WRITERS DAVID ENGLISH

BERRY GORDY

Otis (& then Melvin - spoken)
By and by, you knew that you make me cry. (By and by, knew you'd make me cry)
And my love for you will never die. (My love will never, never die)
But I had to find out on my own.
(Check yourself, check yourself)
Paul:
Aww, that's what they told me. (Check yourself, check yourself)
I paid no mind. (Check yourself, check yourself)
I kept on breaking hearts, (Check yourself, check yourself)
All down the line. (Check yourself, check yourself)
Sometimes you just got to lose.
That's when you pay your dues.
I guess I was a fool, I guess I was a fool,
To think that... you'd stayed so true.
Aww, I really played in the game. (Check yourself, check yourself)
I'd always win. (Check yourself, check yourself)
Now the tables turn. (Check yourself, check yourself)
And I'm on the losing end. (Check yourself, check yourself)
Oh don't, feel sorry.
I had it coming, it's true.
'Cause I'm losing, yes, I'm losing, I'm losing you.
Before I go, I'd like for you to know.
You've had my heart from the very start.
But there's one more thing, before we part.
And that's I'm sorry, sorry, sorry to my heart.
Aww, I'm on my sad way. (Check yourself, check yourself)
Because I know I'd lost your love. (Check yourself, check yourself)
I'll kick it, like a pass. (Check yourself, check yourself)
But I'll be thinking of....
The good times. (The good times)
The bad times. (The bad times)
But good or bad, happy or sad,
Of memories. (Memories)
Sweet, sweet memories. (Memories)
Aww, memories... are all I have.
Aww, that's what they told me. (Check yourself, check yourself)
That's what they told me. (Check yourself, check yourself)
That's what they... what they told me. (Check yourself, check yourself)
Hmmm...

I don't care where you came from
Oh no, I don't care where you've been
All I know is that I love you
And I'm going to love you till the end (gonna love you until the end)

[Chorus]
'Cause you're my (dream come true)
You're my (dream come true)
You're my (dream come true)
And I love you better than anyone before

For every hand there's a glove
For every, for every heart there should be love
Yes, I've been waiting for such a long, long time
Don't worry, nobody, nobody is gonna change my mind
(Nobody's gonna change my mind)

[Chorus]

Yes, you're my (dream come true)
You're my (dream come true)
You're my (dream come true)
And I love you better than anyone before

(Better than anyone, better than anyone)

I love you (better than anyone)
Than anyone before (better than anyone before)
A-do me right because I love you (better than anyone)
Keep coming 'cause I love you (better than anyone)

Why don't you come, come back, to my paradise

You've got a smile so bright
You know You could have been a candle
I'm holding You so tight
You know You could have been a handle
The way You swept me off my feet
You know You could have been a broom
The way You smell so sweet
You know You could have been some perfume

(Chorus)
Well, You could have been anything that You wanted to
And I can tell, the way You do the things You do

As pretty as You are
You know You could have been a flower
If good looks was a minute
You know that You could be an hour
The way You stole my heart
You know You could have been a crook
And baby You're so smart
You know You could have been a schoolbook

(Chorus)
Well, You could have been anything that You wanted to
And I can tell, the way You do the things You do

You made my heart so rich
You know You could have been some money
And baby You're so sweet
You know You could have been some honey

(Chorus)
Well, You could have been anything that You wanted to
And I can tell, the way You do the things You do
You really swept me off my feet, You made my life complete
You made my life so bright, You make me feel alright

[chorus]

like a snow ball rolling down the side of a snow covered hill

(it's growing)
like the tale by the time its been told by more than one

Every day it grows a little more then it was the day before
my love for you just grows and grows ooooh

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?

Woo, alright.
Whose hairstyles are outta this world,
Whether it's straight, a bouffant, or it's curled, my baby. (My baby)
Hey, hey, hey, my baby, baby, pretty baby.
Hair soft like a baby lamb and I love to run my fingers through it, alright.
I hope she digs me the way I am.
But if I have to change you know I'm gonna do it for my baby.
Ooo, she's cute as can be.
Little girl gotta hold on me.
My ba... don't loose it!
She has a kiss so sweet it knocks me off my feet.
She makes my life complete.
Oh yeah, she's my baby.

FADING AWAY
WRITERS
WILLIAM "SMOKEY" ROBINSON
WARREN MOORE
ROBERT ROGERS

The feeling we used to get, whenever our lips met.
Like smoke from a cigarette, it's fading away.
Fading away, fading away.

It hurts me to think about, our love where there was no doubt.
Like a cloud when the sun comes out, it's fading away.
Fading away, fading away.

Hmm, you've changed and it's showing, baby.
You've changed and it's showing.
Tell me, where is your love going?

The plans we were making up, for now that we're breakin' up
Like dreams when you're waking up, are fading away.
Fading away, fading away.

The good times we shared alot, when you really cared alot.
Like steam from a coffee pot, it's fading way.
Fading away, fading away.

