Bobby Womack - Poetry In Motion (2005) by Bobby Womack (보컬) on maniadb.com

Fly me to the moon?
Let me play among the stars?
Let me see what spring is like
On a-Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand?
In other words, baby, kiss me??

Fill my heart with song
And let me sing for ever more?
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore?
In other words, please be true?
In other words, I love you??

Fill my heart with song?
Let me sing for ever more?
You are all I long for?
All I worship and adore?
In other words, please be true?
In other words, in other words
I love you

Well, baby used to stay out all night long
She made me cry, she done me wrong
She hurt my eyes open, that's no lie
Tables turn and now her turn to cry

Because I used to love her, but it's all over now (2x)

Well, she used to run around with every man in town
She spent all my money, playing her high class game
She put me out, it was a pity how I cried
Tables turn and now her turn to cry

Because I used to love her, but it's all over now (2x)

Well, I used to walk in the morning, get my breakfast in bed
When I'd gotten worried she'd ease my aching head
But now she's here and there, with every man in town
Still trying to take me for that same old clown

Because I used to love her, but it's all over now (4x)

All the leaves are brown

I'm a midnight mover, all-night groover
I'm a midnight teaser, real soul pleaser
I'm a midnight hugger, all-night lover
Trust in me when you're down & out
I will always bring you out
Yaeh, oh yeah.

I'm a midnight teaser, real soul pleaser
I'm a midnight rover, after lookin' things over
I'm a midnight creeper, all-day sleeper
Trust in me when you're down & out
I will always bring you out
Oh, ohh.

Mover, groover, teaser, hugger,
walker, talker, lover, walker
Got to be a midnight mover
Got to be a midnight mover
Got to be a midnight mover... .

Oh, how I miss you, baby
Oh, how I miss you, baby
Listen to me

It's only been a week ago
But it seems like years
And it's getting sort of hard
To see through tears

'Cause now you're gone
And I know for myself
That I can't find happiness
With nobody else

Oh, how I miss you, baby
Oh, how I miss you, baby
Listen to me

I find myself calling out your name
In the middle of the night
And I still hear you saying, darling
No, no, two wrongs don't make it right

I thought I could cope it all alone
But I was so wrong
'Cause it didn't gain me one solitary thing
But an unhappy home

Oh, how I miss you, baby
Oh, how I miss you, baby

I wanna say sorry
Oh, but it ain't a strong enough word
For once in my life I'm so sincere
And I mean every word

I listen to what my friends had to say
But ooh, they messed me up again
'Cause I haven't seen a good day, baby
Since you know when

I never thought it could ever
Affect me this way
But I'm drownin' in a sea of misery
And all I can think of to say

Oh, how I miss you, baby
Oh, how I miss you, baby

I've got to keep on singing
Oh, how I miss you, baby
I swear, I swear

Oh, baby!
Girl, don't pull the rug from under my feet (don't do it baby)
Don't leave, don't leave me so, I'm talking in my sleep
This could be the start of a nightmare
Waking up and not finding you there
It would be more that I could stand

Oh, baby
Girl, don't leave me so I'm pacing the floor (don't do it baby)
Cause that's, that's what I'll do if you close the door
Maybe I've been too hung up on myself
But don't change me by putting my heart on a shelf
Cause that's more than I could stand

Why you wanna leave me?
Why you wanna go?
I promise not
To never, never hurt you no more

Oh, please don't leave me
Please don't go
By causin' my heart to ache
Causin' it to break

We, we've still got, a lot of love to give (yeah)
So turn around, baby (turn around)
While there's a lot of life to live
Leavin' me would ruin all of my plans
It would be like tying the both of my hands
And that's more baby than I could stand

Why you wanna leave me?
Why you wanna go?

