Hey hey uh huh huh huh huh oh
Uh huh huh huh huh huh yeah
It's twenty five miles from home
Girl, my feet are hurting mighty bad
Now I've been walking a three day, two lonely nights
You know that I'm mighty mad
But I got a woman waiting for me
That's gonna make this trip worthwhile
You see she's got the kind of lovin' and a kissing
A make a man go stone wild
So I got to keep on walkin'
I got to walk on, oh ho ho
I, I, I, I'm so tired
But I just can't lose my stride

I got fifteen miles to go now
And I can hear my baby calling my name
It's as if as though I'm standing at her front door
I can hear that doggone plain
Now I'll be so glad to see my baby
And hold her in my arms
Now when I kiss her lips
I turn a back over flip and I'll forget these feet of mine
I got to keep on walkin'
I got to walk on oh ho ho
I, I, I, I, I'm so tired but I just can't lose my stride
Walk on let me tell you ya'll I, I, I, I, I, I'm so tired
But I just can't lose my stride
Come on feet don't fail me now
I got ten more miles to go
I got nine, eight, seven, six, eight, six
I got a five more miles to go
Now over the hill just around the bend
Huh although my feet are tired I can't lose my stride
I got to get to my baby again

Last week my life had meaning
It was beautiful and so sweet
But now it's nothing, nothing without you baby
My whole world is incomplete
Cause honey I can't see you no more
That was all that you said baby
But you just might as well have placed a gun to my head
Baby, baby, oh why did you do it
My whole world ended
The moment you left me
yeah baby, honey, my whole world ended
The moment you left me
It tumbled down to the ground, baby

Did you ever mean those sweet things
All that you use to say
did you mean 'em baby
A lovely, lovely garden and a little baby someday
Oh tell me baby
Where did I go wrong, honey
Whatever changed your mind, baby
I've asked myself these questions over a million times
Baby, baby, oh baby
My whole world ended the moment you left me
It tumbled down to the ground, baby, baby, baby
Oh baby now my body is numb
I feel so senseless to the touch
My life is so wasted, so wasted without you
I guess I love you much too much
Oh baby how can I face tomorrow
When yesterday is all I see
I just don't want to face tomorrow
If you're not sharing it with me
Baby, baby oh tell me why my whole world ended
The moment you left me
Oh yes it did, baby, baby
My whole world ended the moment you left me
It tumbled down to the ground
Baby, I keep holding on, holding on
Although your love is gone, baby

I don't know why I love you
I don't know why I love you
I don't know why I love you
But I love you

Always treat me like a fool
Kick me when I'm down that's your rule
I don't know why I love you
But I love you
Oh you never stop your
Cheatin ways with another guy
You laugh in my face
Lord how long must I be disgraced
Cause I love you
Oh baby, baby, baby
I don't know why I love you
I don't know
You and me baby, oh
I don't know why I love you baby
But I love you baby
Oh darlin, darlin, darlin

You throw my heart down in the dirt
You made me crawl on
This cold black earth, baby
No I never, I never knew
How much love could hurt
Until I loved you baby
Till I loved you baby, baby
Oh baby, I can't stop
I can't stop crying can't you see
Here I'm pleadin on my knees
I'm on my knees
Won't you help me, help me please
Cause I love you, I love you baby
Sure enough, baby, yeah
I don't know, you don't know
We don't know none of us
Can't do nothing about it
I don't know, I don't know
Oh baby, I don't know, I don't know
Nobody can do nothing about it

La la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
My cherie amour lovely as a summer day
My cherie amour distant as the Milky Way
My cherie amour pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart leaps for.
How I wish that you were mine.

In a cafe or sometimes on a crowded street
I've been near you but you never notice me
Oh cherie amour won't you tell me how could you ignore
Back behind this little smile I wore
How I wished that you were mine.
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
Maybe some day you'll see my face among the crowd.
Maybe some day you'll share your little distant cloud.
Oh cherie amour pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart leaps for
How I wish that you were mine.