You've changed and it's showing, baby.
You've changed and it's showing.
Tell me, where is your love going?
Instrumental

Like smoke from a cigarette, a dream that you soon forget.
Our love from the day we met, it's fading away.
Fading away, fading away.

You've changed and it's showing, baby.
You've changed and it's showing.
Tell me, where is your love going?
Going.
You've changed and it's showing, baby.
You've changed and it's showing.
Tell me, where is your love going?
Going.

Aint too proud to beg
I know ya wanna leave me,
but I refuse to let you go
If I have to beg and plead for your sympathy,
I dont mind coz?you mean that much to me

Aint too proud to beg, you know it (sweet darlin?
Please dont leave me girl, dont you go
Aint to proud to plead, baby, baby
Please dont leave me girl, dont you go

Now I heard a cryin?man, is half a man
With no sense of pride
But if I have to cry to keep ya, I dont mind weepin?even this I can stand
cause I want to keep you any way I can

Aint too proud to beg, you know it sweet darlin?

I Ain't got time to think about money,
Or what it can buy (ah ah ah ah)
And I ain't got time to sit down and wonder,
At what makes a birdie fly (ah ah ah ah)

I dont have time to think about what
Makes a flower grow
And I never given a thought
To where rivers flow

(Too Busy Thinking about my baby)
O Yeah,
Aint got time for nothing else

I Ain't got time to discuss the weather,
Or how long its gonna last (ah ah ah ah)
And I ain't got time to do no studying,
Once I get out of class (ah ah ah ah)

And Im just a fella,
With a one, a one track mind
And when it comes to thinking about,
anything but my baby,
I just dont have time!

(Too Busy Thinking about my baby)
O Yeah,
Aint got time for nothing else

And I know it's all, Its alright
(Instrumental)

I Ain't got time to read a newspaper,
Or look at TV (ah ah ah ah)
Cause' I'm not concerned with what the future holds,
Instore for me (ah ah ah ah)

Im just a fella,
With a one, a one track mind
And when it comes to thinking about,
anything but my baby,
I just dont have time!

(Too Busy Thinking about my baby)
O Yeah,
Aint got time for nothing else

You know I'm too, too busy
(Too Busy Thinking about my baby)
O Yeah,
Aint got time for nothing else (Fades out)

When you're feeling alright, I never see you coming.
But when you're hurt, you always come a-runnin';
But one of these days I know, I gonna have to let you go
Then, tell me, who you gonna to run to (baby) where you gonna hide
I wanna know-who you gonna tell that you're hurting-ing inside

When you're going strong,(when you're going strong)I don't see
you at all (I don't see you at all); But when something goes wrong,
(when something goes wrong)that's when you call (that's when you call)
But if you keep doing me like you do, then I'm gonna turn my back on you
Then tell me, who you gonna run to (repeat chorus)Hmmm mm

When you climbed love's tree, you thought that love was a game;
but now you're out on a limb, oh yes, and you're calling my name.
But one of these days I'm bound, to let you come tumbe-ling down
Then tell me who you gonna run to (Repeat chorus to a harmonic fade out)

So in love, sad as can be, cause a pretty face got the best of me
Suddenly, you came into my life and gave it meaning and pure delight
Now good looks I've learned to do without, Cause now I know it's love that really counts

Cause I know that beauty's only skin deep ya,ya,ya
I know that beauty's only skin deep oh,ya, yes it is

Now you speak your words warm and sincere, it lets me know that you love dear
A pretty face you may not posses, but what I like about you is your tenderness
A pretty face may be may be some guys taste, but I'll that lovin' any old place

Cause I know that beauty's only skin deep ya,ya,ya
And you know that beauty's only skin deep oh,ya, oh baby

My friends ask what do I see in you? But it goes deeper than the eye can view
You have a pleasin' personality and that's an ever lovin' rare quality
Now show me a girl, a girl that's fine, an I'll choose the one with true lovin' every
time

Because I know that beauty's only skin deep ya,ya,ya
And I believe that beauty's only skin deep oh,ya

So if your lookin' for a lover, don't judge a book by it's cover
She may be fine on the outside, but soooo untrue on the inside

I know that beauty's only skin deep ya,ya,ya
And you know that beauty's only skin deep oh,ya

Your love is fadin' I feel it fade
Ah, your love is fadin' I feel it fade
Ah, your love is fadin' Woman I feel it fade
Ah, woman, woman your touch, your touch has gone cold
As if someone else controls your very soul
I've fooled myself long as I can
Can feel the presence of another man
It's there when you speak my name
It's just not the same
Ooh babe, I'm losing you
It's in the air
It's there everywhere
Baby, baby, babe, I'm Losing you
When I look into your eyes
A reflection of a face, I see
I'm hurt, down-hearted and worried, girl
'Cause that face doesn't belong to me
It's all over your face
Someone's takin my place
Ooo baby, I'm losing you
You try hard to hide
The emptiness you feel inside
Oo babe, I'm losing you
I can't bear the thought of losing you
Ah woman, can't you see what I'm goin' through
I'm losin' my mind (losin' my mind)
And it's all because of you
I can't bear the thought of losing you
I'm losin' my mind (losin' my mind)
And It's all because of you
I can't stand the thought of losing you.

