Michael Mcdonald

Listen, baby..
Ain't no mountain high, Ain't no valley low,
Ain't no river wide enough, baby
If you need me, call me, No matter where you are,
No matter how far (Don't worry Baby) Just call my name,
I'll be there in a hurry, You don't have to worry
There ain't no mountain high enough,
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough,
To keep me gettin' to you
Remember the day, I set you free..
I told you You could always count on me,
From that day on, I made a vow
I'll be there when you want me,
Some way, some how
There ain't no mountain high enough,
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough,
To keep me gettin' to you
Oh, no, darling
No wind, no rain or winter’s cold
can stop me, baby (No, no, baby)
If you’re ever in trouble,
I’ll be there on the double
Just send for me, oh, baby, huh
My love is alive, way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart
If you ever need a helpin’ hand,
I’ll be there on the double
Just as fast as I can
Ain’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough
Ain’t no river wide enough
To keep me from you gettin’ to you, baby
Ain’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough
Ain’t no river wide enough
Ain’t no mountain high enough

WHO ARE YOU
ARE YOU SOMEONE THAT I KNEW
OR DID YOU COME AND GO INSIDE A DREAM

WELL, YOU LOOK THE SAME
EVEN THOUGH YOU SAY YOU'VE CHANGED
YOU CAN'T HIDE THE SHAME OF A GUILTY HEART

CHORUS:
WELL, I KNOW THERE'S A REASON LOVE DON'T ALWAYS RHYME
SO YOU THINK BY LEAVIN' YOU'RE NOT WASTING PRECIOUS TIME
LOVE'S NOT ALWAYS HAPPINESS
SAD, BUT IT'S TRUE, GIRL
EVERY FOOL'S GOT TO LEARN HE'S GOT NOTHING TO LOSE
PLAYIN' BY THE RULES

WHAT'S YOUR PLAN
WILL YOU TRY JUST ONE MORE MAN
AND TRADE A THRILL THAT'S GONE FOR A BRAND NEW START

WILL YOU LOVE HIM ONLY
UNTIL YOU LEAVE HIM LONELY
WHEN HE TRIES TO CHANGE AND TAME YOUR RESTLESS HEART

CHORUS:

WHEN ARE YOU GONNA LEARN
THAT A LOVE IS EARNED
SOMETIMES YOU GOT TO FIGHT
BUT, OH, BABY-THAT'S ALL RIGHT

CHORUS:
I KEEP FORGETTIN' WE'RE NOT IN LOVE ANYMORE
I KEEP FORGETTIN' THINGS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN
I KEEP FORGETTIN' HOW YOU MADE THAT SO CLEAR
I KEEP FORGETTIN'

EVERYTIME YOU'RE NEAR
EVERYTIME I SEE YOU SMILE
HEAR YOUR "HELLO"
SAYING YOU CAN ONLY STAY A WHILE

HEY, I KNOW THAT IT'S HARD FOR YOU
TO SAY THE THINGS THAT WE BOTH KNOW ARE TRUE
BUT TELL ME HOW COME (I)

CHORUS:

EVERYTIME I HEAR
HOW YOU NEVER WANT TO LIVE A LIE
HOW IT'S GONE TOO FAR
AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME WHY

WHY YOU'RE GONE AND WHY THE GAME IS THROUGH
IF THIS IS WHAT'S REAL, IF THIS IS WHAT'S TRUE
TELL ME HOW COME (I)

CHORUS:

DON'T SAY THAT, DON'T SAY THAT, DON'T SAY THAT
I KNOW YOU'RE NOT MINE ANYMORE-ANYWAY-ANYTIME
BUT TELL ME HOW COME (I)

CHORUS:

What's that lyin' on her pillow
Folded up so neat
What once was love is now a letter
Lying where she used to sleep
Oh, I thought love was something I could count on
But it took her to show me that

[Chorus:]
Love lies-right to your face
Love lies-just when I had faith
It would let me down
I know that love lies-right to the end
Love lies-I know the word will never mean the same to me

What's this emptiness inside me
Where her promise used to be
She said she'd be here to guide me
I guess now the joke's on me
Oh, I thought love was something like devotion
But it took her to show me that

[Chorus]

Just when you think you know what love is about
Someone takes your place, and you find that

[Chorus]

MAYBE IT'S TRUE WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT IT
MAYBE WE CAN'T MAKE THE ENDS MEET
MAYBE WE'LL ALL HAVE TO DO WITHOUT IT
MAYBE THIS WORLD'S JUST INCOMPLETE

STILL WE ALL LOOK FOR THE TRUTH IN OUR LIVES
SEARCHING FROM DIFFERENT SIDES
SO HARD LIVING IN A DESPERATE WORLD
BUT WE ALL DO THE BEST THAT WE CAN

CHORUS 1:
SOME PEOPLE SEE A CHANGE
SOME WILL REMAIN THE SAME
BUT ALL OF THEM LIVE THEIR LIVES UNDER THE GUN
SOME SEE THE ROAD AS CLEAR
SOME SAY THE END IS HERE
THEY SAY IT'S A HOPELESS FIGHT, WELL I SAY I GOTTA TRY

MAYBE THERE'S TOO MUCH TO THINK ABOUT IT
MAYBE THERE AIN'T NOTHIN' LEFT TO SAY
BUT IF OUR TIME'S REALLY RUNNIN' OUT
THEN THIS IS NO TIME TO RUN AWAY

'CAUSE WE'RE DESTINED TO LOOK FOR THE TRUTH IN THIS LIFE
BLINDED BY TEARFUL EYES
IF IT'S NO USE TRYIN' IN A DESPERATE WORLD
THEN TELL ME WHY WAS I BORN

CHORUS 2:
SOME PEOPLE SEE A CHANGE
SOME WILL REMAIN THE SAME
BUT ALL OF THEM LIVE THEIR LIVES UNDER THE GUN
SOME SEE THE ROAD AS CLEAR
SOME SAY THE END IS HERE
THEY SAY IT'S A HOPELESS FIGHT, BUT I SAY I GOTTA TRY

LONELY-LIVING TOO LONELY
IS IT TOO LATE
TO TURN IT ALL AROUND

CHORUS 2:

SOMEONE'S TRYIN'
SOMEONE'S CRYIN' OUT
WHILE WE LIVE UNDER THE GUN
SOMEONE'S LIVIN'
SOMEONE'S GIVIN' UP

It was so right, it was so wrong
Almost at the same time
The pain and ache a heart can take
No one really knows

When the memories cling and keep you there
Till you no longer care
And you can let go now

It's wrong for me to cling to you
Somehow I just needed time
From what was to be-it's not like me
To hold somebody down

But I was tossed high by love
I almost never came down
Only to land here
Where love's no longer found
Where I'm no longer bound
And I can let go now

LOOK BACK LONELINESS, YOU WON'T SEE ME BEHIND YOU
HEY NOW EMPTINESS, NO MORE LEADING THE WAY
GO ON DESPERATENESS, I DON'T NEED YOU BESIDE ME NO MORE

COME ON HAPPINESS, I CAN FEEL YOU GAINING GROUND
HEY NOW FOOLISHNESS, I MIGHT KEEP YOU AROUND
GO ON EMPTINESS, I WON'T LOOK BEHIND ME NO MORE

I DON'T RULE YOU OUT, I KNOW YOU'RE THERE
BUT I'M ON TO YOU NOW

CHORUS:
THAT'S WHY, I WON'T BE DOWN VERY LONG
THAT'S WHY, I'LL BE ALL RIGHT FROM NOW ON
THAT'S WHY, I GET STRONGER EVERYTIME
THAT'S WHY, I KNOW THIS HEART WILL SURVIVE
AFTER YOU'RE GONE

YOU KNOW I BELIEVE ALL WE REALLY HAVE IS TIME
NO USE WORRYING, NO USE WONDERING WHY
'CAUSE THROUGH IT ALL, WE'RE ONLY HERE TO LAUGH AND CRY
IT'S MEANT TO BE THAT FAILURE ONLY BRINGS ANOTHER WAY
EVERY HEARTACHE ALWAYS HAS ANOTHER DAY
COME ON LONELINESS, I DON'T NEED TO HIDE YOU NO MORE

I DON'T RULE YOU OUT, I KNOW YOU'RE THERE
BUT I'M ON TO YOU NOW

CHORUS:

HOW DO I PLEASE YOU
HOW DO I PLEASE YOU
HOW DO I PLEASE YOU
HOW DO I PLEASE YOU
GIRL, IN YOUR ONE WAY HEART
IN YOUR ONE TRACK MIND
HOW DO I PLEASE YOU
HOW DO I PLEASE YOU

OH, WHEN I SAY THAT YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE
I'M NOT TRYIN' TO FOOL YOU, BABY
WELL, I'M ONLY HERE TO GET THE JOB DONE
'CAUSE YOU'RE SO USED TO GETTING WHAT YOU WANT
WELL, LOOK NO FURTHER, BABY

CHORUS 1:
IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES
I DON'T NEED TO KNOW ANYMORE
AIN'T NO DOUBT ABOUT IT
THAT'S WHAT I CAME HERE FOR

SO HOW DO I PLEASE YOU
HOW DO I PLEASE YOU
GIRL, IN YOUR ONE WAY HEART
IN YOUR ONE TRACK MIND
HOW DO I PLEASE YOU
HOW DO I PLEASE YOU

WELL, I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE LIFE YOU LEAD
BUT IT AIN'T ENOUGH JUST TO OFFER MY HEART
GIRL, I KNOW I COULD GET YOU WHAT YOU NEED
'CAUSE YOU'RE SO USE TO GETTING WHAT YOU WANT
WELL, LOOK NO FURTHER, BABY

