Brook Benton - For My Baby - The Brook Benton Collection [compilation] (2005) by Brook Benton (보컬) on maniadb.com

You keep looking at me while you dance in another's arms
And you pretend to be so enchanted with all his charms
Revenge, revenge, is that all you want?
Well, you've had your revenge; now come back to my arms

You keep telling your friends only heartaches I gave to you
And you hope in the end that my heart will be crying, too
Revenge, revenge, is that all you want?
Well, you've had your revenge; now come back to my arms

Maybe you want me to get down on my knees to you
Well, I'll do it gladly, darling, if that's what pleases you

Ya got to tell me now; you'll get all of a brand-new start
For you've had your delight with just tearing my heart apart
Revenge, revenge, is that all you want?
Well, you've had your revenge; now come on back to my arms

Revenge, revenge, is that all you want?
Well, you've had your revenge; now come back to my arms

I wait in revenge, revenge
Now is that all you want?
Now you've had your revenge; now come back to my arms

Revenge, that's all you want
Well, you've had your revenge
Come on to my arms

The same one you said you needed
The same one who needed you
That same one is lonely
Please mend the heart you've broken in two

The same one you played a game with
The same one who gave his all
That same one is begging
Completely at your beck and call

Although you're fickle-hearted
But darling, I will forgive
'Cause I knew the day we parted
Without you I could not live

The same one you played a game with
The same one who gave his all
That same one is waiting
Completely at your beck and call

The same one, the same one
The same one, the same one
I'm the same one
The same one, the same one

When you see me smile
I'm smilin' for my baby
When you hear me sigh
I'm sighin' for my baby
When I step out as sharp as a tack
The girls whistle but I never whistle back
'Cause everything I do
I do it for my baby

And every time I dream
I dream about my baby
And every time I scheme
I'm schemin' for my baby
I know my baby, she's never hard to find
Because she's always on my mind
And everything I do
So help me, I do it for my baby

My baby, she's somethin' else
Let me tell you, she's fine
I'm glad I belong to her
And she's mine all mine

Everything I make
I make it for my baby
And every dime I take
Oh I just take 'em for my baby
Now when you see us strollin' down the avenue
You just keep your eyes off you know who
Cause everything I do, you know I do it for my baby
When you see me walking alone
I'm tryin' to make it to my baby
When you hear me singin' a song
I'm just singin' for my baby

Dear Mr. Editor, wontcha please
Print my story in your magazine?
Warn all the lovers how a cheating heart
Can only end up in misery

I was a lyin', cheating fool
Treated her so cruel
Broke her heart and made her cry
Broke every rule and that's my

(True confession) she can read the story
(Read it in your magazine) that's my true confession
(True confession) and I'm sorry
(Sorry that I treated her so mean, oh oh, sorry that I treated her mean)

I would call her up and apologize
If I was half the man I should be
But I'm afraid it's too late for that
Cause I know she wouldn't listen to me

I was a lyin', cheating fool
Treated her so cruel
Broke her heart and made her cry
Broke every rule and that's my

True confession, she can read the story
(Read it in your magazine) a-that's my true confession
(True confession) let her know that I'm
(Sorry that I treated her so mean, oh oh, sorry that I treated her mean)

I know her love was true
But I made her cry time after time
Until one day she couldn't take it no more
She said goodbye to me and walked straight out the door, so

Please Mr. Editor, ask her for me
To take me back and give me a try
And I'll be true, oh, so true
And I'll love her till the day I die

And that's my
(True confession), she buys your magazine
(Read it in your magazine) print the story, it's my
(True confession)

And I'm sorry

(Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!)
(Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!)

Now there were three children from the land of Israel
(Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!)
Ah, they took a little trip to the land of Babylon
(Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!)
And ol' Nebudchanezzer was the king of Babylon
(Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!)
So they took a lot of gold, and made 'em an idol
(Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!)

And they told everybody 'when you hear the music of the clarinet,'
They told everybody 'when you hear the music of the flute,'
'Now listen, children, when you hear the music of the horn,'
'Ah, you gotta bow down and worship the idol!'
(Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!)

Ah, but the children of Israel would not bow down!
(Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!)
'We ain't goin' to bow to no golden idol!'
(Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!)
No, you couldn't fool the children with the golden idol!
(Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!)

So the king cast the children in the fiery furnace
(Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!)
He heaped on coal and red-hot brimstone, the Good Book say
(Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!)
Even made it seven times hotter than it oughtta be!
(Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!)
Now they burned up the soldiers that the king had put there
(Shadrack! Meshach, Abednego!)
Oh, Shadrack! Meshach, Abednego!

Um hmm, then the Good Lord called an angel,
Gave him a couple of wings.
He said 'go down there through the middle of the furnace
and begin to coolin' the flames.'
And those children got so happy,
they went struttin' right through the fire.
And this lot they had them talkin' about the power of the gospel.
(Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!)

Oh, Shadrack! Meshach, Abednego!!!