Forgive this fool, my darlin'

Oh, this heart of mine
Carries a heavy load
When I think about
How I've hurt you so

After you've been
Been so good to me
I've been unfaithful, darlin'
I've caused you misery

A feeling of guilt
How it tortures me
And only you, my darlin'
Oh, can set me free and

Darlin', all
All I need
Is just to hear you say
You'll forgive me
Forgive me, baby
All, all I need
To have you touch my hand
Say you'll understand

A moment of weakness, darlin'
Caused me to stray
Your trust in me, dear
I threw away

When I look
Look into your eyes
I can see the hurt, baby
That you feel inside

Although I hurt you, baby
You never once complained
It makes me feel, sweet darlin'
That much more ashamed
Tears of guilt, tears of guilt
Runnin' down my face
Tears that only you, baby
Only you can erase and

Darlin', all
All I need
Is just to hear you say
You'll forgive me
Forgive me, baby
All, all I need
To have you touch my hand
Say you'll understand

Forgive this fool, my darlin'

I know I made a big mistake
When all your love, darlin'
Yes, I did forsake
It's on my mind
It's in my heart
This guilty feeling
Tearin' me apart

With every step I make
Every breath I take
I'll make it up to you
I'll make it up to you

Undo the wrong I've done
Undo the wrong I've done
I've been unfaithful
I know it's true
But I'll make it up to you, baby

All, all I need
Is just to hear you say
You'll forgive me
Forgive me baby
All, all I need
To have you touch my hand
Say you'll understand

Remember me the one who heard your cries
And reached out and dried your eyes

Remember me the one who found you and wrapped all my love around you
When you were all alone and your dreams were all gone
When you were nothing but a tear stained face I did feel for you
Girl your broken wing is mended and your need for me has ended
Girl you say you must be free
You wanna fly away from me
You were lost and your yesterday is my tomorrow
And now you say you must be free, baby

Sorry is a sorry word after all I've done for you
Sorry is a sorry word when I need a love that's true

Out of sympathy and all you feel for me
After all the sweet love I've given to you (given you baby)
Girl you walk away with the best part of me
The love I gave to you to give it to someone new
And sorry won't ease the feeling.

Sorry is a sorry word after all I've done for you
Sorry is a sorry word when I need a love that's true

NO MORE WATER IN THE WELL
WRITERS WILLIAM “SMOKEY?? ROBINSON, WARREN MOORE, ROBERT ROGERS



No more water in the well, no more.
No more water in the well, no more.
You take my love for granted
like water, water you spill and you waste.
Though love is thicker than water
it spills quicker than water
and you'll lookup one of these days,
and there'll be no more water in the well.
How long do you think my love can last
through sorrow pain and mistrust?
Today my love is strong,
but keep doing me wrong
and tomorrow it may turn to dust.

JUST ONE LAST LOOK
WRITERS LAMONT DOZIER, BRIAN AND EDDIE HOLLAND

Stop right there.
Let me picture you in my mind for the last time.
Soon you'll be walking out of my life.
Let me gaze upon you for the last time.

I need something to hold on to.
Something to carry me through.
All I need is one last look before you go.
So I'll have memories where ever I go.
One last look before you're gone.
So in my heart you'll live on and on.

Just one last look before we part.
So memories of you will fill my heart.
Let me remember my whole life through.
'Cause my happiest days, I've spent with you.
I remember your eyes that was my treasure.
Your tender lips that brought me pleasure.
Oh, loving you, I don't regret.
And all these things I don't want to forget.
How being without you will be hard to do.
But I want, I want what's best for you.
I rather see you happy with someone new, baby.
Than to bring, bring sorrow to you.
As you leave.
If you see tears in my eyes, just keep on walking.
Don't you worry.
All these tears you see, are tears of joy.
The joy of loving you and knowing you'd loved me.
It's given me enough happiness, so true.
To last my whole life through.
Just one last look before you go.
Let sweet memories overflow.
So the thought of you will live on and on.
Long after, after you're gone.
If I never see your face again.
Never feel your, your embrace again.
The happiness I've known with you,
Will stay with me, baby.
My whole through.
Just, just one last look before we part.
Just one last look to fill my heart.
Just one last look...

