Listen everybody, especially you girls
Is it right to be left alone
While the one you love is never home?
I love too hard, my friends sometimes say
But I believe, I believe
That a woman should be loved that way
But it hurts me so inside
To see her treat me so unkind
Somebody, somewhere tell her it's unfair

Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Somebody

Is it right to be treated so bad
When you've given everything you had?
Even tossin' in my sleep
'Cause I haven't seen my baby all week
Now, you chicks do agree
That this ain't the way love's supposed to be
Let me hear, let me hear you say yeah, yeah

Up early in the morning with her on my mind
Just to find out all night that I've been cryin'
But I believe a woman's a man's best friend
So I'm gonna stick by her till the very end
But she causes so much misery I forget how
Love is supposed to be
Somebody, somewhere, tell her it ain't fair

Can I get a witness?
I want a witness
Witness, witness
Witness, witness

Everybody knows, especially you girls
Love can be sad
But I have a love that's twice as bad
Now all you chicks agree
That this ain't the way its's supposed to be
Let me hear you, let me hear you say yeah, yeah

I want a witness
I want a witness
I want a witness
I want a witness

Well, I've got two lovers and I ain't ashamed
Two lovers, and I love them both the same

Let me tell you 'bout my first lover:
He's sweet and kind and he's mine, all mine
He treats me good like a lover should
And makes me love him
I really really love him
Wo wo oh (wo oh)
I love him so (love him so)
And I'll do everything I can to let him know

Well, I've got two lovers and I ain't ashamed
Two lovers, and I love them both the same

Let me tell you 'bout my other lover:
You know, he treats me bad, makes me sad
Makes be cry, but still I can't deny
That I love him
I really really love him
Wo wo oh (wo oh)
I love him so (love him so)
And I'll do everything I can to let him know

Darling, well
Don't you know that I can tell
Whenever I look at you
That you think that I'm untrue
'Cause I say that I love two
But I really really do
'Cause you're a split personality (personality)
And in reality (reality)
Both of them are you (they both are you)

Well, I've got two lovers and I ain't ashamed
Two lovers, and I love them both the same
Two lovers, and I ain't ashamed...

Bernadette, people are searchin' for
the kind of love that we possess.
Some go on searchin' their whole life through
and never find the love I've found in you.

And when I speak of you I see envy in other men's eyes,
and I'm well aware of what's on their minds.
They pretend to be my friend, when all the time
they long to persuade you from my side.
They'd give the world and all they own
for just one moment we have known.

Bernadette, they want you because of the pride that gives,
But Bernadette, I want you because I need you to live.
But while I live only to hold you,
Some other men, they long to control you.
But how can they control you Bernadette,
when they can not control themselves, Bernadette,
from wanting you, needing you,
But darling you belong to me.

I'll tell the world you belong to me,
I'll tell the world, you're the soul of me,
I'll tell the world you're a part of me.

In your arms I find the kind of peace of mind
the world is searching for,
But you, you give me the joy this heart of mine
has always been longing for.

In you I have what other men long for.
All men need someone to worship and adore,
that's why I treasure you and place you high above,
for the only joy in life is to be loved.
So whatever you do, Bernadette, keep on loving me,
Bernadette, keep on needing me,
Bernadette.

Honey, you do me wrong
But still I'm crazy about you
Stay away too long
And I can't do without you

Every chance you get you seem to
Hurt me more and more
But each hurt makes my love
Stronger than before

I know flowers go from rain
But how can love grow from pain

Ain't that peculiar
A peculiarality
Ain't that peculiar, baby
Peculiar as can be

Oh, you tell me lies
That should be obvious to me
I've been so much in love with you baby
Til I don't wanna see

That things you do and say
Are designed to make me blue
It's a doggone shame my love for you
Makes all your lies seem true

If the truth makes love last longer
Why do lies make my love stronger

Ain't that peculiar, baby
Peculiar as can be
Ain't that peculiar
A peculiarality

Huh, huh, huh
Hey, hey
Huh, huh, huh
Hey, hey
Huh, huh, huh
Huh, huh, huh

I cried so much just like a child
That's lost its toy
Maybe baby you think these tears I cry
Are tears of joy

A child can cry so much
Until you do everything they say
But unlike a child my tears don't help me
To get my way

I know love can last through years
But how can love last through tears

Ain't that peculiar, baby
A peculiarality
Ain't it peculiar, honeyy
Peculiar as can be

Say I don't understand it, baby
It's so strange something
Ain't it peculiar, darlin'

I'd run but there's no where to go
'Cause heartaches will follow me I know
Without your love, the love I need
It's the beginning of the end for me

'Cause you've taken away all me reasons for livin'
When you pushed aside all the love I've been giving
Now wait a minute

