Pick up the pieces
Pick up the pieces
Pick up the pieces
Pick up the pieces

Pick up the pieces
Pick up the pieces
Pick up the pieces
Pick up the pieces

Telephone line, bad connection
And I'm half asleep
Makin' conversation with you should be easy
But it ain't
Wish you could be with me
There would be no problem
Our communication's bad
And I want to see you again

Person to person, face to face
Person to person, one to one
Person to person, touching hands
Person to person, that's what love demands

Six weeks, long time to be without you sugar
But what can I do


Working hard on the other side of the world
Might as well be on the moon
Wish that I could write it all down
And put it in a letter to you
Feelin' like I do right now
Won't make it any better to you
Just got to be

Person to person, face to face
Person to person, one to one
Person to person, we can't replace
Person to person, that's just how it gets done

Person to person, line to line
Person to person, just keepin' time

Babe, you been gone such a long time
I've been thinkin' 'bout what it is we've got
Not all the time in the world, but we got a lot
There is much, much more than a ghost of a chance
We can make it right this time
'Cause you've got to stay mine

Got the love
Got to make it work on you
Got the love
Just can't keep it hid

You might not think that I care at all, But I do
You know me so much better than anyone else
It should be easy to convince you that I got the love


Got the love
Got to make it work on you
Got the love
Just can't keep it hid

So come on girl, let's work it out
C'mon and take my hand
'Cause I got the love

Got the love
Got to make it work on you
Got the love
Just can't keep it hid

Well you're making a big mistake, girl
Trying to hold back your love from me
'Cause there's nothin' I can't do for you
Sure got the love that you need

Everything, anything, in the world
If I can be your man
I would beg, borrow,
I would steal for you, honey
As long as you understand

You don't have to worry
What more can say
To make you understand
Oooh, that I don't give a damn who knows it
You are the one, the one I truly need
Baby won't you listen to me

You got it, any way you want it
Any way you want it to be
You can have it, take it from me
'Cause it's waiting for you

Now if something is on your mind, girl
Got to let me know right away
I will try my best to smooth it over
Nothing's going to stand in the way
Anywhere, anytime, day or night
Don't make no difference to me

I will come running, way across town
As long as I know that you need
What I have to give
All that I can to make you feel all right
You got it, anyway you want it
Any way you want it to be
You can have it, take it from me
'Cause it's waiting for you

I'm taking care of business, woman can't you see
Got to make it for you, got to make it for me
Sometimes it might seem that I've neglected you
But I would love to spend more time
I've got so many things to do

Oh I, Got Work to do, I've got work, baby
Got work to do, I've got to give it
Got work to do, I've got work to do
Got work to do, got so much work, yeah yeah
I've been trying to make it, woman can't you see
Takes a lot of money to make it, let's talk truthfully
Keep your love light burning, and a little food hot in a plate
You might as well get use to me coming home a little late

'Cause I got work to do, I got work, baby


Got work to do, I've got to give
Got work to do, I got to work
Got work to do, got so much work, yeah yeah
Work, work, yeah, work, work
Work, work, yeah, work, work
I'm taking care of business, woman can't you see
I got to make it for you, got to make it for me
But sometimes it might seem that I've neglected you
But I'd love to spend more time, I got so many things to do

'Cause I got work to do, I got work, baby
Got work to do, I've got to give
Got work to do, I got to work
Got work to do, got so much work, yeah yeah

If you're foolin', only foolin'
All I ask is "Why?"
And if you're playin', all I'm sayin' is
Feelings sure can lie
And if you're lyin', keep on lyin'
Don't tell the truth, don't you dare
You can't drop me, baby you still got me
After takin' me way up there (way up there yeah)

Oh,
If I ever lose this heaven
If I ever, ever, ever lose this heaven
Oh, I'll never be the same (not the same no)

Oh,
If I ever lose this heaven
If I ever, ever, ever lose this heaven (oooh)
Oh, I'll never be the same (never be the same no)