Huh, you know life is funny when you look at it
Everybody wants love
But everybody's afraid of love
You know, I'm a true believer

If you get anything out of life
You got to put up with the toil and strife
Ooh You're pushin' my love
A little bit too far
I don't think you know
I don't think you know how blest you are
And your friend Annie May tell you all she see
Have you, ever thought she was tryin' to get close to me

Think it over, think it over, girl, think it over
That's the way I feel about 'cha
That's the way I feel about 'cha
I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind

I know you've been hurt and so have many others too
But that's the sacrifice that life put you thru
Put you thru, put you thru
Trust in me, my dear, have no fear
You don't know but God might have sent me here, sent me here

Think it over, think it over, girl, think it over
That's the way I feel about 'cha
(Any of us can leave for a long adventure)
That's the way I feel about 'cha

Don't take my love as a sign of weakness
Check into the situation, girl
Dig a little deeper

Think it over, think it over, girl, think it over
That's the way I feel about 'cha
That's the way I feel about 'cha

Fellas I wonder would you mind if I talked to ya for a minute. You know, sometimes we have the tendency, or should I say we forget, what a woman needs every now and then. That is, if you wanna keep your thing together.
Listen to me now

Do the things that keeps the smile on her face
Say the things that make her feel better everyday
Then you got to stay on your Ps and Qs
If you don't, the woman you can easily lose

Whoa, oh, I had a love and I lost her
And no one can help me share the pain that she caused me
Oh, a woman's gotta have it
I believe, she's gotta know that she's needed around
When you kiss her, you gotta make her feel it
Every time boy,
She wants to know that she's not walkin' on shaky ground

Oh, yeah
Well, think it over
Think it over, my brother
Don't take for granted the smile on her face
Check a little bit closer, you might find a tear trace
Maybe the girl might never say a mumbling word
But you gotta make sure that her voice is heard

Whoa, oh, I had a love and I lost her
And no one can help me share the pain that she caused me
Oh, a woman's gotta have it
I believe, she's gotta know that she's needed around
When you kiss her, you gotta make her feel it
Every time boy
She wants to know that she's not walkin' on shaky ground

So if you've got a love
And you wanna keep her
You got to give her what she wants when she wants it
Where she wants it
And how she wants it
Every doggone time she feels she needs it
What I'm tryin' to say
A woman gotta have it
Hey, hey, hey, a woman gotta have it

Everybody claims that they want the best things outta life
Ha, but not everyone, not everyone wanna got through the toils and strifes

Like this particular fellah, walks around all day long singin' this song
Sha na lah dah dah lah dah dah dah dah

Harry Hippie, lies asleep in the shade
Life don't bug him cause he thinks he's got it made
He never worry about nothin' in particular
Oh, he might even sell free press on Sunset

I'd like to help a man when he's down
but I can't help him much
when he's sleepin' on the ground

He's like a bottle in water
Harry just floats through life
Walks around all day long singin' this song
Whoa, whoa, whoa, oh yeah

Mary Hippie, she's Harry's lady
Panhandles money just to feed Harry's baby
She can lie down a story so incredible
Man, you wanna help her take the food home and put it on the table

I'd like to help a man when he's down
But I can't help ya, Harry
If you wanna sleep on the ground.
Sorry Harry, you're too much weight to carry around

But he still walks around all day singin' this song
Sha dah dah dah sha nah nah nah nah nah
Nah sha lah lah lah lah dah dah dah

Street child, street child
Tell me where will you be goin'
When old man winter gets his horn and starts blowin'
Will you hang around LA
Or hitch a ride on a freeway
Meet an old familiar face in a new place

I'd like to help a man when he's down
But how can I help him if he's somewhere outta town
Sorry Harry, think I'm gonna put you down
Sha dah dah dah sha dah dah dah dah
Sha lah lah lah lah dah dah dah
Everybody help me sing this song, oh yeah

I can't begin to knowin'
But then I know it's growing strong
Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Who'd have believed you'd come along

Hands, touchin' hands
Reachin' out
Touchin' me
Touchin' you

Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would

But now I
Look at the night
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurtin' runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when I'm with you

Warm, touchin' warm
Reachin' out
Touchin' me
Touchin' you

Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
Oh, no, no

Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
Sweet Caroline

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I was the third brother of five
Doing whatever I had to do to survive
I'm not saying what I did was all right
Trying to break out of the ghetto was a day-to-day fight

Been down so long, getting up didn't cross my mind
But I knew there was a better way of life that I was just trying to find
You don't know what you'll do until you're put under pressure
Across 110th Street is a hell of a tester