Didn't I teach you right, didn't I?
Didn't I do the best I could, didn't I?
So don't you leave me

Standin' in the shadow of love
I'm gettin' ready for the heartaches to come
Don't you see me standing in the shadow of love
Just tryin' my best to get ready for the heartaches to come

All alone I'll desperately be
With misery my only company
Come today, in fact come tomorrow

Sorrow, I ain't got nothin' but sorrow
Don't your conscience bother you
How can you watch me cry after all I've done for you
Now hold a minute

Gave you all the love I had, didn't I?
When you needed me I was there, now wasn't I?
(Standing in the shadows of love
Gettin' ready for the heartaches to come)
I've tried not to cry out loud
No gal you ain't gonna help me now
What did I do to cause all this grief
Now what'd I say to make you want to leave
Now wait a minute
I gave my heart and soul to you, didn't I?
Now didn't I always treat you good, didn't I?
I'm Standing in the shadows of love
I'm gettin' ready for the heartaches to come
Hope to see you standing in the shadows of love
Tryin' my best to get ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of...

Maybe you'll wanna give me kisses sweet
But only for one night and no
And maybe you'll go away and never call
And a taste of honey's worse than none at all
Oh little girl, in that case I don't want no part
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 givin' me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion
Ooh
Maybe you think that love would tie you down
And you don't have the time to hang around
Maybe you think that loves only for fools
And so it makes you wise to break the rules
Oh little girl
In that case I don't want no part
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 givin' me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
In that case I don't want no part
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 givin' me
A lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion
Oh, little girl
I second that emotion
FADES-
Ooo little girl I

For once in my life
I have someone who needs me
Someone I've needed so long
For once unafraid
I can go where life leads me
Somehow I know I'll be strong

For once I can touch
What my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Oh, someone warm like you
Would make my dream come true, yeah, yeah, yeah (for once in my life)

For once in my life
I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before (not like it's hurt before)
For once I have something
I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore (I'm not alone anymore)

For once I can say
This is mine, you can't take it
As long as I know I have love I can make it
For once in my life
I have someone who needs me
(Someone who needs me) A-heh, heh, hey yeah
(Someone who needs me) Oh my baby love, baby

[Harmonica Solo]

It's twenty five miles from home
Girl, my feet are hurting mighty bad
Now I've been walking a three day, two lonely nights
You know that I'm mighty mad
But I got a woman waiting for me
That's gonna make this trip worthwhile
You see she's got the kind of lovin' and a kissing
A make a man go stone wild
So I got to keep on walkin'
I got to walk on, oh ho ho
I, I, I, I'm so tired
But I just can't lose my stride

I got fifteen miles to go now
And I can hear my baby calling my name
It's as if as though I'm standing at her front door
I can hear that doggone plain
Now I'll be so glad to see my baby
And hold her in my arms
Now when I kiss her lips
I turn a back over flip and I'll forget these feet of mine
I got to keep on walkin'
I got to walk on oh ho ho
I, I, I, I, I'm so tired but I just can't lose my stride
Walk on let me tell you ya'll I, I, I, I, I, I'm so tired
But I just can't lose my stride
Come on feet don't fail me now
I got ten more miles to go
I got nine, eight, seven, six, eight, six
I got a five more miles to go
Now over the hill just around the bend
Huh although my feet are tired I can't lose my stride
I got to get to my baby again

Last week my life had meaning
It was beautiful and so sweet
But now it's nothing, nothing without you baby
My whole world is incomplete
Cause honey I can't see you no more
That was all that you said baby
But you just might as well have placed a gun to my head
Baby, baby, oh why did you do it
My whole world ended
The moment you left me
yeah baby, honey, my whole world ended
The moment you left me
It tumbled down to the ground, baby

Did you ever mean those sweet things
All that you use to say
did you mean 'em baby
A lovely, lovely garden and a little baby someday
Oh tell me baby
Where did I go wrong, honey
Whatever changed your mind, baby
I've asked myself these questions over a million times
Baby, baby, oh baby
My whole world ended the moment you left me
It tumbled down to the ground, baby, baby, baby
Oh baby now my body is numb
I feel so senseless to the touch
My life is so wasted, so wasted without you
I guess I love you much too much
Oh baby how can I face tomorrow
When yesterday is all I see
I just don't want to face tomorrow
If you're not sharing it with me
Baby, baby oh tell me why my whole world ended
The moment you left me
Oh yes it did, baby, baby
My whole world ended the moment you left me
It tumbled down to the ground
Baby, I keep holding on, holding on
Although your love is gone, baby

La la la la la la, La la la la la la

My cherie amour, lovely as a summer day
My cherie amour, distant as a Milky Way
My cherie amour, pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine

