Hey Frankie?! I was walking down the street one day
when I looked up I saw a friend. Hey Frankie - do you remember me?
He looked at me and then I blushed
'Cause I remembered I loved you so much. Way back then we were friends going together but then you left me. Frankie - do you remember me? Frankie - do you remember?
You were fifteen I was twelve it was summer
we were so in love. I never loved anyQne this much look at me
I'm thrilled to your touch. Hey Frankie - do you remember me? Frankie - do you remember me?
Oh how you brought me down - down down. All I did was runnin' around - around. You'll never know how much I loved you.
Frankie - do you remember? Do you remember me? Frankie - You walked me to the Deli
then we sat in the booth where it all began. I looked into your big eyes and I said to myself we coulda have twins. Hey Frankie - do you remember me? Oh how you brought me down - down down. . . .
He looked at me and then I blushed . . . Frankie - do you remember me? Do you remember me me? Frankie my Frankie my baby Frankie - do you remember me? Frankie - do you remember me? Frankie -
Looks like we're running out of time Can't hide away In nights no longer yours or mine
All things must change It's so painful when nothing ever stays the same But I must go on While you run away from love, oh
Next time you'll know Not to let my love go When you feel afraid And you can't love nobody Next time you'll know You must let your heart show Till the dyin' day, my friend
Maybe I hurt too easily But is it wrong To feel betrayed when love can't be
You could change your mind No excuses could ever make me change mine But I've got to be strong And believe I'll find the love, oh
Next time you'll know Not to let my love go When you feel afraid And you can't love nobody Next time you'll know You must let your heart show Till the dyin' day, my friend, no
Oh...believe it
Next time you'll know Not to let my love go When you feel afraid And you can't love nobody Next time you'll know You must let your heart show Till the dyin' day, my friend, whoa...oh...
Next time you'll know Not to let my love go When you feel afraid And you can't love nobody Next time you'll know You must let your heart show Till the dyin' day
Pretty baby grew into a lady The people don't know What your mama know, they don't Pretty baby
In the light of the dawn A pretty babe was born Her mother, she had sworn To take good care of her
Every night Mom would pray Her life would not be torn Her clothes would not be worn Until they dropped off of her
My child, you dear Don't have no fear, I'll shed the tears Keep your head clear, my pretty baby
Pretty baby grew into a lady The people don't know What your mama know, they don't Pretty baby
Little girl, I want you to attend the finest schools And never be a fool, I've got experience Learn all that you can, you'll find that in the end You'll learn how to depend on yourself
It makes me glad You have the things I didn't have Never be sad, my pretty baby
Pretty baby grew into a lady The people don't know What your mama know, they don't Pretty baby
The people don't know What your mama know, they don't The people don't know What your mama know, they don't
The people don't know What your mama know, they don't The people don't know What your mama know, they don't
Pretty baby grew into a lady Pretty baby grew into a lady
The people don't know What your mama know, they don't The people don't know What your mama know, they don't Pretty baby
Pretty baby grew into a lady Pretty baby grew into a lady
The people don't know What your mama know, they don't The people don't know What your mama know, they don't Pretty baby
My aspiration grows and with it grows my pride. No consolations just frustrations I don't mind. I crossed a thousand rivers and never will I tire But I'll walk away, I'll walk away, And take my test of time. CHORUS What's ahead That's for me to see and... What's ahead That's for me to be and... What's ahead That's for me to know and... Now I lead And I will not follow. My hands they bleed from the pounding on the door. I fell face down and still I pounded on the floor. My heart it hurts and my throat it's gettin' sore, But I'll talk my way, I'll talk my way And then I'll talk some more. CHORUS Tomorrow dawn it lights the way for me, Down a road that goes on and on And on and on and on... Just survivin' it ain't the way to be. Tried it once and it took it's toll on me. He hesitated, never acted in the now. I never waited, wiped the sweat off of my brow. They congregated so I looked at them and bowed. And I'll have my way, I'll have my way, And never turn around. CHORUS
De B. Edwards / Nile Rodgers. Com Sister Sledge (WEA).

He'll run and break your heart. He's just a runaway runaway
He'll run and break your heart.
She was stanging there all alone had no money left. Love hangs on the phone no one's home. It was Saturday getting hot conscious walked away. Can his heart be caught? Love is not bought. Still she wants.
He's just a runaway runaway . . . Yes he has honest eyes and a lovely face. It happens ev'ry time. Innocence lies - But the weekend pass on reality Served to bring him back
Love was just an act for so long - now he's gone. He's just a runaway runaway . . . He's just a runaway runaway . . . yes he has honest eyes and a lovely face. . . .
He's just a runaway runaway . . . He's just a runaway runaway . . .
Baby, this time I know Yes you fooled around And you fell in love Honey, I'll tell you so Yes you fooled around And you fell in love
Boy, you came along And you took my heart Gave it quite a start You had a love, fit like a glove Yes, it was the perfect love Don't get me wrong But I've heard that song I've seen that dance And I've known romance All this to say, it's a new day I've spoken to the owl, the jig is up!
Baby, this time I know Yes you fooled around And you fell in love Honey, I'll tell you so Yes you fooled around
And you fell in love
Now, there you go You found a toy, that brings you joy The love I feel it still reamins But you're not the same I've seen the change You've been acting strange I feel the pain I can't stand the strain What can I do I still love you Wanting you, needing you, holding you, Loving you
Baby, this time I know Yes you fooled around And you fell in love Honey, I'll tell you so Yes you fooled around And you fell in love
(*) Sometimes it seems that way to me It's easier to love, don't you see
(* repeat)
Won't somebody please explain Why all the hurt and the pain? Can't you make'em see It's not supposed to be All this beautiful land See the children playing in the sand I put to you this question What you at tolerate destruction? And I don't understand why
(* repeat 3 times)
What more can I say
War is this game to play Give a person a little might Well that don't make him right And I hope and pray Oh please let the children play All this killing each other You should be loving your brother And I don't understand why