La la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la

I don't know why I love you
I don't know why I love you
I don't know why I love you
But I love you

Always treat me like a fool
Kick me when I'm down that's your rule
I don't know why I love you
But I love you
Oh you never stop your
Cheatin ways with another guy
You laugh in my face
Lord how long must I be disgraced
Cause I love you
Oh baby, baby, baby
I don't know why I love you
I don't know
You and me baby, oh
I don't know why I love you baby
But I love you baby
Oh darlin, darlin, darlin

You throw my heart down in the dirt
You made me crawl on
This cold black earth, baby
No I never, I never knew
How much love could hurt
Until I loved you baby
Till I loved you baby, baby
Oh baby, I can't stop
I can't stop crying can't you see
Here I'm pleadin on my knees
I'm on my knees
Won't you help me, help me please
Cause I love you, I love you baby
Sure enough, baby, yeah
I don't know, you don't know
We don't know none of us
Can't do nothing about it
I don't know, I don't know
Oh baby, I don't know, I don't know
Nobody can do nothing about it

RUNAWAY CHILD, RUNNING WILD
WRITERS NORMAN WHITFIELD, BARRETT STRONG

You played hooky 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've been punished cause your mother Wants to raise you 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 Run away child, running wild Run away child, running wild Better come back home Better come back home Where you belong Where you belone Roaming through the city Going nowhere fast You're on your own at last Hey it's getting late, where will you sleep Gettin kind-a hungry You forgot to bring something to eat Oh lost with no money, you start to cry But remember you left home Wanting to be grown So dry your weepin eyes Siren screamin down, neon light is flickin You want your mama Ah there's nothing for you You're frightened and confused I want my mama But she's much too far away She can't hear a word you say You heard some frightening news on the radio About little boys running away from home And their parents don't see them no more You wanna hitch a ride and go home 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 make the choice Run away child, running wild Better go back home where you belong Run away child, running wild Better go back home where you belong You're lost in this great big city (Go back home where you belong) Not one familiar face Ain't it a pity (Go back home where you belong) Oh run away child, running wild You better go back home where you belong Mama, mama please come and see about me But she's much too far away She can't hear a word you say I want my mama You're frightened and confused Which way will you choose

Baby I need your lovin'
Baby I need your lovin'
Although you're never near
Your voice I often hear
Another day, another night
I long to hold you tight
'cause I'm so lonely

Baby I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'
Baby I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'

Some say it's a sign of weakness
For a man to beg
Then weak I would rather be
If it means havin' you to keep
'cause lately I've been losin' sleep

Baby I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'
Baby I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'

Every night I call your name
Sometimes I wonder girl, will I ever be the same
When you see me smile you know
Things are just gettin' worse
Any smile you might see baby
Has all been rehearsed
Baby I can't go on without ya
This lonliness won't let me live without ya
This emptiness inside me baby
Makes me feel half alive

Baby I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'
Baby I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'
Baby I need your lovin'
Got to have all your lovin'

You may not know how
To make words rhyme
Carry a tune or a clap on time now
You may have no knowledge of musical things
But deep down inside of me
You have created a melody
You're the composer of the song
That my heart sings
You may not what
Quarter notes are
Or what I mean by Four to the Bar now
Such musical terms may be Greek to your ears
But deep down inside of me
You have created a melody
You're the composer of the song
That my heart hears
Now it's a tender song
It's like a rhapsody, a symphony
This song I find in this heart of mine
And it's begging you
Let nothing keep us apart
Oh, my darling
Cause you put a song in my heart
Now this song that I find in my heart for you
Every lyric and line
I swear it's true
The number one song on my personal chart
Deep down inside of me
You have created a melody
You're the composer of the song
That's in my heart
Deep down inside of me
You have created a symphony
You're the composer
You put a song in my heart
You're the composer
You put a song in my heart
You're the composer
You put a song in my heart...

<i>Lyrics &copy; EMI Music Publishing</i>

I ain't got time to think about money
Or what it can buy
And I ain't got time to sit down and wonder
What makes a birdie fly

And I don't have the time to think about
What makes a flower grow
And I've never given a second thought
To where the rivers flow

CHORUS:
Too busy thinking about my baby
And I ain't got time for nothing else

Said, I ain't got time to discuss the weather
How long it's gonna last
And I ain't got time to do no studies

And I don't have the time to think about
What makes a flower grow
And I've never given a second thought
To where the rivers flow

CHORUS:
Too busy thinking about my baby
And I ain't got time for nothing else

Said, I ain't got time to discuss the
weather
How long it's gonna last
And I ain't got time to do no studies
Once I get out of class
Tellin ya I'm just a fellow
Said I got a one track mind
And when it comes to thinking about
anything but my baby
I just don't have any time

CHORUS

The diamonds and pearls in the world
Could never match her worth, no no
She's some kind of wonderful, people tell ya
I got heaven right here on earth
I'm just a fellow
With a one, one track mind
And when it comes to thinkin' about
anything but my baby
I just don't have any time

CHORUS

(yeah, she's never hard to find
'cause she's always on my mind)

By the look in your eye I can tell you're gonna cry.