CHORUS 1:

CHORUS 2:
IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES
I AIN'T GONNA LOSE ANY TIME
WHATEVER YOU WANT FROM ME, BABY
WHATEVER IT TAKES TO MAKE YOU MINE

If we could dream our lives away
That would be just fine
Without the cares and fears that prey on everybody's mind

Tryin' to get back to a memory
Tryin' to put the flame back in our hearts
As we look back and we see the past
Like it never was

[Chorus:]
'cause it's no such luck
There ain't no such thing
Can't blame the stars or fever of spring
No such luck
There ain't no such thing
Something's always goin' wrong

We're just one step ahead of the heartaches|
Tryin' to disguise how they take their toll
Just when you think that you got it down
Then you lose control

[Chorus]

There aren't enough words to say
When all I mean is I no longer love you
I'd like to leave it lie right there
'cause the rest ain't kind

I'm picking up my pride and I'll be on my way
If you no longer need me
I only have a word or two that I care to say

If you should ever find your spirit breaking
Girl, when your heart is aching
Remember me, I was your fool
For really quite a long time
So I know how it feels to play
On the losin' end

When you finally turn and find no one around
To catch you when you're falling
To hear you when you're calling
From down on the losin' end
Oh, ain't it just the losin' end

It's hard to bet your life on love
When all we learn is how to keep on moving
And the odds are never good enough
For all we know, nothing lasts forever in this life

Show me one thing that will never fade away
What goes with the fall, returns with the spring
This whole world is made that way
Who's to know if love will stay

[Chorus:]
But there's nothing quite like this
That I've ever known
And I believe in it
There's no way out of it
I can't let go
Because I believe in it

We second guess the things we see
When all too soon you know time will show
If love was never meant to be
Then we can't hide before too long
We'll know if it was right

Show me one thing that will never fade away
What goes with the fall, returns with the spring
This whole world is made that way
Who's to know if love will stay

(Peter Leinheiser And Michael McDonald)

It's not enough, there's never enough...

As we look out on a world
Full of people, places and things
They seem so important to us
There's no harm in that girl
But for all the joy it can bring
We know that's not all we're gonna find
But when it comes to you and me
I know the most important part
Is what we have in our hearts

Baby it's all we really need
When all those things are never enough
In this world of everything or nothin' baby
Remember, this love is all we got, babe

As we travel down the road
To make our dreams come true
We know that things are gonna change
But when it comes to you and me
If we look back to the start
When all we shared was in our hearts

We could have a house in the country
We could drive a big fine car
We could set our sights on tomorrow
We could hitch a ride on the brightest star
'cause all those things could never be enough
In this world of everything or nothing
Remember baby, this love is all we got
This love is all we got, babe

When it comes to money

Fame...

Power...

People, places and things
This love is all we got

(David Pack And Michael McDonald)

When the morning breaks with the rising sun
Our past mistakes are gonna be undone
'cause no other love could have opened my eyes
To the simple joy of just being alive

'cause in this world it still takes love to get the word started
Talkin' 'bout change just ain't enough to get the word started
We gotta show the world what we're made of, get the word started
These times are gonna get rough, so get the word started
Right now

When shadows fall, our love will shine
On all the good things baby that are left to find
If we don't believe that have half a chance
Then all hopes and dreams are gonna slip through our hands

(Paul Carrack And Michael McDonald)

With a future as bright as we see
We got to go in with our eyes open wide
For as good as love can be
I can't help being afraid in the back of my mind
For all the dreams we see come true
Girl there's one thing that can't be denied

Baby, we've got a long road ahead
We haven't even started yet
Which makes it easy to forget

Baby, love can break your heart
I know it will baby
Love can break your heart
That's just the other side of it
Love can break your heart
So give it all you can give
'cause nothing short of that will do
So it's gotta be worth it to me
It's gotta be worth it to you

I know we can read all the signs
But after all only time's gonna tell

Girl, I'm not afraid to take a chance
Put my heart into your hands
As long as we both understand

...that's gotta be good enough for me
Girl that's gotta be good enough for you

So it's gotta be worth it to me
It's gotta be worth it to you

I know that you're afraid to love
You've been hurt before
Love broke your heart so you closed the door
Now here I am outside your world

Wishin' you'd let me in
Give me half a chance to prove you wrong
Baby, all your tears have come and gone
Talkin' 'bout a brand new start

Take it to heart, baby, believe it
This love is so strong that it won't let you go
Baby, hold on, you'll see
Just how good it's gonna be

It's gonna be here long as you need it
Never take your world and tear it apart
Take it to heart, baby

You're gonna have to trust someone
It's a shame if you don't
Because it ain't no life living all alone
Let me show you how to love again

There's no broken heart that love won't mend
Talkin' 'bout a brand new start
I just want to be the one that'll be there by your side
So take this love of mine, take it to heart

Baby, believe it, this love is so strong, love is so strong, baby

(love is a second chance to find all that we lost)
(Love's always worth a try no matter what the cost)
(I know you don't believe your tears have come and gone)
(Give me but half a chance and I will prove you wrong)

(Gardner Cole And Seth Swirsky)

Now I need your touch tonight
Nobody else will do
The time is right
Love's a game and we're both in it
Playin' for real, we will win it
Gonna show them how it's meant to be

We're gonna make it together
We're gonna tear it up
Take it to the limit girl
We're gonna make it together
We're gonna tear it up
Never see the finish

Now tomorrow seems so bright
The future's lookin' good for us
We have a chance
If our faith is true and we don't break it
No one else could ever shake it
What we have will last eternally

True love forever, shine your light this way
And we'll stay together
Passion is all it takes to make it real
And it's what we're feelin'

(Chuck Sabatino And Michael McDonald)

From a promise to a lie
From lies to regret
Turn your back on truth baby
And that's always what you get
A man could drown in a love so deep baby

I'm not beggin' you to stay
It's just lonely talk
You don't hear a word I say
You just turn and walk away baby
If I'm on my knees and prayin'
To the lord above
When he listens to my prayer
He knows that it's just lonely talk

Well, I call your name
And I cry all night
Well, it's of no concern to you baby
Now that I'm out of your sight
A man could drown in a love so deep baby

(Darrell Brown And Michael McDonald)

So long ago that you can hardly remember
So far away but not so out of mind
And you're still waiting to be forgiven
Whose problem is it after all this time

Down deep inside, if I were in your shoes
I know in my heart, I'd never do that to you
It's time to decide, if I still wanna try
If love's gonna last, there's one thing I gotta find

I'm searchin' for understanding
I'm lookin' for understanding

I'm sorry that my feelings are still so tender
The things they make me do, and make me say
I know in time that all things get better
But 'til then this may be the price you have to pay

Down deep inside, if I were in your shoes
I know in my heart, I'd never do that to you
It's time to decide, what we're gonna do
If love's gonna last, there's something I need from you

So easily trust can be broken
Not so when a heart's got to mend
Your love was the one thing I believed in

Will it ever be the same again

(Ed Sanford And Michael McDonald)

He was born on the wrong side
Where hopelessness breeds
Where pride is hard to come by
And violence fills a need

Lord, what can the future be
Lookin' from his point of view
'cause here on these desperate streets
Better a short lived legend
Then a long life played for a fool

Homeboy wants to rule the hot town
And the innocent will fall
When the santa ana blows across the killin' ground
It sweeps away what mercy
Is left to be found

A child on a corner
An instrument of greed
Seduced before knowing
The harsh reality

Lord, what will the answer be
Is there nothing we can do
To save him on these desperate streets
Better a long life of tryin'
Than a short life playin' to lose

(George Hawkins And Michael McDonald)

I try to see you clearly
But I just turn the other cheek
Though I love you dearly
I'm only losin' sleep
What am I supposed to learn
From a broken heart
What have you to gain
By tearin' my world apart
Don't you know that...

No amount of tears
Could ever wash away
No amount of heartache
Could ever make love fade
Girl there's nothin' I can do
I just can't quit loving you
And no amount of reason
Could change the way I feel

I should've heard the message
That you tried to send to me
For all its best intentions
Love gives no guarantee
What am I supposed to do
Now that you're gone
For all we've been through
Still I keep holdin' on
All I know is...

(Tom Whitlock And Chris Thompson)

To a restless heart, it's been a long time comin'
For a dreamers dream, I would keep on runnin'
I know it's right to be with you, save me

One step away from the promised land
Reach out and take my hand
I need you darlin'
Never been this close to love before
Never needed anybody more than I need you darlin'

Through a lonely heart there's a fire burning
And the dream of dreams sees love returning
I know it's right to be with you forever

...one step, one step away
I need you darlin'
Never been this close to love before
Never needed anybody more than I need you darlin'

(Harry Garfield And Michael McDonald)

Not every hope is a dream come true
Not every heart is made of steel
Not all love sees the end of time
And more hearts than not will be broken tryin'

But I believe that love is enough
In the healing of your touch
Because you show me
What it's all about
I would never find out
Unless you showed me

How easily we complicate the simple things
And one mistake we make along the way
Is to think there's so much more we need
Of things that time only takes away

Here all that we have is now
We learn to believe somehow
It's enough we have today
All I know is time changes everything
Whatever tomorrow brings
I will believe...