ANGEL DOLL
WRITERS MAURICE BRODNAX, STEVIE WONDER, CLARENCE PAUL

(Angel doll)
(Angel doll)
You excite me every time you speak.
When you touch me I get, oh, so weak.
I have never met a girl like you, baby.
You're the one that I'll give my whole life to.
All I wanna say is angel doll.
When I met you there with holiness.
You're my everything I must confess.
I have never known such tenderness.
Baby, you can't compare this love we share
That takes away my feels, yeah.
This love and real I can't conceal
And I'm so, so, so glad you're here.
Angel doll, it will be a great catastrophe, baby.
And my whole world would comin' down on me.
If our love would ever seize to be.
That's why I call you, angel doll.
You're the substance of my every prayer, baby.
I'll be happy with you anywhere.
Let me shield you with my loving care.
Heaven must have sent you, honey.
You're an angel in disguise, yeah.
'Cause all the love I wanted so long,
I can see it in your eyes.
Angel doll, you're the reason that I carry on, baby.
I can't make it, I can't make it by myself alone.
You're the one that I'm depending upon.
Angel doll, you know that I love you.
Angel doll, I put no one above you.
Angel doll, you knock me off of my feet.
Angel doll, you make my whole life complete.
Angel doll...

Follow your sorrow. (Oh, yeah)

Be brave and faithful and true. (Be brave and faithful and true)
Be very close to each other tonight. (Whoa, yeah)

[Instrumental]

I know how it feels to have wings on your heels.
And to fly, and to fly, and to fly down the street in a trance.
David: In a trance, in a trance, in a trance.
Fly down the street on a chance that you'll meet.
And you'll meet, not ready by chance. (?)

Don't cry, young lovers, whatever you do.
Don't cry because I'm alone.
David: Don't cry because I'm all alone, now.
All of my memories are happy tonight.
I had a love of my own.
I had a love of my own, like yours.
I had a love of my own.

Hello, young lovers, whatever you do.
Don't cry because I'm alone.
David: Don't cry because I'm all alone, now.
All of my memories are happy tonight.
I had a love of my own.

Eddie: Hello young lovers whoever you are.
Paul: Hello young lovers whoever you are.
Otis: Hello young lovers whoever you are.

Hello.
Hello.
Hello.

Here we all work 'long the Mississippi
Here we all work while the white folk play
Pullin' them boats from the dawn till sunset
Gettin' no rest till the judgment day
Don't look up and don't look down
Ya don't dast make the white boss frown
Bend your knees and bow your head
And pull that rope until you're dead
Let me go 'way from the Mississippi
Let me go 'way from the white man boss
Show me that stream called the River Jordan
That's the old stream that I long to cross

Ol' Man River, that Ol' Man River
He must know somepin', but he don't say nothin'
He just keeps rollin', he keeps on rollin' along
He don't plant taters, and he don't plant cotton
And them what plants 'em is soon forgotten
But Ol' Man River, jest keeps rollin' along
You and me, we sweat and strain
Bodies all achin' and wracked with pain
Tote that barge and lift that bale
Ya get a little drunk and ya lands in ja-ail
I gets weary and so sick of tryin'
I'm tired of livin', but I'm feared of dyin'
And Ol' Man River, he just keeps rollin' along

Sunshine blue skies please go away
The girl has found another and gone away.
With her went my future my life is filled with gloom
So day after day I stay locked up in my room.
I know to you, it might sound strange but I wish it would rain,

Cause so badly I wanna go outside
But everyone knows that a man ain't supposed to cry
Listen, I gotta cry 'cause crying eases the pain,
Oh yeah, people this hurt I feel inside.
Words could never explain, I just wish it would rain.

Day in day out my tear-stained face
Pressed against the window pain,
My eyes search the skies desperately for rain,
Cause rain-drops will hide my tear -drops
And no one will ever know that I'm crying,
Crying when I go outside.
To the world outside my tears,
I refuse to explain, oh I wish it would rain,
let it rain, let it rain.
I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes.
Oh, let it rain.
I'm a man and I got my pride
Til' it rains I'm gonna stay inside and let it rain.

please return your love to me girl/ forgive me for the wrong i've done/ and oh baby

i cry myself to sleep at night
for fear of another holdin you tight and oh baby/ oh baby
i miss you more with each passin day/
every night on my knees i pray oh

please return your love to me girl/
forgive me for the wrong i've done/
without your love im just no good/
i am just a lonely one

im sorry for the wrong i've done
now i know how it feels to lose that special someone
and oh baby/ i need you more than words can say/ without your love i can pass another day

chorus

i want you to know as long as there's/ a heaven above/
you'll be my one and only love/
and oh baby/ i cant control this growin' need
girl come and see about me

chorus

HOW CAN I FORGET
WRITERS NORMAN WHITFIELD, BARRETT STRONG

You asked me to forget about you.
Go out and find someone knew.
That won't be easy you see.
After all the things you've done for me.
Though I'm a man, I ain't too proud to say.
With you I stand tall and strong.
Without you girl, I'm nothing at all.
Like a snowman in the sun, my life was wasting away.
Your love gave me hope and strength, you're the reason I'm alive today.
How, I wanna know.
How can I forget ya, woman
After all you've done for me.
You'll always be apart of me.
Girl, you don't realize what your love means to me.
It's more precious than the air I breathe.
I wanna know, how...
How can I forget ya, woman
After all you've done for me.
Girl, you'll always be apart of me.
How, I wanna know.
How can I forget ya, woman
After all you've done for me.
You'll always be apart of me.
How, how, how... how can I forget ya, woman
You've been so good, good baby.
How can I forget ya
It's impossible to do.
How can I forget ya, woman.
You've been so good, good, good to me.
How can I forget ya
I want to know.
Ha-ha-ha... how can I forget ya

For once in my life
I have someone who needs me.
Someone I needed so long.

