When at night I go to sleep
14 angels watch do keep
Two my head are guarding
Two my feet are guiding

Two to whom 'tis given
To guide my steps
To heaven
To guide me

When at dawn my eyes do wake
14 angels my peace do take
Two there are who need me
Two there are who feed me

Two who sway before me show me
All I've known
Is wrong, that I am
Not me

Two there are to take my soul
Away from here
To guide my steps

Ave Maria, maiden mild
Oh, listen to a maiden's prayer
For thou can't hear amid the wild
This thou, this thou can't save amid, despair

We slumber safe until tomorrow
Though we by man outcast relieved
Oh, maiden, see a maiden's sorrow
Oh, mother, hear a suppliant child
Ave Maria

Ave Maria, gracia plena
Maria, gracia plena
Maria, gracia plena
Ave, ave dominus

Dominus tecum
Benedicta tu in mulieribus
Et benedictus
Et benedictus fructus ventris
Ventris tuae, Jesus
Ave Maria

Christmas just ain't Christmas
Without the one you love
New Year's just ain't New Year's
Without the one you love

Underneath the mistletoe
I saw his face all aglow
Last year this time
Now I'm staying home alone
And this house ain't a home
Without that man of mine

Christmas just ain't Christmas
Without the one you love
New Year just ain't New Year's
Without the one you love

Twelve o'clock and all is well
And I was doing, oh, so swell
Last year, this time
Goin' shopping for presents together
Vowing to leave each other never
It was a waste of time

Christmas just ain't Christmas
Without the one you love
New Year just ain't New Year's
Without the one you love

Christmas just ain't Christmas
Without the one you love
New Year just ain't New Year's
Without the one you love

Christmas just ain't Christmas
Without the one you love
New Year's just ain't New Year's
Without the one you love

Do you remember me? I sat upon your knee
And I wrote to you with childhood fantasies
Well, I'm all grown up now, still need help somehow
Not for myself but for a world, a world in need

No more lives torn apart
And wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts

And every man would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never ever, ever end
This is my grown up Christmas list
My Christmas list

As children we believe
The grandest sight we'd see
Was something pretty
Wrapped beneath the tree

And heaven only knows
That packages and bows
Could never, ever, ever heal
A human soul

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal, heal
All broken hearts

Every, everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown up Christmas list

What is this illusion
Called the innocence of youth
Maybe in our blind belief
We can only find the truth

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
Time, time would heal
All broken hearts

Everyone would have a friend
And love would never end
And right would always win

This is my grown up Christmas list
This is my lifelong wish
This is my grown up Christmas list
My grown up Christmas list
I wish I found a [Incomprehensible]

And he always had some mighty fine wine, singin'

There's an old friend
That I once heard say
Something that touched my heart
And it began this way

I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I've been runnin' ever since
He said it's been a long time comin'
But I know my change is gonna come
Oh yeah

He said it's been too hard livin'
But I'm afraid to die
I might not be if I knew
What was up there beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time comin'
But I know my change has got to come
Oh yeah

I went, I went to my brother
And I asked him, "Brother
Could you help me, please?"
He said, "Good sister
I'd like to but I'm not able"
And when I, when I looked around
I was right back down
Down on my bended knees
Yes I was, oh

There've been times that I thought
I thought that I wouldn't last for long
But somehow right now I believe
That I'm able, I'm able to carry on
I tell you that it's been along
And oh it's been an uphill journey
All the way
But I know, I know, I know
I know my change is gonna come
Sometimes I had to cry all night long
Yes I did
Sometimes I had to give up right
For what I knew was wrong
Yes it's been an uphill journey
It's sure's been a long way comin'
Yes it has
It's been real hard
Every step of the way
But I believe, I believe
This evenin' my change is come
Yeah I tell you that
My change is come..

Baby, baby, baby, this is just to say
How much I'm gonna miss you,
But believe, while I'm away,
That I didn't mean to hurt you
Don't you know that I'd rather hurt myself?
(I'd hurt myself, I'd hurt myself)

Baby, baby, baby (baby), think of me sometimes (baby)
Because if loving you was so wrong (baby), then I'm guilty of this crime
(Guilty, I'm guilty, I'm guilty)
I'm bewildered, I'm lonely, and I'm loveless,
Without you to hold my hand (Reach out for me, boy)
If you'd just understand (Reach out to me, right now)

Those that we love, we foolishly make cry,
Then sometimes feel it's best to say goodbye, goodbye
But what's inside can't be denied
The power (power of love), the power of love (power of love) is my only guide,
Baby (oh), baby (oh)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, this is just to say
Just how much I'm really gonna miss you,
But believe, while I'm away,
(I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you)
That I really didn't mean, I didn't mean, I didn't mean to hurt you
Don't you know that, that I'd rather hurt myself? (I'd hurt myself)