Across 110th Street
Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak
Across 110th Street
Pushers won't let the junkie go free
Across 110th Street
Woman trying to catch a trick on the street, ooh, baby
Across 110th Street
You can find it all in the street

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-oh-oh

I got one more thing I'd like to talk to y'all about right now

Hey, brother, there's a better way out
Snorting that coke, shooting that dope, man, you're copping out
Take my advice, it's either live or die
You got to be strong if you want to survive

The family on the upper side of town
Would catch hell without a ghetto around
In every city you'll find the same thing going down
Harlem is the capital of every ghetto town
Help me sing it

Across 110th Street
Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak
Across 110th Street
Pushers won't let the junkie go free
Oh, across 110th Street
A woman trying to catch a trick on the street, ooh, baby
Across 110th Street
You can find it all
In the street
Yes, you can

Oh, look around you, look around you
Look around you, look around you
Yeah
Yeah

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

I'm lookin' for?

Girl, you're welcome...stop on by
You know I'll be here, baby
To dry your eyes, to dry your eyes
But I'm gettin' tired of being that second guy
Don't you be no fool, baby
You 'bout to lose your old standby

Is it the material things that he's givin'
Can you truly say that you're happy livin'
True love, I'm the one that's giving
I'm tryin' to keep from hurtin' your feelings
Oh, baby, stop on, stop on, stop on by

Girl, you're welcome, stop on by
One day, one day, one day one day, one day
I might even want to make you cry
Don't take for granted
I'll always be there
‘Cause there's some woman somewhere
That could truly need me (think about it, baby)

Is it the material things that the man is givin'
Can you truly say that you're happy livin'
True love, I'm the one that's giving
I'm tryin' to keep from hurtin' your feelings
Oh , stop on, stop on, stop by, stop on by

I'm lookin' for a love

Searching everywhere gotta, gotta, gotta

Someone to get up in the mornin'
And rub my head
Someone to fix my breakfast
And bring it to my bed

Someone to do a little housework
And back with me again yeah
With lots of love and kisses
And [Incomprehensible]
But right now, oh

And I'm searching everywhere
And I'm lookin' I'm lookin'
I'm lookin', I'm lookin'

I'm lookin' for a love
I'm lookin' for a love
I'm lookin' for a love

Love has finally come at last
And I'm never gonna give it back
Ooh, no, no, no

Love has finally come at last
And I'm never gonna give it back
Ooh, no, no, no, no, no

Just like an old cliche
One that simply says
You can't miss what you never had

I thought that love was just a feeling
That I'd give to him and in return
He'd give it back

But it's more than a friendly sensation
Oh, I had to be tripping out on the girls
Body vibration

But I knew, oh, oh, oh yeah

Love has finally come at last
And I'm never gonna give it back
Oh, no, no, no

I'm so glad, I can stand here today and say

Love has finally come at last
And I'm never gonna give it back
Oh, no, no, no, no, no

Listen to me now

Just like a tender young virgin
In her first love affair
I doubt if she'd ever do it again
Would she even care

But as time pressed on
Ooh, ooh, the girl caught on
Nothing more she'd do with the boy
She seemed to want it, want it, want it

But there's one side of love
I'd never, never, never known
Baby, until you came along
I can, I can tell the world

Love has finally come at last
And I'm never gonna give it back
Oh, no, no, no

Love has finally come at last
And I'm never gonna give it back
Oh, no, no, no, no, no

Break it down to me easy
'Cos everybody needs some kind
Of love in their life
Some kind of shape, form or fashion

Some kind of shape, form or fashion
Oh, and just like the flowers need the rain
And they need, they need love to grow

I got you baby
That's all you'll ever need
Chased away the blues in my life
You've got a way of making everything alright

Baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Somebody, understand me now

Love has finally come at last
And I'm never gonna give it back
Ooh, no, no, no

When something happen good to you
Seem like you just wanna
Let everybody know, let everybody know

Ve has finally come at last
And I'm never gonna give it back
Ooh, no, no, no, no, no

Love has finally come at last
And I'm never gonna give it back
Ooh, no, no, no

Love has finally come at last
And I'm never gonna give it back
Ooh, no, no, no, no, no

Love has finally come at last
And I'm never gonna give it back
Ooh, no, no, no
