STEVE WINWOOD

"Higher Love" (1986 Island)

LYRICS

Think about it, there must be higher love

Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above

Without it, life is a wasted time

Look inside your heart, I'll look inside mine

Things look so bad everywhere

In this whole world, what is fair?

We walk blind and we try to see

Falling behind in what could be

Bring me a higher love

Bring me a higher love

Bring me a higher love

Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?

Worlds are turning and we're just hanging on

Facing our fear and standing out there alone

A yearning, and it's real to me

There must be someone who's feeling for me

Things look so bad everywhere

In this whole world, what is fair?

We walk blind and we try to see

Falling behind in what could be

Bring me a higher love

Bring me a higher love

Bring me a higher love

Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?

Bring me a higher love

Bring me a higher love

Bring be a higher love

I could rise above on a higher love

I will wait for it

I'm not too late for it

Until then, I'll sing my song

To cheer the night along

Bring it... Oh bring it...

I could light the night up with my soul on fire

I could make the sun shine from pure desire

Let me feel that love come over me

Let me feel how strong it could be

Bring me a higher love

Bring me a higher love

Bring me a higher love

Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?

Kurtis Blow -The Breaks (1980)

KURTIS BLOW

"The Breaks" (1980 Mercury)

LYRICS

Clap your hands, everybody,

If you got what it takes,

'Cause I'm Kurtis Blow and I want you to know

That these are the breaks,

Brakes on a bus, brakes on a car,

Breaks to make you a superstar,

Breaks to win and breaks to lose,

But these here breaks will rock your shoes,

And these are the breaks,

Break it up, break it up, break it up!

If your woman steps out with another man,

(That's the breaks, that's the breaks)

And she runs off with him to Japan,

(That's the breaks, that's the breaks)

And the irs says they want to chat,

(That's the breaks, that's the breaks)

And you can't explain why you claimed your cat,

(That's the breaks, that's the breaks)

And Ma Bell sends you a whopping bill

(That's the breaks, that's the breaks)

With eighteen phone calls to Brazil,

(That's the breaks, that's the breaks)

And you borrowed money from the mob,

(That's the breaks, that's the breaks)

And yesterday you lost your job,

(That's the breaks, that's the breaks)

Well, these are the breaks,

Break it up, break it up, break it up!

Throw your hands up in the sky,

And wave 'em 'round from side to side,

And if you deserve a break tonight,

Somebody say all right!

(All right)

Say ho!

(Ho!)

You don't stop,

Keep on, somebody scream!

(Owwwww!)

Break down!

Breaks on a stage, breaks on a screen,

Breaks to make your wallet lean,

Breaks run cold and breaks run hot,

Some folks got 'em and some have not,

But these are the breaks,

Break it up, break it up, break it up,

Break down!

To the girl in brown, stop messing around,

(Break it up, break it up)

To the guy in blue, whatcha gonna do?

(Break it up, break it up)

To the girl in green, don't be so mean,

(Break it up, break it up)

And the guy in red, say what I said,

(Break it up, break it up)

Break down!

Brakes on a plane, brakes on a train,

Breaks to make you go insane,

Breaks in love, breaks in war,

But we got the breaks to get you on the floor,

And these are the breaks,

Break it up, break it up, break it up,

Break down! Yo!

Just do it, just do it, just do it, do it, do it!

Just do it, just do it, just do it, do it, do it!

Just do it, just do it, just do it, do it, do it!

Just do it, just do it, just do it, do it, do it!

You say last week you met the perfect guy,

(That's the breaks, that's the breaks)

And he promised you the stars in the sky,

(That's the breaks, that's the breaks)

He said his Cadillac was gold,

(That's the breaks, that's the breaks)

But he didn't say it was ten years old,

(That's the breaks, that's the breaks)

He took you out to the Red Coach grill,

(That's the breaks, that's the breaks)

But he forgot the cash and you paid the bill,

(That's the breaks, that's the breaks)

And he told you the story of his life,

(That's the breaks, that's the breaks)

But he forgot the part about--his wife! Huh! Huh!

(That's the breaks, that's the breaks)

Well, these are the breaks!

Break it up, break it up, break it up,

Break down! Ya!