Baby, I need you, I need you, I need you (I need you, I need you, I need you)
If I did you wrong, if I did you wrong (I'd hurt myself)
I need you, I need you, I need you (I need you, I need you, I need you)
If I did you wrong (I'd hurt myself)

If I lose this dream
I don't know what I'm gonna do
If I lose this dream
I'm dreaming about for me and you

If it goes away
I might as well hang it up
'Cause I don't know
If I have the heart or mind
To make it true
Or help it grow
And I only know, I only know, I only know

If I lose this dream
It's goodbye love and happiness, yes
You're the one I need
I don't want a love
That's second best
There've been all of my life
I wanted to do
That made me blue

Help me hold onto this dream
For sometimes dreams often come true
And they all come true, they all come true
For me and you
Wait a minute baby

And oh, yeah, that man takes me off all o' my pains and my ills

And the man sure makes me feel real - good

Come on and let the goot times roll
We're gonna stay here till we soothe our souls
If it take all night long

If you had a dollar, and I had a dime,
I wonder, could I borrow yours as easy as you could mine?
Because when you need my love, and I give time after time,
And turn around to find me no returns, then, my friend, you've used my dimes!

If there's water in the pitcher, and we both need a drink
To stay alive, my darlin', I'd need less water than you think...

My love, my love, these things, I swear, I say are true,
And all I'm really saying is be as good to me as I am to you...
Oh, yeah...

Listen to this!
Some people want, but they don't wanna give;
They can do all of the wrong in the world,
And got the nerve to not understand the meaning of loving me!
Starting today, tomorrow, and forevermore,
If you can't find it in your heart to do for me,
Then, baby, just don't darken my front door!

Baby, I want you to be as good to me as I am to you;
Whoo, baby! I don't think that's asking you too much to do...
Listen! Don't you walk around here, feeling like you can treat me any ole way,
Using my love, my time, my heart, day, day after day...
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, baby, baby, be as good to me as I am to you...
Whoo! Whoo!
Baby...

Now all crew come get some sunshine
summer time vibes come back again

Groovin' on a summer afternoon.
Groovin' couldn't get away too soon.

Now every woman every man come listen this one
from the heartical dan Mr. Pato Banton.
Me comin' in c-comin' in c-comin' in strong
with a positive summer time vibration.
Cause in the winter me can't take the cold
body start shiver when the breeze start blow.
Car can't start cause the engine froze
can't move me fingers, can't feel me toes.
But in the summer when the sun shine bright
kick off me boot put on me air nike.
Leave me car and jump pon me bike
it's this kind of weather I like.

Well everyday people are in a rat race
but if I could I would just slow down the pace.
Like a record on a deck, switch the speed
from 45 down to 33.
Woh! Nice and slow
sun a shine and breeze a blow.
Lord! Nice and easy
just a chill with me friends and family.

I can't imagine anything that's better
the world is ours whenever we're together
there ain't no place I'd rather be instead of groovin'!

Now in the struggle of life to achieve success
everyone goes through some form of stress.
The rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief
lawyer and the doctor, even the priest.

Told my darling that I had to go
It's your body, I don't care no more
Although you had me, time to get along

Money won't change you, momey won't change you...
But time will take your own do

Then you know, how to be treated
Hold me, baby, tell the world
That you're my woman, my only girl

Money won't change you, money won't change you...
But time will take your own do
I know you're happy
To know you're happy, and to know you're gone
Money won't change you
Money won't change you, mama
I said, money won't change you
But time will take you own

I said, put a smile as good as gold
But that smile now can't be sold
You said, baby, that you had to go
Back to somebody, I don't care no more
Told your friends I was a fool
The trouble's, woman, that you've got to go through
Other lover won't take me home
I have a...
Even in the street, even in the car too
Mashed potatoes and boogaloo
C'mon baby and let yourself go...
It's your body, I don't care no more
C'mon baby, c'mon baby, everybody, everybody
Need your hand, need your hand
Let me tell you I, I, I...
I'm down so long...

Only you can hear my soul serenade

I want to be free to fly away and sing to the world
About my soul serenade, my soul serenade
When you're not around there's a lonely sound
In my soul serenade, in my soul serenade

Everyone but you adores me
But do you know pretty soon they bore me
Let me tell you right now that they bore me
They bore me with their pretty little words
Those pretty little words of devotion

But oh, let me tell you right now
My message to 'em this evening
Is they can jump in anybody's ocean
Because only you hear my soul
My soul serenade, my soul serenade
Oh, my soul serenade, my soul serenade

There ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
There ain't nothing like the real thing
There ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
There ain't nothing like the real thing

I see your picture hangin' on the wall
It can't see or come to me when I call your name
I realize it's just a picture in a frame

I read your letters when you're not near
But they don't move me
And they don't groove me like when I hear
Your sweet voice whispering in my ear

There ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
There ain't nothing like the real thing

No other sound is quite the same as your name
No touch can do half as much to make me feel better
So let's stay together
Together, baby, together, together, together

I got some memories to look back on
And though they help me when you phone
I'm well aware nothing can take the place of being there

There ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
There ain't nothing like the real thing
There ain't nothing like the real thing
There ain't nothing like the real thing
There ain't nothing like the real thing
There ain't nothing like the real thing

Though you don?t call anymore
I sit and wait in vain
I guess I?ll rap on your door
Tap on your window pane

I want to tell you Baby
The changes I?ve been going through
Missing you.
Listen you

?till you come back to me
That?s what I?m gonna do

Why did you have to decide
You had to set me free
I?m gonna swallow my pride
I?m gonna beg you to (please baby please) see me
I?m gonna walk by myself
Just to prove that my love is true
Oh, for you baby

?till you come back to me
That?s what I?m gonna do

Living for you my dear
Is like living in a world of constant fear
In my plea, I?ve got to make you see
That our love is dying

Although your phone you ignore
Somehow I must explain
I?m gonna rap on your door
Tap on your window pane
I?m gonna camp on your step
Until I get through to you
I?ve got to change your view baby
?till you come back to me
That?s what I?m gonna do

If you want my lovin
if you really do
Don't be afraid, baby, just ask
you know I'm gonna give it to you
oh,and I do declare
I wanna see you with it
Stretch out your arms, little boy you're gonna get it

(chorus)
Cause I love you
(baby baby baby I love you)
there aint no doubt about it,
Baby I love you
I love you I love you I love you, I love you,
Baby I love you.

If you really wanna kiss me
go right ahead, i don't mind
all you got to do is snap your fingers
and I'll come a runnin, i aint Lyin'
Oh, what'cha want, little boy, you know you got it
I'd deny my own self before I'd see you with out it

(chorus)
Cause I love you.
(baby baby baby I love you)
there aint no doubt about it,
Baby I love you
I love you I love you I love you, I love you,
Baby I love you.

I have had my fun if I never get well no more
I have had my fun if I never get well no more
All of my health is failing
Lord, I'm going down slow

I'm going down slow
Please write my father and tell him the shape I'm in
Please write my father and tell him the shape I'm in
Tell her to pray for me
Forgive me for my sin
For all of my sin

On the next train south, look for my clothes back home
On the next train south, look for my clothes back home
'Cause all of my health is failing
Lord, I'm going down slow
I'm going down slow

All of my health is failing
Lord, I'm going down slow
I'm going down slow

Feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow
I feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow
I feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow
I feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow
I feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow

I wonder

I wonder my darling...
Where are you again tonight?
Are you holding someone else real tight?
Baby, I wonder...

My heart, my heart is aching
I believe that I'm a fool to let it go on breaking.
Maybe I wake up and find now that I'm mistaken
Oh but right now I wonder...

I've been through Lover's Lane
And I'm living life just the same
I've been travelling nowhere faced
And what I wanna know, what I wanna know is will it last?

Oh oh I wonder, I wonder my darling
Will you think of me? Will you think of me again tonight?

Or are you holding someone else real tight?
Oh yeah-he-he baby I wonder...

I've been through, I've been through Lover's Lane
And I'm livin' life, livin' it just the same
I've been travelling, been travelling nowhere faced
And what I wanna know right now, what I wanna know is will it last?

I wonder, I wonder, I wonder, I wonder my my my my my my my darling
Will you think of me? Will you think of me every day?
Although I may be a million miles away
Right now I wonder

Although I, although I may be a million miles away
Baby, baby, I wonder

Just let me love you tonight
Forget about tomorrow
My darling won't
You hold me tight
And never let
Never let me go

Cry your eyes
No tears no sorrow
Cling to me
With all your might
And never let me go

A million times or more
We said we'd never never never never part
Ah but lately
Lately I find
That you're a stranger
A stranger in my heart
Give me give me give me

Give me the night
In summer or in springtime
To tell the world
That you're the you're and you're everything of mine
And you'll never
Oh never let me go
No
You'll never let me go

I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
And I try
I tell ya, I try
Believe me, I try
I sure enough try
But I can't get no
I can't get no
No

When I'm drivin' in my car
And a man comes on the radio
Tellin' me more and more
About some useless information
That's supposed to power my imagination
I can't get no
Oh, no-no-no
Hey, what I say, yeah
Aw, baby, that's what I say
Yes, it is
Hey-hey-hey
Aw, baby, that's what I say
Sure enough

And I try
Baby, I try
Yeah, believe me I try
Sure enough try
But I can't get no
I can't get no
No

Well, I don't know what I can do
When I just can't do no more
Each thing new and?????? I try
Seems to turn out to be one big bore
I can't get no
Oh, no-no-no
Hey, yeah-yay-hey
Oh, baby, that's what I say
Said I'm fed up
Hey-yeah-yeah
Oh, that's what I say
Yes, it is
I can't get me no satisfaction
All I need is some social reaction
Yeah, yeah
Ohh-ah-yeah
Hey, I can't get no satisfaction
I need social reaction
Yeah-yay
Ohh-ah-yeah

The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you
While combing my hair, now,
And wondering what dress to wear, now,
I say a little prayer for you

Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, and ever, we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, forever, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me.