When I go to all the places we used to go
When I see all the people we used to know
They ask me why I look so sad, I have to say
I got what I wanted but I lost what I had

Without your love I'm such a lonely man, that's what I am
And there's no one but myself to take the blame
Because I once had your love and I treated you so bad
I got what I wanted but I lost what I had

Since you've gone, the bright lights are dim
The people don't seem the same
They're so used to seeing us together
Oh, but my, how things have changed

I went searching, not knowing what I'd find
I looked for something and I had it all the time
Now to think I've treated you so bad, makes me sad
I got what I wanted but I lost [Incomprehensible] I had
I got what I wanted but I lost what I had

So close as we dance across the floor
So close to the one that I adore
So close in your arms, yet so far from your heart

So close to the lips I long to kiss
So close, tell me why do you resist?
So close in your arms yet so far from your heart

We're so close to the real sensation
But so far it's only been conversation
Now, if you love me let it show
But I, I've gotta know, I just got to know
Because I'm

Too close to the chance I'd love to take
Too close to the vows I'd love to make
Too close in your arms to be so far from your heart
So close

Money, I ain't got none
Problems, I sure got some
But I got two tickets to paradise
Dontcha wanna go <3 trumpet notes>?

Sadness all round
Gladness just can't be found
But I got two tickets to paradise
Dontcha wanna go with me?

Everything I did was wrong, the day was dark as night
But I found a girl whose love was strong, now everything's all right
(All right!, all right!)

I got to hurry, my bag is packed
I'm leavin' and I ain't comin' back
'cause I got two tickets to paradise
Oh, now dontcha wanna go with me?

The first stop, we'll take a walk
Second stop, we'll have a talk
The third stop <trumpet blast>
Ooh-ee!, you better go with me

Everything I did was wrong, my days were dark as night
But I found a girl whose love was strong, now everything's all right
(All right!, all right!)

I got to hurry, my bag is packed
I'm leavin' and I ain't comin' back
'cause I got me two tickets to paradise
Now don't you want to go with me?

The first stop, we'll take a walk
Second stop, we'll have a talk
The third stop <trumpet blast>
Ooh-ee!, dontcha wanna go with me?

Now don't you want to go with me?
Be my guest, come on and go with me
FADE

Knowing you stand by me through good and bad
Makes all the difference in my life
And day by day, sweetheart, I find
These are the ties that bind
The little things you do that please me so
Aww, the way you always understand
When simple joys bring peace of mind
These are the ties that bind
You're all I need to see me through
Can I say more than this, my love?
I live just for your kiss, my love
I live just for your kiss, my love
Forever and a day, my love will live
Mmm, the flame of love will never die
So heart and soul please say you're mine
Held by the ties that bind
(These are the ties that bind)

As we walk along and I hold her hand
I may never even speak
But my love is strong and she understands
Still waters run deep, still waters run deep
Like the mountain tall reaching for the sky
My love reaches silently
And my eyes disclose what my darling knows
Aww, still waters run deep, still waters run deep
She don't need to hear all those pretty words repeated endlessly
In her heart she knows I would die for her if it had to be
So we walk along and I hold her hand
Though we hardly even speak
I'm a lucky man 'cause she understands
Still waters run deep, still waters run deep
She don't need to hear all those pretty words repeated endlessly
In her heart she knows I'll die for her if it had to be
So we walk along and I hold her hand
Though we hardly even speak
I'm a lucky man 'cause she understands
And still waters run deep, still waters run deep
Still waters
FADE
Still waters run deep

Sinner, hear what I'm sayin'
Sinner, you've been swingin', not prayin'
One day of prayin' and six nights of fun
The odds against goin' to heaven, six-to-one

You walk on the wild side, the Devil is waitin'
He's waitin' to take your hand
You walk on the wild side, you're walkin' with Satan
Away from the Promised Land
One day of prayin' and six nights of fun
The odds against going to heaven, six-to-one

You better cross over, you better walk humble or you're gonna stumble
And Satan is waitin' to take your hand
You walk on the wild side, you walk on the wild side
Away from the Promised Land
One day of prayin' and six nights of fun
The odds against going to heaven, six-to-one

The odds against going to heaven, six-to-one

Going, Going, Gone
Information Society

Sometimes looking back I can't
Believe how many times I left her.
I guess it's all part of the game
That we play.

All is fair in love and war,
But in this case they're quite the same thing.
What's the difference if I go
Or if I stay?

I tried to tell her
I was not the only one to turn to,
But she was indifferent to my pleas.
And now she's
Going, going, gone.
And I did nothing wrong.
But she's going, going, gone.

If I disappeared tonight,
It would not change her mind about me.
She's in love with someone who has changed
Since that day.

She tried to tell me
I was not the only one to turn to,
But I won't get down on my knees.
So she's
Going, going, gone.
And I did nothing wrong.
But she's going, going, gone.
