LYRICS:


I'm so tired of being alone
I'm so tired of on-my-own
Won't you help me girl
Just as soon as you can

People say that I've found a way
To make you say that you love me
Hey baby, you didn't go for that
It's a natural fact
That I wanna come back
Show me where it's at, baby

I'm so tired of being alone
I'm so tired of on-my-own
Won't you help me girl
Soon as you can

I guess you know that I, uh, I love you so
Even though you don't want me no more
Hey hey hey hey, I'm cryin' tears
All through the years
I'll tell ya like it is
Honey, love me if you will

Yeah baby
Tired of being alone here by myself, now
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net ]

In my dreams, nobody but you, baby

Ya see, sometimes I hold my arms, I say mmmm hmmm hmmm

To be my greatest dream, yeah

Sometimes late at night I get to wonderin' about you baby

SINGLE:


LYRICS:


Each day through my window I watch her as she passes by.
I say to myself, you're such a lucky guy.
To have a girl like her is truly a dream come true.
Out of all the fellas in the world, she belongs to me.

But it was just my 'magination, running away with me.
It was just my 'magination, running away with me.

(Soon) Soon we'll be married and raise a family. (Oh, yeah)
A cozy little home out in the country with two children, maybe three.
I tell you, I can visualize it all. This couldn't be a dream, for too real it all seems.

But it was just my 'magination, once again.
Running away with me.
Tell you it was just my 'magination,
Running away with me.

[Paul:] Every night on my knees I pray.

Dear Lord, hear my plea.
Don't ever let another take her love from me.
Or I will surely die. Hmm

(Her love is) heavenly.
When her arms enfold me.
I hear a tender rhapsody.
But in reality, she doesn't even know me.

Just my 'magination, once again.
Running away with me.
Oh, tell you it was just my 'magination,
Running away with me.

I never met her but I can't forget her.
Just my 'magination,
Ooo yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Running away with me.

Ooo, just my 'magination running away with me.
She's in my mind and hard to find.
Just my 'magination...

Stevie Wonder - Living For The City (1973)

Stevie Wonder
"Living for the City"
Album: Innervisions (1973 Tamla)

SINGLE:


LYRICS:


A boy is born in hard time Mississippi
Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty
His parents give him love and affection
To keep him strong moving in the right direction
Living just enough, just enough for the city...ee ha!

His father works some days for fourteen hours
And you can bet he barely makes a dollar
His mother goes to scrub the floor for many
And you'd best believe she hardly gets a penny
Living just enough, just enough for the city...yeah

His sister's black but she is sho 'nuff pretty
Her skirt is short but Lord her legs are sturdy
To walk to school she's got to get up early
Her clothes are old but never are they dirty
Living just enough, just enough for the city...um hum

Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many
His patience's long but soon he won't have any
To find a job is like a haystack needle
Cause where he lives they don't use colored people
Living just enough, just enough for the city...
Living just enough...
For the city...ooh,ooh
[repeat several times]

His hair is long, his feet are hard and gritty
He spends his love walking the streets of New York City
He's almost dead from breathing on air pollution
He tried to vote but to him there's no solution
Living just enough, just enough for the city...yeah, yeah, yeah!

I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow
And that it motivates you to make a better tomorrow
This place is cruel no where could be much colder
If we don't change the world will soon be over
Living just enough, just enough for the city!!!!

La, la, la, la, la, la,
Da Ba Da Da Da Da Da Da
Da Da Da Da Da Da
Da Ba Da Da Da Da Da Da Da
[Repeat to end]

LYRICS:


Fellas I wonder would you mind if I talked to ya for a minute
You know, sometimes we have a tendencies, 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 every day
Then you got to stay on your P's and Q's
If you don't, the woman you can easily lose

Oh I, 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 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 grounds
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 another word
But you gotta make sure that her voice is heard

Oh I, had a love, a true love and I lost it
I'm suffering all this pain that that love caused me
Oh now a woman gotta have it, you got to give it to her
She's got to know that she's needed around
When you kiss her, you gotta make her feel it
She wanna know that she's not walkin' on shaky grounds
Yeah, oh oh

So if you 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, oh yeah
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

You're never gonna get my love

Album: All Directions (1972 Gordy/Motown)

SINGLE:



LYRICS:


It was the third of September.
That day I'll always remember, yes I will.
'Cause that was the day that my daddy died.
I never got a chance to see him.
Never heard nothing but bad things about him.
Mama, I'm depending on you, tell me the truth.

And Mama just hung her head and said,
"Son, Papa was a rolling stone.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."
"Papa was a rolling stone, my son.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."

Well, well.

Hey Mama, is it true what they say,
that Papa never worked a day in his life?
And Mama, bad talk going around town
saying that Papa had three outside children and another wife.
And that ain't right.
HEARD SOME talk about Papa doing some store front preaching.
Talking about saving souls and all the time leeching.
Dealing in debt and stealing in the name of the Lord.

Mama just hung her head and said,
"Papa was a rolling stone, my son.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."
"Hey, Papa was a rolling stone.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."

Uh!