For once unafraid
I can go where life leads me.
Some how I know I'll be strong.

For once I can touch
What my heart used to dream of.
Long before I knew.
Aww, someone like you
Would make my dream come true.

For once in my life
I won't let sorrow hurt me.
Not like it's hurt me before.

For once I have something
I know won't desert me.
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.

For once I can say
This is mine, you can't take it.
Long as I know
I have love I can make it.

For once I can feel
That somebody heard my plea.
For once in my life
I have someone who needs me.

(For once in my life)
(In my life)

Dennis: They say give yourself a chance
And don't let life pass you by,
Temptations: Woo, woo, woo
Dennis: But the world, say, is a rat race
Where only the strongest survive,
It's a dog-eat-dog world
And that ain't no lie,
Temptations: Ain't no lie
Dennis: It ain't even safe no more
To walk the streets at night

Temptations: I'm doing fine
On cloud nine

fade to end

You played hookie from school and you can't go out to play, yeah!
Mama said, "For the rest of the week, in your room you gotta stay, yeah!"
Now you feel like the whole world's pickin'[ on you,
But deep down inside, you know it ain't true.

You're in punishment
'cause your mother wants to raise you in the right way, yeah!
But you don't care,
'cause you already made up your mind you wanna run away yeah!
You're on your way, Runaway Child, Running Wild,
Runaway Child Running Wild,
Better go back home where you belong.

Roaming through the city going nowhere fast, you're on your own at last,
Hey! It's gettin' late. Where will you sleep?
You're gettin' kinda hungry, you forgot to bring something to eat.
Oh, lost with no money you start to cry,
But remember, you left home wantin' to be grown, so dry your weeping eyes.

Sirens screamin' down neon lighted streets.
You want your mama.
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run.
Are they looking for you?
You're frightened and confused.
I want my mama.
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run,
but she's much too far away, she can't hear a word you say.

You've heard some frightening news on the radio,
about little boys running away from home,
And the parents don't see them no more.
You wanna stop to hitch a ride, I know,
But your mama told you never trust a stranger
And you don't know which way to go.

Streets are dark and deserted, not a sound nor sign of life.
How you long to hear your mother's voice, 'cause you're lost and alone.
But remember, you made the choice, Runaway Child Running Wild.
You better go back home where you belong,
Oh, Runaway Child Running Wild,
You better go back home where you belong.
You're lost in this great big city,
Go back home where you belong.
Not a familiar face, ain't it a pity,
Go back home where you belong.
Runaway Child, Running Wild,
You better go home where you belong.

I, my, my, my, my
Oh I,
Can turn the gray sky blue, I
You see I can make it rain, when I want it to, oh I
I can build a castle from a single grain of sand, I

And I can live forever if I so desire, yeah

'Cause girl your the key cause

You better believe I can, oh I
You see I can take the season's change just by waving my hand, let me say I
I can change anything from old to new girl, oh I
All the things I want to do the most, you see, I'm unable to do, yeah

Unimportant these things that I'm trying to do here today
'Cause girl, you see, I
(Can't get next to you babe)
I've been trying a long time

I, Lord I've been working on it, baby
I've been thinking about it
Oh I
But you see, I've been trying to call you all day long
But you see I don't have your phone number, honey, I
I've been, I've been, thinking about you baby, something awful
You see, I, oh I, sometimes I feel like I want to moan about it
And I, I don't just know what to say about it

[Melvin]
Yes, my skin is black,
But that's no reason to hold me back.

[Eddie]
Why don't you think about it?
Think about it, think about it, think about it,
Think about it...
I have wants and desires,
Just like you.
So move on the side,
'Cause I'm comin' through, oh!

[Temptations]
No matter how hard you try,
You can't stop me now.

[Eddie and Temptations]
No matter how hard you try,
You can't stop me now, oooh...

[Melvin]
Yes, your skin is white...
Does that make you right?

[Eddie]
Why don't you think about it?
Think about it, think about it, think about it,
Think about it...
This is a message,
A message to y'all:
Together we stand,
Divided we fall, oh!

[Dennis]
Black is a color,
Just like white.
Tell me: how can a color determine whether
You're wrong or right?
We all have our faults...
Yes we do.

[Eddie]
So look in your mirror.

[Temptations]
Look in the mirror.

[Eddie]
What do you see?