I run for the bus, dear,
While riding I think of us, dear,
I say a little prayer for you.
At work I just take time
And all through my coffeebreak time,
I say a little prayer for you.

Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, and ever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, forever, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me.


I say a little prayer for you
I say a little prayer for you

My darling, believe me
For me there is no one but you
Please love me too
(Answer his prayer)
I'm in love with you
(Answer his prayer now baby)
Answer my prayer now baby
(Answer his prayer)
Say you love me too

Forever
and ever
you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever
and ever
we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together
Forever
that's how it must be.
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me...

But I helped him a-drink his wine
And he always had some mighty fine wine, singin'

And don't you ever quit it (Ooh, boy)
So get out of bed the doctor said
'Cause you're the cure I need
For anything that's wrong with me

Here I am to hook you up
And that's exactly what I'm dreamin' of

(feat. Mary J. Blige)
(Denise Rich, Josh Ruben)

(Mary:)
Lately I've got this funny feeling
Something don't feel the same
But he's telling me I'm the one to blame
Yes I know that he still gives me good loving
But when he's deep inside
There's somebody else on his mind

(Chorus:)
(Aretha:) Don't waste your time
(Mary:) But it gets so hard to know
(Aretha:) Just walk away
(Mary:) You say that I gotta let go
(Both:) Seen it a millions times before
(Aretha:) You shouldn't take his stuff no more
(Mary:) Can't waste my time
(Aretha:) Girl, it's not hard to know
(Mary:) Should walk away
(Aretha:) Oh, you've gotta let him go
(Both:) Seen it a millions times before
(Mary:) Shouldn't take his ish no more

(Aretha:)
Sister girl, sister girl
It's much deeper than what you're thinking
When something don't feel the same
Hey you better believe his love has change
(And I have been telling you, telling you)
And what you're telling me
(Cuz it's been hurting me, hurting me)
It ain't, ain't any fool can see
He's got a sweetie on the side
Stop making truth out of his lies

(Chorus)

(Aretha & Mary:)
What's the point of love
When you got no trust
What's the point of staying
When you seen enough
What's the point of giving
What he don't deserve

(Mary:)
He don't deserve it
No you don't deserve it

(Aretha:)
Oh what's the point of feeling

(Aretha & Mary:)
Like there's nothing inside
What's the point of saying
That you still got your pride
What's the point of giving
What he don't deserve
This is a lesson of love

(Chorus until fade)

It's an ever changing time
I see, that clock upon the wall
Well it don't bother me at all
It's an ever changing time

And me, ever changing time
Everything is going so much faster
It seems like I'm
Watching my life, and everything I do
Wonder if the dreams that I believed in
Still come true

Caught in between, it comes back to
You and me running out of time, I gotta find me a better understanding
Everything keeps forgetting whats mine, I gotta find me a way, less-demanding
And we're holding on so tight, together, all of our lives

And I, I had some big idea
So much of my life, still not completed
Hopes and Fears
Watching it change, into something new
Wondering it Im gonna find the answer, loving you

All of my life, it comes back to
You and me running out of time, I gotta find me a better understanding
Everything keeps forgetting whats mine, I gotta find me a way, less-demanding
And we're holding on so tight, together, all of our lives

I see, that clock upon the wall, well it dont bother me at all
It's a ever changing time
(2x)

All of my life, it comes back to
You and me running out of time, I gotta find me a better understanding
Everything keeps forgetting whats mine, I gotta find me a way, less-demanding
And we're holding on so tight, together
(/i)And we're gonna be alright(i), together, all of our lives

I see, that clock upon the wall, well it dont bother me at all
It's a ever changing time
(5x)

Like a warrior that fights
And wins the battle
I know the taste of victory

Though i went through some nights
Consumed by the shadows
And was crippled emotionally

Somehow I made it through the heartace
I escaped
I found my way out of the darkness, kept my faith
Kept my faith

(Chorus)
And the river was deep I didn't falter
When the mountain was high
I still believed
When the valley was low
It didn't stop me
I knew you were waiting
Knew you were waiting for me

With and endless desire
I kept on searching
Sure in time our eyes would meet

And like the bridge is on fire
The hurt is over
One touch and you set me free

I don't regret a single moment
Looking back, when I think of all those disappointments
I just laugh, I just laugh
(Chorus)

So we were drawn together through destiny
I know this love we share was meant to be

It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be, yeah

VERSE 1: Sung by Aretha

You've been hanging round my boyfriend
You've been sayin that he's sweet, yeah
Girl I know that you've been talking
Because the talk is on the street
You say that you are gonna steal his heart
Well sweety you ain't gonna get that far
You're after somethin that don't belong to you
Well girlfriend I've got news for you
(spoken):What are you trying to say Miss Thang?