No greater power
No greater gift to lose
Than the message unspoken
The silence of the truth
Alone we hide in the shadows
But together we bring on the light

One voice is not strong enough
One heart just won't do
In this world I don't count for much
Unless I stand for you
(Standing)
Unless I stand for you
(Standing)

Oh, we are the beginning
Of a sound that might be heard
To the many who lie waiting
Our words break through
The cold grip of silence
And they guide us through the night

One voice is not strong enough
One heart just won't do
In this world I don't count for much
Unless I stand for you

One choice is all we got
One fact remains true
In this world I don't count for much
Unless I stand for you

Not another minute
Not another hour
We're gonna rise on up
Every man, woman and child

(I believe that the time has come)
We got to stand together
(I believe that the time has come)
(I believe that the time has come)
(I believe that the time has come)
Oh, I stand for you
(Standing)
I'm standing for you
(Standing)
(Standing)
We're gonna stir it up
(Standing)

Alone we hide in the shadows
But together we bring on the light

One voice is not strong enough
One heart just won't do
In this world I don't count for much
Unless I stand for you, hmmm
Unless I stand for you
(I'm standing)
(I'm standing)
I'm standing for my brother
I stand for you
(I'm standing)
I stand for you
(I'm standing)
I'm standing for you
(I'm standing)
I'm standing for my sister
(I'm standing)
I stand for you

(Michael McDonald)

The world goes mad around us
As I stand by and watch you sleep
In the hope that harm won't find us
I pray the lord our souls to keep
Does he see us here?
Are we precious in his sight?
Or are we merely dust on this tiny ball?
He hurled out into the night
Somewhere east of eden

From the first time that we stumble
We learn that nothing is assured
However hopelessly we tumble
It's by the grace of god that we endure
If there's some better place
Far from all that's wrong
But if god in his wisdom
Saw fit to put you here
Then here is where I belong
Somewhere east of eden

Maybe he laughs in our face
By way of the cold hard fact
That these moments framed in time and space
Are the same ones nothing can bring back

Maybe we exist and wonder through this world
Just to lead each other home
From somewhere east of eden

(Michael McDonald)

You say sometimes you feel like searchin'
For what you think you need
If you go searchin' for life's reward
You'll wind up sailin' the seven seas
'cause here and now when lightning strikes
And it drives us to our knees
Only then do we realize
What we don't always see

That even now in our darkesr hour
We've got the whole universe in our hands
Of all the choices we could make
If we do the lovin' thing

Someday when we look back on this
I doubt if we'll remember much
About the times we hurt each other
The reasons we forgot to trust
There's more to us than that

Sometimes I may try to be
Though I know I'm not your answer
But I'm not your problem either baby
In that way we're all the same
And I know if I surrender
It's a lesson we must learn
A simple truth we can understand

Someday when we look back on this
Far enough away to see
That the most we could ask of this life
The best that we can hope to be
Is to be grateful for love so clear
Like a mirror reflects your face
If you search for the tracks of your tears
I know you won't find a trace
There's more to us than that

Every single tear
Every shattered dream
They're just like pieces of a puzzle
Of themselves not what they seem
Even in our darkest hour
I doubt if we'll remember much
About the times we hurt each other
The reasons we forgot to trust

(Paul Buchanan)
It's the middle of the night
It's been a long hard day
I see you walk my way
Say it baby
I want you...
The jukebox laughing low
At the sad motel
Knows that I can't break your spell
Say it baby
I want you...
It's my life and I know
Even though you don't show me
Am I right?
Am I wrong to believe in you?
Yeah yeah
Say it baby
I want you...

(Michael McDonald)

Why do we look so hard?
Why do we ask so much?
In this world, it's sad in a way
How time unblesses love, and faith is lost

There's no more prayin' for saving grace to find us
No more waiting for conscience to remind us
There are few things meaningless as words
At the point of no return

Why do we want so much?
Can we be satisfied?
In this life how many times
Can we pass the promised land, forever lost?

There's no more prayin' for saving grace to find us
No more waiting for conscience to remind us
There are few things meaningless as words
At the point of no return

We are lost between faith and hope
Between heart and mind, between love and pride
Eventually, the day will come
When lies won't buy time
Tears won't bring hope
When there's no more prayin'...

Nowhere to run or do what we've done before
There are few things meaningless as words
At the point of no return

We are lost between faith and hope
Between heart and mind, between love and pride

(Michael McDonald)

Broken heart, bloodshot stare,
Signs of a fool who cared too much
Now she's gone and he can't remember
How to live without her touch
Hopin' to die but surely livin' to tell
'cause when it comes to matters of the heart
There is nothing a fool won't get used to

After all the whiskey and wisdom he could swallow
He thought it was time to start loving again
So he found someone and prayed his heart would follow
But he could hardly do more than pretend
And though she knew in her heart that his love was lie
When it comes to matters of the heart
There is nothing a fool won't get used to

Well, of all the things love teaches
Of all the ways that it opens our eyes
No more profound than the lesson he learned
The day she walked out of his life
When the road gets most narrow
It's then he remembers her smile
And he sees these words forming on her lips
Across a river of tears he once cried

'cause when it comes to matters of the heart
There is nothing a fool won't get used to
No there is nothing a fool won't get used to

(Carole King And Gerry Goffin)

Hey girl, I want you to know
I'm gonna miss you so much if you go
Hey girl, I'll tell you no lie
Something deep inside of me's 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, now sit yourself down
I'm not afraid to get down on the ground
And beg you, beg you to stay
Don't go away

(Chuck Sabatino And Michael McDonald)

What makes a man
Believe in a brighter day
When his whole world is fallin' apart
All promise is fading away
What does it take,
To turn his heart to stone
When he's got more than his share of riches
More than one life can hold

Sometimes it takes
More than we've got it seems
Something so close, so near
Even a blind man sees

If it takes a hand strong and mighty
To spin this world around
It takes the power of a woman's sweet love
To make a man hold on

What makes a man
Hang his hope on someone
To bring the light out of darkness
Makes him believe a change is gonna come

Something inside that just won't let go
Something so simple, so sweet,
Even a fool would know

If it takes a hand strong and mighty
To spin this world around
It takes the power of a woman's sweet love

To bring joy out of pain
To let sunshine through rain
To bring hope back to the heart
To bring together what's fallin' apart

She's got the kind of kisses
To make a weak man strong
She's got the kind of love
To make a good man go wrong
She's got what it takes

Child, as I look in your eyes
You know my life seems like a minute
There I find living proof
Of all the wonder life hold in it
In the past I thought I had to learn
Any good that comes from this life we're living
Here and now, let us realize
That this life's gift and it's already been given

[Chorus:]
Someday when you stand in the middle
Like it or not you're gonna look both ways
You're gonna find that time is a riddle
Where days turn into years
And years into the blink of an eye

Child, once I saw a man on the tv
Lead a nation up a mountain
He said, children, look over yonder
The flame of truth is burning brightly
Sometimes you look so far, there's only so much time
Only so many of us are gonna get there
Here and now is all we really have
But if we can make it count
We got no reason to worry

[Chorus]

You're gonna walk that mile
You're gonna be in that number
You're gonna make that journey
Just like the good book says
There's a time to be born, a time to cross over
You can be sure it's in the blink of an eye

(Will Jennings And Michael McDonald)

This love is the only thing
Pinning our future to the past
What we have will always be
The part of this living that lasts

Baby, here I stand unafraid
To forsake this world for your tenderness
I'm reachin' out, I can't give up

Sometimes it seems to me
That this world is only where we start
For all it's wonder I still believe
The answer lies deep within our hearts

Baby, here I stand unafraid
To give myself, to be set free
In love we find, there is no end
We've always been
We'll always be everlasting

Everlasting
We are everlasting
Everlasting
We are everlasting

Baby, here I stand unafraid
To forsake this world for your tenderness

I'm reachin' out, I can't give up
'cause nothing matters

(Michael McDonald)

Love is the answer to a child
Just as hope is the answer to us all
But it's there at the beginning
That we learn to hope at all
And god help us if we don't

[Chorus:]
Tell me where is this place
From which there's no return
What can we know of another road
From the one that we made
With our anger and our rage
We dare not go where there is no hope
Not even for a child

If dreams fly over the rainbow
Truth lies waiting for us all
If siren's voices cloud our reason
Can we still resist their call
'cause god help us if we don't

[Chorus]

For so many people livin' their whole lives
Waiting to be saved
For so many chilren taking that short trip

Ooh, I bet you wonder how I knew
About your plans to make me blue with
some other guy that you knew before
Between the two of us guys
You know I love you more
It took me by surprise I must say
When I found out yesterday
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah

You know that
a man ain't supposed to cry
But these tears I can't hold inside
Losing you would end my life you see
Cause you mean that much to me
You could have told me yourself
That you found someone else, instead

I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah

People say you "Half from what you see
None, none, none from what you hear."
I can't help being confused
If it's true, won't you tell me dear
Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy that you knew before
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah

전에 알고 지내던 그 남자 문제로
나를 언짢게 하려던 당신 생각을
내가 어떻게 알았는지 궁금할거에요
그 남자와 나 중에서 내가 당신을
더 사랑한다는 걸 알잖아요
어제 사실을 알고 나서
난 놀랄 수밖에 없었어요

소문으로 들었어요
당신은 곧 내 사랑이 되었을텐데
소문을 듣고
난 미칠 것 같았어요
당신 정말...

남자는 울어선 안 된다는 걸
당신도 알겠지만
이 눈물은 안으로 숨길 수가 없군요
당신이 떠나면 내 삶도 끝장이에요
당신은 내게 너무 커다란 존재거든요
다른 사람이 생겼다고 내게 직접
말해 줬어야죠, 그 대신 나는

소문으로 들었어요
당신은 곧 내 사랑이 되었을텐데
소문을 듣고
난 미칠 것 같았어요
당신 정말...

직접 본 것은 절반은 믿을 수 있어도
들은 건 절대 믿지 말라고들 하지만
난 뭐가 뭔지 모르겠어요
사실이라면 내게 말해 봐요
전에 알던 그 남자 때문에
나를 떠날 작정인가요

소문으로 들었어요
당신은 곧 내 사랑이 되었을텐데
소문을 듣고
난 미칠 것 같았어요
당신 정말...