Is it over me?

If it is, save your tears

For I'm not worth it, you see.

For I'm the type of boy who is always on the roam,

Wherever I lay my hat that's my home,

I'm telling you that's my home.

You had romance, did you break it by chance

Over me?

If it's so I'd like for you to know

That I'm not worth it, you see.

For I'm the type of boy who is always on the roam, mm,

Wherever I lay my hat that's my home,

Mm, that's my home.

Oh, you keep telling me, you keep telling me I'm your man.

What do I have to do to make you understand?

For I'm the type of guy who gives girl the eye,

Everybody knows.

But I love them and I leave them,

Break their hearts and deceive them everywhere I go.

Don't you know that I'm the type of man who is always on the roam,

Wherever I lay my hat that's my home.

Wherever I lay my hat, oh oh, that's my home, mm yeh,

That's my home

And I like it that way.

A man can walk proudly,
Down in the street.
A man's not ashamed of what he believes.

He knows how to laugh,
He knows when to cry.
He knows it's best to live.
He's afraid to die.

What is a man,
What is a man?
What is a man,
What is a man?

A man searches,
For the key to success.
He'd rather be sure,
Than take a wild guess.

He knows how to love,
He knows how to hate.
He knows when to move.
He knows just when to wait.

What is a man,
What is a man?
What is a man,
What is a man?

A man can be angry,
& still hold his tongue
A man don't give up
Till the battle is won.

He knows how to win,
He's not ashamed to lose.
He knows his destiny
is his alone to choose

What is a man,
What is a man?
What is a man,
What is a man?
What is a man,
What is a man?
What is a man,
What is a man?
Just what is a man?

What does it take
(What does it take)
To win your love for me
(To win your love for me)

How can I make
(How can I make)
This dream come true for me
(come true for me)

Oh, I just got to know
(got to know)
Oo, baby cause I love you so

Gonna blow for you

{25 seconds of sax solo}

I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried
In every way I could
To make you see how much I love you
(see how much I love you)
Oo, I thought you understood
(thought you understood)

So you gotta make me see
(make me see)
What does it take to win your love for me
Gonna blow again for you

{35 seconds of sax outro}

People gather round me... This is to who it may concern
I'm not tryin' to run your life but you're never too old to learn
Stop worryin' about your neighbors and the fancy things they got
'Cause if you do you'll find it's true, you're gonna wind up on the spot

Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Joneses get you down
Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Joneses get you down

You may not believe it but nine times out of ten it's true
The people you're tryin' to keep up with are tryin' to keep up too
Remember that old sayin'; "All that glitters ain't gold"
Take heed, don't ignore it, and to your money tightly hold

Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Joneses get you down
Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Joneses get you down

You're a leader yourself but you don't even know it
You're so busy followin' Joneses you ain't got time to show it
Keeping up with the Joneses, it only makes your life a mess
Bill collectors, tranquilizers and gettin' deeper in debt

You better leave the Joneses alone
You better leave ---oh leave--- the Joneses alone

Joneses got a new car today
Here's what you should say; Hooray for the Joneses
Instead you worry 'til your whole head turns gray
Worryin' about the Joneses
Remember it's their car and they're the ones who had to pay
So leave (boom boom) the Joneses alone
Your car might be old but, remember; It never fails to get you where you want to go

Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Joneses get you down
Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Joneses get you down

You're doing fine
Don't let the Joneses blow your mind

If you see somethin' you want and you know you can't afford it
Well the very next thing for you to do is start saving towards it
The Joneses have been the downfall of many a person you see
So, people, take my advice and let the Joneses be

Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Joneses get you down
Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Joneses get you down

You're doing fine
Don't let the Joneses blow your mind
You're doing fine
Don't let the Joneses blow your mind

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?

