All I need is you

Stay with me through the night
Let me hold you close till morning light
Lay your head on my heart
Make love to me while it's still dark

You're all that I been praying for
'Cause the way you're loving me
I couldn't ask for anymore

All I need is you
See you're everything that I never had
And baby, all I need is you
See you're everything that I need so bad

I can climb any mountain, I can swim any sea
(All I need, all I want is you, baby)
Just as long as you stay here with me

You see, you?re everything
That a man could ever hope for, yeah

Good God almighty, you're everything
You're everything that I never had
I been looking for and never found it
It's you, baby

Oh love I've waited all my life to find you
I've searched for you in every dream
and suddenly you reached out to me
oh love I remember when I first touched you
I remember how my heart had wings
to said upon
tell me what went wrong

Oh love when you were just within my reach
I was blind to find my dreams of being free
oh love it's not too late for you and me
there's still time as long as we believe
Beleive in love
I thought that I could live without you
I really thought that I was strong
but now you're gone
I'm not half as strong
oh love I never knew how much I missed you
I never knew I had to give to you
to keep you hear

To find my dreams of being free

there's still time
as long as we believe believe

I never knew how life could fade away
a little bit more each day
without you I'm twice the fool
oh love
believe me when I say I'm sorry
we've got to find a way to talk things over
cause it's not over
Believe in love
oh love......

Oh baby, you know I hate to beg
And I really hate to rush you girl
We've been knowin' each other for so long
And I really think it's time to let go, baby

Oh baby, don't you feel my heart
It's missing some excitement and you're the missing part
You're the missing part that can heal my lonely nights
You're the missing part that's makes my day so bright
Can we be lovers?

Can we be lovers?
Can we be lovers?
You're the only one I need in my life
Can we be lovers?
Can we be lovers?
Can we be lovers?

Can't you feel my love, it's calling you
To a romantic rendezvous
I believe every heart wants to feel real love
I don't think true love is a mystery, it's right here for you

Can we be lovers?
Can we be lovers?
Can we be lovers?

Please be careful, baby, how you talk to me
'Cause I have a fragile heart and it's broken [Incomprehensible]
And if it's broken I may never love again
And it will be so sad, sweet darling
To live without my friend

Can't you feel my love it's calling you baby
To a romantic rendezvous
Well, each and every heart wants to feel real, real love
I want you to know that my love is here for you

See let me in your heart
You're the only one I want
In my life, in my life
In my life, in my life, life

Come lay your head on my heart
Soon it'll be apart, stay here to the touch of morning
I'm glad we're leaving as friends
Baby, by the way, I forgot to say

Can't we try, love was never born to say goodbye
Just another helpless fool in love is what I am
But I don't give a damn, sorry, I forgot myself
I guess that I'm just not myself

And I know that we're not supposed to cry
Love was supposed to die when people get to know each other
In case I don't see you again
Really wish you well, baby, this is hell

Can't we try, love was never born to say goodbye
Touch me one more time and make me feel that I'm alive
And if we don't survive
At least we'll have a moment here with honest pain and tears

Then say goodbye, come lay your head down on my heart
The morning suddenly leads you, you know, yet I don't need you
We can't go back to yesterday, go away
Girl, I wished you'd stay

Can't we try, love was never born to say goodbye
Touch me one more time and make me feel that I'm alive
And if we don't survive
Then we will end like we began and even though it's over

Can't we try, let's go back to yesterday, and I
Just another helpless fool in love is what I am
But I don't give a damn
See, once before I set you free, I just got to hold you close to me

Can't we try, love was never born to say goodbye
I want you to touch me, touch me one more time
And make me feel that I'm alive
And if we don't survive
Then we can end like we began and even though it's over

Can't we try, let's go back to yesterday, and I
See, I'm just another, just another helpless fool in, in love is what I am
But I don't give a damn
See, once before I set you free, I got to have you, I got to have you
[Incomprehensible]

Can't we try
Love was never born to say goodbye

Let me give you what you've been waiting for
Baby I got so much love to give
I wanna give it all to you

Close the door
No need to worry no more
Let's bring this day to a pleasant end
Girl it's me and you now
I've waited all day long just to hold you in my arms
And it's exactly like I thought it would be
Me loving you and you loving me

Close the door
Let me rub your back where you say it's sore


Come on get closer
So close to me
Let's get lost in each other
Come here baby

I've waited all day long just to hold you in my arms
And it's exactly like I thought it would be
Me loving you and you loving me