Oh darling
I want to be everything to you
You are everything
You are my everything
Today I saw somebody
Who looked just like you
He walked like you do
I thought it was you
As he turned the corner
I called out your name
I felt so ashamed
When it wasn't you
Wasn't you
You are everything
And everything is you
Oh, you are everything
And everything is you
Oh you are everything
And everything is you
How can I forget
When each face that I see
Brings back memories
Of being with you
I just can't go on
Living life as I do
Comparing each girl with you
Knowing they just won't do
They're not you

Like a fool I went and stayed too long
Now I'm wondering if your love's still strong
Oo baby, here I am, signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours

Then that time I went and said goodbye
Now I'm back and not ashamed to cry
Oo baby, here I am, signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours

Here I am baby
Oh, you've got the future in your hand
(signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours)

Here I am baby,
Oh, you've got the future in your hand
(signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours)

I've done alot of foolish things
That I really didn't mean
Hey, hey, yea, yea, didn't i, oh baby

Seen alot of things in this old world
When I touched them they did nothing, girl
Oo baby, here I am, signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours, oh I'm yours

Oo-wee babe you set my soul on fire
That's why I know you are my only desire
Oo baby, here I am, signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours

Here I am baby
Oh, you've got the future in your hand
(signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours)

Here I am baby,
Oh, you've got the future in your hand
(signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours)

I've done alot of foolish things
That I really didn't mean
I could be a broken man but here I am

With your future, got your future babe (here I am baby)
Here I am baby (signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours)
Here I am baby, (here I am baby)
Here I am baby (signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours)
Here I am baby, (here I am baby)
Here I am baby (signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours)

I'm gonna do all the things for you, a girl wants a man to do.
Oh, baby (Oh, baby)
I'll sacrifice for you, I'll even do wrong for you.
Oh, baby (Oh, baby)

Every minute, every hour.
I'm gonna shower you with love and affection.
Look out it's coming in your direction.
And I'm... I'm gonna make you love me.
Oh, yes I will.
Yes I will.
I'm gonna make you love me.
Oh, yes I will.
Yes I will.

Look it here.
My love is strong, you see.
I know you'll never get tired of me.
Oh, baby (Sho' won't) (Oh baby)
And I'm gonna use every trick in the book.
I'll try my best to get you hooked.
Hey, baby (Take me I'm yours) (Hey, baby)

And every night, every day.
I'm gonna say.
I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you.
Look out boy, 'cause I'm gonna get you.

I'm gonna make you love me.
Ooo, yes I will.
Yes I will.
And I'm gonna make you love me.
Ooo, 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 we are apart.
I'll hunger for every wasted hour.

And every night and every day.
I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you.
Look out 'cause I'm gonna get you.

And I'm gonna make...
I'm gonna make you love me.
Oh, oh. (Yes I will)
I'm gonna make you love me.
Ooo, yes I will. Yes I will.
I'm gonna make you love me.
Yes I will. (Yes I will)
Ooo, I'm gonna make you love me.
Yes I will.
Yes I will.

Ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothin' like the real thing, no, no
Ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby (Ain't nothin')
Ain't nothin' like the real thing

Ooh, I've got your picture hangin' on my wall
But it can't see or come to me
When I call your name (When I call your name)
I realize it's just a picture in a frame

I read your letters when you're not near
But they don't move me and they don't groove me
Like when I hear (When I'm in your arms)
Your sweet voice whispering in my ear (In my ear)

No other sound
Is quite the same as your name (Quite the same as your name)
No touch can do half as much to make me feel better
So let's stay together

Ooh, I've got memories (Memories) to look back on
Though they help when you're gone
I'm well aware (I'm well aware)
Nothin' can take the place of you being there (Being there)

Ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby (Ain't nothin')
Ain't nothin' like the real thing, ooh baby
Ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby (Ain't nothin')
Ain't nothin' like the real thing

Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time
I see reflections of you and me

Reflections of the way life used to be
Reflections of the love you took from me

I'm all alone now
No love to shield me
Trapped in a world that's
a distorted reality.

Happiness you took from me
and left me alone
with only memories.

Through the mirror of my mind
Through these tears that I'm crying
Reflects the hurt I can't control
Cause although you're gone
I keep holding on
to the happy times
ooh when you were mine

AS I peer out through the window
of lost time
Looking over my yesteryear
And all this love I gave all in vain

(all the love) All the love I've wasted
(all those tears) All the tears that I've tasted
(ooh ,ooh) All in vain
(all in vain , till nothing remains)

Through the hollow of my tears
I see a dream that's lost
From the hurt
That you have caused

Everywhere I turn
seems like everything I see
Reflects the love that used to be
In you I put all my faith and trust
and right before my eyes my world has turned to dust

After all those nights I sat alone and wept
Just a hand full of promises and all that's left of loving you

Reflections of
the way life used to be
Reflections of
the love you took from me
in you I put all my faith and trust
right before my eyes my world was turned to dust
Reflections of...

How sweet it is to be loved by you. How sweet it is to be loved by you.
I needed the shelter of someone's arms and there you were.
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs and there you were.
With sweet love and devotion, deeply touching my emotion,
I want to stop and thank you baby. I want to stop and thank you baby.
How sweet it is to be loved by you. How sweet it is to be loved by you.
I close my eyes at night wondering where would I be without you in my life.
Everything I did was just a bore, everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before.
But you brighten up for me all of my days with a love so sweet in so many ways,
I want to stop and thank you baby, I just want to stop and thank you baby.
How sweet it is to be loved by you, feels so fine. How sweet it is to be loved by you.
You were better for me than I was for myself,
for me, there's you and there ain't nobody else,
I want to stop and thank you baby. I just want to stop and thank you baby, yes I do,
how sweet it is to be loved by you. How sweet it is to be loved by you.
Feels so fine, how sweet it is to be loved by you.
Just like jelly baby, oh yeah, how sweet it is to be loved by you.
Just like honey to the bee, babe, how sweet it is to be loved by you.

All is fair in love
Love's a crazy game
Two people vow to stay
In love as one they say
But all is changed with time
The future no one can see
The road you leave behind
Ahead lies mystery
But all is fair in love
I had to go away
A writer takes his pen
To write the words again
That all in love is fair
All of fate's a chance
It's either good or bad
I tossed my coin to say
In love with me you'd stay
But all in war is so cold
You either win or lose
When all is put away
The loosing side I'll play
But all is fair in love
I should never have left your side
A writer takes his pen
To write the words again
That all in love is fair
A writer takes his pen
To write the words again
That all in love is fair

(Paul Buchanan)
It's the middle of the night
It's been a long hard day
I see you walk my way
Say it baby
I want you...
The jukebox laughing low
At the sad motel
Knows that I can't break your spell
Say it baby
I want you...
It's my life and I know
Even though you don't show me
Am I right?
Am I wrong to believe in you?
Yeah yeah
Say it baby
I want you...

You know, when you're in love and your lover leaves you
And you've got nobody, the lonely hours over here
Sittin' home and thinkin', you say:
Distant lover, darlin', ooo hoo hoo
So many miles away, ooo please
Oh please, baby, think about me
Hey, in misery
Oh say, baby, as I reminisce about your life
That we shared together
The promises we made, baby
Of the day you left, child
Then all of a sudden, if it may seem to explode
Now I gaze out my window, sugar, down a lonesome road, ooo
Distant lover, ooo, sugar
How can you treat my heart so mean and cruel
Didn't you know, sugar, that I dream
Of what I spent with you
I treasure it like it was a precious jewel, oh baby
Lord have mercy!
Oh baby, don't go
Please come back, baby
Ooo, something I wanna say
When you left to go away
No 'ther do I want, do you wanna have me plead and scream
Please! Please, oh please baby
Come back home, girl
Oh baby, come back
Oh oh

Shattered dreams, worthless years,
Here am I encased inside a hollow shell,
Life began, then was done,
Now I stare into a cold and empty well
The many sounds that meet our ears
the sights our eyes behold,
Will open up our merging hearts,
And feed our empty souls
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever,
I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever
Without despair we will share,
And the joys of caring will not be replaced,
What has been must never end
And with the strength we have won't be erased
When the truths of love are planted firm,
They won't be hard to find,
And the words of love I speak to you
will echo in your mind
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever,
I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever,
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever
I'm so glad that I found someone to believe in again,
I'm so glad that I found someone to believe in again
God surely answered my prayer,
God surely answered by prayer,
You know God surely answered my prayer,
You know God surely answered my prayer,
God always will answer your prayers,
Believe in one who will answer my prayer,
Thank you God
Come on, let's fall in love,
You're the woman I've been waiting for,
Come on, let's fall in love,
You're the girl that I really adore,
Come on, let's fall in love...

The sun is shining, there's plenty of light (oh yeah)
A new day is dawning, sunny and bright (oh yeah)
But after I've been crying all night
The sun is cold, and the new day seems old
Since I lost my baby. (Since I lost my baby.)
Oh, since I lost my baby. (Oh, since I lost my baby.)

The birds are singing and the children are playing
There's plenty of work and the bosses are paying
Not a sad word should a young heart be saying
But fun is a bore and with money I'm poor.

Since I lost my baby. (Since I lost my baby.)
Oh, since I lost my baby. (Oh, since I lost my baby.)
Next time I'll be kinder (Next time I'll be kinder)
Won't you please help me find her (Won't you please help me find her)
Someone just remind her (Someone just remind her)
Of this love she left behind her (Of this love she left behind her)
Till I find her I'll be trying ta (Till I find her I'll be trying ta)
Everyday I'm more inclined ta
Find her
Inclined ta
Find her
Inclined ta find my baby
Been looking everywhere (ba--by)
Baby, I really, really care!