Capricorn, Scorpio, Taurus
Gemini, Virgo, Cancer
Pieces, Leo, Libra
Aries, Aquarius, Sagittarius

The moon shines bright above
And the charts declare it's not my night for love
Ah the beat of my heart
I feel a good vibration
Saying you and me baby
Would make a good combination
There's no need for looking to the stars
Can't you see the stars shine in my eyes
I love you boy,
I really love you boy

No matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are
Can't let astrology chart our destiny
No matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are

The beat of the heart my love
Is stronger than the charts my love
Your water sign just lit my fire
You fill me with such desire
I love you boy,
I really love you boy

No matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are
Can't let astrology chart our destiny
Oh no matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are
Need you beside me love
Only you guide me love

Capricorn, Scorpio, Taurus
Gemini, Virgo, Cancer
Pieces, Leo, Libra
Aries, Aquarius, Sagittarius

I don't care about your rising sign
All I know is when your lips touch mine
You move me boy, you really move me boy
No matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are
Hold me tight, ah hold me
Hold me, hold me, hold me

<i>Lyrics &copy; EMI Music Publishing</i>

Do you know that some folks know about it, some don't
Some will learn to shout it, some won't
But sooner or later baby, here's a ditty
Say you're gonna have to get right down to the real nitty gritty
Now let's get right on down to the nitty gritty
Now one, two nitty gritty
Now yeah, mmm, nitty gritty now
Ooooowee, right down to the real nitty gritty
Ooooowee, can you feel it double beatin', I keep
in
Get right down to the real nitty gritty
Say it again double beatin'
Get on down, we gotta get right down to the real nitty gritty
Let's get, let's get right on down to the real nitty gritty
It's all right, it's all right
Get on down, get on down
Get right down to the real nitty gritty
Listen to me now
Oooowee, ooowee
Come on and let the good times roll
Let the music sink down in to your soul
Double beatin', keep
in'
You gotta get right down to the realy nitty gritty
Get on down, get on down
Talkin' about the nitty gritty
Get on down, get on down

Hmm, hmm, hmm-mmm
I was raised an only child
My folks died when I was four
They were trapped in a fire
Way up on the fourteenth floor

Well, my lovin' granny raised me
'Til I reached the age of ten
But the good Lord took her too
And left my dog Jeff, my only friend

Oh, baby
Seem like the odds are against me
Nothing works out right for me, ooh

I've lost everything I've ever loved
Honey, honey, now I'm losing you, baby
I've lost everything I've ever, ever loved
Honey, honey, now I'm losing you
Ooh, baby

So, all my love I gave to Jeff
Cause he was all I had right then
But the wheels of an automobile
Brought his life to a tragic end

From an orphan home to college
Thought I found true love in you
I felt sure we would marry
But your folks did not approve

Oh, baby
Seem like the odds are against me
Nothing works out right for me, ooh

I've lost everything I've ever loved
Now I'm losing you, oh
I've lost everything I've ever loved, baby
Honey, honey, now I'm losing you
Ooh, baby

You accepted their decision
Without any type of defense
They said if we wait a few more years
That would make a little more sense

So we waited three or four
Everyday we kept in touch
But when we came face to face
You didn't love me quite as much

Oh, baby
Seem like the odds are against me
Nothing works out right for me

I've lost everything I've ever loved
Baby, baby, baby, now I'm losin' you
I've lost everything I've ever loved
Now, I'm losin' you
Now, I'm losin' you

I've lost everything I've ever loved
(Every, every, everything, ever)
Now, I'm losin' you
(Honey, now I'm losing you)

Hold it, everybody
Hold it, hold it, listen

I can turn the gray sky blue
I can make it rain
Whenever I want it to
Oh, I can build a castle
From a single grain of sand
I can make a ship sail
Huh, on dry land

But my life is incomplete
And I'm so blue
'Cause I can't get next to you
I can't get next to you, babe
(Next to you)
I can't get next to you
(I just can't get next you)
I can't get next to you, babe
I can't get next to you

I can fly like a bird in the sky
Hey, and I can buy anything
That money can buy
Oh, I can turn a river into a raging fire
I can live forever if I so desire

Unimportant are all the things I can do
'Cause I can't get next to you
I can't get next to you, babe
(No matter what I do)
I can't get next to you, uh-yeah

