How I Miss You Baby

[Нет текста]

. . .


Oh, baby!
Girl, don't pull the rug from under my feet (don't do it baby)
Don't leave, don't leave me so, I'm talking in my sleep
This could be the start of a nightmare
Waking up and not finding you there
It would be more that I could stand

Oh, baby
Girl, don't leave me so I'm pacing the floor (don't do it baby)
Cause that's, that's what I'll do if you close the door
Maybe I've been too hung up on myself
But don't change me by putting my heart on a shelf
Cause that's more than I could stand

Why you wanna leave me?
Why you wanna go?
I promise not
To never, never hurt you no more

Oh, please don't leave me
Please don't go
By causin' my heart to ache
Causin' it to break

We, we've still got, a lot of love to give (yeah)
So turn around, baby (turn around)
While there's a lot of life to live
Leavin' me would ruin all of my plans
It would be like tying the both of my hands
And that's more baby than I could stand

Why you wanna leave me?
Why you wanna go?

. . .

I'm Gonna Forget About You

That's The Way I Feel About Cha

Fellas I wonder would you mind if I talked to ya for a minute. You know, sometimes we have the tendency, or should I say we forget, what a woman needs every now and then. That is, if you wanna keep your thing together.
Listen to me now

Do the things that keeps the smile on her face
Say the things that make her feel better everyday
Then you got to stay on your Ps and Qs
If you don't, the woman you can easily lose

Whoa, oh, I had a love and I lost her
And no one can help me share the pain that she caused me
Oh, a woman's gotta have it
I believe, she's gotta know that she's needed around
When you kiss her, you gotta make her feel it
Every time boy,
She wants to know that she's not walkin' on shaky ground

Oh, yeah
Well, think it over
Think it over, my brother
Don't take for granted the smile on her face
Check a little bit closer, you might find a tear trace
Maybe the girl might never say a mumbling word
But you gotta make sure that her voice is heard

Whoa, oh, I had a love and I lost her
And no one can help me share the pain that she caused me
Oh, a woman's gotta have it
I believe, she's gotta know that she's needed around
When you kiss her, you gotta make her feel it
Every time boy
She wants to know that she's not walkin' on shaky ground

So if you've got a love
And you wanna keep her
You got to give her what she wants when she wants it
Where she wants it
And how she wants it
Every doggone time she feels she needs it
What I'm tryin' to say
A woman gotta have it
Hey, hey, hey, a woman gotta have it

. . .


Everybody claims that they want the best things outta life
Ha, but not everyone, not everyone wanna got through the toils and strifes

Like this particular fellah, walks around all day long singin' this song
Sha na lah dah dah lah dah dah dah dah

Harry Hippie, lies asleep in the shade
Life don't bug him cause he thinks he's got it made
He never worry about nothin' in particular
Oh, he might even sell free press on Sunset

I'd like to help a man when he's down
but I can't help him much
when he's sleepin' on the ground

He's like a bottle in water
Harry just floats through life
Walks around all day long singin' this song
Whoa, whoa, whoa, oh yeah

Mary Hippie, she's Harry's lady
Panhandles money just to feed Harry's baby
She can lie down a story so incredible
Man, you wanna help her take the food home and put it on the table

I'd like to help a man when he's down
But I can't help ya, Harry
If you wanna sleep on the ground.
Sorry Harry, you're too much weight to carry around

But he still walks around all day singin' this song
Sha dah dah dah sha nah nah nah nah nah
Nah sha lah lah lah lah dah dah dah

Street child, street child
Tell me where will you be goin'
When old man winter gets his horn and starts blowin'
Will you hang around LA
Or hitch a ride on a freeway
Meet an old familiar face in a new place

I'd like to help a man when he's down
But how can I help him if he's somewhere outta town
Sorry Harry, think I'm gonna put you down
Sha dah dah dah sha dah dah dah dah
Sha lah lah lah lah dah dah dah
Everybody help me sing this song, oh yeah

. . .


Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I was the third brother of five
Doing whatever I had to do to survive
I'm not saying what I did was all right
Trying to break out of the ghetto was a day-to-day fight

Been down so long, getting up didn't cross my mind
But I knew there was a better way of life that I was just trying to find
You don't know what you'll do until you're put under pressure
Across 110th Street is a hell of a tester

Across 110th Street
Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak
Across 110th Street
Pushers won't let the junkie go free
Across 110th Street
Woman trying to catch a trick on the street, ooh, baby
Across 110th Street
You can find it all in the street

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-oh-oh

I got one more thing I'd like to talk to y'all about right now

Hey, brother, there's a better way out
Snorting that coke, shooting that dope, man, you're copping out
Take my advice, it's either live or die
You got to be strong if you want to survive

The family on the upper side of town
Would catch hell without a ghetto around
In every city you'll find the same thing going down
Harlem is the capital of every ghetto town
Help me sing it

Across 110th Street
Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak
Across 110th Street
Pushers won't let the junkie go free
Oh, across 110th Street
A woman trying to catch a trick on the street, ooh, baby
Across 110th Street
You can find it all
In the street
Yes, you can

Oh, look around you, look around you
Look around you, look around you
Yeah
Yeah

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Nobody Wants You When You're Down And Out

[Нет текста]

. . .


I spent a lifetime lookin' for you
Single bars and good time lovers were never true
Playing a fools game, hopin' to win
Tellin' those sweet lies and losin' again.

Chorus

I was lookin' for love in all the wrong places
Lookin' for love in too many places
Searchin' her eyes, lookin' for traces
Of what I'm dreamin' of
Hoping to find a friend and a lover
I'll bless the day I discover,
You - lookin' for love.

I was alone then, no love in site
I did every thing I could to get me through the night
Dont know where it started or where it might end
I'd turn to a stranger just like a friend.

. . .


Girl, you're welcome...stop on by
You know I'll be here, baby
To dry your eyes, to dry your eyes
But I'm gettin' tired of being that second guy
Don't you be no fool, baby
You 'bout to lose your old standby

Is it the material things that he's givin'
Can you truly say that you're happy livin'
True love, I'm the one that's giving
I'm tryin' to keep from hurtin' your feelings
Oh, baby, stop on, stop on, stop on by

Girl, you're welcome, stop on by
One day, one day, one day one day, one day
I might even want to make you cry
Don't take for granted
I'll always be there
‘Cause there's some woman somewhere
That could truly need me (think about it, baby)

Is it the material things that the man is givin'
Can you truly say that you're happy livin'
True love, I'm the one that's giving
I'm tryin' to keep from hurtin' your feelings
Oh , stop on, stop on, stop by, stop on by

It's All Over Now

Well, looks like I'm going again
I can't seem to believe myself
Here I go again,
Here I go again
Here I go again
Listen to me now

It's five o'clock AM and the party
Is still going strong, there's a
Conversation going in the corner
Big Ed is all on the lawn
And the FM music is groovin'
Folks getting down, getting down
In their stocking feet
Sleepy eyes are peeping
From the window across the street

And it looks like daylight's
Gonna catch me up again
Most people like getting up
When I'm just getting in
Oh, its the only, only time
It seems to be the only time
When I can unwind

Swore to myself
Time and time, and time again
That I would give up the nightlife
And start layin' in
But it ain't easy no, no
Sayin' no to my friends
‘Cause the real
‘Cause the real set don't get started
‘Till everyone else is in

And it looks like daylight's
Gonna catch me up again
Most people like getting up
When I'm just getting in
Oh, its the only, only time
It seems to be the only time
When I can unwind