Oh, determination is fading fast (oh yeah)
Inspiration is a thing of the past (oh yeah)
Can't see how my hope's gonna last
Good things are bad and what's happy is sad

Since I lost my baby. (Since I lost my baby.)
Oh, since I lost my baby. (Oh, since I lost my baby.)
I feel so bad (since I lost my baby)
I feel so sad (since I lost my baby)
Everything is wrong
This heart is hard to carry on (since I lost my baby)
I'm lost as can be (since I lost my baby)
What's gonna happen to me?

Ooh, I bet you wonder how I knew

If you need me, call me, No matter where you are,
No matter how far (Don't worry Baby) Just call my name,
I'll be there in a hurry, You don't have to worry
There ain't no mountain high enough,
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough,
To keep me gettin' to you
Remember the day, I set you free..
I told you You could always count on me,
From that day on, I made a vow

Some way, some how
There ain't no mountain high enough,

To keep me gettin' to you
Oh, no, darling
No wind, no rain or winter’s cold
can stop me, baby (No, no, baby)
If you’re ever in trouble,
I’ll be there on the double
Just send for me, oh, baby, huh
My love is alive, way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart
If you ever need a helpin’ hand,
I’ll be there on the double
Just as fast as I can
Ain’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough
Ain’t no river wide enough
To keep me from you gettin’ to you, baby
Ain’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough
Ain’t no river wide enough
Ain’t no mountain high enough

All is fair in love
Love's a crazy game
Two people vow to stay
In love as one they say
But all is changed with time
The future no one can see
The road you leave behind
Ahead lies mystery
But all is fair in love
I had to go away
A writer takes his pen
To write the words again
That all in love is fair
All of fate's a chance
It's either good or bad
I tossed my coin to say
In love with me you'd stay
But all in war is so cold
You either win or lose
When all is put away
The loosing side I'll play
But all is fair in love
I should never have left your side
A writer takes his pen
To write the words again
That all in love is fair
A writer takes his pen
To write the words again
That all in love is fair

(Paul Buchanan)
It's the middle of the night
It's been a long hard day
I see you walk my way
Say it baby
I want you...
The jukebox laughing low
At the sad motel
Knows that I can't break your spell
Say it baby
I want you...
It's my life and I know
Even though you don't show me
Am I right?
Am I wrong to believe in you?
Yeah yeah
Say it baby
I want you...

You know, when you're in love and your lover leaves you
And you've got nobody, the lonely hours over here
Sittin' home and thinkin', you say:
Distant lover, darlin', ooo hoo hoo
So many miles away, ooo please
Oh please, baby, think about me
Hey, in misery
Oh say, baby, as I reminisce about your life
That we shared together
The promises we made, baby
Of the day you left, child
Then all of a sudden, if it may seem to explode
Now I gaze out my window, sugar, down a lonesome road, ooo
Distant lover, ooo, sugar
How can you treat my heart so mean and cruel
Didn't you know, sugar, that I dream
Of what I spent with you
I treasure it like it was a precious jewel, oh baby
Lord have mercy!
Oh baby, don't go
Please come back, baby
Ooo, something I wanna say
When you left to go away
No 'ther do I want, do you wanna have me plead and scream
Please! Please, oh please baby
Come back home, girl
Oh baby, come back
Oh oh

Shattered dreams, worthless years,
Here am I encased inside a hollow shell,
Life began, then was done,
Now I stare into a cold and empty well
The many sounds that meet our ears
the sights our eyes behold,
Will open up our merging hearts,
And feed our empty souls
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever,
I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever
Without despair we will share,
And the joys of caring will not be replaced,
What has been must never end
And with the strength we have won't be erased
When the truths of love are planted firm,
They won't be hard to find,
And the words of love I speak to you
will echo in your mind
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever,
I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever,
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever
I'm so glad that I found someone to believe in again,
I'm so glad that I found someone to believe in again
God surely answered my prayer,
God surely answered by prayer,
You know God surely answered my prayer,
You know God surely answered my prayer,
God always will answer your prayers,
Believe in one who will answer my prayer,
Thank you God
Come on, let's fall in love,
You're the woman I've been waiting for,
Come on, let's fall in love,
You're the girl that I really adore,
Come on, let's fall in love...

The sun is shining, there's plenty of light (oh yeah)
A new day is dawning, sunny and bright (oh yeah)
But after I've been crying all night
The sun is cold, and the new day seems old
Since I lost my baby. (Since I lost my baby.)
Oh, since I lost my baby. (Oh, since I lost my baby.)

The birds are singing and the children are playing
There's plenty of work and the bosses are paying
Not a sad word should a young heart be saying
But fun is a bore and with money I'm poor.

Since I lost my baby. (Since I lost my baby.)
Oh, since I lost my baby. (Oh, since I lost my baby.)
Next time I'll be kinder (Next time I'll be kinder)
Won't you please help me find her (Won't you please help me find her)
Someone just remind her (Someone just remind her)
Of this love she left behind her (Of this love she left behind her)
Till I find her I'll be trying ta (Till I find her I'll be trying ta)
Everyday I'm more inclined ta
Find her
Inclined ta
Find her
Inclined ta find my baby
Been looking everywhere (ba--by)
Baby, I really, really care!

Oh, determination is fading fast (oh yeah)
Inspiration is a thing of the past (oh yeah)
Can't see how my hope's gonna last
Good things are bad and what's happy is sad

Since I lost my baby. (Since I lost my baby.)
Oh, since I lost my baby. (Oh, since I lost my baby.)
I feel so bad (since I lost my baby)
I feel so sad (since I lost my baby)
Everything is wrong
This heart is hard to carry on (since I lost my baby)
I'm lost as can be (since I lost my baby)
What's gonna happen to me?

Like the sweet morning dew,
I took one look at you,
And it was plain to see you were my destiny.
With my arms open wide, I threw away my pride.
I'll sacrifice for you dedicate my life for you.
I will go where you lead always there in time of need.
And when I lose my will you'll be there to push me up the hill.
There's no, no looking back for us, we got love sure 'nough, that's enough.
You're all, you're all I need to get by.

Like an eagle protects his nest for you I'll do my best,
Stand by you like a tree, dare anybody to try and move me.
Darlin' in you I found strength where I was torn down
Don't know what's in store but together we can open any door.
Just to do what's good for you and inspire you a little higher.
I know you can make a man out of a soul that didn't have a goal.
'Cause we, we got the right foundation and with love and determination.
You're all, you're all I want to strive for and do a little more.
All, all the joys under the sun wrapp'd up into one.

I was born in Lil' Rock
Had a childhood sweetheart
We were always hand in hand

I was hightop shoes and shirt tails
Suzy was in pig tails
I know I loved her even then

You know my papa disapproved it
My mama boohooed it
But I told them time and time again
"Don't you know I was made to love her
Built a world all around her"
Yah! Hey, hey, hey

She's been my inspiration
Showed appreciation
For the love I gave her through the years

Like a sweet magnolia tree
My love blossmed tenderly
My life grew sweeter through the years

I know that my baby loves me
My baby needs me
That's why we made it through the years

I was made to love her
Worship and adore her
Hey, hey, hey

All through thick and thin


Our love just won't end
'Cause I love my baby, love my baby, ah!

My baby loves me
My baby needs me
And I know I ain't going nowhere

I was knee high to a chicken
When that love bug bit me
I had the fever with each passing year

Oh, even if the mountain tumbles
If this whole world crumbles
By her side I'll still be standing there

'Cause I was made to love her
I was made to live for her, yeah!

Ah, I was made to love her
Built my world all around her
Hey, hey, hey

Oo baby, I was made to please her
You know Stevie ain't gonna leave her, no
Hey, hey, hey

Oo wee baby, my baby loves me
My baby needs me
Hey, hey, hey

Oo my baby loves me....

Now if you feel that you can't go on
because all of your hope is gone,
and your life is filled with much confusion
until happiness is just an illusion,
and your world around is crumblin' down;
darling, reach out (come on girl, reach on out for me)
reach out (reach out for me.)
I'll be there, with a love that will shelter you.
I'll be there, with a love that will see you through.
I'll be there to always see you through.

When you feel lost and about to give up
'cause your best just ain't good enough
and you feel the world has grown cold,
and you're drifting out all on your own,
and you need a hand to hold:
darling, reach out (come on girl, reach out for me)
reach out (reach out for me.)
I'll be there, to love and comfort you,
and I'll be there, to cherish and care for you.
I'll be there to love and comfort you.

I can tell the way you hang your head,
you're without love and now you're afraid
and through your tears you look around,
but there's no peace of mind to be found.
I know what you're thinkin',
you're alone now, no love of your own,
but darling, reach out (come on girl, reach out for me)
reach out (reach out for me.)
Just look over your shoulder
I'll be there, to give you all the love you need,
and I'll be there, you can always depend on me.

Oh, no no baby
You're alone all the time
Does it ever puzzle you, did you ask why
You seem to fall in love, and out again
Do you ever really love or just pretend
Oh, baby why fool yourself
Don't be afraid to help yourself
It's never too late, too late to
Stop, look
Listen to your heart, hear what it's saying
Stop, look
And listen to your heart, hear what it's saying
Love, love, love
Though you try, you can't hide
All the things you really feel, this time decide
That you will open up, and let it in
There's no shame in sharing love you feel within
So darling, just jump right in
Head over heels, and fall right in
'Cause it's never too late too late to
Stop, look
And listen to your heart, hear what it's saying
Stop, look
And listen to your heart, hear what it's saying
Love, love, love

Baby, I need your lovin'
Baby, I need your lovin'
Although you're never near
Your voice I often hear

Another day
Another night
I long to hold you tight
'Cause I'm so lonely

Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'
Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'

Some say it's a sign of weakness
For a man to beg
Then weak I'd rather be
If it means having you to keep
'Cause lately I've been losin' sleep

Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'
Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'

Empty nights
Echo your name
Oh sometimes I wonder
Will I ever be the same? Oh yeah!