CHORUS
It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be
He ain't never, ever, never, never, never gonna be your man

VERSE 2: Sung by Whitney

Well I just ain't the kind of woman
To pick the fruit off of your tree, girl
And you keep saying that he's your man
Well that ain't what he said to me
He blow me kissses as he drives away
He sends me roses in the middle of the day, yeah
You think it's you that he's thinking of
But I'm the one he really, really loves
(spoken): So what am I tring to say? Don't dis me girl!!

DOUBLE CHORUS:
It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be

SPOKEN INTERACTION
A: So now what is this?
W: Well you know
A: That my man is supposed to be interested in you?
W: What can I say
A: You know, I realize that you're under pressure.
W: Yes, I am
A: And that you are suffering from delusions, but uh
W: Well
A: Don't be ridiculous

A: Get Real!
W: You better get real! You know the deal, he told me he loves me and that I'm just his forever

W: Oh, this is funny

I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain,
But it’s all right now, in fact, it’s a gas!
But it’s all right. I’m jumpin’ jack flash,
It’s a gas! gas! gas!

I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag,
I was schooled with a strap right across my back,
But it’s all right now, in fact, it’s a gas!
But it’s all right, I’m jumpin’ jack flash,
It’s a gas! gas! gas!

I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead.
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled.
I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I was crowned with a spike right thru my head.
But it’s all right now, in fact, it’s a gas!
But it’s all right, I’m jumpin’ jack flash,
It’s a gas! gas! gas!

Jumping jack flash, it’s a gas
Jumping jack flash, it’s a gas
Jumping jack flash, it’s a gas
Jumping jack flash, it’s a gas
Jumping jack flash

Aretha Franklin
Love All The Hurt Away
Love All The Hurt Away (Featuring George Benson)
Sam L. Dees


I see myself in your face
A reflection of pain
Somebody made you
Cry over and over again

Still you and I made it
Through all of this for a reason
Yes, we did
Could it be that we created
Affair for all seasons

[CHORUS]
Cause you and I
Were meant to be lovers
The search is over for us
There's no other, we're
Finally at the rainbow's end
Baby, together, we'll mend
All the cracks in our heart
And love all the hurt away

Woman, you are the thing that I
Hoped and I prayed for
You give you love and I'm
Happy like never before

You be the strength and I'll
Be your shoulder to lean on
(You can lean on my shoulder)
Building a world, fill our
Whole place with love songs

[repeat CHORUS 2x]
Love all the hurt away
And love all the hurt away
Yes, we're gonna love
We're gonna love, baby
We're gonna love, love, ohhh
Love all the hurt away
Yeah, yeah........

(feat. Mary J. Blige, Boys Choir of Harlem)
(Bryan Adams, Eliot Kennedy, Andrea Remanda)

My Lord, I have read this book so many times,
But nowhere can, can I find the page that says what I experienced today has any grace

Now I know that life is meant to be hard,
That's how I learned to appreciate my God
Though my courage may be tried,
I can tell you I wont hide,
Because the footprints show you were by my side

You can lie to a child with a smiling face,
Tell me that color aint about a race
You can cast the first stone,
You can break my bones
But you never gonna break,
You never gonna break my faith
Faith and hope aint yours to give
Truth and liberty are mine to live
Steal a crown from a king, break an angels wings
But you never gonna break ,
You never gonna break my faith

My Lord, wont you help them, help them, help them to understand
That when someone takes the life of an innocent man
Well they never really won
Because all they really done is set the soul free
Where it's supposed to be

You can lie to a child with a smiling face,
Tell me that color aint about a race
You can cast the first stone, you can break my bones
But you never gonna break,
You never gonna break my faith
Faith and hope aint yours to give
Truth and liberty are mine to live
Steal a crown from a king, break an angels wings
But you never gonna break,
You never gonna break my faith

For those we lose before their time,
I pray their souls will find a light
I know that the day will surely come, when it will be done
You never gonna break my faith
You never gonna break my faith

Come on over here sweetie I really wanna talk to you for a few
moments.