Ooh, woo, ooh, woo
Ooh, woo, ooh, woo
Chicka boom, chicka boom
Chicka boom, boom, boom

I can turn back the hands of time
You better believe I can
I can make the seasons change
Just by waving my hand
Oh, I can change anything from old to new
The things I want to do the most
I'm unable to do

Unhappy am I with all the powers I possess
'Cause girl you're the key to my happiness
And I can't get next to you

Girl, you're blowing my mind
'cause I can't get (Next to you)
Can't you see these tears I'm crying?
I can't get (Next to you)
Girl, it's you that I need
I gotta get (Next to you)
Can't you see these tears I'm crying?
I can't get (Next to you)
I, I, I, I
I can't get (Next to you)
I, I, I, I
I can't get (Next to you)
Girl, you're blowing my mind

Oh, baby
As the bitter tears fall from your eyes
Oh, a thousand times you ask yourself why
The one guy you loved has departed
Oh, you're left alone and brokenhearted
Ooh, love just comes and it goes
How long it's gonna last, said nobody knows

Uh-huh, that's the way love is, baby
(That's the way love is, sure enough, how it is)
Oh, that's the way love is, sugar
(Ooh, that's the way love is, sure enough, how it is)
Oh, that's how it is
Oh, that's how it is, my little darling

Yeah, now, I know you're walkin' down a lonesome road
And your heart is carryin' a heavy load
I know you feel like you ain't got a friend (Feel like you ain't got a friend)
Oh, and your whole world's cavin' in (Whole world is cavin' in)
Oh, but now it's time to be strong (It's time to be strong)
You've gotta forget him now that's he's gone (Now that he's gone)

And remember, that's the way, love is, honey
(That's the way love is, sure enough, how it is)
Oh, that's the way, love is, baby
(That's the way love is, sure enough, how it is)
Ah, that's how it is
Oh, oh, my little darlin'

Oh, baby, whoo

Oh, listen to me, little darlin'
The road of love gets rough sometimes
Don't let it get the best of you
Said I've been hurt by love so many times (Been hurt so many times)
So I know just what you're goin' through
Oh, you wish that you were never born
You've gotta forget him now that he's gone (Forget him now that he's gone)

Just remember that's the way love is, baby
(That's the way love is, sure enough, how it is)
Oh, that's the way love is, honey
(That's the way love is, sure enough, how it is)

That's how it is
So wipe away your tears
Love is here today and gone tomorrow
(That's the way love is, sure enough, how it is)
I said all of your joys turn to sorrows
(That's the way love is, sure enough, how it is)

Baby, baby
You don't understand
How much I love you baby
And how much I wanna be your only man, oh baby
Baby, baby, baby
You don't have to go
Stay a little while longer baby
I wanna talk to you just a little more
I see the little tears in your eyes about to fall
You are wondering if I'm for real
But if you cry, I wonder why you cry
I tell you, know why this is how I feel
Baby I'm for real
Baby I'm for real
Baby I'm for real
But if you really wanna know the truth about it
Girl, I just can't live with out you
And that's why I'm confessing my love to you
So that I can live my whole life with you
Baby, baby, baby
Don't leave
Never, never, never, never gonna leave you baby

I never, never had a dream come true
In my every dream, I'm loved by you
And we're free as the wind
And true love is no sin
Therefore, men are men, not machines

I never, never had a dream come true
Without you, the world out there is painted shades of blue
Since our roads never crossed
I work just to please the boss
Think I might as well get lost in my dreams
Do do do do do.........

I never, never had a dream come true
Yes, I'm gonna dream about you baby my whole life through
Seems my folks are ashamed
Said I ain't worth a thing
But I'm glad I'm chained to my dreams
Do do do do do..........

Keep on dreamin'
Sing along with me
Keep on dreamin'

Yester-me Yester-you Yesterday

What happened to the world we knew
When we would dream and scheme
And while the time away
Yester-me yester-you yesterday

Where did it go that yester glow
When we could feel
The wheel of life turn our way
Yester-me yester-you yesterday

I had a dream so did you
Life was warm and love was true
Two kids who followed all the rules
Yester-fools and now
Now it seems those yester-dreams
Were just a cruel
And foolish game we used to play
Yester-me yester-you yesterday

When I recall what we had
I feel lost I feel sad with nothing
but the memory of yester love
and now it seems those yester dreams
Were just a cruel
And foolish game we had to play

Yester-me yester-you yesterday
Yester-me yester-you yesterday
Sing with me
Yester-me yester-you yesterday
One more time...