When you're kind, ooh extra kind
Then suddenly oh baby get cross
You're so moody, but you really get to me
And I can't turn you off whoa
You're fascinating, much more fascinating
Than the dark side of the moon
You're so exciting, hey babe I'm re-writing
This book of love called "You" (yes it's you)

Oh,
If I ever lose this heaven
If I ever, ever, ever lose this heaven ooh
Oh, I'll never be the same (never never be the same)

Oh,
If I ever lose this heaven
If I ever, ever, ever lose this heaven oooh
Whoa, I'll never be the same (nooo)

Oh,
If I ever lose this heaven
If I ever, ever, ever lose this heaven (if I ever lose it baby)
Whoa, I'll never (never never baby)
Never (no I won't no)
Never (ne-ver)
Never (be the same)

Oh,
If I ever lose this heaven whoa
If I ever, ever, ever lose this heaven
Oh, I'll never be the same (never be the same oh)

Oh,
If I ever lose this heaven.... (fade)

Meet me in the playground at a quarter to four
Wait till everybody's (long) gone
There must be so many things that we can explore
Maybe I can walk you home
If it starts to rain - we can take some shelter
I'd like to hold your little hand
My heart is spinning like a helter-skelter
We'll get to know each other if we can

Chorus
She said hey - wait a minute - hold on
She said hey - just a little bit - hold on
When ever I try to think of what it feels like to feel it
For the frst time, and was it really such a thrill
She said look, boy - but don't you touch


that ain't much - only a school boy crush

Got to keep this secret - can't take no chance
Don't want nobody else to know
There is nothing wrong with trying to start a romance
(But) we should take it rather slow
If we play it cool - It'll be all right
Don't let the teacher see us talking
But after school we will be out of sight
Everybody gonna think we just gone walkin'

Repeat Chorus

I've loved you for as long as I remember
And I know I'll love you all of my life
I'll try to stay with you
Oh, yes, I'll try

'Cause you got the power to satisfy me
But there's always something new about you out of reach, oh

Music, sweet music
You're the queen of my soul, oh
Music, sweet music
You're the queen of my soul

Ah, you're a lady, you're my world
Come on and speak to me
Ah, you gotta help me now
To find the right key

Major to minor
Keep it in step
Let me hear, you got to teach me
Your sweet harmony, oh

Music, sweet music
You're the queen of my soul, oh
Music, sweet music
You're the queen of my soul

All over the world there are so many you have gifted
And they give me inspiration every day
You're my way of life, yeah, oh

I know that we will always stay together
And I will love you strong
'Cause you've got me flyin'


On the wings of a song, hey

Look on the floor now, take me higher
Give it to me one more time and let me pass it on, oh

Music, sweet music
You're the queen of my soul, woo
Music, sweet music
You're the queen of my soul, woo

Music (Whoa'), sweet music
You're the queen of my soul

Woo'ooh'

Music (Music), sweet music (Sweet music)
You're the queen of my soul
Music (Music), sweet music (Sweet music)
You're the queen of my soul (Yeah'yeah')

Music (Yeah, yeah), sweet music (Oh'yeah'yeah')
You're the queen of my soul (Queen of my soul)
Music, sweet music (Sweet, sweet music)
You're the queen of my soul (Music, you gotta pass it on)

Music, sweet music (Don't you keep your music to yourself)
You're the queen of my soul
Music (Music), sweet music (Ooh, hoo)
You're the queen of my soul (Ooh'ooh'hoo'yeah'yeah')

Cloudy, use to be so easy to love you
Now babe, you seem to have a million problems on your mind, at the one time
Cloudy don't you drift away, ooh
Cloudy don't you drift away
Feel like I'm losing you, slowly but surely ( slowly but surely, oh babe)
Oh baby, maybe I could be the one to help you solve, all those things
Just try all you have to do is open up that door, ooh
What are you waiting for
Cloudy don't you drift away ( don't you drift away)
Cloudy, don't you drift away, no, no
Feel like I'm losing you, slowly but surely (slowly but surely oh babe)
Oh baby, oh baby, ooh
What you trying to prove, by turning me away