Close the door baby
And let me know you're mine
Plenty good lovin' all through the night
And then again and then again
When the morning comes

Come on and go with me
Come on over to my place

I don?t feel like bein? lonely tonight
You see, I want, I want some company
And you look like you're just my type
You?re the kind, you?re the kind
Whose spirits are runnin? free

Let?s take a sip of some cold, cold wine
And dance to the music nice and slow
And you won?t be under any kind of pressure
You see, we?ll just let, we?ll just let the evenin' flow

Come on and go with me
I?d sure like that, baby
Come on over to my place
It would be so nice, it would be so good
Come on and go with me
Come on over to my place

You look like you?re just bored to death
And you wanna get away
You wanna get away from this noisy crowd
Let?s go where it?s nice and quiet
Where there?s nobody, there?s nobody else around

Let?s sit by a cozy lit fire
And we can be in each other?s company
Now how does that sound to you?
You see, ?cause it sounds so good
It sounds so good to me

Come on and go with me
Would you do that, baby?
Come on over to my place
Would you do that, baby?

But don?t you do it, baby

But would it be all right with you?

Come on and go with me
If we left here and we went somewhere else, baby
(Come on over to my place)
Somewhere where it?s nice and quiet, nice and quiet
(That?s nice, yeah, that sounds a little better than this place)
Where we could sit down by a cozy lit fire
We could sip a little wine, work things out
(Oh, yeah)

Baby, I, oh, I
I can't live without your love
See, I'm smilin' on the outside, while I'm just cryin' on the inside
Facin' a world without your love

See, the truth has come to light
You're the reason nothing's right
Alone again tonight
All just because of some silly fight

I, oh, oh, oh, I
I don't wanna give without your love, foolishly I suffer
I only pretend, oh, just to fool my friend
Don't know what to do with myself without your love

There's a wounded empty space
Nothing can replace that love
That love, that love, that love that I lost
You're my life, you mean so much to me

And I can't go it alone
This winding, this winding road is so long
So pack it up, baby, get it together
Let's start all over again

I, oh, oh, oh, I
I don't wanna live without your love
While I'm smiling on the outside, I'm just cryin' on the inside
Facin' a world without your love

See, I'm fightin' sleepless nights
Tears have washed all hope from sight
Oh, wouldn't it be, wouldn't it be so right
If I had you right here with me tonight
If you only reach out your hand and save a heartbroken man
I can't live

I don't love you anymore
It's just that simple
No, no, no, not like before
Such a shame, dirty shame

We can't work it out
No, not this time
We can't be together
We can only be friends

You gotta respect each other
You gotta reply to your lover
It could never be,
It could never be like it was before,
You don't know what I'm talkin' about

I don't love you anymore
It's just that simple
No, no, no, not like before
Such a shame, dirty shame

I'll take care of my responsibilities
I'll send you your money
Every month, you can depend on that
You better believe that you can

But we can't live together
This way we'll be much better

'Cause you say you never know
You say you never know
Where I'm comin' from
You see I just got to tell ya

I don't love you anymore
It's just that simple
No, no, no, not like before

I just got to tell ya
I don't love you anymore
No, no, no, not like before
I don't love you anymore
No, no, no, not like before

Said I try, and I try, and I try
Said I try

I tried being your man
Tried doing everything that I can
But we can't make it
But we can't make it
We just can't make it
We just can't make it

Maybe someday
Once we get our heads together
Oh, oh, oh oh
Well, we can try baby, try baby

I don't love you anymore
No, no, no, not like before
I don't love you anymore
No, no, no, not like before

I don't love you anymore
No, no, no, not like before
I don't love you anymore

Everything I want I find in you
I find everything in you
When my days and nights are lonely
And friends are few
I find everything in you

Sweet smelling fragrance like a rose
You're so, so, so warm, I'm happy in you
I wake up to the morning sun
Kiss you then I'm on the run

Sometimes work gets so hard
Everyday thoughts of you
Gets me through
I find everything in you

Everything I want I find in you
I find everything in you
Everything I want I find in you
I find everything in you

[Incomprehensible] love on me
I'll be here for you only
Nothing can take a place of you
I thank God for bringing us together
In my eyes you're a treasure, it's such a pleasure