[Temptations]
What do you see?

[Eddie]
Two eyes.

[Temptations]
Two eyes.

[Eddie]
A nose, and a mouth, just like me, oh!

[Eddie]
Your eyes are open,
But you refuse to see,
The laws of society
Were made for both you, and me.
Because of my color,
I struggle to be free.
Sticks and stones,
May break my bones,
But in the end,
You're gonna' see my friend, oh!

[Temptations]
No matter how hard you try,
You can't stop me now.

[Temptations]
Say it loud!
No matter how hard you try,
You can't stop me now.

Oh no-there's got to be a better way
Say it again
There's got to be a better way-yeah
What is it good for?
War has caused unrest
Among the younger generation
Induction then destruction
Who wants to die?
War-huh
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War-huh
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Yeah
War-I despise
'Cos it means destruction
Of innocent lives
War means tears
To thousands of mothers how
When their sons go off to fight
And lose their lives
I said
War-huh
It's an enemy of all mankind
No point of war
'Cos you're a man
War has caused unrest
Among the younger generation
Induction then destruction
Who wants to die?
Give it to me one time-now
Give it to me one time-now
War has shattered
Many young men's dreams
We've got no place for it today
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord, there's just got to be a better way
It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
War
Friend only to the undertaker
War
War
War-Good God, now
Now
Give it to me one time now
Now now
What is it good for?

The only person talking about love thy brother is the preacher

Aggravation, humiliation, obligation to our nation

Ball of confusion, oh yeah
That's what the world is today, hey

The sale of pills are at an all time high
young folks walking round with their heads in the sky
the cities ablaze in the summertime, and oh
the beat goes on

evolution, revolution, gun control, sound of soul
shooting rockets to the moon
kids growing up too soon
politicians say more taxes, will solve everything
and the band played on

So, round and around and around we go
where the world's headed, nobody knows

Oh, Great Googamooga, can't you hear me talking to you

people all over the world are shouting end the war
and the band played on

Oh, Great Googamooga, can't you hear me talking to you
just a ball of confusion,
thatc

Feather in your cap if you catch a robber,
Dirt in your face if your scheme falls through
Pay close attention to my story
You'll find every word is true.
Junk man standing on the corner
Selling death, no conscience has he.

In the name of God, won't somebody stop him
Stop him, think about the children
Its a matter of life and death, you see.
Ain't no time to stand back and point your finger,
We've got to face reality.
No, no, no, no, no

Don't turn your back on this problem, people,
Too much depends on you and me.
Desperate with no sense of value,
Just an evil mind lurking through the night.

Because of you, the streets ain't safe no more for walking,
Cause you're feeling so up-tight.
Take a look around

Each day through my window I watch her as she passes by.
I say to myself, "You're such a lucky guy."
To have a girl like her
is truly a dream come true.
Out of all of the fellas in the world
she belongs to you...

But it was just my imagination
running away with me.
It was just my imagination
running away with me...

Ooh-hoo-hoo-hooh
Soon we'll be married..
and raise a family.
In a cozy, little home out in the country
with two children, maybe three.
I tell you, I can visualize it all.
This couldn't be a dream for too real it all seems.

But it was just my imagination -- once again --
running away with me.
I tell you it was just my imagination
running away with me...

Every night, on my knees I pray,
"Dear Lord, hear my plea...
don't ever let another take her love from me
or I will surely die.."
Ooh, her love is heavenly;
when her arms enfold me,
I hear a tender rhapsody...
but in reality, she doesn't even know me

Just my imagination -- once again --
running away with me.
Tell you it was just my imagination
running away with me.
I never met her, but I can't forget her.
Just my imagination..
-- ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah --
running away with me

Where I was born ev'rything was dull and dingy
I lived in a place they called the inner city
Getting ahead huh was strictly a nono
Cause nobody cares what happens to the folks
That live in the ghetto
Thousands of lives wasting away
People living from day to day
It's a challenge just staying alive
'Cause in the ghetto only the strong survive

Money I ain't got none, job can't find one
The streets raised me from a baby, ooh
Thousands of lives wasting away
People living from day to day
It's a challenge just staying alive
'Cause in the ghetto only the strong survive

Broken down homes, kids strung out
They don't even know what life's all about
Stealin' cars, robbin' bars
Mugging drugs, rat infested
And no one's interested

Kids dodging cars for recreation
Only adds to a mother's frustration
Breakings, folks comin' home
And finding all their possessions gone
Oh it's an ev'ry day thing - well well - in the ghetto
Oh it's an ev'ry day thing in the ghetto

Where I was born ev'rything was dull and dingy
I lived in a place they called "The Inner City"
Getting ahead was strictly a no no
'Cause nobody cares what happens to the folks
That live in the ghetto
Thousands of lives wasting away
People living from day to day
It's a challenge just staying alive
'Cause in the ghetto only the strong survive

