love you You've got to move on up All I want to do is love you I just want to take you there The world is trying to make us Go against our will There's too many mountains Grown up from a hill Just take nothing less Than the second best Do not obey What most people say 'Cause you can pass the test All I want to do is love you Baby, we've got to move on up We've got to move on up All I want to do is love you I just want to take you there It feels like I'm already there The world is trying to make us Go against our will It's early in our language Of how the human feels I just want to love you I just want to cry Son tresmil razones para darte mi amor Tresmil razones para darte el corazon Tresmil razones para darte mi amor Tresmil razones para darte el corazon |

Now it's always the right time
With something positive in your mind There's always someone to pull you down You just get back up and hold your ground. If there's ever something bad you don't wanna see Just keep on walking and let it be. I don't wanna hear 'bout all that's bad 'Cause all that's bad just makes me sad So every little once in a while Show some love and make me smile Cry sometimes with tears of joy Sure would help now where they fall. Summer, winter, or just cold Through the rain and through the snow Let's get on back to livin' again, right on Just get on back to livin' again Get on back, get on back. Wherever life takes me I don't know, hey Just give me a truth and let me grow, ooh I have these feelings in myself, hey I am sure there must be someone else. Shootin' guns in prison life Is that what you want, well, Jesus Christ? It's best for you to get back on track There ain't no need in lookin' back, don't look back So you're tryin' hard, well try again Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win Just remember by and by, just remember It's best to keep a lateral high. So summer, winter, or just cold Through the rain and through the snow Let's get on back to livin' again, right on Just get on back to livin' again Get on back, get on back. If you're feelin' inferior, hey Make yourself superior If you practice, baby, all the time, No one can think what's on your mind. Tossin' and fightin' all the time. Do you really want some peace of mind? Remember back as a little kid? There was so much fun in what we did! Summer, winter, or just cold Through the rain and through the snow Let's get on back to livin' again, right on Just get on back to livin' again Get on back, get on back. Let's get on back to livin' again, right on Just get on back to livin' again Get on back, get on back. Let's get on back to livin' again, right on Just get on back to livin' again Get on back, get on back. Let's get on back to livin' again, right on Go ahead Mayfield |

Billy Jack Can't be no fun (can't be no fun) To be shot, shot with a hand gun Body sprawled out, you without a doubt Running people out, there on the floor, oh oh oh Ah! Ah!

Eddie, you should know better
Brother, you know you're wrong Think of the tears and fears You bring to your folks back home They'd say, "where did he go wrong, my Lord?" We planned and worked hard From the very start Tried to make him better Than all the rest But the brother proved to be So much less Eddie is everybody's friend But sometimes we wonder now and then The only time he'll choose you When theres's something to lose through His personal loss And the friend pays the cost All the time Must be something' that's freezin' his mind That has made him, through greed, so very blind And I don't think he's gonna make it this time |

from A Tribute To Curtis Mayfield [tribute] (1994)
From nowhere through the caravan
Round the campfire light Lovely woman in motion With hair as dark as night Her eyes were like that of a cat in the dark That hypnotized me with love She was a gypsy woman She was a gypsy woman She was a gypsy woman She was a gypsy woman She was a gypsy woman She danced around and round Guitar's melody From the fire her face was aglow How she enchanted me I'd like to hold her near And kiss her hair and whisper in her ear I love you gypsy woman I love you gypsy woman I love you gypsy woman I love you gypsy woman All through the caravan She was dancing with all the men Waiting for the rising sun Everyone was having fun Hated to see her go Knowing that she'll never know That i love her That i love her I love you gypsy woman I love you gypsy woman I love you gypsy woman I love you gypsy woman Whoever compared it to part monkey part man hit the nail on the head. it has that same kind of dark, mysterious sound. the vocals are soft and understated, somewhat reminiscent to those on if i should fall behind or pony boy. the song is sung with that nasally twang bruce has grown so fond of lately. |

From nowhere through a caravan
Around the campfire light A lovely woman in motion With hair as dark as night Her eyes were like that of a cat in the dark That hypnotized me with love She was a gypsy woman She was a gypsy woman She danced around and round to a guitar melody From the fire her face was all aglow How she enchanted me Oh, how I'd like to hold her near And kiss and forever whisper in her ear I love you, gypsy woman I love you, gypsy woman All through the caravan She was dancing with all the men Waiting for the rising sun Everyone was having fun I hate to see the lady go Knowing she'll never know That I love her, I love her She was a gypsy woman A gypsy woman A gypsy woman A gypsy woman |