When you see me smile
You know things have gotten worse
Any smile you might see, darlin'
Has all been rehearsed
Darlin', I can't go on living without you
This emptiness won't let me live without you
Loneliness inside me, baby
Makes me feel half alive

Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'
Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'

Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'
Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'

Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'
Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'

Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'

People say I'm the life of the party
Cause I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue

[Chorus:]
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
Just look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
I need you, need you

Since you left me if you see me with another girl
Seeming like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute she's just a substitute
'Cause you're the permanent one

[Chorus]

Outside, I'm masquerading
Inside, my hope is fading
Just a clown, oh yeah since you put me down
My smile is my make-up I wear since my break-up with you

[Chorus]

Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today - Ya

Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Ah, what's going on

In the mean time
Right on, baby
Right on
Right on

Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Oh

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on - Uh
Right on baby
Right on baby

Maybe you'll wanna give me kisses sweet
But only for one night with no repeat.
And maybe you'll go away and never call,
And a taste of honey is worse that none at all.
Oh little girl!

In that case I don't want nobody
I do believe that that would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
If you got the notion,
I Second That Emotion.
So, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion
I Second That Emotion.

Maybe you'll think that love will tie you down
And you don't have the time to hang around.
Or maybe you'll think that love will make us fools,
And so it makes you wise to break the rules.
Oh little girl!

In that case I don't want nobody
I do believe that that would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
If you got the notion,
I Second That Emotion.
So, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion
I Second That Emotion.

In that case I don't want nobody
I do believe that that would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
If you got the notion,
I Second That Emotion.
So, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion
I Second That Emotion.

Dance with me
Come on dance with me, baby
Dance with me
Come on dance with me, baby
Dance with me
Come on dance with me, baby
Dance with me
Come on dance with me, baby
I want you-and you want me
So why don't we-
Get together after the dance
When I first saw you
Lookin' good on the Soul Train
So good

Dancin' good-spinnin' everywhere

You were so fine
The ways you move
So fine
She's movin' so real, I need her
What you need is me
I want you-and you want me
So why don't we-
Get together after the dance
While we danced
Let's break this baby
You were so fine
The way you moved me
Your eyes
Told me of warm things
Oh baby, just between you and me
Got to live in my sweet lovin', baby
Nobody else's got, nobody's got my love
And if I were you
I want you to take me with you
What'cha gonna do
I want you, and you want me
So why don't we
Get together after the dance
Dance with me
Come on dance with me, baby
Dance with me
Come on dance with me, baby
Dance with me
Come on dance with me, baby
Dance with me
Come on dance with me, baby
I want you, and you want me
So why don't we
Get together after the dance

Nowhere To Run to, baby, nowhere to hide
Got Nowhere To Run to, baby, Nowhere to hide.
It's not love I'm a running from,
It's the heartbreak I know will come.
'Cause I know you're no good for me, but you've become a part of me.
Ev'rywhere I go your face I see ev'rystep I take you take with me.

Nowhere To Run to, baby, nowhere to hide
Got Nowhere To Run to, baby, Nowhere to hide.
I know you're not good for me, but free of you I'll never be, no.
Each night as I sleep, into my heart you creep.
I wake up feelin' sorry I met you, hoping soon that I'll forget you.
When I look in the mirror to comb my hair
I see your face just a smiling there.

Nowhere To Run, Nowhere to hide from you baby,
Got Nowhere To Run to, baby, Nowhere to hide.
I know you're no good for me, but you've become a part of me,
How can I fight a lover that shouldn't be when it's so deep,
so deep, deep inside of me
My love reaches so high I can't get over it.
It's so wide I can't get around it, no
Nowhere To Run, Nowhere to hide from you baby.
Just can't get away from you baby, no matter how I try to baby,

Nowhere to hide. I know you're no good for me, but free of you I'll never be,
Nowhere To Run, Nowhere to hide, Got Nowhere To Run to baby.

Tuesday heartbreak seem to be unfair,
Cause you say that you found another man,
Tuesday break heart, guess you just don't care,
Cause you found you another man
I want to be with you when you're all alone,
I want to be with you
when you feel you got another man,
You see, baby, it's all alright
I want to be with you when the nightime comes,
I want to be with you when the daytime comes,
I want to stay, oh baby, lemme, baby with you
Tuesday heartbreak seem to be a drag,
When you know that you love her especially,
Catch up baby, catch up with my dreams,
Maybe than I can see you all the time
But I want to be with you when the nightime comes
I want to be with you when the daytime comes,
I want to stay and never go away,
Oh baby, it's alright
I want to be with you when the nightime comes,
I want to stay with you till the morning runs,
I want to, baby, baby, baby, it's alright
I want to be with you when the nightime comes,
I want to be with you till the daytime comes

Woo ah mercy, mercy me
Ah, things ain't what they used to be.
No, no, where did all the blue skies go,
Poison is the wind that blows
From the north and south and east
Woo mercy, mercy me

Ah things ain't what they used to be, no, no
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon
Our seas fish full of mercury, ah. oh

Ah things ain't what they used to be
What about this over crowded land
How much more abuse from man can she stand?

Oh mercy, mercy me.
Ah things ain't what they used to be.
No, no, no, radiation underground and in the sky;
Animals and birds who live near by are dying oh,

Oh mercy, mercy me.
Ah things ain't what they used to be.
No, no, no, radiation underground and in the sky;
Animals and land how much more abuse from man can she stand?

Ooh...wee...ooh...

Your only man, oh, baby, my baby, my baby

And baby, baby, baby, you don't have to go
Stay a little while longer, baby

Oh, but if you cry, I wonder why you cry
I tell you no lie, this is how I feel

You need to, baby, I'm for real
So real, baby, baby, baby, baby, girl

Wipe the tears from your eyes
Now you won't have to cry, no, no

Ooh...yeah

Ooh, I bet you wonder how I knew
About your plans to make me blue with
some other guy that you knew before
Between the two of us guys
You know I love you more
It took me by surprise I must say
When I found out yesterday
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah

You know that
a man ain't supposed to cry
But these tears I can't hold inside
Losing you would end my life you see
Cause you mean that much to me
You could have told me yourself
That you found someone else, instead

I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah

People say you "Half from what you see
None, none, none from what you hear."
I can't help being confused
If it's true, won't you tell me dear
Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy that you knew before
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah

전에 알고 지내던 그 남자 문제로
나를 언짢게 하려던 당신 생각을
내가 어떻게 알았는지 궁금할거에요
그 남자와 나 중에서 내가 당신을
더 사랑한다는 걸 알잖아요
어제 사실을 알고 나서
난 놀랄 수밖에 없었어요

소문으로 들었어요
당신은 곧 내 사랑이 되었을텐데
소문을 듣고
난 미칠 것 같았어요
당신 정말...

남자는 울어선 안 된다는 걸
당신도 알겠지만
이 눈물은 안으로 숨길 수가 없군요
당신이 떠나면 내 삶도 끝장이에요
당신은 내게 너무 커다란 존재거든요
다른 사람이 생겼다고 내게 직접
말해 줬어야죠, 그 대신 나는

소문으로 들었어요
당신은 곧 내 사랑이 되었을텐데
소문을 듣고
난 미칠 것 같았어요
당신 정말...

직접 본 것은 절반은 믿을 수 있어도
들은 건 절대 믿지 말라고들 하지만
난 뭐가 뭔지 모르겠어요
사실이라면 내게 말해 봐요
전에 알던 그 남자 때문에
나를 떠날 작정인가요

소문으로 들었어요
당신은 곧 내 사랑이 되었을텐데
소문을 듣고
난 미칠 것 같았어요
당신 정말...

Oh darling
I want to be everything to you
You are everything
You are my everything
Today I saw somebody
Who looked just like you
He walked like you do
I thought it was you
As he turned the corner
I called out your name
I felt so ashamed
When it wasn't you
Wasn't you
You are everything
And everything is you
Oh, you are everything
And everything is you
Oh you are everything
And everything is you
How can I forget
When each face that I see
Brings back memories
Of being with you
I just can't go on
Living life as I do
Comparing each girl with you
Knowing they just won't do
They're not you

Like a fool I went and stayed too long
Now I'm wondering if your love's still strong
Oo baby, here I am, signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours

Then that time I went and said goodbye
Now I'm back and not ashamed to cry
Oo baby, here I am, signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours

Here I am baby
Oh, you've got the future in your hand
(signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours)

Here I am baby,
Oh, you've got the future in your hand
(signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours)

I've done alot of foolish things
That I really didn't mean
Hey, hey, yea, yea, didn't i, oh baby

Seen alot of things in this old world
When I touched them they did nothing, girl
Oo baby, here I am, signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours, oh I'm yours

Oo-wee babe you set my soul on fire
That's why I know you are my only desire
Oo baby, here I am, signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours

Here I am baby
Oh, you've got the future in your hand
(signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours)

Here I am baby,
Oh, you've got the future in your hand
(signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours)

I've done alot of foolish things
That I really didn't mean
I could be a broken man but here I am

With your future, got your future babe (here I am baby)
Here I am baby (signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours)
Here I am baby, (here I am baby)
Here I am baby (signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours)
Here I am baby, (here I am baby)
Here I am baby (signed, sealed delivered, I'm yours)

I'm gonna do all the things for you, a girl wants a man to do.
Oh, baby (Oh, baby)
I'll sacrifice for you, I'll even do wrong for you.
Oh, baby (Oh, baby)

Every minute, every hour.
I'm gonna shower you with love and affection.
Look out it's coming in your direction.
And I'm... I'm gonna make you love me.
Oh, yes I will.
Yes I will.
I'm gonna make you love me.
Oh, yes I will.
Yes I will.