[Aretha Franklin:]
Sure your in love again your never sure hes gonna be the one cause
on the first night he tryed to get the ooey; cause he kiss you on
your cheek & called you baby it don't mean he ain't runningg no
game;

[Fantasia:]
Could you listen for a minute you ain't the one who is in it;

[Aretha Franklin:]
Now listen don't get it twisted I ain't hatingg cause I been there &
I've done that I'm just watching your back;

[chorus: both]
Lemme put you up on game every man is different but the game
won't change.lemme put you up on game so you don't make the
same mistakes I made; lemme put you up on game; game makes
the players & the players play the game; so before you go & take
his last name lemme put you up on up on game;

[Fantasia:]
Now I hear what you sayingg & I know you tested for worse in your
days & you been through some things he might just be the one my
get up and summon js something bout em so different;

[Aretha Franklin:]
You gotta know yourself a lil better I'm tryna help you girl for what
it's worth;

[Fantasia:]
Cause you done been there & done that; I ain't gon go out like that
nooooo

[chorus: both]

[Aretha Franklin:] I don't wanna see you hurt

[Fantasia:]
I'll be okay
Make a sure thing before
Sometimes youthink you know but you don't
So follow my advice sometimes you gotta know
You need help

[chorus: both]

I understand what you saying
No you don't
I already know all that
No you don't now listen to the voice of experience
I'm listening you know a hard head will make a rude pootey tootey;

[chorus: till fade]

Now there was a time when they used to say
That behind every - "great man."
There had to be a - "great woman."
But in these times of change you know
That it's no longer true.
So we're comin' out of the kitchen
'Cause there's somethin' we forgot to say to you (we say)

Sisters are doin' it for themselves.
Standin' on their own two feet.
And ringin' on their own bells.
Sisters are doin' it for themselves.

Now this is a song to celebrate
The conscious liberation of the female state!
Mothers - daughters and their daughters too.
Woman to woman
We're singin' with you.
The "inferior sex" got a new exterior
We got doctors, lawyers, politicians too.
Everybody - take a look around.
Can you see - can you see - can you see
There's a woman right next to you.

Sisters are doin' it for themselves.
Standin' on their own two feet.
And ringin' on their own bells.
Sisters are doin' it for themselves.

Now we ain't makin' stories
And we ain't layin' plans
'Cause a man still loves a woman
And a woman still loves a man
(Just a same though)

In this world it's hard
you know
lovers come and lovers go

people never seem to hold on to what they've got.
Some they never stay together
you and I will be no better

we can make it last forever
we can keep this love alive.

Through the storm
through the tears

you and I
I know we can survive.
To the day
through the night

if we try we can keep it alive
we can keep it alive.

I know sometimes it's been so tough

we've been so close to giving up

but our love's so strong and we keep holding on

yeah
to what we got.
It's easier to walk away
it takes a lot of love to stay

we've got all the love it takes
we know there's a brighter day.

Through the storm
through the tears

you and I
I know we can survive.
To the day
through the night

if we try we can keep it alive
we can keep it alive.

We just gotta be strong
we just gotta be strong

we just gotta be strong together

we just gotta hold on
we just gotta hold on

we just gotta hold on and go through the storm.

Through the storm
through the tears

you and I
I know we can survive.
To the day
through the night

if we try we can keep it alive
we can keep it alive.

Through the storm
through the tears

you and I
I know we can survive.
To the day
through the night

if we try we can keep it alive
we can keep it alive

(feat. Frank Sinatra)
(Gilbert Becaud, Pierre Delanoe, Carl Sigman)

What now my love, now that you've left me,
How can I live through another day
Watching my dreams turn to ashes,
And my hopes turn to bits of clay

Once I could see, once I could feel,
Now I am numb, I've become unreal
I walk the night, without a goal,
Stripped of my heart and my soul

What now my love, now that it's over,
I feel the world falling all around me
Here come the stars, tumbling around me,
There's the sky, where that sea should be

What now my love, now that you're gone,
I'd be a fool to go on and on
No one would care, no one would cry,
If I should live if I should live or die
What now my love, now there is nothing,
Only my last, my last good-bye

I been workin' graveyard shifts eight days and no breaks
This ain't livin', somethin's missing
Friday night the weekend's here, it's right on time
I'm gonna miss ya, with somethin' different

Ain't no time to waste, it's gettin' late
Let's show them what we can do
My work is done, weekend's just for fun
Get out of your seat, let's move

What y'all came to do?
Put on your dancin' shoes
Yeah we about to burn it up
Come on everybody burn it up

I ain't got nothin' to prove
Ain't got nothin' to lose
Yeah we about to turn it up
Come on everybody turn it up

I been down and back and forth
And side to side
And you're groovin'
Let's keep it movin'

All around the world
Let's get down tonight
You gotta use it
Before you lose it

Don't forget to treat each day
As if it were the last
Life's too short for the blues

Get your light to the fire
Get this party started right
It's time to break all of the rules

What y'all came to do?
Put on your dancin' shoes
Yeah we about to burn it up
Come on everybody burn it up

I ain't got nothin' to prove
Ain't got nothin' to lose
Yeah we about to turn it up