They say your love will surely fade girl
When things go wrong and trouble calls
But they don't know that your sweet sunshine babe
Will never fade when darkness falls
They say that when the chips are down girl
Your love won't stay so long my friend
But they don't know that your sweet lovin' babe
Has been around through thick and thin

And I'd be a fool right now
If I should hurt you girl
And I'd be a fool right now
If I should leave you girl
And I'd be a fool right now
If I wouldn't love you girl
And I'd be a fool right now
On the outside looking inside

They say your love is surely goin'
Just like a snowman in the sun
But they don't know that your sweet lovin' babe
Was here when all my friends were gone

And I'd be a fool right now
If I should hurt you girl
Oh, such a fool right now
If I should leave you girl
Baby, baby, a fool right now
If I wouldn't love you girl
And I'd be a fool right now
On the outside lookin' inside

All my dreams would fall and crumble into dirt
If I walk away from you I'd be the one to hurt
One day my dreams were surely dying, dying, dying baby
Just like a flower without rain
They just don't know that your sweet sunshine babe
Made my life blossom again
And so the story goes around baby yeah y-yeah
That this is just a passing thing
But I believe in your sweet lovin', lovin'... babe
With every summer fallin' rain

And I'd be a fool right now
If I should hurt you girl
Oh, such a fool right now
If I should leave you girl
I'd be a fool right now
If I wouldn't love you girl
And I'd be a fool right now
Oh, hey!

And I'd be a fool right now
If I should hurt you girl
Oh, such a fool right now
If I should leave you girl
Baby, baby, a fool right now...

Just to kiss your sweet, sweet lips,
Hold you ever so tight and I wanna say
Someday we'll be together.

Oh, Sunny boy
Now let me tell you how much good
You've done me boy
Cause when I'm feeling alone
You give me plenty joy
Into each lives some rain must fall
But with you here
There's no rain at all

Sunny boy
Looks good in everything
From silk to corduroy
To see him I'd walk from Idaho to Illinois
(Or anywhere)
Do anything to be with him
My sunshine when the world is dim
It's sunny boy, sunny boy
My pride and joy
Sunny boy

Sunny boy
You made my life so sweet
It's just like honey, boy
And I love you so much till it ain't funny boy
My cloudy days have been de-clouded
Since you're here so keep on shining

Sunny boy, sunny boy
My pride and joy
Hey, sunny boy
My honey boy
Now only your sweet lovin' can give me joy
I'm trying to tell the world
That you're my sunny boy

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
You don't have to tell me you've gone to found someone new.
'Cause I can feel his presence, whenever I'm-a-kissing you.
How can you ask me to try, try and understand
Well, just put yourself in my place.
Go on, just see if you can.
I'm-a begging you. (Don't, don't you let him)
Baby, please. (Don't let him, don't let him take your love from me)
I'm begging you, baby. (Don't, don't you let him)
Oh no. (Don't let him, don't let him take your love from me)
So what if he whispers how much he loves you in your ear.
But pay no mind 'cause I love you much more my dear
My love are like mountains.
That's how strong it is for you.
If you ever walk away in to his arms
Which will surely break my heart in two.
I'm begging you. (Don't, don't you let him)
Oh no. (Don't let him, don't let him take your love from me)
Baby, baby, I'm begging. (Don't, don't you let him)
No, no, no, no. (Don't let him, don't let him take your love from me)
Oh, I couldn't stand it, baby.