Look it here.
My love is strong, you see.
I know you'll never get tired of me.
Oh, baby (Sho' won't) (Oh baby)
And I'm gonna use every trick in the book.
I'll try my best to get you hooked.
Hey, baby (Take me I'm yours) (Hey, baby)

And every night, every day.
I'm gonna say.
I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you.
Look out boy, 'cause I'm gonna get you.

I'm gonna make you love me.
Ooo, yes I will.
Yes I will.
And I'm gonna make you love me.
Ooo, 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 we are apart.
I'll hunger for every wasted hour.

And every night and every day.
I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you.
Look out 'cause I'm gonna get you.

And I'm gonna make...
I'm gonna make you love me.
Oh, oh. (Yes I will)
I'm gonna make you love me.
Ooo, yes I will. Yes I will.
I'm gonna make you love me.
Yes I will. (Yes I will)
Ooo, I'm gonna make you love me.
Yes I will.
Yes I will.

Ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothin' like the real thing, no, no
Ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby (Ain't nothin')
Ain't nothin' like the real thing

Ooh, I've got your picture hangin' on my wall
But it can't see or come to me
When I call your name (When I call your name)
I realize it's just a picture in a frame

I read your letters when you're not near
But they don't move me and they don't groove me
Like when I hear (When I'm in your arms)
Your sweet voice whispering in my ear (In my ear)

No other sound
Is quite the same as your name (Quite the same as your name)
No touch can do half as much to make me feel better
So let's stay together

Ooh, I've got memories (Memories) to look back on
Though they help when you're gone
I'm well aware (I'm well aware)
Nothin' can take the place of you being there (Being there)

Ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby (Ain't nothin')
Ain't nothin' like the real thing, ooh baby
Ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby (Ain't nothin')
Ain't nothin' like the real thing

Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time
I see reflections of you and me

Reflections of the way life used to be
Reflections of the love you took from me

I'm all alone now
No love to shield me
Trapped in a world that's
a distorted reality.

Happiness you took from me
and left me alone
with only memories.

Through the mirror of my mind
Through these tears that I'm crying
Reflects the hurt I can't control
Cause although you're gone
I keep holding on
to the happy times
ooh when you were mine

AS I peer out through the window
of lost time
Looking over my yesteryear
And all this love I gave all in vain

(all the love) All the love I've wasted
(all those tears) All the tears that I've tasted
(ooh ,ooh) All in vain
(all in vain , till nothing remains)

Through the hollow of my tears
I see a dream that's lost
From the hurt
That you have caused

Everywhere I turn
seems like everything I see
Reflects the love that used to be
In you I put all my faith and trust
and right before my eyes my world has turned to dust

After all those nights I sat alone and wept
Just a hand full of promises and all that's left of loving you

Reflections of
the way life used to be
Reflections of
the love you took from me
in you I put all my faith and trust
right before my eyes my world was turned to dust
Reflections of...

How sweet it is to be loved by you. How sweet it is to be loved by you.
I needed the shelter of someone's arms and there you were.
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs and there you were.
With sweet love and devotion, deeply touching my emotion,
I want to stop and thank you baby. I want to stop and thank you baby.
How sweet it is to be loved by you. How sweet it is to be loved by you.
I close my eyes at night wondering where would I be without you in my life.
Everything I did was just a bore, everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before.
But you brighten up for me all of my days with a love so sweet in so many ways,
I want to stop and thank you baby, I just want to stop and thank you baby.
How sweet it is to be loved by you, feels so fine. How sweet it is to be loved by you.
You were better for me than I was for myself,
for me, there's you and there ain't nobody else,
I want to stop and thank you baby. I just want to stop and thank you baby, yes I do,
how sweet it is to be loved by you. How sweet it is to be loved by you.
Feels so fine, how sweet it is to be loved by you.
Just like jelly baby, oh yeah, how sweet it is to be loved by you.
Just like honey to the bee, babe, how sweet it is to be loved by you.

Listen, baby..
Ain't no mountain high, Ain't no valley low,
Ain't no river wide enough, baby
If you need me, call me, No matter where you are,
No matter how far (Don't worry Baby) Just call my name,
I'll be there in a hurry, You don't have to worry
There ain't no mountain high enough,
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough,
To keep me gettin' to you
Remember the day, I set you free..
I told you You could always count on me,
From that day on, I made a vow
I'll be there when you want me,
Some way, some how
There ain't no mountain high enough,
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough,
To keep me gettin' to you
Oh, no, darling
No wind, no rain or winter’s cold
can stop me, baby (No, no, baby)
If you’re ever in trouble,
I’ll be there on the double
Just send for me, oh, baby, huh
My love is alive, way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart
If you ever need a helpin’ hand,
I’ll be there on the double
Just as fast as I can
Ain’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough
Ain’t no river wide enough
To keep me from you gettin’ to you, baby
Ain’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough
Ain’t no river wide enough
Ain’t no mountain high enough

All is fair in love
Love's a crazy game
Two people vow to stay
In love as one they say
But all is changed with time
The future no one can see
The road you leave behind
Ahead lies mystery
But all is fair in love
I had to go away
A writer takes his pen
To write the words again
That all in love is fair
All of fate's a chance
It's either good or bad
I tossed my coin to say
In love with me you'd stay
But all in war is so cold
You either win or lose
When all is put away
The loosing side I'll play
But all is fair in love
I should never have left your side
A writer takes his pen
To write the words again
That all in love is fair
A writer takes his pen
To write the words again
That all in love is fair

(Paul Buchanan)
It's the middle of the night
It's been a long hard day
I see you walk my way
Say it baby
I want you...
The jukebox laughing low
At the sad motel
Knows that I can't break your spell
Say it baby
I want you...
It's my life and I know
Even though you don't show me
Am I right?
Am I wrong to believe in you?
Yeah yeah
Say it baby
I want you...

You know, when you're in love and your lover leaves you
And you've got nobody, the lonely hours over here
Sittin' home and thinkin', you say:
Distant lover, darlin', ooo hoo hoo
So many miles away, ooo please
Oh please, baby, think about me
Hey, in misery
Oh say, baby, as I reminisce about your life
That we shared together
The promises we made, baby
Of the day you left, child
Then all of a sudden, if it may seem to explode
Now I gaze out my window, sugar, down a lonesome road, ooo
Distant lover, ooo, sugar
How can you treat my heart so mean and cruel
Didn't you know, sugar, that I dream
Of what I spent with you
I treasure it like it was a precious jewel, oh baby
Lord have mercy!
Oh baby, don't go
Please come back, baby
Ooo, something I wanna say
When you left to go away
No 'ther do I want, do you wanna have me plead and scream
Please! Please, oh please baby
Come back home, girl
Oh baby, come back
Oh oh

Shattered dreams, worthless years,
Here am I encased inside a hollow shell,
Life began, then was done,
Now I stare into a cold and empty well
The many sounds that meet our ears
the sights our eyes behold,
Will open up our merging hearts,
And feed our empty souls
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever,
I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever
Without despair we will share,
And the joys of caring will not be replaced,
What has been must never end
And with the strength we have won't be erased
When the truths of love are planted firm,
They won't be hard to find,
And the words of love I speak to you
will echo in your mind
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever,
I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever,
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever
I'm so glad that I found someone to believe in again,
I'm so glad that I found someone to believe in again
God surely answered my prayer,
God surely answered by prayer,
You know God surely answered my prayer,
You know God surely answered my prayer,
God always will answer your prayers,
Believe in one who will answer my prayer,
Thank you God
Come on, let's fall in love,
You're the woman I've been waiting for,
Come on, let's fall in love,
You're the girl that I really adore,
Come on, let's fall in love...

The sun is shining, there's plenty of light (oh yeah)
A new day is dawning, sunny and bright (oh yeah)
But after I've been crying all night
The sun is cold, and the new day seems old
Since I lost my baby. (Since I lost my baby.)
Oh, since I lost my baby. (Oh, since I lost my baby.)

The birds are singing and the children are playing
There's plenty of work and the bosses are paying
Not a sad word should a young heart be saying
But fun is a bore and with money I'm poor.

Since I lost my baby. (Since I lost my baby.)
Oh, since I lost my baby. (Oh, since I lost my baby.)
Next time I'll be kinder (Next time I'll be kinder)
Won't you please help me find her (Won't you please help me find her)
Someone just remind her (Someone just remind her)
Of this love she left behind her (Of this love she left behind her)
Till I find her I'll be trying ta (Till I find her I'll be trying ta)
Everyday I'm more inclined ta
Find her
Inclined ta
Find her
Inclined ta find my baby
Been looking everywhere (ba--by)
Baby, I really, really care!

Oh, determination is fading fast (oh yeah)
Inspiration is a thing of the past (oh yeah)
Can't see how my hope's gonna last
Good things are bad and what's happy is sad

Since I lost my baby. (Since I lost my baby.)
Oh, since I lost my baby. (Oh, since I lost my baby.)
I feel so bad (since I lost my baby)
I feel so sad (since I lost my baby)
Everything is wrong
This heart is hard to carry on (since I lost my baby)
I'm lost as can be (since I lost my baby)
What's gonna happen to me?