When I wake up to the morning sun
Kiss you then I'm on the run
All I do is think about you baby, all day long
My love song, I find happiness in you, baby

Everything I want I find in you
I find everything in you
Everything I want I find in you
I find everything in you

Everything I want I find in you

Oh, you've been so good to me
I can never leave you baby
No, no, no, no, no, no, no

Everything I want I find in you
Everything in you
Everything I want I find in you
Everything in you

Everything I want I find in you
Everything in you

You know, I'm no beginner
My hearts been to the wall
I'm a tried and true romantic
Who's seen and done it all

And when you walked into my life
Suddenly I knew
All the love I had inside
Was leading me to you

In my time
I've lived and loved so much
Through each high and low
I let my heart be touched

In my time
There isn't much I've missed
I've seen love come and go, but heaven knows
I've never loved like this in my time

After all that I've been through
I'm in love with you

I've won some and I've lost some
But us dreamers don't complain
We keep reaching out for passion
No matter what the pain

When I looked into your eyes
It all fell into place
I found, what I was searching for
Shining in your face

In my time
I've lived and loved so much
Through each high and low
I let my heart be touched

In my time
There isn't much I've missed
I've seen love come and go, but heaven knows
I've never loved like this in my time

After all that I've been through
I'm in love with you

In my time
I've lived and loved so much
Through each high and low
I let my heart be touched

In my time
There isn't much I've missed
I've seen love come and go, but heaven knows
I've never loved like this in my time

After all that I've been through
I'm in love with you

You know, I'm no beginner
My hearts been to the wall
I'm a tried and true romantic
Who's seen and done it all

And when you walked into my life
Suddenly I knew
All the love I had inside
Was leading me to you

In my time
I've lived and loved so much
Through each high and low
I let my heart be touched

In my time
There isn't much I've missed
I've seen love come and go, but heaven knows
I've never loved like this in my time

After all that I've been through
I'm in love with you

I've won some and I've lost some
But us dreamers don't complain
We keep reaching out for passion
No matter what the pain

When I looked into your eyes
It all fell into place
I found, what I was searching for
Shining in your face

In my time
I've lived and loved so much
Through each high and low
I let my heart be touched

In my time
There isn't much I've missed
I've seen love come and go, but heaven knows
I've never loved like this in my time

After all that I've been through
I'm in love with you

In my time
I've lived and loved so much
Through each high and low

In my time
There isn't much I've missed
I've seen love come and go, but heaven knows
I've never loved like this in my time

After all that I've been through
I'm in love with you

It used to be every night
I would cry my heart out over you,
It used to be every day
I would wish you here close to me.

I couldn't sleep, couldn't eat,
I'd just sit at home and I'd weep,
But now all that has changed,
I've found someone to ease my pain

And it don't (hurt now no not now)
Baby it don't hurt now (no not now)
Well there's no more sleepless nights
No more heartaches, no more fights,
And it don't (hurt now, not now)

It used to be every time
I would hear a sad song, I would die.
It remind, me of when you and I
Were sooooo much in love

I couldn't sleep, couldn't eat,
I'd just sit at home and I'd weep,
But now all that has changed,
I've found someone to ease my pain

(And it don't) nooooo (hurt now, no not now)

Trying to tell you, (baby it don't hurt now,
No not now)
Well there's no more sleepless nights
No more heartaches and no more fights,
(and it don't hurt now) no it don't (not now) yeah

---28 seconds of instrumentals (2:46 to 3:14)---

See there's no more sleepless nights
No more heartaches and no more fights
Now all that has changed
I've found someone to ease my pain (And it don't) nooo(hurt now, no not now)
Trying to tell you woman, (baby it don't) it don't (hurt now) no (no not now)

Video Teddy Pendergrass - It Don't Hurt Now

Mmm

I dreamed of you last night
And oh, your face was so very clear
All I could do was think about the good times
That you and I used to share

I could remember the last time
Oh, I held you in my arms
But all those days have come and gone now
And all I seem to do is cry

It hurts {It hurts}
Remembering how things used to be
We thought our love {Our love}
Could last throughout eternity
Now it's history, baby

It should've been you, whoa
It should've been me
It should've been all those that life
Was meant to be

But if I had you, oh, babe
This time you'd see
You would have all my love
I kept {I kept} inside {Inside} me

Now you've got somebody else
Yes, I've got somebody too
But you know I've finally realized
No one could ever take the place of you, no