LUTHER VANDROSS

"Never Too Much" (1981 EPIC)

LYRICS

I can't fool myself, I don't want nobody else to ever love me

You are my shinin' star, my guiding light, my love fantasy

There's not a minute, hour, day or night that I don't love you

You're at the top of my list 'cause I'm always thinkin' of you

I still remember in the days when I scared to touch you

How I spent my day dreamin' plannin' how to say I love you

You must have known that I had feelings deep enough to swim in

That's when you opened up your heart and you told me to come in

Oh, my love

A thousand kisses from you is never too much

I just don't wanna stop

Oh, my love

A million days in your arms is never too much

I just don't wanna stop

Too much, never too much, never too much, never too much

Woke up today, looked at your picture just to get me started

I called you up, but you weren't there and I was broken hearted

Hung up the phone, can't be too late, the boss is so demandin'

Opened the door up and to my surprise there you were standin'

Well, who needs to go to work to hustle for another dollar

I'd rather be with you 'cause you make my heart scream and holler

Love is a gamble and I'm so glad that I'm winnin'

We've come a long way and yet this is only the beginnin'

Oh, my love

A thousand kisses from you is never too much

(Never too much, never too much, never too much)

I just don't wanna stop

Oh, my love

A million days in your arms is never too much

(Never too much, never too much, never too much)

And I just don't wanna stop

Oh, my love

A thousand kisses from you is never

(Never too much, never too much, never too much)

I just don't wanna stop

Oh, my love

A million days in your arms is never too much

"Let the Music Play" (1976 20th Century Records)

LYRICS:

"Let The Music Play"

Let the music play

I just wanna dance the night away

Here, right here, right here is where I'm gonna stay

All night long, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, wee

Let the music play on

Just until I feel this misery is gone

Movin', kickin', groovin', keep the music strong

On and on and on and on and on and on and on

And on and on and on and on and on and on and on

I'm out here dancin' and still, huh

I can't erase the things I feel

The tender love we used to share

See, it's like it's no longer there

I've got to hide what's killin' me inside

Let the music play

I just want to dance the night away

Here, right here, right here is where I'm gonna stay

All night long, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Let the music play on

Just until I feel this misery is gone

Ah, movin', kickin', groovin', keep the music strong

Ah, let it play on and on, let it play on and on

And on and on and on and on, play on and on, play

I think I'm gonna be alright, ha, ha, ha

If I can make it through the night, oh, Lord

I'll just pretend she's here with me

I'll close my eyes, her face I'll see

I know it's make believe, but it's the only hope for me

Let the music play

I just wanna dance the night away

Ah, here, right here is where I'm gonna stay

All night long, ooh, ooh, ooh, wee

Let the music play on

Just until I feel this misery is gone

Movin', kickin', groovin', keep the music strong

Let it play on, let it play on, let it play on

Please, let it play on, let it play on

Ten City

"That's The Way Love Is" (1989 Atlantic)

LYRICS:

Two people take a vow to be together

And live and love each other forever.

They promise to love a lifetime

Funny thing

Then they change their minds.

They both go their seperate ways and love is just a memory.

But a young heart doesn't stay sad long

Another love soon comes along.

That's the way love is

That's the way love is

That's the way love is.

Two people don't get along

Deep down in

Both have feelings very strong

They try hard to conceal it.

Their hearts burn 'cause they both know they can feel it.

That's the way love is

That's the way love is

That's the way love is.

Lovers leave without a reason

Feelings change just like seasons.

In love nothing's for certain

There's no use in pretending what's behind the curtain.

That's the way love is

That's the way love is

That's the way love is.

No one knows how this feeling goes

It's hard to believe

Even stranger to conceive.

It's so gratifying

Love's feeling

Ain't no denying.

Yet it's so unfair when the feeling's no longer there.

LYRICS:

Valentine told me who's to go 

Feelings he treasured most of all 

The teachers and the football stars 

It's in his tiny face 

It's in his scrawny hands 

Valentine sold his soul 

He's got something to say 

It's Valentine's day 

The rhythm of the crowd 

Benny and Judy down 

Valentine sees it all 

He's got something to say 

It's Valentine's day 

Valentine told me how he feels 

If all the world were under his heels 

Or stumbling through the mall 

It's in his tiny face 

It's in his scrawny hands 

Valentine Knows it all 

He's got something to say 

It's Valentine's day 

Valentine, Valentine 

Valentine, Valentine 

It's in his scrawny hands 

It's in his icy heart 

It's happening today 

Valentine, Valentine 

It's in his scrawny hands 

It's in his icy heart 

It's happening today