Like the sweet morning dew,
I took one look at you,
And it was plain to see you were my destiny.
With my arms open wide, I threw away my pride.
I'll sacrifice for you dedicate my life for you.
I will go where you lead always there in time of need.
And when I lose my will you'll be there to push me up the hill.
There's no, no looking back for us, we got love sure 'nough, that's enough.
You're all, you're all I need to get by.

Like an eagle protects his nest for you I'll do my best,
Stand by you like a tree, dare anybody to try and move me.
Darlin' in you I found strength where I was torn down
Don't know what's in store but together we can open any door.
Just to do what's good for you and inspire you a little higher.
I know you can make a man out of a soul that didn't have a goal.
'Cause we, we got the right foundation and with love and determination.
You're all, you're all I want to strive for and do a little more.
All, all the joys under the sun wrapp'd up into one.

I was born in Lil' Rock
Had a childhood sweetheart
We were always hand in hand

I was hightop shoes and shirt tails
Suzy was in pig tails
I know I loved her even then

You know my papa disapproved it
My mama boohooed it
But I told them time and time again
"Don't you know I was made to love her
Built a world all around her"
Yah! Hey, hey, hey

She's been my inspiration
Showed appreciation
For the love I gave her through the years

Like a sweet magnolia tree
My love blossmed tenderly
My life grew sweeter through the years

I know that my baby loves me
My baby needs me
That's why we made it through the years

I was made to love her
Worship and adore her
Hey, hey, hey

All through thick and thin


Our love just won't end
'Cause I love my baby, love my baby, ah!

My baby loves me
My baby needs me
And I know I ain't going nowhere

I was knee high to a chicken
When that love bug bit me
I had the fever with each passing year

Oh, even if the mountain tumbles
If this whole world crumbles
By her side I'll still be standing there

'Cause I was made to love her
I was made to live for her, yeah!

Ah, I was made to love her
Built my world all around her
Hey, hey, hey

Oo baby, I was made to please her
You know Stevie ain't gonna leave her, no
Hey, hey, hey

Oo wee baby, my baby loves me
My baby needs me
Hey, hey, hey

Oo my baby loves me....

Now if you feel that you can't go on
because all of your hope is gone,
and your life is filled with much confusion
until happiness is just an illusion,
and your world around is crumblin' down;
darling, reach out (come on girl, reach on out for me)
reach out (reach out for me.)
I'll be there, with a love that will shelter you.
I'll be there, with a love that will see you through.
I'll be there to always see you through.

When you feel lost and about to give up
'cause your best just ain't good enough
and you feel the world has grown cold,
and you're drifting out all on your own,
and you need a hand to hold:
darling, reach out (come on girl, reach out for me)
reach out (reach out for me.)
I'll be there, to love and comfort you,
and I'll be there, to cherish and care for you.
I'll be there to love and comfort you.

I can tell the way you hang your head,
you're without love and now you're afraid
and through your tears you look around,
but there's no peace of mind to be found.
I know what you're thinkin',
you're alone now, no love of your own,
but darling, reach out (come on girl, reach out for me)
reach out (reach out for me.)
Just look over your shoulder
I'll be there, to give you all the love you need,
and I'll be there, you can always depend on me.

Oh, no no baby
You're alone all the time
Does it ever puzzle you, did you ask why
You seem to fall in love, and out again
Do you ever really love or just pretend
Oh, baby why fool yourself
Don't be afraid to help yourself
It's never too late, too late to
Stop, look
Listen to your heart, hear what it's saying
Stop, look
And listen to your heart, hear what it's saying
Love, love, love
Though you try, you can't hide
All the things you really feel, this time decide
That you will open up, and let it in
There's no shame in sharing love you feel within
So darling, just jump right in
Head over heels, and fall right in
'Cause it's never too late too late to
Stop, look
And listen to your heart, hear what it's saying
Stop, look
And listen to your heart, hear what it's saying
Love, love, love

Baby, I need your lovin'
Baby, I need your lovin'
Although you're never near
Your voice I often hear

Another day
Another night
I long to hold you tight
'Cause I'm so lonely

Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'
Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'

Some say it's a sign of weakness
For a man to beg
Then weak I'd rather be
If it means having you to keep
'Cause lately I've been losin' sleep

Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'
Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'

Empty nights
Echo your name
Oh sometimes I wonder
Will I ever be the same? Oh yeah!

When you see me smile
You know things have gotten worse
Any smile you might see, darlin'
Has all been rehearsed
Darlin', I can't go on living without you
This emptiness won't let me live without you
Loneliness inside me, baby
Makes me feel half alive

Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'
Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'

Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'
Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'

Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'
Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'

Baby, I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'

People say I'm the life of the party
Cause I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue

[Chorus:]
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
Just look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
I need you, need you

Since you left me if you see me with another girl
Seeming like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute she's just a substitute
'Cause you're the permanent one

[Chorus]

Outside, I'm masquerading
Inside, my hope is fading
Just a clown, oh yeah since you put me down
My smile is my make-up I wear since my break-up with you

[Chorus]

Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today - Ya

Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Ah, what's going on

In the mean time
Right on, baby
Right on
Right on

Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Oh

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on - Uh
Right on baby
Right on baby

Maybe you'll wanna give me kisses sweet
But only for one night with no repeat.
And maybe you'll go away and never call,
And a taste of honey is worse that none at all.
Oh little girl!

In that case I don't want nobody
I do believe that that would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
If you got the notion,
I Second That Emotion.
So, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion
I Second That Emotion.

Maybe you'll think that love will tie you down
And you don't have the time to hang around.
Or maybe you'll think that love will make us fools,
And so it makes you wise to break the rules.
Oh little girl!

In that case I don't want nobody
I do believe that that would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
If you got the notion,
I Second That Emotion.
So, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion
I Second That Emotion.

In that case I don't want nobody
I do believe that that would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
If you got the notion,
I Second That Emotion.
So, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion
I Second That Emotion.

Dance with me
Come on dance with me, baby
Dance with me
Come on dance with me, baby
Dance with me
Come on dance with me, baby
Dance with me
Come on dance with me, baby
I want you-and you want me
So why don't we-
Get together after the dance
When I first saw you
Lookin' good on the Soul Train
So good
I cannot get you sharp and right
Dancin' good-spinnin' everywhere
I thought to myself
You were so fine
The ways you move
So fine
She's movin' so real, I need her
What you need is me
I want you-and you want me
So why don't we-
Get together after the dance
While we danced
Let's break this baby
You were so fine
The way you moved me
Your eyes
Told me of warm things
Oh baby, just between you and me
Got to live in my sweet lovin', baby
Nobody else's got, nobody's got my love
And if I were you
I want you to take me with you
What'cha gonna do
I want you, and you want me
So why don't we
Get together after the dance
Dance with me
Come on dance with me, baby
Dance with me
Come on dance with me, baby
Dance with me
Come on dance with me, baby
Dance with me
Come on dance with me, baby
I want you, and you want me
So why don't we
Get together after the dance

Nowhere To Run to, baby, nowhere to hide
Got Nowhere To Run to, baby, Nowhere to hide.
It's not love I'm a running from,
It's the heartbreak I know will come.
'Cause I know you're no good for me, but you've become a part of me.
Ev'rywhere I go your face I see ev'rystep I take you take with me.

Nowhere To Run to, baby, nowhere to hide
Got Nowhere To Run to, baby, Nowhere to hide.
I know you're not good for me, but free of you I'll never be, no.
Each night as I sleep, into my heart you creep.
I wake up feelin' sorry I met you, hoping soon that I'll forget you.
When I look in the mirror to comb my hair
I see your face just a smiling there.

Nowhere To Run, Nowhere to hide from you baby,
Got Nowhere To Run to, baby, Nowhere to hide.
I know you're no good for me, but you've become a part of me,
How can I fight a lover that shouldn't be when it's so deep,
so deep, deep inside of me
My love reaches so high I can't get over it.
It's so wide I can't get around it, no
Nowhere To Run, Nowhere to hide from you baby.
Just can't get away from you baby, no matter how I try to baby,

Nowhere to hide. I know you're no good for me, but free of you I'll never be,
Nowhere To Run, Nowhere to hide, Got Nowhere To Run to baby.

Tuesday heartbreak seem to be unfair,
Cause you say that you found another man,
Tuesday break heart, guess you just don't care,
Cause you found you another man
I want to be with you when you're all alone,
I want to be with you
when you feel you got another man,
You see, baby, it's all alright
I want to be with you when the nightime comes,
I want to be with you when the daytime comes,
I want to stay, oh baby, lemme, baby with you
Tuesday heartbreak seem to be a drag,
When you know that you love her especially,
Catch up baby, catch up with my dreams,
Maybe than I can see you all the time
But I want to be with you when the nightime comes
I want to be with you when the daytime comes,
I want to stay and never go away,
Oh baby, it's alright
I want to be with you when the nightime comes,
I want to stay with you till the morning runs,
I want to, baby, baby, baby, it's alright
I want to be with you when the nightime comes,
I want to be with you till the daytime comes

Woo ah mercy, mercy me
Ah, things ain't what they used to be.
No, no, where did all the blue skies go,
Poison is the wind that blows
From the north and south and east
Woo mercy, mercy me

Ah things ain't what they used to be, no, no
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon
Our seas fish full of mercury, ah. oh

Ah things ain't what they used to be
What about this over crowded land
How much more abuse from man can she stand?

Oh mercy, mercy me.
Ah things ain't what they used to be.
No, no, no, radiation underground and in the sky;
Animals and birds who live near by are dying oh,

Oh mercy, mercy me.
Ah things ain't what they used to be.
No, no, no, radiation underground and in the sky;
Animals and land how much more abuse from man can she stand?