I'm not the one to place the blame
Or for whatever the fault just might be
All I need is to find a little happiness
Oh, in life that will fulfill me

It's you {It's you}
It's you that means more to me
Without your love
It's nothin' more than fantasy
Baby, come back to me, whoa

It should've been you, whoa
It should've been me
It should've been all those that life
Was meant to be

It should've been you
It should've been me
We could've built a love so strong
But my eyes were closed and I didn't see

Oh, it should've been you
It should've been me
It could've been all the that life
Was meant to be, was meant to be, meant to be, babe

Oh, if I had you, girl
This time you'll see
This time you would have all the love
That I kept, oh, I kept, I kept inside of me

Oh, it hurts {It hurts}
Remembering how things used to be
We thought our love
Could last throughout eternity
Now it's history, whoa, baby

It should've been you (It should've been you, baby)
It should've been me (Should've been me)
It could've been all those in life (All those things in life)
That was meant to be (That was meant to be), oh, baby

I know, I know, I know, I know it should've you
It should've been me
We could've built a love so strong (We could've built a love so strong)
But my eyes were closed and I didn't see

It should've been you (It should've been you, baby)
Oh, it should've been me (Should've been you and me)
It could've been all those in life
That was meant to be, that was meant to be, oh

{Could've been, should've been you}
Oh, I know if I had you, girl
I know this time you'll see (This time you'll see)
I'll show you, baby (I'll show you, baby)
You could have all my love
All the love, all the love I kept wrapped up inside of me, oh yeah

Why don't you give me one more chance (Why don't you)
If you wanna be with me
Take a chance with me, baby
I woke up this morning with you on my mind

Oh, baby
Oh, baby
Come on
Try it again
Let's start all over
We can make it work this time
Come on

Mmm

And oh, your face was so very clear

You could have all my love
All the love, all the love I kept wrapped up inside of me, oh yeah

Why don't you give me one more chance (Why don't you)
If you wanna be with me
Take a chance with me, baby
I woke up this morning with you on my mind

Oh, baby
Oh, baby
Come on
Try it again
Let's start all over
We can make it work this time
Come on

Come lay your head an my heart
Soon be apart, stay here the touch of morning
I'm glad we're leaving as friends
Baby, by the way I forgot to say

Can't we try
Love was never born to say goodbye
Just another helpless fool in love is what I am
But I don't give a damn
Sorry, I forgot myself
I guess that I'm just not myself

And I know that we're not supposed to cry
Love was supposed to die when people get to know each other
In case I don't see you again
Really wish you well
Baby, this is hell

Can't we try
Love was never born to say goodbye
Touch me one more time and make me feel that I'm alive
And if we don't survive
At least we'll have a moment here
With honest pain and tears

Then say goodbye
Come lay your head down on my heart
The morning suddenly leads you
You know, yet I don't need you
We can't go back to yesterday
Go away
Girl, I wished you'd stay

Can't we try
Love was never born to say goodbye
Touch me one more time and make me feel that I'm alive
And if we don't survive
And we'll end like we began
And even though it's over

Can't we try
Let's go back to yesterday
Just another helpless fool in love is what I am
But I don't give a damn
See, once before I set you free
I just got to hold you close to me

Can't we try
Love was never born to say goodbye
I want you to touch me, touch me one more time and make me feel that I'm alive
And if we don't survive
Then we can end like we began
And even though it's over

Can't we try
Let's go back to yesterday
See, I'm just another, just another helpless fool in-
In love is what I am
But I don't give a damn
See, once before I set you free
I got to have you

Can't we try
Love was never born to say goodbye

A million stars feel like the moon, so full of love
Nothin' takes the place of romance since you came
All you need is you and me, baby

Life is a song worth singing
Why don't you sing it?
Life is a song worth singing
Why don't you sing it?

You hold the key in the palm of your hand, use it
Don't blame your life on the master plan, change it

Only you generate the power
To decide what to do with your life
You're a fool if you think you're helpless
You control what you do with your life

Life is a song worth singing
Why don't you sing it?
Life is a song worth singing
Why don't you sing it?