Come on everybody burn it up

I ain't got nothin' to prove
Ain't got nothin' to lose
Yeah we about to turn it up
Come on everybody turn it up

Baby baby, sweet baby
There's something that I just got to say
Baby baby, sweet baby
You left me hurtin' in a real cold way

Speak your name
And I'll feel a thrill
You said I do
And I said I will

I tell you that I'll stay true
and give you just a little time
Wait on me baby,
I want you to be all mine
I just get so blue

Since you've been gone, baby
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
Since you've been gone
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)

(bridge)

Baby baby, sweet baby
I didn't mean to run you away
It was pride on my lips,
But not in my heart
To say the things that made you stray
But ah, babe
Hear me now
(hear me)
I don't know what I'm gonna do
(hear me)
Got to get you back somehow
(hear me now)
Oooh, take me back,
consider me please
If you walk in that door,
I can get up off my knees
I just been so blue

Since you've been gone
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
Since you've been gone
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
Well I've been so lonely
(sweet sweet - sweet sweet baby)
Baby, since you've been gone
(sweet sweet - sweet sweet baby)
I've been so lonely
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
Since you've been gone
(why'd you do it? why'd you have to do it?)
Baby baby baby been so lonely
(sweet sweet - sweet sweet baby)

Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel so uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord it made me feel so tired

Before the day I met you my life was so unkind
You're the key to my peace of mind

Cause you make me feel you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

When my soul was in the lost-and-found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it

Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for
And if I make you happy I
don't need to do more

Cause you make me feel you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

Oh baby what you've done to me
You made me feel so good inside
And I just want to be close to you
You know you make me feel so alive

I feel so alive

you make me feel like a natural woman
you make me feel like a natural woman

I believe in you

you make me feel
you make me feel so much love

This is my same old coat
These are my same old shoes
It was the same old me
With a same old blues
Then you touched my lufe
Just by fallen
And when I look in the mirror
I see a brand new girl
Just cause of you

I got the same old friends
They got the same old shins
I tell the same old jokes
T oh just and I get the same old grins
Now the joke is on you
It happened somehow with you
Everyday of my life
I'm as fresh as morning dew

Just because of you

I go to the same old places
I see the same old faces
I look at the same old sky
See it all with a brand new light
I got brand new b
And I git a brand new smile
Since I found you baby
I got a brand new star

<i>Lyrics &copy; Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC</i>

Ain't no way for me to love you If you won't let me It ain't no way for me to give you all you need If you won't let me give all of me I know that a woman's duty is to help and love a man And that's the way it was for them Oh but how can I how can I how can I Give you all the things I have If you're tying both of my hands Oh it ain't no way It ain't no way It just ain't no way baby Ain't no way baby It ain't no way for me to love you If you won't let me Stop trying to be someone you're not How come it's true there's a man Who payed too much for what he got And if you need me like you say say you do Oh then, then don't you know that I need you Oh, it ain't no way I tell you that it ain't no way It ain't no way, it ain't no way baby, no It just ain't no way It sho' ain't no way It ain't no way for me to love you If you won't let me No way, if you won't let me Ain't no way

Ain't nobody gonna turn me around no more
Ain't nobody gonna turn me around

Well I've learned my lesson and now I see
Love just ain't the thing for me
Ain't nobody gonna turn me around

Ain't nobody gonna talk sweet talk to me
Ain't nobody gonna tell how sweet your love can be
I'm gonna take my love and put in on the shelf
Ain't gonna give it to nobody else
Ain't nobody who's gonna turn me around

Love you've been so doggone mean
You shattered every one of my dreams
You know I can't love nobody else
Yet you left me here all by myself

You turned me around (repeat three more times)
I learned my lesson and now I see
Love ain't the thing for me
Ain't nobody who's gonna turn me around

There ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
There ain't nothing like the real thing
There ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
There ain't nothing like the real thing

I see your picture hangin' on the wall
It can't see or come to me when I call your name
I realize it's just a picture in a frame

I read your letters when you're not near
But they don't move me
And they don't groove me like when I hear
Your sweet voice whispering in my ear

There ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
There ain't nothing like the real thing

No other sound is quite the same as your name
No touch can do half as much to make me feel better
So let's stay together
Together, baby, together, together, together

I got some memories to look back on
And though they help me when you phone
I'm well aware nothing can take the place of being there

There ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
There ain't nothing like the real thing
There ain't nothing like the real thing
There ain't nothing like the real thing
There ain't nothing like the real thing
There ain't nothing like the real thing
...

All the king's horse and all the king's men
They couldn't put my broken heart back together again.
I woke up this mornin' that this is what I found.
You had gone and left me,
Any you never even made a farewell sound.

All the king's horse and all the king's men
They couldn't put my broken heart back together again.
I asked my friends about you and this is what they said,
"She can live without you,
She's gonna find a man with money instead."