Hey Mama, I heard Papa call himself a jack of all trade.
Tell me is that what sent Papa to an early grave?
Folk say Papa would beg, borrow, steal to pay his bill.
Hey Mama, folk say that Papa was never much on thinking.
Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking.
Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth. Mama looked up with a tear in her eye and said,
"Son, Papa was a rolling stone. (Well, well, well, well)
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."
"Papa was a rolling stone.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."

"I said, Papa was a rolling stone. Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."

"Keep On Keeping On"
Album: Roots (1971 Curtom)

LYRICS:

Everybody gather round and listen to my song
I've only got one

We who are young, should now take a stand
Don't run from the burdens of women and men
Continue to give, continue to live
For what you know is right

Most of your life can be out of sight
Withdraw from the darkness and look to the light
Where everyone's free
At least that's the way it's supposed to be

We just keep on keeping on
We just keep on keeping on

Many think that we have blown it
But they too will soon admit
That there's still a lot of love among us

And there's still a lot of faith and warmth and trust
When we keep on keeping on

Before we dismiss, one thing I insist
When you have your young, remember this song
And our world surroundings, its leaps and bounds
Ups and downs, is reality

Teach them to be strong, and when they are grown
They can proudly imply that we were an alright guy
For all the wrong now is right
This nation's people are now united as one

And we just keep on keeping on
We just keep on keeping on

Many think that we have blown it
But they too will soon admit
That there's still a lot of love among us

And there's still a lot of faith, warmth, and trust
When we keep on keeping on

Keep on keeping on, ya'll
Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on
Keep on, keeping on
(Keep on, keeping on)

We got to move on up, ya'll
(We got to move on up)
Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on

Some years back I remember
Still in my mind so well
My mama made this [Incomprehensible]
And I found it never fails

Never worry too long
(Worry too long)
About what goes on
(About what goes on)
Today it's sorrow
(Today it's sorrow)
Look like joy tomorrow
(Look like joy tomorrow)

Keep on keeping on
(Keep on keeping on)
Keep on, keep on
(Keep on, keep on)

We just keep on keeping on
We just keep on keeping on

Many think that we have blown it
But they too will soon admit
That there's still a lot of love among us

And there's still a lot of faith, warmth, and trust
When we keep on keeping on

Ooh ooh ooh ooh
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)

We're gonna move on up
(We?re gonna move on up)

Keep on keeping on
(Keep on keeping on)
Move on, move now
(Move on, move now)
Keep on keeping on
(Keep on keeping on)

Day after day, I'm more confused
Yet I look for the light through the pourin' rain
You know that's a game that I hate to loose
And I'm feelin' the strain
Ain't it a shame

Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock n roll
And drift away
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock n roll
And drift away

Beginnin' to think that I'm wastin' time
I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
Now I'm countin' on you
To carry me through

Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock n roll
And drift away
Yea, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock n roll
And drift away

And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when I'm feelin' blue
The guitar's comin' through
To soothe me

Thanks for the joy that you've given me
I want you to know I believe in your song
And rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You help me along
Makin' me strong

Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock n roll
And drift away
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock n roll
And drift away

Oh-ho, ah-no
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock n roll

I wanna get lost in your rock n roll

LYRICS:

See that black boy over there runnin’ scared
His old man in a bottle
He done quit his 9 to 5
He drink full time and now he’s livin’ in a bottle

See that black boy over there runnin’ scared
His old man got a problem
And it’s a bad one
He done pawned off damn near everything,
His old woman’s weddin’ ring for a bottle

And don’t you think it’s a crime when
Time after time after time
People in the bottle
There’s people livin’ in the bottle

Listen to me
See that sister, sho’ was fine
Before she started drinkin’ wine in a bottle
She told me her old man committed a crime
He’s doin’ time and now she’s hangin’ in a bottle
I seen her out there on the avenue
All by herself, she sho’ need help from the bottle
I seen a preacherman try to help her out
She cussed him out and hit him in the head with a bottle
They turn to me, and they ask me, Gil,

Don’t you think it’s a crime the way
Time after time after time
People in the bottle
There’s people sho’ nuff in the bottle

I’ll give you another good example

You see that gent in the wrinkled suit
He done damn near blown his cool to the bottle
He was a doctor helpin’ young girls along
If they wasn’t too far gone in her problems
But defenders of the dollar eagle said,
“What you doin, man, ain’t legal”
Now he’s in the bottle
And now we watch him everyday
He’s tryin’ to chase the prisons away from the bottle
He turned to me and he said to me, hey now

Don’t you think it’s a crime the way
Time after time
Friends of mine in the bottle
There’s people sho nuff in the bottle

Come on, hit me the lick one time, stick
Uuh

I’ll tell you a little secret
If you ever come lookin’ for me
You know where I’m bound to be,
In the bottle
Turn around
Look around on any corner
If you see some brother lookin’ like a goner
It’s gonna be me
Sing the song
Na na na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na na na

A dollar nine or a bottle of wine
A dollar nine, get a bottle of wine
A dollar nine, get a bottle of wine
A dollar nine, get a bottle of wine
The bottle