Your killing my love, ooh
What we had, ooh, is it real again, is it real again,ooh
Cloudy don't you drift away ( don't you drift away)
Cloudy, don't you drift away, yeah
Feel like I'm losing you, slowly but surely (slowly but surely oh babe)
Oh baby, oh baby, yeah
Cloudy, don't you drift away, yeah
Cloudy, Oh you seem so far away
Feel like I'm losing you slowly but surely, oh baby
Cloudy, don't you drift away
Cloudy, don't you drift away

It's a tricky situation
Hard to say just what the outcome will be
If you saw the riddle you can save your soul
Chase love's shadows till the river's running cold

Hey babe, get it up, get it up for love
Get it up, get it up for love, babe
Get it up, get it up for love

There's a longing in the people
No one knows just when the heartaches will cease
You can free and tell her, you can stay and fight
You can stand in line and scream, "Hey, it's just my right"

Hey babe, get it up, get it up for love
Get it up, get it up for love, babe
Get it up, get it up for love

So, a smile, another fallin' star
[Incomprehensible]
So until we find
Just put your hand in mine, oh yeah

It's a tricky situation
Heaven knows just where the struggle must end
If it takes forever, I'd got the time above
I won't desert you when the tables have turned

Hey babe, get it up, get it up for love
Get it up, get it up for love, babe
Get it up, get it up for love

Get it up, get it up for love, babe
Get it up, get it up for love
All the way for love, get it up all the way
Get it up all the way

Your love is a miracle
much more than a habit to me
Your love is a miracle
black magic in the first degree

I get by on your sweetness
Got a taste for that kind of
sugar in my tea
Don't you cut off my supply
there's no substitute for
this burning desire
you've given me

CHORUS:
When I come home at night
lookin' for something
to make me feel alright


Just to tease me you hold back
uh, you shouldn't do that
I'll go crazy and do something
you might not like

CHORUS

Baby when I'm out of reach
never really out of touch
You know you keep me hummin'
So please promise me, wherever I might be
Your love (will) keep me coming through

CHORUS

It's not what you do, it's just the way that you do it
Makes me feel this way
It's not what I see, it's what I read in to looks been giving me
Now make no mistakes, (make no mistakes) I'm not sure
I can take anymore of this waiting game
If I had my way
(If I had my way) I'd like to hear you say
You kinda feel the same way to
So,
When will you be mine, do I have to wait forever
When will you be mine do I have to wait forever,ever, ever
When will you be mine, when will you be mine, when will you be mine
It's not what you think , but when you take a drink
I feel this invitation
There's no need to worry, 'cause I'm in no hurry
I just want "that sensation"
I don't look for trouble, (don't look for trouble)
Sometimes that trouble, come looking for me, yeah


There's one thing that I want to do
Is take you out of here with me
So,
When will you be mine, do I have to wait forever
When will you be mine, do I have to wait forever
When will you be mine
When will you be mine
When will you be mine, do I have to wait forever
When will you be mine, do I have to wait forever
When will you be mine, what's the problem I've got to know
When will you be mine, please don't keep me in suspense this way
When will you be mine, this waiting is killing me
When will you be mine, I can't stand your drinking all night

Love, has finally come my way
You fill my everyday with love, I think I'll stay around
Your sweet love, has brought new life to me
A pair of eyes to see, so I don't have to dream about
Loving you is changing everything
I've got this song to sing,
For You, For Love
Oh girl, thank you for the time, we're spending
For the love, for the love that you give
Oh girl, thank you for my life
I thank you everytime I think of you and I
Now I live for love
When loneliness is gone, and happiness is found
With love I think I'll stay around
Your sweet love, has taught me something new
Has brought me home to you
So I don't have to dream about
Loving you, is changing everything
I've got this song to sing,


For You, For Love
Oh girl, thank your smile, for the time we're spending
For the love, for the love that you give
Oh girl, thank you for my life