Money I ain't got none, job can't find one

Break-ins, folks comin' home
And finding all their possessions gone
Oh it's an every day thing, well well, in the ghetto
Oh it's an every day thing in the ghetto

Law of the land

Some people are always heaven made
Some people will live impermanent for the rest of their days
Time marches on
Yesterday is better than tomorrow
Life is uncertain, let me hear you say 'yeah'
That is that, oh yes it is
There'll be days of sunshine and laughter
But don't forget you will have to shed some tears - oho

It's the law of the land - my brother - oh
Whether you like it or you'll understand - ah hey hey
It's the law of the land - hey hey hey hey
'Cause made by almighty men

Live by the good book if you're able
You must play your cards on top of the table
When you gather you either win or lose
In life's ev'rybody's got to pay some dues - well

It's the law of the land - well well well
Whether you'll like it or you'll understand - you can't change it
It's the law of the land - ah-how
'Cause made by almighty men - oh hey

Hey, it's the law, the law of the land
Whether you'll like it or you'll understand
It's the law, the law of the land
'Cause made by almighty men

A teacher man can't be found
Until you find yourself - think about it
You might not like being, well you ought, but you'd better start like it
But you sure can't be nobody else
In other words: I can't be you - ain't no quit, yeah - you can't be me
Well well, that's all with you, my sister an' brother
And that's the way that good life meant to be - hey-ho

It's the law of the land - well
Whether you like it or you'll understand - say say
It's the law of the land - hey yeah oh
'Cause made by almighty men

Look at here
The tools of a ????man's day has got him by corrupt????
For your own protection your Gods you must love
What goes around comes around
And what goes up, yeah, must come down - aha

It's the law of the land - well well well well
Whether you like it or you'll understand
It's the law of the land - well well well
'Cause made by almighty men - aha

It's the law of the land - ev'rybody else say
Whether you like it or you'll understand ...

Lady luck and a 4 leaf clover
Wanting this hurt I feel all over
My life was one special occasion
Till your leavin' ended the situation
That's why I'm standin' on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down
Standin' on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down
My car got repossessed this morning
Hardest times I've seen in years
Lord, you got to throw me a life preserver
Cause I'm about to drown in my own tears
That's why I'm standin' on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down
Standin' on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down

Temptations -laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalaaala la la

Richard- So you're through with love
Any you say
It's just a waste of time

Temptations- waste of time you blew my mind

Richard- There are two sides to love
And if you will
I'd like to show you mine
Girl love has it's ups and downs
sometimes like a merry go round, going round and around and around and around
Never knowing where you're bound

Damon - I may not be the one you want
But I'm sure the one you need

Richard - Give me a chance to prove
Love shared by me and you can be

Temptations - Heavenly ( x3)

Fading - love can be, love can be (aaah aah ah aaah)

I've been so many places
In my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs
I've made some bad rhyme

I've acted out my love in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now
And I'm singing this song to you

I know your image of me
is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly
But darling, can't you see

There's no one more important to me
Darling, can't you please
see through me
Cause we're alone now
And I'm singing this song to you

You taught me precious secrets
of the truth withholding nothing
You came out in front
And I was hiding

But now I'm so much better
And if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody
Cause my love is in there hiding

I love you in a place
Where there's no space and time
I love you for my life
You are a friend of mine

And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone
And I was singing this song to you

But I love you in a place
Where there's no space and time
I love you for my life
You are a friend of mine

And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone
And I was singing this song for you


해석..

살아 오면서
여러 곳을 떠돌며
수 많은 노래를 불렀지만
형편없는 곡도 있었죠

수만 명의 관객이 지켜보는 가운데
무대에서 공연을 했지만
당신과 난 이제 홀로 되었군요
그래서 이 노래를 당신께 불러요

당신이 원하는 나의 모습이
내가 바라는 모습이란 걸 알아요
당신께 못되게 굴었었죠
하지만, 날 이해 못하겠어요?

내게는 그 누구도
더 소중하지 않아요
내 마음을 모르겠어요?
홀로 된 당신과 나
그래서 이 노래를 당신께 불러요

당신은 아무 것도 숨기지 않고
소중한 비밀을 내게 털어 놓았어요
당신은 숨김 없이 드러냈지만
난 숨어 버린 거에요

하지만 이제 난 예전 같지 않아요
내 말이 좀 어색하다면
멜로디에 귀를 기울여 봐요
내 마음이 그 안에 숨겨져 있으니까요

그 어디에 있든지
언제나 당신을 사랑해요
일생을 다 바쳐 당신을 사랑해요
당신의 나의 친구에요

그리고 생이 다해가면
우리가 함께 했던 때를 기억해봐요
우리는 헤어졌지만
당신께 이 노래를 드려요

그 어디에 있든지
언제나 당신을 사랑해요
일생을 다 바쳐 당신을 사랑해요
당신의 나의 친구에요

그리고 생이 다해가면
우리가 함께 했던 때를 기억해봐요
우리는 헤어졌지만
당신께 이 노래를 드려요

Wish that I could wind
Like a spiral stair through time
To your body next to mine
Warm and satisfied
Wish that I could catch
A night train to the past
Climb aboard and hear you ask
Darling come inside