In the cafe or sometimes on a crowded street
I've been near you, but you never noticed me
My cherie amour, won't you tell me how could you ignore
That behind that little smile I wore
How I wish that you were mine

La la la la la la, La la la la la la
La la la la la la, La la la la la la

Maybe someday, you'll see my face among the crowd
Maybe someday, I'll share your little distant cloud
Oh, cherie amour, pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine

La la la la la la, La la la la la la
La la la la la la, La la la la la la

Baby, baby
You don't understand
How much I love you baby
And how much I wanna be your only man, oh baby
Baby, baby, baby
You don't have to go
Stay a little while longer baby
I wanna talk to you just a little more
I see the little tears in your eyes about to fall
You are wondering if I'm for real
But if you cry, I wonder why you cry
I tell you, know why this is how I feel
Baby I'm for real
Baby I'm for real
Baby I'm for real
But if you really wanna know the truth about it
Girl, I just can't live with out you
And that's why I'm confessing my love to you
So that I can live my whole life with you
Baby, baby, baby
Don't leave
Never, never, never, never gonna leave you baby

Never met a girl could make me feel

You went to school to learn, girl
Things you never, never knew before
Like “I” before “E” except after “C”
And why two plus two make four
Now I’m gonna teach you
All about love, dear
Sit yourself down, take a seat
All you gotta do is repeat after me

ABC, easy as 1 2 3
Ah, simple as Do Re Mi
ABC, 1 2 3
Baby, you and Me Girl

Come on, let me love you a little bit
I’m gonna teach you how to sing it out
Come on, come on, come on
Let me show you what it’s all about


Reading and writing, ’rithmetic
Are the branches on the learning tree
But listen, without the roots of love
Let me tell you, girl
Your education ain’t complete
Tea-tea-tea teacher’s gonna show you
How to get an “A”
Spell “me”, “you” add the two
Listen to me baby, that’s all you gotta do

As simple as Do Re Mi
ABC, 1 2 3
Baby, you and Me Girl

Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can

(Just try)
Take a little time out of your busy day
To give encouragement
To someone who's lost the way
(Just try)
Or would I be talking to a stone
If I asked you
To share a problem that's not your own
We can change things if we start giving
Why don't you

Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can

(Just try)
If you see an old friend on the street
And he's down
Remember his shoes could fit your feet
(Just try)
Try a little kindness you'll see
It's something that comes very naturally
We can change things if we start giving

Why don't you
Reach out and touch
Why don't you (Why don't you)
Reach out and touch somebody's hand

Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can

If I Were Your Woman
Gladys Knight & The Pips
(Sawyer/McMurray/Jones)

If I were you woman
And you were my man
You'd have no other woman
You'd be weak as a lamb
If you had the strenght
To walk out that door
My love would over rule my sense
And I'd call you back for more

If I were your woman
If you were my woman
If I were your woman
If you were my woman
If I were your woman
If you were my woman
And you were my man

Yeah
She tears you down Darling
Says you're nothing at all
But I'll pick you up Darling
When she lets you fall
You're like a diamond
And she treats you like glass
Yet you make it hard to love you
But Babe don't ask

If I were your woman
If you were my woman
If I were your woman
If you were my woman
If I were your woman
If you were my woman
Here's what I'd do
I'd never no, no, no stop loving you

Yeah
Life is so crazy
And love is unkind
Because she came first
Will she hang on your mind
You're a part of me
And you don't even know it
I'm what you need
But I'm too afraid to show it

If I were your woman
If you were my woman
If I were your woman
If you were my woman
If I were your woman
If you were my woman
Here's what I'd do
I'd never, no, no, no stop loving you

If I were your woman
Here's what I'd do
I'd never, never, never stop loving you
If I were your woman
You're sweet lovin' woman

If I were your woman
If you were my woman
If I were your woman
If you were my woman
If I were your woman
If you were my woman...

...you'd need no other woman

Well, if you really love me
Won't you tell me
(If you really love me
Won't you tell me)
And if you really love me
Won't you tell me, yeah
Then I won't have to be
Playin' around

You call my name, ooh, so sweet
To make your kissing complete
When your mood is clear
You quickly change your ways

Then you say I'm untrue
What am I supposed to do
Be a fool who sits alone
Waiting for you

But if you really love me
Won't you tell me
(If you really love me
Won't you tell me)
And if you really love me
Won't you tell me, yeah
Then I won't have to be
Playin' around

I see the light of your smile
Calling me all the while
You are saying baby it's time to go

First the feeling's all right
Then it's gone from sight
So I've taken out this time to say

Whoa, oh, if you really love me
Won't you tell me
(If you really love me
Won't you tell me)
And if you really love me
Won't you tell me
Baby, tell me
Then I won't have to be
Playin' around
Let me know how you feeling
Oh, baby