All that I’m concerned about is a bottle
It can turn me inside out for the bottle
All I want
Said all I want
Said all I want
Said all I want since I’m livin in the bottle
A bottle

Sho nuff
Sho nuff
Sho nuff
Sho nuff sho nuff sho nuff sho nuff
Sho nuff

All is fair in love
Love's a crazy game
Two people vow to stay
In love as one they say
But all is changed with time
The future no one can see
The road you leave behind
Ahead lies mystery
But all is fair in love
I had to go away
A writer takes his pen
To write the words again
That all in love is fair

All of fate's a chance
It's either good or bad
I tossed my coin to say
In love with me you'd stay
But all in war is so cold
You either win or lose
When all is put away
The loosing side I'll play
But all is fair in love
I should never have left your side
A writer takes his pen
To write the words again
That all in love is fair

A writer takes his pen
To write the words again
That all in love is fair

LYRICS:

I've heard people say that too much of anything
Is not good for you
Baby. But I don't know about that
As many times as we've loved we shared love and made love
It doesn't seem to me like it's enough

It's just not enough
it's just not enough.

My Darlin' I can't get enough of your love
Babe
Girl
I don't know
I don't know vvhy
Can't get enough of your love
Babe.

Oh
some things I can't get used to
no matter how I try
It's like the more you give
the more I want and Baby
That's no lie
oh no
Babe
tell me
wh;at can't I say
What am I gonna do
how should I feel
when everything is you?
What kinid of love is this
that you've given me
Is it in your kiss or just because you're sweet?
Girl
all I know is ev'ry time you're near

I feel a change somethin' moves
I scream your name
Look what you got me doin'

Darlin' I can't get enough of your love
Babe
.

Girl
if I could only make you see and make you understand
Girl
your love for me is ask I need and more than I can stand
How can I explain
all the things I feel
you've given me so much
Girl
you're so unreal still I keep loving you more and more
Each time. Girl
what am I gonna do

'cause you've blown my mind.
I get the same old feelin'
ev'ry time you're near.

Darlin' I can't get enough of your love
Babe

LYRICS : WHAT'S HAPPENING BROTHER

Hey baby, what'cha know good
I'm just gettin' back, but you knew I would
War is hell, when will it end,
When will people start gettin' together again
Are things really gettin' better, like the newspaper said
What else is new my friend, besides what I read
Can't find no work, can't find no job my friend
Money is tighter than it's ever been
Say man, I just don't understand
What's going on across this land
Ah what's happening brother,
Oh ya, what's happening my man
Are they still gettin' down where we used to go and dance
Will our ball club win the pennant,
do you think they have a chance
And tell me friend, how in the world have you been.
Tell me what's out and I want to know what's in.
What's the deal man, what's happening
What's happening brother
Ah what's happening brother
What's happening my man
Ah what's happening brother
What's been shaken up and down the line
I want to know cause I'm slightly behind the time.

LYRICS:


This, is our fork in the road
Love's last episode
There's nowhere to go, oh no

You made your choice, now it's up to me
To bow out gracefully
Though you hold the key, but baby

Whenever you call me, I'll be there
Whenever you want me, I'll be there
Whenever you need me, I'll be there
I'll be around

I, knew just what to say
Now I found out today
That all the words had slipped away, but I know

There's always a chance
A tiny spark remains, yeah
And sparks turn into flames
And love can burn once again, but I know you know

Whenever you call me, I'll be there
Whenever you want me, I'll be there
Whenever you need me, I'll be there
I'll be around...yeah

Whenever you call me, I'll be there
Whenever you want me, I'll be there
Even if I have to call, I'll be there
I'll be around

Just call me at home, I'll be there
I'll never leave you alone, I'll be there
Just call out your name you know I know you know
I'll be around

SINGLE: 




LYRICS: 


Since I met you I begun to feel so strange
Every time I speak your name (that's funny)
You say that you are so helpless too
That you don't know what to do

Each night I pray there will never come a day
When you up and take your love away
Say you feel the same way too
And I wonder what it is I feel for you

Could it be I'm falling in love (with you baby)
Could it be I'm falling in love (woo)
Could it be I'm falling in love
With you
With you
With you
(With you)

I don't need all those things that used to bring me joy
You made me such a happy boy
And honey you'll always be the only for me
Meeting you was my destiny

You can be sure I will never let you down
When you need me I'll be around
And darling you'll always be
The only for me
Heaven made you specially

Could it be I'm falling in love (with you baby)
Could it be I'm falling in love (woo]
Could it be I'm falling in love
With you
With you
with you
(With you)

And darling you'll always be
The only for me
Heaven made you specially

Could it be I'm falling in love (with you baby)
Could it be I'm falling in love (I wanna know now baby)
Could it be I'm falling in love
With you
With you
With you
(With you)

[Instrumental Interlude]

And darling you'll always be
The only for me
Heaven made you specially

Could it be I'm falling in love (with you baby)
Could it be I'm falling in love (I wanna know now baby)
Could it be I'm falling in love
With you
With you
With you
(With you)

Could it be I'm falling in love
Could it be I'm falling in love
Could it be I'm falling in love
Could it be I'm falling in love
Could it be I'm falling in love