Memories, memories
Sweet, sweet memories
Of days gone by
That make me cry
Memories, memories, memories
Sweet memories
That make me sad
They take me back
To you
(memories, memories
ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba)

Watching falling stars
On the grass by my own car
Making love there in the dark
Thinking we're alone
Old man shined his light
Trying not to act surprised
He left hard and all uptight
Told us to get on home

Memories, memories
Sweet sweet memories
Of love we shared
Of love we shared
Memories memories
Sweet memories
Of love we shared
We will never
Share them again
(memories memories
ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
ba ba ba ba ba ba ba)

Hey there pretty lady
Love has come my way
So nice to be involved
It's tough out there these days

I got my weather 'cause I'm so wrapped up in you
My heart is on the line
Tell me what more can I do, pretty baby
'Cause you're special, hey
Girl, you make me feel real good
Special to me, you see, you are special
Baby, you're so special to me

Hey baby, I can't believe the things you've done for me
You put me back on the right track
Think about you constantly
And I know in your heart that you feel the same way for me, baby
Late nights with me all alone, it's total ecstasy

All I can do is think about the the times
When I'm making sweet love to you
And there seems to be, I'm tellin' you girl
Some kind of magic when we touch
Don't you leave
Special, yeah, you are

Girl you make me feel real good

Baby girl, you're special

And I like that, oh you're so good
So special to me, you see

I put my heart on the line any time
'Cause I know that you'll let us guarantee, baby
You're so special

Finding you was incredible
Losing you would be unbearable
For you woman, I'd go through hoops of fire

Somethings are impossible
'Cause some folks never try
Some folks see an obstacle
And they never get by

I used to be that way before
I met you, baby
But the force of your gentle touch
Too much is not enough for me

Whoa, I'll go through hoops of fire
I'll do anything
(Anything)
To get close to you

I'll go through hoops of fire
To prove to you
(To prove to you)
That no one else will do

And nothing can keep me from you
No, no, no, no, baby

Finding you was incredible
In every way, you show me why
(Why girl)
Losing you would be unbearable
I'd lose the meaning you've brought to my life

You've done for me
What no one else could ever do
Through your love I've got the strength
To face up to anything
God, I'm telling you the truth

I would go through
(Hoops of fire)
To prove to you
(To prove to you)
That no one else will do

(Nothing)
Nothing
(Will keep me)
Keep me from you

I'll take a chance
I'd risk it all
I'll get back on my feet
If I should happen to fall

It's all because of you
That I am what I am
I'll get down on my knees
If you ask me to, don't you know

I'd go through
(Hoops)
Oh yes I will baby
(Of fire)
Whoa, I'll do anything
(Anything)
To get close to you

(Ah hoops)
Ah my, my, my, my, my, my, my, baby

Oh yes I will, I'll prove to you
(Prove to you)
That no one else is gonna do

No
(Nothing)
Nothing
(Could keep me)
Is gonna keep me from you, baby, baby

(Oh oh, hoops of fire)
I'll go through hoops of fire
Oh I'll do anything
(Anything)
To get close to you, baby

Listen
Somethin?s goin wrong
Is it in the homes
Kids killin kids
Ain?t nothing safe
They take guns to school
And break all the rules
It?s a shame the way that we?re livin
They?re fighting in Bosnia
And starving in Sumaria
From free loving days
And now there is AIDS
Our values have changed (Oh, yes they?ve changed)
People acting strange (yeah)
You have to watch your back(ooh)
Babies born on crack, oh
(chorus)
The error of our ways
Can we correct the mistakes we?ve made
I hope it?s not too late
God only knows our fate
The error of our ways
Let?s hope for a better day
Somethin?s got to change
Let us pray
Famlies accused of child abuse
You don?t know who?s tellin the truth
Society is like a sword
That needs killing that?s for sure
Great forest are dying
People standing in Welfare lines

Ecology is unbalanced
It?s a challenge
A strange situation
We lost a whole generation
The news on the air
Beware of the colors that you wear
The police are undefined (oh, yes they are)
Beware when you drive (or you might get jacked)
We gotta make a stand (oh, yes we do)
Cause things are out of hand
(chorus)
(Why) Are there so many guns
(Tell me why) So much death among the young
(Why) Oh tell me why
(Tell me why) It?s not easy for you to see
(Why) Can?t there be any peace
(Tell me why) Can?t we undo all the wrong that we?ve done
(Why) Oh it?s up to you and me
They?re fighting in Bosnia
And starving in Sumaria
From free loving days
And now there is AIDS
Our values have changed (Oh)
People acting strange (yeah)
You have to watch your back (oh, yeah)
Babies born on crack
(chorus)(3x)