If you leave me for him you would truly be unfair.
Now, just ask yourself, whenever you needed me, wasn't I always there
Now, I'm begging you, baby, baby, down on my bended knees.
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, please stay here with me.
Baby, please. (Don't, don't you let him)
Oh no. (Don't let him, don't let him take your love from me)
Baby, baby, please. (Don't, don't you let him)
I couldn't stand it. (Don't let him, don't let him take your love from
me)
I ain't too proud to beg. (Don't, don't you let him)

They ask me to forget about you
Go out and find someone new
But that won't be eas', you see
After all the things you've done for me
Told the men I ain't too proud to say
With you I stand tall and strong
'Cause without you, girl, I'm nothin' at all

CHORUS:
How, how can I forget ya?
After all you've done for me
Oh woman, you'll always be a part of me
I, I can't forget you
It's impossible, you see
Woman, you'll always be a part of me

Girl, I'm down on my bended knees
And I'm beggin' you please, beggin' you please
Woman, woman, don't set me free
'Cause right this moment in the sun
My life was wastin' away
Girl, your love gave me hope and strength
You're the reason I'm alive today
Girl, you don't realize what your love means to me
It's more precious than the evergreens

(repeat chorus and fade)

There's a train leaving here tomorrow, oh ya
And I'll be a free man once again, oh yes I will now

I'm so glad I served my time
I'm gonna meet the girl that I left behind
And when I see her, I'm gonna give her
All the love I've got
Ooh, when I see her, I'm gonna give her
All the love I have got

There were times, there were times
When each day seems like a year, oh yes I did now
But the sweet things she said in her letters
Made the times just disappear, oh yeah
She said, "No one's arms will I let hold me
'Cause in your arms is where I want to be"

So when I see her, I'm gonna give her
All the love I've got
Ooh, when I see her, I'm gonna give her
All the love I've got
Baby, ooh baby, my little daring, I'm coming home

Countless nights I stared out my window
At the moonlight, yes I did now, listen peope
Thinking about the way I used to hold her tight, hmm
I must've been out of my mind to do the wrong I did
And leave her behind

So when I see her, I'm gonna give her
All the love I've got
Woo, when I see her, I'm gonna give her
All the love I've got
When I see her, when I see her, when I see her

Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at
Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at
Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at
Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at
People let me tell you about a place I know
To get in it don't take much dough
Where you can really do your thing, oh yeah
It's got a neon sign outside that says
Come in and take a look at your mind
You'd be surprised what you might find, yeah
Strobe lights flashin' way till after sundown
People gather there from all parts of town
Oh yeah, what do I call it
You know it's just across the track
People I'm talking about the psychedelic shack

Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at
Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at, oh yeah
You can have your fortune told
You can learn the meaning of soul
There ain't no such thing as time
Incense in the air
'In" signs painted everywhere
I guarantee you this place will blow your mind
Music so high, you can't get over it
So low you can't get under it
Right around the corner just across the track
People I'm talking about the psychedelic shack

Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at
Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at
Millionaires, kings and queens go there to do their things
You might see anybody there, yeah
Bear skin rugs, tails and beads
Don't really matter what you wear
You can take off your shoes, sit on the floor
Join in and be what you wanna be
Don't you know that it's right
Around the corner just across the track
People I'm talking about the psychedelic shack

Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at
Psychedelic shack, that's where it's at
They got a cat there shouting the blues
Talking about payin some dues
People walking around reciting poetry
Screamin guitars and a thousand colored lights
People I'm telling you this place is really out of sight
You can have your fortune told
You can learn the meaning of soul
I guarantee this place will blow your mind
Don't you know it's right around the corner
Just across the track
People I'm talking about the psychedelic shack

THAT'S THE WAY LOVE IS
WRITERS NORMAN WHITFIELD
BARRETT STRONG

Ah baby
After many tears fall from your eyes
A thousand times you ask yourself why
The one guy you love has departed
You're left alone and broken-hearted
Love just comes and goes
How long it's gonna last nobody knows
CHORUS:
That's the way love is, baby (or honey, or other endearing term)
(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is)
That's the way love is, baby
(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is)
That's how it is
I know you're walkin' down a lonesome road
And your heart is carryin' a heavy load
I know you feel like you ain't got a friend (ain't got a friend)
And your whole world's cavin' in (cavin' in)
Ah, but now is the time to be strong (to be strong)
You better forget him now that he's gone (now that he's gone)
Remember...
(chorus)
(instrumental)
Listen to me, little darlin'
The road of love is rough sometimes
But don't let it get the best of you
I've been hurt by love so many times
I know just what you're goin' through
You wish you were never born
You better forget him now that he's gone
(chorus)
Wipe away your tears
Love is here today and gone tomorrow
(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is)
All your joys turn to sorrow
(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is)
One day gladness, and the next day sadness
(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is)
...and fade