Don't like the way you're living, too bad
Can't change your life 'cause it's out of your hand, so sad

So you sit on your pants and holler
'Cause the world ain't been treating you right
Don't you know you contain the power
To control destiny with your mind

You control what you do with your life
You're a fool if you think you're helpless
Can't change your life 'cause it's out of your hand, so sad, no

You got the power, use it, use it
You got to control destiny with your mind
Right here, right here, right here
You decide what to do with your life, well, well

Life is a song worth singing

Oh love I've waited all my life to find you
I've searched for you in every dream
and suddenly you reached out to me
oh love I remember when I first touched you
I remember how my heart had wings
to said upon
tell me what went wrong

Oh love when you were just within my reach
I was blind to find my dreams of being free
oh love it's not too late for you and me
there's still time as long as we believe
Beleive in love
I thought that I could live without you
I really thought that I was strong
but now you're gone
I'm not half as strong
oh love I never knew how much I missed you
I never knew I had to give to you
to keep you hear
now I need you here
oh love when you were just within my reach
I was blind
To find my dreams of being free
oh love it's not too late for you and me
there's still time
as long as we beleive believe
believe in love
I never knew how life could fade away
a little bit more each day
without you I'm twice the fool
oh love
believe me when I say I'm sorry
we've got to find a way to talk things over
cause it's not over
Believe in love
oh love......

Tell me how long, can we go on this way
Just to be strong
We talk through the night
But never reach the other side
We fill our lives
With endless words, an aimless search

When all that we need, we hold within our hearts
When will we find, our way out of the dark

[
]
We know that
Love is the power, love is the key
Love is the reason, reason to believe
Love is the answer, when we will see
Love is the power, love is the power, we need

Look at our lives, look at this world we've made
We close our eyes, and oh the price we pay
We reach for the sky
But never get beyond our pride

Fighting like fools
This faithless game, is such a shame

When all that we need we hold within our hands
Oh when will we find the faith to understand




All that we need we hold within our hands
Oh when will we find the faith to understand

Tell me how long, can we go on this way
Just to be strong
We talk through the night
But never reach the other side
We fill our lives
With endless words, an aimless search

When all that we need, we hold within our hearts
When will we find, our way out of the dark

[
]
We know that
Love is the power, love is the key
Love is the reason, reason to believe
Love is the answer, when we will see
Love is the power, love is the power, we need

Look at our lives, look at this world we've made
We close our eyes, and oh the price we pay
We reach for the sky
But never get beyond our pride

Fighting like fools
This faithless game, is such a shame

When all that we need we hold within our hands
Oh when will we find the faith to understand




All that we need we hold within our hands
Oh when will we find the faith to understand

Hey, have you ever tried
Really reaching out for the other side
I may be climbing on rainbows
But, baby here goes

Dreams, they're for those who sleep
Life is for us to keep
And if you're wond'ring what this song is leading to
I want to make it with you
I really think that we could make it, girl

No, you don't know me well
In ev'ry little thing only time will tell
But you believe the things that I do
And we'll see it through

Life can be short or long
Love can be right or wrong
And if I chose the one I'd like to help me through
I'd like to make it with you
I really think that we could make it, girl

Baby you know that
Dreams, they're for those who sleep
Life is for us to keep
And if I chose the one I'd like to help me through
I'd like to make it with you
I really think that we could make it, girl

There comes a time
When a man has to answer
For the things that he's done
No one to, no one can answer to
No one but the Man up above

See I have to live my life
But when it's all said and done
No matter what no one says

I'm still my Father's child
Oh yes, I am
And I know He'll take good care me

I'm still my Father's child
Oh yes, I am
I know, I know that He will
Take good care of me

When I'm alone
And I need someone that I can talk to
I hold, I hold out my hand
And I know I can say
I can say anything that's on my mind
Oh yes, I can, alright

See when things are going wrong
And there's trouble in my life
See I call out His name 'cause I know

I'm still my Father's child
Oh yes, I am, alright
And I know He'll take good care me

See, I'm still my Father's child
Oh yes, I am
I just wanna testify
He will, He will
Take good care of me, oh yeah

Anything I can ever need, that He's there
My Father, my Father
He carries me on His shoulder
And when I'm weak
He lifts me up, lifts me up

'Cause I'm still my Father's child, oh yeah
And I know that He's a part of me
No matter what I do, no matter what I say
I know, I know that He will
Take good care of me

I'm my Father's child, oh yeah
I'm still my Father's child
Even when I'm up and even when I'm down
I?m still my Father's child, oh yeah
All I have to do is say
Father, Father

Father's child, Father, Father
Father's child, Father's child
Father's child