All the king's horse and all the king's men
They couldn't put my broken heart back together again.
Someday you will know, the meaning of a love that's true.
But when you find out I won't be around to share it with you.

All the king's horse and all the king's men
They couldn't put my broken heart back together again.
All the king's horse and all the king's men
They couldn't put my broken heart back together again.

Spoken:
I got a call the other day
It was my sister Carolyn, sayin'
"Aretha, come by when you can
I've got somethin' that I wanna say"

And when I got there she said
"You know rather than go through a long drawn out thing
I think the melody on the box will help me explain"

Gotta find me an angel
To fly away with me
Gotta find me an angel
Ooo and set me free

My heart is without a home
I don't want to be alone
I gotta find me an angel
In my life, in my life

Too long have I loved
So unattached within
So much that I know
That I need somebody so
So I'll just go on
Hoping that I find me someone
Gotta find me an angel in my life
In my life...in my life

I know there must be someone
Somewhere for me
Oh I lived too long
Without the love of someone
And there's no misery
Ooooh oooh like the misery
I feel in me

I gotta find me an angel in
In my life
(You'll meet him now don't you worry)
In my life
(Keep lookin' and just keep cookin')
In my life
(He'll be there, now don't you worry)
In my life.

If you want my lovin
If you really do
don't be afraid baby
Just ask me
You know I'm gonna give it to you
Oh and I do declare
I want to see you with it
Stretch out your arms little boy,
You're gonna get it
Cause I love you
ain't no doubt about it
Baby I love you,
I love you, I love you
I love you, baby I love you

If you feel you want to kiss me
Go right ahead I don't mind
All you got to do is
Snap your fingers and I'll come running
I ain't lying, I ain't lying
I heard you once little boy
You know you got it
I'd deny my own self
Before I see you without it
I love you
Ain't no doubt about it
Baby I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, baby I love you

Someday you might want to run away
And leave me sittin' here cryin'
But if it's all the same to you baby
I'm gonna stop you from sayin' goodbye
Baby I love you
Baby I need ya
Said I want ya
Got to have you baby
Don't let your neighbors
Tell you I don't want you

Baby, baby, baby, this is just to say
How much I'm gonna miss you,
But believe, while I'm away,
That I didn't mean to hurt you;
Don't you know that I'd rather hurt myself?
(I'd hurt myself, I'd hurt myself...)

Baby, baby, baby (baby), think of me sometimes (baby);
Because if loving you was so wrong (baby), then I'm guilty of this crime...
(Guilty, I'm guilty, I'm guilty...)
I'm bewildered, I'm lonely, and I'm loveless,
Without you to hold my hand (Reach out for me, boy...);
If you'd just understand... (Reach out to me, right now...)

Those that we love, we foolishly make cry,
Then sometimes feel it's best to say goodbye, goodbye...
But what's inside can't be denied;
The power (power of love), the power of love (power of love) is my only guide,
Baby (oh), baby (oh)...
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, this is just to say
Just how much I'm really gonna miss you,
But believe, while I'm away,
(I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you...)
That I really didn't mean, I didn't mean, I didn't mean to hurt you;
Don't you know that, that I'd rather hurt myself? (I'd hurt myself...)

Baby, I need you, I need you, I need you (I need you, I need you, I need you...)
If I did you wrong, if I did you wrong... (I'd hurt myself...)
I need you, I need you, I need you (I need you, I need you, I need you...)
If I did you wrong... (I'd hurt myself...)

Holy Moses, I have been removed
I have seen the spectre, he was been here too
Distant cousin from down the line
Brand of people who ain't my kind
Holy Moses, I have been removed

Holy Moses, I have been deceived
Now the wind has changed direction
I think I'll have to leave
Won't you please excuse my frankness
But it's not my cup of tea
Holy Moses, I have been deceived, yes, I have

I'm going back to the border
Where my affairs, my affairs ain't been abused
I can't take any more bad water
I've been poisoned from my head down to my shoes
Yes, I have

Holy Moses, I have been removed

Holy Moses, can we live in peace
Let us try to find a way to make all hatred cease
There's a man standing over there
What's his color do you care
Holy Moses, can we live in peace

Holy Moses, can we live in peace
Holy Moses, can we live in
I wonder can we live in peace

(Don't trouble the water)

When you're down now
When you on the street
When evenin' falls
Somehow I will comfort you
I'll take the bow
Whoa when darkness comes
And there's no one you love around
Just like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
(Like a bridge)
Just like a bridge
(Over troubled) over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on silver moon
Sail on by
Your time has come
To shine all of your dreams
Are on their way
(See how they shine?)
Ooooh if you ever need a friend
(Need a friend)
Look around and sailing by
Just like a bridge
(Bridge (over) over (troubled) water
I'll be there to lay me down

Like a bridge over (troubled water) troubled water
I will lay me down
Ooooh I'll be your bridge
Yes I will
